741 How can this battle be fought?
"Well, that's expected!" When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he replied with a sigh of relief.
Hai Lanzhu saw it, and after a moment of silence, he said faintly: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has such a sharp weapon, in fact...... Actually, it's almost the same with or without me! ”
Originally, she thought that she would play a big role in this Gaizhou offensive and defensive battle, after all, she could inform Emperor Chongzhen of the news in time, and the impact on the war could be imagined. But who knew that the Ming army had such a big killing weapon, and it would be easy to hold Gaizhou, and it didn't matter if she had news or not.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard her words, he immediately understood Hai Lanzhu's mood at this time, and after thinking about it for a while, he replied to her: "How is it possible, your role is very great!" ”
"Hehe, don't comfort me!" Hai Lanzhu said with a wry smile in her heart.
Emperor Chongzhen was a little helpless when he saw it, so he had to explain to her: "Do you know how much silver was spent on this battle just now?" This war is all about money! Although I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I am still poor! So this kind of defense doesn't come back a few times......"
Hearing him tell her this, Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. Just imagine, if it weren't for the good relationship, or if Emperor Chongzhen had himself in his heart, how could he cry to himself? Even if you really don't have money and have real difficulties, you will hide this, right?
Thinking of this, her mood suddenly improved. In fact, the Ming Emperor's lack of money is basically known to everyone, otherwise, what happened to the Ming army in the past is fake!
Hai Lanzhu actually didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen didn't tell her the truth just now, like the way he defended the city just now, he used up so many gunpowder weapons at once, and this kind of defense is not impossible to come a few times, but only has the ability to do so once!
It is precisely because of this that he has been showing weakness to the enemy before, fighting for the increase in casualties on the city, and pretending to be captured by Jianyu soon, attracting as many troops as possible to gather under the city before using this trick. However, judging from the actual effect, the expected effect has indeed been achieved, and the money has not been spent in vain!
Hai Lanzhu was still thinking about it while hurriedly comforting Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will continue to listen to the news and inform you in time!" ”
"Good!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately responded, "The ultimate purpose of my initiation of this Gaizhou war is not to occupy Gaizhou, but to consume as much strength as possible. Therefore, the war in Gaizhou is actually not just fought in Gaizhou, don't I have a chat group? Therefore, we have to let the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army move together, in order to live up to the chat group, to consume and attack the strength of Jianyu to the greatest extent, to recover Liaodong as soon as possible, and to restore peace in the world, isn't it? ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Hai Lanzhu listened to it and couldn't help but praise.
After she withdrew from the chat group, her mood was obviously much better, she looked at Bu He and asked, "Eqige, what will Jianyu do next?" ”
Buhe felt the change in his daughter's mood, and immediately guessed that she might have gone to talk to the Emperor of Mingguo, although he didn't know what he said, but looking at his daughter's emotions, it should be a good thing, so he didn't ask, but looked in the direction of Huang Taiji, and said with some worry: "I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I'm going to tear my face completely! ”
As he expected, Huang Taiji's face was unusually ugly at this time. He pinned his hopes on going down to build the city of Zhouzhou with one drum, but he didn't expect that he was so well prepared, seeing that victory was in sight, and suddenly, he suffered such heavy losses! It's not that such casualties can't be beared, but this defeat has too much impact!
For a moment, he was a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to do next! This is the first time in his career that such a situation has occurred!
Seeing that Huang Taiji was in a daze and did not give further orders, Dai Shan turned his head to look at the crowd of people who retreated from Gaizhou City, and sighed in his heart, and at the same time he was also very worried, what should Daqing do next?
At the same time, he had another worry, because he knew that if he hadn't suggested an all-out attack, maybe the loss would not have been so great, and in the final analysis, he would have been responsible for such a big defeat. I just don't know, will Huang Taiji settle this account with him?
Fan Wencheng on the side came back to his senses at this time, before he really thought that the city was about to be destroyed, so he said to Huang Taiji that he could go to the city for the night tonight. I really didn't expect that the situation would change so quickly!
At this time, after tasting the embarrassment of being slapped in the face a little, his brain immediately moved and he began to think about what was next. He knew that Huang Taiji needed his "military advisor" to come up with ideas.
Yue Tuo hurried back to Huang Taiji and said loudly, only to call back the people here: "Your Majesty, our army has lost nearly 2,000 people, and the losses of the Mongolian tribes are probably more than 7,000 people!" ”
These are all really gone, the besieging army has a total of about 30,000 people, and the loss this time is nearly one-third, how can this battle be fought? Do you want to fight? It all needs Huang Taiji to make decisions!
Huang Taiji had long known that the losses were heavy, but when he heard Yue Tuo's advice at this time, it was still a little unexpected. There was no blood on his fat face, and his small eyes scanned the retreating soldiers, knowing in his heart that the morale must have a very big impact, and it was impossible to organize a siege immediately. So, he had no choice but to order: "Go back to the camp and rest!" ”
"Your Majesty, be careful of those Mongols!" When Fan Wencheng heard it, he hurriedly said something, showing his existence.
Huang Taiji listened, turned back to look at the Mongols, nodded slightly, and instructed Dai Shan: "After returning to the camp, immediately control all the leaders of the Mongolian tribes!" ”
After saying that, he didn't stay any longer, and immediately turned his horse's head and left quickly, as if he couldn't see this embarrassing situation, and his troubles would be gone.
At the head of Gaizhou City, Cao Bianjiao had just finished listening to the advice of his generals, and turned his head to Gao Yingyuan and instructed: "In this battle, our army killed 36 people, rewarded 35 people, and lightly wounded 142 people. Nearly 10,000 enemies were killed, of which about 2,000 Jurchens, and the rest were Han troops and Mongols. ”
If it weren't for the lure of the enemy deep and the enemy as much as possible under the city, there wouldn't have been so many casualties. But the results of this battle are so huge, this kind of battle loss between the two sides, no matter how you compare it in that historical period, can be said to be a big victory! If the emperor hadn't analyzed it in advance, Cao Bianjiao would have thought that Jianyu would have suffered heavy losses and would definitely withdraw his troops!
After Emperor Chongzhen got this result, he immediately informed Lu Xiangsheng of the Dongjiang Army through the chat group, and also returned Cao Wenzhao of the Ning Cavalry Army. With the announcement of the commanders of the two sides, the morale of these two armies suddenly soared!
