Chapter 122: Ammunition is running out
Bang!
Huang Taiji, who touched the back of his head, slapped the table for the first time in front of the four major Baylors, and angrily scolded Abatai and the others who were kneeling on the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, more than 10,000 Praetorian Guards and tens of thousands of cavalry attacked in turn, but they still couldn't be defeated, but instead made their side be defeated several times.
This was the first defeat that Huang Taiji had experienced since Ning Yuan, and it was also the first time he had suffered a loss since he became a Khan.
He was very depressed, and he also regretted that he shouldn't have instinctively thought that he could repeat the siege of Tumubao because Zhu Youxiao left the capital.
However, he found that he was not the first, and the younger and more calm Zhu Youxiao was not the Ming Yingzong who had not been involved in the world back then.
Huang Taiji still can't help but feel apprehensive when he thinks of Zhu Youxiao, who he saw through his eyes during the day.
This is the first time he can remember that he is not confident, he doesn't understand, why he is so suspicious of a guy who is so young but grows in the inner court, is it because he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, just because he abandoned the Donglin Party soon after he ascended the throne, quickly took control of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, confiscated a series of decisive measures such as the Eight Great Jin Merchants and escaped the control of hundreds of officials at a young age?
"You can't even grab a firecracker, and you have damaged more than 300 armored people, you, you are really good."
Huang Taiji angrily scolded Abatai and Duoduo, the two did not dare to speak up, but they were aggrieved in their hearts, how could they have thought that there was such a fierce and strict military discipline of the Ming army in this world, and they would even rather break the flintlock pistol with their heads than be taken away by their own people.
"Drag it down and beat the thirty boards!"
Huang Taiji waved his hand and didn't want to talk to them anymore, and sat down in his chair and sighed.
It was also the first time he had met such a Ming army that was not afraid of death or stealing life and had strict military discipline and strong combat effectiveness, and it was also a Ming army that had never experienced the battlefield before.
"Mr. Fan, you are well-informed, you can know what the Ming army's position is, what is the way to deal with it, today's battle, we are defeated here for a large reason, the Ming army is based on trenches, and staggered configuration, as long as we enter his 100-step range is like a pocket, no matter where we rush, we will be netted."
Seeing Huang Taiji ask like this, Fan Wencheng, who is accustomed to showing off strategy, couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his forehead: "It must be a lost ambush on all sides, this array is like a sky net, this Zhu Youxiao is not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do this, but where there is an array, there must be flaws." ā
Huang Taiji was a little dizzy in his heart, since this Fan Wencheng knew the flaws, why didn't he say it earlier, he lost a lot of Houjin cavalry in vain.
"Oh, Mr. Fan knows what to do with this."
"Your Majesty can send heavy troops to attack at night, so that although Zhu Youxiao has ten nets, he has no eyes for nets."
Fan Wencheng was not stupid, seeing that Huang Taiji had to get to the bottom of his fabrication, he thought of a way to perfunctory.
Huang Taiji couldn't help but laugh dumbly after hearing this, this Fan Wencheng has some indiscriminate conspiracies and tricks, this kind of military level, this guy can only blow blindly, even if he says something, he can only guess it.
In this way, Huang Taiji couldn't help but think of Ning Wanme, who was killed by Zhu Youxiao, and couldn't help but sigh, and his hatred for Zhu Youxiao was also deeper.
At this time, Dole rolled over: "Great Khan, our casualties have been checked clearly, the losses of the Eight Banners armored soldiers have reached more than 630 people, more than 1,800 unarmored soldiers, more than 3,000 Han and Mongolian cavalry, and more than 500 other clothed enslavers, and only more than 1,000 people remained. ā
Huang Taiji couldn't help but hold his forehead, like the Baylors who had no way to vent their anger in addition to being angry, he didn't expect to lose so many people because he wanted to capture a Zhu Youxiao alive.
"Fan Wencheng, you immediately go to Liaodong and secretly contact other Guanning generals, if you can counter the water, it will be good, but you can't counter the water, but you must provide convenience for exiting the customs."
Huang Taiji said and said to Sakhalian: "In the middle of the night, you will secretly infiltrate the enemy camp with another thousand white-armored soldiers to disrupt its deployment, it is best to capture Zhu Youxiao to Ben Khan, if you can't catch it, you have to grab a gun." ā
Although Huang Taiji is now extremely resentful of Zhu Youxiao, he also has to prepare to go out, after all, he now also knows that the Ming army of King Qin in various places is only afraid that it is not far from here.
But Huang Taiji, who was difficult to ride a tiger, must launch a final attack on Zhu Youxiao in the next day or two, and he must do his best to defeat Zhu Youxiao.
Moreover, he believes that Zhu Youxiao is only afraid that he is as worried as himself.
ā¦ā¦
"Yuheng (Qin Botong character Yuheng), how long can our ammunition, grain, and fresh water last?" Zhu Youxiao was lying on the soft couch in the dragon chariot, although his eyes were closed, he couldn't sleep, and even called Qin Botong, the commander of the baggage battalion, to inquire.
"The last general is about to tell Your Majesty that due to a heavy rain, there is not much ammunition and food left that can be used, and now it can barely last for one or two days."
Qin Botong replied in a low voice, going out to fight, especially the requirements for logistics support in the military, which are mainly firearms, are more important, Qin Botong has naturally learned this from the class of officer and cadet training, but only now he realizes the importance of this, and this is the responsibility of him, the commander of the baggage battalion, so Qin Botong is also a little guilty now.
Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, just nodded, and ordered someone to call Tang Fusheng in: "How is the progress of the division of King Qin in various places?" ā
Tang Fusheng replied: "There is no latest news yet, but the order given to them by Lu Shilang must arrive before the day after tomorrow at the latest, and they will be killed one moment later!" ā
Zhu Youxiao nodded after hearing this, didn't say anything, and said to Qin Botong after a long time: "No matter what, you must make sure that everything is okay tonight, whether I can sleep well or not depends on you General Qin." ā
"Your Majesty let it go, if the Tartar dares to disturb your dreams, the last general will let him have no return!"
After Qin Botong said that, he withdrew from Longlin, and immediately sent troops to chop firewood and light bonfires everywhere, and set up hidden piles on the roads that must be passed everywhere, and at the same time, he also dug a trap pit.
As soon as Sakhalian's white-armored soldiers entered the defense area, they encountered all kinds of traps, and lost more than 100 people in less than half an hour.
Sakhalian didn't dare to dwell too much on it, and hurriedly retreated.
Huang Taiji didn't intend to capture Zhu Youxiao alive by relying on a night attack, after all, as long as Zhu Youxiao was not a fool, he would guess this, but the reason why he still did this was only one reason, he still couldn't believe that he was meeting an opponent who could not be taken lightly, and he still had a fluke mentality.
But seeing that Sakhalian had returned in vain, he had no choice but to reprimand him angrily.
