Chapter 345: The Great Battle of the Suwen River (Medium)

Day 2.

The Korqin Department still did not find Zai Sai and the others lurking in the mountains, but compared to yesterday, their speed of crossing the river has increased significantly.

Oba stood by the bridge and personally commanded the crowd to cross the river.

After a night of deliberation, Oba followed Kurtang's "advice", or rather order, to separate the captives from the cattle and sheep behind the army, and let the main force cross the river first.

It wasn't that he was afraid of being ambushed, it was just that he felt that crossing the river like this would be a waste of time, and Kurtang was obviously a little impatient.

It took only one day to defeat Yechen's troops, but the Suwen River blocked them for two days, and if they wanted the army to pass through completely, it might take three or four days.

The last time Kur was urged by Nurhachi was eight days ago.

In the area of Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi is still holding on, trying to make Nurhachi feel that the reinforcements are still coming to Liaoshen, but it is becoming more and more difficult day by day.

If the Liaoyang Ming army has not yet moved, Nurhachi will soon become suspicious.

Xiong Tingbi took a risk, summoned the generals to raise the account, and decided to let Mao Wenlong and North Korean Marshal Jin Jingrui contain them in the north, creating the illusion that the Ming Dynasty was fully out of the customs.

In the first battle of Salhu, Daming played like this.

Xiong Tingbi concluded that if he did this, he could at least delay Nurhachi for a few days, and at the same time, he also ordered to clear the fields in various places and wait for them.

At such a critical moment, one more day of delay can give us more certainty of victory in the war.

If Nurhachi found that the Liaoyang Ming army was just a bluff, he would either turn to Fuyuwei, or he would attack Liaoshen in a big way.

It's just that with the current situation, it is not a big case for Nurhachi to turn his head and go to Fuyu.

He was still jealous of Xiong Tingbi in his heart, and he also guessed that once he led the army north, Xiong Tingbi would definitely lead the Ming army out.

Xiong Tingbi expected that Jiannu would definitely come to Liaoshen again.

At that time, it will not be the siege and temptation under Shenyang City before, and it will be necessary to start with real swords and guns.

The combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners should not be underestimated, and Xiong Tingbi was also very nervous in his heart.

Although he had increased his speed, the speed of crossing the river was still as slow as a turtle crawling in Kuhl's eyes, and he became more and more impatient.

The Jurchen soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner around him were also sneering, pointing at the Horqin cavalry here, with disdain in their eyes.

"Oba, at this speed, you can completely cross the river tomorrow night, the Great Khan can't afford to wait, Mao Wenlong has already acted!"

Kuhl's pestering attitude became more and more rude to Oba.

This also made Oba even more convinced that the Ming court army must be going to Shenyang.

Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army has left the island, which shows that the Ming court army should have arrived in Shenyang soon, and if the five departments of the Liaodong War against Horqin did not rush back as soon as possible, Nurhachi would definitely be dissatisfied with himself.

"There's been no movement in Zaisai lately, he won't wait to die, we have to send a sentry to the mountains to investigate, I think the mountains are a little too quiet!"

Kurtan seems to have become accustomed to dictating to Oba, the leader of the Five Alliances, which has made the latter more and more dissatisfied.

Before Oba could speak, his younger brother Budazi couldn't bear it anymore and said:

"That's how we Horqin people cross the river, do you want to bring 30,000 Jurchen cavalry to cross the river here and see if it will be faster than us."

Kurtang turned his head to look over and sneered:

"Milky boy, this is your attitude when talking to your big gold master?"

After he said this, the rest of the Jurchen cavalry with yellow flags also stood up and gathered around Budaqi, as if they were waiting for an order to cut him into pulp.

Looking at the heavy armor of the Jurchens, the tiger-headed steel knife on their waists, and the stainless steel tiger spear behind their backs, the lords of Horqin looked at each other a few times, but they were silent.

No one wants to kill his people because of a bad mouth.

Oba knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners cavalry was by no means something that their Korqin people or the four Inner Khalkha tribes could resist.

If he angered Nurhachi, within a few months, the brave and skilled Iron Cavalry of the Eight Banners would surely set foot on Korqin and slaughter his people.

After thinking for a moment, Oba looked angrily at Budazi and rebuked:

"Budazi, don't apologize for Taiji yet!"

Budaqi was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that everyone was all scared to death, he stood there for a while before he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said:

"I'm sorry, Kur pestered Taiji!"

After saying this, the Jurchen cavalry put their hands off the hilt of their swords, and then laughed one by one, which made Budaqi feel even more humiliated.

Kurtang laughed with satisfaction, pushed him away with one hand, and said:

"You are young and ignorant, there are a lot of people in this Taiji, and you won't be able to see children in general, Dajin and Horqin are still an eternal alliance!"

The last half of the sentence is obviously addressed to Oba.

The latter didn't care about his shamelessness in front of the clan, and the sarcasm in his words, so he just nodded and said with a smile:

"Taiji is right, I, the Horqin Department, will always be the good of the Great Khan's loyal and reliable in-laws!"

Budazi looked at his brother with hatred, and was ashamed of his weakness, but at this time, he felt that Zaisai of Uziyette was a real man on the grassland.

......

The Korqin tribe obeyed Kurtang's order, and was dispatching troops to search deep into the mountains to see if there would be an ambush that could not exist at all.

At the same time, in the dense forest around the Suwen River.

Zaisai looked at the subordinates who looked at death as if they were home, and his heart was also desolate, indeed, the Haritu of the Speculative Household Department was brave and daring to fight.

If even he had a look on his face that he would rather die in battle, the mentality of the rest of the troops at this time could be imagined.

After all, Horqin is the majority of the Nenjiang River Basin, and after it was annexed to Houjin, it became even more prestigious, and even the four Inner Khalkha tribes bowed their heads to their ears.

If you don't rely on yourself at this time, even if Genghis Khan appears, it will be helpless.

Zaisai raised his voice, stood on a boulder so that everyone could see him, drew his scimitar from his waist, and said in a loud voice:

"Although there are 30,000 enemies, they are only numerous!"

"In my opinion, the Horqin people are a rabble, and in this raid, as long as each department can injure and kill a few of its lords, the Horqin people will definitely collapse without a fight!"

"Report ——!"

At this time, a sentry came and hugged his fists:

"King Khan, the Horqin people put our army prisoners behind the army, cross the river with all their might, and have cavalry into the forest to search the mountains, and they are almost here!"

The lord of the Speculation Division, Halitu, sneered and said:

"Since the Horqin people arrived in Fuyuwei, they have been smooth sailing, and they have long been arrogant, and at this time they are afraid that it will be too late!"

Zaisai looked down the mountain, and really saw that in the distance between the dense forests, there were many Korqin sentry horses splitting the bushes and going up.

Seeing that the time had come, Zaisai stepped on his horse, took the lead and jumped out of the woods, raising his scimitar:

"Kill all these Horqin dogs with me!"

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the Mongol tribes of Fuyuwei also rushed down the mountain like fierce tigers, and released a rain of arrows along the way.

The rain of arrows fell, and many of the Korqin Sentinels were hit before they could react, and they died on the path.
