This kind of thinking is very prevalent among the Jurchens, not only the aristocratic lords, but also the common people.

When Dai Shan was looking at the dense forest in the distance, Lian Zining was also looking at him.

In other words, looking at this small town of Salhu.

History is always strikingly similar, in this time and space, there is no Sarhu, but there is this.

He already knew a lot about the city of Salhu, but of course, the source of the news was not Nurhachi. In fact, although he led a large army to this place, Lian Zining's understanding of the Jurchens was still relatively limited, at least he did not have a clear understanding of the details of the deployment of troops.

Just because he doesn't know doesn't mean others don't know.

For example, those wild people who live in the dense forests - they are the indigenous people born and raised in the northeast, the Hezhe, Daur, Xibe, Oroqen, Evenki, Kirgiz, etc., when this land was still called the Black Water Eagle, their ancestors have galloped here.

More than 1,000 years of reproduction have actually made their number quite huge, and the ethnic minorities in the entire Northeast add up to at least one million, but the territory is too big, and if they are scattered in such a large territory, they will not see anything.

Although the Jurchens disparagingly called them savages, they were actually one family more than a thousand years ago, and the Jurchens did not mix very well.

In the dense forest between the harbor and the Salhu was a small tribe, and they were members of the Jurchens, also known as wild Jurchens, who called themselves the Horgen.

The tribe is not big, only five or six hundred people, Wu Yijun through the dense forest such a big movement of course can't hide them, Lian Zining ordered them to be exterminated, and it was also the patriarch who saw the opportunity and immediately surrendered and gave a lot of savings in the clan. And after learning of the intentions of the army, he immediately said that he would lead the way for Wu Yijun.

"My lord, there are five thousand troops stationed in Sarhu, but they certainly can't compare with the warriors under your command, and there are old men among them. There are children. Thirty years ago, the people of the Yehnara tribe came here, and since then the tribes around us have been in bad luck, and they have forced us to sell them a lot of mountain goods every month, and the prices are very low......"

"Look at that person, he is in charge of this business, his name is Daishan. It is the servant of the lord of Salhu Wanhu Delenza......"

The patriarch of the Holgen tribe is ten old men, his eyebrows and beards are gray, but his eyes are also good, his legs and feet are also very neat, and his speech is especially convenient. Lian Zining had a great understanding of Salhu and even the nearby Jurchen-controlled area from his mouth, of course. I also listened to a lot of nonsense.

The old man didn't know Chinese, and Nurhachi was translating.

Lian Zining nodded, signaling that he knew. With a wave of his hand, he asked Nurhachi to take him down.

He carefully observed the terrain outside the woods, and frowned slightly, the edge of the dense forest was rolling hills, and less than two miles away was the city wall of Salhu. In the middle of the two, there is a shallow river, which is not wide, only about seven or eight meters. The old man just said that the river is only a man's leg deep. But this obstacle was enough to slow down the soldiers, and the baggage they were carrying was forced to stay on the other side of the river.

"It's a nuisance!" Lian Zining observed again and again and confirmed that the Jurchens did not leave troops on the other side of the river, which was a relief.

He looked up at the sky and said to the generals who were waiting for orders: "Order the army to get ready, in half an hour." Attack together. Dazhu, the dragoon led the dragoon to carry the cannon to quickly cross the river, and opened artillery bombardment a hundred zhang away, Yang Husheng, Nurhachi, Jin, each led the headquarters from the northeast and west to copy the past, covering up and killing on all sides, and no one was allowed to let go! Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first battle of our expedition to the north, only to win but not to lose, not only to win, but also to win! Remember, I want no one to be let go! ”…,

"The last will obey! No one will let go! The generals shouted in unison.

Xia Zikai stood aside, but when he saw that the first battle had nothing to do with himself, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but he didn't show it on his face. Lian Zining suddenly smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and called his cousin: "Wanchun, don't be in a hurry first, clean up the battlefield, you have to do it with the tenth guard!" ”

Xia Zi happily comprehended and hurriedly received the order to thank him.

Lian Zining snorted, and the generals went down one after another to get ready.

Daishan is still waiting, like a wangfu stone.

However, his patience in his heart had almost reached the limit, pointing to the dense forest in the distance and scolding, greeting the sensitive organs of the eighteenth generation of the old patriarch in the Holgen family who did not know how many times. The viciousness of its language made more than a dozen Jurchen soldiers in the city and under the city cover their ears with their spears and talk in a heap.

Suddenly, Dai Shan's voice suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter? Why didn't Lord Daishan scold? A soldier grinned and whispered to his companion.

They looked up with their heads up, but saw Dai Shan stretching out his right arm, posing in the shape of a bow and arrow, his fingers trembling violently, his lips echoing his fingers, and his face was pale. His lips fluttered nervously, but he couldn't say a word.

