Not only that, Li Hongyu also asked Li Rubai to carry more than 200 cannons, large and small, including the Hongyi cannon, specifically to deal with the cavalry of the Houjin army.

Although the cavalry of the Houjin army shot arrows very far, no matter how far they were, they could not compare to the range of the artillery, and once the battle started, the more than 200 cannons would definitely cause a lot of damage to the cavalry of the Houjin army.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to artillery, the army commanded by Li Rubai is all cold weapons, and the shield soldiers in it occupy a considerable number, which is specially prepared by Li Hongyu for the archers of the Houjin army, and it is also to protect the artillery of the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Houjin army is powerful, but the main force of the Houjin on the battlefield is the infantry, the strong Jurchen infantry is very strong when fighting, and the archery skills are exquisite.

It is worth mentioning that although the situation of the Ming army in Liaodong was somewhat bad, it was not without advantages.

The Ming Dynasty had a large arsenal, so the weapons and equipment that Li Hongyu needed, including artillery, shields, knives and other ordnance, could be transported from the Guannai in a steady stream, which was incomparable to the Houjin army.

The reason why Li Hongyu let Li Rubai attack was because he was gambling, betting that Nurhachi would not fight with Li Rubai, but chose to preserve his strength and wave his army north to capture Kaiyuan and Tieling.

Obviously, if he fights a war of attrition with the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi will suffer a big loss, and the Ming army can quickly replenish its forces while his soldiers die one less and one less.

This means that in the face of Li Rubai's attack, Nurhachi will take the initiative to abandon Hetuara and make every effort to seize Kaiyuan and Tieling.

In this way, Li Hongyu will be able to communicate to the imperial court, although Hetuara has no military value, but it must be the capital of the Later Jin, which is of great political significance, and is the best proof of Li Hongyu's military victory in Liaodong.

In Li Hongyu's view, after taking Hetuala, he will be able to "retire successfully" from Liaodong and return to the capital with his head held high.

Obviously, there are many civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty, how could Emperor Wanli let him, the champion of the Ming Dynasty, stay in Liaodong, where the weather is cold and frozen?

Therefore, when Xiong Tingbi went to Liaodong to take up his post, Emperor Wanli would definitely recall Li Hongyu, after all, Li Hongyu had stabilized the situation in Liaodong, there was no need to waste time in Liaodong, it was better to stay by the imperial grandson's side to teach the imperial grandson the importance of it.

In addition, the Wanli Emperor also needed Li Hongyu to start the overseas trade plan to collect customs duties, and the Ming Dynasty needed too many places to use money, which was a good way to get taxes without increasing the burden on the people.

When other people's attention was still focused on the battle situation in Liaodong, Li Hongyu had already begun to look forward to the future development, and in the case of not being able to exterminate the Houjin, he wanted to achieve the greatest victory in Liaodong to increase his qualifications, so the capital of the Houjin Dynasty, Hetuala, naturally entered his sight.

However, Li Hongyu still has a lot of affairs to deal with before this, and no matter how he is now the commander of Liaodong, it is natural to straighten out the complicated affairs of Liaodong.

At noon when entering Tieling City, Yu Chengming set up a banquet for Li Hongyu in the General Soldier's Mansion to pick up the wind and wash the dust, because Li Hongyu was very kind to people, so the scene was staggered, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Yesterday's results have been counted, in the eyes of Yu Chengming and others, this is an out-and-out victory, capturing more than 7,000 Eight Banner soldiers, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji only led a few hundred personal soldiers to escape.

But in Li Hongyu's view, the Ming army achieved a crushing victory, not only only only the Ming army defending Tieling City only had a few hundred wounded soldiers, but the soldiers of the Yehe Department and the Inner Khalkha Department had a total of 20,000 casualties, of which nearly 10,000 were killed in battle, which shows the cruelty of the battle.

The so-called success and defeat of the king, no matter how you say it, it was the Ming army that won the battle, so everyone naturally ignored the price paid in this battle.

Besides, the main forces in this battle with the Houjin army were the people of the Yehe Department and the Inner Khalkha Department, and Yu Chengming and others regarded them as barbarians, so naturally it was impossible to care about how many casualties they had.

However, Li Hongyu could not ignore the sacrifices of the Yehe and Nekhalkha tribes, so at the reception banquet, he arranged the Jintaishi Belle of the Yehe tribe and the Bahattaiji, Ang'an Taiji, and Zaisai Taiji of the Inner Khalkha tribe on the main seat where he was, and sat next to him to show his respect.

For Jin Taishi, Bahat and others, Li Hongyu let them sit at the main seat of the wine table on such a grand and formal occasion, which is undoubtedly a great honor and an affirmation of their military achievements.

Li Hongyu's approach made Yu Chengming and others feel quite surprised, but they didn't expect Li Hongyu to value Yehe and the Mongols so much, because the Yehe and Nekhalkha tribes made decisive contributions in this battle, so everyone had nothing to say about it, otherwise Tieling City would definitely be captured by the Houjin army.

After the Battle of Tieling, the reward for meritorious deeds was naturally placed in front of Li Hongyu, which was also the most important thing for the generals and soldiers of the participating troops.

