Ji Qingwen saw that his attitude had changed greatly, and his tone of voice became much more sincere, so he sat down again and said, "I have something important to find the descendants of the Qi family's army, but you refuse to be thousands of miles away, which is really speechless." ”

Chen Wenzhao apologized and said: "I don't know the identity and origin of Lord Ji, so it's a bit rude, please forgive me." I don't know why Lord Ji wants to find the descendants of the Qi family's army, and please give advice. ”

"I'm going to recruit an elite division. Teacher Sun said that the team either doesn't bring it, but if you want to bring it, you can bring the best and the strongest. Teacher Sun also said that in the south of the Yangtze River and even in the whole country, only the Qi family army is the premier brave division in terms of combat effectiveness, discipline and style. Therefore, I was asked to find the descendants of the Qi family army to organize this group training. ”

Ji Qingwen praised Qi Jiajun openly and secretly in these few words, although it was a slight exaggeration, it was not bragging.

When Chen Wenzhao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "After so many years, I didn't expect Old Inspector Sun to remember my Qi Jiajun, alas, ......"

Ji Qingwen heard that his attitude was lukewarm, so he asked tentatively, "You mean you agreed to help me recruit a group to practice?" ”

Chen Wenzhao raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Qingwen, and said lightly: "What's the use of me agreeing?" Thinking that in the first year of the Apocalypse, there was a bloody battle in the Hunhe River, and the Qi family army had been wiped out, and now only I, a deserter, was left to survive in the world, what was the use of Lord Ji looking for me? ”

"The Battle of the Hun?" Ji Qingwen heard that he still didn't agree, but he became interested in this matter, so he asked, "What is the battle of the Hunhe River?" ”

Chen Wenzhao's eyes suddenly glowed, and then dimmed again, and said: "The incident of eight years ago, everyone has long forgotten it, and no one in this world has mentioned it anymore. Seeing that Lord Ji is young, it seems that he may not know about this bloody battle! ”

So Chen Wenzhao began to talk about the battle that took place in the first year of the Apocalypse.

It turned out to be the forty-seventh year of Wanli, after the first battle of Sarhu, the Jurchen Nurhachi rose, and within two or three years, most of Liaodong fell, and the Ming army's defense line repeatedly retreated. Later, the imperial court used Xiong Tingbi to rectify the military affairs of the Northeast, which achieved great results for a while, and gradually recovered the lost territory.

However, at this moment, the eunuch party in the DPRK was prosperous, and Xiong Tingbi was dismissed from office, and Yuan Yingtai was replaced as the governor of Liaodong.

Although Yuan Yingtai is not a corrupt official or a corrupt official, he also has some experience in mentioning government affairs, but he knows nothing about military affairs. He didn't know that the enemy was strong and I was weak at that time, and still thought that Nurhachi was just a grass bandit, so he asked for an order to mobilize the elite Sichuan army and Zhejiang army to go north to Liaodong to find an opportunity to fight Nurhachi head-on.

Most of these 5,000 Sichuan troops are natives from the southwest, and the 3,000 Zhejiang troops are the descendants of the Qi family's army.

Nurhachi was really good at using troops, and he was clever and resourceful, with the assistance of Li Yongfang, Fan Wencheng and others, taking advantage of his own light horses and fast horses, he pulled the Ming army to both sides of the Hunhe River, and successfully separated the two Ming armies of Sichuan and Zhejiang into east and west.

And so a bloody battle began.

Nurhachi was the first to attack the Sichuan army.

The Sichuan army is the army that requisitioned the Tusi of the Qin family in Sichuan, and is famous for the name of "white pole soldiers", which is not only equipped with a personal short knife, but also equipped with a Sichuan white pole spear that is more than a zhang long, specifically restraining the cavalry.

Nurhachi lightly advanced the enemy, thinking that a charge could defeat the enemy, but unexpectedly in the arms of the Sichuan army, although the Eight Banners cavalry was brave and good at fighting, but in front of the white pole soldiers, they did not have the upper hand at all, and suffered heavy losses after several charges, but they still could not shake the Sichuan army's defense line.

However, at this moment, Li Yongfang bought the captured Ming gunners with a lot of money, collected more than ten artillery pieces scattered on the battlefield, turned the gun head and bombarded the Sichuan army fiercely.

The Sichuan army had more than enough solid defense but insufficient flexibility, and under the heavy artillery bombardment, it had lost more than half of it in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the opportunity, Nurhachi launched a surprise attack with the whole army, and finally defeated the Sichuan army.

After the defeat of the Sichuan army, Nurhachi calmly crossed the river and turned to attack the Zhejiang army.

