Chapter 0276: A Change in the Situation
Houjin's strength is very strong, but the population base is a hard flaw. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If it weren't for Lin Dan Khan's disapproval of the people of the grassland, there should be nothing to do with Huang Taiji, after conquering the grassland, the establishment of the Mongolian Eight Banners also accounted for half of their young and strong labor, and now the largest tribe in the grassland is only more than 10,000 troops, the small ones are only thousands, the forces are scattered, Mongolia has a lot of 10,000, they are very satisfied, they can't threaten Houjin, Huang Taiji is even more satisfied.
However, the consequence of this incident was that the combat effectiveness of the Mongol tribes was greatly reduced, and under the rapid attack of the Ningxia army, the territory of the original Ordos tribe had been fully recaptured, or only returned to the city, and the main combat force was 20,000 mixed soldiers of the Mongol-speaking Han Chinese, which was sufficient.
Lin Dan Khan drove them out of Mongolia, but soon after he was driven out by the Houjin, and the steppe was divided between the other tribes of the steppe, the Horqin tribe to be exact.
Horqin is extremely special in all the Mongolian tribes, when many tribes are young and strong, they still have nearly 30,000 troops, there is no doubt that they are already the most powerful existence in the inner grassland, they are located in the northwest and northeast border, Houjin is strong, and Huang Taiji's attitude towards them has been trying to win them over, so their relationship with Houjin has always been the most harmonious, Nurhachi period has a close relationship, and after marrying three daughters to Huang Taiji, the relationship has been very stable, At least on the surface.
After Da Yu'er and Hai Lanzhu disappeared, there was only one Zhezhe left in Huang Taiji's harem, so Korqin Zaisang remarried a daughter in the past to be relieved, thinking that he could sit back and relax from now on, but now he lost all the grasslands on the edge of Daming almost overnight, which made him feel very depressed.
Dai Shan's troops had just passed through him for less than two days, and Huang Taiji was surrounded, what was this?
Even so, he still didn't feel that there was anything to worry about, land was very important, that was in normal times, now the people who do their duty live the longest, the grassland is enough to feed their own people, anyway, the grassland in Chahar's territory is also like his own, but there are a small number of Houjin people, or people are the most important, or the most important is the young and strong.
Horqin has a population of more than 100,000, but the number of soldiers who can fight is 30,000 on the surface, but in fact there can be 50,000, but when a circle of people sneaked into the main city of the Ordos tribe, there was still no fierce resistance and the army withdrew, leaving the old and weak women and children who were originally there, and figured out who was coming, and then a letter was passed to Houjin, which was enough.
Houjin is in a mess now, and he doesn't mind adding a little more to them.
As soon as things developed like this, the northwest inner grassland bordering the Ming Dynasty easily fell into the hands of Ning Daguan, so these sniper soldiers could easily pass through a large grassland to intercept Daishan, but the city of the Ordos Department was immigrated by many Ming people and achieved initial ethnic integration, well, this is a term invented by Ning Daguan.
There are more than 30,000 Ningxia soldiers galloping on the grassland, and there are many Mongolians and Han people, and they are not treated differently.
............
Dai Shan still chose to flee, no, a strategic retreat.
When he saw a large number of cavalry coming from the opposite side, and then looked at the thousands of soldiers and horses who were fighting with tens of thousands of people, he felt that it was inappropriate to continue fighting, or that it was no fun, so he quickly ordered to separate the team that was sticking with the other party and wait for the other party to appear.
There were only five or six thousand people who came, naturally they were all cavalry, and they didn't look elite, which couldn't make him make up his mind to retreat, but the sound of horses' hooves came from all directions, so he compromised.
The number of the other party is already close to 30,000, which is Dai Shan's judgment, and the heavy armored cavalry is six or seven thousand.......
This unknown powerful force made him frightened, the arrows in the sky flew lightly, and then attacked towards his side, impenetrable, there were still many people falling between the resistance, Dai Shan didn't want to fight anymore, Houjin was most proud of the field, and now he couldn't even see the hope of victory with the opponent on the grassland, this force should not be inferior to the existence of Guanning Iron Cavalry.
Then even if you get to Datong, how many people are left?
