Dorgon sat on the tower and drank several glasses of strong wine.
Daqian's Lanqiao Fengyue costs one hundred and fifty taels of silver per pot.
It is packed with fine porcelain and placed in a wooden box. There is silk wrapping the porcelain in the wooden box.
Just holding this bottle of wine is very high-end, giving people a feeling of priceless value.
Wine is also good wine.
In the past, only dark wine was considered good wine. Nowadays, clear wine is considered good wine.
Pour it into a porcelain cup and it's crystal clear, with no residue at all.
This wine costs one hundred taels in Daqian, and after leaving the customs, it costs one hundred and fifty taels when sold to Beiyan.
Dorgon, the prince of Beiyan, could only drink one pot a month.
His mind gradually moved away from the Daqian camp in the dark night. He was thinking not only about tonight's night attack, but about the entire Beiyan.
"We have won this battle. We can breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, but Daqian will not give up and will definitely raise his troops again."
"At that time, it is very likely that Prince Xiao Yi and Xiao Zheng will join forces, and the Imperial Guards and the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun will attack the border with their troops. When they approach Yanjing City, they will still face a life-or-death battle."
"This battle...if we lose, we will retreat to Yanjing for the final decisive battle."
"But tonight, no matter what, we must fight to the end."
"If we can kill one more person, we can defend Yanjing City for one more day."
After Dorgon had a drink, he put down his glass and said to Daishan in front of him.
Drinking is not allowed in the military.
But it is generally to prevent drinking from causing trouble and delaying the fight.
And tonight is a special moment, Dorgon doesn't want to forget the taste of Lanqiao Fengyue before he dies.
So I took it out and asked Daishan to have a few drinks on the tower.
Daishan listened to Dorgon's words and thought about why he was saying this to himself at this time.
Based on his understanding of Dorgon, this man has always coveted the throne of Beiyan.
If it weren't for Murong Yin's legitimate son, the crown prince of Northern Yan appointed by the late emperor, and later, with the support of him, Mang Gurtai, Obai and others, he would successfully ascend the throne as emperor.
Dorgon must come forward and grab it.
"You seem to have no confidence in His Majesty?" Daishan asked hypocritically.
In fact, he himself had lost confidence in Murong Yin.
With Daqian's current strength as a tiger descending from the mountain, unless Dayan also mastered such powerful weapons, it would be impossible for him to be able to fight.
Dorgon glanced at Daishan with disdain and asked, "Do you still believe that His Majesty can defend Yanjing?"
Dai Shan replied: "If Prince Xiao Yi quickly pacifies Meng Yuan and comes directly from Datong Pass without going to Wulan to control the situation, it will be difficult for Your Majesty to hold Yanjing."
Dorgon thought about this possibility for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Even if Prince Xiao Yi doesn't come, Yanjing City cannot be defended."
"Don't forget that from the beginning to the end, that Yan King Xiao Zheng never left seclusion."
Dai Shan said bluntly: "Your Majesty has never personally conquered the war."
Dorgon moved forward slightly, looked at Daishan and said, "It's different."
Daishan asked: "What's the difference?"
Dorgon leaned back and got himself a glass of Lanqiao Fengyue, picked it up and smelled it.
"If you act like this, I have nothing to say."
Daishan looked at Dorgon.
The other party closed his eyes and smelled the Blue Bridge Fengyue in the cup, then took a small sip, then tasted it carefully and stopped talking.
The cold wind howled.
There is a pile of firewood in the tower. When it burns, it will make a crackling sound.
On the city wall, soldiers from the Zhengbai Banner of Beiyan's Eight Banners stood guard in the cold wind.
At every little distance, a brazier will be set up with firewood in it.
Not only can it be used as a fire candle, but it can also be used to keep warm.
Daishan saw Dorgon sitting there in silence, eyes closed, and even Lan Qiao Fengyue stopped drinking.
