The more Nurhachi thought about it, the more terrible he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more incredible he felt, but after thinking about it, he couldn't always blame this matter on the spies of the Hercynian and East China Seas.

If nothing else, do they have this brain?

It's just that there is no evidence, and all this is just speculation, and it can't be implemented, and Nurhachi is helpless.

And it was at this juncture that he learned that his son had brought troops to crusade against him.

The anger of renunciation can describe Nurhachi's current mental activity.

It's really the anger of renunciation.

Fei Yingdong, who was not injured, asked to lead troops to meet the Qin army, and Fei Yingdong, who was getting better, pointed out that this was a suicide move, and now the entire Jianzhou Weiman can only make up 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if men, women and children go into battle together, it is not enough for the elite of the Qin army to kill, and they are not without the elite of the Qin army.

The amount is still forcibly sought.

"Even if we can't fight, we can buy a little time, use the terrain we are familiar with, and entangle with the Han people, during this time we will fight or withdraw, there is always a saying! Chu Ying doesn't really want to kill us, we may still have room for reconciliation! ”

Eyidu seemed to want to use himself to buy time for Nurhachi, but Nurhachi directly refused.

"I have lost He Heli and Hu Erhan, I don't want to lose anyone anymore, this rebel son is my son, this time, I should also let me kill him personally!"

Nurhachi planned to face the Qin army by himself and face Chu Ying head-on.

This request was undoubtedly rejected by everyone.

This is impossible, they will definitely not allow Nurhachi, who is the lord of the Jianzhou Wei Jurchen, to be in danger.

The injuries on Fei Yingdong and An Feiyangu have not yet healed, and the Jianzhou soldiers have not yet recovered from the shadow of the previous defeat, so there is really no chance of victory.

Rao is so, and Nurhachi does not intend to give up on this.

"No matter how you talk to Chu Ying, we must fight, otherwise, we will all die."

Fei Yingdong said: "The strength of the Han people is too strong, we can't beat it, it's not difficult to run to the east, the farther you run, the more the Han people can't catch up, as long as they get rid of them, they can't take us." ”

"Run? We live here, and where are we going to run away if we run away? ”

Anferyangu was very angry: "It's better to die here, and you can be considered a warrior!" ”

Seeing that everyone was arguing, they all stood up again.

"I will lead the troops to block the advance of the Han people, you take advantage of this time to determine the matter, whether to fight or flee must be determined."

Eyi looked at Nurhachi: "This time, I must go, and only I can go." ”

Nurhachi held Eyidu's hand tightly, leaning less, he let go of Eyidu's hand.

"Bring more guards with you, once the battle situation is urgent, I allow you to bring the guards back, don't worry about the others."

Eyi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

Yi Yidu turned around and left, leading his soldiers and horses in the direction of Fushun Pass, no matter how many Qin troops came, he had to use the terrain to block the attack.

He had seen the elite of the Qin army, he was lucky that he was intact in the previous battle, He Heli and Hu Erhan were unlucky, and they all died, and he didn't dare to guarantee that his luck this time would be better than before.

He led 3,600 soldiers lightly armed and rushed to the first line of defense in the Salhu area before the arrival of the Qin army.

At the same time, Nurhachi wrote a letter to Chu Ying, angrily accusing Chu Ying of being a rebel in the letter, and actually personally crusading against his father, telling him to hurry back and apologize.

Chu Ying tore up the letter and asked Nurhachi's messenger to go back and pass the word - prepare for war!

The battle was inevitable.

The Salhu area is mountainous and watery, the mountains and forests are dense, it is September at this time, the Liaodong region has not yet turned cold, the trees grow quite luxuriantly, it is a good place to hide soldiers.

Eyidu decided to adopt the method of arranging the suspicious formation, camped up and down the mountain, set up many flags, and created the illusion that the main force was gathered here, but only a few hundred soldiers were placed here.

The main force of 3,000 people was hidden by him, intending to wait for the Qin army to start attacking the "main force", and suddenly killed the Qin army by surprise.

