Chapter 1564
Hooge knew that Dorgon was taking the opportunity to attack him, and said that if he was convicted, he would take the opportunity to deprive him of his position as the Plain Blue Banner Banner Lord. So he was full of anger, but he didn't dare to vent, he only said: "This is not a crime of war. The front guard of the enemy is defending as it should be by rights."
Then he said: "Just give me some time, the front guards will break."
Hooge is certain in his mind. In his opinion, these six or seven days have been continuously attacking the city. Wei's firepower had already begun to decay, and it would take only one or two days at most, and there would be no more shots in the city, no more shots. when the time comes With superior forces, is it not easy to break the city? !
Huang Taiji just died, Dorgon is not too good, hearing this, he said: "Okay. This king believes in Prince Su. Then set a time, three days! If you can't get Qiantun in three days Wei, you must be punished!"
Hooge thought that there should be no problem in three days, so he said without the slightest hesitation: "Three days is three days. But I have a request."
Dorgon said: "King Armament has a huge advantage, what is the requirement?"
Hooge said: "I want thirty guns."
Of course, Dorgon knows Hooge Why did he need a gun, but he refused: "The small walls of Qiantunwei City are short, but Mountain and Sea Trial has thick walls, so I won't give it."
Hooge had no choice but to retreat.
Dorgon is nodded satisfied. Like Hooge, he also felt that after many days, it was not difficult to win the front guard. But not giving Hooge artillery is also intended to weaken Hooge's force. It is the best of both worlds.
then said: "The generals must be prepared for combat and listen to the king's orders at any time. When the time comes, they will seize the Mountain and Sea Trial, and the beautiful rivers and mountains of Central Plains are my Great Qing's !"
Retiring the generals, Dorgon left Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and other Han officials.
These people are in Manchu-Qing, and they are also very precious. Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan are the best. But they have no actual military power. For example, Fan Wencheng, nominally a Banner Lord of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, but the strength of this banner is in the hands of the Manchus, as is Ning Wan and me.
The only generals who can control the power of the Han Baqi are Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde. Because these people surrendered with troops. Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, and the others are just scholars and never led soldiers.
Their position is closer to that of a counselor. There are important things, whether it is Huang Taiji or Dorgon, they will discuss with them, but they do not have the power to make decisions.
"My king entered the Sizhai Fort, Mountain and Sea Trial's reaction, I don't know how many gentlemen can predict?" Dorgon said.
Hong Chengchou remained silent, Fan Wencheng stood up and said: "If you return to the master, you will enter the Sizhai Fort and you will be testing the Mountain and Sea Trial. There are two reactions: one is to send troops to fight, and the other I don’t listen to it."
Dorgon said: "What do you mean by fighting for troops? What do you say if you don’t hear about it?"
Fan Wencheng said: "There is only one meaning for fighting for troops."
, That is not afraid to test the Great Qing soldiers."
Dorgon nodded.
You must be happy and fearless before you can send your troops. Otherwise, the soldiers will be stationed in the fort, and they will not be vacant, and let Dorgon's army come.
Dorgon wants to test Mountain and Sea Trial, Mountain and Sea Trial may not have the same thoughts.
Such battles often start with temptation, and gradually gain an advantage in temptation, and the final battle will determine the universe.
"As for indifference, then there is something to say." Fan Wencheng said: "If you ignore it and look on the sidelines, one is full of confidence, not afraid, even temptation. The second one is extremely fearful, just like the Ming court. I have always attacked by the Great Qing, but the Ming court did not dare to fight in the field, and only defended by the city."
plainly said: "If the Xia Thief Company There is no temptation, the master just has to hold back and wait for the opportunity. If you are extremely afraid, you can try to attack Mountain and Sea Trial."
The two talked, Hong Chengchou and Ning Wanmei and the others They all heard clearly, and they all agreed.
Dorgon said: "What Mr. Fan said is extremely true. If the Xia Thief is full of confidence, he does not even need to test, it can be seen that he is rampant. I will stand still and wait for the coordinator to create opportunities for the king. Once Horqin and the soil Mert’s victory, Mountain and Sea Trial must be shaken. When this king sends his troops, he will break through the city. But I am most afraid of delay."
