Chapter 587 Losing Huanggang, King Yi wants to escape
As the commander of the 100,000 army, the Manchu prince, Duoduo has his majesty, he can kill people in anger without a word, and show his joy and anger without fear, but at critical moments, he can also do not be happy and angry.
He listened to Niu Lu's whisper, his brain was buzzing, and he was so shocked that he couldn't do it, but he didn't show it, just nodded and said, "Got it." ”
Seeing this, Niu Lu secretly praised in his heart, the prince is the prince, this kung fu of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and not changing his face, he is afraid that the horse will not be able to catch up.
When the Qing generals saw Niu Lu's appearance, they all thought that something big had happened, but when they saw Duoduo understatement, they didn't care.
At this time, Duoduo was still patrolling in front of the battle for a while, and ordered the army to attack the city as usual, but compared with the previous days, it was obvious that today was just a show, and he didn't fight for a while, and then directly withdrew his troops.
This seems to be no different from usual, and the army continues to attack the city, and it is indeed necessary to take a breath, but the thoughtful people still notice the abnormality.
The Qing army withdrew to the camp, Duoduo returned to the big tent, and on the way, Tong Yanglai was recruited over, but the other generals did not call any of them.
When Tong Yanglai entered the tent, Duoduo was pacing back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, looking a little restless, Tong Yanglai's heart was a pang, he stepped forward quickly, patted the horseshoe sleeves, and saluted Qian'er: "Slave, I have seen the prince." ”
Duoduo turned around, fixed his body, raised his hand to get him up, and then went straight to the point: "Jin Shenghuan blew up Huanggang City, and the army entered Sanjiangkou, and it will be able to reach Wuchang in a few days." ”
Hearing this, Tong Yanglai's heart was shocked, he expected that something bad might happen, but he didn't expect Ma Guangyuan to lose Huanggang so quickly with 20,000 horses.
To say that a city like Huanggang should be no problem to spend half a month when the defenders are sufficient, but it was broken in just a few days.
Naturally, the Qing army did not calculate that the Ming army had an additional team that was good at blasting.
In another period of history, a rebel army set out from Guangxi, relying on a group of miners, called "Tuying", all the way from Guangxi to Nanjing, only Changsha lost its hand in the middle, and the rest of the fortified cities along the way, most of them collapsed, and the army swarmed in.
As soon as the Huanggang was broken, the situation of the Qing army became dangerous, the army lacked food and grass, and it could be outflanked, and these things could not be known to his subordinates.
Duoduo sent Ma Guang to the far east to block Jin Shenghuan, but also under the pretext of exterminating the 48 villages of Qihuang and causing chaos, the Qing army knew that the Mandahai was defeated, and only a very small number of people were outflanked by Jin Shenghuan.
Now the situation has deteriorated further, and if the Qing soldiers know that they will run out of food and grass, they will be outflanked immediately, and I am afraid that there will be chaos immediately.
By this time, there were not many people who could discuss with Duoduo, and as a member of the Tong family, Tong Yanglai was now the person he relied on the most.
"Lord Wang, do you have a decision?" Tong Yanglai understood that the situation was serious, and it was a matter of life and death, so he said with a calm face.
Duoduo is now riding a tiger and is in a dilemma, and he can't make up his mind, so he can't make up his mind, so he asked Tong Tulai to discuss, "Ma Guangyuan retreated to Sanjiangkou, lost most of the men and horses in his hands, Jin Shenghuan advanced with all his might, he estimated that he would not be able to resist for long, and once Jin Shenghuan killed Wuchang, our army will be in turmoil, and the situation is worrying!" ”
Tong Tulai listened to it and knew Duoduo's difficulties, he originally wanted Ma Guangyuan to stop Jin Shenghuan, wait for him to fight Wuchang first, the army obtained grain and grass, and defeated He Tengjiao, and then turned around to fight Jin Shenghuan, but now Ma Guangyuan did not stop Jin Shenghuan, which made him in a dilemma.
If the troops are withdrawn, they will definitely face pursuit, and the Qing troops will inevitably suffer heavy losses. If he continues to attack Wuchang, he must continue to divide his troops to support Ma Guangyuan, but in this way, it is inevitable that he will be unable to attack Wuchang again, and he may be defeated even worse in the end.
