Seeing Azig take the initiative to stand up, Daishan almost laughed.

"Yes, yes, I'm old, and I can't keep up with my physical strength and energy."

Dai Shan immediately got off the donkey: "Now is the time for you young people. ”

Dolgon glared at Azig, the hatred in his heart, he really wanted to slap Azig to death.

However, on the surface, Dolgon was still silent, waved his hand and said: "Old Twelve, shut up, I haven't bothered with you last time I didn't succeed in fighting fake Shun, where did you get the confidence to win Dagukou?" ”

Azig instantly felt annoyed by being slapped in the face: "Old Fourteen, can you blame me for what happened last time?" If you hadn't summoned me back halfway, I would have destroyed the hypocrisy long ago. ”

The best thing for losers is always to shirk responsibility.

"If you really want to prove yourself, it's not too late for the second brother to try."

Dolgon snorted and said to Dai Shan: "Second brother, the heavy responsibility of attacking Dagukou belongs to you!" ”

Dai Shan knew that he couldn't hide, and it was useless to shirk it, because Dolgon could also use the collective will of the Eight Banners to suppress him, he held two white flags in his hand, and the two yellow flags of Fulin also listened to him, plus Gur Ma Hui's dog legs, no matter how he discussed the Eight Banners, he would lose.

"Okay, then the second brother will give it a try."

Dai Shan said: "However, the second brother can't trust the green battalion, you have to transfer the Zhenghong Banner back from Xuzhou." ”

Dolgon frowned when he heard this, because according to his plan, the "hunting" in Xuzhou had just entered a critical juncture at this time, not only to destroy Xuzhou's farming, but more importantly, to remove the generals of other banners, and replace all the generals who were loyal to his banner and replace them with generals who were loyal to him Dolgon.

At this time, if the positive red flag is brought back,

It will make Duoduo's rectification of the red flag fall short.

As a result, as soon as Dai Shan's voice fell, Azig also continued: "Old Fourteen, by the way, transfer my twenty Niu Lu back, without Eight Banners Manchuria, I'm afraid I won't be able to take Dagukou." ”

"Nope." To Azig, Dolgon flatly refused.

However, he didn't dare to be so decisive about Dai Shan, and said with a straight face: "Second brother, a total of 260 cattle from the Eight Banners of Manchuria led by Duoduo went to Xuzhou to hunt, which is also a decision of the Eight Banners, and it cannot be changed lightly. ”

"However, I can transfer 10 oxen from Zhenghongqi at my discretion."

After a pause, Dolgon said again: "With the help of these 10 Manchurian warriors of Niu Lu, the second brother should always have confidence, right?" After all, the Ming army at Dagukou only had a total of five or six thousand people. ”

"Okay, then transfer 10 cows back."

Dai Shanjian can't come back to everything, so he can only retreat to the second.

Dolgon immediately sent flying cavalry to the Xuzhou battlefield to transfer troops.

……

At this time, Duoduo on the battlefield of Xuzhou was already in a dilemma.

If you continue to hunt, it will become a loss-making business.

The cruel reality is that since the main force of the Ming army came to Xuzhou, especially with a large number of Ming cavalry joining the battle, the Eight Banners Manchuria, not to mention the captivity of the population, will lose a lot of manpower every day.

As of today, the Eight Banners have lost more than 3,000 horses.

When he saw this number today, Dodor himself was shocked.

Unknowingly, ten cattle have been lost on the battlefield in Xuzhou.

Even more worrying to Dodor was the fact that the casualties were still mounting.

At the beginning, it was basically a few or a dozen rides, and occasionally there were hundreds of riders, but since the end of March, the number of daily losses has risen to dozens of rides.

If it continues, Duoduo dares to assert that the daily loss will rise.

But the problem is that if the troops are withdrawn like this, they will not be able to explain to the fourteenth brother.

So Duoduo is really in a dilemma, and he doesn't know what to do.

Duoduo was undecided, so he summoned more than a dozen Gushan Ezhen and Meler Zhangjing of the two white flags together to discuss countermeasures.

He Luohui proposed: "Master, it is definitely not possible to withdraw the troops at this point, not to mention that the generals of the banners such as Aobai, Yechen, and Lanbai have not really surrendered, even the farming of Xuzhou has not been destroyed." ”

Melerzhangjing Azignikan, who was in the white flag, also said: "Yes, no matter what, we have to wait until after autumn, so that we can not only take advantage of the Ming dog to loot a batch of coatings while the dog is farming, but also harvest a wave of autumn grain to make up for the loss, otherwise it will be a big loss to come to Xuzhou this time." ”

Other generals also chimed in.

Not a single person supported the withdrawal.

Duoduo said helplessly: "Why does this king want to withdraw his troops? ”

"If you withdraw your troops back in such a mess, you will inevitably be punished again, and then the king is afraid that he will not even be able to keep the title of the county king, and he will be robbed of several Niu Lu's bannermen."

"But the problem is that if you continue to spend money with Minggou in Xuzhou, you will lose money."

"I don't know if you have calculated, the casualties of the last two days can be topped by ten days in one day!"

