The Shang Kexi brothers, with their carefully trained and well-equipped 3,000 cavalry, rushed through the interception of the three Niulu bannermen with blue flags stationed in the vicinity of Yongdian Fort, leaving hundreds of subordinates who fell from their horses and were wounded, and drove all the way.

The blue-flag-inlaid armor La'e Zhenhun Pagoda (born in Tong Jia's family, the son of Hu Erhan, the fifth minister of the Nuer Hachi period) who led the army to garrison here panicked, and while letting people hurry to Zhenjiang Fort to report the news, he brought the only horse infantry in Yongdian Fort and a Niu Lu to follow and chase.

This Yongdian Fort is only more than 60 miles away from Kuandian Fort and about 400 miles away from Hetuala.

Whether it is Kuandianbao or Hetuala, they are all important towns in the rear of the Jin Kingdom after the capture of the country, and they can't afford to lose any of them.

In particular, Hetuara is the rear hinterland of the Jin Kingdom after the capture of the country, and there is absolutely no room for failure.

There were originally heavy troops stationed around Hetuala, and there were 20 cattle with blue flags in Kuandian and Yongdian in the east, and 20 cattle with red flags in Dong E and Elhun in the north.

It was only at this time that the beacon fire in the north and Zhenjiang Fort broke out, and under the urgent transfer of Jierharang and others, not only the garrisons with blue flags stationed in Kuandian and Yongdian were transferred to the front line of Zhenjiang Fort in large numbers, but also the main force of the Jianluzheng Red Banner garrison of Dong E and Erhun was also transferred to the north to encircle and suppress the Ming troops who landed at the mouth of the Douman River.

The originally tight line of defense also appeared a relatively empty gap.

At noon on the third day of the first month of November, the brothers Shang Kexi and Mao Kejin led more than 2,500 cavalry under their command to charge outside Yongdian Fort, and suddenly appeared in the northeast direction outside the city of Kuandian Fort.

However, before Shuo Erhui, one of the Blue Banner Armor La'e Zhen (born in the Jueercha clan and the son of An Feiyangu, one of the five ministers of the Nuer Hachi period), who was sitting in the garrison of Kuanden Fort, ordered his troops and horses to go out of the city to fight, Shang Kexi and the others rushed through the north gate of Kuandianbao City under Shuo Erhui's stunned eyes and went north.

Knowing the seriousness of this incident, Shuo Erhui hurriedly left two Niu Lu's infantry to defend the city, and then led the three Niu Lu cavalry under his command to chase out of the city, and soon joined forces with Hun Tower, who was chasing all the way, outside Kuandian Fort, and gathered four Niu Lu's cavalry, and followed Shang Kexi and the others a few miles behind their butts and desperately chased after them.

However, whenever Shuo Erhui and Hunta's team was about to catch up with the rear team of the Ming army, and the bows and arrows of the self-army were enough to reach the rear of the Ming army, those men and horses of the rear team of the Ming army with torches always threw a batch of thunderbolts backwards without looking back, and blew up the Jianyu cavalry who followed closely behind.

In this way, the two cavalry teams, on the mountain road that went north from Kuandianbao to Hetuala, chased after me, without sleep, from day to night.

At night, Shang Kexi, Mao Kejin, and Ban Zhifu, one of the graduates of the Wutang Martial Arts Hall, and others, were even more unscrupulous and everyone lit torches and galloped on the road that Liu Wei, a fierce general of the Ming army, had run.

Unlike Liu Ling, who was intercepted by Jianyu layer by layer because of his lone army, and was finally surrounded and annihilated by Jianyu, this time, the more than 2,500 forward cavalry of Dongjiang Town led by Shang Kexi and others traveled all the way.

Along the way, except for the panicked old and weak women and children clothed servants in the Zhuangtun of the Jurchen Eight Banners, they did not encounter a strong interception by the Jianyu soldiers.

When Huang Taiji swore out from Shenyang, he took away the young and strong main force of the Guozhong Banner, and the four banners left behind seemed to account for half of the Jurchen Eight Banners, but the strength of these four banners was still much worse than the two yellow flags, the inlaid red flag, and the Zhenglan flag.

The two white flags were moved to southern Liaoning, the blue flags were moved to the front line of the Yalu River, and the remaining Eight Banners Army in the rear was mainly the red flag.

However, after Huang Taiji set out on the expedition, Dai Shan, the main head of the Great Beile Zhenghong Banner, also mobilized, and transferred a total of 60 Niu Lu of the Zheng Red Banner to guard Shenyang, 40 with a total of 12,000 people to guard Shenyang, and 20 Niu Lu with a total of 6,000 people to Ye Keshu, one of the Gushan Ezhen of the Zhenghong Banner, and Boerjin, one of the Meler Ezhen, and other henchmen to guard the area of Dong E and Erhun east of Hetuala.

Dai Shan, who was preparing to mobilize a group of men and horses to fill this empty area of troops, had not had time to adjust the deployment, but in the middle of the night on the third day of November, he received more than 2,000 Ming cavalry, and took advantage of the gap between the blue flag and the red flag defense line, bypassed Kuandianbao, and ran towards Hetuala!

