Chapter 564: It's Too Late to Wake Up
>,!
When the scouts were dispatched, Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief. ↖,
As soon as Dudu was exchanged, Dorgon let him to the barracks.
Du Du's face was defeated, the previous pride was gone, and Dolgon, who was already in a bad mood, saw Du Du's demeanor, he was even more annoyed, he reprimanded Du Du mercilessly, the 40,000 army that entered Baoding Mansion, less than 1,000 people came back one after another, and the rest of the consequences are needless to say, even if they can desperately escape during the battle, if they can't reach Yanqing Prefecture within a few days, they basically can't survive.
Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, this sentence is simple to say, and it takes a process to really accept defeat.
In the process of Dolgon's loud shouting and reprimand, Dudu's spirit finally improved, and when Dolgon talked about the excitement and indignation, Dudu actually shed tears.
The most painful thing is Du Du, who watched tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers being surrounded and beheaded, but was unable to organize the evacuation, this feeling of failure was the biggest blow to the generals, and being captured by the Zheng family army would become a lifelong shame.
Du Du's identity is inherently special, and if something like this happens, it is impossible to raise his head after returning to Shenyang.
Fortunately, Dudu was still awake and knew what Dorgon wanted to know.
After Dorgon had ceased his rage, Dudu spoke, tears streaming down his cheeks as he spoke.
At this time, Dorgon didn't speak, and he still understood Dudu's inner pain.
Du Du's narration was a little messy, to the point of chattering, half telling the story of the battle, and half venting his inner anguish.
Dolgon listened to it rarely, and he didn't interrupt as Dudu spoke.
Du Du's inner anguish. Dolgon didn't particularly care, he focused on listening to Du Du talk about the combat effectiveness of the Zheng family army, and when Du Du told that the Zheng family army sergeant was holding an arquebus that could be fired in rain and snow, and the frequency of firing was very fast and the lethality was huge, Dolgon's face changed.
While Dudu was still speaking, Dorgon stood up. Walking back and forth non-stop.
As soon as Dudu finished speaking, Dorgon spoke, without the slightest expression on his face.
"Can you be sure that in addition to the cavalry, the Zheng family army also has very powerful firearms."
At other times, Dolgon asked such words directly, and Du Du must have been furious, which was a suspicion and insult to him, but at this time. Du Du doesn't have such confidence, but he still has grief and anger in his heart.
"Du Du is already a sinner in the Great Qing Kingdom, and he will never dare to lie in front of the prince, and the courage of the Zheng family army is something Du Du has never seen in his life."
"Dudu, I didn't mean to question you, I just wanted to know the real situation."
Dorgon gave a brief explanation, asking a second question.
"Have you ever met Zheng Xunrui?"
Du Du shook his head. His expression was a little gloomy, and he was captured by the Zheng family. But he was not able to meet Zheng Xunrui, the commander of Zheng Jiajun, he only saw Yang He, the deputy chief soldier of Zheng Jiajun, this Yang He is the person who captured him alive, and it is impossible to forget it for the rest of his life.
Seeing Du Du's demeanor, Dolgon's anger rushed up again.
"Du Du, you are the Anping Baylor of the Great Qing Kingdom. It's just a failure, do you just want to collapse, is it like a woman chattering, I just heard you say so much, not a word. Do you know why, I know the pain in your heart, give you a chance to vent, but do you think I will always give you a chance, when did the warriors of my Great Qing Kingdom bow their heads in the face of difficulties, you cheer me up, or I'm not welcome. ”
Dorgon, shaking out these words, walked out of the house.
Du Du stayed alone in the house, stunned for a while, and finally slowly walked out of the house.
Dolgon wanted to cheer up Dudu, but it was not so easy, Dudu had suffered a huge blow, and it would be impossible for him to recover for a while, not to mention Dudu, Abatai and Azig were not so perked up now.
Dolgon's attention has been diverted from Dudu's body, and that's what he can do, as for whether Dudu can cheer up, it depends on himself, and Dorgon can only stimulate it verbally.
Dolgon thought of Turai and Geng Zhongming, who were still in Hejian Province.
The scouts had been sent out for two days, and had not yet received any news, and from Changping Prefecture to Yanqing Prefecture, they had not found any trace of the Zheng Jiajun or the Ming army, which already made Dolgon feel bad.
Zheng Jiajun will never stop acting, and will never let go of the horse because he defeated Du Du and Geng Zhongming, Du Du said so many situations, although he can't fully believe it for the time being, but the arquebus that can fire in the rain and snow, as well as the particularly powerful artillery, this should be true, Du Du has no need to lie.
The Zheng family army was originally unusually brave, Chongzhen defeated Azig and Abatai in nine years, captured Abatai alive, Chongzhen occupied Lushun and Fuzhou and other places in ten years, captured Azig alive, and killed the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army under the Zheng family's army, which has exceeded 50,000 people, such an army is the nemesis of the Eight Banners.
