Chapter 1012 True Ding House

Beijing City, Dorgon is now even worried about his hair. He didn't expect that his right-hand man, Ajige, was shot by Zhu Jie in seconds and killed him on the battlefield. Without Ajige's Eastern Army, the money fell down and scattered. Even Tan Tai was a famous general. Even Wu Sangui was resourceful, the two could not curb the decline of the Qing army. Under the pressing of the Ming army, he was completely defeated by Zhu Jie in less than ten days.

Dorgon regretted it very much. If his order to order the Eastern Army to siege Huaian Prefecture and advance to Nanjing City, one or two days later, there might not be such a huge crisis in front of him. It was precisely because Tan Tai and Wu Sangui received their orders that they began to wander. Without their own orders, how could they dare to withdraw their troops privately?

In just three days, it was just three days away, which brought a catastrophe to the Eastern Route Army!

The Western Route Army has been destroyed, and the Eastern Route Army has now been destroyed. When Manchuria was at its strongest force, it was close to 300,000 people. Now, there are only about 100,000 people. Such a small force is a bit unsatisfied with the Tianwei Army. What's more, the Ming army now has three towns in Nanjing and the Jingying Army. The most speechless thing is Zheng Zhilong. He has high hopes for Zheng Zhilong, hoping that it can complete the situation of restraining the Ming army and attacking Nanjing with Ajige. Unexpectedly, the unlucky Zheng Zhilong was beaten by the Jingying Army first in Xianxia Ridge, and then the mouse turned his sword to rebel and was killed by his son and brothers.

What's this called?

Zheng Zhilong's generation of heroes, who owns Fuzhou Town and Fujian Navy, are powerful. He did not expect that it would disappear so soon. It is really impermanent.

Dorgon’s only hope now is Mongolia, hoping to borrow a large army from Mongolia and help him. If there is no Mongolia’s support, I am afraid that he may not be able to defend Beijing City, and he will even be driven out of Shanhaiguan by the Ming army.

Dorgon gritted his teeth, picked up a red pen and wrote a secret letter, handed it to the eunuch beside him, and shouted: "Immediately send someone to send the letter to Prince Yu and tell him that if he doesn't get the news of Mongolia going south to Zhili within half a month, he will let him give up Daming Mansion on his own, break through the capital, retreat to Baoding and Zhuozhou, and there is no need to fight, and preserving his strength is the best!"

The eunuch ran away quickly.

Dorgon placed his hopes on the Mongolian tribes. The Mongolian tribes were not fuel-efficient. Since ancient times, they have been adding more icing on the cake and fewer timely help. Now it is no longer the time when the Qing army just entered the pass. At that time, Dorgon was full of energy and the Manchu cavalry was unstoppable. The Mongolian tribes were frightened by the strength of Manchu and did not dare to have any covetousness. They could only follow the troops and want to get a share of the pie. Now it is different. The current situation is that Manchu is no longer in glory and has suffered consecutive defeats. Dorgon has no choice but to take Manchu seriously?

Although the Ming Dynasty was the common enemy of Mongolia and Manchuria, if there is no driving force for the interests, why should I work hard for the Manchus? Do you really think the Manchuria and Mongolian family are there?

It’s not impossible to send troops, you can get benefits!

The Mongolian tribes spoke out one by one and made harsh demands on the Qing Dynasty, asking for silver, salt and tea, porcelain, grain, and even the territory and population. Now the envoys sent to the Mongolian tribes have long been in a state of great trouble. If his meat is valuable, he would be afraid that even his own meat would be sold to the Mongolians.

In the end, after Dorgon agreed to the extremely harsh conditions of the Mongolian troops, the Mongolian troops finally agreed to send troops. The Chahar troops gathered 30,000 cavalry, set out from the south of the desert, and advanced all the way. It took ten days to enter the Xuanda area and continue to move closer to the south of the Beijing.

Dorgon's order to the Mongolian tribes was to defeat Sun Chuanting's army and relieve the dilemma of Zhending's mansion!

What Dorgon cares about the most is Zhending Mansion. It doesn’t matter if the entire Shandong is lost. If you can’t fight, you will get it back if you have the strength. However, Zhending Mansion must be guaranteed in his own hands. At least when Duoduo has not left Daming Mansion, the safety of Zhending Mansion must be guaranteed. Otherwise, Sun Chuanting will be taken down by Zhending Mansion and cut off the retreat. Then Duoduo will be in great trouble. Unless Duoduo’s army has all given wings, it will be impossible to escape from the siege of Xu Yifan and Sun Chuanting!

Unfortunately, the Mongols were still one step late. From Dorgon's order to go to Mongolian troops to seek help, and when the Mongolian cavalry entered the capital, it took more than a month. One month was enough for Sun Chuanting to carry out the operation. After Qin Mufeng's trouble, Zhending Mansion was already dilapidated. Large areas of the city wall collapsed and there was no time to repair it. At most, it was piled up with some blue bricks. How could such a city defense be forbidden to bear the attack of Sun Chuanting's army?

If Abatai had not led some elite troops from the two yellow flags to arrive at Zhending Mansion in time and defended Jiergalang, Sun Chuanting would have taken down Zhending Mansion long ago. The elite combat power of the two yellow flags was really not enough. At least, the army under Sun Chuanting had no force to compete with the elite troops of the two yellow flags, even in Qianzhen, Nanjing, it was the most elite combat power in Manchuria. Although Abatai did not have many troops, only less than 20,000 people, it still brought huge resistance to Sun Chuanting.

In one month, almost all the city walls of Zhending Mansion have been flattened by Sun Chuanting's artillery battalion, and there are broken walls everywhere. The Qing army suffered heavy casualties under the attack of Ming army artillery fire. Even if the two yellow flags are powerful, they cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery.

Finally, after a month of large-scale attack, Sun Chuanting saw that the Qing army's combat power had almost been consumed, and made up his mind to launch a final attack on Zhending Mansion.

The soldiers of Nanjing Qianzhen, Nanjing Houzhen, Fengyangzhen, and the three towns launched a fierce attack on Zhending Mansion at the same time, and made up their minds to take down Zhending Mansion in the shortest time!

This is the difference between Sun Chuanting and the younger generals. If it were Qin Mufeng or Cha Shuan, he would have launched a strong attack long ago. However, Sun Chuanting did not. He knew very well that if he had launched a strong attack as soon as he came up, the two yellow flag elites in Zhending City would definitely bring heavy casualties and extremely heavy casualties to the army of the three towns under his command. This price is not even something he can bear. Underestimating his enemies is a price of bleeding.

A month of battle is enough to squeeze out the energy and physical strength of the two yellow flags. This is the best time to attack yourself!

Attack and take down Zhending Mansion!