Dorgon sighed in the last half of the sentence.
It sounds good to say nothing, but 100,000 people eat horses and chew, and the food consumed is not a few. Manchu-Qing superficial background, the climate has been really disgusting in recent years. Although there has not been a major climate disaster in Liaodong, the food harvest is still stretched.
Once the delay is too long and the food is exhausted, the army will surely collapse without fighting.
What he is looking forward to most now is that Horqin and Tumote can quickly make contributions. Once Horqin or Tumote breaks the Gyeonggi line of defense and the elite soldiers enter the gate and approach the capital, the Xia thief must be unable to sit still, and the Mountain and Sea Trial will be shaken by it.
If you can go further and break the provisions supply line of the Mountain and Sea Trial defense line, then you can successfully accomplished.
Subsequently, Hong Chengchou and Ning Wan, and I put forward some suggestions, suggesting that Dorgon can separate some soldiers and horses to attack other gates along the Great Wall of Mountain and Sea Trial. See if you can find a weak spot.
If a weak spot can be found and the situation can be opened from other similar small towns such as Qingshankou, Mountain and Sea Trial will also be shaken.
Dorgon certainly knew this truth, but he didn't immediately adopt it.
He said: "This battle related to the national destiny, we must gather strength." Then he said: "If you can know the total strength of the Xia thief, if the Xia thief has fewer soldiers, I can divide the army. If there are too many soldiers, then no."
Additionally: "Hooge attacked the front guards, and if they succeed in three days, they can try to attack other gates along the Great Wall along the Mountain and Sea Trial."

...
Mountain and Sea Trial, Zhu Bingkun and others accompanied Ying Yi to check the battle preparation. Soon I came to the city gate upstairs.
Ying Yi raised her eyes and looked out, only to see a narrow area outside the pass, and several li far away, before it was wide open. Mountain and Sea Trial is built by the mountains and the sea, which is very dangerous. At the beginning, Ying Yi came across the sea to quickly win the Mountain and Sea Trial, and never stopped here. At this time, it seems that there is another taste.
Today, there are 20,000 and four thousand troops in the Mountain and Sea Trial. Adding six thousand front guards, that's thirty thousand troops. Compared with the Donglu army of hundreds of thousands, the difference in the number of people is unreasonable.
However, the difference in the number of people does not determine the difference in battle strength.
Not to mention the steep terrain of Mountain and Sea Trial, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if only the 20,000 and four thousand soldiers in the pass were pulled out for field battles, Ying Yi was not afraid of the slightest.
At this time, there was a report from the Malays, saying that Tatar had sent troops, and the soldiers pointed directly at the four fortresses including the shadow barrier.
Ying Yi called to visit the horse, and asked: "How is Tatar dispatching troops? What is the strength of the troops?"
Tatar probed the horse: "Tatar dispatched troops to the Sizhai Fortress at the same time, each with about 10 million people. Look. Dress up, it’s not Jian slaves and Tatar headquarters soldiers and horses."
"Oh." Ying Yi waved her hand and waved back the probe horse: "Explore again."
Then she confronted Zhu Bingkun. The general said with a smile: “Dorgon’s main force garrisoned the Sanshan Camp, and built a battle line around the fortresses with shadow barriers, etc., but it was a steady advance.”
Then he said: “The generals thought that this How should this king respond?"
The generals each pondered. After a while, Zhu Bingkun said, "Dorgon will take the vassal soldiers into the Sizhai Fortress and establish a battle line. It is nothing more than a temptation. He has come to the country this time. You have to be cautious to attack. Usually you have to try the reaction of the king."
Ying Yi nodded: "It makes sense. How to distinguish it?"
Zhu Bingkun Said: "Going back to the Lord, with my battle strength, I don't need to care about Tatar's ideas at all. According to the end of the general's opinion, you may be able to train on this. The white generals, the horse generals and the newly arrived captain are not elite Now that the armaments are in order, I pulled out to fight with Tatar for the Four Fortresses, so that the recruits could see the blood and prepare for a decisive battle in the future."
