After passing through the heavy guards, he walked to his brother and saw him frowning, looking at the mess in front of him. The second-in-command of the Houjin military and political group, Gu Yingbatulu, the future Prince of the Qing Empire and Shuoli, Dabeile Daishan coughed lightly:
"Lao Ba, those green skins are too hard to chew, so why not retreat for the time being."
*** did not turn his head, but still stared ahead. After a while, a sentence came out of his lips:
"Then what?"
"What then?"
Daishan was puzzled for a moment, but then he saw ***, who had been watching the battle with the telescope tightly, turn his head and let out a long sigh:
"I can retreat today, but what will happen after I retreat?"
He stretched out his hand and pointed towards the north:
"The marching direction of those greenskins was directly towards our Changping camp. If we retreat, they will definitely go that way. Should we fight in Changping? No fight? Continue to retreat? Give up the camp and leave everything behind. With the victory and baggage, we will return to the grassland and Liaodong?"
"But has Shorthair never been to Liaodong? They have large ships to transport soldiers and supplies, which is probably more convenient than in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. By then, where will we retreat?"
Daishan sighed and whispered:
"I just want to quit today and look for opportunities later"
*** sneered. When Daishan supported him in his rise to power, he had always respected his second brother. Of course, according to historical records, it would not take long for his true form to be revealed: that is, one year later, Tiancong was nine years old. , Mao Zedong rebuked the great Baylor, who had once been his equal, for "contempting the emperor, being greedy for money, breaking the law, and mistreating people." He gave him a good beating, and took the opportunity to force Daishan to clarify the relationship between monarch and minister, and completely established himself as the successor. A unique king's status in the Jin Dynasty.
?????????????????????????? But now he has not fallen out. Before, *** always called Daishan "Second Brother, Second Brother" and never regarded him as a subordinate. He was extremely polite. But now on the battlefield, at the most urgent moment, he had no intention of pretending anymore and directly interrupted Daishan's words, shook his head and said:
"There will never be a better opportunity than today, second brother! - Right now, if I dare to retreat, most of the Mongolians will immediately run away. Then who will lure the enemy for us? Who will consume it for us? Is it possible? It’s all up to us Eight Banners athletes to resist the green-skinned firecrackers and artillery?”
"Today we are still fighting in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. What we eat and drink, what we use to reward others, including what was wasted by those soldiers and generals Qiu Ba, are all the property of the Ming Dynasty. We don't feel bad, but where will we fight in the future? On the grassland. ? Not to mention whether the short-haired men will chase them out, it is hard to say which side the Mongols will support if they really have to fight on the grassland. "
"And if we go back to our hometown in Liaodong to fightwill everyone still dare to fight?"
***These words made Daishan dumbfounded for a moment - during the few months when the Short-haired Army was stationed at Lushunkou, the entire Hou Jin court was absolutely like a thorn in the back. Although the Shorthairs later voluntarily withdrew, in addition to publicizing the victory to the outside world, no one internally really believed that their side had won the victory. The Jingguan outside Fuzhou City is still piled up.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out????: At the beginning of spring, the Shorthair Army gathered more than 2,000 people and marched north from Jinzhou with great momentum, clearly intending to invite a fight head-on. But what was the reaction of the post-Jin Dynasty court at that time?
——Everyone collectively discussed "grabbing the west".
Although it was said that the plan had been arranged long ago, there was no need to change it just because of a mere two thousand green skins. They left all the trouble to Kong Youde, but in fact, the leaders like Hou Jin knew it well - there was a fate like Bailede in front of them, and no one wanted to face the green-skinned soldiers.
So later, Mao Zedong temporarily changed his strategy, from looting the Ming Dynasty to reentering the Ming Dynasty's capital, and luring the short-haired army to go north for a decisive battle. Everyone in the Hou Jin Dynasty agreed. Because they also know: Since they don't want to fight with Shorthair in Liaodong, it is best to fight the opponent in the hinterland of Ming Dynasty.
——Use the children of gold and silk from the Central Plains to attract the manpower of Mongolia to fight for them. It is better than completely wasting one's own strength to fight the opponent in Liaodong. If the Short-haired Army can be defeated or severely damaged here, the local security of Liaodong will naturally be ensured.
***This policy has the support of everyone, including his second Baylor Daishan. Moreover, Shi Shan sincerely believed that this was a brilliant idea, and Lao Ba was worthy of the title of "Tian Cong Khan".
But now, Daishan feels a little regretful.
"Perhaps we can retreat temporarily. If they dare to pursue us, we can find an opportunity to make a surprise attack on them halfway?"
Another voice came from the side, but it was Beile Abatai, who ranked seventh among the Nurhaci sons. However, due to the low status of his mother's clan, his status in the Houjin court was not high. Although he was older, he was still the most powerful. never??Think of him as a brother.
"However, Abatai has been in charge of the army for many years and his actual combat capabilities are quite good. At this time, he proposed a more specific strategy. But the core is the same as Erbeile: he is not optimistic about today's battle.
