Shangjian Cliff.

After deciding to compete with Jiannu here, the Ming army's exploration horses discovered that at the end of the day, there were large braided soldiers coming from the valley. Judging from the color of the flag, they were the two red flags of Jiannu.

After the enemy situation came, Marin urgently ordered the troops to prepare for combat.

The first one to Shangjianya was the Jin army's Zhenghong Banner and the Inlaid Red Banner Division. Dai Shan and his brother Abatai went to a high place to observe the deployment of the Ming army, and said to their left and right subordinates: "Did the generals of the Ming Dynasty carved out from the same furnace? They like to divide their troops and camps? Such deployments seem to echo each other, which can serve as a horn, but they provide our army with an opportunity to divide them and annihilate them."

Abatai asked Dai Shan that because of this, why didn’t he attack the two battalions outside the Ming army’s camp first, weaken the strength of the Ming army, and instead attack the main camp first.

Dai Shan gave a very simple reason. If he attacked the other two battalions first, the Ming army commander Ma Lin would drive the troops from the camp to help, because the troops in those two battalions were all under his command by Ma Lin, and it was also the confidence that Ma Lin dared to stand firm on Shangjian Cliff, and would never be missed.

But if we attack Malin Camp first, the other two Ming troops may not have the courage to rescue them.

"Why is this?" Abatai was puzzled.

"Human heart!"

Dai Shan chuckled and explained to his seventh brother that the troops of the Malin tribe were all transferred from Xuanda and other towns in the Ming Dynasty, and most of them were not directly from the Malin tribe.

The various units of the Ming army were not subordinate to each other, so in order to preserve their strength, most of the Ming generals would not fight to the death, but instead hoped that others would fight hard and tough battles.

In this way, after the attack of the main camp of Marin's camp, even if the two Ming army camp leaders outside were willing to rescue, it would be a problem for whom they sent. What role would it play when they chose the troops and horses to come?

"Although the Ming army is powerful, it is always short of it compared to our Eight Banners."

Speaking of this, Dai Shan couldn't think of any words to describe it.

Abatai understood what the second brother meant, and accidentally thought of an inscription "National Unity" written by someone in the study of the eldest brother Fengying. He blurted out: "Unity!"

“Unity?”

Dai Shan savored the word carefully and nodded slightly, "Yes, my Eight Banners can have today because of my unity from top to bottom, and the brothers are united. His Ming army is a mess, and he is strong from the outside and the middle, so he is not an opponent of my Eight Banners."

After saying that, Dai Shan raised his whip and ordered the two red flags to directly attack the Malin camp, and did not do anything except for a few soldiers and horses to monitor the other two Ming camps.

After receiving the order of Gu Yingbeile, the generals of the two red flags of Jin quickly gathered their troops to attack the main camp of the Ming army in Shangjianya. First, they repeatedly rushed the defenses deployed by the outside of the main camp with cavalry, and then organized more than 1,000 infantry in iron armor to push shield chariots to rush forward.

The firearms deployed by Malin in the trenches outside the camp did not work as they expected before the war, and many muskets could not even be fired, which prompted the Jin army to pave the trenches leading to Malin camp.

In order to prevent the Jin army from breaking the camp, Ma Linli ordered the former guerrilla Ge Shifeng to lead the chariot formation out of the camp to counterattack the Jin army. The chariot formation organized by the Ge army effectively delayed the attack of the Jin army and killed many braided soldiers.

But Abatai, the leader of the Red Flag inlaid who had suffered from the Ming army's chariot formation, came up with a way. He asked his soldiers to use their superiority to set fire in front of the Ming army. The thick smoke brought by the fire choked the Ming soldiers and the Jin cavalry took advantage of the situation and attacked fiercely.

Ge Shifeng fought to the death to resist the guerrilla warriors, but his chariot formation was still penetrated by the Jin army. Ge Shifeng was killed in battle, and most of the soldiers were killed. The other officers and soldiers had to flee back to the camp in a panic.

When our camp was attacked by the Jin army, the other two Ming troops located in Feifen Mountain five miles away and Jiazigou six miles away were as expected by Dai Shan, they did not organize troops to support the Central Army camp as soon as possible.

After the army supervisor Pan Zongyan and the guerrilla gneiss finally organized the troops, the Jin army had already ended the battle, and the two reinforcements had to retreat to Yingpan.