At this time, the number of Jurchen soldiers and horses was more than three times that of the Zhejiang army. However, the reputation of the Qi family army was outside, and Nurhachi did not dare to rush to attack, so he repeated the old trick and shelled the positions of the Zhejiang army across the river. Fortunately, firearms are also the strong point of the Zhejiang army, and the two armies bombarded each other, but they did not have much upper hand.

So in order to win quickly, Nurhachi concentrated his superior forces and attacked the Zhejiang army from three directions.

The Zhejiang army is still very tenacious in combat, relying on the car battalion, and the arms such as firearms, muskets, spears, and short knives cooperate with each other, and do not fall behind for a while. However, the Jurchens mainly mounted archery, and hand-to-hand combat with the infantry-based Zhejiang army, no longer showed any advantages, and the battle situation was slowly developing in favor of the Ming army.

However, at this time, when the Jurchen reinforcements arrived, Nurhachi changed the formation, ordered the whole army to retreat, and began to fire arrows at the Zhejiang army.

At this moment, the Zhejiang army has been fighting with the Jurchens for a whole day, and it has really reached the point where people are sleepy and lacking horses, and they are desperate for ammunition and food. Qi Jin, the chief soldier who led the Zhejiang army, saw that his brothers were about to be shot to death by the Jurchens, so he simply gritted his teeth and organized the whole army to charge to the death, and finally fell into the Jurchen soldiers and horses, and died in a bloody fight.

In this bloody battle of the Hunhe River, the Ming army with 8,000 troops, and more than 10,000 Jurchen elite field duel, although the whole army was annihilated, but also caused thousands of casualties among the Jurchens, and more than ten Jurchen generals, thousands of officers and other officers were captured, and Nurhachi called the first bloody battle since the Liaodong uprising.

Everyone listened to Chen Wenzhao's introduction to the Battle of Hunhe, and they all sighed with emotion.

After a long time, it was Li Yan who opened his mouth and asked: "I have also read some field history notes about the war in Liaodong, and I remember that after the battle of Hunhe, Yuan Yingtai led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Nurhachi, which shows that Yuan Yingtai's subordinates should have follow-up military strength at that time, why not take the opportunity to enter the battlefield when our army is anxious about the war with the enemy, and it must be able to turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop." ”

Chen Wenzhao glanced at Li Yan heavily, with a painful expression on his face, and said, "It's been eight years, and I haven't figured this matter out yet. Don't hide it from you, the people who were sent out by General Qi to ask Yuan Yingtai for support were either others or me. I was in great pain and knelt down to ask for help, but Yuan Yingtai's gang just didn't send a single soldier, and let our army be surrounded by three or four times my Jurchen regiment and annihilated. But then he personally led the army out of the city to fight the enemy, and he didn't seem to be a greedy person who was afraid of death, which was really strange......"

Over there, Li Yuanyin said lightly: "General Chen, do you really want to know why Yuan Yingtai didn't send troops at that time?" ”

When Chen Wenzhao heard this, his face changed greatly, and a pair of eyes stared directly at Li Yuanyin, and he looked at the commander of the brocade guard all over, and asked, "Do you know the reason for this?" Don't talk about it yet! ”

Li Yuanyin settled down and said: "At that time, I had already invested in the Jinyi Guard, and I was following my predecessors to investigate the case. Although Yuan Yingtai was dead at that time, many of his masters and clerks around him escaped and interrogated them in detail, so they naturally knew the truth of the matter......"

"Don't talk about this uselessness. Tell me quickly, why didn't Yuan Yingtai send troops to help me at that time? Chen Wenzhao interrupted Li Yuanyin's words unreasonably.

Li Yuanyin sighed and said: "The Sichuan army is the Sichuan Tusi going north, and the military discipline is loose and unruly, and Yuan Yingtai can't control it. Although the Zhejiang army has strict military discipline, the military salary is extremely high, and the salary of each soldier is four times that of other troops, and Yuan Yingtai is also difficult to supply. Therefore......"

"So this surnamed Yuan deliberately let these two strong teams consume with the Jurchens?" Ji Qingwen almost shouted and said this.

Li Yuanyin nodded indifferently and said, "Judging from the information from the investigation, this is indeed the case!" ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he suddenly clenched his fists, slammed the table hard, and scolded angrily: "It should be killed, it should be killed, such a person should be executed by Ling Chi and the Nine Clans!" ”

Li Yuanyin said: "At that time, Jinyiwei was also convicted of such a crime. However, Yuan Yingtai had already been killed, and he needed to boost the morale of the front, so the court could only pretend to be confused, and add the dead Yuan Yingtai to the knighthood and reward his son......"

Ji Qingwen couldn't listen to it anymore, and scolded: "The court can't fight, but the ability to fight with the mud is first-class." Wouldn't it be more able to boost the morale of the front line by such a fighter who delayed the fighter plane, opened the coffin and whipped the corpse, and passed the head to the nine sides? General Chen Wenzhao, do you think this is the truth? ”
