Chapter 919 I Only Owe the East Wind

Duo Duo died in battle, Dorgon disappeared, and after learning from it, Huang Taiji suddenly remembered that Dorgon had previously persuaded him that Song Li, the general soldier of the water transport, might be a spy sent by the Ming Dynasty.

At first, he didn't believe it.

Song Li was the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty who he lurks alone in Liaoyang to recruit, and when he came back, his prestige rose greatly because of this matter.

At that time, Huang Taiji was so full of ambition that he couldn't listen to advice at all.

In other words, even if he had a slight precaution in his heart at the time, he would have deliberately ignored it. After all, as an "emperor", who would like to admit in public that he did something wrong.

Sending someone to stare at Song Li is equivalent to admitting Dorgon's ideas and admitting his own failure. Huang Taiji's self-esteem was troubled and he was not allowed to do that.

But now, he can't care about so much anymore.

Now he suspects that it was this Song Li who caused the trouble, so that all the whereabouts of his army were known to the Ming army.

The rooster crowed, and the horn of marching sounded in Fushun City, which surprised the people of Ming Dynasty in the city. It turned out to be the horn of retreating troops.

Accompanied by the horns rising from various cities one after another, the Golden Soldiers, who spent a lot of effort, actually withdrew from Fushun City like a tide, and just retreated like this!

That morning, Song Li, who heard the news, was surprised from the bed, and even he was also very surprised, why Jiannu suddenly withdrew his troops.

"It's strange. Last night, the old slave had a meeting. He gathered the crowd and went straight to Liaoyang, and then came back to take Shenyang. Why did his tone change overnight?"

These days, in order to survive, Song Li has done a lot of bad things by the old slave's side, and only then has he gained the other party's trust.

Last night, I celebrated winning Fushun and drank with me all night. I just slept for more than two hours and felt very tired.

As soon as he got off the ground, he heard the servant who came with him to vote, and his face suddenly became a little dark, "I don't know, maybe the old slave noticed something."

"Order to go on and tell the brothers to wait for my will before acting."

Before he finished speaking, another servant came in from the outside and said in a low voice: "Zhantai, a Han woman came outside the house. She said she came here secretly because she heard that Jiannu had withdrawn."

Song Li thought about it and said: "I can't see, this girl's origin is unknown, maybe the old slave sent us to test us." He paced back and forth in the room, his face was cloudy:

"At the moment, I have made all the arrangements. I have secretly instigated a few Han army flags that have long been rebellious. I just wait for the east wind to blow..."

"...At that time, we will all be able to get rid of the identity of traitors and make meritorious deeds!"

While speaking, the Ba Yala guard specially dispatched by Huang Taiji stepped into the house. He was dressed in fine white armor, with a long knife tied around his waist, and he had a hulking back.

The tartar glanced back and forth, and shouted in blunt Chinese: "Handu Tong Baylor, the Great Khan sent me to ask you to put on your armor and go out!"

Song Li felt bad, but still greeted him with a smile: "Please go back and tell Da Khan that I will go out and gather my subordinates to work in front of the account!"

"Hmph." The Ba Yala guard didn't lift his eyelids, and said sullenly, "You are welcome, Dutong Baylor, I'm just here to deliver a message!"

When the Tartar soldiers left, Song Li immediately became flustered and grabbed his saber: "Go and gather the brothers, the old slave must already know that we are surreptitious!"

The servant also looked nervous, and asked again and again: "What do you mean by suppressing the platform?"

"Listen to my orders first. If something happens to me, you will immediately contact the three Han army banner commanders and tell them that the end of the Qing Dynasty is approaching. This is the time for them to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!"

"I'm dead, you can rise up immediately and respond to the Taiwan army!"

The servant's expression was startled, he cupped his fists and walked away.

……

Huang Taiji immediately summoned the main forces of the remaining Six Banners under his command. Counting the Nikan and Han Army Banners accompanying the army, there would be more than 10 people.

Its majesty is huge, and the twelve kinds of banners with two reds, two yellows, and two blues are accompanied by the yellow dragon banner, covering the sky and the sun, and hunting!

Huang Taiji did not stop at Fushun Pass, and went straight to Saerhu New City 33 miles away.

This time the Eight Banners army is returning to help their hometown. In the old village, everyone has relatives, so naturally they are extraordinarily hard-working, and their momentum is like waves, surging.

However, about fifteen miles away from the new city, suddenly there was a burst of earth-shattering gunfire from the other side of the Hun River. Countless Ming army cavalry ran across the bank accompanied by the sound of gunfire, and dust and smoke rolled up behind them.

Directly opposite, under the city of Saerhu, more than [-] Liao army main forces lined up early and waited.

On the south side, there was another faint shout like waves. This time, Daming also mobilized all the elites that the Nine Sides could mobilize except for the city guards.

Its voice and power are not weaker than Huang Taiji's all-powerful soldiers!

Huang Taiji pulled the reins to signal the army to stop, his eyes showed worry or excitement, his voice trembled slightly for the first time.

