Yahu Pass, for the Ming Dynasty Chenghua four years (1468) Liaoyang deputy general soldier Han Bin to restrict the entry and exit of Jianzhou Jurchen, to prevent the Korean envoys from peeping into Liaodong virtual reality built, closed the door and set up barriers three ways, so it is also called "three passes".

The east and west sides of the Yahu Pass are continuous mountains, peaks and peaks are stacked, only here is a mountain pass with a dangerous situation, which can lead to the north and south.

It is 40 kilometers northeast to Hetuara and 35 kilometers to the southwest to Qinghe Fort.

It was a complete defensive system consisting of several walls and a number of fortresses.

He Shixian, the chief soldier of Guancheng, brandished his war knife and shouted: "Give me a cannon to the city!" ”

As the Ming gunners dropped the torches in their hands, the Ming army's Franc machine artillery and tiger squat cannon in the city sprayed flames.

Then the roar of the artillery shook the whole fortress, as if the earth trembled because of it; The bright light of the fire reflected the dark night sky of Sekijo, and it was extremely hot.

Sparks flew everywhere, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and cannonballs whistled out, piercing the night sky and rushing straight into the formation of the fortress in front.

Directly knocked the shield in the hand of a soldier away, and the huge cannonball jumped again and brought down several people around him.

Then after the shell fired by the Tiger Squat Cannon exploded, it shot the lead it carried to the periphery, and although several of the Eight Banners soldiers nearby were wearing heavy cloth armor, they were still hit by the shot lead and fell to the ground and let out a painful wail.

Nurhachi was riding a war horse and staring coldly at everything in front of him, and Dai Shan beside him said: "Great Khan, the Ming army has already been prepared, and it is difficult for us to attack at night, and I will personally lead the army to conquer this Raven Pass when it is dawn." ”

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the darkness to sneak attack the Yahu Pass, but he didn't expect that the Ming army had already taken precautions, and also arranged so many artillery pieces in the city.

Nurhachi sighed and said, "Collect the troops, it seems that Li Rubai has long been guarding against us." ”

Then he said to Dai Shan: "Big brother, you have to remember that you don't go to attack the strong city of the Ming people until you have to. ”

"How many warriors do you think we will lose if we want to capture this Raven Pass?"

Dai Shan said: "The Ming army is well guarded and has sufficient firearms, I am afraid that we will have to pay the price of at least a thousand people." ”

Nurhachi nodded with satisfaction, agreeing with Daishan's statement.

So he asked again: "After conquering the Yahu Pass, there are Fushun Pass, Zhenbei Pass, and Guangshun Pass on the wall in the east of Liao; The Ming Dynasty also has Kaiyuan, Tieling, Shenyang, Liaoyang, Guangning, Yizhou in Liaodong, and behind them there are the Great Wall and the world's first Xiongguan Shanhaiguan. ”

"If these are to be attacked, do I have so many soldiers and horses to consume?"

Dai Shan understood his father Khan's worries, although the "Battle of Sarhu" severely damaged the Ming army, but Dajin's own losses were also very large, and only the eight banners lost 10,000.

So he said: "What Father Khan said is that we should still try our best to fight with the Ming army in the field, and as for these passes, we don't have to attack them if we can spare them." ”

"There are gaps in the Liaodong border wall in the north and south directions of this Yahu Pass, although the road is more difficult to walk, and you need to cross the mountains and mountains, but you can still spare it."

"According to reliable sources, Yang Hao, the Liaodong Jinglu of the Ming Kingdom, is in Qinghe Fort, and the main forces of the Ming army are now gathered in Qinghe Fort. The three beylers and the four beylers had already led their troops from the north and south sides of the Yahu Pass into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and attacked Qinghe Fort directly, believing that this time they would definitely be able to wipe out the living forces of the Ming army in one fell swoop. ”

Nurhachi originally didn't want to venture into the Liaodong hinterland of the Ming Kingdom, but the Li family's Liaodong Iron Cavalry was too much of a threat to them. If Ren especially grows, the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, this time, he wanted to take advantage of the defeat of the Ming Kingdom and the emptiness of Liaodong's troops to eliminate it and strangle it in the cradle.

