said that it was a decisive battle in Liaoyang, but in fact, the Jin soldiers had to retreat north first and choose a better place to fight the decisive battle.

Because if the Jin soldiers stayed outside Liaoyang City, they were very likely to be attacked from three sides - Zhu Ming's main force was in the southwest, the Baozhou army was due south, and Shenyang still had a partial division in the northeast.

Moreover, there are rebels in Liaoyang City, who may rush out to help at any time!

To tell the truth, even if the Jin soldiers can capture Liaoyang and successfully recapture the grain and grass in the city, they will only stay in the city and wait for death.

Because of the surprise attack of the Ming army to take Shenzhou, Liaoyang has become an isolated city.

"The golden soldiers have retreated!"

"The golden soldiers have retreated!"

In the city of Liaoyang, the whole city cheered.

Less than half a day after the Jin soldiers withdrew, the vanguard of the Ming army arrived at the city of Liaoyang.

In the evening of the same day, Zhu Ming came with the main force.

The three fine workers took the generals and gentry of various ethnic groups out of the city to bow down to welcome the Ming Emperor.

The king armor was loaded and transported, and it was not worn on the body.

Zhang Xuanzheng lay on the ground and looked up boldly. I saw a majestic and sturdy young man, riding a horse and walking slowly, wearing a gorgeous but somewhat old brocade robe.

Zhu Ming asked loudly: "Who is Zhang Xuanzheng?" ”

"Sinners meet Your Majesty!" Zhang Xuanzheng knelt forward a few steps.

Zhu Ming nodded and smiled: "The No. 1 family in Bohai is really extraordinary. I heard that your clan brothers Zhang Xuansu and Zhang Hao are first-class officials in the Jin Kingdom. Among the non-Jurchen officials, the two of them were the largest. ”

Zhang Xuanzheng was panicked: "The Zhang family was forced to reduce the gold, and has been looking forward to the Han Emperor recovering Liaodong. ”

Zhu Ming said: "Liaoyang is temporarily handed over to you to govern, and I have sent food to the soldiers and people who surrendered to return to their hometowns." You have to be a good student, and once something goes wrong, you are the only one who asks! ”

"The minister bows to thank Your Majesty for forgiveness, and he must govern the people for the Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Xuanzheng was overjoyed.

Zhu Ming is actually fishing for law enforcement, first arranging a heavy task for this guy, and once Zhang Xuanzheng is found to be corrupt, he will use it to kill chickens and monkeys.

At the same time, Liaoyang Prefecture really needs to be governed by locals in order to quickly calm down from the war.

Zhang Xuanzheng is just a tool man.

Zhu Ming said again: "Where are Gao Jingshan and Wang Zheng? ”

"Sin will meet Your Majesty!" The two hurriedly stepped forward.

Zhu Ming said: "You choose those who can ride horses in the city, and assemble outside the city to listen to orders." ”

"Yes!"

Yang Zaixing's department, which had rested for a few days, came with those who could still fight at this time.

Whether it is the surrendered troops of the Suguan City or the troops of all ethnic groups in Liaoyang City, as long as they can fight on horseback, they are now under the command of Yang Zaixing.

About 5,000 cavalry gathered, all nationalities, even the Jurchens. After a simple formation, Yang Zaixing took these people and chased after the Jin soldiers who retreated north at full speed.

It was not to catch up and fight hard, but to embellish it all the way, not to let the golden soldiers calmly evacuate.

Even if the Jin soldiers can escape, they have to leave the grain and grass behind!

……

The main force of the Jin soldiers walked slowly with grain and grass, and was caught up by Yang Zaixing for most of the day.

The Jurchen cavalry came back to intercept them, and when there were few people, they would fight, and if there were many people, they would flee. It's like a piece of kraft candy, stuck to the back of the golden soldiers.

The soldiers of the Golden Vulture could not hold it first, and they retreated from the mouth of the Yalu River all the way north on the mountain road. He didn't have much rest halfway, and continued to retreat north from Liaoyang, and now he is extremely tired.

"Let's camp here, rest for two days and fight." Golden Vulture suggested.

They are all about to withdraw to Liaozhong, but in the Liaojin and Jin dynasties, Liaozhong did not build a city, just a small town.

Wanyan Zongfu personally went to explore the nearby terrain, choose a suitable camping site, and then rest and recuperate with the whole army.

