Chapter 6 Scout Ye Baihu!

"This old thief must have expected us to divide our troops, and actually concentrated our forces to punish one first, so that we can lose our troops and lose our generals."

Liu Wei was furious, but he didn't seem to have the intention of immediately rescuing.

"General, if the general suddenly becomes a battlefield in the rear, he will definitely be able to harvest those Tartars, and the general's military exploits will be incomparably illustrious."

Ye Fu knew that compared to the rescue, I am afraid that what this guy wants more is to speed up, set foot in Houjin Capital City, and win the battle alone.

Compared with the capital city, which was still incomparably far away, the credit of the main force of the Jin after the annihilation was also huge, and Ye Fu hinted that if Liu Wei supported him, he would definitely be able to obtain great military merits.

"Need a reminder? I am the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, and the reason is still unclear?"

Liu Lian's eyes rolled and he shouted in a low voice.

"Yes, my subordinates are talkative."

Ye Fu secretly exhaled a turbid breath, obviously, this Liu Lianyi had already begun to weigh interests.

"Okay, the front army becomes the rear army, the rear army becomes the front army, and we will rush to Salhu immediately."

Finally, after thinking for a few minutes, Liu Wei conveyed an order, signaled the army to change, and immediately rushed to Salhu.

At this time, but the past day, presumably Juniper, who had a vigilant heart at this time, had not yet crossed the Hunhe River.

Ye Fu was not sure at this time, whether Juniper would still adopt the original method and rashly cross the Hun River, so that before the battle, he had already lost his troops and lost his generals, and even the chariots and artillery that the Ming Dynasty relied on the most were also a lot dumb because of this.

Sarsh was not far from Dong E, and if he crossed it, it would only be fifty miles, and when he arrived, it was probably that Juniper's army had just crossed the Hunhe River.

If Juniper is not so light on the enemy, there must not be a loss of troops and countless soldiers on the Hunhe River.

In winter, it always gets darker earlier in the north. After an hour of marching, the sky began to darken.

And Liu Lian thought about it for a while, intending to raise the torch and move forward.

But Ye Fu knew that if he moved forward with a torch, it would be tantamount to completely exposing his position and strength to the eyes of those Houjin Tartars.

He proposed: "General, it is still early, and it is not appropriate to move forward with torches."

Liu Wei nodded and felt that his words were reasonable, so he dispelled this thought.

Ten miles more, and by this time it was less than ten miles from Sarsh.

But I saw a group of soldiers who had lost their armor and fled in a hurry, covered in blood, as if they had just experienced a big battle.

"Who?"

Liu Zhuo's former army intercepted the group of soldiers who fled in a hurry and asked.

"We are Juniper men of the West Road."

When these soldiers saw the mighty army, they immediately calmed down as if they had met an organization.

I found out after understanding. It turned out that although he was reminded by Ye Fu, Juniper was a little vigilant, but he still didn't take Houjin in his eyes.

Juniper still took two routes, one to hold the Jilin Cliff with the main force, and the other to attack the Houjin garrison.

But who would have thought that behind the Houjin defensive place was the Houjin army.

10,000 soldiers, before they had time to react, were killed and wounded by the 30,000 Houjin troops.

And Juniper, which is in Jilin Cliff, is also surrounded by two tartars, and is in a dilemma.

10,000 sergeants, dead and wounded. Less than one percent were able to escape.

Nurhachi did not immediately pursue the fleeing soldiers, but sharply turned his gun and joined forces to besiege the main army of the Western Road, which was in the encirclement.

"It seems that it is still too late."

Ye Fu thought to himself, although he had already reminded Juniper, but this time, Juniper obviously still didn't put Tartar in his eyes.

Or commit a crisis that is enough to put yourself in a mortal situation.

"Immediately speed up and rush to Jilin Cliff!"

Liu Wei was secretly shocked in his heart, he knew that the first section of Juniper was the main force in this battle.

If the whole army is annihilated, the battle with Houjin will definitely be difficult to win or even defeated.

Even, even the entire Liaodong region was like opening a door to Houjin, allowing those Tartars to come and go freely.

Therefore, he didn't care about talking about any military exploits, he didn't say a word, and commanded his subordinates to hurry to the battlefield.

"Kill! Kill!"

Two miles away, the sound of the war drums of Juniper's army was deafening, and the sound of soldiers fighting was also incessant.

It can be seen that the battle situation is tragic.

It's a pity that the enemy is dark and I am clear, and the juniper army lights torches to fight, like fireflies in the night.

Those Tartars could easily harvest the juniper army.

Historically, the Tartars, a nomadic people, have been good at cavalry warfare, and they are even more skilled in archery.

In comparison, the Firebolt is indeed more powerful and has a longer range.

But the cumbersome reloading speed was enough to make the Tartar cavalry advance a hundred meters, and it was possible to launch three or four volleys.

Therefore, although Juniper's army seems to be able to defeat the enemy easily, it actually loses the upper hand. Not only is the attack speed and terrain constrained.

