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

Chapter 10 Abate leaves the city (please recommend daily reading)
Li Yongfang's analysis still makes some sense. Liu Wei and Liaodong manager Yang Hao had some conflicts on the Korean battlefield, so when Yang Hao divided his troops this time, he directly assigned them to the farthest east route.

Not only was the journey long, but the troop configuration was also the worst. Liu Wei was forced to rush into battle before his main forces in the southwest had arrived.There were actually only [-] Ming troops, plus [-] Korean troops.

Liu Wei himself has amazing arm strength. He holds a 120-pound iron sword and can kill countless enemies. He is the famous "Ten Thousand Enemies" in the Ming Dynasty, and is nicknamed "Liu Dadao" by people.

Moreover, most of his subordinates are elites who have fought in hundreds of battles. Although the number of troops is not large, they are powerful in combat. It is possible that the 500 people on the east road did not block this "Liu Dadao".

At this time, Abate said impatiently: "He Heli, what are you still hesitating about? If we don't attack, all the villages outside Hetuala will be taken away by the Ming army. Although these people are old and weak, Women and children are also my subjects of Dajin, we can't just let the Ming army wreak havoc outside the city and remain indifferent."

Although Abatai is the seventh son of Nurhachi, his mother's status is low, and he is not favored by Nurhachi. Although he has made military achievements very early, he is still just a low-ranking Taiji.

As a good opportunity to gain military merit like the Battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi took all the four great masters Baylor and a group of trusted generals with him, but arranged for him to stay in Hetuala. His status can be imagined.

Therefore, Abate is eager to enhance his status through military exploits.

Abate's status also illustrates the actual situation of Li Yongfang, Fuxi's consort.

However, Abatai is Li Yongfang's father-in-law after all. At this time, he had to speak for his father-in-law, so he said: "I originally thought that even if the Ming army broke through to the vicinity of Hetuala, they would attack the city directly, so there was no Transfer the population from nearby mountainous areas. Our population in Dajin is insufficient, and if these women and children are killed by the Ming army, it will still have a great impact on us."

"According to the intelligence, Liu Wei's main force is definitely still on the way. It should be just a small cavalry raid. I am also willing to go out with Abata Taiji to destroy these Ming troops."

At this time, He Heli seemed very embarrassed. Now Hou Jin's main force should have basically defeated Marin. It is estimated that reinforcements will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest. At this time, as long as he holds on to the city, he can complete the task.

Nowadays, the Jurchen clan in Jianzhou has a population of less than 40. If tens of thousands of old and weak people were killed by the Ming army in one fell swoop, it would be considered a traumatic experience.Those slaves who farm the land can be captured again, but the Jurchens only have this population, and it is difficult to replenish them in a short time.

After weighing the situation, He Heli agreed to Abatai's request and allowed him to lead his 5 Niulu 1500 men to attack. Li Yongfang also led 2000 Han troops to help.

However, as a result, there were only 2500 Eight Banners soldiers and 2000 Han troops left in Hetuala.

Abatai could no longer hold himself back any longer, and immediately led his white flag and set off with Li Yongfang.

At this time, the stockades five miles south of Hetuala were basically burned down by the Ming army. Seeing a burning stockade, Abate couldn't help but became furious and cursed: "These Ming dogs are really abominable. This is They want to drive us all away, leaving almost no grass growing anywhere they pass!"

Li Yongfang remained silent on the sidelines. This was already the third village they had arrived at, and it was the same for every one.

These Ming troops were so ruthless that they destroyed the village so completely in such a short period of time. It really put barbarians like them who had been burning, killing and looting all year round to shame!
Soon, four sounding arrows pierced the sky, leaving four traces, three long and one short, in the dark night sky.

Ming armies from all walks of life quickly gathered after receiving the signal.

Li Sanshun said: "Jianlu has been dispatched. It looks like there are 4000 to [-] people."

