Chapter 653: A lamp is like a bean, and you still have to vomit blood...

The night is deep, and the light is like beans.

In the conference hall of Dongjiabao, Zhang Zhun was meditating alone.

The soldiers who had fought fiercely for a day all rested early. There were only a large number of logistics service personnel, and they were still busy. In the fire, there were faint signs of sentries. Yang Zixuan and other officers were busy settling the wounded and saying goodbye to the sacrificed soldiers. Due to the need for battle, the bodies of the sacrificed martyrs will be cremated, and then the ashes will be taken back to the Laoshan Martyrs Cemetery for burial.

Zhang Zhun had just returned from condolences after condolences. At his level, these face-saving projects do not need to be involved frequently. The officers of each battalion and the condolence groups from the rear will bring the most psychological comfort to the wounded. What he needs to think about is the next action of the Hu Ben Army.

During the daytime battle, the Dingzi Camp lost a total of 500 people, within the range that Zhang Zhun could bear. Of course, for the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army, such casualties were already very large. Because one-third of the soldiers of the Dingzi Camp were gone. However, when thinking of the destroyed Tartars, everyone's sadness was soon covered up. The Tatars' losses were at least more than 10,000 people. It would be a good idea to use 500 people to exchange for 10,000 people. In the competition of manpower, who will the Hu Ben Army be afraid of?

Of course, Zhang Zhun did not dare to be too optimistic. Too optimistic means being proud and complacent, and something big will happen. The battle with the Tartars is a long and difficult task, and it is unrealistic to swallow the Tartars in one go. If Huang Taiji was really so incompetent, the Great Jin Kingdom would not eventually annex the Ming Kingdom and establish a new dynasty in the Central Plains.

No matter how much Zhang Zhun despised the Tartars, he must admit that at that time, Huang Taiji, Dorgon and others were indeed relatively outstanding talents. They made good use of the general trend of the world at that time, and then exerted their subjective initiative, and finally achieved the goal of dominating the world. Although the daytime battle ended, the battle with Huang Taiji was actually just beginning.

In the previous battle, it can only be said to have cheated Huang Taiji. Yes, it is cheated Huang Taiji. Zhang Zhun used the resentment of the Jin Dynasty towards him to carefully design a trap and then plotted against the Tartars. However, this does not mean that the Tartars were completely defeated by the Tiger Army. In fact, there is still a long way to completely defeat the Tartars.

After suffering losses, the Tartars also woke up. They would learn from this battle and would not easily be deceived by the Tiger Army in the future. This means that in the future, it is basically impossible to cheat the Tartars in this way. In the future, the Tiger Army will fight the Tartars head-on.

In fact, until now, the initiative in the war is still in the hands of the Tartars, and in the hands of Huang Taiji. No matter what Huang Taiji wants to do, Zhang Zhun can only bear it passively. After suffering losses, the Tartars will definitely avoid such a fighting method as attacking and try every means to fight against the Hu Ben Army. Zhang Zhun estimated that the Tartars might divide their troops, search everywhere, and carry out the bloodiest revenge.

With Huang Taiji's intelligence, it is not difficult to speculate that he had a plan to get involved in Bei Zhili. Therefore, Huang Taiji is very likely to adopt a three-light policy against Bei Zhili, burning up all, killing them all, and completely destroying Bei Zhili's productivity. Even if he controls Bei Zhili in the future, he will not be able to get much combat power from Bei Zhili in the short term. With the cruel personality of the Tartars, it is completely possible to do so.

In the field battle, the Hu Ben Army does not have such strength yet. Therefore, if Huang Taiji does this, Zhang Zhun can only barely watch. To be honest, once he leaves the turtle shell of Dongjiabao, the one who will be abused will be the Hu Ben Army. The road to the future is still very long!

"Mo Yu, are you ready?"

Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.

"Sir, I'm thinking, don't urge me."

Mo Yu's voice came from the next door.

"Just express the meaning, there is no need to think about the words."

Zhang Zhun said disapprovingly.

"That won't work! Sir, this letter is signed by your name, so don't make people laugh!"

Mo Yu said seriously.

"Then...you think about it slowly."

Zhang Zhun was stunned for a moment and had to say casually.

"good!"

Mo Yu's serious answer.

