474 Three hundred warriors, Wu Yi soldiers
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
Looking at the distant mountains in the south, gray lead clouds are piled up in the sky, which makes people's hearts inexplicably depressed.
It's already afternoon, and the cold autumn wind from the north hits, blowing on the body and hitting the face, making people feel cold in their hearts.
Liang Jialie leaned on the war horse, panting heavily, only to feel that between his breaths, it seemed that his nose and mouth were filled with the smell of rust - it was caused by the blood drying up and condensing on the flesh wall. The cool breeze hit, making this steel-like man feel a little cold, his body shook unconsciously, and he tightly grasped the saber in his hand.
If it weren't for the saber living on the ground, he wouldn't have the strength to stand anymore.
It can be seen that his injuries are not light, and there are more than a dozen large and small cracks on the three-layer foam nail cotton armor on his body, some of which have coagulated black blood scabs, and some have been hurriedly wrapped in white cloths, and it can be seen that a red piece has come out of it.
Between his mouth and nose, there were red blood stains, and between his breaths, it seemed that blood was about to spurt out.
As a thousand households, the commander of an army, there are people around him at all times, and the injuries are so serious, others can imagine.
Liang Jialie stood up, such a slight movement made him feel a bit of difficulty, and there was a dull pain in his chest - he was swept by the mace of a Jurchen Tartar, but fortunately it was only swept, if it was hit, I am afraid that there will be no life at this time. Despite this, it also caused serious internal injuries to Liang Jialie, and he vomited blood from time to time.
But he also took revenge, and the Tartar was surrounded by three Wu Yi soldiers and hacked to death.
When the guards saw his movements, they hurriedly came over to help him, but Liang Jialie waved his hand and stood up.
It was a small hill with hundreds of horsemen, standing, sitting or lying. Most of them were resting, and occasionally one or two muffled, low, moans of pain could be heard.
Liang Jialie swept over one by one, and couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness in his heart.
There are only so many brothers left!
Fifteen hundred cavalry when they set out five days ago, and now. There are less than three hundred left!
The other brothers have all been buried between the white mountains and black waters.
From the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, Liang Jialie led the cavalry to follow Amin's army all the way west. Amin naturally did not allow such a situation to occur, and sent cavalry to encircle and suppress it from time to time, and in the past five days, the two sides have engaged fifteen times!
On average, there are three battles a day!
Several more times. Even a kidnapping horse was dispatched! Compared with Liang Jialie's army, the cavalry of Amin's department did not fall behind in terms of equipment, combat effectiveness, and even numbers, but it was Wu Yi's army, which often had to face several times the enemy.
After more than a dozen battles, heavy losses, if it is placed in the general troops. It's long gone.
But what makes Liang Jialie proud is that his brother is a soldier of Wu Yi. Even if you fight to the last man, you will die on this battlefield!
And the loss also brought returns, before every half a tea time, Liang Jialie sent a cavalry back to report the news, but later, manpower was tight, and the time had to be extended to one tea.
Just two hours ago, he sent back a horse and brought the exact location of Amin's army to Zhenyuan Mansion. Then it was far away, far away to follow Amin's army. The main force rested here, but more than a dozen rangers were still behind Amin's army.
Liang Jialie pursed his lips, and suddenly kicked the horse, turned over and got on the horse, this action made his chest tingle again. I couldn't help but snort, and cold sweat broke out from my forehead.
But his expression remained resolute, and he sat on horseback, his body as tall as a red tassel gun. β¦,
Seeing his movements, the other soldiers also turned over and got on their horses, even if they were very seriously injured, they were forced to endure the pain.
Liang Jialie looked at these soldiers with fixed eyes, what he saw was a resolute, strong, and fearless face, maybe in their hearts, there was also cowardice, concerns, and pain, and even wanted to turn around and run away, but they were a martial arts soldier after all, and they did not do anything to insult these three words after all.
It's enough to be able to do a good job in the role you are playing now!
Liang Jialie's eyes suddenly became hot, he endured the burning pain in his lungs, and roared loudly: "Wu Yijun, Wansheng!" β
"Wu Yijun, Wan Sheng!"
