Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1173
The army of the Ming Dynasty gathered here, and just waiting for the weather to warm up, they can swallow the Central Plains and restore the land of the Chinese nation.

Wang Yan wanted to fight decisively in the Central Plains instead of attacking North Korea first, because he was afraid that Dorgon would feel hopeless and would take the initiative to withdraw outside the pass.

Let the Qing army fight him decisively in Henan. He wanted to keep the main force of the Qing army in the Central Plains.

How much trouble did the old slave and Huang Taiji bring to the Ming Dynasty when they were nesting outside the customs.

How many elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were folded outside the pass. Baishan Heishui is the place where people grow up. They drilled into the mountains and forests. It is very difficult to find them, let alone wipe them out.

If Dorgon sees that things are not going well and chooses to withdraw from the Central Plains, the Qing army will live between the white mountains and the black waters, which will bring huge troubles to the Ming Dynasty.

Only by annihilating the main force of the Qing army, even if the remnants of the Qing army fled to the dense forests of Baishan and Heishui, it will be difficult to achieve a major event.

To attract the Qing army to the Central Plains, one is to let the Qing army know that the Ming army is going to attack Heluo, and the other is to show weakness appropriately during the attack, so that Dorgon can think that he can fight and can't scare him away.

After a few days in Wuchang, Wang Yan decided to implement the first step, and wanted the Qing army to think that the Ming army would mainly attack Henan. This is very simple, and His Royal Highness Chu Wang is very good at this.

After Wang Yan inspected the assembled armies and troops in Wuchang, he immediately set off for Nanyang. From time to time, he would appear in the front camps wearing golden helmets and armor, bearing the guard of honor of his prince.

During January, Wang Yan inspected the two big camps in Ruzhou and Xiangcheng consecutively. Every time, the flags were fluttering and the gongs and drums were noisy. It was like a folk picking a daughter-in-law. The Qing troops in Luoyang and Kaifeng watched and announced, "My king is here!"

Wang Yan's prestige spread far and wide, who in the world doesn't know it?

All of a sudden, people in Heluo were panic-stricken, and the commander-in-chief of the Qing army in Henan was still gratifying, and immediately reported to Dorgon that the king thief had arrived in Henan.

Dorgon is getting angry about the situation in Shanxi, his mouth is full of blisters, but now he is so angry that he can't even shit.

At the beginning of January, Luzhou, which had been besieged by [-] Qing troops for nearly four months, was bombarded by red cannons in many places, but it still fell.

Kong Youde and Wakda rushed into the city and slaughtered wantonly. The guard Wei Shijun died in battle, and the guard Wu Shouming and the supervisor Wang Binhui burned the yamen to death. Among the people, only the general Gao Ding ordered hundreds of elite soldiers to rush out, and then joined Wan Lian and hid in the forest.

After Kong Youde captured Luzhou, there was no obstacle, and he joined Lou Qin in Taiyuan in mid-January.

After several months of fighting, the 5000 South Route Army lost more than 7 people, and Lou Qin's troops also lost more than 11 people under the city of Taiyuan. So far, the number of Qing troops under the city of Taiyuan has increased to more than [-], and the strength of the Jin-Qing coalition forces has reached Around [-].

The Qing army pulled out Luzhou, and the anti-Qing uprising in southern Shanxi was forcibly suppressed. This was originally a good thing. The Qing army could pull out Taiyuan, Datong, Xuanfu and other cities one by one, thereby quelling the Shanxi rebellion.

It's just that it takes time. When Dorgon got the news that Wang Yan appeared in Henan, he knew that Wang Yan would not give him time.

In desperation, Dorgon saw that Taiyuan could not be attacked for a long time, so he came to Taiyuan to supervise the battle in person.

Outside the city of Taiyuan, the camp of the Qing army spread out, and white tents, like grave bags, surrounded the city of Taiyuan.

Dorgon, escorted by hundreds of white-armored cavalry, came to the outside of the Qing army camp. Lou Qin, Wakda, and Kong Youde led the generals of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han tribes out of the camp to meet him.

"I'll pay my respects to the Prince Regent!" Seeing Dorgon's carriage approaching, all the people knelt down and saluted.

Dorgon was unwell and could not ride a horse, so he could only come in a carriage. He raised the curtain of the carriage when he heard the sound, and was helped out of the carriage by the guards.

He glanced at the generals, Hauge didn't come, neither did the generals of the Kingdom of Jin, but that's fine, he thought: "The way I am now, Hauge will definitely laugh at me when he comes, it's better if he doesn't come !"

