Chapter 45: The Battle of Salhu: Waiting

The battle of Sarhu is finally here!

At night, after the tent was set up, Gu Xiao also specially ordered his subordinates not to sleep too hard, and then prepared all the preparations in the military camp that could be used to deal with the night attack and other preparations before returning to his tent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this moment, in this barracks, the person who speaks most effectively is already him.

After all, most of the remaining soldiers and horses came from Shaanxi and Gansu, and almost no one who came from Shaanxi and Gansu had not heard of his name Geng Shaonan. He has the most soldiers and horses, so even those general soldiers who are theoretically at the same level as him have to obediently obey orders in the face of his fists now.

After arranging some soldiers and horses to keep vigil, Gu Xiao returned to his tent and began to close his eyes and meditate.

At this moment, in this handsome tent, there is no one except himself.

Battle of Sarhu! Whether I can reverse the destiny of heaven or not depends on this battle! Gu Xiao sat on the handsome chair and pondered. He has now arrived at this Salhu, tomorrow's battle, whether his 20,000 soldiers and horses can win or not, but it is related to the entire Liaodong war situation!

You must know that the battle of Salhu is all because in this Salhu, more than 20,000 elites of the main force of the Ming army and more than 40,000 main soldiers and horses of the six banners of Houjin fought a decisive battle here. Therefore, tomorrow's war is really very important.

Gu Xiao's mind kept flashing all his impressions of the Battle of Sarhu.

The Battle of Salhu ended with the defeat of the Ming army and the victory of the Later Jin army. After this battle, the Houjin army took advantage of the situation to capture Kaiyuan and Tieling, conquered the Yehe department, the chieftains Jintaiji and Buyangu were killed, and the rest of the troops surrendered to Jianzhou. In 1619, the Gwanghaejun of the Joseon Dynasty sent an envoy to the Later Jin to express his gratitude in the fifth lunar month of the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, and from then on adopted a neutral policy towards the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty until Injo was anyway.

The news of the defeat in the battles of Salhu, Shangjian Cliff and Niumaozhai reached Shuntianfu, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The price of rice in Suncheonfu immediately rose sharply.

Yang Hao, the commander of the Ming army, immediately resigned after the defeat, and was later detained, and Chongzhen was executed in the second year. Juniper and Liu Ling had died on the battlefield, and Marin had died in Kaiyuan three months later. The four main generals of the Ming army have lost three of them, and only Li Rubai has never encountered the enemy, but he was impeached a few days after the battle. A year and a half later, the Liao affair was even worse, and the matter was mentioned again, and Li Rubai committed suicide to clarify his ambition.

For everything that is at stake in this war. Gu Xiao couldn't be more clear. Because from then on, until the Chongzhen period, the Jiashen Change, the Ming Dynasty never won in the large-scale battle against the Houjin, almost all of them were defeated! Fiasco! Fiasco!

Even though in the Apocalypse and the early years of Chongzhen, famous generals such as Zhao Shulun, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, Heiyunlong, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Xiong Tingbi, Mao Wenlong and other famous generals emerged, but the initiative on the battlefield has always been firmly grasped in the hands of Houjin.

As for Yuan Chonghuan, he is simply a braggart king, and if he really fights, it will be a mess. He yelled all day long that he had killed wild boar skins in Ningyuan City. But anyone with a little historical knowledge knows that almost half a year after the Battle of Ningyuan, the wild boar skin died.

After being hit by the cannon, it can last for almost half a year, and the most important thing is that in this half year, the wild boar skin has also been on the battlefield twice, so is the wild boar skin really not a human being?

As for the rest of the war, it's even more ridiculous. Those so-called great victories. Either it wasn't Yuan Chonghuan who won the battle at all, but someone else who won the battle; Either that, or just nothing. Yuan Chonghuan has been the Jiliao Governor for a year, and he shouted that he had won the battle for three days, but he couldn't take out a single head.

In this era of cold weapons. has always paid attention to using human heads to prove his military exploits, and Yuan Chonghuan has never taken out even a human head to prove his military exploits. In this way, how much water is there in his so-called victory, it is really impossible not to put a big question mark!

