In the hall of the mountain city garrison in Nanrufeng Mountain, Jinzhou, although Dorgon did not like his nephew Hauge, he nodded after hearing his words. The two uncles and nephews had the same idea.
They all plan to show weakness to the enemy first, making them arrogant, and then use the trick of deceiving defeat to lure them into a preset ambush circle. Even if they cannot defeat them in one battle, they can at least cut off most of their troops, and then
Unable to break the siege of Jinzhou.
Dorgon's face was calm and his eyes were sharp. When the generals looked at him, they were speechless. They only listened to him ask: "Tazhan, can you find out in detail what soldiers and horses have come from the Ming Dynasty?"
Ta Zhan straightened himself up and replied: "King Huirui, the sentry report is that the soldiers and horses of Liaodong Commander Liu Zhaoji and Xuanzhen Commander Yang Guozhu are present at Xingshan Fort. The soldiers and horses of Songshan are Bai Guangen of Ji Town, Miyun Tangtong, and Qiantun.
Wang Tingchen and three soldiers.
In addition, there were over 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Ming Governor Hong Chengchou, as well as Ma Ke from Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui from Ningyuan, and Wang Pu from Datong.
A rough estimate is that there were eleven to twenty thousand soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty. According to common sense, the number of horses should be seven at three paces, and at most six at four paces. The infantry would be 80,000, and the cavalry would not exceed 40,000."
Although Ta Zhan was responsible for the sentinel inspection of the Ming army, like other Qing generals, he was always confused about the relationship between the various departments of the Ming army.
Therefore, they considered all the soldiers and horses under Zhang Cheng's command as Yang Guozhu's men in Xuanzhen, but Zhang Cheng was carrying the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuanzhen.
The ASEAN General Soldier Cao Bianjiao, the Chinese Association General Soldier Zuo Guangxian, the Shanxi General Soldier Li Fuming and other generals are all considered as direct subordinates of Governor Hong Chengchou. As for the ASEAN General Soldier Meng Dao, Liaodong Deputy General Zu Dale and others are all direct subordinates.
Counted among the local soldiers and horses in Liaodong.
Anyway, no matter how many Ming armies came and how many soldiers and horses there were, in their eyes they were just rabbits who came to deliver armor and weapons. They could just chase them away, and there was no need to spend so much time thinking about the relationship between them.
"snort!"
Before Dorgon could say anything, Hauge snorted heavily in his nose and said: "Although there are many soldiers and horses of the Ming Dog, they are all improvised and have their own little plans. In my opinion, the Ming Dog is getting better and better."
The more we have, the better our battle will be.
As long as we, the Qing warriors, can annihilate one of the Ming armies as quickly as possible, the rest will be frightened and have no desire to fight, and may even run away at night so as to save their lives and go back to continue to dominate!"
"Hahaha
Everyone burst into laughter again. It seemed that everyone agreed with what Hauge said and did not think that the Ming army would fight to the death under Jinzhou City.
Although Dorgon was more cautious in his heart, he did not take the coming reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty seriously.
He was just thinking about how to distribute the troops so that he could defeat the troops coming to aid the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible while minimizing the loss of his own Qing warriors. In this way, after encircling and annihilating the Ming troops, conquering Jinzhou, and breaking through the last line of defense in Liaodong, Ming Dynasty, his own position in the Qing Dynasty would be reduced.
The prestige will increase a lot.
Dorgon couldn't help but think of Huang Taiji, Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who was in Shengjing City again. Since the death of the eighth prince born to Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen had been worried day and night, and her emperor brother had become increasingly haggard.
He did not dare to think further. After regaining consciousness, he scanned the people in the hall with a pair of rat eyes. Finally, his eyes stopped on Dororo Yubeile Abatai.
I just heard him call kindly: "Brother Qi"
Abatai trembled when he called him "Seventh Brother", and he said nervously: "Fourteenth Brother, no matter what you ask, Abatai will do his best and never be vague."