"Lord Daishan, is this a demon?" Everyone gloated and speculated to themselves.

At this time, in Dai Shan's pupils, there was a scene that shocked him.

I saw that in the dense forest, countless knights poured out, hundreds or thousands, like ants, dense, uncountable, they rode on war horses, galloped wildly, but because the distance was a little far, Daishan could not hear any sound, it looked like a group of ghost cavalry towards this side. There were also many war horses among them, and there were no people sitting, and they did not know what they were carrying on them.

A big flag with a red background fluttered in the wind, thanks to his good background, Daishan had learned Chinese, and a few big characters on it Wu Yijun blinded his eyes in the sun.

A tidal wave of enemies poured out of the dense forest.

"Huh? How is the earth shaking? A Jurchen soldier wondered.

It was at this time that Daishan finally came back to his senses, and a terrible howl came out of his throat: "There is an enemy! Wu Yijun is coming! ”

"Wu Yijun called? Let's pull my mother's eggs! A Jurchen soldier scolded in a disdainful whisper: "Wu Yijun is still staying in the south of the Songhua River, but they can't be around for long, who doesn't know, General Gangyi is besieging them with an army of 100,000, I'm afraid that those Han dogs have been killed now." ”

The other Jurchens were also unconvinced.

"Close the gates! Men and women of the city, hurry up and close the city gates! Dai Shan shouted, and saw the soldiers below looking at him with a mocking expression. couldn't help jumping to his feet in anger and scolded: "Dog, if you don't believe Lao Tzu's words, get up and take a look yourself!" ”

And when the people saw him, he did not seem to be a hypocrite. He climbed the city gate tower full of suspicion, and when he saw it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he was at a loss in panic.

These soldiers have always been stationed in the interior, and they can't even get a chance to fight, so they say they are soldiers. I'm afraid I didn't even see a little blood except when I was fighting and bullying the savages.

At this time, in the face of the cavalry that came like a tide, they were all confused.

"Close the gates, close the gates! You dogs! Dai Shan reacted and scolded point-at-finger.

The soldiers woke up like a dream, and a few people went down, and with a bang, slammed the heavy wooden door shut, and slammed it into the latch. That's what it means to put your mind at ease.

"Ring the bell! Call the police! Daishan scolded again. …,

"Yes, yes." A soldier answered the bell and hurried to ring the bell, only to be hit. Since this bell has been hung here, it has not been maintained for decades, and it has long been covered with patina, and it seems to be a big crack after making a piercing buzz.

Dumb!

"Fuck!"

Dai Shan was anxious and angry, and scolded angrily, only to feel dizzy for a while.

"Ling, Ling, Ling! A few of them, they ran down the street and shouted. Let's just say that Wu Yijun's fight came. Daishan ordered the task, went down to the city and got on the horse, beat the horse and galloped, and went to the Wanhu Mansion to report the news.

The dragoons quickly reached the small river, they slowed down one after another, and Shi Dazhu waved his hand: "Bathymetry!" ”

A dozen horsemen carefully beat their horses down. Soon the river was crossed, and the water did not even reach the belly of a horse.

Shi Dazhu put his mind at ease: "Cross the river!" ”

This time, Lian Zining went on the expedition, and considering the problem of mobility, he did not bring many cannons - only 50 medium Franc cannons, 100 small Franc cannons and 50 Tiger squat cannons. No matter how much it brings, it will drag down the mobility of the army, which is not in line with Lian Zining's previous established tactical spirit, and the gains outweigh the losses. Moreover, the defense of the city can give full play to the role of artillery, and the deployment of too many cannons will reduce the firepower of the defense of the city.

Zhenyuan Mansion is the foundation.

These cannons, along with the accompanying artillerymen, are now part of the dragoons. There were many more war horses in their sequence, some of them had cannon barrels fixed on their bodies, some were carrying guns and primers, and the gunners rode horses, carefully guarding these treasures on the side, as if they were serving children.

Fortunately, the small sample Franc cannon weighs only one or two hundred pounds, and the medium Franc cannon is only four hundred and twenty pounds, which is still the weight that the war horse can bear, anyway, there are many war horses, and they can be rotated.

Seeing that the dragoons had crossed the river, Lian Zining, who was observing from a distance, was relieved.

"It seems that the Jurchens have indeed been comfortable for too long, and they have laxed to such an extent." Lian Zining thought to himself half happily and half regretfully. Those Haixi Jurchens who fought against the Wu Yi Army, no matter what the results were, at least they had military literacy, and if those elites were stationed, they would definitely have to be stationed here.

Of course, Salhu had been peaceful for a long time, and they had no idea that Wu Yijun would attack.

