Volume 10 Return my rivers and mountains

Chapter 1 The Han Tigers and Tigers set out together

Section 5 Tartar Division

When everyone heard Huang Taiji's words, they were all taken aback, and many people immediately spoke out against it, and for a while, the big tent was full of exhortations.

And Azig stood up directly and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if our army divides its forces like this, then our army's superiority in strength no longer exists, and the soldiers who stay to fight against the Hanwei army are bound to have few troops, can they withstand the onslaught of the Hanwei army?" When the time comes, it will only give the Hanwei Army a chance to break through! Our army must not divide its troops! ”

Dai Shan also said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that it is better to consider this matter in the long run. After all, the Acropolis of Fuzhou has not been lost yet, which means that the combat power of the Ming army is not outstanding, at best it is just a rabble with a large number of people, even if some cities are laid down with human lives, it will not be able to set off any big storms, and it is enough to send a partial division south to deal with it, and there is no need to send the main army to go there. ”

Huang Taiji listened to everyone's advice, and didn't say anything, but looked at Dolgon and Duoduo on the side, and saw that both of them were silent, as if the things in front of him had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart.

"Humph! The two of you are really calm, I let you each lead a flag, originally to put you by my side to watch out, and let you and Daishan's old fox balance each other. But you think you are smart, and you are secretly accumulating strength and installing cronies, don't you know all of them? It's disgusting to pretend to be low-eyed in front of me! ”

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but snort coldly, then waved his hand to stop everyone's words, and said to everyone: "If I only send a partial division south to Liaonan, the small number of troops will not work, and the large number of troops will still affect the battle situation on the Liaohe battlefield; Moreover, after a long time, the news of the chaos in southern Liaoning will definitely affect the morale of our army, and accidents will arise. Moreover, although our army has more troops than the Hanwei army, there is not much difference in the overall strength of the enemy and us, and it can be said that they are equal, and this battle must be a protracted war of attrition; The Ming country has a large land and a large population, as long as you make up your mind, you can consume it for a long time, but my Qing Dynasty is unable to fight for a long time, and there is no need for the Hanwei army to attack after a long time, and our army will be dragged to death directly! ”

Speaking of which, everyone, including Azig and Dai Shan, was full of sorrow, and everyone was very aware of this Achilles heel of the Qing Dynasty, and at present, this weakness was still unsolvable for the Qing Dynasty.

A protracted war is as dangerous as a deadly poison for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has a very thin family background, and it is extremely difficult to feed hundreds of thousands of elite troops, even the Ming Dynasty, which has a vast territory and a large population, will even be dragged down, not to mention the Manchu Qing who only have a corner of Liaodong? Now the reason why Huang Taiji was able to gather hundreds of thousands of troops was completely drinking to quench his thirst.

Is there really only one way to break this protracted war?

Everyone frowned and thought. Dorgon and Dodor looked at each other, their eyes glinting inexplicably, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Everyone's expressions all fell into the eyes of Huang Taiji without exception, Huang Taiji sneered in his heart, and then continued: "Now that the situation is like this, it is impossible to break the situation easily, instead of being so passive, it is better for me to simply divide the army!" I decided to leave an elite army here to confront the Hanwei army across the river, and at all costs to block the Hanwei army on the west bank of the Liao River until I led the victorious army back to help; The rest of the banner armies all followed me south to Liaonan, and slaughtered the Ming army in Liaonan first! In this way, our army's morale will be stable and morale will be high, while the Hanwei army will inevitably be demoralized if it loses strong reinforcements, and even Liu Yunwei may make mistakes! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone knew that Huang Taiji had made up his mind, this battle was destined to be a big gamble, if he won the bet, the Qing Dynasty would soar into the sky, and if he lost, everyone would return to the deep mountains and old forests to be savages!

As a result, everyone no longer advised, but waited intently for Huang Taiji to announce the candidate who would stay to block the Han Wei army.

"Hauge!"

"Erchen is here!"

"Dordor!"

"The minions are here!"

Huang Taiji said loudly: "The two of you each lead your own banner soldiers and horses, leaving behind to block the Hanwei army on the other side of the Liao River, Haoge is the main general of the army, and Duoduo is the deputy general of the army!" ”

When Haoge heard that Huang Taiji had let himself lead an army alone against the world-famous Hanwei Army, he couldn't help but feel full of fighting spirit, and only felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, and immediately said loudly: "Erchen has an order!" Erchen must stick to the east bank of the Liao River, and not let a single soldier of the Han Wei Army set foot on the east bank of the Liao River! ”

And Duoduo frowned slightly, glanced at Dolgon, and then slowly got up to receive the order.

Huang Taiji was not annoyed when he saw this, but said with a smile: "Although Haoge is the chief general of the army, he has little experience in leading troops, and he has to rely on the white flag to make more efforts in this battle!" ”

Although Duoduo knew that this was Huang Taiji taking the opportunity to weaken his strength and let himself fight hard with the Han Wei army, he was helpless, so he expressed his determination.

