In the end, Zhang Han sighed and said, "Don't be a soldier, Da Ming is now fighting with the Jurchens and losing one game." ”

Yang Yi's face first showed dissatisfaction, he wanted to say that there are still three soldiers, this time the Ming may not lose, not to mention that the emperor and the elders will send more troops to Liaodong in the future, but think about everything shown by the Jurchens in today's war, more than 30,000 Ming troops and quite a lot of elite soldiers of the nine sides were killed in half a day, and the rest of the Ming army unless they work together to protect themselves now, and then slowly retreat, otherwise don't say defeat the Jurchens, even have no chance of getting out.

"Listen to you this time." Yang Yi lowered his head first, and then showed a resolute look on his face: "It is really difficult to repay the great kindness of saving each other twice, but I will never do business with Tartars like Zhang Dongzhu, in addition, even if I take my life, as long as Zhang Dongzhu you say a word." ”

"In Quang Ninh in the future, maybe I'll find you somehow." Zhang Han smiled and said, "Of course I won't ask you to do something unwillingly." ”

Yang Yi hugged his fists and said: "A word is a certainty, not only me, Guangning is respected by the strength of my brother Yang Er, the proprietor only needs one word, my second brother's brother is the brother, but the proprietor Zhang is from." ”

Zhang Han bowed slightly, and at this time he saw Li Yongfang and others riding over, and he immediately greeted him.

"Wen Lan wants to save this person?" Li Yongfang was a little surprised, he looked at Yang Yi carefully a few times, his eyes were full of playful color.

This person has become very keen and suspicious, Zhang Han didn't ask him to think about it, and calmly told Li Yongfang about the things in the fried flower tribe.

These things are all facts, Zhang Han was also very calm when he spoke, and finally he said: "There is nothing else to save him, he did good deeds that day and saved this person, you can't ask him to ask him to kill him again, save him as a good deed to the end that day." ”

"That's what it was for." Li Yongfang laughed.

A Ming army is just a team officer, he can only command a dozen people, and he has no identity in the guard, not to mention a hundred households or a general flag, not even a small flag, such a person Zhang Han does not say to save one, ten or eight is not a problem, Li Yongfang laughed for a while and said a few words to a Bashiku over there, he is Fushun forehead, the grandson-in-law of the Great Khan, and the current Eight Banners are not full of suspicion and hatred towards the Han people as in the late Mandate of Heaven, and the large-scale indiscriminate massacre has not begun, so that Bashiku nodded happily, with people with light steps left.

The white armor in bright silver armor glanced at Zhang Han with his eyes, but he was just an ordinary white armor, and it was not his turn to speak, and this person also left with his one-handed broadsword.

The battlefield gradually became a dead silence, no matter how brave the soldiers of the Eight Banners were, there was no way to transfer overnight, together with Nuerhachi, all the flag soldiers and followers were camped near the battlefield to rest, fighting two battles in a row, and the Eight Banners also suffered great losses, especially although the Ming army of Juniper was less and more enemies, but after all, it was mainly the elite of the nine sides, and the casualties caused by the counterattack were also amazing, Zhang Han only returned to his tent in the middle of the night, and he had seen a lot of tents with lights along the way, which were full of seriously wounded...... The lightly injured Jurchens would not be placed together like this, and they bandaged and bandaged themselves or recorded with the original cow.

Liang Xing had some schadenfreude on his face that couldn't be concealed: "Proprietor, a rough estimate, the Jurchens have died at least five or six hundred, and there are also one or two thousand injured." ”

"It's just a fur injury." Li Zhiye, who had a shrewd face, shook his head and said: "Most of the dead and wounded are ordinary bannermen, the people in armor are less seriously injured and even less dead, at the beginning they are all bannermen who shoot arrows in front of them, and they are the most seriously injured and wounded, and the most elite of the eight banners are white armor and red armor, and they die the least." ”

"Well, the combat power of the Eight Banners has not been damaged." Zhang Han agrees with Li Zhiye's words, his tent is at the rear of the battlefield, but there are still many Jurchens living around, snoring loudly all around, these guys risk their lives during the day, sleep like dead pigs at night, and will recover most of their physical strength tomorrow morning, and it is obvious that there are many ponds and horses in the camp, and most of them come from the north, judging by Zhang Han's memory and the current situation, the East Route Army is Kuandian, which is still climbing mountains and wading halfway, and it will take at least two days to reach the vicinity of Hetuala, It will take at least one day to enter the plains, there are hundreds of people pulling back and making some small moves, the pace of the East Route Army may have to be slower, the South Route Army is Li Rubai, this general soldier has no determination and belief to do war at all, only the North Route Army is making rapid progress, Ma Lin is the general of the Western Army, and he has no interests of his own in Liaodong, he will not make any small moves, he will only honestly enter the army at the agreed time, the North Route Army has 20,000 people, and the senior generals are much less than the West Route Army, which means that the number of elite families is much less than that of the West Route Army here, Since the 30,000-strong Western Route Army was gnawed down in one afternoon, the Northern Route Army, which annihilated more than 20,000 people, was definitely not a problem.

