"More than forty scouts can't catch four southern soldiers, they are all useless!"
In Jinzhou City, everyone could hear Azige's roar and tremble.
Dorgon, who was sitting on the main seat, also looked very unhappy.
But he felt even more that Azig's actions were directed at him.
Just when he and Duoduo returned from the army, Huang Taiji gave him a big gift.
It's also a hassle.
Huang Taiji reorganized the Eight Banners.
After this reorganization, Dorgon changed from Taiji to the official flag owner.
The owner of the white flag.
But it turns out that the owner of the white chess flag is his brother Azig.
After this reorganization, Azig changed from the leader of the Eight Banners to the leader of a small banner, and fell below him.
One can imagine Azig’s inner anger.
Although the three brothers are from the same mother, the relationship between them is actually not harmonious.
Azig's age is quite different from that of Dorgon and Duduo. They haven't spent much time together since childhood, so they are not close to each other.
This time, Dorgon robbed him of his position as banner leader, and Azig was even more furious.
He didn't dare to confront Huang Taiji, so he had to secretly make trouble for Dorgon.
The soldiers and horses of the two white flags of Houjin have all arrived near Jinzhou Guard. In order to support Dorgon in the battle, Huang Taiji also sent Wu Zhenchaoha out.
Gushan Ezhen Tong Yangxing saw Azige stirring up trouble and quickly intervened.
"Tell me what's going on."
With his turn, the scolded scouts all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me tell you, it's not that the slaves are greedy for life and afraid of death. It's actually these southern soldiers who are quite weird."
Just talking is not enough, the scout quickly presented something.
There is a metal claw on the long rope, which was left behind when Man Liao and others retreated.
Tong Yangxing took it and after just one glance, his expression changed.
"Mergendaiqing, look, it's actually made of steel."
Dorgon immediately became serious.
"How can these Ming troops be so extravagant?"
Who doesn’t know that steel is good?
However, steel is rare, and if you occasionally harvest a little bit, you can't wait to use it to build weapons.
But the scouts of the "Ming Army" used fine steel to make such claws just for climbing and escaping, which was completely beyond the knowledge of the Hou Jin generals.
"Not only that, the crossbow arrows used by these Nanbarbarians are also made of steel."
The scout presented something else.
It was the crossbow arrows fired by Man Liao and others during the battle.
In order to ensure the power, not only the crossbow is made of steel, but these short arrows are also made of steel arrowheads.
Within forty steps, even heavy armor cannot prevent him.
Several senior executives of Houjin looked at the equipment one by one, and they all couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts.
They are all accustomed to fighting with the Ming Dynasty, and they know the morality of the Ming army best.
When did the Ming army reach the point where they regarded fine steel as if it were nothing?
"Have any flag documents been seized?"
Duduo became curious and wanted to know the origin of the Ming army in front of Lushun.
The scout shook his head, but reported a situation.
"The Southern soldiers that the slaves encountered were dressed very differently. Their clothes were all khaki and very short. They had no hem and looked very strange."
Dorgon and others looked at each other in confusion, becoming increasingly unclear about the situation.
They knew the Ming Dynasty's army very well.
I have never worn khaki military uniforms.
This unexpected situation undoubtedly added haze to the subsequent battle.
Shi Tingzhu made suggestions cautiously.
"Mergen Daiqing, there is a saying in the art of war: Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Now the enemy in front of us is strange and unpredictable, so we cannot be careless. We still need to find a way to find out the details of the enemy in front of us."
Dorgon listened to this.
"What's General Shi's clever plan?"
While thinking about it, Shi Tingzhu said slowly: "In order to find out the details of the enemy in front of us, we might as well send an envoy to negotiate with them. If we can force Mingren to give up Lushun, everything will be fine. Even if it fails, we can still take this opportunity to understand the enemy. Virtual reality.”
Dorgon has always been decisive and knows that this method is very feasible.
"Ilden, you will go with General Shi as an envoy to meet with the Nanmanzi."
The next general heard this, his face full of reluctance, but he had to accept it.
Niu Hulu Yildeng was the tenth son of Eyidu, the fifth minister of the Later Jin Dynasty. He was born in Xianghuangqi.
After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he was sent to assist with two white flags.
Obviously this is the nail arranged by Huang Taiji among the two white flags to monitor the Dorgon brothers.
This left Ildon struggling inside the two white flags, and everything went wrong.
Sure enough, this time the trouble fell on him.
But Elden knew very well that he could never refuse.
Otherwise, if Dorgon uses military law, his death will be in vain.
On the Lushun side, Man Liao and others also reported the military situation after returning.
"With the two white flags and Wu Zhenchaoha, we have at least more than 20,000 troops. Our defense line is too long, especially most of it is mountainous. If we are not careful, the Tatars will burst in. Therefore, we must mobilize the militia to supplement the defense line. .”
Yu Lichun began to make arrangements based on the intelligence.
Although the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula is gradually closing, the defense line of the advance detachment heading north is still very long.
The official road in the west from the mountainous area to the sea is naturally the focus of defense.
There is also a mountain path on the east side to reach Lushun.
There is no room for error on either path.
In addition, there is a mountainous area with complex terrain and vast area in the middle.
This is where the later Dalian Jinlong Temple National Forest Park and Hengshan Temple are located.
With the complicated terrain, the advance detachment heading north alone would definitely not have enough troops to ensure that there was no leakage.
Geng Wanrong was very supportive of Lichun's judgment.
"Then deploy the two militia groups here. They don't need to fight a tough battle. They just need to hold the line and prevent the Tatars from rushing over."
Chief of Staff Xiong Xin reminded: "We cannot fight without reserves. Since our troops are insufficient, we will recruit reserves in Lushun and replenish them at any time."
The people of Ming Dynasty here in Lushun have now changed.
Most people have moved to Laizhou to settle, and then many people moved from Shandong.
Since they are ordinary people in Shandong, they have naturally been exposed to basic military training.
It would definitely not work if they were actually sent to the battlefield, but they could still do the job as a backup.
The three chief officers quickly reached an agreement and immediately dispatched troops and generals.
After several years of silence, the Liaodong Peninsula is at war again.
This battle will determine whether Hou Jin can unify Liaodong.
Once Houjin fails and the new army gains a foothold in the Liaodong Peninsula, Houjin will face endless troubles in the future.
Same thing.
Once Houjin captures Lushun, they will have no worries.
It can free up most of the troops to conquer Mongolia in the west and North Korea in the east, completely breaking the external siege.
It was a small battle, but one with far-reaching consequences.
For this reason, the commanders on both sides began to prepare carefully.
