This was the first time Duduo heard the news, so when he first heard it, he was stunned for a while, but after he reacted, he couldn't help but be very excited.
The Ming Emperor's sudden attack killed most of his infantry, and even Haizhou was almost lost. If he doesn't regain his position, then Duduo will also be placed under the control of the Ming Emperor Dog, which is something he is very unwilling to do.
Mobilizing the power of the whole country to keep the Ming Emperor in Liaodong was Dorgon's decision, and Duoduo supported it even more.
Therefore, after Duduo came back to his senses, he immediately said excitedly and with a little surprise: "Are you still afraid that the Ming Emperor will escape?"
"If it were known that all the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were coming to Haizhou for a decisive battle, if I were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I would definitely have to retreat first." After hearing this, Yue Tuo expressed his opinion calmly.
"The key is that you don't know?" As soon as Duduo said this, he suddenly froze. He also knew about the detailed affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he did not continue the assumption that he did not know.
After pondering for a moment, Duduo's face became much more serious and said: "At least for now, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty probably doesn't know about this matter. Otherwise, after you come to help, he will not send cavalry to counterattack. I was here just now From the top of the city, we can clearly see that the Ming army has no intention of retreating at all!"
"It's hard to say!" After hearing this, Yue Tuo shook his head and said, "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very cunning. He might have fought a battle before retreating, and then withdrew when our army was unprepared."
Hauge listened for a long time, then interrupted and asked: "What should we do?"
Duduo was silent for a while before saying: "It would be great if we could cut off its retreat, but now our military strength is about the same as that of the Ming Army, and the Ming Army's cavalry also has more than 10,000 riders, and the car camp can be effective It’s a bit difficult to restrain the Qing cavalry."
"That's it, how about sending the cavalry to rush over and occupy Yaozhou Post?" At this time, Yue Tuo thought of Duduo's previous suggestion and asked for advice.
Now, the total number of Qing cavalry troops is probably more than 30,000. If we allocate more than 10,000 to rush over, there should be no problem. If it's only three thousand, that's a high probability of a mutton tiger's mouth.
But after hearing this, Duduo shook his head and said: "The cavalry is not good at defending. If we cut off the Ming army's retreat right now, it will inevitably lead to a crazy counterattack by the Ming army, and Yaozhouyi's cavalry will be in danger."
Having said this, he paused and immediately asked: "If possible, it would be best to send troops to cut off the retreat when the regent's main force is about to arrive. Before that, he had been sticking to the Ming army. Don’t let them have the chance to make up their mind and escape!”
He has a deep understanding of this.
When the cavalry withdrew from Yaozhouyi, there would be no problem at all if the cavalry wanted to withdraw to Haizhou. However, it would be difficult for the infantry to withdraw. If he hadn't really had no other choice, he wouldn't have left the infantry behind and led the cavalry to escape back to Haizhou.
The same should be true for the Ming army.
The Ming Dynasty's cavalry was probably more than 10,000, definitely less than 20,000. The other more than 30,000 were infantry, car camps, artillery, etc., all included in this. If the Ming Dynasty was at war with the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty emperor wanted to escape, he would inevitably encounter the same problem that Duduo encountered before: Can the infantry be saved?
If the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was to be embarrassed, the Qing Dynasty would definitely put enough pressure on the Ming army. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was afraid that once he retreated, the Qing Dynasty's attack would probably eat up all the Ming Dynasty infantry.
No matter how rich the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was, he would definitely be very distressed if he lost more than 30,000 infantry troops. Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity, the infantry will never be abandoned.
For this reason, Duduo explained it to the other two people.
After hearing this, Yue Tuo thought it made sense, so he nodded and said, "It makes sense. Although we attack and the Ming army is good at defense, our army will suffer greater casualties. But as long as we wait until the regent arrives with the main force, , then it’s all worth the loss!”
Seeing that he agreed with his views, Duduo was happy, but at this moment, Hauge interrupted and said: "What if the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom didn't know that the Regent Lord was coming?"
"..." After hearing this, Duduo and Yue Tuo looked at each other, both speechless.
Is this possible? Of course there is. Duduo himself had doubted it just now. The Emperor of Ming Kingdom probably didn't know about it yet.
