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

Chapter 16 Ming Dynasty God of War Liu Wei
In the original trajectory, Jianzhou's spies would hold the seal seized from Jun Jun and falsely claim that the West Route Army had arrived at Hetuala City; lure the East Route Army northward, and then kill Liu Wei near Abdaligaon. , quickly defeated the Eastern Route Army.

However, Li Xianzhong had already burned, killed, and looted under the city of Hetuala under the banner of the Eastern Route Army. Naturally, this trick would not work.

Now what the East Route Army ushered in was not Jianzhou's spies, but Amin's five thousand blue flags.

The Eastern Route Army was led by Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief, with 5000 Ming troops, and the army was supervised by the deputy envoy Kang Yingqian and Huang Zongzhou Zanli.

The Ming Dynasty also requested 3000 Korean troops to assist in the war, led by Marshal Jiang Hongli and Deputy Marshal Jin Jingrui, under the control of Liu Qing, and under the supervision of Zhenjiang guerrilla Qiao Yiqi.

The Eastern Route Army set out from Kuandian and attacked Hetuala via Dong'e Road.Due to the long distance, dangerous mountains, narrow roads, and thick thorns on this road, and the Hou Jin Dynasty implemented strong walls to clear the fields and cut down trees and set up obstacles on the Dong'e Road, the march of the East Route Army was slow.

Yesterday, the 500 people left by Hou Jin to contain the East Route Army fought a battle with the East Route Army at the Shenhe River line. Although the Ming army finally killed a hundred people and repelled the Hou Jin army, most of them still escaped ( Was annihilated by the Liaodong cavalry this morning).

However, due to the death of his favorite general Liu Jilong in battle and the wait for food and fodder, the Eastern Route Army stayed near Shenhe for another day.

At this time, the veteran Liu Wei never imagined that one of his men was sitting in the camp, and the pot came from the sky. Li Xianzhong's coquettish operation directly attracted the Xianglan Banner all the way south to kill the East Route Army.

Although heavy snow fell in the sky again at this time, this could not stop Amin's revengeful heart. After continuing to rush south for more than an hour, the blue flag appeared in the Ming army's field of vision.

Zhenjiang guerrilla Qiao Yiqi was leading his troops to inspect the surrounding areas. Suddenly a Ming army pointed forward and said: "General Qiao, look quickly, there is a large group of cavalry in the distance."

Although the wind and snow greatly affected the line of sight, the march of the cavalry was still quite obvious.

He knew that this should only be the vanguard of Jianlu, but there were also a lot of people, at least a thousand people.

Qiao Yiqi and others quickly returned to the camp and reported the situation to coach Liu Wei.

The East Route Army has 8000 people. Although it looks like a large number, the combat effectiveness of the [-] North Korean troops is really hard to compliment.

The remaining [-] Ming troops were also pieced together from various places, and their combat strength was uneven.

If all the elites who have followed him in the war for many years are with him, Liu Wei will not be afraid of the Tatars at all. Even if Nurhaci leads the main force there, he will not be afraid.

It's a pity that his main force has not yet arrived in Liaodong. At this time, there are only 3000 troops brought by him from the south. The other troops are mostly old and weak and not strong in combat effectiveness.

The coach Yang Hao had an old grudge with Liu Wei. Not only did he assign him the weakest soldiers and the most difficult road to walk, he even had insufficient supplies of food and grass. The East Route Army had been stopped several times due to food and grass problems.

At this moment, there were only 1 people around Liu Wei. The [-] Zhejiang soldiers led by the supervisor Kang Yingqian were in charge of the rear, while the [-] Korean troops followed the Ming army slowly.

Fortunately, the Ming army had already set up camp in the mountaineering area and occupied a favorable location.

Liu Wei said to Qiao Yiqi: "Qiao Guerba, go to the North Korean army and tell Jiang Hongli to climb the mountain within two hours to join the battle. If he dares to use any excuse to delay disobeying my command, you will kill him directly. All consequences will be borne by me." Handsome and responsible."

The crime of killing the coach of a vassal country is not a light one. Qiao Yiqi hesitated for a moment and then said: "I will obey the order!"

Liu Wei is worthy of being a veteran who has fought for many years, and he is decisive in killing. He is very aware of the urinary nature of the Korean army. If he does not act seriously, he will probably make excuses to delay it.

Previously, Yang Hao ordered the four Ming armies to join forces at Erdaokou yesterday and jointly attack Hetuala. Although the East Route Army failed to arrive on time, it is still seventy or eighty miles away from Hetuala. Jianlu took the initiative to attack. The situation of other armies is not good.

