In this battle, the Qing Dynasty was still the main defender, and the Ming army came to attack. What I never expected was that this Dongjiang army was so powerful. If I hadn't grasped the weakness of the North Korean army, I might have failed!
What's more important is that he has a military strength of more than 10,000, of which there are more than 1,000 white-armored soldiers alone. The other soldiers are actually elite. But even so, he almost failed!
Thinking about these things, Yue Tuo became even more worried. Previously, I was worried that there were too many troops on my side and the Ming army would not come to help. Now that I think about it, it’s really funny!
This battle, although on the surface, the camp was defended and the Ming army did not succeed, it seemed to be a victory. However, Yue Tuo sighed, looking at Pyongyang City, which was also dim in the dark night, with an unusually heavy expression.
Before this battle, the Qing army had always had a psychological advantage over the Ming army. Even if Ying'erdai was attacked by the Ming army and the entire army was annihilated, it did not affect the psychological advantage of the Qing Dynasty.
Because in that battle, for the Qing Dynasty, it was more of a sneak attack by the Ming army, not a crime of war, but of being dragged down by pig teammates. Because, even if the entire army is annihilated, from the perspective of the Qing army, the Qing Dynasty is still invincible in field battles. Or even if it is not said to be invincible in field battles, as long as the same number of Ming troops are there, the Qing army can fight at will. Winner.
However, this battle wiped out the advantage that the Qing army had in its mind. You know, in this battle, the Qing army actually outnumbered the Ming army in terms of numbers. As for the North Korean army, this kind of success is not enough but failure is more than enough, so it is completely ignored.
Yue Tuo had already discovered this when he walked all the way to the camp entrance to observe Pyongyang. What I saw along the way was that most of the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty had low morale and were in a very wrong mood.
Although in Yue Tuo's opinion, in this battle, if the losses of the Korean army were not counted, the casualties of the Qing army and the Ming army should be about the same, and they did not suffer much. However, in terms of morale, he was certain that it would definitely be hit harder than the Ming army.
Thinking like this, Yue Tuo became a little doubtful. Can the camp still be defended? At dawn tomorrow, what if the Ming army persists and continues its massive attack? Can he still withstand the Ming army's attack?
As a coach, he has to consider this issue.
After a long time, Yue Tuo made a decision.
At the same time, outside Tashan City in Ningjin, Emperor Chongzhen learned of the war outside Pyongyang for the first time through the Class A eavesdropping seeds on Lu Xiangsheng.
He was not happy about this, but heartbroken.
In order to rebuild the Dongjiang Army, Emperor Chongzhen spent a lot of effort. Is it easy to assemble such an elite team?
The army's losses have not yet been calculated, but the casualties are certainly not small. Emperor Chongzhen cursed "Lu Xiangsheng, this prodigal man" in his heart, and began to think about how to support Lu Xiangsheng.
But it was too far, and there were no planes to transport troops, and there were no telephone calls to directly call Lu Xiangsheng. It was really beyond our reach to influence that place.
The most important thing is that Emperor Chongzhen knew through the eavesdropping seeds on Ying Erdai and others that Huang Taiji had led the army to Zhenjiang Fort. They were like tigers in the jungle, waiting there. As long as the war in Pyongyang was reported to Huang Taiji Over there, Huang Taiji will lead the army into North Korea and sweep across it. With Lu Xiangsheng's small force, if they fight hard, there will be no chance of winning!
While he was thinking about this, he suddenly noticed that the Class C eavesdropping seeds on Dorgon were moving, so he went to see the news about Dorgon first.
In Tashan City, the light of thick candles illuminated the lobby. Although the wind blowing from outside the hall could not blow out these candles, it made the lobby brighter and darker, making it look a bit weird.
Dorgon sat on the main seat, glanced at the Qing generals below, frowned, and suddenly said: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty came well prepared this time. The three major battalions are all elites, with as many as 50,000 to 60,000 people. People. And our army only has more than 10,000 troops. If we allow the Ming army to encircle us, we will be in trouble in this battle!"
"Master, we have cut off contact with Haizhou. There will definitely be detectives coming to investigate the situation. When the time comes, the emperor will know about it and will definitely send reinforcements." A Jianlu leader was not worried at all and responded immediately, " When the time comes for internal and external attacks, maybe the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom will be captured by our Qing Dynasty!"
"Yes, Master, this battle might be an opportunity for our Qing Dynasty!" Another Jianlu leader also agreed, with excitement on his face.