Even the target of the attack is difficult to find out in the darkness of the night.

"Mr. Du, our people are less than five thousand!"

Wang Menglin frowned, and said in a low voice.

"This group of dog thieves is fierce. I'm afraid you won't be able to escape death. Since this is the case, let this group of dog thieves also taste the spirit of my Ming soldiers. ”

Juniper spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and said viciously.

When people are on the verge of death, they will always burst out with a much greater fighting power than before.

And this is the case with the Juniper army.

At this time, they knew that they had no chance of survival, so they decided to fight against the water.

It's a pity that Jilin Cliff is embattled. Surrounded by enemies.

It's like the mountains are full of Tartar soldiers.

Such a psychological impact is enough to make those ordinary soldiers feel terrified.

"Mr. Liu, there is Jilin Cliff ahead."

Ye Fu pointed to the cliff that was surrounded by the Houjin army less than a mile away.

"Okay, get ready!"

Liu Wei nodded, signaled the army to set up a long snake formation, with heavy infantry holding spears in front, and shooting pistols and artillery pressing behind, gradually advancing.

The advantage of this was that the Tartar cavalry had already been swept away by the spears before they could rush in front of them, and the cavalry in the rear would be in chaos when they were blocked by the cavalry in front.

However, it is extremely difficult to pursue the deserters in this way.

From this point of view, Liu Wei had already put away his thoughts about fighting for military merits, and just wanted to save this juniper army that was besieged on the cliff.

"Report! There is an army behind me!"

The Tartar cavalry soon spotted this massive army.

"How did an army appear in our rear. See, what kind of way is this?"

Nurhachi was dizzy, he didn't expect that suddenly a menacing force would jump out behind his ass.

Even, he began to suspect that the Ming army, which was besieged by him, was just a trap set by the Ming army, with the intention of luring all the forces of Houjin to take Jilin Cliff directly.

The rest of the Ming Dynasty's three-way army took the opportunity to besiege, and even cooperated with the defenders of Jilin Cliff to work together to exterminate the Houjin army.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Nurhachi became.

Although Daming only fights away from home, he doesn't know much about the terrain.

But the main force of the Ming army is 120,000, and if it is crushed, it will be fortunate that one-tenth of the 60,000 soldiers under his command can survive.

"The one coming from the rear is Liu Zhuo's troops of the Western Army!"

Soon, the Tartar Sentinels were the information to be heard.

This answer surprised Nurhachi even more.

"The Western Army has already arrived here after a slow march, and the Northern Army is not far from the Western Army, and I am afraid that it has already arrived. It seems that he can only escape. ”

Nurhachi suddenly had a retreat in his heart.

What's more, this raid led to the almost total annihilation of the Western Army.

Except for the 10,000 people in the baggage battalion who were lucky enough to survive the Hunhe River, the remaining 30,000 people were killed and wounded, almost less than one-tenth of them.

Nurhachi was already satisfied with such a result, and he immediately made a decision and ordered his soldiers to begin to retreat.

"Chief soldier, is that guy starting to withdraw?"

Wang Menglin couldn't believe his eyes and pushed the juniper beside him.

"That's not right! It's my Ming reinforcements coming! Leave them for me!"

Juniper, on the other hand, saw the rear gradually cut into the battlefield and swept away the enemy's reinforcements with a knife and spear.

Suddenly, Juniper was in high spirits and ordered his subordinates to stalk the enemy to the death.

Seeing that Juniper's army was so energetic, Nurhachi was even more sure of the guess in his heart, and he didn't even dare to turn back, and fled in a hurry with the remaining three troops.

And the remaining Tartar soldiers, with enemy troops in front and pursuers in the rear, had nowhere to flee, and were eaten by the remnants of the Western Army and the Eastern Army.

Even if Ye Fu attracted 20,000 troops from the East Road as reinforcements, the Western Army still suffered heavy casualties.

Of the 40,000-strong army, apart from the baggage battalion, which did not take a direct part in the battle, the remaining three full combat battalions were left with few deaths.

Even with the sergeants who escaped, it didn't add up to half the number of the battalion.

And after the battlefield, there are fireworks everywhere. Corpses and blood were stained everywhere.

Even the originally clear Hunhe River has long since become a blood river mixed with milky white liquid.

Even if he knew the era of cold weapons, the cruelty of war, and the horror of bloodshed, Ye Fu still lamented for this devastated land in his heart.

In this Shura field, I don't know how many thousands of soldiers' lives have been buried, among them, there are not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the Houjin.

It can only be said that the greed of human nature never ends. As long as there is a slight possibility, they will be driven by the desire in their hearts.

And the ambitions of those in power need so many ordinary lives to be filled.

Ye Fu's heart was suddenly in a trance, and then a surging vomit churned from his stomach.

He could only force this spit down. He's not a helpless college student.

Because at this time, he has become the Ming Dynasty who does not return at night, scouting Ye Baihu!
