Chapter 646: The Arrow Pig is stronger than the Hedgehog

Seeing that everyone was silent and no one was willing to speak actively, Jirgalang had to cough, concentrate everyone's attention, and then slowly said: "What do you think about the daytime battle? I hope everyone can speak freely and discuss the country's right."

In the entire tent, there was only the sound of breathing. The reason for the journey was not good. Everyone knew that Huang Taiji was in a bad mood and did not dare to speak first, so as not to accidentally say something wrong and touch Huang Taiji's bad head. Haoge was defeated in the battle and must have been looking for a scapegoat, and they were unwilling to be this scapegoat.

In desperation, Jiergalang had to wink at his younger brother. His younger brother was Fei Yangwu, and now he is Jialazhangjing of the Inlaid Blue Flag. Like Jiergalang, Fei Yangwu is also a member of the Huang Taiji faction. Because Abatai, the owner of the Inlaid Blue Flag, went to attack Qingzhou City with some of his troops, and Fei Yangwu was commanded by the Inlaid Blue Flag soldiers who remained in northern Zhili. As the representative of the Inlaid Blue Flag, Fei Yangwu was also qualified to attend the meeting.

Fei Yangwu understood his brother's eyes, stood up quickly, and said first: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. I think we will increase the intensity of the offensive tomorrow, launch an attack from multiple aspects, take a multi-pronged approach, and break through one point. As long as we break through one point, we can strive to take the initiative."

Jirgalang nodded and said gently: "Fei Yangwu's advice is very good, what about the others?"

Fei Yangwu's speech actually had no substantive content, it was just a purely opening remark. The Jin army was unwilling to fail and would definitely launch an attack again. When launching an attack again, of course, it would be necessary to strengthen its troops. Dongjiabao is too small and too many troops cannot be used, so it would definitely launch an attack from multiple aspects. In other words, it would be necessary to include all the other three points in the target of the attack.

In general, Fei Yangwu's suggestions are quite normal. However, Fei Yangwu's words are light and his advice is not easy to see everyone's eyes. On the contrary, if these words were said from Ajig in the past, the effect would be completely different. In the absence of Yuetuo and Abatai, the one who has the most say in the military is Ajig.

In fact, this was also a small mistake made by Huang Taiji accidentally. Huang Taiji never expected that Haoge would be defeated in the battle. He transferred Yuetuo and Abatai, who were good at fighting, just to avoid the halo of the two and concealed Haoge's existence. If Haoge wants to stand out, he must surpass these predecessors. However, he did not expect that Haoge was defeated and Yuetuo and Abatai were not present, which made Ajige very prominent.

The current situation is a bit embarrassing. Apart from Haoge, Jirgalang and Huang Taiji, the other generals of the Jin army did not dare to make any military suggestions. The power of the tiger is still there, and Ajige is still here. If the suggestions he made were immature and was refuted by Ajige, wouldn’t it be boring to make it? Ajige’s mouth has always been very stinky and he has never been afraid of offending others.

As for people who are not from the Jin army, they will not be so active... Who doesn't know a little about the conflict between Huang Taiji and Ajige? If you accidentally get into a fight between the two, you might be in trouble. The Mongols followed the south to loot the population and supplies, not to fight. As for the banner owner of the Han army flag, Shang Kexi, and the commander of the Korean vassal army... do they have the right to speak?

After pondering for a moment, Debach, the representative of Zhenglan Banner, said: "Can the red-clothed cannon be closer and directly destroyed the walls of Dongjiabao? It's better to open a hole!"

This is the safest, most correct and most risk-free proposal, even Ajige would not refute it. However, saying it means not saying it. Idiots know that if they continue to attack tomorrow, the red-clothed cannon will definitely push it forward and directly knock the city wall down. One mistake will gain wisdom. If the Jin army doesn't even know this, they can kill them.

Sure enough, Jirgalang said without hesitation: "Yes."

After Debach sat down, the situation started to be in a mess again.

It is quite difficult to find a suggestion that the insurance person will not be refuted by Ajige. In addition to Huang Taiji, who else has more experience in the battlefield than Ajige? If your suggestions are wrong, it will be strange if they are not refuted by Ajige. Why bother?

Huang Taiji also felt Ajige's threat and secretly regretted that he shouldn't let Yuetuo and Abatai go at the same time. Otherwise, as long as any of them were there, Ajige's prestige could be curbed, and the people below would not be so afraid of speaking. However, both of them had already crossed the Yellow River, and it was too late to regret it now. Since the people inside did not dare to speak, let the people outside talk. So his eyes subconsciously fell on Arislan.

