Near Beacon Mountain, Dorgon's camp.
Perhaps it is no longer suitable to be called a big camp. With the onslaught of the Xuanjia Army in the past few days, the artillery shells are about to hit the headquarters of Dorgon, so for safety reasons, they have dug bunkers underground and transferred them. It's half underground.
But even so, when Dorgon received the notification from Huang Taiji, he was stunned... Oh my god, there is such a thing? It turns out that they have been played round and round by the Ming army
Even he felt a deep sense of frustration... You must know that Dorgon is also a very conceited person, conceited and talented, otherwise he will not have the title of Prince Rui, including his old rival Yang Shan Compared with Lu, it is not inferior, and the reason why he has lost one after another in previous contests with Yang Shanlu is only because the opponent has the advantage of weapons.
But now? For this battle, did Renjia start its layout a year ago? Is it ridiculous that we are still kept in the dark? Stupidly sent to the door to be beaten by yourself? I'm not as good as this wisdom!
But despite this, it also aroused the fierceness in his heart! So what if you are wise, so what if you are strategizing! I, Qing Dynasty, may not necessarily lose! (The premise is that he can continue to hold on for more than five days!)
Of course, he also knows very well that it will be a difficult task to stick to it for another five days! Because only he is personally directing here, he knows the difficulty of the current battle!
After six consecutive days of fighting, more than half of his 80,000 army has been lost, and countless people have been injured! (Even because of the severe situation, the lightly wounded cannot get off the line. Instead, they must insist on fighting. Even the severely wounded must play the final role. They should lie down on the battlefield with their swords and guns and wait until the Xuanjia Army rushes up. Spell one out and count one)
But even so, the situation today is still getting more serious (after all, the previous plan was formulated according to sticking to five days, but now, there are not many bullets, bows and arrows, and all kinds of military supplies are in urgent need, including food rations. In this way, the ability to persist until now is entirely dependent on the bravery of the warriors in combat).
And objectively speaking, even if the current manpower is still usable (more than 30,000 people can fight), the key problem is that the site has been compressed to the extreme!
The site they originally controlled was a narrow area with a length of more than 20 miles and a depth of seven or eight miles. Although it was not big enough, it was sufficiently defensive, but what about now? They have been compressed to only six or seven li in length, and a dangerous situation of only two li in depth-such a small place, as long as any position is captured by the Ming army, it will affect the command and cannot be moved. !
Including the Xuanjia Army’s shells, they can hit him on the head anytime, anywhere! Such a severe situation...
So if you put it on any normal person, that is, if you have a little common sense, you should make a breakthrough choice! Otherwise, if you have the power to stop running now, you won’t be able to run when you run out of power! But at this critical moment, can Dorgon run
Dorgon is still very clear about the pre-judgment of the battle situation. Yes, if you run now, it will be no problem to break through, but the problem is that it will not work if you stick to the position now. If you wait until all ministries start running, it is probably even worse. … Can an army of 80,000 escape back to 10,000
And in this way, the war had just started and it suffered such a big defeat. The 200,000 army was worthy of one-third of it. No matter how you look at it, it is a big defeat!
And if the reverse is true, as long as he persists for another five days, he believes that Huang Taiji will definitely be able to win a small fortress! At that time, with the urinary nature of the Ming army, their ability to endure hunger and cold was far lower than that of my Qing warriors! Moreover, I still fight in the bitter cold outside the pass, and I am even more uncomfortable, and at that time, it is a good time for my Qing Dynasty to turn defeat into victory!
It's just that this decision is not easy to make, maybe you have to take your life as a bet!
How to do? what to do? In the end, Dorgon considered it for a long time, but decided resolutely-stick to it for another five days! Even if you hit the last soldier, including your own life, you must firmly control the Ming army's food supply!
So after the decision was made, Dorgon then held a military meeting... After all, to carry out this decision, he still needs to rely on the solid mountains of his subordinates.
However, after the dozens of Gushan Ejin arrived, the atmosphere on the scene did not cut off the Ming Army Food Road at the beginning, so optimistic, there were even a few Gu Shan Ejin, with a rare expression of fear on their faces. color.
And this is also very obvious. The current situation is unfavorable. Under the fierce attack of the Ming army, their life is Wang Xiaoer's New Year. One year is not as good as one year. So they are especially looking forward to hearing from Dorgon. Good news.
But when everyone arrived, Dorgon first showed them Huang Taiji's letter, and then announced the decision to them, these solid mountains were really dumbfounded... Do you still have to hold on for five days? You know the original purpose, which is to stick to it for five days, but now? Five days plus six days becomes eleven days!
And this is easy to say, this is fatal! Even sticking to it to the end, I am afraid that even they will have to catch it all!
So there were more than a dozen Gushan Erzhen, senior generals in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but no one dared to agree to it. The decline of my Qing Dynasty is evident.
Seeing such a scene, Dorgon felt sad in his heart, but he said: "What? Are you afraid? Even if there is a moment, this king will be with you! This king is not afraid, you dogs What are the minions afraid of!"
