The combat mission was already mentioned yesterday, so Dorgon stopped talking nonsense and just announced very seriously: "The first one to attack Yaozhou Station will be given the title of prince. Half of the captured materials will be given to his tribe! Anyone who dares to be lazy and disobey orders will be killed!"
It is proper to hand over rewards and punishments before the war, but compared to the past, this reward is very heavy.
When Azig led his army to conquer Pi Island, it was considered a major victory. Azig was not granted the title of prince. Obai, who was the first to attack the island and made great achievements, was only given the title of "Batulu". .
However, all the clan chiefs present were indifferent. Those who would be rewarded heavily or not would have to live first to take it.
After Dorgon finished speaking, he gave the order to disperse, and two quarters of an hour later he heard the drum and attacked.
Under the military order, no one dared to slack off. They dispersed immediately and went back to prepare.
As soon as these clan leaders left, Dorgon turned to look at Duoduo and said seriously: "I have assigned all the Baya soldiers to your command, but if the opportunity arises, you must seize it."
"Okay!" Duduo nodded immediately after hearing this.
Although they didn't think there would be such an opportunity on the first day, what if, if they missed the opportunity, they would definitely regret it until their intestines turned green.
Dorgon then turned to look at the remaining few, and told them: "You each lead the troops to suppress the formation, and allocate manpower to supervise the battle. Anyone who retreats without receiving military orders will be killed without mercy!"
This is what it should be. Yue Tuo, Haoge and Azig all nodded immediately.
There was only two-quarters of an hour left for the war to begin, so they dispersed immediately without delay. However, Duduo came back soon after leaving, standing side by side with Dorgon, paying attention to the war.
Baya Labing was an elite member of the Qing Dynasty. He was divided into four groups. After handing over the tasks, he no longer had to worry about them. Otherwise, he would not be able to take care of the four directions of Yaozhouyi alone.
In front of Dorgon, there is a defense line composed of sidecars used by the Ming army. Compared with the city wall of Yaozhou Station, the defense is relatively weak. Moreover, the Horqin tribe is responsible for attacking in this direction. Relatively speaking, among all the tribes, the Horqin tribe is the strongest. Therefore, if there is really a chance, it should be here. It is reasonable for Duduo to personally take charge of this position.
Dorgon and Duduo watched the army busy, with Wu Keshan commanding in front of them, waiting for the drums to sound and launch an attack at the same time.
"Brother, are there too many people in this attack? We can't deploy in front of the formation. Once the Ming army's artillery and muskets fire, the casualties will be very heavy!" Duduo said with a frown after watching for a while.
After hearing this, Dorgon said calmly: "Only in this way can the Ming army's ammunition and ordnance be consumed as much as possible. If there are more casualties, food can be saved earlier!"
At this point, he pointed at Wu Keshan's back and continued to say to Duduo: "He also gave me a suggestion to use the method you used to dig trenches to attack. To be honest, if there is no problem in the rear, our food supply If we have enough, if we really want to attack Yaozhou Station, this will be a good opportunity."
Duduo listened and nodded, but did not speak.
"By the way, how did you come up with this idea?" Dorgon continued to ask when he saw that he was silent.
When Duduo heard this, he withdrew his gaze, turned to look at him and replied, "That was what my thief Ning Wan said."
Upon hearing this, Dorgon asked casually: "Where are the others?"
I have to admit that the minds of Han people are sometimes smarter than others.
"I hung him up and beat him up last night. I wonder if he's dead?" Duduo replied with hatred after hearing this.
"..." When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless. He was stunned for a while before asking, "Why? Did I offend you?"
Hearing this, Duduo immediately became angry, his voice became much louder, and he replied loudly: "It's not something to offend me. Look, each of these Han dogs has a bone in the back of their head. Far away, Liu Aita betrayed our Qing Dynasty, and Geng Zhongming, who tricked Huang Taiji to death, and Kong Youde..."
"That's enough!" When Dorgon heard this, he interrupted him with a loud shout. He turned around and saw that there were two of their personal guards nearby, which was nothing. Farther away, Wu Keshan was commanding, and If you didn't hear it, you probably didn't hear it.
