Brother Zhu Youxiao

"Boom bang bang!!!"

On the afternoon of March [-]th, accompanied by the continuous sound of dull artillery, something unexpected happened to the Jin army.

On the low hill at the inflection point of the northern river valley, six hundred cannons suddenly appeared, together with the panting Ten Thousand Ming Army.

They launched a bombardment on the Jin army and the women and children of the Jin country, and beside them were tens of thousands of tired horses and draft horses that were so tired that they kept breathing white mist.

It's just that all the exhaustion and fatigue were worth it. When the artillery fired, the stone bullets fiercely bombarded the Jin army and the women and children of the Jin country with their complaints.

With a piercing whistling, the stone bullet hit the unprepared Jin army and the women and children of the Jin country.

The most terrifying thing about the stone bullet is not that it knocks people into the air and shatters them after hitting them, but that it falls on the ground and turns into a ricochet that keeps bouncing off.

Just those few ejections were enough to seriously injure several people, not to mention that it was on the plain, but now it is in the river valley.

30 people, including the Lianglan Banners, the Fourth Battalion of the Han Dynasty, and the women and children of the Kingdom of Jin, crowded into the river valley less than six miles away, so densely packed that Ming army gunners could kill several people even if they were blindfolded.

Originally, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji thought that the cavalry of the Ming army would attack women and children and make them disturb the rear army, so they gathered women and children behind the front army and before the middle army, leaving enough room for the middle army and the rear army to retreat, but the Ming army After the artillery appeared, the shortcomings of such agglomeration were exposed.

However, although he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, he actually has his own thoughts, and he is also the military general with the highest official position among the first batch of generals in Yanshan officials.

Giving Li Yongfang a high position and promising not to slaughter Fushun is also pretending to be kind to other generals and people in Liao Town.

What's more, I don't know how the battle in the south is going. If the 10,000+ Ming army in the south breaks through all the cities and goes north to pursue them, they will be chased by the same number of cavalry. It is impossible for horse infantry to outrun the cavalry.

So under the guarantee of Liu Aita, the two brothers Fan Wencheng and Fan Wencai led the troops to the women and children to calm people's hearts.

Zuo Ling's words made Liu Aita silent, so he was not one of the people who was deceived by Nurhachi.

"All units be alert, march slowly, listen to my whistle and shoot arrows!"

They messed around together, and when Li Chengliang died of illness, the Ming court and the Liaodong army and civilians were already divorced. The people of Liaodong would rather take refuge in the Mongols and Jurchens than live under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Aita has served Nurhachi for 25 years, from the age of 24 to the current age of 49, and her loyalty is self-evident.

"Fight and fight! Both blue flags keep up, obey my military order and march!"

Just facing them, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew were as stable as Mount Tai. Before they could give orders, the rangers in the north of the hill quickly gathered, and more than [-] cavalrymen pulled out their blunderbusses one after another.

Huang Taiji cursed secretly, but calmed down quickly.

"Beep--"

Liu Aita knew in his heart that although he felt that Huang Taiji would not succeed in breaking through this time, he was still quite afraid of Huang Taiji's strategy.

Although Dorgon couldn't see clearly, in his eyes, the vague actions of the Ming army could only be one thing.

Obviously, the throwing of the two white flags this round was a few breaths early.

Zuo Ling, who was a little older on his left, smiled: "Naturally, I have attracted many people who were deceived by the old slave..."

With this acceleration, they soon caught up with the women and children in front, and at the same time, the artillery positions of the Ming army on the hills fired again.

In the Jin army formation, Abatai, who was caught off guard by the shelling, cursed angrily, and turned his head to look at the 28 women and children behind him.

Thinking of this, he scratched his beard under his chin in embarrassment, while Cao Bianjiao looked at the Jinjun women and children.

"Is there another way?" Mangurtai didn't talk nonsense.

"Khan, what do we do now?"

"Your perception is very sensitive..."

Li Yangeng has a good appearance, his eyebrows and eyes are not the same as Li Yongfang, maybe he inherited his mother's appearance.

"Why did the Ming army appear here?! How come there are so many artillery pieces?!"

If he remembered correctly, Liu Bian was the first batch of graduates of Yanshan Military Academy in the fifth year of Tianqi, one period earlier than Li Zicheng and the others.

"You also think it's unbelievable, right? I think so too." Cao Wenzhao didn't take it seriously in his heart, and said in a tone that he wanted to help Shen Cewei clean up the mess.

