Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 391 Tactics
Jierharang said with a smile.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ji Erhalang was very proud: "This time we will still use the technique of digging trenches and besieging, but not only encircle Jinzhou, but also encircle Songshan! As long as these two big cities encircle If the main force of the Ming army in the city cannot leave the city smoothly, the Ming army in the remaining castles will have nothing to fear!"

After thinking for a while, Dorgon sneered and said, "I thought it was a coup, but it turned out to be nothing more than that! Even if the Ming army surrounded Songjin, although there are few Ming troops in other castles, there may not be few firearms. Didn't Prince Cheng last year?" Have you ever suffered? The emperor would not think that it would be easy to destroy the other fortresses without playing Songjin? Prince Cheng, you have the most say in this matter. Tell me, these fortresses in the south of Songshan Mountain are easy to fight? "

Facing the sarcasm in Dorgon's tone, Yue Tuo said calmly: "In terms of sharp firearms, the two forts of Daxing and Xingping are no worse than Songjin, and the new troops trained by the Ming army are all in these forts. , I reckon that all Zu Dashou's men can fight have entered Jinzhou City, but it is not clear where Zu Wu's cavalry is now, it is a force that cannot be underestimated!"

Speaking of the Guanning iron cavalry, the Eight Banners are still quite frightened. Although they are not afraid, if they really match up, they will definitely cheer up to deal with it.

Due to the strict news blockade, the news of the split between the Zu and Wu families did not reach Jianzhou.

After Wu Sangui was seriously injured in Jinzhou City last time, Wu Xiang went outside the pass to take his wife and children back with the consent of the Ministry of War.

Although the ancestor brothers Qi Qi came forward to apologize to Wu Xiang and explained the matter, and beat Zu Zehong, Zu Zeqing, and Zu Kefa who caused the accident in front of Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang also pretended The smiling face said that this was caused by a misunderstanding, but both parties knew in their hearts that after this incident, there was no possibility for the Zu and Wu families to return to the past.

The treacherous and cunning Minister of the Ministry of War, Yang Sichang, took the opportunity to suggest to Zhu Youjian that, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Zuwu family to have scruples, they took advantage of the opportunity to transfer part of the cavalry of the two families to Lu Xiangsheng's command, so as to weaken the strength of the Liaoxi generals.

Yang Sichang's suggestion really worked.

With the breakup of the two families, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang saw their own strength greatly reduced, and they also showed incomparable obedience to the orders of the Ministry of War.

Zu Dashou lined up Zu Kuan, Li Chongjin and other cavalry that had participated in the entry and suppression of bandits into the pass, and Wu Xiang simply handed over all the nearly [-] cavalry of the Wu family to the Ministry of War, and claimed that he was willing , I want to go to Beijing to recuperate my body.

After careful consideration, Zhu Youjian still issued an order to appease Wu Xiang after hearing the words, but did not agree to his request.

"Hehe! Although the concerns of becoming a prince are not unreasonable, the emperor has no intention of storming the castle! I told you the truth. After digging trenches and besieging the city, our army will use it to find out where the Qingming army will store food and supplies. The heavy troops seized it, cut off the supplies of the Ming army in front, and the food and materials obtained were just for our army to eat!"

After Jierhalang laughed dryly, he immediately explained Huang Taiji's strategic intentions.

If Zhu Youjian knew about Huang Taiji's strategic plan, he might express his admiration.

This combat plan is very similar to the leapfrog tactics implemented by the U.S. military in the Pacific War during World War II. Its intention is to temporarily abandon the opponent's heavily defended area, and instead launch a surprise attack on the rear that it thinks is very safe. After success, turn around and besiege the remaining of the enemy.

Huang Taiji is indeed the most strategic person in the Qing Dynasty. Although Dorgon is also a leader in the Eight Banners, he is still inferior to Huang Taiji in terms of intelligence.

Huang Taiji hadn't thought about the tactic of sneaking into the side wall and breaking through.

But after secretly dispatching scouts to go deep into Gubeikou, Juyongguan and other passes, he resolutely gave up this idea.

According to Tan Ma's report, the Ming army not only repaired and strengthened the original damaged side wall, but also dispatched heavy troops to take precautions. The Qing Army Tan Ma even found cannons at the dangerous pass.

From the flags on the wall and the patrolling soldiers, it can be seen that the side wall, which was almost unguarded, is now heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling day and night. It is absolutely impossible to approach the side wall quietly like before.

Because moving these boulders and chaotic trees cannot be completed in an instant, it is impossible to move without making a sound, so that it is easy to be discovered by the Ming army, and the surprise attack will become a strong attack.

In areas that cannot accommodate a large number of soldiers attacking at the same time, the defenders are condescending and occupy an absolute advantage. The difficulty is several times greater than that of attacking Jinzhou City.

After discussing several times with Jierhalang, Daishan and others, Huang Taiji finally made this battle plan with super-epochal significance.

"What if the Ming army deploys heavy troops in places where supplies are heavy, so what should we do? At that time, our army will go too far forward, and the castle will be controlled by the Ming army behind us. There will be strong enemies blocking the front, and the food road will be cut off in the back. Wouldn't the whole army be in danger of being wiped out if we were not careful?"

After a long silence, Dorgon was the first to raise an objection.

"Hehehehe, Prince Rui is really worrying too much! The Ming army already has several members, Jinzhou is guarded by Zu Wu, and the rest of the border towns still need to guard the town. It is impossible for the emperor of Ming to transfer them outside the pass. Even if all the new troops they train go out to fight against me, how many of these new troops are there? At most, it is no more than 5! And the Ming army must guard the south of Songjin, right? Shanhaiguan must also be guarded Right? Once the [-] people are scattered, how many people can he have to guard the luggage?"

Jierharang replied with a smile.

"As long as our army attacks the grain roads of the Ming army, and then divides our troops from south to north and pulls them out one by one, how long can the pine brocade last if our army does not lack food and supplies? The remaining fortresses are already small, and they need to accommodate troops and store food. How many days can they eat? No matter how sharp your firearms are, and how invincible your cannons are, can your soldiers go into battle after starving for several days? If they are forced to go out of the city to fight, Wouldn't that be in the arms of our army? As long as the surrounding castles are cleared, wouldn't the pine brocade be in our pocket?"

Seeing that Dorgon, Azig and others still looked unconvinced, Jierhalang immediately analyzed further.

As a person that Huang Taiji trusted extremely, Jierharang certainly understood what the Dorgon brothers were thinking.

As long as this battle is successful, the prestige of Huang Taiji will be at the peak of the sky, and the little ambition in the hearts of the Dorgon brothers will be completely shattered.

It's not that Dorgon doesn't want to see the victory of the Qing Dynasty, but that the two white flags don't want Huang Taiji to enjoy the merits of making decisions.

But if the two white flags can propose a better strategy for Huang Taiji's plan, then Huang Taiji will not be able to obtain the greatest benefit after winning in the future.

"Prince Zheng, this king has long sent the elite of the Xiangbai Banner to go out to scout out. The purpose is also to determine the way of the army, but it is better to be cautious about directly attacking the big camp! Everything will be discussed after the scouts come back!"

"Hehe, Prince Rui is really thoughtful! To be honest with Prince Rui, this king has also sent several scouts to scout, let's see which one we send will get the news first! Now this king announces, Tomorrow, the army will have dinner at Chenshi, and then, with the two Mongolian red flag cavalry as the forerunner and the Han army flag as the rear team, unpack the coats and go to Songjin to dig trenches and encircle the city!"
