In the military tent. ∷∷，

Dolgon, who had a blue face, looked at Du Du, who was standing on the opposite side and hung his head, and he was angry, and he carefully organized a large-scale attack, but it ended up in such a situation, the surrendered Ming army suddenly counterattacked, and all turned their guns, not only let the well-organized attack fail, but also made the Eight Banners sergeants who supervised the war suffer heavy losses, after all, it was 20,000 Ming troops, and the two thousand Eight Banners sergeants who were responsible for supervising the war, the losses exceeded seventy percent, and the Han army under the command of Kong Youde and others also had a lot of losses.

Originally, I wanted to give the Ming army stationed in the city a dismount, but unfortunately I was cocooned and gave myself a dismount.

Such a loss, in Dorgon's opinion, was unacceptable.

At this time, Dolgon finally understood a truth, the Ming army is also human, they may be afraid of death, they may choose to flee and surrender in order to save their own lives, but once you push them into a dead end and let them completely break out, then they will also choose to resist, and the damage caused by this resistance is fatal.

The facts are in front of us, the large-scale attack on Yanqing Prefecture City commanded by Du Du, because of the surrender of the Ming army, which led to a fiasco, the Ming army stationed in the city can be said to be unscathed, and the losses can not be calculated, but the attacking army has consumed too much strength to maintain the stability of the army, fortunately, the Ming army stationed in the city did not launch a sudden attack at this time, otherwise the losses will be greater.

This must be held accountable, the commander who attacked the city was Du Du, and Dolgon could only take his anger out on Du Du, although he also wanted to give Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and others a bad fight, but unfortunately he couldn't find a reason to blame.

"Du Du, this commander asks you to command the battle against the city well, you look at the situation now, the military law is ruthless. When such a major matter occurs, it is impossible for Ben Shuai not to deal with it. ”

As soon as Dorgon finished speaking, Dudu, who had his head down, raised his head and spoke.

"Marshal, the last general has been wronged, and the last general has always tried his best to supervise the war, and such a thing happened. The last general was also unwilling, and the last general wondered if Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming had done something unseemly that led to the mutiny of the surrender......ed Ming army."

"Nonsense, what evidence do you have for saying this, there have already been surrendered Ming troops who have defected, do you still want to force the Han army to defect as well, can you take responsibility for such a situation."

Du Du was a little frustrated, but continued to speak.

"Dashuai, the last general thinks that the Han people are not credible. The last general felt that the marshal should also pay more attention to the movements of the Han army......"

Dolgon was angry, he understood Huang Taiji's good intentions, and he thought that Du Du, who followed the battle, could also understand, but unfortunately all his hopes were in vain, and it seemed that he wanted to make the Manchu nobles of the Great Qing Kingdom believe in and use the Han people, which was not something that could be done in a short time.

"Du Du, what do you mean by this, is it possible that Jin Shuai also has to strictly guard Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and others. Is Ben Shuai also going to force them to rebel, don't think that Ben Shuai doesn't know anything. The general soldier who surrendered to the Ming army, but said a few words of complaint, the Niu Lu Ezhen you sent killed such a general soldier in front of everyone, do you know what the consequences of doing this are, the fighting has not yet begun, and the Ming army is against us. ”

The more Dorgon spoke, the angrier he became. simply walked in front of Du Du.

"You led the army to annihilate the front army reinforced by the Ming army, which was originally a huge victory, and it also destroyed the fighting spirit of the Ming army stationed in Yanqing Prefecture, so that other Ming troops did not dare to come to reinforcements, especially the 20,000 Ming troops who surrendered. I'm afraid that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty has given a heavy blow, but such a good opportunity, you haven't been able to grasp it, you look down on the surrendered Ming army in your heart, this is understandable, Ben Shuai also looks down on them, but you can't show it between actions and words, since he used them to attack the city, then you have to fully believe them, but you see how you do it. ”

"Do you know what the consequences of doing this are, those Ming troops who defend the city, they saw this scene on the battlefield with their own eyes, they feel the same way, the next must be to defend the city, do you still think that they can surrender, you defeated the front army of the Ming army, the results of hard work have come to naught in an instant, you let Ben Shuai say what is good about you."

"At this time, I am still suspicious of Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and others, do you think that the trouble you caused is still small, Ben Shuai is already thinking about how to report this matter to the emperor and how to reduce your guilt, but what do you think of." ……

Du Du finally bowed his head completely, what Dolgon said was reasonable, he couldn't refute it, he didn't think so much when fighting, especially when supervising the attack of the surrendered Ming army, he adopted the method of forced attack, and did not allow any Ming sergeant to retreat, and all the retreating sergeants were killed, and he did not ask the sergeants of the Manchu Eight Banners, the Mongolian left and right battalions and the Han army to respond, just after an artillery attack, the charge began.

In the process of charging, the Ming army has suffered very heavy losses, some sergeants retreated, Du Du mercilessly ordered the supervision team to be killed, which further angered the Ming army's anger, when the Ming army obediently charged forward, arrived at the moat, Du Du was still a little complacent, as for the heavy casualties of the Ming army, he didn't care at all.

