In this battle, countless outstanding generals emerged from the Nine Frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, including Guo Qin, Jiang Bi, Jiang Rang, Ma Yong, Man Gui, Hou Shilu, Cao Wenzhao, Mao Wenlong and other famous generals .

There are also rising stars such as Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Bianjiao, Zhao Lvjiao, Zuo Liangyu, Meng Ruhu, who have experienced in the army in their early years.

With the complete victory of the Ming army in the Sarhu battle, the Jin army on the South Road also began to collapse.

The Nine Frontiers dispersed and led the guard troops to recapture the lost Liaodong city and fort, and the troops split up and marched towards Hetuala.

Huang Taiji's head was personally cut off by Xiong Tingbi, who was slightly injured, and passed on to Liaodong, which greatly affected the morale of the existing Jurchen army.

The Ming armies from all walks of life advanced all the way, and they lost all their main forces and most of the Baylor and Ezhen Jin armies who could fight, and they were never able to organize an effective counterattack.

In the Battle of Liaodong, the most prominent one was Cao Bianjiao, who was named Cao Cao in his early years.

He was only 19 years old, but he led the Liaodong iron cavalry in the decisive battle of Sarhu.

After this battle, even Xiong Tingbi called him "Little General Cao", and his reputation spread far and wide.

Chapter 927 It's All About Me

The night before Cao Bianjiao arrived in Hetuala.

The news that Tian Cong Khan was defeated and died at the hands of Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, spread back to Laozhai along with the defeated soldiers, causing panic and chaos in the city.

As the Ming army's counterattack approached, the banner people could no longer suppress the Han people in the city, that is, the dirty and lowly Nikan they called.

In the turmoil in Nikan, the news of killing the owner of the Bannerman continued to spread into the Khan Palace. Zhezhe sat in the palace and heard the news that kept coming back, but he was completely helpless.

The main force of the Eight Banners was lost in Saarhu in this battle. Almost all the Baylors and Erzhen who were used to fighting were killed in battle, and the only ones left were the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, women and children.

And the Ming army still has more than [-] troops, maybe even more if you count the guards.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and even she, a big Fujin, couldn't protect herself. Who would care about the bannerman farmland landlords who enclosed the land outside the city.

Zhe Zhe sighed, looked around the crowd, and said quietly: "The matter has come to this, we should withdraw from the old village as soon as possible, and lead the remaining banner people to migrate north."

Except for a few Ba Yala guards and a few Baylors present, most of the rest were Huang Taiji's Fujin and side concubines.

These women had long been intimidated by the ferocious reputation of the Ming army, and they had no intention of resisting. They nodded one after another, and raised their feet to go back to the palace to grab gold and silver.

As soon as they moved, there was a soft shout:

"do not move!"

Everyone looked back, only to find that it was the young Bumubutai, that is, Da Yuer who was loved by Huang Taiji the most, so much that he was unwilling to forcibly possess him against his will.

Bumbutai said: "Have you forgotten the content of the Seven Great Hate of Destiny Khan? If we retreat like this, what face do we have to go under the Nine Springs to meet the old Khan's spirit in heaven?"

"There are more than [-] banner people in the city. All women and old people are in battle. The number is more than that of the Ming army combined. There are more banner people forces in various places. They will all come to Laozhai for rescue."

"As long as we resist the Ming army's first siege, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Bumbutai's stern shout moved everyone present, and in the gap of hesitation, a helpless and deep voice came from outside the door:

"Da Yuer, stop talking, we can't resist any attack from the Ming army."

Bumbutai turned his head and stared outside the palace of King Khan: "Who is it? If you say such a thing and disturb the morale of the army, its heart can be killed!"

"It's me, Aixinjueluo Dorgon..." Dorgon appeared in front of everyone, dressed in military uniform but with a disheveled face and a still shocked expression.

In the battle of Saarhu, he had seen the capabilities of the Ming army.

He was able to escape from Sarhu, thanks to the desperate escort of the Zhengbai Banner guards, and after going through all kinds of hardships, he rushed back before the Ming army killed Hetuala.

"It's you...?" Bumbutai was particularly surprised when he found someone coming.

She is very clear about how arrogant Dorgon is. It can be said that he is the young junior with the strongest ability in Dajin.

What happened in this battle, even when he came back, he was gutted.

"How can you say such a thing?...Do you know that you are Tianming Khan's favorite Fourteen Baylor!"

Bumbutai stared at Dorgon, and walked up to him in a few steps, his face flushed, he didn't know if he was frozen by the cold wind that was blowing into the hall, or what.

"I know, I know. It is precisely because I know that I will hold on, and with this humiliating body, I will run back from Saarhu and take you away!"

Dorgon is not to be outdone, this time, he will no longer follow his own preferences, but will be used to Da Yuer's savagery.

