The next few days were quite calm.

The Manchus did not make much move, and the Ming army naturally did not easily look for the bad luck of the Manchus, but just held their respective positions and stepped up the construction of fortifications.

In fact, Huang Taiji's eyes are indeed very poisonous.

At the entrance of the Qing army, although the Ming Dynasty had already made certain preparations, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty had the advantage of cavalry, even if the Ming army was prepared, it did not have the capital to take the initiative to attack and fight to the death with the Qing army.

Even if Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army breaks away from its own position and wants to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, it will be difficult to win.

In this regard, Liu Ruyi naturally thought about it, since Huang Taiji was not in a hurry, then fighting in the Ming Dynasty, there was plenty of food and materials, and Liu Ruyi was not in a hurry.

For a long period of time, nomads had a strong innate advantage over agrarian peoples, and this advantage did not change until the mid-to-late nineteenth century, when the age of firearms completely came.

This is the tide of history.

Even if Liu Ruyi is a traverser, it is difficult to change.

However, the two sides basically maintain a delicate balance in the general trend, but in a small-scale area, the confrontation between the two sides is inevitable.

After seven or eight days of hard work, nearly 100 scouts of the Caishi Army have been killed, and the casualties of the other armies of the Ming Dynasty are also not small, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not taken too much advantage.

~~~~~

Tongzhou Caishi Army Camp.

Liu Ruyi stood in front of the huge map, carefully examining the layout and defense of the Qing army, trying to guess the upcoming attack route of Huang Taiji.

In later generations, scientific studies have shown that the best way to defeat an opponent is to substitute the opponent's thinking and consider the problem from the opponent's point of view.

At this time, Liu Ruyi regarded himself as Huang Taiji, leading more than 100,000 iron cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how to break through the seemingly stable positional defense of the Ming army.

Among them, the biggest obstacle faced by the Qing army was the supply of grain, grass and materials.

After all, they are a guest army, although they have connected more than a dozen cities in the north of the Ming Dynasty, but the north is already barren, in this year, there is no harvest, as for the accumulation, it has already been consumed between the several entrances of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In this situation, Liu Ruyi really couldn't think of why Huang Taiji should be in an extremely passive situation, but why he could still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not plan to attack quickly.

At this time, it was spring, and the crops in the field had just grown tender seedlings, even if he wanted to harvest it, he would have to wait at least until after the end of summer.

So what exactly does he want to do?

Liu Ruyi frowned, but he didn't have a clue in his heart.

Not long after, Wang Pu came to visit, and in the face of this situation, his heart was also extremely anxious and uneasy.

"Brother Liu, how could the Manchu Qing Dynasty suddenly be so quiet, I always feel that something seems to be wrong with this thing!" Wang Pu's face was full of doubtful sadness.

He had a personal experience of fighting with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he naturally knew the terrible nature of the Qing army.

"The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop! Since Huang Taiji can be so calm, he must already have a reliable backhand! This man is a wolf! Liu Ruyi exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, but in his heart, he had to admire Huang Taiji's calmness and calmness.

Thinking about it from another angle, if Liu Ruyi and Huang Taiji had switched positions, I am afraid that in this situation, it would be difficult to maintain such composure, right?

Wang Pushen nodded thoughtfully, "Brother Liu, this time, Huang Taiji is afraid that he is also betting on his life, either the enemy dies, or I die!" If this battle is decided, the Manchu Qing can be worry-free! On the contrary, if I win the Ming Dynasty, the disaster of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can also be over! ”

Liu Ruyi nodded, "What about the other armies?" Are there any difficulties? The more we are at this moment, the more we must maintain the stability of people's hearts! ”

"It's not too much of a problem for now! Even Makona is stepping up the construction of fortifications. Brother Liu, as long as we don't mess up ourselves, even if Huang Taiji attacks, we won't take advantage of anything! Wang Pu said with some confidence.

After the baptism of Pinggu and Songjin, these generals who followed Liu Ruyi have a certain experience in defense.

At this time, there were many Ming soldiers, and the grain, grass, materials, and armor were abundant, and they naturally had confidence in their hearts.

Liu Ruyi nodded, "We don't care about others, and we don't have to care." However, the camps of our armies must be perfected and not show a flaw. I always have a feeling that if Huang Taiji does not move, someone will inevitably die! ”

Wang Pu's face was also cold when he heard this, "Brother Liu, you, what do you mean ......?"

Liu Ruyi took a deep breath of cold air, "I have a feeling that Huang Taiji will not take the lead in coming towards our nine-sided armies this time, but ......"

Liu Ruyi didn't finish speaking, but Wang Pu understood what Liu Ruyi meant, and the expression on his face was instantly a little frightened, "Brother Liu, you, you mean, Jing, Jingying?" ”

Liu Ruyi glanced at Wang Pu and nodded slightly, "The armies of the Nine Sides are strong, even if Huang Taiji tries his best to attack, he may not be able to take advantage of it!" But the Beijing camp is different, their young masters, old soldiers, you and I know the combat power in our hearts. If I were Huang Taiji, I would choose to use them! As long as we can open a hole in the defense line of the Beijing Division, we will inevitably go to the rescue, and when the time comes, we will besiege the city and send reinforcements, and break them one by one. ”

"This, this ......" Wang Pu was speechless, and he also understood the seriousness of this matter.

If this matter is really as Liu Ruyi expected, then the battle of Daming is really dangerous!

"Brother Liu, then, what should we do now?" Wang Pu asked anxiously.

Liu Ruyi suddenly sneered, "What should I do?" Cold! ”

He turned around and stared at the huge map, "Tongzhou is garrisoned by the armies of the Nine Sides, so it should be fine!" But Shunyi, Huairou line, no one can say badly! However, Brother Wang doesn't have to worry too much. The high walls of Jingshi City are thick, and 200,000 troops are stationed, even if the Qing army has artillery, it is impossible to take it easily! What's more, we are here, Huang Taiji is not so bold, desperate! He can't afford to lose this battle either! ”

"That, what does Brother Liu mean ......"

Liu Ruyi pointed to the two dots on the periphery of the Jingshi and smiled a little contemptuously.

Wang Pu instantly thundered like five thunderbolts, "The north and south camps of the Beijing Division? ”

Liu Ruyi nodded, "That's right, if what I expected is right, Huang Taiji will definitely attack them this time!" ”

"So, what are we going to do?" Wang Pu was a little panicked.

If Huang Taiji really dares to run to the bottom of the Jingshi City and make a move against the two major military camps in Beijing, this, this is too rampant, right?

Liu Ruyi lightly exhaled a breath of turbidity, "In this world, it has been quiet for too long!" The aristocratic lords in Beijing have long forgotten who is supporting the world with their backbones! Let them be a little frightened, it may not be good for us! ”

"This ......" Wang Puru fell into the ice cave, but instantly understood what Liu Ruyi meant......

