Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 472 I am not Cao Ren

At the same time, on the watchtower at Dagukou.

Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu were already imagining the development of the next battle situation.

"Wu Heng, did Dorgon's death really have that much impact on Jiannu?"

"That's natural. Dorgon's death has a greater impact on the establishment of slaves. This is much more influential than the death of the old slave in Ningyuan City, or Huang Taiji's sudden death in Shenyang."

"Why do you see it? Why does Dorgon's death have a greater impact?"

"The reason is very simple, because there are more Prince Baylor who are qualified to fight for power."

"When the old slave died suddenly, only Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Amin, and Huang Taiji were qualified to fight for power. When Huang Taiji died suddenly, only Haoge and Duo were qualified to fight for power. Dorgon, so Jiannu has successfully completed the transfer of power, and there has been no internal strife."

"But I'm afraid it won't be so easy this time."

After a pause, Yan Yingyuan said again: "According to the information provided by the captives in the green camp, Jierhalang has been sent to Ningguta as a slave, and Daishan has been pissed off. If Dorgon dies again, the remaining princes and princes will be killed." Only Duduo and Azig are left with the most outstanding reputations, but Duduo is far away in Xuzhou, and has suffered repeated defeats before, so his reputation has plummeted, and Azig is a brave and foolish man , so neither of them can control the situation."

"Puheng, isn't there a little emperor called Fulin?"

"Because of the little emperor Fulin, the situation is more complicated."

Yan Yingyuan smiled and said: "At that time, it will be a situation where everyone will fight to be the emperor's father and regent."

If Chongzhen was here, he would definitely give Yan Yingyuan a thumbs up, because he accurately foresaw the future situation. In another world, after Dorgon's sudden death, many princes and princes jumped out to become the emperor's father and regent. Including Dorgon's brainless brother, Azig.

But in the end, all these princes and counties fell into the hands of a woman.

The little emperor Fulin is indeed still young, but the woman in the Forbidden City is full of political talents.

Naturally, Yan Yingyuan couldn't have known that there was such a powerful woman hidden in the Forbidden City in Beijing, so he was very optimistic about the next development of the situation.

After hearing Yan Yingyuan's analysis, Chen Mingyu was also very happy.

"So, Dorgon's sudden death is really an unavoidable disaster for Jiannu, haha."

With a laugh, Chen Mingyu said again: "Speaking of it, it is really God's help. Let our artillery battalion kill Dorgon so easily. God bless Daming."

"Is it easy?" Yan Yingyuan suddenly paused when he heard the words.

"Isn't it easy?" Chen Mingyu asked rhetorically, "Killing Dorgon with just a volley of cannonballs is much easier than killing the old slave in Ningyuan City back then. The old slave didn't die immediately after being shot."

"Didn't you die immediately after being shot?" Yan Yingyuan woke up like a dream after hearing this, "It's broken!"

"Yuheng?" Chen Mingyu was taken aback by Yan Yingyuan's sudden voice, "What's wrong?"

Yan Yingyuan didn't have time to explain to Chen Mingyu, and immediately yelled at the trumpeter below: "Assembly number! Hurry up and blow the assembly number! Assembly number, assembly number, blow the assembly number!"

……

Wang Fuchen and Jiang Yu led the rout of the green battalion and followed the rout of Zhenghong Banner led by Ga Dahun and Ji Xiha. When they were frantically fleeing westward, a group of black people suddenly appeared in the wilderness ahead.

In the darkness, two figures could be vaguely seen sitting at the front of the crowd.

Wang Fuchen and the others subconsciously slowed down and slowly came before the crowd.

After seeing clearly the two voices sitting at the front of the crowd, Ga Dahun, Ji Xiha and the dozen or so Zhenghongqi generals behind them were immediately stunned.

"Father and Regent? Your Majesty!"

Gadahun and the others were a little confused, what's going on?
But Wang Fuchen secretly said in his heart, sure enough.

This is indeed a trap, and the Ming army is in trouble.

Dorgon waved his hand and said, "Gadahun, don't worry about me, keep running."

"Here, father and regent, things are not as you imagined, we are facing the red flag..." Ka Dahun hurriedly knelt down to explain to Dorgon, but Dorgon stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"This is my will, hurry up and run forward."

Dorgon roared: "Otherwise I won't spare you!"

That's something to talk about, Garda jumped up and ran forward.

Looking at the Zhenghong Banners and Green Battalion soldiers running past in a panic, Dorgon turned his gaze forward again, and saw groups of red lights shining in the night sky from time to time, which were the Ming army's self-generated firecrackers being fired.

Soon, as long as the Ming army moves forward a few hundred steps, it will enter the ambush circle!
However, at this moment, a horn suddenly sounded in the direction of Dagukou in the distance.

"Toot, toot, toot..." The melodious and long horn sounded from a distance.

"This is..." Dorgon was a little confused, "The charge of the Ming army?"

"Master, this is not the charge, this is Minggou's rally!" Hou Fangyu's weak voice suddenly sounded from behind Dorgon, "The charge has an aggressive rhythm, and the rally has a slow and peaceful rhythm. This is the rally!"

