Some people fought hard in the river, and more people were swept away by the river, and in less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of thousands of people disappeared without a trace in the river, and only a few water-based and clever swim ashore, frightened, naked, not to mention weapons and armor, not even a single robe left.

Someone beside Yang Yi cried, in the eyes of some recruits, the things in front of them were too terrible, almost beyond their bearing, some people died on the battlefield, but seeing so many companions being washed away by the river, there was nothing they could do here, this feeling was really terrible.

"Cry, your mother's cry."

A military attache with the appearance of a thousand commanders rode by, whipped at a few crying recruits, and after a few lashes, the cry disappeared, leaving only the sound of begging for mercy.

"Fighting is like this, those who have bad luck will die first, if you are not careful, you will die, everyone cheers up, and kills the enemy with Du Dashuai and makes meritorious contributions."

Mr. Qian shouted in a thick Shaanxi accent, while leading his family to move forward, and walked away after a while.

Yang Yi held back his anger, Zhou Daniu and the others were not good-looking, and the officials treated them like mustards, and at this time they were encouraged to kill the enemy, who could really raise their hearts at once?

After everyone put on their robes and put on cloth armor or leather armor again, they arranged the queue, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses crossing the river, and there were very few soldiers and horses in Liaozhen like Yang Yi, most of them were the elites from Xuanda and other places, and Juniper himself and his family also crossed the river, and the outpost went straight to the direction of Jilin Cliff.

It is difficult to see the flat land after the river beach, the mountains are from gentle to steep, there are dense forests everywhere, growing along the mountains, and behind them are turquoise and earthy yellow turbulent rivers, everyone's face is ugly, they have no knowledge, they do not know that this terrain is similar to death in the art of war.

"You Liao soldiers, what kind of birds are you afraid of, we fight Tartars like Jiannu every year, I don't know how many northern captives are killed with this big gun, and what is it that the eastern captives are stronger than the northern captives?"

A group of Xuanfu soldiers marched forward in formation under the leadership of a capital division, a Xuanfu soldier with a gun shouted at Yang Yi and his group, and the Xuanfu soldiers around him could also be Shaanxi soldiers, Yansui soldiers, Datong soldiers, and groups of border soldiers who were transferred from Jiubian had just wiped their bodies, with a kind smile on their faces, and laughed at the panicked Liaozhen soldiers.

Yang Yi's face was also a little ashamed, feeling that he was thinking too much about the east and west, and his subordinates were also a little timid, the group of northwest frontier troops transferred from Shaanxi Datong in front of him did not get much salary, and they were still guest soldiers thousands of miles away from home, and it took half a year just to walk on the road, and as a result, the morale of these people was much stronger than that of the Liao soldiers, and it was really a little ashamed to think about it.

Zhou Daniu also lowered his head and walked forward quietly.

Liaozhen suffered serious losses in several major battles last year, Qinghe and Fushun lost more than 10,000 people, and nearly 20,000 people lost in the field wave battle, these are all veterans, this time the proportion of recruits in the Liaozhen soldiers is the highest, and the morale and combat effectiveness are of course far inferior to the rest of the nine-sided soldiers and horses.

A hundred general riding on a horse to watch the movement here, look at the flag This is an officer transferred from Jizhen, there are not a few personal soldiers around him, about a down-and-out low-level officer, the armor on his body is polished, but the inner trolling is already very worn, he looks delicate, his eyes are big, but his face is full of black beard, with a bright helmet and bright armor, it looks majestic and brave.

Mr. Bai glanced around and said loudly: "No matter what, when you are a soldier and eat food, you want to kill the captives, and everyone will sing a military song to raise the spirit!" ”

The people around him agreed indiscriminately, and after a while, a voice lit up: "Ten thousand people are single-minded, Mount Tai can be shaken!" ”

The Xuanfu soldier who had just carried the gun sang with a smile: "Only loyalty and righteousness, angry bullfighting!" ”

More people followed and sang, each with high and low voices, and the keys they sang were also strange, but in general, they were mainly Beiyin and Qin dialect.

In front of him is the snowy mountains, the dense forests are hidden by the human eyes, and behind him is the surging muddy river, Yang Yi's heart suddenly swelled with an indescribable emotion, he felt that he wanted to cry, his body couldn't help but be hot, his throat was tight, and his two fists couldn't help but clench.

Mr. Bai glanced at everyone and sang loudly: "The Lord will kiss me better than my parents." ”

The crowd sang along: "Breaking military orders, not being free." ”

"The order is clear, and the reward and punishment letter is written."

"Go to the water and fire, dare to stay late?"

Everyone's voice is getting higher and higher-pitched, and the tone is becoming more and more passionate, this is the military song made by Qi Jiguang when he was in the general army, although it is not the traditional Qin army military song, but it is simple and passionate, catchy, it has been sung in many places in the north, and Liaozhen has also sung it, at this time there are many people who sing along, and the entire Hunhe River bank is full of high singing.