~~~~~~~

Pinggu, the king of Huang Taiji.

Dolgon, the Duoduo brothers, were kneeling respectfully on the ground, listening to the instructions of the Emperor Taiji.

Although the two brothers are unruly and have heavy troops, the premise of all this is given by Huang Taiji.

As long as Huang Taiji does not die, even if Dolgon has the ambition to be a hero, it will be difficult to perform it easily.

He deeply understood in his heart that it was not an exaggeration to say that this starling brother of his was a devil.

At this time, Huang Taiji seemed a little tired, but his spirit was good.

Looking at the two brothers in front of him, Huang Taiji did not have the slightest resentment in his heart, but was full of endless love.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father.

Nurhachi went early, at this time, the Qing Dynasty was already in such a critical situation, and he himself had reached the last moment, so Huang Taiji was no longer as mean as before, and the two young but brave brothers in front of him had also become his biggest bargaining chip.

"Fourteenth brother, fifteenth brother, seeing you all grow up, I am very relieved! If your father has a spirit in the sky, he can also see your heroic posture, presumably, there should be no regrets! Huang Taiji said, walked up to the two affectionately, and each held their hands.

Dolgon and Duoduo were a little surprised, and they each glanced at each other, but found that there was no falsification in Huang Taiji's eyes.

"The Emperor's ......"

Huang Taiji waved his hand, "Don't call me the emperor, call me starling!" ”

The two were shocked, but when they saw Huang Taiji's determined appearance, they had to say: "Starling! ”

Huang Taiji smiled at this time, "Very good!" Very good! Fourteenth brother, fifteenth brother, at this time, I will not say the fear of the Qing Dynasty, I think you must know it in your hearts! At this point, Liu Ruyi has become bigger, and the armies of the Ming people on the nine sides are gradually becoming stronger, so we must make a decision as soon as possible! If it drags on, I'm clear, I'm afraid it's really powerless! ”

Dorgon and Dorgon nodded approvingly.

Both of them are dragons among men, so they naturally know the general trend well.

Huang Taiji smiled again, "Soldiers, know the situation!" To this extent, what we can think of, Liu Ruyi can also think of! What Liu Ruyi can think of, we can also think of! So, if we want to win this battle, we have to go with surprises! ”

Dolgon already had some epiphany in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Starling, what do you mean?" ”

Huang Taiji smiled, "You also know the situation inside the Ming Dynasty. There has already been a huge rift between Emperor Chongzhen and Liu Ruyi. So, we can put some thought into this! ”

Huang Taiji said, pointing his big finger at the two familiar dots on the side of Jingshi.

Dolgon couldn't help but gasp, "Starling, this, isn't this a bit risky?" If we advance so suddenly, once we are surrounded by the reinforcements of the Ming army, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Huang Taiji shook his head with a smile, "Liu Ruyi will definitely not come back!" I'm 100,000 sure of that! He wants to use my hand to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger! So, this time, there won't be much danger! As long as the Caishi Army does not come back to help, the other reinforcements of the Ming Army will not be your opponent! But you had to ...... last night's ticket."

Huang Taiji lowered his voice and whispered his plan to the ears of the two people.

Dolgon's eyes widened after hearing this, and he sighed with emotion: "Starling, you, you are really a master of art and bold!" The little brother is really ashamed of himself! ”
