PS: This is chapter 305.

It is more than a thousand miles from Yongping Mansion to Shenyang, and Shanhaiguan is in the hands of the Ming army, so there is no way to return to the old nest from the more accessible Liaoxi Corridor. More than a thousand miles, most of which are mountain roads, even if the army abandons the captured Ming people, abandons all the wealth they have robbed, and rushes back lightly, it will take at least half a month.

And the pursuers led by Sun Chuanting can enter Liaodong through Shanhaiguan, maybe they can go faster than themselves.

If Sun Chuanting's tens of thousands of troops returned to Liaodong, he would face more than 100,000 Ming troops, and surround Liaoshen from three directions.

At the beginning of the Battle of Salhu, although they were also outflanked by several Ming troops, the Eight Banners marched quickly and broke through each one, which did not allow the Ming army to penetrate deep into Jianzhou at all, and did no harm to the people of the Banners.

And now it is different, the Ming army has captured the entire Jianzhou, the next step will be to go deep into the Liaohe Plain, the war will take place in the hinterland of Dajin State, even if the Ming army can be defeated, the people of the Eight Banners will also be seriously injured, I don't know how many people will die tragically under the Ming saber.

There are hundreds of thousands of bannermen in the entire Dajin country, and once that kind of consequence happens, I am afraid that there will be no day to turn over!

Therefore, the pursuing Ming army must be defeated before returning to the division, so that no reinforcements from the Ming Kingdom dare to go deep into Liaodong, and then we can calmly deal with that damn Lu Xiangsheng!

Huang Taiji quickly made up his mind and began to deploy.

"Yue Tuo, you lead more than 100 horsemen to Jibei, go to the Tushetu Department and the Shan Subdi Department, tell the Tushetu Khan about them, so that they don't have to retreat to Mongolia, and immediately lead the Mongolian cavalry of the department to Yongping Mansion, and take the cities of Yongping together with Ben Khan, and tell them that as long as they are honest and obedient, they will be given 20% of what they have plundered, and if they dare to disobey Ben Khan's orders, Ben Khan will eradicate his subordinates, and all the Mongols in his subordinates will be reduced to slaves!" Huang Taiji commanded first.

When attacking the Ming Kingdom, he brought 20,000 Mongolian servant troops, and after breaking through the border wall and entering Jibei, first, because these Mongols refused to work hard, and secondly, they didn't want these Mongols to loot too much wealth to increase their strength, so Huang Taiji sent them back, but the Mongols did not honestly retreat outside the Saiwai, but were plundering on the front line of the Great Wall.

Now that the war with the Ming army is imminent, it is natural to call the Mongols to help. 20,000 Mongol cavalry, even if the combat strength is a little weaker, is still a powerful force.

At this time, it is good to have a little more power in your hands!

"Yes, Great Khan!" Belle Yueto took the men with him.

Now just arrived at the border of Yongping Province, only one or two hundred miles away from Jibei, Yue Tuo quickly whipped his horse, and in two or three days, he could bring the Mongols to help!

"Second brother, we not only want to annihilate the pursuing Ming army, but also have to return to Shenyang quickly, so we must first open the way to return. I will give you 5,000 battalion soldiers plus 500 escorts, and you will take them to Yongping Mansion by suicide, capture the county town of Qian'an in the north of Yongping Mansion, and then attack the Lengkou side wall to open the road to the outside of the Saiwai! Huang Taiji ordered people to unfold the map and point to Qian'an Lengkou and other places to do good.

Dai Shan nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will definitely open up a retreat for the army!" ”

Although the number of troops given to him is not much, the five hundred protectors are definitely the most elite army, and the total number of the escort battalions in the entire Dajin Kingdom is only three thousand. The most important thing is that in Yongping Mansion, except for Shanhaiguan, which is heavily guarded, there are not many troops in other places, and Dai Shan has absolute confidence that he can quickly take Qian'an and other cities and capture the exit of the border wall!

Dai Shan also led the troops, and Huang Taiji began to think about how to deal with Sun Chuanting, who was pursuing.

According to the report from the sentinel, Sun Chuanting followed the army for more than 20 miles, and the army also entered him, and the army stopped and stopped, which was very annoying.

Huang Taiji understood what Sun Chuanting was thinking, he wanted to slow down the march of the Eight Banners Army and prevent himself from retreating to Shenyang too easily, but Sun Chuanting did not have the confidence to repel himself, so he did not dare to take the initiative to engage in the battle.

Of course, Sun Chuanting will not always stop attacking, but will wait for the armies from all walks of life to gather, and he will take the initiative to attack after feeling that he is sure. According to the report of the sentinels, in the past few days, three Ming armies came from all over the country and joined Sun Chuanting's army, and now Sun Chuanting's total strength is almost 60,000 or 70,000 people.

Sun Chuanting could wait, but Huang Taiji couldn't wait, he had to quickly annihilate Sun Chuanting's army, and then quickly return to Shenyang.

Sun Chuanting's command of the army was very stable, and a large number of cavalry sentinels were sent on the march, and the team was divided into forward and rear guards, and everything was in order. Huang Taiji once tried to send cavalry to attack, but Sun Chuanting's troops were always able to quickly switch from marching to battle mode, and discharged a large number of off-the-beaten-box chariots, so that the cavalry could not break through the defense at all and had to retreat.

If it was a normal battle, even if Sun Chuanting's army could be defeated, it would inevitably suffer a lot of losses, and it would take a long time. Huang Taiji didn't want to lose too much and didn't want to waste time, so he had to find another way.

After thinking about it carefully, Huang Taiji looked at the prisoner camp.

In the prisoner camp, more than 100,000 young and strong people of the Ming Kingdom were escorted back to their hometowns outside the customs to be slaves, and they farmed and worked for the banner people. The number of Dajin national flagmen is too small, and the main task of the bannermen is to train and fight, and the production manpower has been insufficient, which has caused a shortage of food and materials, and it is simply impossible to maintain without troops and plunder.

And with the population plundered from the Ming Kingdom, the strength of the Dajin Kingdom will grow rapidly, and it will be able to produce more grain and weave more cloth, making the country even stronger. 、

Huang Taiji has always had the idea of reorganizing the Mongols and Han Chinese into the Eight Banners, just like the Eight Banners of Manchuria! The number of Manchurian Eight Banners is too small, and there is no way to do this, but if the Mongols and Han Chinese can also be incorporated into the Eight Banners and trained according to the Eight Banners model method, over time, they will definitely be able to obtain a large number of elite forces, which can greatly make up for the scarcity of Manchurian Eight Banners.

However, the reorganization of the army requires war horses, weapons, money, food, salaries and silver, and it is simply impossible to do it with the current national strength of the Dajin Kingdom. Therefore, Huang Taiji thought of making a detour to Mongolia to rob the Ming Kingdom, with the purpose of rapidly increasing the national strength of Dajin.

So until the emergency moment, Huang Taiji was reluctant to throw away these more than 100,000 people of the Ming Kingdom.

But now there is no way, these people seriously delayed the speed of the march, so that it was impossible to get rid of the pursuit of the Ming army.

But if he directly let them go or kill them, Huang Taiji was a little reluctant.

That's just a waste of it! Use these people as cannon fodder, drive these people to storm the camp of the Ming army, and then defeat Sun Chuanting and annihilate the 60,000 Ming army!

More than 100,000 lives are nothing in Huang Taiji's eyes!

Instantly made up his mind, Huang Taiji immediately called the generals and began to deploy.
