Sarhu, Jilin Cliff.

Du Song's insistence put the Ming army in a dilemma.

The guerrilla general Chai Guodong and the guerrilla Wang Hao led their troops to attack the Jin soldiers on the cliff, but they suffered consecutive setbacks and more than a thousand casualties.

News came from the Sarhu Camp that a large group of Jin soldiers came out from Zarkha Pass behind Jiefan Mountain, and it is very likely that they were the main force of Jiannu who retreated a few days ago.

If the news is true, it will be very dangerous to attack the Dusong terminal of Jilin Cliff. If you want to attack, you can't retreat.

Dusong also attached great importance to the Jin army that came from the south of Zarkha Pass, and sent several teams of explorers to risk their close contact with the Jin army to find out the reality of the Jin army.

Soon, the news was confirmed that Jiannu, who came from Zarkha Pass, was indeed its main force, led by the four men of the slave chief Daishan, Amin, Manguertai and Abutai, with a force of less than 20,000.

However, it is difficult to judge the target of this Jiannu army.

...........

Should we first attack the Ming army camp of Sarhu or attack the Du Song headquarters in Jilin Cliff first? Dai Shan and Amin and others were in trouble. In the end, Dai Shan decided to attack the Du Song headquarters first, which means capturing the thief first.

After the decision was made, Dai Shanxian sent two thousand soldiers up the mountain to assist the defenders on the mountain to attack downwards, and sent four right-wing flag soldiers to cooperate with the soldiers on the mountain to attack Du Song's army, and monitored the Ming camp of Sarhu with the four left-wing flags.

When the Jin army flags were preparing to implement this order, Nurhaci led the other main forces to arrive. After knowing Daishan's deployment, Nurhaci immediately scolded: "I'm confused! Although this kind of fighting can weaken Du Song's headquarters, it is a war of attrition, which takes a long time. Once the Ming army in the Sarhu camp abandoned the camp to reinforce Du Song, this would be the rice to be made into a raw rice. Can you eat this kind of deployment?"

"Ama blames it!"

Dai Shan quickly reviewed his mistakes and admitted that he made mistakes in his deployment. Then he asked his father Khan to make such a deployment.

Nurhaci was satisfied with the attitude of the second son and said to the generals: "The previous fighting style could not shake the foundation of Du Song's army, nor could it disrupt their military morale. Only by gathering the main force to break through the Ming army of Sarhu first, causing the Ming army of Jilin Ya to lose its support. In this way, the morale of the army would be gone. When people's hearts were shaken, how long could Du Song last!"

The ministers all claimed that they were.

The next day, Nurhaci led more than 45,000 elite troops from the Six Banners to attack the Ming army camp of Sarhu. The troops were more than three times that of the Ming army.

After the Ming army discovered that the main force of Jiannu did not attack Jilin Cliff, but came to the camp, General Wang Xuan and Zhao Menglin immediately took charge of the defense.

The Ming army guarding the camp dug out the trench outside the camp, lined up guns and cannons in the camp, used flags and drums to promote their power, and prepared to fight with the Jin army.

The battle began quickly, and the Jin army launched an attack on the Ming army camp with two flag soldiers.

"Listen to my orders and open fire together!"

As the flag in the hand of Baoding General Wang Xuan waved out, dozens of cannons transported from the floating bridge to the camp shook violently at the same time, and sharp flames spewed out of the muzzle, and thick smoke rose.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the deafening cannon sound, dozens of iron balls smashed fiercely at the Jin army. As the shells fell, they jumped up, and the charge of the Jin army was swept down, and their broken limbs and broken arms were thrown up from time to time.

A solid shell jumped up and fell like eyes, swept forward nearly a hundred steps, and took away the lives of more than a dozen Jin soldiers along the way. The head, body, arms, and the thighs and calves of many people were thrown up and down like a small thing in the hands of a juggler. It was not until the bullet was exhausted that the shell stopped safely, and its body was blood red, leaving behind a shrill sound of blood and howling.

Many Jin soldiers were frightened by the tragic situation caused by the Ming army's artillery shells, and the charge team was in chaos. The first round of attacks was not even touched by the Ming army's battalion gate.