Arislan hurriedly said, "The warriors of the Tumot tribe are willing to participate in the attack tomorrow."

This is not a suggestion, it is a sign of determination. There is of course a reason for expressing determination at this time. Arislan is not a fool, and understands what Huang Taiji needs most at this time. At this time, what Huang Taiji needs the most is to stabilize people's hearts. So he immediately gave him a reassurance. At the same time, Arislan wanted to see if Huang Taiji really wanted to let the Mongols be cannon fodder.

Originally, the Mongols followed the Great Jin army south to loot the population and supplies, not to fight fiercely. If Huang Taiji wanted the Mongolian cavalry to fall into a fierce battle and suffered heavy losses, the complaints of the various Mongolian tribes would definitely be very fierce. If Huang Taiji wanted the Mongolians to be cannon fodder to deal with the Hu Ben Army, then it would be impossible, so everyone had to part ways.

Huang Taiji nodded slowly and said deeply: "I hope the warriors of Tumot can bring us good luck. I have always trusted your courage and determination. After breaking the city, I will definitely reward the heroes who broke the city heavily. Whoever is the first to rush into the city can receive the commendation and blessings of Chechen Khan."

Arislan's eyes sank slightly and he kept expressing gratitude. But his heart was dark. The Tumot tribe was indeed treated as cannon fodder. Huang Taiji spoke nicely, but he could not hide the fact that before the city was broken, the warriors of the Tumot tribe would inevitably be severely damaged. The strength of the Tumot tribe was greatly reduced. The Jin army's intention to let the Mongols be cannon fodder be fully revealed.

Hadan Batel next to him also looked down and didn't say anything. No one knew what he was thinking. In fact, the leader of the Halashen tribe also felt danger. Obviously, after suffering losses, Huang Taiji was interested in letting more Mongolians go to the battlefield. Judging from the daytime battle situation, it was not a good thing. The population and materials had not been snatched, but the warriors from his tribe were going to die in large numbers, and no one wanted to!

However, Hardanbatel dared not raise any objections. Although the Great Jin army has suffered a certain amount of losses at present, its overall strength is still relatively strong. On the contrary, the three major Mongolian tribes are not united with each other and can easily be defeated by the Great Jin army. Under the high pressure of the Great Jin army, they had to admit that they were sent to be cannon fodder.

Sure enough, Huang Taiji's eyes soon fell on Hardanbatel. Arislan of the Tumot tribe had expressed his determination, and it was naturally the next one to be the Halashen tribe. By the way, Huang Taiji's relationship with these two tribes is not very good.

Hadanbatel hurriedly said, "Chechen Khan, the warriors of Halashen are willing to dispatch 5,000 people to participate in the attack. They will never come back unless they take down Dongjiabao."

Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction and said inexplicably: "Halashen's grassland is beautiful, and the character of the warriors is even more beautiful. People come and give a glass of fine wine to see off the warriors."

Immediately someone brought a golden cup, filled with fine wine, and delivered it to Hardanbatel. Hardanbatel knew that he was on Huang Taiji's pirate ship and was about to suffer a significant loss. However, at this critical moment, he had to admit it. After thanking him, he hurriedly picked up the golden cup and drank it all.

After drinking the perfect wine, Hadan Batel felt that his internal organs were burning, and he felt very uncomfortable. His disgust towards Huang Taiji became stronger and stronger, but on the surface he had to respectfully express his gratitude to Huang Taiji. This time, 10,000 people came to the Halashen tribe and was knocked out by 5,000, and his strength would definitely be greatly reduced. After returning, it still has to be said whether he can firmly sit in the position of the leader of the tribe. Alas, this time he has really lost his capital.

Zaisanbuhe hurriedly said, "The warriors of the Korqin tribe are also willing to go to war."

Huang Taiji said gently: "The warriors of Korqin should continue to be responsible for curbing the enemy's central camp. This task is also very important. I can't think of anyone else to take charge of the warriors of the Korqin tribe."

Zaisanbuhe was slightly stunned, and then agreed quietly.

Arislan and Hardanbatel looked at each other and felt even more uncomfortable. Damn, it was indeed taking care of one's own people! The central camp that curbed the Hu Ben Army, that is, there was no need to directly participate in the siege. In other words, it was possible to avoid major casualties. The strength of the Korqin tribe was already very strong, but this time it avoided losses, and the strength was probably even stronger in the future.

On the contrary, the two tribes suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the many, each tribe alone lost 5,000 people, which would be a trauma. It should be noted that what they brought were all the backbones, and the loss would be a great pain. Their strength was greatly weakened, but the Korqin tribe did not suffer any losses, and the Korqin tribe would definitely be the unification of the grassland in the future.

