Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 1 Traveling through the Saarhu (new book recommended for collection)
In the spring of the 47th year of Wanli, a group of people were traveling through the ice and snow. The neighing of horses echoed in the vast snowfields of Liaodong, and the hoofs of the horses left deep imprints.

The cold wind was biting, and snowflakes fell on their red mandarin duck jackets, quickly allowing them to blend into the surrounding environment.

Not long after, everyone stopped at a lake that was already covered with ice and snow. General Manager Li Sanshun pointed forward excitedly and said, "Major General, look, there are reeds here!"

After seeing the reed, everyone was very excited, as if they had found a treasure. Soon the few people accompanying them quickly pulled out the reed and handed it to the major general in front of them.

Seeing the yellow and dry roots of these reeds, the major general couldn't help but shook his head.He sighed and said, "It seems that although we can find reeds this winter, they have all withered. I'm afraid these reed roots cannot be used to detoxify."

When he heard that he could not detoxify, Li Sanshun said anxiously: "Now the army is about to go to war, but the commander is poisoned and unable to move. What should we do? Is God going to punish me, the Ming Dynasty?"

The "young general" he spoke of was Li Xianzhong, the adopted son of Li Rubai, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty and the right governor of the Right Army Governor's Mansion.

Influenced by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the generals of the Ming Dynasty had the habit of adopting young officers with great potential among the generals as adopted sons.

However, this major general is really special. He is not Li Rubai's adopted son promoted in the army, but a child that Li Rubai brought back from outside a few years ago.Li Rubai was particularly kind to him. Not only did he recognize him as his adopted son, he taught and cultivated him carefully, and even let him live in the Li Mansion.

Li Rubai doted on him, but Li Xianzhong did not disappoint him.

The tall Li Xianzhong not only has fair skin, but also has a clear-cut face and is extremely handsome. He has a high nose, sharp eyebrows, and a trace of heroism in his movements.

He also had good marksmanship and a silver spear that was rare in the army. Li Xianzhong, who was less than 20 years old, was now a guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty and controlled an elite servant of thousands of people.In terms of appearance, he is quite similar to Li Rubai, so much so that everyone thinks he is Li Rubai's illegitimate son.

But at this time, Li Xianzhong had become a completely different person.

Not long ago, Li Ke, a student at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, was bitten by a rare snow-capped mountain white-bellied snake near Fushun, Liaoning Province. The huge poison caused him to lose consciousness quickly, and he had changed into a snake when he woke up. Became Li Xianzhong.

Li Ke comes from a family of Chinese medicine practitioners. He found that his whole body was numb and there were slight signs of fugu poisoning. He quickly got rid of the symptoms after inducing vomiting on his own.

However, his father, Li Rubai, was not so lucky. Although the doctor had induced vomiting for him, the poisoning was still serious. Although his life was safe, his whole body was numb and he temporarily lost his ability to move.

Now the easiest way is to find fresh reeds, wash the roots and pound the juice to take it, which can detoxify immediately.

But it was severely cold at this time, and even if they could find reeds in the ice and snow of Liaodong, they were almost dead. The detoxification effect of using medicine from their roots would not be ideal.

What's even more unfortunate is that Li Xianzhong discovered that he had traveled to the late Ming Dynasty, when the "Battle of Saarhu" had already begun.

Although he was just a medical college student in his previous life, one of his hobbies was to visit major history forums and military discussion forums. He was an amateur military history enthusiast, what everyone calls a "keyboard warrior."

He was very clear about the outcome of the "Battle of Salhu".

In February of the 47th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty, with Liaodong Manager Yang Hao as its commander-in-chief, dispatched more than 3000 officers and soldiers, plus 47 Korean troops, and more than 25 people from the Haixi Jurchen Ye He tribe, known as an army of [-], divided into four After the road attack, Jin.The army set off on February [-]th, and the deadline was March [-]nd to join forces and attack Houjin's hometown Hetuala.

After Nurhachi learned of the Ming Army's four-pronged siege plan, he held back the East Route Army led by Liu Wei with only 500 troops. Taking advantage of the slow movements of the other Ming armies, he first concentrated his main force to eat up the Juniper Division of the West Route Army. .

On the first day of March, Du Song's army suddenly advanced and reached the vicinity of Sarhu. They divided their troops into two and stationed their main force near Sarhu. They led ten thousand people to attack Jilin Cliff.

Nurhaci saw that Du Song's army was advancing alone and its troops were scattered. On the one hand, he sent troops to reinforce Jilin Ya, and on the other hand, he personally led 5000 Six Banners elite troops to attack Du Song's army in Sarhu.

The next day, the two armies fought. It was just after noon, and the sky was dark and it was difficult to tell at a close distance. Juniper's army lit torches to illuminate for artillery bombardment. Later, the Jin army used the torches lit by Juniper's army to attack from the dark and concentrated their arrows, killing many people.At this time, Nurhaci took advantage of the heavy fog, crossed the trench, pulled out the fence, and captured the Du Army camp. The main force of the Du Army was defeated and suffered many casualties.With the cooperation of reinforcements, the defenders of the Hou Jin Dynasty stationed in Jilinya also defeated the attacking enemy. The commander-in-chief of the Ming Army's West Route Army, Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief Du Song, Baoding Commander-in-Chief Wang Xuan, and Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief Zhao Menglin, were all killed in the battle. .The Mingxi Route Army was completely wiped out.

