After Prince Li Daishan inquired about the losses of each banner, he encouraged the generals to send all their anger towards the Ming Dynasty's sneak attack back to him on the battlefield. He then gave some instructions on today's battle, and immediately
Everyone was ordered to return to their own banners, clean up the remains, and light fires to make food.
Although the two princes, Hauge and Azig, both shouted and volunteered, Prince Li Daishan did not pay attention. He just arranged for Kong Youde's God's Blessing Army, as well as the Mongolian Lianghuangqi and Zhenghongqi troops to prepare the troops.
Preparations for the first wave of battle.
After the princes and Gushan Ezhen withdrew, Daishan ordered his attendant Geshiha to summon Prince Haoge of Su, Prince Azige of Wuying County, and Gushan Ezhen, who was wearing a yellow flag in Manchuria.
Come.
After Azig entered Daishan's royal tent, he calmly sat down on the big chair on the right side. He asked: "Prince Li summoned you again, but do you want to order my warriors to go out to fight and be the vanguard of the army?"
He is different from Hauge. Daishan is Hauge's uncle after all. Although he is old, he controls the two red flags and is still second only to Huang Taiji in strength in the Qing Dynasty. Even if Hauge, as the prince of the Qing Dynasty, has
He didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of him.
But Azige and Daishan are half-brothers, and when the Azige brothers were suppressed by Huang Taiji, Daishan also protected them. There is still some friendship in this.
Although Daishan's original intention was not to really protect the three Azige brothers, he just didn't want Huang Taiji to grow stronger. He was also afraid that after Huang Taiji defeated all his opponents, he would slash the butcher's knife at him.
But even so, when Azig grew up, he blamed Daishan for taking Dorgon away from him as the leader of the Zhengbai Banner, secretly blaming him for not doing anything to stop Huang Taiji.
Moreover, as he got older, Azig's temper became increasingly irritable, and he became impulsive and irritable, and he looked down on his aging elder brother.
Therefore, when he spoke to his peers, he was not very respectful. When there were many people in King Cai's tent, he had restrained himself, but now his true colors are revealed.
However, Daishan didn't take it seriously. He said in a friendly manner: "Brother Azig, you have always been brave. Who in our Qing Kingdom doesn't know that?
Now, it is the first time I hold the white flag in my hand, and I am eager to make achievements in front of the battle and establish prestige to convince the crowd. I can understand my eagerness, but our warriors of the Qing Dynasty are so valuable, how can I rush to the front and be used as cannon fodder in vain?
"
Daishan's face suddenly darkened, his tone became cold, and he continued: "The emperor returned to Luanshengjing and entrusted Jinzhou to us and Prince Rui. We should think about how to defeat the Ming army so as not to worry about the emperor.
When a large army fights, it is important to make a plan, not just to rely on bravery. Although it is very enjoyable to charge, if you cannot defeat the enemy in one go, the war will drag on for a long time, wasting our country's food and grass, and it will be of no benefit to the Qing Dynasty.
.”
When he said this, his eyes widened, he was not angry, and he continued with an increasingly cold tone: "You and others are loyal and good to our Qing royal family. We should always keep the overall situation in mind and do not seek selfish gains.
He was happy, but he missed the plan.
If you are unworthy of your trust in the Emperor, even if you have a few heads, they will not be enough to cut you off!"
Even though Daishan is already sixty years old and looks quite senile, after all, he is also a veteran who has been fighting for his whole life, and his power is still there. At this moment, he has a majestic look on his face, and Hauge, Azige and others are all attracted by him.
Shocked, I dare not say a word again.
Seeing this situation, Dai Shan felt quite satisfied, but he still said with a majestic look: "Bai Yin Tu..."
Manchuria is inlaid with yellow flags on the forehead of the mountain. When I heard Daishan calling his name, I hurriedly stood up from my seat and bowed to listen.
Just listen to Daishan continue: "...You set up three warriors with yellow flags, and go to the Mongolian two yellow flags and the red flag formation to help in the battle. Before noon, no gongs were heard, but there were those who shrank and were timid, and they could not be killed immediately.
Rare!"
"嗻!"
Baiyintu received the order loudly, but he was aware of it in his heart. He knew that the three Jia La he sent were said to be to assist in the battle, but in fact they were used to supervise the battle team.
