Chapter 427: You can't lose too cleanly
Chapter 427 Can't lose too cleanly
Hundreds of warships of the Ming Dynasty came to help, Huang Taiji walked back and forth in the sweat tent, things have developed to the point that he is least willing to see, the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the rain, to forcibly save Zhenjiang Fort.
"Great Khan, the people and horses on Jiang Xin......" Fan Wencheng saw Huang Taiji walking back and forth hesitantly, and immediately reminded Jiang Xin's people again.
Huang Taiji was reminded by Fan Wencheng, and stood at once, a large number of Ming Dynasty warships came, will the people and horses on Jiangxin Island withdraw or not? There are so many warships, enough to surround Jiangxin Island, there is no place to hide in that place on Jiangxin Island, and the people on it can only wait for death in addition to waiting for death......
Huang Taiji fell into a huge hesitation, whether to withdraw or not, it is still too late to withdraw, the rain has only fallen for a while, the river has just begun to rise, if you want to withdraw, it is still too late.
However, Huang Taiji is unwilling, if the people and horses on Jiangxin Island are withdrawn, then, the blockade of the river, even if it is completely over, will no longer be able to prevent the Ming Dynasty from reinforcing Zhenjiang Fort, once the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty arrive at Zhenjiang Fort, then, this battle of Zhenjiang Fort, he is a big gold, it is considered to be a loss, and it is a complete loss, which is more important, Huang Taiji can not easily make up his mind.
"Ju General" Huang Taiji yelled, a difficult choice, Huang Taiji didn't know how to choose.
……
The great Xiǎoxiǎo Baylor, the ministry will soon gather in the sweat tent, and the rain brought in from the outside will immediately make the sweat tent, which is still dry, wet.
“… I have just received a report from the downstream Kuaima that more than 200 warships of the Ming Dynasty have sailed into the Yalu River, and they will soon arrive at Linjiang Village......" Huang Taiji repeated the news.
This news "boom", exploded in this sweat tent, big Xiǎo Baylor, the generals discussed it one after another, this news, it is really amazing More than 200 warships can be connected from Zhenjiang Fort to Linjiang Village from beginning to end. As for how to deal with things on the water, none of the people of Houjin can say any good way.
"Okay, be quiet" Huang Taiji was overwhelmed by the news, he can't make a decision on this matter, he must let others make a decision, in case the war is lost, he can't resist alone.
When everyone saw Huang Taiji speak, they all quieted down and waited for Huang Taiji to speak.
Huang Taiji tried to make himself appear calm, so as not to infect others with the panic in his heart.
"Everyone, be quiet first, and listen to Xian Dou talk about the situation......" Huang Taiji tried his best to make himself appear calmer, withdraw or not withdraw the army, this decision is too difficult, withdraw or not withdraw, it is very likely to lead to huge losses, this kind of thing, Huang Taiji no longer has enough courage to give an order alone, Dajin is not his Huang Taiji's Dajin, if the loss is too great because of his decision as the Great Khan, I am afraid that his position as the Great Khan will not be stable.
Everyone turned their attention to Fan Wencheng, a Han man.
"Xiandou, you can tell you about Jiangxin Island......" Huang Taiji urged.
Fan Wencheng didn't hesitate for long, and began to calmly introduce the situation on Jiangxin Island.
“…… Ladies and gentlemen, according to the observation of the minions, now my Dajin is stationed on Jiangxin Island, it is very likely to be unsafe, and now it is already raining, after the rain, the river will definitely rise, Jiangxin Island will be completely separated, become an isolated island, and the Ming Dynasty has more than 200 warships, including more than 40 warships, it is estimated that there are a lot of cannons, if my Dajin people and horses are still staying on Jiangxin Island, there is no place to block this Jiangxin Island, once the Ming Dynasty's warships come, it will be extremely unfavorable to the people and horses stationed on Jiangxin Island......, the slave felt, Maybe we have to evacuate the people and horses on Jiangxin Island, taking advantage of the fact that the river is not very strong now, the people and horses can still flow over, if it is late, I am afraid that it will ......" Fan Wencheng calmly said the problem on Jiangxin Island.
