512 Up and down

At Yaozhou Post, Dorgon had already led his troops to surround Yaozhou Post with Duoduo, Yuetuo, and Haoge and other slave chiefs.

When the two armies met, these slave chiefs were all happy, while the other Jianlu cheered happily. It can be said that there was a rare occasion in the land of Liaodong that the cheers of Jianlu were so loud! In other words, Jianlu's morale has risen to the highest level in recent years!

Dorgon looked at the flag of the Ming emperor flying in Yaozhou Post and sighed with relief: "This time, I finally caught a big fish. If we win this battle, we, the Qing Dynasty, should be able to turn over!"

"Thanks to the Regent's strategy, this is a great situation now!" Duoduo listened and praised him without any burden.

For him, Dorgon is good, so he will be good too.

After hearing what he said, Yue Tuo and Haoge would have to say a few sarcastic words and destroy them. However, at this time, both of them had no intention. They were both smiling and staring at Mingjun in Yaozhouyi. Their eyes were like hunters looking at the prey in the cage.

Dorgon saw the reactions of the two of them and understood them very well. Only by taking the Qing Dynasty to continuously win battles can they be suppressed. No matter what he wants to do in the future, as long as he wins enough battles or big enough, no one can object to his own.

Thinking of this, he withdrew his thoughts and turned to the Qing princes around him and said, "I just saw that the fortifications that besieged Yaozhou Post are not enough. Don't be afraid of trouble. Just like when I surrounded Dalinghe City before, there must be all walls and trenches, and go around Yaozhou Post. One circle is not enough, just two circles. Always make sure that no matter what method the Ming army uses, it will be futile. A Ming army will not be rushed to jump over the wall and escape by the Ming emperor!"

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Jianlu attacked and Zu Dashou defended Dalinghe City. At that time, although Huang Taiji had the conditions for a strong attack, he did not use this method, but used the method of siege. He dug four trenches around the city and built a wall more than one meter high, surrounding Dalinghe City like an iron barrel. Finally, he forced Zu Dashou to surrender for the first time, and He Kegang was also killed by Zu Dashou in this battle.

The Yaozhou Post is not big now. Although the Ming army has expanded its defense line with side vans, no matter how it is, it cannot be bigger than the Dalinghe City in the past. Using this trick, not only is it easy to be familiar with the road, but Dorgon also believes that this is against the Ming army with strong strength, and it can also ensure that even the Ming army in Yaozhou Post cannot escape!

Hearing his words, the others nodded, this was the safest.

So, the job was immediately assigned.

It was said that this kind of physical work was done by Han people in the past. However, the Han people in the Qing Dynasty were not replenished after they were plundered from the pass in the early 12th year of Chongzhen. Now the Han people in the Han people are even more able to escape and die. Most of the remaining ones were asked by Kong Youde to open up land and farm for the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the physical work is now done by the Mongols and other tribes. As for the Manchus, their strongest combat power is naturally to guard against the Ming army in Yaozhou Post where they saw the situation was not good, so they took advantage of the situation that the siege had not been completed.

However, Jianlu was obviously worried.

Surrounded by many generals and military supervisors, Emperor Chongzhen was drinking tea on the top of Yaozhou City, watching Jianlu outside the city busy, without any fear. Those who didn't know thought he was a supervisor and were staring at Jianlu outside the city working!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was not worried or afraid, but the formation of Jianlu made many generals feel unsure. This kind of worry was the most important thing about He Renlong and Cao Bianjiao who were in Liaodong for a year.

After watching for a while, He Renlong tried to report to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, are there any reinforcements coming?"

If reinforcements are coming, attacking inside and outside will be a good plan to defeat Jianlu. This is He Renlong's idea.

However, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and shook his head and said, "There is no extra food, grass and supplies, and I can't transfer my troops to come."

"..." He Renlong was stunned when he heard this. What should he do now?

Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao thought of the emperor's wise and magical martial arts, and quickly replied: "Does Your Majesty have other arrangements?"

"Yeah!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said no.

