Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 635: War in Korea (5)

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

A low growling voice sounded.

Ping An Road, Turtle City.

Huang Taiji's eyes were fierce, staring at the map spread out on the commander's desk, veins popping out on his bare forehead, "What on earth do the Ming army want to do!!"

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.

Fan Wencai and Fan Wencheng lowered their heads, uneasiness spreading in their hearts. When the war situation in North Korea was advancing with difficulty, Huang Taiji and the others were devastated. A piece of bad news suddenly reached North Korea, which many people did not expect.

Liao Qiansheng has changed!
Even speaking of this bad news, if it weren't for the elite troops under Amin's command who were chasing Liu Aita and Li Yangeng's rebels who betrayed Dai Jin, and forced them to cross the Yalu River and rush to Turtle City, Huang Taiji and others would not even know the situation on the Tieling front line.

Ok.

Under the high-spirited command of Huang Taiji, the elites used Jiang Hongli and others as a medium to suppress some prominent families in Hamgyong Province and Pyongan Province, and swept all the provinces in the northern border of Korea. During this period, they looted a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and killed many people who resisted. Under such a situation, he fought with the North Korean army who resisted the Eight Banners, intending to continue southward to attack Gyeonggi Province, North Korea, and to make an emergency landing on the North Korean royal family.

Sun Chengzong led the army to aid Korea and went to war. Just as Huang Taiji and others expected, the Ming army to aid Korea crossed the sea and entered the DPRK with a large number of ships. Although Huang Taiji made a lot of preparations, they still could not prevent the Ming army from entering the DPRK smoothly, and even fought with the Ming army. We fought many battles, but the battle line was deadlocked at the southern line of Ping An Road!

In addition to the disgusting fighting style of the Ming army, no matter where they went, the first thing they thought about was not to fight the Eight Banners, but to keep digging, digging wherever they went. This made the Eight Banners' powerful force basically lose their advantage. It cannot be reflected on the battlefield.

Against this background, rebellions and harassment continued in the conquered Hamgyong Province, which forced Huang Taiji to divide his troops to suppress these places.

In the battle with the Ming army in Korea, the Eight Banners exposed its most fatal problem. There were too few core soldiers under its command, even if they were all capable of fighting. Even though many cities were captured along the way, many people defected to the Eight Banners. , and even organized and trained a large servant army.

It was just that under the high-spirited fighting style, this strong momentum was abruptly stopped when encountering the Ming army who was forging a stronghold and fighting stupidly.

Even though Huang Taiji thought of many ways to disrupt the rhythm of the Ming army entering the dynasty, Huang Taiji obviously underestimated Sun Chengzong.

Against this background, the battle in Pyongyang reached a stalemate, the southern line of Pyongyang Province was stalemate, and rebellions continued in Hamgyong Province. The news from Amin's troops crossing the river made Huang Taiji depressed.

"Master, it is already impossible to force a quick victory in North Korea to force the North Korean royal family to surrender." After being silent for who knows how long, Fan Wencheng said bravely.

"Don't Benbeile know this?"

Huang Taiji stared at Fan Wencheng with fierce eyes, "I never thought that Liaoqian would be like this. I'm afraid that not only Tieling will be lost now, but even Kaiyuan, Liaohai and other places will be lost!!"

Even the Horqin Grassland is in danger.

But Huang Taiji didn't say this.

It shakes the morale of the army too much.

How could the situation in Liaoqian be like this?

Why did Liu Aita betray Dai Jin?

How chaotic was Khorchin?

Why did Huduntuhan send troops to harass Horqin?

What happened to Khan Amma.

There were too many doubts and incomprehensions in Huang Taiji's heart. This was a complete change from when he led his troops to attack North Korea.

Although North Korea is adjacent to Liaodong, it is too far away from Tieling, Kaiyuan and other places. In addition, the forces of Ming Dynasty and Jin Dynasty are intertwined, which makes the exchange of military intelligence between the two places much slower than expected.

After all, there are too many steep terrains between the two places.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which was able to complete military information exchanges relatively quickly with its relatively dominant offshore power, the Eight Banners was strong in field combat capabilities, but it was still far behind in siege and maritime aspects.

"Master, now it's time to make a choice."

Fan Wencai frowned and stepped forward, facing Huang Taiji's gaze, "We have to make a decision whether to continue attacking North Korea or to return to aid Daikin."

How could it be that easy?

Huang Taiji sighed lightly. It was not that he had not thought about these situations when he learned about the war situation in Liaoqian, but now he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off.