Although he said this, Abate's heart was already in turmoil. For many years, not only Huang Taiji, the eighth brother who was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, did not want to see him, but also the newly rising younger generation in power like Dorgon. Pai didn't like him very much either.
After all, Dorgon is still his younger brother of the same generation. This man is both clever and ghostly. Abatai is manipulated by him, and in his heart he is actually a little afraid of him.
However, the next generation of young talents such as Hao Ge, Shuo Hua, and Man Dahai also disliked him, including Yue Tuo who was beheaded by Zhang Cheng's formation in the 12th year of Chongzhen.
Dorgon nodded, and then continued to speak warmly to him: "Seventh brother, among all the generals, you are the most solemn, and you are actually a minister who plans the country.
Now we want to implement a strategy to lure the enemy, and the most difficult thing to do is to fake defeat. If we lose early, the enemy may not pursue us, but if we lose too late, we are afraid that it will be difficult to escape.
In my opinion, among all the generals, you are the only one who can shoulder such an important task."
Dorgon praised him so much in front of the generals, and Abatai felt really benefited from it. Although he knew that the battle to lure the enemy was the most difficult to fight, if he hit it hard, the Ming army's forward might retreat. If he hit it lightly, once he could not hold back, If you hold on, your side may really be defeated, and it will be extremely difficult to control the heat.
But receiving such public praise from Dorgon made it difficult for him to refuse, so he had to clasp his fists and say: "Prince Rui has his destiny, Abate dares to disobey him!"
Dorgon curled up his lips and smiled, and then said: "My army is camped in the south of Jinzhou City, mostly on the east side of Rufeng Mountain, and Shimen Mountain in the northeast is the strategic point between pines and brocades, and it is actually a must-attack place for the Ming army. also."
"Ahem
He coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and then said: "I expected that the Ming army would definitely attack this place when it arrived, so I divided my troops into two groups to guard the east-west mountain road of Shimen Mountain.
Prince Su, Hauge, led Abatai and other Zhenglan Banners, warriors from the Xiangbai Banner and various Mongolian departments from the outer domain to guard the West Shimen Mountain Road; I led Du Du and others from the Xianglan Banner, warriors from the Zhengbai Banner and Korean musketeers to guard the West Shimen Mountain Road.
The two of us each went out with Abatai and Dudu, set up camp at the intersection of the road, and set up ambushes separately. If the Ming army came to attack, we should try our best to hold on and retreat slowly, while the main force would be stationed in hidden places along the way.
As soon as the enemy entered the narrow area of the mountain road, their elite cavalry came out in all directions, divided them into several sections, and annihilated them one by one."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Hauge beside him and asked, "Prince Su, what else do you have to say?"
Haug stared with big eyes and thought to himself: "Humph. You have already assigned everything before you come to ask me for my opinion!"
But he said: "I have no objection to this allocation. However, in addition to Rufeng Mountain, Huangtu Ridge, Maojiagou Songshan Ridge and other places must also be fortified."
Dorgon continued with a non-smiling smile: "Hey, it was natural then."
He turned around and arranged for the Zhenghong Banner to Gushan'e, Zhenmanhua and Leshuohua to guard Huangtu Ridge, the red flag to Gushan'e, Zhenmandahai to guard Maojia_gou, and the Baya Lahuzhangjing Yildeng to guard Songshan Ridge. Wait for a few places.
Baya Lazhang Jingta Zhan was arranged to plan an ambush in Shimen Mountain. He led his Baya La warriors to ambush in Shimen Mountain. As soon as the Ming army entered Qing, whether at East Shimen or West Shimen, he had to be there in time. Lead the troops to intercept.
At the same time, some elites from Zhenghongqi and Xianghongqi were also mobilized to set up an ambush in Shimen Mountain. After all, the ambush here was the focus. Next, Dorgon discussed some specific details about the ambush with Hauge and other generals, and then Start getting ready.