It was the first time Bumbutai saw Dorgon treat her like this, tears filled his eyes for a moment, and his grievance was like a clear spring.

"When I came here, I saw with my own eyes how the Eight Banners of Dajin were defeated by the Ming army!" Dorgon walked in front of Huang Taiji's original seat, stood beside Zhe Zhe, and said with firm eyes:

"The cavalry of the Ming army all have pistols, and they can hit us from a distance. The new cannon of the Ming army is lighter than the Hongyi cannon, and more powerful than the general's cannon!"

"If heavy artillery attacks the city, there is absolutely no possibility for me, Dajin, to defend the old village!"

"In the eight years since the Apocalypse Dynasty, the strength of the Ming army's firearms is vastly different from before. If Dajin doesn't know how to adapt and follow the old ways, I'm afraid there will be no chance of even moving north!"

"It is precisely because I want to continue Dajin, so that Father Khan's career will not be completely annihilated, that I want to come back and take you away!"

Dorgon said so many words in one breath, each sentence was sonorous and powerful, hitting Bumbutai's body and heart every word.

Zhe Zhe took a deep look at Dorgon, and she saw from Dorgon, who was only 20 years old this year, the Destiny Khan who raised the army with thirteen armors.

Seeing Dorgon's return, the women of the Aixinjueluo family who had been forgotten by Huang Taiji in the harem found their backbone again.

Zhezhe made a decision that had been considered for a long time, and she said: "Tiancong Khan has died in Sarhu, Dajin can't be left alone for a day, and he should be a new Khan!"

"Dorgon is Tianming Khan's favorite fourteenth son. He is young but intelligent. He is as brave as Batulu. He should be the new Khan." She looked around at everyone and asked coldly:

"What do you think?"

Dorgon had never thought about it, so he quickly declined.

"Da Fujin, how good is this? I, Dorgon, am just a defeated general with no military exploits. If I am a profuse sweat, I'm afraid people will not accept it."

Zhe Zhe sat beside him gracefully, patted Dorgon's leg, pulled him onto the sweat seat of the tiger skin, and said: "Now you are the only direct descendant of the Great Khan, even if you imitate the Emperor Zong of the Ming Dynasty, you should be For the new sweat."

"Dajin is on the verge of destroying the country, so don't refuse anymore."

In just a few words, Dorgon's mind changed drastically.

The position of Great Khan, that Huang Taiji killed his own mother Abahai and forced her to be buried, for this seat, so close to him at this moment, how could he not be moved.

Dorgon's eyes moved slightly, his micro-expression had already been noticed by Bumbutai.

Da Yuer smiled coldly: "Dorgon, I thought you were a real hero in this world, but you are also a vulgar mortal!"

Dorgon looked at Bumbutai, his feelings for her were very complicated.

Couldn't stand everyone's pleas, or Dorgon was already coveting this seat, no matter what, there is no better way to unite people's hearts than to help him succeed to the throne in the current state of Jin.

Dorgon stood up and said: "Thanks to everyone's trust in Fujin and Prince Baylor, I, Dorgon, swear here that I will lead Jianzhou to escape the Ming army's interception and move north smoothly!"

"As for the future, we will wait for Beiqian to find a stable residence and find news about Tian Conghan. He will lead us to fight back and avenge our shame!"

Afterwards, he turned his head to look at Zhe Zhe, and said affectionately, "Da Fujin, from now on I will be in charge of everything."

The latter words are naturally excuses.

Dorgon saw with his own eyes that Xiong Tingbi had handed over the head of Huang Taiji, who killed his mother and enemy, to Liaodong. As long as he could escape, everything would be his.

Although, there is not much left in the Kingdom of Jin now.

Chapter 928 Stepping on Hetuala

For the Jurchen as a whole, the night of May 22 in the eighth year of Tianqi was destined to be a sleepless night.

Xiong Tingbi has only issued two supervisory orders since the decisive battle in Sarhu.

The first way: pass on Huang Taiji to Liaodong, then seal it up, send it to the capital and present it to Emperor Tianqi.

The second way: come out in full force and regain the lost ground.

The Ming army launched the largest counter-offensive in 20 years, and the morale was like a rainbow. The Eight Banners soldiers who used to be known for their bravery ran away with their heads in their arms, and they slumped thousands of miles.

In the Kingdom of Jin, Han Chinese from farms rose up everywhere to resist the oppressive rule of the Jurchens.

More than [-] Ming soldiers split up and marched forward under the banner of regaining the lost ground. Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army also landed from North Korea and marched northward with overwhelming momentum.

Hetuala was still in the dead of night, but Dorgon's eyes were very worried. He knew that the Ming army was not far away.

He could already feel the stone bricks under his feet beating slightly due to the galloping horses, and he could hear the artillery fire farther away, and the shouts of killing were higher and higher.