In this battle, the two red flags killed more than 2,000 Ming troops at the cost of hundreds of casualties and burned more than 100 Ming troops, causing the morale of the Ming army to fall apart.

The next day, Nurhaci led four flag soldiers to Shangjianya.

When he knew that the second son Daishan had already achieved a great victory in the first battle, which greatly damaged the morale of the Ming army. Nurhaci was so happy that he praised Daishan as Guying Batulu, who was worthy of being the Great Jin Dynasty, and said even more excitedly: "After a hundred years, my youngest son and great concubine can be taken care of by the second prince!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Beller and the ministers were different.

Later, Nurhaci led his generals to the high ground to observe the Ming army. He saw a mountain to the east of the Ming army camp in Shangjianya. He ordered to occupy the high ground and attack the Malin camp at the foot of the mountain from the high mountain.

Marin, who was guarding the camp, also realized that the Jin army wanted to seize the high ground, and regretted that he had failed to deploy the defenders on this high ground.

But it is not too late to repair the sheep!

Ma Lin ordered Li Ximi, deputy general of Xuanfu, and his son Ma Ran to lead thousands of troops to seize the high ground with the Jin army.

The two sides fought quickly. Li Xibi's troops were all elite soldiers of Xuanfu, and the officers and soldiers were brave and tenacious. Ma Ran was also a young hero. He led hundreds of cavalry to repeatedly storm the Jin army, and the two sides fought together.

In the distance, Pan Zongyan's tribe and gneiss tribe heard the sound of guns coming from the direction of the camp, and did not dare to delay any more. Thousands of troops were gathered to reinforce.

Nurhaci ordered his fourth brother Yarhaci to lead the blue flag, and his nephew Amin led the Zhenglan flag to block Pan and Ma's two tribes. He also saw that the battle with the Malin tribe was delayed and he was furious and led his own 3,000 white-armored soldiers to rush towards the Ming army.

Even the elite soldiers of the Xuanfu army of Li Xibi of the Ming army were defeated under Nurhaci's personal charge. Li Xibi was killed by an arrow and fell off his horse while retreating.

Ma Ran and dozens of personal soldiers were trapped in the encirclement of Jin cavalry. They fought repeatedly but still failed to stand out. They were eventually dismissed due to exhaustion of the horse's physical strength.

Ma Ran, who lost his war horse, fought to the death, and was eventually outnumbered and killed by the Jin army. Before his death, he shouted to his father's camp in the west: "Don't lose my grandfather's face!"

With the Ming army defeated from the camp, the Jin army quickly seized the high ground and then attacked the Malin camp down, not giving the Ming army in the camp any time to react.

Malin finally had no experience in fighting formations and was frightened. Knowing that the Jin army had occupied the high ground, Li Ximi and his son Ma Ran were in danger. However, he was eager to love his son and made the stupidest mistake, and even let all the troops in the camp go out to rescue Li Xibi's troops who had been destroyed.

This move hit Nurhaci's thoughts, and he immediately ordered all the Eight Banners soldiers to dismount and form formation to fight the Ming army in infantry.

Dai Shan also learned from Ama to fight himself and rode his horse into the Ming army.

After the Ming army, which had already had a strong morale and had only five or six thousand people left the camp, they hurriedly fired muskets and cannons. However, the Jin army was coming very quickly. The Ming soldiers who were fluctuating in their hearts were in a hurry and the Jin army's arrows had already shot.

Soon, the Ming army that was leaving the camp was defeated by the four flag soldiers led by Daishan, Manguertai, Abatai and Tang.

At this moment, Yarhazi, who had just repelled the Ming reinforcements, led his troops back to fight. Seeing that the Ming army camp was an empty camp, he attacked directly without thinking.

At this point, the Ming army was defeated, and Ma Lin was so scared that he didn't care about another son, Ma Yi, who followed him to fight. He fled with more than a hundred personal soldiers.

The Eight Banners soldiers who had completely wiped out the headquarters of Marin quickly turned to Feifen Mountain to attack the Ming army's army. Pan Zongyan shouted and attacked, and his courage became stronger.

However, the army was affected by Du Song's headquarters being destroyed by the Sarhu camp, and the Ming army of Pan's army was also shaken. The generals and soldiers had no intention of fighting to the death, just wanted to escape quickly with their servants.

