1092 The Change of Shengjing
"Driving..."
A team of Qing Dynasty explorers rushed out of Shengjing City and quickly left. After about five miles, the old leader, who led the leader, made gestures to his subordinates to pay attention. Then, he took the reins of the war horse and deviated from the official road and rushed into the farmland beside him.
When his men saw this, they had to follow up, but one of them was a younger Qing Dynasty detective, whispered: "The emperor said that we should fight to defend food, and now we have broken these foods ourselves..."
When the leader heard this, he looked back at him and said, "To save food, you must first save your life!"
"What's so great about Minggou?" The subordinate seemed a little dissatisfied and replied excitedly, "Now that my Qing Dynasty is united, we have no way out, we can only fight to the death. Minggou is a human being, and we are also human beings, so I don't believe it. Minggou has three heads and six arms, and with our strength and morale, we can definitely defeat them. The emperor's decree said that as long as he has the courage to fight, he can defeat all seemingly powerful enemies!"
Another older one next to the young man couldn't listen anymore and shouted loudly: "Shut up, don't implicate us if you are tired of living!"
The leader sighed in his heart when he saw this scene, turned around and didn't say anything. He just thought in his heart that this scene in the past should have appeared on the Ming army! The Ming army became stronger and stronger as the Ming army fought, and the Qing Dynasty became weaker and weaker. How could this change in strength be changed?
Not to mention anything else, just looking at the war horses under the crotch is not of the same level as those of the Ming army. But even the old and weak horses under the crotch were finally raised by the Qing Dynasty. Thinking about the past, when the Qing Dynasty had grassland allies, the war horses were all excellent, fat and strong. But now...
Thinking of this, he remembered the contact with Ming Jun yesterday, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. The Ming Jun's nights were all very skilled. Not only were he riding and shooting, but his cooperation with each other was also comparable to the peak period of the Qing Dynasty's horse exploration. Their weapons were even more sophisticated, and from weapons to food, they were all very jealous.
Sometimes, he was a little surprised. With the elite troops that the Ming army did not collect at night, and after the emperor ascended the throne, why did the Ming army's fighting will be so weak and retreat without fighting anything?
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, and he didn't think about it anymore. Now he wants to do it well, just block the west of Shengjing so as to gain time for the food harvest in the rear.
Thinking of the grain collection team that set out almost at the same time from Shengjing Dongmen, the Jianlu founded his horse and made up his mind to lead his subordinates well and try to delay the Ming army from not taking them at night, so as not to let them know the situation in the east.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "No, Ming Jun will not accept it at night..."
When he heard this, he immediately heard the sound and saw that in the distance in front of them, groups of Ming soldiers were not retracting at night and were rushing towards Shengjing in a fan shape. One of them saw them and even rushed towards them.
"Why did the Ming army come so much and not take it at night? Could it be that the main force of the Ming army came up?" The leader of the Qing Dynasty's horse exploration suddenly turned pale, and he guessed to himself.
The man who had just scolded him shouted coldly to the young man who spoke wildly: "Don't you have the courage to kill the enemy? Now Minggou is coming, you can get on!"
However, the young Qing Dynasty explorer did not hear his words, but stared at Ming Jun in the distance with a pale face, obviously scared.
"Ming Jun will not surround him at night. If we don't leave, our horsepower will not be as good as them, so we will not be able to leave." The other Qing Dynasty horse detectives ignored the young man who had no idea of the sky and earth before, and suggested in a little panic.
In fact, he didn't need to say anything more, the leader of the Qing Dynasty's horse exploration turned around and began to escape.
However, as they expected, the Ming army's war horses were much better than those used by the Qing Dynasty's horses. Moreover, the Ming army did not collect any riding skills at night, and almost everyone was a combination of people and horses. Not long after, they caught up with them.
Two Ming soldiers, who didn't stop at night, set off their bows and arrows on the horse's back, kicking off the attack.
"Swoosh" bows and arrows broke through the air. They didn't shoot people, they just shot horses, and they almost didn't fall into nothing. In the blink of an eye, Jianlu horses fell down one by one. The Ming army whizzed past without retracting at night. Some of them waved their weapons, skillfully adjusting on the horse's back, and harvested the lives of the Qing horses' falling horses. The cooperation between these Ming army silenced at night was very skillful.