At this time, his adopted son Liu Zhaosun said: "Father, Commander-in-Chief, the South Route Army should be closest to us. Should we send someone to rescue the South Route Army?"

Liao Town has always excluded guest troops, and Li Rubai and Yang Hao are in the same league.Although the South Route Army was the only one who could support him at this time, Liu Wei would not bow his head and ask for help from them.

He said: "I'm afraid Li Rubai's situation may not be better than ours at this time. Let's go down and prepare to meet the enemy."

After discovering the main force of the Ming army, Xianglan Banner quickly surrounded the mountaineering area.

It was only more than an hour before dark, but Houjin's main force would not arrive here until at least tomorrow. Amin decided to entangle the Ming army first to prevent them from escaping while it was dark.So the soldiers with the blue flag raised their shields and sabers high and rushed towards the mountain.

Soon the Ming army's arrow rain came as expected, but everyone in Xianglan Banner wore armor, and at worst heavy cloth armor. Coupled with the shields, the Ming army's bows and arrows did not cause much damage to them.

Seeing that the bows and arrows were ineffective, the Ming army quickly retreated the prepared stones and rolling logs down the hillside.

The jumping tree stumps and boulders did cause a certain amount of casualties to the enemy.Some of the blue flags that couldn't escape were hit hard and rolled down.

However, the number prepared by the Ming army was limited. After a short adjustment, the soldiers with blue flags rushed forward again.At this time, they were only 50 steps away from the Ming army's position, and the Jin army began to counterattack with bows and arrows.

The Jianlu's arrow skills were much better than those of the Ming army, and many Ming soldiers were directly shot in the vital points by them.

At this time, Liu Zhaosun shouted: "The gunmen are ready!"

The Ming Army in Liaodong usually used the "three-eyed gun". The advantage was that it could be fired three times by rotating the barrel of the gun once loaded. The disadvantage was that the accuracy was poor and the effective killing distance was very short, only 3 steps at most.

The Ming army in the south preferred to use bird cannons. The advantages were stable aiming and a relatively long effective range, which could reach fifty or sixty steps. The disadvantage was that the reloading amount was small and it was difficult to penetrate the heavy armor of the Jin army.

Moreover, most of the Ming army's fireguns of this era were extremely slow to load and were in danger of exploding easily.Unless it is defending a city, it is difficult to achieve a second round of reloading with such a short effective range.

"Bang, bang, bang"

With a puff of white smoke, the Ming army's cannons began to shoot.

It has to be said that the shields and heavy cloth armor with blue flags still withstood most of the firepower for them.Not many people were actually killed by fire guns, and most of them only suffered some injuries.

With only 200 casualties, Xianglan Banner attacked the Ming army's camp.

What's worse is that the wind and snow have stopped at this time, and the white smoke left by the Ming army's cannon fire has not dispersed for a long time. Xianglan Qi took advantage of the Ming army's sight being blocked and rushed forward in one fell swoop.

The two sides soon entered the most brutal hand-to-hand combat, and the Houjin Army quickly gained the upper hand by relying on its advantages in equipment and combat power.

At this time, veteran Liu Wei brandished his iron sword weighing 120 kilograms and joined the fight with more than a thousand servants behind him.

These people are the elite who followed him to pacify Bozhou and fought against North Korea for many years. They are also the core force of the entire Eastern Route Army.

Although his beard has turned gray, Liu Wei's footsteps are extremely firm.When he wielded the iron sword, he exuded an unparalleled majesty and power.

The iron sword in his hand was unstoppable, sweeping across like a whirlwind, knocking away the Tatars blocking him one by one.

Jiala'e Zhenwu Tai'er of Xianglan Banner is also a famous warrior in Jianzhou, famous for his great strength.

Although he had also heard of the name "Liu Dadao", how could he take a sixty-year-old man seriously.

After killing two Ming soldiers, he immediately swung his hammer and hit Liu Wei. He thought that the old guy would not be able to catch his heavy blow, but unexpectedly he was knocked back by the iron sword. After several steps, he almost lost the hammer in his hand.

Soon Utel paid the price for his underestimation of the enemy. A cold light flashed and his heavy body fell to the ground.

But Liu Wei did not stop. As he continued to wave the sword in his hand, more than a dozen Eight Banners soldiers were killed by him on the spot, which boosted the morale of the Ming army.

At this moment, he is worthy of the title of "God of War of the Ming Dynasty"!
