Chapter 5 The Heroic Tragedy of the Battle of Liao Shen

Section 12 The Bloody Battle of the Hunhe River (10)

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Jiannu's artillery fire continued to fall in the camp of the Qi family's army, covering the entire camp in a blink of an eye, and there were cannons flying everywhere, and the soldiers of the Qi family army could only hide themselves and support them with their own flesh and blood.

Nurhachi looked at the scene in the distance, his heart was full of happiness, and said to Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and others around him: "After the artillery is over, the two red flags, two white flags, and two blue flags will continue to take turns to fight, and I must gather the Qi family army here today!" ”

Dai Shan, Amin and the others all turned dark when they heard this, and their hearts were even more tingling, the warriors in their banners had already suffered heavy casualties, and even exceeded the losses in the battle of Salhu, but the battle situation in front of them was still stalemate, how many casualties did they have to bear?

Huang Taiji pondered: "The Qi family's army has no gunpowder, although it will take some effort to gather and annihilate it, but its troops are already certain to die; However, now that our Eight Banners army has suffered a lot of casualties, what if we fight against those 30,000 Hanwei troops in the future? Will I be able to win at that time? Even if the battle is won, how many warriors will need to be lost? ”

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but shudder.

At this moment, the artillery in front of the Jiannu formation finally stopped, and Li Yongfang sent someone to report that the artillery needed to stop firing and wait for heat dissipation. Nurhachi immediately ordered Dai Shan to lead two red flags to attack, and the armies of each banner continued to attack the camp of the Qi family army in turn.

The bloody battle is unfolding again!

Qi Jin looked at the two red flag Jiannu who were getting closer and closer, and knew that the Qi family army was bound to be defeated in this battle, so he simply shouted: "Soldiers! My Qi family army has fought for the country for decades, and I am glorious! Today, in this desperate situation, our generation should fight to the death to serve the country, after this war, there is no Qi family army in the world, we do not live up to the monarch, we do not live up to the people, and death is death! All in one! ”

"The mountains are shaking!"

At this time, Chen Ce and the others had completely abandoned the defense of the east, west, and south, and only planted many banners to confuse Jiannu, and concentrated all the remaining forces of the Qi family army to the north, preparing to fight to the death with the Jiannu army!

Tong Zhonghua, Chen Ce, Zhang Mingshi, Yuan Jianlong, Deng Qilong and others also led their families and guards to the north, and the remaining more than 100 white-pole soldiers also joined the battle group.

Dai Shan led the army to kill! I saw that 20,000 Jiannu troops flocked to the north side of the Qi family army camp, and the soldiers of the Qi family army who had already formed a mandarin duck formation were mixed together.

Qi Jin took the lead, leading his own soldiers to kill back and forth, wielding the Qi family knife in his hand like a sharp lightning, and the Jiannu around the knife had no reason to survive, and they turned into dead souls under the knife. Zhang Mingshi, Yuan Jianlong, Deng Qilong and others also fought bloody battles with all the soldiers, and would rather die than retreat, especially the more than 100 white-pole soldiers, who were even more fearless of death when they killed Jiannu, and it can even be said that these white-pole soldiers were begging for death, and they exchanged their lives with Jiannu, without caring about their own lives at all, and killed the two red flag Jiannu around them; The Mandarin Duck Formation of the Qi Family Army is also extremely sharp, although the strength of the Jiannu is far superior to that of the Qi Army, but because the Mandarin Duck Formation is composed of a team of eleven people, the attack is the same attack, and the code is the same defense, and the situation of fighting more and less can often be formed in an area, which makes it difficult for the Jiannu to parry.

Only a moment later, the two red banners were defeated, and Daishan hastily commanded the defeated troops to retreat. But before the soldiers of the Qi family army had time to catch their breath, they saw the 20,000 troops of the two white flags killing again.

"Wearing iron armor and carrying a long knife. The battle with the son is long.

Fight with the enemy, die and live together. Fight with your son, and your heart will not be slack.

Step on the swallow and chase the beard. Fight with the son, and sing fearlessly. ”

The majestic battle song sounded again, the soldiers of the Qi family army sang generously and sadly, and met the battle angrily, no one retreated, no one was timid, and the more than 2,000 people in the whole army all waved their swords forward, and the two white flag armies that killed in front of them became a group. At this time, the soldiers of the Qi family army were like a low, but extremely strong embankment, firmly blocking the two white flag armies, no matter how the stormy waves raged and how violent they were, they still couldn't take half a step further!

Huang Taiji and Azig looked at the battle situation in front of them in the formation, their faces were full of horror, and they couldn't believe that the Qi family army in front of them was so strong and tenacious. In the face of the onslaught of twenty times the enemy's turns, in the face of the bombardment of dozens of artillery, in the face of more than half of the casualties, and in the face of the desperate situation without any reinforcements, these Qi family troops still fought to the death, without the slightest sign of defeat, and were still like a killing machine, constantly reaping the lives of the two white flag warriors!

At this moment, a trace of timidity swelled up in the hearts of Huang Taiji and Azige, and at the same time, a trace of happiness swelled up: "Fortunately, the Qi family army only has a few thousand, otherwise it will ......"

As soon as they thought of this, the two of them remembered another name: Liu Yunwei! Hanwei Army!

In an instant, Huang Taiji and Azig's faces turned pale, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw deep fear in each other's eyes.

