Three consecutive attacks failed to capture Zhenbeiguan, which made Dorgon a little angry. In his opinion, the strength of Denglai's new army was only supported by firearms, and the quality of the sergeants was not very high.

The bravery of the Eight Banners Army is the real strength, which is trained by fighting and fighting on horseback for a long time.

The reality dealt a heavy blow to Dorgon. Back then, he led a large army into the Pass to attack the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he also encountered an attack by the Denglai New Army. The Eight Banners Army was defeated. However, at that time, the Eight Banners Army fought deep inside the Daming Pass.

, there is no backup, and the attacks of the Denglai New Army mostly adopt the method of sneak attacks, so from the bottom of his heart, Dorgon does not think how powerful and invincible the Denglai New Army is. If the Eight Banners Army sergeant and the Denglai New Army

If the soldiers fight face to face, they will definitely win.

In the Battle of Liaodong, the Eight Banners Army suffered a disastrous defeat. The army of more than 100,000 people was almost annihilated. The regent and Prince Zhuang, Jierhalang, died. This reminded Dorgon to a certain extent. He carefully analyzed the before and after process of the Battle of Liaoyang.

It is believed that the victory of Denglai's new army was based on strategy, especially in the final battle of Liaoyang City. Denglai's new army easily entered the city without losing any blood. Therefore, to a certain extent, although Denglai's new army was powerful, it still relied more on

Strategy.

So when he sent Duduo to Tieling, Dorgon believed that he would be able to lead the Eight Banners Army soldiers to capture Zhenbeiguan.

Duduo and Azig jointly commanded the battle, but failed to capture Zhenbeiguan. After the army led by Dorgon arrived at Tieling, they tried their best to launch three consecutive attacks on Zhenbeiguan, but also failed to capture it.

At this time, Dorgon realized the strength of Denglai's new army and was surrounded by strong feelings of uneasiness.

When the news of the fall of Shenyang and the death of Prince Li Daishan came, Dorgon was planning another attack in the temporary new camp. Dorgon knew very well that the only hope of the Qing Dynasty was to capture Zhenbeiguan and head north

Evacuate and return to your hometown. Relying on your familiarity with the terrain, you will continue to deal with Denglai's new army on the one hand, and on the other hand, you will strengthen your own strength. When the time is right, move south to restore the glory of the Qing Dynasty.

Looking at the scout kneeling on the ground, Dorgon's face turned pale.

"Whether the news is true or not, if there is a lie, I will kill your entire family..."

The scout knelt on the ground, his body trembling and he did not dare to raise his head.

"Report, report to the regent, the information from my subordinates is accurate..."

Before the scout could finish speaking, Duduo stood up suddenly and yelled at the palace guards on both sides.

"You are deceiving the public with your evil words. If someone comes, pull them down and behead them..."

Dorgon's impulsiveness made Dorgon sober up, and he waved to the palace guards who came forward.

"Forget it, you continue to investigate. If you have any news about Shenyang, please report it at any time. Remember, the news just mentioned must not be leaked, otherwise you will know the result..."

The trembling scout was carried out of the wing by the palace guards.

The room fell into a deathly silence. Dorgon did not speak, nor did Duduo and Azig. They knew very well what the fall of Shenyang meant. Although they knew that Daishan was unlikely to defend Shenyang,

However, with the strength of the Shenyang city, it would not be a big problem to withstand it for ten and a half days. Who would have thought that in just three days, the news of the fall of Shenyang would come.

Some families of the Eight Banners were still on their way to Tieling. Dorgon led the sergeants of the Eight Banners Army and traveled day and night. In just two days, they arrived at Tieling and immediately launched an attack on Zhenbeiguan. Today, Shenyang If they are captured, don't think too much. Denglai's new army will definitely launch an attack on Tieling as quickly as possible.

After five minutes of silence, Dorgon finally spoke.

"Brother, third brother, we don't have much time. If the Denglai New Army in the direction of Shenyang launches an attack, we will be attacked from both front and rear. At that time, we will be in danger..."

Before Dorgon finished speaking, Duduo stood up again.

"Second brother, what are you worried about? The Denglai New Army is nothing. I am willing to lead the sergeants with white flags to block the attacking Denglai New Army. We will definitely be able to defeat them completely. Hum, according to my temper, we will Fight back to Shenyang..."

Azig did not speak, but looked up at Duoduo. Duoduo had helplessness on his face. Duoduo had such a temper. If the Denglai New Army was weak, Zhenbeiguan would have been captured by the Eight Banners Army. Got off.

"Third brother, let's not say these words. We should still think about how to capture Zhenbeiguan..."

After Dorgon finished speaking, Azig nodded.

"What the second brother said is that the most important thing is to capture Zhenbeiguan. As long as we capture Zhenbeiguan, we will have many choices. We can stick to Zhenbeiguan and prevent the attack of Denglai's new army. You can retreat to the north..."

Duduo snorted, looked at Duduo and Azige and spoke.

