"More than forty scouts can't catch four southern soldiers, they are all useless!"
In Jinzhou City, everyone can hear Azige's roar and shudder.
Dorgon, who was sitting on the main seat, also looked very unhappy.
But he felt even more that Azig's actions were directed at him.
When he and Duoduo returned from the army, Huang Taiji gave him a big gift.
It's also a hassle.
Huang Taiji reorganized the Eight Banners.
After this reorganization, Dorgon changed from Taiji to the official flag owner.
Flag master with white flag.
But it turned out that the owner of the white chess flag was his brother Azig.
After this reorganization, Azig changed from the leader of the Eight Banners to the leader of a small banner, and was placed below him.
One can imagine Azig's inner anger.
Although the three brothers are from the same mother, the relationship between them is actually not harmonious.
Azig's age is quite different from that of Dorgon and Dodo. They didn't spend much time together since they were young, so they are not close to each other.
This time, Dorgon robbed him of his position as banner leader, and Azig was even more furious.
He didn't dare to confront Huang Taiji, so he had to secretly make trouble for Dorgon.
The soldiers and horses of the two white flags of Houjin have all moved to the vicinity of Jinzhou Guard. In order to support Dorgon in the battle, Huang Taiji also sent Wu Zhenchaoha out.
When Gushan Ezhentong Yangxing saw Azig stirring up trouble, he quickly intervened.
"Tell me what's going on."
With his turn, the scolded scouts all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me tell you, it's not that the slaves are greedy for life and afraid of death. It's actually these southern soldiers who are quite weird."
Just talking is not enough, the scout quickly presented the things.
There is a metal claw on the long rope, which was left behind when Man Liao and others retreated.
Tong Yangxing took it and after just one glance, his expression changed.
"Mergendaiqing, look, it's actually made of steel."
Dorgon immediately became serious.
"How can these Ming troops be so extravagant?"
Who doesn’t know that steel is good?
However, steel is hard to come by, and if you occasionally harvest a little bit, you can't wait to use it in making weapons.
But the scouts of the "Ming Army" used fine steel to make such claws just for climbing and escaping, which was completely beyond the knowledge of the Hou Jin generals.
"Not only that, the crossbow arrows used by these southern barbarians are also made of steel."
The scout presented something else.
It was the crossbow arrows fired by Man Liao and others during the battle.
In order to ensure the power, not only the crossbow is made of steel, but these short arrows are also made of steel.
Within forty steps, even heavy armor cannot defend him.
Several senior executives of Houjin looked at the equipment one by one, and they all couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts.
They are all accustomed to fighting with the Ming Dynasty, and they know the morality of the Ming army best.
When did the Ming army reach the point where they regarded fine steel as if it were nothing?
"Have any flag documents been seized?"
Duduo became curious and wanted to know the origins of the Ming army facing Lushun.
The scout shook his head, but reported a situation.
"The Southern soldiers that the slaves encountered were dressed very differently. Their clothes were all khaki and very short. They had no hem and looked very strange."
Dorgon and others looked at each other in confusion, becoming increasingly unclear about the situation.
They knew the Ming Dynasty's army very well.
I have never worn khaki military uniforms.
This unexpected situation undoubtedly added haze to the subsequent battle.
Shi Tingzhu made suggestions cautiously.
"Mergen Daiqing, there is a saying in the art of war: Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Now the enemy in front of us is strange and unpredictable, so we must not be careless. We still need to find a way to find out the details of the enemy in front of us."
Dorgon listened to this.
"What's General Shi's clever plan?"
Shi Tingzhu considered it and said slowly: "In order to find out the details of the enemy in front of us, we might as well send an envoy to negotiate with them. If we can force Mingren to give up Lushun, everything will be fine. Even if it fails, we can still take this opportunity to understand the enemy.
Virtual reality.”
Dorgon has always been decisive and knows that this method is very feasible.
"Ilden, you will go with General Shi as an envoy to meet with the Nanmanzi."
The next general heard this and looked reluctant, but he had to accept it.
Niu Hulu Yildeng was the tenth son of Eyidu, the fifth minister of the Later Jin Dynasty. He was born in Xianghuangqi.
After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he was sent two white flags to assist him.
Obviously this is the nail arranged by Huang Taiji among the two white flags to monitor the Dorgon brothers.
This made Ildon difficult to move within the two white flags, and everything went wrong.
Sure enough, the trouble this time fell on his head.
But Elden knew very well that he absolutely could not refuse.
Otherwise, if Dorgon uses military law, his death will be in vain.
On the Lushun side, Man Liao and others also reported the military situation after returning.
"With the two white flags and Wu Zhenchaoha, we have at least more than 20,000 troops. Our defense line is too long, especially most of it is mountainous. If we are not careful, the Tatars will burst in. Therefore, we must mobilize the militiamen to supplement the defense line.
.”
Yu Lichun began to make arrangements based on the intelligence.
Although the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula is gradually closing in, the defense line of the advance detachment heading north is still very long.
From the mountains to the sea in the west is the official road, which is naturally the focus of defense.
There is also a mountain path on the east side to reach Lushun.
There is no room for error on either path.
In addition, there is a mountainous area with complex terrain and vast area in the middle.
This is where the later Dalian Jinlong Temple National Forest Park and Hengshan Temple are located.
The terrain is complex and complicated, and the advance detachment heading north alone will never have enough troops to ensure that there is no leakage.
Geng Wanrong was very supportive of Lichun's judgment.
"Then deploy the two militia groups here. They don't need to fight a tough battle. They just need to hold the line and prevent the Tatars from rushing over."
Chief of Staff Xiong Xin reminded: "We cannot fight without reserves. Since our troops are insufficient, we will recruit reserves in Lushun and replenish them at any time."
The people of the Ming Dynasty here in Lushun have now changed.
Most people have moved to Laizhou to settle, and then many people moved from Shandong.
Since they are ordinary people in Shandong, they have naturally been exposed to basic military training.
It's definitely not possible to let them go on the battlefield, but they can still do the job as a backup.
The three chief officers quickly reached an agreement and immediately dispatched troops and generals.
After several years of silence, the Liaodong Peninsula is at war again.
This battle will determine whether Hou Jin can unify Liaodong.
Once Hou Jin fails and the new army gains a foothold in the Liaodong Peninsula, Hou Jin will face endless troubles in the future.
Same reason.
Once Houjin captures Lushun, they will have no worries.
It can free up most of the troops to conquer Mongolia in the west and North Korea in the east, completely breaking the external siege.
This is a small battle, but its impact is far-reaching.
For this reason, the commanders on both sides began to prepare carefully.