So, he relaxed a little and lowered his voice and said, "Watch your voice!"
Duduo saw what he was doing and knew what he was worried about, so he came back to his senses and lowered his voice, but still said angrily: "There are no good dogs in Han Dynasty. Last night I saw Ning Wan, my dog, came in front of me. He passed by without even saying hello. Who else would you beat if you said you wouldn't beat such a slave?"
Dorgon knew his younger brother, so he asked casually: "Has he seen you?"
"No, he walked past the two tents in front of me and entered his own tent. I saw him." Duduo said matter-of-factly, not feeling anything wrong at all.
After Dorgon heard this, he knew that Duduo was actually taking advantage of Ning Wan to vent his anger on me. So, he turned around and called one of his guards, telling him to go and see if Ning Wan I was dead. If not, I would arrange it properly and treat the injuries that should be treated.
After giving these instructions, he turned to look at Duoduo, and warned again in a somewhat speechless tone: "There are good and bad Han people, and we cannot generalize them. It is not good for you to hit people indiscriminately like this!"
"Then how do you tell which Han people are good and which Han people are bad?" Duduo couldn't help but ask back after hearing this.
Dorgon listened and wanted to say it smoothly. However, after opening his mouth, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Let’s not talk about what happened between Liu Aita and Geng Zhongming in the past, because he was not in charge. He has the greatest responsibility for Kong Youde. If he could really tell the difference, this incident wouldn't have happened. Judging from the current situation, Kong Youde should have betrayed the Ming Dynasty very early, and he did not notice it.
Dorgon was stunned when he heard Duduo say to him again: "Besides, why are you trying to win the hearts of other tribes? This is not..."
At this point, he pointed forward, and then continued: "Let them die. After this battle, as long as Yaozhou Station is not defeated, we will be the only Manchus in the future."
Hearing this, Dorgon was speechless again, because the fact was exactly what Duduo said.
In the future, only the Manchu people will be left in the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely fail to recover. However, now there is only one way to go. Dorgon couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
At this moment, a guard came forward and said: "Your Highness, the time has come!"
After hearing this, Dorgon cheered up and immediately ordered: "Beat the drum!"
Now, the best possibility is that all the tribes can attack Yaozhou Station and eliminate the Ming army with all their efforts. This would be the best. If that doesn't work, it would be an acceptable outcome to have all the tribes die in Yaozhou Station, causing both them and the Ming army to suffer losses, and the Manchus to go pick peaches again.
If you can't do both, then you can only use the Thirty-Six Strategy as the best strategy and save your strength for the future.
"Dong dong dong..."
The thundering sound of war drums echoed in the sky above Yaozhou Station.
Under the supervision of groups of Manchu troops, the soldiers of all ethnic groups who drew the lottery first all started to attack with sad faces.
Some of them were lucky enough to be able to hide behind the carriages, but more tribal troops did not even have carriages. In fact, they had planned to surround the Ming army, so they didn't bring many carriages.
Looking at the Ming army figures inside Yaozhouyi's defense line in the distance, all the attacking soldiers shouted to embolden themselves.
Onward, onward, onwards.
After reaching the artillery range, they began to be worried, fearing that if the Ming army came over and hit them with artillery fire, they would definitely be killed. But if the artillery really comes to your door, you won't even have time to hide. All you can do is pray to the Heaven of Immortality, hoping that the iron bullets will not hit you.
Suddenly, there was a "boom", and a cannon shot finally sounded from the Ming army's defense line.
Good guy, when they heard the sound of the cannon, all the soldiers of all ethnic groups who were attacking densely fell down in unison. Those neat movements seemed to have been practiced beforehand.
However, the Ming army only fired one cannon, and there were only five unlucky ones in total. The others breathed a sigh of relief, and did not hear the Ming army continue to bombard. They were urged by the Jianlu behind them, so they had to continue to get up. Go forward again.
On the top of Yaozhou City, Li Dingguo saw this situation and explained to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, these Tatars have no fighting spirit. In this case, the general will be sure that persuading them to surrender will work!"
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, but said nothing. It had been decided before that Li Dingguo would take command, so let him take command without interference.
