It's not that Gualja Chobutai didn't think about how he would die, but he never thought that his death would be so simple and worthless.

As the grandson of Suwan clan leader Solguo, he admired his uncle Gualja Fei Yingdong the most since he was a child, the general who was known as the enemy of ten thousand enemies among the five founding ministers. Zhuo Butai almost grew up listening to the stories of his uncle's battles, so after he joined the army, he followed his uncle's example everywhere and wanted to be the second Gualja Fei Yingdong.

It's just that as the son of Huang Taiji's confidant Wei Qi, Zhuo Butai and his younger brother Ao Bai have become Huang Taiji's guards, and it is difficult to go out to lead the troops in person.

It wasn't until Huang Taiji continuously attacked the forces of the three major Baylors and finally began to monopolize the government that the 28-year-old Gualja Zhuobutai got the task of going out to lead the troops to fight for the first time.

Because of this, Gualja Zhuobutai thought about doing his job to the best of his ability, so as not to let others underestimate his ability.

However, his eagerness to seek merit really harmed himself and the subordinates he brought. As he approached the mouth of the Sancha River, Gualja Zhuobutai ordered his subordinates to rest and began to ask the fleeing villagers before he could get some insight into the villages at the mouth of the Sancha River.

Although the estuary is surrounded by mountains to the west, south, and north, the confluence of the Suifen River in the east and the confluence of the tributaries to the sea in the east have opened up a large river valley plain for the village, providing arable land and pasture for the villages to raise livestock.

The further east you go along the river, the flatter the place becomes, and apart from the woods and swamps, there are large meadows suitable for many animals. It is precisely because of the abundant natural conditions here that the villages at the mouth of the Sancha River are more prosperous than those in the valley to the north.

And walk along the Suifen River for 3 or 4 days, which is the twin cities where the Ming people are. In the past, the villages at the mouth of the Sancha River had to exchange some daily necessities, especially salt and iron tools, from the villages where these villagers lived.

But now, the villages at the mouth of the Sancha River would only go to Shuangchengzi to exchange trade, because the Ming people would not only buy their ginseng and furs at high prices, but also sell luxury items such as salt, iron, and even mirrors at low prices.

It was precisely because of the appearance of these Ming people that the village of these captives became an ordinary village from a middleman who traded between the Later Jin and the large and small villages in this area. Even they changed their habits, and instead of going to the Houjin merchants to buy items, they went to the Ming people to trade.

After listening to the words of these captives, Zhuo Butai was even more determined to uproot the village at the mouth of the Sancha River. In his opinion, these villagers at the mouth of the Sancha River have been completely encircled by the Ming people. If left unchecked, they will become spies of the Ming people infiltrating the east of Ningguta.

As he approached the village at the mouth of the Sancha River, a veteran soldier familiar with the local climate reported to Zhuo Butai that with the sweltering heat of the day, it was feared that a torrential rain would fall in one or two hours.

Zhuo Butai naturally knew that heavy rain during the attack on the village would increase the difficulty of his side, so he divided his team into three teams. He himself took fifty people to change into the clothes of the villagers, and pretended to be the villagers from the north who had fled and fled. The other team, 200 men, chased after his own group of fleeing villagers. The third group of 150 men made a detour to attack from the west of the village, leaving 20 men to manage the captured villagers.

Zhuo Butai's strategy was to take advantage of the defenselessness of the villagers in the village, the first team of people to seize the door, the second team of people to enter the village to kill, and when the villagers were attracted by the people and horses who rushed into the village, the third team of people attacked from the east, so that the villagers were attacked on their backs, so that they were in a mess and could only surrender with their hands tied.

Zhuo Butai's vision was very good, and the first few steps were perfectly executed. Although the village at the mouth of the Sancha River had built a wall and a ditch around the village, the villagers were apparently not in a state of war, and the villagers standing guard on the log wall did not close the gate or raise the alarm when they saw the fleeing people, but allowed them to approach the main gate on the north side of the village.

It wasn't until a second group of heavily armed Jurchen soldiers rushed towards the village that the sentry villagers woke up like a dream and sounded the alarm, but still no one came out and closed the gate.

Rushing through the trench, Zobutai did not hesitate to lead the charge into the village, by which time they had drawn their hidden weapons and were ready to slash any villagers who approached the gate.

But after rushing through the gate, Zhuo Butai immediately regretted it, thirty or forty paces in front of the gate, there had been a low wall covered with sacks, and he had been wondering how there could be such a strange low wall here.

When the sacks were removed from the other side, he finally knew what the low wall was about, and behind the wall were hidden a group of crouching archers, roughly estimated to be nearly a hundred. And in front of these archers were two small cannons that had been lit.

"It's a trap." Zhuo Butai reacted quickly, but when he and several warriors rushed in front of him tried to stop, they were forced to the front of the cannon and the archers by the flow of people behind them.

