"Have you met the Regent!"

"Get up, let's talk about how to conquer Tongguan."

"Regent, we have occupied Pubanjin and can send troops to Xi'an at any time. It doesn't matter whether we attack Tongguan or not. It is a strong city and a strong attack will lose its troops in vain. It is better to take Xi'an directly. If the Tongguan defenders come to support, they will lead them out and annihilate the defenders, and Tongguan will destroy themselves..."

Dorgon directly interrupted the general and said majestic: "I only ask you how to conquer Tongguan?"

An undisputed tone.

"The key to attacking Tongguan is to cross the Wei River and capture Fenglingdu. When crossing the Wei River, our army can go to the west of Tongguan and capture Fenglingdu, and our army can attack from the east. In this way, let the pass be steep and steep without attacking..."

"Why hasn't Fenglingdu been captured yet?!"

"The defenders resisted tenaciously. Our army did not bring artillery, so it was difficult to attack through the Yellow River..."

Niyaha listened silently and didn't speak much, but thought a lot in his heart.

When the troops entered Shanxi, Dorgon said that he was plagued by government affairs and could not lead the troops south personally... Now, if you come to attack Ruichao, you are not plagued by official affairs?

Now that he has occupied Pubanjin, he does not directly take Xi'an, but instead takes Tongguan first. Wang Xiao is still afraid of it.

As expected, all the generals in the account discussed how to attack Tongguan, and Dorgon asked about the movements of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Chu again.

"What's Wang Xiao's reaction?"

"As the Regent expected, there was no large army and horse mobilization in Northern Chu. The army of Yurao County Prince still restrained the troops in Dezhou, and the more than 10,000 troops in Taiyuan restrained the Chu army of Shangdang..."

"I will send another order to Abatai and Yue Le, and never underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, and strictly guard the city and fortress. As long as the Chu army cannot support Shaanxi, they will be considered a great contribution."

"twitter."

I have to say that seeing Dorgon’s orders was still very powerful, the 100,000 troops swept down with the force of wind and thunder, and unexpectedly gave Rui a thunder strike.

Niyaha looked down on Dorgon and felt impressed. He personally led a large army south to fight Wang Xiaojue to death, but it was not a kind of wisdom to be able to withdraw in time when the strategic purpose had failed.

As long as it can defeat the Tang Zhongyuan, the Qing Dynasty can still form a strategic siege against Northern Chu and maintain its advantages.

But sooner or later, will you still have to fight Wang Xiao to avoid it?

"Report! The Tang Zhongyuan has raised 60,000 troops from Xi'an from the south bank of the Wei River; Yaozhou has 30,000 Rui troops from the north bank of the Wei River; Shangzhou has 20,000 Rui troops; Yongzhou has more than 10,000 troops have advanced to Jingyang... Rui army claims to have a total of 200,000 troops, and can arrive within ten days..."

The news came, and the big tent was filled with excitement.

Finally, we can fight a head-on battle. Whether it is success or failure, it is at least full of joy.

Dorgon was also fearless and shouted: "Capture the Tongguan within ten days! Fight against the Tang Zhongyuan!"

"twitter……"

On the grassland, a group of soldiers were slowly advancing.

Tang Jie squinted his eyes and looked up, and saw an isolated city standing at the junction of the grassland and the loess, which was Yulin Town, a major town on the Jiubian.

He licked his dry lips, and the hunger burned.

This kind of place is like a mountain and a horse. The city corridor looks close. It took more than half a day before, and he doesn't know if he can hold on there...

Looking back on his experiences along the way, Tang Jie wanted to curse a few words, but he didn't have the strength to curse it.

Originally, according to the plan mentioned by Wang Xiao, he should have defended himself in Guihua City and contacted a person named Idler on the Mongolian grassland, and the other party would provide food and military support.

Then wait for Wang Xiao to consume the main force of the Qing army, and Tang Jie will lead the troops to retake Datong; or Idler will lead him through the grassland and back to Shaanxi.

But damn, the people who scattered out were just unable to find that shit Idler on the vast grassland...

So, when Guihua City was defending until the last moment, Tang Jie had no ammunition and food, so he had to lead the remaining troops to break through.

Strangely, Dorgon did not send troops to pursue him.

Tang Jie was keenly aware that Dorgon had changed his strategic direction, and even the main force had left Datong.

He really wanted to turn around and attack Datong, but when he lost support, this lonely army and the tired army were unable to complete this surprise attack.

Without the guidance of Mongolian herders, they could not even find the water source.

They struggling hard on the grassland, and their troops had dropped sharply to only more than 4,000 people. Many times, Tang Jie felt that he was about to be destroyed.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, they finally met the troops sent by Ruichao to support him, and brought a guide and a little food.

