Nanming Engineer

Chapter 452 Hate
After a brief silence, Prince Tuxietu, who was sitting on the lower right side and the head of the four princes of the Horqin Tribe, coughed and spoke first.

"Prince Regent, in today's battle, our Horqin Department was ordered to follow the Han army and join the regiment battle. Armored soldiers from all banners and alliances went to battle. A total of 1 soldiers, 800 healthy horses, and countless weapons and weapons were invested. After returning to the camp, there were [-] remaining soldiers, more than [-] of whom were injured, and nearly [-] were seriously injured. Countless people had amputated limbs and hands. It is a great loss that has never been seen in the past years."

Badali's tone was low, his face was heavy, and he looked saddened. It looked embarrassing. It seemed that a generation of prairie heroes had really hurt their muscles and bones, and that's why they were so depressed.

The other three kings of the Horqin tribe also bowed their heads silently.

"It is especially unacceptable that Taiji Sangger died on the spot." Badali frowned and continued: "His tribe is extremely brave among the Mongols. They have always charged forward and were invincible. Entering the customs with the Qing Dynasty, everyone took the lead and made countless meritorious deeds. In today's battle, the 2000 people he personally led died in battle, and there was no survivor. !"

His words are lamentable, and he has a firm heart.After hearing this, Dorgon sighed and said, "Yes! After this battle is over, I will go up to the emperor and give him a grand burial!"

Badalley bowed his head to thank Dorgon, and Dorgon said again: "There are many damages in the Horqin tribe. This king has already seen it, but he didn't expect so many damages, such injuries, all for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. In a few days, I will be transferred to the rear wing, and I will rest for a while, and after a rest, I will go back to the battle."

The four kings of Horqin were overjoyed. They entered the customs this time to grab the benefits, but they never thought that the benefits would not be grabbed and they would lose their capital first. This is not worth it.The warriors on the grassland are the capital of dominance. If too many people die, other tribes will look at them with eager eyes. There may be internal strife and annexation at some point. The Qing Dynasty will not send troops to stand up for itself.

So the four of them hurriedly nodded their heads in thanks, and said something appropriate to the situation.

Dorgon waved his hand, looked around the people in the seats, and saw a few generals of the Han army sitting at the end.

They are commander-in-chief Li Guoying, Bai Guangen, Zhao Zhilong and Sun Long.

What is somewhat surprising is that Bai Guangen, who fell into the forefront on the battlefield, survived. Liu Fangming behind him died, but he did not die. Not only did he not die, but he followed the Mongols when they finally withdrew their troops They retreated together, and they didn't hurt a single hair in the fighting with swords and swords, which can be called a miraculous figure.

Several people were a little restless and lost their minds.

It's no wonder that if the Mongols were defeated miserably today, then the Han army was defeated so much that they even lost their pants.The three generals who charged totaled more than [-] men, and there was not even scum left. They were all thrown into the minefields and arrow rain of the Ming army. Countless generals were killed in battle, even Liu Fangming died in it. How about tomorrow?Several people were worried whether they would follow in Liu Fangming's footsteps.

Dorgon didn't ask them, but turned his head directly to Man Dahai beside him. Man Dahai looked at a piece of paper in his hand, said something in a low voice, and Dorgon nodded solemnly.

The bonfire "beeps and crackles", sparks pop out from time to time, and as the airflow rises, they float into the air. The semi-dry and not wet wood is not easy to burn, and the smoke is so strong that the mutton is blackened. The soldier in charge of roasting the sheep quickly turned the stick.

Dorgon's complexion was even darker than that of mutton.

"The way of war is that there are gains and losses. There is no army that can win every battle, and there is no general that can't win every battle. The cycle of victory and defeat is determined by God's will. It is not the fault of war." He said slowly, his voice as thick as A pot of pure tea: "Although we did not take down the southern barbarian pass today, I saw that all the generals were moving forward with one heart and one mind. There were fierce generals like Sanger, and there were soldiers who died in battle without retreating. , I am very pleased that all the generals have no faults and have all contributed!"

As soon as he said this, many people in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. According to the military regulations of the Qing Dynasty, anyone who cannot be defeated in battle, from the leader down to the leader, is guilty. If it is serious, he can be killed, and if he is minor, he can be demoted and exiled. In the Qing army, Extremely strict. If you fail to achieve your goal like today, you will have to kill a few people to show off.

When Dorgon said this, he meant to let everyone go, and to some extent saved some people's heads, how could he not breathe a sigh of relief?

However, some people complained, is this just to save face for themselves?The commander was Dorgon himself, and it was his order to retreat before the battle was defeated. If one wanted to criticize him, he should be the first to be criticized. Such a grand statement would only save himself the embarrassment.

