Xiongcheng Shenyang was taken by Jiannu so easily, which is really a sigh, but what is even more lamentable is still to come.

Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, sat in Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong, and when he heard that the Jiannu army was attacking Shenyang, he immediately mobilized a large army to the rescue, and he mobilized a total of four armies, totaling nearly 40,000 horses.

If these 40,000 horses can gather in Shenyang, then Nurhachi can only choose to retreat, otherwise, he will not only not be able to break through Shenyang, but also the danger of annihilation of the whole army, because his total of less than 60,000 horses at this time, and the total number of defenders and reinforcements in Shenyang is almost 60,000.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi was dismissed for no reason The disadvantages were reflected again, among the four people, there were three ways to be led by Xiong Tingbi's generals to lead the new army in Liaodong, they did not listen to Yuan Yingtai's command at all, Yuan Yingtai ordered them to rush to Shenyang as fast as possible to support, but they were advancing slowly and leisurely according to the ordinary marching speed, only the veteran Chen Ce led the four thousand Sichuan army white pole soldiers and three thousand Qi family troops marched for a day and a night, and rushed to the south bank of the Hunhe River outside Shenyang early the next morning.

It's a pity that Shenyang City has already been taken at this time, and Nurhachi is gathering a large army to prepare to attack Liaoyang.

The veteran Chen Ce was suddenly faced with a dilemma, either to resist on the spot, or to turn around and run.

If they resist on the spot, they can still get a chance to breathe, take a good rest, and recover their strength, but they only have a total of 7,000 horses, and they will definitely not be able to do nearly 60,000 Jiannu.

If they turn around and run, their physical strength can't keep up, because they have been running for a day and a night, and how long can they run again, and at this time, the Jiannu Iron Cavalry has begun to take shape, nearly 60,000 Jiannu at least 30,000 are cavalry, and no matter how good the two legs are, they can't run on four legs, even if they run, they can't run away.

What's even more worrying is that behind them there are 30,000 reinforcements led by the general soldiers Li Bingcheng, Zhu Wanliang, Jiang Bishi, etc., if they are defeated and retreated along the way, it will inevitably affect the other three routes and cause a rout.

Chen Ce summoned Tong Zhonghua, Qi Jin, Zhou Dunji, Qin Bangping and Qin Minping and other generals to discuss, and finally decided to fight with Jiannu in this Hunhe, even if it is death, he must die with dignity!

He divided the 7,000 men and horses into two parts, Zhou Dunji, Qin Bangping, and Qin Minping led 3,000 Sichuan troops to cross the river and form a formation on the north bank of the Hunhe River to meet the enemy.

The reason why he sent the three thousand Sichuan army white pole soldiers to cross the river to the north bank to meet the enemy is also no way, because it takes time to arrange the chariots and grain and grass carts they carry into a car formation, and the Qi family army has a lot of firearms loaded on the grain and grass carts, and it also takes time to unload and prepare ammunition.

Although Zhou Dunji, Qin Bangping, and Qin Minping knew that they were going to the north bank to die, they still led 3,000 white-pole soldiers straight to the north bank without hesitation, while Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghua, and Qi Jin quickly sorted out their vehicles, horses, and firearms on the south bank, and commanded the soldiers to set up a driving formation according to the military drills left by Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.

Nurhachi was gathering a large army at this time to prepare to attack Liaoyang, and thousands of Ming troops suddenly rushed over from the direction of Liaoyang, of course he knew, he really wanted to take advantage of the retreat of this Ming army to cover up and kill, but he didn't expect that these thousands of Ming troops not only did not retreat, but also sent thousands of people to cross the Hunhe River to form a formation!

Look at this posture, the comer is not good, he did not despise the enemy because the other party only has a few thousand people, he also knows that there are some elites in the Ming army, since people dare to cross the river with thousands of people, it proves that people are not soft persimmons that can be kneaded by others, so as soon as the three thousand white pole soldiers crossed the river to form a formation, he sent a fierce white flag cavalry to charge the battle.

This is the white flag cavalry is notoriously fierce, in the past field battles encountered the Ming army that are one-sided slaughter, unexpectedly, this time but planted a big heel fight, as soon as the two armies contacted, the white flag cavalry was the Sichuan army white pole soldier with a long blade in the hands of the person stabbed on the back of the horse.

This Sichuan army's white pole soldiers are even more fierce than the white flag cavalry, whether it is a person or a horse, as long as they rush up, they will all stab you into a sieve, and their formation is compact, with tacit understanding, brave in battle, not afraid of death, and the white flag cavalry will not be scattered at all.

Soon, the white flag cavalry was defeated, Nurhachi did not believe in this evil, and sent his most elite yellow flag cavalry, the result is still the same, the yellow flag cavalry can not break through the infantry phalanx, and soon defeated.

At this time, Nurhachi was dumbfounded, and the two most elite cavalry under his command went to attack the infantry phalanx composed of thousands of people, not only did they not annihilate them, but they also lost no less than 2,000 men and horses, what should I do now?

Just when he was at a loss, the traitor Li Yongfang proposed to him to buy the captured Ming army gunners in Shenyang City with a lot of money, bombard the Sichuan army's white pole soldier phalanx with the artillery in the city, and then rush up to annihilate it!

The phalanx of the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army is less than five miles away from the city wall, just within the attack range of the Hongyi cannon in the city, and the lethality of the Hongyi cannon is amazing, in the face of the dense infantry phalanx, one cannon goes down, at least ten people can be killed, and several Hongyi cannons on the city wall bombarded a few rounds, the three thousand Sichuan army white pole soldiers must be killed at least half, and then take advantage of the situation to cover the past, to annihilate it, it is easy.

Nurhachi accepted Li Yongfang's suggestion, put all the artillery in the city on the city wall, and asked people to carry out the silver looted from the city, and let out the words, those who are willing to help them open artillery to bombard the Ming army outside the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver each, and those who refuse to help will be pulled aside and cut down!

This trick is indeed ruthless enough, either to obtain a huge amount of wealth, or to be beheaded, in the face of the temptation of money and the threat of death, human nature has become extremely fragile, after cutting off a few loyal people who would rather die than yield, the remaining Ming artillery finally compromised, saying that they can't resist the temptation of money, saying that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, in short, they compromised, they set up artillery, and aimed the muzzle of the cannon at their comrades!

Just as the white pole soldiers lined up to meet the new round of attack of the Eight Banners, a burst of artillery roared on the Shenyang city wall, several shells fell in their ranks, the cannonballs with a large head fell down is a blood groove, a few rounds of shells fell, the white pole soldiers were bombarded scattered, heavy casualties, the Jiannu army took the opportunity to rush up, and finally crushed the brave and incomparable Sichuan army.

In the battle, the generals of the Sichuan army, Zhou Dunji and Qin Minping, were killed in battle, and the three thousand white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army were killed and wounded, and only a few people rushed across the pontoon bridge under the leadership of Qin Bangping and returned to the large array laid by the Qijia army on the south bank of the Hunhe River.

Chen Ce had given an order to the troops crossing the river that once the position on the south bank was consolidated, they could withdraw immediately, and judging from the record of the white pole soldiers who crossed the river, they should be able to complete the task of holding the enemy on the north bank, but what was unexpected was that it was not Jiannu who gave them a fatal blow, but their Shenyang comrades who rushed to the rescue day and night!
