Chapter 162: Yuan Yingtai has to fight in the field

Zhang Quan analyzed the intelligence, combined with the recent approach of the Jiannu Blue Banner to Liaoyang and the news that the Horqin Mongol army was moving south, and judged that Nurhachi was going to march on Shenyang.

He advised Yuan Yingtai to control the whole city, and those who spread rumors should be killed. Yuan Jingliu should personally lead the elite to directly take down the Mongol leaders, break their existing structure, and re-divide and integrate these Mongol soldiers.

Yuan Yingtai thought that these practices were contrary to benevolence and righteousness, and he wanted to unite the Mongols, and at this time, he could not provoke contradictions between the Mongols and the Han Chinese, and that would run counter to the purpose of the imperial court and completely reject it.

Suddenly, it was reported that Jiannu with a blue flag Amin had nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses killed 10 miles east of Liaoyang City.

Yuan Yingtai thought that the Jiannu inlaid blue flag had been disabled by the southern army, and it was impossible to recover in such a short time, but he hurriedly climbed the city wall to watch, and sure enough, there was a large army approaching ten miles east of the city.

Yuan Yingtai decided to send Zhu Wanliang and Zu Dashou out of the city to fight.

Zhang Quan thought that the city was not at peace, and if the main force went out of the city again, I was afraid that the situation would be unstable.

Yuan Yingtai said: "I treat the soldiers, the people and the Mongols with benevolence and righteousness, how can I let the soldiers and horses not go to war, but keep an eye on them. ”

"Now that the blue flag in the east is only a few thousand Jiannu partial divisions, Amin has lost his heart. This is a rabble that has gathered temporarily, and when they encounter the Ming army, they will inevitably rush to flee for their lives.

"Since Nurhachi will come to attack, when the enemy has all arrived, there is no chance to turn the field battle, now we should take advantage of the blue flag to rush alone and defeat this one first!"

"General Zhu and Zu Shen will lead their troops out of the city to meet the enemy, and this scripture will prepare a celebration banquet for the two of you!"

Zu Dashou's subordinates recruited many Mongolian soldiers, and he couldn't do this without Yuan Yingtai, so of course he obeyed his words at this time.

Zhu Wanliang was guilty of meritorious service, and the civil official spoke, and he had to go up.

The two gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Yuan Yingtai sent his most trusted Zhu Wanliang to fight for meritorious service, and the ancestor of the Liao army, Dashou, was also his cronies to assist Zhu Wanliang in the war. He felt that Amin's blue flag had been defeated twice by the Southern Army, and half of the recruits were vulnerable.

just gave Zhu Wanliang a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes, and also let Zhang Quan know that he was good at using soldiers. It also lets the world know that not only the southern army can fight, but the Liao army can fight even more.

Zu Dashou is also his own cronies, and he is just right to deal with the weak chickens with blue flags and be promoted.

Yuan Yingtai also wanted to support the Liaodong Army and prove that the Liaodong Army he valued was the best with a big victory.

As for Liang Zhongshan, who came from three sides, he had been following the southern army closely and against him, so he could only stand aside. After defeating Amin's blue banner this time, Zhao led the army's troops to Zhu Wanliang and Zu Dashou to replenish their troops.

On Jiannu's side, Amin is also a very capable general.

It only took him a few months to train the nearly 3,000 savage Jurchens that Nurhachi had given him.

As for the hundreds of Jurchen atavistic soldiers who were frightened by the Southern Army, after the bloody training of Mang Gurtai, they had become devils who only knew how to kill, and they were even more ferocious than the savage Jurchens.

Zhu Wanliang was not afraid of Amin on the surface, leading his few remaining family members to line up on the flank in front, and once the blue flag was defeated, he would charge into battle, of course, he would take the lead.

At a place three miles away from the blue flag camp, the two armies lined up, and saw that the opposite side was in a scattered formation with blue flags, with untidy clothes and armor, and various weapons.

Yuan Jingluo really didn't say it wrong, it was only a few days since the defeat of the blue flag, how could there be so many soldiers and weapons and armor, they must have been temporarily summoned, and they were caught up on the battlefield with a little training.

