Chapter 653: A Light Like a Bean, Still Vomiting Blood......

Night, deep,.

In Dongjiabao's conference hall, Zhang Zhun was pondering alone.

The soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for a day rested early. There are only a large number of logistics service personnel, and they are still busy. In the firelight, there was a faint figure of a sentry. Yang Zixuan and other officers were busy settling the wounded and bidding farewell to the fallen soldiers. Because of the needs of the battle, the remains of the martyrs will be cremated, and then the ashes will be taken back to the Laoshan Martyrs Cemetery for burial.

Zhang Zhun also just came back from condolences to the wounded. At his level, these face projects do not need to be involved often. The officers of the battalions, as well as the condolence regiments from the rear, will bring the psychological comfort that the wounded need most. What he needs to think about is the next move of the Tiger Army.

In the daytime battle, the Dingzi battalion lost a total of five hundred people, which was within the range that Zhang Zhun could bear. Of course, for the soldiers of the Tiger Army, such casualties are already very large. Because, one-third of the soldiers of the Dingzi battalion are gone. However, the thought of the exterminated Tartars soon overshadowed everyone's sadness. The loss of Tartars, at least in the tens of thousands. 500 people for 10,000 people, no matter how you say it, it is a good deal. Competing for manpower, who is the Tiger Ben Army afraid of?

Of course, Zhang Zhun did not dare to be overly optimistic. Excessive optimism, that is, pride and complacency, is about to cause great things. The battle with the Tartars is long and arduous, and it is simply unrealistic to want to devour the Tartars in one bite. If Huang Taiji was really that incompetent, the Dajin Kingdom would not have finally annexed the Ming Kingdom and established a new dynasty in the Central Plains.

No matter how much Zhang Zhun despised the Tartars, he must admit that at that time, Huang Taiji, Dolgon and others, relatively speaking, were indeed relatively outstanding talents. They made good use of the general trend of the world at that time, and then exerted their subjective initiative, and finally achieved the goal of ruling the world. Although the battle during the day is over, the battle with Huang Taiji has actually just begun.

The previous battle can only be said to have pitted Huang Taiji. Yes, it's just a pit for Huang Taiji. Zhang Zhun took advantage of the resentment of the people of Dajin Kingdom against him, carefully designed a trap, and then secretly calculated the Tartar. However, this is not to say that the Tartars were completely defeated by the Tiger Army. In fact, there is still a long way to go before the Tartars are completely defeated.

After suffering losses, the Tartars also came to their senses. They will learn from this battle, and they will not easily fall for the Tiger Army in the future. This means that in the future battle, it is basically impossible to pit the Tartars like this. In the future, the Tiger Army will have a dignified head-to-head battle with the Tartars.

In fact, until now, the initiative of the war is still in the hands of the Tartars, and it is still in the hands of Huang Taiji. No matter what Huang Taiji wants to do, he Zhang Zhun can only passively bear it. After suffering losses, the Tartars will definitely avoid the battle method of attacking the fortifications and try their best to fight the Tiger Ben Army in the field. Zhang Zhun estimated that the Tartars might divide their forces, loot everywhere, and carry out the bloodiest revenge.

With Huang Taiji's cleverness, it is not difficult to speculate that he has a plan to get involved in Beizhili. Therefore, it is very likely that Huang Taiji will adopt a three-light policy for Beizhili, burn it, kill it, rob it, and completely destroy the productivity of Beizhili. In the future, even if he controls Beizhili, he will not be able to get much combat power from Beizhili in the short term. With the cruel personality of the Tartars, it is entirely possible to do so.

In the field, the Tiger Ben Army does not have such strength for the time being. Therefore, if Huang Taiji did this, Zhang Zhun could only barely watch. Frankly speaking, once you leave the turtle shell of Dongjiabao, it is the Tiger Ben Army who will be abused. The road ahead is still a long one!

"Mo Yu, are you ready?"

Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.

"My lord, I'm thinking about it, don't rush me."

Mo Yu's voice came from next door.

"You can express the meaning, you don't need to think about the words."

Zhang Zhun said disappreciably.

"That's not going to work! My lord, this letter is signed in your name, don't make people laugh! ”

Mo Yu said seriously.

"That'...... You think about it slowly. ”

Zhang Zhun was stunned, so he had to say casually.

"Good!"

Mo Yu replied solemnly.