Although the other generals had no other ideas based on their trust in the emperor, they were still a little curious in this situation and didn't know what method the emperor would take to defeat so many Jianlu?

Emperor Chongzhen looked at their expressions and understood what they were thinking. Thinking that he was surrounded by his confidant generals and was not afraid of leaking the secret when he said it. He immediately smiled and said, "It's time to tell you about it."

When they heard this, almost everyone, including the surrounding military supervisors, Jinyiwei's lieutenant, etc., had their ears raised, wanting to hear what the emperor had in his wonderful ideas?

When Emperor Chongzhen arranged for Wu Sangui to perform the rescue and trouble mission before, he naturally had to reward him with a Class A eavesdropping seed. At this time, he had learned about Wu Sangui's situation through eavesdropping seeds.

As everyone was looking forward, they heard Emperor Chongzhen say: "I have sent Wu Sangui, the Beijing camp, to lead more than 3,500 cavalrymen to attack Jianlu's granary in the Liaohe Plain for thousands of miles, and join Kong Youde to build Tieling together and threaten Shenyang. If I expected it was good, it would probably take a few days for Jianlu to get an urgent report from Shenyang!"

Speaking of this, no matter how many generals were surprised, he pointed his hand at the Jianli outside the city and said, "If this Jianli wants to surround Yaozhou Post, you must first have enough food. Please look at it. The number of Jianli is more than twice that of our army, and this has become their fatal weakness. Originally, the slave chief thought that after Kong Youde's harvest, he could support some of the food and use it for winter. However, now it is gone..."

Only Lu Xiangsheng and Emperor Chongzhen knew about Kong Youde's return to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, when they heard that Kong Youde was the inner supporter, and Jianlu had gathered so many troops in Yaozhou Post, the emptiness of the heartland of Liaodong was imagined. They were all overjoyed. The emperor was a desperate plan to remove firewood from the cauldron! Jianlu was still caught, but he didn't know that he was still complacent. The level of leading troops was not at the same level at all. How could he fight?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen continued to say, "Look at it again, the morale of the Mongols in the Jianlu army outside the city is obviously lower than that of the Jianlu. After the news from Shenyang came, even if the slave chief gritted his teeth and insisted, the Mongols must know that Jianlu was going to be finished and would definitely not die. If only the Jurchens were left in the army outside the city, how many could there be?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked around them again and said with a smile: "I have paved the road ahead for you and others. I will not force you to destroy Jianlu in this battle, but at least I must see Jianlu's body, from Yaozhou Post to Haizhou, can it be done?"

At this time, the generals suddenly realized again. It turned out that the emperor's intention to lead the army to withdraw to Yaozhou Post was to wait for Jianlu to retreat, and to calmly kill Jianlu infantry and stage another previous pursuit!

This time, the emperor's plan included internal support, regular soldiers, strange soldiers, advances and retreats. He had already dug a big hole and was waiting for Jianlu. It can be said that he was completely following Jianlu's nose! He stood in Jianlu's shoes and thought about it. Everyone around found that he could not handle these chain moves at all.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but be convinced by Emperor Chongzhen again! Therefore, they were all looking forward to the moment when Jianlu was desperate, coming soon.

Of course, at this time, Jianlu thought that their lives had reached their peak.

Originally, Yuetuo, Haoge and Duoduo's subordinates had already dug trenches, but this time it would be easier to do it, connecting the previous trenches.

The leader of Jianlu was constantly cheering his subordinates: "Dig a point wider, the hope of the Ming army escaping is one point!"

"Dig a little deeper, and you will destroy one more Ming army!"

"Dig an extra ditch and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is the turtle in the jar!"

“…”

Hearing such a slogan, it’s true that he is really motivated. At least at this time, the morale of Jianlu is very high.

However, there are also hidden worries.

Just now, several slave chiefs returned to the central army's tent, and Yue Tuo first said to Dorgon: "Our army lacks food and supplies, so some need to be allocated!"

