Chapter 831: Interlocking

(Thank you Nanying Yu for voting for your valuable evaluation vote, Xie Lu thanks.) )

Huang Taiji has arrived in Quang Ninh.

When the Ming army set out from Dalinghe City, Huang Taiji had already driven his own expedition and led many generals to Guangning, and Dolgon, who was stationed in Guangning, took 100,000 troops and stationed in Xiping Fort, waiting for the best time to kill directly to Dalinghe City.

In order to be able to completely annihilate the invading Ming army, Huang Taiji used all the troops around Shenyang, and even the troops waiting in Liaoyang, Haizhou and Gaizhou and other places were transferred to form an army of 200,000, and the army concentrated around Guangning at the moment was close to 100,000 people.

According to the advance deployment, Huang Taiji took the initiative to give up Montenegro, Yizhou and other places, this move is also a great risk, if the opponent is Su Tiancheng, Huang Taiji will never do this, give up Montenegro, Yizhou and other places, to prevent the Ming army from using another move, that is, no longer continue to attack, stationed on the spot, stabilize the defense line, and take measures to attack slowly.

But Huang Taiji's opponent is Chen Xinjia, and Fan Wencheng's accurate analysis has given Huang Taiji great confidence.

Pretending to be a scout of the common people, active in Montenegro and Yizhou, the intelligence of the Guanningjin defense line is still being sent in a steady stream, but after the expedition began, most of the information is about the 100,000 Ming army led by Chen Xinjia.

Fan Wencheng is still the minister that Huang Taiji relies on the most, and in this regard, the Manchu magnates also recognize, Dolgon, Hauge, Duoduo, Zilharang and others all think that Fan Wencheng is indeed extraordinary, even if it is Azig who has no much interest in Fan Wencheng. I don't dare to casually belittle Fan Wencheng, but Fan Wencheng has used ironclad facts to explain that accurate analysis and precise thinking play a decisive role in the conquest of the army.

Haoge, Azig and the others entered the house and saw Huang Taiji discussing something with Fan Wencheng. On the sand table in the middle of the room, there are flags of all colors.

After everyone came in, Huang Taiji nodded, indicating that he knew the way.

A few minutes later, Huang Taiji looked at the sand table and spoke.

"There are two thousand soldiers stationed in the city of Montenegro, and it is estimated how long they can wait, Haug, Azig. Talk about it. ”

Hauge spoke first.

"Erchen expects to be able to wait for half a day."

Huang Taiji looked at Azig, although he was really a little annoyed with Azig, but Azig on the battlefield was still very brave.

Azig opened his mouth to speak, which really annoyed Huang Taiji even more.

"The younger brother expects that he can hold on for at least two days or more, and the city of Montenegro will be strong. The Ming army did not have much combat power and wanted to break through the city of Montenegro. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. ”

Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and sighed, if these brothers and nephews around him could be like Fan Wencheng, after seeing things, they would analyze it carefully. How good it would be to come up with a convincing opinion, judging from the current situation, Daishan and Dorgon have such potential, Daishan is old. You don't have to think about it, Dolgon is in the prime of life, and he has become the middle of the Qing Dynasty, so he doesn't have such a performance for his own son.

"Okay, let's listen to Wen Cheng's analysis."

Everyone's eyes looked at Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng twisted his goatee and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, the minion's prediction is similar to Prince Su's analysis, but the minion's prediction is shorter, no more than two hours, and the Ming army can take the Black Mountain City."

Hauge and Azig both widened their eyes, to be honest, Hauge expected half a day, they were very conservative, his understanding in his bones was similar to that of Azig, with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, if he wanted to easily take the city of Montenegro, I am afraid it would not be so simple, who knew that Lu Dao Fan Wencheng said that it would only take more than an hour.

"The slave said so, there are three reasons, the first reason, the Ming army's artillery is sharp, the soldiers stationed in the city, it is difficult to resist the artillery attack of the Ming army, the second reason, the Ming army's first battle, must be to do their best, there will be no slightest reservation, take the city of Montenegro, for the Ming army, is a huge encouragement, can maximize the morale, stabilize the morale of the army, the third reason, the sergeants who guard the city of Montenegro, most of them belong to the old and frail, or the logistics troops in the Han Eight Banners, when it was decided to lure the enemy into the plan, the solid mountain of the Han Eight Banners will never be taken out to wait in the Black Mountain City with elites, which also shows that the soldiers who are waiting for the Black Mountain City do not have much fighting spirit. ”

"From these three aspects, the sergeants stationed in the city of Montenegro are difficult to support for two hours, once the Ming army launches an attack, the combination of sharp artillery and the determination not to be afraid of death, facing the unmotivated defenders of the city, it is already very good to be able to hold on for more than an hour."

After Fan Wencheng analyzed, Huang Taiji nodded frequently.