He had no choice but to say: "I know that with Beiyan's current strength, it is not easy to defend Yanjing."
"Xiao Zheng hasn't shown up yet, so he must be preparing luggage at the rear."
"It's better to wait until Zhuozhou City is defeated and directly surround Yanjing City."
"I heard that Xiao Zheng won Daqian Hebei Road, Henan Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road and other places."
"These places have always been fertile places."
"Xiao Zheng must have used these places to raise more armies."
"What we are facing now is nothing more than the former army."
"Yes and no?"
Dorgon opened his eyes, nodded, and said, "Well, I thought so too, that's why I had that thought."
"Your Majesty is indeed a heroic leader. He has not lost his ambition and has the ambition to devour the world."
"Not much worse than that prince Xiao Yi."
"However, Beiyan is in a bitter cold land, with not many people and not much food."
"With the strength of the whole country, we will raise 600,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners."
"There are three hundred thousand elites among them."
"But in the battle of Baoding Pass, Duduo's white flag and your red flag suffered relatively heavy losses. It's probably the same for Aobai. So far, they haven't been able to take Lingqiu Pass. They have also been stopped when they tried to attack Datong Pass. ”
"Now, he has been recalled to the capital by His Majesty to recharge his batteries."
"After tonight's battle, my pure white flag, your pure red flag, the bordered red flag, and Duduo's bordered white flag are estimated to have suffered greater damage."
"How many troops can the capital have? The troops that can fight are His Majesty's Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, Azige's Zhenglan Banner, and Xianglan Banner."
"We are facing Xiao Zheng's former army and cannot defend Zhuozhou."
"Can your Majesty be able to defend Yanjing against Xiao Zheng's pro-army?"
Daishan lowered his head slightly, looked at the cup in his hand, and shook his head.
Can't hold on.
It really can't be defended.
Originally.
They saw that Da Qian was treacherous and harmed the country. In addition, they heard that five eunuchs were plotting rebellion. They already had the potential to overthrow the country. They were overjoyed.
Later, when I heard that it was Prince Xiao Yi who was supervising the country, he even danced with joy.
Because they had already found out that the prince of Daqian was a loser. If such a person became the prince of the prison country, it must be the work of the traitor Li Linfu.
It is precisely because of this that there is a bigger idea.
That is to unite with Meng Yuan and devour the Jin people first.
Over the years, the Jin people have become more and more rampant. They have repeatedly blocked the border and invaded Beiyan's border. On several occasions, they broke into the border and burned, killed and looted in Beiyan. It was even serious enough to threaten the safety of Yanjing. .
Murong Yin felt that if he wanted to attack Daqian and go south to the Central Plains, he must deal with this young man like Jin Ren.
It's so annoying.
The same goes for Meng Yuan.
The same is true for the border pass of Daqian, namely Datong Pass.
If the Liao king hadn't defended it for generations, and Xiao Zheng had been secretly supporting it and providing a lot of help, Datong Pass would have been broken by the Jin people long ago.
Murong Yin's proposal naturally received Temujin's support.
He also dislikes the golden man.
That's why Murong Xueyuan was appointed as the envoy of the mission and went south to the Central Plains. He expressed his surrender to Daqian and asked to go to war to destroy the Jin people.
Daqian's intention all along is also very obvious, which is to let the four northern countries attack each other.
Whoever is stronger will be beaten.
Support whoever is weak.
But now Emperor Daqian is seriously ill in bed, the useless prince oversees the country, and the treacherous prime minister Li Linfu controls the court.
As long as they are given benefits, Daqian will definitely agree to Beiyan's attack on gold.
Murong Yin did this because he wanted to find out the actual situation of Daqian. He wanted to know the thoughts of the treacherous prime minister Li Linfu, and knew that Emperor Daqian still had a few days left to live, so as to test Xiao Zheng at Baoding Pass.
Who knew that if he went there, he would lose both the princess and the army.