At this time, Yang Yi couldn't help it, he trembled his body, and sang loudly: "Report to Tianzixi, save Qianshou!" ”

Zhou Daniu, Cheng Fang, Li Mingli, more and more people straightened their chests and shouted with all their strength: "Kill all the slaves and find a marquis!" ”

"Kill!" Yang Yi pulled out the waist knife in his hand and roared angrily.

"Kill!" Cheng Fang and the others raised their swords and guns and roared together.

"Kill, kill!" More people roared like this, and the voices of more than 10,000 people converged into a huge wave, like waves crashing on the shore, slapping in the direction of Jiefan Mountain.

In the front, the drum has sounded, some generals have completed the whole team under Juniper's order, the striker has arrived at the foot of the Jilin cliff, standing in the direction of Yang Yi, you can see that there are many figures running on the cliff, but how many Jurchens there are, whether the resistance is fierce or not, this is not felt at all, he tightened the saber in his hand, and felt high in his heart.

……

Near noon, the brigade was stationed not far from Hezig.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners gathered their horses, fed them with water, and carefully took care of the somewhat thin horses.

Whether it is a nomadic or a Jurchen fishing and hunting people, war horses are extremely important to them, hunting is a part of their lives, just like the hoe and ploughing cattle of the Han people, bows and arrows and war horses are the living tools of the Jurchens or Mongols, unlike the Han people who only need war horses and bows and arrows when fighting.

These barbarians are indeed almost all born warriors, and after the mobilization and long-distance marches in the past few days, it is almost difficult for Zhang Han to see the tired look on the faces of the Jurchens, they are still full of energy and physical energy.

When Zhang Han was touring in the procession, many Jurchens looked at him with curious eyes, but no one reacted and moved, after a long time, Zhang Han ran a lot of places, and many people in Niulu had seen him, knowing that this Ming man dressed in Han costume and his subordinates were the guests of Lao Khan, not enemies.

Even so, Zhang Han still faintly felt a lot of hostile gazes.

The hostility of the Jurchens to the Han people has been fought for hundreds of years, unlike the Mongols, these guys have been pressed and beaten, the city has been burned by the Ming army again and again, and the most recent one even the grandfather and father of the old Khan also died in the military disaster, you can imagine how badly the Jianzhou Department was suppressed back then.

There are contacts with the Mongols, everyone has a blood account, and the Jurchens belong to the party that has been bullied, and they may be more angry in their hearts.

Of course, Zhang Han is also willing to believe Duo'er's judgment, that is, these guys are more barbaric and inhumane.

Zhang Han knew that the big Belle Daishan had rushed back, yesterday Daishan led the troops to set off first, originally Huang Taiji was also outside, and later brought people back to the main force, before the afternoon the times brought back the latest news, the main force of the Ming army was divided into two parts, one part crossed the Hunhe River to attack Jilin Cliff, and most of them went straight to Salhu, it is expected to arrive at the mouth of Salhu Valley in the afternoon, and garrison the camp outside Salhu.

Erdeni and Kurtang and others also joined Zhang Han, they had no way to lead the troops to fight, and the task given to them by the old khan was to record the war, which could be used as the letter history of the Dajin Kingdom in the future.

Nurhachi is much stronger than those Mongolian great Khantaiji in this regard, after all, he is also very sinicized, and he knows the meaning of recording history.

"Da Beile said to send the right wing of the four banners to attack the Juniper Department under the Jilin Cliff, and attack together with the garrison on the cliff, the Great Khan has decided not to do this, leaving only the right wing of the two banners to contain the juniper headquarters, the left wing of the four banners and the right wing of the two banners together, the six banners galloped to Salhu together, and first defeated the Ming army outside the mouth of the Salhu Valley."

A Tang Ma told the latest news, and Erdeni and others flew with a pen to record the latest situation.

"Why is that?" After the record, Erdeni said with a puzzled face: "Jilin Cliff is very important, and Juniper is the coach, isn't it easy to fight this battle against him?" ”

Xifu spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me, I don't understand." ”

Kurtang looked at Li Yongfang first, and found that the forehead stroke, who had been a Ming guerrilla general, was also at a loss, he looked at Zhang Han again, but he saw something different on Zhang Han's face, Kurtang asked: "What does Zhang Dongzhu think?" ”

Zhang Han shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, I don't quite understand." ”

Kuhl smiled and didn't pursue any further questions.

When these people walked a little farther, Chang Wei said to Zhang Han: "Brother Han, why do you think Old Khan is beating like this?" ”

Zhang Han didn't answer, and said to Liang Xing first: "Have you thought about it?" ”

Liang Xing and Li Zhiye, Wang Yikui and others first unfolded the map in their hands, Duo'er and Li Laibin and others also stood aside to watch, this map was drawn by Wang Anping here in Liaodong in the past few months, very detailed and accurate, of course, this map was quietly drawn, did not let the Jurchens know, and everyone was very cautious when using it.

The map is still colored, in fact, the cartographic level of the Ming Dynasty at that time was really not low, Zhang Han also saw some self-drawn maps of the state capital in later generations, and the maps used for navigation in later generations are almost not much different, mountains, roads, rivers, towns, almost no much change over the centuries.
