The flags of the King of Jin fluttering and rolling in the cavalry formation of the Shun army were soon passed on orally by the Qing soldiers, and the detective cavalry successively brought the information back to the Chinese army's position.
Has Dorgon’s long-awaited Li Laiheng finally appeared?
"The regent is Li Laiheng's flag!"
The two clansmen following Dorgon, the newly promoted Prince of Duoluo, Luo Luohong, and the newly promoted Prince of Duoluo, Mandahai, both concluded with one voice that the opportunity for the Qing's counterattack had arrived.
Mandahai had also fought against the Shun Army several times and had rich combat experience. He thought of the historical precedent of the Manchurian Baturus massing fire to kill Li Zicheng during the Battle of Huolu, and was very optimistic about the idea of sniping Li Laiheng to reverse the situation of the war.
Mandahai held a strong bow in his hand and said eagerly:
"Prince Regent, there is nothing to wait for! If we wait any longer, if the trench position is completely breached by the intruders, will one or two of the ten people in our country and our country be able to return to Yan?"
The thief Xiao Li has trapped himself in a desperate situation, so he gave me his head. If I don’t deploy the magic weapon immediately and take the life of the thief Li Laiheng, the whole situation will be completely ruined!”
Luo Luohong is the Prince of Duoluo and has a higher status than Mandahai. Although his combat experience is not as rich as Mandahai's, his words are certainly more weighty than Mandahai's.
Luo Luohong persuaded quietly: "The Green Camp troops are dispersing one after another. If it takes less than half an hour, the remaining 10,000 or 20,000 Green Camp troops may not be able to hold on. Prince Regent, please make a decision."
Mandahai then said: "Prince Regent, please make a decision!"
Dorgon's eyes were as cunning as white foxes, showing no signs of trouble. He remained silent and turned his gaze to Fan Wencheng and Gang Lin, both academicians of the inner academy.
Gang Lin is Dorgon's best friend. Although he is a civil servant, as a Manchu, his fighting skills are no less than those warriors who enjoy the reputation of Batur. At this time, Gang Lin is also wearing heavy armor and is ready to die.
Prepare for a fight.
Gang Lin, Luo Luohong and Man Dahai agreed and said bluntly:
"This opportunity must not be missed before it comes again. Your Majesty, give the order quickly!"
Fan Wencheng was the only one who hesitated and did not persuade him directly. Dorgon valued Fan Wencheng's opinions the most. Seeing his attitude, of course he had doubts and couldn't help but nodded and asked:
"Maester...?"
Fan Wencheng lowered his head. He was holding a string of dong beads tightly in his hand, passing them one by one, as if counting them. After the last string of dong beads had been passed through his hands completely, Fan Wencheng raised his head and said:
"The Nan Ming army has not yet entered the battlefield. Will the prince wait for the Ming army's move? A sniper kill strategy is essential. We only have one chance. If we fail to snipe Li Laiheng, or if we snipe and kill him, we will not be able to make the intruders more powerful."
If you make a wedding dress for Nanming in vain, won’t you regret it for thousands of years?
Your Majesty...do you want to wait for the Ming army's movements?"
Gang Lin sneered with a face filled with mockery: "Ming Army? The Ming Army's legs were all broken, and they couldn't catch up in such a short distance of several miles. I said they were riding pigs, which was an insult to the pigs. Mr. Fan wanted to wait
I'm afraid the Ming army won't be able to wait until our heads fall to the ground."
Gang Lin mocked Fan Wencheng so unscrupulously, but Dorgon was completely opposite. He lowered his head and pondered. Dorgon was still full of doubts about whether to dispatch the last batch of reserve troops—about whether to dispatch these white-armored soldiers and sharpshooters who were at the bottom of the box.
.
Under the flags of the two white flags are the white-armored troops transferred from each banner. After Dorgon mobilized the escorts, Xiaoqi, and forward battalions several times to fill the front line, the white-armored troops currently waiting under the Zhengbai flag are still there.