The Jin army whistled twice to advance, and when the news was conveyed, all the bulls blew their wooden whistles one after another, and the horse infantry under their command also began to shake the reins, driving their horses forward to approach the Ming army cavalry.

The panic of 28 people turned the original retreat into a stampede. If it hadn't been for Fan Wencheng who led the troops to retreat, tens of thousands of women and children would have died in the stampede.

"The Shence Guard Commander Liu Bian said that he followed His Highness's order and took 1000 people to station in Balibao."

These behaviors of Nurhachi do not seem to be commendable, but they are more expensive than goods, and people are more dead than others.

"Six people were seriously injured. It is estimated that they will not survive. Right now there are 690 brothers in the camp."

"Uncle, these cannons are..." Cao Bianjiao looked at the six hundred cannons in astonishment, and Cao Bianjiao said with a smile:

A round of shelling by the Ming army caused thousands of people to be seriously injured and dying, not including some people who were trampled to death.

Dorgon issued a military order and blew the wooden whistle. Next to him, Duo Duo commanded the messenger horse to run back and forth, passing the news to Niulu Ezhen of each Niulu.

Generally speaking, he can also be regarded as one of Zhu Youjian's direct descendants, although he has a long friendship with Yanshan.

"Beep--"

Not only did the rain of arrows not hurt the cavalry of the Ming army, but it was still thirty steps away from the cavalry of the Ming army.

"Um……"

In the middle period, Li Chengliang was dismissed, but Wanli collected mining taxes and sent Gao Huai to Liaodong, so that all the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong were exploited by Gao Huai, and the frontier army mutinied.

In order to let Huang Taiji and others not doubt him, he lost his old nose power along the way, and even broke off a third of the soldiers and horses to protect the women and children of the Jin Kingdom. At present, there are only more than [-] soldiers.

"Beep--"

Without the encumbrance of women and children, their breakthrough speed will be doubled.

Everyone drew their bows and arrows, and the heavy arrows used for armor-piercing in the gloomy Beishan environment made the scalps of those who saw them numb, and they couldn't imagine what the result of being shot by this arrow would be.

As Zuo Ling spoke, Liu Aita was overjoyed.

While commenting on Fan Wencheng's seriousness in being a dog, he broke the pancakes into small pieces and threw them into the bowl.

It’s just that in retrospect, the earliest Han Chinese who defected to Nurhachi was actually Liu Aita.

His actions made Li Yongfang's second son Li Sutai very dissatisfied: "What..."

Facing the distance of a mile and a half, Dorgon gave the order calmly, while whistles and flags began to sound and wave.

"There are two, but they are narrower, and they are all guarded by stone forts." After Niu Luerzhen finished speaking, Mang Gurtai knew that he might have to wipe out the thousand Ming troops before he could successfully break through.

Liu Aita also saw the tragic situation of the Han people, so she was uneasy and worried and angry.

Like him, there are many people who realize that Nurhachi is not so kind, and Li Yangeng, the eldest son of Li Yongfang, a big traitor, is one of them.

The ear-piercing wooden whistle rang three times in a row, and the cavalry of the Ming army who heard the sound reined in one after another.

"Beep--"

"Don't panic! The former army goes out of the valley first, don't worry!"

After the defeat of the Ming Jin Liaodong War and the victory of the Ming Dynasty in the Liaodong campaign, Nurhachi began to intensify the exploitation and rule of the Han people.

The melted snow made the ground very muddy, and the horse infantry led by the two white flags rushed towards the Ming army on the high hills two miles away, holding bows and arrows.

"Of course I didn't bring it from the north. When I went south and approached this place a hundred miles away, I summoned the artillery from all the stone castles to bring it down."

"uncle!"

"put!"

"This idiot..."

When Cao Wenzhao spoke, Cao Bianjiao responded.

With only [-] men, it would be somewhat wishful thinking to cause fatal damage to the Jianlu army, but with the addition of Li Yangeng's soldiers and horses, there is a lot to do.

"It was Cao Wenzhao who brought people here, with a scale of about [-] and five or six hundred cannons!"

In the late period, Li Chengliang rose again, and the Liaodong cavalry, whose military discipline had been corrupted, made a comeback.

"Okay, Li Ezuo and I are in the former army, don't worry!"

"Beep-"

Can he not know Mangurtai's thoughts?This fellow dislikes being burdened by women and children, so he uses the name of being the first to break out of the siege to protect himself.

The dense rain of arrows came in a round, but all of them sank into the ground, leaving an "arrow field" on the hills of Beishan.