But Dolgon's face did not change, and even laughed in accord with Huang Taiji. But what Dorgon thought in his heart, I'm afraid only he knows.

After that, Huang Taiji said: "In addition to the blue flag and the white flag left to block the Han Wei army, the Han army flag must also leave a part of the troops!" Kong Youde, you can lead the two blue flags to stay. ”

Hearing this, Kong Youde hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and then stood beside Haoge with joy, smiling flatteringly. And Hauge didn't look at Kong Youde from beginning to end, but was annoyed by Kong Youde's laughter, and immediately scolded a few times, knocking Kong Youde aside.

Finally, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Prepare the army tonight, and tomorrow night, the army will take advantage of the night to withdraw and go south." The left-behind army should plant more banners, and try not to let the Hanwei army find signs of our army's southward movement! ”

In the middle of the night of the second day, Huang Taiji took advantage of the night to lead a total of 500,000 troops from all parts of the Qing army to set off and quickly advance in the direction of southern Liaoning.

(During the bloody battle of the Liaohe River, the Qing army suffered about 100,000 casualties, but most of them were Han army flags and Korean eight banners, and Huang Taiji continued to capture Han people and weave them into the Han army flag, so the loss in strength was not large.) ）

In the early morning of the next day, Hauge ordered Kong Youde to plant flags in various camps of the Qing army, pretending to be that the main army was still there. At the same time, Haoge also ordered all the collected ships totaling more than 500 to be concentrated on the river in front of the main camp, so that the Han army with the blue flag led by Kong Youde could board the ships and fight, and constantly patrol along the Liao River to prevent the Han Wei army from suddenly crossing the river to fight.

When Dordor saw that Hauge began to give orders, he kept silent and only silently cooperated, but he still remembered the scene when Dorgon met with him before the main army set off.

At that time, Dorgon took advantage of the gap in the assembly of the army to find Dordor and said to him: "This time that guy wants your white flag to be used as cannon fodder, and to weaken our brother's strength by the hand of the Hanwei army; If I'm not mistaken, when I get to Liaonan, my white flag will also be used as cannon fodder by him. Therefore, our brothers must pay more attention to neither let that person catch the handle, nor be pushed up and sent to death! ”

"But what should I do? In order to keep the vitality of the white flag without falling off the handle? ”

Duoduo couldn't help but ask himself in his heart again, but at this moment, Hauge, who had finished giving the order, turned to look at Duoduo, who was frowning, and asked with a sneer: "Prince Yu seems to be full of worries, I don't know what he is thinking?" ”

"Oh, nothing, nothing. This king was just thinking about the battle situation in front of him, thinking about how to cooperate with Prince Heshuosu to defend the Liaohe River defense line. ”

"Oh? And so, very well! ”

At the same time, Liu Yunwei was summoning Cheng Shiyong in the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this time, Cheng Shiyong sat on the chair with a tired face and said important information to Liu Yunwei.

"Supervisor Qiyu, my subordinates have been leading people to investigate the enemy on the east bank of the Liao River in recent days, and just the night before yesterday, my subordinates found that the Qing army on the east bank began to assemble secretly, and it seems that they are preparing for a large-scale march!"

Liu Yunwei was secretly taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "Is there anything else going on?" ”

"Yes!" Cheng Shiyong said: "My subordinates took their brothers to capture a soldier of the Han army banner, and asked for a message from his mouth: Li Dingguo and other generals have led the army to land successfully, and they are leading the army to besiege the Fuzhou Acropolis. ”

"What!" Liu Yunwei couldn't help frowning and said, "It's been so long, Li Dingguo and they haven't laid down the Fuzhou Acropolis yet?" It seems that Ben Du still overestimates the combat power of the army of thieves! ”

Cheng Shiyong also frowned and said: "Supervisor, most of the Qing army's actions this time are to send troops south, and when the time comes, if General Li Dingguo and they can't capture the Fuzhou Acropolis, then they can't be the opponent of the Qing army's iron cavalry in the wilderness!" ”

"However, now that hundreds of thousands of Qing troops are strictly defending on the other side, it is impossible for our Hanwei army to break through the Qing army's defense line in a short period of time, and they can only rely on Li Dingguo and themselves in a short time!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yunwei suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "You found a few camps gathering soldiers and horses on the side of the Qing army?" ”

"Many, at least a dozen camps are gathering soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses of the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han Army Eight Banners and the Korean Eight Banners are all ......"

Speaking of this, Cheng Shiyong also reacted suddenly, and exclaimed: "The Qing army is going south!" ”

Liu Yunwei said with a pale face: "Huang Taiji is ruthless enough!" He's going to cut off our army's arm first! ”

"Overseer! Let's cross the river and storm it now! Now the Qing army on the other side must not have many troops, and it is a good time for our army to attack! ”
