In Yaozhouyi, Dolgon had already led the army to arrive, and together with Duoduo, Yuetuo, Haoge and other slave chieftains, they surrounded Yaozhouyi.

When the two armies met, these slave chieftains were all beaming, while the other captives cheered happily. It can be said that in this land of Liaodong, it is rare that there is a time when the cheers of Jianyu are so loud! In other words, the morale of Jianyu has risen to the highest level in recent years!

Dolgon looked at the banner of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom fluttering in the Yaozhou Station, and sighed with relief: "This time, I finally caught a big fish. If we win this battle, we should be able to turn over! ”

"Thanks to the Regent's strategy, we are in this great situation!" When Duoduo heard this, he praised it without any burden.

If Dolgon is good for him, then he will be good too.

Yue Tuo and Hao Ge heard what he said, if it were changed to before, they would have been sarcastic and ruined, but at this time, the two of them didn't mean this, they both stared at the Ming army in Yaozhou Yi with a smile, and their eyes were like hunters looking at the prey in the cage.

Dolgon watched the two of them react, and knew it in his heart. Only by taking the Qing Dynasty to win battles continuously, can you subdue them all, no matter what you want to do in the future, as long as you win enough battles and big enough, no one can oppose you.

Thinking so, he retracted his thoughts, turned his head and said to a few Qing princes beside him: "This king has just seen that the fortifications besieging Yaozhou Post are not enough. Don't be afraid of trouble, just like when you surrounded Dalinghe City in the past, there must be walls and moats, and go around Yaozhouyi. One circle is not enough, just two circles, and we have to ensure that no matter what method the Ming army uses, it will be in vain. lest the Ming army dog jump under the wall in a hurry and be escaped by the Ming Emperor! ”

When Chongzhen was in the fourth year, Jianyu attacked, and Zu Dashou defended Dalinghe City. At that time, although Huang Taiji had the conditions for a strong attack, he did not use this method, but used the method of siege. Four trenches were dug around the city, and a wall more than one zhang high was built, and the Dalinghe City was surrounded like an iron bucket, and finally forced Zu Dashou to surrender for the first time, and He Kegang was also killed by Zu Dashou in this battle.

And today's Yaozhou Station is not big. Although the Ming army expanded the defense line with partial vans and the like, no matter how it was, it could not be bigger than the original Dalinghe City. With this trick, not only is he familiar with the road, but Dolgon believes that this is to deal with the Ming army with strong strength, and it can ensure that the Ming army in Yaozhouyi will not even want to escape!

Hearing his words, several other people nodded, this is the safest.

So, the job was immediately assigned.

I didn't say it, this kind of physical work used to be done by Han people. However, the Han coats on the side of the Qing Dynasty were never replenished after they were plundered from the Guannei at the beginning of the twelfth year of Chongzhen. Today's Han people are even more able to escape and die, and most of the remaining ones were asked by Kong Youde to go to the Qing Dynasty to open up wasteland and farm.

Therefore, this manual work is now done by the Mongols and people of other tribes. As for the Manchurians, they were the most powerful, so they naturally guarded against the Ming army in Yaozhou Yili when the situation was not good, and they jumped over the wall in a hurry while the siege was not yet complete.

However, Jianyu is obviously overthinking.

Emperor Chongzhen, surrounded by many generals and supervisors, was at the head of Yaozhou City, drinking tea, watching the Jianyu outside the city busy, and did not have the slightest worry or fear. Those who don't know think that he is an overseer, staring at the construction outside the city and working!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was not worried or afraid, but this formation of Jianyu made many generals feel bottomless. This kind of worry is the most important in He Renlong and Cao Bianjiao, who were in Liaodong the year before.

After looking at it for a while, He Renlong tried to play to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, could it be that there are still reinforcements coming?" ”

If reinforcements are coming, it is also a good strategy to defeat Jianyu by attacking from inside and outside. This is He Renlong's idea.

However, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head with a smile and said, "There is no extra grain and grass materials, and I can't send troops here." ”

"......" When He Renlong heard this, he was immediately stupid, so what should I do now?

Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao thought of the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, so he hurriedly played: "Your Majesty has other arrangements?" ”

"Hmm!" Emperor Chongzhen listened, nodded, and snorted.

