176, Dorgon withdrew his troops to the north, and Zhu Cilong returned to the west.
In the Taihang Mountains.
Duoduo stared at the small pass temporarily built by the Ming army in front, with a fierce light flashing on his face, like a fierce tiger, who wanted to choose people to eat at any time.
"Where is my cannon, why haven't it arrived yet?" Duoduo roared at the Qing Dynasty officials who were responsible for logistics.
The official trembled and said hurriedly: "King, it is really inconvenient to transport the Taihang Mountains. Please ask the King to give you another two days of grace."
Duoduo knocked the official to the ground with a slap and said coldly: "I only want the cannon, and I don't want to hear you waste of shirk responsibility. Come on, drag the waste down and kill it, and replace it with someone who can deliver the cannon in time!"
After Duoduo's behavior, everyone present was silent and dared not say a word.
After Duoduo got angry, he returned to his tent and went sulking.
The game between Duoduo and the Duke of England has lasted for almost a month, and both sides can be said to be coming and going.
Duoduo had thought of other ways, such as surprise troops traveling, feint attacks, changing other roads, etc., but all of them were discovered by the British.
So now there is only one way left - strong attack.
But if you attack strongly, you have to face the Ming army's artillery in such a narrow passage. No matter how strong the Qing soldiers are, they will be a dead end.
Therefore, Duoduo came up with a new way, which was to use artillery to deal with artillery.
However, the Taihang Mountain road is steep and the heavy artillery transportation is quite difficult, which has led to Duoduo not seeing the artillery that he has been thinking about day and night, so today's outbreak has occurred.
Duoduo just entered the tent, and his guard captain also came in.
"King, Prince Rui's order!"
Duoduo was stunned for a moment, and took the letter from Dorgon handed over by the captain of the guards. After reading it, his face changed drastically.
"Retreat? Do you actually want me to withdraw?"
Almost at the same time, the Duke of England also received imperial edicts from Beijing.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince won? It's so great!" The British Duke looked excited.
In front of the British Duke, the many Ming generals also expressed their expressions of joy.
The British Duke looked around everyone present and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, if I expected it was OK, Jiannu should withdraw his troops soon. I will leave some of the troops to continue to station here. The main force will prepare for a while and go north to Zhangjiakou to find Jiannu's main force!"
The British Duke also made up his mind to have a good encounter with Dorgon.
This time, we must let these Jiannu know what the power of tomorrow is!
In Jinzhou City, Jirgalang became calm after receiving information from Shengjing.
"Let's guard Jinzhou and wait until Prince Rui calls back." Jirgalang spoke to his subordinates.
In this regard, Jirgalang's subordinates had doubts: "King, didn't this let Dorgon steal the limelight?"
The expression on Jirgalang's face was quite ugly. After a long time, he sighed, "Just grab it, it's better than being snatched away by Jinzhou, right?"
Jirgalang has also figured it out. If Jinzhou is lost again, Jirgalang's life will end, but if he can kill Zhu Cilang in the city of Jinzhou, there will be room for recovery.
Under the guidance of this phalanx, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty led by Jiergalang did cheer up again and repelled the Ming army's multiple sieges.
This was naturally noticed by Li Guozhen, who was responsible for the specific command of the siege.
Li Guozhen was also a little anxious, so he hurried to find Zhu Cixuan: "Your Highness, we should withdraw our troops, right?"
It’s not that Li Guozhen couldn’t hold back, but that he was a little worried that if the withdrawal of troops was too late, he might be trampled by the main force of Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty.
After all, no one knows when Dorgon's reinforcements will appear.
Zhu Cilang was very calm and smiled at Li Guozhen and said, "Brother Xiangcheng, don't worry, let's stay for another five days."
After calculation, there are still five days left before the system requires fifteen days.
Li Guozhen was stunned when he heard this: "Your Highness, we have been besieging Jinzhou for so long. Dorgon must have returned to the army long ago, so we have to be careful!"
Zhu Cilang yawned and said, "Don't worry, Dorgon will definitely not be able to arrive in five days!"
If you don’t believe anything else, can the system not believe it?
Li Guozhen: "..."
Li Guozhen was really a little amused at this time: "Your Highness, after we evacuate, we will have to walk a few more days before we can get to Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan. If we calculate this way, wouldn't it be at least ten days?"
Zhu Cilang said oh, "That's ten days. Xiangcheng Bo, you don't need to worry too much. Everything in this palace is clear in my mind."
Li Guozhen left Zhu Cilang's tent with great worries.
After Li Guozhen left, Zhu Cilang's expression began to become serious and he fell into deep thought at the map in front of him.
Judging from the distance on the map, after so many days, the army led by Dorgon had at least left the customs and began to enter the southern desert grassland.
So Li Guozhen's concerns are indeed reasonable. After all, I don't know if Dorgon would suddenly send cavalry to raid or something. Don't forget that there were Eight Mongolian Banners in the Qing Dynasty.
But Zhu Cixuan directly ignored this matter due to the help of the system, but began to seriously consider where to fight Dorgon next.
"Gubeikou? Baima Pass? Longmenkou?" One place name after another reflected Zhu Cixuan's sight.
After a long time, Zhu Cilang slapped his thigh: "Don't worry about him, just do it!"
Five days later.
Jiergalang ascended the city wall and stared at the Ming army camp outside the city with sharp eyes.
"It's been a month... Humph, the time for counterattack is coming soon!"
According to the information that Jirgalang just obtained, Dorgon had sent more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry to return to the rescue along the southern desert grassland. It was calculated that it would take only three or five days to arrive in Jinzhou.
With more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, Jirgalang believes that this wave of counter-recommendation will definitely cause heavy losses to the Ming army, even...
"Kill Zhu Cilang!" Jirgalang's face inevitably became ferocious when he thought of this.
He is really looking forward to this day.
But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from Jirgalang's side.
"The Ming army retreated?!"
Jiergalang came back to his senses and his eyes extended along the Ming army camp. Sure enough, he saw a steady stream of troops slowly retreating south behind the Ming army camp.
Jirgalang: “…”
At this moment, Jirgalang's heart was broken.
Chapter completed!
