"Dear Great Khan, this time our Horqin tribe followed you to fight the grass valley, although it is said that the harvest is rich, but we have lost more than 6oo warriors of the tribe, which is an unbearable burden for us Horqin. So we are against continuing to attack the enemy camp. ”

Ilduzi said.

Hearing this, Nurhachi was stunned at first, but soon he felt extremely angry: "What did you say? You don't want to attack the enemy camp? ”

Nurhachi's anger was a source of fear for Ilduzi, and as Nurhachi won back-to-back battles, his prestige grew.

There are fewer and fewer people who dare to confront him, but in order to avoid too many casualties among his own warriors, Ilduqi still stubbornly said: "Yes, this time we have 5ooo warriors, and more than 6ooo have been killed in battle, even if we grab a lot of things, we can't make up for these losses." Therefore, we hope that you will give up attacking this large camp, the army of King Wu is very strong, and we will suffer very heavy losses when attacking this large camp. ”

The struggle on the steppe was brutal.

The big tribes will always encroach on the interests of the smaller tribes and then make themselves stronger.

The Korqin tribe also had many enemies, such as the Chahar and Khalkha, which were very powerful Mongol tribes.

If there are not enough warriors to defend their tribe, even the Korqin tribe will sooner or later be annexed by other tribes.

The alliance between Korqin and the Jurchens was to defend themselves against being annexed by other Mongol tribes. But if such an alliance seriously harms their interests and even puts Korqin in danger, they will also consider rejecting the Jurchens' request.

Nurhachi looked at Ilduzi with a grim face. He couldn't remember how long it had been since someone had dared to talk to him like that.

Ilduzi's words made him feel that his dignity had been trampled upon.

"How can you be like this? If you don't fall behind when you grab things, I'm afraid that there will be fewer things to rob than us. How can it be delayed as soon as it comes to war? You have died a lot of warriors? Aren't we dead? We have died more warriors than yours! We have more than 3,000 warriors dead! ”

Seeing this, Mang Gurtai stood up and scolded Ilduqi.

Ilduzi also knew that his approach was a bit unauthentic, but for the sake of the tribe, he had to do it.

The law of the jungle is the law of the prairie that will never change, and no one will have mercy on you when the tribe is wiped out.

Huang Taiji glanced at them coldly, but did not speak.

"Ilduzi. Darhan, Zarguzi. Don't you feel ashamed to do this? ”

Nurhachi said as she held back her anger.

"Great Khan, I hope you can understand our plight?"

Zarguzi also stood up and said.

Nurhachi's face was as black as a pot of coal, and he thought about it, and felt that he still couldn't push his only ally too much.

So he said, "Okay then." Tomorrow you will not attack the enemy camp. However, I hope that you can help guard the camp and guard against the Ming army, and our defense of the four cities in the Guannai is a little empty, so I hope you can send troops to help defend it. ”

"I guess there's no problem with that."

Ilduzi hurriedly agreed.

As long as you don't fight with the opposing army, everything can be promised.

Those subordinates of King Wu were frightened by his father, Darhan Baturu, and insisted on not participating in the attack on King Wu under any circumstances.

Moreover, in the past few days, he has also fought with the enemy with his cavalry, and found that the enemy is indeed not weak.

After Ilduzi left, Mang Gurtai couldn't help but roar loudly.

"Those Mongols are such a bunch of cowards who shamelessly betrayed us."

Hear here. Nurhachi, who was already in a bad mood, felt even more irritable.

He pointed at Mang Gurtai and scolded: "You brute, don't shut up for me, if you talk more, get out of here." ”

Seeing Nurhachi, he was furious. Mang Gurtai hurriedly closed his mouth.

Huang Taiji glanced at Mang Gurtai with a sneering expression, and he knew that this would be the result.

This Mang Gurtai was always an impulsive reckless man, and he was not liked by Nurhachi, and he was the only one who was the ideal candidate for the Great Khan.

After Ilduzi and the others left, Nurhachi had no intention of discussing any attack plan and drove them all out. He was the only one left sulking in the big tent.

****

****

The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.

In front of Lu Yan's camp, a large number of Jurchen corpses were piled up. The ground had been completely stained red with blood, and many flies buzzed around the corpses.

A large number of Jurchens with shields were struggling to advance among the corpses.

It's just that there is a little trepidation on their faces, and they have long lost the brave appearance they had when they first came.

This was the fifth day of their attack, and when they first launched an attack on the enemy camp, their morale was indeed high, and they vowed to flatten the enemy camp in one fell swoop.

But the enemy's artillery and the dense rain of arrows and projectiles taught them what a real defense is.

On the first day of the attack alone, they lost more than 3,000 casualties and more than 6ooo casualties.

Such huge casualties shocked all the Jurchen high-ranking people, but on the contrary, they achieved very little success, only filling in the enemy's trenches.

