Li Yongfang's analysis still has some truth, Liu Wei and Yang Hao, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, had some contradictions on the Korean battlefield, so this time Yang Hao directly assigned him to the farthest east road when he divided his troops.

Not only was the road long, but the allocation of troops was the worst, and Liu Wei's main force in the southwest was forced to rush into battle before it arrived. In fact, there were only 15,000 Ming troops, plus 13,000 Korean troops.

Liu Wei himself has amazing arm strength, holding a 120-pound iron broadsword, slashing countless enemies, is the famous "ten thousand enemies" of the Ming Dynasty, and people give the nickname "Liu Dadao".

Moreover, most of his subordinates are elite in a hundred battles, although there are not many troops, but the combat power is strong, and it is possible that the 500 people on the east road did not block this "Liu Dadao".

At this time, Abatai said impatiently: "He Heli, what are you still hesitating about? If we don't attack again, the stockades on the outskirts of Hetuara will be wiped out by the Ming army, although these people are all old and weak, women and children, but they are also the people of my Dajin, we must not let the Ming army wreak havoc outside the city, and remain indifferent. ”

Although Abatai is Nurhachi's seventh son, his mother's status is low, and he is not treated well by Nurhachi, although he has made military achievements very early, and he is still only an inappropriate Taiji.

For a good opportunity to brush up on military exploits like the Battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi took the four great Heshubel and a group of cronies and generals with him, but arranged for him to stay in Hetuala, and his status can be imagined.

So Abatai was eager to elevate his status through military exploits.

Abatai's status also illustrates the actual situation of Li Yongfang, a Fuxi forehead.

However, Abatai was Li Yongfang's father-in-law after all, and he had to help his father-in-law speak at this time, so he said: "I originally thought that even if the Ming army broke through to the vicinity of Hetuala, it would definitely attack the city, so I didn't transfer the population of the nearby mountains. Our Dajin population is insufficient, and if these women and children are killed by the Ming army, it will still have a great impact on us. ”

"According to the intelligence, Liu Ling's main force must still be on the way, and it should only be a surprise attack by a small number of cavalry. I am also willing to go out with Abatai Taiji to exterminate these Ming troops. ”

At this time, He Heli looked very embarrassed, now the main force of Houjin should have basically defeated Marin, it is estimated that reinforcements will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest, and at this time, as long as he holds the city tightly, he can complete the task.

Now the population of the Jurchen clan in Jianzhou is less than 400,000, and if tens of thousands of old and weak people are killed by the Ming army at once, it can be regarded as a break in the bones. Those minions who farm the land can be caught again, but the Jurchens are just these populations, and it is difficult to replenish them in a short time.

After weighing, He Heli still agreed to Abatai's request and allowed him to lead his 5 Niulu 1,500 people to attack, and Li Yongfang also led 2,000 Han troops to help.

However, in this way, Hetuara only has 2,500 Eight Banner soldiers and 2,000 Han troops left.

Abatai couldn't hold back for a long time, and immediately led his white flag to set off with Li Yongfang.

At this time, the stockade 5 miles south of Hetuala was basically burned down by the Ming army, and when he saw a burning stockade, Abatai couldn't help but be furious, and scolded: "This group of Ming dogs is really hateful, this is to drive us to the end, and there is almost no grass in the place where we pass!" ”

Li Yongfang was silent on the side, this was the third village they had arrived, and every one of them was like this.

These Ming troops are so ruthless, they actually destroyed the stockade so completely in such a short period of time, it really makes them, the barbarians who burn, kill and loot all year round, feel ashamed!

Soon, 4 arrows pierced the sky, leaving 4 traces of 3 long and 1 short in the dark night sky.

The Ming armies quickly assembled after receiving the signal.

Li Sanshun said: "Jianyu has already been dispatched, and it seems that there are three or four thousand people. ”

At this time, Li Xianzhong's expression was a little heavy, according to the research on the forum in the previous life, Nurhachi's troops left in Hetuara should only be 4,000 people, and they will definitely not be elite.

