"No!" Upon hearing this, Dorgon and Yue Tuo objected in unison.
After hearing this, Ao Bai immediately asked: "Why not? Now our army's morale is low and people are panicked. If we don't take the opportunity to win the battle, how can Shengjing defend it?"
Obai has always been known for his bravery, but except for being the first to attack Shangpi Island and defeating the Ming army, he has never fought a decent war since. Although he had the name of Batulu given to him by Huang Taiji Yu, he has been responsible for guarding the palace.
Although last time, Huang Taiji secretly sent him out, hoping to ambush and kill the Dongjiang Army. But unfortunately the Dongjiang Army was not fooled, and Obai returned empty-handed.
This time, Bumbutai was very panicked and asked Yu Aobai, the commander of the army, for advice. In order to appease the Queen Mother, he ran out to see the situation and proposed the idea of taking the initiative to kill and catch the Ming army by surprise.
Hearing his rhetorical question, Dorgon immediately asked seriously: "How many soldiers of our army can be seen clearly in the dark?"
Hearing this, Obai was speechless. In the past two years, due to the lack of food and grass in the Qing Dynasty, more and more people have been unable to see clearly at night. As Dorgon asked, there are very few people who can see clearly at night. Unless the city is no longer guarded, otherwise, he will never be able to select a few people to go out of the city to fight the Ming army.
Seeing what Obai was doing, Dorgon continued to say to Obei seriously: "Also, when the Ming army is coming, haven't you thought about preparing for our army's night attack? Maybe the Ming cavalry army can't attack the fortress, so I just thought Let our army take the initiative to leave the city! As soon as you leave the city, you will fall into the Ming army's conspiracy!"
Regarding this point, Dorgon is deeply concerned about this.
Thinking back then, during the Battle of Tashan, he just wanted to lead the army to break out of the encirclement immediately. As a result, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had already opened his pockets and waited for him, beating him and annihilating his entire army!
Yue Tuo stood by and nodded in agreement with Dorgon: "Our army only has so many troops now, how can we afford the losses?"
Hearing their words, Obai looked at the Ming army outside the city again, with the ideas that Dorgon and Yue Tuo had instilled in him. He found that the Ming army seemed to be really not afraid of night attacks, even the Ming army. Many of the flaws exposed seemed to be intentional.
Thinking of this, Obai fell silent.
On later TV shows, he was portrayed as a reckless and powerful minister, which was actually not right. In other words, it was because he had great power and felt he could do whatever he wanted. The real Obai is not only brave and good at fighting, but also not simple-minded. Otherwise, how could he become one of the four life-saving ministers and kill the other three?
"Go back and report to the Queen Mother, saying that with Liaoyang in front, the Ming Dynasty's infantry camp will be delayed for ten and a half months." Seeing this, Dorgon emphasized again, "I have sent Ying'erdai before. Urging the Japanese, it is estimated that when the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty comes to Shengjing, he will hear the news of the Japanese army attacking North Korea. By then, the siege of Shengjing will definitely be solved!"
No matter what, it's best to comfort the woman first and don't let her cause trouble again.
But what he said was not unreasonable. At least this idea was possible after he and Yue Tuo discussed it.
When Ao Bai saw this, he respectfully accepted the order and retired back to the palace.
The so-called isolated city cannot be defended. On the Qing Dynasty's side, except for the troops in Liaoyang, there were no troops elsewhere, and they could not come to aid Shengjing at all. Although Hauge still has a certain amount of troops, Hauge wants to protect the most important food and grass, so it is impossible for him to come to Shengjing's aid.
Therefore, the Japanese army became the only hope for Jianlu. Moreover, in Jianlu's imagination, if Japan attacked, the size of its troops would definitely not be small. Even if it's not 100,000, there should be at least 50,000 or 60,000, right?
The population of Japan was much higher than that of the Qing Dynasty. No matter how wise and powerful the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was, if he still dared to ignore the huge Japanese army and only wanted to destroy the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't he be afraid that both sides would suffer and the Japanese would take advantage of him?
At this time, Jianlu thought that they were guarding their capital and had no way out. The Ming army attacked Shengjing, and the Qing Dynasty had to fight to the death. Even if the Ming army could capture Shengjing, it would definitely suffer heavy losses!
I believe that the emperor of Ming Dynasty would not be able to bear this price because of his wisdom and prowess!
Dorgon and Yue Tuo thought so, so they passed on this idea and encouraged the Qing warriors to stick to the city and wait for the Ming army to retreat.
In the night arrangement, all the soldiers who could see clearly under the cover of night were deployed to prevent the defending Ming army from stealing the city.
Not to mention, in the Ming army, several generals were competing for credit with each other. Some people tried to steal the city, but paid the price of killing and injuring more than 30 soldiers.
Dorgon was overjoyed when he heard the news, and quickly sent an order to explain that his army had stolen the city at night, but was repulsed by the Qing warriors, with numerous casualties. Anyway, in what he said, he described this war as a rare victory for the Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty in recent years.