Waiting for a while, Dorgon saw that Zhezhe came back from Huang Taiji and her house before, and unlike the many Fujins who swept away gold, silver and jewelry like a storm, she only carried a small bundle.

Don't think about it, this is the testimony of Huang Taiji for many years.

Zhe Zhe said: "Da Yu'er is still in the house..." Seeing Dorgon walk away, he sighed and said: "She doesn't want to go, she wants to live and die with Laozhai."

"She said that without Hetuala, Daikin will no longer be the original Daikin."

Dorgon paused under the eaves, looked at the quiet palace, looked up at the cold and bright moon, and fully understood the thoughts of his beloved Da Yuer.

The cold wind was blowing, and Zhezhe shivered, "It's getting colder."

"The sound of the guns is getting closer." Dorgon took a last look at the room, then left resolutely, and said, "Let's go."

After about two hours of packing up, Dorgon took the few remaining Eight Banners soldiers, and protected Aixinjueluo's last clan members, and galloped away from Hetuala City's Junction Road.

Seeing that the people of Aixinjueluo's family had all fled, the banner people in the city didn't even have the last chance left. They wrapped up their burdens, dropped everything at hand, and followed northward.

……

However, the triumphant Ming army did not give them more time to evacuate.

Less than half an hour after Dorgon left, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and nearly a thousand shotguns suddenly appeared in the sky, scattered into projectiles, and landed in the city of Hetuala.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Thousands of projectiles fell into the city, like a meteorite rain, destroying all the gold military fortifications everywhere into pieces.

On the hillside in the distance, a "Ming" flag was raised in the wind, and several heavy artillery were pushed to the top of the hill by dozens of Liao soldiers, aiming at the city gate.

Then, reflecting the fierce cannon fire, the trembling city gate of Hetuala City was shattered, and the screams of killing suddenly sounded from the hillside.

The horseshoes stepped on the frozen soil and played a shocking piece of music.

The dense cavalry of the Ming army rushed down first and rushed into the city of Hetuala from various gates. Afterwards, more infantry rushed over the gates and walls.

The Ming army rushed into the city, and immediately launched a one-sided massacre.

At this moment, everyone tried their best, shouting the slogan "Wan Sheng", to avenge their relatives who were humiliated and killed by Jurchen for more than [-] years.

A group of Liao army cavalry rushed on the street of Hetuala, and rushed directly to the crowd of bannermen.

All of a sudden, screaming again and again, short limbs flying horizontally, Liao army cavalry rushed left and right, slashed with knives, stabbed with long spears, and shot with hand guns.

All in all, use all possible means to make the whole of Hetuala invisible to a living person.

As more and more Ming troops entered the city, the shouts of killing gradually turned into successive screams, the bang of buildings being knocked down, and the exclamation caused by the discovery of hiding bannermen.

At this time, no general will restrain military discipline. After 22 years of fierce battles, what the Tartars did to themselves and their relatives back then will be doubled now.

Zhu Youxiao's will is also very simple, six words, firmly engraved in everyone's heart - "destroy the country, exterminate its species."

Inside the Khan Palace.

Oboi kowtowed to Bumbutai, who was not much older than her, for the last time to thank: "Aoboi has been greatly favored by King Khan, and at this moment, he can't run away in embarrassment and join the little thief Dorgon. This slave turned sideways for the last time." Fujin kowtow!"

Afterwards, he stood up, drew out his broadsword, and shouted to the remaining ten or so slave soldiers inlaid with yellow flags: "Warriors of the Great Gold, follow me out and kill all these bright dogs!"

More than a dozen golden soldiers shouted and rushed out, and then a series of fierce fighting sounded outside the hall of Khan King's Hall.

But soon, the sound of fighting stopped abruptly and turned into hurried footsteps.

The sound of footsteps stopped outside the inner room of King Khan's Palace, and the Ming army's boots touched the door. Afterwards, a general carefully opened the curtain with window grilles.

Noticing that there was nothing unusual in the house, he walked in.

More Ming troops swarmed in, and soon they locked their eyes on a woman who was sitting on the kang, dressed in the Jurchen Fujin luxury service.

Cao Bianjiao stepped in, with the blood that Oboi had shed not too long ago on his body, he threw Oboi's death-dead head with wide-open eyes on the ground, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Who are you, what about the others?"

Only then did Bumbutai open her eyes. For a moment, her beauty attracted many people, and she unconsciously loosened her grip on the sword and gun.

Bumbutai squinted his eyes, his face full of arrogance:

"Borzigit, Bumbutai, daughter of Horqin Baylor Zaisang Buhe, niece of Empress Xiaoduanwen, sister of Min Huigong and Concubine Yuan, side Fujin of Tianconghan!"

Cao Bianjiao was startled, then looked her up and down, and sneered: "Your big gold is over, these titles are meaningless now."

"You Jurchens oppressed our Han people, all kinds of bad deeds, have you ever imagined that today?"
