In early March, Nurhachi led the Eight Banners army to Fushun.

Nurhachi convened the four major beyler deliberations, and under the strong leadership of Hanchen Fan Wencheng, it was decided to first clear the surrounding military forts, and then drive the Liao people into Shenyang City, and finally besiege but not attack, and attack the Ming reinforcements, so as to consume its vital forces.

On March 10, the Houjin army attacked Puhesuo.

The guerrilla general Yang Fangli died in battle, and the Ming 3,000 defenders fought unyieldingly in the streets, all of whom died, and after breaking the city, Hauge ordered the city to be slaughtered for one day, leaving 3,000 soldiers to guard the way back.

After Nurhachi broke through the Puhe River, he led the main force of the Houjin army to the west from the Puhe River on the second day, arrived at Pingyu Fort on March 16, and went to Shalingdun on the 19th.

Both places left 5,000 soldiers as outposts to guard against reinforcements from the Ming army.

After receiving the news of the fall along the Puhe River, Man Gui was distressed, and ordered the Ming army of the surrounding forts to shrink their front and retreat to Shenyang.

On the 20th, Zheng Wen and Bai Zhenwu, the thousand generals of Shangyulinbao and Jingyuanbao, led more than 8,000 Ming troops on the way to retreat, encountered a surprise attack by more than 10,000 Houjin troops of Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Iran.

Originally, the Houjin army was the first to discover the retreating Ming army, and Iran quietly marched into the army, intending to encircle and annihilate the Ming army in the area of Shalingdun.

The terrain of Shaling pier is dangerous, there is a Ming generation, here is a standing fire road pier, stationed more than 100 people of the garrison and their relatives, in distress then ignite the beacon fire, hundreds of miles to the south can be seen.

The Ming army marched by the water, and suddenly gongs sounded on both sides, and countless Houjin army horse infantry killed, suffering heavy damage, and had to retreat to the mountain.

Not long after, after the three roads, the Jin army surrounded the mountain, and Iran Ah shouted upwards to persuade the Ming army to surrender.

Seeing that the Houjin army was strong, he wanted to surrender, but Bai Zhenwu persuaded him with words and refused to surrender, and repeatedly counterattacked from the hill downward, wanting to send horsemen to report to Shenyang for reinforcements.

Seeing this, Zheng Wen had no choice but to give up.

Thousands of Ming troops on the mountain were surrounded, food and grass were insufficient, and several counterattacks were organized in one day, all of which were repulsed.

Bai Zhenwu was still unmoved, and under the stalemate between the two parties, he was about to fight.

At this time, the Houjin army suddenly attacked the mountain, and the front team of the Ming army was defeated.

However, it was Iran's Achai who knew that the Ming army had been fighting for days and had no military rations, so he must have been sleepy and lacking horses, so he personally led the Houjin army to wade and climb the mountain this morning.

The Ming army was taken by surprise, Bai Zhenwu suggested fighting and retreating, using the terrain of the sand ridge to defend, Zheng Wen changed the norm and agreed to lead his troops to retreat.

The Iranian Ajianming army retreated, that is, the light infantry attacked from the front over the water barrier, and the cavalry made a detour from the two flanks to carry out a flank attack.

The Ming army retreated into the mountains, Bai Zhenwu was commanding the battle, and Zheng Wen, the general of Qian, suddenly turned against him, killed him in the back, and led his troops to surrender.

Iran did not accept the surrender of this part of the Ming army, and in his opinion, it is useless for these clothed minions to come, and it is better to transform them into military merits.

Later, the Jin army beheaded the Ming soldiers who came to deliver the surrender table, and took the opportunity to attack, and before Zheng Wenshang, the general manager of Qian, could escape, he was captured in front of Iran Ah, and the latter was killed by himself.

The Houjin army took advantage of the chaos to cover up and kill, and the rest of the Ming army was all scattered and disappeared.

......

The Battle of Shaling was just one of the many battles that preceded Nurhachi's attack on Shenyang.

Such a tragedy is being staged all the time in the russet land of Liaodong.

According to Fan Wencheng's strategy, Nurhachi briefly analyzed the situation after taking all the Ming army fortresses and piers near Shenyang.