Zhang Zhun rolled his eyes and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. Mo Yu was really using the chicken feathers as an arrow. He actually just asked Mo Yu to think about the content of a letter. This letter was written to Chongzhen, and it was considered a private letter. Zhang Zhun hoped that after receiving his letter, Chongzhen could order the main force of the Ming army under his command to encircle the Tartars from multiple directions and give the Tartars the heaviest blow.

After the defeat in the attack on Dongjiabao, the Tartars' troops and morale fell to the lowest point, with a maximum combat effectiveness of less than 30% of the usual ones. It would not be impossible for the Ming army to make up their minds, burn their boats, dispatch all their troops to surround the Tartars, and with the assistance of the Tiger Army, the two joined forces to surround most of Huang Taiji's elites and block them and eliminate them in the territory of Northern Zhili.

According to the information provided by the Wenxiang Sect Network, Chongzhen currently has a large army of at least 200,000 people. Even if these 200,000 people are all shit, they will be enough for the Tartars to drink. The Tartars are at their weakest time now, and they can hold on to death. What's more, some of the Ming army may not be shit.

For example, Wu Sangui's Liaodong cavalry has a certain combat effectiveness. If he really fights the Tartars, it is still possible to exchange two Liaodong cavalry for one. 20,000 Liaodong cavalry and 10,000 Taurus cavalry are worth it no matter how you look at it!

This is definitely beneficial to Chongzhen. The Hu Ben Army had already severely damaged the Tartars in Dongjiabao. If the Ming army gave the Tartars another fatal blow, the threat from the Tartars outside the pass would basically be lifted. If this purpose is achieved, the Tartars' threat will basically no longer exist. At least, within a few years, Chongzhen would not have to worry about being under heavy pressure from the Tartars.

Of course, there are many difficulties to achieve this goal. The imperial court and the Hu Ben Army were originally suspicious and guarding against each other. Whether Chongzhen would accept Zhang Zhun's suggestions was still a little bit. In his opinion, Zhang Zhun's suggestions were kind-hearted, but in the opinion of the imperial court, it meant to drive away wolves and tigers and kill people with a knife. Therefore, it was very difficult to cooperate with the imperial court.

Chongzhen's jealousy towards him, Zhang Zhun was not inferior to Huang Taiji. For Chongzhen, what was the most important thing? It was the country, the people's livelihood? It was not! It was his lord of the emperor, the throne of the emperor! Huang Taiji might not have the intention to seize his throne of the emperor, but Zhang Zhun openly put forward a banner to pull him off the throne of the emperor.

The relationship between the Tartars, the court and the Hu Ben Army is really too complicated. It is like the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. It is inevitable to unite and intrigue. Since the Hu Ben Army can join forces with the court and deal with the Tartars together, it is not impossible for the court and the Tartars to join forces to deal with him. For the sake of profit, anything can be done.

However, it is his business whether Chongzhen accepts the suggestion. Whether or not to make suggestions is Zhang Zhun's business. If Chongzhen is not willing to seize such a good opportunity, he can only say that Chongzhen is really a foolish monarch. There is no need to be polite to a fool.

Unconsciously, Zhang Zhun had already placed his position on an equal footing with Chongzhen and Huang Taiji. When he was thinking about the future of the Hu Ben Army, the two of them should also be thinking about their respective futures, right?

...

Huang Taiji was vomiting blood.

After the battle, Huang Taiji's face was not very good. However, there was no major situation at all. In the eyes of his subordinates, Huang Taiji was still very calm and was not hit by the defeat of the battle. However, after returning to his golden tent, Huang Taiji finally couldn't help it and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood.

After two consecutive days of attack, the losses of the Jin army were too heavy. According to incomplete statistics, the troops of the Zhenghuang Banner lost more than 20%. The troops of the Inlaid Yellow Banner lost more than 40%. The troops of the other flags were all lost more than half. Fortunately, the elite troops of the vanguard battalion were still there, otherwise Huang Taiji would highly doubt whether his position could still be firmly in his Khan position.

The Mongols also suffered a lot of losses. At the other three points, they also suffered strong counterattacks from the Hu Ben Army. Those who rushed up were stunned and then all fell into the sea of ​​blood. Five thousand people went up, and less than five hundred people came back. The others all became the prey of the Hu Ben Army.