Gu Xiao knew very well that if the Ming Dynasty didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, like in history. If you are dragged to death by the thieves in Shaanxi and the Jianyu in Liaodong, then this battle of Sarhu is a victory and not a defeat! Because this timing determines that if this station is won, then Jianyu will no longer be able to become a climate.

At this time, it was the time when Jianyu had just established the country, and the Jianyu at this moment was far from the extent that later generations called "Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000 people, and 10,000 are invincible", and in the entire Ming Dynasty, the fear of Jurchen has not yet been formed. Moreover, even within the Jurchens, there was no complete unity.

It is true to say that he is the most powerful ruler within the Jurchens, but it is pure nonsense to say that he has completely unified the Jurchens. Moreover, today's Jurchens are divided into three parts, and the wild boar skin is just the most powerful leader among the Jianzhou Jurchens!

Therefore, at this moment, if he can defeat the main force of the wild boar skin in one fell swoop, then his internal is just the Jurchen tribes that he has just completed the integration, and they are bound to rise up to rebel. You must know that the Manchurians of later generations will have so much loyalty to the Aixin Jueluo family of wild boar skin.

On the one hand, it is because of the more than 200 years of enslavement education in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has made the whole world, except for the emperor, all the people have become slaves. On the other hand, it is because of the hardcore crops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, which has made the entire Manchuria extremely loyal to the Aixin Jueluo family.

And now, Jianyu is only a new state, and the Boar Skin's internal rule is almost entirely based on his own invincible prestige. There are still a considerable number of Jurchen nobles, and they are still in a situation of dissatisfaction with the rule of wild boar skins.

As long as his myth of invincibility is broken, the future that awaits the so-called Dajin Kingdom that has just been established will inevitably be a catastrophe!

Tomorrow's battle will be the most thrilling battle of my life! Thinking about all the key points, Gu Xiao clenched his Blood Dragon Sword tightly, at this moment, he could feel that his Blood Dragon Sword was constantly buzzing, it seemed that this Blood Dragon Sword was no longer to be outdone, and wanted to drink the blood of the enemy!

Gu Xiao could feel that the sword intent on his body, which had already been controlled, had begun to boil at this moment, and he seemed to be unable to control his sword intent that had begun to be filled with killing aura. He really has an impulse in his heart now, an urge to have a hearty and happy fight!

Time passed slowly, Gu Xiao never felt sleepy, he always held his blood dragon sword tightly and sat on his handsome chair.

"Junmen, it's been three shifts." Finally, after I don't know how long it took, a noise began to sound from outside the tent, and the soldiers began to get up one after another, and then gathered outside Gu Xiao's handsome tent and whispered.

Has it been three shifts? Thinking of the order he gave yesterday afternoon, Gu Xiao finally came back to his senses, and found that in his unconscious contemplation, this time had really passed for a long time, and the soldiers and horses outside had already begun to get up and prepare for the battle that would surely come in his mouth.

"Pass the order, kill pigs and sheep, and reward the three armies!" Gu Xiao walked out of his handsome tent calmly, and at this moment there was no tiredness on his face, as if he had not rested all night, not himself, and ordered as soon as he came out of the handsome tent.

"Yes, Junmen!" A few of his own soldiers quickly ran to the auxiliaries to convey his orders.

Since ancient times, there has always been an unwritten rule in this army: whenever there is a great war, pigs and sheep must be slaughtered so that the brothers can be fed! On the one hand, eating meat gives the brothers more strength, and on the other hand, it is also for the brothers.

After all, after every major war, there are a considerable number of people who will never be able to open their eyes again.

This is similar to the decapitation meal in prison, except that after eating the decapitation meal, basically no one has the life to eat it again. And this good meat before the war, the brothers don't have a certain number!

Soon, a fragrant fragrance began to fill the entire barracks, and almost all the soldiers were eating this rare and good meat that could be eaten openly.

Finally, at dawn, in Gu Xiao's ears, a chaotic sound of horses' hooves began to be heard in the distance, and the warriors were finally full of food and drink. (To be continued.) )
