Chapter 144: Huang Taiji's Plan (1st Update)
On the second day of November in the second year of Chongzhen, the hour was three quarters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhao led an army of 4,000 to lead the city of Krovinyu, and beheaded Jin Beile Aixinjue Luo Saharan, captured the traitorous general, and the former Luo Wenyu garrison Li Sili.
Outside the city of Zunhua, the Huang Taiji camp.
There were eight or nine people sitting in the tent, in addition to Huang Taiji, there were Daishan and Mang Gurtai, two of the four major beylers, Yue Tuo, the commander of the right-wing army, and Belle Duoduo, Zilharang, and the first class chief officer Yangguli.
In addition, there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy sitting in the tent, and the boyish face of the young man had an unusually calm and sophisticated face, which seemed to be a little out of place for his age.
This man was Dolgon, who was only eighteen years old. At the age of eight, Dolgon was awarded the title of Heshuo Ezhen, one of the nine major Ejin, and participated in state politics. At the age of fourteen, he was named Baylor, and at the age of seventeen, he began to fight with Huang Taiji in the south and the north, and was awarded the title of "Morgen Daiqing" for his outstanding military achievements, and at the same time became the owner of the white flag. The experience since childhood has made his mind more mature than his peers, and the ambition of the young man also makes him a little conceited, so his eyes are a little contemptuous when he looks at Dai Shan and others.
The atmosphere seemed a little dreary and oppressive.
Luo Wenyu's urgent military situation had just arrived, and after learning that the four thousand elite soldiers led by Zhao did not come to Zunhua as scheduled, and instead attacked Luo Wenyu, everyone was taken aback and a little caught off guard.
At this time, the main force of the right wing of Houjin had arrived in Zunhua to join the Chinese army, and the Azig army on the left flank was still stupidly ambushing in the area of the Shangshui River, and Huang Taiji had just sent a horse sentry to inform him.
At present, the army that Huang Taiji can call is 20,000 in the Chinese army, 4,000 in the left wing army, and about 25,000 soldiers, but the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is worse than that of the Ming army, and they are generally not counted in the battle sequence.
Luo Wenyu must have been saved, but how to save it has caused fierce debate among everyone.
The conservatives led by Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai believed that the Ming army's abandonment of Zunhua and its turn to attack Luo Wenyu was obviously to cut off the retreat of the Dajin army, and then mobilize heavy troops to fight a decisive battle with Dajin. In the case of difficult support, the Dajin army went deep alone, and it was extremely dangerous to face the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming State, so it was necessary to immediately mobilize the army to help, recapture Luo Wenyu and rescue Sakhalian, and then withdraw the whole army for the coming year.
This time their argument was also supported by Dordor and Yanguli.
The opposition was led by Yueto, Zilharang and Dolgon. They believe that the Ming army is now unable to fight such a large-scale battle at all. The reason why Zhao Shujiao went to fight Luo Wenyu was probably just that he knew that the Dajin army had already come to the city of Zunhua, and he didn't dare to come to the rescue directly, so he used this kind of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" drama and bluffing to scare the Dajin army. Therefore, it is only necessary to send 3,000 to 4,000 elite soldiers to rescue Luo Wenyu, and the rest can continue to attack Zunhua.
Huang Taiji remained silent, quietly watching the two factions arguing. As a serious strategist, Huang Taiji is not conservative, but he is not as radical as Yue Tuo, Dolgon and others.
The current situation really confused him, so much so that he was a little undecided. He was reluctant to give up this hard-won opportunity to enter the fortress, but at the same time, he was also afraid of falling into the trap of Daming to lure the enemy deeper.
The controversy lasted for most of the hour, and no one could convince anyone.
At this time, another sentry came from outside the door to report.
"Report! Qi Great Khan, the Ming army has captured the city of Luowenyu! Sakhalian Belle and the 800 warriors in the city are all martyred!"
Like a bomb dropped into the tent, everyone stood up, and everyone was stunned on their faces.
