Chapter 33 God is fair

Compared with the thin and tall Dorgon, Huang Taiji looks a little fatter.

He looked down at the nosebleed that was flowing on his clothes, then looked at Dorgon and said, "Call the shamans to come over."

Dorgon looked at his brother and whispered: "Call the Han doctors to deal with it?"

Huang Taiji pinched his nose with his hands and wanted to speak, but the bleeding from his nose had already entered his mouth and had to glar at Dorgon.

Dorgon bowed slightly and hurriedly left. After a while, he brought a shaman with a feather-in-headed mask.

The site was soon surrounded by the guards like clay sculptures and wooden sculptures with blue curtains. After lit a small tuft of hair, the shaman began to roam the bells around Huang Taiji.

Duoduo first listened for a while, then said to his brother Dorgon: "He really believes that shamans can cure his nosebleed?"

Dorgon frowned and said, "The Han doctors can't either. Since that's the case, why don't you choose to believe in shamans?"

Duoduo looked at his brother strangely, and then sneered: "In order to make the savages in the old forest devote themselves, he didn't even let him go."

"shut up!"

Dorgon whispered to Duoduo, pushing him to a secluded place and said, "He is our emperor and our brother. He does this for me, the Qing Dynasty. Next time, if you are rude to him, I will punish you severely."

"He deprived us of our military power!"

"That's because we didn't kill Hong Chengchou!"

"Can he kill Hong Chengchou when he comes?"

Dorgon looked up at the tall Songshan Fort opposite him and nodded, "Yes!"

"Okay? How is this possible? He has not made any progress in besieging Songshan Fort these days. The Han army flag in Kong Youde's hand is about to die. Fei Yanggu, who besieged Xingshan, did not get any benefits from Cao Bianjiao."

Dorgon looked at his stupid brother and whispered: "Be prepared, Hong Chengchou is about to escape. You must keep all the heavy artillery in Hong Chengchou's hand. I think he won't bring these things when he runs away."

The two brothers said for a while, and the strange sounds that the shaman hummed from his nose gradually stopped.

The fat Huang Taiji walked out of the curtain, washed his hands in the copper basin held by the waiter, and said to Kong Youde, who was standing not far away: "This time, I sent Mongolian warriors to rush to the city."

After Kong Youde knelt on one knee and agreed, he handed a blue military flag to Daruba of Korchin.

Although he found it strange that it was unwise to use Mongolian cavalry to attack the city, he did not dare to ask.

Daruba was also very strange. He didn't say a word, but heard Dorgon standing aside say: "Fill in the cross-ditch!"

Only then did Daruba wake up, glanced at Dorgon with gratitude, and took the people to prepare.

Huang Taiji looked at Dorgon and said, "You are the smartest among our brothers and the most conscious of the times. Many times, I think our ideas are the same.

Now, I will hand over the two white flags to you again, Dorgon. Now is not the time to fight for power and profit. The Qing Dynasty has reached a very dangerous brink. If we cannot defeat Hong Chengchou in this battle and take down Shanhaiguan, we will have to return to Lao Linzi and be a savage."

Dorgon knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "I understand."

Huang Taiji sighed and said, "Since you understand, don't save your strength this time."

After saying that, he left the battlefield.

Dorgon, who had regained his military power, did not look much happy on his face. He did not say a word when facing the two white flag generals surrounding him, but just watched the Mongolian cavalry running towards Songshan City with their skinned puppets in their arms.

Songshan Fort is actually not tall, but because of the terrain, it seems a bit unattainable. This slope does not hinder the short Mongolian horse. When the horse's head appears within the range of the artillery, the cannons on Songshan Fort began to roar.

Mongolian cavalry were constantly smashed by shells, and many Mongolian horses were also turned into piles of minced meat and poured on the way to charge. However, cavalry still threatened with muskets and arrows to pour the soil in their pockets into deep trenches.

The battle has entered a white heat from the beginning...

At this moment, Dorgon handed over his command to Duoduo and came to a small valley.

Xia Chengde had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Dorgon coming in person, his eyes were a little shiny, and he hurried forward and said, "Prince, when will I go back to Songshan Fort?"

The last general thought that the prince had forgotten me."

Dorgon intimately grabbed Xia Chengde's hand and said, "For many years, no matter how bad the situation is, I have never activated you. It's not that I have forgotten you, but that your status is too important.

Even in Jinzhou, my two white flags suffered heavy losses, and I was not willing to use you. Now, it’s time for you to make contributions."

Xia Chengde said excitedly: "The general thought that the prince fought to the death!"

Dorgon smiled and shook his head and said, "You don't have to fight to the death. There are only two things you have to do this time, one is to leave Hong Chengchou and the other is to leave the artillery of Songshan Fort."

