After breaking through the ambush circle deployed by the Ming army supervisor Ma Xiangde and the Liaoyang deputy general Yang Yike, the Eight Banners soldiers retreated to the Luotuling defense line without any accident.

Luotu Ridge, an inconspicuous low hill near Heitu Ala, even its name seems so casual, but the Eight Banners Army did not expect that this small Luotu Ridge became a wall that blocked their "returning home".

Under the command and deployment of Xu Xianchun, and with the assistance of the Civil Engineering Department, which once set a record of earthwork in Kuantian, and with the desperate work of the North Korean military servants who had personally experienced the battle of the Sanlipu meat grinder, a civil defense line about four miles long and one and a half miles wide was completed in just three days.

However, since the Luotuling area is not completely soil and many areas are rocks and woods, this defense line has many shortcomings compared to the Sanlipu big gap defense line. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the defense line, the supervisor Zhou Tiexin ordered all units to cut down large trees to fill it up and build more traps.

The forests in front of the Ming army's gunmen assembly area were also cut down, making the firing area of ​​the muskets wider and denser.

Because the only particulate gunpowder was consumed in the previous battle, the Ming army was unable to bury explosives outside the defense line.

But overall, both the Ming army and the Yehe tribe were confident in defending Luotu Ridge. After all, the change of flags from Heituara gave the Ming army and the Yehe tribe extremely confident. They firmly believed that as long as the Eight Banners in the west could be blocked from the east side of Luotu Ridge, the battle to pacify the slaves would soon end.

The battle started at noon on March 12th. At that time, Yehe's troops discovered the Eight Banners soldiers who were retreating from Xiaochagou.

Seeing the Eight Banners soldiers in a mess and their men and horses were thrown away, they were obviously hit by another Ming army, which made Xu Xianchun, Wang Xuan and others who were commanding the battle more confident.

On the Jin army, after discovering that Luotuling was occupied by the Ming army, the road leading to Heituara was dug by the Ming army, and some undigged places were blocked by trees and stones, the Eight Banners felt a crisis.

Nurhaci, who had a stroke, pointed at Luotuling and then. He wanted to say something, but the sound was difficult to make due to the stroke.

Daishan knew what Ama meant, and they had no way out. If they could not cross Luotu Ridge, they would have no way out.

In order to survive, the exhausted and hungry braided soldiers, under the command of the officer, pressed on Luotuling with their flags.

The defenders composed of Xu Xianchun's army, Baoding general Wang Xuan's army, the general Gong Niansui army, the capital Zhou Fengmin army, and Ye Hebuyanggu unit rose up to fight back and took advantage of the commanding heights and defense lines to strangle with the Eight Banners soldiers.

The Eight Banners soldiers fought bloody battles for half a day, but they still could not break through the Ming army's defense line, so they could only call the gold to withdraw their troops.

At this time, the upper classes of the Eight Banners had begun to spread defeatist sentiment, because the loss of Luotuling conveyed an extremely pessimistic and extremely desperate news, that is, their capital Heituara was likely to have fallen, otherwise the Ming army would not have set up defense lines in Luotuling so openly.

Fei Yingdong even privately said that the Great Belle-Qing Ying was likely to surrender to the enemy. The simplest fact - if Hei Tuala was still in the hands of Dajin, then the Great Belle-Qing Ying would not have sent troops to attack the rear of the Ming army.

Thinking of the two letters and words that Wei Yin once left to Chu Ying, he couldn't help but wonder that Chu Ying might have had an affair with the Ming army.

That night, a team of Eight Banners soldiers who escaped from Abudaligang confirmed the fact that the Great Beile conquered Ying's enemy.

After seeing the secret covenant copy with his eldest brother's private seal, Dai Shan was furious and gave the secret covenant to his Ama.

As a result, after reading the secret contract text, Tianming Han fainted again. After waking up, the stroke symptoms became more obvious.

This made Abatai, who had always been close to his elder brother, scolded him so much that he was deliberately trying to stimulate Ama, and said that who knows whether this so-called secret agreement was true? What if it was Wei Yin's trick, the purpose was to make Ama and his elder brother suspicious of each other?

The tenth prince degele didn't believe that the eldest brother Fengying met the enemy, and together with Abatai, accused the second brother Daishan.

The other princes didn't know what to do, so they stood stupidly. In the end, Yarhazi showed off his uncle's majesty and suppressed Abatai and Degele, and then told everyone that no matter whether the eldest prince colluded with the enemy, they must fight Luotuling at the moment, otherwise once the Ming army behind them catch up, they will be wiped out.

In the face of the biggest crisis, Abatai and others also realized that there was no point in quarrel with Daishan now. That night, the Ming army did not launch an attack on the Eight Banners soldiers who did not even live in tents, and the hungry and tired Eight Banners soldiers did not organize a night attack.

Both sides are accumulating strength.

The next day, Yarhazi, Mangurtai, Abatai and Amin, the three major belles organized flag soldiers to charge four times, and after suffering major casualties, there was no progress.

In the afternoon, when Ming soldiers had already appeared in the rear, Daishan had to organize an offensive again.

This time, the attack team consisted of the withdrawn red-armored soldiers and white-armored soldiers, which can be regarded as the last family fortune that the Eight Banners Army can barely fight.

Three or four thousand braided soldiers in double armor continued to charge towards Luotuling in a dense formation.

Daishan, Yarhazi, Fei Yingdong and others personally took Goshha to supervise the battle. All the arrows and weapons that each flag could collect were used.

Under the fierce attack of the Jin army with human life and sea of ​​people, two holes were broken through the defense line of the Ming army. The braided soldiers once attacked the ridge, but the Ming army did not retreat!

Xu Xianchun and Yehebeibuyanggu's son Yaerhu personally led a 400 suicide squad to fight back against the Braided Soldiers. Baoding General Wang Xuan also led people to pick him up from the side. The brave Ming army and Yehebing and Braided Soldiers fought in close combat.

Many Ming army musketeers had no time to recharge gunpowder, so they simply threw the gun at the enemy as soon as they threw it. Some Ming army burned by the fire were whirring fire smoke, but they did not roll on and put out the fire, but hugged the braided soldiers for fear of their lives, so that the fire on their bodies would burn the enemy to death.

Although the army supervisor Zhou Tiexin could not kill the enemy, he stood on a high place with the flag of the former general Du Song.

Under the death battle of the Ming army, until the evening, the braided soldiers paid a major price of more than 1,600 casualties, but they still could not cross the Tuling Mountains.

They had to retreat because many of them fell to the ground, not because of injuries, but because of hunger.

They no longer have the strength.

Fei Yingdong, the first-class minister who was known as the "enemy of ten thousand people", was killed in battle. He was stoned by a Ye He soldier. And that Ye He soldier was also dead. He didn't know that the one who killed Jiannu with one blow before his death was the great figure of Jiannu.

On Luotu Ridge, all the trees were burning. The fire burned the soil hard, and the hard ground was red. It was stained with blood.

After the Jin army retreated, Zhou Tiexin looked at the corpses all over the mountains and fields and couldn't help but cry.

Too miserable.

At first glance, there were dead bodies everywhere.

The battle between Ming and Jin sides was too fierce, and even a few corpses could be piled up on a stone.
