Dorgon's sharp gaze swept across the crowd. The arguments made him very angry, and his angry voice also sounded: "Your Majesty ordered me to lead the army south to conquer the Ming Dynasty, and handed over 100,000 troops to me. All decisions will be made by myself." I am the king who makes the decision! Now that the war has failed, how can I submit a report to His Majesty? The words of Prince Keqin are extremely inappropriate!"
Yue Tuo frowned slightly, but did not refute.
Then Dorgon looked at Du Du and said: "In today's battle, although our army severely damaged Liu Yan's troops, the warriors of each banner also suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, in the future, our army cannot fight head-on and must use wisdom to win." .Placing hope on reinforcements? Then what use does Your Majesty have me waiting for!"
Du Du also frowned, feeling very unhappy, and thought to himself: "Severe damage to Liu Yan's troops? Even if Liu Yan's troops were completely wiped out, it would only annihilate tens of thousands of Ming troops, but now the warriors of each banner have suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. Well, the armored warriors in each banner suffered heavy casualties, it’s a shame you can say such a thing!”
All Ngetu, Yibai and Buyendai could think about was bowing their heads and saying nothing.
Especially Engetu, the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner led by him was originally stationed in Tianjin and had a very good life in the rear. The surrounding Ming troops captured far away areas, and most of them gathered near Beijing, allowing the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner troops to wreak havoc in the Tianjin area. .
However, following Dorgon's order, Engetu also led his troops south to Jinan Fucheng, and then suffered heavy losses under the city.
At this time, Engetu felt very uncomfortable and had a strong opinion of Dorgon, but he just didn't dare to express it.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Dorgon continued: "I think that Liu Yan's troops are brave and good at fighting, so we should leave one part of our army to confront them, and then use the remaining troops to storm the other three sides of Jinan Fucheng. As long as we take it In Jinan Fucheng, Liu Yan's tribe lost ground and had no choice but to retreat, so that our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate his tribe in one fell swoop!"
But Dorgon never expected that Yue Tuo stood up again and said: "Prince Rui, don't blame me, this proposal is inappropriate."
Dorgon frowned and said coldly: "Oh? Prince Keqin, tell me, what's wrong with my proposal?"
Seeing this, Yue Tuo simply said: "As Prince Rui said, if our army divides its troops to attack Jinan Fucheng, how many troops should be left to block Liu Yan's tribe? If there are few troops left, Liu Yan's tribe will definitely not be able to be blocked. With Liu Yan's troops, Yan's troops must be sent from the south of the city to attack our rear."
"In Jinan Fucheng, there are Lu Xiangsheng's Supervisory Camp and Yan Jizu's Fubiao Camp. Although these two Ming armies are not as powerful as Liu Yan's tribe, they are not vegetarians. They are elite among the Ming army. If they are left to block Liu Yan's tribe, If we have more troops, we will not have enough troops to attack the city, and Jinan Fucheng will not be taken. What should we do in this case?"
Du Du on the side saw Yue Tuo coming forward and took the opportunity to stand up and said: "In this way, this battle has fallen into a dead end: as long as Liu Yan's troops are stationed outside the city, our army cannot completely blockade Jinan Fucheng. Attacking the city will not work, and field battles will not work. If you can’t take it, what should you do?”
At this time, Duduo looked at Dorgon. Although he was dissatisfied with Yue Tuo and Dudu who kept speaking against him, Duduo had to admit that what they both said made sense, and the current battle situation was indeed at a deadlock.
Dorgon was silent for a long time, and then said: "In this case, in accordance with the wishes of King Keqin, from tomorrow onwards, each banner will send out small groups of soldiers and horses to plunder, first replenish some money and food supplies, and then arrest some bright people. The people of the country, strengthen the fortifications around our military camp."
Everyone took the order, and Ngetu, Yibai, and Buyendai breathed a sigh of relief. Shang Kexi also secretly wiped his sweat. It was great not to have to fight with those lunatics of Liu Yan's tribe for the time being. Now he thought of the battle during the day. , Shang Kexi’s heart couldn’t stop beating wildly.
But then, Dorgon said loudly: "But our army cannot give up just yet. From tomorrow on, each banner will take turns sending small groups of cavalry to inspect the surroundings of Jinan Fucheng to monitor the movements of Liu Yan's tribe. Once a fighter plane is discovered, they will attack immediately!"
Yue Tuo's heart sank, knowing that Dorgon still refused to give up and wanted to fight again while the Ming army's fortifications in the south of the city were not completed. After all, there was King De of the Ming Dynasty in Jinan Fucheng who joined the feudal vassal, there was Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Shandong, and Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, who captured Jinan Fucheng and annihilated Liu Yan's tribe. Such success was enough to cover up the huge casualties of each banner.
Thinking of this, Yue Tuo wanted to dissuade Dorgon from "grasping the valley" in the surrounding areas, and then withdraw his troops and go north. Since he couldn't take down Liu Yan's tribe, he didn't want to increase casualties. He waited until next time when Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, and Kong Youde gathered troops. After all the Han soldiers and horses are gone, it's okay to fight back. After all, those Han soldiers don't feel bad even if they die.
But when Yue Tuo looked at Dorgon, he was immediately stared at by Dorgon's almost murderous gaze. He broke out in a cold sweat and realized that he had angered Dorgon. He sighed slightly. He lowered his head and stopped talking.
"You know what's going on!"