The result was that no one resisted, and the camp was called to the braided soldiers to break through.

Although Pan Zongyan was a civil servant, he never retreated and had no idea of ​​escaping. He picked up the weapons of the defeated soldiers and fought hard with the braided soldiers.

The bones and limbs rotten when they die, which is terrible.

Another Jiazigou Ming army's gneiss tribe took advantage of the time when the Jin army attacked Feifen Mountain and fled towards Sanchaer Fort. When the Jin army heard the news, the Jin army chased after the spirit cavalry. Gneiss was killed. The dead of their troops were crisscrossed, and blood flowed under the cliff of Shangjian, and the water turned red.

The Battle of Shangjianya lasted only two days, and the entire army was defeated, with more than 20,000 casualties, and only thousands of officers and soldiers fled.

The Jin army lost less than 2,000 people, so that Nurhaci laughed and said that once Du Song died, there would be no one in the Ming Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng even praised: "The ancestors did not deceive me, and the Jurchens were not satisfied with each other, and they were invincible!"

Ma Lin, who was so scared that he was so heartbroken that he fled north under the protection of his personal soldiers. He didn't know how long it took to get rid of the pursuers behind him and counted the number of people, and only thirty-seven people were guarding him.

Thinking of the defeat of the army, the whereabouts of the two sons were unknown. Ma Lin, the son of the 39-year-old famous general Ma Fang, stood in the desert in a daze, but he didn't know where to go.

Some people said they went to Dudley Aha, some said they went to Kaiyuan, and some said they directly logged wood from Sanchaer Fort and crossed the river back to Shenyang.

Just as the personal soldiers were arguing about where to protect the general, there was a sound of hooves coming from the northwest direction. Everyone thought it was the Jin army pursuers so scared that they quickly turned over and wanted to run.

Fortunately, I realized in time that the group of people did not come from Shangjianya, so I stopped the horse and waited.

"It's Yehebeile Jintaiji who came?" After looking up immediately, Malin was as excited as a drowning person being saved.

Someone quickly answered the conversation on the other side and said quickly: "I am Bu Yanggu from Yehe's tribe. How dare I ask which general from the court ahead?"

Marin shouted: "I am Kaiyuan General Malin!"

The guards were also very happy, and it was the time for Yehe's troops to come.

"It's General Ma!"

While speaking, Belebuyanggu of Yehe's troops rode his horse and saw that Malin and his subordinates were in a mess. Seeing that there were no soldiers and flags in the distance, his heart suddenly sank and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "The army was defeated?"

This is called how Marin answers, but she doesn't answer with a bitter face.

How could Bu Yanggu not see it? He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then admired Eunuch Wei for being so imaginative. It was really Zhuge Kongming's resurrection.

Later asked: "Where is the General Manager going?"

"well,"

Marin hesitated for a moment and told Buyanggu that he planned to return to Kaiyuan first and ask the Yehe tribe's troops to return with him.

After hearing this, Bu Yanggu did not follow the order. Instead, he suddenly asked: "Since the army is defeated, how can the general be more indifferent to go back!"

"What does Buyanggu mean?"

Malin was very unhappy. Even if he was in a bad mood, it was not his turn to teach him a lesson. But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ye He soldiers beside Bu Yanggu suddenly aimed at them.

"do what!"

Malin asked in surprise, Bu Yanggu did not answer, and the Ye He soldiers had already shot arrows.

After a burst of shooting, Marin became like a hedgehog, and the rest of his personal soldiers were all shot into arrows and fell to the ground.

"Buyanggu, you want to betray me, Daming, and surrender to Jianzhou?" Ma Lin died with his eyes closed and fell to the ground and pointed at Buyanggu angrily.

"I, Ye He, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty for generations, and have an irreconcilable hatred with Jianzhou. How could I surrender to Jianzhou!"

Buyanggu jumped off his horse, slowly walked to Marin, shook his head at him, and said hatefully: "The General has brought so many soldiers out, are he really fled back alone?"

"I"

Marin was ashamed and blushed and wanted to explain something to himself, but eventually died of excessive blood loss.

Looking at Malin's body, Bu Yanggu had not spoken for a long time. After a long time, he ordered his left and right to bury Malin and his personal soldiers. He also ordered the new flag to be planted here so that everyone in the Ming army could see it.
