Text Chapter 1135 The Long and Narrow Battalion
Kakai came to see Dolgon with two hundred defeated soldiers, and he dismounted from a distance, wiping his tears and crying: "Uncle Regent, ...... Emperor"
Although Dolgon learned from the mouth of the ranger that the Mongol cavalry suffered heavy casualties, he did not expect that Kakai would only return with 200 remnants, and how long did it take for the Mongol cavalry to be defeated and retreat? He frowned, "Without this king's military order, why did you withdraw your troops without permission?" ”
Kakai snorted and cried, "Uncle Huang, Lord Regent, if it weren't for the withdrawal of troops, the warriors would ...... The warriors are running out......"
Dolgon glanced at it, but didn't see Zhumala, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "What about Zhumala?" ”
"Zhumala has been killed in battle...... The white flag was wiped out...... The villain's white flag, that's all these soldiers left......"
"What?" Dolgon could hardly believe his ears, and only 200 cavalry were left in the white flag, which could be regarded as completely annihilated by the Mandate of Heaven.
"Uncle Regent...... The villain is guilty......"
"Guilty? You have lost so many cavalry, just convicted? Dolgon's whip swept out, and he had a face, "You shit!"
The whip swept slightly on Kakai's right arm, just touching the wound, causing him to scream in pain, his body was weak, like a domestic dog that had been kicked away, rolling on the ground, and prostrate in front of Dolgon, "Uncle Regent, Han Dog's firearm......
"Firearms?" Dolgon picked up his horsewhip and was stopped by Azig, "Uncle Regent, let Kakai finish speaking!"
Dorgon put down his horsewhip and said angrily, "Why don't you say it soon? ”
With tears in his eyes, Kakai described the battlefield situation he knew, and the tragic situation after the casualties of the warriors was deliberately exaggerated, "Uncle Regent, you want to avenge the warriors......
"The matter of revenge, this king will consider it," Dolgon saw blood oozing from Kakai's right arm, and knew that he was also injured, and snorted coldly, "You go back to heal your wounds first." ”
"Villain, thank you Uncle Regent!" Kakai wiped the blood from his face that had been drawn by Dorgon, and with the support of his guards, he limped and left in an exaggerated manner.
Azig took two steps closer to Dolgon, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, only a look of surprise.
Dolgon knew his thoughts, the Heavenly Mandate Army on the Erdaopo was the third battalion of the Heavenly Mandate Army in Ningyuan City last time, they had rifles in their hands, there was no need to make a fuss, he turned Azig white, and said loudly: "Everyone, what do you think?" ”
Man Dahai was young and vigorous, and he had never seen the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army, so he arched his hand and said: "Uncle Huang, the regent, the infantry of the Heavenly Mandate Army is only 3,000, if you let your subordinates lead the troops to fight............" He was originally very confident, but when he thought that the Mongolian Zhengbai and Mosaic White two cavalry were wiped out, he changed his words and said: "If you let the minister's Zhenghong Banner fight, you will definitely be able to break the formation of the Heavenly Mandate Army in one go."
Luo Luohun and Ah Shan also said: "The ministers are willing to fight, cut off the heads of the Han dogs and feed them to the dogs, and avenge the warriors of the Mongolian banner." ”
Dorgon looked at Azig and Abatay, "You think the same way?" ”
The two of them arched their hands together and said, "It's all up to the emperor's uncle and the regent!"
Dolgon nodded, shook his head again, and said: "This king and Li Xin agreed that each side will send 3,000 men and horses to fight, and now that the two wastes of Zhumala and Kakai have been defeated, can this king break his promise and lose his trust in front of Li Xin?" ”
Luo Luohun and Ah Shan both lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word, but Man Dahai muttered in a low voice, "What kind of credit ...... to talk to Han dogs?"
"Nonsense!" Dolgon shouted: "No matter who Li Xin is, this king has the credibility of this king, how can it be changed because of the difference in opponents? Besides, Li Xin only sent 3,000 soldiers, not even a cavalry to escort him, could this king lose his bearing? ”
Man Dahai hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Uncle Huang, the regent is right!"
Only then did Dolgon's face soften, "Go, go back, discuss matters in the big tent!" He also said to Irogen beside him: "Inform Scholar Fan, Mr. Ning, and General Zu to also participate in the discussion." ”
"Yes!"
The Manchu cavalry had a gust of wind, coming and going in a hurry, and retreated cleanly in an instant, leaving only the rangers to watch the Heavenly Mandate Army clean up the battlefield from afar.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Dolgon sat in the middle, Azig, Mandahai, Luo Luohun, Abatai, Ashan, plus Fan Wenchen, Ning Wanme, and Zu Dashou, all gathered around Dolgon, but they didn't even dare to come out.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were flickering, Dolgon sighed secretly, and said, "Everyone, you are the example of the military generals of the Qing Dynasty, and now Li Xin refuses to retreat at Erdaopo, what good plan do you have?" ”
Man Dahai is temporarily on behalf of the good to send troops, even the identity of the owner of the red flag is temporary, after returning to Beijing, but also to return to Dai Shan, he most hopes to make meritorious service, so he said: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle." ”
"Beggest?" Dolgon said coldly: "The cavalry of the Red Banner, except that the number of people is more than the two Mongolian banners, how much stronger is the combat effectiveness?" Can the armor of the warriors withstand the firearms of the Manifest Destiny Army? He had seen the firearms of the Mandate of Heaven twice, and knew that the power and range of this firearm far exceeded the bows and arrows of the Qing cavalry, and it was difficult to get close to the frontal attack.