"Da Ming, this is a fight with me to determine the outcome..."

On the side, Daishan also felt that he was too ashamed to fight with Huang Taiji earlier, so he murmured:

"Look at the momentum, the three sides in front are waiting in line, I'm afraid it's all the main force of the Nine Sides of Ming Dynasty at this time!"

"En!" Huang Taiji nodded, and then said loudly:

"Xiong Tingbi is Ben Khan's old opponent. His tactics are many times stronger than Wang Huazhen and Yuan Yingtai's, but there is no need to be afraid of him. Ben Khan knows his formation well!"

"Xiong Tingbi is using his power to intimidate us. Two of his three sides are all suspicious, true and false, false and true, in order to lure us into the bait, and then he will win by surprise!"

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of shouts from the surrounding Jinbing crowd.

Turg said: "Since the Great Khan is familiar with Xiong Tingbi, we have the backbone in our hearts! Please, the Great Khan, give orders!"

Dai Shan smiled and said: "Exactly, I, Jianzhou, are united around Da Khan at this moment, recreating the glory of Destiny Khan Saerhu!"

"Ben Khan's edict, Dai Shan and Yue Tuo, lead the two Red Banner troops to ambush on the banks of the Hun River!"

Daishan and Yuetuo didn't have any dissatisfaction this time, and stepped forward to accept orders.

Huang Taiji pulled the reins of his mount, and continued:

"Mang Gurtai and A Min, I want you two to lead the two blue-flag troops and head straight to the small forest in the south of Saerhu City!"

As soon as Amin heard it, he immediately understood what it meant, and said with a smirk: "There is a swamp in the south of Saerhu City, and there is a forest in the south of the swamp. The Ming army may not know it yet."

Huang Taiji sneered: "There are lowlands, weeds, and many ditches, and then there are forests. The Ming army will not know about it! You all lie in ambush in the woods. If there is any movement of the Ming army in Saerhu City, I will cut them off first." the way back!"

"Turg! Hu Erhan!" Huang Tai said with a great smile, "You are by Ben Khan's side, and lead two yellow-flag cavalry of one thousand each into battle, as if attacking Xiong Tingbi's army head-on."

The two shouted their orders.

Huang Taiji drew out the tiger-headed broadsword and raised it up into the sky.

"Daijin survives or prospers. In this battle, if we can defeat the Ming army in Sarhu once, there will be two times!"

"The three armed forces listen to my orders and change their strategies at any time!"

All the Baylors screamed loudly and were extremely excited.

9 Chapter Twenty

The two blue flags face south, the two red flags face north, and the two yellow flags are in the middle. Pushing the shield cart, carrying the yellow dragon flag, Hu Erhan and Turge each lead two thousand light cavalry, posing for a decisive battle at the main gate.

The rest of the Nikan army and the Eight Banners of the Han army were also allocated to three routes.

Hu Erhan led a thousand cavalry with yellow flags, and had just killed two miles away from the Ming army's central army, when he heard a burst of cannons in the distance.

Perhaps it was because the Ming army saw their big gold cavalry rushing, panicked for a while, and started firing artillery indiscriminately again.

Facts seemed to confirm his guess, this bombardment rarely hit the target, and Hu Erhan's thousand light cavalry responded to the sound of the cannon and easily killed the Ming army's central army.

But after all, the Liao army in front of the formation is a battle-hardened Liao army. Although the artillery fire was not very good, the charge of a thousand Qingqi did not shake their formation in the slightest.

After a fight, both sides suffered dozens of casualties, Hu Erhan led the Qingqi and retreated quickly without the slightest desire to fight.

In the middle army, Xue Laiyin in front of Xiong Tingbi looked worried, looked at the smoke and dust covering the sun, frowned and said: "Taitai, look at this posture, is this old slave not following our plan of suspicious soldiers?"

With sunken eye sockets and deep eyes, Xiong Tingbi said firmly, "No, pass on the order and implement it according to the army's previous battle strategy."

"Man Gui continued to lead the Kuandian cavalry to harass on the opposite bank of the Hun River, and Cao Wenzhao's troops on the south bank made it bigger. Remember, they are the main force!"

In fact, Xiong Tingbi's main force this time did not appear on the battlefield at all.

All his main forces were hidden in the small woods south of Saerhu City, which was the best place to ambush troops, and it was also accidentally discovered by Xiong Tingbi when he went out to investigate the terrain.

Compared with most other officers of Ming Dynasty, Xiong Tingbi has always had one advantage, that is, he must go to the main battlefield in person before the battle.

Even though he saw the endless swamps, depressions and wastelands in the south of the city at that time, he still continued to walk forward several miles patiently.

As soon as he walked, he found an excellent ambush site.

There were only [-] Liao troops in the Chinese army, and the Kuandian cavalry in Mangui looked very powerful, but their number was only [-], but Xiong Tingbi equipped each of them with three mounts.

