But Dorgon insisted that he had seen that since his intelligence was not as good as Huang Taiji's and even slightly inferior to Li Laiheng's, then at least in terms of courage and courage, he could not be lower than the enemy.
The honor guard of Dorgon's actions was no different from that of the emperor. When he went to the forefront of the siege of Xuzhou City, he not only did not conceal his whereabouts, but also brought a large number of escort officials with him.
The whip was fired three times, and the chanting officer shouted in a long voice: "Xing!" The cavalrymen in the guard camp all jumped off their horses and stood upright.
Dorgon wore a bright yellow tuanlong court robe, a small mink fur satin crown on his head, and blue satin court boots. In terms of clothing and ceremonial guards, he was actually no different from the emperor.
The chanting officer shouted: "Chao——"
The voices of nearly a thousand people combined into a loud and earth-shattering congratulation: "Long live the Prince Regent, long live, long live!" In the crowd of red and blue people lying on the ground, like a thick carpet, with golden words
Dorgon, dressed in yellow as the main theme, stood calmly. Not only did he look tall and majestic, but he also shone like he was made of gold.
Dorgon also had a sense of looking forward to his own glory. It was not easy for him to reach this point. Huang Taiji forced his mother, the concubine Abahai, to death, but today Dorgon also imprisoned Huang Taiji's eldest son.
There is only one battle left to usurp the throne that belongs to Huang Taiji.
Dorgon walked forward, and the imperial guards, internal officials, and more than 300 Luanbuluan Yishou were like a long, increasingly wider wedge-shaped tail, sticking closely behind the regent.
The soldiers and horses of the guard camp followed closely behind, guarding Dorgon.
Artillery fire was flying on the battlefield. Although the Qing Dynasty's artillery was far more numerous than the cannons of the defenders of Xuzhou City. But there were no weapons and guns on the battlefield, let alone artillery shells. There were always a few of the defenders' bullets that could land.
Entering the inside of the Qing army's trench, many soldiers were blown up to the point where their limbs were broken and their organs were shattered.
Dorgon's ability to stand in such a picture of Shura Hell without changing his expression was quite amazing in inspiring the fighting spirit and morale of the Qing soldiers.
Everywhere he went, accompanied by the voices of the Ming Zang Guan and Lu Bu Luan Yi, the soldiers of the Qing army - whether they were the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners or the Mongolian outer vassal soldiers, or even the Han army banners and ordinary Han soldiers - all gave out mountain cries.
A tsunami-like roar of loud and warm cheers.
Long live should originally only be used to address the emperor, but now in Beijing, there are of course two sacred tablets of Emperor Fulin of Showa and Emperor Zhu Cixang of Tongzhi.
But everyone doesn't know that these two little emperors are just idol puppets that Dorgon can manipulate and play with at will.
All the power of the Qing Dynasty was in the hands of Dorgon.
With the dignity of the regent, he personally visited the front line of the siege. This was a very rare thing, and it was also something that would never happen in the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the soldiers of the Qing army knew the news of the arrival of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and many people also knew that Emperor Hongguang escaped from the battle.
For these Han soldiers who had shaved their heads, at least Dorgon's brave and calm appearance on the battlefield far exceeded those of the Ming Dynasty emperors below Chongzhen.
Although they were traitors and had done all the evil things that were despised by the world, seeing the incompetent appearance of the Nanming army, these traitors seemed to be relieved in their hearts and found a reason for their actions.
A suitable reason.
after all.
This Ming Dynasty looks like it is about to end!
For Dorgon's inspection and inspection, the Eight Banners soldiers on the front line specially set aside a wide open space, paved with neat stone slabs, where they could place the magnificent and colorful tail.
Dorgon stopped and calmly and solemnly ordered to his followers: "You all stay and fight where you should go. There is no need to follow Gu all the time."
"Cha! Cha!"
The imperial guards who were sweating profusely from running around, even though they were all sons of nobles and many of them had outstanding military exploits, they all knelt down and took orders respectfully.
But after the space around Dorgon became empty, especially the empty space specially cleared by the Qing soldiers, it immediately became a target that the defenders attached great importance to at the top of Xuzhou City.
Although Xu Du did not know that the yellow-robed general who appeared on the front line patrolling was Dorgon himself, he realized that this was a good opportunity to kill an important enemy general and demoralize the Qing army.
Therefore, he immediately started to make arrangements, and specially selected 11 sharpshooters from the group of Shandong rebels he had summoned to use bows and arrows to block the attack.