......Although Man Dahai has always been unable to shout at the Han people, in Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty, they are all wrapped up in slaves, but today the two banners of Mongolia were completely annihilated by the Mandate of Heaven Army, and he did not dare to say too much, in case he could not completely annihilate the Mandate of Heaven Army to fight, he would become the laughing stock of others in the future.
Dolgon glanced at everyone, and his gaze fell on Fan Wenchen, "What is Scholar Fan's opinion?" ”
Fan Wenchen shook his wide sleeves and said slowly: "The minister looked at the map of the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army brought back by the rangers, pondered all night, and had an idea in his heart, but he didn't know ......."
Man Dahai was deflated in front of Dolgon, his heart was very unhappy, he didn't dare to offend Dolgon openly, so he could only put his anger on Fan Wenchen's head, and shouted coldly: "At the moment of the great enemy, what does Scholar Fan have in mind, don't you say it quickly, what is it?" He scolded in his heart: I really can't change the character of the Han dog!
Dolgon's face barely squeezed out a smile, "If Scholar Fan has any good ideas, let's talk about it quickly, this king can't wait!"
"Yes!" Fan Wenchen cleared his throat and said, "Steal the camp!"
Ning Wan gave me a roll of the eyes, "The camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army is very stable, Li Xinchang is good at strategy, and he became the commander of the third battalion of the Heavenly Mandate Army at a young age, how can he not guard against others to steal the camp?" He bowed his hand to Dolgon, and said, "According to the villain, it is better to send a cavalry to cut off the grain route, as long as the grain is burned, the army of the Mandate of Heaven will be in chaos!"
Dolgon frowned, "How could Li Xin not send heavy troops to protect the food he relied on for survival?" ”
Ning Wan said: "The Qing cavalry comes and goes like the wind, how can Li Xin fortify everywhere?" Even if they sent heavy troops to guard the food, they also forced Li Xin to divide his troops and reduce his combat effectiveness. ”
Fan Wenchen smiled coldly and said, "Mr. Ning knows where the grain of the Heavenly Mandate Army is stored?" ”
"This ......" Ning finished my speech for a while, but he was unwilling to admit defeat in front of Fan Wenchen, thought for a while, and said: "As long as you send enough rangers, you can always find out where the food of the Heavenly Mandate Army is." ”
Dolgon gradually accepted Huang Taiji's idea, he trusted Fan Wenchen more, and said: "The matter of burning grain and grass will be discussed later, just now Scholar Fan's words have not yet been finished, how to steal the camp?" ”
Fan Wenchen smiled, stroked the long beard under his chin and said: "The Heavenly Mandate Army is camped, and it was originally impossible to steal the camp," after a pause, attracting everyone's attention, Fang said: "But the second slope is two small hillsides, and there is an open space in the middle, Li Xin in order to seize the commanding heights and gain an advantage in the terrain, the large camp occupies two small slopes on the left and right, so that the large camp will be stretched too long......"
Dorgon understood, "What does Scholar Fan mean, the camp of the Mandate of Heaven is too long and narrow, and we can steal the camp from the middle?" ”
"Uncle Huang's regent Mingjian!" Fan Wenchen glanced at me after finishing Ning, and then he arched his hand and said: "The cavalry of the Heavenly Mandate Army is camped on the left and right sides in front of the camp, if there is a banner of cavalry stealing the camp from the rear, fighting with some casualties, it can also turn the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army upside down......"
Zu Dashou hurriedly spoke: "With the military experience of his subordinates, once the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army is attacked by the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers will definitely panic, and if there is another army at this time, it will be the biggest gain if it enters from the front!"
Dolgon secretly rejoiced, in this way, the third battalion of the Mandate of Heaven Army must have suffered heavy casualties, even if the entire army is wiped out, it is not impossible, it is still good for the Han people, such a conspiracy can be imagined, no wonder when Huang Taiji was alive, he relied on Fan Wenchen and these Han people!
He looked at Fan Wenchen with a smile, nodded slightly to show gratitude and trust, and then his face turned pale, and said: "The Heavenly Mandate Army wins today, it will definitely get carried away, this king will make Li Xin happy for a day, tonight take advantage of the night, let the warriors bypass from both sides of the camp of the Mandate of Heaven, hide in the valleys on both sides, after dark tomorrow night, raid from the rear of the camp, don't worry about casualties, as long as the Mandate of Heaven Army is broken, after returning to Beijing, this king will provoke warriors from other banners to supplement," his eyes swept over everyone's faces, "Who wants to go to steal the camp and make meritorious contributions to the Qing Dynasty?" ”
Man Dahai and Luo Luohun hurriedly got up and said, "The ministers are willing to lead the troops to steal the camp!"
Dolgon nodded with a smile and said, "Mandahai is leading the red flag, sneaking up on Li Xin's camp from the rear, and Luo Luohun's red flag is answered from the front." ”
"Yes!"
Dolgon glanced at Man Dahai and said, "After lunch, let the warrior gate have a good rest, have a full meal after dark, and then bring enough dried meat and water, take advantage of the night to touch the rear of the Heavenly Mandate Army, hide for a day, and launch a surprise attack tomorrow night!"
"Yes, Uncle Regent!"
"Luo Luohun's inlaid white flag, you must also be prepared," Dolgon thought for a while, and said: "The time when you leave the camp is half an hour later than the Zhenghong Banner, when you hear the shouts of killing in front of you, immediately enter the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army from the front, and chase and kill the remnants of the Heavenly Mandate Army!"
"Your Majesty obeys!"
