Chapter 625 Dorgon is helpless, regretful, and fantasy

In Dengzhou City, it was dim, dead, and dying.

There is garbage everywhere, there is smelly everywhere, there are unknown insects everywhere, and there is a mess everywhere. The air is filled with suffocating smell, and even if the northwest wind blows continuously, it is difficult to completely dispel the odor.

Since Dengzhou City was surrounded by the Hu Ben Army, various odors have accumulated together and cannot be excreted. A large amount of garbage cannot be transported out of the city, so it has to accumulate in every corner of the city. Over time, it has become more and more odor. Later, due to the increase in deaths, a large number of bones were thrown into the garbage dump, and the odor became even more intense.

Some people say that Dengzhou City is near the sea, why don’t you throw garbage into the sea directly? Dorgon thought, but unfortunately the Hu Ben Army did not agree. The Hu Ben Army’s gunships have always been stationed near the dock. As long as someone comes out, they will immediately fire grape bombs, and they will beat them up. In this case, who dares to send garbage outside? It’s almost the same to send life outside. Even Kong Youde’s rebels firmly refused to perform such a mission to die.

The same is true in the South City. At the beginning, Dorgon ordered the rebels to dump garbage outside the city and not to stay in the city. Dorgon was worried that too much garbage in the city would cause a plague. However, the snipers of the Hu Ben cavalry were waiting outside the city, and whoever dumped the garbage out would shoot someone's cold gun. This was even the case in the middle of the night. As a result, every time the defenders took several lives to take out the garbage, they would no longer be willing to die.

Of course, near the Dengzhou Prefecture Office, the streets are relatively neat. No one likes to stay in the rat's nest, and so is Dorgon. Therefore, people often clean the streets next to the prefect's office. Before the New Year, Dorgon brought people to do it himself and cleaned several important streets. There was no way, the defenders had already fallen ill. If a plague broke out, more people would die.

The serious consequence of the siege is the lack of doctors and medicine, and the disease is growing. In addition to the serious lack of food, I can’t eat enough every day, so the body is of course not able to resist. The surrounding environment is poor, mosquitoes are growing, and patients are rampant. In addition to food, water sources are also a big problem. The groundwater source in Dengzhou City is polluted due to the severe accumulation of garbage. It would be strange if you eat contaminated groundwater every day and don’t get sick.

Dead people are often the most unlucky. Because there is no meat to eat, some people secretly target the dead. Dorgon could only ignore this and pretend not to know. Anyway, he would not eat meat if he was beaten to death. Duoduo said inadvertently that he had eaten a delicious piece of internal organ, but Dorgon vomited for several days and scolded Duoduo as a devil.

After a full meal, Dorgon recovered a little bit of his anger. As the Hu Ben Army was preparing to launch an attack, he had already ordered that the remaining food be distributed according to the previous double standards. As a result, during the Chinese New Year, the food of the defenders did not increase at all and was firmly controlled. However, with Zhang Zhun's arrival, the defenders finally had a full meal. It seemed that they were going to ask Zhang Zhun for blessings.

The consequence of doing this is obviously to bet. Dorgon's grain reserves were already very small, and it would last for about half a month at most. If the Hu Ben Army did not launch an attack, the defenders would have to rush out of the city and fight against the Hu Ben Army. Otherwise, they would have to be starved to death. He hoped that Zhang Zhun would not understand this, otherwise the Hu Ben Army would be able to wait for them to rush out and commit suicide.

There were constant noises of footsteps outside, which was the troops mobilizing. Considering the actual situation of the troops, Dorgon adopted a scattered resistance strategy. In layman's terms, they were fighting on their own. Because at this point, it was impossible to concentrate their troops to confront Zhang Zhun. Whether the hungry soldiers can continue to line up and whether they can maintain the integrity of the formation under the high pressure of the Hu Ben Army was completely unsure. Since they were not sure, they had to have to herd sheep.