The city of Shengjing was already on guard. The remnants of the Qing Dynasty stared at everything outside the city with a serious expression. When they saw their horse-striking gangs fleeing back in a panic, they were like wolves chasing their prey at night. Just under their noses, they saw the horse-striking straggling horses falling off their horses and then easily killed by the Ming army. This was a completely one-sided massacre.
The gate of Shengjing was closed, and Prince Duoduo, who was on the rotation, dared not open the gate. He just let people shout and let the escaped horse lean against the wall and walk around the city. He found an opportunity to enter the city again.
At this time, Duoduo stood in the arrow tower on the top of the city, watching groups of Ming troops coming roaring at night, showing off their might and roaring away, bypassing Shengjing and leaving.
Duoduo looked gloomy and his battlefield experience was rich. Seeing that the Ming army, which was far more than the previous few days, he knew that the main force of the Ming army was coming up. It was so dying, why did it come up today? Could it be a few days later?
He did not dare to neglect, and immediately made someone ring the police gong, and the whole city entered the highest alert, and the defense of the weapons and materials were transported to the top of the city. The news that the Ming army was about to commit a large-scale invasion was immediately sent to the palace.
By the time Dorgon personally came to the city from the palace, the Ming army's vanguard had already appeared outside Shengjing City.
Dorgon's battlefield experience is naturally richer than Dodo. Therefore, just look at it, from the new army's marching queues, mental outlook, the scattered queues after approaching Shengjing, etc., especially the new army does not seem to require the general's orders at all, and everything that should be taken in the battle will be consciously carried out by the officers below. From these details, Dorgon realized that this Ming army was the most elite unit he had ever seen.
He read that right. The new army had one of the biggest advantages compared to the previous army, that is, the entire army was somewhat literate, and almost all officers at all levels had studied at the Junior Military Preparation Hall. The quality of officers was far from comparable to other armies. There were also military supervisors at all levels who followed the army. Even if there was no order from Shangguan, they could handle emergencies correctly.
Not only Dorgon, Duoduo and others could see the elite of this new army, but even the Qing veterans who followed them from Liaodong on the top of the city, could see the old soldiers. When the young Qing soldiers saw the expressions of the veterans, they could naturally understand something. For a moment, on the top of the city, because Dorgon ascended the throne and became emperor, because Dorgon's great reward, and because of Dorgon's exciting decree, the Ming army outside the city was silently poured a plate of cold water.
Their emotions affected the Second Japanese soldiers who transported defensive materials under the city and attacked the elites of the Qing Dynasty. Originally, these Korean soldiers had low morale. Seeing that the real Qing men were so pessimistic, they naturally became even more unbearable.
Dorgon stared at the Ming army that was constantly appearing, estimating the strength and combat power of the Ming army in his heart, and wanted to send troops to the east of Shengjing to protect the food harvesting team. However, when he observed it later, he did not dare to do this. He did not do anything else to boost morale, but the Ming army was actually at the city, and the elite spirit came from the city, and no one was fool. In this case, only victory could boost morale. However, if he went out of the city to win, he had no confidence and could only rely on the city wall to defend passively.
Fortunately, this Ming army seemed to be the main focus of stability, and the various troops cooperated with each other and were not greedy for merit and advance. Except for the Ming army's active night, the other Ming army was like an iron plate, stopping to camp at the west gate of Shengjing. It can be said that the Ming army was doing very steadily, and the camps they set up could attack and defend, and did not give any chance to the enemy in the city. However, in this way, it took a lot of time. Seeing the sunset and the mountains were setting, it was already evening. The Ming army could not attack the city again, so Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, but he still returned to the palace with a serious expression.
That night, the Ming army did not attack the city, but the Ming army was stationed outside the city, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on Shengjing City.
Dorgon, Duoduo and others did not dare to sleep and were discussing countermeasures.
"Your Majesty, it seems that there is no hope for the food, why don't you burn it?" Duoduo suggested with a dark face.
When the Ming army decided to harvest food in advance, the entire army was dispatched, which immediately disrupted the plan, which made people very annoyed.