Zhang Zhun rolled his eyes, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. This Mo Yu is really using chicken feathers as an arrow. He was really just asking Mo Yu to ponder the contents of a letter. This letter was written by him to Chongzhen, and it was considered a private letter. Zhang Zhun hoped that after receiving his letter, Chongzhen would be able to order the main force of the Ming army under his command to outflank the Tartars from multiple directions and give the Tartars the heaviest blow.

After the failure of the attack on Dongjiabao, the strength and morale of the Tartars fell to the lowest point, and the combat effectiveness was only less than 30% of the usual at most. If the Ming army could make up its mind at this time, break the cauldron and sink the boat, dispatch all the troops, surround the Tartars, and with the assistance of the Tiger Ben army, the two would join forces to encircle and chase most of the elite of Huang Taiji, and eliminate them in the territory of Beizhili, it is not impossible.

According to the information provided by the Wenxiang Sect Network, Chongzhen currently has an army of at least 200,000 people in his hands. Even if these 200,000 people are all tofu dregs, if they are pressed together, it will be enough for Tartar to drink a pot. Now is the time when the Tartar is at its weakest, and the bracing can also hold the Tartar to death. What's more, part of the Ming army may not be tofu scum.

For example, Wu Sangui's Liaodong cavalry had a certain combat effectiveness. If you really fight with the Tartars, it is still possible to exchange two Liaodong cavalry for one Tartar cavalry. 20,000 Liaodong cavalry, in exchange for 10,000 Tatar cavalry, how cost-effective it is!

This is definitely good for Chongzhen. The Tiger Ben Army has already inflicted heavy losses on the Tartars in Dongjiabao, and if the Ming army gives the Tartars another fatal blow, the threat of the Tartars outside the pass can basically be lifted. If this goal is achieved, the threat of the Tartars will basically disappear. At the very least, within a few years, Chongzhen doesn't have to worry about being under the weight of the Tartars.

Of course, there are many difficulties in achieving this goal. Between the imperial court and the Tiger Army, they were originally suspicious of each other and wary of each other. Whether Chongzhen will accept Zhang Zhun's suggestion or not has to be said. Zhang Zhun's suggestion seemed to him to be a good intention, but in the eyes of the imperial court, it had the meaning of driving wolves and chasing tigers and killing people with knives. Therefore, if you want the court to cooperate, it is very difficult.

Chongzhen's jealousy of his Zhang Zhun is not under Huang Taiji. For Chongzhen, what is the most important thing? Is it a national society? Is it the people's livelihood? Neither! It is his ninety-five honor, the emperor's throne! Huang Taiji may not have the heart to snatch his emperor's throne, but Zhang Zhun openly raised the banner to pull him down from the emperor's throne.

The relationship between the Tartars, the imperial court, and the Tiger Ben Army is really too complicated. It's like the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. It is inevitable to join forces and intrigue and intrigue. Since the Tiger Ben Army can join forces with the imperial court and clean up the Tartars together, it is not impossible for the imperial court and the Tartars to join forces and deal with him Zhang Zhun together. Anything can be done for the sake of profit.

However, Chongzhen's acceptance of the suggestion is his business. Whether to make suggestions or not is Zhang Zhun's business. If Chongzhen is unwilling to seize such a good opportunity, he can only say that Chongzhen is really a faint king. For a faint gentleman, there is no need to be polite.

Unconsciously, Zhang Zhun had put his position on an equal footing with Chongzhen and Huang Taiji. When he was thinking about the future of the Tiger Army, the two of them should also be thinking about their own futures, right?

……

Huang Taiji was vomiting blood.

After the battle, Huang Taiji's face was not very good. However, there was no major situation. In the eyes of his subordinates, Huang Taiji was still very calm, and he was not hit by the defeat in the battle. However, after returning to his golden tent, Huang Taiji finally couldn't help it and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.

After two consecutive days of attacking, the losses of the Dajin army were too heavy. According to incomplete statistics, the strength of the Zhenghuang Banner has lost more than 20%. The troops with yellow flags lost more than forty percent. The other flags, the loss of troops, are more than half. Fortunately, the elite of the forward battalion is still there, otherwise, Huang Taiji must be highly suspicious of whether he can still sit firmly in this position.

The losses of the Mongols were no less. At the other three points, they also suffered a strong counterattack from the Tiger Army, and those who rushed up were suddenly blinded, and then they all fell into the sea of blood. Five thousand people went up, and less than five hundred returned. Everyone else has become the prey of the Tiger Army.