The lieutenant of the Ming army, who designed this trap, was standing on the tall wooden platform behind the archers at the moment, admiring the group of prey that rushed into the trap. The scattered bullets equipped with the two artillery pieces flew out of the breech under the action of air pressure under the * deflagration, and when they were about to approach Zhuo Butai and other Jurchen soldiers, they suddenly lost the restraint of the shell and turned into small projectiles that were difficult to see, and fiercely pierced into the ** of the front row of personnel led by Zhuo Butai.

Under such a close-range bombardment, it is difficult to reach even wearing triple armor, and these metal projectiles pushed out with * power. Not to mention the disguised villagers who have taken off their outer armor.

Of course, compared with the seven or eight warriors in the front row who died at that time, the Jurchen warriors in the second and third rows in the back who were hit in the body but did not die immediately were undoubtedly more unfortunate in such a situation.

Just as they fell to the ground and were unable to move, the archers on the Ming army's side had already begun to shoot continuously. The distance of 30 paces is exactly the most popular attack distance for archers.

Under the training of the Ming army, these were originally the best hunters in the mountains and forests, and now they have become extremely good warriors.

The bows and arrows they used were not weaker than those used by the Jurchens after they were improved by the Ming army. As for the arrows as consumables, they have actually become a cheap consumable in the Ming ** Instrument Prison, which has achieved industrial standardized production.

In the past, the reason why these savage Jurchens couldn't defeat the army sent by Houjin was that in addition to organization, it was even more difficult to compete with Houjin's soldiers in terms of weapons and equipment. But today, with the support of the Ming people, the savage Jurchens, who used the same armor and weapons as the Houjin soldiers, or even better weapons, easily defeated a Jurchen Eight Banner soldiers.

The Ming army once calculated for these savage Jurchens that most of them could shoot five or six arrows in one minute, and 12-15 arrows in three minutes of rapid fire. Compared to the highest record of two shots a minute for arquebuses, it is really much higher.

With just one round of archers' fire, the Jurchens who rushed into the village were all lying on the ground. At such a distance, they could not even turn around and flee.

At this time, the second team of people arranged by Zhuo Butai behind him ran to the edge of the trench. Looking at the tragic situation of corpses strewn all over the gate, this team of Jurchen soldiers involuntarily stopped.

After only hesitating for a moment, Niu Lu Ezhen, who led the team, had to order his subordinates to continue the attack, but the goal was not to capture this village, but to rescue Zhuo Butai, otherwise they, the soldiers from the Su Wan Army, would probably be unable to withstand the anger of Master Wei Qi.

It's just that the desperate efforts of the Jurchens did not bring any difference, and when Zhuo Butai decided to march to the mouth of the Sancha River, the defeat of the Jurchens was inevitable.

Before the Jurchens arrived at Suifenhe, information on their numbers, direction of advance, and daily marching speed had already been sent to Shuangchengzi by the savage Jurchens with Haidongqing. In this northeastern region, only this kind of bird of prey can soar in the sky, and as for pigeons and whatever, it is too easy to be caught by birds of prey.

When the guards of Shuangchengzi learned of the news, they sent a battalion to support the outpost at Sanchakou, and demanded that all the villages near Suifenhe be evacuated and relocated to the vicinity of Shuangchengzi.

In fact, the Ming garrison of Shuangchengzi did not want to clash head-on with the Jurchens. As long as the Jurchens don't break through the Suifen River, he prefers to be at peace with the Jurchens, so that he can bury his head in the development of the nearby reclamation business, after all, it is the spring ploughing season.

Moreover, in the eyes of this guard, the Jurchens' action to capture the savage Jurchens was just an excuse for him to recruit those savage Jurchens to move to the vicinity of Shuangchengzi and add some working population to Shuangchengzi.

With a battalion of 760 people, and more than 200 militiamen and hunters in the village of Sanchahe, there should be no problem in defeating the Jurchens, who captured 4 or 500 people.

Not to mention, the Ming army also set a trap in the village, killing the opponent's main general in the first engagement, causing the Jurchens to lose their overall command.

If it weren't for the Jurchen troops attacking from the east that attracted part of the attention of the Ming army, the corpse of the second Jurchen team, Ma Lian Zhuo Butai, who attacked from the front, would not have been able to recover it.

However, the efforts of the Jurchens were only like this, and as the main force of the Ming army in the village attacked, the Jurchens, who were inferior in numbers, could only reluctantly flee towards the mountains and forests in the northwest, and they did not even dare to return from the original route.

The Ming army quickly sent a team to rescue the savage Jurchens who were captured by the Jurchens, and then drove those Jurchen soldiers into the depths of the mountains and forests, and commanded the lieutenant of the Ming army to touch the wet parts of his head, looked at the sky and began to drop droplets, before ordering Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

The Jurchen army finally returned to Ningguta a month later, but they lost more than half of their companions, and even Zhuo Butai's body had to be buried in a hurry in a mountain forest.

The defeat in this battle cast a shadow over the Jurchens of Ningguta. They have been harassing the savage Jurchens all along, but from today onwards, I am afraid that they will be attacked by the wild of the savage Jurchens. Ningguta has truly become, the front line of the post-Jin.
