556 Stealing Camp
Yue Tuo heard it clearly and was stunned. He was a little unimaginable. How could the Ming army go directly over Liaoyang to attack Shengjing? Is this crazy?
However, in the past few years, the Ming army was crazy that time? Even if it seemed crazy and had no rules, the final result could be proved that it was not what I saw on the surface.
Since that's the case, what were the intentions of the Ming army suddenly attacking Shengjing this time?
Thinking of this, Yue Tuo came to his senses and wanted to ask clearly how many troops the Ming army had arrived?
However, in front of him, there was still the shadow of exploring the horse.
Seeing him, his personal guard quickly reminded him: "Master, the horse has entered the palace to report!"
When Yue Tuo heard this, he left without saying a word and hurriedly chased him towards Chongzheng Hall.
When he arrived, those who were fighting for wild vegetables were driven out of Chongzheng Hall. Everyone's face was panicked and they did not quarrel about wild vegetables anymore. Seeing Yuetuo coming, some even forgot to salute.
Only a few of them under Yue Tuo were greeted by saluting and reminding him: "Master, the Ming army is coming to Shengjing!"
Yue Tuo ignored it at all and rushed into Chongzheng Hall. When he saw the provocateur in it, he happened to report it to Dorgon. He ignored it and immediately asked: "Which Ming army is it? Who commanded it? How many troops have come, and how many infantry and cyclists are?"
When the explorer heard this, he had to repeat: "Go back to Your Highness, I only know that there are at least tens of thousands of cavalry troops, and as for the others, it is not known yet."
This was the first group of surveillance horses who came to report the news, and it was impossible to find out the enemy situation clearly before they came back. Yue Tuo was also anxious and forgot about this.
When he heard this, he came to his senses and immediately said to Dorgon: "No matter what, it is time to strengthen the defense of Shengjing City!"
In fact, Dorgon was about to issue such an order, but was interrupted by Yue Tuo. At this time, he immediately sent an order to strengthen the defense of Shengjing City.
As soon as this order was passed, many Jianlu's heads appeared on the head of Shenyang City. The city gates were closed everywhere, the suspension bridges were pulled up, and martial law began to begin in the city.
Before these things were finished, in Shenyang City, he felt the earth trembling, and the sound of horse hooves rolling from afar.
At this time, the setting sun sets, dyeing the clouds in the west red, and all of them turn into fiery red.
Outside Shenyang City, a red torrent rolled in. When Shenyang City encountered the blocking, it diverted the two sides and surrounded the city.
On the top of the city, Dorgon and Yue Tuo both had their faces as if they were ashen, observing the movements of the Ming army and distinguishing the belongings of the Ming army.
The flag of "He" is the headquarters of He Renlong.
The "tiger" flag is the leader of the great power of the tiger.
The character "Zhou" is the subordinate of Zhou Yuji.
The "Wu" character is a flag, which is under the leadership of Wu Sangui.
“…”
When they distinguished the handsome flags, whether it was Dorgon or Yuetuo, their faces became very ugly, because they had already seen clearly that all the famous generals from the Ming army had come. In other words, the Emperor of Ming must have come.
The movement is so loud and coming is fierce, and this is to destroy the Qing Dynasty!
"How could this happen? Why did the Emperor of Ming launch such a big offensive at this time?" Dorgon couldn't figure it out, his face pale, and murmured to himself, "Don't the Ming Dynasty also has no food? Why don't you wait anymore? Even if you don't wait for the autumn harvest, you can wait until Japan sends troops to North Korea before thinking about fighting the Qing Dynasty!"
Yue Tuo heard it and said in annoyance: "Ming Kingdom is vast and rich, how could it be without food? I should have thought of it long ago, I should have thought of it long ago. Also, we have the Ming Kingdom's internal supporters, have you forgotten? The Emperor of Ming must have known about the alliance between Japan and my Qing Dynasty, so before the attack of Japan, I wanted to destroy our Qing Dynasty!"
Hearing his explanation, when Dorgon was about to say something, hurried footsteps came from behind him, and then a sharp voice sounded. As soon as he heard it, he knew it was the voice of an eunuch: "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager asked, may he guard Shengjing?"
Dorgon didn't have to turn around and knew that Bumubutai was anxious and could not wait to send someone to ask before he could return to the palace.
To be honest, at this moment, he really doesn't want to pay attention to that woman!
However, there was no way to stabilize the morale of the army, so I had to turn around and pretend to be confident and said to the eunuch: "Shengjing City is tall and strong, and the Ming army has not been here, but has it been captured by Shengjing?"
He pointed out that it was the last time that Wu Sangui and Kong Youde led their troops to steal the city. At that time, there were few troops, so he bluffed and then withdrew before the main force of Jianlu returned to the aid.
After sending the annoying eunuch away, Dorgon suddenly looked outside the city in a little surprised and asked Yuetuo, "Hey, why do you think, the Ming army outside the city seems to be advancing alone, and there is no trace of the infantry and military chariot camp?"
Although it was already dark at this time, because of this, if there were subsequent Ming troops on their way, they would have to use a torch. However, at the end of the east, not to mention a torch, there was not even a single flame.