Haoge and Azig and others are obviously a little unconvinced, even if the people who are waiting for the city of Montenegro are old and weak, but the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners are the elite troops of the Qing Dynasty, the emaciated camels are bigger than the horses, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army can be so strong, besides, the Ming army of Houjin in this expedition has no Jiangning battalion or Yulin battalion, and the combat effectiveness cannot be strong.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Huang Taiji sighed again, Fan Wencheng's analysis is reasonable, this is also the goal that needs to be achieved in the deployment of the campaign, but Haoge just can't understand that any battle is responsible for the entire campaign, and the planning of every battle is for the final victory.

"Wen Cheng's analysis is reasonable, I also see it this way, we can't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, you must remember that we are using the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, if we can't let the Ming army win in the early stage, we can't pay some price, how can we get the victory later, and how can we annihilate the Ming army that came to attack."

Huang Taiji didn't expect that as soon as he finished saying this, Azig followed and spoke.

"Your Majesty, what is 100,000 Ming troops, my brother thinks that even if he sticks to the city of Montenegro, as long as he gives his brother 50,000 people, his brother can also annihilate 100,000 Ming troops."

Huang Taiji's face turned pale with anger, and he was thinking about losing his temper, when Fan Wencheng on the side spoke.

"What the king of Yingwu said may be good, from the field aspect, the Ming army is not the opponent of the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, but there is a situation, the king of the county should not forget, that is, Montenegro is only a hundred miles away from Dalinghe City, within this distance, if it encounters wind and grass, the Ming army can completely withdraw to Dalinghe City, so the plan to annihilate the Ming army will inevitably be frustrated."

Azig didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Huang Taiji, but it was different in the face of Fan Wencheng, and as soon as Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Azig spoke again.

"Master Fan said this, then let me ask you, if the Ming army occupies the city of Montenegro and leaves a heavy army commander, what should we do, and then occupy Yizhou and leave a heavy army commander again, do we still have to attack the city?"

The expression on Fan Wencheng's face did not change in the slightest, obviously confident.

"This is exactly in line with the emperor's wishes, the 100,000 Ming army led by Chen Xinjia has a large number of people, and it is too difficult to think of annihilating them all in one breath, Chen Xinjia took the city of Montenegro, at least 10,000 people were stationed in it, or even 20,000 people, after taking Yizhou, the city of Yizhou is not small, at least 20,000 people are needed to garrison, plus the casualties caused in the process of attacking the city, that is to say, the Ming army that can attack Guangning will not exceed 70,000 people. At least 20,000 people, in this way, the maximum number of people participating in the attack is 50,000, 100,000 against 50,000, our Great Qing Kingdom occupies an absolute advantage, once the main force of the Ming army's attack is destroyed, the victory will be captured. ”

"In addition, the Ming army stationed in Yizhou and Montenegro also has no chance to escape, the 100,000 army led by Prince Rui, while besieging Dalinghe City, blocked the route of the Ming army's retreat, in this case, the Ming army's battle line is very long, and it is impossible to take care of it at all, and it is a matter of time before it is exterminated."

"The Ming army guarding the Guanningjin defense line focuses on ensuring the safety of Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City, Ningyuan City and Shanhaiguan, and will never dare to let go of the attack, the choice of the Ming army is to stick to the city, so that it will be conducive to the defeat of our Qing warriors."

"Montenegro and Yizhou are the territory of my Great Qing Kingdom, the Ming army in these places, without any advantages and foundations, without any support, the emperor has already made a deployment, the Ming army in Montenegro and Yizhou, can not get a grain and grass, in this case, the Ming army has always been in a passive situation."

"Based on the analysis of the above situation, it is expected that our Qing warriors will completely annihilate the Ming army."

Fan Wencheng's analysis is reasonable and well-founded, but Hauge is still not convinced.

"What if Chen Xinjia sticks to Montenegro."

A smile appeared on Fan Wencheng's face.

"The slave has already analyzed, Chen Xinjia is so happy, he was given a heavy task by Chongzhen, leading an army of 100,000 to go on the expedition, how can he be satisfied with occupying the city of Montenegro, if this is the case, Chen Xinjia does not have to mobilize the army, and it is a great move to lead 50,000 soldiers to the battle."

Haoge's attitude is much better, although Fan Wencheng's analysis was also said when he was in Chongzheng Palace, but what he said today is more clear and indeed credible.

So after Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Haoge spoke.

"Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that Lord Fan's analysis is reasonable."

Hauge and Azig call Fan Wencheng Fan Wencheng at the same time, which is actually a change, when the Manchu nobles call Han people, no matter what the identity of the other party is, they have always called him by his name.

Before Azig could speak again, Aobai, who was in charge of reporting the military situation, had already entered.

"Your Majesty, Montenegro fell, and the Ming army took the city of Montenegro in an hour and a half."

Azig, who was dumbfounded, looked at Fan Wencheng and was speechless. (To be continued......)
