"Brother, enough of our people have died, we can't die anymore." Zu Dabi looked at Zu Dashou and said.
Zu Dashou was speechless.
Wu Xiang on the side said: "Otherwise, the boss will send someone back to ask the Great Khan. After all, all the cannons sent by the Great Khan have been destroyed. If you force his men to attack the city, I am afraid there will be trouble."
"Yes, brother." Zu Dabi looked at Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou hesitated for a moment and said: "Retreat the troops. I will send someone to talk to the Great Khan, but we must be prepared for the worst."
"I think the Great Khan should be able to understand us." Wu Xiang said.
"I hope so." Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang thought so well next.
Only a few thousand Guan Ning's troops died, which obviously did not meet Huang Taiji's requirements. It is likely that more people will die next.
At this time, Zu Dabi said: "I used to think that there would be a way to survive by joining Daikin, but now it seems that this way of survival is really not that good, brother, otherwise let's find another way!"
Huang Taiji asked Guan Ningjun to die, which made Zu Dabi dissatisfied.
"Do you think we still have options?" Zu Dashou asked back, and then he replied, "The tiger thieves can no longer tolerate us. It is impossible to enter the Ming Dynasty through Shanhaiguan. We can go through the grasslands, where there are no people who are not tiger thieves." Even for the people of Daijin, the road to the Ming Dynasty through the grassland is blocked, not to mention that we don’t even have food and grass now, and we need Daikin to solve it, because where can we go without food and grass!"
Hearing this, Zu Dabi raised his right hand and slapped himself, and cursed: "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have surrendered to Dai Jin. At least I could have stayed with Ning Jin for a while longer."
"What's the use of talking about this now." Zu Dashou glanced at Zu Dabi and said, "Let's all go back and appease the people under our command. Let's wait and see whether we want to attack Shanhaiguan next!"
After saying that, he didn't care about Zu Dabi and others, and walked away by himself.
The surrounding generals dispersed one after another.
As soon as Guan Ning's army retreated, Shanhaiguan began to replenish consumption, and at the same time began to put out meals in batches.
"How is the situation?" Lao Wu came to the crenel with a piece of cake in his hand.
One of the battalions on the side spoke: "Guan Ning's army has retreated a few miles away. It is unlikely that they will continue to attack the city for a while. However, the slave thieves on the other side of the two white flags have not left. Some of them are not sure. What's the meaning."
Lao Wu raised the monocular telescope in his hand and looked in the direction of the two white flags.
After looking at them for a while, he said: "Don't pay attention to them. Just arrange for people to keep an eye on them. I will arrange for people to send some ten thousand enemies in a while, but you should use them sparingly. Nearly half of them were consumed in the previous battle."
"Otherwise, Deputy Commander, please contact the rear and ask them to send more tens of thousands of enemies. This thing is so useful for defending the city. You don't have to worry about throwing it down. It is more lethal and is better than pouring kerosene on it. That’s a lot.” Ying Zheng on the side said with a smile.
When Lao Wu heard this, he rolled his eyes at the other party and said: "What are you thinking? These ten thousand enemies were brought all the way from Xuanfu. At this time, Xuanfu has no need to rush to send them here. Is it possible that you still want to send them here?" I really thought that the army of slaves and thieves outside could surround Shanhaiguan for a month or two!"
"My subordinates hope that the slave thieves can besiege us for a longer period of time, and we can also kill these slave thieves." Ying Zheng said next to him.
Lao Wu glanced at Guan Ningjun in the distance and said, "That bitch Huang Taiji is smart. Even though there were so many people killed in this battle, all those who died were Guan Ningjun who had just surrendered to him."
"Aren't there still two white flags over there? You never know when they will come to attack Shanhaiguan." The battalion on the side was pouting in the direction of the two white flags.
Lao Wu looked in the direction of the two white flags and said, "Then you just hope they come to attack the city!"
After saying that, he took a bite of the pancake in his hand and left.
The war had not reached a fever pitch, so there was no need for him, the deputy commander, to personally sit on the city wall. He came here just for a simple inspection.
As the person with the highest position in Shanhaiguan in the Tiger-Character Banner Army, his presence is far more important than going up to the city wall to defend the city with his subordinates.
If someone accidentally dies while defending the city, it will definitely have an impact on the city defense.
After seeing the withdrawal of Guan Ning's troops, Dorgon of the Two White Banners reported the situation on the battlefield back to Bali Town. At the same time, Zu Dashou's people also returned to Bali Town.
Huang Taiji, who was in Bali Town, did not pay too much attention to the battle at Shanhaiguan. Instead, he was arranging for some people from the Eight Han Banners and the Xianghuang Banner to take back the goods and transport them back to Shengjing.
Along the way from Jinzhou to Bali Town, all the Damingbao Fortresses along the way fell into the hands of Dai Jin, which also made Dai Jin gain a lot and brought back a wave of blood.
"Master, Fifteen Baylor is here." Obai came to Huang Taiji to report.
After hearing this, Huang Taiji frowned slightly and said to himself: "Why is Lao Shiwu back? He shouldn't be with Dorgon."
After hesitating for a moment, he said to Obai: "Bring the people here!"
"Hey." Obai retreated.
Not long after, Duduo was brought in from outside the house by Obai.
"I've seen the Great Khan." Duduo saluted Huang Taiji carelessly.
He is Baylor of Dajin and the leader of a banner. He is also one of the people in Dajin who is qualified to participate in political discussions, so he does not need to kowtow to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji looked at Duduo and asked with a smile: "The fifteenth brother is not at Shanhaiguan, why did he come back suddenly?"
"Originally, I wanted to send someone back, but Brother Fourteen insisted that I come back and tell the Khan personally that I had no choice but to come back." Duduo spread his hands.
Huang Taiji heard that Duduo and Dorgon were close, and said with a calm expression: "What message did the Fourteenth ask you to bring back?"
"It's not a secret. Brother Fourteen asked me to tell the Great Khan that all the dozens of cannons sent by the Great Khan to support Guan Ning's army were destroyed. Brother Fourteen said that if the Great Khan still wants to take Shanhaiguan, he needs to think of something else. method." Duduo said.
Huang Taiji frowned upon hearing this.
The people sent back by Zu Dashou hadn't arrived yet, so he had indeed just learned the news.
"Did you read that correctly? Those are dozens of cannons?" Huang Taiji couldn't help but ask.
Not long after dozens of cannons were delivered, they were completely destroyed so quickly. He couldn't believe it was true.
Duduo said: "My brother saw with his own eyes that those cannons were destroyed, and the tiger thieves deployed a large number of cannons in Shanhaiguan. The cannons sent by the Great Khan did not threaten Shanhaiguan at all."
"How is this possible!" Huang Taiji still didn't want to believe it.
After all, there are dozens of cannons. In his opinion, it is normal to destroy a few cannons, but if all dozens of cannons are destroyed in a short period of time, it is unless it is done by one of his own people.