Nurhachi said: "Leave 3,000 men and horses to watch the Ming army in the Yahu Pass, let's also enter the pass, the Ming army has a lot of troops in Qinghe Fort, don't let them take advantage of the loopholes." ”

Outside Qinghe Fort, a large number of cavalry were shuttling on the road to Sanyangyu.

Li Sanshun said: "The movements of Jianyu have basically been investigated, and at present, the main force led by Nurha's relatives is outside the Yahu Pass. The other two roads and eight banners respectively crossed the border wall of eastern Liaodong from the Sanyangyu in the northwest of the Yahu Pass and the Weiziyu in the south, and came to Qinghe Fort. ”

In fact, the Liaodong border wall is still quite useful, although Houjin can find weak points to break through, but the breakthrough points are also limited.

Their cavalry had to cross mountains and mountains, which was very time-consuming, and it was difficult to pass quickly at one time, so the large army had to be divided.

And it is also inconvenient when going out of the customs, and it is easy to be ambushed by the Ming army.

If there were no side walls, the cavalry of Jianyu would have been killed outside Qinghe Fort long ago.

Take the two breakthrough points selected by Jianyu this time, among which Sanyangyu is directly north of Qinghe Fort, only 25 miles away from Qinghe Fort; However, Weiziyu is 70 miles away from Qinghe Fort.

In this way, the Ming army was given a chance to break through.

Under the side wall of Sanyangyu, the inlaid white flag led by Du Du has entered the territory of Daming through the gap, but at this time, the blue flag of Mang Gurtai is still marching in the mountains.

In fact, the Eight Banners' Niu Lu is not evenly distributed, Mang Gurtai's Zhenglan Banner has a total of 21 Niu Lu, but Du Du's inlaid white flag has a total of 15 Niu Lu.

Du Du, as the eldest son of Guangluo Belle Chu Ying, is the eldest grandson of Nurhachi, and his original identity is very noble.

However, due to his father Chu Ying's brutal nature and narrow-mindedness, he offended the "Five Founding Ministers" and was at odds with several other brothers; They were brought down by their alliance and eventually killed by Nurhachi.

As a result, Du Du was not welcomed, although he was still in charge of the white flag, but Niu Lu was pitiful.

What's even more tragic is that Abatai had already buried 5 Niulu before, and now Du Du only has 10 Niulu in his hands, plus 200 people were lost when attacking Juniper and Marin.

Now he has only 2,800 people with white flags.

Soon a sentry came and said, "Master Qiqi, the sentry of the Ming army found us, and we shot two people, but it was too dark, so the remaining few people ran away." ”

Hearing that Du Du began to be alert when he found the Ming army, he hurriedly asked, "Are there traces of the Ming army around?" ”

The sentry said: "These Ming army sentry horses have withdrawn to the nearby Sanyangyu Fort, there are many torches on the fort, it seems that there are already Ming troops stationed!" ”

Last year, Jin swept Fushun Pass and Qinghe Fort, and the army easily destroyed Sanyangyu Fort and a nearby side wall when retreating.

Although Qinghe Fort was repaired by the Ming army, Sanyangyu Fort has been in an abandoned state.

The Ming army actually re-garrisoned in Sanyangyu Fort?

The fort was less than three miles from the gap in the side wall, and the threat was too great.

It will take a little time for the blue flag to completely cross the side wall, so it is better to pull this nail out first.

But after all, this is in the territory of Liaodong in the Ming Kingdom, and it is late at night, so Du Du is still very careful.

He only sent a Niu Lu to Sanyangyu Fort to reconnoiter the situation, and he led a large army in the rear to be ready to support at any time.

Soon a white flag of Niu Lu touched the outside of the fort!

They found that although there were already Ming troops here, the destroyed walls had not been repaired at all, and it seemed that this was just a temporary foothold for the Ming army.

Niu Lu Ezhen Tuta pulled out his sword and said, "Warriors, follow me into the fort and kill these Ming troops." ”