"Not to mention who our opponents are! Don't we Daqing warriors still compare to those cowardly Han Chinese? Don't forget your identity, don't forget the heroic spirits of Emperor Taizu, who are still looking at us in the sky, Shall we all be sinners of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Follow the prince to the death!" I have to say that Dorgon boosts morale, and he still has a good set of things, including the solid mountains present, most of which are his confidants (the two white flags), so he is much After Ergun was so excited, they all raised their heads in shame, saying that they must coexist and die with Liangdao!
Of course, this was not enough. Dorgon once again painted them a bright future. As long as he cooperated with Huang Taiji, after taking down all the Ming army’s last food reserves, by then...
As a result, morale has finally increased a bit, but even so, in the process of expressing determination, one of the Mongolian Eight Banners Gushanezhen never said a word...because he had other ideas.
Originally, these Mongolian tribes were forced to come, and they were forcibly called to join the war! Of course, he didn't think it would be too dangerous. After all, this guy came to an army of 80,000, there should be nothing wrong, but now? This makes it clear that continuing to hold on is to wait for death, so he won't accompany him... After all, even if this country is defeated, it is also their love for the Xinjueluo family!
Of course, this one also knows that he can’t speak to Dorgon in such a straightforward manner. He has to find a reason, so this Gu Shan’e really accompanied his smiling face and said: “Wang Ye Mingjian, if you want to continue to hold on for five days, of course it’s okay. Yes, but nowadays there are not many materials, so should the minions lead a breakout and move the rescuers..."
But before this Gushane really finished speaking, Dorgon had suddenly pulled out a small silver knife that he was wearing... and it plunged into his stomach!
Then, looking at the unbelievable look in this Gu Shan'e, Dorgon stabbed a few more times and pushed his corpse to the ground before he said viciously: "There will be no retreat in this battle! Anyone who dares to confuse the crowd and shake the morale of the military in this demon will all end up just like this!"
(After all, Dorgon knows very well that you are going to move rescue soldiers? Make it clear that you want to escape? And when you run away, other people can still follow? And Dorgon knows more clearly that moving rescue soldiers is just a pretext. Even if he can move in to rescue soldiers from Huang Taiji, it will take five or six days to come and go! So you want to deceive this king! Hum...)
Then seeing Dorgon’s hand, the generals of the Qing army present were all shocked... In their impression, Prince Rui has always belonged to a different kind of Manchu, respected Han culture, and has always been gentle and gentle. , But now? There is such a cruel side
So in this way, no matter if they had the mind to hold on before or didn't, they were so scared that they did not dare to move, and they all said that they would coexist and die with the position! Swear to stay for more than five days!
So in this way, after Dorgon finally got his satisfactory answer, a more fierce battle continued!
Furthermore, Huang Taiji received a reply from Dorgon in anticipation, and when he saw that Dorgon expressed in the letter that he was willing to stick to it, Huang Taiji was moved to tears on the spot... As expected of Nurhachi The descendants of this loyalty...
It’s just that, he didn’t dare to neglect, so under his personal command, in addition to leaving 80,000 horses to block the main force of the Ming army, the other 40,000 people let his son Hauge lead the army towards the great army. Dingbao rushed forward!
Moreover, Dading Fort is not far from the base camp of the Qing army, so it only took about half a day for the 40,000 Qing army to arrive, and because of the previous strict orders of Huang Taiji-Dading Fort could not be taken within three days. See you soon!
So these dog tartars seemed to have taken a crazy agent, they just arrived, and immediately began to attack the city non-stop!
Here we need to introduce the situation of Dading Fort. Dading Fort was built a year ago. The specification is a first-level garrison (general garrison of 1,500 to 2,000 personnel), and it is in harmony with other troops of the Ming army in Liaodong. Fort is different, it is an absolute boutique project, a quality project, because when Yang Shanlu made this decision, he knew what an important task he was going to shoulder!
Therefore, the various indicators of this Dading Fort are far higher than those of ordinary military fortresses. For example, its city wall is usually three feet high in this specification, but Dading Fort is as high as four feet and three feet! The thickness of the city wall is also greatly exceeded, including the large blue bricks used in the construction of the castle, which are selected with the best quality, and the joints are glued with glutinous rice juice. The fastness is almost comparable to that of later generations of concrete!
Therefore, in front of such a military fort armed to the teeth, how difficult it will be for the siege of the dog tarzi, you can imagine!
As for the defender of the city, let alone, he is the famous Yan Yingyuan!
Yan Yingyuan had already introduced before that, in the original history, as a pawn, he led one hundred thousand people and could fight against 240,000 Qing troops! Stick to Jiangyin for 81 days! Such a record is unheard of at home and abroad in ancient and modern times! So let alone now, Yang Shanlu had allocated his five thousand profound armor troops to defend the city long ago, plus sufficient ammunition, so if he is used to defend the city now...
And Yan Yingyuan also pretends very well. Even though he has such a strong force (in the future, Wu Sangui's powerful Guanning cavalry will only have three thousand core knights), but he has been'unable to shrink out' and stayed quietly. Living in Dadingbao.
So let these dogs mistakenly think that it is just an ordinary military fort, just like the dozens of fortresses under the jurisdiction of Daming in Liaodong at this time, it is just a decoration, but now
So after the Qing army began to attack the city, a siege that was destined to remain forever in the history of the war between the two armies, and that was about the victory or defeat of the two armies, began like this! (End of this chapter)