Therefore, after a day's entertainment, Li Hongyu wrote a report to Emperor Wanli in the bedroom in the backyard of the General Soldier's Mansion at night about the Battle of Tieling.

Among them, the first merit was naturally the Yehe Department and the Inner Khalkha Department, followed by the defenders of Tieling, and finally the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and Shaanxi and Gansu Cavalry who arrived at the critical moment.

Unlike other commanders, Li Hongyu did not mean to suppress the Yehe and Nekhalkha tribes, in his opinion, the Yehe tribes were the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and the Nekhalkha tribes were allies, and there was no need to despise them because they were "barbarians" in the eyes of the people.

In this recital, Li Hongyu proposed to exchange prisoners with the Later Jin, and exchange the Later Jin army captured in the Battle of Tieling for the Ming army captured by the Later Jin during the Battle of Sarhu, because this involved the fate of more than 7,000 Eight Banner soldiers, so Li Hongyu could not make decisions on his own, and he had to obey the will of the Wanli Emperor.

After writing the report, Li Hongyu called Yu Chengming and asked him to arrange for the people of Tieling City to be transferred to Shenyang and Liaoyang.

Yu Chengming was very surprised by Li Hongyu's decision, after all, they won the battle of Tieling, and the people in the city were counting on living in peace in the future.

Li Hongyu naturally knew Yu Chengming's thoughts, so he explained to him the reason for doing so, Nurhachi obviously would not swallow this evil breath, coupled with the important military value of Tieling and Kaiyuan, so he would definitely gather heavy troops to attack.

The troops of the Yehe and Nekhalkha divisions had already been wounded in the Battle of Tieling, and they would have to recuperate for a period of time before they could go back to the battlefield, so Li Hongyu no longer had the troops at hand to engage Nurhachi.

Therefore, Li Hongyu must take precautions and evacuate the people in the Tieling area first, so that they will not be poisoned by the war at that time.

"Lord Governor, how dare Jiannu come again?" Yu Chengming reacted at this time, and couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu with some surprise and asked, after all, there are still forty or fifty thousand Ming troops in Yaque Pass, and he doesn't believe that Nurhachi dares to send troops to attack Tieling again.

"This governor has ordered General Li to attack Hetuara from Yaque Pass, hoping to drag Jiannu to form a confrontation, which is conducive to us mobilizing reinforcements to defend Tieling."

Li Hongyu frowned when he heard this, and said to Yu Chengming with a serious expression, "If Jiannu abandons Hetuala, then we will not be able to hold Tieling no matter what. ”

Hearing that Li Hongyu actually ordered Li Rubai of Yaque Pass to attack Hetuala, where Nurhachi was located, Yu Chengming's face suddenly showed a look of shock, in his opinion, this was completely sending Li Rubai and the others to a dead end, how could they be the opponents of Nurhachi's Eight Banners.

Although Li Hongyu inflicted heavy losses on the Eight Banners of the White Banner and the Red Banner in Tieling, Nurhachi still had the troops of the other six banners in his hands, and the Ming army led by Li Rubai, who really fought, was not an opponent at all.

However, Yu Chengming quickly reacted, Li Hongyu's move was to use the Ming army commanded by Li Rubai to contain and weaken the Eight Banners in Nurhachi's hands, and it was also to reduce the pressure on Tieling.

"Lord Governor, on what grounds did you move the people?" Therefore, Yu Chengming bowed to Li Hongyu and asked for instructions, since Li Hongyu did not let the outside world know that Li Rubai was preparing to attack Hetuala, then it would definitely not be clear to people now that his true purpose of transferring the people was.

"It is said that the governor is going to fight the slave chieftains in Tieling, and in order to avoid hurting the people, he will move them away." Li Hongyu had already thought of countermeasures, and said in an orderly manner, "This governor has already made arrangements, and he will settle them all down." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do this tomorrow." Yu Chengming bowed his hand to Li Hongyu when he heard this, and replied with a serious expression.

"This matter must be completed within half a month, and the people in Tieling, Kaiyuan and other places must all move out without landing." Li Hongyu bowed slightly, and then instructed in a deep voice.

According to his calculations, if Nurhachi wants to attack Tieling, then the army led by him will reach Tieling in half a month, so the relocation of the people must be completed within half a month.

For Nurhachi, if he could not get the local people after capturing a city, then the city would become a burden for him, so that he had to migrate to the city to keep the city running, so that he could recruit less soldiers, and weaken the power of Houjin from the side.

Yu Chengming naturally knew the seriousness of the situation, so he bowed to Li Hongyu and retreated, so as not to disturb Li Hongyu's rest.

The next morning, as soon as Li Hongyu got out of bed, he got the news that the Jintaishi Baylor of Ye Hebu had rushed back to Tieling City early in the morning, and now he was kneeling in the living room in the backyard with his hands tied, as if he had committed something and was waiting for Li Hongyu to fall.

Hearing this news, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, he naturally knew why Jin Taishi wanted to bind himself and plead guilty, this was exactly the scene he wanted to see.