In addition, after Gu Kecheng received this military information, he also selected three warriors who were famous for their accurate marksmanship among his own guards and gave them to Xu Du to command.
Eleven bows and arrows and three flintlock muskets were aimed at Dorgon at the same time. Even though Dorgon's robe was covered with three layers of solid black and gold heavy armor, it was difficult to withstand such fierce firepower from the defenders.
It's a pity that the Qing army was not unprepared. Their Hongyi artillery never stopped the rhythm of shelling. Dorgon specially set aside a place to attract the firepower of the Shun army for sniper killing. It was originally intended to counterattack.
use.
Sure enough, while the Dashun Army's sharpshooters sniped at Dorgon, a group of Qing artillery and sharpshooters deployed by the Nine Kings on the front line also launched a counterattack.
Dorgon himself had a large number of guards hiding around him, guarding them with their lives, but the troops on the city wall were violently attacked by the enemy as they emerged.
Xu Du, who personally directed the sniper killing, was injured by the flying rocks and sand thrown up by the Hongyi artillery bombardment, and many elite soldiers of the Shun army were killed and injured. The Qing army under the city was because of this small victory, especially for Dorgon's bold attack.
Using one's body as bait stimulates full blood and excitement.
"Long live! Long live the Regent, long live, long live!"
Cheers arose one after another, and Dorgon was very satisfied with this. He specially arranged a group of sharpshooters in front of the formation, all of whom were elite soldiers with martial arts comparable to Batulu.
These people were also the secret weapons that Dorgon prepared to use to kill Li Laiheng. Many people in Bo Hetuo's army had seen Li Laiheng, and among the officials accompanying the Qing army, there were also a group of people who surrendered in Dezhou and had seen it with their own eyes.
The traitorous bureaucrat who passed Li Laiheng.
With these people as guides, there is a good chance of sniping the core of the bandits directly in the melee on the battlefield.
In this way, no matter how powerful the Dashun Army's combat effectiveness is, defeat will be unavoidable.
Dorgon's tactics are not unreasonable, although it seems that the idea of sniping Li Laiheng directly is quite unreasonable and lucky.
But if you think about it more carefully, as both Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou said, the rebel commanders in the late Ming Dynasty had the tradition of taking the lead in order to control and unite the army.
Like Li Zicheng himself, when the two armies were in a stalemate, didn't he follow the tradition of the rebel commander personally risking his own life to boost the morale of the entire army, and he personally charged into battle and was killed by the Qing army?
In later history, when Prince Su Hauge attacked the Great Western Army, under the guidance of a traitor, after recognizing Zhang Xianzhong among the thousands of troops, he immediately arranged a large number of sharpshooters to kill Zhang Xianzhong directly, so that Zhang Xianzhong, who was still able to fight, was
The Daxi Army collapsed without any effective resistance and was defeated in Sichuan.
Dorgon personally tested the strength of the Qing army's sharpshooters and confirmed that their ability was indeed far superior to that of the Shun army defenders. While he was satisfied, his fighting confidence suddenly became firmer and stronger.
"All of our real Manchu soldiers are warriors who can fight one against a hundred. Although the bandits have many soldiers and horses and sharp weapons, and even their fighting methods, I have to admit that they are almost on par with our elite Manchu soldiers.
But in terms of archery, horse riding, and archery, the gap between the bandits and the Manchus is even greater than the gap between the Ming army and us!
At least among the Ming army, there were not a few brave men like Wu Sangui and others who were skilled in bow and horse. But how many Wu Sangui were among the bandits?
Manchurians are eagles, bloodthirsty birds of prey. Bandits are just a group of water ducks. Birds with the same feathers fly together in one place. A real bird of prey can fight one against a hundred, so even if there are really millions of bandits,
The public will not be our opponent."
Dorgon was convinced that his tactics would achieve miraculous results, and he was ready for victory:
After the victory in the Battle of Xuzhou, he would first hand over Shandong to the Nanming army for occupation, and release some goodwill to the small court in Jiangnan. But this was just a delaying tactic. After the Qing army swept Henan, Dorgon would fight with Wu Sangui in Luoyang
Join forces and move south to conquer Huguang.
At that time, the remaining small court in Jiangnan will be nothing more than withered bones in the grave. The Qing Dynasty can take back Shandong from them at any time, or even directly destroy Jiangnan.
At that time, Dorgon will replace Fulin and Zhu Cihong and become the only true emperor in the Qing Dynasty and the world, a true emperor who surpasses the achievements of Yelu Abaoji, Wanyan Aguda and Temujin.
