Chapter 109: The War Officially Begins
Bumu Butai was not only confused, she was also very painful.
Reason told her that she must not listen to Cao Yue's demagogy, because she is the mother of the Qing Dynasty, and her son is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and she must stand in the position of the Qing Dynasty to do things. But she subconsciously believed that in the end, Cao Yue and the Ming behind Cao Yue would win, and the Qing Dynasty would die under the guns of the Ming army. Because of this premonition, she felt it was necessary to think about the future for herself and her children.
Cao Yue defeated the Qing army several times, and this time in Liaocheng, he defeated the Qing army led by Dolgon, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, making her feel that this man would be the ultimate ruler of the world. She thought that if one day Dolgon was really completely defeated by Cao Yue, then it would be a good thing for her to succumb to Cao Yue and follow Cao Yue in the future and become his woman.
She believed that Cao Yue should treat her well with her daughter, and he said the same in the letter he sent.
It's just that when she is the emperor's son, what will Cao Yue do with it? What will be the final outcome of the Qing magnates who died in the country?
Bumu Butai was used to life in Beijing and liked the scenery in the Forbidden City, and she didn't want to go back to Shengjing. She also didn't want her people to be brutally treated by the Han people and eventually die in the world.
Chaos, Bumu Butai's mind at this time can only be described by this word.
Whether to reply to Cao Yue's letter or not, and how to respond, Bumu Butai was confused.
And Bumu Butai's upset in the past few days was also rumored by some well-intentioned people outside the Forbidden City, and finally sent to Cao Yue's hands.
In fact, Cao Yue already knew that Bumu Butai gave birth to a daughter for him.
Although the Forbidden City has been occupied by Jiannu, many palace people who originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty were retained by Jiannu. And many of them were co-opted and used by the people sent by Cao Yue. A lot of the things in the Forbidden City came out through these people. Including the matter of Bumu Butai's daughter.
I don't know what the reason is, after hearing that Bumu Butai gave birth to a daughter, Cao Yue subconsciously felt that Bumu Butai's daughter was probably his species. So he had the daughter of Bumu Butai painted, and he didn't hesitate to make sure when he saw it. It's certainly his species. Because he was sure that Bumu Butai gave birth to a daughter for him, Cao Yue thought of writing a secret letter to her and admonishing her.
Cao Yue thinks so, he thinks that since Bumu Butai is willing to give birth to a daughter for him, it means that he has a special feeling for him emotionally, otherwise he would not have given birth to his daughter. Cao Yue thought that Bumu Butai must have known when he was pregnant that the child in his belly was sown by whom, since he knew that it was his seed. is still born, which means that in some ways it is still towards him and has not forgotten him.
If this were not the case, Bumu Butai would definitely get rid of this child and would never give birth to it.
Because of this opinion, Cao Yue wanted to fight for Bumu Butai, he knew that if a woman was emotional, she would often make irrational moves. It is even possible to betray one's own people.
If Bumu Butai can succeed in winning it, maybe in the near future when he attacks Beijing. Unexpected results can be reaped.
It's just that what Cao Yue didn't know was that Bumu Butai had thought of a way to kill this child, but this child's vitality was too tenacious and he didn't get it down. However, there was one thing he had guessed, Bumu Butai's feelings about him were really complicated, so complicated that he confused his mind after receiving his letter.
Bumu Butai did not reply to him. Cao Yue was not surprised, he planned to write to Bumu Butai again after a while, when the battle with Dolgon had any results, and continued to admonish. Cao Yue hoped. One day, when the Ming army regained Beijing, Bumu Butai could help him do something, at least, help him keep the Forbidden City. If Jiannu is defeated and escapes, it will definitely destroy the Forbidden City and even Beijing City, Cao Yue does not want this treasure of mankind to be destroyed, and Bumu Butai, as Fulin's mother, has the ability to do this.
Later, Cao Yue also put aside the matter of Bumu Butai for the time being, and devoted himself to the arrangement of the war that was about to start.
The war between the two sides soon began.
However, it was not Cao Yue's carefully arranged frontal position that took the lead in handing over the fire, but the canal area between Liaocheng and Jining. The soldiers of the Ninth Guards Division, who arrived at this time first, encountered Jiannu, who was preparing to make a detour from afar.
Because the defensive measures taken by the 9th Guards Division were the same as those on the front line of Liaocheng, they all dug trenches and deployed musketeers and artillery in the front-line positions. Although the 9th Guards Division lacked experience in combat and was not equipped with as many muskets and artillery as other Guards Divisions, the defensive positions they built by taking advantage of the terrain still managed to resist the rapid attack of Jiannu.
After paying the price of thousands of casualties, the 9th Guards Division successfully defeated the Jiannu who were preparing to attack Jiannu from this direction, and annihilated at least 3,000 Jiannu.
In fact, Jiannu lost the battle again, mainly because the strategy was not correct.
They didn't have to attack the carefully constructed positions of the Ninth Guards Division, they could make a detour to pass through a strip that was not defended by many Ming troops. Although it is said that the defense of the Ming army on the first line of the canal is very intensive, the number of troops is so large that it is impossible to achieve intensive defense on the whole line. The positions built by the various guard divisions were all in dangerous areas or on major communication routes. In order to achieve the best effect of the sneak attack, and in order to achieve results in the shortest possible time, Jiannu did not pass through the relatively weak defense of the Ming army, but used the traditional way of playing, to attack the main position of the Ming army, in a vain attempt to hit the Ming army hard, and then take advantage of the defeat of the Ming army, follow the pursuit, and create greater chaos.
In the past, Jiannu attacked in this way, and every time he could achieve unexpected results, the Ming army would be wiped out.
The upper echelons of Jiannu still believed that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not strong, and Cao Yue personally commanded the men, but he relied on the equipment and firearms, so he could achieve victory. It wasn't for Cao Yue's personal leadership, the number of firearms and equipment was not large, and the combat effectiveness was definitely not strong, so they could still achieve victory.
Luo Luohun, the eldest son of Yue Tuo, who commanded the attack, although he fought bravely, he could only be regarded as a person with developed limbs and a simple mind, and the defeat in the battle of Liaocheng made him hold his breath and want to wash away the shame of Liaocheng with a victory. Therefore, he fought a tough battle with the Ninth Guards Division, and the result was heavy losses, and he was unable to break through the Ming army's defensive line, so he could only flee in defeat.
However, if they want to complete the task assigned by Dolgon and find a way to destroy the artillery and ammunition of the Ming army, they can only adopt this method of fighting, and they cannot avoid the real and make up for it. The generals who commanded the operation, after encountering the Ming army, took it for granted that they must find a way to attack and destroy the artillery and ammunition of the Ming army, and they did not know whether the Ming army encountered was the main force.
Jiannu's other sneak attacks were almost the same as Luo Luohun's, and when the Ming troops from all walks of life were fully prepared, there was no way to raid the Ming army's musket array. Some of the more nimble-minded people, after suffering setbacks, chose to surprise from the weak defense of the Ming army, although they made a breakthrough, but the task given by Dorgon could not be completed. Not to mention the destruction of the Ming army's firearms and explosives storage site, there is no chance to connect the Ming army's camp.
After the sneak attack on the men and horses from all directions set off, he commanded the main army according to the established plan to advance to the front line of Dezhou and Linqing, preparing to fight to the death with the men and horses commanded by Cao Yue. (To be continued.) )