"..."
Listening to the words of these men below, Dorgon's face was extremely serious. He immediately shook his head and interrupted them and said: "We have no reinforcements, so don't think about it!"
"Ah?" Leader Jianlu said in surprise when he heard this, "Master, is this impossible?"
"That's right, the emperor can't possibly abandon us!"
"..."
In response to the sudden commotion in the hall, Dorgon slammed the table and made a "pop" sound, interrupting their commotion, and then shouted in a cold voice: "The emperor has mobilized the main domestic forces, and should have arrived at Zhenjiang Fort by now, ready to Entering the North to fight, we will also destroy the Dongjiang Army of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Liaodong is empty and there will not be enough troops to rescue us!"
When Dorgon set off after receiving Huang Taiji's order, no one else had moved because none of his men knew the full situation. When I heard this, my mouth suddenly opened wide, and I didn't know what to say for a moment?
They are all battle-hardened. It can be seen from the battle during the day that the army personally visited by the Ming Emperor is indeed the elite of the Ming Dynasty. Now the number of the Ming army was several times that of our own. As soon as they arrived, they immediately built fortifications and besieged the city, obviously to eliminate them all.
If there are reinforcements from outside, they are not worried at all, and are even excited. Maybe they can take down this bold Ming emperor. However, if there are no reinforcements outside, it will be really dangerous with the strength of Tashan.
Seeing their expressions, Dorgon knew that they had understood how dangerous the Qing army's current situation would be. Therefore, he no longer remained silent, but immediately said seriously: "This battle is no longer about deciding the outcome with the Ming army, but about how to break out with more people before the Ming army launches an offensive!"
Having said this, he paused, then slowly glanced at the eyes of all the prison leaders below, and then said sternly: "I have decided to take advantage of the Ming army's unstable foothold and the Ming army's siege fortifications not yet built. That’s it, let’s break out tonight!”
Upon hearing this, the Jianlu leaders present were shocked by Dorgon's decisiveness. Although they knew in their hearts that Tashan's city defense alone would not be able to prevent the Ming army's attack. However, Prince Rui decided to break out of the encirclement overnight on the first night when the Ming army arrived. Such a rush to escape seems to be rare in the history of the Qing Dynasty!
Thinking of this, the leader of Jianlu hesitantly reminded Dorgon: "Master, if you don't persist for a day, I'm afraid some scoundrel will impeach the master in front of the emperor after you go back."
Upon hearing this, Dorgon immediately waved his hand and said categorically: "If you want to impeach, just impeach. I don't care. Not fighting a war with no chance of winning is what I have to consider. The sooner I break out, the better I will be. The more soldiers of the Qing Dynasty can be brought back. As long as the green hills are left, there will be no need to worry about running out of firewood!"
Upon hearing that Dorgon was not afraid of personal punishment, but also wanted to consider the whole army, these Jianlu leaders were all in awe, and immediately kneeled down to express their absolute obedience to Dorgon's orders.
Seeing this situation, Dorgon stopped talking and started talking directly: "I expected that the Ming army would definitely prepare for our army to break through, but I never expected that our army would break through with all its strength tonight! Therefore! , Tonight’s battle requires a sound from the east to the west, and someone is needed to cover the main force and attract the attention of the Ming army.”
…………
Dorgon was talking and Emperor Chongzhen was watching. To be honest, he really didn't expect that Dorgon would be so courageous. As soon as he found something was wrong, he would immediately break out with the entire army. He was indeed one of the most famous leaders in the Qing Dynasty.
However, even if you, Dorgon, are Sun Wukong, there is no way you can tell that my Tathagata palm is not the same! Emperor Chongzhen felt happy thinking this, and immediately issued a decree and convened a secret military meeting.
When the emperor passed the order, the generals of the armies naturally did not dare to neglect and immediately came quietly to see him.
In the Chinese military tent, the generals and supervisors of the three battalions were gathered together. They were a little strange, wondering what the emperor meant by summoning them so secretly?
After seeing the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said to them: "I expect that the Jianlu will definitely break out tonight with all their strength. Therefore, to deal with the Jianlu in Tashan, we will fight tonight. All the troops must use their lives. Tashan will be defeated in one battle."
For him, this is an unexpected surprise!
