Since becoming a parent, Ao Bai and Phoenix have lived a very happy life.

Three months later, as the Chinese New Year approached, Dolgon was a little sullen on this day.

Ao Bai asked, "Fourteen, why is your face so ugly?" Tired last night? ”

Dorgon sighed and said, "Father Khan is going to send troops to recruit Ming, but the military council still won't let me participate, and he will definitely not let me go." ”

The Jin Kingdom is finally going to send troops to Ningyuan. Ao Bai smiled and said: "Don't be so sure, I'll go with you to ask, with me by your side as a bodyguard, King Khan may change his mind." ”

Dolgon's eyes lit up, and he said, "I thought you were reluctant to go to Madame." ”

"Who says I don't want to go? I'm hungry for the spear in my hand! ”

If you don't ask for war for a long time, you will be regarded as an unmotivated person, and Ao Bai has long been ready to participate in the battle of Ningyuan. In the history of his previous life, this was a very classic battle, it is said that Nurhachi led tens of thousands of people to surround the lonely city of Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan ordered the artillery to blow up Nurhachi, and the Jin army had to retreat, and the Ming army broke Nurhachi's undefeated record. Although this battle was dangerous, he still wanted to see Yuan Chonghuan, a celebrity.

The phoenix beside him listened to the words of the two in his ears and sighed: "Master...... Are you going on a campaign? ”

Ao Bai knew in his heart that Phoenix definitely didn't want him to go. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, you have to ask the Khan King to find out." And I'm all in the effort, so there's no danger if I go. ”

Jin Guo planned to send troops in the first month, which was a hateful time for itching teeth. On such a festive day as the New Year, why does the "wild boar skin" have to play the role of the "New Year Beast"?

Because it was the Ming Dynasty that made the first move.

The closest stronghold of the Ming Dynasty to the Jin State was Youtun. This was originally a buffer zone, that is, when the two sides lived in peace, and the stronghold of the troops was not stationed. The Ming army was Youtun, and the stronghold of the Jin State was in Yaozhou.

It was all right. However, Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong Jingluo, put 300,000 stone grain in Youtun, which is a clear provocation!

The art of war is cloudy: soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved. Bringing so much grain over, if you don't want to fight, is it still to show off that you have a lot of food, and you want to give it away for nothing? Originally, he didn't want to fight, but Sun Chengzong put the food in a place where the Jin army could reach it as soon as he stretched out his hand, which also attracted them to stop fighting.

Sun Chengzong was indeed the first to strike, he and Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, sent troops to cross the Liuhe River and attack Yaozhou, but they were beaten by the troops of the Jin State in Yaozhou and ran away.

After the failure of the attack on Yaozhou, Youtun, which was originally a buffer zone, actually still had grain in it. The Ming army has taken the initiative to attack, do you still expect the Jin State to use this as a buffer zone? Jin Guo is not like some countries that have suffered losses and never fought back, they know that they are very yellow and violent. At this time, the Ming army would be cheap to put the grain in Youtun again, and it was very stupid and naïve. Jin Guo really had no reason not to go up and stab them a few times and bring the rice and white noodles home.

Dolgon and Aobai arrived at the Khan's dormitory together, and Nurhachi was exercising with the fitness equipment "invented" by Aobai, and said with a smile: "Dolgon, what's the matter?" ”

In the past six months, Nurhachi has gradually felt like an old dragon, and the bags under his eyes are very deep and drooping to his cheeks. His face was ugly, as if he had a severe nervous breakdown.

Dolgon said slowly: "Father Khan, we also want to participate in the battle of attacking Ningyuan. With him protecting me, there will be no danger. ”

Nurhachi looked at Aobai and sighed lightly, "How is Dolgon's kung fu now?" Do you think he's ready to play? ”

Ao Bai Zhengse said: "Back to the Great Khan, the fourteenth elder brother has practiced very well in both gunnery and knife skills, but his strength is still a little worse, if it is a foot battle, I dare not say that it is no problem to block a hundred and block dozens of people." ”

Nurhachi asked solemnly, "Dolgon, how many successful husbands do you think you have now?" ”

Dorgon thought for a moment and said, "About half. ”

Nurhachi shook his head: "It's only half? You'd better practice again. ”

Dolgon smiled, "It's different, I'm improving, but he's also improving." He and the Horqin First Warriors can be tied. He went to the battlefield and went head-to-head with the opposing generals, and he must kill one by one, and kill one by one. ”

Nurhachi looked at Aobai again and smiled: "So, you are all ready?" ”

"Ready." The two said in unison.

Nurhachi nodded and said lightly: "Then you two can follow me, it's not bad to go and see it, now go back first." ”

The king of Khan gave the order, and Aobai and Dolgon left in a hurry.

The next day, when they met Daishan after class, Dolgon hurried up to him, stopped him and asked, "Big brother is going to discuss matters?" Let's talk about the latest development, and let's use our brains too. ”

It is easiest to find out about the military situation from Daishan, and Ao Bai is also very interested.