Anyway, at this point, it is unrealistic to expect victory and survive. Unless they are willing to surrender with both hands. However, with the hatred between the Ming and the Jin Kingdom, even if they surrender, they still cannot escape the fate of being beheaded. The only thing they can do is to delay the time when the Hu Ben Army occupied Dengzhou City and increase the number of casualties to the Hu Ben Army.

From yesterday, Dorgon knew that the Hu Ben Army had come this time. There was an observation post report saying that he had seen Zhang Zhun appear with his own eyes. Zhang Zhun appeared in Dengzhou City, of course he would not have come to see it. He had seen it last time. Zhang Zhun came this time and obviously wanted to personally direct the siege. In other words, there was not much time left in Dengzhou City.

I was unwilling to give up, really unwilling to give up. Dorgon was not willing to give up anyway. He was really unwilling to give up his life, and ended in Dengzhou City. When he entered Dengzhou City, Dorgon was once in infinite glory, and even Huang Taiji had to publicly congratulate him, believing that Dorgon's wisdom, courage and courage were incomparable to other slave chiefs. At that moment, Dorgon was indeed intoxicated.

Entering the core hinterland of Ming by sea has always been Dorgon's dream and an important way for the Great Jin Dynasty to expand rapidly. He planned for this for a long time. As long as he did this, his military achievements would be much higher than those of Haoge and others, and he would get much more benefits than Haoge. He was closer to the Khanate of the Great Jin Dynasty.

However, just when he was about to create the most glorious life, he suddenly fell from heaven to hell. In the battle of Huangxian, Dorgon completely stunned. Such heavy losses had never been in the world of the Great Jin Dynasty. When he retreated, Dorgon's mind was completely blank. He even forgot that the crucial red cannons for him, and gave all these cannons to the Hu Ben Army in vain.

After he figured out what was going on, he had no chance to turn the tables. The relationship between Dengzhou City and Liaodong was completely cut off, and neither materials nor information were available. The two exits of Dengzhou City were also firmly sealed by the Hu Ben Army. In a short while, they were abandoned. In the following days, they had to wait slowly to die.

"Did we just fail like this?"

Duoduo's voice seemed to be echoing in Dorgon's ears.

Yesterday was the most painful day in Dengzhou City. The reason for the pain was that everyone present had to choose their own way of death. With Zhang Zhun's arrival, their lives finally came to an end. All the original fantasies and hopes were gone. Huang Taiji did lead his army south, but he did not rescue them in time before Zhang Zhun took action.

After Zhang Zhun arrived in Dengzhou City, Dorgon summoned all the officers of the Great Jin army, as well as the rebel Kong Youde and others, and barely held a military meeting to determine the plan for resistance. Idiots all know that when Zhang Zhun arrived outside Dengzhou City, it was obvious that the good ones did not come, and the people came were not good. Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, and it would be good that they could live until the eighth day of the Chinese New Year.

I believe that all the defenders in Dengzhou City still remember the firearms of the Hu Ben Army. The battle in Huang County left a deep shadow in their hearts. The gunpowder weapons of the Hu Ben Army were too powerful and could not be resisted by the flesh and blood of the defenders. Especially the explosive packs used by the Hu Ben Army later took the life of the Tartars. Countless Tartars had rushed to the bottom of the city wall, but they had no way to rush up to the top of the city.

It can be imagined that when the Hu Ben Army launched an attack, they would still use these explosive packs in large quantities. As long as they think of their companions who were blown up and bleeding from their seven orifices but without any scars on the outside, all the Tartars were shuddered. They didn't understand how their companions were killed. Their leather jackets, their armor, and even their bodies were intact, but people were indeed dead.

"We can't sit still and wait for death!"

"We are going to rush out and fight the Hu Ben Army to the death!"

"We can't die cowardly in the city! I'd rather die on the way to attack!"

