"This time, it's really a loss. It seems that it can only be returned in advance. ”

Although Liu Wei is greedy for merit, he is by no means an arrogant person, seeing that the Houjin cavalry is fierce and comes and goes very fast.

The Ming army was mainly composed of heavy infantry. If you can't catch up, you can only be beaten.

If you go deep into the grassland, you may even suffer a greater loss because of the speed of the cavalry.

"Lao Liu, what should I do now? There are only a bunch of remnants left in my Western army, and it is absolutely impossible to continue to go deeper. ”

Juniper looked at Liu Wei and asked.

As an official of the same dynasty, although Juniper has an unpleasant temper and personality, he is also a general soldier, and he still asks Liu Zhuo's opinion.

"It's impossible to keep going. Send a message to the Southern and Northern armies. If this continues, I am afraid that the crisis will be even greater. ”

Liu Wei already had quite an objection to this tactic in his heart, but this time the characters are very famous in the capital, and even in front of the emperor, he is a well-known celebrity.

In his hand, there is a sword of Shang Fang given by the Holy Lord, who dares to criticize? Isn't that self-defeating?

"But~~ How do you explain this Yang Jingluo?"

Juniper knew that battlefield disobedience was not much less than treason.

"Humph! If he wants to fill it with his own life, no one will stop him. But these under my command are all Sichuan soldiers brought out by myself. They are all veterans under my command. I wouldn't know it was a dead word and take them to their deaths! Or a senseless death. ”

Liu Wei suddenly snorted coldly.

Liu Wei and Yang Hao have always been at odds, and that is a well-known thing in the court.

This time, the battle even deepened the contradictions.

Originally, the Sichuan soldiers under Liu Shu's command should be a battalion, but in order to hurry, Yang Hao had to go out on time, and forcibly filled the 5,000 Sichuan soldiers who had not arrived with miscellaneous soldiers, and even forcibly transferred another 15,000 Korean troops into the original two battalions.

The strength of the North Korean army is even worse than that of the miscellaneous soldiers of the Ming army. Moreover, Liu Wei has always believed that if it is not my race, its heart will be different.

Although these North Korean troops were ordered to crusade, if they really encountered the enemy, I am afraid that they would only show a slight decline, and it was these North Korean troops who were the first to flee.

Therefore, Liu Wei's army seems to have two and a half battalions, but the real combat effectiveness is not even comparable to one battalion.

Let Liu Wei, who has such scarce combat power, go to the most difficult east road. Obviously, Yang Hao never thought of letting Liu Wei make a contribution, and even his heart was clear. "So be it. Let's stand still for now. It's just that I'll revise a letter to Yang Jingluo first. ”

Juniper is unlikely to move on. Continuing to advance in such a hasty manner could do nothing but bring destruction to the few remaining soldiers of his own ranks.

"It's okay, then after we retreat to the Hunhe, we will hold on to the city, so that Nurhachi will not continue to carry out sneak attacks."

Liu Wei nodded in agreement.

As a result, the army, which was less than 30,000, began to retreat, and began to retreat behind the Hunhe River.

"Look, we're still worried too much, this is less than 30,000 troops, and it actually scared me to retreat after 60,000 Jin Tieqi?"

Huang Wuji stood beside Nurhachi, looking at the army that had begun to retreat behind the Hunhe River.

Although Houjin retreated, he did not leave immediately, but monitored everything from a distance.

Nurha's eyes showed a fierce light, he couldn't imagine that he would be frightened away by the sudden arrival of 20,000 soldiers! This annoyed him.

Even, for this, paid a full 5,000 iron horsemen's lives!

In the entire Houjin, the army that can be used is only 60,000 people, and this time it was cut down by 5,000 people, almost a banner of troops, which is tantamount to cutting off a large piece of flesh on Nurhachi's body.

"Humph! How could someone who could pull out such a conspiracy be a simple person? This kind of plan is by no means something that can be formulated by a pus-filled bag like Yang Ho! ”

Nurhachi was extremely curious about the person who could formulate such a plan, and the person who could make such a plan when the troops were divided into four ways and did not know the actions of the Houjin cavalry was almost the same as the unpredictable prophet!

