Chapter 953: Still Arrogant
Duoduo didn't expect that he would lead 10,000 cavalry with eight banners to fight, this 10,000 cavalry is composed of the white flag and the white flag cavalry in the eight banners, everyone in the Qing Dynasty knows that the white flag and the white flag in the eight banners are the most brave and good at fighting, and have made great achievements, which also makes the third Prince Rui The white flag owner Dolgon, the actual influence of Daishan and Jierharang, has an extraordinary authority among the Manchus.
When Duoduo led 10,000 of the most elite cavalry of the Eight Banners from Shenyang, Huang Taiji made a special instruction, asking Duoduo to see the opportunity to act, this time to Datong, not to fight with the Ming army, the main purpose is to loot money, and cause panic in Datong and Shanxi and other places, as for how to fight, and the length of the battle, it is up to Duoduo to decide.
In order to ensure the absolute command of Duoduo, the 10,000 cavalry sent this time, the highest officer was Niu Lu Ezhen, and the rest of the many county kings, Baylor and Beizi, etc., no one followed.
Huang Taiji knows Duoduo's temper, a little arrogant and arrogant, and he is brave in battle, but he also likes to act arbitrarily, and he will not restrain himself when he loses his temper for people he is not used to.
Before leaving, Dorgon went to find Dordor, and the two discussed for a full day.
The relationship between Duoduo and Dolgon is the best, and he admires Dolgon from the heart, many times the white flag and the inlaid white flag have fought together, Duoduo is resolutely obedient to Dorgon's command, of course, at that time, Dolgon's status is also significantly higher than Dorgon, when the Qing Dynasty was established, Huang Taiji canonized the four princes, Dolgon is one of them, Duoduo was canonized as the king of the county at that time, and later promoted to the prince because of his military exploits.
Dorgon and Dodor said something. It is impossible for outsiders to know.
After setting out from Shenyang, Duoduo instantly regained his keen and cruel character on the battlefield, he was very strict with his sergeants, and what he asked the sergeants to do, he did first, in terms of marching speed. Duoduo demanded to march more than 100 miles a day, and many times he was at the front of the line, and when the army was encamped and rested, Duoduo himself observed the movements around him to see if there was any danger.
The commander-in-chief took the lead, and the sergeants below had nothing to say, they marched with their heads bored, constantly adjusting and speeding up the march.
From Shenyang, it took only ten days. The 10,000 elite Eight Banner Army sergeants led by Duoduo came to the location of the front banner of Chahar's right flank.
The speed of the march along the way was very fast, and the scouts sent by Duoduo got in touch with the leader of the Chahar tribe, the leader of the Chahar tribe was the prince of Mongolia, who was also canonized as a prince by the Great Qing State, and his status was only under the prince of the Great Qing State, and he was loyal to the head of the Chahar tribe of the Great Qing State. Not only cover the Eight Banners Army in all directions, so that its whereabouts will not be exposed. He also sent 2,000 Mongol cavalry to support Duoduo's battle.
The Chahar tribe has long coveted the wealth of Datong, but if they are given a hundred dares, they don't dare to sneak attack Datong alone, they don't have that kind of strength, but now the situation is different, the Eight Banners Army is ready to sneak attack Datong, such a good opportunity. The Chahar tribe must not be missed, sending 2,000 tribes to support the Eight Banners Army, on the one hand, they can win the appreciation of the Great Qing State, and on the other hand, they can also loot more money, killing two birds with one stone. The Horde is definitely going to do it.
The Chahar tribe sent two thousand tribal cavalry to support the battle, Duoduo was of course happy, he was very protective of the 10,000 elite cavalry under his command, this 10,000 cavalry can be said to be the most elite cavalry of the Eight Banners and even the Qing Dynasty, since the heavy cavalry was wiped out by the Ming army, the light cavalry of the Eight Banners has once again become the main force of the battle, the strength of the Eight Banners is actually the comparison between the light cavalry, which banner of the cavalry is powerful, which banner of combat effectiveness is the strongest.
Since there are 2,000 cavalry from the Chahar tribe to support, Duoduo can ask these 2,000 cavalry to be the vanguard, so that these 2,000 cavalry can discover the danger, and the cavalry full of eight banners will naturally be able to avoid many dangers.
Of course, Duoduo can't go too far, if it is felt by the cavalry of the Chahar tribe, it will not be good, the status of the prince of the Mongolian tribe in the Great Qing Kingdom is not ordinary, and Huang Taiji also values it very much, if he angers the leaders and princes of these Mongolian tribes, Duoduo's life is also very difficult.
The grassland is vast, suitable for the rapid march of the cavalry, and the cavalry of the Chahar tribe is more familiar with the terrain and has always been at the front of the ranks, which is not a big deal, and they should also lead the way for the cavalry of the Eight Banners.
After 12,000 cavalry entered the front banner of Chahar's right flank, they quickly imposed martial law, and did not allow the merchants to continue trading, lest the whereabouts of the army be exposed.
