Ming politicians

Hong Chengchou was lucky, and Dorgon finally made a decision to use [-] Eight Banners sergeants to charge, which greatly reduced his pressure.

The two cannon shots were almost connected together. Sergeants Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner under Dorgon's command heard the cannon sound and began to rush towards the battlefield, but before the cannon shot completely fell, another cannon sound appeared. It was the sound of the Jiangning Battalion's charge, and at the same time as the Manchu Eight Banners launched the attack, the other [-] troops of the Jiangning Battalion, which had been prepared long ago, also began to charge.

These [-] troops were directed at the Hou Jin Tartars. Their goal was very clear, to prevent the Hou Jin Tartars from reinforcements, and their task was to start a fight with the Hou Jin Tartars.

Chen Xinjia on the mountain finally changed his expression. He has always been calm, but he couldn't help it now. Even a fool can see the plan of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ning Ying. Jiang Ning Ying has been divided into several groups. The attack has started, and their respective responsibilities are different, but it can be clearly felt that the first wave of charge is aimed at the [-] Datong frontier army. If the situation of collapse is reached, the pattern of the entire campaign will undergo major changes.However, there is something Chen Xinjia doesn't understand, that is, since Su Tiancheng is well prepared, why the Jiangning battalion soldiers who attacked first were reluctant to advance on a large scale.

Dorgon's face also changed. In fact, Dorgon had already thought of this when the staff made the suggestion. As the main opponent of the Qing Dynasty, how could Su Tiancheng have no other arrangements, how could he use tens of thousands of people to fight ten thousand people? There must be other arrangements for an army of tens of thousands. Dorgon is clear about this mode of dividing troops, that is, the main army is all the way.The other armies are responsible for preventing reinforcements. As long as the army that undertakes the main attack completely defeats the opponent, the battle situation will soon undergo a decisive change.

Dorgon had seen the bravery of the Jiangning battalion with his own eyes, and he could almost conclude that with the strength of the coalition forces, it would be impossible to completely wipe out the Jiangning battalion army.The only thing that can be done is to inflict heavy damage on the Jiangning battalion, but the prerequisite is also clear, that is, the [-] Datong frontier army can firmly resist the Jiangning battalion's attack.To buy time for the other two armies, if the [-] Datong frontier army that fought first would collapse soon.It's hard to turn the tide of battle.

After much hesitation.Dorgon did not give the order to attack across the board, which was an order that he regretted for the rest of his life.

A more brutal fight began.

During the artillery attack, the Man Ba ​​Banners did not suffer too many losses. In addition to the fierce fighting in the front, the fighting spirit of the soldiers was aroused, so when they charged.It looked very imposing, comparable to the imposing manner of the oncoming Jiangning battalion soldiers, which was doomed to a tragic fight.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Jiangning Camp.Su Tiancheng's main thoughts are still to prevent the growth of the rogues and the momentum of the Houjin Tartars. The two main opponents, the rogues have been wiped out by the Jiangning camp, and the rest are the Houjin Tartars. As for the fight with the Ming army Well, this was not planned before, but as the situation changed, Su Tiancheng proclaimed himself emperor, so this kind of fight was necessary.

In other words, the Houjin Tartars are the main opponents of Jiangningying.

When the [-] troops led by Hong Chengchou fought with the Houjin Tatars, their feeling and momentum were completely different, and they were merciless in their strikes. It should be said that the fight with the Ming army was an internal struggle. After the Ming army laid down their weapons, the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp would not kill them all, but it was different when facing the Houjin Tartars. No matter whether you put down your weapons or not, you will all be killed without mercy.

Within a radius of five miles, two large-scale battlefields appeared, where 10,000+ people were fighting, no birds were seen in the sky, and the bursts of yellow sand were full of blood.

The Jiangning battalion and the Houjin Tatars quickly stuck together, and the casualties of both sides were increasing, but no one retreated, they all charged forward desperately, and they all fought desperately with their opponents. Hugging each other, tearing at each other desperately, thinking of killing each other, the two sides have been fighting for half an hour, and still can't tell whether they are superior or inferior.

Chen Xinjia on the mountain peak received Dorgon's request that the other [-] Datong frontier troops who were asked to prepare should be dispatched at this time. Basically black.

Chen Xinjia ignored Dorgon's request for the time being. Judging from the visual observation, he knew that Dorgon did not make a full-scale attack, but it cannot be said that Dorgon's arrangement was wrong. I feel that it is impossible to decide the outcome of this major battle within a day, or Dorgon's method of preserving strength may be the correct method when the battle advances to the end.

