Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 169 A Contest of Strength

Therefore, the result of this operation of the Manchu Qing army is obvious.

They were running back and forth, from the rear army to the front army, then to the rear army, and back to the front army again. I just saw them running back and forth, in a hurry, in a hurry, and every time they were running back and forth as if there was something urgent. Yet nothing changed.Under such circumstances, even the people of the Ming Dynasty who were plundered were enjoying themselves in misery, just like watching a monkey show.

The panda-eyed Dorgon waited until the next morning for Yuetuo and Haoge to come back.

He also didn't sleep all night, no matter how big his heart was, he couldn't fall asleep just after losing the battle.Worried that the Ming army would be surprised again, and instead take advantage of the night to sneak attack on the South Bank.In fact, the actions of the Ming army in these few fights made him feel a little unpredictable.In this way, he can't be sloppy. He has to arrange the defensive matter.

He must also consider how to fight the next war.He also had to think about what to say to Huang Taiji when he returned to Liaodong.Anyway, as a coach, he has too many things to consider.

However, when he heard that Yue Tuo and Hauge's troops had returned, he couldn't wait for the two men to enter the camp of the Chinese army, so he went out to greet them in person, and just happened to bump into him outside the tent, so he couldn't help asking first: "But Is there Lu Xiangsheng's head?"

If there is Lu Xiangsheng's head, then killing a famous person from the Ming Dynasty will be a worry, and Huang Taiji can also explain a thing or two.In addition, the [-] to [-] phantom soldiers behind must have been killed, so there is no need to ask about this, it must be like this.Such a large-scale Ming army can also be considered a credit.

After he finished asking, he found that Yue Tuo and Hauge's faces were not good-looking. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help asking another question: "Could it be that you didn't kill Lu Xiangsheng again this time?"

"It's not just that Lu Xiangsheng was not killed!" When Hauge heard this, he suddenly exploded and shouted loudly, "There is not even a shadow of a ghost. The Ming army behind has already run away and is hiding in the city! We can't let us take the lead. Are you going to attack the city with cavalry? You are so damn useless, running around and doing monkey tricks!"

He looked down on Ming Gou the most, and as a result, he was played around by Ming Gou, and of course he became angry.

Upon hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help being stunned!He originally had expectations, but now his expectations were shattered, and one can imagine the disappointment in his heart, and there was one less reason to explain to Huang Taiji.

Turning his head to look around, he found that the morale of all the soldiers he could see was low, and he was even more depressed.If you defeat the next [-] to [-] Ming troops, no matter whether they are fake or not, if you spread the word like this, at least you can restore a lot of morale.But now, it's gone!
At this moment, he couldn't help but be surprised by Lu Xiangsheng's quick response. In this way, he regretted even more, why didn't he kill Lu Xiangsheng before withdrawing the army!
Sorry for the first time!
However, Dorgon was also a decisive person, and he regretted it for a while, so he put it aside, turned around and paid for it, and at the same time passed orders and drummed to discuss the matter.

After all the leaders of the Jianlu arrived, Dorgon looked like a normal person. He glanced down and saw that the generals below looked a little downcast. I already know everything. Everyone, there are only more than 2 Ming troops on the other side, and our army has at least [-] available troops. With the strength of our Qing Dynasty, we can fight more and less, even if there is a Weihe River to separate us. I can beat the past to avenge my shame. Everyone, are you confident?"

He has analyzed it so clearly, it would be strange if anyone still lacks confidence.

Seeing that the morale in the Chinese military tent had improved a lot, Dorgon began to formally discuss the next war.

On their left is Sanjiaodian, and there is definitely no way to pass here.And because the triangle lake is too big, there is no way to detour.Therefore, there is only one way to go, which is to cross the Wei River.

The result of the discussion did not exceed the expectations of the Ming army. It was to use their superiority in military strength to carry out a strong attack in many places on the current Weihe River to share the strength of the Ming army on the other side.If there are more places to attack, the troops on the opposite side will be less. As long as one is breached, the other places can be reinforced. It is impossible for the Ming army to defend Weihe.

This strategy is to speak truthfully and with strength, without any lies.In this way, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties should concentrate as many troops as possible along the Wei River and work together to overstretch the Ming army on the other side.

