The soldiers who had surrendered before were also incorporated into the god-grade battalions or the city defense forces.
To them, surviving was the most important thing.
Resisting, especially to the death, was without a doubt.
Guan Shou knew that these people could not be put in important positions, but as the city defense, the repair and transportation of armaments were still very effective.
Yu Bao also believed that rather than saying that these Shanxi defenders were soldiers, it would be better to let them farm or be craftsmen.
"It seems that our soldiers are needed to defend against the attack of the Qing and Mongol armies.”
"Lord Yu, are you worried?”Zhou Yuxiang asked.
"Haha, no, what I mean is that His Majesty is giving you and me a chance, a chance to annihilate the northern bandits and make a name for ourselves.”
Yu Bao recalled that less than a month ago, he was only a garrison general in Tong State.
But now, he was already a fake commander of tens of thousands of troops. How could the Emperor not be moved by his kindness and kindness?
Zhou Yuxiang was also interested in this military merit, but it was the most refreshing to be able to kill his enemy with his own hands.
As the two of them were discussing, Guan Shou sent someone to call the two of them to the main tent.
When they arrived at the tent, Guan Shou stroked his long beard with a smile.
"Lord Yu, look." As he spoke, Guan Shou handed over a military document.
Yu Bao took a look. It was written that the Mongolian and Qing cavalry had already passed Xuanzhou and were marching towards Datong.
"According to the intelligence we received from the scouts, the Northern Wei will arrive outside the city before dark today. What do you think, Lord Yu?”
"The northern bandits are cavalry and have come from afar. If they can't take Datong, they won't dare to advance south. I believe there will be a siege tomorrow.”
" Hehehe." Guan Shou let out his disdainful sneer again.
"I was afraid they wouldn't come. The three-wheeled cannon had killed nearly a hundred of the defenders on the city walls of Datong, and many of them were heavily injured.
His Majesty was right. The Hong Yi Cannon was indeed powerful.
"Yes, if we use the Hongyi Cannons to defend the city, it will only take a few rounds for the Northern Wei cavalry to be annihilated.”
"But…" Guan Shou suddenly hesitated and took out a letter.
"This was personally written by His Majesty and secretly sent by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. In the letter, we must capture Oboi alive.
Then, he secretly escorted her to the capital. Because of this, His Majesty delayed the southern expedition.
The letter said that His Majesty must see Oboi first before going south to quell the rebellion.”
Yu Bao's expression was serious. He completely understood the seriousness of this letter.
"General Guan, I know, but capturing the enemy leader Oboi alive and keeping it a secret is a bit difficult.”
"It's a serious matter. I'm also worried about it. This killing of enemies, I am one against ten thousand. Even if I capture the enemy generals, it is like taking something out of my pocket.
However, His Majesty wants me to secretly capture the enemy leader, so it's a little difficult.”
Yu Bao also fell into deep thought. How could he capture the enemy's general without being discovered by the enemy?
"Why does His Majesty insist on capturing Ao Bai alive? Wouldn't killing a general in front of the battle raise the morale of the three armies?”
Zhou Yuxiang complained.
Of course, Guan Shou also had some complaints. This royal brother was good in every way, but he thought too much and was too difficult to understand.
"Why don't we lure the enemy in?" Yu Bao said.
When I was in Tongzhou, I knew that the Qing army was attacking the city and they were all fighting to be the first.
And I heard that Ao Bai often acted as the vanguard, charging at the front of the siege team.”
Zhou Yuxiang slapped his thigh and said,""That's right! We can use this to let the Qing army attack the city.”
Guan Shou closed his eyes and thought carefully.
Guan Shou had also thought about Yu Bao's idea. Although it was feasible, there were two problems.
First, although Ao Bai was always the vanguard, he was still the commander. It was unlikely that he would be the first to lead the attack.
The second point was that this plan was too risky.
If the North Krupp attacks the city, it will inevitably increase casualties.
Yu Bao frowned and continued,"Although there is a little risk and some price to pay,
However, in order for His Majesty's plan to be implemented, we must do this!”
Then, Yu Bao told him his plan.
First, they used cannons to bombard the city walls, but the firing range was slightly longer. The aim was to allow the Northern Wei cavalry to quickly reach the city walls.
Then, he used the traditional Rolling Wood Thunder Rock to defend, trying to make it look as if the city was about to be broken through, and lure Ao Bai to attack the city.
Finally, after Ao Bai had ascended the city tower, he would attack from the side of the Northern Wei army and scatter them. At that time, he would take advantage of the chaos to capture Ao Bai alive so that he could avoid detection.
Guan Shou slowly opened his eyes and smiled."Fish in troubled waters." When Zhou Yuxiang heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, in Oboi's tent, he was entertaining his subordinates and Mongolian officers.
This attack on Xuanda was originally proposed by Dorgon. However, during the Chongzheng Hall meeting in Shengjing, Prince Su Hao Ge came out to obstruct them.
The reason why Haug stopped them was not because he didn't want to attack Xuan Da, but because he didn't want Dorgon to take credit for nothing.
Just as Fan Wencheng had said, Xuan University was empty and the people were unstable. It was the right time to send troops to harass them. Who wouldn't want to eat the fat meat that was right at their mouths?
Haug used Dorgon as the regent as an excuse, saying that the regent could not risk his life and that he could take the lead.
Dorgon didn't stand on ceremony. Since you didn't want me to go, you shouldn't go either. He said that Hauge had not recovered from the cold recently and needed to recuperate. It was not suitable for him to go out.
After an argument that seemed to care about each other but was actually scheming against each other, Oboi was recommended by Soni to be the commander of this expedition. In order to snatch the credit, Dorgon sent Dordor to follow him.
? In addition, Mongolia was the main force in this expedition.
Huang Taiji had incorporated the Mongol Empire into the Eight Banners Mongol Empire, but the various Mongol tribes had never been on good terms. Furthermore, the Mongol Khan Ezhe had just died not long ago, so there were too many uncertain factors in the various Mongol tribes. This time, Dorgon and Obois also had the intention of recruiting the Mongolians.
"Everyone, raise your wine glasses. We will definitely succeed in attacking Da Tong tomorrow!”Oboi raised his wine bowl and invited the generals to drink.
Ao Bai was also tall and sturdy, and he looked like a hero. There was a deep scar on his face.
Oboi picked up a large bowl and drank all the wine.
Tudor, who was sitting down, smiled and said,"Commander Oboi is indeed the number one warrior of the Qing Dynasty!" I'll accompany you with a bowl!"
Even though they were on different sides, they had gone through life and death together. Tudor still wanted to build a good relationship with Oboi.
The soldiers of Meng Baqi and Niu Lu who followed him had arrogant expressions on their faces as they drank their wine without even lifting their eyelids.
Oboi looked at them and asked,"Why, Mongol generals, don't you want to drink with me?"”