He didn't expect to be able to defeat the 30,000-strong army of the Qin army in one fell swoop, but as long as he could win a small victory, he could delay the speed of the Qin army's advance, and then continue to block and continue to fight in various places, which would always delay enough time for Nurhachi to make a decision.

However, from the beginning when he led his troops to attack, his actions were locked by the secret agents scattered by the black water on the land of Liaodong, and Ma Chong also sent a large number of scouts to investigate the enemy before sending his troops, and he had already learned about the situation in the Salhu area.

"This place is mountainous and watery, there is plenty of water vapor, it is September now, it is very humid here, and there is more information that this place is prone to fog, not the best place to use firearms, gunpowder is very likely to be damp, once the gunpowder is damp, then the birds will not be prosperous, and the smoke and fire will also permeate the surrounding area, but may affect our own march, so I decided that this battle will not use birds, in addition to artillery attack, only use knives, guns, bows and crossbows!"

Ma Chong issued the first military order: "The Great Qin army has never relied on firearms for marching and fighting, and the swords, guns, bows and crossbows in our hands are not decorations!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals of the Qin army shouted in unison.

The tone was set, and there were no other bird-gun units except for three hundred dragoons armed with rifled flintlock pistols and light-inspired flintlock muskets to snipe enemy officers with precision.

Then the 30,000 Qin army, armed to the teeth, gathered as an army and marched out of Fushun Pass to Hetuala, and Chu Ying, who was familiar with the terrain, served as the guide of the whole army, and led the cavalry in front with Luo Rong.

This Qin army was completely different from the 110,000 Ming army twenty years later in another time and space, although the number was only 30,000, but the enemy it faced was not as strong as it was twenty years later.

The equipment is not the same, the Ming army can only use inferior armor and weapons, and cannot effectively protect their bodies at all, and even many generals die on inferior armor and armor.

And the Qin army can even wear armor with fine iron to protect vital parts, and the head, face, waist, and legs can be extremely protected, and the generals are covered in armor when they fight, which is not only strong, but also not as heavy as imagined.

At present, when the Ministry of Military Industry under the supervision of Xu Guangqi manufactures military armor on a large scale, it takes the Song Junbu armor as a model, innovates in technology, and after the production is completed, it is necessary to do special random inspections, shoot with arrows, use knives and shoot with muskets, stipulate quality grades, and directly hold the person in charge accountable once inferior products are found, and strive to maximize defense.

The armor rationed to the generals is made more carefully, and the higher the rank, the more senior craftsmen will tailor the armor by hand.

For generals of this level like Zhao Hu Liao Zhong Ma Chong, Xiao Ruxun directly stipulated that the armor was tailor-made and unique, and he did not hesitate to use the highest grade materials and cost at any cost, and the armor produced was not only relatively lightweight, but also extremely defensive, armed from head to toe.

The Ming army was short of food and salary, but the four routes of the march seemed to be fighting separately, not under each other, and the commander sat in the rear and knew nothing about the front line.

The Qin army only marched all the way, condensed into a fist, military spies were all over the land of Liaodong, and there were also a large number of Jurchen spies within the Jurchens, who were very familiar with the movements of the Jurchens, and the army commanded clearly and coordinated many times, and they had tacit understanding with each other.

Under such equipment and training, the combat ability and combat will of these 30,000 Qin troops far exceeded that of the Ming army twenty years later, and they would definitely get different results.

On the ninth day of September, the main force of the Qin army arrived in the Salhu area and encountered the first wave of defense of the Jianzhou army.

Although Ma Chong had obtained relevant information before this, after observing the defensive position of the Jianzhou Army with a clairvoyant mirror, he couldn't help but show a mocking smile.

"I can't read all the words, and I still learn to play tricks, and you want to deceive us with that kind of inferior camp? Are you kidding? Come on, herald artillery team, give me a bang! ”

Ma Chong gave the military order.