But the result was still only a sneer from ***:
"Five thousand Reeboks can fight a surprise attack, and twenty thousand elite cavalry can also fight a surprise attack. But Lao Qi, when have you ever heard that eighty thousand people can fight a surprise attack? You are experienced in fighting, and you dare to use this kind of force. Are you talking to me?"
Abatai was immediately speechless, but *** still scolded him severely:
"Besides, haven't we had any chance these days? You and I have gone to see the camp that the greenskins set up near Shunyi. They even made the camp look like that when they only stayed for one day, and their daily march was also slow. It’s timid—but have we ever found a flaw?”
"In order to conduct a surprise attack, the first step is to watch the Sentry Cavalry. We can detect the opponent's movements at any time without being known to the enemy. Only then can the surprise attack be successful. But can we, the Sentinel Cavalry, be as good as others? Everyone is eating these days. Isn’t that enough suffering? Their sentry riders almost assassinated me! Do you think their sentry riders don’t know how to spy on military intelligence and don’t understand our movements?”
"Either they hope that their commander-in-chief will make mistakes on his own - has Shorthair ever made one? It's not like I haven't used strategies these days, but not even the Ming Emperor's edict can make them sway - Lao Qi , say it yourself, is there any way you can make them make mistakes?"
*** seemed to have vented all his anger on Abatai when the war was not going well, and cursed him all over the place. The latter had no choice but to kneel down on the ground and plead guilty:
"My slave is wrong, please punish me."
Abate did not dare to remonstrate any more, but Daishan became more and more anxious. At present, the most qualified people to speak in front of the army were the Princes of Aixinjueluo. If they did not speak, others would not dare to speak.
"Old man, what you said makes sense. But the one on the other side is clearly an iron walnut. If you try to eat it, your teeth will probably break. We can't afford the loss!"
Daishan said sincerely that he was indeed persuading out of public motives and had no intention of taking the opportunity to undermine the prestige of the Communist Party. The Jin army has been in Liaodong for many years, and its leaders all understand military strategy.
But what military strategy do they know? The core of it is nothing more than the gangster mentality of bullying the weak and fearing the strong: if you see someone you can beat, bully them, such as Japan and Mongolia, and avoid those you can't win.
And the group of greenskins in front of you are clearly the most untouchable, so why bother fighting with them?
However, as the most strategically visionary member of the post-Jin military and political group, ***'s perspective has long broken through the traditional bandit thinking, and what he considers is no longer as simple as "fight if you can beat him, and hide if you can't beat him."
He has just worked so hard to say so many words, but he has actually made it clear what he is most worried about and worried about. But when he saw that his two most important lieutenants and brothers still had no access to food and salt, and still couldn't change their original hunting tribe's gangster nature of grabbing a handful and running away, he felt anxious, and a wisp of blood actually flowed out of his nostrils.
“Sweat profusely!”
The nearby guards had been driven away while they were talking. At this moment, only Daishan and Abatai were present. Both of them were horrified when they saw this, but *** himself didn't care and took out a ball that had been prepared long ago. The cotton blocked his nostrils, and he made a loud sound and said:
"Don't you understand? If I really want to collapse, I would rather collapse here, and even the Mongols will collapse with me! In this way, there will be some room for maneuver, instead of retreating again and again If we retreat We were forced to fight this battle only when we arrived in Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Hetuala, and that was when it was all over!"
After a short pause, he pointed to the opposite side and said:
"Those short-haired people on the other side are still human beings! They are also afraid, and they are not without weaknesses!"
"What's the weakness? If we lose, we can still leave. If they lose, they will have no choice but to die!"
"They have few people, and their cannons and gunpowder cannot be unlimited. Even if they kill the last Mongolian, even if they destroy all the Han army flags, as long as thousands of Manchu athletes rush in, they can be killed!"
"Even if we can't kill them all, even if we are defeated in the end, as long as a few hundred people rush in, hit them hard, lose their teeth, and make them never want to fight us again, this is still a victory!"
"As long as we can do this, two for one, three for oneeven ten for one! We won't lose."
Having said this, *** waved his hand and repeated what he had just said:
"There will never be a better opportunity than today. If we don't fight today, there will be no day to fight!"
Looking at ***’s tired but excited face, both Daishan and Abatai knew that it was absolutely impossible to sway the Khan’s mind.?. And after all, they are both outstanding talents in Houjin. It's not that they can't understand ***'s thoughts, it's just that they don't want to bang their heads against a stone wall out of instinct.
But at this time, there was no choice. The Khan was obviously determined to knock down the wall with his head. The two of them said no more, each bowed deeply and left silently.
The surrounding guards and orderly soldiers gathered around again and reported that the remnants of the previously defeated soldiers had been cleared away. *** had already considered this situation beforehand - he did not expect to defeat his opponent with a group of cannon fodder troops, and the collapse of the first wave of attacks was expected.
At this time, it was just a matter of continuing to invest more capital according to the established plan - as the "woo woo" horn sounded, more and stronger troops were mobilized to press against the short-haired army on the opposite side. The cavalry on both sides also began to move slowly, preparing to respond to the central infantry.
The second wave of assault force, also the main force of this battle, attacked.