By this time, Huang Taiji had completely understood. He was fooled. Zhang Zhun was not caught by the Dajin Army by accident at all, but was specially waiting for him to take the bait in Dongjiabao. In the past, the Dajin Army couldn't figure out what Zhang Zhun was going to do when he appeared in Hejian Mansion, but now, he finally understood that others were digging a pit for the Dajin Army. As a result, Dajin Jun accidentally fell into this big pit and fell all over his head.

Everything that Zhang Zhun prepared in Dongjiabao and other strongholds was to inflict losses on the Dajin army. Zhang Zhun's only purpose was to reduce the number of the Dajin army. This cunning opponent can be regarded as having figured out the fatality of the Dajin Kingdom. The most lethal part of the Dajin Kingdom is the lack of manpower and soldiers. This time in Dongjiabao, he lost so many soldiers at once, no wonder Huang Taiji vomited blood.

Among the three major Mongolian tribes, the most serious losses were the Horqin tribe. They followed the Dajin army to attack Dongjiabao, and the attack was also very brave. Zai Sambu and he are worthy of being the most loyal allies of the Dajin Kingdom, and there is nothing to say about it. The Horqin tribe dispatched all the elite of the elite, and Zaisambu and even his own sons were sent up. Unfortunately, the counterattack they suffered was particularly strong, and the losses suffered were also the heaviest, and the sons of Zaisangbu and the sons were also heroically killed.

Casualties among the Harasan and Tumut tribes were also significant. What's even worse is that the people and horses lost by these two tribes are all trying to take refuge in his Emperor Taiji. Needless to say, this is clearly a murder plan by Hadan Baatar and Arislan.

"These two guys, sooner or later, I'll settle accounts with you."

Huang Taiji thought stupidly in his heart.

The losses of the Han army flag were also very large, and the Korean servant army was completely annihilated. Fortunately, Shang Kexi is still alive, and the red-clothed cannon of the Dajin Army is basically still there. Huang Taiji simply ordered Shang Kexi to organize the Han army flag and the remnants of the Korean servant army together, and put Shang Kexi under the unified command.

The losses are too great, really too big.

Fortunately, he decisively ordered a retreat, otherwise, the losses of the troops would have been even greater.

After withdrawing the army, Huang Taiji immediately released the remaining troops to burn, kill and loot, and used crazy killing to vent the anger and fear in the hearts of the soldiers. Otherwise, the soldiers will definitely be deeply enveloped in the atmosphere of defeat, and there will definitely be a mutiny. At the same time, letting out the people around you can also effectively prevent them from questioning themselves.

Although Huang Taiji believes that there are no mistakes in his decision, as long as he does not achieve victory, he must take responsibility. As the head of the Dajin Kingdom, if you can't seek benefits for the Dajin Kingdom, you will be abandoned by others.

"Ah Hun, are you better?"

Zilharang next to him asked with concern.

"Adou, do you think we still have a chance to make a comeback?"

Huang Taiji coughed and said bitterly.

"Of course!"

Zilharang replied without thinking.

"Why are you so confident?"

Huang Taiji asked after him.

"Ahun, we just made a mistake this time. We still have the strength. As long as we loot enough people and materials, go back to Liaodong, and recuperate for three or five years, our strength will definitely be able to recover slowly. ”

Zilharang said hurriedly.

"Three or five years...... Do you think the Tiger Army will give us such a long time? ”

Huang Taiji smiled slightly bitterly.

"Then it depends on what Chongzhen means."

Zilharang said meaningfully.

Huang Taiji's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Very good, you have full authority to plan it!" ”

Zilharang nodded and agreed.

Huang Taiji stood silently in front of his desk for a while, then took out a black pill, poured a bowl of water himself, and drank it. In fact, this time is not the time for him to take medicine. However, he still has a lot of work to do, and he must keep his energy high.

In front of his subordinates, he must always maintain the image of the Great Khan, especially in the face of unfavorable war conditions. In the previous battle, Huang Taiji didn't think it was a failure, it just didn't go well. He also has a forward battalion, as well as the main force of the positive yellow flag and the yellow flag, and he can also fight in the field with the Tiger Ben Army.

As long as the Tiger Ben Army leaves Dongjiabao, he will let the other party know how powerful the Dajin Army cavalry is!

Zhang Zhun, let's see!