However, the Ming army lit up all the torches at the four gates of Shengjing City, and the fire was blazing, so it almost helped Shengjing to illuminate for free.
"Don't forget that the Ming cavalry also advanced alone in the Battle of Guihua City." Yue Tuo said with a serious face and reminded Dorgon, who was a little relieved.
After hearing this, Dorgon nodded, as if he had responded to Yue Tuo's words, but what he said later expressed a different view: "How can Guihua City be the same as this time? The Ming cavalry outside this city suddenly arrived. Although there was no news over Liaoyang, one thing is certain that Liaoyang is definitely still in the hands of my Qing Dynasty."
Speaking of this, he paused and added: "There are 30,000 troops in Liaoyang, and the troops are not much worse than those in Shengjing. Even if he can't defeat the Ming army, he can at least be stalemate for a period of time."
Dorgon said, and at the same time, he pointed out that the Ming cavalry, which was still very moving outside the city, continued: "These cavalry abandoned food, grass and supplies, and advanced lightly. If they did not expect from Anshan Post Fort and rushed to nearly two hundred miles a day. Maybe they thought that at this time, they could replenish food, grass and supplies on site outside Shengjing City, so they had the courage to do so!"
Generally speaking, there will be no single-man army fighting. Whether it is the infantry, the chariot camp, or the cavalry, they must cooperate with each other to fight. Otherwise, if there is only the cavalry, they cannot attack; if there is only the infantry, they will be killed by the cavalry, and if there is only the cavalry, they will be exhausted for one day.
So Yue Tuo was confused and immediately asked Dorgon: "The Ming cavalry suddenly arrived outside the city and could not attack the city. Could it be that they were waiting for their infantry and chariot camp to conquer Liaoyang before coming to Shengjing to meet up? The purpose of doing this is just to prevent us from escaping?"
"It's very likely!" Dorgon nodded after hearing this, "Apart from that, I can't think of any other possibility. If I just let this cavalry attack the city, although there are more than 20,000, I don't want to conquer Shengjing!"
When he said this, he was determined and obviously very confident.
Speaking of this, he continued to analyze: "When the Ming army wants to conquer the Liaoyang side, I believe that with Prince Yu's strength, I can hold on for at least ten days and half a month, and the food and grass will not be exhausted. If the Ming army does not collapse the Liaoyang city wall, it will be impossible to defeat it!"
After saying that, suddenly, a name flashed through Dorgon's mind. After hesitating for a moment, he added: "Even if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty personally directed the attack on Liaoyang, it would take at least five or six days to fight, right? After all, even if it was 30,000 pigs, it would take a lot of time to stand and let the Ming army kill him!"
After hearing this, Yue Tuo did not answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he still frowned and said, "I always feel that the Emperor of Ming must know me, the Qing Dynasty again, and this sudden action must have been decided to fight again. I don't know why, but I always feel... I always feel that the Qing Dynasty is about to perish!"
That is, Yue Tuo dares to say such a ruthless heart in front of others. If it were someone else, he would definitely be punished.
When Dorgon heard this, he immediately felt his right eyelid jumping up, and it jumped very hard. He would never be smaller than Yue Tuo's fear of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
However, he couldn't be the same as Yue Tuo. Otherwise, if he thought so, then the Qing Dynasty would really be destroyed!
Therefore, Dorgon immediately retorted: "Or as you said, the Emperor of Ming knew that Japan was coming, so he had to go ahead and wanted to solve my Qing Dynasty before the Japanese army arrived. This time, he might have to drive the ducks on the shelves. Otherwise, when our Qing Dynasty and Japan unite, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to take advantage of it!"
I have to say that this is also a possibility and cannot be ruled out!
However, Yue Tuo was still unhappy. He sighed and suddenly asked, "The Ming army is outside the city. How many days can the food in Shengjing City last?"
Hearing this, Dorgon turned his head and looked back outside the city, staring at the movements of the Ming army. After a while, he suddenly said coldly: "I bet that the Ming army will not attack the city, so the food in the city should be saved. Except for the rotating soldiers who eat enough, the rest is the same as before!"
After saying that, a ferocious expression appeared on his face and said with hatred: "I don't believe it anymore. How much food can these Ming soldiers outside the city bring? How many days can they spend outside Shengjing City?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Yue Tuo could respond to his words, he heard heavy footsteps and the sound of armor coming from behind him.
When the two of them heard the movement, they turned around and saw that it was the commander of the guards, Obai, who had been guarding the palace, had come over.
Seeing the two of them turn to look, he said to the two princes: "According to the imperial edict of the Queen Mother, watch the movements of the Ming army outside the city!"
Hearing this, Dorgon was a little dissatisfied. Obviously, Bumubutai did not believe his previous words, and was still worried, so he sent Obai here.
However, although he was dissatisfied, he still wanted to give Bumubutai some face in front of him, so he was not angry.
Oboi, regardless of Dorgon and Yuetuo, went to watch the formation. After a while, he suddenly spoke: "The Ming army is coming, and he will definitely be exhausted. We will definitely steal the camp tonight!"
