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

Chapter 20: The Liaodong cavalry is exposed (please follow up)
With Erbeile Amin being beheaded, all the 5000 men and horses with the blue flag were finally left behind by the Ming army.

The two thousand men with white flags led by Hu Erhan were less than 5 miles away from the Eastern Route Army's camp, but at this moment he had to stop advancing.

The mountain road leading to the front was full of cut down giant trees and rocks pushed down from the slopes on both sides, making the cavalry's movement very difficult.

After they cleared these roadblocks with difficulty, they finally came to a battlefield ahead.Thousands of headless corpses of soldiers with blue flags lay scattered here and there.

Hu Erhan soon discovered Amin's body, even though he immediately mobilized two thousand soldiers and horses from Hetuala, which arrived faster than the main force on the northern front.

Unexpectedly, I was still a step late after rushing so slowly along the way.

At this time, Hu Erhan felt a little regretful. If he had not let go of Amin's reins, the situation might not be the same as it is now.

This is not the main battlefield, but the place where the Ming army finally intercepted Amin.He didn't believe that the Ming army could eat Amin's 5000 people without leaving any traces.

Sure enough, they found other battlefields not far away near the mountain. In addition to the blue flag, there were also a large number of corpses of Ming and Korean troops.

Fortunately, the number of corpses of the Ming and Korean troops far exceeded that of the Xianglan Banner, otherwise the Eight Banners soldiers would have been completely embarrassed.

A Jia La Ezhen said: "Judging from the situation of the Ming Army camp on the mountain, it is estimated that they have only left here for more than an hour. We should still be able to catch up with them now."

I only have 2000 troops, so where can I pursue them in the middle of the night?
Hu Erhan said: "The enemy situation is unclear at this time, so it is better not to act rashly. Have you forgotten why Amin's blue flag is missing?"

Soon the descendants of Shantong Huang Taiji also arrived here with an army.

Originally, they arrived at starry night to cooperate with Amin in encircling and suppressing the Eastern Route Army, but unexpectedly they heard the bad news.

The attentive Huang Taiji quickly discovered the suspicion. According to their observations, the battle near the Ming army's camp obviously ended earlier than the mountain road to the north.

The Ming army was able to clean up the battlefield at Dashan Road, which ended later, but was unable to clean up the battlefield around the camp that ended first.

This shows that what Amin encountered was probably two completely different Ming armies, and the Ming army that really defeated Amin was even more terrifying.

But the Ming army should not have too many troops, otherwise they would have no reason to let Hu Erhan's 2000 men go.

According to previous information, the Ming Dynasty East Route Army consisted of [-] Ming troops and [-] Korean troops.Today, there are seven to eight thousand corpses of the Ming army alone seen here, plus five thousand corpses of the Korean army.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty's Eastern Route Army had already suffered more than half its casualties, so it should continue to pursue the Ming Army.

Sure enough, after daybreak, the Hou Jin army discovered the Korean army resting near Fucha, 20 miles south of the mountain.

Although North Korea appeared to be submissive to the Ming Dynasty, the King of North Korea had already privately ordered Jiang Hongli to preserve his strength, so the North Korean army was prepared to surrender directly without resistance.

It's just that Jiang Hongli didn't expect that his hot face would touch someone else's cold ass.

Later, when the Jin army could not catch up with the Ming army, they directly took it out on the Korean army. After killing most of the Korean army, they accepted Jiang Hongli's surrender.

Hou Jin's sentry cavalry followed the flag dropped by the Ming army and chased towards Kuandian, but they followed a lonely man and never found the Ming army.

The dark night and heavy snow covered the traces of the Ming army. Now the whereabouts of the main force of the Ming army were unknown, and they did not dare to go deeper into the endless valleys and ravines.

Hetuala is still relatively empty now. It would not be a joke if the Ming army kills another carbine.

In desperation, they had to leave a small number of sentries and continue to search for traces of the Ming army here.

Then led the main force back to Hetuala. Although the 61-year-old Nurhachi is slightly stooped and has dark skin, his eyes are shining with sharp light, and he still shows extraordinary courage and leadership.

Thirty-six years have passed since he raised his army with thirteen pairs of armor in the 11th year of Wanli (1583).

In the past 30 years, he has unified all the Jurchen tribes except Ye He, and established the Houjin Khanate three years ago.

Hou Jin, who had strong troops and horses, directly declared war on the once-superior giant Ming Dynasty last year, and once captured Fushun Pass and Qinghe Fort.

He was also confident about the Ming army's four-way siege.

The famous sentence "No matter how many ways you come, I will only go all the way" is full of disdain and contempt for the Ming Dynasty.

Thanks to the accurate grasp of the Ming army's intelligence, the first half of the battle went very smoothly.

The Hou Jin Army quickly defeated the main force of the Ming Dynasty's northwest two armies in just two days.Most of the [-] main force of the Ming Army were also wiped out, and even the commander of the West Route Army, Du Song, was directly killed.

But suddenly a Ming army outside the intelligence appeared in Hetuala.

This Ming army was so uncanny that it not only burned down a large number of Jurchen villages in Jianzhou, but also brutally massacred tens of thousands of old, weak, women and children.

Under their noses, they successively eliminated Li Yongfang's Han army, the white flag led by Abatai, and the blue flag led by Amin.

He lost a son, a nephew, and a prince-in-law; and caused the death of nearly [-] bannermen.

You must know that they defeated 3 Ming troops on the northern front and only lost [-] troops.

The Eight Banners only had 6 troops in total, and now 1 people were killed, which is already considered a serious injury!
What's even more disgusting is that he still hasn't figured out the identity and whereabouts of this Ming army. How can he not be angry?
At this time, Nurhachi's face was livid, and the veins on his forehead kept popping up. He said angrily: "Tell me, who are these Ming soldiers? They can't just fall from the sky, right?"

The major Baylors below looked at each other. At this moment, they realized the importance of Li Yongfang. Li Yongfang was responsible for a lot of information. Without him now, everyone felt a little bit blind.

Dahan was furious, and no one wanted to talk about it at this time.

Huang Taiji hesitated for a moment, but decided to seize this opportunity to express himself, so he said: "Great Khan, according to our inspection of the battlefield, it was not the Eastern Route Army who actually killed Amin and Abatai, and it was very likely that they were A heavy cavalry force.”

"Most of the Ming Dynasty's East Route Army has been killed by Amin. It is obvious that they do not have this ability. The captured Koreans also confirmed that Amin has surrounded Liu Wei!"

"Since it is not the East Route Army and the two Ming armies in the northwest have been destroyed, it can only be the South Route Army of the Ming Dynasty. The only elite heavy cavalry in the South Route Army is the Li family's Liaodong Iron Cavalry!"

When Huang Taiji said the words "Liaodong Iron Cavalry", it brought back the unbearable past.

The Li family's Liaodong cavalry is a very painful memory for the Jurchens.

Once upon a time, the tribes outside the pass could only survive under the power of the Li family's "Liaodong Iron Cavalry"!

"Li Rubai", it seems that the Li family is still determined to give up!
It's a pity that Li Chengliang is dead, and Liaodong is no longer an era where the Li family can dominate the world with one hand.

Nurhachi said: "Amin's brother Jilharang took over the Xianglan Banner and stayed behind in Hetuala. Except for the Xianglan Banner, the other flags are heading towards Crow Falcon Pass. I want to meet Li Rubai for a while!"