When Wu Yijun crossed the river, the Jurchen soldiers of Salhu were still looking at this side in panic, they clenched the spears in their hands tightly, and the tension made them swallow their saliva, they watched Wu Yijun continue to approach, and the red background flag became more and more conspicuous, but they didn't know what to do.

They were almost crying, they were scared and panicked in their hearts, they didn't even have a backbone, even if a Shangguan came here now and ordered them to die, it was better than this feeling of helplessness and extreme powerlessness!

However, the armament of Salhu is extremely lax, and now there is not even a single person in charge of affairs at this south gate, except for a few soldiers.

When Wu Yijun stopped far away, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they saw these Wu Yi soldiers get off their horses, unload big iron tube-like things from them, and unload small carts from the carriage. Placed and fixed on the ground.

The Jurchens were a little dumbfounded, and they couldn't guess what these Han people were doing.

But they quickly understood.

"My lord, the artillery position has been constructed and is ready to shoot at any time!"

Liu Zhen, the deputy of the artillery Qianhu Station of the army, came to Shi Dazhu on his horse. Reported loudly.

"Fire!" Shi Dazhu said coldly.

"Fire!"

Liu Zhen beat his horse to the front of the formation, shouted loudly, and the red flag in his hand fell heavily. …,

The artillerymen lit the fuse, and with a loud rumbling bang, the sound of the cannon resounded throughout the small town of Salhu.

Because it was a close shooting of 300 meters, and there was no harassment, the artillerymen played very well. Almost most of the shells hit the city walls. The cannonballs smashed heavily on the rammed earth city wall of Salhu, and at that moment the extremely thick and not solid city wall was smashed, and many of the shells landed on the cracks like spider webs.

Seeing that the walls are about to fall!

As a city gate, it was naturally taken care of, and a medium-sized Franco cannon hit the city gate squarely, and the city gate was blown to pieces at the moment, and the city gate made of wood was shattered. A few Jurchen soldiers who were dodging in the back were also stoned to death. And the city gate building was also hit, and Hula collapsed, crushing the few helpless Jurchen soldiers below.

There is only one dead end.

But it was a way to understand their suffering. At least they died simply, and compared with those compatriots who were worse than dead in the future, they were already too much happier.

There was no need for them to call the police this time, and the earth-shattering sound of artillery instantly turned the entire Salhu into a pot of porridge.

"Beat Lao Tzu, beat it hard, kill these dog-damn tartars!"

Liu Zhen shouted viciously, the red flag in his hand kept rising and falling, and such wanton killing made him get great pleasure.

Finally, after three rounds of shelling. The devastated section of the city wall of the southern gate of Salhu fell to the ground, and the entire Salhu was like a bun that had been gnawed by a dog, revealing a big gap.

"Damn, it only took a few shots to fall? I can't help but fight! Liu Zhen slapped his thigh and roared in annoyance.

"Kill! Kill me in! Shi Dazhu drew his saber and roared angrily: "Your Excellency has an order." Don't seal the knife today! ”

The dragoons were stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers.

Don't seal the knife, this is just a little face, a little obscure statement, if it is more straightforward, that is-slaughter the city!

Kill as much as you want, kill as you like!

The dragoons followed Lian Zining the earliest, the most elite, and also suffered the heaviest losses in last year's Xishenwei defense battle, and many robes died at the hands of the Jurchens, so they naturally hated them to the core. They all screamed, like a bunch of suffocated wolf cubs, followed by Shi Dazhu, who had been holding back longer because he had been unable to go into battle to kill the enemy in person because he had followed Lian Zining, and went towards the middle of Salhu City.

At this time, the tidal cavalry poured out of the dense forest one after another, and it had formed a situation of encirclement.

An army of 10,000 thousand surrounded the small city of Sarhu.

In the city of Salhu, it is quite luxurious and luxurious, and it is the same as the mansion of the rich people in the Guannai, which is the Wanhu Mansion.

Salhu guards ten thousand households, the mansion of Lord Delenza.

At this time, in the hall, Delenza was already crowded like ants on a hot pot.

He is quite tall and fat, although he is not young, but his face is red, his face is ruddy, his hair is still black, and he is very energetic in the past. But now, his face was extremely anxious, and he walked up and down the hall, his mouth still nervous, and his hands were waving vigorously, and he was not afraid of throwing himself in pain......

The rumbling of cannons continued to be heard, and the city was already in chaos, children were crying, adults were shouting, and everyone hid in their homes, closed their doors, and shivered.

Thirty years of peace, no matter how sufficient the blood and courage of these Jurchens are, they have been almost worn out.

