Huang Taiji also wanted to know what he should do. Facing the attacks of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army every day, Huang Taiji was indeed in pain. Although it was his men who were directly attacked, it was also his men who suffered the casualties. However, among the whole army, the most pressure is still his emperor Taiji. Because, at this moment, Huang Taiji is not only burdened with the life and death of these tens of thousands of troops, but also the life and death of the entire Dajin Kingdom.

The once powerful and rising Dajin State has taken a sharp turn and gone downhill because of the failure of this southern strategy. Almost everything in the Dajin Kingdom comes from the Ming Kingdom. If they can't get benefits from the Ming Kingdom, on the contrary, "but they lose a large number of people and horses", then what awaits them must be the result of withering and then dying. The best outcome is where you came from. The most tragic end was the extinction of the kingdom.

With his heels, you can think that if his Emperor Taiji dies in the battle in Beizhili, or if the troops under his command suffer a devastating blow in Beizhili, the strength of Dajin Kingdom will definitely plummet. Although it is said that the Dajin Army has suffered a very heavy blow before, losing a lot of horses, "However, in the hands of Huang Taiji, there is still a little elite, which can allow the Dajin Kingdom to continue to support." If even the last bit of elite is lost, it will really be completely finished.

But what can Huang Taiji do? He couldn't do anything. From the perspective of military strategy, this is simply a dead end, and there is no solution. Unless, he ordered the troops to be lightly armed at once, and then quickly went north, regardless of the headlong crash out of the plug. As long as he continued to march like this, he would have to be disturbed endlessly by Zhang Zhun.

It is not a matter of human will. This is determined by the fundamental position of both sides. If you want to transfer the status of concubine him and Zhang Zhun, the strategy implemented is the same. He will also be like a mad dog, always following Zhang Zhun's side, waiting for an opportunity to bite Zhang Zhun.

In fact, packing light is not a simple thing either. Huang Taiji's light equipment is not like Zai Sangbu He, who only needs to abandon the stolen population and materials. It was not only the looted population and materials that affected Huang Taiji's march, but also a large number of other foot personnel, such as the northern natives who followed the Dajin army south, the Korean servant army, the Han army flag, and the red-clothed cannons.

Once you decide to be light, do you want the indigenous infantry from the north? Do you want a Korean servant army? Do you still want the Han military flag? Do you want a redcoat cannon? If he doesn't want them all, after he goes back, what else will Dajin Guo have?

What a pain! It's really painful!

Before Huang Taiji went south, he never thought that he would have such a result. Before going south, he felt that Beizhili was like a warehouse without a closed door, and he could grab a lot of good things by reaching in casually. But after actually entering the warehouse, they found that the warehouse was full of thorns, and as long as they moved slightly, the sharp thorns would stab them to the point that their heads were bleeding and their bodies were bruised.

For Zai Sambu He's decisive withdrawal to the north, Huang Taiji not only did not mean to blame, but felt that Zai Sambu He was still very decisive. Zaisangbu and at least the power of the tribe has been preserved, and there is still a chance to make a comeback. Mrs. Deposited Land, both people and land are lost. It is the most basic truth to save people and lose land, and to save both people and land. However, it is easier for others to do it, but if Huang Taiji wants to really do it himself, he is a little hesitant to bear his psychological burden, which is indeed too heavy.

Zilharang's eyes were also bloodshot. He couldn't even remember how many times this was attacked by the Tiger Ben cavalry. After they left Hejian Mansion, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army quietly appeared like phantoms. These maggots of tarsal bones are nailed to the body of the Dajin Army, and they can't be shaken off. The teeth of these tarsal maggots were still quite sharp, and the movements of the Dajin Army were large, and they also felt pain.

"Father Khan can't go on like this."

Hauge was a little unable to support it at first, and said helplessly.

It has been ten days since I came out of Hejian Mansion. Ten days later, they had just passed Xiongxian. According to this turtle, it will take at least 40 days to reach Gubeikou and officially get out of the plug. In other words, they would have to endure at least forty days of harassment by the cavalry of the Tiger Army. It was a hell of a day.

During these ten days, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army attacked and harassed day and night, causing great losses to the Dajin Army. In the face of the elusive Tiger Army cavalry, the passively defended Dajin Army is indeed very aggrieved. Although every Dajin army is crazy and angry, there is no way to fight back? The bows and arrows of the Dajin Army are not powerful enough for the muskets of the Tiger Army.

Before he had a chance to get into the range of the bow and arrow, he was already knocked down by the opponent's shot.

