In the original trajectory, the spies of Jianzhou would hold the seal seized from Juniper, and falsely claim that the Western Route Army had reached the city of Hetuala; Lure the Eastern Route Army north, and then kill Liu Wei near Abu Darigan, quickly defeating the Eastern Route Army.

However, Li Xianzhong had already burned and looted under the city of Hetuara under the banner of the Eastern Route Army, and this trick naturally did not work.

Now the Eastern Route Army is not ushering in the spies of Jianzhou, but Amin's 5,000 blue flags.

The Eastern Route Army was led by the chief soldier Liu Wei of the Ming army of 15,000 people, and the deputy envoy Kang Yingqian of the Haigai garrison supervised the army, and the same knowledge Huang Zong and Zhou Zanli.

Daming also asked the Korean army of 13,000 people to help in the war, led by Marshal Jiang Hongli and Deputy Marshal Jin Jingrui, under the control of Liu Ling, and Zhenjiang guerrilla Qiao Yiqi supervised the army.

The Eastern Route Army set out from Kuandian and attacked Hetuara through the Dong'e Road. Due to the long distance of this road, the narrow mountains and thorns, and the fact that the Houjin carried out strong walls and cleared the Dong'e Road, felled trees and set up obstacles, the marching speed of the East Route Army was slow.

Yesterday, the 500 people left by the Houjin to contain the Eastern Route Army fought a big battle with the Eastern Route Army on the Shenhe line, although in the end the Ming army repelled the Houjin army after killing 100 people, but most of them still escaped (they were annihilated by the Liaodong Iron Cavalry this morning).

However, due to the death of Liu Jilong, a favorite general, and waiting for grain and grass, the Eastern Route Army was stranded near the deep river for another day.

At this time, the veteran Liu Wei couldn't have imagined that his people were sitting in the camp, the pot came from the sky, and Li Xianzhong's comical operation directly led the blue flag all the way south to kill the East Route Army.

Although the sky was once again snowing at this time, these could not stop Amin's revenge heart, and after continuing to rush south for more than an hour, the blue flag appeared in the field of vision of the Ming army.

Zhenjiang guerrilla Qiao Yiqi was leading the army to inspect the surroundings, and suddenly a Ming army pointed ahead and said: "General Qiao, look, there is a large group of cavalry in the distance." ”

Although the wind and snow greatly affected the line of sight, the march of the cavalry was quite noticeable.

He knew that this should only be the vanguard of Jianqing, but there were quite a few of them, at least a thousand people.

Qiao Yiqi and others hurried back to the camp and reported the situation to coach Liu Wei.

The Eastern Route Army had 28,000 men, and although it looked like there were quite a few of them, the combat effectiveness of the 13,000 Korean troops was really not flattering.

The remaining 15,000 Ming troops were also cobbled together from various places, and their combat strength was uneven.

If the elites who have followed him for many years are by his side, Liu Wei is not afraid of the Tartars at all, even if Nurhachi personally leads the main force to go, he is not afraid.

It's a pity that his main force has not yet arrived in Liaodong, and at this time there are only 3,000 troops around him who he brought from the south, and most of the other troops are old and weak, and their combat strength is not strong.

Coach Yang Hao has an old grudge with Liu Wei, not only with the weakest soldiers, the most difficult way to walk, but even the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, and the Eastern Route Army has stopped several times because of the problem of grain and grass.

At this moment, there are only 10,000 people around Liu Wei, and the 5,000 Zhejiang soldiers led by the superintendent Kang Yingqian are in charge of the palace, while the 13,000 Korean troops have been following the Ming army.

However, fortunately, the Ming army had already set up a large camp in the mountaineering area and occupied a favorable location.

Liu Wei said to Qiao Yiqi: "Qiao Guerrilla, you quickly go to the Korean army to pass the order, so that Jiang Hongli must rush to the mountain to participate in the battle within 2 hours, if he dares to delay and disobey the general order of the commander, you will directly behead him, and all the consequences will be borne by the commander." ”

Killing the commander of the vassal country without permission is not a light crime, Qiao Yiqi hesitated for a moment and said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Liu Wei is worthy of being a veteran who has fought for many years, and he is decisive in killing; He is very aware of the urine nature of the North Korean army, and if he does not move seriously, he is afraid that he will definitely delay under the pretext of delay.

Previously, Yang Hao ordered the Ming Army of the Fourth Route to meet at Erdaokou yesterday and jointly attack Hetuala; Although the Eastern Route Army failed to arrive on time, it was still seventy or eighty miles away from Hetuala, and Jianlu took the initiative to attack, but he was afraid that the situation of the other armies would not be good.