This said, the presence of the big xiǎo Baylor, the ministry will be even more fryer.
"Great Khan, quickly retreat, that ghost place on Jiangxin Island, surrounded by water, the warships of the Ming Dynasty came up, isn't this a dead end?" A Xiǎo Baylor immediately shouted, for the warships of the Ming Dynasty, for the things on the water, the people of the Houjin, I can't wait to never meet them, how far they go.
"Great Khan, let's retreat, that place on Jiangxin Island, there is not even a place to shelter, isn't this sending our warriors to death? With so many warships from the Ming Dynasty coming, I'm afraid that place on Jiangxin Island will be untenable."
"The Great Khan should withdraw, it's too late to be late, we're on the water, nòng is just other people's ......",
Daxiǎo Baylor, the general began to be anxious, according to what Fan Wencheng said, staying on Jiangxin Island is a dead word Ah Huang Taiji is calmly waiting, waiting for someone to be blackened for him, if he speaks out at this time and orders a retreat, as soon as the reinforcements from Zhenjiangbao arrive, the battle will change even more, and when the time comes, he will have to bear the responsibility for this defeat.
"Wait......" A cold voice sounded, and the sweat tent immediately fell silent.
The one who spoke was none other than the second of the four Baylors of the Houjin Dynasty.
"Second brother, but I have something to say." Huang Taiji immediately asked, and said in his heart that he was really not wrong, this black cauldron, someone has to carry it for him.
"It's ......" Amin squinted his eyes and said, recently, Amin has been enchanted with Zhenjiang Fort, like driving the North Koreans to Zhenjiang Fort to die, it was done through his hands, for Zhenjiang Fort, his eyes are always red, he looks like he cannibalism, and he is thinking about how to capture Zhenjiang Fort, and how to do it after it is captured.
“…… Fourth brother, the people and horses on Jiangxin Island can't be withdrawn, this withdrawal, what should we do to block the river? Besides, withdraw, who will put the fireboat and rolling wood we prepared there? Don't you even have the means to do that? If we can't block the river, then why are we here in Zhenjiang Fort? Wait for the Ming people to send things into Zhenjiang Fort, so aren't we fighting in vain these days? Amin squinted, looked dissatisfied, and said hatefully.
Amin is the second of the four major beylers, and like Huang Taiji, he has the right to "sit facing south", so he sat next to Huang Taiji, squinted and said, the big xiǎo beyler in the sweat tent, the ministry will be silenced immediately.
"Second brother, the blockade of the river is important, but once the warships of the Ming Dynasty come, Jiangxin Island will have no way to retreat, when the time comes, the warships of the Ming Dynasty will surround Jiangxin Island, and the people and horses on Jiangxin Island will be a dead end" Huang Taiji can't make up his mind to withdraw or not to withdraw, this decision, withdrawal is also a loss, not withdrawing, also losing, Huang Taiji decided to throw this hot potato to others, and the second brother next to him is the best candidate, his second brother, always very bad with himself, I don't know why, it seems that there is an unspeakable, unexplained huge hatred for this Zhenjiang Fort, and the death of Zhenjiang Fort is the first priority, such as driving away the North Koreans, this kind of dirty work is all Amin rushed to do.
"It doesn't matter, how many cannons can be on those warships of the Ming Dynasty? Although there are many ships, they are all like goods, Ben Beile dares to conclude that this is just a bluff of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that we fought Jinning the year before last, Yuan Manzi had the full support of the Ming Court, and it was only twenty Hongyi cannons, this time, how much can Máo Wenlong come up with? Ben Belle doesn't believe it, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can still conjure dozens of mén cannons to ......, as long as we separate the people and horses on Jiangxin Island, then the warships of the Máo Wenlong Water Camp will have nothing to do with us, as long as we are hit by the heavy rain, Máo Wenlong will die...... "Amin is not like Huang Taiji, there are many secret agents in the Ming Dynasty, and he knows everything about the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally can't do things like Huang Taiji can avoid evil.
