In the tent, Li Hongyu wiped the blade of the saber in his hand with a serious expression, and he was ready to go into battle and fight with the Jin army. Vertex updates are the fastest

Suddenly, a low but very clear horn sounded, which made Li Hongyu suddenly slightly stunned, and couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand, a look of surprise appeared on his face, if he heard it correctly, this was the clarion call for Houjin to retreat.

"My lord, my lord, for some reason, Jiannu has retreated!" A moment later, a military attache of the Ming army with blood on his armor hurried into the tent and reported loudly.

"They withdrew?" Li Hongyu's face couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, and then he stood up and walked out quickly with the knife in his hand to check.

Standing on a rock on the top of Shimen Mountain, Li Hongyu, who was condescending, clearly saw the Houjin soldiers on the mountain rushing down the mountain like a tide.

"My lord, what the hell is Jiannu doing?" Liu Hu wiped the blood on his face, came to Li Hongyu's side with a puzzled expression, looked at the Houjin soldiers who came down the mountain and asked.

The surrounding Ming troops supported each other and gathered around, looking at the scene in front of them with a puzzled expression, and the Houjin army left too suddenly.

"The Mongols are coming." Li Hongyu glanced around at the Ming army around him, and after a deep groan, he said loudly to the confused soldiers around him.

This was the first and biggest possibility he could think of, after all, the Mongol cavalry was very fast, and it was normal for them to arrive earlier than expected.

As for the reinforcements from Jinzhou, although Li Hongyu also thought that it might be them, judging from the current situation, the chances of the Mongols are greater.

"The Mongols are coming?" Liu Hu was stunned when he heard this, he didn't react for a while due to his high mental tension, and looked at Li Hongyu in amazement.

"We won!" Li Hongyu bowed slightly, took a deep breath, raised the knife in his hand, and announced loudly to the Ming soldiers around him, whether it was the Mongolian soldiers or the Jinzhou reinforcements, they won the battle of Shimen Mountain!

"Win?" The soldiers suddenly looked at each other, their faces showed disbelief, just now they were fighting with the Houjin soldiers in the dark, and in a blink of an eye, the Jin soldiers ran away without a trace.

"Win, let's win!" Subsequently, the soldiers reacted, hugging and cheering, and many people cried with joy, they didn't expect to leave Shimen Mountain alive.

Li Hongyu put the knife in his hand back into the sheath, let out a long breath, and secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, if the reinforcements came later, he, the commander of the Ming army, would have to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and the ferocity of the Houjin soldiers' offensive had exceeded his expectations.

At this time, at the mountainside.

Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, who were walking down the mountain quickly, heard the sound of joy coming from the peak, and couldn't help but stop and turn around to look, and then the two glanced at each other, and got up and left expressionlessly, this voice sounded so harsh to the two of them, but helpless.

However, not everyone was in a bad mood, and the corners of Liu Aita's mouth, who was following behind Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, flashed a subtle smile, and his steps seemed very relaxed.

Liu Aita was very nervous when the fierce battle on Shimen Mountain was going on, and it was obvious that the Houjin army had the upper hand, but he could not do anything about it, and the only thing he could do was to find a way to take Li Hongyu to escape after he was captured.

But who would have thought that the Ming army in Shimen Mountain would be so tenacious, and even Amin and Mang Gurtai failed to capture the last line of defense set up by the Ming army at the peak, and then waited for the Ming army in Jinzhou to save the day.

Liu Aita felt that this must be God helping Li Hongyu, otherwise Li Hongyu would not be able to escape this catastrophe, and it was the wisest choice for him to take refuge in Li Hongyu, which could not only serve Daming but also ensure his future safety, with Li Hongyu standing behind him, what else would he have to fear.

At this moment, Liu Aita, like the generals of the Later Jin, wanted to know very much whether the Ming army in Jinzhou was a sailor under Li Hongyu, after all, the Later Jin did not get accurate information, and it was just speculation based on the movements of the Ming army and what Huang Taiji had seen.