There are more than a thousand people, plus the sharpshooters and the emperor's guards directly controlled by Dorgon, there are more than 2,000 troops in total.
These two thousand people were not only the last elite division of the Qing army, but also the last elite of the entire Manchu nation.
If the plan to kill Li Laiheng cannot be completed ideally, if the essence of the Manchus is fleeting and easily abandoned on the battlefield of Xuzhou, the Qing Dynasty...
The Qing Dynasty is coming to an end!
For the first time, Dorgon felt the heavy pressure that Li Laiheng had been carrying for a long time. This was the responsibility of the country, the nation, history and the world!
Deep in those fox-like cold and ruthless eyes, it was no longer possible to hide Dorgon's confusion and fear about the future of the Qing Dynasty.
"wait……"
He gritted his teeth, fiercely pushed the half-drawn waist knife back into the scabbard, and said sternly:
"Wait! Let's wait for the Ming army! I can't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants would be so incompetent!"
It seems that Fan Wencheng's words have a greater influence on Dorgon. Perhaps it is due to excessive pressure that it is difficult for Dorgon to make up his mind to use all his chips.
He finally chose to delay a little longer, trying to pin his hopes on the Ming army. Luo Luohong, Man Dahai, and Gang Lin all looked at each other in disbelief. They had all defeated the Ming army countless times.
Only then did the Manchus establish their confidence in victory, which was invincible in the world.
Now Dorgon wants to place his hopes of defeating the Qing Dynasty on those incompetent Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers!
Luo Luohong said bitterly, "Waiting for the Ming army? Did Emperor Chongzhen wait for the Ming army? What's the use of the Ming army! The intruders broke through the trench and were already close at hand. We still have to wait for the Ming army. Wait, wait, etc.,
If Chongzhen could wait until the Ming army, he wouldn't have died so cowardly!"
Dorgon's face felt cold, his face darkened and he was about to reprimand, in the distance Nikan rushed back to the central army formation with a group of guards. Nikan's armor was broken, and his men and horses were stained with blood.
, there were injuries everywhere, he was holding the Qing army flag in his hand, and the votes on the flag were as usual, still brand new, which made people look at him with suspicion.
The kings and Baylors surrounding Dorgon were all shocked. Everyone was worried that the situation on the front line would change very unfavorably.
Otherwise, how could Nikan, who was commanding the resistance against the intruders in front of the formation, suddenly rush back to the central army?
Man Dahai said in surprise: "Why are the former troops here? Have the intruders broken through the second line of defense? Are the trenches still there? How many soldiers and horses do the intruders have?"
Many generals of the Qing army were still in surprise and panic, and even Dorgon's expression was not calm anymore, but Nikan's face was filled with surprise.
He held the big flag in his hand tightly, swayed it repeatedly, and shouted loudly: "It's the Ming Army! Your Highness, it's the Ming Army. The Ming Army has arrived!"
The Ming army has arrived?
Luo Luohong, Mandahai, Gang Lin and others couldn't believe it. Fan Wencheng took no time to stroke his beard and smile, pretending that the prophecy had come true, clapped his hands and said:
"It's time to arrive."
Dorgon hurried to the hill. He snatched a telescope from the guard beside him. This was a gift from Tang Ruowang. It was much more refined and had better visibility than the telescope in Li Laiheng's hand.
Further away, clearer.
Dorgon turned the telescope, and Fan Wencheng quickly led a team of guards to disperse the group of soldiers blocking the regent's view. What appeared in the frame was a large banner of the Shun Army. But it was obvious that the flag of the Shun Army was wavering.
, Dorgon did vaguely see some of the Ming army flags appearing at the end of the horizon.
He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he shouted out in a rare moment:
"Yes! Yes! The Ming army has arrived! Come on, all ministries must mobilize elite troops to prepare for counterattack. It's time for the white-armored soldiers to go into battle. Kill Li Laiheng!"
