Chapter 1580
"Is this the Xia Thief's armor..."
Dorgon seemed to say to himself: "Simple and light, invulnerable, impenetrable, after wearing the armor Except for a pair of eyes, there is no weak spot on his body. This king probably already knows how Abate was wiped out in the first place. He also knows why the trifling front guard can be so strong."
From left to right, Great Qing's chief minister General was silent.
Since the stalemate with Xia Jun, the Manchu-Qing party gradually discovered that their previous knowledge of Xia Jun was so ridiculous and so underestimated. Six thousand soldiers? Mountain and Sea Trial is up and down, full of armored soldiers, tens of thousands! How can it be trifling front guard?
That's not counting. The strength of the Mountain and Sea Trial is now estimated to be no more than 30,000. Compared with the army of hundreds of thousands that Dorgon has made a great effort, it is less than one-tenth. They are all armoured soldiers, and they may not lose. But armor is invulnerable, which is troublesome.
Except for a pair of eyes, the arrow can't be shot through, and the bludgeon can't move. The blade, spear, sword, halberd are completely useless. Except for artillery, there is almost no possibility of armor piercing. Even the artillery, within a certain distance, it may not be able to kill people if it hits it.
Faced with such iron cans, the invincible Eight Banners soldiers became paper rubbish.
In these days, the Mountain and Sea Trial has deployed 3,000 soldiers to fight Manchu-Qing’s subordinate troops on the front line of the sheltered fort. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have no specific goals. , Hit the back barrier today, hit the front place tomorrow, either hit Yong'an Fort, or hit Gaoling Post, not for the purpose of breaking the city, only killing as the standard.
In just seven or eight days, more than 40,000 front-line soldiers and horses, mainly Koreans and supplemented by the Han Baqi, died and injured more than 40,000! On average, more than 5,000 people die in their hands every day.
Such a loss, even if it is not a full-fledged family, makes Dorgon painful enough. Earlier on receiving these battle reports, he was still furious, except that these vassal troops did not work hard, and he had severely punished several generals.
But then I gradually discovered that something was wrong, so yesterday I dispatched ten three thousand and eight banner soldiers from the company. When the Mountain and Sea Trial soldiers and horses attacked the Gaoling Post, they suddenly came out from the side. This battle finally allowed Dorgon felt the pain on his skin.
The Three Thousand Eight Banners elite soldiers were almost annihilated, and the result of their battle was this armor on Dorgon's body. The only one.
It took three thousand and eight lives of elite soldiers and eight thousand lives of Gaolingyi garrison to seize such a armor from the Mountain and Sea Trial army.
Dorgon ridiculed himself fiercely: "With only one armor, more than 10,000 people were lost. It's so good."
It's not that the soldiers are not doing their best, but the enemy is too powerful.
Mountain and Sea Trial 3000 soldiers and horses are not without losses, not just one person. Under the impact of Tatar regardless of casualties, there are always unlucky people who get hurt to the point. But it is difficult and difficult to seize the corpse. Every soldier who died in battle had to bring back their bodies anyway, just like Tatar's Eight Banners. Tatar fought against the Ming court, and there were casualties, but often retreating smoothly, he could also take away the body of clansman, and not many fell into the hands of the Ming court.
Ying Yi's soldiers and horses are even more so.
In order to capture this armor, a clever general of Tatar stripped off the armor and discarded the corpses of the Mountain and Sea Trial soldiers to achieve the goal. Otherwise, it will succumb to death, and Tatar may lose more than 10,000 people in the end.
In this battle, Dorgon and other Manchu-Qing executives fully saw the enemy's tyranny, and the mood that was originally more than half the chance of winning in his heart suddenly fell to the freezing point. Fortunately, Dorgon saw the hidden dangers and made people block the news. Otherwise, the Tatar Army of Sanshan Camp would be completely out of morale at this moment.
What should I do?
This problem lies in front of the Tatars.
Three thousand and eight banners of elite soldiers, tens of thousands of soldiers attached to the army, under siege, Mountain and Sea Trial trifling, a ministerial rank of three thousand men and horses, killed more than 10,000, and the wounded are countless. , And the harvest is only a piece of armor. This is still only three thousand. In the Mountain and Sea Trial, there are also more than 20,000 such troops, and the former guards also have six thousand.
So what about the gate?
The enemy of Great Qing is definitely not only two to three thousand soldiers and horses.
By this time, Dorgon's support to the two Tatars has been shaken vividly. There is also not much expectation for the Sha'erhuda's subordinate that was attacked by the waterway.
So what should I do?
The decisive battle?
Retreat?
If it is a decisive battle, what is the chance of winning?
Retreat? Can it be withdrawn smoothly? It was withdrawn, what should I do in the future? Will Ying Yi let them go?
The bloody facts lay before our eyes, making Dorgon restless all night.
"Let's talk about it."
Dorgon said indifferently.
Nothing is said.
For a long time, a decadent voice came: "Retreat."
At first glance, it turned out to be Hooge.
Previously it was high-spirited and vigorous, never seen again. Only the beard and bloodshot eyes were left, and his face was sallow and decadent.
The former guard gave Hooge fiercely a blow. Almost all of his troops fell under the former guard, and he was seized by Dorgon, who would be Baylor.
He realized how powerful the enemy was, and in frustration, he never reported any expectations.
"Easy to say!" Dodo said: "Retreat? Hooge Baylor thought that the Xia Jun of Mountain and Sea Trial would watch us retreat smoothly? What's more, if we retreat, what should we do in the future? Will let us go! Think about Ming Dynasty, since Zhu Yuanzhang, how many years have they fought the Tatars? Han Chinese will never let us go because of our retreat, we have enemies with them!"
"What do you say?!" Hooge roared: "We can't beat them! If we lose too many men of our own race, what shall we do to suppress the Tatars? What do we use to suppress the Koreans? They I will bite back, and we will be annihilated without waiting for Han Chinese to attack!"
Dodo is speechless.
"if you ride a tiger, it's hard to get off..."
Dorgon sighed.
...
Mountain and Sea Trial.
"A lot of gains have been made in a few days, but the East Captives must have had their skin pains." Ying Yi read the battle report and said indifferently: "If only he was attached to the army, no matter how many people died, it would probably be nothing but flesh. It hurts. But the elite troops of the East Captive were almost wiped out in the field. They should have remembered the lesson of Abate."
Speaking, Ying Yi looked into the distance: "Qian Yue’s The news should be coming soon, right? Within two days, a decisive battle is necessary, otherwise there is no guarantee that Tatar will not escape."
Zhu Bingkun said: "Going back to the Lord, it stands to reason that the old Qian’s department should have completed the set. Strategic goal. At the speed of our army, it will take up to five days from Horqin Grassland to Jinzhou. Now it has been seven or eight days, and the situation there should be clear."
Ying Yi slightly nodded: "No matter the money Whether the Yue News arrives or not, it will only take two days. Two days later is August 15th, when the moon is full, troops will be attacked. Go down and be prepared, and be sure to kill the troops and horses of the East Captive as much as possible."
"Here."
