Nurhachi stood up, clapped his palms heavily and said: "Now that King Ben Khan is still unwilling, I don't believe that our Jurchen warriors can't beat the weak Ming people, although they have firearms, but we have courage." Weapons depend on whose hands they have, and these cowardly Ming people, who can only rely on weapons to fight, even if they hold weapons far superior to ours, are just like men with burning sticks, and will be killed by us in a river of blood. After turning the outside of Liaoyang into the next Salhu and defeating the Ming army, we will have enough food, and after spending this winter, Liaodong will still be the world of our Jurchens. ”

All the generals shouted together: "Defeat the Ming army, Liaodong is ours." ”

Despite this, some people are actually not very appreciative in their hearts, and Xiang Yuetuo is a little worried, will such an all-or-nothing gamble really work? The eighth uncle said that there was no way to defeat the Ming army by relying on the Jurchens alone, and now not only the Liao people have fled badly, but the Han army in Liaodong is also a little uneasy. It is impossible for the Ming army outside the city to have only those 8,000 people, and whether Houjin can rise up the courage to fight with the Ming army under the current defeat, Yue Tuo is not very optimistic in his heart.

If this battle is lost, it will really be another Salhu, but it will be the Salhu of the Great Golden Soldier. Although he understood that his father was only cowardly, that might be the only path that Daikin could choose. It's a pity that the Great Khan wants to make the last bet to win or lose.

If you win, it's just a little more time to survive, and if you lose, you won't even have a chance to turn over. If the eighth uncle is here, there will definitely be a way, but unfortunately, the eighth uncle was captured by the Ming army.

Nurhachi is full of confidence, he is already self-made, and if he loses, he will just start all over again. At least the foundation for coming back now is much stronger than it was back then.

He ordered: "Tomorrow we will start to feed the soldiers, and three days later, when the Ming army begins to attack the city, we will go out of the city to fight the Ming army, and the success or failure will be in one fell swoop." ”

The next morning, someone came to report that more than a dozen Han soldiers had come out of the city with ropes last night. Nurhachi was furious, and asked the Han generals who led the team to be arrested, cut them with a knife, and hung their heads on the city. Yue Tuo didn't listen to his persuasion, and Nurhachi kicked him and scolded: "I learned from your eighth uncle, I was indecisive, and I achieved something big." ”

So the next night, the Han army began to flee in an organized manner, and more than 2,000 people fled in one night. Lu Xiangsheng asked the escaped Han army to form a team and issued them a certificate, telling them to go to Anshan Post on their own first.

The Han army met Mangui's Fifth Division in the back twenty miles, and saw the huge camp of more than 10,000 people, the Han army secretly sighed, sighing that they had surrendered well, otherwise the first people to die at the beginning of the war would definitely be the Han army who were used as cannon fodder by Houjin.

And after Nurhachi got the news, he actually smiled and said: "It's better to leave if you want to go, so as not to drag us back during the big war." ”

Yue Tuo said cautiously, "Some people from the Yehe tribe also ran away. ”

Nurhachi rebuked: "What Yehebu, Yehebu no longer existed when we killed Buyangu. Since they don't want to enter Jianzhou, let them go and be a lackey for the Ming people, anyway, I don't want to be a lackey anymore. ”

By the morning of the fourth day, there were more than 4,000 Han troops in Liaoyang City, and more than 1,000 Jurchens who were not from Jianzhou had escaped through the city walls and were thrown into the tents of the Ming army camps outside the city. Lu Xiangsheng didn't have time to screen them one by one, so he asked them to go to Anshan Station first. If this battle is won, the fake surrender will also become the real surrender, and it doesn't matter whether it is screened or not. If the Ming army is defeated, then who cares if they surrender really or fakely?

That morning, after breakfast had been eaten, the army began to pack up their tents, lined up in line, and prepared to attack the city. At this time, the south gate of Liaoyang was wide open, and Houjin soldiers walked out of the city in a steady stream.

Lu Xiangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, at least the field battle was smaller than the siege losses. But the staff officer's words made his heart lift again. The staff officer said: "Division commander, Jiannu seems to be a little strange. ”

When he looked closely, he always felt that today's Jiannu was indeed a little different from the past. Seems a little bolder? Their military appearance is a little more solemn? Less common screams on weekdays? He wiped his eyes, looked at it for a while, and said, "The old slave is going to fight hard." ”

He called the herald and said, "Go and inform General Man, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and defeating Jiannu in one fell swoop is today." You told him, I don't send a signal, don't come forward in the fifth division, since the old slave wants to fight hard, then I'll give him a chance. I want Jiannu to retreat when he sees our army in the future. ”

Lu Xiangsheng had already understood Nurhachi's thoughts, and he admired the courage of the old slave at the end. However, he understood that this was already the best solution that Jiannu could come up with. If they abandon Liaoyang and flee, then the future Jiannu will really face an embattled situation, and maybe even North Korea will dare to argue with them.

He rode to the front of the battle and said, "Brothers, today can be said to be the most important battle in Liaodong. The old slave is on the opposite side, and our national hatred and our family hatred will be avenged on the old slave. We have to fight the enemy on the opposite side with firearms, bayonets, fists, and teeth, so that they know that we are not easy to bully. China has a reason to turn the barbarians on the opposite side into corpses to pay tribute to the martyrs who died in various battles in Liaodong. What is our slogan? ”

The soldiers shouted together: "Kill slaves, kill slaves, kill slaves!" ”

The neat roar made Yue Tuo's hand tremble on the other side. The mood is getting worse and worse. Nurhachi, on the other hand, laughed wildly and said, "King Ben Khan is here, see who is going to kill me today." ”

After the Guards camp was removed, a column of cannons lined up in front of the formation. Some of the shells were new flowering shells. Lu Xiangsheng wanted to surprise the Houjin soldiers, so he had not used it before, and now, every cannon is equipped with this kind of flowering shell.

Although the old slave has gone crazy in his heart, he has been in battle for a long time, but he also knows that it is not wise to rush forward at this time. Houjin soldiers continued to pour out of the city gates, and then separated along the moat to both sides.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "The Fifth Division of our Guards Army is twenty miles behind us, and it has begun to come to Liaoyang. Our 1st Division wants to show our allies why we are 1st Division. ”

The soldiers shouted: "The 1st Division is mighty! The Guards are mighty! ”

The Houjin army finally stopped pouring out, and Lu Xiangsheng took a look, there should be nearly 20,000 people, but half of them should be the Han army.