By this time, Huang Taiji had completely understood. He was fooled. Zhang Zhun was not caught by the Jin army inadvertently, but was waiting for him to take the bait in Dongjiabao. In the past, the Jin army could not understand what Zhang Zhun was going to do when he appeared in Hejian Mansion, but now he finally understood that others were digging a hole for the Jin army. As a result, the Jin army accidentally fell into this big hole and fell all over his head.

Everything Zhang Zhun prepared in Dongjiabao and other strongholds was to cause losses to the Jin army. Zhang Zhun's only purpose was to reduce the number of the Jin army. This cunning opponent had accurately grasped the fatality of the Jin Kingdom. The most deadly part of the Jin Kingdom was that it lacked manpower and insufficient troops. This time, he lost so many soldiers at Dongjiabao, so no wonder Huang Taiji vomited blood.

Among the three major Mongolian tribes, the Korqin tribe suffered the most. They followed the Great Jin army to attack Dongjiabao and were very brave in attacking. Zaisanbuhe is worthy of being the most loyal ally of the Great Jin Kingdom, and it is impossible to say what to do. The Korqin tribe dispatched all of them were elites, and Zaisanbuhe even sent his own sons. Unfortunately, the counterattack they suffered was particularly strong and the losses suffered were the most serious. Zaisanbuhe's son was also bravely killed in battle.

The casualties of the Halashen tribe and the Tumot tribe were also very serious. What's more serious is that the lost people of these two tribes were all trying to surrender to him Huang Taiji. Needless to say, this was obviously the killing plan of Hadanbatel and Arislan.

"These two guys, sooner or later, settle the score with you."

Huang Taiji thought in his heart with disappointment.

The losses of the Han army flag were also very large, and the Korean vassal army was wiped out. Fortunately, Shang Kexi was still alive, and the red-clothed cannons of the Jin army were basically still there. Huang Taiji simply ordered Shang Kexi to organize the Han army flag and the remnants of the Korean vassal army together and be commanded by Shang Kexi.

The loss is too great, it is really too great.

Fortunately, he decisively ordered a retreat, otherwise the troops would suffer greater losses.

After withdrawing the troops, Huang Taiji immediately released all the remaining troops to burn, kill and loot, and used crazy killing to vent the soldiers' anger and fear. Otherwise, the soldiers would be deeply shrouded in the atmosphere of defeat and would inevitably cause mutiny. At the same time, releasing everyone around him could also effectively prevent them from questioning themselves.

Although Huang Taiji believed that his decision was not wrong, as long as he did not win, he would have to bear the responsibility. As the king of the Great Jin Kingdom, if he could not seek benefits for the Great Jin Kingdom, he would be abandoned by others.

"Ah Hun, are you a little better?"

Jirgalang next to him asked with concern.

"Adou, do you think we still have a chance to make a comeback?"

Huang Taiji coughed and said bitterly.

"certainly!"

Jirgalang's unthinking answer.

"Why are you so confident?"

Huang Taiji asked in a close pursuit.

"Ah Hun, we were just a temporary mistake this time. We still have strength. As long as we plunder enough population and materials, go back to Liaodong and rest for three or five years, our strength will definitely be able to slowly recover."

Jirgalang said hurriedly.

"Three or five years... do you think the Hu Ben Army will give us such a long time?"

Huang Taiji smiled bitterly.

"That depends on what Chongzhen means."

Jirgalang said meaningfully.

Huang Taiji's eyes flashed slightly and he said deeply: "Very good, you have the fullest plan!"

Jirgalang nodded and agreed to go.

Huang Taiji stood silently at his desk for a while, then found a black pill, poured a bowl of water himself, and drank it. In fact, this time was not the time for him to take the medicine. However, next, he still had a lot to do, and he had to maintain strong energy.

In front of his subordinates, he must always maintain the image of Khan, especially when the battle is unfavorable. Huang Taiji did not think it was a failure in the previous battle, but it was just a failure. He also had the vanguard battalion, the main force of the Zhenghuang Banner and the Inlaid Yellow Banner, and could also fight against the Hu Ben Army.

As long as the Hu Ben Army leaves Dongjiabao, he will let the other party know the power of the Great Jin army's cavalry!
Chapter completed!