Huang Taiji quietly looked at his strategist Fan Wencheng, and found that Fan Wencheng was also looking at himself intentionally or unintentionally......
"Second brother, this is not what it used to be, it is said that the Ming Dynasty has made a lot of new cannons, I am afraid of ......, this time the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty are menacing, in my opinion, it is better to withdraw Jiang Xin's men and horses......" Huang Taiji saw that he already had a black pot on his back, and his mood relaxed a lot, and he began to pretend to persuade his second brother, one of the four major Baylors who also "sat facing south" with himself. In today's situation, he Huang Taiji has lost most of it, and the rest is to let himself not lose too badly, and by the way, integrate the inside of Dajin, and also look forward to a miracle, such as suddenly the rain stopped, for example, suddenly the warships of the Ming Dynasty overturned ......, until the last moment, Huang Taiji will not admit that he lost.
The development of things did not disappoint Huang Taiji, his second brother, perhaps out of the purpose of raising the bar with himself, or because of his hatred for Zhenjiang Fort, resolutely refused to withdraw the people on Lijiangxin Island.
"Fourth brother, Jiang Xin's men and horses can't be withdrawn, if they are withdrawn, we will completely lose this battle, and so many of our warriors who died here will not die in vain?" Amin has fallen into the devil, in addition to the hatred of Zhenjiang Fort, there is also dissatisfaction with his fourth brother, he has not taken his fourth brother Khan in his eyes, and he can't even take care of the respect on the surface, he used to shout in front of everyone, but now, he is already the fourth brother and the fourth brother, as if he is the Khan of Dajin. ,
"Alas, second brother, in this ......, Ben Khan always feels that it is better to withdraw the men and horses on this Jiangxin Island as soon as possible, and it is better to withdraw as soon as possible if they are placed in Jiangxin for the Ming Dynasty warships to fight, even if Zhenjiang Fort gets reinforcements, so what? This rain can't be every day, and the water can't rise every day, as long as these few days, when the river falls, we can still besiege the city, and we can still besiege Zhenjiang Fort......" Huang Taiji took himself out, this black cauldron has been quietly given to his second brother.
The big xiǎo Baylor in the sweat tent, the general watched the two of them arguing there, one was the Great Khan, and the other was one of the four great Baylors, and the big Baylor had the right to "pay the moon", all of them were not good, waiting for the two to fight for a high level.
"Hehe, fourth brother, rest assured, Ben Beile knows in his heart, Jiangxin Island can never be withdrawn, withdrawn, our battle, even if we lose completely, it will be a matter of the future in the future, now, don't we still have fireboats and rolling wood? If it is withdrawn, who will put these things, according to Ben Belle's, Máo Wenlong does not have many red-coated cannons at all, what are you afraid of him doing? In a place as big as Jiangxin Island, people and horses are hidden everywhere, with máo Wenlong's dozens of mén cannons, there is no way to take us, as long as we stay up until the rain is over, it will be my Dajin's world again...... "Amin's understanding of the Ming Dynasty is far from being as clear as Huang Taiji, and his impression of the Ming Dynasty is still a year or two ago, although there is a lot of new news from the Ming Dynasty, however, Amin does not believe that the Ming Dynasty can take how many cannons, how much of a threat it can have to the people and horses on Jiang Xin, according to his ideas, There are two or three times more cannons than when I fought Jinzhou back then, which is an overestimation of Máo Wenlong, that is only sixty or seventy cannons, and the warship also scores on both sides, in fact, there are only thirty mén cannons on one side, this cannon is against Jiangxin Island "so big", it is indeed not too much to worry about, according to Amin's idea, as long as the resistance is over until the rain ends, the war can be turned over.