When he took refuge in Nurhachi, Nurhachi pretended to be merciful, saying that he was a family with the people of Liaodong, and he couldn't see Gaohuai's deeds in the pass.

As he spoke, both the central army and the rear army could not help speeding up.

"Just want to build fortifications to defend Balibao with 1000 people?" Cao Bianjiao frowned.

"Okay, keep a low profile. Now the army thinks that we have betrayed the news to the Ming army."

He had seen Liu Bian before. He was 27 or [-] years old, five feet five inches tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face and a wide nose. He looked like a proper warrior.

Naturally, being beaten blindly is not in line with Huang Taiji's style, so after seeing the women, children and soldiers in front of him being shelled, he immediately covered his nose and shouted:

Under his command, tens of thousands of gold troops with two blue flags flitted towards the stone fort. Even if the Ming army at the top of the city knocked down dozens of people with rifles, they remained unmoved.

But when they mobilized their troops, Liu Aita saluted Li Yongfang and left without saying anything.

"Li Yangeng has a thousand troops under his command, and he will respond to you at critical moments."

He had to protect himself until the most critical moment, and then injure Jin Jun enough thoroughly with one knife.

Liu Aita spoke at a critical moment, which made Fan Wencheng feel at ease.

"Did uncle leave an ambush at the Eight Mile Fort ahead?"

"Looking at their posture, it is estimated that they will build fortifications in front of them to trap the prisoners."

"The whole army retreats ten steps!"

Ji Erhalang, who has been following Huang Taiji around, asked, but Huang Taiji now has only one way to go.

He knew very well that if the artillery in the stone castle cooled down, they would have to pay a lot of casualties.

"Dorgon! Duoduo! Take two soldiers and horses with white flags to harass the artillery of the Ming army!"

"How many casualties did our army have in the shelling just now?"

"Let's take a look first. When that kid can't hold it, you and I will send troops to intercept Jianlu."

The soldiers of the two blue flags didn't know why, so they could only follow, but the four generals of the Fourth Han Battalion in the rear sensed Mang Gurtai's thoughts.

The entire army was killed and wounded in an instant by half-adult horses, which was a great blow to morale. Mang Gurtai didn't want to sit still, he wanted to lead people across the double-team of the Ming army's stone castle, and then go to harass the stone castle and those who had just arrived on the battlefield. Ming army.

When Huang Taiji's banner appeared, Cao Wenzhao, who was eating batter, stood up quickly, but Cao Bianjiao, who had been monitoring Huang Taiji for two days, sat very calmly, holding a roasted sweet potato in his hand.

As long as he successfully breaks through with two blue flags, what happens in the rear has nothing to do with him.

After the sound of the cannon, Cao Bianjiao got off his horse and came over. When Cao Wenzhao saw his nephew, he immediately smiled: "Here?"

They chose the position on the hills, and when Cao Bianjiao came, he was a little surprised to see the [-] cannons, but before he got off his horse, the [-] cannons fired at once...

Even if other people saw their conversation, they might just think that the three of them were discussing how to break through.

For a moment, he only felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier and the pressure on his heart was even greater.

While they were talking, Huang Taiji of the Chinese Army finally learned the news that Cao Wenzhao led artillery and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the battlefield through Tangqi.

Cao Bianjiao looked at the speed of the women and children and thought of the situation ahead, but Cao Wenzhao shook his head:

But who would have thought that Nurhachi's kindness is all hypocrisy.

The muffled sound of cannons rang out, and the flying stone bullets slammed into the formation of women and children of the Golden Army who were fleeing for their lives, flying flesh and blood.

Manggurtai is not worried about the Ming army, because they don't like fighting, what they want is to break through.

"In order to transport them in time, many draft horses were exhausted. If this battle is not well fought, I'm afraid they will be complained by the horse supervisor."

Although Cao Bianjiao did not continue to echo after hearing this, his expression seemed to indicate that he was not optimistic about Liu Bian, the Commander of the Shence Guard.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but soon, the Mongolian sentry rider released in front returned to the formation, and came to Mangurtai with the news from the front:
"Lord Baylor, there are a thousand Ming troops stationed outside the stone castle under the banner of Shence."

As a result of the confrontation between the horse infantry and the cavalry, the Ming army on the artillery position successfully cleared their guns and successfully put in the propellant.

Daming lost people's hearts in Liaodong, but Nurhachi was buying people's hearts, and there were many Han people who took refuge in him.

