"Report! The emperor is overjoyed!" As a Gushan erupted came in and reported that it was Prince Rui who had successfully intercepted the Ming army’s food channel and had already launched a tenacious defense on the ground, Huang Taiji was all excited. Laughing... Great! I deserve to be one of the pillars of the Qing Dynasty. I did a very beautiful job!
And what made him even more relieved was that the so-called traps of the Ming army had also been understood, that is, they had a large army ambushing outside the grain road, and now they have surrounded the 80,000 horses led by Prince Rui.
But what is this trap in Huang Taiji's eyes? Even if surrounded by groups, wouldn't the 80,000 Qing warriors even hold on for five days? Not to mention that they are led by the resourceful and resourceful Prince, so there is no need to worry at all, but the problem is that as long as they hold on for more than five days, the Ming army...
So after receiving this good news, Huang Taiji immediately notified the important Manchu officials around him, and when these important Manchu officials, like the banner owners of the Eight Banners, or Prince Baylor, heard it, they were very happy. A cracked mouth laughed.
Someone even suggested: "The emperor, since Prince Rui has already succeeded, should we also fight Minggu here to cooperate with Prince Rui."
"No need—" Huang Taiji waved his hand when he heard it, and said with a confident look: "Although I came to Qing Dynasty this time with the power of the whole country, I have the heart of death, but the lives of the soldiers are still very high. It’s precious, so in this advantageous situation, there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices."
That is to say, from Huang Taiji's point of view, it is completely unnecessary to fight the main force of the Ming army at this time.
Because the matter was obvious, as long as five days later, the Ming army ran out of rations, and found that the rear grain could not be shipped (the grain path had been cut off), what would happen then? Will the Ming army collapse without fighting? So now there is no need to consume precious combat power at all!
(Of course, in the original history, the facts were exactly the same as Huang Taiji had judged. After the food shortage, the Ming army was completely defeated! Fighting to escape! Even because the Ming army was killed in this battle too many (up to four to fifty thousand), The blood of the Ming army dyed the entire sea red! Next to Songshan is the sea, of course now...)
After listening to Huang Taiji's analysis, these important officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty suddenly realized and praised the wise ones.
In this case, the next thing Huang Taiji has to do is to count the days...
And he ordered all Qing troops to be prepared, and after only five days, they would be able to annihilate the main force of the opposing Ming army in one fell swoop! (Including Dorgon can turn defeat into victory!) Create an unworldly cause!
So I just waited and waited, and finally waited five days later, the thing that made Huang Taiji dumbfounded happened... Five days have passed, but the main force of the Ming army facing him is still fluttering with banners and the order of the barracks is in order. , There is no sign of collapse!
Damn, what's going on? Huang Taiji is truly dumbfounded! With the urinary sex of Ming Jun he knew well, this shouldn't be it at all? Or did the Ming army carry a lot of rations this time, so they can still eat for a day or two? But anyway, the old and cunning Huang Taiji still smelled a bit of a bad feeling from it!
So on the one hand, he immediately got in touch with Dorgon in the encirclement (of course, this connection has not been broken in the past few days, they have a special domesticated harrier for communication), and made sure that the other party is still firmly in control There was not a grain of grain to be delivered to the food road. On the other hand, he sent a large number of sentry to scout near the Ming army camp to see what the hell was going on!
At the same time that Huang Taiji was investigating, let's talk about Dorgon here... He is really struggling here! What have been the past five days! Anyway, after daybreak every day, fighting started! And the most terrible thing is that no matter how tenacious the warriors fight and fight bravely, the position is still being compressed bit by bit! Cannibalize!
Even after these five days of fighting, the territory they controlled has been compressed from its original length of more than 20 miles, and a depth of seven or eight miles, to a length of only seven or eight miles, and a depth of only two miles. —The Xuanjia Army’s shells are about to hit his head! Such a situation...
Of course, even if this were the case, Dorgon was still very confident, and he was full of conviction in this battle... that is, as long as you hold on for more than five days, you can win! (Because the Ming army ran out of food)
But now? It has been up to the fifth day, and the 80,000 warriors have already died in the battle for more than half! But not to mention the Ming army besieging them, there is no sign of collapse, including Huang Taiji's side, also said that the main Ming army confronting him, there is also no sign of collapse, or the kind of life that is very moisturized.
So after the collection of such battle reports, Dorgon himself was about to collapse... Where did this go wrong? The so-called carelessness will lose all the games. If this is due to a misjudgment, the whole army of 80,000 will be ruined here!
However, as the commander-in-chief of the army, Dorgon himself cannot be messy. Although he has noticed something wrong, he still cheers himself up and inspires confidence on the one hand. On the other hand, he is more frequent with the emperor. Tai Chi contact, let him find out the reason, so that he can adjust the countermeasure accordingly!
(Because if the situation is not right, there is no need to stick to the grain road, although the breakout has suffered heavy losses, it can still stand out! But if you wait a few more days, there will be fewer and fewer soldiers, and you will not be able to break through!)
In addition, he still needs to be a psychological counselor... In the face of many generals of the Qing army who came to ask questions, Dorgon had to pretend to be very calm, telling them that this was just a trick of the Han people, and they immediately It's going to run out of food! So as long as we continue to stick to it, we will win the final victory!
Then Dorgon said these nonsense things that he didn't even believe. After he had comforted these Qing Dynasty generals, what he could do next was to wait for news from Huang Taiji! (And he can't break through at this time. If it is the last rebirth of the Ming army, then he will lose a lot and lose the opportunity at his fingertips)
Besides, Huang Taiji, as time goes by, he feels more and more bad... But he just can't think of it, where is the problem
But after another day (that is, the sixth day that Dorgon was under siege), the outpost he sent out finally sent the much-needed information! That is the reason why the Ming Army did not move like a mountain... It turned out that there was an inconspicuous Ming Army Fortress near Xingshan—Dading Fort (that is, between Tashan and Xingshan).