According to Li Dingguo's previous report, if the Tatars attack like crazy, they must first be punished severely and let them know that Yaozhou Post is an iron plate and cannot be broken by them, and then persuade them to surrender. Effect.
But now it seems that it is impossible to attack like crazy. If this is the case, then there is no need to spend more ammunition and ordnance.
Completely opposite to them, Dorgon frowned when he saw that the soldiers of all ethnic groups were so timid. If you are timid before fighting, how can you win this battle?
"Damn it, there are still people fighting like this?" Duduo was also annoyed and immediately yelled, "No, we absolutely can't let them fight like this!"
At this point, without asking Dorgon for instructions, he immediately ordered his personal guards to ask the drum beaters to speed up the drum beating, and sent orders to the supervising team to urge the cowards to speed up the attack.
"Dong dong dong dong..."
The sound of the war drums became more urgent. Unsurprisingly, it was urging.
Jianlu's supervising team also started to move forward and did not stop until they reached the boundary of the artillery range. They shouted and cursed and told them to attack.
Wu Keshan, who was in front of Dorgon, had a gloomy look on his face as he watched the thousand soldiers he sent out being driven to the Ming army's front. He knew that these thousand tribesmen would definitely not see the sun tomorrow. However, knowing that they were bound to die, what else could he do, other than telling them to act according to the situation, not to go all out, and to let the attacks of other tribes attract the attention of the Ming army?
No matter how much the soldiers of all ethnic groups ink, they are always moving forward, and they are naturally getting closer and closer to the Ming army's defense line.
However, things are a little strange. The Ming army actually did not fire any more artillery. Not only did the long-range artillery such as the Hongyi cannon not fire, but even the Franco machine gun was not seen firing. Further forward, that is the range of bows and arrows. We can also use bows and arrows to fight back. Why don't the Ming army take action?
To be honest, things were unexpected, and the attacking soldiers were even more unsure.
This situation, to be honest, surprised Dorgon and others who were watching the battle from a distance. They also didn't understand why the Ming army didn't fight back? Don't the Ming army know that no matter how they defend themselves once they get closer, they will inevitably suffer casualties once they are attacked by bows and arrows. And the closer you are, if you rush forward when the time comes, you might be able to rush in.
Surprised, Duduo couldn't help but ask Dorgon: "Could it be that the Ming army's ammunition is actually much less than we expected, or even not much at all?"
"Unlikely!" After hearing this, Dorgon immediately shook his head and said, "Let's see how the Ming army responds to this attack."
After finishing speaking, he ordered to his guards: "Send the order, attack!"
The order was passed. Although the war drums were a lot faster, they still had rhythm. But with Dorgon's military order, the war drums beat rapidly. Send a signal to the attacking soldiers and let them charge immediately.
As soon as the attacking soldiers of all ethnic groups heard the sound of the drums and looked at the Ming army's defense line just a stone's throw away, they gritted their teeth and saw that there were dead people on the left and right. They all got up to this point and rushed forward.
At this moment, they suddenly saw many soldiers jumping out of the Ming army's front line, and they walked towards them without much protection.
If it were a counterattack, it would definitely not be like this. Another accident made these soldiers stunned for a moment. Then, they all discovered that the soldiers of the Ming Army who came out across the way seemed very familiar. Then, they were surprised to find that these people across the way were not their own tribesmen, who were said to have died in the battle?
Just as they were surprised, those people started shouting.
In the distance, Dorgon and others were surprised again, what is going on?
They quickly took a closer look, but because they were too far away, they could not see clearly. They only knew that the soldiers sent to attack and the soldiers who were countercharging with the Ming army were talking in front of the two army formations. Yes, that's right, they were talking, they didn't fight with each other, they just stood there talking.
"..." This situation was so weird that Dorgon and others were a little dumbfounded.
After so many years of fighting, I have never seen anything like this!
Dorgon's intuition told him that the situation was definitely not good and this situation could not continue. Therefore, he immediately called a personal guard. When he was about to issue a military order, he saw some of the attacking soldiers in front of the two armies waving their hands and talking to his own people, seemingly excited. . Then, they abandoned their weapons and surrendered to the Ming army!