"Assembly number?" Dorgon said in astonishment, "You mean that the Ming army is going to withdraw?"

"Yes, Minggou is about to withdraw his troops." Hou Fangyu said anxiously, "Master, give the order to attack!"

Dorgon was a little hesitant. The Ming army hadn't entered the ambush circle yet. If the Han army of the Eight Banners were launched in advance, the effect would be greatly reduced. It would definitely be impossible to completely wipe out the Ming army by then, at most it would be a defeat.

If it was just a defeat, considering that the navy of the Ming army had already entered the trench, the Ming army would be able to retreat to the gun platform with the support of the navy at that time, and the battle of Dagukou would still be unpredictable.

However, after just a moment of hesitation, the dense gunshots ahead suddenly stopped.

The Ming army, who were still chasing Zhenghongqi and the rout of the Green Camp to fire their guns, actually stopped firing their guns.

Although it was too dark to see anything, Dorgon could still imagine that most of the Ming army had already turned around and retreated quickly.

"Master, hurry up and attack."

"If you're too late, you'll miss your chance."

Hou Fangyu's shit is about to come out.

Dorgon finally made up his mind.

As soon as I don't know what happened on the other side,
But if you don't attack, you will really miss the opportunity.

At that moment Dorgon shouted: "Etuhun, let the rocket go!"

"Hey!" Etuhun immediately raised his big bow, and buckled the rocket he had prepared in advance on the string.

The Zhenghuang Banner Baya Lazhang Jingtulai next to him immediately lit a fire, and ignited the cotton cloth soaked in kerosene wrapped on the rocket's arrowhead, and the rocket ignited a flame.

Etuhun raised his big bow again and let go of the bowstring to the sky.

Immediately, a dazzling stream of light pierced the night sky.

Etuhun's rocket is the order of the Eight Banners Han Army.

In the next moment, more than 30 cannons from the first batch and more than 50 from the second batch arrived, a total of more than 80 cannons in red sprayed out flames at the same time, and the sound of the cannons shook the sky.

Accompanied by the loud sound of cannons, the musketeers hiding in the darkness on both sides also opened fire one after another.

In an instant, streaks of dazzling red light shot towards the night ahead like lightning.

With the help of these flashing red lights, Dorgon finally saw the figure of the Ming army. Sure enough, the Ming army was really retreating quickly, and I don't know what happened?

……

"Is this... an ambush?" Chen Mingyu couldn't believe his eyes.

"Yes, there is an ambush. This is a trap." Yan Yingyuan was also in a cold sweat seeing this. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and withdrew the Buying back at a critical moment, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss this time.

"But how is it possible?" Chen Mingyu said incredulously, "Could it be that Dorgon has already guessed your intention, and then set up this trap?"

"It's impossible for Dorgon to know the exact parameters of our Hongyi Cannon." Yan Yingyuan shook his head, and continued, "So, this is probably just a temporary idea on his part. He wanted to imitate Zhou Yu and fake his death."

"Fake death? Dole is really cunning." Chen Mingyu said awe-inspiringly, "We almost fell for him."

Yan Yingyuan sneered and said, "Dorgon wants to imitate Zhou Yu in cheating death, but unfortunately I, Yan Yingyuan, am not Cao Zixiao, so it is impossible for me to fall into his tricks. Immediately send a lantern signal to the navy to respond to the retreat of the battalion."

The messengers in the watch fight immediately hung the three-color lanterns on the watchtower.

……

Shi Tingzhu has come to Dorgon.

"Master, the Ming army suddenly withdrew, and the servants didn't know what was going on, but our Eight Banners Han army definitely did not expose their targets, really..." Shi Tingzhu was very worried that Dorgon would take his anger out on him.

But Shi Tingzhu's worry was unnecessary, Dorgon didn't mean to blame him.

"Shi Tingzhu, this is none of your business." Dorgon waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to blame you."

Shi Tingzhu heaved a sigh of relief, as long as he doesn't blame us, he asked again: "Master, do you still want to hunt down now?"

"No need." Dorgon sighed, and said, "It's useless to chase and kill now. If you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss. After all, the navy of the Ming army has already arrived."

After a short pause, he said again: "Retreat five li and go down to the stronghold."

Dorgon's order was issued, and the ministries of Jiannu retreated overnight.

At the same time, the list of casualties last night was also presented to Dorgon.

After seeing the list of casualties, Dorgon really didn't know whether he should be happy or sad?

To Dorgon's delight, Gulmahun, Luoluohun, Ledu, and Baerchuhun, who had just become the banner owner of the Zhenghong Banner, were all killed or seriously injured, and they were the kind of people who couldn't be saved. seriously injured.

The other county kings, Baylor and Beizi were not much better.

The reason why these Eight Banners nobles suffered heavy casualties was that several shells from the Ming army artillery directly hit the watchtower on the top of the Jinglan car, and many nobles were directly smashed to pieces.

In comparison, Dorgon and the others were lucky.
