Chapter 828
Before the two red flags and Shuotuo reacted, they even gave up all the bases they had finally established in Haizhou. Gaizhou used countless blood and countless sacrifices to build. Therefore, in addition to the Black Mountain Regiment, there were also Haizhou Corps and Gaizhou, two corps composed of Haigai Yi soldiers as the core.
In fact, in order to capture Fuzhou, the Haibei Army strategically gave up the Haigai base behind enemy lines. The Haibei Army, the Haigai two Fu, directly came out from behind Shuotou.
Although after several wars, the total strength of the three regiment-level units of the Haibei Army was less than 2,500, their attack this time was definitely a surprise attack by the Jurchens, which made Shuotuo heart-wrenchingly painful, and also made Shuotuo know how Huang Taiji suddenly snatched away the two concubines and the entire Jinzhou City by the Haibei Army.
The supplies and horses that Shuotuo stayed behind were almost wiped out by Ji Jinsi. The guards and the armored soldiers and Baoyi Aha had no defense at all when they suddenly arrived in the Black Mountain regiment. They almost broke down and lost all their losses. Even the Mian armor and iron armor placed in the baggage convoy were seized by the Black Mountain regiment.
Although Shuotou and Liu Aita's soldiers are not at the point of being out of food, the beans are no longer available. Moreover, since there is such a large army of the Haibei Army behind them, Shuotou and Liu Aita have to stop the pace of attacking in large quantities and use a small part of their troops to protect their logistics line.
In fact, there is no logistics line at all. Now the logistics line between Shuotou and Liu Aita has been completely cut off by the Haibei Army. The only thing to be thankful is that although Shuotou's Jurchen army was attacked by the Haibei Army, it was still in a situation where it could attack and retreat or defend.
But when I think of the hundreds of two red flag armored soldiers who lost to the sudden attack of the Black Mountain Regiment, Shuotou felt very heartbroken. These were all the two red flags and even his personal capital. He had his own share, but inexplicably lost it without even a fierce battle!
This Liu Xiaomo is so sinister and likes stabbing people in the back! This knife is too fierce, making Shuotuo hate Liu Peng to his bones!
But no matter how painful it hurts, Shuotuo still wants to cheer Liu Aita: "Aita, the pirates in Haibei have used all their means, but many elites have never fought. As long as we work harder to fight, we can wipe out all the pirates in Haibei!"
Liu Aita also knew that it was Dai Shan and Shuotuo's pirate ship that could not get off, so she could only bite the bullet and said, "Okay, let's fight again. As long as we fight to Fuzhou, everything will have hope!"
Now Shuotuo and Liu Aita both pinned their all hopes on fighting with He Heli to join forces. In their imagination, how could He Heli have four or five thousand soldiers? Moreover, Nurhaci deliberately strengthened the defense of Fuzhou, so Fuzhou can be defended for ten days and half a month. At that time, things will turn around when they join forces with He Heli.
They also continued to cheer up the officers below on this matter: "Now there are not many miles away from Fuzhou. As long as you arrive in Fuzhou, everything will be easy. Please believe me and Shuotoutaiji. Dong'e's troops are the best elite soldiers in our Jurchens. Even if there are 20,000 Haibei troops besieging Fuzhou, they can still defend Fuzhou!"
However, Shuotuo and Liu Aita were obviously talking too much. Not long after they made such a speech to the officer, the blood-covered Jurchen cavalry had broken through the blockade of the Haibei Army and rushed over to meet with Shuotuo's reinforcements. However, during the blockade of the Haibei Cavalry, most of these cavalry had lost, which had already caused the morale of Shuotuo's army to plummet.
But what really caused the fatal impact was the news they brought: "Fuzhou City was broken, and He Heli's prince-e led two thousand Jurchen armored soldiers to break north. Please ask Shuo to go and pick up the prince-e and Dong E's tribe. If we go too late, we may become history!"
Fuzhou City is lost? He Heli has led Dong E's troops to break out north?
Originally, Shuotuo's department and Liu Aita department all their hopes were placed on He Heli and Heshuotu's persistence in Fuzhou, but unexpectedly, He Heli not only lost Fuzhou City but also led his troops to flee north. Now they have placed all their hopes on Shuotuo's rescue.
Is there anything worse than this scam in this world?gt;
Shuotuo couldn't help but smile bitterly, but said to Liu Aita: "General Liu, if we can't pick up Dong E's prince's erection and Dong E's army, we may not be able to explain to the Khan!"
Dong E's tribe can be said to be a large tribe of the Jurchens. In the history of the Jianzhou Jurchens, they have never had such a big tribe that was completely annihilated by the enemy. If the entire Dong E's tribe was left in Fuzhou, neither Shuotou nor Liu Aita could explain to Nurhaci, so Shuotou made up his mind to bring Dong E's tribe back first no matter how much the price it cost.