Beiyan succeeded in cutting down gold.
Now, he failed to successfully break through the barrier and head south to the Central Plains. Instead, he was defeated by Xiao Zheng's Yanyun Sixteenth Cavalry and lost their armor.
Dorgon once again poured a glass of wine for Daishan and said softly: "You are the great Beile of Beiyan, and you are also the descendant of Taizu's bloodline."
"Beiyan cannot really lose the country and cut off its bloodline."
"At this point, we have to think about how to preserve the dragon if we can't stop it."
"Escape to Beihai, or surrender and become vassal."
Dai Shan was silent for a while and said: "If you surrender and become a vassal, if that prince Xiao Yi really builds some kind of world unity, who will remember Bei Yan hundreds of years later?"
Seeing this, Dorgon nodded with satisfaction.
…
Midnight came and there was no cicada chirping.
At the end of the first month, the cold wind is still howling.
On the Daqian camp, the only sounds made were the soldiers patrolling, and on the back camp, the only sounds were the cold wind blowing on the tents.
Looking at the Zhuozhou city wall again, the soldiers guarding the city have changed into two shifts.
It was really cold on the city wall at night.
If he had stood there any longer, he would have frozen to death.
As for the camp united by Zhengbai Banner and Zhenghong Banner next to Zhuozhou City, they could only hear the sound of the howling cold wind.
Suddenly, there was a faint scream.
"Hala, hala!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack, the enemy has stolen the camp!"
"..."
A group of soldiers on patrol had their necks wiped directly in the darkness.
However, a straggler of the Northern Yan clan saw it and immediately screamed.
"puff."
A short crossbow shot directly towards the face and penetrated into the face of the Beiyan soldier.
"Bang."
The Beiyan soldier fell directly to the ground.
However, he screamed like this.
The whole camp knew it.
"kill!"
The captain of the Sixteenth Cavalry of Daqian Yanyun raised his arms and shouted.
soon.
Fire appeared in the southwest corner of Beiyan Camp.
The tent was set on fire.
On the tower.
Dorgon opened his eyes, listened to the movement in the camp, the sound of war drums and gongs, and said in a deep voice: "It has begun."
A thousand households with a white flag hurriedly walked in, patted their sleeves, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Reporting to the prince, there is an enemy attack at night in the southwest of the camp."
Dorgon nodded.
There was originally a trap.
Now, there is a night attack there, which means that the trap has worked.
As for how much results it can bring, it's hard to say now.
at the same time.
Somewhere underground somewhere in the northeast of the camp of the Sixteenth Cavalry of Daqian Yanyun, after hearing the sound of war drums, Fengshen Yinde had someone dig a tunnel.
He first asked people to climb up and explore the surrounding area.
After confirming that it was safe and not discovered by the enemy, others were allowed to crawl out of the tunnel one after another.
Over at Daqian Camp, the horn has already sounded.
Not far away, in the direction of his own camp, shouts of killing resounded throughout the wilderness.
He immediately led people to the rear of the Daqian camp. He wanted to complete the most critical surprise attack in this battle.
That is the lack of baggage in the army behind the Daqian military camp.
In this way, the prince can win the war to defend Zhuozhou.
"call……."
The fire was raging.
After Fengshen Yinde killed hundreds of guards and many of his own people died in the battle, he finally lit the fire.
There are still three hundred people. As long as they can defend this place and prevent the enemy from putting out the fire, or preferably burn the entire camp, they will win.
On the tower.
Qianhu from Zhengbai Banner strode into the greenhouse, clapped his sleeves, knelt down on one knee, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, there is a big fire behind Dagan Camp, and the matter is done!"
Dorgon and Daishan stood up immediately and strode out of the greenhouse.
Open the curtain and face the cold wind.
He shivered slightly, but ignored it and stood directly behind the battlements, looking in the direction of Dagan's camp.
"Feng Shen Yin De is a warrior!"
