Chapter 287: Reaction
Huang Taiji originally sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and deployed the army to surround the incoming Temur Department step by step, after all, the tens of thousands of troops of Huang Taiji in this large camp were simply like a sea compared to the hundreds of people and horses of Temur, no matter what kind of fire was ignited in the Temur Department, it could be extinguished without suspense and like a mountain and a sea.

Even if the camp is in chaos now, causing great losses to Huang Taiji, he still has preparations and arrangements, in fact, as early as the first moment of the explosion of the grain depot next to the camp, Huang Taiji has already expected that there will be an enemy attacking the camp, and the enemy is likely to adopt the strategy of "striking east and west". Therefore, he ordered most of his men to go to fight the fire, and the rest of the men and horses to guard the battalion, and even if the enemy who came to attack escaped, he would resolutely not pursue, but be ready to meet the main enemy force coming from other directions.
And the enemy's approach is exactly what Huang Taiji expected, before there was an unknown number of small groups of enemies to attack and harass and flee, and now the enemy's main force is coming from the opposite direction in vain to try to rob the camp, all of which are expected by Huang Taiji.
Since he was prepared, Huang Taiji was naturally not nervous, and clearly commanded the exciting guard army to surround and annihilate the Temur Department, and ordered most of the remaining troops to continue to fight fires and rescue tents, grain and grass and other valuable materials, after all, in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, the entire Dajin has no capital that can waste any materials, and from Huang Taiji's many years of experience in the army, the number of enemies attacking will not be too many, it is likely that there are only a few hundred, and there is no need for all the Dajin warriors to come forward to meet the enemy.
Huang Taiji, who commanded Ruoding, showed strong self-confidence, as if he was a natural king, and his entire body exuded the breath of a king everywhere. Dolgon, on the side, looked at his half-brother, who was also the main murderer involved in the murder of his own mother, calm and unfazed, and realized that he still had a long way to go. Dolgon admits that there is still a big gap between him and Huang Taiji, at least nowβin addition to his age and prestige, there is also a gap in his ability to command battles.
In this case, Dolgon had no choice but to bury his ambitions in the depths of his heart, showing a docile posture in front of Huang Taiji on the surface, but in fact he quietly paid attention to Huang Taiji's every move, and silently learned Huang Taiji's methods and strategies in his heart.
However, he soon discovered that his elder brother was not omniscient and omnipotent, because he found that from the direction that Huang Taiji had called "sound east and west", there was another shouting of killing, and this time the momentum was even greater, far from the so-called "bluff" of the small group of enemies before, and compared with the "main force of the enemy" that was fighting with his own side at this time.
Huang Taiji also lost his calm appearance just now, although judging from his expression, he still looked calm at this time, but he couldn't deceive Dorgon's eyes. Judging from Dorgon's long-term observation and experience of Huang Taiji, his elder brother was really surprised at this time, and it was obvious that Huang Taiji did not expect the current situation.
Soon new enemies rushed into their camp, and as they got closer, they heard the enemy's shouts of killing more clearly:
"General Zhenshuo of the Ming Dynasty, Hou Shilu, the chief military officer of the Xuanfu Mansion, is here, the slave chief Taiji surrendered early, and Rao Er will not die!"
"Kill! Capture Huang Taiji alive! β
"Those who capture Huang Taiji alive will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
"Hugh is going to run away from Huang Taiji!"
Listening to the shouting and killing sound getting closer and closer, Huang Taiji couldn't determine how many enemies came this time, the only thing that was certain was that Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu of the Ming Kingdom, didn't know when he hooked up with the Mongols of the Chahar Department, and made enemies with himself.
However, the Ming State sent troops to this point is exactly what Huang Taiji did not expect, after all, he sent troops to conquer Chahar Mongolia this time, because considering that the new emperor Chongzhen of the Ming State has not long been on the throne, and his position still needs to be stabilized, coupled with the serious party dispute between the Ming Dynasty and the central government, just dealing with Wei Zhongxian's party is enough for Chongzhen to be busy for a while.
But the result was greatly beyond Huang Taiji's expectations, he didn't expect the Ming Kingdom to raise swords at this time, and not only did not resist the city as usual, like hiding in a turtle's shell, but also sent the army to this grassland, as if he wanted to fight with himself head-on.
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji, who was originally just a little surprised, suddenly felt a panicked feeling welling up in his heart - since Chongzhen of the Ming Kingdom dared to send troops to take the initiative to attack, he must have premeditated and prepared for it, and the enemy must have a large number of people this time, after all, with the style of the Ming army generals who have always been as timid as a mouse, if there is no army of 180,000, they will definitely not dare to go to the grassland to fight with themselves.
In addition, a fire broke out in his own camp, and most of the generals were busy extinguishing the fire, and at this time, they were attacked by the Ming army, and the consequences must be unimaginable.
The current Huang Taiji suddenly felt a little regretful, he should not take food and materials too seriously, and let most of the soldiers go to fight fires instead of preparing for war, resulting in the situation that the enemy is attacking now, and he is overstretched with his own troops. But thinking about it the other way around, even if it is repeated, it will be difficult for Huang Taiji to give up the rescue camp and so many supplies. Sitting and watching the camp and warehouse catch fire and not save it, and concentrate on preparing for the enemy's attack, this requires a great price, after all, these military supplies are too important for them, Huang Taiji can not imagine how serious the consequences will be if the army runs out of food.
However, Huang Taiji finally calmed down, although he felt nervous in his heart, he still remained calm on the surface, only to see him sneer, and said to Dolgon and his officers, "Who is Hou Shilu?" Why haven't you heard of this Khan, it must be an incompetent person, you follow this Khan to break the enemy and take off this person's head! β
Of course, Huang Taiji said this to boost the morale of his subordinates, in fact, Hou Shilu's name was not unfamiliar to him and other Jiannu at all, after all, everyone was an old opponent. From the beginning of Wanli to the Apocalypse, Hou Shilu was stationed in Liaodong for many years, and there were often wars between him and Jiannu.
"Yes! Sweat! Dolgon and the rest of his men also understood that the cunning Ming army had played the trick of "striking the east and attacking the west" twice tonight, and now the Ming army that was killing their own camp was the real enemy tonight.
