Section 19 The Verge of Triggering
After the war, the Ming army camp was in a mess, and the bodies of 20,000 Ming soldiers were stacked together by Jiannu, like a mountain moved from hell, terrifying and terrifying. The soldiers of the Jiannu were scattered in the five Ming army camps to rest, while the soldiers of the Korean army who had surrendered to the Jiannu were cleaning up the battlefield and counting the captures of the Jiannu.
At this time, Nurhachi was holding a banquet in the big tent of the Chinese army in the front camp of the Ming army to entertain Jiang Hongli, the chief general of the North Korean army, and Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, and Azig were also accompanying him at this moment.
Nurhachi picked up the wine glass and said, "General Jiang is here for a long way to come to my Dajin, so I drank this cup first to relieve the pain of fatigue." ”
Jiang Hongli, as a general, dared to disobey, hurriedly stood up and picked up the wine glass, and said with a panicked face: "Qi Qi Great Khan, the small state of Korea had no intention of offending the kingdom, but the Ming state was too persecuted, and the state had to send me to lead the army to come, hoping that the Great Khan would not blame." With that, he drank it all.
Nurhachi smiled and said, "I also know that the Ming Kingdom is strong and oppresses the surrounding small states a lot, so I raised troops to resist, just to let you know that not only the Ming Kingdom is a big country. In the future, North Korea can make a good alliance with our Daikin to fight against the Ming Kingdom. ”
Jiang Hongli hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what the Great Khan said is that the villain must report to the lord of the country when he goes back." ”
At this time, Huang Taiji said coldly on the side: "Hmph! Great Khan, this time the North Korean army killed and injured a lot of our Dajin warriors, should they be spared? According to the sons, it is better to kill one out of ten (one person for every ten people is selected to kill) to set an example! ”
When Jiang Hongli heard this, he immediately fell to his knees in fright, and cried: "Great Khan Mingjian, our Korean army was forcibly recruited by the Ming State, and it really didn't mean to be an enemy of Dajin!" After saying that, he kept kowtowing on the ground.
Nurhachi glanced at Huang Taiji, and said secretly in his heart: "Well, the wrist of the Four Beyler Conditioners is outstanding." ”
"I already know the difficulties of North Korea, the crime of this war lies in the Ming Kingdom, not in North Korea, you go back and tell the North Korean Lord: Don't take an example!"
Jiang Hongli kowtowed and thanked him: "The Great Khan is wise!" The Great Khan is wise! The villain must bring the will. ”
Nurhachi waved his hand and said, "However, how to deal with North Korea in the future, the Korean lord should consider it." In addition, I will repair a book, and you will bring it back and give it to your lord. ”
"Yes, yes, the villain must bring, must bring!"
After some beating, Nurhachi motioned for Jiang Hong to stand up, and the banquet continued to stagger.
The next day, Nurhachi sent 500 iron cavalry with the Yellow Banner to escort Jiang Hongli's Korean army to the Yalu River to send him back to China, while he led the army of 40,000 troops from the Six Banners to the south to join the two blue banners of Amin and Mang Gurtai, preparing to gather all the forces of the Eight Banners of Jiannu to annihilate the last army of the Ming Army's Eastern Route Army. In order to prevent Li Chengbai's troops, who had not yet arrived at the front line of Salhu, from causing chaos, Nurhachi sent people to strictly order the 5,000 soldiers and horses left behind to strictly guard Hetuara in case of accidents.
A day later, Nurhachi led his army to the two Blue Banner camps, and Amin and Mang Gurtai went out to meet them. After the two paid their respects, they welcomed Nurhachi into the camp.
After Nurhachi entered the camp, he did not rest, but directly summoned the five banner masters to discuss the next battle.
Nurhachi sat on the head of the big tent and asked, "Then how is Liu Yunwei?" Do you know that Liu Tingbu has been destroyed? ”
Amin replied: "Qi Great Khan, Liu Yunwei's troops are still holding out in the camp at present, and there is no sign of retreat. In addition, he should not know about the front line, the slave and the three bells sent two thousand iron cavalry, tightly sealed the radius of ten miles, and all the Ming army defeated soldiers or nearby people were killed. ”
Nurhachi nodded and said, "Okay, the second and third beylers are doing a good job. ”
Dai Shan said: "Khan Ama, how should our army fight in this battle?" Ask Khan Ama to give him the strategy. ”
Nurhachi thought for a moment and asked, "What is the fighting spirit of the Ming army?" How many people are there? ”
Amin said: "The fighting spirit of the Ming army is very high, and the scouts sent out by the minions are very driven away by the Ming army's night retreat; In addition, the minions and Sanbeile made several small-scale attempts, all of which were repulsed by the Ming army very neatly. ”
Mang Gurtai nodded and added: "Khan Ama, as for the number of the Ming army, it should be around five or six thousand, and there are thousands of people in the Ming army camp. ”
After listening to the report of the two, Nurhachi thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, the strategy of our army is easy to say. That is, to first hit the morale of the Ming army, and then storm the Ming army's camp with absolute superiority, and quickly rush to defeat it. ”
Dai Shan asked again: "Then Liu Yunwei is very good at leading the troops, the morale of the department is high, and the combat is brave, how should our army fight the morale of the Ming army?" ”
Huang Taiji on the side smiled and said, "Big Baylor seems to have forgotten that Liu Yunwei's grandfather Liu Ting and father Liu Zhao are in our hands. Oh, dead of course! ”
"Haha." All the people in the tent burst into laughter.