At this time, Liu Zhaosun, the righteous son, said: "Father, the Southern Route Army should be the closest to us, should we send someone to rescue the Southern Route Army?" ”

Liaozhen has always squeezed out the guest army, and Li Rubai and Yang Hao are the same raccoon dogs. Although the Southern Route Army was the only one who could support him at this time, Liu Wei would not bow his head and ask them for help.

He said: "At this time, I'm afraid that Li Rubai's situation may not be better than ours, so let's send the order down and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

After discovering the main force of the Ming army, the blue flag quickly surrounded the mountaineering area.

At this moment, it was just over an hour before dark, but the main force of Houjin would not arrive here until at least tomorrow, and Amin decided to entangle the Ming army first, so that they would not escape while it was dark.

So the soldiers with blue flags rushed towards the hill with their shields and swords held high.

Soon the Ming army's arrow rain came as scheduled, but everyone with blue flags was wearing armor, and the worst was heavy cloth armor, plus there was a shield to cover it, and the Ming army's bows and arrows did not cause them much damage.

Seeing that the bows and arrows did not work, the Ming army hurriedly retreated the prepared graves and rolling logs down the hillside.

The jumping stumps, as well as the boulders, did cause some casualties to the enemy. Some of the blue flags that couldn't dodge were hit hard and rolled straight down.

However, the number of preparations of the Ming army was limited, and after a short adjustment, the soldiers with blue flags rushed forward again. At this time, they were only 50 paces away from the Ming position, and the Houjin army began to counterattack with bows and arrows.

Jianlu's archery skills were much stronger than those of the Ming army, and many Ming troops were directly shot by them.

At this time, Liu Zhaosun shouted: "Fire Hammer Ready!" ”

The Liaodong Ming army usually uses the "three-eyed gun", the advantage is that a reload can be ignited and fired 3 times by turning the gun, and the disadvantage is that the accuracy is poor, and the effective killing distance is very close, only 30 steps at most.

The Ming army in the south preferred to use bird guns, which had the advantage of stable aiming and a relatively long effective range, which could reach fifty or sixty paces, but the disadvantage was that the amount of ammunition was small, and it was difficult to penetrate the heavy armor of the Houjin army.

Moreover, almost all of the guns of the Ming army in this era were extremely slow to reload and were prone to explosion. Unless it is to defend the city, it is difficult to achieve a second round of reloading fire with such a short effective range.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

With a puff of white smoke, the Ming army's bird guns began to shoot.

It has to be said that the blue flag shield and heavy cloth armor still resisted most of the firepower for them. Not many people were actually killed by the firecrackers, and most of them were only injured.

With only 200 casualties, the blue flag was slaughtered in the camp of the Ming army.

What's worse is that the wind and snow have stopped at this time, and the white smoke left by the Ming army's gunfire has not dispersed for a long time, and the blue flag is taking advantage of the opportunity of the Ming army's obstruction of sight to rush up in one fell swoop.

The two sides soon entered the most brutal hand-to-hand combat, and the Houjin army quickly gained the upper hand by relying on its superiority in equipment and combat power.

At this time, the veteran Liu Wei brandished his 120-pound iron broadsword, and joined the fight with more than 1,000 family members behind him.

These people are the elite who followed him to pacify Banju and fight North Korea for many years, and they are also the core force of the entire Eastern Route Army.

Although his beard is gray, Liu Ling's steps are extremely firm. When he wielded that iron broadsword, he exuded an unparalleled majesty and power.

The iron broadsword in his hand was unstoppable, sweeping like a whirlwind, knocking away the Tartars that stood in his way one by one.

The blue flag of the Khala-ezhen Utair was also a famous warrior in Jianzhou, famous for his strength.

Although he had also heard of the name "Liu Dadao", how could he take a sixty-year-old man in his eyes.

After killing two Ming soldiers, he immediately brandished his hammer and smashed it at Liu Ling, thinking that the old guy would definitely not be able to catch his heavy blow, but unexpectedly, he was shocked back several steps by the iron broadsword, and the hammer in his hand almost escaped.

Soon Uthair paid the price for his underestimating enemy, only to see a cold light flash, and his heavy body fell to the ground.

But Liu Wei did not stop, and with the continuous swing of the big knife in his hand, more than a dozen Eight Banner soldiers were killed by him on the spot, which boosted the morale of the Ming army.

At this moment, he is worthy of the title of "Ming God of War"!
