Chapter 1084 Dorgon's Wrath (5/18)

In the end, Di Chen decided to give it a go.

But as soon as Abatai entered the city, he gave Dichen a slap in the face, pointed at Dichen's nose and scolded: "You bastard slave, seeing our army being frustrated at the front, why didn't you come to reinforce it?"

Abatay's words were of course extremely unreasonable.

It was an order issued by Duoduo himself to order the Dichen Department to guard Yangzhou. The battle of Jianye happened at night again, and Yangzhou was hundreds of miles away from Jianye, so even if Di Chen wanted to rescue him, it would be too late.

Abatai completely vented his defeat's uselessness on Di Chen.

Dichen also had a temper. To Doduo, Di Chen was still polite, but when facing Abate, he didn't look good, and said in a deep voice, "Keep your mouth clean."

"What a slave, how dare you talk back?!" Abate followed suit.

If Di Chen had swallowed his anger, Abate might have exposed it, and it would have been fine if he vented. But Di Chen's attitude completely angered Abate.

Since the Qing army entered the pass, no Han Chinese dared to speak to them like this.

Abatai subconsciously said: "Come here, drag this dog slave down and give him thirty lashes!"

"promise!"

Abatai's personal soldiers are about to step forward to arrest Dichen.

"Who dares?!"

Lian Po, who was standing behind Di Chen, let out an angry roar, and with a "swipe", immediately rushed in a team of Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army. In a blink of an eye, Abate and his soldiers were surrounded.

The two sides immediately rattled.

When Abatai saw it, his face changed, and he remembered that there was a 100,000 alien army stationed in Yangzhou City. On the other hand, in the Qing army, there were only 50,000 remnants left.

If there is a real fight, the Qing army may be completely defeated.

But if it was nothing like this, Abatai felt a little embarrassing, he was in a dilemma for a while, and his face turned red. Compared with Duo Duo, Abate is still too young and too impulsive.

From the beginning to the end, Di Chen remained expressionless and extremely calm.

Seeing Abatai's embarrassing expression, Di Chen said: "You have to remember, I am here to cooperate with your army, not your slave. As long as I think, none of you can leave Yangzhou City today."

"What do you want?" Abate was still stubborn.

Di Chen shook his head amusedly, "It's not what I think, but what the enemy thinks. Seeing that the Ming army is about to attack, what's the point of us still fighting among ourselves? I'm not afraid of being laughed at by others."

Seeing this, Abate quickly walked down the steps and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Withdraw!"

Di Chen said succinctly, "Yangzhou City can't be defended any longer, so we have to report to the Prince Regent for any decision."

"it is good!"

Abatai nodded in response, but the resentment in his heart did not really dissipate.

After the coordination, the Dichen Department and the Abatai Department did not stop at all, and withdrew from Yangzhou in desperation. It's no wonder Dichen was anxious, once Guo Ziyi's men blocked their way to the north, they would be unable to leave even if they wanted to.

…………

As the Qing army withdrew from Yangzhou City, the entire battle ushered in the second stage.

Li Jing was steady. After leading his troops into Yangzhou City, he did not rush northward. Instead, he cooperated with Guo Ziyi's troops to completely flatten the Jianghuai River Basin, regain lost ground, and defend Jianye's safety.

Only by taking down Jianghuai, the Ming army had the capital and foundation to start a full-scale war with the Qing army.

On the thirteenth day of the battle, Emperor Daxi Zhang Xianzhong finally gave his letter when he learned that the Nanming Army had not only regained Yangzhou City, but also flattened the Jianghuai area and annihilated the main force of the Qing Army.

The two parties agreed: "After three days, we will officially march northward."

…………

Yanjing.

The defeat of the Duo Duo Department gave Duo ErGun a blow in the face.

Different from history, in the battle map, after the Dashun was wiped out, apart from the 100,000 troops of the Duduo tribe and the 50,000 troops of the Abate tribe, the Qing Dynasty still had a full 400,000 troops stationed in the entire northern border.

The composition of the Qing army is relatively complicated.

The most elite is the Eight Banners Army, which can be divided into Man Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners, and Han Eight Banners. The Manchu Eight Banners are dominated by Manchu cavalry, probably around 50,000. The Mongolian Eight Banners are Mongolian cavalry, and there are also about 50,000 people.

As for the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, including Wu Sangui's army and the former Ming army who subsequently surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, there were probably about 150,000 people.

The last part is the Qing army sweeping the north, capturing the puppet army and prisoners of war, including the Dashun army.

Except for the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners, the remaining 300,000 troops had their own hidden dangers, so Dorgon did not arrange for this army to go south, but stayed in the north for reorganization.

Right now, I can't manage so much.

Dorgon still saw it very clearly. He knew very well that the Qing army, with less than 150,000 elites, controlled the entire situation, and it was really like walking on thin ice.

The war is going well, so everything is easy to say, and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty will only become more and more stable.

But once the battle goes wrong, let the enemy see the weakness of the Qing army, and if one goes wrong, it will trigger a chain reaction and ruin the entire Qing Dynasty.

The demise of the Duoduo tribe is likely to be such a fuse.

Geinduo's tribe was the absolute main force of the Qing army, and 50,000 of the 100,000 troops were full of Eight Banners cavalry.

It was such an elite division, but it was beaten to death outside Jianye City, and was defeated by the Nanming alien army, which completely exposed the weakness of the Qing army.

Compared with the 100,000 troops killed in battle, this is the deadliest.

"It's hard!"

Dorgon was at a loss for a moment.

At first, Dorgon was worried that Di Chen's troops would leave the Qing Dynasty first, which would be fatal.

The strength of the Alien Legion has been fully confirmed in the battle of Jianye, and at this time, the 100,000 troops under Di Chen's command are even more precious.

Fortunately, Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief with the news that followed.

The Dichen Department did not give up on the Qing Dynasty, and even with great tolerance, after being humiliated by Abatai, they still made a rational judgment, resolutely gave up Yangzhou City, and led their troops northward.

After receiving the news, Dorgon specially requested to praise the Dichen Department and give him a commendation.

Stern reprimands were indispensable for Abate, and Dorgon was very furious, "Abate, an idiot, almost missed a major event. How could it be Duoduo who died that night, not this idiot!"

Dorgon is already preparing to seize Abatai's military power, which can be regarded as a comfort to Di Chen.

That's what it's good to do with smart people.

Dichen's "good intentions" finally paid off. Taking advantage of Dorgon's favor, Dichen made a small request, asking for a personal token and a letter from Emperor Shunzhi.

With these two things, when the battle is over, no matter which emperor of the Qing Dynasty settles in the capital, he will owe Dichen a huge favor.

That way, some things work better.

At this point, no matter what the final outcome of this battle is, Dichen has already achieved his goal. This also means that before the decisive battle begins, he is already invincible.

This kind of forbearance and calculation is indeed admirable.
