Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 451 Dilemma
Seeing Azig take the initiative to stand up, Daishan almost laughed out loud.

"Yes, yes, I am old, and I can't keep up with my physical strength and energy."

Daishan immediately went downhill: "Now is the time for you young people."

Dorgon stared at Azige, with hatred in his heart, he really wanted to slap Azige to death.

But on the surface, Dorgon still kept his composure, waved his hand and said: "Old Twelve, shut up, I haven't bothered with you last time when I failed in the counterfeit and returned, how can you have the confidence to win?" Dagukou?"

Azig was instantly annoyed at being slapped in the face: "Old Fourteen, can you blame me for what happened last time? If you hadn't called me back halfway, I would have wiped out the hypocrisy by now."

Losers are always best at shirking responsibility.

"If you really want to prove yourself, it won't be too late after the second brother has tried."

Dorgon snorted and said to Daishan: "Second brother, the heavy task of attacking Dagukou belongs to you!"

Daishan knew that he couldn't escape, and it was useless to evade, because Dorgon could also use the collective will of the Eight Banners to suppress him. He held two white flags in his hand, and Fulin's two yellow flags were all under his control. No matter how the Eight Banners discuss politics, he is a loser for Shang Gu Erma Hun.

"Okay, the second brother will give it a try."

Dai Shandao: "However, the second brother can't trust the green battalion soldiers, you have to transfer Zhenghongqi back from Xuzhou."

Dorgon frowned when he heard the words, because according to his plan, Xuzhou's "hunting" had just entered a critical juncture at this time, not only to destroy Xuzhou's farming, but more importantly, to replace the generals of other banners. All the generals who were loyal to the banner were replaced with those who were loyal to Dorgon.

At this time, if the positive red flag is adjusted back,

It will make Duoduo's rectification of Zhenghongqi fall short.

As a result, as soon as Daishan finished speaking, Azige continued: "Old Fourteen, by the way, transfer my twenty Niulu back. There is no Eight Banners Manchuria, so I'm afraid I won't be able to win Dagukou."

"No." To Azig, Dorgon flatly refused.

But Daishan didn't dare to be so decisive, and said with a straight face: "Second brother, Duoduo led a total of 260 Niulu from Manchuria of the Eight Banners to hunt in Xuzhou.

"However, I can transfer 10 Niulu back from Zhenghongqi at my discretion."

After a pause, Dorgon said again: "With the help of these 10 Niulu Manchurian warriors, the second brother must have confidence? After all, there are only five or six thousand Ming troops in Dagukou."

"Okay, then call 10 Niulu back."

Dai Shanjian had no choice but to settle for the next best thing if he didn’t want to return everything.

Dorgon immediately sent flying cavalry to the Xuzhou battlefield to deploy troops.

……

At this time, Duoduo on the Xuzhou battlefield was in a dilemma.

If the hunting continues, it will become a loss-making business.

The cruel reality is that since the main force of the Ming army came to Xuzhou, especially with a large number of cavalry of the Ming army joining the battle, the Eight Banners Manchuria lost a lot of people every day, let alone plundering people.

As of today, the Eight Banners have lost more than [-] riders in total.

When seeing this number today, Doduo himself was shocked.

Unknowingly, ten cattle records have been lost on the Xuzhou battlefield.

What worries Doduo even more is that the casualties are still expanding day by day.

At the beginning, they basically lost a few rides, a few dozen rides, and occasionally a fiasco where hundreds of rides were lost, but since the end of March, the number of lost rides has risen to dozens of rides every day.

If it continues, Dodo dares to assert that the number of losses per day will increase.

But the problem is, if the troops are withdrawn at this point, there is no way to explain to Brother Fourteen.

So Dodo is really in a dilemma, and doesn't know what to do.

Duoduo was indecisive, so he called more than a dozen Gushan Ezhen and Meilezhangjing of the two white flags together to discuss countermeasures.

He Luohui suggested: "Master, you can't just withdraw your troops just like this, not to mention that the military generals like Ao Bai, Ye Chen, Lan Bai, etc. have not really surrendered, even Xuzhou's farming has not been destroyed. "

Azigni Kan of Zhengbai Banner also said: "Yes, no matter what, we have to wait until autumn, so that we can not only plunder a batch of coats while Minggou is farming, but also harvest a wave Qiuliang, make up for the loss, or else coming to Xuzhou this time is really a big loss."

The other generals also joined in.

No one supports withdrawal.

Duoduo said helplessly, "Why does this king want to withdraw his troops?"

"Withdrawing troops back in such a disheveled manner will inevitably be punished again. At that time, I am afraid that this king will not even be able to keep his title of county king, or even lose several Niulu bannermen."

"But the problem is that if you continue to spend with Minggou in Xuzhou, you will lose money."

"My lord, I don't know if you have calculated, the casualties in the last two days can be equal to the previous ten days!"

Having said this, Duoduo sighed again: "Now we only lost more than 3000 riders, but if we spend a few more months with Minggou in Xuzhou, the loss may be [-] riders!"

Thirty thousand riders is of course an exaggeration, but ten thousand riders is really possible.

