Volume VI The Battle of the Northern Frontier

Chapter 1 Rampant Liaodong War Tartars

Section 12 Post-war

Liu Yunwei looked at Nurhachi under the bright yellow umbrella in front of him from afar, and a raging anger ignited in his heart, and the monstrous hatred almost overwhelmed his reason and turned himself into a bloodthirsty beast. Grandfather Liu Ting, father Liu Zhao, wife Xu Wanxin, father-in-law Xu Mingwei, as well as the soldiers of the Hanwei Army, the Qi Family Army, and the White Pole Soldiers who died on the battlefield, those many figures kept appearing in Liu Yunwei's mind, and every time a figure flashed, the hatred in Liu Yunwei's heart deepened.

Guo Yi looked at Liu Yunwei, who was gradually losing his temper, and hurriedly said loudly: "General Town! You have to calm down! ”

Liu Yunwei's face was flushed at this time, panting heavily, his eyes were firmly fixed on Nurhachi's figure in the distance, his face was gloomy and terrifying, as if it was about to erupt, it could completely erupt at any time, swallowing everything around him!

"The town!" Guo Yi shouted anxiously again.

Liu Yunwei still didn't respond, but slowly raised the armor-piercing steel spear in his hand, and the five thousand dragon and iron cavalry soldiers behind him also raised the weapons in their hands together, and at the same time tightened the reins, like a group of lions ready to attack, ready to pounce on the enemy in front at any time.

Guo Yi was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly said loudly: "General Town, we have fought fiercely all night, and the soldiers are already exhausted, and Zhenghuangqi Jiannu is not only a new force, but also has an advantage in strength, at least more than double the strength of our army. ”

"I know!"

Liu Yunwei suddenly burst into a shout, which frightened Guo Yi and almost fell off his horse.

Liu Yunwei said angrily: "Hateful! The slave chief is in front of me, but I can't use it! After that, I saw Liu Yunwei pick up the iron-tired bow behind his back, pull out a carved arrow and put it on the bowstring, and the sharp arrow pointed at Nurhachi in the distance.

Hearing only a "bang", the sharp arrow turned into a trace of lightning and flew towards Nurhachi, who was a mile away, and the iron tire bow in Liu Yunwei's hand actually broke immediately!

Guo Yi and the surrounding iron cavalry soldiers were all shocked when they saw this, and the sharp arrow actually flew over a mile distance between the two armies and went straight to Nurhachi. Seeing this scene, the Zhenghuang Banner army was suddenly in chaos, and countless Zhenghuang Banner Jiannu pounced on Nurhachi, blocking between Nurhachi and the sharp arrows with their bodies.

Nurhachi also looked incredulous, and hurriedly pulled out his waist knife and was about to hold it on his chest. However, before Nurhachi could raise his waist knife, he saw that the sharp arrow shot into the crowd in front of him in one fell swoop, passed through the bodies of the three soldiers with the yellow flag in a row, and fell less than five steps in front of Nurhachi's eyes, and plunged straight into the ground.

"Whew!" Nurhachi let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at the dragon horse in the distance viciously, and was about to order the army to charge. But when Nurhachi saw that the five thousand dragon and iron cavalry were in a strict formation and imposing like a rainbow, he immediately became hesitant again.

"Okay, let's let Liu Yunwei go today."

Thinking of this, Nurhachi said lightly: "The whole army retreats and returns to Shenyang." ”

Looking at the retreating Zhenghuang Banner army, Liu Yunwei also let out a heavy breath, and said very unwillingly: "Go!" Back to the camp of a thousand mountains! ”

In the first year of the Apocalypse (the sixth year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven), on March 30, the Hanwei Army was camped in a thousand mountains.

After a few days of rest, the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion, the Trap Camp, and the Changshui Battalion have all rested, and the soldiers who have experienced the baptism of life and death have regained their vitality. At the same time, the captures and casualties of the officers and men of each battalion were also counted.

Liu Yunwei sat in the big tent of the Chinese army with a frown, and Guo Yi stood by with his head held high, like a door god, not moving at all. Wen Poyu stood in the big tent and slowly talked about the statistics after the war, while Wu Xing, Zhou Tianyi, Hu Kun, and Edward also sat on the side and listened carefully.

"In the battle of Qianshan, a total of more than 30,000 soldiers of our Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion, Trap Camp, and Changshui Battalion fought bloodily for several days, and successively inflicted heavy losses on the two red flags and two blue flags of Jiannu, a total of 40,000 troops, and beheaded the traitor Li Yongfang; Ten well-conditioned Franc machine artillery, more than 2,000 war horses, more than 6,000 stones of grain and grass, weapons and armor were not counted, and a great victory was achieved! ”

In this battle, a total of 729 soldiers were martyred under the jurisdiction of the Chinese army's pacesetter battalion and each 1,000 general battalions, including one general martyr, four hundred general martyrs, and 19 flag commanders, captains, and captains. A total of 1,829 soldiers were martyred in each of the 1,000 general battalions under the jurisdiction of the trap camp, including three martyrs, four martyrs, and 23 martyrs. A total of 2,399 soldiers were martyred in each 1,000 general battalions under the jurisdiction of the Changshui Battalion, including 5 martyrs, 7 martyrs, and 29 flag commanders, captains, and captains. A total of 4,957 officers and men were lost in the whole army, and the lost generals at all levels were selected from among the meritorious officers and men to fill the vacancies. ”