Dolgon led an army of 150,000 into the pass and planned a grand strategy, once this strategy was implemented, it would be a groundbreaking future for the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately all this no longer existed, because of the appearance of the Zheng army.
Dolgon's body suddenly shuddered slightly, and he turned and walked quickly towards the room.
Dudu, who had just come out of the house, couldn't dodge it and collided with Dolgon.
Dorgon looked at Dudu, still expressionless.
"Dudu, you come in with me."
On the map, the prefectures and counties of Beizhili are clearly marked, and many of the circles are cities captured by the Eight Banners Army or the Han Army, and now these circles are particularly dazzling.
"Du Du, tell me again, when you encountered the siege of the Zheng family's army, the more detailed, the better."
Dolgon asked Dudu to recall the past battles, this is Dudu's pain, it is best not to say it, but seeing that Dolgon's expression is very wrong, Dudu still speaks.
Dolgon's face slowly turned red, then pale.
"The intelligence detected by the scouts shows that after the Zheng Jiajun fought in Gaoyang and Baoding Fucheng, they went to Zhuozhou, which shows that the Zheng Jiajun is going to Yanqing Prefecture to fight, or to the capital to report the merits, but there is no news from the capital for a long time, and the shadow of the Zheng Jiajun has not been found from Changping to Yanqing, Du Du, where do you say the Zheng Jiajun will go."
Du Du stared at the map with wide eyes, his mind was so confused that he couldn't think of any of this.
Dorgon looked at Dudu and pushed Dudu a little anxiously.
"Will Zheng Xunrui suddenly change his mind, after the Zheng family army arrived in Zhuozhou, he changed the route of the march and entered the Hejian Mansion from the direction of Gu'an Dacheng......"
After Dorgon said these words, Dudu's body suddenly trembled.
"Lord, the Zheng family army is very likely to enter Hejian Mansion, Turai and Geng Zhongming may not know the news, the last general once wrote a letter to Turai, asking Turai to divide his troops to fight, Turai was originally led by the third and fourth armies to fight together, the last general thought that the Ming army was weak, and asked Du Du to divide the 40,000 army into three or four roads, respectively, to attack the Fuzhou county of Hejian Province......
Dolgon's hand trembled and pointed in the direction of Riverhouse.
"I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it a long time ago, Zheng Jiajun must have entered Hejian Mansion, Turai is in danger, why do I always want Turai to come in the direction of Yanqing Prefecture......"
At this moment, Dolgon, like a sleepy beast, walked back and forth in the room, the speed became faster and faster, Dudu, who was standing on the side, looked at Dolgon, did not dare to speak, he knew Dolgon's temper.
Soon, Dorgon stopped and walked to the front of the map again.
"The only way is to lead a large army to meet Tulai, otherwise there will be big trouble, and there will be heavy losses that our Great Qing Kingdom cannot bear."
Dudu looked at Dolgon, and he didn't know what to say, and he couldn't speak.
The Houjin Tartars, who were stationed outside the city of Yanqingzhou, suddenly rose up and disappeared overnight.
After Hong Chengchou received the report, he couldn't believe it, he came to the city wall, looked at it with a telescope for a long time, between the dense barracks, he didn't see any Houjin Tartars, it was very quiet, and the Houjin Tartars didn't even have time to remove the barracks, and they all disappeared overnight.
Hong Chengchou was full of doubts, in fact, he had entered the most difficult time, the army's grain and grass were about to be exhausted, and it was impossible to support it for a long time.
Why did the Golden Tartars suddenly evacuate at this time.
Hong Chengchou, who didn't know anything about the outside world, really couldn't understand the reason.
The time of the day passed, Hong Chengchou did not take any action, after the night came, he sent scouts, out of the city to investigate, to see if the Houjin Tartars had really evacuated, whether they had set up an ambush circle, waiting for him to lead the army to evacuate Yanqing City, and then kill a horse gun.
Hong Chengchou didn't dare to gamble, he was carrying an army of more than 100,000 on his shoulders, and a slight carelessness could lead to disastrous consequences, and there was already a lesson from Xiong Wencan in front of him.
The scouts carefully reconnoitred, there was indeed no movement in the barracks, and when they entered the barracks, they saw that it was empty and there was nothing, which showed that the Houjin Tartars had indeed withdrawn.
As for where the Golden Tartars retreated, and whether they set up an ambush around it, the scouts don't know.
In the middle of the night, Hong Chengchou got the news of the scout's report, and after a little thought, Hong Chengchou ordered the scout to go out to reconnoiter again, this time to reconnoiter within a radius of ten miles, to see if there was an ambush circle set up by the Houjin Tartars.
Until dawn the next day, Hong Chengchou, who had not slept all night, got the report of the scout again, and found no trace of the Houjin Tartar within a radius of ten miles.
After determining the information of the scouts, Hong Chengchou decisively gave an order, and more than 100,000 troops left Yanqing Prefecture City and headed in the direction of the capital, and he judged that something must have happened. (To be continued......)