The three hundred soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the world.
Liang Jialie pulled the reins of his horse, and the war horse under his crotch let out a Herodian neigh, and rushed towards the west.
When he stretched out his hand, his soldiers choked back tears, holding high the dazzling banner of the Wu Yijun that had been damaged, but it was even more red because of the countless blood, the banner hunted and flew in the wind, and the blood seemed to be struggling to fly out.
After that, three hundred cavalry rode forward, their eyes full of determination!
The 50,000 army is traveling westward, and at this time you can see that Amin's ability to govern the army is coming, although it is to escape, but it is not in a hurry, the cavalry is in front of the road, the most elite kidnapping horses in addition to a part of the escort of the Chinese army, the other part is in the tail of the large army is broken, there are light cavalry on both wings to release dozens of miles to spy on the enemy, and the largest number of foot soldiers are firmly guarded inside.
In this way, one is that in the event of a sudden attack, it can be reflected in time and be prepared, and the other is that even if the enemy is sneak attacking, it is facing a huge and heavy phalanx of foot soldiers, and the cavalry on both wings can outflank it and encircle it.
Organized, busy but not chaotic.
It is generally good to use these eight words to describe Amin's army.
However, the soldiers were all very puzzled in their hearts, they didn't understand why they had a good place outside the Zhenyuan Mansion, and they didn't lose the battle, and they didn't retreat suddenly?
But the obedience to Shangguan for a long time made them quickly accept this reality, and there was no chaos, and it has to be said that in this process, the abducted horse played a great role. Everyone knew that the kidnapping horse didn't listen to anyone except the orders of the resolute general, and since they were all like this, it was naturally the resolute general who gave the order.
So Amin slowly stabilized the situation.
A fast horse galloped from a distance, and followed the array of fast horses of the foot soldiers to the Chinese army, where there was a huge carriage, more than a dozen high-quality war horses, and the area on it was very large, like a small room. This is where Fortitude recuperates, and it is also Amin's office.
The cavalryman shouted, "Lord Amin. Thirty miles ahead, it is Heilongjiang. β
A faint voice came from inside: "Order the front army to camp in place by the river, and reach out fifty miles to the north and south." Check for natives and rest of the people around, cut down large logs, build rafts, and prepare food. β
"Yes, sir!" The cavalry answered, and rode away again.
in the carriage. The furnishings are simple, but it's just a big case, Amin's office and meals are on it, and as for sleeping, sleeping on the wall of the car and sleeping with clothes is also sweet. There was also a huge map hanging on the wall, densely filled with many things.
"It's almost Heilongjiang, and after Heilongjiang, it's safe! Lian Zining. Even if you have monstrous abilities, what can you do to me? Amin leaned against the wall of the car and let out a long sigh of relief. There was an indescribable tiredness on his face.
Later generations know that the Songhua River flows into the Heilongjiang River, and after the two meet, the latter section is called the Heilongjiang River until it enters the sea, but in the Ming Dynasty, this section is called the Songhua River, because people believe that the Heilongjiang River flows into the Songhua River. And only the section of Xishenwei to the west goes all the way to the source. It is called Heilongjiang. β¦,
The trend of Heilongjiang in the northeast is roughly to the southeast first, and then to the northeast until it enters the sea.
This turning point is in the vicinity of Komuwei, from this. The Songhua River flows into it.
The southeast edge of the Liaobei General's jurisdiction faces the Songhua River across the Songhua River, while the northeast edge of the Liaobei General's jurisdiction is Heilongjiang.
In other words, as long as you cross the Heilongjiang River in front of you, you will enter the territory of the general of Liaobei. Amin is very proficient in the rules of officialdom in the Ming Dynasty, and he knows very well that even if Lian Zining has great ability, he can't help himself at this time - if he wants to pursue, he will enter the defense area of his colleagues without permission, which is an out-and-out crime of rebellion!
