Aobai did agree with Gaudí's approach. The situation today is very different from what he remembers. Jin Yong Daxia said that Gao Di, who was as timid as a mouse, ordered Ningyuan to be abandoned, advocated escaping, and let the Ming army withdraw from the pass. Only Yuan Chonghuan was very stubborn, and he disobeyed the order, guarding Ning Yuan, and said angrily: "I would rather go to the front of the road, the official should die here, I will not go, I am willing to lie alone in the lonely city, to be a prisoner!" He was so impressed by this passage that his blood boiled when he thought about it.

But now Gao Di did not let Ning Yuan evacuate, but ordered to defend it, and Yuan Chonghuan was not disobedient. Gao Di also grasped the time of the Jin army's dispatch early, and wanted to withdraw the grain and grass, and the grain grabbing plan for the Jin country everywhere was impressive.

Youtun, Dalinghe and other places do not have such a strong city as Ningyuan to defend, and the army that can be beaten back by people if they sneak attack Yaozhou, the combat effectiveness can be imagined, and staying there is to find death. No one wants to defend a city that must be destroyed, so withdrawing is the way to go.

Ao Bai sighed: "If I were the commander, I would choose the second option." Although it seems that it is not planted to give up hundreds of miles of land, in this way, the grain and grass are preserved, and the soldiers and civilians are preserved, and the Shanhaiguan is retreated, occupying the geographical advantage. If we attack Ningyuan with great effort and storm Shanhaiguan, we will only suffer greater losses. We are short of food every year at this time, how can the enemy not know? Their withdrawal of supplies is tantamount to disrupting our plan to grab food. They didn't lose a single soldier, but we have a lot of people here who may starve to death in the winter. This approach of retreating is the best strategy for fighting a war of attrition with us. Imagine how difficult it would be if we had to go through Shanhaiguan and enter the hinterland of the Ming army in the future? Even if we really entered the Shanhaiguan, not to mention how many people died, we are not familiar with the terrain at all, the time difference and the location are wrong, how can this battle be fought? It is impossible to overthrow the Ming Dynasty in one go, you can only turn around and come back......"

Dolgon clapped his palms and frowned, "Why do I think it's nothing good to hear you say that?" Fortunately, you are not the commander of the Ming Dynasty. ”

I am not the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and this expedition may be in vain. The grain and grass and the army and civilians were withdrawn, Ningyuan had Yuan Chonghuan, and Shanhaiguan, as the first Xiongguan in the world, had never been broken in the era of cold weapons. Ao Bai smiled bitterly: "The Ming army may not be without capable people, so it's better not to be too optimistic." ”

At this time, a guard hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Fourteenth elder brother, please stay." ”

"What's the matter?"

The guard said: "King Khan summoned the fourteenth elder brother to the palace to discuss matters!" ”

It was the first time that Dorgon had participated in the military council, and he happily followed the guards.

At this time, Ao Bai's mood was very complicated, and he was a little worried about the Han people. Whether he had fought Huajue Island in his previous life, he couldn't remember. I only hope that the people on the island will evacuate as soon as possible, as long as they are withdrawn there, it will be difficult for the Jin army to get the sweetness of this battle.

It is definitely more difficult to attack the mountain customs than to attack Ningning. Gaodi's approach was to draw a clear line with the Jin State and clear the wilderness. Ningyuan north of the country to send you to toss slowly, and then the market will not be open for trading, see what you can develop.

With the current situation of the Jin Kingdom, if the Ming Dynasty did this, it would be one word "difficult"!

Previously, the Jurchens lived mainly by fishing and hunting, rather than farming. The country of Jin is short of supplies. There is flesh and fruit, but there is no food, and there is also a lack of various cash crops. Moreover, after all, the Jin Kingdom is a slave society, and the slave owners lack nothing, while those low-level people and slaves have no sharing of things, and their lives are miserable, and they can hardly survive in winter. The solution to the problem of the Jin Kingdom is not to distribute the things that are piled up in the warehouse, but to feed the war with war and grab things.

If both sides choose to recuperate, the national strength of the Jin State will be at an absolute disadvantage, they are a huge robbery group, and the development of production is not a strong point.

The Ming army did not withdraw Ningyuan, leaving Yuan Chonghuan and Nurhachi PK because there was a Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town. Mao Wenlong's troops interfered with the Jin State's attack on the Ming Dynasty again and again in the rear, and the troops of Yuan Chonghuan and others in Liaoxi also affected the Jin State's encirclement and suppression of Mao Wenlong, which played a role in restraining each other. If they all withdraw, it will be tantamount to telling Nurhachi that we are peace-loving people and will not fight you. Anyway, you can't pass the Shanhaiguan Pass, so pack up Mao Wenlong and go.

Nurhachi has long hated Mao Wenlong! Lao Tzu had a hot fight with people in front, and you want to explode my chrysanthemum from behind, isn't this death? Anyone will hate it to the bone.

If Jin Guo lays down the various bases in Dongjiang Town, cleans up Mao Wenlong, and then fights against Shanhaiguan Zhili in the north step by step, the situation will be very favorable. On the contrary, although the Jin State conquered Liaoyang and Shenyang, and captured hundreds of thousands of Han people, its rule was extremely unstable, and these Han people who were used as slaves generally had a rebellious mood, constantly fleeing, revolting, and many defected to the ranks of Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong.