"Why, are you afraid of the Denglai New Army? I'm not afraid. If the Denglai New Army and our Eight Banners Army fight in the wild, our Eight Banners Army will kill them to pieces..."

Dorgon couldn't help it anymore, looked at Duduo and spoke coldly.

"Third brother, there is no need to say these words. What we want is the ending, and the rest is nonsense. We suffered heavy losses in the attack on Zhenbeiguan, but the losses of Denglai's new army were even greater, so we have to work hard in one go. Don't give them any chance to breathe..."

Dodo spoke disdainfully.

"Second brother, I will lead the army to attack Zhenbeiguan now. I will definitely win it before dark..."

Dorgon stood up suddenly and slapped the table hard.

"Third brother, you have such a loud tone. I ask you, three days ago, the reinforcements of the Denglai New Army arrived at Zhenbeiguan. What were you doing at that time? Why didn't you stop the reinforcements of the Denglai New Army? Don't you want to You said that all your attention was in the direction of Zhenbeiguan. I had no objection to you rectifying the yellow flag. But when the war came, you killed Sony and other powerful generals. I think at that time, your main attention was all There is a yellow flag on how to control..."

"At this critical moment, our Eight Banners Army must unite as one. We can put aside internal matters and concentrate on defeating the Denglai New Army and capturing Zhenbeiguan. When the time comes, we will rectify internal affairs and we will not encounter much resistance. .”

"According to the scout's report, the total strength of the Denglai New Army sergeants stationed at Zhenbeiguan may be close to 100,000. What this means to us, you all know that the emperor of the Wu Dynasty did not give us any retreat. They just want to completely destroy us. If by this time, we are not able to attach great importance to the Denglai New Army, the fate of Nazir Harang, Daishan and others will soon appear on us... "

There were footsteps outside the wing. Dorgon, who was angry, stared in the direction of the door. No matter what the identity of the person who entered the wing at this time, if there was no suitable reason, Dorgon would really kill someone.

.

"Report to the Regent that the Queen Mother is here..."

Dorgon was stunned for a moment and looked at Dodo and Azig.

The empress dowager used to be Huang Taiji's concubine Zhuang, and her status was not particularly high. However, after her son Fulin became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the mother was more valuable than the son, and concubine Zhuang became the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty. Dorgon did not pay special attention to the emperor before.

The Queen Mother, but in the course of several subsequent interactions, he noticed the Queen Mother's wisdom and courage, and he did not dare to underestimate her.

It can be said that the Empress Dowager spent a lot of effort on consolidating Fulin's throne as emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon later learned that the Empress Dowager had the support of Daishan, Jierhalang and others, as well as the support of many Manchu dignitaries. These people firmly supported Fulin and would not allow Dorgon to usurp the throne and become the

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager was very smart and silently allowed Dorgon to control the Qing Dynasty and gain actual power, but she would not tolerate Dorgon usurping the throne and becoming the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

When the figure of the Empress Dowager appeared at the door, Dorgon quickly clasped his fists and saluted.

"I have met the Queen Mother..."

Duduo and Azige also stood up and saluted. This was the rule of the Qing Dynasty. No matter how arrogant Duduo was, he would not dare to be rude in front of the Empress Dowager.

"Prince Regent, excuse me. I just came to take a look. I just heard rumors from outside that the capital fell and Prince Li was killed in battle. I don't know if this news is true..."

Dorgon's face turned a little pale, and he bowed and spoke to the Empress Dowager.

"The Queen Mother should not believe the rumors from the outside world. All the current situations are under my control. The Queen Mother and the Emperor must be prepared. I will definitely protect the Emperor and the Queen Mother as they go north..."

The Queen Mother nodded.

"Then it's up to the regent, Prince Yu and Prince Wuying..."

After the Empress Dowager left, Duduo couldn't bear it anymore.

"Second brother, I told you to kill the scout who reported the news. Look, the news has leaked out..."

Dorgon snorted coldly.

"Third brother, when will you use your brain and think about it carefully? Did the scouts spread this matter? This is news specially sent by the Denglai New Army. It is just to lower our morale. We don't have time."

Too much. The news of the fall of the capital will definitely have a major impact on the army. We must launch an attack on Zhenbeiguan..."

Azig cupped his fists and spoke to Dorgon.

"Second brother, I am willing to take the lead and launch an attack on Zhenbeiguan..."

Dorgon thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Okay, Azig, you lead the Manba Banner, Mengba Banner and Hanba Banner belonging to the Xiangbai Banner to launch an attack on Zhenbeiguan. Duduo, you lead all the sergeants from the Xianghuang Banner and Zhenghuang Banner to support them. We must continue to launch attacks on Zhenbeiguan.

The attack on Beiguan will not give the Denglai New Army any chance to breathe and adjust. We must capture Zhenbeiguan before dark tomorrow..."

Duduo and Azig left the temporary camp and went to plan the attack. Dorgon, who stayed in the house, looked a little confused. He looked at the map on the table.
