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

Chapter 17: Deceiving the stick to march into the army
Liu Wei's personal brilliance illuminated the entire battlefield, causing the morale of both sides to wax and wane, and completely changing the situation on the battlefield.

Wherever the blade passed, all the Jin troops retreated, leaving only wailing everywhere.

Under the inspiration of their own coach, the Ming army became more and more courageous in fighting, and soon suppressed the Tatars' momentum.

Xianglan Banner, on the other hand, had no morale at all and was completely intimidated by Liu Wei's momentum. Instead of having the advantage, they were killed and retreated steadily.

Amin, who was watching the battle from a distance, was originally in a good mood. Xianglan Banner only invested 2000 men and had already entered the Ming Army's camp on the mountain, and firmly held the advantage.

But suddenly the situation on the mountain was reversed. The Xianglan Banner, which had the advantage, was gradually driven down by the Ming army. The Ming army even wanted to take advantage of the situation and pursue them.

At this time, Amin did not press all the troops because of his enthusiasm, but chose to withdraw his troops.

His attack was initially of a tentative nature. After all, the main force of the Jin army would arrive here to meet up in a few hours, and by then the Eastern Route Army would be unable to fly.

He was also shocked when he learned from the defeated soldiers that Utair was instantly killed by Liu Wei.

Generals of the Ming Dynasty always like to brag about themselves. I think Jun Song also boasted that he had "brave that no man can match", but he was killed easily.

Utair's combat power was hardly inferior to his own, and he was actually instantly killed by Liu Wei. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If he was the one leading the charge this time, he might not be able to escape Liu Wei's iron sword.

At this time, Liu Zhaosun on the mountain said: "Father, our army was so powerful just now that we defeated the enemy in one go. Why did you stop my son from pursuing us?"

Liu Wei said: "Jianlu's troops attacking the mountain are only a small part, and their main cavalry is still at the bottom of the mountain. What will be the consequences if you chase them on foot like this?"

After calming down, Liu Zhaosun also realized that he was reckless. If he had gone down the mountain just now, although he could have killed more of the retreating Jianlu, his men would have been attacked by the Jianlu's bows and arrows first, and then covered up and killed by their cavalry. , it will definitely be a big defeat.

Liu Zhaosun said with some shame: "Thank you for your teachings. My child was not thinking well and almost ruined something big."

Looking at Liu Zhaosun, Liu Wei also looked helpless.The combat effectiveness of his Eastern Route Army was really poor. Except for his own 3000 men, the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled had little combat effectiveness.

Just now, I occupied a favorable terrain, and I was suppressed by these soldiers with more troops and fewer troops.

Liu Wei asked: "What are our losses in this battle?"

Liu Zhaosun said hesitantly: "We killed and injured more than 2000 people, including nearly 1000 southwest veterans, but we also killed more than [-] and [-] Tatars."

Originally, he thought that the Jianlu were powerful cavalry, but he did not expect that Hetuala was in the mountainous area. Almost all the cities in Jianzhou were built on the mountains. These Jianlu could move freely in the mountains, even better than the chieftain soldiers in Banzhou. Good at mountain warfare.

This battle also made Liu Wei realize a reality: it would be difficult to defeat Jianlu by relying solely on the Eastern Route Army to fight alone.

Liu Zhaosun said again: "Commander Father, we still have to try to eliminate the Jianlu people at the foot of the mountain tonight, otherwise we may have a long night, and it will be difficult if the Jianlu troops increase their troops overnight!"

Liu Wei nodded happily and said with a smile: "It seems that you have made some progress. We will defeat Jianlu tonight. You hurry up and prepare the horses and have your servants on standby to prepare for an attack." "Can you defeat Jianlu?" , it all depends on Qiao Yiqi."

After receiving the general's order, Zhenjiang guerrilla Qiao Yiqi took more than ten soldiers and rushed to the Korean army camp more than ten miles away.

He knew that Marshal Jiang Hongli of the Joseon Dynasty was a close confidant of the Joseon King Li Hui. The two had an extremely close relationship as early as when Li Hui was still the crown prince of the Joseon Dynasty. It is said that Jiang Hongli had another identity, that of "the king's man".

Presumably this man must have been good-looking when he was young, but at this time he was nearly fifty years old, with a fat body and a big beard. Apart from his fair skin, Qiao Yiqi really couldn't tell that there was anything handsome about him.

It is estimated that the "pig-killing knife" of time has been too cruel to Jiang Hongli.

As the supervisor of the Korean army, Qiao Yiqi naturally knew what kind of character this person was. If he told him the truth and dispatched the Korean army to fight against the captives, he would probably pee in his pants.

It would be easy to kill him by yourself, although the commander said that he would be responsible for everything.But after all, North Korea was the first vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. If the "King's Man" was really killed, the King of North Korea might be looking for him, and the court would probably sacrifice his small role to calm this diplomatic turmoil.

So Qiao Yiqi came up with a plan and said: "Marshal Jiang, several other armies of the Ming Dynasty have joined forces at Hetula City. Marshal Liu has already left camp overnight and headed north, urgently ordering your army to follow up."

At this time, Jiang Hongli forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: "Our Korean army is short of food and really cannot break camp. Qiao Jianjun also understands this situation."

Qiao Yiqi interrupted him directly and said: "There is no need to talk about the difficulties. The commander-in-chief knows it. But now the situation has changed. We can no longer wait for the subsequent food shipments to arrive, but go directly to Hetuala to get them."

"Several other armies have arrived now. If we arrive late, we won't be able to get anything. Marshal Jiang was unwilling to take such a big risk and went out. In the end, he didn't get any military merits and returned without success. Bar?"

"The Jianlu in this E-Road building have not been completely eliminated. If our East Route Army sets out and you stay here and run into Jianru, don't blame me for not warning you."

Under Qiao Yiqi's coaxing and frightening efforts, the Korean army finally set off towards the battlefield.

Although Xianglan Banner suffered heavy losses, the remaining 3800 cavalry still guarded the roads at the foot of the mountain to prevent the Ming army from breaking through and going down the mountain.

Night has fallen, and time seems extremely long in the darkness. All Amin has to do now is wait.

The sentinels soon received news that a large number of Ming troops were marching here. Although it was difficult to determine the specific number of people, the scale should not be less than [-].

There were tens of thousands of Ming troops, which really frightened Amin. If he was attacked by two Ming troops, his situation would be bad.

The sentry knight added: "Looking at their uniforms, they look like Korean troops, not Ming Dynasty troops."

Amin wanted to whip him up and scolded angrily: "You are so breathless when you talk, but you only revealed such important information last."

But since the North Korean army is coming, the next step will be much easier.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal a smirk on his face.