Most Jianlu didn't know the details of the night battle. Although they thought the battle report was a bit exaggerated, their estimate of the Ming army's true losses was also greatly exaggerated. As a result, not to mention, Jianlu's morale immediately increased a lot.
Even Bumbutai felt relieved after hearing the news, holding the little emperor in his arms. She even tried to compensate Dorgon and apologized for not believing in him yesterday.
To be honest, now that the Ming army was approaching the city, unlike last time, she really felt scared like never before. She was an orphan and a widowed mother. How many people could take care of her and her mother in a critical moment?
Therefore, Shengjing must be defended by her mother and son. Otherwise, who would recognize the mother and son outside Shengjing City?
Dorgon was overjoyed to see that the long-term sluggish morale had finally improved.
He immediately issued another order, indicating that the army's morale had been weakened, and there was no replenishment of food and grass outside the city. In this case, it would be difficult for the Ming cavalry to do anything. As long as Prince Yu in Liaoyang can hold back the Ming infantry, the Qing Dynasty will definitely win this battle!
As for whether Prince Yu could hold back the infantry of the Ming Dynasty, he analyzed it from several aspects, such as what is leisure waiting for work, what is a strong city, what is a strong military, etc. Anyway, it sounds like he is clear and logical, so that the Qing soldiers in Shengjing City can Not to mention it, the more I think about it, I feel that the Qing Dynasty has a great chance of winning.
However, their joyful mood only lasted until the afternoon. Dorgon, who did not dare to stay in the Chongzheng Hall and had been staying at the top of the city, did not even report to his men. The rumble of horse hooves alerted them again.
Without seeing the Ming cavalry in full formation, they knew that the cavalry expected to arrive might not be the Qing army.
Sure enough, what appeared in their field of vision was another long and dazzling red dragon.
Although the Ming cavalry army that came this time did not even number ten thousand, watching the Ming army join forces outside the city and cheering, there is no doubt that it was a very heavy blow to the Jianlu in Shengjing City.
If the war in Liaoyang was intense and intense, would the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty send cavalry to Shengjing?
The answer is obvious, even a fool can know it!
However, it is a bit difficult for any Jianlu to accept that Liaoyang fell into trouble so quickly.
Regardless of trust in the friendly forces of Liaoyang City, or the sadness of the rabbit's death, the captives in Shengjing City subconsciously denied the fall of Liaoyang.
Just as Dorgon frowned and said to Yue Tuo: "Even if there are 30,000 pigs in Liaoyang City, it will take a few days for the Ming army to kill them. What's more, whether it is Prince Yu or the Qing warriors under his command, , how can he be someone who just surrenders? The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom said that those who have not surrendered before will have their clans exterminated. Who would dare to surrender if he doesn’t have a bunch of Ming people’s lives in his hands?”
Yue Tuo heard this and was about to answer when he heard another cheer from the Ming army outside the city. Then some Ming army soldiers shouted outside the city, which attracted the Qing soldiers at the top of the city to look over.
"The Ming Dynasty has regained Liaoyang, will you surrender?"
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Liaoyang City was captured by the army yesterday. How long will it take if we don't surrender?"
"If you don't surrender, you will die!"
"..."
Yue Tuo had a gloomy face at first and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the Ming army roaring. Instead, he showed a hint of surprise and immediately changed his words and said to Dorgon: "If the Ming army really captured Liaoyang, they would definitely not do it." Just wait for the main force of the infantry to arrive in Shengjing. Otherwise, what will happen if our army breaks through at all costs? From this we can see that this is probably an attempt by the Ming army to undermine the morale of our army!"
Dorgon listened and nodded repeatedly: "Even if our army does not break through, if the morale is high, the Ming army will definitely have to pay a heavy price if they want to attack the city."
Of course, that's what he said, but he still had hidden worries in his heart. The situation in the Qing Dynasty was actually extremely bad. Saying this, thinking this way, it is just a desperate attempt to survive.
As he said himself, the Qing Dynasty could not afford to lose. If Shengjing loses this battle, he will be exterminated!
As a result, the military order was passed down again, exposing the Ming army's conspiracy to ordinary soldiers again. I have to say, this still has a certain effect. The morale, which was originally low due to the reinforcement of the Ming cavalry, has become much higher again.
This time, Bumbutai did not send Obai over, which was considered a sign of trust in Dorgon.
However, Bumbutai keenly discovered that Dorgon seemed to have a lot more white hair. I don’t know if I didn’t notice it before or if it turned white overnight. This made her panic again. After holding it in for a day, she asked Dorgon, "What if Shengjing cannot hold on? What will my mother and son do?"
"Nothing. Do you think that when the Ming army went to the Qing Dynasty, the food and supplies fell from the sky?" Dorgon saw this and couldn't help scolding him, "Liaoyang held off the Ming army for ten and a half days, and Shengjing beat him again." Ten days and a half. The more troops the Ming army brings, the faster they will be defeated!"
