Chapter 11 The Lost Qingcheng (3)

Dorgon was completely wiped out and his whereabouts were unknown, which had already caused Huang Taiji to suffer a huge blow. Although he had always been suspicious and guarded against his younger brother, he had to admit that his military talent was stronger than his own, except for the older generation of generals and immortality. In addition to his eldest son Haoge, the younger generation, he was the most prestigious and popular. However, he never expected that Bai Yantaiji, who had tens of thousands of troops and was on the defensive, died and died in less than three days.

I heard that this time it was the Ming army's artillery. Under tens of thousands of shells, the city wall of Qingcheng was blown up to nothing, and few soldiers guarding the city wall survived completely. Under such a cruel and violent blow, Bai Yan had no power to fight back at all. Join him and chose to abandon Qingcheng's foundation. If he broke through, he might not have ended up now!

In the golden tent, Huang Taiji looked at the battle report from Qingcheng and said nothing for a long time. A solid city was taken down under the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army in less than three days. This not only subverted the previous siege practices, but also gave Huang Taiji a wake-up call. The big sword and spear should withdraw from the stage of history. Next is artillery, the world of hot weapons. The Ming Dynasty has taken a big step forward. What should the Jin Kingdom do?

Now the 160,000 troops have crossed the Xing'an Mountains and stationed in the Duyan River, Korqin, Zarut, Bahrain, Naiman, Aohan, Kalaqin, Tumote, Arukorqin, Wenniut, Asut and other ministers, as well as the Later Jin, Korean and Han generals gathered in Huang Taiji's golden tent to discuss the conquest and confront the Chahar Mongolian matters.

Lin Danhan's 150,000 troops gathered together, waiting for the battle to prepare for the battle.

The main army under Lin Danhan was six thousand households directly under the Central Army and sixty thousand elite cavalry. Lin Danhan made a lot of money, both in terms of personnel, selection of war horses, and distribution of weapons and equipment. He also established a musket team directly under the command of Lin Dan, with 3,000 people. In addition, many red-clothed cannons eliminated from the Ming Dynasty were sold to Lin Danhan for more than a dozen of s. The strength cannot be underestimated.

On the other hand, Huang Taiji's side, 40,000 iron cavalry almost collected half of the money from the Later Jin Dynasty, and the 40,000 iron armored army was also the most elite infantry of the Later Jin Dynasty. The newly formed Eight Banners Army of Mongolia, Han and North Korea were all foils and strong. Therefore, only about 100,000 people were really put out to fight, and they were slightly better than Chahar Mongolia in terms of strength.

The war is about to break out!

Man Gui was busy in Qingcheng. Although Qingcheng, a famous city outside the border, will be handed over to Elinchen in the future, the Guanning Iron Cavalry will still need to be stationed here for a while. Moreover, this time, Bai Yan's tens of thousands of troops under his command were killed and injured on the city wall, the battle ended soon afterwards, and the overall casualties were not large. The original Tumote tribe surrendered to Elinchen, and the former Halashen tribe was afraid that Elinchen would retaliate against them in the future, so he wanted to migrate collectively to Subudi. Man Gui got the news and personally met with several Halashen tribe's ministers Taiji and persuaded them to join the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, because of the Ming Dynasty's restriction on the army of Elinchen, many Mongolian soldiers would put down their swords and become ordinary herders.

Man Gui took the opportunity to join the Ming army as a Mongolian. The treatment was extremely generous, and he died in battle and had a high pension. This attracted many young and strong Mongolian soldiers to join. Originally, the Mongolian grassland was a creed of the strong as respect, and they always followed the footsteps of the strong. The Ming Dynasty was strong, so naturally he followed the Ming Dynasty.

Elinchen was naturally quite dissatisfied with Man Gui's practice of recruiting large numbers of soldiers among the Mongolians, but because his army had reached the upper limit, he did not dare to fall out with Man Gui at this time, so he could only swallow his anger and watch Man Gui recruit batches of strong Mongolian warriors under his command and was helpless!

One side came prepared, and the other side was prepared. Therefore, although the atmosphere before the war was unprecedentedly tense, both sides actually maintained restraint.

The overall strength of Chahar Mongolia is far from that of the Later Jin Dynasty. Whether in terms of financial resources, manpower and material resources, Chahar Mongolia cannot afford to fight with the Later Jin Dynasty, but the Later Jin Dynasty cannot defeat Chahar Mongolia at once. Lin Danhan still has the strength in one battle.

Huang Taiji had concerns in his heart. He didn't know what attitude the Ming Dynasty would take once the war started. Moreover, Bai Yantaiji had already perished. Without this secret ally to help him restrain the 20,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry under Man Gui. These 20,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry will decide the victory or defeat on the battlefield at a critical moment.

Now he was almost certain that the 20,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry would definitely intervene in the war between the Great Jin Dynasty and the Chahar Mongols, but Huang Taiji did not have accurate grasp in the early or mid or late stages.

