Chapter 1083 – Scheming Calculations
Even with the help of Di Chen's forces, Dorgon had to consider one problem, "Facing the counterattack of the Ming Dynasty camp, should the Qing army strike out or choose a suitable location for a final battle?"
Both were difficult.
If they struck out, as the Ming Dynasty army used many attack tactics, the Qing army would need to split up, adding a lot of risk to the battle.
No matter which army fell in the end, it was not something that the Qing army could accept.
If they were to choose to have a final battle, it was like taking a gamble. The problem was if the Ming army would arrive at the place they chose.
Naturally, they would not.
The north was really vast, and Ming Dynasty could go around the target city up north to take Yanjing. If that happened, the Qing army would be in an awkward position where they could not go forward or backward.
"This cannot do, that cannot do either."