Dai Shan smiled: "I heard that you are going to go out with the army this time?" ”

He went to war before he was fourteen years old, the youngest of the many elder brothers. Dolgon said proudly, "Yesterday my father Khan agreed. ”

Dai Shan thought for a while and said, "This time is not good news. It is said that Sun Chengzong resigned, and the newly appointed Gao Di somehow found out the news and ordered the army and civilians to retreat from Jinzhou, Youtun and other areas, and the troops were merged into Ningyuan. Father was angry, and urgently summoned us to discuss how to attack Ning Yuan. ”

Dolgon asked, "Since Ning Yuan didn't withdraw his troops, why did he attack where?" Where they retreated, wouldn't it be nice for us to occupy it easily? ”

Dai Shan touched the beard on his chin and said in a low voice: "We are short of food now, and we haven't fought a big war for more than four years, so it's time to make a big profit." This is also what Father Khan meant, and if your words reach his ears, he will be displeased. ”

Gao Di's actions are tantamount to giving up the military defense line that Sun Chengzong has operated for many years, and handing over more than 400 miles of land outside the Guanhai that has been restored. However, with these cheap gold countries, they are obviously not satisfied, and they prefer grain to land.

Dolgon said, "Big brother, isn't there anyone against this?" If most of the Ming army retreated into Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan would be a lonely city. Since they dared to defend the lonely city, they must have prepared a plan to burn the jade. The ancients said that the mourning soldiers will win, and it will definitely not be easy to put them to death and live later, and to attack Ningyuan. If you choose to surround but not fight, the first month is icy and snowy, and the army will camp outside, and it will definitely stay for a short time. If we don't withdraw our troops, we will be surrounded for a while, and they will eat all the food, and we will still not be able to grab it. ”

Dai Shan has experienced a hundred battles, and when he heard what Dolgon said, he also felt that there was something wrong with this matter. "Then how do you think it should be fought?"

Dolgon smiled and said, "Send someone to pretend to be a refugee and sneak into Ningyuan first." Waiting for the opportunity to move, the inside should be combined with the outside, in order to break through in one fell swoop. Or lead them out of the city, and our cavalry will easily crush them. But I don't think they will go out of the city, if it were me, I will defend to the death, so that we can do the greatest damage to our army, we can only win a miserable victory, but they are still glorious in defeat, and they deserve to die. ”

Dai Shan frowned, sighed lightly, and said, "Dolgon, what you said has some truth, I will go to the King of Ming Khan." ”

After Dai Shan left, Dolgon said proudly: "Aobai, how is it?" Am I right? ”

This kid is too shady, pretending to be a refugee and doing such things as Infernal Affairs. Ao Bai sighed: "I feel the same way, and if I go out during the Chinese New Year, the morale will not be very strong." Moreover, we are all cavalry, and we are not good at attacking cities. As long as the other party doesn't come out, it will be difficult to break Ning Yuan. ”

Dolgon smiled slightly, and said, "I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to be cold, there is still a place where you can fight, and it's the right time, do you know where it is?" ”

Hit somewhere else? The army and civilians have withdrawn to Ningyuan, where will they fight if they don't fight Ningyuan? Ao Bai shook his head and said, "Don't sell it, what did you think of?" ”

Dolgon said slowly: "The Ming army likes to guard Ningyuan, so let them guard it, I think it's better to take advantage of the cold weather to take a look at Huajue Island, there is no need to put soft persimmons and not pinch, to touch the big nail of Ningyuan." ”

During the Art of War class, Huajue Island was mentioned many times, which was in the bay of western Liaoning, only thirty miles away from Ningyuan City, and was extremely important to the Ming army and was a base for stockpiling grain.

But as soon as Dolgon said it, Ao Bai immediately thought of the problem, every month of the month, the sea will freeze, and he can indeed wait for the opportunity to attack the island.

Dolgon continued: "The weather is the coldest in the first month, and the sea is frozen, so as long as we feint to attack Ningyuan first, and launch a night attack at night, we can catch the Ming army on the island by surprise." Huajue Island is in a special location, and they may not be able to withdraw. ”

If you feint to attack Ning Yuan, will there be no Ning Yuan's great victory? What would be the consequences of Dorgon's suggestion if it were adopted? He was shocked in his heart, looked at Dolgon, and smiled: "Don't think about it too easily, the sea is frozen, and the Ming army will definitely think about it, and they will definitely take precautions." Think about what you would do if you were a Ming army? ”

Dolgon pondered for a moment and said, "If it were me, of course I would consider withdrawing all the people on Huajue Island, as long as the sea freezes, it will be impossible to prevent us from going to the island, even if we can't charge on horseback, it's okay to go up on foot, right?" I can't think of a way to defend it, it's not feasible to build a wall around the island, it's useless to dig a trench on the island, is it possible to dig a trench in the ice? ”

Ao Bai was amused by Dolgon. Digging trenches in the ice is a limitless way for SB...... The weather of dozens of degrees below zero chiseled the ice surface of the sea, and there was water underneath, and it would not freeze after a while? With this defense, the people on the island would have nothing to do but dig the ice.

Dolgon laughed and asked, "If you were a general of the Ming army, what would you do?" ”

Ao Bai thought for a while and said, "There are two strategies, one is that every city must be defended to the death and fight a war of attrition with us. We have few men, and the cavalry is not good at attacking cities, so if we attack strongly, we will inevitably lose some men. They can afford it, but we can't afford it. However, the Ming army left behind must have the determination to die, who would want to die? Second, the grain, grass, and civilians will be withdrawn into Shanhaiguan, and the army will be returned to Ningyuan, where we will fight a war of attrition. As for Huajue Island, I can't think of a way to defend it well, and if I don't retreat, I can only wait desperately. ”

Dolgon smiled: "Siege is quite troublesome, your second strategy is somewhat similar to what the Ming army is doing now." ”
