Chapter 646: More powerful than a hedgehog is a porcupine

Seeing that everyone was silent and no one was willing to take the initiative to speak, Zilharang had no choice but to cough, focus everyone's attention, and then said slowly: "What do you think about the battle during the day?" I hope you will speak freely."

The whole tent was silent, only the sound of breathing. It is not good to be out of the teacher, everyone knows that Huang Taiji is in a bad mood, and he easily does not dare to speak first, so as not to accidentally say the wrong thing and touch Huang Taiji's moldy head. Hauge was defeated, and he must have been looking for a scapegoat, and they were not willing to be the scapegoat.

In desperation, Zilharang had no choice but to glance at his younger brother. His younger brother is called Fei Yangwu, and now he is Jialazhangjing with a blue flag. Like Zilharang, Fei Yangwu is also a member of the pro-emperor Taiji faction. Because the owner of the blue flag, Abatai, took part of his men and horses to attack Qingzhou City, and the soldiers with the blue flag who stayed in Beizhili were commanded by Fei Yangwu. As a representative of the blue flag, Fei Yangwu was also eligible to attend the meeting.

Fei Yangwu comprehended his brother's eyes, hurriedly stood up, and took the lead in saying: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, I think we will increase the intensity of the offensive tomorrow, launch an attack from many aspects, and take a multi-pronged approach to break through one point." As long as we break through one of these points, we can fight for the initiative. ”

Zilharang nodded and said gently, "Fei Yangwu's suggestion is very good, what about the others?" ”

Fei Yangwu's speech, in fact, did not have any substantive content, and was purely used as an opening statement. The Dajin Army is not willing to be defeated and will definitely attack again. When the offensive is launched again, of course, the troops will be strengthened. The Dongjiabao area is too small, and too many troops cannot be used, so it will definitely be attacked from many aspects. In other words, all three other points are included in the offensive goal.

In general, Fei Yangwu's suggestion is quite decent. However, Fei Yangwu is soft-spoken, no matter how good his suggestion is, it can't get into everyone's eyes. On the contrary, if these words were to come out of the mouth of the previous Azig, the effect would be completely different. In the absence of Yueto and Abatai, the one who has the most say in military affairs is Azig.

In fact, this is also a small mistake accidentally made by Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji didn't expect that Haoge would be defeated. He transferred Yueto and Abatai, who were good at fighting, to avoid the aura of the two and cover up Hauge's existence. If Hauge wants to come out, he has to surpass these predecessors. Unexpectedly, Hauge was defeated, and Yueto and Abatai were not present, which made Azig very prominent.

The current situation is a bit awkward. The people present, except for Haoge, Zierharang, and Huang Taiji, the other generals of the Dajin Army did not dare to put forward any military suggestions at all. The tiger is still there, and Azig is still here. If the suggestion he put forward was immature, and he was refuted by Azig, wouldn't it be boring to be self-deprecating? Azig's mouth has always been very smelly, and he has never been afraid of offending people.

As for those who are not in the Dajin Army, they will not be so positive...... The contradiction between Huang Taiji and Azig, who doesn't know a little? If you accidentally get into a fight between the two, you will get into trouble. The Mongols followed south, not to plunder people and supplies, not to fight. As for the banner owner of the Han army flag, Shang Kexi, as well as the commander of the Korean servant army...... Do they have a voice?

After a moment of silence, Debach, the representative of the blue flag, said: "Can the red-coated cannon get closer and directly destroy the wall of Dongjiabao?" It's good to open an opening! ”

This is the safest, most correct and risk-free proposal, and even Azig will not refute it. However, to say it is to say nothing. Idiots know that if they continue to attack tomorrow, the red-coated artillery will definitely push to the front and directly collapse the city wall. If the Dajin Army doesn't even know this, he can be killed by a headlong crash.

Sure enough, Zilharang said without thinking, "Yes." ”

After Debach sat down, he began to cool down again.

It is not easy to find an insurance policy that will not be refuted by Azig. Among these people here, apart from Huang Taiji, who else has more battlefield experience than Azig? If his suggestion is not right, it is strange that he is not refuted by Azig. Why bother?

Huang Taiji also sensed the threat of Azig, and secretly regretted that he should not let Yue Tuo and Abatai go at the same time, otherwise, as long as either of the two was there, they could curb Azig's prestige, and the people below would not be so jealous when they spoke. However, both of them have already crossed the Yellow River, and it is too late to regret it. Since the people inside don't dare to speak, let the people outside. So, his gaze subconsciously fell on Arislan's body.

