Recommended reading: "I'll sleep for a while, call me when I'm done."

When the galloping Liaodong Iron Cavalry plunged into it like a sharp blade from the side and rear of the Eight Banners outside the southern city, Li Hongyu, who was watching the battle on the hill in the distance, couldn't help but stretch his waist, ordered the guards on the side, and then leaned on a big tree and fell asleep.

After all, this is the first battle in the real sense after Li Hongyu came to Liaodong, so in order to formulate a battle plan these days, Li Hongyu has been very busy, he has to check the terrain and analyze intelligence, and he also has to take into account the cooperation of the Yehe Department and the Inner Khalkha Department.

The reason why Li Hongyu led his army to come on the fourth day of the Houjin army's siege was not because he was delayed on the way, but because he was waiting for the arrival of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, only in this way could he be more sure of annihilating the Eight Banners of Daishan and Huang Taiji.

The Zhenghong Banner in charge of Dai Shan and the Zhengbai Banner in charge of Huang Taiji are the main force of the Eight Banners, so Li Hongyu did not dare to be careless at all.

It is worth mentioning that Dai Shan is the only flag owner who is in charge of two flags except Nurhachi, who is in charge of the yellow flag and the yellow flag, and he is also in charge of the red flag in addition to the red flag, which shows Nurhachi's importance to him.

And Dai Shan did not disappoint Nurhachi, he fought extremely bravely on the battlefield, made countless achievements, and was able to become the head of the four major Houjin and Shuobeile.

If "Heshuo Baylor" cannot accurately indicate the status of the four major Baylors such as Daishan, then "Heshuo Baylor" can be replaced with "Wangye", which can more appropriately indicate their identity and status in Houjin and distinguish them from the rest of the Baylors.

In fact, this time came to reinforce not only the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but also Chai Shixiu's two thousand Shaanxi and Gansu cavalry, Li Hongyu learned of Dai Shan and Huang Taiji's plan for Tieling City, and immediately sent eight hundred li to Yaque Pass to give Li Rubai an order, asking Li Rubai to send the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and Chai Shixiu's Shaanxi and Gansu cavalry.

Since following the stand-in governor of Liaodong to Yaque Pass, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and the two thousand Shaanxi and Gansu cavalry have been resting, and their purpose is naturally for today's big battle.

Li Hongyu accurately calculated that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and Chai Shixiu's Shaanxi and Gansu cavalry would be able to arrive at Tieling City today after receiving his order, so he launched an attack on Daishan and Huang Taiji today.

In fact, Li Hongyu was forced to give the order to attack, he originally wanted to wait until the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to attack the Houjin army from the north and south, break up the formation of the Houjin army in one go, and then divide and surround it with twice the strength of the army, and gradually eat it.

It's a pity that the defenders of Tieling City can't withstand the attack of the Eight Banners, if he doesn't give the order to attack, the walls of Tieling City will be lost, then the Houjin army will rush into the city, and it will be the residents of the city who will suffer, this is not a scene that Li Hongyu wants to see, so he launched an attack in advance.

However, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry came at the right time, and appeared at the most anxious time on the battlefield, which undoubtedly played a decisive role, so Li Hongyu slept with confidence, he was too sleepy now.

"I've seen the Governor!"

When Li Hongyu woke up, the night sky was already full of stars, and Bahat, Li Zhizhong, Chai Shixiu, Buyangu and others were sitting in front of a bonfire in the distance and whispering.

"How's it going?" Li Hongyu stretched his waist and asked slowly while moving his hands and feet.

"Lord Yu, Jiannu was defeated and fled, and our army captured a lot." Hearing this, Man Gui, who was standing aside, replied excitedly, this is an out-and-out victory, defeating Dai Shan and Huang Taiji in one fell swoop, and relieving the siege of Tieling.

"Did you catch Dai Shan and Huang Taiji?" Li Hongyu bowed slightly when he heard this, looked at Man Gui and asked.

"Dai Shan and Huang Taiji fled under the desperate protection of their slaves and fled in the direction of Salhu." Man Gui shook his head, and then said with a smile, "The governor has a clever plan to let General Jintaishi ambush him on the way to Salhu, and the two of them will not be able to escape this time. ”

It turned out that before the war with the Houjin army, Li Hongyu had already considered his escape route after the defeat, and the Houjin army had two directions to escape, one was Kaiyuan in the north, and the other was Salhu in the south.

Obviously, once Daishan and Huang Taiji are defeated, then Kaiyuan is a lonely city, and the two will definitely not flee to Kaiyuan, which will undoubtedly kill themselves, so he sent Jin Taishi to set up an ambush on the way to Salhu, giving a fatal blow to the rout of the Houjin army.

"Lord Governor, the defender of Tieling City has come to see you." Soon after, when Li Hongyu was listening to a report on the battle situation by Bahat and others, a guard rushed to report on it.

Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, nodded to the guard, and the guard brought Yu Chengming, Zheng Zhifan, and a middle-aged man in civilian clothes up.

Yu Chengming couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Li Hongyu, a look of surprise appeared on his face, he didn't expect Li Hongyu to be younger than he imagined, and from the perspective of age, he was completely a young man who should study in a private school.

"I've seen the Governor." Then, Yu Chengming came back to his senses and led Zheng Zhifan and the middle-aged man in casual clothes to salute Li Hongyu respectfully.