According to his estimates, at most, half of the Jianyu will be dispatched, about 2,000 people.

With the Li family's two thousand iron horsemen to ambush the tail of the same number of Eight Banner cranes, there is still a good chance of victory.

But who knew that they actually dispatched three or four thousand, almost pouring out of the nest, could it be that this captivity didn't even want Hetuala?

Or was he pitted by those keyboard warriors, and Hetuala's troops were far more than four thousand?

With the strength of the Li family's Liaodong Iron Cavalry, it is not impossible to win the eight banners that are not elite by fighting three or four thousand, but if the Li family's family is exhausted in the first battle, how will this follow-up battle be fought?

At this time, a middle-aged general who was nearly 50 years old next to him spoke up, and he said: "The young general doesn't need to worry, with the 500 iron armor heavy cavalry of the last general, this group of prisoners can't bargain." ”

The person who spoke was called Zha Huizu, and his father, Cha Dashouguan, was the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, and he was originally a member of the Li family. Because of his repeated military exploits, he was highly regarded by Li Chengliang and his sons, and he was the long-term commander of the elite thousands of Liaodong iron cavalry of the Li family.

The so-called son inherits his father's business, although Zha Huizu is only a guerrilla in Tieling, but as the general of the Li family, he has been responsible for training the cavalry of the Li family for a long time.

This is also the reason why Li Rubai dared to hand over the two thousand Liaodong iron cavalry to Li Xianzhong, this Cha Huizu is only responsible for Li Rubai, and he will not worry about losing this army.

In fact, the ironclad cavalry in the East is not the kind of heavy armored knights in Europe, and the kind of heavy plate armor rarely appears. Mainly divided into two parts, helmet and armor, the Li family's Liaodong iron cavalry is the elite of the elite, naturally all of them are bright helmets and armor (usually armor or fish scale armor) and arms, hands, face armor and other supporting equipment.

But this whole set of equipment weighed fifty pounds, and it was a great test for both knights and horses, and it was not something that could be done with silver alone.

Therefore, the Li family can only maintain the scale of Liaodong Iron Cavalry at 2,000 at present, which is only a quarter of the peak period.

The "iron-clad heavy horseman" in Zha Huizu's mouth is not only a knight, but even the horses are also armored, which is a real iron hoist. Even the Liaodong Li family, which was not short of silver, could not make up so many good horses, so they could only maintain this number at five hundred.

In addition to the Ming armor, the Ming army also popular a kind of cloth armor, that is, commonly known as "green armor" and "purple cloth armor", is a kind of heavy cloth armor inlaid with iron sheets, also known as "dark armor", the weight is about half of the Ming armor, there are also twenty-five catties.

Usually these cavalry with bright armor and dark armor are also called "ironclad cavalry", but there is still a big gap with the iron cavalry with bright armor and bright armor.

At this time, among the 60,000 people with armor in the army, it is estimated that less than 5,000 are really equipped with bright armor, and most of them can only be equipped with bright armor and dark armor, and even some are leather armor.

Of course, after Salhu, Houjin got a large amount of equipment from the Ming army, and the armor rate in the army skyrocketed, and the combat power was directly raised a lot.

It can be said that now is the last chance to weaken the Jianyu, and if they really wait until they digest the strategic materials captured by Salhu, the gap between the two sides will be even greater.

Zha Huizu's ironclad heavy cavalry made Li Xianzhong regain his confidence again, even if he was outnumbered, he must beat these prisoners to pain, and let them taste the power of the Li family's "Liaodong Iron Cavalry".

Just as the Ming army was retreating with all its strength to prepare for a decisive battle with Jianyu, the latest news came from Yebushu: by observing the torches of the Qing army in the distance, it was found that after leaving the city, the Tartars gradually divided into two waves, and the distance between the two waves of cavalry seemed to be getting wider and wider.

This made Li Xianzhong's eyes light up, and he suddenly had a brand new idea.
