I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Normally, Dorgon almost never talked nonsense. He was deep and reserved at a young age, and he was reticent.

In contrast, Duo Duo, who was standing beside him, seemed very active, and his arrogance and underestimation of the enemy could never be corrected. If it weren't for Duo Ergun's help, he would have been swallowed alive by the people of the Two Yellow Banners .

Dorgon stood at the top of the city, looking at the densely packed Ming army in front of him, they suddenly appeared under the city of Sarhu, as if they were soldiers descended from heaven.

All of a sudden, a white-flag sentry ran over, panting and said: "Fourteen Baylor, it's better to retreat back to the old village. I see that the Ming army is mighty, and you can see the banners covering the sky a few miles away."

"From this point of view, this is the entire main force of Xiong Tingbi. How many people are there?" Dorgon frowned and asked quite calmly.

"Roughly speaking, I'm afraid it's no less than [-]." Said the sentinel.

"What!" Duoduo jumped up and exclaimed, "Ninety thousand?"

The sentry cavalry also looked at him, and said very confidently: "Yes, Dorobeile, and the number of the Ming army is much larger than this one!"

Duo Duo, who always shouted and shouted to kill, lost his mind at this moment, turned to look at Duo ErGun, and said, "Brother Fourteen, I don't think this Sarhu can be defended. For the sake of the three thousand bannermen in the city, Quickly think of a way!"

Dorgon looked at him indifferently, and said:

"You want me to be a deserter?"

"No! I am the son of Destiny Khan, and I will never be a deserter!" Dorgon's eyes were extremely firm, and he said: "Order all the bannermen to go to battle, and give them armor, knives and guns."

"Sarhu is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I still have [-] elite bannermen. Even if I can't defend it, what's the problem if I wait until the Khan returns?"

"Brother Fourteen!" Duoduo choked up and begged, "Did you see those cannons in front of the Ming army's formation? Our bows and arrows can be shot here before they are fired."

"Even if we can stand our ground, can the city do it? If the Khan's reinforcements are delayed, why don't we wait for death?"

Dorgon smiled coldly, looked into the distance, his eyes moved slightly, "Even if I want to withdraw, it's too late, and Xiong Tingbi has already built the pontoon bridge, look at that side."

Originally, Saerhu was built along the Suzi River and the Hun River. It was the place where the Ming army must pass through to capture Hetuala. It is surrounded by water on both sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Jin army only needs to defend the north side, which greatly saves the resources for defending the city.

However, at this moment, the east and south sides of Saarhu were also filled with dust, and after a while, another sentry cavalry came and galloped up the city.

"Report to Fourteen Baylor, the Mangui troops have come from Kuandian Fort, and have already cut off our army's retreat to Laozhai!"

"It's not good, Fourteen Baylor, Cao Wenzhao's tribe has crossed the Hun River from the east, and is heading south to join the Mangui tribe!"

Dorgon saw the soaring smoke and dust approaching around Saerhu City, and there was nothing he could do. Xiong Tingbi and the main force of the frontier army never showed up, so it was because of this idea.

There was only one Liao army in Mangui on the South Road. When the Weisuo army was about to collapse, and even when the Jin soldiers on the South Road were approaching Liaoyang, he still stood still.

Now it seems that it was Xiong Tingbi who had made up his mind a long time ago to make a quick decision!

Duduo was also speechless. How could the situation deteriorate to such a degree overnight?

The two white flag troops that were originally cut off were besieged in Sarhu by the [-] main frontier troops that suddenly appeared from the Ming army.

Dorgon suddenly laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder.

"I get it, I get it."

"Xiong Tingbi let the old village not fight, it is the way to surround the points and fight for aid. He wants to lure the main force of King Khan to retreat, and then gather and annihilate them!"

Duduo was stunned, but even he could sense the pros and cons, and said quickly, "Then... what is the solution?"

Dorgon looked up at the sky and sighed after a long time:

"It's useless. My Dajin army fought too smoothly a few days ago. There are still many solitary troops like Yue Tuo who are rushing forward. How can we get back in a while."

"Now I can only hope that my father Khan's spirit in the sky can protect our Jianzhou warriors, and we have won the victory!"

……

"High, the platform is really high!" On a small slope in the distance, Xue Laiyin rode his horse beside Xiong Tingbi, and said with a smile:

"Jiannu certainly didn't expect that our army would go straight to his old village. Hearing that Saerhu was besieged, he would definitely come to rescue him, and then he could fight decisively with him."

Xiong Tingbi nodded, and said in a muffled voice: "Thanks to today's emperor's reliance, I have been in charge of the Liao Dynasty for several years. Now the Liao land is already riddled with holes and cannot withstand any greater disasters."

"Send the order to attack the city, use the fastest speed to break through Saarhu, and leave no one alive."

After finishing speaking, Xiong Tingbi took a deep look at the fortress built between the two river basins, where hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers were buried.

