What's going on with the Ming army? They won't attack Liaoyang anymore? How can this be?
Ignoring the nearly 30,000 Qing troops in Liaoyang, they directly raided Shengjing with cavalry. No matter what, it was Shengjing, how could the raid be successful?
And if there is a stalemate, it is impossible for the cavalry to carry much dry food with them, and how many days can they last? If they were plundering on the spot, the soldiers and civilians of the Qing Dynasty would have dug up the ground three feet into the ground for food that could be eaten outside the city. If they could eat it, they would have scraped it dry. How could the Ming army's food and grass be replenished?
The Ming army is definitely not stupid, especially when the dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty comes with his imperial army! When Duduo thought of this, he immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of Anshan Inn. At the same time, he opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to see what he wanted to see through the dust in the sky and the limitations of space.
Although he couldn't see anything, Duduo was sure that the Ming Emperor would not just send cavalry to attack the Qing Dynasty!
There must be more than 20,000 Ming cavalry passing through Liaoyang. In this case, based on previous experience, the infantry must be at least 50,000, right? With so many troops, the Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was going to destroy the Qing Dynasty!
After understanding this, Duduo knew in his heart that Liaoyang would definitely not be able to be defended, even if there was sufficient food and grass.
So, he immediately shouted loudly: "Immediately send the king's military order, and the whole army will have a good meal and prepare to break out!"
If in the past, I could have a full meal, I don't know how happy I would be. But at this time, when the Jianlu soldiers heard this military order, all of them had sad faces. Even though they were roaring wildly just now and seemed to be very ferocious, their true condition has been revealed now, and they are all very sad!
After a good meal, it was time to break out of the siege, which meant that Liaoyang City could not be defended at all. However, the most critical issue is that there should be nearly ten thousand Ming cavalry outside the city. Even if they can break out of the city, where can they escape under the pursuit of the Ming cavalry?
Perhaps some of the cavalry can escape, but there are only more than 3,000 cavalry in Liaoyang City. What will happen to the rest?
In this situation, which Jianlu can be optimistic!
Originally, Jianlu had more than three thousand cavalry troops. However, after a winter, there was no food for people, let alone horses! Jianlu tried his best to save these more than 3,000 war horses.
Also, these more than 3,000 war horses cannot be compared with the Ming army's war horses outside the city. Everyone is fat and strong, but Jianlu's, let alone skinny, at least cannot be described as fat and strong. Just like this, if the cavalry from both sides started chasing each other, how many of the Jianlu cavalry would be able to escape and ascend to heaven?
Duduo actually knew this situation very well. Therefore, he issued another military order: "Before the infantry of the Ming Dynasty arrived, we must break out in the evening and take advantage of the cover of night to escape as much as we can. If you can escape, wait for me After the allies of the Qing Dynasty arrive, we will fight Ming Dog again!"
The official road from Anshan Yibao to Liaoyang had long been severely damaged by the rebels. When the infantry of the Ming Dynasty is on the road, even if the impact of two legs is small, what about the food, grass and baggage of the Ming army? What about artillery? These will definitely delay. Originally, even if the infantry was fast, it would take a day to arrive. If this is the case now, the Ming infantry will not appear outside Liaoyang City until at least noon tomorrow.
In this regard, Duduo felt that he was overestimating Gao Li. Therefore, after the whole army had a good meal to build up their strength, and then broke out in the evening, there were only two or three thousand cavalry in each of the three gates, and it was impossible to stop so many soldiers from escaping. As long as they jump into the mountains and forests, without the infantry to pursue them, the cavalry can only look at the forest and sigh.
After making all these plans, Duduo cleaned the granary and not only fed more than 30,000 people, but also distributed some grain to each of them. In addition, fire starters were arranged in the city. After the breakout, Liaoyang City must not be left to the Ming Dynasty!
Under Duduo's plan, Liaoyang City was in rare peace.
The Ming cavalry outside the city had no intention of attacking the city, they were just on guard against the Jianlu coming out of the city; while the Jianlu in the city were also very quiet. At this time, it should actually be considered the calm before the storm!
The main cavalry force of the Ming Dynasty quickly passed through Liaoyang, and the rumble of horse hooves was no longer heard.
The Jianlu in the city were all taking the time to digest after a hearty meal. There will be another feast before turning back to wait for the breakout. No matter what, your physical strength must be restored to its optimal level before you have the strength to break through and escape!
This time, Duduo, as the prince of the Qing Dynasty, finally had a full meal. Checking the time from time to time, he waited until about one o'clock in the morning, and then ordered that the entire army have a final meal in Liaoyang.
After everything was done, Duduo rode on horseback and patrolled the streets filled with clansmen holding various weapons.
