Thanks to the brothers who have always supported the boat!
The boat is really tired and in poor condition during this period, but the storm will pass and the boat will be strong as soon as possible!
~~~~~~~
The wheels of history are turning, and in the blink of an eye, a few more days have passed.
In the past few days, both the Caishi Army and the Qing Army have maintained obvious restraint, but with the subsequent arrival of reinforcements from the Ming Army, the cold atmosphere between the two sides has reached a critical point!
On the top of the city, Huang Taiji leaned on the crenels, quietly overlooking the connected Ming army camps not far away. There was not much expression on his fat face.
The personal guards around him all retreated far away, and only Prince Rui, Dorgon, accompanied Huang Taiji.
Having reached this level, Dorgon also understood how much pressure Huang Taiji was under now!
At this time, under Pinggu City, both the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were almost all the elites in the country who could fight. No matter who lost or won this battle, in this vast and fertile land, the original order
, will definitely be rewritten!
It's just that there are thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty...
These hundreds of thousands of elite Eight Banners are almost all the blood of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty loses, they can still fight again after a few years of delay, but if the Qing Dynasty loses...
Dorgon simply didn’t dare to think about it any further!
"Your Majesty, the Ming army is sharp and Liu Ruyi is cunning! We no longer have any advantage in this battle! Although Liu Ruyi and the Caishi army are strong, the Ming Dynasty is not monolithic. As long as we can be more patient,
I'm afraid we don't have to fight like this with the Ming army! We, the sons of the Qing Dynasty, can no longer afford to hurt us!" Dorgon glanced at Huang Taiji and couldn't help but express his deepest thoughts.
Huang Taiji was not too surprised. He turned his head and stared into Dorgon's eyes. Suddenly, he let out a long sigh, "Fourteenth brother, how could I not know what you said? What a pity! Time does not wait.
Man! If we retreat now, in a few years, I don’t know how strong Liu Ruyi will be! At this time, although the Caishi Army is strong, our elite Qing Dynasty still firmly holds the advantage of the cavalry! If
We can’t kill Liu Ruyi here! I’m afraid it will be even harder to get another chance in the future!”
Huang Taiji said, patting Dorgon's shoulder lightly, "Fourteenth brother, my time is running out! It's not that I can't let go of the throne, but Liu Ruyi is like a tiger and a wolf. I, I really
Don't worry about our Qing Dynasty's family business! If this battle can be decided and Liu Ruyi is killed, then our Qing Dynasty can at least protect its country for a hundred years! When the time comes, I can leave this country in your hands and I can completely
Feel free to leave!"
Dorgon did not expect that Huang Taiji would say such words, and quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, you are the destined emperor, you will live a long life, how can you be like this..."
Huang Taiji waved his hand, "What about longevity? Haha! It's just self-deception! Fourteenth brother, you don't need to comfort me! I know my body well! But if Liu Ruyi is not eliminated, I'm afraid
Even if you die, it will be difficult to rest in peace!"
"Your Majesty..." Dorgon knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
Huang Taiji personally helped Dorgon up, "Fourteenth brother, there is no need to be so polite between you and me! This Qing Dynasty is my country, but it is also your country! So, in this battle, we
We must fight! And we must win!”
Dorgon also understood Huang Taiji's decisiveness and nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if he dies, we must kill Liu Ruyi completely this time!"
~~~~~~
At this time, in the Ming army camp, the atmosphere was completely different.
The victories in successive battles allowed the men of the Caishi Army to gradually adapt to the rhythm of fighting the Qing army. In addition, reinforcements from various departments of the Ming army had arrived at this time, and their troops and horses were strong, making the men even more powerful.
War is actually like this, one ebbs and the other ebbs and flows.
If you are strong, the enemy will be weak; if you are weak, the enemy will be strong!
Although the main force of the Qing army is still there, Liu Ruyi's reputation is here, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming army are generally optimistic about the upcoming decisive battle.
This would have been unimaginable in the past.
In Liu Ruyi's tent, He Renlong, Hu Dawei, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Gao Jie, Ma Ke and other generals gathered together.
The total strength of the generals has exceeded 150,000. Including the Caishi Army, there are probably more than 100,000 troops, all of which are new troops. This also makes the generals full of confidence in the upcoming decisive battle.
Today was to discuss military affairs. Liu Ruyi did not prepare any fine wine, but mung bean soup with ice cubes was enough.
He Renlong felt quite regretful because he failed to catch up with the vanguard of the Caishi Army. Now that he had seized the opportunity, how could he let it go?
Everyone here was acquaintances, and He Renlong didn't have too many scruples. He picked up a jar of cold mung bean soup, drank half of it, opened his clothes, and said carelessly: "General, I am Lao He.
Zangzi! In the past, even if you did something wrong, don't take it to heart! But today, I, Lao He, put it here! In this war, whenever the general has any mission, I, Lao He, will do my best.
Let’s go! If there is even half a lie, it should be done like this!”
After He Renlong finished speaking, he slammed the jar to the ground, which shocked the generals.
