"What? Father Khan wants to move the capital! ”

When Amin and Mang Gurtai were gearing up to fight against the Ming army of Yaqueguan, the messenger sent by Nurhachi arrived and sent a military order to the two, telling them not to attack, waiting for the opportunity to retreat to protect the people of Kaiyuan, which surprised the two, and Mang Gurtai looked at the messenger in disbelief.

The situation at the time of Yang Hao's four-way attack was extremely grim, Nurhachi never thought of avoiding the war, and now that Houjin had the upper hand in Liaodong, Mang Gurtai and Amin couldn't understand why he moved the capital to avoid the war.

"Back to the Third Beyler, the Great Khan specially instructed you not to fight, and the matter of blocking the speed of the Ming army's march was handed over to the Second Beyler."

The messenger first wanted to bow down to Gultai, and then said to Amin, "Erbeile, the Great Khan asked you to delay the march of the Ming army to cover the migration of the people, you can make a small fight, and you must not cause a big war!" ”

"Fifth brother, there must be a reason why the Great Khan did this, let's prepare quickly." Amin bowed slightly, waved his hand to the messenger to leave, and then leaned over to the gloomy Mang Gultai.

"Hmph, it must be a good thing done by Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, the two of them lost the battle in Tieling, and they were afraid that we would destroy the Ming army in Yaque Pass, so they used tricks against their father Khan."

Mang Gurtai couldn't help but sneer, kicked over a chair on the side, and said angrily, he originally wanted to defeat these Ming troops from the Crow Pass and make a contribution, but now it has come to naught.

Not only that, Nurhachi actually wanted to move the capital to Kaiyuan, in his opinion, this must be a ghost secretly made by Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, the purpose of which is to get rid of the guilt of the defeat in the Battle of Tieling, because Nurhachi's "royal driving and personal expedition" undoubtedly told the outside world that the Ming army in Tieling was very strong, so it was understandable that Dai Shan and Huang Taiji were defeated.

What is particularly hateful is that Dai Shan and Huang Taiji actually instigated Nurhachi to forbid him to contact the Ming army in Yaque Pass, for fear that he would make some contributions, how could Mang Gurtai not be angry.

Although Mang Gurtai is brothers with Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, the three of them are half-siblings, Dai Shan was born to Nurhachi's first wife, Mang Gurtai was born to Nurhachi's second wife, and Huang Taiji was born to his third wife, so they must all have thoughts about Hou Jin's throne.

And if you want to win the throne of Houjin, then it depends on who has more military achievements on the battlefield, and then you will naturally be supported by the ministers of Houjin.

Therefore, Mang Gurtai pointed the spearhead of not being able to fight with the Ming army of Yaque Guan at Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, thinking that the two were responsible for it.

In fact, Mang Gurtai wronged Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, whether it was to move the capital or not let him contact the Ming army in Yaque Pass, it was Nurhachi's idea, Nurhachi knew that Mang Gurtai was a little irritable by nature, and was worried that he would fight with the Ming army in Yaque Pass on impulse, so he asked Amin to deal with the aftermath and not give Mang Gurtai a chance to make mistakes.

"Fifth brother, the governor of Liaodong of the Ming army is full of tricks, and this time the Ming army in Yaque Pass is attacking unusually, and it does have the intention of weakening the strength of our army."

Amin knew that Mang Gurtai was unwilling, so he smiled and comforted, "Now that the cavalry under the second brother and the eighth brother has suffered heavy losses, the Great Khan will definitely rely on the fifth brother on the battlefield in the future." ”

The so-called "second brother" and "eighth brother" naturally refer to Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, and Amin is naturally commensurate with Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji brothers in private.

"Alas! Cheaper those Ming troops! Mang Gurtai slammed the table on the side hard, and said with some indignation, in his opinion, dealing with the Ming army at Yaque Pass was a piece of cake.

During the Battle of Sarhu, Mang Gurtai first set up an ambush at the mouth of the Sarhu Valley, defeated the Ming army, and then made great contributions when defeating the Southern Route Army, so now he naturally despises the Ming army at Yaque Pass.

However, Amin attached great importance to the Ming army in Yaque Pass, and he knew that the Ming army in Yaque Pass had changed their shields and bows and arrows, and he also transferred more than 200 artillery pieces of various kinds, which clearly showed that he had made a change in response to the fact that the Houjin army was good at shooting.

What is particularly important is that the Ming army at Yaque Pass marched no more than 20 miles a day, and all the departments gathered together to guard around the artillery unit, which made it difficult for the Houjin army to have a chance to sneak attack, and if it faced it head-on, it would definitely have to withstand the attack of the Ming artillery.

Unlike muskets, although the artillery of the Ming army was not as good as that of Western countries, its range was long and lethal, and if used together, it was enough to inflict considerable long-range damage on the cavalry and infantry of the Later Jin Army.

Even if the Houjin army dodged the artillery of the Ming army, then they would then enter the range of the Ming archers, and Li Hongyu preferred to use long-range weapons to attack the enemy compared to other generals of the Ming army.

Even if the Houjin army rushed to the front of the Ming army, they would be greeted by the Ming army's foot soldiers equipped with shields and spearmen equipped with spears, and a melee would inevitably break out.

Unlike during the Battle of Salhu, the Houjin army gave the Ming army equipped with a large number of arquebuses with bows and arrows to inflict huge casualties, and by the time the close combat, the Ming army's formation had already been scattered, and the killing of the Ming army was like hunting.

In fact, although the elite of the Ming army is not as brave and good at fighting as the soldiers of the Houjin army, it is definitely not a soft persimmon, leaving aside the interference of the outside world, if the two sides break out in a scuffle, even if the Houjin army wins, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties.