Huang Taiji wanted to get rid of women and children in a reasonable way, but he didn't want to bear the infamy. In addition, the Fourth Han Battalion and the Two Blue Banners were full of instability, so they were placed in the front army. Nearly [-] soldiers and horses of the army broke through and fled.

"Huang Taiji is here!"

"Beep--"

"Yes!" Dorgon and Duoduo, who were full of anger, turned their horses when they heard the words, and the two white flags of more than 6000 people in the general rallied to kill the artillery positions of Cao Wenzhao and others.

Beginning in the Wanli period, the Liaodong iron cavalry of the Li family's army were good at robbing the women of the people, cutting off the heads of the Liao people at every turn, and robbing the people's wealth.

Fan Wencheng immediately sensed Mangurtai's thoughts. In order not to let the 28 women and children feel that they were abandoned, Fan Wencheng was eager to lead people to serve as the Chinese army for the women and children, so as to give them a sense of security and prevent them from fleeing and affecting The main force of the Golden Army in the rear.

Maybe it was because of being too nervous, the nosebleed that had been stopped with great difficulty, now flowed out again.

When the former army was in turmoil and women and children were defeated, many people could abandon their wives and children in order to survive.

When Tang Qi finished reporting the situation ahead, Huang Taiji's face was ugly.

"Beep--"

Compared to a team of [-] people, a dozen or so people are really insignificant.

Due to the wide spread of the team and the noise of 10,000+ people in the rear, there was probably no one else in their radius, so they were able to speak boldly.

In the gradually approaching distance, Dorgon blew a wooden whistle.

Even if Huang Taiji led 28 women and children and the rest of the 5-odd army were all wiped out, he could make a comeback with his 8000-odd horse infantry.

He knew in his heart that if he took action right now, at most the front army of the Jin army, that is, the more than [-] people from Manggurtai, would be wiped out. Not good, they can get on their horses and run away.

He looked at the artillery positions of the Ming army. He was still four hundred steps away from there, and there were less than two thousand cavalry troops in the middle.

All of a sudden, all the soldiers and horses of the two white flags stationed one after another, put back their riding bows, and replaced them with infantry bows.

Compared with the Jin army who was beaten by stone bullets, the generals of the Ming army seemed to be on vacation.

"Just walk through..."

"The two generals led people to sit among the women and children and stabilized the situation, but the Ming army's artillery was still ringing, and every round of shelling caused heavy casualties to our army."

Facts have proved that Dorgon's battlefield experience is still too little. He ordered the horses to change the bows too early, so he gave the Ming cavalry a great distance to rein in their horses.

He gritted his teeth and tightened the reins: "Continue to break through!"

"Boom bang bang-"

For Jin Jun, the function of arrows at this moment is not to kill the enemy face-to-face, but to shoot horses!

At a distance of thirty steps, only a few breaths later, the Ming army cavalry could rush through condescendingly, so this scene made all the Ming army cavalry feel lucky, and at the same time, Dorgon felt that his face was dull.

"Can you pass?"

The strength of the two sides has reached three to six. It seems that the Jin army is twice as large as the Ming army, but now that the Ming army occupies the right place and the right time, the Jin army can't even get the last man together.

He glanced at Li Yangeng, and then whispered to the assistants on his left and right:
"Besides me, who else did you win over?"

With Liu Aita supervising Li Yongfang, no matter what Li Yongfang wants to do, it will be difficult to succeed.

After Abatai got the news, he immediately rushed forward to notify Mangurtai:

"Zhuma, change the bow!"

The whistling sound of the stone bullets piercing through the air made Huang Taiji's scalp tingle, and he subconsciously helped his waist.

The real fatal thing was the artillery brought by Cao Wenzhao. The test firing of [-] artillery pieces was aimed at the two blue flags, so countless people fell off their horses, and hundreds of people were killed or injured.

Niu Luezhen, who commanded the sentinel cavalry, replied: "Ahead is a valley pass, only 150 paces wide, and the stone fortress and the Ming army camp occupy [-] paces. I'm afraid we must break through by force..."

Thinking of this, Liu Aita looked around, then narrowed her eyes: "It's not the time yet..."

He also knew very well that if he did not break through as soon as possible, there would be more Ming troops gathered here.

While he was answering Li Yongfang, he couldn't help looking at the back of Liu Aita who was leaving, and Liu Aita turned her head as if feeling something.

"Bring the news to the Chinese army, tell them to be careful, and also inform the whole army, women and children, and retreat as soon as possible!" Mang Gurtai ordered calmly in the face of danger, and Abatai immediately sent sentry cavalry to inform Huang Taiji and the others.