At this time, Li Xianzhong's expression seemed a little heavy. According to research on the past life forum, Nurhachi's troops left in Hetuala should only be 4000, and they would definitely not be elite.According to his estimate, Jianlu would dispatch at most half of the troops, about 2000 people.

With the Li family's two thousand cavalry ambushing the same number of Eight Banners cranes, there is still a good chance of winning.

But who knew that they actually sent out three or four thousand people, almost all of them. Could it be that this Jianlu didn't even want Hetuala?
Or is it that he was deceived by those keyboard warriors, and Hetuala's troops are far more than four thousand?

With the strength of the Li family's Liaodong cavalry, there is no chance of winning against the Eight Banners, which has three or four thousand men who are not elite. But if the Li family's wealth is wiped out in one battle, how can they fight the subsequent battles?
At this time, a middle-aged general who was nearly 50 years old spoke up. He said: "Young general, there is no need to worry. With the 500 heavy armored cavalry of the last general, these group of captives will not get any advantage."

The speaker was named Zha Huizu. His father, Zha Dashouguan, was the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong and was originally a servant of the Li family.Because of his repeated military exploits, he was highly regarded by Li Chengliang and his son, and he was the long-term commander of thousands of Li family's elite Liaodong cavalry.

As the saying goes, sons inherit their father's legacy. Although Zha Huizu was just a guerrilla in Tieling, as a general of the Li family, he was responsible for training the cavalry that commanded the Li family for a long time.

This is also the reason why Li Rubai dared to hand over two thousand Liaodong cavalry to Li Xianzhong. Zha Huizu was only responsible to Li Rubai, and he was not worried about losing this army.

In fact, the Eastern armored cavalry are not the heavy armored knights of Europe, and such heavy plate armor is rarely seen.Mainly divided into two parts: helmets and armor. The Li family's Liaodong cavalry are the elite among the elite. Naturally, they all have bright helmets and bright armor (usually pierced armor or fish scale armor) as well as arm, hand, face armor and other supporting equipment.

But this whole set of equipment weighs fifty kilograms, which is a huge test for both knights and horses. It cannot be accomplished with just money.

Therefore, the Li family can currently only maintain the Liaodong Iron Cavalry at 2000 people, only a quarter of its peak number.

The "iron-armored heavy cavalry" in Zha Huizu's mouth refers to not only the knights, but also the horses, which are real iron-shod and iron-armoured horses.Even the Li family of Liaodong, who had no shortage of money, could not raise so many good horses and could only maintain the number at five hundred.

In addition to Ming armor, a kind of cloth armor is also popular in the Ming army, which is commonly known as "green armor" and "purple flower cloth armor". It is a heavy-duty cloth armor with iron plates inside, also known as "dark armor". "A", the weight is about half of Ming Jia, which is also 25 kilograms.

Usually these cavalrymen with bright helmets and dark armors are also called "armored cavalry", but there is still a big difference between them and the cavalrymen with bright helmets and dark armors.

At this time, among the [-] armored men of the Jianlu Banner, it is estimated that less than [-] are actually equipped with bright helmets and bright armor. Most of them can only be equipped with bright helmets and dark armor, and some even have leather armor.

Of course, after Saarhu, Houjin received a large amount of equipment from the Ming army. The armor rate of the army rose sharply, and the combat power was also directly increased a lot.

It can be said that now is the last chance to weaken Jianlu. If they really wait until they digest the strategic materials captured by Saarhu, the gap between the two sides will be even greater.

Zha Huizu's heavy armored cavalry made Li Xianzhong regain his confidence. Even if he defeated the enemy with a small number, he would definitely beat these captives painfully and let them taste the power of the Li family's "Liaodong iron cavalry".

Just as the Ming army retreated with all its strength to prepare for a decisive battle with the Jianlu, the latest news came from Ye Bushou: By observing the enemy's torches in the distance, it was discovered that after leaving the city, the Tatars gradually divided into two waves, and the distance between the two waves of cavalry seemed to be The more you pull, the wider you open.

This made Li Xianzhong's eyes light up, and he suddenly had a new idea.