Speaking of this, Duoduo sighed again: "Now it's only a loss of more than 3,000 horses, but if you spend a few more months with Minggou in Xuzhou, the loss may be 30,000 horses!" ”

Of course, 30,000 rides is an exaggeration, and 10,000 rides are really possible.

Ah Shan, He Luohui, Azignikan and other generals were suddenly silenced.

It was only then that they finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

After pondering for a moment, Duoduo said: "However, even if it is inevitable to withdraw the troops in the end, you can't just withdraw the troops, and you will definitely have to hit the Ming Dog hard before withdrawing the troops." ”

Hearing this, Ah Shan, He Luohui and the others suddenly came to their senses.

To be honest, the grappling in the past few months has really made them feel aggrieved.

In the past, their Eight Banners warriors were invincible on the battlefield, and the Ming army saw them and fled, but this time it was not like this on the battlefield in Xuzhou, the Ming army actually fought with them in the field unusually, and the key was that they also fell behind, and the sheep actually hunted the wolves in turn, isn't this chaotic?

Ah Shan asked, "Master, are you planning to fight Minggou head-on?" ”

"A head-on duel will definitely not work." Duoduo shook his head and said, "We only came to Eight Banners Manchuria, the Green Battalion Soldiers, the Eight Banners Han Army and even the Eight Banners Mongolia did not follow, and the Ming army in Xuzhou had a large number of infantry in addition to cavalry, as well as a car battalion and a large number of red-coated cannons and tiger squat artillery, and the frontal decisive battle was purely to find death." ”

He Luohui asked again: "Does the master mean to fight an ambush?" ”

"Yes, ambush." Duoduo nodded and said, "Find a suitable terrain to ambush the Ming cavalry, even if you can't wipe out the Ming cavalry at once, you have to inflict heavy damage on it!" I have to let Chongzhen, the dog emperor, know that in terms of riding and shooting, we have to be our Manchurian warriors, and it is impossible for Ming Dog to catch up no matter how he practices. ”

"But Minggou is very cautious."

Azignikan also said: "They will not be fooled. ”

"Come and see." Duoduo took out a map of Shandong.

It's the kind of map that used before, and it can only be used as a reference.

"This is Nanyang Lake, and the cavalry of the Ming army will only chase here at most, and will not chase further north."

"Because Nanyang Lake began to enter the mountains to the north, it is obvious that the Ming army is worried that we will bury ambushes in the mountains north of Nanyang Lake and Dushan Lake, so it is not possible to ambush the Ming army north of Nanyang Lake."

Ah Shan said: "But to the south of Nanyang Lake is an open plain, and there is no way to hide the ambush soldiers. ”

"I can't hide it now," said Dord, "but in a few days we will be able to hide the ambush, for the weeds have grown to a height of several feet, and we will soon be able to hide them." ”

"Weeds?" He Luohui waited for the others, and his eyes lit up all of a sudden.

yes, how did you forget the weeds? It's spring right now, and it's the season when weeds grow wildly, and they can grow a few inches tall in a day's battle, or weeds can grow to three or five feet tall in a few days.

"So don't hunt for the next few days, and let the weeds grow more luxuriantly." ”

As soon as the words fell, a Baya soldier hurriedly came in with a fire-lacquered letter in both hands: "Master, Tianjin Express." ”

"Tianjin Express?" Duoduo was stunned when he heard this, what kind of express did Tianjin send him? It's really inexplicable, Tianjin Admiral Luo Yangxing wants to give his daughter to himself as a concubine, but there is no need to send an urgent delivery for this, right?

He Luohui, Ahsan, and Azignikan and other generals of the two white flags also looked at each other.

Puzzled, Dodor took his dagger and cut through the paint, and took the letter from the envelope.

Just looked at a few lines, Duoduo suddenly changed his face, Dagukou was actually taken by the Ming army?

Seeing that Duoduo's expression was not good, He Luohui asked worriedly, "Master, is something wrong?" ”

Duoduo hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Chongzhen, the dog emperor, sent a partial division all the way to occupy Dagukou a few days ago!" ”

"What?"

"Dagukou?"

"How is this possible?"

He Luohui and others were also furious when they heard this.

Duoduo continued: "In the past few days, the regent of the imperial father and the regent of his uncle have been defeated at the mouth of Dagu, and many green battalion soldiers have been damaged. ”

"How is this possible?" He Luohui, Azignikan and others were directly stupid when they heard this, and the uncle regent and the imperial father regent both lost the battle in Dagu? This way, the Ming army is so difficult?

He Luohui even proposed: "Master, why don't we come back to help?" ”

"Not for now." Dodor had learned of Dorgon's plans from the letters.

Putting the letter away, Dordo said, "Come, go and call Kadahun to the king." ”

Kadahun was the true red flag and Gushan Ezhen, and he was soon ordered to come to the lobby of the Yansheng Mansion.

Seeing that Kadahun had asked for peace for himself, Duoduo said: "Kadahun, your master is in trouble at Dagukou, let you immediately lead ten Niu Lu's bannermen to help, you should go back quickly." ”

Kadahun's face changed slightly: "Dare to ask the prince, what happened to Dagukou?" ”

"You'll find out when you go." Dordor said impatiently, "Don't ask. ”

"Huh." Kadahun really didn't dare to ask more, this time really made Duoduo scared.
