Chapter 420 The choice of life and death(1/2)
Fighting like war is a life-threatening thing. But being able to do it alone is not enough, and one has to know how to use one's brain.
On the battlefield, whoever dares to fight for his life will win with his brain.
This is what Huang Taiji thinks he is better than other brothers.
Those bastards have grown their heads just to look taller. As for using their brains to think about problems, they still have to rely on themselves.
After returning to the Central Army's tent, Huang Taiji spoke directly: "What do you think about this Daling City?"
Amin said: "What else can I do? Just attack the damn Daling City directly. Why bother so much? As for what the Khan said about surrounding Daling City and then attacking their reinforcements, it is not a delay, right?"
Manguertai glared at Amin and said, "I know how to fight, which flag to fight?"
The meaning of Mangourtai is very simple. There are only a few people in the Eight Banners of Manzhou. The Zhenghuang Banner and the Inlaid Yellow Banner led by Huangtaiji are not the original Zhenghuang and Inlaid Yellow Banners, but are changed from the Zhengbai and Inlaid White Banners.
The Zhenghuang Banner and the Inlaid Yellow Banner, which were originally led by Dorgon's brother Duoduo, have also been renamed to the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner.
Moreover, in order to disgust Dorgon and Duoduo, Huang Taiji simply cut the Zhengbai Banner out of Duoduo and gave it to Dorgon.
The current Zhenghuang Banner and the Inlaid Yellow Banner were already damaged when Huangtaiji entered the pass and attacked Zunhua last time. In order to keep it confidential and to gain the greatest benefit for himself, Huangtaiji directly brought the Eight Banners of Manzhou when he entered the pass and attacked Zunhua without bringing the Eight Banners of Han and Eight Banners of Mongolia.
The situation of the entire Eight Banners is very confusing now.
Although Dodo and Dorgon, who were supposed to be the strongest, are now on the same line as Huang Taiji, they are not in the same mind. The most correct statement is to be in harmony with each other's appearance.
Huang Taiji's own strength was damaged when he entered the pass, but he was also the second strongest among the brothers.
As for the old fox Daishan, he himself led the Zhenghong Banner and the Inlaid Red Banner, but he didn't even look at the same appearance as Huang Taiji, and he couldn't count on it at all.
What remains are the Zhenglan Banner he took and the Inlaid Blue Banner he brought by Amin.
Now Amin, who has no brainstorm, has directly attacked Dalinghe City, so the question is here.
Which flag should be used to fight?
Even if we were carrying the Han army flag and Mongolian flag that had already been woven into a banner, the combat effectiveness of these two flags was just that and we couldn't count on it at all.
Amin, who was stared at by Mangourtai, looked as if he had just come to his senses, but just smiled awkwardly.
Huang Taiji said, "Okay, stop arguing. If you only rely on a fierce attack and rush in war, then things like strategy will be useless."
After taking a sip of the longevity cream, Huang Taiji said lightly: "You have never learned the military books that Father Khan gave you at first glance."
Looking at the confused look on everyone's face, Huang Taiji suddenly felt superior and smiled and said, "How did Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao? He broke Wuchao first. Why did he defeat Wuchao? He pretended that Yuan general Jiang Qi led his troops to Wuchao to protect the grain, so he got it."
After putting the longevity cream that had been taken aside, Huang Taiji sat upright and ordered: "After midnight tonight, Jierharang would take Ben Khan's inlaid yellow flag and go south fifty miles. After noon tomorrow, he would change his Ming army clothes and come.
After tomorrow, Amin directly led the Han army flag to attack the city first, and ended at the end of Si, giving him time to rest in the defenders in Dalinghe City.
After noon, Jirhalang led his army to attack, and Ben Khan led the Zhenghuang Banner to attack him. If the Ming army in the city goes to fight and you take advantage of the situation to attack him, Dalinghe City will definitely come down."
Daishan is naturally irresistible. Anyway, the main use of this matter is the Huangtaiji Zhenghuang Banner and the Inlaid Yellow Banner.
Dorgon and Dodo also had the same idea.
Amin was shocked.
In this way, the Dalinghe City may be taken down by Huang Taiji. How should I deal with it then?
But now I can't pass the message to the defenders in the city.
Although even if Daling City is broken, it has nothing to do with him, Huang Taiji's strength will be greatly enhanced by then, and his prestige in the army will even further increase.
What should I do then? After all, Huang Taiji has long disliked him.
Just when Amin was struggling, Jirgalang had already taken the order and left.
The defenders in the city naturally didn't know about Huang Taiji and others' discussions, but instead had a headache about food.
Zhang Cunren said: "Master, the food in this city is gone. Even this cow can be killed almost. In two days, I'm afraid I won't even have to drink beef soup."
Zu Dashou said with a gloomy expression: "What about grass roots and tree bark? This is the time when these things are available. Don't tell me that there is no grass roots and bark in the city."
Before Zhang Cunren could speak, Zu Dale said directly: "Master, let alone grassroots and barks, there is no food for even the insects on the trees and the mice on the ground.
After two days, the beef soup was gone, the soldiers were drinking the northwest wind except for human flesh."
Zu Dashou's expression was even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "According to the journey, Wu Xiang and the others should have arrived in the past two days. If there are no reinforcements, at worst, they will eat human flesh. Didn't Prince Yue say that he is ambition to eat the meat of the barbarians, and we are learning from the ancestors!"
