Volume 1 Liaodong Shock

Chapter 4 Martyrdom in the Bloody Battle of the Tartars

Section 2: Disturbance and Convergence

February 27 in the forty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (the fourth year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven).

The Ming Army's four-way army has been set off for two days, due to the complex terrain between the various armies, the roads are unclear, and the communication is very inconvenient, so that the originally planned four roads marched in unison, but each road fought separately, and the speed of the march was uneven.

Hundreds of miles of mountains, forests and grasslands from Shenyang to Hetuala have been full of Jiannu rangers, and the movements of the Ming army have been completely exposed to Jiannu's field of vision, and there is no concealment at all.

Hetuala.

Nurhachi received information from the scouts: "According to the scouts' investigation, Liu Lingjun, the chief soldier of the Ming State, has arrived in Kuandian and is preparing to go north; The main force of the Ming army led by the general soldier Du Song has marched out of Fushun and the east, and the speed of its troops is very fast, and it has crossed the remaining three Ming armies, forming a lone army to go deep. ”

After reading the information, Nurhachi laughed: "This juniper is also a tiger general, it seems that he is in a hurry this time, and he dares to go deep alone, is he in a hurry to send him to death?" ”

"Haha! Destroy Juniper's Western Route Army first! Huang Taiji said.

"Khan Amma, Erchen is willing to lead the army to attack!" Dai Shan pleaded for help.

The rest of the banner owners and Baylor also shouted and asked for battle.

Nurhachi waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. I know that you are eager to fight, but don't forget that Liu Lingbu is also a strong force, and you should not take it lightly. ”

After thinking for a while, Nurhachi said: "Erbeile, you send a cadre general to lead the five hundred soldiers and horses stationed south of Xingjing (Hetuala) of the Zhenglan Banner, and go to delay the march of Liu Ling's troops. Remember! It's just that it's sluggish, Liu Lingbu is very good at fighting, don't fight hard. ”

Amin said, "Slave Command! ”

Nurhachi continued: "Since the Ming army has given our army a chance, then the main force of my Eight Banners will concentrate its forces and take advantage of the slow progress of several other Ming armies to meet the Western Route Army led by Juniper and defeat the main force of the Ming army first!" It doesn't matter how many ways he comes, I'll only go all the way! The whole army assembled in the direction of Fushun Pass. ”

"The retainer (minion) obeys the order!"

At the same time as Nurhachi deployed his troops, Liu Ling led his army to Kuandian and joined the 13,000 Korean reinforcements that were already waiting there. More than 30,000 troops camped and rested, preparing to move north the next day.

At night, Liu Ling convened the generals of the Ming army to discuss the matter, Liu Zhao and Zu Tianding, Xu Jiusi, Kang Yingqian, Yao Guofu four veterans, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Wen Poyu, Li Tianhao five fierce generals are all in the account.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Ling said: "Since the Korean reinforcements have been gathered, the whole army will go north tomorrow, and you can talk about and discuss any ideas and strategies tonight." ”

Zu Tianding preemptively said at this time: "General Town, those people in North Korea can also be called reinforcements?" A bunch of beggars! Don't you see that there are many soldiers with bamboo guns and sticks among those North Korean soldiers! How can such reinforcements fight? ”

Liu Yunwei sat on the side and did not speak, but his face was not very good, and he looked very disappointed, obviously he did not expect the North Korean army to be so unbearable.

Liu Ling also sighed lightly and said: "North Korea has been weak for a long time, and it is not easy to send troops to aid in this battle with the friendship of the clan, so don't be too demanding." ”

Liu Zhao said: "Father, that's true, but after the war with Jiannu, these Korean soldiers can't be entrusted with important tasks. ”

"Well, I think so too." Liu Ling said, and after speaking, he saw what Liu Yunwei was thinking, so he asked: "Yunwei, you can also tell me, what do you think about this battle?" ”

Liu Yunwei said: "Grandfather, I'm wondering where the rest of the three-way army is at the moment, and how Jiannu will respond. ”

"No matter how Jiannu responds, he will be in a hurry this time. The four-way army, if Jiannu's people meet it separately, how many people can there be along the way? Either way is enough for Jiannu to drink a pot. Yao Guofu said excitedly.

Liu Yunwei said: "Uncle Yao, what I'm worried about is this, what if Jiannu concentrates his forces and storms all the way? In that case, no matter which way the slave is built, the army will be superior. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the tent was taken aback.

"Probably not, right? In that case, Jiannu is not afraid of the rest of the three ways to attack around? Yao Guofu said with some hesitation.

"What can Jiannu have to lose? Jiannu's population and wealth are not worth mentioning at all compared to winning this war! Liu Yunwei said.

Liu Ling's face was also heavy, and he said: "I was worried about this at the beginning, but Lord Yang insisted on his opinion, and the strategy of the big war has been approved by the imperial court, and it cannot be changed, so I can only hope that the slave chieftain will meet it separately." ”

Everyone discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a suitable plan, so they could only take one step at a time.

It was night, and many of the generals of the Ming army tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

The next day, Liu Ling led his troops to set out, and after more than 30,000 troops set off from Kuandian, they went north along the Dongjiajiang River (now Hunjiang, Jilin). After a day's march, the army reached a mountain forest in the territory of Nuanyang Fort, and Liu Ling saw that the soldiers were already exhausted, so he ordered to camp on the spot.