As several fast horses from the superintendent battalion ran down the mountain, the frontier soldiers who had already surrounded Saarhu City began to attack one after another.

Xiong Tingbi, on the other hand, was sitting on the small slope, commanding thousands of troops.

Dozens of the latest suppressing captive cannons were pushed to the front of the formation, and then there was a series of bombardments that shook the mountains. Each of the strong frontier soldiers was ordered like a tiger that had descended from the mountain. eagle.

They galloped, shouted and killed, and approached the city of Saerhu, erected a ladder, and looked from a distance, like ants, they climbed up.

Zuo Liangyu held the goose-wing knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "You're a fucking idiot, what are you doing bombarding the city wall, let me keep an eye on the city gate and bombard it!"

"The first one to smash the city gate will be rewarded!"

After all, the Zhenlu Cannon was developed by the Armament Department after it seized the artillery from the Dutch. Today, the main combat artillery of the Ming Dynasty is second only to the Hongyi Cannon in terms of power.

Perhaps many Jurchens, throughout their lives, never imagined that they would see such a scene where they were constantly being fired from all sides.

The firearms battalion of the Liao army really exerted its power at this time.

Hundreds of suppressing captive guns were lined up on the high ground around Saarhu City, and they plowed the interior of Saarhu City three times before the Ming army reached the city.

After several rounds of bombardment, the seemingly solid city gate of Saarhu seemed to be crumbling.

Countless frontier soldiers pushing and colliding carts yelled, gathered at the gate of the city and kept crashing, once, twice, three times... the gate collapsed.

Afterwards, cheers erupted from the Ming army, and Man Gui, who had been wandering outside for a long time, also drew out his saber, and was the first to charge forward.

The cavalry from Kuandian Fort rushed in from the south gate of Salhu, and the besieging frontier army also jumped up the city wall from the city gate and ladders, sweeping away the white armored slaves at the top of the city like cutting wheat.

No one thought that even Fushun, which was dominated by the Weisuo army, could survive a day and a night when facing the main force of Huang Taiji.

Saerhu, the fortress entrusted by Huang Taiji with two white flags for defense, was captured by the Ming army in less than half a day.

Although the combat effectiveness of the slave soldiers of the two white flags is not trivial, even though they have more than 2 people, as more and more frontier soldiers shouted and rushed into the city.

In this way, Saarhu was easily captured by the main force led by Xiong Tingbi.

Chapter 918 Going South to Mongolia

The two white flags were unprepared, and each of them was so frightened by the sudden roar of artillery that they were dizzy, and even their mounts couldn't control them.

When the armored soldiers and horses of the Ming army rushed from the surrounding floods like a burst dike, they realized that what they encountered was the main force of the Ming army leaving the pass.

Although Dorgon immediately ordered the two Jurchen soldiers of the White Banner to fire arrows at the top of the city and killed a large number of Ming troops, they still underestimated the power of the Ming army's firearms.

Zhu Youxiao gave Liaodong 1000 million taels of military expenditure each year to set up a firearms battalion. This money was not spent in vain.

As soon as the Firearms Battalion approached the city, they immediately raised their blunderbusses and aimed at the golden soldiers at the top of the city. For a moment, countless white-armored slave soldiers screamed and rolled down the city.

Although the Firearms Battalion suffered some losses before reaching the city, once they reached the city, they easily defeated the archers of the two white flags.

After that, the frontier soldiers didn't show any cowardice, they immediately erected the ladders, climbed up continuously, and seized the top of the city.

After the Ming army climbed to the top of the city, they also cut and killed everyone they saw.

At first, the two white flags were able to recapture the city twice with their brave combat effectiveness, but as the city gate was broken, Man Gui led the Kuandian cavalry into the city, and the battle situation was instantly rewritten.

The more than [-] golden soldiers under the two white flags who were attacked saw Duoduo killed in battle, and the dense Ming army rushed in continuously, as if they could kill them endlessly.

In the second battle of Saerhu, the Ming army won a complete victory.

Then, Xiong Tingbi entered the city and ordered the army of the guard to counterattack aggressively, attacking various strongholds occupied by Hou Jin.

Zuo Liangyu, the battalion officer of the car camp, approached Xiong Tingbi and said, "Report, we found many banner women in the city, what should we do with them?"

Xiong Tingbi walked out of the house and came to these banner women. Seeing their ragged clothes and mud all over their bodies, he couldn't bear it for a while.

But looking at them again, although the expressions on their faces were full of fear of the Ming army who suddenly invaded the city, Xiong Tingbi could tell that they had hatred deep in their hearts.

He remembered the tragic situation of the Liao people who had their eyes gouged out and their corpses exposed in the wilderness in Liaodong in the past, and he regained his indifferent look, turned around and said:

"Kill them all and leave none behind."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zuo Liangyu finished speaking, before Zuo Liangyu could make a move, a banner woman who seemed very well-behaved bit the hand of a Liao soldier and rushed towards Xiong Tingbi.