Including Nurhachi, no Houjin general dared to take the risk of testing now, because once they misjudged and were "bitten" by the Ming army in Jinzhou, then not only would they suffer heavy casualties, but they would also be unable to defend the border wall of Liaodong and continue the bad life of white mountains and black waters.

Li Hongyu's previous series of actions made Nurhachi and other Houjin generals who lacked intelligence support believe that the Ming army rushed from Ningyuan was Li Hongyu's sailor, especially after witnessing the ferocity and tenacity of the Ming army in Shimen Mountain, they did not dare to fight with it easily.

In the final analysis, although the Ming army was at a disadvantage in the war in Liaodi, its comprehensive national strength was dozens of times that of the Later Jin, and Li Hongyu seized this point and successfully deceived Nurhachi with the only forbidden army and sailors in his hand.

Soon after retreating to Shenyang, Nurhachi received the exact news of the spies sent out, and learned the true identity of the 20,000 Ming troops reinforced from Ningyuan.

Nurhachi locked himself in his room for three whole days, and when he reappeared in front of the worried Houjin generals, the whole person was much older, and it could be seen that the Shimenshan incident had dealt him a very heavy blow.

Nurhachi had never suffered such a defeat since the army, when he was only a stone's throw away from capturing Li Hongyu, but was scared away by the Ming army in Jinzhou, and lost more than 10,000 Houjin soldiers in Shimen Mountain.

The fighters on the battlefield were fleeting, and Nurhachi, who had lost the excellent opportunity to defeat the Ming Dynasty, could only accept the result of defeat, and with the arrival of Lin Dan Khan's army, Houjin, who had already fought the battle of Guangning, was unable to launch a new round of offensive, so he could only choose to go on the defensive.

In addition, Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army was crisscrossing the rear of the Houjin, which caused the rear of the Houjin to be unpeaceful, and there were frequent uprisings in various places, which made Nurhachi have to concentrate on calming the situation in the rear.

After the Battle of Shimen Mountain, Li Hongyu's reputation in Houjin was more prosperous, the commander of the Battle of Shimen Mountain was Nurhachi, and the participants were Amin and Mang Gurtai among the four major beylers, and he had superior forces but failed to conquer Shimen Mountain, and had been defeated by Li Hongyu in a strategic sense.

Coupled with Amin and Huang Taiji, who were defeated in the Battle of Tieling, Nurhachi and the four major Baylors of Houjin have all been defeated by Li Hongyu, and Li Hongyu has officially become the number one public enemy of Houjin.

This made the generals and soldiers of Houjin hate and fear Li Hongyu, who would have thought that this young Ming official would be able to turn around the situation one after another and win!

Li Hongyu used the Battle of Tieling and the Battle of Shimen Mountain, especially the Battle of Shimen Mountain, to convince the generals of the Later Jin, and he had an inexplicable fear of him, which was of great benefit to his dealings with the Later Jin and even the Manchu Qing in the future.

After all, these days rely on fists to speak, and whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak and can gain more respect.

This matter, the peak of Shimen Mountain.

"My lord, our reinforcements have arrived, don't you ...... Not the Mongols, it's ...... It's the official army of Jinzhou! ”

When Li Hongyu was checking the injuries of the wounded, Liu Hu rushed over and reported to him with a look of surprise, "The officers and soldiers of Jinzhou are here to help!" ”

"The officers and soldiers of Jinzhou?" Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a smile of relief appeared at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that it was Naren Toya who saved him and the soldiers of Shimen Mountain.

Subsequently, Li Hongyu led Liu Hu and Zhao Feng and others to quickly go down the mountain to welcome the arrival of the Ming army in Jinzhou.

"Xianggong!"

When he came to the mountainside, Li Hongyu met Naren Toya and Yuan Chonghuan and others who rushed to the fire, Naren Toya saw that Li Hongyu was safe and sound, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then couldn't suppress his feelings and rushed forward and threw himself into Li Hongyu's words, hugging him tightly, tears like rain.

