The Manchu and Qing Dynasties did not take any big actions, and the Ming army would naturally not easily seek bad luck for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. They would just stick to their respective positions and step up the construction of fortifications.
In fact, Huang Taiji's eyes are indeed very poisonous.
Although the Ming Dynasty had made some preparations for the entrance of the Qing troops this time, because the Manchus had taken advantage of the cavalry, even if the Ming army was prepared, they did not have the capital to take the initiative to attack and fight the Qing army to the death.
Even Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army would have a hard time winning a decisive battle with the Qing army once it left its position.
Liu Ruyi was naturally reasonable about this. Since Huang Taiji was not in a hurry, then fighting in the Ming Dynasty, where food, wages and supplies were abundant, made Liu Ruyi even less anxious.
For a long period of time in history, nomadic peoples have always had a strong congenital advantage over agricultural peoples, and this advantage would only last until the mid-to-late 19th century, when the age of firearms fully arrived.
changed.
This is the wave of history.
Even though Liu Ruyi is a time traveler, it is difficult to change.
However, in general, the two sides basically maintain a delicate balance, but in a small area, confrontation between the two sides' sentinels is inevitable.
After seven or eight days, nearly a hundred of the Caishi Army's scouts had been killed. The casualties of other armies of the Ming Dynasty were also not small, and the Manchus did not take much advantage.
~~~~~
Tongzhou Caishi Military Camp.
Liu Ruyi stood in front of the huge map, carefully examining the layout and defenses of the Qing army, and trying to guess Huang Taiji's upcoming attack route.
In later generations, scientific research has shown that the best way to defeat your opponent is to put yourself in the opponent's mind and consider the problem from the opponent's perspective.
At this time, Liu Ruyi regarded himself as Huang Taiji, leading more than 100,000 Qing Dynasty cavalry, how to break through the seemingly solid positional defense of the Ming army.
Among them, the biggest obstacle faced by the Qing army was the supply of grain, grass and materials.
After all, they are fighting as guest troops. Although they have conquered more than a dozen cities in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, the northern part of the country is already barren. In this kind of year, there is no harvest. As for accumulation, they have already entered the Manchu and Qing Dynasties several times.
The time was completely consumed.
Under this situation, Liu Ruyi really couldn't figure out why Huang Taiji, who should be in an extremely passive situation, could still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and not plan to attack quickly.
It was spring at this time, and the crops in the fields had just sprouted. Even if he wanted to harvest them, he would have to wait at least until the end of summer. During this period, there would be a few months of blankness. Huang Taiji and the Qing army would never be able to endure this long.
So what exactly does he want to do?
Liu Ruyi frowned, but she had no idea in her heart.
Not long after, Wang Pu came to visit. Faced with this situation, he felt extremely anxious and uneasy.
"Brother Liu, how come the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are so quiet all of a sudden? I always feel that something is wrong with this matter!" Wang Pu's face was full of doubtful sadness.
He had personal combat experience with the Manchus and Qing Dynasties, so he naturally knew how terrifying the Qing army was.
"The tree is still but the wind is not stopping! Since Huang Taiji can be so calm, he must have a reliable back-up! This man is a wolf!" Liu Ruyi took a deep breath, but in her heart
I have to admire Huang Taiji's calmness and calmness.
Thinking about it from another angle, if Liu Ruyi and Huang Taiji had switched places, it would be difficult to maintain such composure in this situation, right?
Wang Pu nodded with deep understanding, "Brother Liu, this time, Huang Taiji is afraid that his family and life will be on the line. Either the enemy will die, or we will die! If this battle is settled, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will have nothing to worry about! On the contrary, if we make the Ming Dynasty
Victory, I’m afraid the disaster of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be brought to an end!”
Liu Ruyi nodded, "How are the other armies doing? Are there any difficulties? The more at this moment, the more we must maintain the stability of people's hearts!"
"It's not too serious for the time being! Even Marco's fellow is stepping up the construction of the fortifications. Brother Liu, as long as we don't mess up, even if Huang Taiji attacks, we won't take any advantage!" Wang Pu was quite confident.
road.
After being baptized by Pinggu and Songjin, these generals who followed Liu Ruyi all had some experience in defense.
At this time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were numerous and powerful, with sufficient food, grass, supplies, and soldiers and armor, so they naturally felt confident.
Liu Ruyi nodded, "We don't care about others, and we don't need to care about them. But we and other armies' camps must make the position fortifications perfect without revealing any flaws. I always have a feeling that if Huang Taiji doesn't move, that's it.
If you move, someone will definitely die!"
Wang Pu's face turned cold when he heard this, "Brother Liu, you, you mean..."
Liu Ruyi took a deep breath of cold air, "I have a feeling that Huang Taiji will not take the lead in attacking our nine-sided army this time, but..."
Liu Ruyi didn't finish speaking, but Wang Pu understood what Liu Ruyi meant, and the expression on his face was a little frightened for a moment, "Brother Liu, you, you mean, Jing, Jingying?"
