What exactly caused the Eight Banners Group to retreat westward was delayed and did not enter Luotuling. What is important is that this situation was expected by the far-sighted Eunuch Wei.

When he met Liu Jing for the first time yesterday, he asserted that Nurhaci would never be able to return to Hei Tuala!

The facts reflect the wisdom and strategy of the God-given Eunuch Wei, who is unparalleled in the world. The 70-year-old Liu Zhen expressed his approval, and the military supervisor Kang Yinggan and others also deeply agreed.

Choi Yongshu, the commander of the brigade of the Chiang Kai-shek Division of North Korea, and his brother Choi Yongju expressed such emotion: "Your Angel, you have no choice but to be a god of the world's army!"

...........

South of Luotuling, Yang Yike, deputy general of Liaoyang, also had similar feelings, but the statement was different.

Under the supervision of the military supervisor Ma Xiangde, the Ming army on this road reversed the phenomenon of Li Rubai's delay and delaying the march, and accelerated the speed of moving towards Heituara.

During the march, he contacted Liu's troops who came from Abudaligang and found out that Liu's troops had entered Niumaoling, Abudaligang, Ma Xiangde felt even more at ease and spread the news to various troops and ordered to continue the march. Finally, he advanced to the area south of Heituara on the 10th, and set up an ambush in Xiaochagou, the important place leading to Heituara on the 11th.

In response to this, Liaoyang Deputy General Yang Yike and others expressed confusion, believing that since the army had penetrated deep into the heart of Jiannu, they would either reinforce Liu Ju's troops to fight the main force of Jiannu's decisive battle, or directly attack Heituara and completely destroy Jiannu's nest.

No matter which of the two plans is chosen, it will be beneficial to the Ming army, but the military supervisor will not choose. Instead, they will set up ambush in the small chagou, which makes the generals a little incomprehensible.

The biggest worry is that if Liu Ji's troops are not reinforced, if Liu Ji's troops are defeated by the main force of Jiannu, it will be meaningless for them to set up an ambush here. If they are not even able to do so, they will be attacked by the main force of Jiannu in the east and the Heitu Arah Jiannu in the west.

Ma Xiangde insisted on setting up an ambush in this small chagou, and swore that the main force of Jiannu in the east would definitely be defeated because the eunuch Wei Liangchen, the eunuch, had already arrived.

"With Eunuch Wei and the soldiers of the Imperial Army, Jiannu will undoubtedly be defeated! Our troops set up an ambush on the way they must retreat, and they will definitely be able to kill them!"

The generals of the military supervisor have sufficient confidence, but they have never dealt with Eunuch Wei, and they don’t know what the Imperial Army is, and they can’t be as confident as they can.

The general Du Fu of Tieling was originally Li Rubo's confidant. He did not dare to stand up for the murder of Li Rubo because he was afraid that the emperor would kill Li Rubo. But now it is related to the success or failure of the army. As the general, he has the right to make suggestions.

General Du Fu proposed that even if we really want to set up an ambush in Xiaochagou, we should send a group of troops to advance eastward to find out the reality of Abu Daligang.

However, Ma Xiangde did not listen to the opinions of Mr. Du Fu and others, and insisted on setting up an ambush in Xiaochagou. What the ambush is about is concealment, and the smaller the movement, the better. If you send troops to Abudaligang, wouldn’t it be clear that there would be Ming troops on the way back west of Jiannu?

Mr. Du Fu and the others stopped doing it, yelling that the military supervisor was blindly commanding and asking for the second-ranked figure in the army. Deputy General of Liaoyang, Yang Yike, refuted it reasonably.

At the critical moment, Yang Huan, the factory guard who claimed to be ordered to kill Li Rubai, came forward with a group of men and forcibly suppressed Du Fu Zong and others in the name of the emperor's envoy.

Mr. Du Fu and others had no choice but to follow suit.

Although Ma Xiangde was a military supervisor, he was a civil servant who only decided on the strategy but did not know how to deploy it. He knew that he was not the material for commanding the war, so he ordered the Liaoyang Deputy General Yang Yike to command with full authority.

Under the deployment of Yang Yike, the Ming army was divided into two groups to set up ambush.

All the way, led by Yang Yike, he was in charge of guerrilla You Shigong, Zhang Yingchang, and the surrendered officer of the Central Army, Li Shangren and others. He had more than 7,000 troops, 2,000 muskets and 7 cannons.

The other route was led by the Central Army's supervision team, and the generals of Tieling General Du Fu, Qian Zongmao Ma Jinzhong and other big and small generals, with 10,000 troops, more than 2,200 muskets and 5 cannons.

Yang Yike and his troops lie down in the southeast of Xiaochagou, which was the first route; ten thousand men and thousands of soldiers and his troops lie down in the northwest of Xiaochagou, which was the second route.

After the deployment was made, the generals led their troops to act.

After waiting for a day, the sound of people came from the direction of Abu Daligang in the east. The Ming army units that set up an ambush were very nervous at that time because they either had no experience in fighting with Jiannu before, or had been frightened by Jiannu and ran away in a panic.

Especially the guerrilla You Shigong who made meritorious service. When Li Rubai was in his military camp was shocked by more than a dozen Jiannu's probation, which led to chaos in the entire army.

Afterwards, hundreds of people died of trampling on his own people, which made You Shigong lose all his face. He was a defeated general and went from Zhang Chengyin to support Fushun. As a result, Zhang Chengyin was killed and he was resigned and took office. If Yang Hao had not activated him, he would have been in Shenyang prison and was still in charge.

