Chapter 808 Great Adventure(1/2)
Since Qin Shanhai went north, he has remained silent for most of the time, and only gathered 50,000 troops to station in Tianjin to restrain the Qing army's forces.
In the Chu Rui Alliance, it is normal to say that the Chu Dynasty has done this step, which is actually quite righteous.
In order to help Ruichao fight, he would not have to fight with all his elite troops. In this way, he would have to consume a lot of money and food every day, and the round-trip transportation costs were even more huge.
Shandong can survive for so long with only one place, which also makes everyone amazed.
In Dorgon's eyes, Qin Shanhai was even harder to chew than Tang Zhongyuan. He was under his command of the last elite of the Chu Dynasty. The three armies of the Chu army, infantry, cavalry, and bird guns cooperated with each other. He also helped the artillery, and defended Tianjin with the backs of the coast, and refused to fight easily.
At the same time, there are also sea routes to supply grain and supplies, and ammunition is endless, so it is impossible to cut off the grain and grass.
Qin Shanhai is a veteran general, and he doesn't reveal any flaws, making people have nowhere to talk.
Dorgon could only send troops to surround the confrontation, intending to capture Yanjing first, and then force Shandong. At that time, Qin Shanhai's troops would be defeated without attacking.
This confrontation pattern is quite subtle, and it is both strategy and national strength.
Both sides try to use some strange tricks occasionally to gain the advantage.
Qin Shanhai suddenly attacked Jinghai County, which was as motionless as a mountain and as thunder, caught the Qing army off guard.
Dorgon instigated King Wu to rebel against Yan Wang and almost defeated the Rui army. The situation of the Chu Rui coalition immediately became more and more urgent.
Under this situation, Dorgon had a great advantage. Yanjing was about to fall, and the general situation of the Rui army was destined, and retreating to Shanxi was almost certain. There were only two roads in front of Qin Shanhai, retreating from Dagukou, or retreating from Cangzhou by land.
Therefore, Dorgon quickly asked Duoduo to send troops to Cangzhou and cut off the road to the south of Qinshan and Hainan.
This is a great move.
If Qin Shanhai attacks Cangzhou, it will lose the artillery fire and food channels it relies on and fall to death; if Qin Shanhai walks on the sea route, Duoduo can go south to attack Shandong before Qin Shanhai returns to defense.
Dorgon decided that Wang Xiao would save Cangzhou because this was the only way.
Variables are generated here.
It was as if the chessboard was arranged well, Dorgon planned to eat some big dragon by Wang Xiao. Suddenly, Wang Xiao pressed one more piece and stuck it on his chess eye.
There is only one trivial, small chess piece.
The feeling that Dorgon is... "Wang Xiao, you are a shameless person, you have taken one more step."
I don’t know where the five thousand people came out, only five thousand people, but they actually began to erode the territory that had been eaten by Dorgon, disrupting his entire layout.
The general trend has not been reversed, but the flaws have reappeared, and the Qing army's attention has been distracted.
Qin Shanhai caught this flaw immediately, suddenly captured Wuqing County, and caught Abatai off guard again.
It is as motionless as a mountain, as thunder.
Dorgon felt that he was completely angry by Qin Shanhai, not because of the gains and losses of the small county town of Wuqing County. He was angry with Qin Shanhai's arrogance.
The defeat of the Tang Zhongyuan is imminent, but you, Laogou, do not retreat but advance.
You didn't dare to send troops before, but you still dare to come now?!
I want to die, right? I will fulfill your wish.
Wuqing County.
Qin Shanhai was sitting in front of the sand table, his face very haggard.
All the generals of the three armies under his command are no longer by his side.
Du Zhenghe guarded Tianjin City, Lin Shaoyuan guarded Jinghai County, and was supporting each other with Wuqing. Qinshan Lake and Qin Xuance had already broken through with the cavalry and attacked Langfang.
Dong Jihe did not go north with the army, and this time the person who came to take charge of the participation was Xia Xiangwei.
Xia Xiangwei was fiddling on the sand table and analyzed: "We only have 50,000 troops, but now we occupy too much place. The 50,000 troops are divided into four. After the Cavalry left, only more than 10,000 troops remained in each city. We must also ensure that the food route from Dagukou to this side is too weak."
"I didn't expect that this battle would reach this point, and the Swiss army would be defeated too quickly."
"I thought the Tang Dynasty was famous for a long time and could last for a while." Xia Xiangwei frowned again when he said this, and said, "Damn King Wu, he deserves to die. With his attack, the situation collapsed so far. We are too passive."
"We are afraid that the surrender of King Wu will be even more difficult in the future."
Qin Shanhai said, and picked up a war chess with his only remaining hand. He couldn't reach the sand table, so he had to hand it over to the personal soldiers behind him, saying, "Set it to Wuqing County."
Xia Xiangwei frowned again when he watched the war chess being put on.
Qin Shanhai said: "When Dorgon completely rectifies the Zhennan Army, he will be sent to attack us."
Xia Xiangwei nodded and said, "The Zhennan army has 50,000 people, plus Abatai's troops, we are afraid we can't defend it." :(/
"I'm afraid there are more than 50,000 people." Qin Shanhai said: "The King of Hell of Wu is the best at threatening the people. At that time, the people who will attack the capital will be the people in the capital, and more than 100,000 people will be the people in the capital. Dorgon wants to enter the Central Plains, but this time he will not rob the people under the banner of righteousness. However, he will not forbid the King of Hell of Wu from threatening the people to consume with us."