"In this battle, our Han Wei Army won the first level of the Zhenghong Banner Jiannu 3,376, the head of the Red Flag Jiannu 3,159, the head of the Zhenglan Banner Jiannu 2,958, and the head of the Blue Flag Jiannu 2,474, a total of 11,967. Considering that there are military regulations in the Jiannu army to retrieve the corpses of their comrades, as well as some Jiannu who have been shattered by artillery and firearms, the real losses of the two red flags and the two blue flags must be far more than the number of heads we have captured, which should be around 15,000 to 20,000. After this battle, the two red flags and the two blue flags have lost their combat power in a short period of time. ”

Wu Xing, Zhou Tianyi, Hu Kun, Edward and others first heard that thousands of soldiers in each battalion had been martyred, and their hearts were very sad, but then they were all excited when they heard that so many Jiannu had been captured in the first battle of Qianshan. Under the mixture of joy and sorrow, everyone's expressions are very wonderful.

Even Liu Yunwei's face showed a rare smile, and said: "You have heard clearly, Jiannu is divided into eight banners, and all the troops together are about 100,000 horses, and the thousand mountains will be taken into two percent in one battle!" Coupled with the loss of the Jiannu banners in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, now the Jiannu can be said to be a big loss of vitality! It can be seen that the Tartar captivity is not three-headed and six-armed, invincible, as long as the soldiers use their lives, our Hanwei army will definitely be able to recover Shenyang and Liaoyang, and will definitely be able to sweep Liaodong and Pingping Jiannu! ”

Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhou Tianyi, Hu Kun, and Edward all stood up and clenched their fists: "The last general is willing to follow the town to sweep away the Tartar captives and defend Huaxia!" ”

At the same time, in the prefect's yamen in Shenyang City, Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, Azig, Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai, and Amin looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere in the house was extremely depressing.

After a few days of counting, the losses of the two red flags and the two blue flags were finally counted, and the four banners army lost a total of more than 20,000 warriors, basically crippled, and could no longer do anything in the next war.

Nurhachi's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "It is reported that the second Hanwei army of more than 30,000 people sent by the Ming State has already passed Xining Fort, and it will arrive at Qianshan in ten days at most, and then my Dajin will face more than 50,000 elite Hanwei troops like the Qi family's army!" On the other hand, my Dajin, after the first battle, the Eight Banners Warriors have abolished the Four Banners, how will the next war be fought? Which of you will tell me! ”

Huang Taiji, Dai Shan and others were all shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt down, and no one dared to speak.

Nurhachi pointed at Daishan and said, "Great Belle! Tell me, how should this battle be fought? ”

Dai Shan felt the pressure like a mountain, only to feel that his body began to tremble violently, and when he opened his mouth, he couldn't make a sound, just knelt on the ground like a stone, doing nothing.

Nurhachi sat down indignantly, glanced at Dai Shan with some disgust, and then asked Huang Taiji, "What do you have to say about Sibeile?" ”

Huang Taiji calmed down for a moment, and then said: "Qiyu Khan Ama, Erchen thinks that although my Dajin has suffered a setback in this battle, my Dajin military strength is still on a par with the Hanwei army. Judging from the current situation, our Dajin is temporarily unable to attack the Ming army camp in Qianshan, and the Hanwei army is also unable to capture Liaoyang and Shenyang, which are heavily guarded by our Dajin. Therefore, Erchen expected that in the next period of time, the enemy and us will start a confrontation and begin to compete for the supply of grain and grass and the consumption of money and grain. ”

Nurhachi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay! Message: The two white flags will continue to garrison Liaoyang City, and the four Baylors will command all military affairs in Liaoyang City. ”

Huang Taiji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and said, "Erchen has the order!" ”

Nurhachi continued: "Now, my Dajin army is insufficient, and we must use this time of confrontation with the Hanwei army to replenish our troops. I decided to send the Great Belle to lead the troops to the Mongolian Horqin Department and recruit the Mongolian Iron Cavalry to help in the battle! The second and third Belle went to Xingjing, and immediately sent two blue flag warriors to the old forest to capture the wild Jurchen, and added them to each flag to act as armorers! ”

Dai Shan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai were also secretly relieved when they heard this, and hurriedly received the order to thank them.

After Nurhachi finished speaking, he said to Huang Taiji: "In this battle, Li Yongfang died in battle, and he should be buried in good life; The affairs of those Jin merchants will be in charge of Sibeile in the future. ”

Huang Taiji was ecstatic in his heart, and the contact with those Jin merchants was a fat deal, Khan Ama handed over this errand to himself, did he have high hopes for himself?

Azig on the side said: "Khan Amma, then Li Yongfang is just a dog of our Dajin, where do you still need Khan Ama to worry about his future?" ”

Nurhachi said lightly: "How can I care about a rebel general? I did this just to win over the hearts of the Han people! ”

After speaking, Nurhachi said a little tiredly: "Okay, you all disperse, now it's up to us Dajin and Hanwei Jun who can hold up and do your errand!" ”
