The Derg class was originally going to arrange for Azig to lead a group of elites out of the camp secretly in the early hours of the morning, and then touch the opposite bank from upstream.

Now it seems that there is no need to think about it at all, there are Ming troops everywhere.

"What a bastard, let me lead a team of men and horses to kill directly, and I will kill a bloody road." The rough Azig couldn't hold back any longer, and before he could get the consent of the Derge class, he stood up angrily, with a posture of immediately leading his troops into battle.

Derge was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to appease.

It seems that even if he is also the son of Nurhachi and the chief general of this Jianjian army, he does not dare to easily offend the little brother Azig.

Because the three brothers, Azig, Dolgon, and Dordor, were so loved by Nurhachi that each of them received a lot of cattle in their hands, which was a symbol of strength and status.

And in the imperfect system, the most important thing is to pay attention to strength, so even if Derge is the elder brother and the main general, it is not good to directly order Azig in a rough tone, not to mention that Azig's temper is still very bad.

But Azig obviously didn't appreciate it very much, and shouted mercilessly: "When did my Dajin elite ever be afraid of the Ming people? I know that forbearance, such a coward, it is simply insulting to my golden man's ambition. ”

"If you don't dare to fight, get out of the way and let Lao Tzu come."

In front of everyone, Azig's words were so ugly that Derge couldn't get off the stage, and he was very angry in his heart.

Just as he was about to reprimand a few words, Dolgon on the side hurriedly stood up, walked up to Azig and admonished: "Brother, it's getting late, we are not even sure of the location of the main force of Zu Dashou, and it is easy to fall into their trap. ”

"And even if we find them, when we send troops over, Zu Dashou will definitely flee quickly."

"As for the Ming army on the other side of the river, it is difficult for us to hide from them in our actions, and the risk of blindly attacking is indeed not small."

Hearing this, Derge wanted to say, both are brothers, why is the gap between the two of you so big?

Perhaps he understood Dolgon's words, or it may have been to save face for Dolgon's brother, Agzi didn't say anything more, but sat back in his place angrily.

Derge looked at Dolgon and said in a deep voice, "Fourteenth brother, tell me, what should we do now?" If left unchecked, I'm sure those bright dogs will be able to harass us all night. ”

The tall and thin Dolgon groaned slightly, and then said: "What Brother Ten said is extremely true, the Ming army only needs to send one or two thousand people, or even fewer troops, to attack and disturb in turn, so that we can't rest well all night. ”

"During this period of time, we have been entangled with the Ming army many times, and we have not fought any major battles, but the soldiers are tired, and if we do not get rest at night, it will definitely affect our morale, which is extremely unfavorable to us."

The Derge naturally understood, especially the Jurchen soldiers, in order to defend against the firearms of the Ming army, most of them wore multi-layered heavy armor, weighing dozens of catties.

These days, I have been constantly teased by the Ming army, and I have not fought any decent battles, and I have run away, and the people are tired, and the horses are also tired.

If you don't get enough rest even at night, people and horses will not be able to stand it, and morale will inevitably be affected a lot, which is very dangerous.

Derg nodded in agreement with what Dorgon had said, and waited for Dorgon to continue.

"The intention of the Ming army is obvious, that is, to exhaust our army, and then choose the opportunity to attack."

"However, some time ago, Zu Dashou has been entangled with us, presumably the soldiers are also very tired, in this case, we can't let them recuperate, I suggest that the soldiers give up rest and recuperate, and immediately send troops to drive away Zu Dashou's headquarters."

Derge was taken aback, and secretly said that your suggestion is no different from your brother Azig? So he hurriedly said: "The 20,000 Ming troops on the other side of the river are in high spirits. ”

Dolgon immediately said: "Driving away Zu Dashou is just a trick, our real purpose is to mobilize the elite to kill directly to the opposite side, maybe we can catch them off guard." ”

It can be seen that Dolgon seems to be a lot gentler than Azig, but he is actually a ruthless character.

Derger's expression was a little solemn, he understood what Dorgon meant, since he couldn't rest properly, he might as well take advantage of the soldiers' ability to fight, and the anger accumulated in his heart, take a risk.

The night was relatively fair for both sides, and the Ming army had a superiority in strength, which could not necessarily be played at night.

If it is properly arranged, it may be easier to catch the Ming army off guard than to force it during the day.

Moreover, time is also very tight now, the Mongolian left flank has been drawn out so many troops, and the strength of Eastern Tumut is relatively weak, so it will definitely not last long.

And Man Gui is also rushing over, if you wait until Man Gui's support arrives, it will be even more disadvantageous to your side.

Derge couldn't think of a better way, so he asked the opinions of the others again, but there was no objection, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just do it." ”

After a while, the entire Jianyu camp began to be lively, and they rushed out of the camp directly, and the Jianyu spies released caught some Ming army jobs and asked the location of Zu Dashou's headquarters.

In the vast grassland, it is difficult to conceal the march at night, not to mention that Zu Dashou released a lot of attacking Ming troops.

Therefore, Jianyu's movements were quickly grasped by Zu Dashou, he didn't expect Jianyu to jump off the wall directly, so he simply didn't rest, and directly killed the whole army towards him.

However, he was not in a hurry, and first notified the whole army to suspend rest, put away the camp tents and supplies, and waited for the Jianyu army to come.

When the two sides were only seven or eight miles apart, Zu Dashou immediately took action, but instead of rushing towards Jianyu, he turned around and left.

Zu Dashou's reaction was obviously expected by Derge and Dolgon, who immediately ordered Dolgon to lead 500 Jurchen soldiers and 5,000 Mongol cavalry to continue the pursuit of Zu Dashou's troops, while he himself led 2,500 Jurchen soldiers and 1,000 Mongol cavalry to quickly turn around.

Although some Ming army spies discovered Jianyu's division in time, it was still a lot of trouble to transmit information at night, not to mention that Zu Dashou was still chased by Dolgon.

Yang Zhaoji was the first to learn that some of the Jianyu were returning, and hurriedly mobilized troops to intercept them, so as to prevent them from taking the opportunity to cross the river.

But it was still a little too late in time, because Jianyu went straight to a section of the river downstream, and it was about 20 miles away from the main force of Yang Zhaoji's department.

When the army led by Derge arrived, only more than 2,000 Ming troops arrived in time.

Under the order of the Derge, Azig led more than a thousand Jurchen soldiers to kill with anger and ferocity.

And these Ming troops did not flinch in the slightest, because they were Cao Wenzhao's department, led by Cao Bianjiao, who was known as Xiao Cao.

Cao Bianjiao roared and rushed forward in the lead, quite like his uncle Cao Wenzhao.

Azig was even more reckless, and although he had a rough personality and was not very easy to use, no one denied his bravery.

The first violent collision between the two sides unfolded in an instant.
