Chapter 414 Capital Defense Battle 9

"Yeah, I didn't expect that the Ming army would degrade so quickly. When Li Chengliang was alive, even if you and I had the upper hand, we didn't dare to guarantee a head-on victory.

In just a few years, thousands of soldiers and horses were chased for more than ten miles by hundreds of people like rabbits. The soldiers had no courage, the generals had no backbone, and were timid before fighting. I really don’t know what the Ming Emperor has been doing.

If we Jurchens could have such fertile land and such a large population, not to mention the small Korean Li Dynasty, it would take less than three to five years to sweep across the north and south of the desert and bring all the Mongolian tribes under its command... What a pity, what a pity La! "

After hearing Chu Ying's heroic words, Anfei Yanggu not only did not persuade him, but also started to sigh along with him. Since the death of Li Chengliang, the Jianzhou Jurchens have basically never had a head-on confrontation with the Ming army.

I thought that we would have to rack our brains and think of ways to win as before, but since we entered Taolinkou, the whole journey has been like a leisurely stroll, not like a war at all, but more like a large-scale hunting.

The Jurchen army is the hunter, and the Ming army is the prey. Basically, there is no need to consider whether the prey will hurt people. Just find them and charge resolutely, and the battle is almost over.

If Anfei Yanggu had suspected at the beginning that the Ming army was deliberately trying to lure the Jurchen army into deep territory, after careful testing a few times, this concern became very weak.

Especially after defeating thousands of soldiers and horses of Xingzhou Houenwei and Yingzhou Houenwei in just two hours yesterday, and breaking through Sanhe County, the fear of falling into a trap was basically eliminated.

It is only a hundred miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty and can be reached in one day. It is said that the garrison should be relatively elite. However, in addition to the relatively neat weapons and armor, the opponent's combat effectiveness is almost the same as that of the guardsmen in Yongping Mansion, Jizhou Town and other places. They are all in a state of collapse after charging.

The eight thousand cavalrymen he led now had basically no losses except for more than fifty wounded, and all of them had changed into Ming army armor and sharper weapons. Anfeyangu couldn't figure out how to deal with such a large cavalry force with high morale and well-equipped equipment.

Even if there were Ming troops ahead, and even if their numbers were several times higher, he still felt that victory would not be difficult. As for what to do if you fail, unless God insists on taking a knife, how can you fail?

Even if the capital is too strong and there are too many defenders, it would be very difficult to attack. If the worst is possible, we might as well just plunder the surrounding villages and towns, grab more Han slaves and return the same way, who can stop it?

The defenders of Shanhaiguan? Don't worry at all, not only do they not dare to come out, they also have to hide behind the city wall and tremble. At this time, Nurhaci had already led 2 Jurchen troops to the city. Although it was just a feint attack, it would not make it possible for the Ming army to divide its troops.

It was precisely because of the ease these days that Chu Ying's suggestion to visit the capital was supported. And God is also on the side of the Jurchens. The rain fell just in time, so that the Ming army's only muskets and artillery that could threaten the Jurchen army could not be 100% effective.

Once you lose the support of these weapons, you just have to fight with a knife, and you don't have to be afraid no matter how many times the Ming army is. Compared with the tribesmen who have been living in the mountains and forests for many years, the Han people are all docile sheep and tremble at the sight of blood.

"I heard from people in the Khalkha tribe that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was at odds with his ministers, and it was his idea to abandon Liaodong Town. The Han people were only suitable for business and farming, and the Han emperors were not much better.

But the steel knives they make are really good. Yesterday I used a prisoner's knife and actually made several big gaps in my own knife. It is said that the army guarding the capital is better equipped. When the time comes, I will definitely find some better knives and present them to Amma together with the concubine of the Han emperor. "Chu Ying may have had a cold, and his nose kept running. But this minor illness did not affect his condition. When he talked about the war, he became very excited, and he started thinking about the spoils before he even saw the enemy.

"Alhattutu, you should not only think about Amma, but also bring some gifts to your brothers. Without their support, even if the Khan wants to pass the throne to you, you will not be able to sit still. I think. To be a good khan, one must not only know how to fight, but also understand people’s hearts.”

Now that there was nothing to worry about in the battle, Anfeyangu turned his mind to another task. Before coming out, Nurhaci had privately told Chu Ying to persuade him not to be so mean to his brothers again, at least on the surface, he should act like an elder brother.

"Shuo Weng Keluo, it's not that I want to bully them, it's that they always want to compete with me. If I don't subdue them, I will be suppressed by them before Ama passes the position to me. I will smile in front of my face and stab me in the back. I can't do anything about knives, and I'll beat anyone who refuses to obey, as Amma has said since she was a child."

But Chu Ying didn't feel that he was wrong. If he was wrong, it was that he was too soft this time, so the brothers united with the leaders of various ministries to complain to their father.

"Even if we want to suppress them, we can't all fight together. You have to understand that no matter how powerful the tiger is, it can't deal with a bear and a pack of wolves at the same time."

Anfei Yanggu was already a little helpless. This was not the first time he had tried to persuade the heir to the Khan throne, but the effect was mediocre. It’s not that I don’t listen, it’s that I don’t understand, or I don’t understand.

"Well, I know what to do. When I go back this time, I will defeat Daishan first. He is the one who instigated the brothers to go against me behind my back!" Don't say that Chu Ying has no brains. This is not just learning and applying, knowing the key points. Blow.

"Sigh... don't think about these things now. The capital should be ahead. The Han people are quite capable. They can actually build the city wall so high that it looks stronger than the side walls."

Faced with this reply full of resentment and ferocity, Anfeyangu could only sigh and change the subject, pointing to the gray-black line in the distance, and sincerely praised the construction capabilities of the Han people.

What the hell is this? Even if you want to attack your brothers, you shouldn't say it in front of so many people. What Nurhachi is most worried about is that his sons will kill each other. How come they are in their thirties and have no city?

If such a person is allowed to inherit the throne, the consequences can be imagined. The various Jurchen tribes that have worked so hard to unify will soon be torn apart.

At this moment, he also classified Chu Ying as unfit to be the heir. After returning, he must find an opportunity to have a detailed chat with Nurhachi. Don't count on it, just raise another son as soon as possible.