Although Li Hongyu is young, he has undoubtedly established his authority in Liaodong through the Battle of Tieling, who would have thought that the Ming army would go to this great victory after the Battle of Salhu, defeating the elite of the Eight Banners led by the two "Four Great Baylors" of the Later Jin.

Yu Chengming came at this time to naturally invite Li Hongyu to go into the city to rest, he didn't know that Li Hongyu also came to Tieling at first, until he was surprised to know from a general who cleaned up the battlefield from Ye Hebu that Li Hongyu actually sat in the battle of Tieling in person, so he hurriedly came to see Li Hongyu.

The middle-aged man in casual clothes who followed Yu Chengming was naturally a member of the Li family, Li Zhizhong's cousin, and the son of Li Rusong, Li Chengliang's eldest son.

Because it was late at night, Li Hongyu politely rejected Yu Chengming's kindness and prepared to enter the city again the next morning, so as not to disturb the people in the city, so as not to disturb the people in the city, so that he could also accept the welcome and cheers of the people in the city.

So, the next day, the streets of Tieling City were empty, and the people in the city poured into the streets to watch the excitement, exchanged ears with each other, and discussed a lot, all wanting to see the demeanor of the governor of Liaodong, who was born as the champion of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Hongyu rode a black-covered high-headed horse, surrounded by Yu Chengming, Bahat and others, and entered Tieling City, and the people along the way suddenly burst into deafening cheers when they saw this, and they subconsciously hugged forward, squeezing the soldiers responsible for maintaining order to the ground.

"The governor is too young, and he is not as old as the three boys of my family."

"Can the three boys of your family compare with the governor? He is just a helper in the restaurant, and the governor is the champion of the Ming Dynasty, and the Wenqu star in the sky descends to earth! ”

"The governor is gentle and handsome, I don't know if it's a marriage match?"

"Don't worry about the Governor, a talented man like the Governor must have been married for a long time."

"Don't look at our governor's politeness, it's really unambiguous to start a war, and he wiped out those Jiannu outside the city with a snap of his fingers."

……

Li Hongyu heard the discussion of the people on both sides of the street, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, he was just lucky and transferred Nurhachi's army, otherwise he would not be able to defeat Nurhachi's Eight Banners with his current strength alone.

Obviously, the Eight Banners under Dai Shan and Huang Taiji alone made the men and horses of the Yehe Department and the Inner Khalkha Department tired to deal with, plus the troops of the other Eight Banners, then Li Hongyu would not be able to defeat Nurhachi no matter what, unless he was given two years to train the troops in Liaodong.

But then again, Nurhachi will not give him two years to train, during which he will definitely continue to provoke wars.

What is particularly important is that Liaodong cannot get the support of the imperial court for two years, if Li Hongyu is not mistaken, Emperor Wanli will die next year, which is undoubtedly worse for the already extremely dangerous situation in Liaodong.

Li Hongyu's arrival undoubtedly reassured the panicked people of Tieling City, and they no longer had to worry about the invasion of the Houjin army, and the entire city was filled with a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

However, Li Hongyu did not relax in the slightest, he knew very well that Tieling City was shrouded in danger, once Nurhachi led his army to attack, and with the current strength at hand, he would not be able to hold Tieling City.

Li Hongyu can be sure that Nurhachi will definitely lead the army to attack Tieling City after learning that Daishan and Huang Taiji were defeated, which is not only to avenge Daishan and Huang Taiji, but more importantly, to sweep away the hidden dangers in the rear of Houjin, open up the connection between Houjin and the north, and control the initiative on the battlefield.

Therefore, Nurhachi must capture Kaiyuan and Tieling, otherwise Houjin will still be suppressed by the Ming army in Jianzhou, his previous battles are equal to all in vain, only by capturing Kaiyuan and Tieling can Houjin get rid of this unfavorable situation, grasp the initiative of the war, and gain space to develop to the north.

Therefore, Li Hongyu sent people to pay close attention to Nurhachi's movements, speaking of which, the reason why he was able to defeat Daishan and Huang Taiji in Tieling City today was that those spies sent by him could be said to have made great contributions, mainly the spies from Yehebu.

Although Li Hongyu was a newcomer, Ye Hebu had been operating in the local area for a long time, so Li Hongyu obtained a lot of information through Ye Hebu's intelligence network, including the time when Dai Shan and Huang Taiji attacked Tieling.

Speaking of which, Huang Taiji and Dai Shan were a little careless, they didn't expect Li Hongyu to attach so much importance to Ye Hebu's people, Yang Hao had never thought of using Ye Hebu's intelligence resources to find out the news for so long in Liaodong.

Of course, since Nurha Chitie will definitely open the idea of Yuan and Tieling, then Li Hongyu will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.

Therefore, Li Hongyu secretly made an astonishing decision, and while entering Tieling City, he quietly sent Li Rubai, who rode eight hundred miles fast to Yaque Pass, to give an order, so that Li Rubai would immediately march towards Hetuara after receiving the order, and march with great fanfare.

Even if Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu led the cavalry to Tieling City to reinforce them, then Yaque Pass also had more than 40,000 troops, and after two or three months of reorganized troops, the appearance of the troops has been completely renewed, and it is no longer the army that was loud and loud before Li Hongyu's arrival, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty now.

Li Hongyu made it very clear in his official letter to Li Rubai that this attack should be carried out step by step, steadily and steadily, and it is strictly forbidden to rush forward.