Even those soldiers did not touch the enemy camp at all.

So in the next few days, many banner lords Baylor began to retain their strength, and they were unwilling to send their own men to their deaths.

Even if he attacked, he coped with the situation, and after a little resistance, he led his troops to retreat.

In response, Nurhachi was furious and dismissed more than 30 Houjin generals from their official positions, and beheaded three of them for public display.

In addition, about 5oo Jurchens were also cut off their noses and demoted to clothed minions to punish them for escaping in this battle.

Such a harsh punishment made the Jurchens even more ferocious in their attacks. But the consequence has been that casualties have skyrocketed.

So far, more than 7,000 Jurchens have been killed and more than 15,000 wounded.

You must know that the Jurchen army this time is less than 50,000, and more than half of the casualties have already been lost. What frightened them the most was that the enemy smeared dung on the cluster of arrows.

Many of the wounded in their battalion had begun to have a high fever and their wounds were beginning to fester.

If you are shot in the limbs, it is fine, as long as the limbs are cut off, you can still live.

But if you shoot in the body, it's over, and you can only die out.

Lu Yan's divine arm crossbow has an extremely long range, and it has a strong advantage over the Jurchens.

As long as they are shot, even if they are wounded and make it out of the battlefield alive, they will die soon after.

As a result, the morale of the Jurchens became more and more depressed. Completely see going to the battlefield as a daunting path.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“……”

In Lu Yan's camp, those artillery began to wield. Shoot a large number of shotshots into the ranks of the charging Jurchens.

Then a mist of blood was thrown out of the infantry groups of the Jurchens, and those shields were of no use at all in the face of these scattered bullets.

They were smashed to pieces, and the Jurchens were swept to the ground in pieces, and then they could never get up again.

The remaining Jurchens could only hold back their fear. Keep charging forward.

It was impossible to break through those fences with horses, so only infantry could be dispatched.

However, the infantry moved too slowly, and suffered heavy losses after being fired at by the guns and crossbows.

Coupled with the dense artillery, they often lost most of their forces before they could reach the effective range of bows and arrows.

With a sneering smile on his face, Lu Yan sat back and watched the Jurchens come to die.

In fact, as long as there is no problem with the quality of the firearms, then there is absolutely no problem in resisting the attack of the Jurchens.

The reason why the Ming army has been defeating is that the poor quality of firearms is definitely a very important reason.

In order to avoid the occurrence of explosions, the Ming army will reduce the amount of charge. The consequence of this was that the projectiles fired could not kill the Jurchens at all.

On the contrary, he did not have this problem, with the strength of the Jurchens, if he wanted to break through his camp, Lu Yan estimated that it would be possible at least until the gunpowder was exhausted.

Things didn't turn out as he expected. About half an hour later, the Jurchens once again left behind their corpses and retreated.

Nurhachi looked at the battlefield in the distance with a grim face, but his eyes revealed a little helplessness, even timidity.

The battlefield was full of Jurchen corpses and broken flags, and from time to time there were bursts of wailing sounds from dying horses, which made him feel even more desolate in his heart.

Mang Gurtai's face was also very ugly. In order to get the Zhenghong Banner in his hands, he sent a considerable number of troops to charge into battle. As a result, these forces are at least half of them here.

This made him regret a little that he didn't do it at the beginning, he knew that it would be like this, and he should have retained some strength.

Huang Taiji's face was also dark, although he had been quietly retaining his strength, but how could this be hidden from Nurhachi's eyes, so he was also scolded by Nurhachi.

He glanced at Nurhachi, who had a complicated look in his eyes, and knew that he had broken away.

At present, they are really broken, and if they continue to fight, maybe they Jurchens will face a great crisis.

You must know that their Jurchen population is very small, and they make enemies on three sides.

Lin Dan Khan is eyeing them in the west, Ming in the south, and North Korea in the east.

It's fine if they can win all the time, but if they lose, these people are likely to pounce on them and bite them.

Darhan and the others on the side were rejoicing, fortunately they had long refused to attack the enemy camp, otherwise they would have died a lot.

After discovering that the enemy had retreated, there was a roar of rage from the enemy camp.

"Do you dare to fight!"

"Do you dare to fight!"

"Do you dare to fight!"

“……”

The roar of tens of thousands of people was clearly heard by both the Jurchens and the Mongols.

Hearing this, those Jurchens and Mongols not only did not have the slightest desire to fight, but lowered their heads.

Every time the enemy retreated, Lu Yan would order the soldiers to roar.

In this way, the morale of their soldiers became higher and higher, but the morale of the Jurchens became more and more depressed.

"Poof!"

Nurhachi suddenly felt a rush of blood rush up his throat, and then his eyes went dark, and he fell from his horse. (To be continued)