Unless it was the general of Liaobei who went to the imperial court and asked for reinforcements, and then the imperial court issued an order for Lian Zining to support. Not to mention whether the general of Liaobei will pull down his subordinates to ask for help from the imperial court - you know, if he does this, it means that his incompetence will end here, and his career in this life will end here, and maybe he will be put in prison on the charge of being unappeased at the border - even if he does it, this series of processes will take more than half a year.
What Amin lacks most now is time.
He led the army to leave Zhenyuan Mansion on the fifth day of the ninth month, and immediately set off in the starry night, all the way to the southwest, during which he crossed the Songhua River once and came to Jiangbei. From Xishenwei to the north, all the way to Jiahewei, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei, this area of hundreds of miles long from east to west does not belong to the scope of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchens are unable to stretch out their hands here, so it has become a three-sided area, sparsely populated, and a large area of grassland and dense forest.
At the beginning, the Mongol and Jurchen allied forces passed through this place and reached the bottom of the Xishen Acropolis.
In the past few days, Amin led a large army across this area, and all the large and small tribes and Han settlements encountered along the way were all crushed against us. So far, except for Liang Jialie's troops, who have continuously brought the intelligence of Amin's army to Zhenyuan Mansion, the other surrounding forces have no idea about this army with a size of 50,000.
Amin squinted his eyes, his fingers tapped lightly on his legs, and he secretly thought in his heart, and after thinking about it, he secretly thought that there was no mistake in the secret, and he was relieved.
He summoned the herald again, and passed on a series of orders, until it was dark, and he was not done.
After going to the back bedroom to look at Fortitude for a while, Amin stretched his waist and stepped out of the carriage, riding on the back of the horse to soothe his muscles for a while.
At this time, he heard a burst of horses' hooves from behind, Amin looked back, and saw that I was galloping towards this side with more than 100 kidnappers, and the surrounding foot soldiers looked at each other, with a look of reverence in their eyes.
The black iron armor of these kidnappers had large black-brown marks on them, which were dried up blood, and they were wrapped in the cold wind and howled, with a thick bloody smell on their bodies.
When I saw Amin, I laughed out loud, rode my horse to Amin's side, slammed the reins, and Herodus, the war horse in iron armor under his crotch, neighed, and the person stood up, which was a divine horse.
"Amin!" I took off a black thing from the mace hanging next to the saddle, threw it to Amin, and laughed: "I killed the leader of the Wu Yi Army who has been following us for the past few days, you see!" β
"Oh? Killed? That's great! β
Amin showed a touch of joy on his face, stretched out his hand to take it, and felt a burst of wetness when he started it, and fixed his eyes on it. I saw that there was a human head in my hand, and what I was holding in my hand was the bundle of hair. He took a closer look. Although he is dead, he can still see that this person must have been a fierce general before his death, his eyes are full of anger, although he only has a head, but the flying and indomitable momentum on his face is almost bursting out! β¦,
"What a great general!"
Xu Jialie's department has been harassing Amin for several days. It made Amin so annoyed that he sent cavalry to surround and annihilate him every day for several days, and when he saw the level at this time, it stands to reason that he should be happy. But somehow, he was panicked in his heart, sighed secretly, and asked, "What's his name?" β
I scratched my head: "I don't know! β
"Don't know? What about the captives? I tried it myself. Amin couldn't help but laugh.
"There are no captives!" There was also a hint of admiration on my face, and he said, "Those Wu Yi Army. They were all brutal and ruthless, and after being surrounded by our army, they were all killed, and no one surrendered. Let's kill them all. β
"No captives?" Amin only felt a chill in his heart, he was extremely jealous of Wu Yijun, but he didn't expect that Wu Yijun was already fierce and strong to this extent, in the past, he only thought that Wu Yijun could only gain the upper hand by relying on strong cities and artillery, but he didn't expect that the fighting will of these soldiers was not inferior to that of Jurchen warriors.
Amin secretly thought to himself, if he was a Jurchen warrior, he might not be able to choose to die calmly when facing more than ten times the enemy!