Ah Shan, He Luohui, Azignican and other generals suddenly fell silent.

It was also at this time that they finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

After pondering for a moment, Doduo said again: "However, even if it is inevitable to withdraw the troops in the end, we can't just withdraw the troops like this. Before withdrawing the troops, Minggou must be severely beaten."

Hearing this, Ah Shan, He Luohui, etc. suddenly regained their spirits.

To be honest, the fights in the past few months really made them aggrieved.

In the past, their Eight Banners warriors were always at a disadvantage on the battlefield. The Ming army ran away when they saw them, but this time it was not like this at all on the Xuzhou battlefield. The pack actually turned to hunt and kill the wolf pack, isn't this a mess?

Ah Shan asked: "Master, are you planning to fight Ming Gou head-on?"

"A decisive battle will definitely not work." Duoduo shook his head and said, "We only came from the Manchuria of the Eight Banners, and the Green Battalion, the Han Army of the Eight Banners, and even the Mongolian Army of the Eight Banners did not follow, and the Ming army in Xuzhou also had a large number of infantry in addition to the cavalry. There are also car camps and a large number of red cannons and tiger crouching cannons, a frontal decisive battle is purely courting death."

He Luohui asked again: "Does the master mean to launch an ambush?"

"Yes, ambush." ​​Duoduo nodded and said, "Find a suitable terrain to ambush the Ming cavalry, even if you can't wipe out the Ming cavalry at once, you have to injure them severely! Let Chongzhen, the dog emperor, know that riding and shooting is still the best thing to do." It must be our Manchurian warriors, no matter how hard Minggou trains, it is impossible to catch up."

"But Minggou is very cautious."

Azignikan also said: "They will not be fooled."

"Come and take a look." Duoduo took out a map of Shandong.

It is the previous map, which can only be used as a reference.

"This is Nanyang Lake. The Ming army's cavalry will only chase here at most, and will not chase north."

"Because Nanyang Lake began to enter the mountains to the north, obviously, the Ming army was worried that we would bury soldiers in the mountains north of Nanyang Lake and Dushan Lake, so ambushing the Ming army north of Nanyang Lake would not work."

Ah Shan said: "But to the south of Nanyang Lake is an open plain, there is no way to hide ambushes."

Duoduo said: "It's impossible to hide now, but in a few days we can hide the ambushes, because the weeds have grown to several feet high, and the soldiers can be hidden soon."

"Weeds?" He Luohui waited for his eyes to light up.

That's right, why did you forget about the weeds?Right now it is spring, the season when weeds grow crazily. In one day, weeds can grow several inches high in the field, and within a few days, weeds can grow three to five feet high.

Doduo said again: "So don't go hunting these days, let the weeds grow more luxuriantly."

As soon as the words were finished, a Ba Ya La soldier hurried in with a waxed letter in both hands: "Master, Tianjin Express."

"Tianjin urgent delivery?" Duoduo was taken aback when he heard that, what kind of urgent delivery did Tianjin send him?It's really inexplicable, Tianjin Admiral Luo Yangxing wants to give his daughter to him as a concubine, but there is no need to send it urgently, right?

He Luohui, Ashan, and Azignikan and other generals of the two white flags also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Full of doubts, Doduo cut open the wax with a dagger, and took out the letter from the envelope.

After just reading a few lines, Duoduo suddenly changed his expression. Dagukou was taken by the Ming army?
Seeing Doduo's unkind expression, He Luohui asked worriedly, "Master, what happened?"

After hesitating for a moment, Duoduo decided to tell the truth: "Chongzhen, the dog emperor, sent all the troops to attack Dagukou a few days ago!"

"what?"

"Takukou?"

"how can that be?"

He Luohui and the others also changed countenance when they heard the words.

Duoduo went on to say: "In the past few days, the emperor's father and uncle, the Regent, have been defeated in Dagukou successively, and many green battalion soldiers have been lost. Now it is Prince Li who is taking the lead on behalf of Shan, and Prince Li asked to recall Shi Niulu. Banner of the red flag!"

"How is this possible?" He Luohui, Azignikan and others were immediately dumbfounded when they heard the words. Uncle Regent and Emperor Regent both suffered defeat in Dagu?How difficult is it for the Ming army to be sidelined this way?

He Luohui even suggested: "Master, why don't we come back to help?"

"No need for now." Duo Duo had already learned of Dorgon's overall plan from the letter.

Putting the letter away, Duoduo said again: "Come here, go and call Kadahun to this king."

Gadahun is Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen, and he was ordered to come to the lobby of Yanshenggong's mansion soon.

Seeing that Gadahun had greeted him, Duoduo said: "Gadahun, your master is in trouble at Dagukou, and you are asked to lead ten Niulu bannermen to help, you should hurry back. "

Ga Da Hun's face changed slightly and he said: "Dare to ask the prince, what happened to Dagu?"

"You'll know when you go." Dodo said impatiently, "Don't ask too many questions."

"Hey." Gadahun really didn't dare to ask more questions. During this time, Duoduo was really scared.
