Chapter 124: Huang Taiji's Worries

Even so, the Guards killed more than 300 Houjin soldiers, grabbed more than 200 horses, and lost more than 100 themselves.

didn't catch Huang Taiji, Xiong Tingbi was not in a good mood. Zhao Shujiao persuaded: "Chief of Staff, we have won a big victory this time, and I have left so many Jiannu in flash, the first and third divisions will be better to fight in the Dongjiang River in southern Liaoning." ”

Xiong Tingbi smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "People are old, but their competitiveness is stronger, and they always want to capture the little slave chief Taiji alive to repay the emperor's kindness." Alas, after all, time is not forgiving. ”

Zhao Shujiao said with a smile: "The chief of staff is in his fifties, who can drive a hard bow and ride a fierce horse, is much stronger than many young people, and there are really few people in the army who can shoot bows left and right." ”

Xiong Tingbi shook his head and said, "It's useless to follow, let's go back first." After the ice melts, we are only afraid that we will build a city in Ningyuan. ”

Zhao Shu taught: "Indeed, Ningyuan City and Juehua Island are at each other's throats, so Jiannu will not dare to attack Juehua Island at all. ”

Xiong Tingbi nodded: "As long as Jiannu attacks Juehua Island, Ning Yuan can go out of the city to attack its rear." When the enemy forces attack Ningyuan, Juehua Island can also provide support, and this matter will be discussed after we go back. ”

Not to mention that Xiong Tingbi and others collected their troops and returned to the camp, only that Nurhachi and his party finally arrived in Haizhou five days later, and at this time the first division had looted all the surroundings of Haizhou and returned to Yaozhou.

Nurhachi was furious and decided to attack Yaozhou immediately. Yue Tuo persuaded: "The Ming army has been operating Yaozhou for a long time, and its artillery is powerful, so it is better to go to support the two blue flags first." ”

Nurhachi then remembered that Hetuara was in danger, and he ordered a day of rest in Haizhou, and then rushed to Lianshan Pass.

By this time, Lu Chin had already captured Caohe Fort, Jiumaji Fort, and Tongyuan Fort. The Guards transported everything that could be taken back to Yinshan Fort and even Phi Dao, and destroyed everything that could not be taken away.

Now Lu Qin is attacking Yunyang Fort, if Yunyang Fort is captured, it will be connected with Kuandian Fort, and the original Dingyuan right guard will all fall into the hands of the Ming army.

He faced the blue flag of the post-gold two Bel Amin. In front of the plate armor of the guards, the bows and arrows of the Houjin soldiers were completely useless, and the artillery could be said to be able to collapse the city wall with a few cannons for a small fort with weak city walls.

And the lethality of the rifled guns of the Guards can cause a certain amount of damage even at two hundred paces, so now the Guards have been pressing the blue flag to fight, if it is not for the large number of people with the blue flag, and Lu Qin does not want to pay too many casualties to attack, so he has been attacking with artillery and has not dispatched infantry, so Yunyang Fort is still in the hands of the Houjin army.

Amin has always thought highly of himself, but now he has been severely taught a few times by the guards, and he is irritable, but he also knows that in terms of weapons, he is far from being the opponent of the guards, so he can only huddle in the castle and wait for rescue.

And Mang Gurtai, who is in the blue flag, can only barely support in the face of Zhou Yuji's attack, which gives Mao Wenlong a lot of freedom. He led his generals to first take all the Houjin people in the occupied places captive, and if there was resistance, they were directly killed, and then the Han people from all over the country were brought to Phi Dao, and then sent back to the mainland.

Mao Wenlong was poor and afraid, and all the things that might be useful were transported back to the Dongjiang River together, and he understood that there was no way to hold the occupied place by relying on his own troops, so he simply came to a strong wall and cleared the field, so that Houjin did not have any supplies, and saw what they did.

When Nurhachi arrived at Lianshan Pass, Ruchin finally broke through Yunyang Fort. The Guards had almost finished the cannonballs, and there was no section of the city wall of Yunyang Fort intact, and Amin knew that if he stayed here, he would only be a prisoner, so he immediately retreated to Gushan Fort.

The Guards collected most of the shells that could be used for later use, and the ones that could not be used were iron, which they had to bring back and rebuild. Then there was the routine looting, and under the search of the Dongjiang soldiers, Yunyang Fort had nothing of value.

After Nurhachi arrived at Lianshan Pass, he immediately sent troops to attack Yunyang Fort, and at this time Lu Qin had already retreated to Xin'an Fort with his troops. Xin'anbao was occupied earlier, the walls had been repaired, and Ruchin decided to fight Nurhachi in a decisive battle here.

On 11 February, the Houjin army came to the outside of Xin'anbao, and Nurhachi ordered to set up camp and prepare for the next day's attack. At this time, Huang Taiji, who arrived in a hurry, carefully checked the situation in Xin'anbao, and said to Mang Gurtai, who had just arrived: "Fifth brother, you go and persuade Father Khan not to storm Xin'anbao." Even if we can take Xin'anbao, the number of casualties of our army will be a very terrifying number. ”

Mang Gurtai rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you go and talk to Father Khan?" You lost your troops on Juehua Island, aren't I the same here? Do you think Father Khan will give me a good face? ”

Huang Taiji sighed and said: "It is our sorrow to be a small state and a big country, because of the corruption of the Ming army in the past, and the Li family and us have an old relationship, so there will be the victory of the Battle of Sarhu." Later, he went down to Liaoshen and captured Guangning, which made his father Khan's contempt for the Ming army even worse. ”

But I didn't expect that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be so powerful and build so many new firearms, so that the Ming army swept away the decline of the Wanli years. The most important thing is that this emperor is different from the original emperor, he does not fight with us for the gains and losses of one city or one place, and retreats directly to Shanhaiguan, and then restrains us from southern Liaoning and Dongjiang. ”

Mang Gurtai said in disbelief: "The new firearms of the Ming army are indeed powerful, but the Ming army retreated to Shanhaiguan and gave up the whole of Liaodong to us, how can the eighth brother think that he has done the right thing?" ”

Huang Taiji sighed again and said, "As long as the Ming army cares about the gains and losses of the city and land, it will inevitably maintain military contact with us." Our army is stronger in field than most Ming troops, and as long as we fight with the Ming army, we can grab something. Now that they have withdrawn to Shanhaiguan, it is impossible for us to capture Shanhaiguan, so what else is there to grab. The retreat of the Ming army was even more difficult to deal with than their new firearms. ”

Mang Gurtai said with a big grin: "What's the matter, we can't grab the Ming army, we can still rob North Korea, rob Mongolia, as long as we have to rob, what are we afraid of?" ”

Huang Taiji smiled: "Look at the current situation, we haven't started to grab North Korea, but the Ming army has robbed us of the place we occupied. If we go to rob Mongolia, do you think the Ming army will sit idly by? You see, the Karaqin Department has already been on good terms with us, but in time, it should be attributed to me, and after the last war in southern Liaoning, they will ignore us at all now. Fifth brother, if we don't defeat the Ming army, we won't be able to fight Mongolia at all. ”
