Nearly 200,000 after the Jin Tatars besieged Dalinghe City, this is what Hong Chengchou did not expect, at this time, he could not hold Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi responsible, if there is no other way, the Guanningjin defense line will be really dangerous, after all, waiting here, only 70,000 soldiers, Hong Chengchou still does not know the way, there are 30,000 more troops, retreated, more than 10,000 of them entered Ningyuan City, 20,000 people entered Shanhaiguan, and the Ming army waiting for the Guanningjin defense line reached 100,000.

Hong Chengchou is not worried about the Houjin Tartars attacking Dalinghe City, nor is he worried about Jinzhou, but Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, it is difficult to say, especially Shanhaiguan, there are only 20,000 border troops stationed, if Huang Taiji is desperate and leads the army to attack Shanhaiguan, then, the Jiangning battalion soldiers of Dalinghe City are fighting for their lives, and they have to leave here, fight to the death with Houjin Tatars, and desperately defend Shanhaiguan, but what does such a battle mean, Hong Chengchou knows very well.

There is also the most critical point, Huang Taiji is likely to ask a part of the Houjin Tartars to continue to besiege Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, and take a part of the Houjin Tartars to attack Shanhaiguan.

Huang Taiji has written a letter, this is a letter of persuasion, it is clearly said that the attack on Liaodong, there are 200,000 warriors of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, the army has exterminated the 100,000 border troops who invaded the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji cherishes talents, and is not willing to kill too much, and advises the Ming army stationed in Dalinghe City to surrender, such a letter of persuasion, of course Hong Chengchou will not pay attention, but it is impossible for him not to worry, it should be said that Huang Taiji may have exaggerated elements, and the 100,000 border army led by Chen Xinjia cannot be completely wiped out, But Hong Chengchou didn't know the specific situation of Lu Dao, what these border troops were, and how many sergeants were left. At present, it is unknown where these soldiers are, and since the Houjin Tartars have surrounded Dalinghe City, all the news has not been known.

Hong Chengchou consulted with many officers, and all of them had the same point of view, and they were stubbornly defending Dalinghe City.

Hong Chengchou once thought. He was able to send a sergeant to break out of the encirclement at night to understand the situation in Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, but he finally gave up and observed the camp of Houjin Tartar for two consecutive days, and he knew very well that no one could rush out of the encirclement, so it was better not to do such a thing that would increase casualties.

Hong Chengchou also has plenty of self-confidence. The Houjin Tartars were unable to capture Dalinghe City, even if Huang Taiji personally led the Houjin Tartars, they could only cause more heavy casualties outside Dalinghe City.

Hong Chengchou's self-confidence was also confirmed, after Huang Taiji led the army over, he did not directly attack Dalinghe City, but set up camp around it, and surrounded Dalinghe City like an iron bucket. After the Jin Tartars besieged Dalinghe City, Hong Chengchou was not in a hurry at all. The food in the city is enough to last for more than half a year, such a long time, I am afraid that Su Tiancheng has already made a move, this is not the situation when Chongzhen was four years old.

Huang Taiji was just as worried that he would be besieged like this for a long time. I'm afraid not, after all, the situation is different now.

It is not possible to directly attack Dalinghe City, and it is the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion who guard Dalinghe City. Brave and good at fighting, Dolgon led the army, only attacked for a day, the casualties reached 5,000 people, continue to work, it is impossible to make much improvement, besides, the sharpness of the Ming artillery, made Huang Taiji shudder, he also decided, no matter what, to get the Ming artillery.

If Su Tiancheng led the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to come to Liaodong, plus the Ming army in Liaodong, what is the outcome of such a big battle, Huang Taiji does not dare to guarantee absolute victory, if it fails, the Great Qing Kingdom is also in danger.

The best way to attack is to attack, but how to attack is debatable.

In the military tent.

Dolgon, Hauge, Azig, Tony, Aobai, Tan Tai and others are all here, Fan Wencheng stood on the right side of Huang Taiji, after the battle in front, Fan Wencheng's position became more and more stable, his accurate analysis helped Huang Taiji make a decision, but also helped the Qing Dynasty to achieve a major victory.

"I feel that it is not possible to take the method of besieging the city to send reinforcements, and now I am in a dilemma, on the one hand, the method of besieging Dalinghe City is estimated to be impossible, after all, the situation has changed over the years, and I must also prevent accidents, on the other hand, the attack is also not good, the Jiangning battalion stationed in Dalinghe City is extremely brave, the fourteenth brother has already organized an attack, and the casualties are very large, if you pay too many casualties, you still can't take Dalinghe City, which is extremely unfavorable for my Great Qing Kingdom, What do you think should be done in such a situation? ”

Dorgon looked at the crowd and spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the younger brother attacked Dalinghe City and Montenegro, the ending was completely different, attacking Dalinghe City, the army suffered heavy losses, attacking Montenegro, although it also caused certain losses, but took Montenegro and killed all the Ming troops defending the city, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Ming border army and the Jiangning battalion is completely different, the cavalry of the Jiangning battalion is no less than my cavalry of the Eight Banners, and the younger brother will not praise anyone easily, but I have seen it with my own eyes, and the younger brother must tell the truth."

