Chapter 514: Huang Taiji's Confusion (Ask for Subscriptions, Recommend Collections) (Page 1/1)

"Order, the whole army is attacking!"

Woo, the loud sound of the retreat horn resounded in Mang Gurtai's ears, just as he blurted out the order to rush to Jinzhou.

"Damn, the son of a bitch..."

Seeing that his order to attack quickly had not yet been passed on, the retreat horn sounded first. As soon as the retreat horn sounded, the Han army flag that was moving forward immediately stopped and turned back when he heard the sound, and Mang Gurtai's face completely changed.

What's the matter, how can this son of a bitch react so quickly?

"Master, the slave went to pick off Tong's head?"

Hearing the sound of the retreat horn, the guards around Mang Gurtai were already startled, and when they heard Mang Gurtai's scolding again, all the guards suddenly showed a fierce light in their eyes and held the handle of their swords and asked for orders.

Kill Tong Yangxing?

His eyes swept over the Han Army Banner that had stopped when he heard the sound, and looked at the position where the Han Army Flag had stopped, and Mang Gurtai sighed.

Looking up at the still silent Jinzhou City, he stared hatefully at the ecstatic Tong Yang in front of the battle, and Mang Gurtai squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Withdraw the army, return to the camp." ”

The call to retreat has sounded, the Han army flag has stopped and turned back, and the best chance to destroy this Han army flag has disappeared. At this time, even if you kill Tong Yangxing, it will not help. Just to completely offend Tong Jia's family for the sake of venting his evil anger, Mang Gurtai is not so brainless.

Anyway, today is only the seventh day, since it was your Emperor Taiji who ordered the suspension of the siege, and it was your Han army banner that took the lead in withdrawing the army, then don't blame me for reckless Gurtai who got off the donkey and pushed the boat down the river.

Turning his horse back, Mang Gurtai had already made up his mind.

In the loud sound of the retreat trumpet, it was not until he saw the general flag representing Mang Gurtai turning silently that Tong Yangxing spit out a long breath that he had held in his mouth.

In the past six days, every time he sent the detailed battle situation of Jinzhou to Huang Taiji, Tong Yangxing was full of expectations. Tong Yangxing is extremely hopeful that Huang Taiji can issue an order to stop the siege as soon as possible.

To this end, in addition to the messengers sent continuously, Tong Yangxing also personally arranged for an array of personal guards to wait on the periphery of the camp. Tong Yangxing was afraid that he would miss the stop siege order sent back by Huang Taiji.

It's a pity that in the past few days, all the replies that Tong Yangxing received from Huang Taiji were to let him continue to obey Mang Gurtai's orders and continue to attack the city.

In the past six days, seeing that the casualties of the Han Army Banner are getting bigger and bigger, and the morale is getting lower and lower, Tong Yangxing is really about to despair.

And today, at the last moment when the Han military banner was about to embark on a journey of collapse, Huang Taiji 'suspended the siege', and this coveted order finally came. How can Tong Yangxing not be ecstatic?

After receiving the news, for the sake of his own future and his own family, Tong Yangxing would of course blow the horn of retiring from the army as soon as possible.

However, now looking at the vanguard soldiers of the Han Army Banner who were dangerously stopping at the edge of the moat, Tong Yangxing couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

Almost, really just a little bit.

If the Han army flag had already stepped through the moat and the Ming army's artillery fire had begun to counterattack when Tong Yangxing sounded the call to retreat, then Tong Yangxing would be in big trouble.

Withdrawing from the army without confrontation, Tong Yangxing can only be regarded as timid and afraid of war and contempt for the coach at best. With the support of Huang Taiji's instructions and the face of the Jurchen Tong Jia clan, Mang Gurtai can't be seriously blamed with him.

And once the artillery fire of the Ming army fired, the Han army flag could be regarded as officially entering the battle. The nature of retreating before the battle and retreating during the battle is completely different.

During the battle, without the permission of the commander, Mang Gurtai could use this excuse to immediately kill Tong Yangxing. If he was really killed in that situation, Huang Taiji would not only not be able to blame Mang Gurtai, but even Huang Taiji would have to applaud Mang Gurtai's behavior.

Battlefield discipline is inviolable!

