Huang Taiji couldn't laugh anymore because he found out that he had met a group of enemies who liked to pester and were particularly capable of fighting!

From June 11, 2018 to today, in just four days, the army led by Huang Taiji had fought a breakthrough battle, two defenders, broke through three blockade lines, and repelled the enemy's night attacks four times in succession... Although it was a "ten battles and ten victories", each "victory" would take away hundreds, thousands or even thousands of lives of the Eight Banners Manchu and the Eight Banners Mongolia!

Before the breakout in Nalin City began, Huang Taiji had at least 64,500 troops! During the breakout, at least 20,000 people were thrown off by him or acted as cannon fodder during the breakout. However, the number of people who successfully emerged was at least 30,000, most of them were the people of the Eight Banners of the Manchus and the Eight Banners of the Mongolians - these were the real capital of the Later Jin Kingdom. As long as they were still there, the vitality of the Later Jin Kingdom would not be greatly damaged.

However, in the battles that followed, there was no cannon fodder to use, so the Eight Banners soldiers of Manchuria and Mongolia could only bite the bullet and go on their own. Although the losses of 5600 at a time were not particularly large, it seemed that there were more than 5,000 people, nine 5600 plus one.

By noon on June 15, when Huang Taiji ordered people to count the number again, the Eight Banners Brigade, which was still running with him, had reduced to less than 25,000 people. Moreover, these people had been marching continuously for several days and nights, and even the iron-killing King Kong could not stand it! What's more, when these Eight Banners soldiers marched towards Nalin City, they did not bring much food and grass. When they broke through, they almost ran north with empty hands... Originally, Huang Taiji had set up two camps to stock up on the Laoha River, and left a small number of defenders and bagged slaves who transported grain (Huang Taiji had 70,000 soldiers on the way, and there were still 30,000 to packed slaves who transported grain). Under normal circumstances, even if a three or four thousand Ming army attacked, these camps could be defended.

But isn’t the defeat now?

Huang Taiji, the great knight, carried the coffin and fled in panic. Can these coated slaves who were left by Huang Taiji to guard the camp and hoard grain still count? They were attacked by the thousand-house cavalry (carried 3 kilograms of cannons) sent by Hong Chengchou, abandoned the camp, burned the food and fled.

So Huang Taiji's army had no food since June 13th!

Of course, after only a few days of food, the Eight Banners soldiers of Huang Taiji were not starved to death... The Eight Banners elite soldiers had horses, at least one person and two horses, and they could slaughter horses and eat meat without food!

But if a person can eat horses, who can horses eat? Huang Taiji's army fled in panic and was surrounded and blocked by the Ming army along the way, and had no time to herd horses. Moreover, the Eight Banners soldiers had no food to eat, and of course they could not produce essence to feed the horses, so they could only force the hungry horses to run day and night with a whip.

As they ran, many people went from cavalry to infantry. The Eight Banners and Mongolian vests were used to riding horses, so they couldn't walk. They were asked to carry dozens of kilograms of armor, equipment, and horse meat. After a day or two, they were gone after a long journey, they lost their elites and looked down upon them. Many people had lost their luggage and armor, and marched with only bows, arrows, swords and guns, and life-saving jerky horse meat.

Even if there was still Ma Ke riding, the horse under his crotch turned into a weak horse that shook step by step... he couldn't rush up at all.

If we meet a large number of Ming army pursuers and ambushers again... Huang Taiji dare not even think about it!

"Khan, Luomahe has arrived!"

Huang Taiji, who was drowsy and thinking about his thoughts on the sedan chair, suddenly remembered Oboi's voice. Oboi is now the vanguard battalion, and there are some cavalrymen who can run and fight at hand. The vanguard battalion is too important for Huang Taiji's army, so he has to concentrate all his efforts to support them and them.

I don’t know if Huang Taiji was too stubborn or had a bad ear, but he actually heard Oboi’s words as “sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-swe

Obai knew that he had heard it badly, and when he saw Huang Taiji's current situation, he only sighed.