How can it be said that Sakhalian's subordinates even have more than 2,000 troops with regular troops and soldiers, and with the Ming army's surrender, that is, more than 4,000, they fell so quickly? Sakhalian's ability, no one here will doubt it, and Luo Wenyu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and everyone knows that the Ming army was able to take Luo Wenyu in less than two hours?
When did they have such a strong fighting force?
Seeing this, Dai Shan immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Great Khan, now the facts are very clear. The Ming army has mobilized the main force and is ready to close the floodgates and fight to the death with our army. Our army is lone and deep, and it has already committed a taboo in the soldiers, and if we venture to fight the Ming army that has been prepared for a long time, I am afraid that it will be dangerous and unpredictable......"
Before Dai Shan could finish speaking, Dolgon immediately interrupted, "Dai Shan Belle, if the Ming army intends to fight a decisive battle with me, why has there been no sign of the movement of the army until now? Not only did our sentry horses not detect it, but even the Ming Dynasty should not have found it, could it be that the Ming army used stealth techniques?"
Dai Shan sneered, "Dolgon, are you still mentioning those Ming countries called Huazi? Those who called Huazi said that the four thousand elite soldiers of Zhao led the sect to Zunhua to help, but they came? The people of the Ming Kingdom are all cunning people, you see that those soldiers who surrendered to the water said that they would oppose the water, how could their words be credulous?"
Dolgon was not angry, and said calmly, "Even if those called Huazi are not credible, are our sentry horses not credible? Besides, if the Ming army wants to fight a decisive battle with me, why don't they also take Da'ankou down? Could it be that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is merciful and wants to encircle and suppress us on the one hand, and leave us a way to survive on the other?"
Dai Shan said again, "The soldiers are treacherous, how do you know if this is a trap set by the Ming army? They deliberately set aside Da'ankou to lure our army to Da'ankou to get out of the fortress, and then on the way they ambushed the army and waited for an opportunity to encircle and annihilate it, what is impossible?"
Dolgon said unhurriedly, "Dai Shan Belle, now that there are civil uprisings in the Ming Kingdom, and the Ming army has not been able to suppress these rebel armies, how can we make up so many troops to fight against our Dajin? With those tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops? Or with those rags near Gyeonggi who can't even afford to pay money?"
The two of them are for tat and do not give in to each other.
At this time, Huang Taiji finally spoke.
"That's enough, I've made up my mind. ”
The tone was not high, but there was an irresistible majesty, and everyone fell silent.
"Dolgon, I order you to quickly bring 3,000 elite soldiers and rush to the aid of Daankou. ”
Dolgon immediately stood up and said, "Obey the Great Khan!"
Then Huang Taiji said to Mang Gurtai, "Mang Gurtai, I order you to bring 2,000 elite soldiers to garrison the periphery of Da'ankou, and at the same time bring 300 horse sentry posts to patrol the area from Da'ankou to Zunhua day and night. ”
Mang Gurtai was a little reluctant, this job can obviously be sent to others, Huang Taiji wants to go by himself, it is nothing more than to support himself.
But he still got up and agreed, "Take the order!"
In fact, Huang Taiji did not believe that the Ming army could gather so many troops to start a decisive battle with Dajin. But as the Great Khan, he couldn't take the entire elite adventure of Dajin, so he still sent 5,000 elite soldiers to guard the retreat to Daankou. As for Luo Wenyu, he unexpectedly chose to give up. One is because Sakhalian is dead, and the other is that if you go to save it, you will have to divide the army again, Dajin has not many troops, and if you divide it again, you won't want to fight the strong Zunhua City.
At this time, Huang Taiji was full of ambition, fully demonstrating the strategic vision and self-confidence of a generation of heroes.
After arranging the retreat, Huang Taiji's eyes radiated a longing gaze again.
"Prepare for the battle, and when Azigebel returns with the army, attack Zunhua City immediately!"
