Chapter 59: Nurhachi's Bad Luck

The battle of Sarhu was first fought by the Ming army on the Western Road.

At this time, the Ming army had a large number of veterans who had participated in the three major expeditions of Wanli, and they also had considerable combat effectiveness.

The commanders of several troops are also veterans who have fought for many years, and Nurhachi has no chance to be ambushed at all.

At that time, there were only 30,000 or 40,000 people in the Juniper Division of the Western Route Army. When he found out that all the main forces of Houjin were coming, he immediately adopted the means of confrontation. In the face of the Later Jin troops, the Ming army of the Western Road still succeeded in establishing a simple camp.

In order to gain time, Nurhachi's troops immediately launched an attack with heavy infantry as the main force.

The strength of the Ming army, which relied on the camp to fight, increased greatly, and the Houjin could not attack for a while.

At this time, luck sided with Nurhachi.

Heavy fog fell from the sky.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen could only shake his head and lament: "God bless Daming!" ”

In the fog, the arquebuses of the Ming army completely lost their power. Later Jin's heavy infantry took the opportunity to break the Ming army camp, and the Ming army was defeated in the chaos, and Juniper was killed in battle.

Defeating the Western Route Army, Nurhachi quickly turned to the Ming Army on the North Route with the help of cavalry mobility. And in the field battle, he defeated the Ming army of the North Road, which was Zhang Yunyi's unit.

Nurhachi's troops, after repairs, turned to the southern route.

The Liu Ling division of the Ming army on the southern road was almost completely annihilated by Nurhachi's army. There is too little information in Zhu Youzhen's hands to judge the specific battlefield situation of the Ming army on the South Road.

At this point, the Ming army of the four routes was defeated on three roads, only Li Rubai's troops were left to withdraw in a hurry, and the battle of Sarhu ended with the defeat of the Ming army.

During the study, Zhu Youzhen found that there was not much difference between the personnel of the Ming army on the west route and the Ming army on the north route and the formation adopted against the enemy.

Although the time of the collapse of the two Ming armies was almost the same, Zhu Youzhen keenly found that if there was no fog, the Western Route Army might not collapse, at least not so quickly.

What's going on? Is it just because of a humble camp?

The results of the study told Zhu Youzhen that it was. It's really just because of a humble camp. The camp seems to have a very large bonus to the defense of the Ming army.

Zhu Youzhen felt that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not as weak as he had calculated.

The low combat effectiveness shown by the Ming army should have been caused by being completely targeted by Nurhachi.

In the battle with the Later Jin, the shortcomings of the Ming army were magnified in a focused way, which caused such a huge combat error.

In the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming Army's Western Route Army's Juniper Division and the Northern Route Army's Malin Division were all defeated by Nurhachi in positional battles. The superiority of Nurhachi's troops over the Ming army can be seen.

I have to say that at this time, Nurhachi was already better than the blue, and the troops he built completely surpassed Li Chengliang, and he had obvious attributes of restraining the Ming army.

However, the Juniper Division of the Western Route Army was defeated by Nurhachi in the case of the siege. This battle contains a great deal of chance and is not a true reflection of the combat power of both sides. The village should have a very big bonus to the defense of the Ming army, and Zhu Youzhen felt that it was necessary to pay more attention to the performance of the Ming army.

Salhu was defeated, and the battlefield situation was fed back to Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli keenly saw that the Ming army could no longer fight with Houjin for the time being. He immediately activated Xiong Tingbi.

Zhu Youzhen had to be impressed by Wanli, his nominal grandfather.

Emperor Wanli's vision is very clever, and Xiong Tingbi does not live up to his expectations.

Xiong Tingbi quickly stabilized the situation in Liaodong, and he relied on the city fortifications to suppress Nurhachi's continued attack.

In Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi only harassed and exhausted Nurhachi before the new troops were trained. Never do the main field battle with Houjin.

Xiong Tingbi saw that Nurhachi's army was a bandit army, and it was not productive at all. As long as he can't grab anything, he can gradually weaken and eventually eliminate them.

For Xiong Tingbi's vision, Zhu Youzhen was very impressed.

Unfortunately, luck was once again on Nurhachi's side.

At this critical moment, the Wanli Emperor died.

Wanli died, Emperor Taichang succeeded to the throne, the Donglin Party came to power, and Xiong Tingbi was forced to resign, ruining the good situation in Liaodong.

Yuan Yingtai, a Donglin party member with low eyes, replaced Xiong Tingbi, and his series of stupid tricks buried Liaodong. Under the command of Yuan Yingtai, Shenyang fell in one day, and Liaoyang was lost after three days, which is stupid.

Liaoshen fell one after another, and the living environment of Houjin was greatly improved, and it had a certain strategic room for maneuver.

However, Zhu Youzhen found in the data: In the battle of Liaoshen, the Zhejiang army buried by Yuan Yingtai and leaned on the Great Wall by Xiong Tingbi gave Nurhachi a great blow in the battle of the Hunhe River.

In the battle of the Hunhe River, the troops of the Ming army participating in the battle were mainly the Zhejiang army.

The Zhejiang army was organized in the manner of Qi Jiguang, paying attention to strict formations, cooperating tacitly, using vehicle formations to strengthen defense, and long-range large-caliber muskets. The Zhejiang army's will to fight is also very tenacious.

Nurhachi's Eighth Banner Army was clearly unfit to fight with the Zhejiang army and suffered heavy casualties. It was completely relied on the advantage of a large number of people to drag down the Zhejiang army.

From the analysis of the description of the data, if it were not for the Liaoshen War, the commander of the Ming army was too rubbish, which led to the loss of the Ming army's advance and retreat, and there was a serious lack of cooperation between them, and they were completely in a state of scattered sand. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Nurhachi to win in Liaoshen.

Seeing this example, Zhu Youzhen let out a sullen breath.

"Good luck Nurhachi."

"However, I finally found Houjin's flaw, and I was about to scare the baby to death. I almost thought that the Houjin soldiers were hanging. ”

Obviously, the Eight Banners Army did not show any combat effectiveness against the sky when fighting against the Zhejiang army, which had a tight formation, strong defense, strong long-range firepower and tenacious will to fight.

The Eight Banners Army only has that kind of BUG-level combat power when fighting against the traditional Ming Army. This can only show that the traditional Ming army was completely restrained by the Eight Banners Army.

After studying this clearly, Zhu Youzhen finally put his mind at ease. When his mood relaxed, exhaustion immediately came to his heart, and he had not rested for a day and a night.

Zhu Youzhen went back to his bedroom and fell asleep.

In the capital, the turmoil is in full swing.

The silver car murder case can no longer be suppressed.

There were many deaths and injuries in this case, and it also involved the residence of King Xin. There are several yamen in the capital that are related to public security, from Dongchang and Jinyiwei to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division and the Criminal Department, and none of them dare to conceal it and not report it.

The case was quickly brought to light, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious. This case concerns his most beloved brother, and it is so bloody and brutal.

Daring to commit a crime at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that this case greatly damaged his great prestige.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious and ordered Yousi to solve the case within 5 days.

Several yamen involved did not dare to slack off, and went all out to investigate, and the capital suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs, and the city was in a panic.

On the lobby of the East Factory.

Wei Zhongxian was furious.

Gonggong Wei was very angry, the Donglin Party was driven away, and such a serious case occurred in the capital. Is this a deliberate provocation of Grandpa Wei, trying to make Grandpa Wei look good?