Damn, Huang Taiji is killing people with a knife! If I had known this, I should have pretended to be sick when I was in the grassland and could not make any excuses. Now, it would be too late to regret it. At this moment, the tribe leaders of Tumote and Halashen were all regretful.

When the Ming Dynasty was strong, the Mongols were the swords of the Ming Dynasty. When the Great Jin Dynasty was strong, the Mongols were the swords of the Great Jin Dynasty. When could the poor Mongols act independently? When would the prestige of Genghis Khan be restored?

Azig suddenly coughed twice.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ajige.

Today's Ajige is quite different from yesterday. If Ajige is still dejected and listless, today's Ajige seems to have a little spirit. To be precise, it was after Haoge's defeat that Ajige became energetic. When everyone was talking just now, Ajige didn't say anything, just looked at the dome of the tent with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Obviously, this sneer was specially made for Huang Taiji to see.

Those present knew the conflict between Huang Taiji and Dorgon. Huang Taiji slapped Ajige in the face on the battlefield, and Ajige now also wanted to hit Huang Taiji back. However, no matter how you know, no one would point it out. Just seeing Ajige like this, everyone knew that Huang Taiji's mood was going to be even worse.

Sure enough, Huang Taiji's brow couldn't help but frowned. Although his frowning brows quickly stretched out and returned to their original state, as if nothing had happened. However, this subtle action was caught by many quick-minded guys. It seems that Huang Taiji was indeed very dissatisfied with Ajige's turnaround!

Indeed, Huang Taiji wanted to step Ajige on the ground, so that he would never turn over. He wanted to completely step down the three brothers Ajige and eradicate all obstacles for his own home and world road. However, Haoge's defeat gave Ajige an instant chance to turn over. This feeling is of course very bitter.

Ajige said slowly: "I think that continuing to attack will only increase casualties in vain. We can no longer bear too many casualties. I suggest luring Zhang Zhun out and destroying him in the field."

Haoge felt a little uncomfortable with Ajige's re-looking up. The biggest obstacle to his successor to Khan was Dorgon. Ajige was Dorgon's biological brother and the strongest supporter. If Ajige regained power, it would be of no benefit to him. However, he could not directly curb the other party, so he had to say deeply: "What are the ideas that Uncle Twelve can lure Zhang Zhun out?"

Ajige said: "From the daytime battle, the Hu Ben Army has made sufficient preparations to defend the city, all defense measures are quite perfect, and the power of the firearms is also very strong. If we continue to attack the city, the casualties will definitely be huge. Attacking has never been our army's strength. Unless it is necessary, we should not confront the enemy head-on. It is not worth it to touch the enemy with eggs and stones. The lives of our Great Jin warriors are very precious."

This sentence sounds like nothing wrong, it is just a matter of fact. However, those who are interested can still hear the taste. Ajige accused Haoge of being inferior to others in a vague manner. Ajige lost last time, and more than 2,000 people died, but it was still in the absence of preparation. This time, Haoge was well prepared and had a large number of siege equipment to cooperate, but still died 2,000 people died, and he also used a large number of Han military flags and Korean minions. Compared with the two, the two are at the right time.

Of course, Haoge heard the smell and immediately said a little dissatisfied: "If we fail in an attack, we dare not attack the Hu Ben Army. Wouldn't it be ridiculed by Zhang Zhun? The credibility of our Great Jin Kingdom has been devastated from now on? Uncle Twelve should know that there are many people staring around us. The emperors of the Ming Kingdom are watching us fight! We are shaking the south and retreating in shame. Maybe Uncle Twelve is not willing?"

The other senior officials of the Great Jin army here nodded thoughtfully.

Haoge pointed to a core issue, that is, the prestige of the Great Jin army. Yes, this is very important. Because this is seriously related to the face of the Great Jin army. If there were someone else in Dongjiabao, perhaps the Great Jin army could indeed have a shot and then find other places to fight. No one would say anything, the Great Jin army's strategy has always been erratic.

The question is, Zhang Zhun is in Dongjiabao. Who is Zhang Zhun? He is the most terrifying and hateful enemy since the founding of the Great Jin Kingdom. Even though he knew that Zhang Zhun was in Dongjiabao, he could not kill him, what would outsiders say? He questioned that the combat effectiveness of the Great Jin army was still light, and thought that the Great Jin army was afraid of being beaten by the Tiger Army, which was the most deadly thing.