By the time he arrived at the front banner of Chahar's right flank, Dodor had already determined a specific battle plan and deployment in his mind.
Leading 10,000 of the most elite cavalry to fight, this is the first time, in terms of the speed of the march and the execution of orders, Duoduo felt joy, his order does not need to be said a second time, after the order is given, all the sergeants can accurately carry it out, every time they set up camp in a place, in addition to the sergeant in charge of the guard, there is also one person in each tent to observe the movement outside, this task is carried out in turns, everyone sleeps a little less, to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
To lead such a strong sergeant into battle, any commander is happy.
Dodor would not forget Dorgon's request, and he knew the weight of his responsibility.
Among the Manchu nobles, Duoduo has always been restless, he is the youngest prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, two years younger than his brother Rui Prince Dolgon, and five years younger than Prince Su Haoge, when the Great Qing Kingdom was established, he was canonized as the county king, and five years later he was promoted to the prince, and his elder brother Azig, who was nine years older than him, was canonized as the king of Wuying County when the Great Qing Kingdom was established, and now he is still the county king, which shows that Duoduo is indeed capable.
Capable people are always a little arrogant, including Dorgon, but Dolgon has experienced a lot of things and suffered more tribulations, and is much more stable than Dordor.
Dolgon, Duoduo, and Azig are brothers of the same father and mother, and now they have formed an alliance and have a pivotal position in the Great Qing Kingdom, which makes people feel strange that Huang Taiji does not seem to care about this.
This makes people a little incomprehensible, Dai Shan, one of the four former Baylors, because of the unprecedented power of his family, suffered a lot of suppression from Huang Taiji, until Dai Shan's two sons died, and the second son Shuo Tuo and grandson Adali were imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, and Huang Taiji did not continue to suppress Dai Shan.
Therefore, Dolgon and Duo could not afford to be careless about this expedition.
Dolgon repeatedly instructed Duoduo not to rush forward, even if he could not complete the task of the battle, he must first save his life, as long as he can return to Shenyang, everything is easy to say, after all, the Ming army is extremely brave, and the Eight Banners Army is entering the pass to fight, if it is not a last resort, Huang Taiji will not make such arrangements.
In Dorgon's words, there was also a faint reminder to Duoduo that Huang Taiji was already old, and a fifty-five-year-old person was not in very good health, and he didn't know how long he could last.
These words meant a lot, but unfortunately Dodor didn't particularly understand them.
After arriving at the front banner of Chahar's right flank, Dord's fighting spirit had become very high.
The scouts he sent had already entered Fengzhen and even Datong to investigate, and the news he brought back was that everything was safe, and there was nothing unusual about Fengzhen and Datong, obviously not knowing that the Eight Banners Army had come to the front banner of Chahar's right flank and was preparing to attack Datong Fucheng.
Datong is close to 700 miles away from Taiyuan, Shanxi, and is even farther away from Xi'an and Daming capital, the Ming army stationed here is only a thousand people, and it is by no means the opponent of the 10,000 Eight Banner Army, and Datong Mansion City is an important place for merchants, and the city gate is wide open on weekdays, as long as the Eight Banners Army moves quickly, there is no problem in taking Datong Mansion City.
Once the Eight Banners Army took Datongfu City, even if the Ming army came to help, there might not be good fruits to eat.
With the collection of a lot of information, Duoduo has forgotten Dorgon's entrustment to the clouds, as a Manchurian, as the prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, commanding the most elite Manchurian Eight Banner soldiers to fight, if he can't get a huge victory, it is something that Duoduo can't bear, and it is also the most humiliating thing that Duoduo thinks.
It is also under the impetus of this kind of thinking that Duoduo made clear the combat goal, and all 12,000 cavalry were dispatched, first to occupy Fengzhen, and then to Datong Mansion City at the fastest speed, and to take Datong Mansion City with lightning speed, and then it depends on the situation of the Ming army rushing to help, during which the Eight Banners Army will loot in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Datong Mansion and rob as much money as possible.
The order issued by Duoduo is also clear, this time when entering the pass to plunder, you must not be soft, go anywhere, the goal is money, to burn all the cities that have been breached, kill all the people, and rob everything.
Duoduo believed that doing so would be the heaviest blow to the Ming court.
Duoduo has sent a sergeant to contact the leader of the Chahar tribe, once the Eight Banners Army takes the city of Datongfu, the Chahar tribe will send a part of the people to help transport a lot of money and grain, and in return, half of this money and grain will be given to the Chahar tribe.
This is a good job for Duoduo, and without great benefits, even the Chahar tribe will not support it.
After the battle plan was determined, Duoduo's face showed a cruel smile, he felt that the time for revenge had come, he was defeated by the Zheng family army in southern Liaoning a few years ago, that defeat was unforgettable, it can never be forgotten, and the losses of the Eight Banners Army were also heavy that time, and now there is a chance to enter the customs and loot, so that the Ming court will feel unbearable pain.
The arrogant Duoduo reappeared. (To be continued.) )
