Huang Taiji withdrew very simply, he directly led people to Dandong, and there was no tentative attack at all. Receiving the information of Huang Taiji's retreat, Wang Dalun gave full play to the strategy of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and chasing me, and rushed forward directly with people.

When Wang Dalun came to Dandong City, he saw that Dandong City was raised by Huang Taiji again, and the city was full of flags. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, order to go down, let the soldiers set up camp first!" Wang Dalun looked at the head of the city and calmly commanded.

Early the next morning, the well-fed soldiers began to line up, today Wang Dalun was ready to launch a tentative attack, Wang Dalun looked at the energetic soldiers, nodded, and then called Shang Kexi, and said softly: "This time is just a test, there is no need for too many casualties, and after the shelling, first use the musket to go up to the battle!" ”

"I understand, the last general and the brothers have thanked the handsome for their loving heart!" Shang Kexi clasped his fists and saluted, and then prepared to order the soldiers to start attacking.

Huang Taiji at the head of the city saw that the other party was about to attack, and he ordered: "Everyone pay attention to the shelling of the Dongjiang army, don't put so many people at the head of the city, go down!" ”

When Huang Taiji just withdrew from the city, he heard a scream in the air, and then there were bursts of explosions from the city, Huang Taiji listened to the violent explosion, and sighed and said to the people around him: "The firepower of the other party's flowering bomb is too fierce, and I want to have this thing in Houjin." Otherwise, it's too much of a loss! ”

Tong Weiguo, as the controller of Houjin's artillery army, hurriedly added on the side: "King Khan, rest assured, our people have already contacted the Francophone people, and after some negotiations, they are willing to provide us with flowering shells, but the price is a bit expensive, it costs ten taels of silver!" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive, it's important to have it! You can go and make an account with the Franc man, as long as they are willing to provide the skills of making flowering bullets and muskets, we are willing to provide 100,000 taels of silver as a reward. The loss of the warriors of my Dajin Kingdom is too great for eating firearms. No matter how big the price is. Ben Khan is willing to buy! Huang Taiji interrupted Tong Weiguo's words and ordered categorically.

"Yes! The slave knows the way! Minions: This is to put people in touch with those Franco! "Tong Weiguo, as the earliest Han Eight Banner Bannerman, not only does not feel ashamed of the title of slave, but feels that it is a kind of honor.

In the kung fu of the two talking. The shelling stopped. Then the city shouted: "The musketeers of the Ming army have come up!" ”

Hear a warning from the city. The main general defending the city hurriedly transferred the archers, and for fighting with the musketeers of the Ming army, Houjin's longbowmen did not show weakness at all.

Soon. The roar of muskets came from the top of the wall, and the shouts of the soldiers defending the city began to sound above the city, sometimes to send arrows up, and then to quickly carry the wounded down. Huang Taiji listened to this noisy voice, but there was no reaction at all, and after a while, he ordered: "If the other party has not attacked the city, don't come over and wake up Ben Khan, Ben Khan will go and rest first!" ”

As if he had a heart, Wang Dalun looked at it and also instructed: "Let everyone fight for another half an hour, and then Mingjin will withdraw the troops, and I will also go and rest!" ”

In this way, the commanders of both sides did not continue to watch the battle, leaving only the soldiers to shoot repeatedly between the city, and the fight was very happy. After a while, Shang Ke was pleased to see that there would be no progress today, and after the opponent's defensive level was also understood, he began to order people to withdraw his troops.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was dark, and the sound of crickets outside rang out, seeing that Wang Dalun woke up, Shang Kexi and others hurriedly came to visit, Wang Dalun took a big bite of hot noodles and asked: "How is the situation?" ”

"Now that we have figured out the opponent's defensive level, if we really want to capture this city, it is conservatively estimated that there may be about 20,000 casualties!" Shang Kexi hurriedly told the situation summarized by several generals today.

"Twenty thousand? I hate such a big number, and I ordered it to go down and let everyone make a temporary truce, and we won't fight! Wang Dalun muttered, slurred and said, he was struggling with noodles, put some chili peppers he cultivated into it, this noodle is so cool!

"Dashuai, you said you weren't ready to attack the city?" Shang Kexi hurriedly confirmed, he suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

"You heard it right, it's just not going to attack the city!" Wang Dalun confirmed while pulling the noodles.

"Then I will order the soldiers to hurry up and build siege equipment!" Shang Kexi hurriedly spoke.

"Let's just make two of them, just scare Huang Taiji, if the soldiers are bored, you can organize drills!"

"Drill?"

"Yes! Didn't I make it clear? Wang Dalun looked up at Shang Kexi and said.

