Chapter 261 Don't be ashamed of Qi Shaobao

The decision made by King Khan, Li Yongfang and Fan Wencheng, two Han people who had just defected, dared not object to it.

Li Yongfang personally went to the Lianghuang Banner to pass the imperial examination. In order to show his loyalty to the Jin Dynasty, he ordered the former Fushun Ming army, who had surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, to join the war with the Lianghuang Banners, and vowed to take down the Korean army in one fell swoop.

There were more than 2,000 Ming army in Fushun that surrendered with Li Yongfang. Later, Li Yongfang successively surrendered thousands of Ming army prisoners, resulting in nearly 7,000 Han troops under his command.

For these Han soldiers, Nurhaci still set up officials of all sizes and sizes according to the Ming system and handed over to Li Yongfang's jurisdiction. In order to appease the hearts of these Han soldiers, they did not divide their father and son, brothers, and did not separate their husbands and wife according to the Eight Banners system. In addition, they followed Li Yongfang's opinions to give horses, cows, clothes, and food, which stabilized the Ming Dynasty's surrendered troops in the short term.

However, these more than 7,000 people did not go to the battle with Li Yongfang, but only more than 3,000 people came, and the rest were controlled by Prince Qianying, Heituaragui.

It seems that the upper class of the Eight Banners was still vigilant against the Han army, so the father left his son and the younger brother left his brother.

The master of the Inlaid Blue Banner, the fourth brother of Nurhaci, and the first-class minister Fei Yingdong rushed to Shaling after learning the Khan's military order. Both of them were also suspicious of the situation at this time, believing that the main force of the Eight Banners was not right and the troops of Liu Ju, who had lost the ability to continue to advance to Heituara, were killed in Abudali.

"I heard that Li Rubai's troops were advancing here, and there was no news from Huerhan, and Ye He took advantage of the situation behind him. The Eight Banners soldiers fought hard for days and were already at the end of their strength. If they could not defeat the enemy, I might give the Ming army an opportunity to take advantage of..." Yarhazi was a staunch supporter of his elder brother Nurhaci. It was he who told his elder brother Shurhazi that he had evil intentions.

Yarhazi never objected to his elder brother's decision, but this time he was really hesitant.

Since attacking Niumaoling, although Liu Ji's troops have always been at a disadvantage, and it seems that they will be broken at any time, but each flag lost thousands of people and did not see any flag successfully breaking through. If this continues, let alone the unstable rear areas, the losses of each flag are unacceptable. The wise move at the moment is to withdraw troops and withdraw Heituara, and solve the two puppies of Yehe's troops, so that the Eight Banners can breathe.

Fei Yingdong also had this opinion roughly, but further proposed that he must be prepared for the defeat of Huerhan, because he had just received a piece of news that he didn't know whether it was true.

In ancient times, several Korean prisoners were captured there. According to these prisoners, their king signed a treaty with the Ming Kingdom to help Ming quell the rebellion. The Korean army did not cross the river alone into Jianzhou, but crossed the river with the same Ming army.

This news made a ray of light shoot out from Nurhaci's eyes and said in a low voice: "Can we know which troops from the Ming Dynasty are?"

Fei Yingdong hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the Imperial Army."

"Imperial Army?"

Nurhaci's expression changed. He knew which army of the Imperial Army was from the Ming Dynasty. The thing that worried him the most finally happened. The damn Wei Yin came back from Japan.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the Imperial Army?" First-time guard Bailan asked Fei Yingdong next to him.

"Twenty or three thousand people."

The Korean prisoners didn't know how many troops there were in the Ming army that claimed to be the "Imperial Army". At that time, in order to survive, they casually yelled that it was 100,000 people. Fei Yingdong obviously didn't believe it. He asked the prisoners in detail what they saw along the way and initially concluded that the Ming army brought back by Wei Yin through North Korea might be 20,000 to 30,000.

But even 20,000 to 30,000 people are enough to affect the direction and outcome of the war.

Yarhazi looked worried: "Brother, if there is such a Ming army near us, I am afraid that Huerhan will be in trouble."

Fei Yingdong also said: "Although I have never dealt with Wei Yin, this person is very cunning. Last year, I asked some generals of the Zhengbai Banner. At that time, Wei Yin used a partial master to lure the third prince into his ambush circle, thus annihilation of our white flag... Now it seems that Liu Jing from Niumaoling may not be the bait of Wei Yin. I am worried that Wei Yin is waiting for the main force of our Eight Banners to be exhausted, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Yarhazi was even more frightened and hurriedly said, "Brother, let's retreat first. Liu Jing is already a remnant army. Although the Wei eunuchs have 20,000 or 30,000, he is afraid that he will not dare to pursue our army."

"No! If you retreat now, all your previous efforts will be wasted!"

Nurhaci took away without any intention and said to his younger brother and Fei Yingdong: "Do you remember that Wei Yan once sent me a letter."

"I only know about this." Fei Yingdong nodded.

"What is it said in the letter?" This was the first time Yarhazi heard about it.

"There is no other word in the letter, just one word, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road!"

After Nurhaci said this, he walked out of the big tent, "This sentence is good. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. My Khan has decided to capture Niumaoling and kill Liu Jing. My Eight Banners will be nailed here. Let's see if Wei Yi dares to avenge Liu Jing!"

.........

Broken River Valley.

The Zhejiang Army, which was supported by the Jinzhou Army, formed two formations under the command of Zhou Yiming, and carefully retreated to the direction of the camp with the Jinzhou Army.

But the retreat was not easy, and Jin Zheng and Hongqi continued to attack with small groups of cavalry, which made the Ming army exhausted.

The Zhejiang soldiers and the Jinzhou soldiers were both infantrymen and had no cavalry. Except for the chariots carried by the army, everyone walked with their feet, which undoubtedly made retreat more difficult.

During the Shen period, thousands of Jin army cavalry suddenly attacked the Ming army. Although the Zhejiang soldiers and Jinzhou soldiers fought back, they were still chasing the Jin army.

During the melee, Jiang Yi, the Thousand General of the Zhejiang Army, Zhou Dasheng, the Supervisor, and Liu Xingzhou, the Banner-holder, died.

A large number of Zhejiang Army defeated soldiers gathered towards Jinzhou soldiers who were still intact with the formation of chariots. The Jinzhou guerrilla Shang Xueli had handed over the command power to his eldest son Shang Kejin and his second son Shang Kexi. However, seeing that the Zhejiang Army defeated soldiers were everywhere, the Eight Banners Cavalry were slashing and slashing everywhere, and they were so anxious that they didn't know what to do.

"Father, you can't let them storm our side!"

Shang Kejin shouted loudly to ask the defeated soldiers to retreat to both sides, but as more and more defeated soldiers, the defeated soldiers began to rush towards the Jinzhou soldiers. The shouting did not work at all. Those defeated soldiers who only care about survival had lost their minds in the face of the pursuit of the Braided Cavalry.

"Second, kill me!"

Even if Shang Xueli was unwilling to attack friendly troops, he had no choice at this time. Shang Kexi, who received the order from his elder brother, immediately waved his big sword with his father's soldiers and cut over the two defeated soldiers. The Jinzhou soldiers in the chariot formation also fired muskets towards the defeated soldiers in front.

Amid the "bang bang", dozens of Zhejiang soldiers were knocked to the ground and moaned in pain.

Seeing that the Jinzhou soldiers dared to shoot and kill their own people, a fleeing man in the Zhejiang Army was furious and rushed out of the crowd, pointing at Shang Kejin on the big cart and scolding: "Don't you Liao people give us Zhejiang soldiers a way out!"

"It's your own way of living, it's up to you!"