He Kegang said: "Since that's the case, it's better to get some corpses back tomorrow while Jiannu attacked the city, so as not to be anxious and have nowhere to look for it."
Zu Dashou nodded and said, "Then be careful and wait until tomorrow to see the situation of Jiannu's attack on the city. At worst, you can put Jiannu closer and then fight him. You must keep more."
Seeing Zu Dashou's expression was so vicious that the other generals were shocked, and they immediately responded in unison.
Just as the next day passed, the sound of horns and drums sounded in Jiannu camp.
Another round of fighting, another round of flesh and blood flying.
One side was thinking of taking down Dalinghe City earlier, while the other side was trying hard with the mentality of not losing an inch of land.
He Kegang licked his dry lips, and said hoarsely: "Founding the situation today, Jiannu must leave behind 1,800 people.
These slutty kids are also cruel enough to fill their lives in this way.”
Zu Dashou's expression was also not very good: "Of course they are cruel enough. Look at how different these dead Tartars are from the usual Tartars?"
After saying that, Zu Dashou bent down and grabbed the body and threw it in front of He Kegang.
He Kegang's eyes shrank and blurted out: "Han people!"
Zu Dashou said: "That's right, it's the Han people. It seems that the rumors that the dog Jiannu, who has been rumored, are woven into flags of the Han people. It's true."
If it weren't for the corpse's head that looked as if it were the blue scalp on its head, and the awkward money rat-tail braid that looked like it, no one would have expected that the Han army would have been woven into a flag.
You should know what the status of the Han people in Liaodong?
Nikan is a slave.
Jiannu never regarded slaves as his own people.
In the eyes of Jiannu, the Jianzhou Jurchens are naturally their own people, and the Mongolian tribes, especially Korqin, are also considered relatives of their own family.
As for the Han people, it’s fine, that is, the large animals that can walk and speak are no different from cattle and horse, and are even worse than cattle and horse.
But the current situation is that some Han people entered the banner, and even from clothing to equipment, there is no difference from ordinary Jiannu.
How many Han people are there in Liaodong?
He Kegang said: "Since that's the case, the news must be passed to the capital."
Zu Dashou smiled and said, "Don't be stupid. The Jinyiwei in Liaodong probably has passed the news back a long time ago. You should think about it and let's do it yourself."
He Kegang's expression seemed indifferent at this time: "What can we do? As long as we eat human flesh before reinforcements arrive, we will never turn back. Then we will rush to the battlefield and die."
Zu Dashou said with a dark face: "Are you stupid? If you don't talk about eating human flesh, will the soldiers be so stupid that they will tell them out?
Do you have to die if you can live well? Do you think you are Biao?"
He Kegang was choked and had nothing to say.
The army that eats human flesh can only be called the beast army, but He Kegang feels that even if he eats human flesh and becomes the beast army, he has three more human nature than Jiannu.
Of course I have a more reason to survive. After all, Jiannu has not died yet.
At least it's better to live without a single life.
But He Kegang felt that there was little hope for this matter.
After getting addicted to human flesh, can the soldiers be like before? Can His Majesty and the people of the Ming Dynasty accept such a cannibal army?
He Kegang was a little worried and entangled for a moment.
He Kegang was struggling, and then he heard Zu Dashou laughing wildly.
Looking up at Zu Dashou, He Kegang asked, "Why is the Grand Marshal laughing?"
Zu Dashou pointed to the smoke and dusty land in the south and smiled and said, "I just said Wu Xiang and the others were coming soon. Look what that is?
Hell, I don’t have to eat human flesh, hahahaha!”
After laughing wildly, Zu Dashou directly ordered: "Da Le, you lead a army to pick up Wu Xiang and the others!"
At this time, smoke and dust were rolling in the south of Dalinghe City. Except for the Wu banner that was faintly visible and the Ming army clothing that appeared between the smoke and dust, nothing else was visible.
He Kegang was also overjoyed and said with a smile: "It's time to get a good shot inside, it's enough for him to feel good about Jiannu."
At this time, Jirgalang had already led his army back to the camp. Before he could come to eat, he heard the loud drums on the top of Dalinghe City.
Jirgalang was overjoyed, but his face looked furious and shouted, "What a courage! Come with your master, kill all the barbarians!"
Zu Dale, you can tell that it is a brotherly relationship with Zu Dashou by looking at his name. He is accustomed to being arrogant on weekdays. After all, the Guanning Army is up to the final decision.
Seeing Jirgalang being in front of him, Zu Dale, who was blinded by military merits, was overjoyed and shouted: "The dog is here to take his life!"
Ideals are often full, but reality is often skinny.
Zu Dale thought very well, no matter whether he captured Jiergalang alive or killed Jiergalang, even as long as he could kill Jiannu and had a certain identity, his trip would not be in vain.
But Zu Dale never expected that the little white face who came out slanted had such a huge strange force. In less than two rounds, he was defeated.
Zu Dale could no longer be happy about the more than 2,000 cavalry he brought out. Basically, the last cavalry force in the entire Dalinghe City, and the rest were all infantry.
However, it is too late to say anything now. No matter how secretly I hate myself for being reckless, my big mistake has been made and irreversible.
To be continued...
