After walking out of Hong Chengchou's official hall, Liu Ruyi's depressed mood became much brighter!
After all, Hong Chengchou is a man with great ambitions. As long as he shows how powerful he is, he knows what to do!
After all, Hong Chengchou's roots are in the northwest, and he doesn't want to lose this battle either!
…………
The red tide hovering over Songshan City was quickly blown away by the sea breeze, and everything seemed to be calm again!
However, Liu Ruyi knew that this calm was only temporary, as a harsh storm was coming soon!
In the past few days, Liu Ruyi's nerves have become highly tense, and hundreds of scouts from the Caishi Army are spreading around Songshan City!
If the Ming army wanted to win the Battle of Songshan, they had to wait until the Qing army showed its flaws!
But at present, the Qing army is trapped in the south, north and west of Songshan City, with camps connected in all directions. Unless the Ming army can open a gap in these camps with lightning speed, the Qing army will not be able to see each other.
The remaining Qing troops will be surrounded and suppressed in pieces!
It's a pity that the Qing army is all cavalry, so the possibility of this is extremely slim!
Even if Wu Sangui's most elite Guan Ning cavalry were to come out in full force, they might not be able to achieve such an effect!
Therefore, the Ming army must wait for an opportunity! An opportunity for the Qing army to make a mistake!
~~~~
In the big tent, Liu Ruyi stared closely at the huge map of Liaodong. The map was filled with many small red flags. Each small flag was a garrison of the Qing army!
At this time, Dorgon, the main force of the Duoduo brothers' Two White Banners, gathered in the northwest of Songshan City. There were approximately more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000 people!
To the north, there are the two yellow flag elites led by Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge. There are about 30,000 people and strong combat power!
To the west, there are several troops of Prince Zheng Jierharang's Xilan Banner. Their number is not large, only about 15,000 people. Among them, half are Manchu and half Mongolian troops. They seem to be noisy and the weakest!
However, on one side of Ji'erhalang, there are 20,000 Korean troops, connected end to end with Dorgon and Duduo's troops. If the Ming army attacks them, Dorgon's troops will definitely come to their aid. This side is really inferior.
The choice!
To the south, there are more than 10,000 Eight Banners elites under Rao Yubeile Abatai. Although they are the smallest in number, they are powerful in mobility. Abatai has experienced hundreds of battles, and it is definitely not a wise choice to start with him!
The Qing army is surrounded by hard bones on all sides, and every aspect is not something that the Ming army can gnaw with complete confidence!
Liu Ruyi took a deep breath and rubbed her temples tiredly!
If at this time, the Ming army's more than 100,000 troops were all under Liu Ruyi's command, Liu Ruyi would not hesitate at all. He only needed to seize one side and attack fiercely, and he would definitely find a loophole in the Qing army!
However, the Ming army is currently full of factions, and it is probably okay to fight with the wind going smoothly. If the wind goes against the wind, the consequences will be unimaginable!
If you want to achieve results, you still need Wu Sangui to put in all your efforts!
"Bitch!" Liu Ruyi cursed fiercely, but there was no good solution!
If we want a decisive battle, it would be most appropriate for Hong Chengchou to take the lead!
"Prepare your horses! Go to Governor Hong's office!"
In Songshan City, in Hong Chengchou's official hall, Hong Chengchou was also thinking carefully!
At this time, with Liu Ruyi's thunderous skills, he temporarily integrated the military strength of the various departments of the Ming army, which improved the military strength of each department to a certain level. With sufficient food and grass, the Ming army already had the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army!
It can be said that the current situation is the best opportunity for the Ming army!
Otherwise, if it continues to be delayed, no one knows what troubles will arise in everyone's mind!
However, just as Liu Ruyi thought, the Qing Dynasty was full of tough enemies on all sides, and Hong Chengchou was not sure that he could win it steadily!
Having already suffered a loss, Hong Chengchou never dared to be rash again!
At this time, a soldier outside the door reported, "Lord of the Ministry, General Zhendong, and Shandong Commander Liu Ruyi, please see me!"
Hong Chengchou frowned, but soon relaxed, "Please!"
"yes!"
Soon, under the guidance of his own soldiers, Liu Ruyi came to the inner hall of Hong Chengchou and said respectfully: "Liu Ruyi, a humble official, has met Governor Hong!"
Hong Chengchou smiled and glanced at Liu Ruyi, "At this level, why do you need these false gifts? Come in!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and felt relieved. Since everyone gets what they need, there is no need to hide it like this anymore!
The soldiers made tea. Hong Chengchou glanced at Liu Ruyi and said, "Liu Junmen, how are you? Have you thought about it in the past few days?"
Liu Ruyi shook her head, "Director Hong, after all, the Qing army is powerful. It seems that it is really difficult for us to take action!"
Hong Chengchou nodded, "Three feet of ice is not as cold as one day! But at this level, as you said, whether you or I want to continue to live well, we must win this battle!"
"What a pity! Governor Hong's headquarters, the Northwest Army, is not here. Otherwise, why would we have to be so cautious?" Liu Ruyi sighed deliberately.
Hong Chengchou smiled, "I know the combat power of the Northwest Army well! It's okay to defeat the refugee army, but if they are as strong as the Qing army, they are still far behind!"
"Haha! You can't say that! Even though the Northwest Army is inferior in combat power, it is able to order and forbid, and obey the orders of Governor Hong! As long as the men are willing to fight hard, anything is possible!" Liu Ruyi said with a smile.
