Chapter 539 Clues
Tan Bai arrived yesterday afternoon, and it was the first time he faced the legendary Haicheng. However, as Dorgon said, he was very smart and liked to prepare for the future. As early as the sneak attack, he had been thinking about how to break the Haicheng.
At this time, he was on such a high earth turret, and almost saw most of the Haicheng clearly, and he gradually had a thought in his mind.
After pondering for a moment, he bowed respectfully: "The Regent, the slave also recognizes the siege of Wu Junmen. This is the safest way. However, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is still in the hands of Xu Changqing, so the Qing Dynasty cannot drag it like this. If you want to attack forcefully, according to the slave's thoughts, perhaps, you can operate from multiple lines."
"Um?"
“Tell me in detail.”
Dorgon immediately looked at Tan Bai.
Everyone around him also looked at him, especially Wu Sangui's eyes, which were full of gratitude.
This is what Tan Bai is so brilliant.
Even when facing a Han slave like Wu Sangui, he would not offend him easily.
Looking back at the history of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, even Xu Changqing had to sigh that he was really a bit brilliant.
I won’t talk about the famous people such as Lao Nu, Huang Taiji, Dorgon.
Such as Jirgalang, the seventh old Abatai, the twelfth old Ajige, including Oboi, Tan Bai, Suksah, Ebilon and others, they are all first-class.
Especially Abatai, Ajig, and Tan Bai, are the best among them.
The one with the most magnificent military achievements here is Ajige.
He forced Zhao Rujiao to death, Liu Zongmin killed, Song Xiance captured, Datong settled, and many fierce battles, he took the lead in opening up the situation.
Abatai is not as magnificent as Ajig, but his consciousness, reaction, ability, and especially the role of "chamber pot" at many critical moments should not be underestimated.
It was just because his mother was humble and had been suppressed, and sometimes she was taken over by others for her great achievements.
Furthermore, it is Tan Bai.
His surprise attack philosophy, even if it is put into later generations, is first-class.
It’s just that he is good at military affairs and is in politics, and has not reached the height he should have reached and has been swallowed up by history.
At this time, Tan Bai was originally a slave of Zhengbai Banner, and Dorgon still trusted him very much.
Tan Bai looked at everyone with hope, and his vanity was also very satisfied. He did not hide it anymore and said directly: "Regent, what I mean is that I, the Qing Dynasty, cannot just attack the front battlefield in the south of Haicheng, and can look wider. I have already looked carefully this morning. It is indeed difficult to start the north and the Daqing River Basin, but the seaside in the southeast of Haicheng may not be able to start. We can attack the east and west, feint the Daqing River Basin, prepare for the front battlefield, and then launch surprise troops to attack the southeast of Haicheng! Even if we don't succeed at that time, it will inevitably disrupt Xu Changqing's deployment and find new fighter opportunities..."
As Tan Bai carefully explained his strategy, Dorgon's eyes lit up.
Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and others were all stunned.
At this time, they also understood why it is always so difficult to deal with the Tartars. If they really encountered an opponent like Tan Bai on the battlefield, they really didn't know how they died.
Dorgon couldn't help but slamming his high-highlights and praised: "Very good! Very good! Tan Bai, I, the Qing Dynasty, are not in a hurry to do this battle. I will give you three days, how about it?"
"Salvation for the Regent is a blessing for the servants!"
...
The Qing army set up its formation, and the model army was obviously not idle either.
However, what Xu Changqing did the most during this period was not to stabilize the defense, but to continuously strengthen the soldiers' offensiveness in a subtle way!
The Qing army was indeed brave, but it did not have enough killing weapons to suppress the model army, which greatly protected the defensiveness of Haicheng.
However, at this time, defense alone is not enough. If you want to take advantage of the "welfare" brought by the Qing army, a population of nearly one million must take the initiative!
Moreover, the Qing army must be beaten so that they will never dare to do anything random again!
This requires meticulous and meticulous planning!
The foundation of the Model Army at this time cannot withstand failure.
At this time, looking at the royal flag of Dorgon and others on the platform opposite, Xu Changqing was also thinking quickly.
In this state, it is still unrealistic to find out about Jun head-on.
Defense is enough, but it can't get out, especially since the Qing army has built so many air defense turrets, the deterrence of hot air balloons has been reduced.
Even if they didn't know the arrangement of the Qing army camp at this time, Xu Changqing could guess that they must have had a lot of warnings about air defense work.
This requires using your brain and making a skillful effort.
Xu Changqing thought for a long time, but finally chose a seemingly dangerous method, but in fact it was the safest way: "Teep and kill!"
Just like fishing, even if you give up the three or two city walls outside Haicheng or even the "lighthouse" in the center of Fengguo Town, you must kill and hurt the main force of Zhen Manchu within the maximum range.
As long as the Qing army can be curbed, the model army can be scared from their bones, and the model army will go out of the city to take the initiative to fight and intercept the Hu Qing army's harvest will be truly ripe.
However, it will take some time to see the current situation of the army and truly retreat to Haicheng City. Xu Changqing must temporarily hold on to his spirit.
...
In the evening, Xu Changqing came to the camp of Hongniangzi’s army, the easternmost part of Nanchengtou, for dinner.
On the one hand, this is a reason for official business. Xu Changqing has been going deep into the front-line troops these days, and on the other hand, it is a personal reason for Hong Niangzi.
She was really moved by the several big dramas of Li Youwei and the others, and wanted to speak up with Xu Changqing.
It should be noted that she started running around the world at the age of her age, and she had much deeper experience of the warmth and warmth of this world than ordinary people.
After accompanying dozens of generals to have supper, the Hongniang also found an excuse and pulled Xu Changqing into her tent.