Xia Chengde smiled and said, "Twenty percent of the people in Songshan Fort are ours. As long as you miss it, it will not be difficult to achieve what the prince wants."

Dorgon laughed and said, "Okay, as long as you do it, I will give it to you. If you want the land around Ningyuan, I will give it to you. If you want the Han people in Ningyuan City as your slaves, I can give it to you. As long as you do what I say, I will satisfy what you ask for."

Xia Chengde knelt down on one knee and shouted: "I will definitely live up to the prince."

Dorgon helped Xia Chengde up and patted his hands and said, "Tonight, I will leave a gap to let you go back to Songshan Fort. Be careful, Hong Chengchou is not an ordinary person."

Xia Chengde said proudly: "No need to worry about the prince, we have a way to enter Songshan Fort."

Dorgon's eyes became sharper, and he looked at Xia Chengde and said, "Authentic?"

Seeing Dorgon's face changed, Xia Chengde hurriedly said, "It's a canyon, and it was only recently that it can barely pass through this canyon, but it's limited to people and horses cannot pass through."

Dorgon thought for a moment, and then said to his personal follower: "Follow General Xia for a while."

Without waiting for his personal support to agree, Xia Chengde hurriedly said, "Let's go now, it will be hard to leave until dark."

Just as Dorgon was anxiously waiting for news about Xia Chengde, Hong Chengchou was also anxiously waiting for Xia Chengde.

Although Hong Chengchou believed that Wang Pu would not do such a thing as anger and resentment from heaven, he also understood that these damn generals were used to playing betting on both sides, and they were no longer pure soldiers.

Even if Wang Pu would not betray Daming, it is hard to say that he would not secretly stumbling.

After half a day of efforts by Mongolian cavalry, Henggou was finally filled with a hundred steps.

Although there were many Mongolian cavalry killed in battle, Jiannu seemed to be not concerned about this.

Seeing that Henggou was damaged, Wu Sangui proposed to go out of the city to fight with the Mongolian cavalry to prevent them from filling the trench. Hong Chengchou did not agree, but ordered the Mongols to be killed with fierce artillery fire, dense guns and feather arrows.

Looking at the corpse of the Mongols lodged under the city, Hong Chengchou said to Wu Sangui: "Do you know? The purpose of the Ming Dynasty fighting against Jiannu should not be focused on the gains and losses of a city and a place.

If a city could exchange the lives of a thousand Jiannu, I would make an exchange without hesitation.

From Songshan Fort to Shanhaiguan, we have less than a hundred such fortresses, so we can change it!"

Wu Sangui frowned and said, "From the current situation, Jiannu may not give us a chance to break through."

Hong Chengchou laughed and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely give us a chance to break through."

Wu Sangui said: "Why?"

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Instead of leaving us, they want to leave the artillery here more."

Wu Sangui sighed and said, "We are not as important as these artillery."

Hong Chengchou looked at Wu Sangui and smiled and said, "Although the Guanning Iron Cavalry you commanded is elite, these elites are destined to slowly leave the battlefield. The future war will be a world of steel and fire.

Chang Bo, the world has changed.”

Wu Sangui took a long breath and said, "Because of Lantian Yunzhao?"

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "He has changed the way we fight."

Wu Sangui couldn't help looking west and whispered: "I, Guanning Iron Cavalry, are not convinced."

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "You are also a young hero, so you are naturally a little arrogant. However, I hope that when you face Yun Zhao, you will show all your wisdom and courage.

Many times, when we think we are extremely powerful, in Yun Zhao's view, our strength is nothing more than a castle built on the beach, and it is gently pushed by the sea and then it falls."

Wu Sangui said suspiciously: "Why does the commander respect this person so much, and to strengthen others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige?"

Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "When you meet this person, let's say such things!"

Wu Sangui closed his eyes slightly and said, "I want to see you at first sight."

Hong Chengchou smiled but did not answer, and continued to watch the Mongolian cavalry throwing dirt into the city.

When siegeing, there are actually not many strategies available, both the siege and the defending side.

Over the past thousands of years, such wars have happened tens of thousands of times, making everyone understand what to do when facing such wars.

That's how it is now.

Before Hong Chengchou showed his flaws, Huang Taiji wanted to break through Songshan Fort, his only choice was to fill in the life.

Perhaps, this city will only be destroyed after it is full of flesh and blood.

Perhaps, you will never be full and will never be able to overcome it.

Who knows?

In short, the war is still going on, and judging from the situation on the battlefield, it is extremely fair to both sides.

In the evening, Dorgon organized a siege. This time, he dispatched the bannermen of the Zhengbai Banner. These warriors in iron armor carried a ladder to carry a tentative attack.

This attack eventually defeated the Zhengbai Banner with the efforts of Yang Guozhu and Wu Sangui.