The territory under the jurisdiction of Nuanyang Fort is all dangerous deep mountains and old forests, and the roads are very difficult to walk, and there are almost no roads in some places. The Ming army only traveled less than half a day's journey in this day, and this was the result of the desperate supervision of Liu Ling and other generals. As for the 13,000 Korean reinforcements, by the time they set up camp, nearly 1,000 had already been left behind.

Liu Ling stood on a hill, looking at the mountains in the north, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Liu Yunwei arranged the Hanwei camp, he came to Liu Ling's side and said angrily: "Grandfather, it's too unusual!" It's only been a day, and those North Korean soldiers have lost a thousand people! By the time we get to Hetuala, we won't run out! ”

Liu Ling looked at the angry Liu Yunwei and said: "Yunwei, as a general, no matter when, don't let anger overwhelm your mind, in that case, you can't win the war." ”

Liu Yunwei exhaled deeply twice and said, "Yes, grandfather, I wrote it down." ”

Liu Ling nodded and said: "Those North Korean troops were originally here to strengthen their strength, and I didn't point out that they could come in handy at all, and it would be good if they could pick up cheap and replenish the number of people behind the army." ”

When Liu Yunwei heard this, he no longer paid attention to the Korean army, but said: "Grandfather, there is another thing, our Eastern Route Army is far away in the southeast of Hetuala, it is the farthest road, and it is difficult to travel, today it is already twenty-eight, I am afraid that the date of the army will be delayed if we go on like this." ”

"Well, maybe. But even if the date is delayed, we can't just rush to the road, we must be vigilant. Liu Ling pointed to the mountains and fields in front of him and said: "Yunwei, look, this boundless mountains and dense forests, suitable for ambushes abound, and a careless person will be defeated and killed." ”

Liu Yunwei looked ahead, also with a solemn expression.

At this moment, a trumpet cannon sounded in the distance. Immediately afterwards, I saw two people running back all the way, and the bright red and dazzling red flag was held high.

"Jiannu is here!" Liu Yunwei shouted loudly.

Liu Ling said suspiciously: "Why did Jiannu come here?" ”

Seeing the alarm, the Ming army and the Korean army all took action and urgently lined up, the carts were pushed to the front, the musketeers lined up with the carts, lit the arquebuses and prepared to shoot, the infantry gathered around Shangguan and began to form a formation, and the archers assembled behind the army formation.

Liu Ling came to the formation, looking at the dust in the distance with a solemn expression: Jiannu came here, it is nothing more than two situations, one is to want to destroy his own Eastern Route Army first, but considering that Jiannu should not let the most threatening main force of the Ming army not fight, and run so far to fight himself, that is the second situation: Jiannu is delaying his marching progress!

Thinking of this, Liu Ling said: "Yunwei, send cavalry to meet it!" ”

Liu Yunwei didn't expect his grandfather to suddenly give the order to attack, and he looked a little stunned, but he still responded. With a wave of his hand, the five hundred guards turned over and got on their horses, and Liu Yunwei was actually ready to attack himself.

"Brothers, kill the Tartars! Rush with me! ”

Liu Yunwei rushed out of the car formation first, followed by five hundred erlang. Five hundred and one horses galloped, like five hundred and one tigers descending the mountain, unstoppable!

In the distance, the Blue Banner Jia La'e Zhen Ge Zhuha led five hundred Blue Banner Iron Cavalry approaching the Ming army's chariot formation.

This time, Ge Zhuha came to delay the action of Liu Ling's troops on the orders of Amin. At first, Ge Zhuha didn't take this task to heart, but before leaving, his own in-laws, a Niu Lu Ezhen with a red flag, came to him and said: "There is a fierce general in Liu Ling's department called Liu Yunwei, be sure not to fight against him, then Liu Yunwei's subordinates are all demons!" ”

Ge Zhuha laughed after hearing this, and didn't take it to heart, but said that his in-laws were frightened by the Ming army, and even spoke coldly to him between words, thinking that the person with the red flag was defeated by the weak Han people, which was a shame for the Dajin warriors.

At this moment, Ge Zhuha led five hundred iron horsemen to gallop all the way, and it was the time to be in high spirits. Suddenly, the front was dusty, and gradually, a red Daming battle flag came into view, and a big flag with the word "Liu" next to it was fluttering in the wind. I saw hundreds of Ming army iron horsemen roaring over, giving people a full sense of oppression.

Ge Zhuha was taken aback, he didn't expect the Ming army to take the initiative to fight, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart: "This Ming army really dares to fight, can it be said that my useless in-laws are telling the truth?" ”

The two iron horsemen running at full speed were approaching rapidly, and the seemingly long distance was approaching in an instant, Ge Zhuha saw that the number of the Ming army on the other side was about the same as his own, and thought in his heart: "It doesn't matter what Yunwei he is, let's beat him first!" So that Mingren knows the stakes of my Dajin Iron Ride, and he doesn't dare to take a step forward! ”

"Accelerate, accelerate, kill at full speed!" Ge Zhuha ordered loudly.

The five hundred Jiannu immediately increased their speed again, like ten thousand horses galloping, and killed the attacking Ming army.

Liu Yunwei looked at Jiannu who was killing at full speed, sneered in his heart, and said secretly: "It's a good time!" ”

"None of them are left! Kill! ”
