The mood of everyone was very heavy, and many people, including Azig, Shuotuo, Sakhalian and others, although they did not see the battle situation with their own eyes, but the bloody facts were there, nearly 20,000 Mongols and Han troops were killed under the city of Datong, and even Chahan was killed at the hands of the Ming army. It can be said that this is the heaviest loss in one of the several southern expeditions of the Qing army, and there is no one.

Everyone knows what kind of character Duoduo is, this guy who rarely loses battles, led the army to attack Datong and failed twice under Cao Yue, and both of them were defeated so badly, almost all the people and horses besieging the city were wiped out, which shows how terrifying the combat effectiveness of the Ming army led by Cao Yue was.

No one wants to meet such an opponent.

Although Hauge gloated, he was also deeply shocked.

Haoge's current mood can be said to be very complicated, the last time his men and horses attacked the Ru*Feng Mountain guarded by Cao Yue and Cao Bianjiao brothers, the men and horses under his command suffered heavy losses. At that time, he suffered a heavy loss, and the pressure was very high, and his status was also reduced, and he believed that the inability to defeat Dorgon in the struggle for the throne had a lot to do with the defeat in this battle.

Duoduo suffered two consecutive defeats under Cao Yue, which was even worse than his defeat, which made him feel a little less pressure. It's not that he is incompetent, but that his opponent is too strong, and even Duoduo, whom Dolgon has always admired the most, has been defeated so badly that no one can point fingers at his last failure, unless Cao Yue is defeated, or Datong is captured.

Of course, Haoge did not admit defeat, in the last battle of Ru*Fengshan, he realized that the Cao brothers' combat effectiveness was very strong, which no one could take lightly, and he also hoped that one day he could defeat the Cao brothers, and earn back face for himself with the shame of the snow day.

But this is not now, it is better for Cao Yue to be in trouble, or after his men and horses have suffered heavy losses, he will go and grab a bargain, that is good!

Duoduo's defeat again gave Hauge the confidence to speak, but he knew that it was still very difficult to defeat Cao Yue now, so after standing up to accuse Duoduo of incompetence and asking Dorgon to blame Duoduo heavily, he didn't stand up and say anything.

He was waiting for an opportunity to kill Dorgon again, and by the way, Dorgon would lose some face.

When Dolgon asked everyone how to break through Datong City, he finally couldn't help it, stood up and said: "Prince Rui, Prince Yu once crossed the sea before the war, and he will definitely be able to lead the army to defeat Cao Yue and break through Datong City. Now that his vow has not been fulfilled, the king feels that he should continue to let Prince Yu's army attack Datong until Datong is broken. Prince Rui is resourceful, and Prince Yu is the best brother, and he will definitely help Prince Yu to complete this willingness, and we will watch how your brothers fight Datong and annihilate Cao Yue's Datong army. ”

Hauge knew what it meant to fall into a trap, and in front of so many Qing elites, he had to humiliate Dorgon and the Dodor brothers to save his face. Dolgon's reluctance to punish Dorgon just now had already made him very unhappy, and he was even more reluctant to gnaw on this hard bone, so he pushed this problem onto Dorgon and the Dodor brothers in front of everyone. The Zhenglan Banner he led was seriously injured, and today he also took the opportunity to keep his men and horses away from the battlefield, and let Dolgon and Duoduo's men and horses go to fight Cao Yue.

Hauge was a man with little strategy, and although he knew about the struggle when it came to profit, he couldn't come up with a good plan. Today, taking advantage of the disastrous defeat of Dorgon, he said such things in a hurry, the purpose of which was to fight Dorgon and the Dodor brothers and preserve his strength, but what he said was too direct, the meaning was self-explanatory, and he also completely exposed his thoughts that he and Dorgon could not live in peace so far. Now that Dorgon is powerful and has been appointed as the "regent", except for Hauge, who dares to confront him, no one else has the guts.

Therefore, after Hauge's words, except for a few Hauge's hardcore support, no one else stood up to echo it.

And his words directly annoyed Dolgon, and in front of everyone, Dolgon snorted with his nose to show his anger.

Hauge thought that his goal had been achieved, but he didn't say anything, and retreated to his place with a smug face.

As soon as the discussion began, Hauge and Dorgon had an argument, and the others did not dare to express their opinions casually.

In the end, it was Azig who stood up and said something more profound and righteous under the signal of Dolgon's eyes: "Everyone, our most important problem now is how to defeat Cao Yue, the first wave of attacks has failed, and we need to discuss a solution now, instead of fighting with each other." Prince Su has always been known for his bravery, and he has fought with Cao Yue, I believe you can give some advice. ”

Azig is not very good at brain, and it is good to be able to say such things today. However, his words annoyed Haoge, and Haoge immediately stood up and said that his defeat to Cao Yue under Songshan City that day was not due to improper command, but because the Ming army had powerful firearms. He felt very unfair that he had been severely punished, and that now that he had been defeated worse than him, he had not been punished.

Of course, Azig immediately retorted, but Duoduo did not show weakness and stood up to argue, and the big tent suddenly became a place of bickering. Eventually, Dolgon couldn't help it, slapped the table hard, and ended the argument with a shout of rage. Haug and Azig, who had retreated, were still unconvinced of each other, glaring at each other in anger like two fighting cocks that had been forcibly pulled apart.

At this time, Ning Wan, a minister of the Ming Dynasty who Dolgon relied on very much, stood up and said: "Master, the slave thinks that we should attack Datong with all our strength and press all the men and horses to make it possible to break Datong." ”

As soon as I said this, everyone's eyes turned to him, and Dolgon also looked inquiring.

With so many people's eyes watching, Ning Wanshi suddenly felt the pressure, and hurriedly explained: "Master, the slave thinks that although there will be a lot of casualties in a large-scale attack, if you want to break through Datong in a short time, this is the only way." Our Qing army is a lone army, and there is not much grain and grass with us, so it is impossible to stay under Datong City for a long time. Moreover, we will finally attack Beijing this time, if we stay under Datong City for too long, the Ming army in Beijing will be strengthened, and the battle will be even more difficult to fight at that time!"

Another subordinate, Fan Wenchen, also stood up and supported Ning Wan's proposal: "Master, the slave thinks that what Gongfu said is good. When our red-coated cannons arrive, we will be able to storm the city with all our might. Our red-coated artillery is more powerful than that of the Ming army, as long as the red-coated cannons arrive, they can bombard Datong City, and when the time comes, they will be able to attack Datong City with all their might. ”

"What the two gentlemen said is right!" After thinking about it, Dolgon finally nodded, "Then it's decided, the army will rest for a few days, surround Datong City, and wait for the red-clothed cannons to arrive, and start attacking the city with all their might, and everyone will press on it!"