When he noticed an uncontrolled warm current in his nose, Huang Taiji skillfully cut his gown and covered his nose, and his actions made Jin Jun even more uneasy.

"I'm afraid not……"

The whistle of the sentry cavalry sounded, and Mang Gurtai led his people to flee north in a hurry, and at the same time, the sentry cavalry also led people to pass the news to Abate.

Beside him, several thousand households also held sweet potatoes and wooden bowls with tea sprinkled with coarse tea.

They were as motionless as a mountain at the moment, and they all raised their riding guns in their hands. It seemed that the Jin army would not take the initiative to launch an attack if they did not move or retract their walking bows.

Although it is low and high, but fortunately, the height of the hills on this journey is not the kind of hills that are suddenly higher, but very flat low hills.

For the river valley with a low middle and hills on both sides, they are like pork falling into a cauldron, waiting for the artillery of the Ming army to boil them.

Among the two blue flags, facing the sudden Ming army and shelling, Mang Gurtai calmly commanded the two blue flags to quickly pass through the stone fort ahead without panicking.

He was worried that this group of women and children would bomb the camp, but fortunately, the discipline of the Jurchens was not bad, or the [-] stone bombs were really too few compared to this huge crowd, so they didn't notice the casualties of their own people at all. .

Thinking of this, Liu Aita began to think about when he should make a move. At the same time, Cao Bianjiao also led more than a hundred cavalry to Cao Wenzhao's position.

Mang Gurtai glared, then blew the wooden whistle, and accelerated his horse with the two blue flags, which had only 28 people left after the shelling, as if he didn't want to care about the [-] women and children behind.

"Great Khan, there are still stone castles stuck on the breakout route after passing the stone castle ahead. Heshuobeile chose the widest stone castle to break through, and now he has brought two blue flag soldiers to break through."

Although Li Yongfang is the number one Han general in the Kingdom of Jin, his status is high because he was the first general of the Ming Dynasty to surrender.

At the same time, Manggurtai, in a cold sweat, led more than 9000 troops of the two blue flags through the intersection of the two stone fortresses, without being shelled. It is estimated that the artillery of the Ming army in the stone fortress is still cooling down.

Thousands of cavalrymen blew the wooden whistle, and the two thousand cavalrymen also descended like tigers, condescendingly rushing towards the 6000 horse and infantry soldiers with white flags.

As Cao Wenzhao said, he couldn't help thinking of the scene where he went to the Yumajian to ask for a horse in the future, and was stared at by Wang Chengen's death.

All the cows heard the sound, and they followed the blowing one after another, and the horse and infantry soldiers under their command also raised their bows and arrows one after another.

In Beishan in March, eating hot food and drinking hot tea is the greatest enjoyment.

Cao Wenzhao, who was sitting on a hill with a Mazha in his hand, was holding a piece of pancake, next to a bonfire, and on the bonfire stand was a bowl of boiling water.

Therefore, compared with Gao Huai and Li Chengliang, Nurhachi in the early days became the best candidate for the people of Liaodong to take refuge in.

"He Shuobile underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. I'm afraid there will be changes ahead. We have to cover the women and children to break through. Wen Cai and I will lead people to maintain the order of the women and children."

The Ming army beat them, and he wanted to lead people to break through first.

"Being a dog for others is a matter of doing our best. We can learn how to raise dogs like Jianlu."

Li Yongfang, who was over fifty years old, mentioned his second son, and then looked at his eldest son Li Yangeng.

When Cao Wenzhao came, it meant that the Jin army had to face not only [-] straight cavalry, but also tens of thousands of straight cavalry infantry.

It is impossible for such a person to defend Balibao with 1000 people, unless he has some useless trump card.

The Ming army can wait, but the Jin army cannot.

"Boom bang bang-"

Qianhu, a cavalry soldier of the Ming army, saw that the Jin army was marching slowly, and they didn't need to think much to know that their intention was to advance the range of the arrows.

The two advanced and retreated, and gradually retreated a hundred steps, so that the golden army was only three hundred steps away from the artillery position.

Dorgon was excited with his wooden whistle in his mouth, and as excited as he was, there was Mangurtai who led the troops to break through first...

Grandma is sick, and I have to accompany her to the hospital for an examination in the afternoon, and then go through the hospitalization procedures.

I don’t know what time it will be updated at night, and I don’t know if it can be guaranteed to be updated. I’m sorry...