Chen Xinjia didn't want to use the [-] Datong frontier army for the time being. Judging from the formation of the Jiangning battalion, there must be a large army waiting for the [-] reserve team. If the reserve team is pulled up at this time, That is to say that all the troops have been dispatched. If they cannot gain the advantage of the battle situation, it will be really hard to say later.

The brutal fighting has made Chen Xinjia used to it. He ordered the messengers to give Wang Daozhi an order. No matter how heavy the casualties are, he must withstand it. There must be no collapse. This is the bottom line. If there is a rout The situation affects the entire situation, Chen Xinjia will not spare Wang Daozhi, even though Wang Daozhi's status is not ordinary, he will take out the sword of Shang Fang.

From the initial shock, Chen Xinjia gradually calmed down. He made a decisive decision that he would not send a [-] reserve team for today's battle.

It was Jiang Ningying who voluntarily withdrew from the battle, which surprised everyone.

This is the decision made by Su Tiancheng. Of course, Su Tiancheng also made this decision after careful consideration. The basic purpose of the first day's battle has been achieved. However, the casualties of the Jiangning Battalion are not small. If they continue to persist, it will be very detrimental to future operations.

The weakness of the Jiangning Camp is obvious. From the perspective of strength, the Ming Army and the Houjin Tartars have a great advantage. There are at least [-] coalition troops who have not moved, but the Jiangning Camp has only [-] soldiers. This is the Jiangning Camp It will take at least two days for the [-] army led by Lu Xiangsheng to arrive, so the fight on the first day cannot hurt your vitality, otherwise it will be difficult to persist in the next two days up.

Chen Xinjia, Wang Daozhi, and Dorgon were caught off guard by the active retreat of the Jiangning Battalion. It is difficult for the [-] Datong Frontier Army to persist. Faced with such a situation, why did the Jiangning Battalion retreat across the board.

While evacuating from the battle, according to the usual practice, both sides should clean up the battlefield and bring back the remains of the fallen soldiers. This is a rule, and there is no need to discuss it. Everyone silently abides by it.

It is Dorgon who is not used to this situation. In his war thinking, only the victor can clean up the battlefield, and the loser is not qualified. As for when the battle is not over, the two sides will continue to fight. The decision came out.

The situation on the battlefield was tragic. The sergeants cleaning up the battlefield were not in a good mood, but neither side continued to fight. They were busy collecting the bodies of their own brothers and carrying some seriously injured brothers back for medical treatment.

This scene gave Dorgon a huge shock. He personally participated in the cleaning of the battlefield, which seemed impossible in the past. As the prince of Hou Jin, how could he do these things.

Dorgon asked the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion why they did this, and the answer he got made him ponder for a long time. An officer of the Jiangning battalion said that this was the emperor's request, and the opponent must be respected on the battlefield. After the fight, we must not forget our own civilized etiquette.

This answer made Dorgon really feel scared.Where does the strength come from? The bravery of the army is only one aspect. The soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion can respect their opponents, and after a tragic fight, they can also appreciate their generosity. Who can defeat such an army.

It was precisely because of his participation in cleaning up the battlefield this time that Dorgon had the idea of ​​retreating. He believed that the collapse of the Ming Dynasty was a certainty, and it was impossible to avoid. The Jin Dynasty must completely replace the Ming Dynasty.

As for the retreat of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon didn't think so much for the time being, maybe it was because of the things behind it that it was hard to imagine. Anyway, under the current situation, it may be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to compete with the Jin Dynasty. The focus is to take advantage of this opportunity to do something in Liaodong, occupy as much land as possible, and enter the customs to carry out large-scale looting of many places in Ming Dynasty, so as to accumulate wealth and strengthen strength.

The battle in Cangzhou must continue, but the thinking of the battle must be changed. It is impossible to fight head-to-head with the Jiangning battalion. If this continues, Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner will suffer heavy losses. Warriors need to be cultivated by the flames of war. It is a pity that many warriors lost their lives in Cangzhou.

After returning to the camp, Dorgon saw the messenger sent by Chen Xinjia. This time he was not polite, and told the messenger that he still had some things to deal with, and he went directly to Cangzhou City after the processing was completed.

The messenger didn't expect Dorgon to have such an attitude. After a moment of shock, he turned and left. Anyway, he couldn't enter the barracks of the Houjin Tartars. Dorgon's attitude is beyond his control. (To be continued..)