Originally, he was worrying about how to affect the war in North Korea. But no matter what, the first reason is that the distance is too far; the second reason is that he wants to deal with Dorgon's army of rebels, and this army of rebels is hiding in Tashan City no matter what. Even though Tashan's defense is actually not very good, it is simply impossible to capture it without causing too many casualties.
Now, Dorgon wants to break out overnight, which gives Emperor Chongzhen the opportunity. If Dorgon's army can be quickly dealt with, he will have more thoughts to influence North Korea.
After hearing his opening remarks, everyone in the Zhongjun tent almost unanimously showed expressions of disbelief.
The people in Tashan were Jianlu, and they always had the upper hand in battles with the Ming army. Not to mention other things, there are more than 10,000 prisoners in Tashan City. How could they be so unsure that they would break out of the siege with all their strength on the first night of the siege? This is obviously impossible, right? If Emperor Chongzhen said that Jianlu would have a sneak attack tonight, they might still believe it.
With this in mind, Huang Degong stepped out and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general has been in Guan Ning's army for many years and fought many battles with the Jianqi. Your Majesty may not understand that these Jianqi are extremely fierce people, often ten of them." The Jianlu soldiers dared to chase and kill our army for more than thirty nights without stopping. In most battles, the Jianlu soldiers dared to attack more with less and were very powerful. Therefore, the general thought that even though they lost the first battle during the day, they would not be defeated. As for the entire army breaking out tonight!"
"Your Majesty, the general seconded the proposal!" Cao Bianjiao waited for him to finish, and then followed him out of the queue, clasping his hands and saying, "The general was in the Guan Ning army with his uncle back then, and he also knew Jianlu. The general thought that if Jianlu If we don't fight our army hard and make them realize that there is absolutely no possibility of victory, they shouldn't immediately flee as a whole army. If this is the case, other Jianlu troops will look down on this Jianlu army."
Emperor Chongzhen was not angry at their rebuttal. He just listened to them admonishing him with a faint smile.
Huang Degong, Cao Bianjiao and others were right to understand Jianlu. However, I have eavesdropping seeds, do you understand?
Therefore, after they all finished speaking, he said confidently: "I'm afraid you don't know that Dorgon, the chief general of Jianlu, is a rare wise general among Jianlu. He is a man who knows how to be patient. , does not take personal honor and disgrace very seriously. He has already seen the strength of our army during the daytime battle. And he also knows that Liaodong is empty and no reinforcements have arrived. Instead of waiting until Tashan's army is exhausted before trying to break through, he will definitely choose Break out of the encirclement as soon as possible to preserve Jianlu’s vitality!”
Hearing this, the people below were immediately shocked again. They didn't expect that the emperor seemed to have thought more about it than they did, and analyzed it from the character of the general who built the captives? Saying that, it seems to make sense.
But no matter what, Jianlu has been famous for a long time. It's a bit incredible that they really have to break through with all their strength tonight!
No matter what they thought, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at them and continued to speak: "Dorgon is cunning and must be worried that our army is on guard, so he will definitely use the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. At three o'clock tonight, we will send an army A death-defying army will go out of the east gate and create a massive offensive to attract our army's attention. Then its main force will rush out from the west gate and break out."
"..." These people in the central military tent, whether they were generals or supervisors, all felt a little incredible. Could the emperor even count this?
They were thinking that Emperor Chongzhen had stopped smiling and said seriously: "This death-defying army, if my predictions are correct, should send out Han troops from the Jianlu Army. They don't know the real battles of Jianlu." Dorgon thought it was just an ordinary night attack out of the city, and Dorgon paid a heavy reward, with the number of people being around 2,000. When the war became more serious, more than 8,000 Jianlu troops would come out from the west gate. Where is Lu Qing? ?”
When Lu Da heard this, he immediately stepped forward to listen to the order. The task he received was to ambush at the east gate and wait for the Jianlu Han army to leave the city for a night attack. He could hold his position and annihilate as many as he could before dawn.
The rest of the general soldiers were all transferred to Ximen to prepare an ambush, waiting for Jianlu to sneak into the ambush.
After the task was assigned, Emperor Chongzhen shouted sternly: "In a battle tonight, I will deal with these Jianluo. Please wait, don't let me down!"
"General, I obey the order!" Many generals in the Chinese military tent responded in unison. However, they were thinking in their hearts that since the Emperor was so sure, they would just do it according to the Emperor's wishes. I'm just afraid. With the Emperor's solemn vow, he won't be able to see you all until daytime tomorrow.