Want to sleep? I'm sorry, whether it's the first half of the night or the second half of the night, there will be dedicated cavalry cavalry cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army to come to greet you. The most terrible thing is that the cavalry of the Dajin Army did not dare to drink water indiscriminately because the cavalry of the Tiger Army did not know what poison was put into the water source along the way. It was the Tiger Army cavalry that did not really poison it for the safety of the hostages.

Under the blows of the cavalry of the Tiger Army, the losses of the sentry cavalry of the Dajin Army were very large. In Hauge's ears, gunshots rang out almost every moment. If there is a gunshot, it means that the cavalry of the Tiger Army and the cavalry of the Dajin Army are fighting. The cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army relied on the strength of the muskets, and often caused great damage to the cavalry of the Dajin Army, especially the sentry cavalry of the Dajin Army.

Sentinels are not something that can be done by just one person, they need to be trained and have specialized reconnaissance skills. The death of a large number of sentinels had a very serious impact on the intelligence reconnaissance of the Dajin Army. Without those experienced sentinels, the cavalry who were temporarily dispatched could hardly get any valuable information, and they could not even talk about it when they reported it, and they could not get to the main point for a long time. What's worse is that they don't know how to hide themselves, so they are more likely to become the target of the Tiger Ben Army's cavalry.

Zilharang had to count the casualties every day, and the casualties every day were two or three hundred. This is basically a big gold army of Niu Lu. After a series of blows by the Tiger Army, the number of cattle in the Dajin Army has decreased dramatically. Now, with one less Niu Lu every day, who can stand such casualties?

If it weren't for Huang Taiji himself, the morale of the Dajin army would have fallen to the bottom long ago, and the troops would have collapsed. In fact, even with Huang Taiji in charge, the morale of the troops was quite low.

Even the soldiers of the forward battalion began to be listless, "I can't stop worrying." Zilharang estimated that according to this demoralization reduction, the troops would be dispersed when they arrived in Tongzhou.

Something must be done to change the current predicament!

The only way to do that is to travel light! Abandon the looted population and supplies, and then empty the horses with the supplies and give them to the other foot crews to ride, and quickly evacuate northward, taking as many people as you can. As for those who can't be taken away, I have to pray that they are lucky, and God will overestimate them. As for things like the redcoat cannon, that's only ruined.

It is certainly not easy to make such a decision. Huang Taiji is not easy, and all the other slave chiefs are not easy. This time, they paid such a heavy price, losing more than 20,000 living forces, losing a Baylor, and finally had to go back empty-handed. How can the high-level leaders of Dajin accept such an outcome?

But what if you don't accept it? Do they want to die all here? If they continue to grind in Beizhili, only Zhang Zhun will have the last laugh. Maybe "while the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army continued to attack and disturb, Zhang Zhun was watching coldly from behind."

Abandon?

Don't give up?

It's a tangled question.

Suddenly, Hauge sensed something, and subconsciously looked at the fields around him. Zilharang seemed to sense something, too, and stretched out his ears to listen carefully to the movement of the surrounding fields. They suddenly felt that the gunshots around them seemed to be disappearing sporadically, and finally they really disappeared completely.

The attack, as if it had ceased completely, was "a silence on the prairie." This was the first time they felt the calm of the wilderness since they came out of Hejian Mansion, and the first time that there was no noise of gunfire. Between heaven and earth, it is as peaceful as the wilderness of Liaodong.

"The Tiger Army has retreated?"

Hauge asked, puzzled.

"No!"

Zilharang shook his head deeply.

He was experienced in the battlefield, so he would not believe that the cavalry of the Tiger Army had retreated. Such a calm is definitely not a good thing. Before the storm, the heavens and the earth were very calm.

"Not good!"

Jige also reacted.

The cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army all retreated, and they must be planning a bigger move.

"What's going on?"

Suddenly, Huang Taiji came out of the tent and asked with a gloomy face.

He also felt that all the gunfire "suddenly disappeared." Almost without thinking, Huang Taiji sensed that something was wrong.

"The Tiger Army's attacks have stopped."

Zilharang said bitterly.

"Really?"

Huang Taiji subconsciously muttered to himself, and then pinched his somewhat white knuckles hard, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

The Tiger Army's temporary suspension of attacks must have been planning a bigger move, and he could react without thinking. The question is, are the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army planning any action? Are they going to hit themselves head-on? Good! Zhang Zhun, you come! I've been waiting for you for a long time!

"Be vigilant and prepare for battle!" , Huang Taiji can only coldly convey orders.