In fact, whether Chahar Mongolia is strong or the Later Jin is powerful, it is not what the Ming Dynasty needs. It is best if they fight this battle to both lose money, and then the Ming Dynasty comes forward to clean up the mess and the fisherman will benefit.

Of course, this is a tacit thing. Daming himself would not say it. The Later Jin monarch and ministers knew it. Lin Dan didn't say it, but he had already scolded Zhu Yinglong in his heart. Although he inevitably wanted to fight Huang Taiji, he didn't expect it to come so quickly and it was so fierce that he almost used all his family background to barely resist Huang Taiji's military attack. The retreating road was locked up again. If the war could not be defeated, it would have to look at other people's faces in the future. He felt depressed.

The only thing that can help him now is his hardcore ally, Khalkha, Mongolian Khalkha, in the northern desert. When he received the news, Quetuhan arranged tribal affairs and was rushing over with his 20,000 men.

Even if these 20,000 troops arrive, they will only have a slight advantage in terms of military strength. The key is to finally see the attitude of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty stands on his side, even if this war starts, the Later Jin Dynasty will not benefit much. If the Ming Dynasty remains silent and sits in the mountains and watches the tiger fight, it will be a situation where both sides suffer losses.

Of course, Lin Dan is still a little confident. With his current family background, Huang Taiji still can't get anything good in his hands!

Wars often happen under unexpected circumstances. Although Huang Taiji led a large army to the city, he did not intend to attack for a while. Both sides seemed to be waiting for something, whether it was the timing or excuse, it was an opportunity, an opportunity to make the opponent fatal or suffer a major loss with one blow.

Huang Taiji naturally had an excuse. Dorgon's five thousand army was wiped out, and he was surrounded and annihilated by the Mongolian cavalry of Chahar. His whereabouts are unknown. With this, there is a reason to avenge his brother.

However, although Lin Danhan was depressed, he was also in the dark about the Ming Dynasty and was led by the Ming Dynasty. However, Dorgon's five thousand troops entered the territory of Chahar Mongolia for no reason. Even if they were surrounded and annihilated by Chahar's cavalry, it was understandable that who would let you secretly run to other people's territory? If you don't encircle and annihilate whom you would encircle and annihilate?

Both sides felt that they were right, so they fought the verbal battle. The militants below did not have the restrained wisdom of the superiors and spoke directly with their fists. The fuse of the war actually had a certain relationship with Dorgon, but if it were to be said directly, the person involved was still Oboi!

After Aobai and Wu Sangui arrived at Mangui camp, they had only one breath left due to excessive blood loss, so it was not appropriate to rush on the road. So Wu Sangui and Mangui discussed and left Obai in a major nutritional injury. When it was better on the market, it would not be too late to escort back to Beijing.

Obai had a younger brother named Murima, who was very impulsive, but he obeyed his elder brother. He was also following the army of Huang Taiji to conquer Chahar Mongolia in the third battle. He also became a Niu Luezhen, and his subordinates were in charge of the 38 Banners. He didn't know where he heard the news, saying that his elder brother Aobai was seriously injured and captured. Maybe he didn't hear clearly who Obai was captured. So one night, while patrolling outside the camp, he quietly sneaked into the Chahar Mongolian Army camp with a few confidants to find out where his elder brother Aobai was locked up. Unfortunately, Chahar Mongolia agreed to be very strict in defense. Before he could finish, he was soon discovered. He simply did not sneak into too deep. After a thrilling battle, he actually let him run out.

Now the Chahar Mongolian camp was in trouble. I thought it was the Later Jin army attacking the camp at night. Tens of thousands of troops immediately gathered together, opened the camp gate, and rushed towards the camp opposite the river across the Hou Jin!

Although the Later Jin Dynasty was always on guard against the Chahar Mongolian army's sneak attacks at any time, it did not expect that the Chahar Mongolian army would launch together and rush over with a huge momentum, which was simply a secret sneak attack!

Huang Taiji was resting in his central army's golden tent. Suddenly, he heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping outside, shouting and killing. He jumped up from the marching couch in shock, put on armor, held a sword in his hand, and rushed out.

I saw that the camp gate was filled with fire, and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky, as if a large number of Mongolian cavalry were attacking.

"What's going on?" Huang Taiji had been in war for half his life, so how could he not know that he should stay calm at this time?

"It was the Mongolian army attacking the camp!" A guard next to Huang Taiji came to report quickly.

"Surprise camp, so let's say that, this old boy Lin Dan will do it first!" Huang Taiji sneered, took the war horse led by the guards, jumped up, shouting, "Let's go, let's take a look!"

No one dared to object to what Huang Taiji decided. Even if they all knew that Huang Taiji was the leader of a country and could not easily take risks, no one dared to come forward to persuade him.
