Chapter 783: Jiannu wants to run

Hauge summoned the Eight Banners generals to discuss the matter, and several uncles and a group of cousins, including Azig and Zilharang, expressed their opinions.

The traitors have taken the initiative to step aside, because the Manchu masters think that the traitors are unreliable, and they don't expect the Han army and the Goryeo army to play with the Northern Expedition coalition army on the battlefield.

Jiannu clearly realized that there were not many opportunities, and they had to make a decision as soon as possible, and the Northern Expedition Coalition Army was not encircling any city at all, but only creating a no-man's land outside the city.

From time to time, the Mongols also appeared in small groups under the city, and they pretended to be loose to lure Jiannu out of the city, so that the surrounding cavalry would surround and cut off the heads in exchange for rewards.

High-ranking generals such as Hauge and Azig realized that the general trend had gone, and it was completely impossible to turn the tables, and without the "God of War" cavalry, they would not dare to conclude that they could win against the Mongol Qing army alone.

If the Qing army did not take advantage of this time to concentrate its forces to break through the siege, it would be too late for the Northern Expedition to begin to clear the city.

The Manchu military aristocracy was not stupid, they knew that they were not good at defending the city, rather than hiding in the city and being broken by the "killing gods", it was better to concentrate on the children of the Eight Banners to assault a little.

I can't guarantee that there is the blessing of the old Khan in the dark, and Haoge's grandson can also do it No matter how many ways the Ming army comes, my Eight Banners warriors will only go all the way.

At this meeting, the Jiannu generals all realized the seriousness of the problem, their desire to break out of the encirclement was highly consistent, and no one cheated and cheated when life and death were at stake, and Haoge's decision to concentrate all the Eight Banners cavalry to choose a direction to focus on breaking through was widely recognized.

Hauge has been established as the crown prince for ten years, and he already has a certain number of supporters, and this prince can take the lead in fighting when he is skilled in battle, and he is quite loved by the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

The people who came to discuss the matter were all military aristocrats of the Great Qing Dynasty, and Haoge did not hide it, and took the initiative to break the dullness and said: "Generals, when I have reached the time of life and death in the Qing Dynasty, it is no longer possible to expect to bow down to the 'God of Killing' and be a corner of peace, and now I am trapped in Liaodong by the 'God of Killing', and the next fate should be clear to you, right?" ”

The slave owners exchanged their heads and ears, and Azig said: "The emperor has appointed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be in charge of the military affairs of Liaodong, and we will listen to His Highness what we do at the moment." ”

Hauge said: "My Qing army is not good at defending the city, but the once invincible cavalry field battle is not cheap in front of the 'killing god', and now the cavalry is at a disadvantage compared to the strength of the cavalry." ”

Zierharang sighed heavily and said: "Your Highness, it's not that my Qing cavalry doesn't dare to fight, but that the Mongolian slave soldiers are too bad, and these minions are like crazy after following the 'God of Killing', and the children of my Eight Banners are not dying." ”

The Manchu nobles whispered again, and most of them were scolding the Mongolian minions for being faceless and skinless, knowing that the Mongol minions should have been killed in the first place.

Hauge pressed down his hand and said: "Everyone is quiet, now it is meaningless to complain that you have forgiven the Mongols before, and now it is a discussion to preserve the children of the Eight Banners as much as possible." It's not advisable to sit back and wait, do you have a good plan? ”

Zilharang said: "Your Highness, where can there be a good plan now, you can only go through thirty-six strategies." ”

Azig echoed: "That's true, you can only choose to run away to stay in Qingshan." ”

The military aristocracy of Rembu, Babuhai, Mandahai, Kabula, etc., all descendants of wild boar skins and uncles or cousins of Hauge, also echoed Zilharang's escapism.

The tone of the escape is set, and the next step is to be discussed. Obviously, it is not advisable to put down the pots and jars at home, and I am afraid that I will not be able to run far, or fast with the old and young and women.

Nowadays, all Liaodong is full of Mongolian light cavalry, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners is more equestrian than the Mongols.

Haoge was decisive in his work, he gritted his teeth and said: "Start with me, give up the city and family of Liaodong, and only lead the Eight Banners cavalry to break through, as long as my Eight Banners soldiers escape, there will always be women and property." ”

Without a wife and children, only leading the cavalry to break through has a high success rate, but what will be the fate of the wife and children? The Manchu military aristocracy was in another uproar, and in the end no one objected to Hauge's proposal, and everyone gritted their teeth and agreed.

A consensus was formed to concentrate on the elite cavalry to break through, and the next step was to discuss the direction of attack and the place to escape.

Azig did not let his brothers, sons and nephews analyze the situation, and he said eloquently: "Our Qing army is currently distributed in more than a dozen cities such as Shengjing, Guangning, Fuzhou, Haizhou, and Fushun. The cavalry that can be used intensively should be between forty and fifty thousand, which can guarantee one man and two horses.

The king believed that there was Jinzhou Jiancheng to the west, and there was no way to go by the sea to the south, and the ideal direction of attack was to cross the Yalu River to the east and join forces with the "Xinjing" side, so that food and supplies could be obtained. ”

Zilharang put forward a different view, he said: "This king thinks that the Northern Expedition coalition army is not stupid, and he knows that the primary purpose of the Qing army is to open up the Yalu River, and he must have been waiting for the net.

Moreover, to the east there are high mountains and large rivers to keep them in the way. There is also the Great Wall of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty as an obstacle, if the Qing army concentrated the cavalry in the high mountains and dense forests, wouldn't it be self-defeating. ”

In the main hall, the Manchu generals who came to discuss the matter were surprisingly quiet, and they were all listening carefully to the analysis of Azig and Zilharang, weighing the benefits and disadvantages in their hearts.

Although most of the generals of the Eight Banners are illiterate, they all live on horseback since they were young, and at the age of eleven or twelve, they followed their parents to rob their homes and houses, and it is already their instinct to fight.

Obviously, there is only one direction left to go, that is, to break through to the north, and strive to tear apart the encirclement and escape to the desert north, as long as you come to the vast prairie, although there are hundreds of thousands of coalition troops in the Northern Expedition, it is only a drop in the ocean.

Jiannu didn't know that he couldn't survive if he went to the prairie, because the tribes of the prairie had been abused by the Northern Expedition coalition army, and now no one dared to take Jiannu in, and they were all waiting for the opportunity to cut the money rat tail for ten stones of rice.

Hauge and the other generals believed that it was very likely that they would successfully break out of the encirclement by using a concentrated cavalry attack, after all, the cavalry of the Northern Expedition needed to be arranged in all directions, and the focus should also be on guarding against the line of the Yalu River.

When the Qing army attacked north, it should not be greater than the number of Qing troops, and in the case of no superiority in troops, the Qing army did not seek to defeat the opponent and only wanted to fight a bloody way to the prairie.

Azig listened carefully to Zilharang's different opinions, and thought that his words were reasonable: "Prince Zheng is really my wise general of the Qing Dynasty, and it is indeed not suitable for cavalry to cross the Yalu River to the east and cross the mountains and forests to the east. Our army should make use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses and choose to break through to the north. ”
