"you dare!"
The Jurchen ginseng leader looked at Wu Sangui with a gloomy look.
"What dare I not do? You promised to send troops together, but now you stay behind to watch the fun. Why should Guan Ning's army fight for you, but the final credit falls on you guys?" Wu Sanguihao He looked directly at the Jurchen ginseng leader in front of him without showing any signs of weakness.
The Jurchen ginseng leader, whose idea was revealed, said with a little lack of confidence: "We have to wait until the right time to attack. The time is not yet possible. Even if we send out, we will only fight with the tiger thieves, which is of no benefit to the overall situation." , it’s better to wait for a better opportunity.”
"You fart." Wu Sangui said unceremoniously, "I really think I'm a stickman who doesn't understand anything. I'm just here to give you a message. If you don't take action, Guan Ningjun will withdraw even if he loses some money."
"You are so brave. No one is allowed to retreat without my order." How could the Jurchen military commander allow the Guan Ning cavalry in front to retreat, otherwise all the previous sacrifices would be in vain.
"I'm just informing you, not discussing with you anymore." After saying that, Wu Sangui turned his horse's head and rode back to Zu Dashou.
The Jurchen ginseng leader who stayed where he was had a gloomy face.
He didn't want to see Guan Ningjun's cavalry retreat, but he knew that he couldn't restrain Guan Ningjun's people at all. Guan Ningjun had always obeyed the orders of Uncle Ning Yuan, Zu Dashou, and was not as obedient as the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.
"Commander, this guy doesn't take you seriously. If my subordinates hadn't found an opportunity to kill him," an Eight Banners soldier whispered, not forgetting to glance at Wu Sangui who was riding away.
"A Chinese dog wants to ride on my head, and I will kill you sooner or later." The Jurchen ginseng leader cursed, and then said to the person next to him, "Go to the prince's place and think about Guan Ningjun." Tell the prince about your return."
"嗻!"
A Jurchen white-armored soldier turned around and sent a message to Jierhalang.
Wu Sangui, who returned to Zu Dashou, said with an ugly face: "Uncle, the Jurchens are going to let our Guan Ning army fight on the battlefield so that they can take advantage of it."
"I know." Zu Dashou's face turned pale.
Ever since Wu Sangui went to find the Jurchen leader, the Eight Banners cavalry had not been dispatched, so he guessed what these Jurchens were planning.
"Uncle, what should we do?" Wu Sangui asked anxiously.
His own father was still fighting on the battlefield, and he longed to replace him with his own father.
Zu Dashou's face looked uncertain.
If possible, he would have wanted to have his cavalry on the battlefield retreat.
However, the cavalry of both sides have already been fighting each other. If they retreat at this time, their own cavalry will only be defeated. It is unknown how many people will be lost before they can withdraw from the battlefield.
"If uncle is worried, why not send the general to kill us and find a way to bring our people back." Wu Sangui looked at Zu Dashou.
Not all the cavalry of Guan Ning's army were sent out, and some remained behind as a reserve force just in case. However, the number of cavalry left behind was only less than one-third of the total number.
Seeing that Zu Dashou was silent, Wu Sangui said again: "The last general is willing to take the military order himself, and he will definitely bring all of us back on the battlefield safely."
"You can't go." Zu Dashou said expressionlessly.
Seeing that Zu Dashou disagreed, Wu Sangui said in an urgent tone: "Uncle, our people are about to lose their hold. If we don't support them, the tiger thieves' cavalry will come over."
"Will it work if you go there?" Zu Dashou asked Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui said: "You can only know if it works or not. Even if the general cannot change the situation on the battlefield, he can still find a way to save more people."
"What if you get in too?" Zu Dashou asked again.
Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I will ensure that I come back alive and intact."
"Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, what guarantee do you have!" Zu Dashou's voice became louder.
"me!"
Wu Sangui stuttered a few times, but finally said nothing.
Because he really has no guarantee that he will come back alive. Anything can happen on the court. Sometimes the less you want to die, the faster it will be.
Zu Dashou looked at Wu Sangui and said: "For your mother's sake, I'm telling you this. What you have to do now is to stay by my side honestly. Remember, only I'm here." With Ning Jun here, you can have a good life in the Qing Dynasty. Think about those guys from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, they work as cattle and horses for the Jurchens, how can they be as comfortable as you living with me."
"But the general's father!" Wu Sangui said with a worried look on his face.
Zu Dashou said: "Whether your father can come back alive depends on whether he has this fate. If something happens to your father, you have to live even more. Whether our life in Qing Dynasty is good or not depends entirely on the care of this uncle." Ning Iron Cavalry and Guan Ning Iron Cavalry cannot all be lost here."
"As long as the general brings people to support, he may not be defeated!" Wu Sangui said.
Zu Dashou's face turned cold and said: "Even if we win this battle, my uncle's Guan Ning cavalry has been damaged, so I might as well hope that this battle is defeated. At least I can keep Guan Ning." Ning’s cavalry.”
Wu Sangui lowered his head and said nothing.
Although he was not convinced by Zu Dashou's words, he knew that his father's life was far less important to Zu Dashou than Zu Dashou's power in the Qing Dynasty.
The fighting on the battlefield continues.
The Tiger Banner Cavalry Division has begun to take advantage, suppressing Guan Ning's cavalry.
Guan Ning's cavalry suffered more and more casualties on the battlefield, and their number became smaller and smaller.
Jierhalang, who was behind the battlefield, was always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
When he saw that Guan Ning's cavalry was defeated, he would be defeated sooner or later if he continued.
Unlike Zu Dashou, Zu Dashou could not care about winning or losing the war and only cared about his own strength, but he was different. He had to consider the Qing Dynasty.
For the Qing Dynasty, this battle can only be won but not defeated.
"Tell Zu Dashou to send out all the cavalry under his command." Jierhalang asked one of his men, Ba Yala, to pass the order to Zu Dashou.
"嗻!"
Bagala turned around and rushed to Zu Dashou.
Dorgon on the side said: "Zu Dashou will not send troops honestly. After all, he promised to reinforce his thousand and eight banner cavalry before. I think it is better to let our people take action! If it is too late, once Guan Ning's army comes over, If there is a rout, it will be too late to send people to support.”
Ji Erhalang hesitated.
I feel that Zu Dashou may really refuse to send troops in order to preserve his strength, as Dorgon said.
In order to implement the Qing Dynasty's strategy smoothly, he knew that he could only send the cavalry from the Eight Banners to support him. He believed that as long as the defeat on the battlefield was reversed, Zu Dashou would definitely continue to add more troops.
