More than ten miles north of the capital city of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army's camp was lifeless and completely different from the fierce momentum when they first entered the pass. Dorgon was ambitious and wanted to attack the imperial capital in one fell swoop. However, he prepared for several days, but finally God failed and he attacked fiercely for several hours. In the end, due to the unfavorable conditions of the time and place, we withdrew our troops back to the camp and declared failure.
Before attacking the city, Dorgon and the Qing generals had actually taken into account all factors and knew that the chances of breaking through such a large city without artillery support would not be too great. However, they were angered by Chang Yu. Secondly, I was lucky enough to pick up the leak. After all, Daming is a soft persimmon now. Who knows if water will come out if he pinches it.
But what Dorgon didn't expect was that even though he had been mentally prepared, once the cruel reality was in front of him, it would be extremely difficult for him to accept it.
Really failed!
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse? Are centipede insects dead but not stiff? …
I still underestimated Daming.
A feeling of frustration that is hard to get rid of has not diminished at all since yesterday when the troops were withdrawn. This makes Dorgon feel depressed all the time. But after all, he is a hero-level figure. Although he is angry, he does not show it. He was filled with murderous intent, and all the generals under his command knew that the anger in the regent's heart was already overwhelming.
Yesterday's fierce attack caused heavy casualties and visual and psychological terror to the Ming army. However, the Qing army also suffered heavy casualties. Except for the captured Ming civilians, eight out of ten artillery pieces died, and thousands of his elite soldiers were also lost. Everyone, this is what makes it most difficult for him to forgive himself.
In a moment of anger, impulsiveness, and luck, he made a hasty decision that resulted in the casualties of thousands of troops and reduced morale to the extreme. Dorgon decided to take responsibility for this himself.
With the wine in hand, Dorgon slept until midnight after a night of hangover. Hearing the noise outside and faint curses, he got up in confusion and washed his face. He walked out of the tent and saw not far away, Azig was whipping a quilt. The Han man tied to the wooden stake was covered in blood and flesh and had long been unconscious.
Dorgon didn't ask what was going on. Azig was violent and cruel, and there was no reason to beat or kill people just based on his mood.
Looking up to the sky, the overcast clouds are disappearing with the wind, and the sun is looming. It is a good day when the weather is neither cold nor hot, and it is best to let horses drink water, rob, and kill people.
However, Dorgon was not in a hurry to break camp and leave immediately. He still needed his troops to rest for one more day and then take the opportunity to regain their morale, so he was anxious for his generals to discuss matters.
In the commander's tent, the generals surrounded the city. Dorgon, who was in charge, was rubbing his head vigorously. He drank too much and had a splitting headache. He listened with strong energy to the latest intelligence reports from each department.
Early in the morning, the Ming army went around for reconnaissance. Dozens of troops went south and north, and even took the initiative to provoke the Qing army. Several small-scale fights broke out, with both sides suffering casualties.
Later, the Ming army sent people out of the city to clean the battlefield, clean up the corpses, and sent out heavy troops to prepare for the situation to prevent the Qing army from taking the opportunity to send troops to harass.
Dorgon sneered when he heard this. The little eunuch was indeed impeccable in his work. He was sure that the man in charge of the troops in the capital of Ming Dynasty at this time must be the admiral eunuch of Dongchang.
The reason is very simple. The capital's military strength is empty and there are no generals, and the eunuch who once led troops out of the border to defeat him will naturally be entrusted with important tasks at this time. Moreover, several battles in the past few days have allowed him to see clues, techniques, and tactics. , the trick is too familiar to them, yes, it’s still the same formula and the same taste, it must be the dog eunuch.
Daming actually came out