If Zhang Zhun is let go, it will be easy to cause too many speculations. This time, the Jin army in Nanluo had a big purpose, which was to kill Zhang Zhun. Now that he knew that Zhang Zhun was in the small town of Dongjiabao, he could not kill him, wouldn’t it be ridiculed by the Ming people? The Ming people know how to slander the tiger's skin and make a big banner, and there are too many articles in it.

What's more, judging from previous combat experience, if the Ming army defended the towns, it would be harder than climbing to the sky if the Jin army wanted to seduce them out. Ajige's suggestion was very good. If Zhang Zhu was indeed so stupid that he would come out to fight against the Jin army, the Jin army would have enough ability to defeat Zhang Zhu. The question is, would Zhang Zhu be so stupid that he would come out to fight against the Jin army at night? He was deeply suspicious!

Therefore, Haoge's words are not unreasonable. If Dongjiabao is not destroyed, it is impossible to catch Zhang Zhun. If Zhang Zhun cannot be caught, even if the Jin army can razed the northern Zhili, even Shandong and Shanxi, it will not be able to solve the fundamental disaster. With time, Zhang Zhun's strength will become stronger and stronger. At that time, it will be even more difficult for the Jin army to deal with him.

Azig hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Then... continue to attack!"

After thinking for a while, Ajige thought that Hauge's doubts still make sense. The idea of ​​luring the enemy out of the field to fight was indeed impossible. Since Zhang Zhun was hiding in Dongjiabao, he probably wouldn't come out. If he wanted to catch Zhang Zhun, he had no choice but to destroy Dongjiabao. If he wanted to destroy Dongjiabao, he had to continue attacking.

Seeing Ajige agree with his opinion, Haoge finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was strange that the uncle and nephew had never had the same views when they won a battle. This time, both of them lost the battle, but they gradually began to agree with each other's opinions. Humans, they are really strange animals. Perhaps, Ajige also began to feel the crisis and temporarily put aside the internal struggles?

Zaisanbuhe took the opportunity to say, "We all work hard together and we will go down tomorrow."

Jirgalang took the opportunity to say: "Yes! Everyone should have confidence! We have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength! We will dispatch more troops tomorrow! Even if Dongjiabao is a walnut, we will smash this walnut!"

Ajig frowned and said slowly: "The superior force may not be useful!"

If Ajige had no chance to speak before. However, today, Hauge lost more people than Ajige. If Ajige did not seize this opportunity and launched a fierce counterattack against Huang Taiji, it would not be Ajige. The three Dorgon brothers had the ability to make Huang Taiji headache, and Ajige repeatedly acted as a vanguard was one of them.

Jirgalang was not afraid of Ajig at all. He heard this and said coldly: "I wish to hear it carefully."

Ajige said coldly: "It may be difficult to achieve results by increasing the troops alone. Maybe we will pay more. During the daytime battle, we have also seen that in front of the firearms of the Hu Ben Army, no matter how many people go up, they cannot open the road."

Arislan said meaningfully: "Does the Twelve Baylor think there is a better solution? Why not give me some advice?"

Ajig said honestly: "I have no good idea either. Dongjiabao is now like a hedgehog. If we don't care about it, it will not stab us. However, we just want to catch it, and it will only be stabbed."

Haoge wanted to speak but stopped.

Ajige's metaphor does have a somewhat similar meaning. The Hu Ben Army in Dongjiabao does seem to be a hedgehog, full of thorns. No matter who goes forward, you will be stabbed hard. If you don't get close, you will be fine. The problem is that the Great Jin Kingdom must catch this damn hedgehog. In this way, being stabbed is inevitable.

No one wants to prick him. It would be fine if it was just a hedgehog. At worst, it would be a pity, and even if it was a risk of pricking him, he would have to kill him. No matter how capable he is, he would never be able to prick him to death. The problem is that the Hu Ben Army seems to be not just a hedgehog, it is simply an arrow pig, much more powerful than a hedgehog. If you are not careful, you might be stabbed to death.

When Huang Taiji saw everyone's faces, he said deeply: "Are we the warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom scared like this? Did the daytime battles make you scared?"

If he came out so hard, the people below could not sit still. Huang Taiji was angry. If he didn't speak at this time, he would have to wait to wear his shoes. Besides, Manchus love honor the most. If they were afraid of being beaten by the Hu Ben Army in a battle, they would probably die of shame.

Fei Yangwu took the lead and said, "Khan, our blue flag is willing to take the lead! I will lead my army to the city tomorrow! If the city is not broken, I will never come back! Even if our blue flag warriors are about to die, they will die on the top of Dongjiabao!"

Great!
Chapter completed!