"I have three days left, but now they are all going to dig trenches, and I guess they can only last one day!" Haoge immediately shouted.

After hearing this, Duoduo said briefly: "You can support four more days!"

Of the three, he lost the infantry, so he had the least food to eat and had a little more food left.

When Dorgon heard this, he frowned. However, before he could speak, Yue Tuo added: "It is already autumn now. If there is no food to feed the war horses, they will probably lose a lot!"

When Dorgon heard this, his head hurt again. However, it was a great time now, and he must not give up halfway. Therefore, he immediately replied: "I brought some, and after one point, I should be able to support them for ten days. As for horse materials, there should be no need for too many war horses in this battle. If it doesn't work, concentrate on the use of elite cavalry. If other war horses are killed, they can also let the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty eat meat."

The food and grass brought by them are difficult to guarantee even if they last ten days. This is definitely a disaster for a large army. The war horses cannot be preserved, which is as expected. After all, the cost of raising horses is too high.

"Ten days are not enough, right?" Yue Tuo said with a serious expression after a moment of silence, "Don't let our soldiers start to go hungry before the Ming army's food and grass are exhausted!"

When Haoge heard this, he opened his mouth and showed a grey smile that was even worse than crying, "Haha, if you really want this, you will be laughed at by Minggou to death!"

Dorgon looked at the two of them and reached out to wave their hands, indicating that they didn't have to worry, and said to them: "Ajige has arrived in Haizhou, and he can bring some food here too. In addition, I have already explained that after King Gongshun's harvest, he will transport the food immediately. If the food is not enough, let him transport it again. No matter what, he must persist until the end of the war!"

The Liaohe Plain is the granary of the Qing Dynasty. At least half of the grain in the Qing Dynasty will be produced from there. Several people present know this.

Therefore, after Dorgon finished speaking, Yue Tuo immediately said: "I guess it has been collected at this time, and it will take time to transport it here. You should send someone to urge me!"

After hearing this, Dorgon nodded and said, "Of course, I will send someone to urge you immediately!"

After saying that, send a messenger immediately.

After finishing this matter, Duoduo said, "After the fortifications that besieged the Ming army are completed, the food supply of some soldiers can be reduced, so that they can last for a few days!"

This is also a solution. Dorgon nodded and said, "The siege is 10% strong. I will patrol the soldiers. Let some soldiers who are not suitable for war go back first, leaving only enough elite troops to deal with the Ming army. In this way, some food can be saved."

After saying this, he suddenly raised his voice and smiled and said, "No matter what, the Qing Dynasty must be united and work together to win this war and win the future of the Qing Dynasty!"

Hearing this, thinking that the situation is very favorable, the several slave chiefs have relaxed a lot together.

So they discussed the details of the war, such as when will the Ming army break through, whether they are waiting for the night or when? Where are there defensive loopholes, where should they strengthen their defense, etc.

However, Jianlu obviously wasted his efforts. The strengthening of night defense resulted in nothing happening overnight, and the Ming army showed no signs of breaking through at all.

This made Dorgon feel a little worried, because this situation was really abnormal.

After confirming that the horses scattered a hundred miles away and no reinforcements from Ming Kingdom arrived, Dorgon breathed a little relieved.

Looking at the Ming army in Yaozhou Post, he couldn't help but think of the most shameful battle in his life: the Battle of Tashan.

In that battle, he was surrounded by the Emperor of Ming. His idea was to break through the siege at the first time, but he was ambushed by the Ming army.

Before, he thought that there was a traitor, but no matter what, he could not find out. He was thinking, could it be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty happened to be counted.

The Emperor of Ming should be impressed by the Battle of Tashan. He probably thought that if he broke through immediately, he would be prepared and could not break through. Therefore, the Emperor of Ming would hold on his troops first and pretend that he would not break through. When his defense relaxed, he would suddenly start breaking through?

Dorgon thought so, and he felt that it was possible.

However, for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy when facing the Ming emperor in Yaozhou Post.

Before I could figure out what was going on, I heard something coming.