Everyone feels the tragic feeling of being at the end of the road, no, it’s the tragic feeling of survival in a desperate situation! Duduo shook his head, corrected his thoughts, and shouted loudly: "In our Qing Dynasty, Taizu Thirteen put on armor and raised an army. He was invincible across Liaodong. He defeated the Ming Dog and abandoned his armor and was defeated. Even our Qing army was defeated. , have entered the customs four times, and the dogs were beaten to the point where they could only follow me from a distance and did not dare to fight with me, the Qing Dynasty..."
Hearing him mention the past glory of the Qing Dynasty, each of the built captives fell into memories, with pride and regret written on their faces.
Duduo continued to roar loudly: "...The conditions of our Qing Dynasty are much better now than when Taizu raised his army. We could all make great achievements at that time, let alone now? Don't be discouraged. As long as you can escape, I will be great again." The Qing Dynasty will definitely make a comeback and beat the shit out of Ming Gou again! At that time, we will rush into the prison again, eat his mother's things, rob his mother's things, and kill all Ming Gou!"
Not to mention, under his instigation, Jianlu, who was originally tragic and even desperate, became excited again. They all felt that the prince was right. No matter how difficult the current predicament was, could it still be difficult to survive when Taizu raised an army? Since the Jianzhou Jurchens were able to dominate Liaodong at that time, will they be able to dominate Liaodong again in the future?
Thinking like this, these Jianlu responded to Duduo one by one, as if they could regain their former glory immediately.
They never thought that in the past, it was not how good they were at fighting, but the fact that their opponents were so bad! But now, their opponents are far from what they were before. Can they still regain their glory?
Duduo made a tour and even checked the preparations for burning the city with firewood. Then he looked at the sky in the west and estimated in his mind that it would be dark in about an hour. And this hour should be enough time for the army to break out. If they can't break out within an hour, there's no chance, and they deserve to die in Liaoyang.
Thinking like this, suddenly, something moved in his heart.
Duduo remembered that Dorgon once said to him that there is a saying in the art of war: risk your life to survive! In other words, it is called the battle of breaking the cauldron, which can best stimulate the morale of the army and unleash unprecedented combat power.
Remembering this, Duduo rolled his eyes and had a new idea.
Soon, his breakout order was passed down.
Suddenly, the four city gates of Liaoyang City opened at the same time, the suspension bridge was lowered, and Jianlu rushed out of the city gate with a roar and rushed out of the city.
At present, the Ming cavalry is only deployed at the three city gates in the east, west, and north. Therefore, there are also Jianlu breakouts here, with the intention of holding back the Ming cavalry so that the main force can break through the undefended south gate and win precious time to escape into the mountains and forests.
"Kill!"
"Kill the bright dog!"
"..."
They shouted to kill, especially Jianlu, who shouted very loudly. If you don’t know, you might think that in previous eras, the Ming army was the main defender and the Jianlu army was the main attacker.
Needless to say, the reason why this situation occurred has something to do with Duduo's speech. Of course, the smell of a dog jumping over the wall is also very strong.
Not to mention, Jianlu's move really delayed the Ming cavalry at three city gates. If the Ming cavalry insisted on dividing their troops to block the south gate, they might be eaten by the Jianlu.
On the top of the city, watching a long dragon rushing out of the city, Duduo's personal guards quickly reminded: "Master, you have to leave quickly!"
After hearing this, Duduo finally showed a smile, nodded immediately and said: "Set the city on fire!"
"..." After hearing this, his personal guard was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reminded: "Master, there are still many Qing warriors who have not left the city!"
"What do you know!" Duduo heard this and reprimanded him. Then, perhaps because he was in a better mood, he explained, "This is called burning the cauldron and sinking the boat. As long as there is a fire in the city, all the Qing warriors can only charge forward bravely. One road. In addition, when the Ming cavalry saw a fire in the city, they would definitely want to put out the fire. In this way, we, the Qing warriors, would gain a precious opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven!"
After hearing this explanation, Duduo's personal guard couldn't help but suddenly realized, and quickly replied sincerely: "Master is wise!"
Then, he hurriedly went to convey Duduo's last military order.
Preparations were made to burn the city, so it only took a moment for the fire in Liaoyang City to start burning in the deserted neighborhoods and then spread to other parts of the city.
"Master, it's burning!" Dodo's personal guards hurried back and reported to him, "Even if Ming Gou wants to put out the fire, it's impossible. All the wells in the city are blocked, and they will definitely not be used for a while!"
After hearing this, Duduo nodded and said, "Okay, good job!"
Then, of course, he would no longer stay in the city, and was ready to go down to the city and escape.
But at this moment, one of his personal guards suddenly screamed: "Master... Master, then... what else is that?"
When Duduo heard the sound, for some reason, his heart suddenly sank, and he immediately turned his head and looked outside the city. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. After taking a look, Duduo suddenly became stupid again.