But as soon as Xu Changqing was filled with wine, her tears couldn't stop gushing out: "Changqing, you, what do you think? Aren't you acting good? Why are you so sad that I have been unable to eat well and sleep these days, so I want to fight for the Tartars."
Looking at the grievance of Hong Niang, Xu Changqing was a little funny and a little distressed: "Sister Hong, why are you crying? This is what the situation needs. Besides, this has been beautified and processed. You have never been to Liaodi and don't know the real scene, so it is definitely several times more cruel than these big dramas!"
As he said that, Xu Changqing also felt a little moved, remembering the scene of saving Mei Yan and others in Ningyuan for the first time, and talking to Hongniang.
After Xu Changqing finished speaking, Hongniang's silver teeth were almost broken: "Tartar, it's really not a fucking thing! Changqing, we must beat the dog Tartar hard this time!"
Xu Changqing smiled and clinked a glass with Hongniang: "Sister Hong, the old saying is right, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. We have to take it slowly. The Tartars are too cunning. They are few people, and those real Manchus will not easily take the bait if they have not seen real benefits."
The two of them were drinking and chatting, and soon they drank a few pots of wine.
Although Hong Niangzi has not deep culture, she has rich experience and is also cool in character. She hates evil like a grudge. She is like a sibling and brother, and even deeper. Time passes, and this complex intertwining makes the two have a deep relationship, almost as if they are natural.
Therefore, Xu Changqing doesn’t have to deliberately hide too much in front of Hong Niangzi.
The Hongniang looks the same. Many times, as long as she can see Xu Changqing and listen to Xu Changqing's words, she will feel at ease.
At this time, it was almost time for the two of them to drink seven or eight pots of wine. The Hongniang was already drunk, with a dim drunkenness in her beautiful eyes, which was indescribable.
Xu Changqing was a little jealous, but his rationality suppressed his impulse. He smiled and drank the last glass of wine with her and said, "Sister Hong, let's get here today. Yesterday, the fishing team caught a bluefin tuna. I'll send some to you tomorrow morning. It's very delicious."
The Hongmao couldn't help but look at Xu Changqing with a coquettish look. She didn't want Xu Changqing to leave, but she also understood that this was not the time when children were in love. She nodded and said, "Don't stay up too late, rest early. I think you seem to have lost weight again these days."
As the two said, the Hongmao helped Xu Changqing open the curtain and was about to send Xu Changqing out.
At this moment, a personal soldier suddenly came to report: "Master General, our people just found many Tartars on the south bank of the Daqing River, not far from the First Military Wharf! They built a lot of earthen nests on the shore, and there were several forests nearby. They seemed to have also tampered with them. They seemed to be trying to build a boat and attack us from there!"
"Um?"
Xu Changqing frowned immediately.
The Hongniang also became alert in an instant: "Changqing, Tartars want to play with the secret!"
Xu Changqing nodded slowly.
At this time, as the weather warmed, the Daqing River had gradually begun to freeze, and it was a place where Model Junerlang had not broken the ice, and most of the central part had melted.
If they really swam over from the Daqing River and directly entered the heart of Haicheng, it would be a good method.
"Sister Hong, you have a rest, I'll go and have a look!"
Xu Changqing turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey? Wait, I'll go with you. We'll change defense the day after tomorrow."
The Hongniang also came to her senses for a moment. While asking her personal soldiers to bring her a cloak, she quickly followed Xu Changqing.
Soon, the group rushed to the lighthouse of the First Military Wharf to view the details.
The moon was not very good tonight. The surging Daqing River rolled into the sea, and there was no fire on the other side.
Fortunately, the man on duty was keen. In the evening, he found an abnormality in a forest seven or eight miles away to the west, thus capturing some traces of the Qing army. Otherwise, they would have been confused by them.
At this time, even with the help of a telescope, I can't see too much details clearly.
"Go and go to the woods and have a look."
Soon, Xu Changqing and Hong Niangzi and his group arrived at the first dam to discover the abnormality.
really.
You can see that the woods not far away from the opposite side are thinner and extremely quiet, reducing the anger they usually do.
The Hongniang was particularly keen in this regard and immediately asserted: "Changqing, don't look at it. There are definitely people in this woods! It's spring now, and it's time for cats to be meowed. Spring is here. I used to be on duty here, and I have seen many people send their wild cats they don't want to be meowed to the woods here, but at this time, there is no cats to be meowed at all!"
Xu Changqing nodded slowly, but suddenly said, "Let's go to the southeast to take a look!"
"Ai?"
The Hongniang couldn't keep up with Xu Changqing's rhythm for a while, but Xu Changqing had already left, so she was busy following her quickly.
Half an hour later, the group rushed to the southeast of Haicheng again.
This is a vast mudflat, dark and bumpy. At this time, the vigorous weeds have begun to spit out greenery. When summer comes, it will turn into a magnificent sea of grass.
Before, a businessman had wanted to take over the land here for breeding, but Xu Changqing did not agree.
Because Xu Changqing had sent someone to investigate, there was a lot of oil underneath, so it would definitely not be easily destroyed.
Seeing Xu Changqing staring at this wasteland with concentration, and after a long time of no action, the Hongniang finally couldn't help it and whispered: "Changqing, what's the beauty of this dirty land? You can't even grow crops, and the salt dealers who cook salt think it's dirty."
Xu Changqing suddenly smiled: "Sister Hong, look at the other side, is there something wrong? Why is there an extra sand wall?"
"Ai?"
The Hongniang was stunned and noticed the abnormality of the matter: "No, the Tartars also want to make an idea here?"
Chapter completed!