The role of Ningyuan City is to get as close as possible to the lost land and people of Liaodong, so that the limited national strength of the Jin State cannot smoothly absorb this force, as long as Liaodong and the Jin State continue to fight a war of attrition, if the Jin State has a big defeat, it will be the fate of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species.

Nurhachi made an exception to allow Dorgon to participate in the military council. Half an hour later, Dorgon returned. Ao Bai asked, "How's it going?" ”

Dolgon said proudly: "Father Khan accepted my opinion, in this battle, we will fight Ningyuan first, strive to persuade him to surrender, and at the same time send people to explore the truth of Huajue Island, if the Ming army does not withdraw, the sea freezes, we will turn to Huajue Island." It's a pity that my father Khan won't let me rush to the front, and when the fight starts, we won't be able to kill the generals and capture the flag. ”

Ao Bai nodded. He was amazed by Dorgon's military prowess. He insinuated that history had changed. This is not the time for Dorgon to go to war. Nurhachi made an exception and brought him, did he know that he was not in good health and wanted to speed up the process of power transfer? The main target of the Jin army is Huajue Island, is Ning Yuan's victory no longer there?

His heart was full of contradictions, although he participated in the Eight Banners Army, he didn't want the Ming Army to lose this battle......

Soon on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Jin army began to gather forces to prepare for the dispatch of troops, and Dolgon and Aobai were incorporated into the yellow banner together. Phoenix also wanted to go together, her kung fu was admired by many people, but there were no female soldiers in the Eight Banners Army, so she had to give up.

On the fourteenth day of the first month, Nurha's 60,000 troops, known as 200,000, went straight to Youtun.

Before sending troops, the Jin army received an important piece of information - there is still grain and grass in Youtun! Therefore, as soon as they sent troops, they were advancing non-stop, with the cavalry going first and the infantry coming later.

Ao Bai was very skeptical about the veracity of this news. The Ming army ordered a retreat ten days ago, how could there still be food in Youtun? If this news is true, the retreat efficiency of these guys is too low, or there are traitors who deliberately leave grain and grass for the Jin State.

At nearly seventy years old, Nurha took the lead in the first place, riding a war horse all the way, and her perseverance was as tough as a wild boar's skin. He led the army to Youtun and shouted: "Sons, rush!" Burn it out! Kill them all! Grab the light! ”

The soldiers of the Eight Banners rushed out with shouts and shouts. Dorgon also wanted to rush, but was forced to stay with Nurhachi. As a guard, Ao Bai must also stay.

Not long after the people entered the city, the city was ablaze. When Nurhachi saw the fire, he scolded angrily: "I grass, I haven't robbed the grain yet, why did you set it on fire first?" What to do if you burn the grain? Which SB said to set fire! ”

There was a lot of sweat around them. Nurhachi quickly remembered that he had shouted first, and his elongated old face was red, like a red rabbit. I don't know if it's because of embarrassment or the reflection of firelight......

After a while, someone urgently reported: "Great Khan, the Han troops have withdrawn, and the houses have been burned when they leave." ”

Nurhachi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go all out to rescue the grain, and the poor will not chase!" ”

The fire was quickly extinguished, and the Jin army moved the captured grain and grass into Youtun, and without encountering resistance, there was a lot of gain.

The army trimmed a little and continued to advance. On the way, it was trapped in eight cities, including Daling River, Jinzhou, Xiaoling River, Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan and Lianshan. The original garrison had already withdrawn, and the rest of the people also retreated in a hurry, setting fire before leaving.

Ao Bai followed the army, carrying a strong bow, but he didn't even have a chance to shoot an arrow. This is a real empty city plan, and the empty ones are not even human. No wonder Nurha's red-haired troops are all blatant, if they don't leak the news, they will encounter resistance, no matter how bad the Ming army is, a group of people are guarding the city, and the Jin army can't attack it without leaving hundreds of corpses. Now it's just a big army pressing the border, just take over the castle, and all the strength is wasted on fighting fires.

The battle is like this, the Ming army is really enough, but there is no way to do it.

It can be said that it was not a good time for Gao Di to take office, after the national hero Sun Chengzong poked the hornet's nest, he resigned righteously and awe-inspiringly, and threw the stick used when poking the hornet's nest to Gao Di. This stick is simply a golden hoop stick, and then it is a thousand pounds of weight on the body......

Dolgon, who had experienced war for the first time, whispered beside Aobai, "Hey, is this how the battles are fought?" That's not difficult, right? ”

Ao Bai whispered: "We have not encountered resistance during this time, but Ningyuan City is guarded. If you want to attack at that time, you will definitely have to waste a lot of effort. ”

Dorgon said disdainfully, "Maybe as soon as we stop there, they'll surrender." ”

Ao Bai sighed in his heart, Dolgon is still a child, and he can despise the Han people like this. But then, it shouldn't go so well. With Yuan Chonghuan, a famous general, Ning Yuan will definitely be able to hold it, and this is the first victory of the Ming army recorded in the history books.

He suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.

Since the dispatch of the army, Dolgon and I have been by Nurhachi's side, and legend has it that Yuan Chonghuan not only defended Ningyuan, but also seriously injured Nurhachi with a red-coated cannon. Aren't Dolgon and I in danger of being shelled? I rub! At this time, the shell is a solid bullet, and if you rub it, you will be seriously injured, and you will definitely burp if you are hit!
