557 One Night Glow
"No!" When Dorgon and Yue Tuo heard this, they opposed in unison.
After hearing this, Oboi immediately asked, "Why not? Now our army is in a low spirit and panic. If we don't take the opportunity to win a battle, how can Shengjing defend it?"
Oboi has always been known for his bravery, but except for the first time to attack Shangpi Island and defeat the Ming army, he has never fought a decent war since then. He was given the name of Batulu by Huang Taiji, but he has always been responsible for guarding the palace.
Although the last time, Huang Taiji secretly sent him out to ambush and kill the Dongjiang Army, but the Dongjiang Army was not deceived, and Oboi returned empty-handed.
This time, Bumubutai was very panicked and asked Yu Aobai, the commander of the guards. In order to follow the empress dowager's heart, he ran out to see the situation and proposed to take the initiative to fight out and catch the Ming army off guard.
Hearing his back, Dorgon immediately asked seriously: "How many soldiers can you pick out in the darkness of our army that can see clearly in the darkness?"
Hearing this, Aobai was speechless. In the past two years, due to the lack of food and grass in the Qing Dynasty, more and more people could not see things clearly at night. As Dorgon questioned, there were very few people who could still see things clearly at night. Unless he was not guarding the city, he would never be able to pick out a few people to go out to fight the Ming army.
Seeing that Oboi was like this, Dorgon continued to say to Oboi seriously: "Also, the Ming army is rushing to attack. Haven't you ever thought about guarding against our army's night attack? Maybe the Ming cavalry won't be able to attack, but just think about our army taking the initiative to leave the city! You will be caught in the Ming army's treacherous plan!"
Dorgon felt a pain in this regard.
Thinking back to the battle of Tashan, he just wanted to lead the army to break through the siege as soon as possible. As a result, the Emperor of Ming had already opened his pockets and waited for him, and the fight made him wiped out!
Yue Tuo was on the side and nodded in agreement with Dorgon's words: "Now our army has only so many troops, how can we afford to lose?"
Hearing these words, Oboi looked at the Ming army outside the city again, and took the thoughts Dorgon and Yuetuo instilled in him to see, and found that the Ming army seemed to be really not afraid of night attacks, and even the many flaws exposed by the Ming army seemed to be intentional.
Thinking of this, Oboi became silent.
On TV in later generations, he was portrayed as a reckless and powerful minister, which was not true. In other words, he was in power and thought that he could do whatever he wanted. The real Oboi was not only brave and good at fighting, but also had no simple mind. Otherwise, how could he become the four major ministers and kill the other three?
"You go back and report to the Empress Dowager, and you say that Liaoyang is in front of you, the infantry and vehicle camp that Ming Dynasty will be delayed for ten days and half a month." Seeing this, Dorgon emphasized again, "I have sent Ying'erdai to urge Japan before. I guess when the Emperor of Ming Dynasty arrives in Shengjing, you will hear the news of the Japanese army attacking North Korea. At that time, the siege of Shengjing will definitely be resolved!"
No matter what, just comfort the woman first and don’t let her make trouble again.
But what he said was not unreasonable. At least this idea was also possible after discussing with Yue Tuo.
Seeing this, Obai respectfully accepted the order and retreated back to the palace.
The so-called lonely city cannot be defended. In the Qing Dynasty, except for the Liaoyang troops, the troops from other places were nothing, and they could not come to support Shengjing at all. Although there was still a certain amount of troops on Haoge's side, Haoge wanted to protect the most important food and grass, so it was impossible for him to come to support Shengjing.
Therefore, the Japanese army became the only hope for Jianlu. Moreover, in Jianlu’s imagination, if the Japanese attacked, the scale of troops would definitely not be small. Even if there were no 100,000, there should be at least 50,000 or 60,000, right?
The population of Japan is much higher than that of the Qing Dynasty. No matter how wise and powerful the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was, he encountered a huge Japanese army. If he dared to abandon it and just wanted to destroy the Qing Dynasty, he would not be afraid of losing both sides and being picked up by Japan?
At this time, Jianlu thought that they had no way out to defend their capital. When the Ming army attacked Shengjing, the Qing Dynasty would fight against the enemy. Even if the Ming army could conquer Shengjing, it would definitely suffer heavy losses!
I believe that the wise and magical emperor of the Ming Dynasty would definitely not dare to bear this price!
Dorgon and Yue Tuo thought so, so they passed on this idea, encouraging the Qing warriors to stick to the city and wait for the Ming army to retreat.
The arrangement at night even drew all the soldiers who could see things clearly under the night, and strictly prevented the Ming army from stealing the city.
It’s true that on the Ming army, several generals were fighting for each other’s merits, so some people tried to steal the city, but they paid the price of more than 30 soldiers who died or injured.
When Dorgon heard the news, he hurriedly sent an order to show that the army stole the city at night and was repelled by the Qing warriors, and countless casualties were injured. Anyway, what he said, he described this war as a rare victory over the Ming war in the Qing Dynasty in recent years.