After this military order was passed down, the Manchu camp immediately began to move.The obvious strength here made the Manchu Tartars realize that they had a great chance of winning. Therefore, morale slowly began to recover.In any case, the defeat at the hands of the Ming army made it a little difficult for them to accept, and they believed that they only lost for a while, and they would win soon.

On the north bank, at the head of the city of Tianjin, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting became worried as they saw more and more Tartars gathering on the other side.Can they see what the Tartars are going to do next?And this happens to be the weakness of the Ming army.

Sun Chuanting looked at it, sighed suddenly, and said a little angrily: "Hey, my Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and the number of people is hundreds or thousands of times that of the Tartars. Why are the available troops so limited? Why?"

Hong Chengchou listened, but did not speak, he believed that Sun Chuanting himself knew the answer.However, seeing that Sun Chuanting was looking at him and talking, he had no choice but to respond: "Unfortunately, with this little force, we have to divide our troops to do other things. No matter what, we can only do our best to fight with Jianlu." That's it!"

As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly noticed something was wrong with Sun Chuanting's eyes, as if he had seen something impossible, so he turned to look behind him, and his eyes suddenly widened.Because there is a Ming army coming from a distance.

At this time, it is still too far away to see clearly.Sun Chuanting couldn't help asking: "Where did the troops come from? If those guard soldiers came, they would only waste a little food. It would be better if they didn't come!"

Regarding this, Hong Chengchou felt the same, nodded, although he didn't speak, he echoed his meaning.

The two continued to watch, and after a while, it was Sun Chuanting again, who said in an unbelievable tone: "Isn't this the food army we sent out? Could it be... Could it be that those people robbed all the food? Or Hurry up and leave, regardless of the severe cold and hunger?"

He couldn't figure it out, why did this Ming army turn back?

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and said in the same puzzle: "Looking at the number of people, it seems that the number has not decreased, that is to say, there is no trace of hands. It is impossible. Those people will take care of themselves and don't need the army to guard the food. Bar?"

In this regard, both of them actually did not believe it in their hearts.With that little food, I can only cook porridge every day.When did the people of Ming Dynasty become so obedient?No matter how obedient they are, there are nearly 20 people, and there are not a few hooligans and gangsters among them, and there are no people who form gangs to take more food?
Can't figure it out, can't figure it out!

If you can't figure it out, just ask.

After the leading general came back, he didn't even wait for the two of them to open their mouths, and directly reported: "Mr. Governor, Mr. Zhongcheng, the last general met the sincere uncle sent by the emperor on the way. The people rescued by our army. Uncle Chengyi explained to the general that there is a shortage of troops here, so let the general come back quickly, and the emperor has made a decree for the matter over there, and everything will be left to him.”

When Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting heard this, they couldn't help but looked at each other, their eyes were full of surprise.The emperor actually thought about it in advance and solved a big problem for them.

Thinking of everything before, the two of them couldn't help but respect the emperor from the bottom of their hearts at this moment.

This respect is not because of his status as the emperor, but because Emperor Chongzhen has anticipated their difficulties everywhere, solved their difficulties in time, and created a foundation for them to win the battle.

If they have played the glory of the king, they will know that Emperor Chongzhen at this time actually played a supporting role, and this supporting role was done very well, allowing junglers or shooters to harvest heads very freely, or unscrupulously output.In such a match, it would be strange not to win!

Although Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting didn't know that the King of Glory game would appear in the future, they felt as comfortable as the supported junglers and shooters.

Both of them sighed from the bottom of their hearts: Such a wise and mighty emperor is very rare among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty!

At this moment, although the two had to face several times the Jianlu army on the other side, in their hearts, a lot of worries were relieved, and their confidence increased invisibly.

With the unexpected increase in troops, the two frontier officials who led the troops immediately re-discussed that no matter what, they must at least use the Wei River for sniping, and first consume the Jianlu troops!

On the Manchu and Qing Tatar side, there were already troops fleeing back to the north bank one after another, but Turg was not seen returning.Dorgon estimated that Turge probably died in the battle on the north bank.In this way, there is no way to explain away the responsibility for his defeat, and anything can be blamed on him.

Of course, in Dorgon's view, it was indeed Turge's responsibility. He could see clearly from the south bank that Turge's continuous tricks caused the Qing army on the north bank to be defeated!
Next, he didn't care about Turg's affairs, and began to concentrate on the current battle.