"Khan," Oboi raised his voice, "The Luoma River has arrived... Ten miles ahead is the Luoma River! After crossing the Luoma River, it is Gaozhou City... We have stationed 1,500 Mongolian soldiers there and stockpiled a lot of food."

"Ah..." A fire of hope finally ignited in Huang Taiji's eyes, "The Luoma River is coming... By the way, Obai, is the water of the Luoma River deep? Can it pass? Are there Southern Armys on the other side of the river?"

The Luoma River is a tributary of the Laoha River. The river water is not very deep and there are many places to cross. Huang Taiji's army is like this now. There are still pursuers behind it and there are no time to build a floating bridge.

If you can't intercept, the trouble will be great!

"Khan, I just came from the Luoma River and did not find the ambush of the Southern Army." Obai said, "And the river of the Luoma River is not deep, so it is easy to pass... I have already wade through it and left hundreds of elite vanguard battalions on the other side of the river. If the Southern Army brigade approaches, it will not be hidden from them."

"Then, what about Gaozhou City?" Huang Taiji asked, "Have you sent someone to contact me?"

"Sent!" Obai smiled, "The slave found several herders and asked. Gaozhou City should not have been broken by the Southern Army!"

"That's great, it's really the blessing of Buddha..." Huang Taiji breathed and said to the left and right, "Hurry up... hurry up and sweat across the river!"

Huang Taiji at least shouted that he was not afraid of death, but he was still very afraid in his heart! He just wanted to stabilize the morale of the army and kept his face. Now he saw that he had escaped and ascended to heaven, of course he was afraid that he would have dreamed too much at night.

Following him, the group of Beile, all of whom were stretching their ears and listening. When they heard that the sweat was about to cross the river, they all started to yell.

"Great Khan, please cross the river with you!"

"Khan, let the servants protect you across the river!"

"Khan, the old minister is carrying you across the river..."

They are all loyal ministers and good brothers! With them, why worry about the failure of great achievements?

Huang Taiji nodded in emotion and waved his trembling hand, "Cross the river...cross the river together! Cross the river now!"

"Yeah!"

......

The water in the Luoma River is really shallow... so shallow that it is almost dry. Looking at the wide river channel, there is only one section in the middle, and the rest is dry.

However, Huang Taiji and others didn't doubt anything. The weather has been drought in recent years, and there has not been much rain in this area of ​​Northeast China this year, so it is not surprising that the Luoma River has dried up.

"Cross the river!" Huang Taiji squinted his eyes and looked at the other side of the river. He found that the white armored soldiers of Oboi's forward camp had already set up the cordon and seemed to be foolproof, so he issued a loud order to cross the river.

Following him, Sony, who was in charge of the sedan chair and the coffin, heard the order and shouted loudly: "Get up... and sweat heavily across the river!"

"Yeah!"

The four large coated servants carrying sedan chairs responded, carried the sedan chair and headed into the river.

"Bakish, will this coffin be carried across the river?"

Just as Sony was planning to cross the river with him, he heard someone asking in his ear. When he looked back, he found that it was Zhang Xiaoqi who was carrying the coffin.

"Cross, cross the river..." Sony waved his hand.

This coffin looks good, maybe it can be used?

"Cross the river, cross the river!"

Seeing Huang Taiji crossing the river with the coffin, Daishan, Abatai, Degele, Yuetuo, Shuotou, Sahalin and other big and small Beile didn't have the heart to care about their troops, and they all rushed to the Locke River with white-armored soldiers who were protecting themselves.

It seems as if you cross the river, you will be safe!

These Beile and the white-armored soldiers they brought all had horses. Now the Pegasus crosses the river is very fast, and Zhang Xiaoqi and the others carry the coffin to cross the river, which is of course slower... And as they walked, Zhang Xiaoqi suddenly found that the water under his feet was getting faster and was rising rapidly! Then, he heard the sound of "boom boom boom" coming from the upstream of the Luoma River!

This sound is very similar to the sound of water flowing when the flood comes, the waves collide with each other, and the back waves slapped against the front waves!

Sony's voice suddenly rang: "The flood is heavy, the river is flooding... Cross the river quickly! Hurry!"
Chapter completed!