Most of the Jianlu didn't know the details of the night war. Although they thought the battle report was a bit exaggerated, the estimate of the real losses of the Ming army was suddenly increased. In this way, let alone the morale of Jianlu suddenly increased.
Even after Bumubutai heard the news, he hugged the little emperor and felt relieved. He even showed goodwill to Dorgon to compensate and apologized for not believing her yesterday.
To be honest, the Ming army is at the city now, unlike the last time, she really feels fear that she has never felt before. Just her orphan and widowed mother, how many people can care about the mother and the mother in a critical moment?
Therefore, for her and her son, Shengjing must be kept. Otherwise, if Shengjing City leaves, who will recognize them?
Dorgon's side, seeing that his long-term sluggish morale finally improved, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He immediately sent another order, indicating that the army's spirit had been depressed and there was no food and grass outside the city. In this case, the Ming cavalry would definitely be difficult to achieve. As long as Prince Yu in Liaoyang could hold back the Ming infantry, the Qing Dynasty would win this battle!
As for whether Prince Yu could hold back the Ming Dynasty's infantry, he analyzed from several aspects: what to wait for labor, what is strong in the city, what is strong in military strength, etc. Anyway, it sounds like a good idea. It is true that the Qing army soldiers in Shengjing City are really good. The more you think about it, the more you think the Qing Dynasty has a great chance of winning.
However, their joy only lasted until afternoon. They did not dare to stay in Chongzheng Hall. Dorgon, who had been staying at the city wall, did not need to report under their hands. The rumbling sound of horse hooves alarmed them again.
Before they saw the Ming cavalry waiting for the battle, they knew that the cavalry that was coming might not be the Qing army.
Sure enough, what appeared in their sight was a long dazzling red dragon.
Although the Ming cavalry that came this time was less than 10,000, watching the Ming army cheering outside the city, there was no doubt that it would be a very heavy blow to the Jianlu in Shengjing City.
If the war in Liaoyang is intense and fierce, would the Emperor of Ming Dynasty send cavalry to Shengjing?
This answer is obvious, and even a fool can know it!
However, it is a bit difficult to accept that Liaoyang fell into it so quickly.
Whether it is the trust of the friendly forces in Liaoyang City or the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, the Jianlu in Shengjing City subconsciously denied the fall of Liaoyang.
Just as Dorgon frowned and said to Yuetuo, "Even if there are 30,000 pigs in Liaoyang City, it will take only a few days to kill the Ming army. What's more, whether it is Prince Yu or the Qing warriors under his command, they are not allowed to surrender. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty said that those who had not surrendered before were to be exterminated. Who would not dare to surrender if they did not have a bunch of Ming people's lives in their hands? "
When Yue Tuo heard this, he was about to answer, but he heard the Ming army outside the city cheering again. Then the Ming army soldiers shouted outside the city, which attracted the Qing soldiers on the top of the city to look over.
"The Ming Dynasty has restored Liaoyang, do you surrender?"
"The emperor is wise and powerful. Liaoyang City was captured by a large army yesterday. When will it take until he doesn't surrender?"
"If you don't surrender, you will be dead!"
“…”
Originally, Yue Tuo had a gloomy face and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the Ming army roaring, he showed a hint of surprise and immediately changed his words and said to Dorgon: "If the Ming army really conquered Liaoyang, they would definitely not speak and wait for the main force of the infantry to come to Shengjing. Otherwise, what should we do if our army breaks through the siege at all costs? From this we can see that this is likely to be a move by the Ming army to disintegrate our army's morale!"
After hearing this, Dorgon nodded repeatedly and said, "Even if our army does not break through, if the morale is high, the Ming army will definitely pay a heavy price to attack the city."
Of course, that's what he said, but he still had hidden worries in his heart. It was really the situation of the Qing Dynasty that was extremely far behind. To say this, to think so, it was just a matter of seeking life in death.
As he said himself, the Qing Dynasty could not afford to lose. If Shengjing was defeated in this battle, it would be the end of the extermination of the clan!
So, the military order was passed down again, exposing the Ming army's conspiracy for ordinary soldiers. It has to be said that this still has some effect. The morale that was originally declining because of the Ming cavalry's reinforcements increased a lot.
This time, Bumubutai did not send Obai to come, which was a trust in Dorgon.
However, Bumubutai was keen to find that Dorgon seemed to have a lot of white hair. I don’t know if he didn’t pay attention to it before or if it turned white overnight. This made her panic again. After holding it in for a day, she asked Dorgon: “What if Shengjing cannot be kept, what should I do if my mother and son do?”
"It's nothing. Do you think the Ming army went to the Qing Dynasty to expedition to our Qing Dynasty, and the food and supplies fell from the sky?" Dorgon saw this, and couldn't help but scolded, "Liaoyang held the Ming army for ten and half months, and Shengjing would beat him for another ten and half months. The more troops the Ming army came, the faster they would be defeated!"