Arislan hurriedly said: "The warriors of the Tumut tribe are willing to participate in the attack tomorrow. ”

This is not a suggestion, it is a gesture of determination. There is certainly a reason for expressing determination at this time. Arislan is not a fool and understands what Huang Taiji needs most at this time. At this time, what Huang Taiji needs to do most is to stabilize people's hearts. So, I immediately gave him a reassuring pill. At the same time, Azhislan wanted to see if Huang Taiji really had the intention to let the Mongols be cannon fodder.

Originally, this time the Mongols followed the Dajin army south, and they came to loot people and materials, not to fight a fierce battle. If Huang Taiji wanted the Mongol cavalry to fall into a fierce battle and suffer heavy losses, the complaints of the various Mongolian tribes would definitely be very fierce. If Huang Taiji wanted to let the Mongols be used as cannon fodder to deal with the Tiger Army, then it was impossible to say, and everyone had to go their separate ways.

Huang Taiji nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "I hope that the warriors of Tumut can bring us good luck, I have always trusted your courage and determination. After the city is broken, I will definitely reward the heroes who broke the city. Whoever is the first to rush into the city will receive the commendation and blessing of Chechen Khan. ”

Arislan's gaze sank slightly, and he expressed his gratitude repeatedly. But his heart was secretly cold. The Tumut tribe was indeed treated as cannon fodder. Huang Taiji spoke nicely, but he couldn't hide the fact that before the city was broken, the warriors of the Tumut tribe would inevitably suffer heavy losses. The strength of the Tumut tribe was greatly reduced. The Dajin Army's intention to make the Mongols cannon fodder was fully revealed.

Hadan Baatel next to him also lowered his eyes, and he didn't speak, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart. In fact, the leader of the Harashen tribe also sensed danger. Obviously, after suffering losses, Huang Taiji was interested in getting more Mongols to go to the battlefield. Judging by the situation of the battle during the day, this is not a good thing. The population and supplies have not been grabbed much, but the warriors of their own tribe are going to die in large numbers, and no one wants to!

However, Hadanbatel did not dare to raise objections. Although the Dajin Army has suffered certain losses at present, its overall strength is still relatively strong. On the contrary, the three major tribes of Mongolia were not united with each other, and they could easily be defeated by the Dajin army. Under the high pressure of the Dajin Army, knowing that they were being sent to be cannon fodder, they had no choice but to admit it.

Sure enough, Huang Taiji's gaze quickly fell on Hadan Battle. The Turmut tribe's Arislan had already expressed his determination, and the next one was naturally the turn of the Harasan tribe. In other words, the relationship between Huang Taiji and these two tribes is not very good.

Hadanbatel hurriedly said: "Chechen Khan, the warriors of Harashen are willing to send five thousand men to participate in the attack. If you don't take Dongjiabao, you will never come back. ”

Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction, and said incomprehensibly: "The grassland of Harashen is beautiful, and the character of the warrior is even more beautiful. Someone came, gave him a glass of wine, and saw off the warriors of Harashen. ”

Immediately a golden cup was brought and filled with fine wine, and brought to Hadan Battle. Hadan Batel knew that he was on the thief ship of Huang Taiji and was about to suffer heavy losses. However, at this juncture, he had no choice but to admit it. After thanking him, he hurriedly picked up the golden cup and drank it all.

After drinking the perfect wine, Hadan Batel felt as if his internal organs were burning, very uncomfortable, and his disgust with Huang Taiji became stronger and stronger, but on the surface, he had to respectfully express his gratitude to Huang Taiji. The Harashen tribe came with 10,000 people this time, and 5,000 were defeated, and their strength must be greatly reduced. After going back, whether he can secure the position of the tribal leader depends on two words. Alas, this time it really eroded the old book.

Zaisangbuhe hurriedly said: "The warriors of the Horqin tribe are also willing to go on the expedition. ”

Huang Taiji said gently: "The warriors of Horqin, let's continue to be responsible for containing the enemy's central camp." This task is also very important, and I can't think of anyone else who can do it except the warriors of the Horqin tribe. ”

Zai Sambu He was slightly stunned, and then agreed quietly.

Azhislan and Hadanbaatle glanced at each other, and the discomfort in their hearts became even stronger. Damn, it's really someone who takes care of himself! The central battalion to contain the Tiger Army, that is, did not need to be directly involved in the siege. In other words, major casualties can be avoided. The strength of the Horqin tribe was already very strong, but this time it avoided losses, and I am afraid that its strength will be even stronger in the future.

On the contrary, the two tribes suffered heavy losses. Not to mention, just the loss of 5,000 people per tribe is a nerve-wracking. You must know that what they bring is the backbone of the backbone, and the loss will be a great heartache. Their strength has been greatly weakened, but the Horqin tribe has no loss, and the Horqin tribe will definitely unify the grassland in the future.