The other generals, although based on their trust in the emperor, did not have other ideas. However, in this case, I am a little curious after all, I don't know what method the emperor is going to come up with to defeat so many Jianyu?

Emperor Chongzhen looked at their expressions, understood what they were thinking, and thought that they were surrounded by his henchmen, and he was not afraid of leaking secrets when he said it, so he immediately smiled and said, "It's time to tell Zhuqing." ”

As soon as they heard this, whether it was these general soldiers, including the surrounding supervisors, the captains of the Jinyi Guard, etc., almost everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what the emperor had in mind?

When Emperor Chongzhen arranged for Wu Sangui to carry out the task of rescue and troublemaking, he naturally wanted to reward him with a Grade A eavesdropping seed. At this time, he had already learned about the situation on Wu Sangui's side through eavesdropping seeds.

Under the expectation of everyone, they heard Emperor Chongzhen say: "I have sent Wu Sangui of the Beijing camp to lead a cavalry army of more than 3,500 cavalry, and rushed thousands of miles to attack the granary built in the Liaohe Plain, and joined Kong Youde to fight Tieling together and threaten Shenyang. If what I expected is right, it is estimated that in a few days, Jianyu's side will get an urgent report from Shenyang! ”

Speaking of this, regardless of the surprise of many generals, he pointed to the Jianyu outside the city with his hand and said: "If this Jianjun wants to besiege Yaozhouyi, it must first have enough food. Wait a minute, the number of prisoners is more than twice as large as our army, and this has become their Achilles' heel. Originally, the slave chief thought that Kong Youde could support some of the grain after the harvest, and the rest of the grain would be used for the winter. But now it's gone......"

The matter that Kong Youde has returned to the Ming Dynasty is only known to Lu Xiangsheng and Emperor Chongzhen, so as soon as they heard that Kong Youde was the internal response, and Jianyu had gathered so many troops in Yaozhouyi, the emptiness of the hinterland of Liaodong could be imagined, and suddenly, they were all overjoyed, the emperor This is a desperate plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle! Jianyu didn't know about the trick yet, he was still complacent, the level of this leading soldier was not at the same level at all, how could he fight?

They thought so, but Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Look at it again, among the Jianyu army outside the city, the morale of the Mongols is obviously lower than that of Jianyu. After the news came from Shenyang, even if the slave chieftain gritted his teeth and insisted, those Mongols would definitely know that Jianyu was going to be finished, and they would definitely not follow him again. If only the Jurchens were left in the army outside the city, how many could there be? ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked around at them again, smiled slightly, and said, "The road ahead, I have already paved the way for Qing and the others. I don't force this battle to destroy Jianlu, but at least I want to see that Jianlu's corpse can be done from Yaozhouyi to Haizhou? ”

At this time, the generals suddenly realized again. It turned out that the intention of the emperor's leading army to withdraw to Yaozhou Station was to calmly cover up and kill the Jianyu infantry army when he was waiting for Jianlu to retreat, and stage the previous chase again!

This time, the emperor's strategy, there are internal responses, there are regular soldiers, there are strange soldiers, there are advances and retreats, and he has dug a big pit there and waited for Jianyu, which can be said to be completely leading Jianyu's nose! Standing in Jianyu's shoes and thinking about it, everyone around him found that they couldn't cope with these serial tricks at all.

Thinking of these, everyone couldn't help but be convinced by Emperor Chongzhen again! Because of this, they are all looking forward to the moment of despair that will come soon.

Of course, at this time, Jianyu thought that their life had reached its peak.

Originally, Yue Tuo, Hauge, and Duoduo's subordinates had already dug trenches and the like, but this time it was easier to do it again, just connect the previous trenches.

The leader of Jianyu was constantly cheering up his subordinates: "If you dig more wide, you will have less hope of the Ming army escaping!" ”

"Dig deeper, and there will be one more Ming army to be destroyed!"

"Dig one more ditch, and the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom will be the turtle in the urn!"

“……”

Listening to such a slogan, not to mention, the motivation is indeed enough. At least at this time, the morale of the people up and down is very high.

However, there are also concerns.