Now I finally returned to Shaanxi...

He was blocked by Dorgon in Datong, and then went around a large circle from Guihua City, traveling more than a thousand miles, and the 30,000 elite troops in the Eastern Army were finally left with only more than 4,000 people.

Tang Jie didn't understand why he got this way.

But there was a fury in his heart.

"Dorgon, I'm back alive, go ahead and your mother..."

A big battle began before the Rui army and the Qing army.

The Qing army obviously felt that after entering Shaanxi, they were no longer facing those cowards who were surrendering. Most of the defenses in various parts of Guanzhong were direct troops of the Swiss army. Although their combat power was not strong, they were all resisting desperately.

But finally, there were just a group of mud legs who dared to fight when they started fighting, but they had no rules.

Dorgon personally led a large army across the Wei River, and Boluo attacked Fenglingdu. After a fierce battle, the Qing army finally surrounded Tongguan.

Tongguan is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north and Qinling Mountains in the south. It is precisely the "peaks are like gathering, waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road in the south."

The Yellow River is just north of Tongguan, turning straight from the north to the south and running eastward. The Wei River flows into the Yellow River from west to east, forming a shape of the "upper" (remove the horizontal line above the character "upper".

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao fought with Ma Chao in Tongguan. Cao Cao fought west from Luoyang and confronted Ma Chao's army, allowing Xu Huang to smuggle the Yellow River and set up a camp in Hexi. Then Cao's army suddenly crossed the Yellow River, bypassed Tongguan, and went straight to Weikou, and finally defeated Ma Chao...

Now Dorgon is going against the rules, first crossing the Yellow River, causing the natural danger of Tongguan to lose its effect, and then turn around to get the city of Guan.

He did not do this battle with the Rui army, but his future battle with Northern Chu.

Strategically, he expressed his contempt for Tang Zhongyuan.

After Weikou and Fenglingdu were successively lost, Tongguan was besieged for eight days and fell.

The defenders of Tongguan were in short supply of food and ammunition, and faced a strong attack of 100,000 Qing troops, and did not choose to surrender, and died in an exhausted battle.

The roar of "the rebel army will not surrender" echoed until the last moment.

They are not those far-sighted scholars of the Chu Dynasty. They can understand that Nurhaci has also been appointed by the Chu Dynasty. They can understand that the Qing Dynasty wanted to inherit the orthodox Chu Dynasty...

They are just a group of inexplicable mud legs, thinking that the outer captive is the outer captive.

In their eyes, it is okay to rob and fight, and it is okay to overthrow the Wudao court, but there is no reason to surrender to the foreign captives.

Otherwise, what else is the rebel army? Are you worthy of Mr. Guan Er and Grandpa Yue?

"Oh, a bunch of guys."

Dorgon climbed to the city gate, glanced at the corpses all over the ground, and sneered disdainfully.

Around him, the Qing army threw corpses into the fire.

Dorgon looked east and saw the waves of the Yellow River and the mountains of the Qinling Mountains.

But he could already see the flat Henan and Shandong in his mind.

At this moment, he finally gained a strategic advantage over Wang Xiao again...

As long as you go around far enough, you can always find the road to Shandong...

Dorgon regretted that Shandong should have started collecting grain.

After all, I still couldn't catch up.

But it doesn't matter, it's good to defeat Tang Zhongyuan first.

He turned around and walked to the west along the city gate. Looking west, he saw the Wei River flowing, and Mount Hua went straight into the clouds.

Between the Wei River and Huashan, he and the Tang Zhongyuan will be the battlefield.

The 200,000 army of Tang Zhongyuan had outlined a magnificent black line in the horizon.

Half a roll of flags is facing the Wei River, and the murderous aura soars into the sky and enters Taihua...

"Kill!"

When the battle began, the soldiers on both sides fought wildly on the banks of the Wei River.

The injured and fell to the ground struggled unwillingly, and his feet were trampled on him.

The land has been soaked in red.

The blood slowly flowed down and flowed into the Wei River, dyeing the river red.

The corpses on the blood flowed in and were swept into the huge waves of the Yellow River.

The body flowed through Tongguan and continued to flow eastward through Hangu Pass.

At Hangu Pass, a sound hit fell, and the Qing army was hung high.

The Qing army general who had just captured Hangu Pass looked north and was amazed at the presence of so many corpses in the Yellow River.

He looked east again, and the mountains and rivers remained silent.

"The Regent is still too careful. How could he use the Chu army to come..."

The corpses in the Yellow River continued to go downstream and rushed towards Sanmenxia.
To be continued...