After the West Route Army, the most powerful Ming army, was completely annihilated, Nurhaci targeted the Marin Department of the North Route Army.

On the night of the first day of March, the North Route Army of the Ming Dynasty, led by Ma Lin, entered Shangjian Cliff (in the northeast of Sarhu). After learning that Juniper's army was defeated, they did not dare to advance and stationed the army in three places for on-site defense.

In order to preserve his strength, Marin dug three layers of trenches around the camp, lined up the firearms troops outside the trenches, and the cavalry followed.He also ordered the generals Pan Zongyan and Gong Niansui to lead their respective troops and station them several miles away from the main camp to form a horn formation and line up their chariots in a circle to block the enemy cavalry from rushing forward.

However, Ma Lin obviously overestimated the role of firearms. Later Jin directly attacked Ma Lin's camp with cavalry from the high slopes in the south. The Ming army was defeated by the flanking attack from the southeast by Hou Jin's army.

The Ming army could not withstand the offensive momentum of the Hou Jin cavalry and fled in defeat. The Hou Jin army took advantage of the momentum to pursue and defeat Pan Zongyan's tribe, and most of the Ming army on the northern route was annihilated.Ming army deputy general Ma Yan and others were all killed, and the commander-in-chief Ma Lin only led a few people to escape.

The Eastern Route Army led by Liu Wei was unable to advance to Hetuala as scheduled due to the rugged mountain roads and difficulty in movement.Not knowing that the west and north roads had been lost, we still headed north as planned.

On the third day of March, in order to completely annihilate the Eastern Route Army, Nurhaci adopted the strategy of luring them to advance quickly and setting up an ambush to gather and annihilate them. He used his main force to set up an ambush at Abdaligaon (Hetu Alanan), and a few soldiers pretended to be Ming troops, wearing military uniforms. The Ming army wore armor, wore the banner of the Ming army, and held Juniper arrows. They falsely claimed that the Juniper army was approaching Hetuala and asked Liu Wei to advance quickly.

Liu Wei believed it to be true and immediately ordered a rapid advance with light equipment.On the fourth day of March, when Liu Wei's leading troops entered Abdali Post, they were ambushed and defeated.Nurhaci took advantage of the victory and defeated his subsequent troops.

At this time, Yang Hao was stationed in Shenyang and controlled a mobile force, but he did not make any response.After learning that Du Song and Ma Lin were defeated, he hurriedly ordered Li Rubai's army to return to the division on the fifth day of March.The South Route Army moved slowly and only reached Huban Post (east of Qinghe Fort).

When he received the order to retreat, he was discovered by Houjin Sentry, who sounded a conch on the mountain to send out an impact signal and made a loud noise.Li Rubai thought it was the main force of Hou Jin who launched the attack, so he fled in panic, trampling on each other, killing and wounding more than a thousand people.

In just five days, more than 5 civil and military officers and more than 310 sergeants were killed in the Ming Dynasty; a total of more than 45800 horses, mules, and camels were lost.

The defeat of the "Battle of Saarhu" directly caused the Ming Dynasty to lose all its elite troops in Liaodong. The offensive and defensive changes between the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty also announced the rise of Hou Jin Dynasty. The consequences were too serious.

Thinking of this, Li Xianzhong felt a headache. It was only because he traveled through time at the wrong time.

If he could get three to five days earlier, he would have time to stop Yang Hao's death-defying behavior of dividing his troops into four groups; even if he could get three or five days earlier, he would be able to stop Jun Song from underestimating the enemy's advance.

It was already the early morning of the second day of March. At this time, Jun Song's West Route Army was probably wiped out, and even Marin's North Route Army was probably in danger.

Although there is no record in history why Li Rubai's Southern Route Army advanced so slowly?But judging from the current situation, Li Rubai's poisoning is probably the main reason.

Therefore, he must find fresh reeds as soon as possible to detoxify his handsome father.There is still time to save Liu Wei's Eastern Route Army. Even if defeat cannot be turned into victory, as long as one part of the Jin army is severely damaged, Nurhachi's strength can be greatly weakened and Ming Dynasty will gain valuable time for another attack.

Otherwise, although the Southern Route Army could safely withdraw.However, in the face of rumors, Li Rubai finally chose to commit suicide in shame and anger to prove his innocence. From then on, one of the most prestigious generals in the Ming Dynasty, the "Liaodong Li Family" completely disappeared. As a member of the Li Family, I am afraid that he will not have any What a happy ending.

Whether public or private, Li Xianzhong must change all this.However, the difficulty of finding fresh reeds at the moment is probably no less difficult than winning the "Battle of Salhu".