Hong Chengchou gave Liu Ruyi a meaningful look and said, "Liu Junmen, we will discuss the future matters later! Right now, we are still on a broken ship. We must get rid of this crisis as soon as possible!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and nodded. It would save a lot of energy to talk to a smart man like Hong Chengchou!
"Hong Du, I came here this time because I got a top-secret piece of news! Perhaps it will have an immeasurable effect on our battle!" Liu Ruyi said.
Hong Chengchou glanced at Liu Ruyi, "It's just you and me here, but that's all!"
Liu Ruyi nodded, "This time I raided Shengjing. After hearing the news, Huang Taiji was so angry that he vomited blood. Now, he has retreated to Qijiapu to recuperate! Our Lianghuang Banner Division to the north is now led by the emperor's eldest son, Hauge!
"
Hong Chengchou was startled, "Go on!"
"Hong Du, I feel that this is a huge opportunity for us! If you want to take action, this is the only way!" Liu Ruyi pointed her finger fiercely in front of Hauge's elite camp with two yellow flags!
"What?" Hong Chengchou's face changed drastically, "How is this possible? The two yellow flags have more than 30,000 elite troops, all of whom are capable of hundreds of battles. If we attack them with our strength, isn't this going to be a recipe for death? What's more, the two yellow flags
To the north, if we move out and are cut off by the Qing army, we may not even have any room for maneuver!"
"What Governor Hong said is right!" Liu Ruyi nodded heavily, "However, as the saying goes, the place that seems to be the most difficult is also the easiest! Governor Hong, don't forget! Brothers Hauge and Dorgon,
There has always been disharmony! If we attack Dorgon's tribe, Hauge will definitely not rescue him! In the same way, if we attack Hauge's tribe, Dorgon will definitely not rescue him! And even if he wants to rescue, he will never rescue him directly!
Although the two yellow flags have strong combat power, they only have more than 30,000 troops! But we have an army of hundreds of thousands! As long as we work together, Hauge will definitely not be able to stop us! But on the contrary, if we attack other sides, we will definitely be defeated.
The Qing army quickly rescued us from all aspects, this is the most terrifying thing for us!"
Hong Chengchou pondered for a long time and then said: "Then why don't you attack Dorgon's men? His strength is still weaker than the two yellow flags!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and explained carefully: "Hongdu, the position of the Dorgon tribe is stuck in the heart of the Manchu tribes! Even if Hauge does not come to rescue, Jierhalang and Abatai will definitely come to rescue!
Moreover, Dorgon is truly a talented man! It would be unwise for us to attack him! But on the other hand, Hauge, although he is also unparalleled in bravery, his intelligence and scheming, haha..."
Hong Chengchou glanced at Liu Ruyi, "Hauge is the legitimate son of Huang Taiji after all, and he has countless warriors under his command. Once our attack is blocked, the consequences will be extremely difficult!"
"Without risks, how can there be gains? Hong Du, our army is trapped in the land of Songshan. It is already a certain death situation! If you want to win in death, you can only use dangerous tactics! Otherwise, once Dorgon waits for the first time,
If we take action, then we will definitely die! Although this plan may seem impossible to achieve, but Hong Du, you can imagine that as long as we can quickly defeat the Hauge tribe, we will quickly disrupt Dorgon's deployment! More
Ergon is bound to find us for a decisive battle! At this time, the entire front line has been drawn out, and even if Wu Sangui doesn't want to contribute, he can't help it!" Liu Ruyi said coldly.
"But, if it is true as you said, even if we defeat the Hauge tribe, we cannot stop the offensive of Dorgon's army. This battle will still be unwinnable! By then, we will lose our troops and generals, and the land of Liaodong will be in danger.
That’s it!” Hong Chengchou said.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but sneer, "In war, people will always die! Governor Hong, if we are not ruthless at this level, the Qing army will definitely be ruthless! Strike first to gain strength, strike later and suffer disaster! Instead of passively waiting for death, it is better to fight to the death.
!At that time, even if we lose, we will retreat to Songshan City at worst! However, by then, we have cut off Huang Taiji’s arm, and Dorgon will definitely accept our gift! Inside the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is not
It’s all monolithic!”
Hong Chengchou already had some thoughts!
As Liu Ruyi said, the Songshan situation was already a dead end for the Ming army! If they wanted to break through, they could only use dangerous tactics!
Otherwise, the situation cannot be improved at all!
The imperial court no longer has any available troops, and there will no longer be reinforcements in Liaodong!
If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself!
"Hong Du, the Qing army is also a human being. They also have to eat, drink, and defecate. They are also made of flesh and blood! The most important thing is, Hong Du, these generals are not your headquarters. Even if you lose, there is still the Northwest Army.
Your foundation is still there, everything is still possible! But, if we lose this battle, the Emperor will probably not give you any chance again!" Liu Ruyi said coldly.
These words are already a bit heartbreaking!
But when the Ming Dynasty reached this situation, Liu Ruyi couldn't care about anything else!
Even if both the Ming and Qing Dynasties suffered losses in the Battle of Songjin, as long as the current balance in Liaodong can be maintained, it will be the greatest victory for Liu Ruyi!
Just give Liu Ruyi some more time to wait until the navy army takes shape!
Next time, why should Liu Ruyi associate with Wu Sangui and his like?
"Let me think about it, let me think about it..." Hong Chengchou frowned tightly and rubbed his temples hard...
