Chapter 270 Daming Yu Shaobao
In the Central Plains, Sanfeng Mountain, Jiala Ezhen of the Later Jin Kingdom brought five Niulu, about 1,500 people, and a Han ginseng general, about 3,000 Han troops, totaling 4,500 people, encircled and suppressed the remnants of the Ming army entrenched here.
Nurhaci defeated Zhu Youjian, who established a force in the Central Plains. Zhu Youjian's power collapsed, but there were still remaining Ming troops in various parts of the Central Plains opposing Nurhaci.
This Eight Banners Army captured a Muzhai outside Sanfeng Mountain, and the Ming army in the Muzhai scattered.
"This Ming army, just like that, follow me into the mountains!"
Jiala Ezhen brought more than 4,000 troops to Sanfeng Mountain and continued to chase and kill the Ming army.
On one of the peaks of Sanfeng Mountain, a Ming Dynasty general looked at the Eight Banners Army lured into Sanfeng Mountain.
"Sir Young Guard, the Eight Banners Army has been trapped."
"You can't relax until you defeat the Eight Banners."
The generals of the Ming army came to the scene in person and ambushed the Eight Banners Army.
Hundreds of Ming cavalry fled, and more than 4,000 Eight Banners troops led by Jialaezhen were chasing him.
"It seems a little wrong."
The Han ginseng general who was attached to the Eight Banners Army looked around the terrain and found that the trees were lush and narrow here, and more than 4,000 Eight Banners Army were forced to turn into a long snake formation.
And this kind of terrain is most suitable for ambushing.
"kill!"
Just when the Han Ginseng General was about to remind Jia Laezhen, the ambushing Ming army rose everywhere, rolling stones and rolling woods were echoing in the valley, and the deafening shouts of killing were smashed to the front and face!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The Eight Banners soldiers who were hit by the rolling stones and the rolling wood screamed in pain.
A Niu Lue was really hit by a flying stone, and his head was bleeding!
The lethality of stones is no less than that of crossbows, so in ancient times, there were special stone-capping soldiers.
The Ming army archers shot volleys of bows and arrows, and the sharp arrows pierced through the cotton armor of the Eight Banners Army and shot them to death!
Under the first round of arrow rain attacks by the Ming army archers, the Eight Banners Army lost at least one hundred people.
Jia Laezhen waved his saber and slashed the bow and arrow that was shot in flying!
He quickly glanced around and saw that all the Ming army was looking at him.
There are at least a few thousand Ming troops here!
"The intelligence seems to be wrong!"
Jiala Ezhen received the news that a remnant Ming army of more than a thousand people fled into Sanfeng Mountain and sent troops to attack the Eight Banners Army's food route from time to time. Therefore, he only brought five Niulu and a Han ginseng general to attack the Ming army.
But judging from the number of Ming troops ambushing the Eight Banners Army, during this period, the generals of the Ming army have been recruiting soldiers and unknowingly, they have recruited thousands of soldiers!
"Exit Sanfeng Mountain!"
After Jiala Ezhen discovered the slums, he immediately led the Eight Banners cavalry to open the way forward!
The Ming army archers shot seven rounds of arrow rain in a row, killing and injuring enemy soldiers in large numbers. Then the five hundred Ming army cavalry ambushed in the valley came out in full swing and chased them in the rear!
Only half of the more than 4,000 Eight Banners Army escaped, with more than 800 people killed and nearly more than 1,000 captured, most of which were Han soldiers ruled by the Later Jin Kingdom.
The Han ginseng general was also captured and brought to the Ming army generals.
"Sir, please spare your life, the villain is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"
"You want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. There were opportunities before. At this time, you are not regretting, you just regret that you were caught. People come, quit and behead them!"
The generals of the Ming army hated evil and did not take in the Han ginseng general who worked for the Eight Banners Army, but directly ordered the beheading.
His general said: "Sir Shaobao, we will defeat this Eight Banners Army and they will flee back to the Later Jin Kingdom. Nurhaci will definitely send more troops to attack us. Sanfeng Mountain may be difficult to stay."
"The terrain of Sanfeng Mountain is steep. If we want to defend it, people will be consistent and they will not be so easy to capture."
Ming army generals strengthened their defense against Sanfeng Mountain.
His territory has tens of thousands of people, and he built a village to protect himself, and believed that he could stick to it for the time being.
The defeated Jialaezhen fled back to Yangdi City near Sanfeng Mountain and begged for mercy to Nurhaci, who was stationed here.
"You have five Niulu's troops and a Han army to attack a disastrous Ming army. As a result, you are easily trapped and lose your troops and generals, and you will be demoted to Niulu's Ezhen from then on."
Nurhaci's face was gloomy.
The troops brought by Jiala'erzhen was not inferior to those of the Ming army, but they were defeated because of the sudden impoverishment. Nurhaci could not accept this.
Jiala Ezhen said, "Please calm down the anger of a great khan. When the slave broke through the siege, he captured a Ming army alive. He had already asked who the chief general of this Ming army was. It was natural to defeat this person."
Nurhaci's face was slightly relieved. At least this Jiala Ezhen brought back the exact information: "You are doing pretty well. Who is the Ming army general who built a village in Sanfeng Mountain to protect himself?"
"The Ming Dynasty's young security guard Yu Qian."
"It turned out to be Yu Qian who defended the Forbidden City."
Nurhaci and the military generals of the Later Jin Dynasty who were present naturally knew Yu Qian, the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Tumu Fort Incident, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was captured by the Mongols. Yu Qian was ordered to defend the Forbidden City when he was in danger. He did not surrender to the Mongols and had re-creation of the Ming Dynasty.
"This person has a lot of experience in defending the city. However, Yu Qian's reputation lies in his integrity. He may not be able to compete with you in leading troops to fight."
"Yu Qian recruits troops and attacks our food routes from time to time, sooner or later will be a hidden danger. It is better to mobilize a large army, attack suddenly, and eliminate the Ming army in Sanfeng Mountain in one fell swoop."
"Who can be the chief general?"
"Father Khan, let me leave this matter. I have a plan to defeat Yu Qian's Ming army."
Huang Taiji recommended himself.
Nurhaci looked at his outstanding son, and Huang Taiji's performance satisfied him, but at the same time, Nurhaci was also a little afraid of this growing son in his heart: "I will give you fifteen Niulu troops to defeat Yu Qian quickly."
"Thank you, Father Khan."
Huang Taiji obtained fifteen Niulu's troops, including at least 5,000 Eight Banners, plus some of the Eight Banners of the Han army and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian army, and were confident in dealing with Yu Qian's thousands of Ming troops.
Because Yu Qian was hiding in Sanfeng Mountain and lacked military armor, the Ming army basically relied on his will to support him.
Dorgon followed Huang Taiji and said, "Huang Taiji, Yu Qian, is good at guarding and occupies the geographical advantage of Sanfeng Mountain. How do you plan to chew this hard bone?"
Huang Taiji smiled confidently: "Attacking the heart is the best, and attacking the city is the best. As long as the benefits are sufficient, there will always be people willing to work hard for me. It is rare to see loyal people like Yu Shaobao of the Ming Dynasty."
Dorgon looked at Huang Taiji, and he discovered the reason why he was always unable to compare with Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji is good at using people's hearts and often wins outside the battlefield.
This ability is something Dorgon lacks.
"You have just returned to my command and are still a new face. You bring a team of troops to surrender to the Shaobao."
Huang Taiji instructed a Han general to go to Sanfeng Mountain to join Yu Qian.
"The last one will obey the order..."