Delenza didn't have any ability, but he only relied on the relationship of fortitude to occupy this high position, and he had already lost his square inch at this time. And when he heard that Wu Yijun was calling, his wives and concubines were crying even more poignantly, and the cries from the back house could be heard here. …,

"Master, you have to think about it! Are we fighting or running? Daishan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded him.

Delenza ignored him, and at this time, the shelling suddenly stopped. There was a flash of hope in his eyes, and he walked quickly to the door.

After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a hundred households strode over. knelt on the ground and shouted with a crying voice: "Lord Wanhu, it's not good, the south gate city wall has been blasted open by Wu Yijun, and the cavalry has come in. Our people went up to block it for a while, and let them be scattered, and they couldn't be defeated! The other three city walls have also found the killed Wu Yi Army, my lord......"

"It's over, it's over!" Delenza shook his body, his face was ashen, and he sat on the ground. A big man actually hugged his head and cried.

"Master, we still have hope. We have a thousand cavalry, gather them, and maybe we can rush out!" Dai Shan shouted excitedly.

"It's over, it's over, there's no hope!" Delenzha cried with despair on his face, and suddenly a trace of hideousness appeared on his face, and he suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist and slashed at Daishan.

Dai Shan was caught off guard, and when he boarded, he cut him down, and half of his neck was broken. Blood gushed out, instantly wetting the ground. If you can't even shout, you're dead. Until he died, his eyes were wide and his face was full of incredible.

"Dog minion!" Delenza snorted at his corpse and wiped the knife on the sole of his boot. He scolded in disgust: "If you hadn't lost the south gate, why would it be like this? ”

The hundred households were already stupid, and Deleng slapped him in the face, and said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you kneel with me to meet the Heavenly Army?" ”

On the tenth day of August in the 52nd year of Zhengde, Wu Yi's army passed through hundreds of miles of dense forests, appeared in the rear of the Jurchen in Haixi, attacked Salhu, killed more than 2,000 defenders and 600 people. Salhu town guarded ten thousand households, and Delenzha personally led people to kneel to meet the Wuyi army, and surrendered the city.

"My lord, Salhu has descended! Salhu has descended! ”

Shi Dazhu's cavalry who had sent the news shouted loudly, his face full of excitement that could not be concealed.

This is the first battle of the northern conquest! It's such a big victory, how can you not make the soldiers excited?

"Down?" Lian Zining was slightly stunned, and then showed a smile: "It's a little interesting, it's better, it's always good to lose some manpower." ”

All in all, a great victory!

Sarhu's victory!

Lian Zining took a deep breath and looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, his expression was a little erratic.

In his own time and space, in addition to the famous Salhu War that decided the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchen Guozuo and made the Ming Dynasty sink into the abyss step by step, there was actually a Salhu War that shocked the world!

In the previous war, the Jurchen defeated the Ming army, and since then, the Ming national strength has declined, and in the northeast battlefield, it has completely changed from offensive to defensive, and Nurhachi has relied on this victory to embark on the road of hegemony.

But in the latter game, the result was the opposite. However, because of some people, this war is unknown.

In September of the first year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji was invincible because of the "Battle of Ding Mao", and he sent Heshuo Beile Mang Gurtai, Beile Zier Harang, and Liu Xingzuo, deputy commander-in-chief, to lead an army of 20,000 to attack the Dongjiang River, and was defeated by the defender Mao Wenlong, with more than 2,000 descendants. Liu Xingzuo led 400 cavalry to surrender on the battlefield and became the highest-ranking general of the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty, causing a great shock in the Later Jin Dynasty.

After Liu Xingzuo was reformed, he offered a plan to Mao Wenlong: his brothers, relatives and others were all in Salhu City, and they could be attacked and broken. Salhu is located in the rear of Houjin University, which is a place to store grain and grass, which is extremely important.

Mao Wenlong immediately sent his generals Geng Zhongming, Qu Chengen, etc., to lead the army to run thousands of miles, day and night, encountered the Houjin sentinel, immediately covered up and killed, arrived at the city of Salhu on the eighth day of October, sent a fine work into the city, secretly through Liu Xingzuo's brother Liu Xingxian, Liu Xingzhi, etc., inside and outside, in one fell swoop. After Geng Zhongming and others entered the city, they killed the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners in the city, beheaded 3,000 ranks, captured only 69 people, and returned to the division with the Liu brothers.

Since the rebellion of the Later Jin Dynasty, the capture of the Ming Dynasty city mostly relied on the meticulous internal response, and the city was often slaughtered after entering the city. As for the Dongjiang Army's "Salhu Victory", it should break through the Houjin Fortress and slaughter the city.

Lian Zining said softly: "Lian Mou won this great victory and sacrificed Dongjiang Mao Shuai from afar!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