"The younger brother thinks that it is really not possible to forcibly attack Dalinghe City, but to besiege Dalinghe City, in a short period of time, it is impossible to have much effect, if Su Tiancheng leads the Jiangning battalion to come to reinforcements, I am afraid that the army will have to evacuate, the emperor will lead an army of 200,000 to conquer, if it is not able to achieve major results, even if it is to take Dalinghe City, the younger brother thinks it is inappropriate."

"Brother Chen has an idea, is the army besieging Dalinghe City, attacking Jinzhou, Ningyuan or even Shanhaiguan, in this case, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan any place is dangerous, Dalinghe City Ming army has to go out of the city to reinforce, at that time, the opportunity for the army to come, now, the siege is probably not the best way, the attack may have a practical effect."

Huang Taiji nodded and looked at Fan Wencheng beside him.

Fan Wencheng had been pondering, and when Dolgon spoke, he listened very carefully.

After Dorgon finished speaking, Fan Wencheng looked at Hauge.

Hauge spoke.

"Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that Uncle Fourteen's suggestion is feasible, in case of attacking Shanhaiguan and making a breakthrough, wouldn't the army have taken the Guanningjin defense line."

Huang Taiji frowned, a little annoyed, Haoge has followed Fan Wencheng for so long, in terms of thinking, there are still shortcomings, even if the army takes Shanhaiguan, doesn't it matter if there are a large number of Ming troops behind him, if he encounters Su Tiancheng and Jiangning's battalion, wouldn't it be even more troublesome, it is impossible for the sergeant to hold Shanhaiguan, and the division of troops must be considered as a whole, otherwise it will weaken the strength of the army.

Fan Wencheng felt that if Haoge inherited the throne, he would be far inferior to Huang Taiji, but at this time, he had to speak.

"Your Majesty, the slaves think that it is feasible to divide the troops, the soldiers besieging Dalinghe City, leaving 30,000 people is enough, the army directly attacks Shanhaiguan, the Ming Guanningjin defense line, the focus is on Shanhaiguan, the army attacks Shanhaiguan, you can realize the tactics of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, the Ming will never dare to lose Shanhaiguan, as long as our army attacks Shanhaiguan, the Ming army stationed in Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City, must try to reinforce by all means, they can not let Shanhaiguan appear in any danger, in this case, The army will be able to successfully take Dalinghe City, even Jinzhou and Ningyuan, presumably our army will besiege the Ningjin defense line, and the Ming court will also know, and will definitely come up with a way to stick to Shanhaiguan, so the slave thinks that time is very tight, and it is necessary to attack Shanhaiguan as quickly as possible, attracting the Ming army of Dalinghe City, Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and come to reinforcements, so that the opportunity for my army will come, as long as it occupies Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, when the time comes, it will definitely be able to shock the Ming Dynasty and inspire the warriors of the Qing Dynasty for the future expeditionto lay the best foundation. ”

A smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face.

"Okay, I see that such a plan is very good, I decided, Azig led an army of 30,000 to besiege Dalinghe City, if the Ming army came out to fight, it must be at any cost, desperately fighting, Dolgon led 30,000 soldiers, besieged Ningyuan, I personally led the army, attacked Dalinghe City, if the Ming army of Dalinghe City came to reinforce, Azig pursued, Dolgon led the army, took advantage of the situation to take Dalinghe City, and then the army came back, exterminated the reinforced Ming army, and attacked Jinzhou City, this time the army is bound to take Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, Even if Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion to come to reinforcements, it would be useless. ”

As soon as the day dawned, Hong Chengchou found out that a large number of Houjin Tartars bypassed Dalinghe City and went in the direction of Jinzhou, his heart began to sink, and the worst result appeared, if the Houjin Tartars went to attack Shanhaiguan, it would be really dangerous, and the entire Guanning Jin defense line was in great danger.

At this time, Hong Chengchou finally understood that Su Tiancheng had always attached great importance to Huang Taiji and did not dare to have any contempt.

In the General Military Mansion, Hong Chengchou gathered a large number of officers.

"Everyone, the worst result has appeared, I'm afraid that the Golden Tartars will directly attack Shanhaiguan, if Shanhaiguan is in danger, I am in danger, you all have to be ready, the army is ready to go out, three days later, leave 10,000 soldiers to wait for Dalinghe City, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers, follow me out of the city, reinforce Shanhaiguan, no matter how much danger there is, no matter how much sacrifice we pay, we must protect Shanhaiguan."

The atmosphere in the house is very depressing, although Shanhaiguan is the strongest city, but who knows if there will be an accident in Ludao, if there is really an accident, what is the significance of the Guanning Jin defense line, Dalinghe City, Jinzhou and Ningyuan, are all based on Shanhaiguan as the core, and if Shanhaiguan is lost, these places will lose their meaning, unless it is the army attacking Houjin Tartar from behind.