The roads in the northern border of Korea were controlled by the Eight Banners, and a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and even livestock, women, etc. were looted and concentrated in several fortified cities. Because of the participation of the Ming army to aid Korea, Huang Taiji carried out large-scale adjustments. Only with troops and garrison can we stabilize the current situation.

Yes.

In the process of continuous conquest, there were indeed many people who were afraid of death and chose to serve under the Eight Banners. However, the combat power of these Koreans was so poor that it was okay to use them as cannon fodder, but it would be better to ask them to fight tooth and nail on the battlefield. It requires elite subordinates to suppress it.

When making the above arrangements, Huang Taiji and the others never thought that there would be problems in Liaoqian, because in their hearts, Huang Taiji and the others might think that the Liao Ming army was difficult to deal with, but they would not fight so fiercely. No matter what.

Huang Taiji and the others ignored that Xiong Manzi went crazy.

It doesn't matter that this madness not only affected Nurhaci and others, but also indirectly affected Huang Taiji and others.

"Xiong Tingbi is difficult enough, but now Sun Chengzong appears!!"

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said: "When this guy fights, he is like a shrunken turtle. No matter how he fights, all the Ming armies under his command must first build a turtle shell!"

"Sudden, unable to break through."

"But it's even harder to withdraw!"

"Even if we really want to send back reinforcements, those we obtained in North Korea, especially the women, must all be withdrawn with us. But if this is really the case, do you think Sun Chengzong will give our army such an opportunity?"

Fan Wencai and Fan Wencheng looked at each other with solemn expressions.

The answer is obvious, this is impossible.

"And don't forget it!"

Huang Taiji continued: "The rebels led by Liu Aita have entered Xianjing Road. Jizhou City has been captured by this dog slave. If they dare to get in touch with the Ming army led by Sun Chengzong, the situation will be even more dangerous. "

To this day, the difficulties facing Huang Taiji are no better than Nurhaci who was driven crazy by Xiong Tingbi.

"Master, if this is the case, then our army will have to fight!"

Fan Wencheng's eyes sharpened and he looked at Huang Taiji.

"Won't come back for help?"

Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although Huang Taiji said very few words, both of them knew what their master meant. No matter how good North Korea was, it was not the root of the Eight Banners.

When I chose to attack North Korea, I wanted to achieve various things through this war. All of them were based on the fact that the roots of the Eight Banners were not chaotic and not bad!

But if the roots of the Eight Banners are disrupted and broken, even if the entire territory of North Korea is captured, can Huang Taiji really deter North Korea?

Conquer more with less?

But this little is too little.

"Return of support is certain."

Fan Wencheng said solemnly: "No matter how good North Korea is, it is not as good as the Eight Banners. If Lao Khan encounters something unexpected in this battle, then the master's opportunity will come."

Huang Taiji's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, but he was not angry.

"I think... Jiang Hong should be sent to lead his troops to Xianjing Road immediately, and Liu Aita's troops must be suppressed no matter what." Fan Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the fear in his heart, and spoke out what he was thinking.

"And the master has to try to recruit the elites who crossed the river. After all, Amin Beile did not really come to North Korea. This means that the situation in Liaoqian is more serious than the master knows."

"While doing these things, we also need to set up battles to make the Ming army led by Sun Chengzong mistakenly think that our army does not know the situation before Liao Dynasty and wants to start a decisive battle with them on the front line in Pyongyang."

Huang Taiji thought of something.

"During this period, the things obtained, especially livestock and women, must be escorted in batches to the Kuandian Forts as quickly as possible."

Fan Wencai stepped forward at this moment and said: "Master, the opportunity you have been looking forward to has come. No matter what happens in Liaoqian, no matter what happens to the Eight Banners, you must go back. If North Korea cannot be defeated this time, you can wait until the next time, but this time If the opportunity does arise and the master fails to seize it, the master will never have another chance. "

Huang Taiji knew that this was to let him snatch the throne!
And this premise is based on the possibility that something unexpected might happen to his Khan Amma.

Even if there is no accident, he still has to go back. After all, the Eight Banners has encountered a huge crisis, and he cannot leave the core of the Eight Banners.

Once you break away, you will become a lonely ghost! !

Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Amin, Azig, Dorgon...

At this moment, Huang Taiji silently recited a personal name in his heart. Those who are familiar with Huang Taiji's character knew what Huang Taiji was going to do after seeing the expression on Huang Taiji's face at this moment.