Then, he ordered to build a simple defense line garrisoned by the Han army at Puhesuo, Pingyubao, Jingyuanbao, Shaling and other important passes.

This line of defense, regardless of whether the Han army can block the attack of the Ming army, at least will give the Eight Banners Army besieging Shenyang in the rear a time to prepare.

According to Nurhachi's estimate, the Ming army will definitely be on this occasion and directly send troops to help Shenyang, and by the time they find out, it will be too late.

At that time, the vast Fuyuwei had already belonged to Horqin.

The reinforcements can't run, although Nurhachi knows that it is useless to take one Shenyang alone, but he is still very concerned about the consumption of the Ming Court's sound power.

Just when Nurhachi sharpened his knife and was complacent about his voice, he suddenly contracted a cold and was bedridden.

At this time, Nurhachi became somewhat restless and life-saving, he didn't want to fall at this time and lose all his achievements.

Zhubeile took turns to wait at the bedside, taking care of their "Great Khan", but within a few days, a news came out of the gate, which made Nurhachi's condition worse.

One night, Nurhachi woke up from his sleep and heard the howling of the wind outside, which made his court tent "whirring", and his heart was even more faintly uneasy.

"Someone!"

"Someone!!"

He shouted loudly, and for a long time [Apex] no one answered.

He stood up and walked outside the tent, where he discussed with the kings Belle, and it was also quiet, except for the increasingly crazy wind and rain outside the tent, everything was still and terrible.

Nurhachi lifted the curtains, lightning and thunder thundered in the air, and the rain broke through the anxiety in his heart, and he cursed a sentence where everyone died, and then lowered the curtains.

Turn around.

"Great Khan, you don't have anyone left."

"It's all dead..."

Startled, Nurha stopped moving, and stared in amazement at a dark corner of the tent that was empty.

But he was pretty sure that Fang Cai's slightly sarcastic voice came from there.

Dark clouds obscured the day, and Nurhachi suddenly felt a little frightened, and he leaned towards the candlestick, and now the only light around him was the dim candle flame.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness, he had no face, but the clothes he was wearing were the clothes of the Ming Emperor who Nurhachi was familiar with.

Nurhachi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly shuddered uncontrollably, and for the first time between his lips and teeth, there was a fragmented tremor and uneasiness.

"You... Are you Zhu Youxiao, the little emperor? ”

"Why are you here, hehehe..."

"No, you're fake, you're fake——!"

Zhu Youxiao's face gradually became clearer, but he did not have the smile that made people like a spring breeze in the past, like a dead man.

The smile on his face seemed to mock Nurhachi's incompetence.

"What should have come should not have come... What should have come is coming..."

"What are you doing here?!"

"Nuer Hachi, you Jianzhou Jurchen, by the grace of the emperor, the deepest, the heaviest, and the most restless, the most true, the most detested."

"Why do you dare to live up to the emperor's grace!"

There was an echo in the darkness, word by word, clearly reaching Nurhachi's ears.

This sentence made him have to recall that he was insatiable in Jianzhou Jurchen and was defeated by Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong.

In an instant, the environment around him changed.

The dark clouds dissipated and turned into a bright sun, but it was his familiar ancestral village.

Before Nurhachi had time to remember, he heard the shouts of killing everywhere, and the gate of the village was broken, but it was Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, who led the Liaodong iron cavalry to break through their stockade.

In Nurhachi's impression, these Ming troops were all brave and had no possibility of victory, and they ran to the Jurchens, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, cutting down people when they met them, and killing them when they saw them.

His father, Zu Takshi, and Jue Chang'an, actually followed Li Chengliang's horse, drove him to open the door, and broke his ancestral village!

Nurha's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, it turned out that it was their family who betrayed Jianzhou and Daming all along.

At this moment, he felt that the eight hatreds of his army were simply a complete joke.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves gradually increased, and a man and a horse approached his eyes.

Just looking at his eyes, Nurhachi had a fear from the heart, this person was Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong.

Li Chengliang was dressed in armor, holding the reins of his horse in one hand, and the knife edge of the other hand was still dripping with the warm blood of the Jurchens.

He looked condescendingly at Nurhachi and waved his saber expressionlessly.