Man Dahai twitched his skin a few times, but didn't make a sound.Of course he knew that the reason why Dorgon betrayed Horqin's face, withdrew his troops and returned to camp when the war was in full swing, and was still here to offend them was entirely because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, whose natal family was the Horqin Ministry.

"But Taiyuan is in a hurry. It's like a pile of eggs hanging in the air. It's in danger." Dorgon's voice was not high, but it was very bold, echoing in the night sky like the sound of winding beams: "If we stay here for one more day, Zhu Shichang will be more dangerous. If Taiyuan If there is a mistake, what we lose is definitely not a city or a pool, but the whole of Shanxi!"

"Wang Huan of the Southern Barbarians dared to block the heavenly soldiers and lions with the power of ants, but the mantis blocked the chariot, but it should not be underestimated. This beast can kill my capable minister Meng Qiaofang in Shaanxi, Tuiboluo, and Nikan two kings here. In Sichuan, Hauge is quite capable, and I watched the battle today, and I have some experience with this way of fighting."

"The Southern Man takes firearms first, and most of them have generals who are good at firearms. After many battles in Liaodong, our army has already experienced it. The way of firearms is indeed powerful. Therefore, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and others came to vote, and Emperor Taizong treated them with courtesy. , bestowed by high-ranking officials, supported by high salaries, what they did was only to use firearms!"

"This dog is even worse. It is proficient in the use of firearms. Its firearms are so fierce that it has never been seen before. It is the strongest in years. It wiped out tens of thousands of people while talking and laughing. It is really abominable. But this dog has a heart of stone and is stupid. Loyalty is ridiculous! People who dare to kill me to persuade them to surrender are not available. Although it is a pity, you cannot tolerate him! Sun Long, you are the most proficient in firearms in the army. You have received the true biography of Sun Yuanhua. Tell me, how to break it? "

The eyes of the audience immediately focused on Sun Long who was shrunk at the end.

Sun Long choked and almost died from his breath.

You come to ask me, how do I know?

Everyone knows that such fierce gunpowder is because of the gunpowder, yet you come to ask me!

"This, the general thought, what Wang Huan relied on was just the sharpness of firearms. Originally, I, the Qing Dynasty, had a way to deal with firearms, which was to use cavalry to detour, use speed to bypass the firing angle of the firearms, and defeat them in one fell swoop. Or use shields. Press in front of the car and resist the firearm projectiles. Once they get close, the Nanman will collapse. However, these methods may not work on Wang Huan." Sun Long gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and replied: "Their army Toughness is what makes a strong army. It can fight to the death without retreating. In close combat, it is no less powerful than our Eight Banners force. Moreover, its firearms are of various types, which can be used at both distance and close range. The cavalry is also unable to do anything. Therefore, although everyone in our army is brave and fighting for the lead today, But you can’t win, and this is the reason!”

There is some truth in this remark. The Manchu and Mongolian nobles nodded thoughtfully, and Dorgon was silent and listened carefully. Sun Long was greatly encouraged when he saw that there was a door, and immediately became more energetic.

"Originally, in rainy days, firearms can be restrained from being used. I never thought that Wang Huan's firearms are impenetrable by water and fire, and they can fight in the rain. It is really unexpected. But the rainy day is muddy, which restricts our army's pace. The weather that restricts the Ming army has become a limitation for our army. Difficult and unexpected.”

"If we attack with a sea of ​​people and cover up the killing with a large army, we will definitely be able to defeat this beast, but in this way, the loss will be too severe. Even if our army wins, it will be a miserable victory and it will not be worthwhile."

"Or you can lure him with a partial teacher, attack in stages, so that he can't rest, use up gunpowder in vain, wait until he runs out of gunpowder, and then fight, you can also be defeated. Wei Jiuyi, don't delay, this method is not feasible!"

"So after much deliberation, the general thinks that the best way is to use firearms against firearms and cannons to make cannons!" Sun Long said firmly at last.

"Use red cannons to attack them! Use a sea of ​​soldiers to attack them at the same time, and you will win!"

Everyone stared at each other, then looked at each other, and then raised their palms to strike each other, overjoyed.

"General Sun is indeed an outstanding person!" Man Dahai shouted excitedly: "That's it!"

Dorgon also smiled, nodded repeatedly, and threw a piece of mutton thigh to Sun Long.

"However, there is one problem." Sun Long held the mutton, as if he had just remembered something, the red light faded like a tide, and murmured: "Our red cannon is still north of Daizhou, the road is muddy, rush, It will take time to get here.”

Everyone's actions froze, and the festive atmosphere immediately dropped to freezing point.

"Send people to transport it! Send more people! Capture all the strong men in the nearby counties and counties, even if you spend your life under the wheels of the cannon wheel, you must transport the cannon over as soon as possible!" Dorgon said murderously: "This king Within five days, see the red cannon!"