The frightened Da Belle Daishan, entered the palace overnight to meet Huang Taiji's concubine who stayed in Shenyang, reported the situation, and the next morning, it was too late to discuss with the ministers of the Eight Banners who Huang Taiji ordered to stay in Shenyang, and directly asked people to find the ninth son of the old slave, Gushan Ezhen Babutai, who was left in Shenyang by Zhenghuang Banner, and ordered Babutai to quickly recruit the Zhenghuang Banner men and horses who stayed in Shenyang, and rushed to the southeast of Hetuala to intercept before noon that day.

Dai Shan was already able to determine where the destination of the Ming cavalry was coming.

And he also knew what the old city of Hetuala, the land of the Jurchen dragon that established the state, meant to the Dajin Kingdom, to the Jurchen Eight Banners, and especially to the Aixin Jueluo family.

He said to his half-brother Babutai, who had been ordered to meet him, "Thou art the son of the first Khan, and thou art the same clan as me, and I need no more words about how important Hetuara is!"

"Now there are thousands of cavalry of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town, and they have suddenly attacked from North Korea across the river, and the clans and bannermen who stayed in the old village are all old and weak! If there are no reinforcements, it will be difficult to protect yourself!

"You must wait for this trip quickly, if the old village of Hetuala is lost, you must apologize for the crime with death!"

Dai Shan handed over this matter to the remaining Gushan Babutai of the Zhenghuang Banner, and he was still not at ease, and after Babutai led the ten Niu Lu of the Zhenghuang Banner to set off, he convened the ministers of the Eight Banners who stayed in Shenyang to discuss the countermeasures.

However, before Dai Shan could decide how to deal with the sudden attack from the south, south, and west of the Ming army when his troops were overstretched, Babuhai, another half-brother who had followed Babutai to lead the army to rescue Hetuala, rushed back to Shenyang City in the afternoon of the same day.

Babuhai rode all the way to the Dabeile Mansion of Daishan, and when he saw the powerful ministers of the Eight Banners who were discussing in the Daishan Mansion, Babuhai, who looked panicked, immediately knelt on the ground and cried and said:

"Big Baylor is on top! My brother led his army to Fushun, and saw a large number of old and weak bannermen running from the direction of Foala! Everyone stopped the horses, the Ming cavalry suddenly arrived, and the old city of Hetuara was broken! Big Baylor! The old city is broken! ”

Babuhai is also the son of an old slave, and he was born to the same mother as Babutai, a brother of the same father and mother, and of course, he is also Daishan's half-brother.

When Babuhai said this, he looked so panicked that he couldn't help himself, and he fell to his knees and began to cry.

And what he said directly made Dai Shan and the ministers of the Dajin Kingdom present stunned on the spot, some were dumbfounded, some were like mourners, and some looked frightened, worried about Dai Shan and the anger of Huang Taiji after returning with the army in the future.

Dai Shan's face turned pale, and his hands trembled and held the teacup, I don't know if it was for warmth, or to relieve the shock in his heart, the hot tea in the teacup splashed on his trembling hands and he didn't know how hot.

Dai Shan stared at Babu Hai, who was kneeling and crying, for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "You say!" What the hell is going on with Hetuala?! What's going on with the clan in the city?! How many escaped? Where are the Ming cavalry now?! ”

Just when the Great Bel Daishan of the Later Jin Kingdom was asking about the situation in Babu Hai without a master, there was already a sea of fire in the old city of Hetuala.

Not only was the old village of Hetuara burned, but a large number of old and weak clans who stayed behind in the old village were killed!

Hetuara means Henggang, which is a high plateau.

This is the place where the old slave Hachi was born and raised, and it is also the so-called Longxing place where he led his army to conquer the Quartet, and then proclaimed himself the Khan of Heavenly Destiny and established the Dajin Kingdom.

After Nuer Hachi led his army to capture Liaoyang, he moved the capital of his Later Jin Kingdom to Liaoyang, and then he captured Shenyang, and then moved the capital to Shenyang.

At the same time, he did not completely abandon Hetuala, and let his only remaining brother at that time, Aixin Jueluo Baryaqi, lead many branch clans to stay in Hetuala.

In the ninth year of the Mandate of Heaven of the Later Jin Kingdom, after the death of this younger brother of Nuer Hachi, he arranged for his youngest son Fei Yangguo to go to Hetuara to guard the ancestral business.

The name Feiyangguo means old son, old son, old son in the later Manchu language.

The Jurchens were ruled by the Mongols for a long time, so there was also a custom of the Mongols inheriting the ancestral inheritance with their young sons.

Hetuara is their ancestral industry for the Jianzhou Jurchens.

However, the ancestral business of the Jianzhou Jurchen wild boar skin family, in the eyes of Shang Kexi, Mao Kejin, and Ban Zhifu, the generals of Dongjiang Town who led the army to attack, is a military exploit that is enough to make a name for themselves and gain fame and fortune!

In the early morning of the fourth day of the 11th lunar month, when the sky was just dawn but not yet full, Shang Kexi and others led 2,500 cavalry of the Ming army of Dongjiang Town to the north gate of Hetuara in a foggy expanse.
