Chapter 4 The Strange Soldiers Go North to Fight Hu Cai

Section 7 The Situation in Eastern Liaoning

After the officers and men of the Feiyu Battalion and the Yulin Battalion were stationed in the Acropolis of Gaizhou for two days, the physical strength and energy of the soldiers of the army had recovered a lot, and they were able to continue fighting, and the more than 50,000 officers and men of the whole army were full of spirit and high fighting spirit.

After a brief discussion between Lu Ying and Huang Fuming, both of them believed that Liu Yunwei had strictly ordered the officers and men of the Eastern Route Army to stop at Gaizhouwei and not to attack north until they received further orders, so the army could not attack north for the time being. However, in the face of the willingness of the soldiers of the whole army to ask for battle, Lu Ying and Huang Fuming could not turn a blind eye, which would seriously hit the morale of the soldiers, so they sent a team to report to Liu Yunwei at night, and at the same time asked for permission to allow the East Route Army to go north to participate in the war.

While waiting for Liu Yunwei's further orders, Lu Ying did not intend to let the soldiers of the army idle, and immediately ordered the officers and men of the Feiyu Battalion and the Yulin Battalion to take the department as a unit, and each Qianzong should lead the army to attack alone, with Gaizhou Wei as the limit, and the officers and men of the whole army divided their troops to take over all the cities south of Gaizhou Wei, and strive to recover all the lost territory in southern Liaoning within ten days!

After receiving Lu Ying's order, a total of more than 50,000 soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion and the Yulin Battalion immediately cheered, and on the same day, under the leadership of their respective Shangguan, they drove out of the Gaizhou Guard, and separately killed the cities in southern Liaoning. In this attack, even the officers and men of the Flying Feather Battalion and the Baggage Battalion under the jurisdiction of the Yulin Battalion participated in it, which can be said to be fully dispatched, and only two artillery battalions were left in the Gaizhou Acropolis to garrison.

The soldiers who attacked separately were full of fighting spirit, and it took only seven days to complete Lu Ying's order, and the cities of Fuzhouwei, Jinzhouwei, Lushun, Fuxian, Xinjin, and Zhuanghe south of Gaizhouwei, as well as dozens of castles such as Luanguguan, Wuzhaiyi, Xiongyueyi, and Yulinbao were all recovered by the soldiers of the Hanwei army. The people everywhere cheered when they saw that the imperial army had repelled the Jiannu Iron Cavalry and recovered the city. So far, the land of southern Liaoning has returned to the embrace of China.

After the soldiers of the various departments regained the lost territory and stabilized the situation in various places, they returned to the Acropolis of Gaizhou one after another, Lu Ying and Huang Fuming were very happy, on the one hand, they reported to Liu Yunwei for success, and on the other hand, they reorganized the army and horses, and were ready to go north at any time.

Quang Ninh City.

After the retreat of the main army of Jiannu, Liu Yunwei did not order a pursuit, but mobilized all the army of the middle route and the army of the west route to the area of Guangning City, combined forces for rectification, and actively prepared for the eastward advance. At the same time, Liu Yunwei also gave orders to Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, and Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, ordering them to immediately transfer a large amount of weapons, money, and grain to Guangning City for strategic reserves, so as to lay a good material foundation for the next stage of the war.

Just when Liu Yunwei was actively preparing for the eastward war, he received three letters: one letter was sent by Yuan Mingxuan from Shanhaiguan, detailing the recent movements of the DPRK and China, the key point of which is that there is not much money and grain left in the treasury, and he hopes that Liu Yunwei can take precautions and prepare in advance; The second letter was sent by Wei Zhongxian, firstly, to inquire about the progress of the Liaodong War, and secondly, to talk very vaguely about the difficulties of the imperial court, hoping that Liu Yunwei could quickly resolve the battle, or after severely inflicting heavy losses on the Jiannu army, he could consider temporarily retreating, so as not to danger the army after the money and food were exhausted; The third letter was the good news sent by Lu Ying, learning that the southern Liaoning region had been recovered by the East Road army, and the blue flag owner Amin was beheaded, Liu Yunwei was very happy and laughed.

After reading the first two letters, Liu Yunwei inevitably felt some anxiety in his heart, but these anxieties were swept away by the good news sent by Lu Ying.

"Now we and the East Road Army are one south and one north, and we have formed a flanking attack on the Jiannu army! Coupled with the collapse of the Jiannu Zhenglan Banner, this is a blow to the morale of the Jiannu tribes! Well, I think the day of Jiannu's defeat is not far off! ”

Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, Wang Gandang, Wu Xing, Gao Hongguang, Li Tianhao and others were also elated, and they all encouraged Liu Yunwei to enter the army as soon as possible, and they absolutely could not give Jiannu a chance to breathe.

Liu Yunwei thought about it carefully, and then said: "According to the return of the night, we can basically conclude by now that Nurhachi is not dead, at best, he was injured, so it is not very likely that there will be civil strife within Jiannu." Therefore, three days later, the main army marched eastward, and the whole army crossed the Liao River to attack Haizhou Wei! At the same time, he sent an order to Lu Ying's subordinates, ordering Lu Ying, the general soldier of Tongzhou, to immediately lead his troops north to participate in the war, attack Yingkou City, and threaten Haizhou Wei from the south. ”

After hearing Liu Yunwei's order, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, Wang Gandang, Wu Xing, Gao Hongguang, Li Tianhao and others all stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

At the same time, Haizhou Wei, the government in the city.

Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, and Azig stood expressionlessly next to a couch, their faces full of sadness, sorrow, anger and other expressions, while Nurhachi was lying on the couch with a pale face, looking very weak, and a thick white cloth was tied to his chest, and a trace of red blood penetrated the white cloth, which looked very dazzling.

"Is there any news from the Second Baylor Division?" Nurha said angrily.

Huang Taiji and Dai Shan glanced at each other, and their faces instantly became extremely ugly. Huang Taiji didn't want to speak, so he didn't turn his head and bowed his head and said nothing, Dai Shan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Qiyu Khan Ama, Erbeile was defeated by the Han Wei Army East Road Army in the Gaizhouwei area, and the main army of Zhenglanqi and the Mongolian Iron Cavalry and Han Army have all been wiped out, and Erbeile has also been martyred. ”

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Hearing the news, Nurhachi suddenly coughed violently, and blood immediately gushed out from the wound on his chest, which frightened Huang Taiji, Daishan, and Azig to come to Nurhachi with their hands and feet, and kept wailing.

"What to cry about! I'm not dead yet! ”

Nurhachi snorted, slowed down for a while, and said in a low voice: "Spread my will, the whole army immediately abandon Haizhou Wei and go north to withdraw to Shengjing. At the same time, all the grain and grass that cannot be taken away will be burned! ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji hurriedly said, "Khan Amma! If we don't fight in Haizhouwei, then Sheng Jing will be directly exposed to the front of the Hanwei army! ”

"A fight here? With the current situation of the warriors of each banner, is it possible to win? My Dajin Warrior can't stand the attrition, so I can't continue to lose here, so let's go back to Shengjing. If the Han Wei army continues to press forward step by step, then let's go back to Xingjing (Hetuala)! Since I, Dajin, can conquer the entire territory of Liaodong once, I can conquer it a second time, and the success or failure of the moment is not terrible, and you must not give up just now! ”

Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, and Azig looked at each other, nodded one after another, and after a few good words with Nurhachi, the three of them withdrew together. After leaving, Azig left without saying a word, while Huang Taiji and Dai Shan were speechless, just sitting in a gazebo outside the door, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Big Belle, what do you think we should do now? My Dajin has reached the point of life and death! ”

Huang Taiji looked at Dai Shan with gloomy eyes and asked in a low voice.

Dai Shan's face sank like water, looked at Huang Taiji, and then said: "I think it's still the idea of the four Belles!" There are only two of us left in our four major Baylors now, and the four Baylors have experienced a hundred battles and made many achievements, and even Khan Ama is amazed by the talents of the four Baylors. ”

Seeing Dai Shan's pretending to be calm, Huang Taiji's heart was on fire, and he couldn't wait to rush up and beat Dai Shan. However, Huang Taiji knew in his heart that there must be no internal strife at this time, otherwise the Dajin Kingdom would really be finished!

"Big Belle, let me tell you something from my heart, it was nothing that we had some disputes with each other before, but now we can't fight anymore, otherwise Dajin Kingdom still has a few days to live? You must know that Liu Yunwei's killing god is sharpening his sword, ready to exterminate our Dajin Kingdom at any time! ”

Speaking of this, Dai Shan's expression couldn't help but become extremely ugly, and after a while, he sighed heavily and said, "If you have anything to say, Sibeile will say it directly!" ”

Huang Taiji looked left and right, saw that there was no one around, and then stepped forward and whispered to Dai Shan: "In this battle, Khan Ama insisted on going south to attack Shanhaiguan, and then fought a decisive battle with the main army of Liu Yunwei under the city of Ningyuan, so that more than half of my Dajin warriors were killed and wounded, and the second and third beylers were martyred one after another, doesn't Dabeile have any ideas?" With Khan Amma's current condition, can he still lead the warriors to overcome obstacles and repel the attack of the Han Wei army? ”

Dai Shan stood up abruptly and scolded in a low voice: "You are a rebellion!" ”

"Humph!" Huang Taiji snorted coldly and said, "For the sake of the future of the Dajin Kingdom, for the sake of tens of thousands of warriors and hundreds of thousands of people of the Dajin Kingdom, Benbeile will do anything!" ”

"You!" Dai Shan pointed at Huang Taiji angrily, his eyes widened, his face was full of astonishment and shock, and he was a little timid.

"What do you want me to do?"

Huang Taiji held Dai Shan's arms with both hands, then stared at Dai Shan's eyes, and said word by word: "Transporting Khan Ama's coffin back to Shengjing with me, and then help me ascend to the throne, you and my brothers will save Dajin Kingdom together!" Otherwise, the Great Belle will go with the Second Belle and the Third Belle to be the companion of Khan Amma! ”

Dai Shan, who had a hideous face, stared at Huang Taiji deadly, and suddenly found that dozens of soldiers with two white flags appeared around the pavilion, Azig walked over with a knife with an expressionless face, and stood at a distance of more than ten steps from the pavilion, like a statue without moving.

Seeing this situation, Dai Shan had already understood, and after being entangled in his heart for a while, he nodded heavily, and he became much older in an instant.
