Ao Bai said hatefully: "Ming people are cunning, and they will kill more to relieve their hatred when they see it in the future!" But why don't these 20,000 reinforcements go on the ice on the sea, so that they can also ride horses, and with horses, who can defeat my Jurchen soldiers? ”

Dai Shan said: "If the Ming army can dig the road, it must also be able to chisel the ice, and it was night at that time, and my Jurchen soldiers have won many battles in recent years, and they don't take the Ming army in their eyes, so they fell into an ambush." The specific battle situation is not very clear, but the soldiers on the mountain were not killed by some huge monster, but encountered the 'Mandarin Duck Array' of the Ming infantry, that is, people with different weapons leaning together, the length of the weapons matched seamlessly, it is said that no one has been able to break this formation in the infantry battle, and when the attack was fruitless and turned around and fled, they were chased and killed by the Ming army. ”

Ao Bai said: "There are two or three thousand dead on the mountain, but there are more than 10,000 on the road, how can the Ming army kill them and bury them in snow?" ”

Dai Shan said: "These ten miles of mountain slopes are enough to ambush tens of thousands of Ming troops, when my Jurchen soldiers entered the ambush area, they directly pushed down the pre-gathered snow, think about how much snow fell in those days, how much snow can be gathered on the slopes?" More than 10,000 people crowded on the rotten road and couldn't run fast before they could retreat, and it was estimated that a lot of trenches were dug on the ice at sea, and the snow on the mountain was buried when it kept coming down. ”

Ao Bai nodded and said: "This Ming army is too poisonous, but there is still something wrong, more than three thousand died on the hillside, 123 died on the road, and two or three thousand people rushed out and were killed under the Nanguan Pass, so where did more than 1,000 people go?" ”

Dai Shan said: "This explains how the Ming army entered Jinzhou in disguise openly, the 50,000 people left behind in Yizhou are not all my Jurchens, there are also Han people recruited from other places, and the more than 1,000 people who disappeared are likely to be Han people, and they immediately surrendered to the Ming army when they saw that the situation was not good." As soon as they came out of Golden State, they knew the password, changed their clothes, and then infiltrated the city, and finally killed all the Golden State defenders. ”

Ao Bai asked, "Then why did they give up after occupying Jinzhou?" And put the killed people on the street? ”

Dai Shan said: "In the four days from the 22nd to the 26th of the first month, the Ming army had to dig roads, attack Lushun, and run north of Jinzhou to kidnap people, and these things could not be accomplished without 30,000 or 40,000 people. On the 27th day of the first month, they ambushed 20,000 reinforcements from Yizhou on the road from Jinzhou to Nanguan, and on the other hand, they disguised themselves to win away Jinzhou and hold it, mainly to prevent our backup. ”

Ao Bai said: "Today, on the second day of the third month, no matter what they are going to do, is five days not enough? How do you look like you just left? said that they were very busy, why did they have time to demolish Arthur City? ”

Dai Shan said: "I have tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of people have been kidnapped, and there are nearly 20,000 horses, and it is not easy to evacuate in five days." As for the reason for the demolition of Lushun, it is estimated that they left in two batches, and the second group of people who left were demolished in a panic, and it is more likely that they wanted to come again when the weather was warm, and demolished the city to facilitate their attack. ”

Ao Bai completely understood at this time, and said to Dai Shan: "Erbeile analyzes it all the way as if he has seen it in person, and he admires it, so what should I do next?" More than 20,000 reinforcements, plus the Jinzhou and Lushun garrisons, are all dead, and I don't know how the Great Khan will be angry. ”

Dai Shan said: "Only if it is reported according to the truth, in fact, the death of some insignificant people is nothing, the main thing is that the current Ming army has changed its strategy to make people a headache, they used to only want to occupy land, we can take the opportunity to kidnap people and kill their people." Now that they have captured the city and have begun to captive people, once the field advantage of our Jurchens is gradually lost, it will be a big trouble. ”

Not to mention how Daishan and Aobai dealt with the aftermath between Jinzhou and Lushun, but also said that after Nurhachi returned to Shenyang, he immediately sent people to the Mongolian Khalkha Department and severely reprimanded the Mongols for their negligent behavior of not protecting their daughters. It is said that after a reprimand, and then listen to the Mongols' explanation, everyone can laugh and pass, who knows that the messenger who came is too involved, and after expressing Nurhachi's anger, he added some impromptu play, and scolded the leader of the Kharga tribe, Zaisai, to the blood, and then the Mongols stopped doing it.