The soldier's hands were dripping with blood for a moment, but he still reluctantly stepped forward and subdued the banner woman to the ground.

The Banner woman was still yelling in Jurchen, and Xiong Tingbi had been in Liaodong for a long time, so he could naturally hear what the words meant.

"You dogs from the Ming Kingdom!"

"When we come back, we will smash your corpses into thousands of pieces and demote you as slaves of my bannermen!"

Hearing these words, Xiong Tingbi paused and left without looking back.

Behind him, Zuo Liangyu led the Liao soldiers to do his favorite thing. Before the sun was three poles, there was no longer a standing banner man in Saerhu City.

……

Huang Taiji, who captured Fushun, is in his Huanglong tent, dreaming of taking Shenyang first, then Liaoyang, and then occupying the whole of Liaoyang.

After a while, a guard ran into the big tent panting, and knelt down on the ground: "It's not good, sweating, Saarhu has fallen!"

As soon as these words came out, the princes and ministers of the Eight Banners were shocked.

Everyone knows that Saerhu is less than fifty miles away from Hetuala. If Saarhu falls, Hetuala will be like a woman who has stripped her clothes, and she can't be manipulated by Xiong Tingbi.

Huang Taiji is the calmest one. In his opinion, this is absolutely impossible. Although the Ming army's frontier army has good combat effectiveness, it is impossible to have such a fast attack speed.

What's more, Sarhu Dorgon personally led the elite of the two white flags to sit in the town, and he was foolproof.

In his opinion, he only took Fushun at noon today, and there are still sporadic resistances in the city that have not been completely eliminated. Even if the Dajin warriors are like this, how could the Ming army attack the city faster than him.

In fact, Huang Taiji was pretty good. Xiong Tingbi didn't even arrive in Saerhu for a day. How could he capture Saarhu so quickly?

You know, ten years ago, Yang Gao's four-way army didn't even touch the door of Sarhu!

But he overlooked one point, that is, the elite firearms battalion that the Liao army spends 1000 million taels of military expenditure every year!

1000 million taels, this is an astronomical figure, Zhu Youxiao throws firearms every year, if there is no effect, then it is too unreasonable.

For this spy report, Huang Taiji didn't take it seriously.

He felt that this was nothing but Xiong Tingbi's suspicious strategy.

Xiong Tingbi spread rumors in order to let himself retreat and return to Hetuala, but in fact, he panicked.This kind of thinking further strengthened Huang Taiji's intention to take advantage of the victory and go straight to Liaoyang.

On the same day, Huang Taiji had arranged a battle strategy, but was woken up at night when he was sleeping soundly.

Huang Taiji got up and looked, and found that it was Fan Wencheng, so he gradually suppressed the anger on his face, and asked, "Who is this woman?"

Fan Wencheng looked very panicked, and said: "King Khan, this banner woman is called Habuduo, and it is said that she escaped from Sarhu New City."

"I've said it earlier, Xiong Tingbi can't—" Huang Taiji became a little angry, but the next words stopped abruptly.

Isn't what Habudo is holding in his hand the blood-stained saber of Doduo?

Huang Taiji took the saber into his hand, realized the seriousness of the matter, sat up immediately, put on his armor, and shouted:

"Call all the princes Baylor to come to the big tent to discuss matters!"

Originally, the princes and ministers didn't have many letters. Could Saarhu be able to capture it just by saying it?

If the Ming army took it down in less than half a day, wouldn't that mean that all of them are pig heads?

But when they arrived here, they were all dumbfounded.

Huang Taiji had already put on the bright yellow armor, and beside him stood a bannerman woman who was still in shock and covered in blood.

Someone in the line recognized the banner woman, and immediately exclaimed: "Habuduo? You are Duduo's nanny Habuduo, why are you here?"

It’s okay not to see acquaintances, but when he saw acquaintances, Habuduo could no longer restrain the grievance and sadness in his heart, and burst into tears on the spot.

"Baile, King Khan, you must avenge Dodo!"

"The Ming army rushed into the city and slaughtered more than 3000 of our bannermen. They didn't even spare women and children. I escaped by pretending to be dead. Duoduo has already died in battle!"

All of a sudden, a pot exploded in the big tent.

Huang Taiji pulled out the tiger-headed sword with a "chuckle", stood up and said, "I, Huang Taiji, will seek revenge from the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the children of Jianzhou!"

"Three thousand sons and daughters of Jianzhou, just like this are the souls of Ming people under the knife. This is my fault as a big sweater. I want to criticize!"

"After the review, I will take you back and fight the Ming army!"

As soon as the words were finished, before the chatter in the tent dissipated, a guard broke in and said, "Report to the Great Khan, all the Mongolian tribes in Saibei and Monan have dispatched troops under the order of the Ming Emperor!"

"Zai Sai is leading the Mongolian tribe in northern Sai to attack our Yidong River area. Our army is weakly defending the Yidong River, and the local authorities are asking for reinforcements!"