But with the Ming cavalry nearby, it was really hard to sleep.

can only let the tired soldiers of the Golden Vulture sleep first, and the soldiers of Wanyan Zongfu will sleep on Godandan.

After two days in a row, Zhu Ming finally led the main force to come.

Yang Zaixing came back and reported: "Jin Bing probably didn't want to escape, so he camped with his back to the Hunhe River and put on a posture of fighting against the water. ”

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "Since you are going to fight against the water, the morale must be high, and the Jurchen soldiers are all trying to fight hard." Then we are not in a hurry, and we will set up camp with them first. ”

"Your Majesty is wise," Yang Zaixing said, "and they are short of food and grass, and the further they drag, the more anxious they become." At the beginning, they would fight to the death to win, and when the army ran out of food, the army would be disheartened. ”

Zhu Ming scattered all the cavalry, and the infantry relied on chariots to build barracks.

Yes, Zhu Ming led the troops to chase and kill others, and even built a barracks!

When Wanyan Zongfu saw that the Ming army was relying on chariots, digging trenches and building barriers there, the whole person became bad.

"Too much deception!" Wanyan Sosuke was furious.

Jin Wushu said: "Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy army is coming from afar and has not yet gained a stable foothold, our army has rested for two more days, so let's attack immediately." ”

Wanyan Zongfu said: "The periphery of the Ming army is full of chariots, how can you rush in?" ”

Jin Wushu asked rhetorically: "The Ming army has been stubbornly guarding the chariot formation like this, and when the camp is built, it will be even more impossible to fight." If they keep delaying time, they can drag out the grain and grass of our army! ”

Wanyan Zongfu thought for a while and said: "Let the Ming army build a barracks, and when their people are exhausted, we will retreat immediately after repairing the barracks." ”

"Behind is the Hunhe River, and the distance between the two armies is not far, we will be hit by Bandu." Jin Wushu reminded.

Wanyan Zongfu said: "Withdraw along the Hunhe River, and the Ming army will definitely chase after you." When they are on the march, the chariots have not formed a chariot formation, and we will raid and kill them! ”

The two sides guarded the camp and confronted each other for a day.

The next day, Hua Rong led the infantry that attacked Shenyang and rode to join the main force. As for Shenzhou City, it sent some Bohai troops to take over the defense.

Seeing that the Ming army actually increased its troops, Wanyan Zongfu didn't dare to wait any longer, and hurriedly retreated east along the Hunhe River.

At this moment, Zhi Yanzhen, Zhang Xian, Yelu Yujian and others were leading 30,000 troops to rush to converge. If the Jin soldiers don't withdraw, they can directly announce their surrender.

The Jin soldiers retreated more than ten miles east, and Wanyan Zongfu suddenly ordered: "The whole army is armored and killed!" ”

"Woo woo woo ~ ~~~"

The Ming cavalry, who were scattered everywhere and entangled with the Jurchen cavalry, hurriedly sounded the horn to warn when the Jin soldiers returned from a large-scale killing.

The main forces of the Ming army, which were on the way, waved flags one after another.

The Ming army followed the usual practice method, drove mules to pull chariots, and formed many small hollow formations on the spot.

The man led the mule to the hollow array to take refuge, and then carried the baggage on the chariot.

Melee soldiers take armor from their chariots and help each other put them on, and there are also special soldiers to hang the chariot chains. If there is still free time, throw thistles around the perimeter of the chariot.

The artillery arranges the artillery and carries the shells, and the gunners quickly load the ammunition.

As for the Ming cavalry in front, they were responsible for maneuvering with the enemy and arranging vehicle formations for the infantry to delay time.

"Knock knock knock!"

When the war drums sounded, tens of thousands of Ming troops had already set up twelve hollow car formations.

Each array is different in size.

It is not strictly in accordance with the plum blossom array, anyway, how convenient and fast how to do it.

The Ming cavalry heard the sound of drums and retreated alternately, and rushed back to safety along the open space in the middle of the chariot formation.

The Jurchen cavalry was still a team of fifty people, and there were more than a hundred teams that rushed over first. They saw that the car formation had no way to start, so they could only come around from afar, trying to find a suitable breakthrough.

"Boom, boom!"

The heavy and huge amount of iron cast cannons was produced, and due to the transportation of some to Jinzhou and Posu Road, there were less than two hundred left at this time.

At this time, about a hundred artillery pieces, first stuffed with many shotguns and then one iron bullet, opened fire one after another at the Jurchen cavalry in different directions - the rest of the guns did not move, because they might accidentally injure friendly troops.