He's really a rat getting into the bellows now, and he doesn't know where to go.
"Lord Wang, forgive the slave for being blunt, even if the troops are divided again, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop it for long, and the food and grass of the army are about to run out, if Wuchang cannot be broken, once the soldiers find that the food is exhausted, I am afraid that there will be chaos immediately." Tong Tulai said, raised his eyes and glanced at Duoduo, and saw that he frowned and pondered, so he immediately said boldly: "The slave suggests, take advantage of the fact that Jin Shengheng has not arrived, and the army will immediately withdraw to the De'an Mansion, go up the Baihe River, go out of Jiuli Pass, enter the Huai River, and make a detour back to Jiangnan!" ”
Duoduo listened to the words, his heart had already decided, he made a wrong step, He Tengjiao is now determined to fight with him, his army attacked for a few days, the corpses piled up like a mountain, but he failed to break the city, and now he has divided his troops to support Ma Guangyuan, so the possibility of breaking the city is even smaller.
But then again, how did more than 100,000 people retreat from under Wuchang City? Moreover, when De'an Mansion went south last year, it was destroyed, and He Tengjiao moved the people of northern Hubei and made a no-man's land of hundreds of miles, so that the Qing soldiers could not collect grain on the spot. What should I do if the Ming army pursues and kills?
Duoduo said in a deep voice: "If the army is going to retreat, how can more than 100,000 people go?" Since ancient times, there have been many examples of retreats that have turned into routs. He Tengjiao's strength in Wuchang City is still there, and there are more than 10,000 people blocking Yinxi in Jiangxia, most of this king is an infantry army, and they can't run fast, how can they let this king retreat? ”
Tong Tulai heard Duoduo express his worries, and already knew that Duoduo also preferred to withdraw his troops, first preserve his strength, and then make a comeback in the future, but he was worried that the Ming army would chase and kill, and the retreat would turn into a rout.
Tong Tulai pondered for a moment and said: "Lord Wang, before Ma Guangyuan led his troops eastward, in order to prevent the defenders of Wuchang from discovering that our army was reduced, knowing that reinforcements were coming, Lord Wang let 20,000 people live in the camp. Now we can do the same, and let the army and the people quietly change camps, so that the Ming army in the city will mistakenly think that the army is still under the city, and we will quietly evacuate at night. ”
The Qing army surrounded Wuchang, the army camped in front, the people were behind, after Ma Guangyuan led 20,000 people to leave, Duoduo transferred 20,000 people to the barracks, the Ming army in the city was far away, and it was not true, so I didn't know, Jin Shenghuan came east.
When Duoduo heard this, his eyes lit up, although the people ate less, but it was almost 100,000 people, and the consumption was also very huge. If he leaves the people, he will have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the food he will get out of northern Hubei will be enough.
Duoduo felt that this method was feasible, but then he said: "The army is all gone, the people are not controlled, and it is easy for the Ming army to see the clues, how to solve this?" And what about the ships that the king brought? If it falls into the hands of the Ming army, Jiangnan will be in danger. ”
Tong Tulai had a draft in his heart, "The prince can leave a reliable person, lead thousands of soldiers and horses, and stay in Wuchang City temporarily." First, to monitor the people, so that the defenders could not see the clues, and secondly, after the army left, burned the ship and retreated. ”
Duoduo nodded, this suggestion is indeed good, it is equivalent to sacrificing thousands of people to ensure the safe retreat of the main force.
More than 30,000 people died in the siege, and Duoduo didn't care about a few thousand more deaths, but the key question was, who would want to bear the burden of this apparent death, and still carry out the order to burn the ship even though he knew that he was going to die?
Even if Eight Flags is reliable, it is not easy to find such a selfless person.
If any of the Green Battalion generals could do it, Duoduo would be moved to tears by his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.
Tong Tulai was also aware of this, and when he saw that Duoduo was looking at him, he was startled, and immediately tilted his head away from him, and pretended to be in deep thought.
There was silence in the tent for a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Tong Tulai was desperately thinking about the right candidate, but Duoduo's eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out, "Fu Shangrui!" ”