It is now July, no longer a snowy March, the Ming army marched step by step, once the Houjin army fought with it, it was a tragic victory.

On the surface, it seems that the Ming army at Yaque Pass was wiped out by Amin and Mang Gurtai, which was a great victory for the Later Jin army, but in the long run the Later Jin army lost, and Li Hongyu successfully weakened the strength of the Later Jin army through this battle, and the Later Jin army was unable to replenish the troops due to the limitation of the Jurchen population.

In the final analysis, the war is a comprehensive national strength, not a good army can win the final victory, Li Hongyu is well aware of this point and ordered the Yaque Guan Ming army to attack, and then gave Nurhachi a problem, and finally forced Nurhachi to make the decision to move the capital to avoid the war.

Compared with the indignant and unwilling Mang Gurtai, the Ming army led by Li Rubai was shrouded in a tense and depressing atmosphere, and the soldiers maintained a high degree of vigilance.

In other words, the Later Jin Army frightened the Ming army in Liaodong through the Battle of Salhu, and eliminated the main force of the Ming Army in five days, and there was already a tendency to demonize the Later Jin Army in the market in Liaodong, which also reflected the ferocity of the Later Jin Army from the side.

Originally, the soldiers of the Ming army at Yaque Pass thought that they would guard Yaque Pass and block the Houjin army from attacking Yaque Pass, but Li Hongyu ordered them to attack Hetuala, the capital of Houjin.

This made the soldiers of Yaque Pass feel shocked, at this time it has only been more than four months since the battle of Salhu, especially the Ming army on the original southwest road is still apprehensive, at this time, let them go to fight Hetuala, isn't it to send them to death?

However, this order was followed by a great victory of the Ming army at Tieling, which captured 7,000 prisoners, which more or less boosted the morale of the army.

Li Rubai is undoubtedly the most nervous one in the Ming army of Yaque Pass, and this is the second time he has led the army to attack from Yaque Pass today, which can be described as an opportunity to be ashamed.

Unlike Yang Hao, Li Hongyu deliberately ordered Li Rubai to fight steadily and steadily, step by step, which allowed Li Rubai to march cautiously and without worrying about being ambushed by the Houjin army.

Although the Ming army of Yaque Guan encountered the Houjin army led by Amin and Mang Gurtai on the way, the other party did not seem to have the intention of fighting, but only confronted them in a decisive posture.

When Li Rubai waited for a few days and did not see the indication of a decisive battle between Amin and Mang Gurtai, he ordered Guan Bingzhong and He Shixian to lead the left army to attack the Houjin army, the central army was responsible for supporting with artillery, and the right army was responsible for guarding.

Originally, the soldiers of the Ming army thought that they would have a big battle with the Houjin army, but what shocked them was that in the face of the Ming army's large-scale pressure, the Houjin army took the initiative to retreat and quickly left the battlefield, which made the Ming army confused, and it was not clear why the Houjin army fled.

Amin and Mang Gurtai did not run far, and soon put on a decisive battle posture, so that Li Rubai had to stop again to deal with it.

As a result, as last time, when the Ming army launched an attack, the Houjin army withdrew.

Due to the lack of information, Li Rubai did not know that Nurhachi had made the decision to move the capital, so he thought that Amin and Mang Gurtai were playing some tricks, so he did not dare to be careless and dealt with it cautiously, so that he was delayed on the road for a lot of time.

It was not until early August that the Ming army led by Li Rubai came to Hetuala.

Looking at the city gate in front of him with the city gate wide open and the dead silence of the Houjin Capital, the soldiers of the Ming army who were worried along the way couldn't help but look at each other, they originally thought that there would be a fierce siege battle.

Out of fear of the Houjin army, the generals of the Ming army were worried that this was a trap laid by the Houjin army, so they did not dare to enter the city, but went to Li Rubai to discuss, after all, the scene in front of them was too abnormal.

Li Rubai also felt strange, with Nurhachi's character, how could he flee without a fight and give the dignified Houjin Kingdom to the Ming army?

But the scene in front of him made Li Rubai feel that Hetuara was an empty city, otherwise there should always be the most basic dog barking, right?

"Lord Commander, I am willing to lead the army into the investigation." Just when the generals were talking, Chai Shixiu walked up to Li Rubai and arched his hand, and said loudly.

"Lord Commander, I am willing to go into the city to investigate." Subsequently, Li Zhizhong also walked out and said loudly after bowing his hand to Li Rubai.

"The two generals are the main generals of the cavalry, so they can't take risks easily!" The scene suddenly fell silent, and the generals looked at Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu, Li Rubai groaned for a while, and spoke.

"Lord Yu Zongbing, when General Beizhi and General Chai left Tieling, the governor once told the two of them that if they did not encounter Jiannu's obstruction on the way to Hetuala, it means that Jiannu had abandoned Hetuara and led his troops to move to Kaiyuan."

Hearing this, Li Zhizhong bowed to Li Rubai again, raised his voice and said, "If the governor guesses correctly, Hetuara is already an empty city now!" ”

"Empty city?" Hearing this, the generals present were taken aback, and looked at Li Zhizhong with stunned expressions, could it be that Nurhachi ran away?

"Come on, quickly enter the city to investigate, and see if Jiannu has run away!" Li Rubai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he shouted at a general on the side, "Report as soon as you find out!" ”

"Obedience." The general didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged for someone to enter the city to investigate after bowing his hand to Li Rubai.

After the general left, all the generals present were talking to each other, and their faces showed unbelievable looks, not only because Nurhachi might have escaped, but also because Li Hongyu, who was far away in Tieling, could guess Nurhachi's movements more than half a month ago, which was really too unbelievable.