"It is not difficult to defeat King Wu. The problem is that the Eight Banners are eyeing each other..."
Qin Shanhai said: "Do you want to say you can't win?"
Xia Xiangwei nodded and said, "I haven't seen the chance to win yet."
"So what if you win? Even if you win, I can't destroy the elite here for the sake of victory."
"What does Qin Shuai mean?"
Qin Shanhai closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally said: "With the current momentum of Shandong, after these two years, we will definitely accumulate enough strength. All we have to do is to gain more time."
Xia Xiangwei looked at Qin Shanhai's face and suddenly felt a strange premonition.
He pondered for a while and said, "What did Deputy General Qin think about the withdrawal of troops?"
"His Royal Highness of Qi sent an order to withdraw my husband back to Shandong. His Royal Highness sent someone to say that all the battle formations were decided by me. His Royal Highness's meaning was naturally the Duke's meaning."
Xia Xiangwei said: "Since General Xiao Zhu has led his troops to attack Cangzhou, it is probably the best opportunity for us to withdraw our troops now. If we don't leave, once Tang Zhong is undefeated, we might as well go back to defend the Dezhou defense line if we are trapped in Tianjin."
"But Tang Zhongyuan hasn't left yet." Qin Shanhai said: "As soon as we retreat, he will definitely leave. In other words, if we fight for one more day, the Rui army will spend more day with Jiannu."
“It’s so risky…”
"Shandong is flat and there is no danger to guard. So I can only take this risk. I know that the Duke has come in person and the Duke can come to take risks. So what are we afraid of taking risks with him?"
Abatai garrison was in the Long River between Langfang and Wuqing.
The reason why he lost Wuqing County was because he didn't expect that Qin Shanhai was so big that he dared to send troops.
Even the military orders Dorgon gave him were to prevent Qin Shanhai from going south or returning to Dagukou.
In the battle of Wuqing County, Qin Shanhai no longer fought steadily, but decisively divided his troops. The cavalry army raided Abatai's camp at night, and then more than 10,000 cavalry went north with the momentum and headed straight for the Qing army's granary.
Abatai didn't care about Wuqing County for a moment and hurriedly led the army north to rescue Langfang.
So Wuqing County was lost, but the cavalry suddenly killed another shot.
When that was the case, the cavalry was fighting against the flag of King Xiao of Guo. Abatai looked at the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and faintly saw a young general under the Shuai Ban wearing black and gold armor, which really looked like Wang Xiao.
He did not dare to advance rashly and ordered the contraction of the front.
Then, the cavalry turned around and rushed eastward to Xianghe County.
Abatai immediately reported to Dorgon, stationed in Longhe, surrounding Wuqing County and confronted Qin Shanhai.
As for chasing Wang Xiao?
He doesn't want to chase after him anyway.
As a result, before Dorgon's military order was released, Lai Mubu led his troops to Longhe.
Aisin Gioro Laimub is not famous, but is actually Nurhaci's thirteenth son.
Abatai is Nurhaci's seventh son. Even though he was in a mess in the royal family, he has become a prince now. Lai Mubu is just a general who is benevolent, not even Beizi.
Lai Mubu and Dorgon were born in the same year. Dorgon was born in November and Nurhaci's 14th son, and Lai Mubu was born in January. When Nurhaci died, they were both only fourteen years old.
But Dorgon's mother was the eldest concubine, and Lai Mubu's mother was just a concubine; Dorgon had two brothers, and Lai Mubu's mother only gave birth to him.
Huang Taiji wanted to win over Dorgon, but there was no need to pay attention to Lai Mubu.
Lai Muduo originally wanted to win titles based on military merits, but he felt that he was in a similar situation as Dorgon, so he went to curry favor with Ajige.
In the seventh year of Chongde, he followed Ajige to attack Chu and conquered Ningyuan. After Ajige fought the war, he left without waiting for Huang Taiji to reward him.
The result was good. Ajige had nothing to do, but Lai Muduo was dismissed for "not being dissuaded".
Then, after Hai Lanzhu's death, Ajige's family kept singing and dancing, and Lai Mubu was dismissed from the royal family because of "sitting in hiding".
Later on, the three brothers Ajige, Dorgon and Dodo were all granted princes, but Lai Mubu lived like a commoner.
Lai Mubu also figured out what Huang Taiji meant, and he had cursed the wrong person.
After much thought, he ran to sue Dorgon.
Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji had no time to read his memorials and turned his hair away. Dorgon became the regent of the Qing Dynasty...
After Fulin ascended the throne, he was granted a general of Fengen and asked him to enter the pass with him.
Lai Muduo felt that Lao Ba died well and deserved to be angry to death by Wang Xiao. Lao Shisi was also a bastard, so it would be better to die too.
Of course, he didn't want Dorgon to die now, and it would be better to kill the Aisin Gioro family after fighting the world.
Unfortunately, even if the Aisin Jueluo family is in the world, he will not benefit much from Lai Muduo than other brothers.
He is 34 years old this year. Compared to Dorgon's at its peak, his temperament looks like he is in a dilemma.
"Brother Seven, I'll bring troops to help you." Lai Muduo said after entering Abatai's tent.
Abatai said: "What are you doing here?"