"Thankfully, the Great Khan is wise. Fortunately, the moratorium came at the right time. Thankfully, fortunately. Looking at the Han army flag that stopped at the edge of the moat, Tong Yangxing was full of luck.

When I gave the order to blow the trumpet to retreat, I didn't feel it, but now Tong's heart is full of cold sweat.

What's the situation?

watched the Houjin army gather in front of the formation; watched as the Houjin army slowly began to move; Watching the Houjin army slowly press forward to the edge of the filled moat.

Seeing that the war was about to break out in the next moment, suddenly...

Suddenly, Jin simply withdrew his troops and returned.

This, what is this?

At the head of Jinzhou City, the Ming army, which was waiting for the battle, saw Houjin's sudden withdrawal of troops, and their faces showed surprise and joy.

What kind of trick is Hou Jin playing?

In the inexplicable atmosphere of surprise and surprise of the Ming army at the head of the city, a large number of questions surged in Zhao Shujiao's heart.

What did Houjin want to cover up with such a large-scale feint? Is Houjin going to prepare for the withdrawal of troops, or...

In the midst of the doubt, Zhao Shujiao's brain began to spin rapidly.

Zhao Shujiao doesn't believe that after six days of Houjin's continuous attack, it would be meaningless to put on such a decisive posture and suddenly cancel it?

After all, even if you don't mention the damage to the morale of the army, the Houjin gathering such a large army to engage in a feint attack is far more troublesome than the whole Ming army going to the city to be on guard.

"Come on."

In the midst of cheers, Zhao Shujiao vigilantly beckoned the guards around him, and whispered: "Quickly go and arrange for the night not to be collected, and go out of the city to investigate." See if any reinforcements are coming from the Tartars? ”

If the Tartars are ready to retreat, it's fine, but if the Tartars feint to cover up the arrival of reinforcements, then...

Looking at the Houjin army that slowly retreated to the camp, Zhao Shujiao's face was full of solemnity.

Outside Jinzhou City, on the official road, people shouting horses and neighing are very lively.

The Houjin army, which had left Ningyuan, was slowly marching towards Jinzhou under the command of Huang Taiji. Surrounded by the army, the fat Huang Taiji had a smile on his face, laughing and chanting as he walked.

Looking at it suddenly, the smiling Huang Taiji seemed to be in a good mood, and he had a bit of a victorious bearing. In fact, Huang Taiji's heart is now heavy and abnormal.

The battle situation in Ningjin has been carried out so far, and it has greatly deviated from Huang Taiji's expectations. Huang Taiji really never thought that Da Ming would execute the Jianbi Qingye so cleanly and thoroughly.

More than 200 miles!

Huang Taiji really didn't expect that between Jinzhou and Ningyuan, a vast area of more than 200 miles, the Houjin army was criss-crossed, and he really didn't grab any useful captures. In an area of more than 200 miles, the only harvest of Houjin is the hundreds of stone grain left by Zu Dashou as a cover.

It took more than 100,000 days to march hundreds of miles back and forth, and more than 10,000 casualties among the soldiers, but only a few hundred stones of grain were obtained. Can this kind of battle be called victory?

The food grabbed was not enough for the consumption of the army, and although his skin was thick enough, Huang Taiji still felt a faint pain in his heart.

Huang Taiji really can't figure it out, the Ming Dynasty is rushing to build Jinzhou City, even if the building materials needed to build the city can be made from local materials, many Ding Zhuang soldiers can be built in Jinzhou, as well as the soldiers and soldiers guarding Jinzhou, these tens of thousands of people always have to eat and drink, right?

Huang Taiji, who has been in control of Houjin logistics all year round, knows very well that the amount of grain and grass required by tens of thousands of people is really not a small number. The supply line from Ningyuan to Jinzhou, which is more than 200 miles long, has also made the transportation of grain and grass more difficult.

Attacking Ning Jin, Huang Taiji actually rushed this supply line between Ning Jin.

In Huang Taiji's thoughts, he grabbed the warehouses of various military stations on the Ningjin supply line, and then grabbed a few manors casually, and the harvest of Houjin should not be small. But now...

Huang Taiji really couldn't figure it out, how could the Ming army withdraw so quickly and completely without the slightest existence?