He felt that he had done his best, and that it would be better to go back and confess Dorgon as Lord than he was now.
"Warriors, retreat first....... Dai Shan ordered in a calm voice.
What follows will be a pursuit, if you expect it to be good.
...............
When he woke up one morning, Huang Taiji found that the team had lost hundreds of people, and now the number of soldiers was only just over 60,000, and sighed, it should be time to sneak to the opposite side again, he couldn't let those Mongols and his Houjin warriors be so loyal to him, so this is also inevitable, from a few days ago to flee a few times, to a team, and now to hundreds of hundreds of places to escape?
It's just a matter of walking, why do you take the horses away?
This is the most humiliating battle in my history, and even the last battle.
After being surrounded for more than a month, he still wanted to continue to wait, but now it seems that he can't do it, and if he waits any longer, everyone will have to run out.
From time to time, watching the scene of the soldiers stroking their horses and then killing them with red eyes, he also felt uncomfortable, they were born on horseback, and the war horse was their friend, it was time to make a decision.
"Gather your troops and prepare for the siege."
............
It was not easy to get up from the three white and tender ketone bodies, and of course it was even more difficult for the three girls to get up.
kissed Kou Nuxia and Da Yu'er, and grabbed Li Jinshi with satisfaction, this little girl was busy all day long and couldn't find the north, so she could see her at night.
Ning Daguan got up and did exercises in the barracks by himself, the atmosphere of the barracks with 50,000 soldiers was getting more and more enthusiastic day by day, as time progressed, Huang Taiji was surrounded for more than a month and there was nothing to do, even if they were very afraid in their hearts, they should have disappeared by now.
Under the city wall is a group of their own prey, a head of five taels of silver, regardless of the size of the official position, and Huang Taiji... Six taels of silver, this is the reward scheme designated by Ning Zhiyuan, which made the soldiers can't help but laugh.
The reason why this is the case is that Ning Zhiyuan never treats these soldiers on the other side differently, just because he doesn't want them to do something inconsiderate for the sake of silver, but if he really slaughters a senior officer, it will not be such a silver thing.
There are now more than 200,000 arrows in Datong City, in addition to their own production and buying, which is also a matter of course, what does not need silver, Ningxia can not do it in vain, there has been no use before, but since yesterday the emperor Taiji soldiers came to the city, the prelude to the siege has begun.
......
Under the city of Datong, the soldiers under the city flocked forward, first four cannons bombarded, put in the arrows, and then show the knife after they climbed up, defending the city since ancient times is easier than attacking the city, and Huang Taiji is so used as cavalry as infantry, so the city wall is not threatened at all, and then the gold world is heavy.
There is really no way to attack the city, maybe Huang Taiji is also fighting to the death, but it seems meaningless.
"These stupid Mongols!!" Da Yu'er quietly appeared on the city wall, saw the situation clearly, and snorted.
"Why are you here?" Ning Zhiyuan approached with a smile, with his guards by his side, and the flying arrows couldn't shoot at his side.
"It's finally a war, come and see, I didn't expect these Mongols to die stupidly." Da Yu'er looked at Ning Zhiyuan and muttered.
"Sieges always cost deaths." Ning Daguan looked at a soldier who rushed up the city wall, and then was cut by the swarming blades, and his face was unrecognizable.
"But husband, you see that most of the dead are Mongols." Da Yu'er laughed, "These idiots. β
"Why is Yu'er laughing?" Ning Daguan was a little curious, and in his heart, if he was in the role of Da Yu'er, he would definitely not be happy.
"Because, Yu'er's husband is winning the battle......"
.........
After two hours of effort, the siege stopped, and this was the first time Ning Zhiyuan had seen the siege.
Only then did he truly understand that it was not a stone that could kill a group of people by rolling down a ladder, nor was it that an arrow hit a person and died, and that defending the city also required a spirit of twelve points, and it was necessary to prevent stray arrows.
"Mongolian brothers, listen, count how many Mongols died in the siege in the morning, and how many golden dogs died, Huang Taiji is deliberately killing you......."
"Your current number is more than that of Houjin Dog, why do you need to listen to Huang Taiji's words and send them to death, why don't you destroy them, even if you don't want to wait, put down your weapons and surrender to ensure that your lives are worry-free......"
