I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Prince Regent, it's not good to rush down like this. Let the troops withdraw and blast the city wall with artillery first."

One of the subordinates persuaded to say that rushing directly in this way is equivalent to sending death.

"Unfortunately, we don't have enough shells."

Another general reminded.

"Then dig tunnels and bury explosives to blow up the wall. In short, it's definitely not acceptable to charge directly. Everyone knows the enemy's situation, and there is no shortage of ammunition."

"It's not that easy to dig tunnels."

There was a heated debate among the people, and no consensus could be reached.

In the end, it was Dorgon who made the final call and continued to attack.

As for the ideas from his subordinates, he did not adopt them.

Of course, this is not because he is stubborn, but because the advice of his subordinates has various limitations.

There are not enough shells to bomb the city walls, it takes too long to dig tunnels, and night raids are too difficult. All in all, some flawed advice.

The gap in weapons and equipment allows them to choose from very few tactics.

In desperation, Dorgon could only hope for some miracle to be able to drag down the Hua army with continuous attacks.

After all, the number of Chinese troops is limited. After being divided into four walls, there is not even a rotating reserve team.

Soldiers who stay on the city wall for a long time are actually very easy to get tired physically and mentally.

And they rely on many people, can take turns to attack, consume the energy of Hua Jun.

Of course, their attack was at the cost of consuming the lives of the soldiers, which was even worse than the Hua Army.

Now the comparison is which side can't hold on first, and will have the last laugh at the end.

The first one that couldn't hold on was the Shuo Sai Department in the east. They attacked for two rounds, and they didn't even climb the city wall once.

Every time he approached the city wall at a huge price, he was blown back by Hua Jun's grenade.

This thing is really a great weapon for defending the city.

After the third attack order was issued, the soldiers and generals below refused to carry out Shuo Sai's order.

"Prince Heshuo, we can't go on fighting like this anymore. The brothers can't bear it. After only two attacks, the brothers were killed and injured by 30%. The men who hit our flag again will be killed."

The subordinate advised.

"However, if we don't continue to fight, it's not just our flag that will be lost, the entire eight flags will be lost."

Shuo Sai sighed, the situation was pressing, and he knew it would not work, but he had to try it.

"But the key is that we can't take it down. If we all die, we can take down this city and we will fight. But the current situation is that even if we die, we may not be able to attack.

Instead, it is better to retreat directly outside the customs and keep the last trace of fire. As for the people in the city of Beijing, let them retreat separately from the path. How much can be withdrawn is counted. "

The subordinate proposed a timely way to stop the loss, and he has given up the illusion of being able to withdraw all the clansmen.

He can't say that this kind of thinking is wrong.

However, the regent is not him, so his idea can only be an idea in the end.

Shuo Sai also wanted to arrange to continue the attack, contain the soldiers of the Chinese army, and share the pressure on Dorgon.

However, the soldiers below were close to losing control, and he had no choice but to suspend the attack first.

In the other two directions, the situation is similar.

Without advanced weapons, they really can't take this small county town.

The rest of Dorgon kept attacking in the west for a whole day, and then Xianghe County remained motionless.

Although the soldiers of the Chinese army were indeed exhausted and half-dead under the turns of the attack.

However, the Qing army on the attacking side was even worse.

During this day's attack, the Qing army had killed more than 13,000 people and injured nearly 10,000.

It can be said that their army has been crippled and destroyed.

In the evening, Dorgon decisively decided not to fight, it was really impossible to fight.

"Next, I need a general who voluntarily stays behind to defend and contain the enemy and cover the retreat of our tribe."

Dorgon said.

When everyone heard this, they were silent for a while.

After being left behind, this difference is so bad that it is almost equivalent to death.

In the past, they could arrange the green camp of the Han people to do this work, but now they can't trust the Han people at all.

Looking around for a week, no one responded, and Dorgon was angry.

"Prince Shuosai, this task will be handed over to you. I will allocate the only batch of flintlock troops to you. Please be sure to hold back the enemy."

Dorgon directly named him and chose the unlucky Shuosai.

Shuo Sai was also very helpless about this, so he could only take over this task.

The Qing army left 10,000 people outside Xianghe County to confuse and keep an eye on the Hua army.

None of their tents have been dismantled, creating an illusion.

Dorgon and others, on the other hand, returned to Beijing overnight, and then arranged a plan to retreat across the board.

He divided hundreds of thousands of people who needed to retreat into several groups, and retreated from Shanhaiguan, Chengde, Yanqing and other directions at the same time.

He has stopped thinking about whether the road is difficult or not, nor how many people will die on the road and how many people will be left behind.

In short, as much as you can go back.

There is no problem with Dorgon's arrangement. The problem is that he arranged for Emperor Shunzhi to take the route of Shanhaiguan.

Now Hua Jun is still

In Xianghe County, this route is the most dangerous.

However, he just arranged it this way.

In the face of Xiaozhuang's questioning, Dorgon argued: "Only this route is the best way to go. Other routes have to go over mountains and mountains. You and Your Majesty's body will definitely not be able to hold up."

"How can it be unbearable, don't forget that I also grew up on horseback before, and Fulin is already ten years old, so he is not so delicate."

Xiaozhuang retorted.

"Don't worry, a small number of Chinese troops are now trapped in Xianghe County by us, and they can't get out."

Dorgon continued to insist.

Some other important officials watched them arguing, but they remained silent, as if it was none of their business.

If possible, they don't actually want to follow Dorgon and others on the road, just stay in Beijing and wait for Dahua's troops to come and surrender.

For them, it is nothing more than a change of allegiance, and then the starting point of being an official will be lower.

Although there will be a sense of frustration with diminished power, it is better than following Dorgon to the world.

However, this is not up to them.

Dorgon also knows that a regime cannot use force alone, and these civil servants are also required to be responsible for governance.

Therefore, he always forced these Han ministers to follow him on the road, and if he didn't want to, he just stabbed them.

I would rather kill it than leave it to Dahua.

For this sake, Dorgon has become crazy and can do anything.

Before he left, he ordered the city of Beijing to be set on fire.

Anyway, he also knew in his heart that he had little hope of calling in again in the future. It is not bad to be able to gain a firm foothold outside the customs and keep one-third of an acre of land outside the customs.

In this level, try to do some damage and leave Dahua a mess.

However, Beijing is a thousand-year-old ancient city, and the impact of burning is too bad. So that those civil servants who were afraid of death were strongly against it when they heard that the city was going to be burned.

As for the lower-level generals who received specific orders, they were also unable to do so.

In the face of everyone's opposition, Dorgon was busy fleeing again, and he didn't care about destroying it, which allowed Beijing to escape.
