Chongzhen Chat Group

"Well, it's expected!" Emperor Chongzhen replied with a sigh of relief after seeing it.

Hailanzhu saw it and said quietly after a moment of silence: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has this weapon. In fact... it's almost the same with or without me!"

Originally, she thought that she would play a big role in the Gaizhou offensive and defense. After all, she could inform Emperor Chongzhen of the news in time, and the impact on the war could be imagined. But who knew that the Ming army had such a powerful weapon, it would be easy to defend Gaizhou. It didn't really matter if we wanted to know about her or not.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard her words, he immediately understood Hai Lanzhu's mood at this time. After thinking about it for a moment, he answered her: "How is it possible? Your role is very great!"

"Haha, don't comfort me!" Hai Lanzhu said with a wry smile in his heart.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little helpless when he saw it, so he had to explain to her: "Do you know how much money was spent on this battle just now? This war is all about money! Although I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I am still poor right now! Therefore, this kind of defense will not come many times..."

Hearing that he actually told her this, Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but feel touched. Just think about it, if it wasn't for a good relationship, or if Emperor Chongzhen had himself in mind, how could he cry to himself about his poverty? Even if you really have no money and are really in trouble, you will hide it, right?

Thinking of this, her mood suddenly improved. In fact, basically everyone knows that the Ming Emperor is short of money. Otherwise, the previous experiences of the Ming army would be fake!

Hai Lanzhu actually didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen didn't tell her the truth just now. The way he defended the city just now used so many gunpowder weapons at once. It's not that this kind of defense can't be done several times, but it can only be done once. That’s all!

It is precisely because of this that they had been showing weakness to the enemy before, and in order to fight the increase in casualties on the city, they had to pretend that they were about to be captured by the Jianlu, so as to attract as many Jianlu troops as possible to gather under the city before using this move. However, judging from the actual results, the expected results were indeed achieved, and the money was not wasted!

While thinking about it, Hai Lanzhu quickly comforted Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will continue to inquire about the news and inform you in time!"

"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and immediately responded, "The ultimate goal of my launching this Gaizhou War is not to occupy Gaizhou, but to consume as much of Jianlu's strength as possible. Therefore, the Gaizhou War is actually The fight is not limited to Gaizhou. Don’t I have a chat group? Therefore, both the Guan Ning Army and the Dongjiang Army must be mobilized together, so that they can live up to my chat group and consume and attack Jianlu’s strength as much as possible. Recovering Liaodong as soon as possible will bring peace to the world, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but praise after hearing this.

After she exited the chat group, her mood improved significantly. She looked at Buhe and asked, "Eqige, what will Jianlu do next?"

Bu He felt the change in his daughter's mood and immediately guessed that she might have gone to talk to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although he didn't know what was said, judging from his daughter's mood, it should be a good thing, so he didn't ask, but Looking in the direction of Huang Taiji, he said with some worry: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'm going to completely break up!"

As he expected, Huang Taiji's face looked extremely ugly at this time. He pinned his hopes on conquering the city of Gaizhou in one fell swoop, but he never expected that he was so well prepared and saw victory in sight, but suddenly suffered such heavy losses! Not to mention that such casualties are unbearable, but the impact of this defeat is too great!

For a moment, he was a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to do next! This was the first time in his fighting career that such a situation had occurred!

Seeing that Huang Taiji was in a daze and did not give any further orders, Daishan turned his head to look at the crowd retreating from Gaizhou City. He sighed in his heart and was also very worried. What should the Qing Dynasty do next?

At the same time, he had other worries, because he knew that if he had not suggested an all-out attack, the losses might not have been so great. In the final analysis, he was responsible for such a defeat. I just don’t know if Huang Taiji will settle this issue with him?

Fan Wencheng beside him only came back to his senses at this time. He had really believed that the city was about to be destroyed, so he suggested to Huang Taiji that he could go to the city to spend the night tonight. I really didn’t expect that the situation would reverse so quickly!

At this time, after he tasted the embarrassment of being slapped in the face, his mind immediately started thinking about the next thing. He knew that Huang Taiji needed his "strategist" for advice.

Yue Tuo hurried back to Huang Taiji and shouted loudly, which brought everyone here back to their senses: "Your Majesty, our army has lost nearly 2,000 people, and the Mongolian tribes have probably lost more than 7,000 people! "

These are all gone. The besieging army totaled about 30,000 people. The losses this time were nearly one-third. How can we fight this battle? Do you still want to fight? It’s all up to Huang Taiji to make the decision!

Huang Taiji had known for a long time that the losses would be heavy, but hearing Yue Tuo's report was still a bit unexpected. There was no color on his fat face, and his small eyes scanned the retreating soldiers. He knew in his heart that the impact on morale must be very great, and it would be impossible to organize an siege immediately. So, he had no choice but to issue an order: "Go back to camp and rest!"

"Your Majesty, be careful of those Mongols!" Fan Wencheng heard this and quickly said something to show his presence.

After hearing this, Huang Taiji looked back at the Mongolians, nodded slightly, and ordered Daishan: "After returning to the camp, immediately take control of the leaders of the Mongolian tribes!"

After saying that, he didn't stay any further, and immediately turned his horse's head and left quickly, as if he couldn't see the embarrassing situation and his troubles would be gone.

At the top of Gaizhou City, Cao Bianjiao had just finished listening to the report of his generals. He turned to Gao Yingyuan and said: "In this battle, thirty-six of our troops were killed, thirty-five were given heavy rewards, and one hundred and forty-two were slightly injured." People. Killed nearly 10,000 enemies, including about 2,000 Jurchens, and the rest were Han troops and Mongols."

If it weren't for the purpose of luring the enemy deep into the city and allowing them to crowd as much as possible under the city, there wouldn't be so many casualties. But the results of this battle were so huge. No matter which historical period we compare the losses suffered by both sides, it can be said to be a great victory! If the emperor hadn't analyzed it in advance, Cao Bianjiao would have thought that Jianlu suffered heavy losses and would have withdrawn his troops!

After Emperor Chongzhen received the result, he immediately informed Lu Xiangsheng of the Dongjiang Army and Cao Wenzhao of the Guanning Cavalry Army through the chat group. With the announcement of the two generals, the morale of the two armies suddenly rose!

Thanks to Tianwaitian007, Daoister, and Yuyang Do1 for the rewards!
