Chapter 33 God is fair

Compared with the thin and tall Dolgon, Huang Taiji is a little fatter.

He looked down at the nosebleed that had flowed down his shirt, then at Dolgon, and said, "Call the shaman." ”

Dolgon looked at his brother and whispered, "Call the Han doctor to deal with it, right?" ”

Huang Taiji pinched his nose with his hand and wanted to speak, but the nosebleed had already entered his mouth, and he had to glare at Dolgon.

Dolgon bowed slightly, and hurriedly left, bringing with him a masked shaman with a feather on his head.

The venue was soon enclosed by clay and wood-like guards with blue curtains, and the shaman, after lighting a handful of hair, began to circle around Huang Taiji with a bell.

After listening for a while, Dorgon said, "Does he really believe that the shaman can cure him of his nosebleeds?" ”

Dolgon frowned and said, "The Han doctor can't either, so why don't you choose to believe in the shaman?" ”

Duoduo looked at his own brother strangely, and then sneered: "In order to make the wild man in the old forest die, he will not even let go of himself. ”

"Shut up!"

Dorgon scolded Duoduo in a low voice, pushed him to a secluded place and said: "He is our emperor and our brother, he did this for my Qing Dynasty, next time, if you are rude to him, I will punish you severely." ”

"He has taken away our military power!"

"That's because we didn't kill Hong Chengchou!"

"If he comes, will he be able to kill Hong Chengchou?"

Dolgon looked up at the tall Songshan Fort opposite, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"Okay? How is this possible, these days he has not made an inch in besieging Songshan Fort, the Han army flag in Kong Youde's hand is about to die, and Feiyangu, who is besieging Xingshan, has not taken advantage of Cao Bianjiao. ”

Dolgon looked at his stupid brother and whispered: "Get ready, Hong Chengchou is going to escape, you must leave all the heavy artillery in Hong Chengchou's hand, I think, he won't take these things with him when he escapes." ”

The two brothers spoke for a while, and the strange sound of the shaman's snorting from his nose gradually stopped.

The fat Huang Taiji came out of the curtain, washed his hands in the copper basin held by the waiter, and said to Kong Youde, who was standing not far away: "This time, send Mongolian warriors to charge the city. ”

After Kong Youde knelt down on one knee and agreed, he handed a blue military flag to Daruba of Korqin.

Although he thought it strange that it would be unwise to attack the city with Mongol cavalry, he did not dare to ask.

The same Daruba was also strange, and he did not say a word again, but listened to Dolgon, who was standing on the side, say, "Fill in the ditch!" ”

Daruba came to his senses, glanced at Dorgon gratefully, and led the people to prepare.

Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon and said, "You are the smartest of our brothers, and you are also the most knowledgeable about current affairs, and many times, I think we have the same ideas.

Now, I will hand over the two white flags to you again, Dolgon, now is not the time to fight for power, the Qing Dynasty has reached the brink of great danger, if we can't defeat Hong Chengchou in this battle and take Shanhaiguan, we have to return to the old forest to be a savage. ”

Dorgon knelt down on one knee and said solemnly, "I understand. ”

Huang Taiji sighed and said, "Since you understand, don't save your strength this time." ”

After speaking, he left the battlefield.

Dolgon, who had regained his military power, did not have much joy on his face, and he did not say a word in the face of the two white flag generals who surrounded him, but just watched the Mongolian cavalry gallop towards Songshan Castle with their leather pockets.

Songshan Fort is actually not tall, but because of the terrain, it seems a little unattainable, and this slope does not cause any hindrance to the dwarf Mongolian horses, and when the horse's head appears within the range of the artillery, the artillery on Songshan Fort begins to roar.

The Mongol cavalry was torn apart by shells, and many of the Mongol horses were turned into a pile of minced meat and fell on the way to the charge, but there were still cavalrymen who braved muskets and arrows to pour the soil in their pockets into the deep trenches.

The battle was in full swing from the start......

At this time, Dorgon handed over his command to Dodor, and he came to a small valley.

Xia Chengde had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Dolgon coming in person, his eyes lit up a little, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, when will I go back to Songshan Fort?"

The last general thought that the prince had forgotten me. ”

Dolgon affectionately took Xia Chengde's hand and said: "Over the years, no matter how bad the situation is, I have never used you, not because I have forgotten you, but because your position is too important.