Zhu Wanliang was really not mistaken, the ones lined up in front of the formation were indeed hundreds of coats, and the others were disguised, how could there be such a dish with a blue flag? The combat power is no worse now than it was a few months ago.

Nurhachi allocated nearly 3,000 savage Jurchens to Amin, who were carefully trained by Fan Wencheng, and were a dead soldier who wanted to kill Han people on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions to carry the flag.

At the beginning of the battle, the first bow and arrow shooting, and then the charge, the cloaks with messy weapons in their hands naturally could not withstand the bombardment of the Ming army's three-eyed guns, this time Zhu Wanliang learned a lesson, steadily advanced instead of blindly leading the elite to rush into battle.

When more than 100 people were killed and wounded, they already understood that they had become cannon fodder, and they shouted to turn around and run, and the Jiannu soldiers behind had already received orders and took the lead in fleeing eastward.

Under the continuous pursuit of the Ming army, the blue flag array had already sunk, and the middle part was constantly shrinking, and Zhu Wanliang led most of the Ming army into the wild goose array transformed into the blue flag.

Zhu Wanliang hadn't realized it yet, and was still directing the Ming army to charge, wanting to chisel through the blue flag array in one fell swoop. The two wings of the blue flag array quickly moved closer to the west and the middle, and gradually turned into a pocket array.

The blue flag first shot the Ming army with bows and arrows, constantly compressing the space of the Ming army in the middle.

When the Jiannu archers retreated when their arms were weak, half of the 3,000 screaming savage Jurchens rushed forward to shoot at the door at ten paces, and half stepped on the corpses of the Ming army, rushing forward to fight.

The nightmare of the Ming army began.

Even if the Ming army wearing heavy armor was shot in the face by an arrow, it was certain to die.

Most of the lightly armored or unarmored guards were poor peasants and tenant farmers who farmed the land, and where were the opponents of the savages who drank blood and fought like wild beasts in the mountains and forests, they were reprimanded and torn apart the formation, and directly divided the team into two sections.

At this time, the 1,000 blue flag cavalry on the outside of the two wings, regardless of the fighting on the battlefield to the west, they were to intercept the 4,000 Ming troops of Zu Dashou who came to support later.

Zu Dashou saw it, hurriedly lined up to meet the enemy, many of his soldiers and horses had not really fought with Jiannu, and he tried his best to avoid the battle before, and he ran when he encountered the enemy, and never dragged mud and water.

Before going out of the city this time, Yuan Yingtai drew a big cake for him, and when he came back from victory, he gave him 1500 soldiers and horses led by Zhao before he went into battle in a high-profile manner.

When the cavalry with blue flags came out like a mountain, he hurriedly ordered his troops and horses to line up to meet the enemy, but while he was still in formation, he heard the three-eyed sound of his soldiers and horses.

"Boom Boom~~"

At this time, the enemy is still a hundred paces away, the three-eyed gun can't kill the enemy at all, some recruits are under too much pressure, and when they hear the preparation, they hurriedly release the gun, and drive the others regardless of the cavalry with the blue flag is still at a distance of 100 paces away, so they start shooting, as long as the shooting starts, others will follow and shoot, this is a conditioned reflex.

"Boom Boom~~"

"Boom Boom~~"

There was a deafening roar, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke obscured the vision, and before the smoke cleared, many arrows flew over.

Some of the cavalry were shot and fell from their horses, and many of them scrambled to turn around and flee.

Zu Dashou has half of the cavalry, these cavalry soldiers have a lot of oil, more recruits, and many Mongols, all of whom are very poorly disciplined soldiers and horses.

Zu Dashou also hurried away.

The Ming army ran in front, and Jiannu's cavalry pursued and killed in the back, chasing 3 miles away, and the Jiannu cavalry returned to besiege Zhu Wanliang's Ming army.

After all, annihilation is more important than defeat, and they are going to encircle and annihilate Zhu Wanliang's troops.
