Ming Zuo

Chapter 1491 Breaking Point

While Dorgon was discussing the battle with the Mongolian princes and nobles, Bumbutai was also receiving the women of the Mongolian princes and nobles' families.

As soon as they met, all kinds of rare treasures were rewarded.

Bumbutai's demeanor was calm, without even blinking his brows.

Seeing her deeds, those aristocratic women who were originally restless also quieted down.

"It's hard for you guys to stay at home when you're out fighting. But the days of fear and fear are almost over, and it won't be long before all the men return home with full rewards, and they will be able to have a good year."

In terms of marching and fighting, Bumbutai is not worthy of carrying shoes for Dorgon.But when it comes to playing political means, Dorgon has to bow down.

The Mongolian noble women received the rewards and went back full of joy.

As for how the pillow wind will blow, one can imagine.

But when the crowd dispersed, Bumbutai finally showed a look of fear.

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Su Ma said in a low voice: "Madam, everything is given away, I'm afraid life will be difficult in the future."

Bumbutai struggled to hold onto his clothes with his hands, veins protruding from the back of his hands.

"If the Qing Dynasty is over, what's the use of keeping these gold and silver treasures? Now I can only fight hard, and I hope God will bless you."

While talking, Dorgon came back.

Bumbutai screened others, and there was no need to cover up anything at this time.

"Prince Rui, tell Aijia, can we return to Shengjing?"

Dorgon looked sad, but his attitude was firm.

"If we don't go back, we have to go back. That is our root."

In times of crisis, Bumbutai finally stopped fighting with him, but cooperated sincerely.

"The Mongols are still stable for the time being, but if they lose the battle, it will be hard to say."

Dorgon's heart warmed, and he squeezed out a smile.

"It's hard for you. Don't worry, the old Khan and the first emperor were in danger, and they survived. Today, I, Dorgon, can't do worse than them."

The Khan position should have been his, and this has always been his pride.

Huang Taiji is dead, and what Dorgon needs to do most is to prove to the world that he is also outstanding, no worse than Huang Taiji.

Whether he can turn things around this time is his chance.

Five days later, the 4 Qing troops and more than [-] Mongolian cavalry who had completed their preparations marched towards the Xilamulun River from different directions.

Everyone understands the importance of this battle.

Even Tan Tai, who has been bedridden, dragged his sick body to participate in the battle.

There is really no way, Dorgon has no one to use, so Tan Tai can only be the vanguard general.

More than 7 troops moved mightily, like several torrents, approaching the National Defense Forces.

On the vast grassland, the reconnaissance and strangling battle has already been fully launched.

The reconnaissance operations here are very different from those in the Central Plains.

Fighting in the Central Plains, scouts and scouts from both sides will use various terrains to fight in order to compete for the right to shield the battlefield.

But on the grassland, to achieve this goal, the only thing that can be used is cavalry.

Therefore, the reconnaissance infantry of the fourth division did not dispatch, and it was the third cavalry division that took over the task.

The Han cavalry, like the Mongolian cavalry, was divided into several squads and galloped back and forth on the grassland.

Seeing that the number of opponents is about the same, they will pounce on them and bite them.Regardless of victory or defeat, both sides must suffer heavy casualties.

The only thing that can be competed at this time is whose reinforcements will come faster between the two sides.

In a short period of time, by fighting more and destroying the enemy, you can gain control of battlefield intelligence.

For ten days in a row, this cruel strangulation has never stopped.

And all kinds of intelligence flow are generally sent to the command centers of both sides.

"The cavalry fought well and did not let the Mongols take advantage of it. This is very good for us to stabilize our defense."

Seeing that the Third Cavalry Division did not fall into a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Mongolian cavalry, Lou Fu did not hesitate to praise him.

Pan Zhengyang, the commander of the Third Cavalry Division, was also very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates.

"Wait until the fight really breaks out, and let the deputy commander-in-chief take a look at how powerful our cavalry is."

On the side of the Qing army, Dorgon and others looked ugly.

"It's really unexpected that the cavalry of the Han people are so powerful. I don't know how many cavalry they have. If there are too many..."

Tan Tai coughed several times when he said a word, but the worry in his heart was deeper.

On the Korean battlefield, he was one of the main generals who fought against the National Defense Forces, and he knew the strength of the National Defense Forces best.

But at that time, the National Defense Forces had only infantry, and they could only spread out among the mountains, competing with the Qing army on top of each mountain.

But when it came to the Central Plains battlefield, the large corps of the National Defense Army fought in groups, causing the Qing army to suffer heavy losses.

If the overall combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the National Defense Forces is the same as that of these scouts, this battle may be more or less ominous.

"Manzhu Xili, you lead the headquarters to go south immediately, and find a way to take back Kulun. This time, if you dare to escape again, this king will personally enforce the military law."

In the first battle of Hailanpao, Manzhu Xili was the first to escape, causing the Qing army to be defeated across the board.Dorgon has always kept this matter in mind, but because of his status, it is inconvenient for him to have an outbreak.

But now that the Qing Dynasty has reached the verge of life and death, if this bastard dares to run away, Dorgon will not care about the Mongols' thoughts.

Feeling Dorgon's strong killing intent, Manzhu Xili's neck felt a chill, and he quickly cheered up.

He led his troops out of the formation and went straight to Kulun.

This is the territory of Horqin's left wing. He is familiar with the road and can't go wrong with his eyes closed.In the case of holding back the main force of the National Defense Forces in the middle, it is really unreasonable to fail to achieve results.

According to intelligence, the National Defense Forces deployed only a second-line force of more than 1 people in this area, that is, a security division.

This kind of army has no cavalry, so it must have nothing to do with Manzhu Xili on the vast grassland.

At the same time, Badali led Horqin's right wing to go down from the Huolin River, but the marching speed was slow.

Apparently Badalley is quite afraid of the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces.

He needs to decide where to go according to the marching speed of Dorgon in the middle, so as to avoid being caught by the National Defense Forces alone.

But Badali didn't know that Lou Fu really had his eye on him.

"After Horqin's left wing produced several concubines in a row, its status has risen sharply, and it has already faintly overwhelmed the right wing. Although Badali is the co-lord of Horqin's various ministries, he can't suppress Wu Keshan and others at all. Badali must be in his heart. Man Qing complained quite a bit, and would not fight with all his strength. His right wing was far away from the main battlefield, and he thought it was safe, but he didn't know that he had become a lone army."

After analyzing the situation, Lou Fu looked at Pan Zhengyang.

"Master Pan, I will completely hand over Horqin's right wing to your third cavalry division. How about it, are you sure you can win a battle?"

Pan Zhengyang was more stable, and just asked: "Do we need to wipe out the right wing, or just win one battle?"

Lou Fu explained the main points.

"It cannot be completely wiped out. Horqin's right wing will play an important role in our future attack on the grassland."

Only then did Pan Zhengyang express his confidence.

"Please rest assured, the deputy commander in chief, we will win this battle."
