Ming politicians

Nearly 20 Jin Tartars besieged Dalinghe City, which Hong Chengchou did not expect. At this time, he would not be able to hold Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi accountable. It's dangerous. After all, there are only 3 soldiers waiting here. Hong Chengchou didn't know that there were 2 multilateral troops who retreated back. More than 10 of them entered Ningyuan City, and [-] entered Shanhaiguan, waiting for Guan Ning The Ming army on the Jinfang Line reached [-] people.

Hong Chengchou was not worried about the attack on Dalinghe City by the Later Jin Tartars, nor was he worried about Jinzhou, but Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan were hard to say, especially Shanhaiguan, where there were only [-] frontier troops stationed. If Huang Taiji led the army to Attacking Shanhaiguan, then the Jiangning battalion soldiers of Dalinghe City will leave here even if they risk their lives, and fight to the death with the Houjin Tartars to protect Shanhaiguan, but Hong Chengchou is very clear about what such a battle means.

And the most crucial point, Huang Taiji is very likely to ask some of the Houjin Tartars to continue to besiege Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, and take some of the Houjin Tartars to attack Shanhaiguan.

Huang Taiji has already written a letter. This is a letter of persuasion. It clearly stated that there were 20 warriors from the Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners who attacked Liaodong. He was also unwilling to kill too much, and advised the Ming army stationed in Dalinghe City to surrender. Of course, Hong Chengchou would not pay attention to such a letter of persuasion, but he couldn't help worrying. It should be said that Huang Taiji might be exaggerating. It is impossible for one hundred thousand frontier troops to be completely wiped out, but Hong Chengchou doesn't know the specific situation, what these frontier troops are like, and how many soldiers are left.It is unknown where these sergeants are at present, since the Golden Tatars surrounded Dalinghe City, all the news is unknown.

Hong Chengchou discussed with many officers, and all of them had the same point of view, to stick to Dalinghe City.

Hong Chengchou once thought about it.He was able to send sergeants to rush out of the encirclement at night to understand the situation in Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, but he finally gave up and observed the camp of the Houjin Tartars for two consecutive days. He knew very well that no one could rush out, which would only increase casualties Do not do it.

Hong Chengchou also has sufficient self-confidence.The Houjin Tartars were unable to capture Dalinghe City, even if Huang Taiji personally led the Houjin Tartars, they would never succeed, they could only cause more heavy casualties outside Dalinghe City.

Hong Chengchou's self-confidence was also confirmed. After Huang Taiji led the army over, he did not directly attack Dalinghe City, but set up camps around it, surrounding Dalinghe City like an iron barrel.Hong Chengchou was not in a hurry when the Hou Jin Tartars besieged Dalinghe City.The food in the city is enough to last for more than half a year. For such a long time, I'm afraid that Su Tiancheng would have taken action a long time ago. This is not the situation in Chongzhen's four years.

Huang Taiji was also worried, and the siege continued for a long time.Probably not, since things are different now.

It is also impossible to directly attack Dalinghe City. The guards of Dalinghe City are Jiangning battalion soldiers.Brave and good at fighting, Dorgon led the army, and only attacked for one day, with casualties reaching 5000 people. If you continue to work hard, it is impossible to make much improvement. Besides, the sharpness of Daming artillery made Huang Taiji shudder. He also decided , no matter what, you must get Daming's artillery.

There are also some problems with the method of besieging the city and fighting for aid. If Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion soldiers and dispatched all the troops to Liaodong, together with the Ming army in Liaodong, what would be the end of such a big battle? Huang Taiji can't guarantee that The victory of the Qing Dynasty, if it fails, the Qing Dynasty will also be in danger.

The best way is to attack, but how to attack is debatable.

Chinese military account.

Dorgon, Hauge, Azig, Tony, Aobai, Tan Tai and others are all here. Fan Wencheng is standing on the right side of Huang Taiji. After the previous battle, Fan Wencheng's position has become more and more stable. His precise analysis helped Huang Taiji make a decision, and even helped the Qing Dynasty win a major victory.

"I don't think it's okay to besiege the city and fight for aid. Now I'm in a dilemma. On the one hand, it's probably impossible to besiege Dalinghe City. After all, the situation has changed over the years, and I have to Preventing accidents, on the other hand, attacking is also not enough. The Jiangning Battalion stationed in Dalinghe City is extremely brave. The fourteenth brother has already organized an attack, and the casualties are very large. If too many casualties are paid, it is still impossible. Taking down Dalinghe City is extremely detrimental to the Qing Dynasty, what do you think should be done in such a situation?"

Dorgon looked at the crowd and spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the outcome of my attack on Dalinghe City and Heishan is completely different. The army suffered heavy losses when attacking Dalinghe City. Although the attack on Heishan also caused certain losses, they captured Heishan and killed all the defenders. The Ming army in the city, it can be seen that the fighting power of the Daming Frontier Army and Jiangning Battalion is completely different. , I must tell the truth."