Before the meeting began, Dodo couldn't wait to clamor. In the past, Dodo respected Dorgon very much and listened to Dorgon in everything. He never had his own opinions. Because Dorgon was smart and wise, knowledgeable about politics, know how to fight, have courage, have skills and strategy. Under Dorgon's command, he only had to be a good vanguard and rush and fight hard.

However, after being besieged for half a year, the light on Dorgon's body had completely receded. He had completely changed from a genius to a fool. Some people even complained behind his back that it was because Dorgon's strong initiative to enter Shandong by sea that today's failure and this tragedy today. Therefore, Dorgon's image plummeted, and even Duoduo was unwilling to regard him as his brother. The wall fell and everyone pushed it, and it was the same in ancient and modern times.

Duoduo's opinion is very representative, that is, everyone should not defend the city and go out to fight the Hu Ben Army to the death. Even if they are beaten to death, they will be beaten to death. Don't stay in the city like a rat, and be dug out and executed by the Hu Ben Army one by one. The smell of hunger is so uncomfortable that they will simply die.

However, Dorgon rejected such an opinion. Dorgon firmly opposed going out of the city. He insisted that rushing out to fight the Hu Ben Army with the current state of the defenders was purely suicide. When the troops were strong, they could not rush in front of the Hu Ben Army, let alone being exhausted now? Not to mention anything else, the running speed alone was twice as slow as before. Before he could run to the Hu Ben Army, he was overturned by the guns and cannons of the Hu Ben Army.

"Stay in the city and take the time to assassinate the enemy."

"If you can kill one, you will earn one."

"We are not fighting for ourselves, we are thinking about the Great Jin Kingdom."

Dorgon's tone of speaking was somewhat similar to Zhang Zhun. His opinion was that all the defenders were huddled in buildings of all sizes and sizes in the city, playing hide-and-seek with the Hu Ben Army, looking for opportunities to plot against the Hu Ben Army. With the help of the cover of complex terrain, even if all the defenders were killed, the Hu Ben Army had to pay a certain price. Relatively speaking, this kind of fighting method is much more effective than charging and suicide.

Yes, the suicide of the charge was indeed easy to die, but it was useless. The Great Jin Kingdom no longer needed them to adopt such a heroic way to bury their lives. What the Great Jin Kingdom needed was that they adopted effective methods to weaken the power of the Hu Ben Army. I believe that what the Hu Ben Army hoped most was the defenders rushing out to commit suicide and then occupy Dengzhou City without any effort. Dorgon could not let the Hu Ben Army get what they wanted. He wanted to use his life to exchange for the life of the Hu Ben Army.

Dorgon believed that relying on the complex terrain in the city, as long as the Jin army operated properly, it was still possible to kill about a thousand Hu Ben Army. Such a number of people does seem to be a little less. The number of people killed by the Tartars in each battle was tens of thousands, and one thousand was indeed unable to make a move. However, this was Dorgon's most optimistic estimate. It was a fool to kill more Hu Ben Army.

In fact, even Dorgon himself felt that it was an indescribable sadness to want the Great Jin army to compete with the Hu Ben army. Population has always been the weakest of the Great Jin Kingdom and the most powerful advantage of the Ming Kingdom. Now, the Great Jin Kingdom wants to use such weak points to fight against the strongest advantage of the Ming Kingdom, which makes it awkward no matter how you look at it. If it weren't for the desperate situation, Dorgon would not have made such a bad move.

To take a step back, what is the use of more than 2,000 Great Jin army warriors even if they can defeat 20,000 or even 200,000 Tiger Army? If the Han people die 200,000, they will be able to replenish 200,000 immediately. The population of the Han people is endless. Since the Battle of Sarhu, the Great Jin army has defeated countless Ming troops, but the number of Ming troops is still more than hundreds of thousands.

"Seven Hate..."

Dorgon suddenly felt his mouth was very bitter.

