741 How to fight this battle

"Well, as expected!" Emperor Chongzhen replied with relief when he saw this.

When Hai Lanzhu saw him, she was silent for a moment and said quietly: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has this weapon, but in fact... it's almost the same as me or not!"

Originally, she thought that she would play a big role in this offensive and defensive battle in Gaizhou. After all, she could tell Emperor Chongzhen about the news in time, and the impact on the war can be imagined. But who knew that the Ming army had such a big killing weapon, and it would be easy to defend Gaizhou. Whether or not she wanted her news was actually not a big deal.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard her words, he immediately understood Hai Lanzhu's mood at this moment. After thinking about it for a moment, he replied to her: "How is it possible? Your role is very great!"

"Haha, stop comforting me!" Hai Lanzhu said with a wry smile in her heart.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little helpless when he saw this, so he had to explain to her: "Do you know how much money you spent in this battle just now? This war is just about money! Although I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, I am still poor now! Therefore, such defense can't be seen a few times..."

When Hai Lanzhu heard that he told her this, she couldn't help but feel moved. Just imagine, if it weren't for the good relationship, or if Emperor Chongzhen had himself in his heart, how could he cry to himself poor? Even if he really had no money and was really difficult, he would cover up this?

Thinking of this, her mood suddenly improved. In fact, almost everyone knows that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was short of money, otherwise, would the previous Ming army encounter be fake!

Hai Lanzhu actually didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen didn't tell the truth to her just now. Like the way she defended the city just now, she used so many gunpowder weapons at once. This kind of defense was not just a few times, but only such ability was just one time!

It is precisely because of this that we have always shown that the enemy is weak, fighting for the increase in casualties on the city, and pretending to be soon captured by Jianlu, attracting as many troops as possible to gather under the city, to use this move. However, from the actual effect, the expected effect has indeed been achieved, and the money has not been spent in vain!

Hai Lanzhu also thought about it while quickly comforting Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will continue to inquire about the news and inform you in time!"

"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen responded immediately, "The ultimate goal of launching this Gaizhou war is not to occupy Gaizhou, but to consume as much strength as Jianlu can. Therefore, the Gaizhou war is actually not just Gaizhou. Don't I have a chat group? Therefore, the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army must move together to live up to my chat group, consume the most likely way, and attack Jianlu's strength, restore Liaodong as soon as possible, and restore peace to the world, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but praise him when she heard this.

After she exited the chat group, her mood obviously improved a lot. She looked at Buhe and asked, "Well, what will Jianlu do next?"

Buhe felt the change in his daughter's emotions and immediately guessed that she might have been talking to the Emperor of Ming. Although she didn't know what she said, it should be a good thing to look at her daughter's emotions. He didn't ask, but looked towards Huang Taiji and said with some concern: "I'm afraid... I'm going to break up completely!"

As he expected, Huang Taiji's face was extremely ugly at this time. He put his hopes on the slam of the sky and went down to Gaizhou City, but he did not expect that he was so prepared. Seeing that victory was in sight, he suddenly suffered such heavy losses! Not to mention that such casualties could not bear it, but this failure had a great impact!

For a moment, he was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do next! This was the first time in his battle career!

Seeing Huang Taiji in a daze and not giving further orders, Dai Shan turned to see the crowds of people retreating from Gaizhou City. He sighed in his heart, and was also very worried, what should the Qing Dynasty do next?

At the same time, he had other concerns, because he knew that if he hadn't suggested attacking with all his might, the loss might not have been so great. In the final analysis, he would have been responsible for such a big defeat. But he just didn't know if Huang Taiji would settle the account with him?

Fan Wencheng, who was beside him, came to his senses at this time. Before, he did think that the city was about to break out, so he advised Huang Taiji that he could spend the night in the city tonight. He really didn't expect that the situation would reverse so quickly!

At this time, after savoring the embarrassment of being slapped in the face, he immediately started to think about what happened next. He knew that Huang Taiji needed his "military advisor" to come up with ideas.

Yue Tuo hurried back to Huang Taiji and reported loudly before calling everyone here back to his mind: "Your Majesty, our army has lost nearly two thousand people, and the Mongolian tribes have suffered more than seven thousand people!"

These are all real and gone. The siege army has a total of about 30,000 people. This time the loss is nearly one-third. How can I fight this battle? Should I fight? It all needs Huang Taiji to make a decision!

Huang Taiji had known that the losses were heavy, but at this time he heard Yue Tuo's report, he was still a little unexpected. There was no blood on his fat face, and his little eyes glanced at the retreating soldiers. He knew in his heart that morale must have a great impact, so it was impossible to organize a siege immediately. So he had to issue an order: "Go back to the camp and rest!"

"Your Majesty, be careful of those Mongols!" Fan Wencheng heard this and quickly made a statement, showing his existence.

After hearing this, Huang Taiji turned around and looked at the Mongolians, nodded slightly, and ordered Dai Shan: "After returning to the camp, immediately grasp the leaders of all Mongolian tribes!"

After saying that, he never stayed far away for a long time. He immediately turned his head and left quickly, as if he could not see the embarrassing situation, and his worries would be gone.

On the head of Gaizhou City, Cao Bianjiao had just heard the report of his generals and turned to Gao Yingyuan and ordered: "Our army killed thirty-six people in this battle, rewarded thirty-five people, and injured 142 people slightly. Nearly 100,000 enemies were killed, of which about 2,000 Jurchens were about 2,000, and the rest were Han army and Mongols."

If it weren't for luring the enemy into the deep and letting the enemy squeeze as much as possible under the city, there wouldn't be so many casualties. However, the results of this battle were so huge. The damage of the two sides, no matter when compared to that historical period, could be said to be a great victory! If the emperor hadn't made an analysis in advance, Cao Bianjiao would have thought that Jianlu had suffered heavy losses and would have withdrawn his troops!

After Emperor Chongzhen obtained this battle, he immediately informed Lu Xiangsheng of the Dongjiang Army through a chat group and Cao Wenzhao of the Ning Cavalry Army. With the announcement of the two main generals, the morale of the two armies suddenly increased!
