Chapter 431: The Historical Process That Is Hard to Change

Huang Youcai was so frightened by Aragu that he couldn't help but take a step back, Li Guozhu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, handed him a knife, and said in a deep voice: "If you are still a man, go and kill him!" Rest assured, what he said will never come true, and men will either die on the battlefield or live on the ground! Never let people cut off their heads and stick them on wooden poles in the sun......"

Huang Youcai was aroused by Li Guozhu's words, took the knife handed over by Li Guozhu with trembling hands, walked in front of Aragu, closed his heart and eyes, and slashed Alagu softly, Alagu spit a mouthful of blood at Huang Youcai, and sneered: "Dog slave, it's not strong enough, it's not an eggless goods, it's not Lao Tzu who looks down on you, you are the life of a slave!" ……”

This finally angered Huang Youcai completely, and frantically waved the knife in his hand to cut at Alagu, slashing harder and harder, until he cut Alagu's corpse to a bloody blur and refused to stop, or Li Guozhu walked over and snatched his knife, he slowly calmed down, looked at Li Guozhu with burning eyes and said firmly: "Can I join you?" I'm going to avenge my dad with my own hands! I can show you the way! ……”

Li Guozhu wanted such an effect, and laughed: "Of course you can!" Welcome to the Forces Novas! As he spoke, he waved his hand at Xie Erhu behind him and said, "Give him a horse and a knife, let's continue to set off and go to the next dungeon!" ……”

A similar scene also occurred in other Houjin forts, Guo Zhiyuan's Zixin Army used such tactics to pull out more than 100 Houjin forts, kill more than 8,000 people left behind in the Eight Banners, seize more than 8,000 horses and livestock, and also kidnap all the Houjin women and children in these forts, totaling about 20,000 people, which can be regarded as sweeping away the Houjin back road!

Guo Zhiyuan's tactics of copying the back road can achieve such great results mainly due to his division tactics and the arrogant psychology of the Houjin people, Guo Zhiyuan knows that Nurhachi in order to deal with the Ming Dynasty army almost all the capable fighters in the Houjin Dynasty to the front line, the back road must be very empty, so he will boldly adopt the tactics of dividing troops.

And Houjin's arrogance made them mistakenly think that it was just a sneak attack by a small group of Ming troops when the dungeon was attacked, so they didn't choose to send people to flee for help at the first time, but chose to take the initiative to meet it, so that Guo Zhiyuan was able to quietly pull out these Houjin rear bunkers without alarming the Houjin army!

At this time, Nurhachi, who was on the front line, was unaware of what was happening in the rear, and still approached the Ming army according to the marching route formulated before, Guo Zhiyuan's original plan was to rush to Salhu on the day of the outbreak of the Battle of Salhu, and attack the Houjin army with the main force of the Ming army, but I don't know if it was providence or the inertia of history was too great, just on the way that Guo Zhiyuan gathered from the new army to Salhu, he suddenly encountered a blizzard, and Guo Zhiyuan had to order to stop advancing.

The course of history has not changed because Guo Zhiyuan copied the back road of the Houjin army, and the battle of Salhu still officially started on the first day of the third lunar month in 1619 (the forty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty)!

Thanks to Yang Hao, the commander of the Ming army, the "divine assistance", he told Nurhachi in advance the march route and departure time of the Ming army of the four routes by letter, plus the Houjin is more familiar with the terrain of Liaodong than the Ming army, Nurhachi attaches great importance to pre-war reconnaissance, and the Houjin detective horse is haunted, so Nurhachi knows the movements of the Ming army of the four roads well, and this battle has not yet started, and the Ming army has already lost more than half!

And at this time, the main general of the main force of the Ming army on the west road, Jun Song, who made the fatal mistake of rushing forward, Jun Song was also a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, the town of Yansui, Jizhou, Liaodong, Shanhaiguan, prestige, was called "Du Taishi" by the people outside the Saiwai, but this time because it was the four Ming army divided into a joint attack, so in order to grab the first work, Jun Song ordered the troops to rush more than 100 miles to the bank of the Hunhe River with torches and snow overnight, and after arriving at the Hunhe River, Juniper did not listen to the dissuasion of the generals, but forced to cross the river, because of the difficulty of crossing the river, When crossing the river, Nurhachi destroyed the dam in the upper reaches of the Hunhe River and released water, causing the river to rise sharply, and the Ming army was drowned in the water, resulting in the death of soldiers and horses, and the sharp spirit was greatly defeated.

Juniper was in a hurry to make another faint move, divided his troops into two, stationed near Salhu with the main force, and led 10,000 people to attack Jilin Cliff, where the Jin army was building fortifications. Nurhachi saw that the Juniper Army was lone and scattered, so he sent troops to reinforce Jilin Cliff on the one hand, and personally led the Six Banners to attack the Juniper Army in Salhu with an absolute superiority. The two armies fought, it was past noon, the sky was overcast, it was difficult to distinguish at hand, the Juniper army lit the torch for the artillery bombardment, and the Jin army used the torch lit by the Juniper army, from the dark to the light, the arrows were shot, killing and wounding many people. Nurhachi took advantage of the heavy fog to cross the trenches, pull out the fence, and capture the Du army camp, and the main force of the Du army was defeated with heavy casualties. The defenders of Houjin stationed in Jilin Cliff also defeated the attacking Ming army with the cooperation of reinforcements, and the chief soldier of the Ming Army's West Route Army, Du Song, the chief soldier of Baoding, and Zhao Menglin, the former commander-in-chief, were all killed in the battle, and the Ming West Route Army was annihilated!

After Nurhachi annihilated the Juniper Army, he was about to turn the main force of the Eight Banners to the north, and went to the direction of Shangjian Cliff to meet the Ming North Route Army, the North Route Army was led by the general Ma Lin, Ma Lin was the second son of the famous general Ma Fang of the Ming Dynasty, but there was no trace of the style of his father, the history books said that he was "good at literature, poetry, work books, and many scholars", the book on his body was more angry than the generals, at this time Ma Lin already knew the news of the defeat of the Juniper army, did not dare to advance, and stationed the army in three places, and ordered Pan Zongyan and Gong Nian to divide the camp several miles away, With the momentum of becoming horns, a character array was placed.

But his character array in the battle-hardened Nurhachi seems to be full of loopholes, he ordered the big Belle Daishan to lead the main force of the Eight Banners to attack the Shangjian Cliff, and he personally led three thousand elites to rush towards the weakest corner of Gong Niansui's camp, on the third day of the first month of March, Gong Niansui's camp was broken, Gong Niansui was killed, Nurhachi went straight to Shangjian Cliff, ordered the golden cavalry to base on the top of the mountain first, and hit downward, Marin was frightened for a while, and immediately ordered the elite infantry in the trench to come out of the trench to help, Nurhachi saw that the Marin camp and the outside of the trench converged, and ordered the cavalry to stop attacking the mountain, dismount and fight on footAt that time, the Ming army hurriedly fired a bird gun and released a huge cannon, but "the fire was not used, and the blade was already necked."

So far, the Ming army of the North Road has also been annihilated, this battle is extremely tragic, the history books record that "the dead are in the valley, the blood is still flowing under the cliff, and the water is red." Even Ma Lin's two sons, Ma Ran and Ma Yi, were also killed in battle, but Ma Lin, the main general, "suddenly heard that the enemy was coming, Lin was very afraid, so he raised his subordinates to avoid his front", and fled back to Kaiyuan with only a few horses!