If such a figure continues to exist in the Ming Dynasty, it will be a huge crisis!

And, keeping such a person to continue to work for the Ming Dynasty will obviously become the biggest obstacle to Nurhachi's next step in the Central Plains.

"Order."

Huang Wuji nodded, and immediately saw the meaning conveyed.

Soon, several post-gold sentinels went into action, searching for information about this person.

As for how Nurhachi will get rid of this thorn in his side? l

Quite simply, money can make the devil grind. As long as Nurha made a few promises in secret, there would be money-grubbers who would kill him on his behalf.

Moreover, if this person appears, he will definitely become a big celebrity in front of the emperor. And this will definitely dislike those big officials.

When the time comes, just jealousy and competition for favor may make that person ruined, or die without a place to be buried.

It's a pity that Nurhachi never expected that the person who led the earth-shaking changes in the entire battle situation was nothing more than a hundred households that would not return to Ye Fu at night.

He couldn't have imagined that his plans were all in Ye Fu's mind.

After retreating to the Hunhe River, the army was divided into three parts, and the two armies of Liu Juan and Juniper, who formed a defensive line in the shape of horns, completely eliminated the possibility of Nurhachi winning easily.

At this time, the situation of the war gradually tended to be in a balance.

The Ming army was too divided to support each other, so it could only be broken one by one, and now it is beginning to close. Nurhachi's idea of attacking them was completely frustrated.

However, the Ming army mainly fought with heavy infantry and firearms, and its speed of action was far inferior to that of the cavalry of the Later Jin. So, it's hard to chase.

Moreover, if the Ming army moves, it is difficult to guarantee that Houjin will not sneak attack from the rear and destroy the firearms.

For the Ming army, without firearms, it is a beast that has been abolished, and it is difficult to make great achievements.

Plus, it's getting colder. Most of the soldiers in the army were drawn from the south, where had they seen such a cold winter?

Continued stalemate may only lead to the destruction of the entire army.

The sentinels did not dare to delay, and marched forward in three ways.

The two roads went straight to the southern army and the northern army, and told the two roads to stop moving forward and move closer to the two armies located on the Hunhe River.

The rest of the way, the nine people led by Ye Fu did not return at night, holding Liu Wei and Juniper's two general soldiers' souvenirs and went straight to Shenyang, the base camp of the war.

The changes in the next battle situation have already changed greatly from Ye Fu's memory.

Therefore, Ye Fu didn't know much about how the next battle would change.

In order to avoid accidents, Ye Fu had to hurry up and go straight to Shenyang.

It took three days and three nights to get there, but the way back was even more difficult than when I went.

In four days, Ye Fucai rushed out of the sea of snow.

"What people!"

On the gate of Shenyang, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly saw a group of people rushing straight to the city gate, and immediately pointed at Ye Fu and asked loudly.

"General Du Barracks will not return to 100 households at night, and Ye Fu will bring letters from General Du and General Liu."

Ye Fu, who hadn't eaten for almost two days, still had a clear and loud voice, and he said loudly to the soldiers guarding the city.

"Is there a token?"

This kind of surprise attack tactics have been around since ancient times, who dares to rashly open the city gates? I'm afraid that it will provoke thousands of iron riders.

Once the Houjin people enter the customs, with the reserve army of less than 3,000 people in Shenyang at this time, I am afraid that they will only leave a corpse.

"I have tokens of the two soldiers."

As he spoke, Ye Fu took out half of the talisman lent by the two chief soldiers hanging on his waist.

"Okay, open the gates."

The person who built the city was not an unknown person, and after he stared at it and confirmed that it was a real talisman, he thought to himself, either Juniper and Liu Shu's troops were wiped out, or Juniper and Liu Shu personally lent the talisman.

And if Juniper and Liu Zhuojun were really wiped out, it would be impossible for them to have no sound at all.

It can be seen that Ye Fu did not lie, but opened the city gate to welcome Ye Fu and others.
