Chapter 245 The Five Ministers of Houjin(1/2)

"I, Dorgon, will never die here!"

Dorgon was hysterical and fought bloody battles!

In order to kill him, Jiang Wei personally led 10,000 Xia troops and attacked Dorgon who was ambushed!

Deng Ai also joined the siege!

More than half of the most elite white armored soldiers under Dorgon died in battle to protect Dorgon!

There were as many as 700 Xia soldiers who fell under the white armored sword!

Dorgon killed dozens of Xia soldiers with his hands, his eyes were red, like bloody men, and blood dripped down the sabre.

In addition to Dorgon and the White Armored Soldiers, the Eight Banners Niulu and the Eight Banners Cavalry also fought to the death.

Jiang Wei and Deng Ai continued to mobilize troops to intercept them, which made it difficult for Dorgon to break through the siege.

Dorgon was unwilling to die here.

In the era of great struggle, all princes had hope to compete for the Central Plains. The Later Jin Dynasty where Dorgon was located gathered many civil and military officials and also had hope to win.

"The white-armored soldiers are worthy of being the elite cavalry of the Eight Banners. They killed hundreds of people at the cost of dozens of people. If the number of white-armored soldiers is larger, the outcome will be unpredictable."

Jiang Wei dispatched troops to surround Dorgon, hoping to kill this difficult opponent.

In a sense, Dorgon's means of controlling slaves posed a significant threat to the Xia army, so Jiang Wei wanted to get rid of Dorgon.

In addition, if Dorgon can be killed, Jiang Wei's contribution will be better than Deng Ai.

"General, listen, it's the sound of Mingjin withdrawing his troops!"

Jiang Wei's army Sima reminded Jiang Wei.

On the chaotic battlefield, Fan Zhongyan's order to withdraw the troops was indeed heard.

"At this time, Mingjin withdrew his troops, it is only possible that the opponent's reinforcements have arrived, and there are still a large number of them."

Jiang Wei received Fan Zhongyan's order and began to gather troops and no longer surround Dorgon.

Dorgon still had thousands of soldiers and horses, and he could not end the battle in a short time.

The Xia army generals gathered again, and Dorgon and Ajige took the opportunity to break through.

"Ahhhh!"

While fleeing, Ajige was shot in the back by Zhang Huangyan. A heart-wrenching pain came. Ajige endured the pain and knocked away Zhang Huangyan's cavalry.

"The thief is indeed fierce, like a wild boar. Even if he is shot, he will still hurt people."

Seeing that Ajige was not killed like this, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but sigh at Ajige's tenacity.

Huang Taiji led the 30,000 Eight Banners Army to arrive. The north wind blew, and the flag was waving, breaking through the snow.

Because of Dorgon and Ajige were ambushed, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured in the Eight Banners, and the bodies were everywhere, covered with thin frost. Huang Taiji knew that he was still half a step late.

Dorgon and Ajige fought for a long time in the cold winter. Due to frostbite, their face was bloodless and they were defeated and their expressions were depressed.

When they saw Huang Taiji, they didn't know how to deal with Huang Taiji.

"Dorgon, Ajige, it's not the first time you have been in battle, you can't even see through the simple ambush. It's really disappointing."

Huang Taiji made a statement to attack the defeated Dorgon and Ajige.

In the Nurhaci forces, each general has his own troops.

Dorgon and Ajige's Niu Lu and Baijia soldiers were greatly damaged, and the two of them were seriously injured. The combined force may not be better than Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji became the biggest winner of Nurhaci's power.

However, the one that was lost was Nurhaci's troops.

"Before I set off, I told my father Khan in advance that if he knew that you had lost so many soldiers, including elite white-armored soldiers, he would definitely be furious. You should wait to bear the anger of Father Khan. This is the price of defeat."

Huang Taiji saved Dorgon and Ajige, but it did not mean that they could be safe.

Dorgon gritted his teeth, and Huang Taiji did nothing wrong, Dorgon was still full of hatred.

The reckless Ajige went wild: "Huang Taiji, don't do anything too much, otherwise we three brothers will not let you go!"

Huang Taiji's face was gloomy: "There is nothing wrong with me, and it's not that I sent troops, you would have lost your life. In a great battle, if we brothers cannot work together and cannot conquer the country at all, only by respecting me as the crown prince can we compete for the Central Plains. Don't you understand this principle?"

While Huang Taiji scolded Dorgon and Ajige, he gathered the defeated remnants.

He looked at the opposite side, and with Huang Taiji's ability, he might not be able to win.

Fan Zhongyan withdrew his troops and was also rectifying his troops and confronting Huang Taiji.

Fan Zhongyan led 60,000 Xia troops to capture Xingyang, Huang Taiji, Dorgon and Ajige's Eight Banners Army, combined with 60,000.

Jiang Wei and Deng Ai's ambush were successful, and Dorgon and Ajige's Eight Banners Army were beheaded tens of thousands.

With the arrival of 30,000 new forces of Huang Taiji, Fan Zhongyan was not sure of defeating Huang Taiji.

Currently, Fan Zhongyan has slightly more troops than three Beile, but Huang Taiji has a large number of cavalry and is not easy to deal with in the flat Central Plains.

"Retreat to Xingyang Town."

After Fan Zhongyan severely damaged Dorgon and Ajige's troops, he won the battle and retreated to Xingyang.

It was cold and the earth was shivering, and Huang Taiji was not easy to attack the city, not to mention that the number of defenders was more powerful than Huang Taiji.