Dorgon thought secretly in his heart, and then told Duduo: "Early tomorrow morning, Prince Yu will take people to check the area south of the city and report back in time."
Duduo took the order.
A military meeting ended in everyone's overt and covert debate. When Yue Tuo, Du Du and others dispersed, only Duduo left and returned, sitting opposite Dorgon in the Chinese army's tent.
"Brother, do we really want to continue fighting Liu Yan's tribe? The casualties among the warriors of each banner are too great."
Duduo said worriedly: "Huang Taiji has always regarded our two brothers as a thorn in his side. If the two white flags consume too much troops, Huang Taiji will definitely add insult to injury."
Dorgon said: "Why don't I know? I just withdraw my troops and go back. I am really unwilling to do so. Huang Taiji will also take advantage of the situation. You and I will be targeted by Huang Taiji."
"But brother, have you ever thought about it. In order to concentrate our troops to fight against Liu Yan and Lu Xiangsheng's troops, our army even transferred the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner soldiers and horses stationed in Tianjin. Our army has no troops stationed in the back. Once the Ming Dynasty concentrates If heavy troops cut off our army's retreat, it will be a situation that will never be restored!"
Dorgon laughed loudly and said: "Heavy troops? In the Ming Dynasty, apart from Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Yan's tribe, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou also have some abilities. But what kind of soldiers and horses do they have? How can those miscellaneous soldiers stop our Qing Dynasty?" Warrior’s impact!”
Seeing that he couldn't hold Dorgon back, Duduo had no choice but to work with him to find a way, so he asked, "What is your brother going to do next?"
Dorgon pondered for a while and said: "If Liu Yan's defense line is not completed, our army will build more shield vehicles and large shields, and then use the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Han army and the Mongolian banners as the vanguard to consume Liu Yan's troops, and then continue Let me, the warriors of all banners in Manchuria, strike with thunder!”
After a long time, Duduo came out of the Chinese army's tent with a melancholy look on his face and walked in the dark camp. Miserable wailing sounds continued to be heard from all directions.
Using the light of the bonfire in the camp, Duduo saw at a glance several shamans "treating" the wounded soldiers in front of him.
When I got closer, I saw a few shamans dancing and spinning around a bonfire. They didn't know what they put in the fire. At this time, the bonfire turned orange-red, giving people a An almost coquettish feeling.
A dozen Manchu soldiers with white flags were injured by the new weapons of the Lingshan Guards. At this time, everyone was lying on the ground. Their hands and feet were connected, and they were arranged in a large circle. There was a bonfire in the center, and several people seemed to be going crazy. shaman.
Duduo couldn't help but frown. Although Duduo didn't have the same knowledge as the Han people, nor did he know the medical skills, but as a high-ranking man among the Manchus, his vision was naturally broad, and he understood that the shamans who were doing these things were liars, and using such shamans to The consequences of treating wounded soldiers can be imagined.
Amidst a burst of ups and downs of chanting, several shamans finally stopped dancing. Under the gaze of dozens of Qing soldiers around them, they took out a few stone-like objects from the bonfire with their bare hands, and then smashed these objects into pieces with force. Grind it into powder, mix it all with saliva and apply it to the wounds of the wounded soldiers.
Suddenly, there was a burst of screams. The expressions of the wounded soldiers were very painful. There were even two Qing soldiers who were seriously injured. They were pained to death. The surrounding Qing soldiers saw it and their expressions were very painful. Ugly, obviously frightened by the power of Ming army firearms.
Seeing this scene, Duduo could no longer bear it. He yelled and pulled the shamans away, then punched and kicked one of them to death in public.
The other shamans knelt on the ground and shivered, wondering why Prince Yu suddenly acted like this.
Duduo looked at the several shamans kneeling on the ground. Still feeling angry, he suddenly pulled out his long sword and hacked several of them to death.
"Somebody come!"
After killing the people, Duduo's anger subsided and he said loudly: "Go and find some Han doctors in the camp. Go quickly!"
The surrounding Qing soldiers hurriedly looked for people, and it took a long time to find two.
I saw that the two doctors looked frail and frail, their shorts were full of stains, and their faces were very tired. It was obvious that they had not rested for a long time.
When the two doctors saw Duduo in front of them and heard the Qing soldiers next to them introduce him as Prince Yu, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Duduo.
Duduo pointed to the wounded soldiers on the ground and said: "Treat them, revive the injured, and treat them with death!"
The two doctors hurriedly climbed over using their hands and feet, but when they saw the condition of more than a dozen wounded soldiers, they both looked like they were about to cry without tears.
One of the older doctors trembled and said: "Prince Qi Yu, these warriors were all injured by firecrackers. Most of the lead bullets that were injected into the body were not removed, and the wounds were not cleaned. I saw that the warriors' Various stone powders were applied to the wound, and it has completely suppurated."
"In the opinion of the villain, only the two warriors with injured legs and feet have a chance of survival, but they have to have their legs amputated. Life or death is uncertain. The rest of the warriors with injuries to the torso, villains, etc., even if they have supernatural powers, they will not be able to recover!"
Duduo looked gloomy and ordered two doctors to treat the injured Qing soldiers. Then he walked to the remaining wounded soldiers and sent them away one by one without saying a word.
The surrounding Qing soldiers were silent when they saw this. Duduo looked around, and then walked towards his tent without saying a word.
Some people died, but not completely...