Damn, Huang Taiji is borrowing a knife to kill people! I knew this, when I was in the grassland, I should have pretended to be sick and didn't come under the pretext. Now, it's too late to regret it. At this moment, the tribal leaders of Tumut and Harasan were all repentant.

When the Ming Kingdom was strong, the Mongols were the swords of the Ming people. When the Dajin Kingdom was strong, the Mongols were the swords of the Dajin Kingdom. Poor Mongols, when will they be able to act autonomously? When will Genghis Khan's prestige be restored?

Azig coughed softly twice.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Azig's body.

Today's Azig is quite different from yesterday. If you want to say that yesterday's Azig was still depressed and listless, today's Azig seems to be a little energetic. To be precise, it was only after the defeat of Haug that Azig had his spirit. When everyone spoke just now, Azig didn't say anything, just looked at the dome of the tent, with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth. Obviously, this sneer was specially put out for Huang Taiji to see.

The people present were well aware of the contradictions between Huang Taiji and Dolgon. Huang Taiji slapped Azig in the face on the battlefield, and Azig now wants to hit Huang Taiji back in the face as well. However, no one will point it out if you know it. Just seeing Azig like this, everyone knew that Huang Taiji's mood was going to be even worse.

Sure enough, Huang Taiji's brows couldn't help frowning. Although the frowning brow quickly relaxed, it returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened. However, this subtle action was still caught by many quick-thinking guys. It seems that Huang Taiji is really very dissatisfied with Azig's turnover!

Indeed, Huang Taiji wanted to stomp Azig to the ground so that he would never be able to turn over. He wants to step on the three Azig brothers completely and remove all obstacles for his family. However, Hauge's defeat gave Azig a chance to turn over in an instant. Such a feeling, of course, is very bitter.

Azig said slowly: "I think that continuing to attack will only increase casualties in vain." We can't afford too many casualties. I suggest luring Zhang Zhun out and eliminating him in the field. ”

Haug was a little uncomfortable with Azig's resurgence. The biggest obstacle to his succession to the throne was Dorgon. Azig, on the other hand, is Dolgon's biological brother and is the strongest supporter. If Azig were to return to power, it would not do him any good. However, he had no way to directly restrain the other party, so he had to say in a deep voice: "What idea does Uncle Twelve have to lure Zhang Zhun out?" ”

Azig said: "Judging from the daytime battle, the Tiger Ben army has been fully prepared to defend the city, all defensive measures are quite perfect, and the power of firearms is also very strong. If we continue to attack the city, the casualties will be very high. Attacking fortifications has never been our army's strong point, and we should not have such a head-to-head confrontation with the enemy unless we have to. It's not worth touching eggs and stones. The lives of our Dajin Kingdom warriors are very precious. ”

This doesn't sound like a problem, it's all about the facts. However, those who are interested can still hear the taste. Azig is implicitly accusing Haug of being inferior to others. The last time Azig lost, he also killed more than 2,000 people, and that was in the case of insufficient preparation. This time, Haoge was well prepared and had a large number of siege equipment to cooperate, but he still killed 2,000 people, and also put up a large number of Han army flags and Korean servant troops. Compare the two and argue from the bottom.

Of course, Haoge heard the flavor of it, and immediately said a little unconvinced: "If we lose an attack, we won't dare to attack the Tiger Army, wouldn't it make Zhang Zhun laugh shamefully?" Isn't the credibility of our Dajin Kingdom ruined? Uncle Twelve should know that there are still many people staring around us. The emperors of the Ming Kingdom are all watching us fight! We shook the mountains and went south, and went back to the gray, probably the twelfth uncle didn't want to, right? ”

The other high-ranking members of the Dajin Army present all nodded thoughtfully.

Hauge's words point to a core issue, that is, the prestige of the Dajin Army. Yes, that's very important. Because, this is seriously related to the face of the Dajin Army. If it was someone else inside Dongjiabao, maybe the Dajin Army could indeed fake a shot and then find other places to fight. No one will say anything, the strategy of the Dajin Army has always been erratic.

The problem is that Zhang Zhun is in Dongjiabao. Who is Zhang Zhun? It is the most terrible and hateful enemy since the establishment of the Dajin Kingdom. Knowing that Zhang Zhun is in Dongjiabao, but he can't kill him, what will outsiders say? questioned that the combat effectiveness of the Dajin Army was still light, thinking that the Dajin Army was afraid of being beaten by the Tiger Ben Army, which was the most fatal.