Huang Taiji saw that someone had snatched the black cauldron and carried it, and he no longer fought about whether to withdraw or not.
"Okay, just according to the second brother, the people and horses on Jiangxin Island, don't withdraw for the time being, let's take a look before we talk ......" Huang Taiji will agree, and agree with Amin's statement, although he is a little unbearable in his heart, but, this black cauldron, someone must carry it, now this situation, obviously, whether he withdraws or not, he is a loser, withdraws, can no longer block the river, Zhenjiang Fort's reinforcements arrived at Zhenjiang Fort without hindrance, he doesn't want to carry this responsibility; If he doesn't withdraw, the people trapped in Jiangxin will definitely be seriously injured at that time, he doesn't want to carry this responsibility, and now someone has come out to carry the black pot for him, when the time comes, it is a wise decision to withdraw, if he does not withdraw, then the problem of Amin, he is still wise, virtuous, taking into account the overall situation, and can tolerate the Great Khan. Although he lost the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, he still gained something to integrate his Dajin internally.
In the sweat tent, Daxiǎo Baylor, and the generals all breathed a sigh of relief, these two had not yet fought to the point where they could not be opened.
Amin's squinting face seemed to have a triumphant smile.
"Okay, since the strategy has been set now, then let's act according to the strategy, Jiang Xin's men and horses will not be withdrawn for the time being, and it will depend on the situation, and the other places will still be arranged as before." Huang Taiji didn't say anything, anyway, he had already taken himself out and said calmly.
"喳" Daxiǎo Baylor, the general replied, and went out one after another.
……
Seeing that everyone went out, Huang Taiji lù let out a smile, this smile, with bitterness, although this matter, he picked himself out, but no matter what, it was his Dajin failure, it was all against his Dajin, however, there is still a difference, it is also unfavorable to Dajin, but for his disadvantage, it is indeed different, and now, he has reduced the disadvantage to him to the most xiǎo degree, and by the way, he has solved Amin, a person who is "on an equal footing" with himself.
"Xian Dou, tell me, now, what other way is there to deal with the warships of the Ming Dynasty? Is there any way to stop the warships of the Ming Dynasty from coming? Huang Taiji saw that everyone was gone, so he quietly asked his adviser.
“…… Back to the Great Khan, Wen Cheng thought that now the Ming Dynasty warships could be stopped from coming, except for God, it was still God......" Fan Wencheng thought for a long time and said.
"Oh, what's that mean?" Huang Taiji asked puzzled.
"Back to the Great Khan, the warships of the Ming Dynasty want to come up, need to rely on the wind, if the heavens shine on my Dajin, the wind stops, then, those warships will be difficult to come up, although there are still some centipede ships, but, centipede ships can carry things must be limited, Wen Cheng has observed this section of the waterway from Linjiang Village to Zhenjiang Fort, less than twenty miles, the waterway is narrower, the water flow is more urgent than elsewhere, if there is no wind, or the wind is weak, or the wind is wrong, this section of the waterway, will be able to prevent most of the Ming Dynasty warships to come ......" Fan Wencheng said. ,
“…… In other words, it depends on whether God will help you when the time comes? Huang Taiji asked.
"Yes, Great Khan," Fan Wencheng said.
"Then if God favors you, wouldn't Jiang Xin's men and horses not have to be withdrawn?" Huang Taiji asked again.
"It's okay to be a big sweater, even if God favors it, it can't stop Máo Wenlong's centipede boats, those boats don't need to rely on the wind, there is no wind, they can still come up, and the people in Jiangxin ......" Fan Wencheng is not optimistic about Dajin's ability on the water, and he always feels empty in his heart, and he always feels inappropriate about stationing in Jiangxin.
Before he finished speaking, there was another noise outside: "Report ......", a long shout, breaking the silence in the rain.
