Chapter 1012: Zhending Mansion
Beijing City, the current Dolgon has even lost his hair, he didn't expect that his right-hand man Azig was shot by Zhu Jie, and he was killed directly on the battlefield, without Azig's East Route Army, the tree fell and scattered, even Tan Tai is a generation of famous generals, even if Wu Sangui is resourceful, the two of them can't contain the decline of the Qing army, under the pressure of the Ming army step by step, it only took less than ten days to be completely defeated by Zhu Jie.
Dolgon regretted it very much, if his order to the Eastern Route Army to hurry up the siege of Huai'an Mansion and march towards Nanjing City was issued a day or two in the evening, maybe there would not be such a huge crisis in front of him, it was precisely because Tan Tai and Wu Sangui received their own will that they began to become uncertain, without their own will, where would the two of them dare to withdraw their troops privately?
It's only three days, which is the time of these three days, which has brought a catastrophe to the Eastern Route Army!
The Western Route Army has fallen, and now the Eastern Route Army has fallen, when the Manchurian army was at its strongest, it was close to 300,000 people, and now, there are only about 100,000 people, such a little force, in the face of the Tianwei Army, are a little powerless, not to mention that the Ming Army now has the three towns of Nanjing and the Beijing Army, the most speechless is Zheng Zhilong, he has high hopes for Zheng Zhilong, hoping that it can complete the situation of containing the Ming Army and attacking Nanjing with Azig, I didn't expect that the unlucky Zheng Zhilong was beaten by the Beijing camp in Xianxialing first, and then the mouse moved the knife in the nest, and was killed by his son and brother.
What is this called?
Zheng Zhilong's generation of heroes, sitting on Fuzhou Town and Fujian Sailors, is strong, I didn't expect it to disappear so soon, it is really impermanent.
Now Dolgon's only hope is Mongolia, hoping to borrow a large army from Mongolia to help him, without the support of Mongolia, I am afraid that he may not even be able to defend the city of Beijing, and even be driven out of Shanhaiguan by the Ming army.
Dolgon gritted his teeth, picked up a red pen and wrote a secret letter, handed it to the eunuch on the side, and said in a low voice: "Immediately send someone to send the letter to Prince Yu and tell him that within half a month, if he still can't get the news of the Mongol southward Zhili, let him give up the Daimyo Mansion on his own, break through in the direction of the capital, retreat to Baoding and Zhuozhou, no need to fight, and preserve his strength!" ”
The eunuch hurriedly ran down.
Dolgon pinned his hopes on the Mongolian tribes, and the Mongolian tribes were not fuel-efficient lamps, since ancient times, they were the icing on the cake, and there were few charcoal in the snow, and now it was not the time when the Qing army had just entered the customs, at that time, Dolgon was in high spirits, and the Manchurian elite cavalry was like a bamboo, and the Mongolian tribes were afraid of the strength of Manchuria, and did not dare to have any covetousness, so they could only follow the troops, and wanted to get a piece of the pie; It's different now, the current situation is that Manchuria is no longer beautiful, and there are successive defeats, and Dolgon has nothing to do, who still takes Manchuria seriously?
Although it is said that the Ming Dynasty is the common enemy of Mongolia and Manchuria, however, if there is no profit drive, why should it give life to the Manchurians? Do you really think that the Manmeng family is a family?
It's not impossible to send troops, take the benefits!
The Mongolian tribes opened their mouths one by one, and put forward harsh demands on the Qing State, asking for silver taels, asking for salt and tea, asking for porcelain, grain, and even the population of the territory, and now the envoys sent out to the Mongolian ministries have already been anxious, if his meat is valuable, I am afraid that even his own meat will be eager to sell to the Mongols.
In the end, after Dolgon agreed to the extremely harsh conditions of the Mongolian tribes, the Mongolian tribes finally agreed to send troops, and the Chahar tribes gathered 30,000 cavalry, set off from Monan, and marched all the way, and it took ten days to enter the area of Xuanda and continue to advance towards Jingnan.
Dolgon's order to the Mongol tribes was that Sun Chuanting's army must be defeated and the predicament of Zhending Mansion must be relieved!
What Dolgon cares about most is Zhending Mansion, it doesn't matter if the whole Shandong is lost, if you can't fight it, you will have the strength to take it back, but Zhending Mansion definitely needs to be guaranteed in your own hands, at least when Duoduo did not leave the Daimyo Mansion, the safety of Zhending Mansion must be guaranteed, otherwise, it will really be taken by Sun Chuanting Zhending Mansion and cut off the back road, then Duoduo will be unlucky, unless Duoduo's army has wings, otherwise, it will be difficult to escape from the encirclement of Xu Yifan and Sun Chuanting!
It's a pity that the Mongols are still a step late, from Dolgon's order to go to the Mongolian ministries for help, to the Mongolian cavalry entering Gyeonggi, it dragged on for more than a month, a month, enough for Sun Chuanting to perform, Zhending Mansion has been in dilapidation after Qin Mufeng's trouble, and the city wall has collapsed in large areas, and it has not had time to repair it, at most, it is to pile it up with some green bricks.
If it weren't for the fact that Abatai led some of the elites of the Two Yellow Banners to Zhending Mansion in time, and strictly defended it with Zierharang, Sun Chuanting would have taken down the Zhending Mansion a long time ago, and the elite combat power of the Two Yellow Banners was really not covered, at least, the army under Sun Chuanting did not have any force that could compete with the elite of the Two Yellow Banners, even if it was Nanjing Qianzhen, after all, it was the most elite combat power in Manchuria, although Abatai's troops were not very many, only less than 20,000 people, but it still brought huge resistance to Sun Chuanting.
In a month, the entire Zhending Mansion has almost been flattened by Sun Chuanting's artillery battalion, and there are broken walls everywhere, the Qing army has suffered heavy casualties under the invasion of the Ming army's artillery fire, even if the two yellow flags are powerful, they can't stand the bombardment of artillery.
In the end, after a month's large-scale attack, Sun Chuanting saw that the Qing army's combat strength was almost exhausted, and made up his mind to launch a final attack on Zhending Mansion.
Nanjing Qianzhen, Nanjing Houzhen and Fengyang Town, the soldiers of the three towns launched a fierce attack on Zhending Mansion at the same time, and made up their minds to take Zhending Mansion in the shortest possible time!
This is the difference between Sun Chuanting and the younger generation of generals, if it was Qin Mufeng or Cha Shu, he would have launched a strong attack a long time ago, but Sun Chuanting didn't, he knew very well in his heart that if he launched a strong attack as soon as he came up, then the two yellow flag elites in Zhending City would definitely bring heavy casualties to the army of the three towns under his command, extremely heavy casualties, this price is not even something he can bear, underestimate his enemies, that is to pay the price of blood.
A month's battle is enough to squeeze the energy and physical strength of the two yellow flags, and this is the best time to attack by yourself!
Attack, take Zhending Mansion!