The reason is to try to make the movement as loud as possible.

As for Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao on the South Road, it was Xiong Tingbi's bluff. After all, Cao and Cao had a high reputation in the slave army.

Their appearance on the South Road will interfere with the old slave's judgment.

Of course, this is also a big gamble.

The Chinese army only has [-] troops, and the distance from the other three roads to Sarhu is not close, and the nearest Cao Wenzhao is more than ten miles away.

Once the Chinese army was besieged by concentrated fire, even the [-] elite Liao army would not be able to withstand Huang Taiji's main force for too long on the wide plain.

After Hu Erhan came back, he laughed loudly: "Khan, the Chinese army must not be the main force of Xiong Tingbi. Before I got close, the Ming army started to shoot randomly!"

Turge also led the troops back at this time, and said loudly: "Khan, I led the troops around Sarhu for a while, and I didn't see any shadow of the Ming army in the city."

Huang Taiji nodded, these two people are the five ministers of Dajin Liguo.

They are also the generals who are still alive to follow Nurhachi, and they have also participated in the Battle of Sarhu. Huang Taiji still believes in their judgment.

Since the opponent is pretending to be the main force, he naturally has to cooperate.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji also pretended to believe that the main force of the Ming army was in front of him, and marched forward with his own "main force" with great fanfare.

Fighting must take a while, but neither Huang Taiji nor Xiong Tingbi wanted to make a real move in the middle. Both of them knew that the opponent's main force was not in the middle.

Xiong Tingbi only left [-] infantry and some firearm battalions in the middle, and he dared not fight.

As for Huang Taiji, he was frightened by being deceived. With this family background, although he pretended to be decent, the two yellow flags are his direct descendants, and there are only 2 people.

In case, what Xiong Tingbi is bringing is really the main force, why don't they hit the muzzle of the gun and deliver it?

This time, the Ming army and the Jin army started their first field battle after many years under the city of Sarhu with the intention of testing each other.

Huang Taiji led an army of two yellow flags and pressed them over. The head of Saerhu city and the firearms battalion behind the Ming army opened fire one after another.

The sound of the cannon echoed the killing sound, shaking the sky and the earth, tearing people's hearts.

Huang Taiji personally led the troops, followed by Hu Erhan and Turge, passed through the artillery fire, crossed the ditch dug by the Ming army, and continued to kill more than a hundred paces away.

At this time, the blunderbuss team of the Ming army began to release the blunderbuss.

The continuous explosion of guns lingered in their ears, and the lethality caused by the volley of bird guns was far more serious than that of artillery.

All of a sudden, the two yellow banner men and horses flew with flesh and blood, and Huang Taiji was terrified. He had never seen such a powerful bird gun in the Ming army!

It seems that Xiong Tingbi usually hides a lot of things!

Within a hundred steps, it was like a passage of death.

Many soldiers and horses of the Jin army, whether it was the cannon fodder-like Han army flag and the conscripted Nikan, or the well-equipped and heavily armored elites of the two yellow flags, could not withstand a quick shot of lead bullets.

All the golden soldiers who were hit were all seriously injured and screamed!

Huang Taiji saw a Ba Yala guard around him, before he could touch the Ming army, his helmet was hit three times by the blunderbuss, and he fell off the horse and died on the spot.

……

On the southern battlefield, Cao Wenzhao rode on a tall horse, and the leader walked at the forefront.

Zuo Liangyu, the battalion officer of the car camp, led his troops to follow behind. After a while, there were whistles from behind the slopes on both sides.

Thousands of arrows were fired from behind the slope, and countless Ming soldiers were concentrated by the arrows, and fell to the ground, covering their wounds and crying in pain, the ground was bloody.

Then, behind the earth slope, on the plain, more than 2 Zhenglan Banner, Xianglan Banner Bing Nikan, and Hanjun Banner Jinbing suddenly appeared.

One by one, the slave soldiers were holding big knives and shields, and rushed down the slope crazily.

Cao Wenzhao shouted loudly: "Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy!"

The two armies smashed into a group in an instant, with broken limbs flying, but soon, the rear of the Ming army came, and it was Cao Bianjiao who led the team to join the battlefield, and surrounded the Zhenglan flag led by Mang Gurtai from behind.

In an instant, swords and soldiers met each other, and the sound of killing was deafening.

In the rear formation of the Ming army, there was even more artillery fire, and the sound of blunderbusses was endless. More and more reinforcements from the Ming army joined the battlefield, and there were also many cavalry galloping like a shuttle, and they were circling towards the back of Manggurtai.

"Big and Big Cao! Che Ying, everyone is here!" Mang Gurtai saw that the big and small Cao and Zuo Liangyu's Che Ying had all arrived, and then looked at the sides of his body, and suddenly exclaimed.

"Quick retreat, quick retreat! This is the main force of the Ming army!" Amin was also convinced. He brandished a big knife, hacked a Liao army soldier to death, and turned his head and shouted:

"Send someone to rescue Wu Baylor!"