Even in Jinzhou, I suffered heavy losses in my two white flags, and I was not willing to use you, now it's time for you to make meritorious contributions. ”

Xia Chengde said excitedly: "The last general thought that the prince would fight to the death!" ”

Dolgon shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't need to fight to the death, there are only two things you have to do this time, one is to leave Hong Chengchou behind, and the other is to leave the artillery of Songshan Fort." ”

Xia Chengde said with a smile: "Twenty percent of the people in Songshan Fort are our people, as long as they are surprised, it is not difficult to achieve what the prince wants." ”

Dolgon laughed and said: "Okay, as long as you do it, I will not hesitate to reward, you want the land around Ningyuan, I will give it to you, you want the Han people in Ningyuan City as your slaves, I can also give it to you, as long as you do what I said, I will meet your request." ”

Xia Chengde knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "I will live up to the prince." ”

Dolgon helped Xia Chengde up, patted his hand and said, "Tonight, I will leave a gap for you to go back to Songshan Fort, be careful, Hong Chengchou is not an ordinary person." ”

Xia Chengde said a little proudly: "Don't bother the prince, we have a way to enter Songshan Fort." ”

Dolgon's eyes became sharp, and he looked at Xia Chengde and said, "Authentic? ”

Xia Chengde saw Dolgon's color change, and hurriedly said: "It's a canyon, and the last general has only recently discovered that it can barely pass through this canyon, but it is only limited to people, and horses can't pass." ”

Dolgon thought for a moment, then said to his entourage, "Go with General Xia." ”

Without waiting for his relatives to agree, Xia Chengde hurriedly said: "Let's go, it's not good to leave when it's dark." ”

While Dolgon was anxiously waiting for Xia Chengde's news, Hong Chengchou was also anxiously waiting for Xia Chengde.

Although Hong Chengchou believed that Wang Pu would not do such an angry thing, he also understood that these damn generals were used to playing with both sides of the bet, and they were no longer pure soldiers.

Even if Wang Pu will not betray Daming, it is difficult to say that he will not secretly make a stumbling block.

The horizontal ditch in front of Songshan Fort was finally filled in a hundred steps after half a day's efforts by the Mongol cavalry.

Although there were a lot of Mongolian cavalry killed in the battle, Jiannu didn't seem to care about it.

Wu Sangui saw that the horizontal ditch was damaged, and twice proposed to go out of the city to engage the Mongol cavalry and prevent them from filling the trench, but Hong Chengchou did not agree, but only ordered to kill the Mongols with heavy artillery fire, dense bullets, and feather arrows.

Looking at the corpses of the Mongols lying under the city, Hong Chengchou said to Wu Sangui: "Do you know? The purpose of Daming's war with Jiannu should not have been to focus on the gains and losses of one city and one place.

If a city could be exchanged for the lives of a thousand slaves, I would not hesitate to do so.

From Songshan Fort to Shanhaiguan, we have no less than a hundred such forts, so let's change them! ”

Wu Sangui frowned and said, "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid Jiannu won't give us a chance to break through." ”

Hong Chengchou laughed and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely give us a chance to break through." ”

Wu Sangui said: "Why? ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "They want to keep the artillery here more than to keep us." ”

Wu Sangui sighed and said, "We are not as important as these artillery. ”

Hong Chengchou looked at Wu Sangui and said with a smile: "Although the Guanning Iron Cavalry under your command is elite, these elites are already destined to slowly leave the battlefield, and the future war will be a world of steel and fire."

Uncle, the world has changed. ”

Wu Sangui took a long breath and said, "Because of Lantian Yunzhao? ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "He changed the way we fight. ”

Wu Sangui couldn't help but look towards the west, and said in a low voice: "I, Guan Ning, don't accept it. ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "You are also a young hero, so you are naturally a little arrogant, but I hope you will show all your wisdom and courage when facing Yun Zhao."

Many times, when we think that we are incomparably strong, in Yun Zhao's opinion, our strength is nothing more than a castle piled up on the beach, which is gently pushed by the sea and falls. ”

Wu Sangui said suspiciously: "Why does the commander respect this person so much, and let others lose his prestige?" ”

Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "After you meet this person, let's say such things again!" ”

Wu Sangui closed his eyes slightly and said, "I want to see it." ”

Hong Chengchou smiled but did not answer, and continued to watch the Mongolian cavalry throw a mound of earth under the city.

When besieging a city, there are not many strategies to use, whether it is the besieging side or the defending side.

For thousands of years, such wars have occurred tens of thousands of times, so that everyone knows what to do when facing this kind of war.

That's what happened.

Before Hong Chengchou did not reveal his flaws, Huang Taiji wanted to break through Songshan Fort, and the only choice was to fill it with his life.

Perhaps, only after this city has eaten enough flesh and blood will it be breached.

Perhaps, you will never be able to eat enough, and you will never be able to break through.

Who knows.

In short, the fighting continues, and from the point of view of the situation on the battlefield, it is extremely fair for both sides.

In the evening, Dorgon organized a siege, this time with his white bannermen, and these warriors in iron armor carried ladders for a tentative attack.

In the end, with the efforts of Yang Guozhu and Wu Sangui, this attack repelled the bannermen with the white flag.

Seeing that the people of Jianzhou were slowly retreating, Hong Chengchou glanced at the sunset on the horizon, and said to Wu Sangui and Yang Guozhu: "Let's start preparing, let's leave Songshan Fort." ”