Who are the Mongols? That's the descendant of Genghis Khan, with the blood of the proud son of heaven flowing all over his body, where can he stand this? Although the Mongolians are now short of food and clothing, the overall decline of the West Mountain, but it is still far from the point of despair. In recent years, seeing the Jurchens defeat the Ming army one after another, the momentum is like a rainbow, so they have the intention of forming an alliance, but they have not thought of waging their tails to the Jurchens and begging for mercy.

This time, because she was careless and didn't take good care of Nurhachi's ninth princess, she was ashamed to let people scold two sentences, but it was too much for a messenger to dare to bully others. Seeing this messenger scolding people in a loud voice, Zaisai became more and more angry the more he listened, and after drinking a little wine, he was angry for a while, but he pulled out his knife and aimed it at this messenger, and Nurhachi's messenger was cut in two on the spot.

After cutting people, the wine woke up.

Looking at the dead people on the ground, then looking at the uncles and brothers around him who were staring at him dumbfounded, then thinking about the subordinates in his tribe who only drank and fought and beat their wives all day long, and then carefully thought about the dwindling money and food in the warehouse, Zai Sai panicked. He hurriedly consulted with his uncles and brothers to see if they could gather together to help each other defend against Nurhachi's imminent attack, for cutting off someone else's messenger in the steppe was tantamount to a declaration of war.

Before Zaisai could finish speaking, his uncle and brother immediately rejected all the demands he had spoken and unspoken, the current Khalkha tribe was too weak, and although the territory was large, it was all in the bitter cold land of the far north. Others are the wind blowing grass and seeing cattle and sheep, and they are wind blowing everywhere to see sand and dust, compared with other tribes, they are not as rich and powerful as the sweat department, and they are not as good as the Duoyan Department that can trade with the Ming Dynasty at any time next to the Great Wall.

At that time, someone pointed out a clear way for him, and now that he has cut people in half, if he can't find a way to put them together and save them, he should quickly send someone to ask for guilt, if he doesn't want to ask for guilt, he must hold on to it, and he should be a good man, and he should not drag others into the water. Seeing that his uncle and brother were so unrighteous, Zaisai didn't say anything, but quietly sent someone to contact Lin Dan Khan of the Khan Department to see if they could form an alliance to take care of each other.

On the side of the Ming army, as Dai Shan analyzed, on the 22nd day of the first lunar month, under the unified arrangement of the Military Affairs Yuan, 20,000 of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army, 20,000 special city repair troops led by Zhao Shuojiao, and Zu Dashou's 5,000 Marine Battalion. In order to unify and coordinate and train talents, Tianqi personally asked the Military Affairs Yuan to send Chen Qiyu from the Military Staff Department to unify the dispatch of these 45,000 people, and at the same time let Hou Sui return to Beijing to make other arrangements.

In the more than half a year since Chen Qiyu entered the staff, although he didn't talk much, many of his opinions were very pertinent, and he also had many unique insights on the usual arrangements, which left a deep impression on Tianqi, in order to avoid him becoming a person like Zhao Kuo and Ma Tan who could only talk on paper, Tianqi decided to let him go to the front line to exercise. Who knows that Chen Qiyu asked to meet the Apocalypse before he set off, and immediately after seeing the Apocalypse, the idea of building a city in Nanguan was immature, and his specific reason was that the Ming army did not have the strength to fight with the Jurchens in the field, and if he went to Nanguan to build a city and fight with the Jurchens now, the consumption of the Ming army would be far greater than the consumption of the Jurchens.

Tianqi listened to his words and quietly considered it, but Chen Qiyu's last sentence made Tianqi finally make up his mind, he said that Nanguan is surrounded by the sea on both sides, and if you want to build a city there, you can go at any time, there is no need to gamble when the conditions are not ripe now, if he is asked to coordinate the army this time, his main focus will be on captives and killing the enemy, so as to consume a lot of the enemy's living force. Tianqi thought it and immediately agreed to his idea, and ordered Mao Wenlong, Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and others to obey his arrangement.