If the Emperor of Ming really didn't know that the Lord Regent was coming, based on the current comparison of the strength of the two sides, the Emperor of Ming would definitely not take the initiative and withdraw immediately. If this is really the case, there is no need to take the initiative to attack the Ming army at all costs.
You know, the Qing army has already suffered too many losses. Any more losses will be very distressing.
From this, the three of them were silent for a while. Suddenly, Yue Tuo and Duoduo said in unison: "How about we take a look at the situation?"
If you see that the Ming emperor wants to leave, you can attack with all your strength at that time and prevent the Ming army from leaving. Unless the Ming Emperor said he wanted to leave, he just ran away with his cavalry. Otherwise, it would be a simple matter for the army to move out!
With this in mind, the three of them reached an agreement and were ready to take a look at the situation. Of course, their decision also required them to immediately send someone back to report to Dorgon on the road.
However, none of them expected that Duduo had Class-A eavesdropping seeds on his body, and Emperor Chongzhen knew immediately what they were discussing. Even Emperor Chongzhen knew more accurately than the three of them where Dorgon was leading his army, how many days away from Haizhou, etc.
Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen read the news of the eavesdropping seed feedback, he smiled lightly and said: "It is said that three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. I want to say that no matter how many cobblers there are, they can't defeat me!"
"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Wu Zhong, who was standing next to him, heard the voice but didn't hear it clearly, so he had to ask.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled again and said: "It's nothing. Tomorrow, I will point out Yue Tuo and Haoge to me. In addition, I sent a message to the generals to have a good rest. They will inevitably go to Jianlu in the past few days." trouble!"
"General, the order will be obeyed!" Wu Zhong agreed upon hearing this, and immediately went to deliver the order without any further thought.
On the second day, Duduo, Yue Tuo and others were still a little worried. Unexpectedly, the Ming army took the initiative to attack and showed no intention of retreating. This made the three of them overjoyed.
"Haha, it seems that the Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is doomed this time!" Hauge laughed immediately.
Yue Tuo frowned and said: "It seems that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom still hasn't received the news, so the question arises. The Ming Kingdom's detailed work should not be under the control of the three of us, right?"
Upon hearing this, the other two people were stunned. In fact, even Yue Tuo himself was stunned.
Because according to the logic he said, Ming Guo Xizuo can only be the subordinate of Daishan and Azige. Azig didn't care about him. Daishan was his father and his father's subordinate, so he might have some involvement with him.
While he was thinking about it, Hauge came to his senses first. He laughed as if he had found a treasure and said, "Yes, it must be like this. Now, after this battle, we will strictly investigate the two of them." Not only Azig wants to investigate, but also Mr. Daishan..."
When he said this, he glanced at Yue Tuo, and then continued nonchalantly: "...We must also investigate! This matter is related to the fate of our country, the Qing Dynasty, and we must investigate it thoroughly!"
At this time, Azig had already turned to Dodo and Dorgon. Therefore, Dodo did not want to check Azig. However, if Ming Guoxi Zuo is really under Azige, it must be found out. However, it is best for him or Dorgon to investigate, and it is best not to let others, especially Hauge, interfere.
With this in mind, Duduo immediately changed the subject and said: "The most critical thing right now is that we must maintain pressure on the Ming Emperor, but we cannot let the Ming Emperor feel that the pressure is too great and retreat. Therefore, I suggest that the three of us If the troops take turns to fight, it will be a waste with the Ming army, and maintaining a stalemate is the best!"
After hearing this, Yue Tuo immediately echoed: "Yes, the most important thing now is not to let the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty run away! We should be mentally prepared first. The more we lose, the more we will lose. We must not let the Ming Emperor escape." The emperor has run away!"
Seeing that both of them were talking like this, and catching him discussing the specific matters of holding back the Ming army, Haoge had no choice but to put aside the matter of finding the traitor.
So, in the next few days, the Ming army and Jianlu fought vigorously.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Bah, bah, bah..."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
"Wow wow wow..."
The roar of artillery, the sound of musket shooting, the sound of bows and arrows, and the shouts of killing became the main theme outside Haizhou City.
On the Jianlu side, infantry and cavalry were dispatched to attack the Ming army camp; while the Ming army was defending, they would also dispatch hussar battalions to take the opportunity to counterattack. The battle was very fierce.