Suddenly, the two of them heard bursts of cheers from the front, and hurriedly looked over, only to see that a two-white flag soldier had successfully entered the camp of the Qi family's army.

Huang Taiji was overjoyed and said: "Haha, the Qi family's army is sparse after all, it seems that this battle is about to end!" Azig didn't say anything, and rushed directly to the front with his own soldiers to personally supervise the onslaught.

At this time, Qi Jin, who was fighting, was taken aback when he learned that Jiannu had attacked the camp, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers around him to fight and retreat, wanting to lead the army to retreat to the Chinese army. Who knew that it backfired, and the two white flags in front of Jiannu saw that victory was in sight and attacked one after another, and did not give Qi Jin a chance to lead the army to retreat at all, and the two sides had been fighting in one place and could not retreat.

Qi Jin immediately gave up his plan to retreat, and fought with the soldiers around him to kill the enemy, and suddenly a Qi family army soldier rushed over from behind and said loudly: "General! Tong Zongbing was martyred! The battalion has been lost! ”

Qi Jin suddenly felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out. Qi Jin took a deep breath, looked around with a sad expression, and saw that there were only one or two hundred soldiers left in the Qi family's army, so he shouted loudly: "Soldiers! We are fortunate to be born in this battle, and we are fortunate to die here for the dynasty and China, and it is extremely glorious! Die with me! ”

After speaking, Qi Jin rushed directly to the boundless Jiannu army in front, and all the soldiers of the Qi family army also followed, and they followed the main general to launch the last charge.

After the fierce fighting, all the soldiers of the Qi family army fell in a pool of blood, Qi Jin suffered more than a dozen wounds, more than a dozen feather arrows were inserted in his chest, and he poked the ground with a war knife to support himself and prevent himself from falling.

And hundreds of Jiannu around surrounded him, and countless weapons pointed at Qi Jin from afar, but no one dared to step forward.

Qi Jin looked at the Jiannu around him contemptuously, and suddenly roared: "Han Wei Army! Avenge the Qi family's army! Kill all the slaves! ”

After speaking, Qi Jin suddenly pulled out his war knife and rushed towards the Jiannu army in front again, and after killing two Jiannu, he fell in a pool of blood.

As soon as Nurhachi attacked the camp of the Qi family army with the two white flags, he hurriedly mobilized the two blue flag armies to reinforce them.

With the addition of the Jiannu reinforcement army, the remaining Qi family army soldiers were outnumbered and finally defeated, the general soldier Chen Ce and twenty family members fought together to die the country, and the remaining hundreds of Qi family soldiers all gathered in the Chinese army, ready to fight to the death. At this time, Jiannu and other generals were killed, including Zhang Mingshi, Yuan Jianlong, and Deng Qilong, along with more than 100 soldiers of the Qi family.

At this point, the fierce battle of the Hunhe River ended. More than 7,000 soldiers of the Qi family army and the white pole soldiers who came to support Shenyang City were all wiped out and none survived.

In this battle, the Jiannu army can also be described as a crushing victory, Nurhachi mobilized a total of two red flags, two white flags, two blue flags, and yellow flags of nearly 80,000 troops, as well as more than 30 artillery pieces, with an absolute superiority of troops to storm the Ming army for two days. Although the victory was achieved in the end, Jiannu lost Yabahai, Buha, Sun Zaqin, Bayan, Yamubri, Sirtai, Lange, Dunbudah, Mubu, Luwangge and other generals; More than 14,000 people were killed in the Seven Banners Army, and as many as 20,000 were wounded.

Later, the situation of the battle of the Hunhe River was transmitted back to the Beijing Division, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee all sighed: "It is a service, and the national dynasty resisted tens of thousands of Jiannu with more than seven people, although the force was defeated, but it was the first bloody battle since the Liaozuo used troops."

This earth-shattering battle also aroused great attention from the Koreans, and Zheng Zhongxin, who was then the envoy of Manpu, wrote in his report to the Li Dynasty: "The good of defending the city is as good as the Qinghe, and the strength of the field battle is like the Hunhe!" The casualties of the captives were far better than those of the Ming army, and the captives are still terrified when they hear the name of the Qi family's army. ”

After learning the specific casualties of each banner, Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, Azig, Amin, and Mang Gurtai turned pale, and their hearts seemed to be like a knife twisting; And Nurhachi was even more heartbroken, his long face was white and red, and he didn't say a word for a long time. After a while, Nurhachi suddenly coughed violently a few times, and then only felt a sweetness in his throat, and he actually coughed up blood!

The surrounding people were frightened when they saw this, and hurriedly helped Nurhachi off the horse and helped him to the side to rest. Nurhachi sat down and just relieved himself, took a sip of water and calmed down, and received a very critical news: "Liu Yunwei, the chief military officer of Tongzhou Town of the Ming Kingdom, has led 30,000 Hanwei troops to cross Haichengwei and is rushing towards Liaoyang City at full speed, and it will be possible to reach Liaoyang City in two days at most!" ”

Huang Taiji hurriedly asked the scout, "How is the appearance of the Han Wei army?" ”

"It's majestic! Its military strength is no less than that of the Qi family's army! ”

Hearing this, Nurhachi's throat suddenly became sweet again, and after holding back himself, he shouted loudly: "The whole army will go to Liaoyang immediately!" Before tomorrow evening, take Liaoyang at all costs! ”