Getting off the carriage, Dorgon did not let everyone get up first, but turned his eyes to Taiyuan City three miles away.After more than two months of siege and days of shelling by the Qing army, the city was already very dilapidated, and there were many obvious collapses, but why couldn't it be taken down.

Dorgon had a gloomy face, ignored everyone, and waved his hands: "The account is talking!"

After finishing speaking, Dorgon entered the camp on foot. The generals kneeling on the ground sensed the regent's displeasure, and turned their heads to discuss for a while. Seeing Louqin and others kneeling in front standing up, they also patted the snow and stood up. Following Dorgon together with the three princes, they poured into the camp.

Knowing that Dorgon was coming, Lou Qin had already prepared a large tent for his uncle, and Dorgon moved in directly.

At this time, Dorgon sat down on a big chair covered with tiger skin, and after all the generals entered and stood on both sides, Dorgon suddenly asked angrily: "Which troops are in charge of attacking the city these days! "

The generals didn't understand Dorgon's intentions, but it could be seen from his expression that he must speak out to blame.

The siege of a city is naturally a matter for the third-class Han. The Manchu and Mongolian generals turned their gazes to the right. The two Han generals looked at each other and could only stand up. Liu Zhong is in charge of attacking the city."

Li Benshen was a member of Gao Jie's department. He was supposed to have a prosperous official career, but under the influence of Li Chengdong anyway, because the Ming army had a lot of his old acquaintances, he was guarded and ignored by the Qing court, and his official position became lower and lower.

Liu Zhong was a member of the Dashun Army, and he was also not valued by the Qing court. The soldiers and horses in his hands were gradually stripped away, weakening his strength.

Dorgon glanced at the two of them, neither of them were from Liao, and immediately said with a cold face: "Come here, take them out and kill them, to shock the army's morale, I will see who dare not attack the city with all their strength!"

When Dorgon gave an order, there were immediately white armor full of soldiers, who came in from outside the tent and wanted to arrest people.

Li Benshen and Liu Zhong didn't expect Dorgon to be so anxious, so they stood up and complained loudly, "Why should the regent kill us! It's not fair!"

The two of them were leaning against each other, but they were unwilling to be caught without a fight, and the words they said were not begging for mercy, but questioning.

"Regent, think twice!" Several Han generals standing on the right immediately said anxiously.

Dorgon couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, he wanted to kill two Han generals who failed to attack the city, to frighten the generals, but he didn't want them to be captured without a fight. The rebound of the Han generals.

These days, the Green Camp and the Han Banners who besieged Taiyuan rushed to the front, but the Manchus and horses only supervised the battle from behind. The women who were kidnapped by lust and pleasure, they paid so much but didn't get paid, were already full of anger.

In addition, it is also the Han army. Looking at the Han army of the Kingdom of Jin, they are naturally more angry.Many people were killed when they attacked the city. Dorgon didn't have a reward, and he was about to kill people when he came here, so everyone naturally quit.

It was only then that Dorgon realized that the Qing Dynasty was no longer the original Qing Dynasty, and his words were no longer so deterrent.

For a moment, Dorgon's face was ashen, and he was in a bad mood. He thought that Taiyuan couldn't be defeated because everyone didn't try their best, so he wanted to show them off, but now it didn't end well. The scene was very embarrassing for a time. It is also very heartbreaking, why did the Qing Dynasty fall to this point.

"Regent, after all, there are 2 rebels in the city, and there are more than [-] elite Datong soldiers among them. The art of war says five rules to attack, but Taiyuan was not defeated. I think they can't be entirely blamed!" Kong Youde quickly took the opportunity to plead for mercy, so as not to provoke mutiny.

Dorgon took the opportunity to get off the donkey, and changed his words: "Since you are obedient to the king and interceded, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven. Pull it out and beat twenty army sticks to warn the troops!"

Not beheading, the emotions of many Han generals eased down. Seeing that Li Benshen and Liu Zhong had saved their lives, they didn't struggle any more, and were taken out by Qi Ding.

Not long after, there was the muffled sound of military sticks coming from outside the tent. Dorgon felt the resentment of the Han general, and dared not point at the Han general. He suddenly spoke to the Mongolian Darhan Zhuolik Batu Duntai who was standing on the left. Ji Dao: "Siege the city tomorrow, and you will be on the Eight Banners of Mongolia. You must take down Taiyuan in one battle!"

After hearing this, the Mongolian on the left was stunned. How could the Mongolian warriors attack the city?
