Chapter 122 Ammunition will run out

Bang!

Huang Taiji, who touched the back of his head, slapped the table in front of the four major belles for the first time, and angrily scolded Abatai and others who were kneeling on the ground.

However, more than 10,000 imperial guards and tens of thousands of cavalry attacked in turn but still could not be defeated, which instead caused him to be defeated several times.

This was the first setback Huang Taiji experienced since Ningyuan, and it was also the first time he suffered a loss since he ascended the throne.

He was very depressed and regretted that he shouldn't have instinctively thought that he could repeat the siege of Tumu Fort because Zhu Youxiao left the capital.

However, he found that he was not Yesen, and that younger, more calm and composed Zhu Youxiao was not Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty who had not been involved in the world.

Huang Taiji can't help feeling nervous when he thinks of Zhu Youxiao whom he saw in Bai Ri.

This was the first time he had been unconfident since he could remember. He didn't understand why he was so suspicious of a guy who was so young but good at the inner court. Is it because he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and because he abandoned the Donglin Party shortly after he ascended the throne, quickly controlled the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, confiscated a series of decisive measures such as the Eight Great Shanxi merchants and other decisive measures and escaped from the control of all officials at a young age?

"You can't even grab a musket, and you have lost more than 300 armored men. You, you are really OK."

Huang Taiji angrily scolded Abatai and Duoduo. They did not dare to speak out, but they felt aggrieved in their hearts. They never thought that there was such a fierce and fearless Ming army in the world and that they would even use their heads to smash the flintlock rifle than to be taken away by their own people.

"Drag and beat the thirty boards!"

Huang Taiji waved his hand and didn't want to pay attention to them anymore. He sat on the chair and sighed.

It was the first time he met such a Ming army who was not afraid of death and had strict military discipline and strong combat effectiveness, and was also a Ming army who had never experienced the battlefield before. The cooperation of these Ming army infantry and artillery and cavalry cooperation, and their defensive positions were also vivid. He had to admit that Zhu Youxiao was not a simple person.

"Mr. Fan, you have a lot of knowledge and know what the positions placed by the Ming army are from, and what methods can be used to target them? In today's battle, we were defeated here for a great reason. The Ming army used trenches as the position and arranged them in a staggered manner. As long as we enter within a hundred steps of his range, we are like piercing into a pocket. No matter where we rush from, we will be trapped in the net."

Seeing Huang Taiji ask this, Fan Wencheng, who is accustomed to showing off his strategy, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead: "It must be the lost ambush. This array is like a sky net. Zhu Youxiao is not an ignorant, but he also understands this, but any array must have defects."

Huang Taiji felt a little dizzy. Since Fan Wencheng knew why he didn't tell him about his flaws earlier, he lost a lot of Later Jin cavalry in vain.

"Oh, Mr. Fan can tell how this formation is resolved."

"Your Majesty can send heavy troops to attack at night, so that although Zhu Youxiao has ten sides to open the net, he has no eyes."

Fan Wencheng was not stupid either. Seeing that Huang Taiji insisted on asking his own fabrication, he thought of a way to do it perfunctorily.

After hearing this, Huang Taiji couldn't help laughing. Fan Wencheng had some despicable conspiracies and tricks. At this military level, this guy could only talk nonsense, even if he said something he could guess.

In this way, Huang Taiji couldn't help but think of Ning Wan, who was killed by Zhu Youxiao's lingchi. He couldn't help but sigh, and his resentment towards Zhu Youxiao became even deeper.

At this time, Door got out: "Khan, our casualties have been checked clearly. The Eight Banners' armored soldiers have lost more than 630 people, more than 1,800 soldiers without armor, more than 3,000 Han and Mongolian cavalry, and other coated slaves have also lost more than 500 people. Only more than 1,000 people are still there."

Huang Taiji couldn't help but hold his forehead. Like the Beile people who were here who were angry and couldn't vent, he didn't expect that he would lose so many people because he wanted to capture Zhu Youxiao alive.

"Fan Wencheng, you go to Liaodong immediately and contact other Guanning generals secretly. If you can turn against the water, it will be better. You cannot turn against the water, but you must provide convenience for exiting the country."

Huang Taiji said and said to Sahalian again: "In the middle of the night, you will bring another thousand white-armored soldiers to secretly sneak into the enemy camp to disrupt their deployment. It is best to capture Zhu Youxiao for Ben Khan. If you can't catch him, you have to catch a gun."

Although Huang Taiji was extremely angry with Zhu Youxiao, he had to make plans to get out of seclusion. After all, he now knew that the Ming army, who were serving the kings in various places, was probably not far from here.

But Huang Taiji, who was struggling to get on the tiger, must launch a final attack on Zhu Youxiao within the past one or two days. He must do his best to defeat Zhu Youxiao.

Moreover, he believed that Zhu Youxiao was afraid that he was as worried as he was now.

...

"Yuheng (Yuheng, Qin Botong's name is Yuheng), how long can our ammunition, food and fresh water support?" Zhu Youxiao lay on the soft couch in the dragon chariot with his eyes closed, but he couldn't sleep. He even called Qin Botong, the commander of the baggage battalion, to inquire.

"The last time I am about to report to Your Majesty, because of a heavy rain, there is not much left in ammunition and food, and now it can only last for one to two days."

Qin Botong replied in a low voice, especially the military branch that mainly uses firearms, has more important requirements for logistics support. Qin Botong naturally has learned this from the class of officer training, but it is only now that he realizes the importance of this, and this is the responsibility of him, the commander of the baggage battalion, so Qin Botong is also a little guilty now.

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, just nodded, and ordered someone to call Tang Fusheng in: "How is the progress of the king-fighting troops in various places?"

Tang Fusheng replied: "There is no latest news yet, but the order given by Mr. Lu to them must arrive at the latest a few days later, and they will be killed one minute later!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said nothing. After eating for a long time, he said to Qin Botong: "No matter what, you must make sure that nothing is wrong tonight. Whether I can have a good sleep depends on your General Qin."

"His Majesty let go, if the Tartars dare to disturb your dream, they will never come back!"

Qin Botong said that afterwards, he left the dragon chariot and immediately sent troops to chop firewood to light bonfires everywhere, and set up hidden stakes on the roads that must be passed everywhere. At the same time, he also dug a trap for horses.

As soon as Sahalian's white-armored soldiers entered the defense zone, they encountered various traps, and lost more than a hundred people in less than half an hour.

Sahalian did not dare to be too entangled, so he hurriedly retreated.

Huang Taiji did not intend to capture Zhu Youxiao alive by night attacks. After all, as long as Zhu Youxiao is not a fool, he would guess this. However, there is only one reason for doing this. He still couldn't believe that he was facing an opponent that he could not be underestimated. He still had a lucky mentality.

But seeing that Sahalian returned without success, he had no other choice but to scold him.