Li Hongyu smiled and hugged Naren Toya, and when he saw Naren Toya in armor, he understood what was going on, it must have been Naren Toya who was worried about his safety so he persuaded Yuan Chonghuan to come out of the city to save him, and then turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, Yuan Chonghuan, Liu Hu and others laughed one after another, and then hugged each other, celebrating the victory in the Battle of Shimen Mountain.

Yuan Chonghuan, Zhao Shujiao, and Zu Dashou looked at Li Hongyu with obvious awe than before, and they went up the mountain all the way to witness the terrifying scene of corpses and rivers of blood flowing all over the way, which was enough to imagine the hellish atmosphere on Shimen Mountain in the past two days.

"Lord Yuan, now that the weather has turned hot, I ordered to go down and bury the bodies of our and Jiannu soldiers who died in battle at the foot of Shimen Mountain."

After hugging Naren Toya tightly for a while, Li Hongyu let go of her after whispering a few words in her ear, and then walked to Yuan Chonghuan, who was talking and laughing with others, and said in a deep voice, Naren Toya's cheeks were red with shame, and he didn't know what Li Hongyu said.

"Scholar, there is no need to bury Jiannu's body, just dig a pit and bury it." Yuan Chonghuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said, This is also a common practice on the battlefield, throwing the enemy's corpse into a mass grave for burial.

"Although they are enemies, they are brave on the battlefield and deserve the respect they deserve."

Li Hongyu shook his head, glanced around at the corpses of the soldiers of the Ming army and the Houjin army, and said in a deep voice, "Our sergeants must also hope to have a place to live after death, and if we do this today, the soldiers of those soldiers in other days may also be treated well by Houjin." ”

"Lord Yuan, bury the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle with Jiannu on the left and right sides of Shimen Mountain, this official wants to erect a stone monument to commemorate these soldiers who died in battle, they are worthy of the identity of soldiers and have fulfilled their duties."

Saying that, Li Hongyu remembered something, and ordered Yuan Chonghuan in a deep voice, "Now that the battle is over, don't kill those injured Jiannu anymore, as long as they surrender, give them treatment, there are enough people dead on Shimen Mountain!" ”

"The scholars have a long-term vision, and the officials admire them, this is the arrangement."

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, thinking that Li Hongyu was reasonable, and he had a deeper understanding of Li Hongyu in his heart, don't look at Li Hongyu on the battlefield as if he was a cold-blooded and ruthless person, in fact, he was extremely kind, pitiful and sympathetic to the Jiannu who died in battle, and gave them the respect they deserved.

With Li Hongyu's order, the Ming army who came from Jinzhou began to dig tombs at the foot of Shimen Mountain to bury those Ming soldiers and soldiers of the Later Jin Army who died in battle, and each corpse could get a thin coffin.

Li Hongyu has tried his best to do this, after all, the conditions are poor now, but fortunately, the people of Jinzhou have come to help, and there are many trees in the area, which has made things possible.

Under the impetus of Li Hongyu, a cemetery was built at the foot of Shimen Mountain to commemorate the war dead, and the Ming army was buried on the left, and the Houjin army was buried in the change.

There is a stone tablet standing in the cemetery, which objectively records the battle of Shimen Mountain in Chinese characters and Jurchen characters, and has become a precious historical material.

In addition to Li Hongyu and other officials of the Ming army, later Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, Dolgon and others came to the cemetery to pay tribute to the dead, Li Hongyu's move made the generals and soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty extremely admired, and it also made the families of those Houjin soldiers who died in the war extremely grateful, and the reputation of the Later Jin Dynasty went to a higher level

Originally, some Houjin generals wanted to destroy the Ming army mausoleum in the cemetery, but they were stopped by Nurhachi and ordered the Houjin generals not to disturb the peace of those who died in the cemetery, so that the cemetery could be preserved and passed on to future generations.