The Xia army was still gathering in Hulao Pass, and Fan Zhongyan could get supplies at any time.

"In the past, the Han Dynasty, King Liu Bang of Han and King Xiang Yu of Western Chu repeatedly fought for Xingyang, which lasted for a long time. It was cold at this time, so it was not appropriate to attack the city and retreat to Daliang. Wait until the ice and snow melt, and try to retake it."

Huang Taiji was familiar with the history of the Central Plains and knew that Xingyang Town was not easy to fight. If Li Mi had not been on guard and was attacked by Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Xue Rengui and others, it would take at least several months for the Xia army to capture Xingyang under the premise that Xingyang Town could obtain assistance from the Eight Banners.

When Nurhaci learned that Dorgon and Ajige were defeated in Xingyang, the Eight Banners Army was killed more than 12,000 people, they were indeed furious.

"I will personally lead the number of Dorgon and Ajige's cattle records!"

Nurhaci cut down the troops that Dorgon and Ajige could call as punishment.

"Khan, what happened?"

The five ministers of the founding state of the Later Jin Dynasty, Eyidu, Fei Yingdong, He Heli, Anfei Yanggu and Huerhan, saw Nurhaci being furious, so he asked.

These five were the first five powerful generals to follow Nurhaci, helping Nurhaci unify the Jurchen tribe. In the Ming Dynasty, when the battle of Sarhu in Jurchen was tried to suppress the Jurchens, these five people made military achievements so that Nurhaci could truly gain a foothold in Liaodong.

Nurhaci claimed to be the Khan King, established the Later Jin Dynasty, appointed these five people as five ministers, and followed the country's affairs together.

They are of the same generation as Nurhaci, and their qualifications are much older than Huang Taiji and Dorgon and others.

Without Nurhaci and the five ministers unifying the various Jurchen tribes in Liaodong, there would be no Qing Dynasty that followed.

The five ministers who were fighting out of poor mountains and bad waters and brought out elite Eight Banners started almost from scratch with Nurhaci, and their abilities may not be inferior to Huang Taiji and Dorgon. After all, their situation at that time was much more difficult than Huang Taiji and Dorgon.

The five ministers and Nurhaci unified the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong, similar to the four major chiefs of Qiexue and Temujin unified the Mongolian tribes. They were all the first batch of famous generals of these forces.

These people had a deep relationship with Nurhaci. Seeing Nurhaci getting angry, they asked.

"The young man defeated Xingyang, and ten thousand people were killed in the Eight Banners."

Nurhaci had no reservations about these five loyal ministers.

"It's just a loss of ten thousand people. When the Khan raised his army with thirteenth pair of armor, his situation was even more difficult than now. Without troops, we can recruit them again."

"Everyone, Baylor needs more experience."

"There must be no mistakes in Xingyang Town, and it must be recaptured."

"Cao Cao in the south must be guarded."

The five ministers spoke with each other and gave advice to Nurhaci.

"Xingyang Town must be recaptured. When necessary, my Khan personally sent troops to attack Xingyang with you and attack Xingyang and break into Heluo!"

Nurhaci was defeated by Dorgon and Ajige and took his anger on the Luozhou Legion established by Zhang Hua and had the intention of killing.

Fan Zhongyan's Luozhou army farmed in Heluo. If he didn't make a sound, he would make a big splash and directly captured Xingyang Town, causing Nurhaci to fall into trouble. Nurhaci was very angry.

"When the ice and snow melt, we will attack Xingyang Town quickly."

The five ministers did not agree.

The five of them have all obtained various talents in this world, and the five of them join forces and are fearless.

Nurhaci had ambitions: "With your help, why worry about the big thing going forward? We could unify the Jurchen tribes, and now we can gallop across the Central Plains!"

In Xiacheng, Xue Rengui led 300 troops to escort the Wagang Army's general Shan Xiongxin through this place and met Li Ji, the commander of the 16th Guards, who advanced eastward.

Zhang Hua was worried that Nurhaci and the five ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty would launch a large-scale counterattack, so he sent Li Ji's Sixteen Guards to help Fan Zhongyan conquer Guandong.

Li Ji heard that Shan Xiongxin was seriously injured by Xue Rengui and was captured alive, so he met Shan Xiongxin.

Li Ji and Shan Xiongxin are fellow villagers. They went to Wagang Village together and had a good relationship.

Li Ji lobbies Shan Xiongxin: "Zhang Hua is a wise ruler. Now he occupies the entire Guanzhong, Heluo, and half of Hedong. He has a large territory and is qualified to compete for the Central Plains. Li Mi cannot get along with each other for a long time, and his power is declining, so he cannot succeed. You and I have the friendship of fellow countrymen, so I can recommend it on my behalf. Zhang Hua cherishes the powerful generals and will definitely use it."

Shan Xiongxin was unmoved and pointed at the injured eyes: "If Zhang Hua hadn't hurt my eyes with lime, how could I have become half a useless person? Such hatred, how can I be loyal to him?"

Li Ji has experienced many battles and his intelligence value has reached 94 points. He knows the knot in Shan Xiongxin: "You and Cheng Yaojin sent troops to attack Zhang Hua, so they were injured. This is not his fault. Moreover, when you go to Guanzhong, you will have unexpected gains and may change your mind."

Shan Xiong believed it but didn't believe it. Could it be that Zhang Hua could cure his eye injury and turn swords into jade?