Just as several slave chiefs were worried, the strength of both sides was about the same, but the Ming army was much better equipped, better at defending, and had firearms to assist them. Therefore, the losses suffered by the captives were a bit heavy.
However, whether it was Yue Tuo, Duo Duo or Hao Ge, they all gritted their teeth and held on, trying to confuse the Ming army and dragging the Ming army until the main force of Lord Dorgon arrived.
Of course, the three of them also felt sorry for the loss of their men, so they sent a messenger one day, rushing back to urge Dorgon to rush to Haizhou City.
However, Dorgon's matter cannot be completed at once if the national troops are to be mobilized. However, he also knew that he could not delay for too long, so he also issued various strict orders to urge him, and even asked those who gathered first to leave first, and those who arrived later to catch up.
Just like that, by the time Azig arrived in Shengjing, Dorgon had already arrived in Liaoyang first.
He did not rest in Liaoyang, but traveled day and night to urge his men on their way. On this day, after finally arriving at Anshan Posthouse, he allowed the army to rest. At the same time, he anxiously waited for the messenger from Haizhou.
If the Ming Emperor ran away at this time, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. Seeing that success is imminent, don’t let this happen! Dorgon thought in his heart, and even prayed to Huang Taiji and Nurhaci, hoping to protect the Ming Emperor from being still alive so that he would not waste all his efforts.
It was not his style to just wait, so a messenger was sent out at the same time to tell Haizhou that he would be there in a day or two.
Just after sending the messenger, the messenger from Haizhou also arrived at Anshan Inn.
Dorgon heard that he was completely without the majesty of his uncle as the regent. He stood up subconsciously and hurried out of the hall. When he saw the messenger hurriedly led by his personal guards, he couldn't help but shouted: "Emperor of the Ming Dynasty" Are you still in Haizhou?"
"Back to Your Highness, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still in Haizhou. In today's battle, our army lost another thousand men and horses!" When the messenger saw it, he immediately kneeled down and quickly replied.
When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care about the loss of a thousand men and horses. He immediately clapped his hands excitedly and laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, okay!"
"..." The messenger knelt there with his head lowered, feeling a little uncomfortable. In the past few days, the Qing Dynasty has been losing troops and generals in direct confrontation with the Ming army. Although it only lost a thousand troops today, it was already a lot in total. Doesn't the regent feel distressed at all?
Dorgon didn't care what his mere messenger thought. After being happy, he immediately returned to the lobby and began to think about how to suddenly appear in Haizhou after the army rested.
At this time, he was no longer satisfied with just leaving the Ming Emperor in Haizhou. It would be better to leave the invading enemy and their emperor in Haizhou. In this way, the strength of the Ming Kingdom would be greatly reduced. Big injury, even if there is another wise and powerful emperor, the life of the Qing Dynasty will not be as sad as it is now!
However, he didn't know that he, the Ming Dynasty's gold medal undercover, had already reported the situation to Emperor Chongzhen as soon as possible.
After reading the feedback from the eavesdropping office, Emperor Chongzhen immediately ordered a military meeting.
After the generals had finished their greetings, Emperor Chongzhen said with a hint of a smile: "Your Majesty, please go back immediately and prepare quietly. The withdrawal will begin at midnight tonight. The target is Yaozhou Station. There must be no mistake!"
In the past few days, I was having fun fighting Jianlu. Suddenly, the emperor ordered the troops to withdraw in the middle of the night. This made all the general soldiers and supervisors stunned: Is this too sudden?
"Your Majesty, why are you withdrawing your troops in such a hurry?" After He Renlong came to his senses, he immediately stepped out of the queue and asked for advice.
Seeing that they all looked puzzled, Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, if you can't feel it, then Jianlu would be even more surprised.
Thinking this way, he was in a good mood and said to He Renlong: "The slave chief Dorgon has led nearly 60,000 horses to Anshan Posthouse, and 20,000 Jianlu are also coming."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Chinese army's tent was shocked. Jianlu had come with so many troops? Is this a big risk?
Basically, this is more than double the strength of the Ming army, and Jianlu is still fighting locally, and it has considerable advantages in terms of terrain and logistics.