Along the Wei River, the Manchu Qing army tried to get out of the area with thick ice or the relatively narrow river, and started a strong attack.They have many archers, and they can use archers to cover them. While laying wooden boards, they can also use wooden boards to make simple car cover.

The Ming army also mobilized archers and gunmen to block the attack, and even mobilized several cannons to aim at them.As we get closer, the soldiers with weapons will go into battle.

On the side of the Manchu Qing army, they often took advantage of the night to do smuggling.Even on an unobtrusive river with few people, they rolled over the ice. If they were unlucky, they would fall to feed the fish when they reached the thin ice around the center of the river; if they were lucky, they would roll them secretly. To the north shore.

However, on the Ming army's side, there were patrol posts along the Wei River, and no one dared to be careless. They would soon find the scattered Tatars who had smuggled in, and suppressed them immediately without giving them a chance to gather in small groups.

In addition, the Ming army often took the initiative to destroy the ice surface, or melted it with fire, or smashed the ice surface with a big hammer.Although the weather is very cold, it will freeze again when you turn back, but no matter what, it is still useful.

All in all, crossing the river but not the river, the two sides launched a battle of wisdom and courage.Both sides tried their best to send troops out, but Jianlu took the initiative, while the Ming army was forced to fight day and night with all means.

Slowly, as expected by Dorgon and others, the strength of the Ming army was revealed.As the entire Wei River was full of Tartars who wanted to cross the river, the Ming army had to send more troops, and there was even no rotation.

Seeing all this and noticing the fatigue of the Ming army on the opposite side, Dorgon finally showed a happy look, and confidently said to the Tatar leader beside him: "In two more days, the Ming army will definitely not be able to endure it." , will definitely be broken through to the other side by our army!"

After hearing this, Hauge couldn't help but said: "What are you waiting for two days? If we increase our strength, we can drag down the Ming army and attack directly!"

After finishing speaking, he began to complain again: "Those Ming people don't know where they were transferred by the Ming army, and the later they go, the harder it is to find, and our food and supplies are all cheaper than Ming dogs on the other side. Already!"

After hearing this, Yue Tuo felt that it made sense, and suggested to Dorgon: "We no longer have the Ming army behind us, or we can mobilize more troops from Anping Baylor. This will be the last straw, and we will definitely bring down the other side immediately." Ming army. In this way, we may be able to recover a lot of losses by sending out cavalry."

Dorgon listened, looked up at the other side, finally nodded and said: "Forget it, now we only have half the population and supplies in our hands, and the hard work of several months is gone. This king is also ashamed of the soldiers who entered the customs together. Then In this way, we will deploy some more troops to recover some losses as much as possible. When we return to Liaodong, it would be good if the banners can divide more."

If he brought back more booty and made more contributions, he would be able to talk more easily when he explained to Huang Taiji later, and maybe he could cover up the two defeats since he entered the customs.

Dorgon agreed, and naturally a military order was issued.

Then, Dorgon came to a separate camp, surrounded by real Tartars, closely guarded.He would come over every day to make inspections, and when he saw De Wang and other vassals doing well, he felt a little more confident.No matter what, it was the first time in the Qing Dynasty that the clan of the Ming Dynasty could be captured this time, so it must have been a great achievement.

However, he didn't know that at this time, the Emperor Chongzhen really wished that he could rob all the Ming vassal kings, preferably the whole family.If you want to be a treasure, you will get it all.It's just a pity that when the [-] Manchu Qing troops entered the pass, they only plundered a De Wangfu.

What Dorgon didn't even know was that his new round of troop deployments finally alerted the lurking Lu Xiangsheng.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng only had a thousand cavalry, which was not enough to put a gap between the teeth for the huge Manchu troops.And the Manchus were not defenseless, they had scouting horses scattered around the camp.His advantage is surprise, so he only has one chance.

As for when to use this opportunity, Lu Xiangsheng is not a god, nor does he have eavesdropping seeds. He doesn't know the situation on the front line, so he can only wait for the opportunity to appear.

No, he heard that Lurking Ye didn't receive any return, saying that the Tartars had again drawn troops from the rear and headed north.After thinking for a while, he made a decision immediately.I can't wait any longer, if I wait any longer, I don't know how long the friendly forces on the north bank of the Weihe River can last!Something must be done to give the friendly forces a strong support.