If Zhang Zhun is let go of this, it is indeed easy to cause too many conjectures. This time, the Dajin Army had a big purpose in its southern strategy, which was to kill Zhang Zhun. Now that he knows that Zhang Zhun is in the small town of Dongjiabao, the result is that he can't be killed, doesn't it make the people of the Ming Kingdom laugh? The people of the Ming Kingdom know how to pull the tiger skin to make a big banner, and there are too many articles in it.

What's more, judging from the previous combat experience, if the Ming army stuck to the towns, it would be more difficult for the Dajin army to lure them out than to ascend to the sky. Azig's advice was good. If Zhang Zhun is indeed stupid enough to come out and fight with the Dajin Army, the Dajin Army has enough ability to defeat Zhang Zhun in a blink of ashes. The question is, would Zhang Zhun be stupid enough to be like that? Would he be stupid enough to come out and fight the Dajin Army at night? I doubt it!

Therefore, Hauge's words are not unreasonable. If Dongjiabao is not destroyed, it is impossible to capture Zhang Zhun at all. And if Zhang Zhun can't be caught, even if the Dajin Army can raze Beizhili, and even Shandong and Shanxi, to the ground, it will not be able to solve the fundamental disaster. With the deduction of time, Zhang Zhun's strength will become stronger and stronger. At that time, it will be even more difficult for the Dajin Army to deal with him.

Azig hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "That'...... Go on the offensive! ”

After thinking for a moment, Azig believes that Hauge's skepticism is still justified. It is indeed impossible to lure the enemy out of the field to realize his own idea. Since Zhang Zhun is hiding in Dongjiabao, he probably won't come out. If you want to catch Zhang Zhun, there is indeed only one way to destroy Dongjiabao. To destroy Dongjiabao, the only way to do that is to continue the attack.

Seeing that Azig agreed with him, Haug finally breathed a sigh of relief. Strangely, this uncle and nephew had never had the same views when they had won battles before. This time, both of them lost the battle, but gradually began to agree with each other's opinions. Man, what a strange animal. Perhaps, Azig also began to feel the crisis and temporarily put aside the internal strife?

Zaisangbu took the opportunity to say, "Let's all work together and go down tomorrow." ”

Zilharang took the opportunity to say, "Yes! Have faith! In terms of troops, we have an absolute advantage! Tomorrow we will send more troops! Even if Dongjiabao is a walnut, we will smash this walnut! ”

Azig frowned, and said slowly: "Superior forces may not be useful!" ”

If it had been before, Azig wouldn't have had a chance to speak at all. However, the number of people Haug lost today is more than Azig, if Azig doesn't seize this opportunity and launch a counterattack against Huang Taiji, it won't be Azig. The three Dolgon brothers have the ability to give Huang Taiji a headache, and Azig's repeated acts as a pioneer is one of them.

Zilharang was not afraid of Azig at all, and when he heard this, he said coldly: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Azig said coldly: "Just by increasing the troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results, and maybe we will pay more price." In the daytime battle, everyone also saw that in front of the firearms of the Tiger Army, no matter how many people went up, they could not open the road. ”

Arislan said meaningfully: "Could it be that the Twelve Baylors think that there is a better solution?" Why not give me some pointers? ”

Azig said honestly: "I don't have a good way. The current Dongjiabao is like a hedgehog. If we don't care about it, it won't stab us. However, when we tried to catch it, we were stabbed. ”

Hauge stopped talking.

Azig's parable does have some similar meanings. The tiger army in Dongjiabao is indeed like a hedgehog, covered in thorns, and whoever comes forward will be stabbed fiercely. If you don't come closer, you'll be fine. The problem is, Daikin must catch this damn hedgehog. In this way, being stabbed is inevitable.

No one wants to prick their hands. If it's just a hedgehog, it's a big deal, and the danger of stabbing your hands will kill it. No matter how great a hedgehog's ability is, it is impossible to stab a person to death. The problem is that the Tiger Army seems to be more than just a hedgehog, it is simply a porcupine, much more powerful than a hedgehog. If you are not careful, you will be stabbed to death if you can't do it.

Huang Taiji saw everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the warriors of our Dajin Kingdom are so scared? Could it be that the daytime battle has made you frightened? ”

When such heavy words came out, the people below suddenly couldn't sit still. Huang Taiji was furious. If you don't open your mouth at this time, you have to wait to wear small shoes. Besides, the Manchurians love honor the most, and if they are scared of the Tiger Ben army in a battle, I am afraid that they will die of shame.

Fei Yangwu took the lead and said: "Great Khan, we are willing to take the lead with the blue flag!" Tomorrow I will personally lead the army to the city! If I don't break the city, I won't come back! Our warriors with blue flags, even if they want to die, will die on the head of the city of Dongjiabao! ”

Disastrous!

Hauge was inadvertently slapped in the face again!