The intelligence of the Northern Route Army has long been sent over, compared to the passionate and reckless general Juniper, Ma Lin, the chief military officer, is very insulting to his family's style, when the old man Ma Fang ran back from the grassland, he has never been a timid man in hundreds of battles in his life, Ma Lin's own character is very cowardly, strictly speaking, he is not suitable for being a soldier, let alone being the commander of a large army...... However, the tradition of the Ming Dynasty is like this, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, the son of a mouse can make a hole, and the son of the chief soldier has to be the chief soldier...... Of course, the Li family, the Ma family, and the Ma family are all members of the Ming Dynasty's generals, and their relationship in the army is intertwined, for example, there are always such and such troubles and problems when outsiders come to the Liaodong General Army, and Li Chengliang's son is the Chief Soldier, at least in the distribution of interests, not to cause trouble to the imperial court, on the side of the imperial court, this is enough.

Marin's cowardice and suspicion have no idea in peacetime, it has become a standard fish belly in such a state of war, at least in terms of the intelligence that Zhang Han understands, the upper echelons of Houjin are very confident in defeating Marin, according to the expected itinerary, Marin should arrive near the battlefield in the first half of the night, and effectively support the Western Route Army, but the entire Western Route Army was eaten, and the Northern Route Army is still nowhere to be seen, and the news of the fight must have passed long ago, this person did not rush to help, but chose to delay time, presumably to see the battlefield situation... … Zhang Han is no longer able to complain about the generals of the Ming army in this war, the army commanded by these idiots and bastards, plus the center that urges the use of troops without guaranteeing logistics, and Yang Hao, who coordinates various departments but makes frequent tricks, this battle must be won to see a living ghost.

"But the battle is over. All that remains is one massacre after another. Zhang Han said with a tired expression: "The Eight Banners will enter the army in the second half of the night, Liang Xing, when you find Li Yongfang, you will say that I have a cold, go back to Hetuala, and don't continue to watch." ”

The so-called battle of Sarhu is indeed insignificant, the most important drama has been staged in advance, and it is completely performed according to the script of the Jurchens, the Eight Banners are almost unscathed, although it is not as Erdeni boasted in the old Manchu file that the Eight Banners soldiers only killed and injured dozens of people This kind of cowhide, but the casualties are indeed not serious, only the skin is damaged, it is estimated that after these battles are fought in a row, the main force of the Eight Banners will not suffer major losses, after the battle of Sarhu, it didn't take long for Nuerhachi to cut down Yehe again, The complete elimination of Ye He, an old opponent, is proof of this...... If the Eight Banners fought by the Ming army hurt their muscles and bones, they would not be able to gnaw on Ye Hebu.

After a lapse of more than a year, Shenyang and Liaoyang will fall into the hands of the Eight Banners, the Ming army not only died in these two battles, but also lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, together with Liaodong Jingluo Yuan Yingtai died in Liaoyang City, and then down is the Battle of Guangning, after the victory of the Jin soldiers, the Ming army lost more than a dozen general soldiers in Liaodong, three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses, Liaozhen lost all the generals and elite soldiers, only those generals in Liaoxi still have some strength in their hands, the loss of the nine sides is also not small, the Ming army lost its strategic advantage in the battle of Salhu, After the battle of Shenyang, the strategic defensive position was lost, after the battle of Guangning, the Ming army actually only had the ability to garrison the Shanhaiguan, and then the gate was kidnapped by the center, everyone used the threat of Houjin to divide the Liaojiao, in order to make the Liaoyu not cut, Liaodong was bound to maintain a quite aggressive attitude, so gradually restored Liaoxi, advanced to the Daling River, and then staged one tragedy after another......

After reading Salhu, Zhang Han already had a clear realization in his heart: relying on the Ming Dynasty itself, no matter how much he reformed, he could not achieve victory over Houjin!

In the words of later generations, the failure of the Ming Dynasty was a failure of the system and an all-round failure.

Don't say that civilization can't defeat barbarism, at least in terms of military system, the Later Jin Dynasty is actually ahead of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't boast of thousands of years of civilization in China, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, at least militarily the Ming Dynasty could not even handle a barbarian with tens of thousands of mouths, at the same time Europe already had quite a high number of tactics with guns and cold weapons, there were quite a lot of genius tacticians, there were quite a lot of artillery theory and mature system, 60,000 slaves in Europe could not set off waves at all, the backwardness of the Ming Dynasty is not only the backwardness of the sea, in fact, the entire military system is already a comprehensive backwardness.

By inference, the economy, culture, science and technology, political system...... Backwardness is all-encompassing.

Of course, at this time, Huaxia was still an inclusive and enterprising country, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a foreign race in the world, and it was a natural choice to close and defend it, Zhang Han believed that as long as there was an external force, Huaxia still had a lot of opportunities and possibilities to get out of the current quagmire and regain the lead in the world.

It's just a small change......

In the second half of the night, the Eight Banners regrouped.

Under the light of the stars and the moonlight and the light of the torches, the bannermen sorted out their armor and took care of the horses, the armored soldiers re-mounted their horses and reassembled under their respective Niu Lu flags, the weapons hanging in the pockets on the belly of the horses made a clanging sound, everyone's face had a tiredness that could not be concealed, and the rest in the middle of the night could not recover the fatigue of a day's battle anyway, but everyone still had a strong look of excitement on their faces.