It wasn't until the chief soldier and the general of the Ming army were killed that Du Du realized that something was wrong with the situation, but unfortunately at this time, he was powerless to take any measures, and watched the Ming army turn the gun.

The fight between each other was tragic, the dying and struggling Ming army, broke out with great lethality, more than 2,000 warriors of the Eight Banners of the Supervisory Team, simply could not resist the counterattack of the Ming army, was surrounded in an instant, if it was not for Du Du quickly dispatched a large army to suppress, maybe the more than 2,000 Eight Banners warriors of the Supervisory Team would all die.

The losses were still very large, although the Ming army was all killed, but the overseer team lost more than 1,500 people, and the Han army that participated in the suppression also lost nearly 2,000 people, and the loss of more than 3,000 people was undoubtedly a major mistake of Du Du's command, and it was this responsibility that Dolgon wanted to pursue.

Du Du's thought of shifting the blame to Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and others was obviously untenable, and he had no obvious evidence that the Ming army's defection had anything to do with the three of them, and the final result could only be regarded as a major mistake in his command of the operation.

"The last general knows that he is wrong, no matter how the commander punishes him, the last general is willing to accept it."

Dorgon waved his hand.

"The war is underway, Ben Shuai will not do anything for the time being, but you have to remember to atone for your sins, this command of the siege battle, Ben Shuai is personally responsible, you prepare well, or lead the front army to raise more grain and grass."

Dolgon said this, so that Du Du was a little anxious, the front army he led, the main task was to attack all over the North Zhili, raise more grain and grass, loot more money, the Chinese army led by Dolgon, mainly responsible for besieging Yanqing City, looking for the right time to attack, but when Dolgon decided to concentrate on taking Yanqing City, the front army led by Du Du returned, concentrated all the forces, and fought to take Yanqing City in one go.

"Dashuai, at the critical moment of attacking Yanqing City, the last general will not be able to leave."

Dolgon's expression became serious, and he looked at Dudu for a moment before speaking.

"Du Du, do you think Yanqing Prefecture City can be taken in one go, the failure of this attack has a great impact, if you want to take Yanqing Prefecture City, it is not so easy, and the commander's combat deployment will also be adjusted."

Dudu looked at Dolgon and was surprised.

"The Ming army in Yanqing Prefecture City can not hold back the army, and the looting of all parts of Beizhili will continue, Ben Shuai has time, Yanqing Zhou City has more than 100,000 Ming troops, Ben Shuai does not believe that they have enough food and grass, as long as they are short of food and grass, they will be in chaos, and Ben Shuai's opportunity will come."

"Du Du, the front army has expanded from 50,000 to 80,000, and you are responsible for commanding, including 20,000 Han troops, and this commander hopes that you can seize the opportunity to sweep through Beizhili."

"The last will obey."

Yanqing Prefecture City, State Government.

Hong Chengchou's face was solemn, and many officers, as well as officials such as Zhizhou and Tongzhi of the state government, sat on the left and right sides respectively.

"In the morning battle, you all saw it with your own eyes, although it was said that the attack of the Houjin Tartars was a fiasco, but Ben Shuai was not happy at all, Ben Shuai still regretted it a little, in fact, when the Hou Jin Tatars killed each other, Ben Shuai should have ordered the army to go out of the city to attack."

As soon as Hong Chengchou's words fell, the chief soldier of the Longmen Guard spoke.

"Great marshal, the last general thinks that the attack should not be launched, the strength of the Houjin Tartars is far above us, if we rashly open the city gate to attack, the Houjin Tartars take advantage of the situation to launch a general attack, the losses will be extremely heavy, and it is even possible to lose the city......"

Hong Chengchou waved his hand.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter, the brutality of the Houjin Tartars, you have seen it with your own eyes, after the surrender of the Jin Tartars, the fate of the Jin Tartars does not want to say more, after this attack, the Jin Tartars suffered a fiasco, presumably they need to adjust the time, take advantage of this time, let's discuss, what should be the focus on next, Yanqing Prefecture City is surrounded by the Houjin Tartars, we don't know any news from the outside world, this situation can not last for a long time, this Shuai still has to send scouts to find out the situation in the capital, In this way, our defenses can be targeted. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement with Hong Chengchou's words.

"Houjin Tartar has just faced a fiasco, and there may be a breach in the defense, so the commander decided to send scouts tonight to find an opportunity to break out, no matter what the cost, to open up contact with the imperial court."

Looking at everyone's expressions, Hong Chengchou was still pleased, this time the battle made everyone understand the fact that the Houjin Tatars treated the Han people brutally, and everyone had to fight to defend Yanqing City, which was the only way out.

This truth, if it is said by Hong Chengchou, the effect may not be very good, but seeing the tragic situation of surrendering the Ming army with their own eyes, everyone has a personal feeling, and they really understand the meaning of desperate resistance, in the final analysis, this is for themselves.