This kind of cast iron cannon can hit a distance of more than a mile with a large iron bullet, and the shotgun also has a range of one or two hundred meters.

Those Jurchen cavalrymen thought that they were far away, but after the cannon sounded, they were suddenly attacked, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly fled farther away.

Jin Wushu rushed to Wanyan Zongfu: "You can't rush over like this, the Ming army's car formation is too fast!" ”

Wanyan Sosuke didn't know what to do.

He really can't do it!

Not to mention the artillery car array, even if it is a divine arm bow formation, as long as the Song army dares to fight hard, the Jin soldiers are helpless.

Historically, Wu Jue gathered the remnants of the soldiers in the monk plain, and used a strong bow and crossbow to shoot the golden soldiers on their backs. At that time, the Jin soldiers organized many attacks, but they were all shot and suffered heavy losses and retreated.

Wanyan Zongfu was sick and rushed to the doctor, and said: "Send a warrior to call the battle, and ask the Ming army if they dare to fight a decisive battle!" ”

A Jurchen brave general rode forward, but the cannon was not fired, and he continued to move forward with the courage of numbness.

Running thirty or forty steps away, the Jurchen brave general Le Ma stopped: "Emperor Zhu of the Ming Kingdom is here?" If you have the guts, you ......"

"Bang bang bang!"

Dozens of flintlock pistols fired one after another, and the Jurchen Yong didn't finish his words, and even the people and horses were beaten into a sieve.

The battlefield was dead again, and only the cries of horses and mules remained.

At this moment, suddenly there was a force of Jurchen cavalry, without receiving any orders, and left the battlefield without authorization along the Hunhe River.

This cavalry fled without warning, and Wanyan Zongfu was stunned.

That's the Wulin Answer Department, one of the elites under Wanyan Zongfu!

Fusan, Sushilie, Pucha, and Wulinda are the four major Jurchen tribes in the Jin Kingdom except for the Wanyan Division.

The Wulinda tribe lives in the tributaries of the Mudanjiang River and is a close relative of the Suguan department in eastern Liaodong. It also took a lot of energy to conquer Ulinda at the beginning, and the two nobles have been marrying all these years.

Marriage is marriage.

The husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came.

Seeing that Jin Guo's qi was exhausted, the general of this army, Wu Lindatai, simply led his troops to flee the battlefield, planning to return to his hometown and re-operate the tributaries of the Mudanjiang River.

It's far away, remote and poor, and the Ming Emperor won't send troops to kill it, right?

Even if you kill, if you can surrender, you will surrender.

If the Ming Emperor did not accept the surrender, then it would be better to go into the mountains to hunt, than to be buried here for the Jin Kingdom.

Ulindatai wanted to lead his troops to leave, and quickly alerted the generals of the Servant Division.

They live on the south bank of the Yalu River, in the mountains of Hamgyong Province in North Korea. Baozhou and Pyongyang are all Ming troops, and sooner or later they will kill their hometowns, so they simply surrender now and count the ball.

These Busan cavalry did not flee, but were led by the generals around the flank of the Ming army's large array.

He also waved the flag and scattered the whole body, threw away his weapons, abandoned his war horses, and ran towards the Ming army on foot empty-handed.

Zhu Ming saw clearly with a telescope, and laughed: "Raise the flag order, don't fire cannons, and welcome these surrendered troops into the battle." ”

Knowing that the servants had successfully surrendered, the rest of the troops either rushed over and surrendered, or they fled with the example of the Ullinda Division.

Under the command of Wanyan Zongfu and Jin Wushu, nearly 30,000 Jurchen soldiers dispersed nearly half one after another. Those who haven't run yet are either diehard loyalists of the Jin Kingdom, or they haven't received news from too far away.

"All the troops are attacking!" Zhu Ming immediately grabbed the fighter.

Yang Zaixing led the cavalry of various tribes, and Hua Rong led the infantry to ride horses, each of them killed from the chariot array.

In addition to the servant troops who surrendered first, the other Jurchen soldiers who tried to surrender were also attacked by the Ming army. Anyway, whoever stands in the way will kill whoever is in the way, and go straight to where Yan Zongfu's handsome flag is.

The Jurchen soldiers, who had planned to surrender, were also frightened and fled in all directions.

"Let's go!"

Jin Wushu shouted, couldn't care about his brother anymore, and led his headquarters to turn around and flee.