Dorgon felt very distressed and rubbed his head and said, "If we don't have these foods, even if our Qing Dynasty defeats the Ming army, how can we survive this winter?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you... or we retreat quickly while the Ming army has not besieged, right?" Ajige suggested with some confidence, "If the Ming army starts besieging the city, we will probably have no chance. Your Majesty doesn't know that the Ming army's firearms are very powerful. I saw that I had a personal eye at Zhenjiang Fort, and I was igniting the fire. The rows of lead bullets were hit, just like it was raining, and I could not rush out at all. Also, I saw that the Ming army had a car camp outside the city, so I must have brought a lot of red cannons. Shengjing could not fight back only when he was beaten, and sooner or later he would be broken!"
Dorgon and others naturally saw what he said. However, he had tasted the power of the flintlock rifle formation and knew that it was more powerful than the previous Ming army's previous clamp guns. After he said this, Duoduo rarely opposed it. Facing the Ming army outside the city, he was shocked again.
According to Dorgon's plan, the Ming army was still resting in Incheon, so that he would seize the food on his own. With food, he would have the confidence and the morale to defend the city was sufficient. Maybe he could find an opportunity to drag down the Ming army. After all, the logistics of the Ming army must not be easy. If he can't fight for a long time, his morale would not be very high. However, the Qing Dynasty fought on its back and forth, and he might even win.
But this Ming army suddenly ended the rest and started to attack Shengjing again. There was not much food in the city, and it was impossible to defend the city without food.
For him, if he could stabilize the situation in Shengjing, he would naturally not think about leaving his hometown and fleeing eastward. But now that the situation is serious, he has to consider it.
At this moment, suddenly there was a noise outside, and then a personal guard came up to report: "Your Majesty, the North of the city has captured a Korean bitch who was trying to contact the Ming army outside the city."
This news made Dorgon and others very angry. They brought the person up and asked and found a blood letter. It was true that there were many Korean ministers who expressed their loyalty to the Ming army in private, reviewing the friendly history with the Ming country, saying that they were forced, and just waiting for the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom to send troops to rescue them. They were willing to cooperate with the Ming army in and out of the outside...
"Your Majesty, I know that few of these Korean pigs are loyal! If you want to say that the war is imminent, the city must be stable and kill them all cleanly." Duoduo was angry. He dared not say anything to the Ming army outside the city, but he roared at these Korean pigs.
Dorgon's face looked very ugly. Looking at the name on the blood book, he seemed to be stunned for a long time before saying: "How can we rely on our Qing Dynasty last? All kinds of errands are still done by the Koreans. Fortunately, you can see that there are not many Korean officials on this list, which means that my previous rewards can indeed stabilize the hearts of a group of people..."
As he was talking, he saw another movement outside. The slap in the face was that this time, a Korean who was trying to contact the Ming army outside the city was also found in the south of the city. He also found a blood letter, which was similar to the one before, and they were all thinking about surrendering to the Ming army at the last minute.
At this moment, Dorgon's face was really ugly. The two blood letters added up, so there were a lot of North Korean officials who were unfaithful. Dodo called for a fight and a killing again, which made Dorgon fall into deep thought, obviously thinking about it.
What people didn't expect was that not long after, the North Koreans who did the same thing were caught in the east direction of the city. At this moment, Dorgon also roared: "I treat them very well. I didn't expect that these Koreans were all brave people, and they were still ungrateful wolves who were not familiar with them. Faced with danger, they did not want to work together or unite with sincerity, but they only wanted to surrender to the enemy for fear of death. It seemed that I was too kind in daily life..."
As he said this, Dorgon's eyes were extremely cold. He looked at Dodo and Ajige, and made a decision, and at the same time he was also murderous!
Under the night, Dorgon and others started to move and dispatch troops. Not long after, there was a loud noise in Shengjing City.
The Ming army outside the city was immediately on high alert to guard against the Qing Dynasty's stealing camp. At least Cao Bianjiao's order was passed on like this. Any movement in the city would be unchanged and would wait for dawn to say anything. This order can be said to be a steady move, and no one else said much.
It was almost a night of noisy and it was finally dawn.