He began to hate his father Khan's seven hatreds. It was after Nurhaci announced the seven hatreds that the Great Jin Kingdom was launching an army to fight against the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Great Jin Kingdom must have not clearly realized how powerful his opponent was. The successive victory made the Great Jin Kingdom believe that the Ming Kingdom was weak and could be bullied, and he could control whatever he wanted. The later facts seemed to prove this.

Now, Dorgon finally felt that the Ming Dynasty was obviously an extremely huge lion. The Great Jin Dynasty was at most an arrow pig. Even if it was full of thorns, it was not even qualified to beg for mercy in front of the lion. In the past, the lion in Ming Dynasty was slept and was attacked by a small arrow pig. Now, when the lion woke up, the arrow pig could only be abused.

All are fate!

Dorgon sighed and slowly walked out of the prefect's office.

The sun is very bright today, and he wants to have a good sunshine. Perhaps, he doesn't have many days to have a sunshine. Dorgon has made up his mind that he will not let himself live in the hands of the Hu Ben Army, and he can't afford to lose his face.

"Dodo."

Dorgon suddenly shouted.

Duoduo, who was fully armed, was passing by him.

The attack of the Hu Ben Army was about to be launched, and Duoduo had to be the front line commander himself. In other words, the first one to be killed in battle was definitely Dodo, and then Dorgon. Dodo was killed in battle, and he was killed in battle, and the only three brothers was Ajige. At this time, Dorgon didn't know Ajige's defeat. He was very worried that after both him and Dodo were killed in battle, whether Ajige would have the ability to maintain power under the high pressure of Huang Taiji.

A faint blush of excitement appeared on his sickly cheeks.

However, after Dorgon's words were passed down, they did not cause much response. Obviously, most of the defenders were already numb. Whether Ajige's coming or not was of little significance to them. Because everyone knew that it was not easy for Ajige to break Qingzhou City. Especially the top leaders of the Tartars knew that this was just a beautiful prospect of self-deception depicted by Dorgon.

Thinking back to the beginning, Dorgon concentrated most of the elites of the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner, but he tried his best to break the defense line of the Hu Ben Army in Huang County. The strength of the Zhenghong Banner is obviously worse than that of the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner. With Huang Taiji's personality, it is impossible to strengthen the strength of the Zhenghong Banner. Therefore, relying solely on the Zhenghong Banner led by Ajige, it is not impossible to break the defense line of the Hu Ben Army in Qingzhou City, but it is just very difficult.

"Beller, the Hu Ben Army is ready to launch an attack."

At this moment, someone hurried to report the money.

"Everyone is here, let's fight!"

Dorgon said excitedly.

In the past, such a simple sentence brought full confidence. The power of language does not lie in the language itself, but in the strength behind the speaker. Just like Temujin, who was rampant in the world, responded only in six simple words in the face of the enemy's provocation: If you want to fight, you will fight. What a heroic spirit is that? Dorgon pursued this kind of language art.

In the past, Dorgon did almost do it. He only needed a light sentence to do things very well. His majesty in the Great Jin Kingdom was comparable to only two people, one was Huang Taiji and the other was Daishan. Apart from that, there was no one else. But now, this sentence sounded completely without the feeling of heroism, but instead seemed to be helplessly dying - all of them have come to this point, let everyone rest their destiny.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the Tartars left silently. Among the people who left here, there was another Han man, that is, Kong Youde. When Kong Youde heard Dorgon say this, he felt completely uncomfortable and even felt like he wanted to commit suicide and hit the wall. At that time, for fame and fortune, he did not hesitate to surrender to the Great Jin Kingdom, thinking that he could rise to the top and be prosperous from now on. Unexpectedly, he would suffer such a terrible failure here.

If there is a chance to make a new choice, Kong Youde believes that he will never choose to surrender to the Tartars. But, does he still have a way back now? No! Thinking of everything he did, Kong Youde believes that no one will let him go. Since he is dead, he can only sacrifice his life and fight against the Hu Ben Army.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

At noon, a violent cannon sound came, shocking the entire Dengzhou City.
