Chapter 105: Retreat sadly
The sky was a little gloomy, which looked like the old slave’s current mood.
Whenever I see the majestic city in the distance, the old slave feels a tingling pain in his heart.
The attack on Guangning was tried, the attack on Youtun Guard, and the attack on Guangning City was fierce. The Later Jin army had more than 3,400 dead and more than 7,000 injured, which totaled more than 10,000.
This is just the current statistics, because the more than 7,000 wounded people would die at least one or two thousand with their treatment level at that time.
This was the biggest loss of the old slave since the rebellion, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Although from the perspective of the entire war, the Ming army suffered tens of thousands of casualties after the defeat of Guangshaling, and the losses of the battle to defend the city would not be small, the outcome of the war was not calculated in this way.
In Lao Nu's opinion, not plundering gold, silver, treasures, food and supplies means not achieving the goal of going to war, and it also means failure of the war.
Although I was very unwilling to give up, the old slave knew that he was going to withdraw his troops.
First of all, the food and grass carried by the army was almost exhausted. I was already thinking of moving home with big and small vehicles, so I naturally didn’t bring too much food;
Secondly, the rear sent emergency reports that Jinzhou had been lost. After a fake shot on the sea surface of Fuzhou, the Ming army suddenly sailed northward and landed on Lianyun Island, trying to siege Gaizhou;
The Gaizhou defenders had already drawn some of them and went to Fuzhou to concentrate, trying to lift the siege of Jinzhou. The city had less than a thousand soldiers, and they might not be able to hold on for a day under the siege of tens of thousands of Ming troops.
If Gaizhou is lost, Fuzhou will be isolated again. The Ming army went south to be besieged, and Fuzhou faces the same ending as Jinzhou.
The four guards in southern Liaoning have lost the second one and will soon lose the third one. How can the old slave continue to stay under Guangning City with peace of mind?
The last point is that after the fierce attack on Guangning City, the Later Jin army, including Lao Nu, felt fear of siege.
In the past few days, while resting and adjusting, the Later Jin army has built equipment again, which seems to be about to attack the city. However, the depression and worries that permeate the Later Jin officers and soldiers can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
According to the analysis and discussion of Lao Nu and his subordinates, it is believed that there should be at least 10,000 to 20,000 defenders in the city. In addition, the enlisted strong people would be able to gather 30,000 to 50,000, which is very likely.
Moreover, after offensive and defensive operations, the morale of the defenders in the city should have been greatly boosted and their combat experience increased greatly. They were not as panic as they were when they just shrank into the city and faced a great enemy.
After analysis in this way, if the Later Jin army wants to capture the city, at least tens of thousands of people will be killed or killed before it can break the city.
After reaching this conclusion, several major Baylors and generals almost lost their determination to attack the city. The old slave did not say anything, but completely lost his fighting spirit in his heart.
Because such casualties are definitely unbearable by the Later Jin army, and they do not have this capital yet.
Amin's troops were recalled from Youtunwei and rushed to Gaizhou overnight, which means that the old slave finally retreated his troops in disgrace.
"Father Khan, all the wounded have been loaded and set off, and our army is ready to go." Da Beile Daishan walked into the tent and reported respectfully.
The old slave waved his hand and was still sitting there in a daze.
Dai Shan had no choice but to bow and retreat.
It was not long since time was gone, Huang Taiji walked in, didn't speak, and sat quietly below.
After a while, the old man shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out! Why is the Ming army's actions so fast? It's like predicting our army's actions and making arrangements in advance."
Huang Taiji pondered for a moment and said, "The child also had this doubt. According to the plan and estimate before the war, the Ming army's actions were at least more than ten days faster, which was unexpected."
The old slave frowned and said, "The most important thing is the speed of the Ming court's reaction. It takes at least three or four days to make a conclusion, right?"
The Jiannu knew very well about the efficiency of the Ming court and the party struggles that were shirking responsibility in the court.
Don’t think that Jiannu is really a group of savages. They plan very carefully and are very good at using spies. You can quickly learn about the news from the capital.
Therefore, the result of this battle in Guangning made the old slave confused, and Huang Taiji also thought it was unexpected.
If we calculate in reverse direction, the remnants of the Dongjiang army of Tianjin, Dengzhen, and Maodaozhu will start to take action at least after the defeat of Shaling, so that the current situation will be achieved.
Judging from the speed of information transmission at that time, this is impossible. Unless it is arranged in advance and the prediction of the battle situation is surprisingly accurate.
It is also shocking to analyze Guangning's reaction speed.
It was as if we knew in advance that Xiping Fort would fall and reinforcements would be defeated, so that we could abandon the fortress and move all the people so resolutely, concentrate our troops to shrink Guangning City and Youtun Aicheng.
What about gods? I can calculate to this level if I can judge them. Is that the name?
But since the prediction can be so accurate, Xipingbao surrounded the points and attacked the aid and defeated Shaling in the field, isn’t it possible to prevent and resolve it in advance?
There are also a large number of artillery that were produced in Guangning City and Youtun Aicheng. The sudden increase in combat power of the defenders is all full of strangeness, which is puzzling.
Can't figure it out, can't figure it out!
The old slave shook his head hard again, feeling his head swelling and still had no clue.
"Father Khan." Huang Taiji stood up and bowed and said, "Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs, so there is no need to worry about it. I think that there must be changes on the Ming people that we don't know. After spying in detail, it will be not difficult to find a countermeasure and fight again to win."
The old slave looked up at his eighth son, and after a while, he nodded vigorously, stood up suddenly and said loudly: "I think that hundreds of thousands of Ming army came to attack, so I am not afraid of it. Today's small setbacks, how can I lose my will?"
From the thirteenth deputy armored soldiers, Fushun, Anshan, Sarhu, Liaoyang, Shenyang...
The old slave did not lose. Even if Guangning City was not captured, the casualties between the two sides in the entire Battle of Guangning was still the advantage of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Of course, if the strategic goal is not achieved, it will definitely be unwilling to accept it. But the situation is here, what's the use of being entangled?
Learn from experience and lessons, fight again with your strength; regroup and make a comeback.
The days ahead are still long, and the Ming people will always have such good luck? The old slave calmed down, put on his sword, and took out the big tent with his tent with great confidence.
If you lose others, you will not be depressed. Who will show you the shameful and embarrassed look?
The horns were sobbing and the golden drums were ringing. The Later Jin army packed up the tents and retreated in an orderly manner, without any embarrassment in retreat.
