Does Dorgon really want to fight the crazy king Zhu Qizhu?

Of course not!

He just wanted to give it a try.

If you can defeat the army of Crazy King, it is naturally the best. If you can't do it, then continue running.

This is the lesson learned from his father Nurhaci and his fourth brother Huang Taiji. The Ming army is not bad. If they really act ruthlessly, they are not opponents.

In Shenyang, Jinzhou and Ningyuan, they had suffered the losses of Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan. If they knew that they could not do it at that time and fought with the Ming army, then the more than 100,000 people in the Eight Banners would have been fighting all of them long ago.

Therefore, his father Nurhaci and his fourth brother Huang Taiji could not do it. When Xiong Tingbi was guarding Chenyang, when Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan were guarding the Guanning Jin defense line, they did not fight with the Ming army, but instead conquered the Mongolian and Yuan tribes.

The final result was that Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan were all dealt with by the Ming court themselves, and they also took this time to conquer the Mongolian and Yuan tribes. After the Ming court replaced Yuan Yingtai, Wang Huazhen, Wang Zaijin, and Hong Chengchou, they went there again, and it was too easy to win.

At this moment, he obviously couldn't beat the madman. It was the most correct choice to avoid his edge and wait for the opportunity.

The reason why he gathered a large army and acted desperately was actually a different purpose.

His main purpose is not to fight Zhu Qizhuo, and he didn't have any luck. He knew very well that this battle was probably about to lose, and the possibility of winning was less than 10%.

At that time, if they retreat to the Korqin Grassland and Chahar Grassland, many things will be prepared for the future.

For example, the most important issue of food is that although there is no food to grab, what should I do if I don’t get it or if I don’t have enough food?

Could it be that the tribe members starved to death?

He naturally had to try his best to avoid such things, so he had to find ways to save food. For example, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han were basically useless when robbing grain, but he ate more than ordinary tribe members. What should he keep it?

This is the real purpose of his gathering of these people. If he wins by chance, he will naturally be happy. If he can't win, then you will die to avoid wasting food in the future.

There is another advantage when these people are consumed completely, that is, they guarantee their absolute dominance of the Eight Banners.

You should know that there are not many young and strong men in the Manchu Eight Banners, and in terms of number, they cannot compare with the Eight Banners in the Mongolian Eight Banners. When they were in Liaodong, they could still rely on their advantage in geographical advantages and the lackeys of the Han Eight Banners to steadily suppress the Eight Banners. If they arrived at the Korqin Grassland and the Chahar Grassland, the advantage in geographical advantages would be gone, and the infantrymen of the Han Eight Banners could only waste food if they were kept.

Therefore, before going to the Korqin Grassland and the Chahar Grassland, he had to find a way to consume the strength of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Banners.

For example, the Mongolian Eight Banners infantry who waste food is best consumed.

As for the Eight Banners of Han, as long as they can fight back, they will have as much as they need. This time, they will leave here for the Eight Banners of Mongolia to be buried with them!

Monk Wu Sangui, please be happy to know Dorgon’s idea, and he would probably be so angry that he rebelled on the spot.

Question: At this moment, they didn’t know what Dorgon thought, because Dorgon pretended too much and clearly had a desperate attitude of trying hard to fight the crazy king Zhu Qi. How could they not fight hard?

Shang Kexi stood at the head of Liaoyang City and looked at the vague Ming military camp in the distance, and felt extremely complicated.

At this time, he really had no confidence.

Although he led a hundred thousand troops to defend the city and had the advantage of geographical advantage, although there were giant red-clothed cannons in the city, and although there were 100,000 elite cavalry outside the city waiting for an opportunity to move, he could come up to support him at any time, but he still had no idea at all.

Because the Crazy King Army is so powerful, he has never heard of any defeat in the Crazy King Army!

Once someone starts fighting, it will destroy everything and sweep away everything. Whether it is Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Duoduo, Geng Zhongming, or Kong Youde, they will have no power to fight back.

However, this time the Crazy King army seemed a little afraid and did not dare to take the risk to attack Liaoyang City.

Because three days have passed, the Crazy King army should have made almost the same siege equipment. Even if they don’t launch a fierce attack, they should test it. However, the Crazy King army has no movement at all.

Because the distance is too far, he didn't know what the Crazy King army was doing. He just hoped that Crazy King Zhu Qizhu was really afraid of the strength inside and outside Liaoyang City and did not dare to launch an attack.

Is Zhu Qizhu afraid of Jiannu's strength?

Of course not.

The reason why he has not moved is because Sun Chuanting has not come yet.

So, what are the children and grandchildren Chuanting doing now?

Sun Chuanting was frowning outside Shanhaiguan and pondering.

He had ordered 100,000 Southwest Army to take a boat to Ningyuan. Jiannu was indeed not prepared for it, and the Guanningjin defense line had been taken down by them.

At this moment, he led 150,000 Huguang Army and 100,000 Southwest Army to attack Shanhaiguan Defense Line on both sides. Moreover, the emperor also transferred the 800 cannons that were originally prepared to be equipped to Pingdong Army, Pingxi Army, Pingnan Army, Pingbei Army, Andong Army, Anxi Army, Annan Army and Anbei Army to him.

In other words, he has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and number of artillery. Logically speaking, there should be no problem in taking Shanhaiguan.

The problem is that Wu Sangui actually expanded Weiyuan City on the mountain ridge west of Shanhaiguan, and put most of the red-clothed cannons on it.

He just used a telescope to scan it casually. Wu Sangui wanted to use the advantages of the terrain to make up for the shortcomings in the range of the artillery. If he put the cannon under the mountain and bombarded Weiyuan City, the red-clothed cannons in Weiyuan City would definitely hit them.

They are in the city, and they have no protection. If they just fight against each other, the result can be imagined.

It is very likely that the eight hundred cannons were destroyed by others, and they had not yet swept away the female walls and arrows in Weiyuan City.

If the female wall and arrows in Weiyuan City cannot be swept away, they cannot clean up the red cannons on the city wall. If the red cannons on the city wall cannot be swept away, the infantry will be bombarded in a mess when they run up and attack. Moreover, if the female wall and arrows are not swept away, it will be difficult for the infantry to attack with shells to attack.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the artillery in Weiyuan City covers both north and south of Shanhaiguan. If he leads his army to attack Shanhaiguan, he can only eat shells under the city wall.

The loss is simply incalculable!

In other words, if he didn't take down Weiyuan City first, he wouldn't be able to fight this battle.

The question is that Weiyuan City is on the top of the mountain and is full of artillery. How can he attack it?

He held the telescope and observed for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and ordered: "Push a hundred cannons up, scatter in a semicircle, aim at Weiyuan City, and test the bombs for a few rounds. Remember, try to disperse all the cannons and don't squeeze together."

Soon, thousands of artillery soldiers pushed a hundred cannons up.

Sure enough, as soon as they set up their formation, a terrifying roar of cannons sounded from Weiyuan City.

Sun Chuanting raised his telescope and looked at it, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Hehe, it's true.

Wu Sangui can make up for the disadvantage of range by mounting the cannon on the mountain, but they do not have high-precision telescopes. At such a long distance, they can see the position of the cannon in a vague way. In addition, the red-clothed cannon is already poor, so it would be strange if they can hit it!
