Chapter 688 Conserving Energy and Building Strength, Waiting for the Enemy to Tire, and Fighting wit
"If we can't catch it..."
If we fail to seize this opportunity and grasp this crucial moment, the consequences are self-evident.
Fu Heng felt he didn't need to say anything more.
Unfortunately, he didn't say it, so Qianlong would just imagine it himself.
“How could someone as intelligent as Prince Zhong, whose military leadership skills are nothing short of divine, not see through such a clumsy tactic?”
"What a joke!"
"I believe that he did not choose to launch a full-scale attack because he must have already thought of a better and less costly approach!"
"Just wait and see, the soldiers of my Great Qing are the most valiant, and they will shatter all your doubts!"
Emperor Qianlong remained standing to the side, his face full of disdain.
Fu Heng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but close his eyes, trying to avoid seeing it.
He really couldn't understand why His Majesty, who clearly didn't understand military affairs, always liked to refute other people's opinions on this topic.
In his opinion, what those people on the sky were saying was correct.
If Dorgon hadn't made that decisive decision, and instead had instead leisurely set up camp, his chances of winning would have been very slim.
"Fuheng, what are you nodding about? Tell me, is what I said right or wrong?"
Seeing Fuheng nodding silently to the side without uttering a single word of agreement, Qianlong questioned him with some dissatisfaction.
"Yes, Your Majesty is right. Our Qing soldiers are incredibly brave and capable of taking on ten men each, let alone the eight thousand troops in Guanzhong!"
"As long as Prince Zhong can perform steadily and avoid making too many wrong judgments, we will surely be able to easily break through this important pass!"
Faced with Qianlong's piercing gaze, Fuheng could only nod reluctantly.
Of all the words Emperor Qianlong spoke, there was only one that he agreed with.
That is, the difficulty of breaching a border stronghold from the inside out is much simpler than that of the area outside the pass.
If the Qing army were outside the pass, while these 8,000 soldiers were inside, then let alone a few days, as long as there was food in the city, they could easily hold out until the Qing army questioned their existence!
The only condition that would benefit Dorgon was to attack from inside the pass to outside it, and it was also the only possibility for him to break through Shanhaiguan Pass in a short period of time!
"That's just how it is. How can the warriors of our Great Qing compare to these two-legged sheep? No matter how elite the two-legged sheep are, they are nothing but beasts!"
"As animals, they should obediently be slaughtered; resistance is ultimately futile!"
"Fuheng, I am very satisfied with your answer. Once this challenge is over, as long as Prince Zhong is the winner, I will reward you handsomely."
Emperor Qianlong was completely satisfied.
But just as he was making empty promises, he noticed that Fu Heng's face had visibly lost its color and turned extremely pale.
Dorgon did not deploy his 80,000 troops to launch a general offensive simultaneously.
In an effort to boost the morale of his troops, he even opted to establish separate camps and send out the few remaining elite veterans he had.
This is a truly taboo act!
It is clear from this challenge that both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were adept at raiding.
Dorgon chose to divide his troops and set up camps, even giving away his few remaining elite veterans to appease them and try to help them regain some morale.
However, this move is putting the cart before the horse.
Once we break through the border, there will be plenty of time to reassure the remaining soldiers.
What good is appeasement if they can't break through the border?
Once Xiang Yu arrives with his troops and Han Xin's forces have completely encircled him, giving him no chance to escape, any attempts to appease him will be in vain!
Unfortunately, he was a discerning person; he could see the flaws, but he dared not speak out.
After all, Emperor Qianlong, who was by his side, was praising it highly.
“Not bad, not bad. Prince Zhong is capable. He even knows that the morale of the gentry needs to be boosted before attacking the city.”
"There's an old saying in the Central Plains: 'Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood.' If we can boost morale this time, whatever he wants to do next will be a piece of cake!"
"Let's show these despicable emperors of the Central Plains just how powerful the warriors of our Great Qing are!"
They praised it while clapping and cheering.
Emperor Qianlong's excited expression spread throughout history for thousands of years.
Countless people: "..."
Anyone who could understand the situation would be speechless at his reaction.
After studying military texts for so many years, they finally concluded that if they were so concerned about sacrifices, it would be impossible to break through this important pass within at least half a month, if not forever.
Liu Bang only had this short period of time to hold on to.
However, Dorgon was in no hurry to launch an offensive.
He was also leisurely boosting the morale of his army and organizing the remaining supplies and provisions in the camp.
The supply depot was burned, and most of the tents had been attacked during the previous encampment, resulting in significant losses of food and provisions.
However, he managed to salvage a considerable amount of supplies from the supply depot, and the fires that had ignited the grain and fodder inside the various tents were quickly extinguished.
The amount of food they have left is neither a lot nor a little, but it's enough to feed their 80,000 people for more than ten days.
"Your Highness, we must attack the city immediately! If we delay any longer, we will run out of supplies and our army will collapse without a fight!"
Some insightful people in the army couldn't help but offer their advice.
Two days had passed since Dorgon set up camp outside this important coastal town, but instead of showing any sign of urgency, he continued to make preparations for the siege at a leisurely pace.
Not only the deputy general was anxious, but many people who could understand the situation were also anxious.
However, Dorgon simply shook his head slightly in response to their urging.
"Not urgent."
Not urgent?
The lieutenants were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
"Your Highness, we must be anxious! The enemy's encirclement is tightening every day. At this rate, in five days at most, our army will completely lose its way out."
"At that time, if we fail to capture the strategically important towns and are surrounded by pursuing troops, our soldiers may completely collapse at any moment!"
In such a situation, if morale collapses and the camp is destroyed, the result will be the annihilation of the entire army, and no one will be able to escape!
"Five more days at most?"
"Then let's wait another four days."
"During these four days, tell the cooks not to be stingy. The soldiers should eat three meals a day, and each meal should include some meat and coarse salt."
"And during these four days, there is no need for training; let them relax."
"Come and call me again in four days."
Dorgon seemed not to understand what his lieutenants were saying.
In five days at most, the ambush troops behind them would completely surround them, and he would have to wait four days.
These lieutenants didn't know what he was waiting for, but intimidated by his power, they could only obediently nod, even if they were unwilling.
"As ordered."
As they went to relay the orders, Dorgon slowly rose and looked towards the important border town ahead.
"Conserve your energy and wait for the opportune moment to fight a desperate battle."
"The military strategies of the Central Plains can also be used by me!"