"Yes, the last general will order it!" Shang Kexi muttered in his heart as he walked, what is this called, bring everyone over and leave the city without fighting, and play exercises under the city, in this case, it is better to withdraw the troops and go back.

Under Wang Dalun's strange order, the frightened Eight Banners went up to the city the next day, and when they were ready to meet the shelling, they suddenly found that the enemy camp under the city was very quiet, and only occasionally saw a few soldiers carrying logs cut from the distant woods into the camp.

The abnormal behavior of the Dongjiang Army was immediately reported to Huang Taiji's ears, and Huang Taiji listened to it and sneered: "Wang Dalun, this fierce tiger, is preparing to tie me here, he has a good calculation, and wants my main force to stay here, so as to facilitate the attack of the Guanning army, or not, since he has so much time, Ben Khan will play with him!" ”

Under the order of Huang Taiji, many scouts in the Eight Banners Army were released, and they began to play hide and seek with Wang Dalun's army in the woods and other sparsely populated places.

This made Wang Dalun, who didn't sleep well, crazy, grandma's, this is purely looking for death! So Wang Dalun put away the idea of letting his subordinates train, and directly led the team to play the hunting operation, under the all-round control of the mosquito monitor, the hidden Tartar scouts were found by Wang Dalun one by one like hunting, and killed them one by one.

In just two days, Huang Taiji sent out more than 100 people who were killed by Wang Dalun at night, such a loss made Huang Taiji feel painful, the cultivation of a scout is not an easy thing, although the scouts of Houjin are all from the deep mountains and old forests of Changbai Mountain, all of them are veterans of hunting, and there are more people, but they can't withstand such a loss.

So Huang Taiji was honest, and his Eight Banners army stayed in the city honestly, basking in the sun leisurely on the city all day long, watching the Dongjiang Army under the city under the training of the instructors, under the big sun, all of them were trained to be overboard dogs.

At first, the soldiers of the Eight Banners were still very gloating, but after Huang Taiji went to the wall to see it once, their hard days also came, and they began to practice. So there was such a strange scene, the two groups of people who were originally going to fight to the death between the square inches of the city, were actually practicing together, and they all became water dogs.

This situation lasted for three days, and that night, when the exhausted soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were lying on the bed, they finally slept comfortably, only to hear a bang, and then the rapid alarm sounded everywhere, and the horn in the army blew rapidly, and the soldiers got up completely subconsciously and stood in their respective positions according to the usual drills.

I saw that several tents in the camp were burned, and there was a burst of shouting and killing from the position where the fire started, just when the soldiers were frightened, the officer came over, and said with a shout: "It's the Tartars who came to steal the camp, this marshal has already prepared, they all entered the marshal's pocket array, it's okay, everyone can go back to sleep!" ”

Although the officers said so, the soldiers dared to go back to sleep, and they watched until the shouts of killing ceased, and then the fire was extinguished, and the whole camp fell silent again. Only then did the soldiers believe the officer's words and began to yawn and go back to sleep.

When the next morning, I saw a pile of corpses in the middle of the camp, although the clothes on their bodies were all in the style of the Ming army, but the money rat tail on their heads still betrayed their identity, only to see that the officers in the field were ordering the soldiers to carry the corpses into the car, ready to pull them to the city, so that the people of Houjin would collect the corpses.

When they saw the neatly stacked corpses under the city, the people in the city were depressed, how could such a seamless night raid plan also fail? These Ming people are too fine! And Huang Taiji is not only depressed, these corpses were all marked by Wang Dalun, and if he wanted to take them back, he had to exchange them for something.

"Wang Hu, are you all shameless? The so-called dead are great, and you are not afraid of being punished by God when you do this? Huang Taiji scolded angrily at the head of the city.

Wang Dalun was indifferent, and he responded with a smile: "King Khan, this can only be blamed for your soldiers being dishonest and burning my tent, I have been short of money recently, and now that they are dead, naturally I have to let you pay for it." In a word, if you want it or not, if you don't, I'll cut off their heads and go to exchange rewards with those uncles in the military department! ”

Does Huang Taiji have a choice? There is no choice! Because the military law of the Eight Banners stipulates that as long as the corpses of the dead comrades can be brought back, half of the opponent's property can be divided. This is meant to encourage soldiers to fight bravely, if they don't help collect the corpses now, then who will dare to fight to the death in the future? Killed in battle, there was not even a person to collect the body.

So Huang Taiji only pinched his nose and admitted it, and accepted the bamboo pole knocked by Wang Dalun! This came and went, but the morale in the city was a little low, and the scene entered a stalemate. (To be continued......)
