Chapter 309 Riding a Tiger

"Is this the armor of Xia Thief..."

Dorgon seemed to be talking to himself: "Simple and light, incapable of swords and guns, and cannot penetrate the gun. After wearing armor, there is no flaw in his body except for a pair of eyes. I probably already know how Abatai was wiped out at the beginning. I also know why the Qiantun Guard can be so strong."

At the hall, the important officials and generals of the Qing Dynasty were silent.

Since the stalemate with the Xia army, the Qing Dynasty has gradually discovered that their previous understanding of the Xia army was so ridiculous and underestimated. Six thousand armored soldiers? The mountains and sea passes are all armored soldiers, tens of thousands! How can they be the only one in Qiantun Guard?

This is not counting. The troops at Shanhaiguan are now estimated to be no more than 30,000. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops that Dorgon had swayed the country, it is less than one-tenth. If it is all armored soldiers, they may not lose. But armored armored soldiers are invulnerable, which is troublesome.

Except for a pair of eyes, arrows cannot be shot through in other places, guns cannot be used, and swords, guns, swords, and halberds are completely useless. Apart from artillery, there is almost no possibility of armor-breaking. Even artillery, if hit within a certain distance, may not be able to kill people.

Faced with such iron cans, the Eight Banners elite soldiers who were invincible became paper-paste garbage.

Over the years, Shanhaiguan has dispatched 3,000 troops to fight against the Qing army on the front line of the back-blind barrier. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have no specific targets. They will hit the back-blind barrier today and hit the Qiankou tomorrow. They will either hit the Yong'an Fort or Gaoling Post, not for breaking the city, but only for killing and injury.

In just seven or eight days, more than 40,000 soldiers on the front line, mainly Koreans and the eight banners of the Han Dynasty, died and injured more than 40,000 people died at their hands every day, all of which were cut off their heads and piled up outside Shanhaiguan to build Jingguan.

Such losses, even if they were not the direct lineage of the Eight Banners, made Dorgon feel pain enough. After receiving these war reports earlier, he was still furious, saying that these vassal troops did not work hard, and had severely punished several generals.

But later, I gradually realized something was wrong, so yesterday, ten Niulu 3,000 elite soldiers were dispatched, and when Shanhaiguan soldiers attacked Gaolingyi, they suddenly came out from the side. This battle finally made Dorgon feel the pain of his skin.

The elite soldiers of the Three Thousand Eight Banners were almost wiped out, and their results were the armor on Dorgon's body. The only one.

After paying the lives of the three thousand eight banner elite soldiers, the lives of the eight thousand Gaoling Post guards took such an armor from the Shanhaiguan army.

Dorgon showed a harsh self-deprecating: "It's great that just one armor can cost more than 10,000 people."

It’s not that the soldiers are not trying their best, but that the enemy is too strong.

The three thousand soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan were not without losses, not just one person was lost. Under the impact of the Tartars' casualties, there were always unlucky guys who were injured to the vital points. However, it was very difficult to seize the corpses. Every soldier who died in battle had to bring back their bodies, just like the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Tartars. The Tartars fought against the Ming court, and there were also casualties, but whenever they retreated smoothly, they could still take away the bodies of their tribesmen, and not many fell into the hands of the Ming court.

This is even more true for Ying Yi's troops.

In order to seize this armor, a clever general of the Tartars stripped off the armor and discarded the bodies of the Shanhaiguan soldiers to achieve their goal. Otherwise, they would have to fight to the death, and the Tatars would suffer more than ten thousand people in the end.

This battle allowed Dorgon and other high-level Qing dynasties to fully see the enemy's might. The original desire for more than half of the chance of winning in his heart suddenly dropped to freezing point. Fortunately, Dorgon saw the hidden dangers and made people block the news. Otherwise, the Tartar army at Sanshanying Fort would have lost all morale.

what to do?

This question is before the Tartars, and they are in a dilemma.

The three thousand eight banner elite soldiers, tens of thousands of subordinate troops, were besieged by a general in Shanhaiguan, but more than 10,000 were killed, and countless injured people were harvested. This was only three thousand. There were at least 20,000 such troops in Shanhaiguan, and there were still six thousand of them in Qiantun Guards.

So what about the inner wall?

The enemies of the Qing Dynasty were definitely not just 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers.

By this time, Dorgon's support for the two Tatars was already shaken. He also did not have much expectations for the troops of Sharhuda, which were attacked by the water.

So what should I do?

decisive battle?

retreat?

If it is a decisive battle, what is the chance of victory?

Retreat? Can you withdraw smoothly? If you withdraw, what should you do in the future? Will Ying Yi let them go?

The bloody facts were in front of me, making Dorgon restless all night.

"Tell me all."

Dorgon said indifferently.

All speechless.

After a long time, a decadent voice came: "Retreat."

When I saw it, it turned out to be Hauge.

I was full of energy before, but I never saw each other again. Only the beard was slag and bloodshot in my eyes, and my face was pale and decadent.

Qiantun Guard gave Haoge a heavy blow, and almost all his troops fell under Qiantun Guard, and he was also taken away by Dorgon and was the general for Bele.

He realized the power of the enemy, and was discouraged and never expected any more.

"It's easy to say!" Duoduo said, "Retreat? Haogebeile thought that the Xia army in Shanhaiguan would watch us retreat smoothly? Besides, it was withdrawn. What should we do in the future? The enemy will not let us go! Think about the Ming Dynasty, since Zhu Yuanzhang, how many years have they fought with the Tatars? The Han people will never let us go because of our retreat. We have a grudge against them!"

"What do you think you should do?" Haoge roared: "We can't beat them! If we lose too many of our tribes, what should we use to suppress the Tatars? What should we use to suppress the Koreans? They will bite back and we will destroy the clan without waiting for the Han people to attack!"

Duoduo was speechless.

"It's hard to get rid of a tiger..."

Dorgon sighed.

...

Shanhaiguan.

"In a few days, there have been many gains, but the Donglu must have felt a pain in his skin." Ying Yi read the battle report and said lightly: "If only he was following the army, no matter how many people died, it would be painful. However, the elite soldiers of the Donglu headquarters were almost wiped out in the field battle. They should have remembered Abatai's lesson."

As he spoke, Ying Yi looked into the distance: "The news about Qian Yue should be coming soon, right? In two days, a decisive battle must be fought, otherwise there is no guarantee that the Tartars will not escape."

Zhu Bingkun said: "Returning to the Lord, it is logical that Lao Qian's troops have completed the established strategic goals. With the speed of our army's itinerary, it will take up to five days from the Korqin Grassland to Jinzhou. Now it has been seven or eight days, and the situation here should be clear."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "No matter whether Qian Yue's news arrives or not, we will only wait two days. Two days later, August 15th, and when the moon is full, we will send troops to attack. You will be prepared and be sure to kill and injure the troops of the Donglu headquarters as much as possible."