Liu Ruyi glanced at Wang Pu and nodded slightly, "The armies on the nine sides are very powerful. Even if Huang Taiji attacks with all his strength, he may not be able to gain much advantage! But the Beijing camp is different. Their young masters,
You and I know the combat power of the old soldiers well. If I were Huang Taiji, I would also choose to attack them! As long as we can open a hole in the capital's defense line, we will definitely go to the rescue. When the time comes, we will besiege the city for reinforcements and defeat them one by one.
The battle can be decided!"
"This, this..." Wang Pu was trembling and speechless. He also wanted to understand the seriousness of this matter.
If this matter is really as Liu Ruyi expected, then the battle of the Ming Dynasty will be really dangerous!
"Brother Liu, then, what should we do now?" Wang Pu asked anxiously.
Liu Ruyi suddenly sneered, "What should I do? Cold salad!"
He turned around and stared at the huge map, "Tongzhou is garrisoned by nine armies, so it shouldn't be a big problem! But no one can say for sure about Shunyi and Huairou! However, Brother Wang doesn't have to worry too much. The walls of the capital city are high
With an army of 200,000 garrisoned, even if the Qing army had artillery, they would never be able to capture it easily! What’s more, we are right here, and Huang Taiji is not so bold as to risk everything! He cannot lose this battle either.
rise!"
"Then, what does Brother Liu mean..."
Liu Ruyi pointed to the two dots outside the capital and smiled contemptuously.
Wang Pu was instantly struck like five thunders, "The north and south camps of the capital?"
Liu Ruyi nodded, "Yes, if my prediction is correct, Huang Taiji will definitely attack them this time!"
"Then, what should we do?" Wang Pu panicked.
If Huang Taiji really dared to run under the capital city and attack the two major military camps in the capital, wouldn't this be too arrogant?
Liu Ruyi let out a breath of turbidity, "This world has been quiet for too long! The noble men in Beijing have long forgotten who is holding up this world with their backbone! Let them be frightened, for us,
It may not be without benefit!”
"This..." Wang Puru fell into the ice cave, but he instantly understood what Liu Ruyi meant...
~~~~~~~
Pinggu, Huang Taiji King’s Tent.
Dorgon, Duduo brother, was kneeling on the ground respectfully, listening to Huang Taiji's instructions.
Although the two brothers were unruly and armed with heavy troops, the prerequisite for all this was given by Huang Taiji.
As long as Huang Taiji survives, even if Dorgon has heroic ambitions, he will never be able to use it easily.
He knew deeply in his heart that it would not be an exaggeration to say that his starling was a devil.
At this time, Huang Taiji seemed a little tired, but he was in good spirits.
Looking at the two brothers in front of him, Huang Taiji didn't have any resentment in his heart, but was filled with endless love.
As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father.
Nurhaci left early. At this time, the Qing Dynasty was already in such a critical situation, and he himself was at the last moment. Therefore, Huang Taiji was no longer as mean as before. These two young, but brave and capable brothers were in front of him.
, has also become his biggest bargaining chip.
"Fourteenth brother, fifteenth brother, I am very happy to see you all grow up! If my father is alive in heaven, he can also see your heroic appearance. I guess there will be no regrets!" Huang
Tai Chi said, walked up to the two of them affectionately, and each held their hands.
Dorgon and Duoduo were both a little surprised. They each glanced at each other, but found that there was no fakeness in Huang Taiji's eyes.
"emperor……"
Huang Taiji waved his hand, "Don't call me Emperor, call me Ba Ge!"
The two were shocked, but seeing Huang Taiji's determined look, they could only say: "Bago!"
Huang Taiji then smiled and said, "Very good! Very good! Fourteenth brother, fifteenth brother, I won't tell you the fear of the Qing Dynasty at this time, but you must also understand it in your hearts! At this level, Liu Ruyi has become big.
The armies of the Ming Dynasty are gradually getting stronger and stronger, and we must make a decision early! If we drag it on for a long time, I am afraid that we, the Qing Dynasty, will really be powerless!"
Dorgon and Dodo couldn't help but nodded with deep understanding.
Both of them are dragons among men, so they naturally know the general situation well.
Huang Taiji smiled again and said, "A soldier knows the situation! At this level, anything we can think of, Liu Ruyi can also think of! What Liu Ruyi can think of, we can also think of! So, if you want to win in this battle,
To win, we must use extraordinary tactics!"
Dorgon had some enlightenment in his heart and hurriedly said: "Bago, what do you mean?"
Huang Taiji smiled and said, "You also know the situation within the Ming Dynasty. There has already been a huge rift between Emperor Chongzhen and Liu Ruyi. So, we can put some thought into this aspect!"
Huang Taiji said, pointing his thumb at the two familiar dots next to the capital.
Dorgon couldn't help but gasped, "Bago, isn't this a bit risky? If we advance like this and are surrounded by reinforcements from the Ming army, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Huang Taiji smiled and shook his head, "Liu Ruyi will definitely not return the favor! I am absolutely sure of this! He is going to use my hand to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger! So, this time, there won't be any big problems
Danger! As long as the Caishi Army does not return reinforcements, other reinforcements from the Ming Army will not be your opponent! But your vote last night must..."
Huang Taiji lowered his voice and whispered his plan into the ears of these two people.
After hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help but open his eyes wide and said with emotion: "Bago, you, you are so brave and talented! I am really ashamed of myself!"