β............β
ββββββ
"Retreat! Retreat ......" Huang Taiji, who was eating horse meat, quickly swallowed the food in his mouth forcibly, and stood up angrily, the sky was still blue, blue to red.
In the blood-colored air, Huang Taiji took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth were a little bitter.
I've lived most of my life, and I don't know how I died in the end.
Accompanied by the Mongolian soldiers with strange faces, the team retreated, Huang Taiji was really helpless, and explained a few words in righteous words, with little effect, this kind of disturbing military spirit was really unpleasant, and what the other party said was still the truth.
He put the Houjin and the Mongols together, and it seems that there is no difference, but the probability of the Houjin soldiers who have seen more of this kind of battle surviving on the battlefield is far more than that of the Mongols who have not had such a siege experience. You can't just let your Houjin soldiers attack the city, right?
The head is big, and Huang Taiji really doesn't know what to do.
.........
Outside the Guandong Liaodong, Dolgon is also out of the way.
He brought more than 100,000 people to attack the city, and the reason why he was able to do so was not because his control over Houjin had reached this level, but because his purpose was still good.
persecuted Da Ming and released his own king.
Dolgon sneered and looked at the noisy battlefield, if Huang Taiji was really released like that, then what face did he have to be this Houjin King?
This kind of massive attack is really desirable and reprimands Fang Xuan...... Ah, right.
The logistics supply of more than 100,000 people is really not an easy job, Dolgon is now gritting his teeth and holding on, and he didn't go to Mongolia to fight any autumn wind, he is not a stupid person, if the Mongolians are forced to be anxious at this time, the consequences are unimaginable, he also hopes that the Ming can compromise as soon as possible, and Dai Shan, presumably that group of Ming people can stop him, and the one who can surround Huang Taiji is definitely not a good person.
Does Dorgon have ideals? He didn't know, but he liked the feeling very much, and he was sure that he liked Da Yu'er very much.
"Besiege the city, surround Benbele, and let not a man or a horse run out." More than 100,000 people surrounded Jinzhou, and there were only 30,000 or 40,000 troops in Jinzhou City.
The end of Jinzhou? The end of Zu Dashou?
For such a force, Li Jun, who was hiding on the island, did not attack rashly, either because of Ning Zhiyuan's order, or because he felt that it was just a drop in the bucket if he attacked.
As soon as Jinzhou is lost, it can directly hit Shanhaiguan, how can Chongzhen not be in a hurry?
............
Yes, Chongzhen is indeed in a hurry.
The rumors in the capital are boiling, the people's hearts are unstable, Chongzhen has to be suppressed by force, and who dares to speak falsely, there is no forgiveness for killing, and the troubled times use heavy codes, has it come to the troubled times? Chongzhen looked very weak.
It's time for Wang Chengen to come back, I hope Ning Zhiyuan didn't teach me to be disappointed, it's ridiculous to say, I originally hoped that he would lose for a while, but now he has to win.
In the Forbidden City, Chongzhen saw Wang Chengen, this is his henchman eunuch, he was by his side when he was still a king, and at this moment his mouth was full of words that made Chongzhen happy, and he was also full of praise for Ning Zhiyuan.
"Your Majesty, the minions are really not so relieved, watching the Houjin people and horses fall under the city one by one, but my Ming soldiers and horses are unharmed, Lord Ning is really talented."
"Can you inquire about the kind of non-material that quickly condenses into a wall?" Chongzhen asked a little anxiously, he could imagine how helpful that kind of thing would be for the war in the future, so it was a clichΓ© in the letter to Wang Chengen before that.
"This, Lord Ning's explanation to the old slave is the same as that given to the saint, it was bought from a place called the World Dart Bureau." Wang Chengen half-bowed, he knew that the emperor didn't believe it, and he would inevitably dislike Ning Zhiyuan, he didn't want to do this, and explained, "The old slave saw the person who came to deliver the goods in Datong, but Lord Ning bought it with one hand of silver and one hand of goods. The old slave also told the steward, but ......."
"Just what?" Seeing Wang Chengen's embarrassed face, Chongzhen frowned and asked.