Liu Aita was mostly in a state of depression. He turned out to be swaying between the Great Jin and the Ming Kingdom. Now that Fuzhou has been abandoned, the Haibei Army that had originally besieged Fuzhou would naturally begin to divert its offensive. At that time, he and Shuotuo, an isolated army, would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
There are now eight main forces of the Haibei Army in front, and three infantry regiments from Jiheishan in the rear. The Haibei Army that took Fuzhou was more likely to continue to invest tens of thousands of war soldiers in him and Liu Aita. Shuotou's Jurchen Niulu had a large number of cavalry and was easier to break out, but his Han soldiers were almost all infantry, and as long as they were surrounded by the Haibei Army, they could not break out.
Therefore, he pointed to the battle scenes before and after, and said, "Shuotu Taiji, now there is no hope for Dong E's army and He Heli's prince. Our morale is completely unavailable. Let's save ourselves first. If we move more slowly, we may not even be able to save ourselves!"
Speaking of this, Liu Aita said earnestly: "It's not that I'm discouraged, but that the morale of the army is completely unavailable!"
Liu Aita is telling the truth. Not to mention that Liu Aita's Han soldiers are now shrunk and dare not attack Fuzhou at all. Even the Jurchen armored soldiers who Shuo entrusted to take charge do not have much fighting spirit now.
They originally thought they could enter Fuzhou in one go, but they did not expect that Gu Shanhe would dare to lead eight battalions of the Cavalry and Infantry to stand in front and fight against the Jurchen soldiers. However, such a hard battle could barely be accepted. Unexpectedly, they rushed forward for a few miles. Ji Jinying had already led the Black Mountain regiment to attack from behind, and wiped out all the supplies and troops left by Shuotuo's army in the rear.
For the Shuotuo army, they were all left with deep fear in addition to anger. Facing the front and back attacks of the Haibei Army, they were also worried about the possibility of the final defeat of the battle, but what was even more fatal was the loss of Fuzhou and the fleeing of He Heli Dong'e's troops in the north.
Now that Fuzhou has been abandoned to the Haibei Army, the existing strength of the Shuotou Army cannot recover Fuzhou at all. Instead, it is in danger of the Haibei Army's full siege and collapse of the entire army. He Heli's Dong E's army has become the greatest burden of the Shuotou Army.
From the perspective of protecting Shuotou's army, it is the best strategy for Shuotou's army to abandon Dong'e's army and retreat northward. However, now Shuotou's army not only cannot retreat northward, but instead has to stop or even continue to attack southward to meet Dong'e's army fleeing northward.
Therefore, Shuotuo's morale suddenly fell, but Shuotuo knew that it was impossible to explain to Daishan and Nurhaci when he retreated now. He told Liu Aita: "General Liu, if you retreat now, no matter what the outcome is, it will be a dead end! You and I will go to Fuzhou to take the defense!"
The two of them were responsible for going to Fuzhou to deal with the defense, but they were lost before they even started to deal with the defense. They lost at least hundreds of officers and soldiers and coats in the battle with the Haibei Army. With this result, they could find countless excuses, but they could not explain to Nurhaci and all Bellers.
Although taking advantage of the opportunity that Dong E's troops were entangled by the Haibei Army, it was the easiest way to save Shuo's army, Shuo's army had to consider the issue from a political perspective.
Even if they were just making a gesture, they would stay and fight with the Haibei Army and then consider the issue of retreating north. Therefore, Shuotou encouraged Liu Aita: "General Liu, this time our army will face the repeated attacks of the Haibei Army. At that time, we will rely on the gun skills of your Han soldiers!"
Although the Han soldiers are not strong in combat, their ability to control guns and cannons is far stronger than that of the Jurchen armored soldiers. Therefore, Shuotuo really feels that if the Haibei Army launches an offensive, then whether they can defend the position depends on whether Liu Aita's Han soldiers can do their best.
But for Liu Aita, this was not the ending he wanted. After he stepped down, he said to his cousin Liu Xingchang: "Why did He Heli and Dong E's troops lose Fuzhou City so quickly? That's not an ordinary trest, that's Fuzhou, that's Fuzhou City!"
Until now, he couldn't believe that the Haibei Army had captured Fuzhou. It was the city of Fuzhou that He Heli had guarded with four or five thousand soldiers. It had only been a few days. So how many days could he and Shuotuo last? He Heli had a city of Fuzhou, and he and Shuotuo were already at a disadvantage.
Liu Xingchang immediately said, "Since Fuzhou is lost, we cannot be buried with Fuzhou and Dong E's troops. Cousin, if you hesitate so much, I am afraid that the little capital we have finally accumulated will be ruined here!"
Although Liu Aita had the intention to join the Ming army, the development of this battle of Fuzhou was far beyond Liu Aita's expectations. The Jurchens, He and Li, led the entire Dong E army to guard Fuzhou. It can be said that they had both famous generals and large soldiers. As a result, the iron-torn Fuzhou was like paper, and was immediately captured during the offensive of the Haibei Army.
According to Liu Aita's original idea, now is the best time for him to lead his troops to rebellion, but when it comes to the real uprising, Liu Aita hesitated: "Wait a little longer, maybe these are nonsense, it's Shuotuo deliberately testing us!"