Therefore, after the embarrassing incident, You Shigong thought that Li Rubai would definitely use him to kill the chicken for the monkey, but who would have thought that Li Rubai was killed by someone sent by the emperor.

The military supervisor who was in charge of Lu Rubai's command gave him another chance to make meritorious contributions. If he had been the same as before, Wen Nu would be defeated. The dignified seven-foot man would be shameless.

Therefore, You Shigong took out all the money received by the Wu Jingzhang when he went out of the army, and his morale could naturally be restored after the heavy reward.

The other generals of each division also used a reward move and declared with their subordinates that Jiannu was a defeated soldier, so there was no need to be afraid.

With all this in mind, the Ming army officers and soldiers were able to prepare for ambush after being supervised by the military supervisor Ma Xiangde personally supervised the battle on the front line.

Jiannu came indeed. There were a large group of cavalry in front and a large group of infantry in the back. From a distance, it was probably more than ten miles away.

There are all kinds of banners, and when it is still far away, it seems that people are rushing towards you, dust is flying, as if you are coming to kill you.

As they got closer, the generals and old soldiers of the Ming army could tell at a glance that Jiannu was indeed defeated, because they did not even scatter the horses on the outposts, both the cavalry and the infantry were rushing wildly, and the marching line was noisy as if they were going to the market.

"Start a fire!"

With Yang Yike's order, the first ambush of the Ming army immediately sounded cannons and guns.

The Eight Banners soldiers who were exhausted from retreating to the capital were inadvertently set up an ambush in Xiaochagou and were stunned at the beginning.

Zhang Yingchang, the guerrilla You Shigong succeeded in the ambush, and the braided soldiers were in chaos and took advantage of the situation to fight out. The braided soldiers were killed and abandoned their armor and fled everywhere.

Seeing that he was buried, his side was in chaos again. Dai Shan, who was commanding the Eight Banners with the support of his uncle Yarhazi, urgently ordered the troops in front to block the Ming army at any cost.

Amin and Mangurtai also personally led the dead soldiers in armor to fight back. With the counterattack of the Eight Banners soldiers who came back to their senses, the ambushed Ming army was weaker than fighting and had to retreat, and only shot the Eight Banners soldiers with muskets and bows.

Seeing that the Ming army was not strong enough, Amin and Manguertai wanted to lead troops to disperse the Ming army, but Dai Shan was afraid that if he was delayed here for a long time, he would be caught up by the Wei Yin army and Liu Jing army behind him. He was also afraid that the Ming army would have a backup plan, so he urgently ordered the two brothers not to get involved with the Ming army and quickly rectified their troops and rushed through Xiaochagou.

Amin and Mangourtai did not dare to delay, so they led their banner soldiers to leave the Ming army, but were soon ambushed by another Ming army.

Unfortunately, although the Ming army had more troops than the first ambush, the soldiers were not as good as the combat effectiveness, which led to not only not being able to create slaves, but also causing Jiannu to destroy several units.

Finally, after leaving behind three or four thousand bodies, Dai Shan commanded the Eight Banners soldiers who retreated west to rush across Xiaochagou and headed west.

At this time, the fateful Hannuerhaci was awake, but he was hit by a stroke, causing his mouth to rise and become crooked.

In the ditch, seeing the large group of braided soldiers rushing through his own nose, Ma Xiangde could only stomp his feet. In addition to complaining that the court had put together the troops for Li Rubai, the troops could only complain that God did not give him two more days.

In this way, he could dig the road of this small trench like the Emperor's personal army!

Yang Yike, Zhang Yingchang, Wan Renying and other generals also felt a pity, but there was no way to remedy it at this point. They could only watch almost 20,000 braided soldiers running through Xiaochagou.

.............

At Luotuling more than thirty miles away, Xu Xianchun looked at more than a dozen Jiannu who came from Heituara and turned over and got off the horse. Then the two of them began to search for nearby mountains and forests.

Perhaps because the Jiannu army that Heituala had driven out before was raided by the Ming army and Yehe troops and joined forces to wipe out all the annihilation, this time the Jiannu of Heituala was obviously smart.

However, Xu Xianchun didn't care whether Jiannu became smart. The more cautious the other party was, the more it meant that Heituala did not have many Eight Banners soldiers. Otherwise, why should he be so cautious?

Because he had been lying down for a long time, Xu Xianchun's mouth was a little thirsty, but he just licked his thirsty lips and did not take the water bag tied around his waist.

Around him, hundreds of hidden Ming soldiers were motionless like their commanders. From the sky, this piece was completely grassland and there was no one at all.

All the Ming soldiers had camouflage clothes woven by branches and green grass.

After searching for nearby Jiannu's horses in the distance, they did not find it, and then they came out of the forest to continue to get on the horses. As the horses explored continued to advance, a Jiannu cavalry with about two thousand people appeared in the Ming army's sight.

This Jiannu cavalry was followed by a long team, but it was a grain transport team composed of Han Aha.

Judging from the banner, this cavalry is the Zhengbai Banner of the Eight Banners of Jiannu. The banner owner is Nurhaci's eldest son, Jueying, but it is not Jueying who commands this cavalry, but Jueluo and Jialaezhen Shuobiji.

Shuobiji's father was Murhazi, the half-brother of Nurhaci.

After almost all the Aisin Gioro children went to war with the eldest daughter of Bernorhaci, Shuo Biji became the second largest royal family figure in Heituara City after Prince Qiying.
