So, Obai began to make preparations. As expected, Wu Bashi sent someone to ask for help in a short time, saying that I can't fight, but I can't escape if I'm bitten. Come quickly, and I also brought a message. , saying that the other party only had more than a hundred riders, and the remaining half of the battalion was unknown.
Where else could he go? With that dog eunuch's pissing ability, he would beat you from the front to attract attention, and then sneakily steal you from behind. Of course, Obai didn't think that half of the battalion came to steal Songshan. To no avail, what kind of flowers can half a camp conjure up?
He guessed that the chief eunuch also knew that Zu Dashou had had sex with Wu Bash several times before, and at most he could only repel him. However, he obviously wanted to eat Wu Bash this time, so he divided his troops to fight one head-on and the other. Steal in the dark.
After all, this style of fighting is fast, ruthless, and devastating. Black Tiger Camp is afraid that Songshan will come to help and wants to win quickly.
Hey, it's just that the mantis is chasing the cicada and the oriole is behind you, how can you be allowed to come and leave whenever you want? Aobai quickly ordered his troops to go to the rescue. It was not that he was afraid that Wu Bash would be eaten if he left late, but Afraid of being eaten, Black Tiger Camp ran away.
So they sent 300 cavalry and 500 infantry. As for why it was not an all-cavalry formation, it was because after the two disastrous defeats last year, the Qing army suffered too heavy losses in horses. There was an acute shortage of horses in the army. The entire Songshan Fort had only a thousand cavalry, and The frontline Tashan Fort has occupied more than 200 people, and there are still more than 200 left in Songshan Fort for emergencies.
Although there were few cavalry, this 800-man team was indeed the elite of Obai's men. He was confident that he could defeat the Black Tiger Camp and even eat it. After the reinforcements were sent out, he sat on the mountain and waited for good news.
"Report...the fighting started at the foot of the mountain!" Before his buttocks were warmed up, the soldiers rushed to report. Obai didn't even react at the time. What was the fight at the foot of the mountain... He hurriedly climbed up to see, and saw that it was only three to five miles away from Songshan Mountain. , the fight is about to begin, a faint shout comes...
This... isn't this the fucking reinforcements that were just sent out...
Damn it, Obai suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that the half of the battalion that Wu Bash mentioned was not hiding in the dark to steal Xingshan, but came to Songshan to steal reinforcements!
Oh my god...Obai was angry and anxious. This stupid eunuch took all the precautions, but still fell into his trap, so he quickly ordered to send troops down the mountain to help. After all, the supporting soldiers were the elite of his direct lineage. If this is eaten...
Fortunately, we were close and the rescue was timely, otherwise it would have been really unthinkable, but even so, we still lost more than two hundred dollars. This made Obai so angry that he yelled at the eunuch. In fact, he wanted to scold the reinforcements general for being incompetent, but in the blink of an eye he thought about it. , even he might be able to do it, not to mention that the general was his cousin Tu Lai, who was also one of the four powerful generals of the Obai family, and it was he who ambushed the Ming army's food and grass.
After rescuing Tu Lai, the support soldier, he withdrew his troops back to the mountain. He did not pursue the pursuit or rush to help Xingshan. He was afraid of falling into Chang Yu's trap again because it was dark. At this time, Chang Yu was also worried about the pursuit of the Qing army, so he withdrew his troops back to Tashan. If he had known that he would continue to attack Xingshan without pursuing him, Wu Bashi would have been captured in all likelihood.
A little later, Wu Bashi came back with the remnant soldiers. With an angry look on his face, he asked Obai why he said he would not help and would not save him until he died, but Obai yelled at him, "You are so fucking incompetent that you can be attacked from both sides. If If you hadn't sent troops to repel the Ming army that wanted to attack you, you would have been captured now even if you were not dead!
These words made Wu Bashi break into a cold sweat. As expected, the half battalion of the Black Tiger Army was hiding in the dark and plotting against him, so he hurriedly said good things to Obai with a smile on his face.
Soon, Obai reported what happened here to Dorgon in Jinzhou, saying that the Black Tiger Camp of the East Factory Guards attacked Xingshan. Wu Bashi used the advantage of the terrain to repel half of the camp, and he led his troops to defeat it. Half a battalion planned a sneak attack, but Nomuqi went out of the formation without permission and was captured. His life or death is unknown.
When the news reached Jinzhou, Dorgon was convinced, but fell into deep thought. The two battalions of the great eunuch had left Ningyuan City and reached Tashan Fort. Should they fight or not?
If he is in it, will it be a trap?
Even if he wasn't there, it wouldn't be a loss if he ate two of his battalions!
But once Tashan Fort is attacked, it will inevitably trigger a war. Is this necessary? Is it worth it?
Instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative to attack and break his Tashan Fort. He may not launch an attack immediately. Winter is coming soon. The mountains are covered with heavy snow. Ningyuan is two hundred miles away from Jinzhou. He has nowhere to station troops and nowhere to station food. Could it be that Let the soldiers eat, drink, and defecate in the ice and snow... At this time, we have Songshan City as a screen, and Jinzhou is behind us, and we can help at any time. Let's see how he fights...
In the city of Jinzhou, the generals under Dorgon's tent were furious with each other. Some people felt that self-protection was not enough, so why take risks to poke a hornet's nest? It was the right thing to rest and gather food and prepare for war. Others felt that only when the troops were taking risks, could they be surprised. , a risky attack may change the situation, and at this time the internal struggle has entered a fever pitch, this action can move the internal contradictions outward...
Dorgon was originally a firm believer in the fight-and-fight group, but after listening to it for a while, his mind began to waver. The words of the main-war group made him waver. If he was serious about doing things, even if he tried his best, he would retire and rest until next year. If the opponent launches a large-scale attack in the spring, he may not be able to defend Jinzhou City. It is better to take him by surprise and turn his defense into an attack. This will catch the opponent off guard and disrupt his rhythm. There may be a surprise, and it may really change the current disadvantage. situation.
This was just one of them. The most fundamental reason for his wavering was the intense internal struggle.
There was no unity within the Qing court. The fundamental reason was the struggle for the throne. Dorgon wanted to be the emperor, and Hauge also wanted to be the emperor. But if no one could control the other, then neither of them should be the emperor. Instead, they supported Fulin as a puppet.
Although they had an emperor, neither of them gave up, and neither did their factions. They both wanted to overthrow and kill each other, and then pull Fulin to become emperor himself.
However, some people think that the current situation is good, and it would be good for Fulin to be the emperor. This group of people is called the status quo faction, and it is also the most obscure faction. Because they cannot express their thoughts openly and openly, no one can imagine that a few years later. The real winner is this puppet little emperor. After all, Hauge and Dorgon are too powerful at this time, and no one can afford to offend them. Jierharang, who is as stable as an old dog, also openly expressed his neutrality. Fear of being liquidated afterwards.
So the original three factions (Hauge, Dorgon, Neutral) became four factions.
After the disastrous defeat in the entrance battle, Hauge ran back to Shenyang from Jinzhou, and after a series of actions, he gained the upper hand in the court. However, he only gained the upper hand in the court and could not cause much real harm to Dorgon. , the reason is very simple, Dorgon now firmly controls the military power in his own hands!
I still agree with that sentence, whoever has soldiers and guns is the boss!
