After a while, Huang Taiji calmed down and his expression returned to calm.
But his red eyes showed the anger in his heart.
Huang Taiji glanced at the people in the tent and said coldly: "Don't think about blaming Ben Khan in your heart. Think about it, is there anything wrong with Ben Khan's decision-making in this war?"
Is there a problem?
Of course no problem!
There is no problem in decision-making or reaction speed. None of them would be able to do it.
At least in their understanding, there is no way to stop the impact of more than ten thousand crazy fire bulls, even if the Ming army has countless firearms, facts have proved that this is indeed the case.
But no one expected that the Ming army would have fire-breathing firearms that could spray fire more than ten meters away and would not be extinguished when exposed to water. This was beyond their knowledge, and their efforts fell short.
When the Fire Ox counterattacks, the light cavalry is fast and outflanks both sides. The heavy cavalry is slow but powerful. Forming a formation to resist the Fire Ox and delaying the attack. The infantry forming a formation to shoot the Fire Ox. This is the most correct approach.
This was also the case, so the losses were reduced as much as possible. The light cavalry held back the Ming army, buying time for the army to counterattack, and forced the Ming army to the river.
But who would have thought that the Ming army would plant such powerful explosive firearms on the battlefield, causing them complete chaos?
That kind of thing is probably top secret within the Ming army.
"I want you to think about it. I am not evading responsibility, but I want to tell you that the war has begun. We are grasshoppers on a rope. If we get in trouble, the final result will be to be killed by the Ming army.
Although we have lost more than 70,000 troops, we still have 330,000, and there are still 178,000 cavalry. We still have an advantage in terms of strength, and we still have many opportunities. "
"Based on the battle just now, let's talk about what to do next!"
After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he grabbed the water bag next to him and drank it.
Everyone looked at each other with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
"Judging from today's battle, the Ming army's biggest reliance is on explosive firearms and fire-breathing firearms.
Although there are more Folan cannons and tiger crouching cannons, we have launch vehicles. As long as we advance to 100 meters, the rest of the charge is just a matter of a few breaths.
Therefore, I suggest that we retreat directly to the south of Taizi River and station ourselves between Taizi River and Liaoyang.
Since the Ming army was able to build a bridge on the Liao River and attack with chariots and crossbows, the Hun River and Taizi River could not stop it. Rather than engage in a small-scale battle in the narrow areas of the two rivers, it would be better to retreat directly.
As long as the Ming army is thirty miles away from Taizi River, then we can circle behind them from both wings. We still have more than 300,000 troops. We will attack from all directions at the same time regardless of the cost. A charge of 100,000 or 200,000 cavalry will be absolutely destructive. sexual,
The worst result is that their entire army is annihilated, and we lose at least 60%. Even so, we still have about 100,000 troops left, and then we can march straight in and break through Shanhaiguan! "
"Tian Conghan, I also have an idea. I also retreat, but I retreat directly to Liaoyang City, defend the city, consume the Ming army's supplies, and look for opportunities. There are three reasons.
First, Liaoyang is a big city. The city wall has a base of 30 meters and a height of 12 meters. It is 16 miles around and has more than 300 observation points and more than 200 archery towers. Even if the Ming army used more than 100 Hongyi cannons to bombard it, , it also takes several days,
But do they have that many Hongyi cannons? Even if there is, can it be shipped?
Secondly, there were many castles around Liaoyang, with Liaoyang as the center. Troops were stationed in the surrounding castles. They sent signals with smoke and kept harassing them, which made the Ming army tired of coping and looking for fighter opportunities.
Third, there are tens of thousands of people in the city. Even if the Ming army hides some secret firearms that we don’t know about, we can still capture the people in the city and hang them on the city wall to see if they dare to violently attack the city;"
hiss……
Listening to the first two reasons of Yagyu Munenomi, everyone was still nodding secretly, but when it came to the third point, their eyes were full of shock.
"Don't be so surprised. The Ming army can use Hauge and others as a shield, why can't we? This is called treating others with their own treatment."
After everyone thought about it, it was indeed the case.
As long as the Ming army did not dare to attack the city, they could always hold on, consuming the Ming army's supplies and looking for fighter opportunities.
If the Ming army dared to attack the city and the news spread, the people of Ming Dynasty would be denounced verbally and writtenly.
"But what if the Ming army didn't care? They could find many excuses, such as the general's military orders outside the country were ignored, and a general on the front line couldn't help but attack the city when he saw the people being so humiliated, and committed suicide afterwards to atone for his sins.
Destroying us is a great achievement. The imperial court can build a memorial tower similar to the one outside Longjing Pass. In addition, the main criminal commits suicide, so the people will not be too entangled. "
"Yes, I have the same idea, and if we succeed in holding on and the Ming army retreats, the news that we used the people to resist will definitely spread. What will happen when the people riot?
Even if we can suppress them, they will be extremely hostile to us. If they are not afraid of thieves stealing, they are afraid of being missed. We have to be on guard all the time.
For example, poisoning the food that is handed in, food sold on the street, building river embankments and dams, or doing some tricks in building houses. We are poisoned and die, and the embankments and houses collapse. What should we do in this situation? "
"To take a step back, if the Ming army has not had any problems despite our harassment, how many days will the city's reserves be enough to feed our hundreds of thousands of soldiers? By then the food will be gone, and we will be self-defeating."
"General Yimo, I think the first option is more reliable. The plain is the main battlefield for our cavalry. We can attack from all directions. As long as one party breaks through the Ming army's defense line, the rest will be massacred."
"Yes, the main thing is to destroy the Ming army. Even if we lose half of it, we can accept it."
"Even if the attack is ineffective, we can still retreat. But if we enter Liaoyang City and are surrounded by the Ming army, it will be difficult for us to get out of the city."
…
"snort……"
In the midst of everyone's discussion, a cold snort interrupted everyone's discussion.
Everyone followed the sound, and it turned out to be Yagyu Munenomi who proposed the second plan. Yagyu Munenomi glanced at everyone and said coldly: "It is true that the plains are suitable for large regiments to charge, but do you have a chance to charge?
Forgot about the hard-to-prevent large-scale explosion of firearms by the river? As long as the Ming army buries a circle three miles around the camp, how many of you have enough people to blow them up?
One can take away 500 people. The Ming army only needs 600 to annihilate us. You don’t think that the Ming army can’t take out so many, right? "
call……
Yagyu Munenuki's words instantly caused everyone to fall into the ice cellar, and the passion just now dropped to the freezing point.
Thinking about the tragic situation just now, they trembled unconsciously. This situation is really... very likely to happen.
After all, the commander on the opposite side was Yuan Keli, who had been playing tricks on him.
"Tianconghan, what do you think?"