Then from the day before yesterday, the Ming army began to transport grain from there continuously, and looking at that grain and rice in an endless posture, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to support it for another ten and a half days, so the Ming army is completely no need to worry!
Damn it! After receiving this news, Huang Taiji fell heavily on the dragon chair... He couldn't believe it, there was such a thing! And such a thing happened right under his nose! (Rufeng Mountain is only ten miles away from Dadingbao)
You must know that it was just an ordinary military fort, and it had been built there a year ago, and it was usually very timid. It never came out to harass my Eight Banners tribe, and there were not many garrisons (because it has always been 'The turtle is not daring to come out', so I take it for granted that there are not many) So although Huang Taiji has known for a long time that there is this fortress, he has never cared about it.
(After all, on the land of Liaodong at this time, there are still more than a dozen large and small forts in the Ming army. It is normal that they have not attracted attention)
But now? Such a humble military fort has become the key to the entire war? Has it even become the key to determining the fate of my Qing Dynasty
How to do? what to do? Huang Taiji began to think desperately... and he blamed himself very much, because of a momentary oversight, the overall situation was passive! Even sent eighty thousand warriors into the trap of the Ming army for nothing! So now, he must figure out a way to turn things around!
It has to be said that after the situation became clear, the decision was still very simple. Huang Taiji had made a decision almost without thinking about it, and immediately began to make a decreed: "Send my order to immediately send troops to attack Dading Fort! Take him down in the fastest time!"
"Ah!" After hearing that Huang Taiji made this decision, the important Manchu officials present were a little hesitant, and even some of them persuaded: "The emperor Qiqi, attacking Dading Fort is no problem, but the problem is the main force of the Ming army. We are confronting our army. If our army divides its forces to attack Dading Fort, if Minggou’s main force comes over..."
It has to be said that the Ming army's deceptions such as reducing troops and increasing stoves have done a great job. These dogs still believe that the main force of the Ming army on the opposite side is not 50,000, but at least 100,000! Anyway, they are almost the same, including these, they also saw the banner of the Xuanjia Army that scared them the most! So these dog tartars have always been cautious and dare not move around... So now...
But I have to say that Huang Taiji is still very decisive. He just whispered: "So what! I have 120,000 warriors in the Qing Dynasty! Of which 80,000 can be used against the main force of the Ming army. Another 40,000 people went to attack Dading Fort!"
But looking at some princes Baylor, he seemed to want to say more. Huang Taiji waved his hand and said: "My intention is determined, no need to say more! Send me troops immediately!"
"And you servants, remember to me, you must be fast! Even if it is filled with human lives, you must take down Dadingbao as soon as possible!"
"Zunzhi -" Seeing that Huang Taiji had already eaten the weights, he was determined to do so, and these important officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had only to take orders and execute them.
However, when Huang Taiji looked at these people, many people still didn't quite understand (Of course this is also normal. To be fair, in the Qing Dynasty at this time, besides Huang Taiji and Dorgon, others may not lack bravery. , Killing and killing are also good, but when it comes to strategy, what is this? Will these outside barbarians have? You know they have evolved from the slave society, it hasn’t been many years!)
Therefore, when Huang Taiji saw it, he had to explain it to them. Of course, this is also very obvious. The reason why Huang Taiji is so eager now is because the key to the battlefield lies in this small Dading Fort!
As long as the Dading Fort can be taken, the Ming army will really have no more food reserves, and can truly collapse without a fight! So that I have a clear victory!
On the contrary, if it can’t be taken, it’s the Qing Dynasty that will face collapse! At least the 80,000 horses who went to cut off the grain path became meaningless. Even according to the Han people, it was a trap by oneself—they fell into the trap!
Therefore, after Huang Taiji analyzed the situation clearly, the Man Qing officials present finally figured out... That's what happened!
So after knowing that the matter was urgent, the execution power of these dogs was still very strong, including whether there were any open and secret fights before, all put aside, but immediately according to what Huang Taiji said, 80,000 people opposed the main force of the Ming army. In addition, 40,000 people rushed to Dadingbao immediately to try to take him down as soon as possible! According to the time limit given by Huang Taiji, it must be won within three days!
And this is also very obvious. According to Huang Taiji's analysis, even if the Dorgon Department is tenacious, it is estimated to be able to support it for four to five days. No matter how much it is, it will be dangerous! So it must be won within three days!
Otherwise, if the Ming army does not take down Dading fort first, but the Ming army eats up the Dorgon Department, the grain road will be reopened, then at that time, does it matter if it does not take Dading fort? So at this time, time is life!
So after understanding the seriousness of the matter, the 40,000 Qing army immediately began to take action, rushing towards Dadingpu at the fastest speed! (Dading Fort is between Tashan and Xingshan, not far from the base camp of the Qing army).
Including Huang Taiji. At this time, after sending the army out, he still has one very important thing to do... That is to notify Dorgon of the latest information, and he needs to stick to it for at least five days!
Although he also knew that this was a very difficult task, and it could even be said to be a mortal task! The original plan was to stick to it for four to five days, but what about now? Directly doubled? And still there is no food and no reinforcements inside
But he can only hope that, and he also believes that with the power and courage of Dorgon, he will be able to hold on for another five days when the Qing Dynasty is alive and dead! And as long as we stick to it for another five days (the Dading Fortress will definitely be captured within five days), then it will be time for my Qing Dynasty to turn defeat into victory!
So at this critical moment, it depends on how Dorgon will choose? (End of this chapter)