It was as if he had remembered something. He hurriedly asked, "Then how many casualties do we have?" β
I coughed and said a little embarrassed: "There are more than six hundred dead, and there are fifteen kidnappers and horses." β
"The other party only has 300 people, and he was surrounded and annihilated by more than ten times the force, and he even killed 600 of his own people, and there are even kidnappers and horses?"
The abducted horse is the treasure in Amin's heart. Dying one of them made him feel distressed.
He couldn't wait to scold me for being a fool, he knew that there would be such a big casualty, and it must have something to do with my baby, but now he still needs the support of my child, so he knows to keep his mouth shut.
Amin was silent.
After a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Order the whole army, the headquarters of the Wu Yi Army was surrounded and annihilated by us, a major event that has never escaped, it is gratifying and congratulatory, no alcohol will be banned tonight, and the whole army will carnival!" In addition, nail the corpses of those Wu Yijun to wooden stakes and stand on the bank of the Heilongjiang River! β
"Amin, you!" I am still upright, I still admire those Wu Yijun who died in battle, and I am a little disappreciative of Amin's attitude, and I was about to speak, but I was glared at by Amin, so I had to shut up and be silent.
On September 11, the 52nd year of Zhengde, the Liang Jialie Department of the 6,000th Household of the Fourth Guard of the Wuyi Army, in the process of chasing Amin's army, was surrounded by 5,000 cavalry.
The troops fought to the last man, and no one surrendered!
In order to celebrate the annihilation of the Wu Yi Army, Amin's department carnivaled all night. The corpses of three hundred Wu Yi soldiers were nailed to the wooden stakes as a warning, and many Wu Yi corpses were scraped clean of flesh by the Jurchen soldiers who hated them, leaving only one white bone, and the flesh and blood were thrown into the pot and eaten by everyone.
On September 12, Amin's headquarters crossed the Heilongjiang River at night, broke into Baili, and attacked Jiahewei, a town in the eastern border of the Liaobei general's territory.
The western part of the Liaobei General's jurisdiction is adjacent to Fuyuwei, which is a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty, most of the elite soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Liaobei General are concentrated at the junction with Fuyuwei, and the Jiahe guard is extremely empty, and the defenders are unaware.
That night, Amin climbed to the city with the elite and brave men in the army took advantage of the night, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders to climb the city wall, kill all the defenders of the city gate, and open the city gate. Then Amin took the kidnapping horse as the vanguard, rushed and slaughtered, straight into the city, and more than a thousand defenders in the city were crushed at the first touch. Jiahe Weizhi County took advantage of the night to escape with his family, Jiahewei Town guarded thousands of households to escape, and the remaining soldiers fled if they could, and all those who couldn't escape surrendered.
At this point, Jiahewei was captured and changed hands overnight. β¦,
After the capture of Jiahewei, the extremely depressed Jurchen soldiers, who had been tortured by successive defeats and disobedience, went completely crazy, wantonly slaughtered, raped and plundered the whole city, and Amin acquiesced to this. After dawn, the massacre came to an end, and less than 1,000 of the more than 16,000 people in Jiahewei survived.
At this time, the Northeast was sparsely populated, and the shortcomings of the news closure were undoubtedly revealed, and it was not until September 15 that the general of Liaobei received the news of the capture of Jiahewei.

Ba Hulu.
In the Jurchen language, this is the meaning of the place of abundance where the two rivers meet, and in fact, it is exactly what the name suggests. This is where the Manhe River flows into the Heilongjiang River, where the two mighty rivers meet, nurturing the abundance on both banks, on both sides is an endless grassland, with rivers and lakes all over it, rich in products, and occasionally you can see some low shrubs and very sparse woods.
It is very rich, with plenty of game to feed thousands of strong men who eat a lot of food, and the territory is wide enough to stretch as far as the eye can see, and it is difficult for the enemy to attack. What's more, the location here is moderate, and it happens to be stuck at a critical point, if the resolute army wants to return, even if it doesn't pass by here, it will definitely not be able to go around the surrounding hundreds of miles!
However, this place is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no danger of leaking traces.
So Lian Zining set up the camp here, and at this time, countless tents had been erected on the prairie, like snow-white mushrooms that thrive after the rain.
