Chapter 181: A Strange Battle Situation
said that it was a battle to destroy the country, but in fact, for Hu Zongxian, it was also a battle to break the city. It's just that the city in front of me is a bit big and has a special status.
After the 60,000 troops of the Jiang family army drove to Shengjing City, they did not spread out the generals and horses to surround Shengjing, but concentrated all the 60,000 horses and horses outside the south gate of Shengjing and set up camp.
The 60,000 army was divided into three parts, Di Qing and Ran Wu each led about 20,000 troops, and Hu Zongxian's 20,000 Chinese troops guarded it.
If you look down from the sky, the three military villages are all neatly distributed with countless military tents, which seem to cover the sky and the sun, endless, and magnificent.
After the 60,000 army converged under Shengjing City, after setting up the camp, Hu Zongxian immediately summoned Di Qing and Ran Wu, and the three of them discussed in Hu Zongxian's Chinese army tent for an hour before dispersing.
On the second day, the Qing soldiers and defenders at the head of Shengjing City were densely packed, and they were all nervously waiting for the Jiang army under the city to attack.
Everyone felt that the Jiang army, which had come victoriously all the way, would definitely attack soon when the morale was high, so the Qing army in Shengjing City almost did not sleep all night, for fear that the Jiang army would launch a night attack.
It's a pity that from the rising of the sun to the three poles of the sun, and finally to the middle of the day, Jiang Jiajun still did not move at all.
Looking down from the city wall, the three Jiangjia army military villages outside the city were calm, only a group of rangers patrolling outside the camp rode by, and there was no sign of attacking the city.
The Qing army, which had been waiting for the battle, finally couldn't hold it back, and the morale and tense nerves that had been puffed up because the enemy soldiers were approaching the capital began to relax little by little.
Prince Zheng Jierharang and Prince Li Daishan, who personally climbed the southern wall to watch the battle, also looked at each other in the face of this strange situation.
However, they were also considered to have been in battle for a long time, and after deliberation, they agreed that this was the enemy's slackness of the army, and they wanted to use this method to make the defenders tired and slack, so that they suddenly began to attack the city when they were taken by surprise and took the defenders by surprise.
The views of the two princes were quickly agreed by many generals, which made Dai Shan, who had been a cold bench for several years, feel a long-lost sense of accomplishment, and smiled reservedly with his gray beard.
Although Dai Shan is not too ambitious, it does not mean that he is really not keen on power and status. A lot of things are just relative.
In the past, there was Huang Taiji pressing, but later when Huang Taiji died, he was replaced by Dolgon and Zilharang as assistants, holding great power. Everyone revolved around these two people, and he, the great prince of Belle, who had been naked and experienced a hundred battles with the former emperor Nurha, was forgotten like a spider web in the corner, which made Dai Shan's heart very lost and unwilling.
When Dolgon was not injured before, he also cut off the little thought in his heart, thinking that he would just spend his old age as a prince of peace, and any fame and fortune would go with the wind.
It's just that I didn't expect a general battle outside Guangning City, the 60,000-strong army was almost wiped out, Azig was killed, Dolgon was seriously injured, and most of the civil and military officials and nobles who followed Dolgon on the expedition became prisoners of the Jiang army.
This battle ruined the future of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and dealt a heavy blow to Dorgon's prestige. Coupled with Dolgon's serious injury and coma, Zilharang, who has always been cowardly and indecisive, couldn't carry this burden by himself, so he pulled Dai Shan out again to preside over the endgame with him.
This made the seed of power in Dai Shan's heart begin to sprout again.
Although he knew that he was facing a mess that couldn't be worse, the thrill of regaining power still made him feel like he was a few years younger.
And in terms of seniority, there is no one among the living who is as good as Dai Shan. Zilharang is actually Nurhachi's nephew, while Daishan is Nurhachi's eldest son, and this qualification is definitely the oldest.
As soon as he was in power, he carried out the order, and after Dai Shan re-came out of the mountain, he issued orders one after another, and even many orders were not discussed with Zilharang at all, and he made decisions alone.
Although Zilharang was unhappy, he had no choice but to cooperate.
After all, at this time, it is not much fun to fight again, and secondly, he does not have the mind and courage of Huang Taiji and Dolgon to fight with Dai Shan.
Therefore, Dai Shan suddenly became the core figure of the Manchu state.
"I heard it all and understood it in my heart. This is the enemy's trick on us, just to make us relax our vigilance, so as to take the opportunity to catch us off guard. Therefore, the strength in my heart cannot be relaxed, and I will continue to stretch it, lead your men well, and not give the enemy any chance. ”
Dai Shan, who was surrounded by a group of generals, spoke loudly while patrolling the city, with a reserved and smug look on his old face full of folds.
"Listen to it. Prince Li was right. ”
"What the prince said is right, these thieves are too hateful, playing with us, they are still seen through by the prince, and the slaves must be optimistic about the soldiers below."
"We all obey the prince, and we won't let those southern barbarians succeed."
Behind a bunch of generals coaxing attitudes, I don't know how sincere and perfunctory they are, in short, Dai Shan's old face bloomed like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Jierharang, who was next to Dai Shan, was also casually perfunctory, but his face was not very good-looking.
It's just that none of these people even proposed to send troops out of the city to attack the enemy on their own initiative, as if the generals of the Manchu state had suddenly become cautious after the battle outside Quang Ninh.
Under the supervision and scolding from above, the spirit of the defenders in the city who had just relaxed became tense again, and they watched the movements of the three large battalions of the Jiang family army under the city with wide eyes one by one.
Not only were the defenders of the southern city wall garrisoned by the Jiang family army on alert, but even the defenders in the other three directions also regained their spirits, looking nervously at the outside of the city with a pair of eyes, for fear that the powerful and incredible Jiang family army would suddenly emerge from in front of them.
But Rao is like this, but Dai Shan still did not send a person outside the city to reconnoitre.
The only thing they had to do now was to wait for the Jiang family army to take the initiative to attack the city, or in other words, wait for death.
However, for three days, the three camps of the Jiang army still did not move, and there was still no sign of attacking the city.
At this moment, the nerves of the Qing army in the city could no longer be tensed, and the mustered morale and vigilance began to drain again.
There are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves.
This day's anxiety is waiting for the other boot to fall, but people don't fall, this is not trying to make people nervous.
Faced with this situation, Dai Shan, who had just tasted the taste of returning to power, finally became anxious and hurriedly summoned the noble generals who were qualified to discuss the matter together.
