Chapter 677: Dolgon's Strategy
Qing Bing watched the other party swim faster and faster, and soon swam out of the range of the bow and arrow, but he couldn't swim, so he had no choice but to beat his chest.
Tak Tan reacted quickly, he saw the black muzzle on the side of the big ship opposite, shivered, and shouted: "I'm afraid they are going to fire again, hurry up!" ”
Only then did the Qing soldiers come back to their senses, and the opposing infantry escaped by the sea, without worry, but they were afraid that the cannon would open fire again, so they hurriedly ran to the shore. The soldiers set up Hauge, who had fallen to the ground with his wounds, and walked in the front under the cover of a group of bayalas.
Just as Taktan had expected, the guns on the big ship opened fire again. There was no concern about accidental injury, and this time it was directly replaced with a flowering bomb.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The overwhelming shells smashed and exploded on the beach, and the air waves tossed the crowd to the ground, shrapnel flew in all directions, and the Qing army was blown up to the point of howling wolves. Compared with solid bullets, flowering bullets have a stronger psychological deterrent and completely destroy the Qing army's will to fight.
Amid the roar of artillery, the Qing army withdrew from the battlefield in disarray, leaving mutilated corpses on the beach. In the first battle on the coast of Jinzhou, the Qing army killed more than 1,000 people and injured countless people, and the main general Haoge was seriously injured.
On the "Shandong", Murong Longcheng said to Bolhu: "Good brother, you did a good job, I will ask the general for credit for you when I go back." ”
"Thank you, master." Bol ignored and replied regretfully, "It's a pity that our casualties are not light, although we haven't counted them yet, there are three or five hundred casualties, and we can't fight them in a short time." ”
"It's okay, this battle has made the prestige of the Qiong Marine Corps, so that Haoge and the others also know that we are not easy to mess with whether we are on land or at sea, and the task of recovering southern Liaoning cannot be easily completed, so our goal of holding them back will be achieved." Murong Longcheng comforted him, "The army of Zhenglan Banner is at least tens of thousands, and it is estimated that there are about seven or eight thousand people who will go out of the city to pursue you this time, and it is already very good to be able to achieve such a result and retreat with all your body." ”
"So what do we do next?"
Murong Longcheng looked in the direction of Jinzhou from afar, and said firmly: "As long as our fleet is still cruising around southern Liaoning, neither Haoge nor Dolgon will dare to withdraw to Liaodong. Separate some ships to send the wounded soldiers back to Dengzhou for recuperation, replenish them by the way, and then rotate them, as long as more than half of the ships are in Jinzhou and Lushun. ”
A few days later, Dolgon's army of the White Banner arrived at Golden State and entered the city.
Passing on news from scouts to and fro, Dorgon learned of Hauge's defeat before he even arrived in Golden State. Dorgon's feelings about this were mixed: on the one hand, he was happy to see Hauge's defeat come to fruition; On the other hand, as a member of the power class of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty produced such a strong army, which he did not want to see. With this in mind, he came to visit Hauge, who was on his sickbed at the Golden State Health Office, which served as a temporary command body.
To Dolgon's surprise, Hauge, who had been flying and domineering in the past, looked extremely weak at this time, and the severe wound on his shoulder left his face bloodless and his expression very decadent. It is estimated that the psychological frustration brought to him by this battle is more serious than the physical trauma.
Dolgon concealed his true thoughts and asked with a concerned face, "How is Prince Su's injury?" If it's serious, I'll send someone to send you back to Shengjing, after all, this place lacks medical care and medicine, which is not conducive to the recovery of injuries, if you have something to do with three long and two short, how can I explain to the emperor? ”
Haoge replied stiffly: "With the concern of Uncle Lao, this king can still stand up, and he has not completed the things assigned by Huang Amma, so he does not dare to return without authorization." ”
Looking at the thick white cloth wrapped around the other party's shoulder, Dolgon sneered in his heart: Just hold it hard, see how long you can hold it? I'm afraid that I'm worried that I will be scolded when I go back after defeat, but the credit here will be swallowed by me alone, right?
Thinking so in his heart, he said: "Prince Su should not be careless, the Ming army's bird gun lead is poisonous, and gunshot wounds are more difficult to heal than ordinary sword wounds, and it would be bad if there were any hidden dangers left." ”
Hauge was shocked, he knew that this lead was poisonous, although the lead was picked out in time after the war, who knows if it was cleaned up? But in the face of Dorgon, he did not want to show weakness, and said stubbornly: "It's okay, this king has a hard body, and a small gunshot wound is not a problem." ”
Seeing that he insisted, Dolgon no longer persuaded him, anyway, what he should have said had already been said, and whether he was dead or alive later had nothing to do with him. changed the topic at the moment: "I heard that this Ming army is very tricky, unlike any army that the Qing Dynasty has ever encountered, Prince Su personally went into battle, what is your opinion?" ”
Speaking of this opponent, Haoge gritted his teeth: "This Ming army is not three-headed and six-armed, it is skilled in arches and horses, it is not as good as my elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, compared to the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang Qijia army back then, it is also between the two middlemen." However, in addition to their sharp firearms, they are equipped with hard short blades at the mouth, which can be used for long-range attacks and close combat, which can be regarded as a combination of the advantages of the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers, and they have to pay large casualties to deal with them. The most important thing in this battle was that they chose to fight against our army on the seashore, relying on the artillery of the big ships at sea, and wounded many of our warriors, which could not be restrained. Then he recounted the battle of the day in detail.
After hearing this, Dolgon frowned and said, "Relying on large ships at sea, such a tactic can only be used occasionally, but it is not to be feared. I'm afraid that the artillery used by their main field forces is no less than that of warships, and this is troublesome. I heard that Azig and Abatai also met them, and suffered a big defeat outside the capital of the Ming Kingdom. ”
Thinking of the defeat of Azig and Abatai, Hauge was a little more balanced and breathed a lot easier. He asked: "Now that this Ming army has retreated to the sea, we can't hit them, we can't expel them, as long as the army withdraws, they will go back from the sea again, aren't we being dragged here?" How to deal with them, does Uncle Fourteen have a good plan? Although there is a lot of slander against Dolgon, Hauge can't deny that the other party's mind is more brilliant than his own, and if he wants to successfully expel or even exterminate this Ming army that relies on warships to come and go like the wind, he can only rely on this fourteenth uncle for now.
Dolgon smiled: "The Han people's Sun Tzu's Art of War has a plan, called Wei Wei to save Zhao. At the moment we are helpless against the warships at sea, but I have sent people to find out that there are their men stationed at the mouth of Arthur, which is therefore the key point connecting Phi Dao and Shandong. As long as we attack Lushunkou with all our might, and the enemy will be saved, we are expected to lead these Ming troops ashore, and when the time comes, we will set up an ambush and gather to annihilate ......"
Haoge was ashamed: "It turns out that Uncle Fourteen has already had a belly case, admire and admire." I can't help but sigh in my heart: whether this strategy can succeed or not, at least it is the best way at present, no wonder this fourteenth uncle has been suppressed by Huang Ama for so many years, not only has he not collapsed, but his power is getting stronger and stronger, and he still has two brushes.