"Your brother believes that forcibly attacking Dalinghe City is not enough, but besieging Dalinghe City will not have much effect in a short period of time. If Su Tiancheng leads the Jiangning Battalion to come for reinforcements, the army may have to withdraw If the emperor leads an army of 20 to conquer, if he can't achieve great results, even if he wins Dalinghe City, I think it's inappropriate."

"I have an idea, is the army besieging Dalinghe City and attacking Jinzhou, Ningyuan and even Shanhaiguan? At that time, the opportunity for the army came, and now, the siege may not be the best way, and the attack may have practical effects."

Huang Taiji nodded, and looked at Fan Wencheng beside him.

Fan Wencheng had been meditating, and when Dorgon spoke, he listened very carefully.

After Dorgon finished speaking, Fan Wencheng looked at Hauge.

Hauge spoke.

"Your majesty, I think that Uncle Fourteen's suggestion is feasible. If we attack Shanhaiguan and make a breakthrough, wouldn't the army have captured the Guan Ningjin line of defense?"

Huang Taiji frowned, a little annoyed, Haoge had followed Fan Wencheng for so long, and there was still a lack of thinking. Even if the army captured Shanhaiguan, wouldn't it matter if there were a large number of Ming troops behind him? Wouldn't the Jiangning battalion be even more troublesome? It was impossible for the sergeants to defend Shanhaiguan, and the division of troops must be considered as a whole, otherwise the strength of the army would be weakened.

Fan Wencheng felt that if Hauge succeeded to the throne, he would be far inferior to Huang Taiji, but at this time, he had to speak up.

"Your Majesty, this slave thinks that it is feasible to divide the troops. It is enough to leave 3 soldiers to besiege Dalinghe City. The army will directly attack Shanhaiguan. The Guanning Jin defense line of Ming Dynasty focuses on Shanhaiguan. The army can attack Shanhaiguan to realize the siege. As for the tactics of reinforcements, Ming never dared to lose Shanhaiguan. As long as our army attacks Shanhaiguan, the Ming army stationed in Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City must find ways to reinforce them. They cannot let Shanhaiguan appear in any danger. Under such circumstances, the army will surely be able to successfully take down Dalinghe City, and even Jinzhou and Ningyuan. Presumably our army besieged the Guanning Jin line of defense, and the Ming court knew about it, and would definitely come up with a way to defend Shanhaiguan. It is very tight, we must attack Shanhaiguan as quickly as possible, and attract the Ming army from Dalinghe City, Jinzhou and Ningyuan to come to reinforce, so our army will have a chance, as long as we occupy Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City , when the time comes, it will definitely shock the Ming Dynasty, inspire the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, and lay the best foundation for future conquests."

A smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face.

"Okay, I think this plan is very good. I have decided. Azig led an army of [-] to besiege Dalinghe City. If the Ming army came out to fight, they must fight desperately at any cost. Dorgon led [-] soldiers. , besieging Ningyuan, I will lead the army to attack Dalinghe City, if the Ming army from Dalinghe City comes to reinforce, Azig pursues, Dorgon leads the army, takes advantage of the situation to take Dalinghe City, and then the army kills Come back, wipe out the reinforcements of the Ming army, and attack Jinzhou City, this time the army is bound to take down Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, even if Su Tiancheng leads the Jiangning Battalion to come to reinforce, it will be of no avail."

Just after dawn, Hong Chengchou discovered that a large number of Hou Jin Tatars had bypassed Dalinghe City and headed towards Jinzhou. His heart began to sink, and the worst result had appeared. If they attack Shanhaiguan, it will be really dangerous, and the entire Guan Ningjin line of defense is in great danger.

At this time, Hong Chengchou finally understood why Su Tiancheng always valued Huang Taiji very much and did not dare to underestimate him.

In the General Army Mansion, Hong Chengchou summoned many officers.

"Everyone, the worst outcome has come. I am afraid that the Houjin Tatars will directly attack Shanhaiguan. If Shanhaiguan is in danger, our Ming Dynasty will be in danger. Everyone must be prepared. The army is ready to go out. After three days, leave a Ten thousand soldiers are guarding Dalinghe City, and the remaining [-] soldiers will follow me out of the city to reinforce Shanhaiguan, no matter how dangerous or sacrificed, we must keep Shanhaiguan.”

The atmosphere in the room is very depressing. Although Shanhaiguan is the strongest city, who knows if there will be any accidents. If there is an accident, what is the point of the Guan Ningjin defense line? Dalinghe City, Jinzhou and Ningyuan , are all centered on Shanhaiguan. If Shanhaiguan is lost, these places will lose their meaning, unless the army attacks the Houjin Tartars from behind. (To be continued..)