In the early morning of the next day, Nurhachi ordered the camp to be pulled out, and led 50,000 eight-banner iron cavalry to approach the Hanwei camp camp.
Liu Yunwei had already received an urgent report in advance that he would not receive it at night, and at this time, the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion were ready to meet the attack, and even thousands of people were distributed weapons and were ready to provide support under the organization of two hundred baggage soldiers.
It didn't take long for the roar of 50,000 Jiannu iron riding in. Immediately afterwards, the scouts and rangers of Jiannu began to appear in front of the Hanwei battalion, and then the Jiannu iron cavalry of the brigade appeared in the field of vision of the soldiers of the Ming army.
Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Wen Poyu, and Li Tianhao were all closely watching the marching Jiannu army, and everyone's expressions were extremely grim, seeing that the remaining six banners of soldiers and horses outside the two blue flags of Jiannu all appeared, especially a yellow dragon banner fluttering high, and everyone's hearts fell rapidly.
"Big brother!" Lu Ying exclaimed in shock. The rest of the people also looked at Liu Yunwei anxiously
Liu Yunwei's heart was also shocked: "The main force of the Eight Banners of Jiannu has gathered, what does this mean?" It can only show that the rest of the armies are more auspicious. Otherwise, for the sake of thousands of people in my Hanwei camp, how could the slave chiefs be so aggressive? What happened to grandfather and father! ”
Zhao Kaishan didn't answer when he saw Liu Yunwei, and said, "Big brother, they ...... in the town."
Liu Yunwei said coldly: "Maybe it's defeat, maybe it's ......"
After a pause, Liu Yunwei continued: "In short, let's prepare to fight." Order the whole battalion to go out of the camp and line up! ”
Everyone was shocked, now there is a huge gap in the strength of the enemy and us, and it is obviously the best choice to defend the camp, why did Liu Yunwei go out to meet the field battle?
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Liu Yunwei said: "This camp is not a city, there are too many ways for Jiannu to break through the camp, and we can't hold it." Instead of being trapped in the camp, it is better to kill and recreate slaves. ”
Wu Xing said: "Big brother, what about the people in the camp? ”
Liu Yunwei thought for a moment and said, "Stay in the camp, and leave those two hundred heavy soldiers to organize the people to guard the camp." The first heavy formation in the field, untrained people not only do not help, but will also disrupt our formation. ”
When everyone heard this, they also felt that what Liu Yunwei said was reasonable, so they didn't say anything anymore, and hurriedly returned to their respective headquarters to mobilize troops and horses.
The Jiannu army marched to a place two miles away from the Ming army camp and stopped, and Nurhachi brought Daishan, Huang Taiji, Azig, Amin, and Mang Gurtai to the front of the formation, ready to watch the Ming army's formation.
A few people just stationed in front of the horse formation, they saw the Ming army lined up out of the camp, thousands of Ming soldiers were clearly clothed and armored, the formation was strict, and the momentum was terrifying. In less than a stick of incense, the Ming army relied on the large battalion to line up the formation, only to see the Ming infantry in the center, several meters of spears towering like a jungle; Two elite heavy cavalry guarded the two wings of the phalanx, although there were only more than a thousand horsemen, but the momentum was not inferior to tens of thousands of Eight Banner Iron Cavalry!
Nurhachi couldn't help but admire: "Liu Ting is not simple, he has trained his grandson so well. If over time, the soldiers and horses under this son's command continue to expand, it will definitely be my Dajin's henchmen! ”
Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and the others looked at the imposing Ming army array thoughtfully, obviously not expecting Liu Yunwei's department to be so tricky, and they were all a little hesitant. After a while, Dai Shan said: "Khan Ama, our army has experienced many fierce battles, the casualties of each banner are not small, and it is already very tired, and now it is ...... to fight such an elite Ming army again."
Nurhachi frowned and said, "What does Big Belle mean by letting the tiger return to the mountain?" ”
Dai Shan saw that Nurhachi's face was not good, and he didn't even dare to say no more. Huang Taiji saw it in his eyes, thought for a while and said: "Khan Ama, what Da Belle said is not unreasonable, after all, my Dajin warriors have fewer people, and they can't afford to fight hard with the Ming people." ”
Dai Shan looked at Huang Taiji and was a little surprised, he didn't expect him to help him speak, but it is not surprising if he thinks about it carefully, after all, Huang Taiji's positive white flag also has a lot of casualties, and he will not be able to bear it if he continues to fight.
Seeing that Dai Shan and Huang Taiji were retreating, Amin, Azig and Mang Gurtai were also quite moved. Nurhachi was silent, and said after a while: "Anyway, since the formation is here, we have to beat him up and see if Liu Ting's Qilin Tiger has real materials!" ”
When the people saw that Nurhachi had made a decision, they said no more, and all of them returned to their respective banners to gather their troops and horses to prepare for battle.
In the early spring of the land of Liaodong, the sky is high and refreshing, the cold wind is cold, under the cloudless sky, the endless ironclad army is divided into two solemn formations, the eight colors of the Tartar captivity is violent, invincible, and the bright red Ming soldiers are also high morale and fearless, and the heaven and earth are a smash.
Nearly 60,000 troops from the Ming and Jin sides are waiting in formation, and the battle of life and death is about to break out!