However, the Qing army has always been like this. Not to mention the banners of the Han army and the Eight Mongolian Banners, even the Manchu banners often used heavily armored Bagala warriors as supervising troops at the back, but they did not charge bravely in front of the formation, or
It was because he was timid and retreated, or he was beheaded on the spot.
When Baiyintu received the order, he sat back in his chair and already planned which three Jia La to send to carry out the task of supervising the battle.
At this time, the voice of Prince Li Daishan came again: "Ajige and Hauge, your two banners, each have two warriors of Jia La, and form an array in front of the camp of the Chinese army. The warriors of the remaining banners are all in the camp."
You are allowed to rest in the camp and are not allowed to move without permission. Anyone who leaves the camp without orders will be killed immediately."
"嗻...嗻!"
When Hauge and Azig heard this, they were both stunned, but they had no choice but to stand up and take the order.
Although Daishan and Haoge are both princes, in terms of seniority, he is Haoge's uncle. Even Huang Taiji, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, respectfully calls him "elder brother".
Therefore, Daishan dared to call Hauge by his name, and based on his seniority, he placed Azig in front of Hauge. Hauge did not dare to complain at all about this.
But what Prince Daishan meant was that his blue flag and Azige's white flag seemed to be idle all morning, which made Hauge very dissatisfied.
He cupped his fists and said, "Prince Li, Ming Gou is right in front of my camp, but why don't you send me the Zhenglan Banner to fight? Moreover, the Mongolian two yellow flags and the Zhenghong Banner are mainly defensive. Could it be that Ming Gou is too cowardly?"
Faced with Hauge's cross-examination, Daishan's expression remained unchanged, and he just asked lightly: "What do the southern troops want when they cross the river to the north?"
Seeing that Hauge was stunned when he heard this, he immediately continued: "The Southern Army has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and the supply of food and grass is difficult. In addition, the Southern Emperor is pressing hard, and he is very eager to break the siege, so he took the risk."
Cross the river and come north.
So, how can we be willing to defend the river bank instead of advancing north?"
At this time, Dai Shan's presbyopic eyes suddenly shone brightly, and his face also showed a little divine light. He continued with a little excitement: "If you continue to attack the north, wouldn't it play into our hands? There are two yellow flags and a red flag of Mongolia.
In the front, draining the energy of the Confederate army.
But we, the Three Banners Warriors of Manchuria, recharged their batteries and waited until noon. Then we used the energetic Qing warriors and cavalry to drive us. The Southern Army was still waiting for the wind to change. You were afraid that you would not have a chance to kill the enemy and not get military merit.
?”
After hearing Daishan's words, Hauge realized that he had indeed wrongly blamed him. He stood up and bowed hurriedly: "Hauge made a mistake and really wrongly blamed Prince Li. Please forgive me."
How could Daishan care about him, not to mention that everyone believed that Hauge was very likely to succeed the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and Daishan was no exception. How could he have a grudge against him over such trivial matters?
"No problem, Prince Su is also worried about national affairs and wants to defeat the southern reinforcements as soon as possible and capture the important land in Liaodong."
Dai Shanyou continued: "Let's go back to camp and prepare to go."
…………
At 3 o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of each camp of the Xuanda Allied Forces had already had breakfast and formed formations in the north of the camp to await military orders.
The strong north wind is still howling, but the snowflakes have disappeared, and the ground is covered with silvery white, which highlights the bright red clothes of the Ming Dynasty soldiers.
Especially all the soldiers in Xuanfu Town are wearing bright red cloaks, which is really enviable!
On the command platform outside the Chinese army camp, Zhang Cheng was dressed in bright armor, and behind him was a bright red woolen cloak. Officers of the Xuanfu army's battalions of more than 1,000 commanders also had a bright red cloak, but as long as each battalion
Only the generals are equipped with woolen cloaks.
The reason why Zhang Cheng is like this is to highlight his class in the army. Officers need to be well equipped like ordinary soldiers, so that everyone will think about getting promoted and will fight bravely to be the first.
Of course, all of this must be maintained by clear rewards and punishments. Once rewards and punishments are out of balance, it will only chill the hearts of the soldiers, and everything that has been built so hard today will be lost.
Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, is also dressed in bright clothes, with a bright red wool cloak behind him. He is also a handsome man, and he also takes good care of himself. He is also dressed in gorgeous clothes and armor. Now he is standing on the handsome platform.
, but also very outstanding.
However, if compared with Zhang Cheng, not to mention the fact that he is half a head shorter than Zhang Cheng. Just in terms of body posture, he is not as tall and strong as Zhang Cheng.
Although Wang Pu's face is also very handsome, it is too fair and delicate. Compared with Zhang Cheng, he lacks the weathered color, making him look a bit immature.
On the other hand, Zhang Cheng, after all these years of military experience, has become even more heroic. He stands on the commander's platform with his hand on the hilt of his sword, showing his majesty. This is what a general in command should look like!
At this moment, looking at the groups of Xuan Army soldiers in front of the commander's stage, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "The weather is getting colder and colder, but the soldiers are still wearing only clothes and shirts. Although they wear cloaks, they can't keep out the cold.
Let’s decide the outcome of this battle in Jinzhou as soon as possible!”
Wang Pu heard the words and then said: "This matter has been reported to Governor Hong, but the remaining cotton clothes in Ji Liao are limited and insufficient for the use of the army. Although Governor Hong has written many times to urge the Ministry of War to quickly send cotton clothes and jackets to Liao, the treasury is empty and the journey is difficult.
The distance is indeed not something that can be solved in a moment."
"well!"
When he said this, he also sighed and continued: "The cold winter is coming, especially in the bitter cold land of Liaodong. It is even colder. How can you protect yourself from it with just a single coat? If the cold winter comes and you still haven't made up for the cotton clothes and jackets, this will
I’m afraid Jinzhou doesn’t need to be saved?”
Zhang Cheng was helpless in this regard. He turned to look at Zhang Chengfang, who was accompanying him, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there a letter from Wu Zhizhong, telling him about the cotton clothes?"
Zhang Chengfang took a step forward and replied beside Zhang Cheng: "Going back to my father, Commander Wu, there was a letter from Wu Guerrilla yesterday, which was sent here via Huangtuling. The letter said that the craftsmen camps in various places have been intensified since I came to the aid of Liao Dynasty with my army.
We have made cotton-padded jackets and have now made 10,000 pieces."
Zhang Cheng nodded and asked, "Has it been shipped yet?"
"Returning to my father, Wu Youyi said in the letter that the 5,000 pieces sewn in advance have been entrusted to the Xuanbei Merchant Gang to be shipped on his behalf. It is estimated that they will be shipped to Ningyuan by the end of the month."
After listening to Zhang Chengfang's report, Zhang Cheng said to him again: "Immediately write a letter to Wu Zhizhong and ask him to ship the other five thousand cotton-padded jackets to Liao as soon as possible."
"Here."
Wang Pu listened clearly to the conversation between Zhang Cheng and his adopted son Zhang Chengfang. The surprise in his heart was completely reflected on his face, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Zhang Shuai, we have an unkind invitation here. I don't know if you can accommodate it?"
"
Zhang Cheng turned around, looked at him seriously, and said, "Other things are easy to talk about, but if it's for the cotton-padded jacket, there's no need to talk about it."
"This...this...this..."
Zhang Cheng seemed to have read through Wang Pu's thoughts and blocked the words directly. This made Wang Pu unable to play anymore. He stammered and said the word "this" three times in a row, but nothing happened.
Follow-up.
Zhang Cheng ignored him and said directly to Zhang Chengfang: "It's Chen time, let's beat the drums and call the generals to come and listen to the order!"
As a low drum beat sounded, one could see numerous horsemen from each battalion of the Xuan Army, galloping towards the direction of the Chinese Army Commander's Platform.
…………
After a whole day of fierce fighting yesterday, the soldiers of both Ming and Qing Dynasties were very exhausted, but when faced with life and death, they were not allowed to rest.
At this moment, only at the Biao camp of Jiliao Governor Hong Chengchou, the war was relatively stable.

When he said this, he also sighed and continued: "The cold winter is coming, especially in the bitter cold land of Liaodong. It is even colder. How can you protect yourself from it with just a single coat? If the cold winter comes and you still haven't made up for the cotton clothes and jackets, this will