Listening to the anxious shouts outside, Huang Taiji said badly.
"How's it going?" Huang Taiji asked impatiently.
"Report to the master, it's not good, the warships of the Ming Dynasty have hit, and on those warships, I am afraid that there are no less than two hundred mén cannons, which have already driven to Linjiang Village, and now they are firing in all directions, ready to go up......" The cavalry who gave the order was covered with mud, his whole body was already soaked, and the rain on his face covered his panicked expression.
A thunderbolt exploded in the sky, and it exploded with a bang.
Huang Taiji felt that this thunderbolt was like splitting on himself, no less than 200 cannons, or far underestimating the cannons of the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng fiercely, and found that Fan Wencheng's face was also full of cannons that frightened the Ming Dynasty, which was too much......
Huang Taiji barely calmed his mind and warned himself not to panic, not to luàn, the more this is the case, the more he must calm down.
……
Didn't think about it for long.
"Let's go ......" Huang Taiji finished speaking, he went out of the sweat tent, outside the sweat tent, there were many Baylor and generals gathered outside the sweat tent, waiting for Huang Taiji's dispatch, hearing the news that came, they were all dumbfounded, and they were even more surprised to see their own Khan rushing out, and then watched their Khan step on the horse, and rushed into the rain without looking back.
The Great Khan was dispatched, and more and more people and horses followed, Daxiǎo Baylor, and the generals followed Huang Taiji to run wildly in the rain.
Amin just got the news that the people of the Ming Dynasty had at least more than 200 mén cannons firing, and their power was really landslide and unstoppable, remembering the ...... of the people and horses he had just said in the sweat tent that he would not withdraw the heart of the river, his slanted eyes were full of anger and resentment, and he also followed the team, running wildly in the muddy rain, to see with his own eyes what was going on, whether there were really 200 mén cannons.
……
Zhenjiang Fort.
The rain has been falling, washing the black and brown city walls, and after washing, you can still see a hint of red in the water that flows out.
The fighting has long since stopped, and in this rain it is simply impossible to storm the city. Zhenjiang Fort finally ushered in the rare silence in the past few days.
In the rain, Máo Wenlong wore a cloak and brought his relatives with him, and the generals checked the situation.
"It's raining," Máo said with a smile, his beard had not been washed for many days, and the rain washed over Máo's black face, taking the sludge away, and his face looked cleaner than before.
"Hey......, father, it's finally quiet" máo Da followed Máo Wenlong closely, and also smiled.
"Yes, Dashuai, it's raining, Lord Lei, it's time to act, hehe, did Dashuai hear it? This is faintly, as if he is firing a cannon......" Zhang Heng also let the rain wash his face, and from time to time he rubbed his face with his hands, and his face, which had not been washed for many days, could rub off a layer of mud, and said happily while rubbing the mud.
"Hehehe, Staff Officer Zhang is not wrong, estimate that the downstream is in action, hehehe, this time, the Tartar lost ......, I just hope that the rain will not stop too early......" Máo Wenlong said happily, it rained, this big bet, he won eighty.
"Hey...... what's that? It seems that there are a lot of Tartars running downstream...... it seems that it can't be Huang Taiji...... "Máo Taizheng held a clairvoyant mirror to observe the situation of the mountain col in the distance, from the col, it seems that you can see some galloping figures, on this rainy day, so many gorgeously dressed Tartars are running wildly, which naturally attracts Máo's attention.
"Oh, I'll see." Máo Wenlong also raised his clairvoyant mirror and observed. All the people who had telescopes in their hands raised them up to observe.
"Hehe, what should I be, estimate mō, the two Qincha are moving downstream, estimating mō, it's scared of the Tartars, the Tartars are going to see what is going on, hum, hundreds of cannons, I'm afraid the Tartars can't think of it if they want to break their heads......" Máo Wenlong only looked at it for a while, then put away the clairvoyant mirror, and said with a smile.
Everyone laughed.