Afterwards, the two yellow flags and inlaid red flags of the Jin army organized two more attacks, but they were both repelled by the Ming army guarding the camp with firearms.

Seeing that the Ming army was so tenacious, the Jin army was surprised. The information was not that the Ming army stationed in the Sarhu camp was just a third-rate army of the Ming army. Except for the servants of the generals, they were all helping the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, but why were they so good at fighting?

"King Khan, the Ming army is not elite in guarding the camp, and it is not enough to hold artillery. As long as our army is willing to suffer casualties, the Ming army will not last long." Fan Wencheng Xianke said.

"If you can't take over this Sarhu camp, my Dajin will be in danger of the destruction of the country!"

Nurhaci agreed with Fan Wencheng's view that the Sarhu camp must not be sent. He immediately ordered his direct Iron-armored Baiboyala soldiers to cooperate with the red-armored soldiers of each flag to launch an attack on the Ming army camp again. He also ordered the banner owners to refuse to retreat without obtaining the military order, otherwise military law would be carried out.

The Iron Armored Flying Yala is the most elite soldier of the Eight Banners. Nurhaci gathered each flag together at all costs.

The participation of the Jin army in the war increased its combat effectiveness, and there were strict military laws. Jiala Zhangjing and Ezhen from each banner also took the battle personally. In the west room, the prince Li Yongfang also brought his Han army to the war.

After enduring the huge casualties caused by the Ming army's artillery fire, the Jin army finally approached the Ming army camp, and the Ming army guarding the camp was forced to hand over the short blade with them.

The Ming army, which lost artillery to help the war, soon began to lose support, especially the large number of casualties of the generals and servants who were the backbone of the Ming army, made the rest of the soldiers lose their souls and could not fight against the Jiannu who rushed in with iron armor.

In order to defeat the enemy in one go, Nurhaci personally visited the battlefield to command. Just after noon, Abatai's troops took the lead in attacking the Ming camp.

"Broken, broken!"

The Jin army flags all sounded and cheered loudly, but when the Ming army guarded the camp heard that they were all looking down.

"The elite of the Eight Banners soldiers, I have never seen the servants in their lives!"

Fan Wencheng couldn't help but exclaim that the Eight Banners elite soldiers who were fearless of death were really the most powerful army in the world. They were not comparable to the Ming army who could not even have enough food to eat.

"In this battle, Abatai's first contribution should be remembered!"

Nurhaci was also indescribable. Once the Ming army camp was broken, it was not far from its collapse.

After Abatai tribe broke into the Ming army camp, Daishan tribes, Manguertai, and Tang tribes also broke into them in ancient times.

At this time, the Ming army was already in extreme panic. The Jin cavalry rushed into the camp rode their horses and drove over the trenches and broke the trench, completely disrupting the camp.

Although some generals were still fighting back tenaciously, under the impact of the rushing iron cavalry, the Ming army was simply inadequate.

The Jin cavalry repeatedly attacked, slashed and ravaged, and was invincible. Some were killed by knives, some were trampled by horse hooves, and countless Ming army suffered casualties.

"Sir, I've lost, I've lost!"

Zhang Guodong, the deputy general who was guarding the east side of the camp, looked like earth. He looked at the general Zhao Menglin beside him in horror, and his teeth were trembling.

Zhao Menglin's face turned pale and gritted his teeth and said nothing. The wrinkles on his forehead were so deep that they could stuff a copper coin. But he was not as panicked as Zhang Guodong, and just gritted his teeth and looked at the Jiannu who had broken into the camp motionlessly.

The situation is now dead. Jiannu cut off the connection between the camp and Jilin Cliff. There were no reinforcements at all except for the defense camp established by Zhou Tiexin, a military supervisor who was more than 20 miles away.

Zhou Tiexin was a civil servant, afraid of death, and his troops had only more than 3,000 people, most of them were baggage, so how could they have the ability to save the camp?

So, this battle was really defeated!

Zhao Menglin secretly regretted that he should have advised Du Song to death. If the army did not divide the troops, how could the Jin army concentrate its main force to attack the camp without any worries?

Once the camp is defeated, Du Song is not far from failure.

If you lose this road, the other three roads may not be optimistic. If you don’t manage the four roads of your adversary, you will become a big defeat in the four roads!