Liu Ruyi smiled and glanced at He Renlong, but did not express his position immediately.
He Renlong couldn't help but became a little anxious, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "General, I, Mr. He, speak from the bottom of my heart. I implore you, General, to give us, the son of the Qin army, a chance!"
Liu Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward, personally helped He Renlong up, and said with a smile: "General He, don't be like this! You are all brothers of Ruyi, and you are here today because you gave Ruyi face! Manchu Qing is
We, the Ming Dynasty's life-and-death enemy, must be eliminated! Don't worry, General He, you will all have a chance to fight in this battle! But, for now, we still need to be patient and take a look at the direction of the Qing Dynasty!
"
He Renlong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you so much, General, thank you so much, General! I, the son of the Qin Army, will definitely follow the General and fight to the end!"
On the side, Gao Jie also knelt down and said: "General, although Lao He's words are not correct, his words are right! I, the son of the Qin army, will follow the general and fight to the end!"
Although Gao Jie is only the deputy general of Shaanxi, in fact, the number of troops under his command is not much less than that of He Renlong. On the contrary, they are more elite. Many of them are elite veterans of the refugee army who started their careers following the old Chuang King Gao Yingxiang.
Although there was some friction between the two on weekdays, at this juncture, they hugged each other tightly, for fear that Liu Ruyi would leave them behind!
Liu Ruyi naturally understood the Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
This is actually human nature.
When there is a headwind, all normal people think about is retreating, but now that the wind is tailwind, everyone does not want to be left behind and wants a share of the battle.
"Lao He, you say you are stupid! I don't believe it! In my opinion, you are smarter than a monkey!" Wang Pu was a little unhappy.
Ruyi's face, he was afraid that he would jump out and curse at this moment.
He Renlong didn't dare to refute, he just said "hehe" and smiled naively at Liu Ruyi.
On the side, Hu Dawei, Ma Ke, Yang Guozhu and others could not sit still anymore. They stood up one after another and expressed their attitude to Liu Ruyi respectfully.
Liu Ruyi also felt relieved.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, among the nine armies, except Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army, which had been shrinking back in Liaodong, the remaining combat power was basically under his control.
Then~ Next, when we fight against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, our strength will increase a lot!
"Since all the brothers are showing love, then Ruyi is in a big position!" Liu Ruyi clasped his fists at the generals, "At this point, all the brothers will probably understand! If this battle is decided, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is over!
Therefore, none of us here can be lax and careless about this battle! As long as we can win this battle, I, Liu Ruyi, will ensure that your descendants will be prosperous and wealthy for generations to come!"
All the generals couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this!
This is the first time Liu Ruyi has truly expressed his ambition in front of the generals!
With Liu Ruyi's personal guarantee, what worries would they have?
"General, we swear to die for the general!"
"I swear to serve the general to the death!"
All the generals fell to their knees with a roar!
Liu Ruyi turned around and sat back on his tiger-skin throne, looking down at the generals, but an indescribable pride inevitably rose in his heart!
"Generals, please rise! Since you trust Ruyi, let's start assigning tasks now!"
~~~~~~
May 29, the 14th year of Chongzhen.
This day is destined to be a day that will be remembered in history!
Early in the morning, the Ming army took the lead in launching!
He Renlong's Qin Army, Gao Jie's Qin Army, Ma Ke's Shan Haijun, Hu Dawei's Shanxi Army, Wang Pu's Datong Army, and Yang Guozhu's Xuanfu Army all came out in almost overwhelming numbers and were stuck around Pinggu City, firmly entrenched
It pinches the main artery from Pinggu to Xianghe River!
The Caishi Army was not idle either. The main forces of the three battalions, Suzaku Camp, Qinglong Camp, and White Tiger Camp, were dispatched at the same time to force them to the south gate of Pinggu.
Liu Ruyi was riding on a tall horse, only one mile away from Pinggu City, quietly watching this small northern city.
At this time, a report from the soldiers came not far away, "General, the Suzaku Camp is in place!"
"The Qinglong Camp is in place!"
"The White Tiger Camp is in place!"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Liu Ruyi's mouth. After waiting for so long, the moment of decisive battle is finally coming. It's really exciting!
"Go! Send some brothers with loud voices to shout at the top of the city! Just say this..."
"yes!"
After a moment, more than a dozen horses galloped to the head of Pinggu City, and a soldier in the lead shouted: "Listen up, slave chief Taiji! My general has an order. If you are willing to know your way back from the lost way, tie your hands and feet."
, go to the general to plead guilty! My general will spare your life! Let your slaves go back to the outside! Otherwise, the chickens and dogs will not be left behind!"
"Leave no chickens or dogs behind!"
"Leave no chickens or dogs behind!"
This sound was first shouted by more than a dozen military men. Then, in the direction of the Caishi Army camp, the military men also shouted in unison. Then, the surrounding Ming troops also shouted in unison at the same time. This voice
, it’s almost like tearing the heaven and the earth apart!