No, when a few slave chiefs returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, Yue Tuo first said to Dolgon: "There is not enough grain and grass in our army, and we need to allocate some!" ”

"I have three days left on my side, but now they have all gone to dig a trench, and it is estimated that they can only support it for one day!" When Hauge heard this, he immediately shouted.

When Dordor heard this, he just said briefly, "It can last for four days!" ”

Of the three, he lost the infantry army, so he had the least mouth to eat, and a little more food left.

When Dorgon heard this, he frowned. However, before he could speak, Yue Tuo added: "Now that it is autumn, if there is no refined grain to feed, the war horse is estimated to lose a lot!" ”

When Dorgon heard this, his head hurt again. However, now is the right time, and he must not give up halfway, so he immediately replied: "This king has brought some, and after a cent, it should be able to support it for ten days." As for the horse material, there shouldn't be too many war horses in this battle, if not, just concentrate on the elite cavalry, and other war horses, killing them can also make the Qing soldiers eat a meal. ”

The grain and grass brought are difficult to guarantee even for ten days, which is an absolute disaster for a large army. The war horse could not be saved, which was also expected by them. After all, the cost of raising horses is too high.

"Ten days, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?" After Yue Tuo was silent for a moment, he said with a serious face, "Don't wait until the Ming army's grain and grass are exhausted, and the soldiers of our army will start to go hungry!" ”

When Hauge heard this, he opened his mouth and said with a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Hehe, if you really want to do this, you will be laughed at by Minggou to death!" ”

Dolgon looked at the two of them, stretched out his hand and waved it, signaling them not to worry, and said to them, "Azig has arrived in Haizhou, and he can bring some food with him." In addition, this king has already explained that after the harvest from the king of Gongshun, he will immediately bring grain over. If there is not enough food, let him transport it again, no matter what, you must hold on until the end of this war! ”

The Liaohe Plain is the granary of the Qing Dynasty, and at least half of the grain of the Qing Dynasty will be produced from there, which is known to several people present.

Therefore, after Dolgon finished speaking, Yue Tuo immediately said: "Presumably, it has been harvested by this time, and it will take time to transport it, so you should send someone to urge it!" ”

Dolgon listened, nodded and said, "This is natural, this king will immediately send someone to urge!" ”

Immediately after that, send a messenger.

After this was done, Duoduo spoke: "After the fortifications besieging the Ming army are completed, we can reduce the food supply of some of the soldiers, so that we can hold out for some days!" ”

This can be regarded as a solution, Dolgon nodded and said: "As soon as the siege is complete, this king will inspect the soldiers, and some soldiers who are not suitable for war will let them go back first, leaving only enough elites to deal with the Ming army." In this way, some food can also be saved. ”

After saying this, he suddenly raised his voice and said with a smile: "No matter what, I, the Qing Dynasty, must work together to win this war and win the future of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Hearing this, I thought that the situation was very favorable now, and several slave chiefs were a lot more relaxed together.

So, they discussed the details of this battle, for example, when will the Ming army break through, is it waiting for the night or when? Where there are defensive holes, where to strengthen defenses, etc.

However, it was clear that Jianyu had wasted his efforts. The strengthening of the defense at night turned out to be a night without incident, and the Ming army showed no signs of breaking through at all.

This made Dolgon feel a little worried, because this situation was really a bit abnormal.

After confirming that the Tanma had dispersed within a radius of a hundred miles, and that no Ming reinforcements had arrived, Dolgon breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the Ming army in the direction of Yaozhouyi, he couldn't help but think of the most humiliating battle of his life: the Battle of Tashan.

In that battle, he was surrounded by the Ming Emperor's troops. At that time, his idea was to break through the siege as soon as possible, but he was ambushed by the Ming army.

Before, he thought there was a mole. However, in any case, no mole can be found. He was thinking about whether it was just calculated by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom should also be deeply impressed by the Battle of Tashan, and he probably thought that if he broke through immediately, his side would be prepared to make him unable to break through. Therefore, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom instead stood still first, pretending that he would not break through, and waited until his side of the defense was lax, and then suddenly began to break through?

Dolgon thought so, and felt that it was possible.

However, I don't know why, facing the Ming Emperor in Yaozhou Station, he always felt a little uneasy.

Before I could figure out what was uneasy, I heard a movement coming.
