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

Chapter 95: Harvesting Sister Flowers (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)
Seeing that Xianglan Banner finally had the advantage in Nanguan, Jierhalang also showed a long-lost smile.

Although his Xianglan Banner is likely to be crippled again in this battle, if he can capture Nanguan and seize the rich Kaiyuan Road for Dajin, these sacrifices will be worth it.

At Nanguan Pass, guerrilla Yu Hualong said to a few soldiers: "If you don't quickly cover Yan Jianjun's descent into the city, we will soon be unable to defend this place."

However, Yan Mingtai rejected his kindness and said that he would live and die with the soldiers.

Then he said to the gunner: "If Nanguan cannot be defended anymore, smash the last batch of gunpowder cans and light these gunpowder barrels. You must not leave the artillery to the Tatars!"

At this time, the fighting in the city became fierce again, and reinforcements from all walks of life in Kaiyuan finally arrived!

First, guard He Maoguan led eight hundred Ming troops to the city for support, and then Beiguan guerrilla Liu Dayu also led more than a thousand Ming troops to rush over.

The arrival of the two supporting armies greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army in the city, and they, who were originally in decline, took advantage of the situation to counterattack.

At this time, Mao Wenlong was like a god of death, constantly waving the long knife in his hand, and the Tatars fell to the ground wherever the blade passed.

Taking advantage of the Tatars' retreat, Yan Mingtai shouted: "Throw the fire oil cans under the city!"

Soon the sound of clay pots being broken was heard from the city.

After all, Tatar had been burned several times. When he saw a jar falling down, he immediately ran away, fearing that he would become a roasted pig if he ran too slowly.

Soon there was a sea of ​​fire below the city, and the siege ladders burned again.

This means that it is impossible for any reinforcements to come to the city in a short period of time. The remaining Tatars in the city have no hope and their morale has plummeted. After resisting for a while, they were strangled by several Ming troops.

Of course, the price paid by the Ming army was also quite huge.

Originally, after Yu Hualong led his troops to support, the Ming army in Nanguan Pass had been supplemented to 3700 people.

But with Geng Yue's introduction of the pass and the two waves of siege by Xianglan Banner, there are now only 1300 people left, a full reduction of two-thirds.

Fortunately, reinforcements from all walks of life arrived one after another, and now the strength of Nanguan's troops has been restored to 6700.

Especially the 700 bird cannons brought by the Pinglu Guards and Tieling Guards, which brought the number of Rumi cannons and bird cannons on the city to 900, which is already a quite terrifying number.

Soon after, Kaiyuan Zhizhou Zhang Wenbing came here with two thousand young men, as well as the most urgently needed fire oil and other supplies in Nanguan.

After learning that Nanguan was attacked by tens of thousands of rebels, Zhang Wenbing immediately borrowed supplies from ordinary merchants in the city in the name of the state capital and recruited young men to help in the battle. The gentry and common people in Kaiyuan responded one after another.

After all, they are all aware of the tragic situation in Fushun and Qinghe last year. If Nanguan fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

After losing 3000 men, Xianglan Banner also lost the ability to continue attacking the city.

Nurhachi, who was watching the battle from behind, looked livid and said nothing at this time.

After several rounds of siege battles, more than 5000 Eight Banners were lost, which made all his previous efforts to replenish troops come to nothing.

The two blue flags were defeated again.

Judging from the current situation, reinforcements from the Ming Kingdom have arrived at Nanguan.

At this time, he is also in a dilemma.

If he withdraws his troops at this point, not to mention the huge losses caused by the previous siege, which will be difficult to make up for, his reputation will also plummet.

Keep fighting, I wonder how many more soldiers and horses need to be filled in?

If they can't win it in a short time and have to face Li Xianzhong's Liaodong Cavalry, the risk is too great.

Huang Taiji was silent at this time, and his instinct told him that they should stop their losses in time.

According to the news just sent from Tanma, Shenyang's reinforcements have also moved north, and the Ming army at Fushun Pass is also showing signs of leaving.

But he couldn't say this, because once he brought it up, not only would the Great Khan not agree, but he would also become the target of verbal and verbal criticism from the banner leaders, Baylor, and they would even blame all the blame for the defeat on himself.

In fact, the person who was most determined to go to war with the Ming Dynasty among the Later Jin Dynasty was not Nurhaci, but Dabeile Daishan.

Before the attack on Fushun last year and the previous battle in Sarhu, Nurhachi hesitated. Each time, it was with Daishan's support that he strengthened his determination to go to war with the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Shi Shan said: "Great Khan, there is no turning back when you fire your bow. I am willing to lead the two red flags to fight again, and I will definitely win Nanguan!"

Mang Gurtai also said: "I am willing to help Da Baylor!"

Soon, Jianlu's army gathered under Nanguan again.

Following Daishan's order, a group of Eight Banners soldiers wearing red armor quickly charged towards Nanguan.

At this time, the Ming army in Nanguan could be said to have strong soldiers and strong firepower.

Soon they started a new round of competition.

The two sides of Ming Dynasty and Jin Dynasty were fighting in front of Guangshun Pass when the sky was dark and the earth was dark.

However, Li Xianzhong still knew nothing about it. At this time, he and Zaisai were attacking the Mongolian Horqin tribe's lair.

Horqin means archer or guard with bow and arrow in Mongolian. It is a tribe led by the descendants of Habtu Hassar, Genghis Khan's younger brother.

Today's Horqin is affiliated with Monan Mongolia. Although it still respects Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe on the surface, it is actually in an independent state.

Lin Dan Khan was simply unable to mobilize Horqin's various ministries, and he had already intended to conquer.

The Chaohua Department where Zasai was located belonged to the Inner Kalkha Mongolia and took orders from Lin Dan Khan.Therefore, his attack on Horqin this time will not only not arouse Lin Danhan's dissatisfaction, but may also get Lin Danhan's commendation.

In fact, Horqin is also composed of many tribes, mainly divided into left and right wings.

Ming'an was just a Baylor on Horqin's left wing. At this time, there were at least a few people in Horqin's tribe who were of equal status to him.

Including his two brothers, Mangus and Honggor, who were on Horqin's left wing, and his cousin Oba, who was on Horqin's right wing.

Among them, Oba is the nominal boss of the Horqin tribe.But the most powerful one is Ming'an's brother Mangus.

Zaisai said: "According to reliable information, the troops sent to Yehe this time are the three Beile troops from Horqin's left wing. However, our target is not the Ming'an tribe, but the Manggus tribe."

Li Xianzhong asked with some confusion: "Why didn't you sweep all three Horqin's left armies? I wonder if Chief Zasai has no confidence in your men, or in my general's Liaodong cavalry?"

Hearing what Li Xianzhong said, Zaisai took a breath of cold air and thought that General Li had such a big appetite. There were more than [-] troops in Horqin's three left wing divisions, and they could send out [-] cavalry. He was only as strong as them. one third.

Not to mention whether it can be swallowed, if he really swallowed three parts of Horqin in one gulp, even Lin Danhan would probably be jealous.

I don’t want to become a public enemy of the grassland.

So he said: "The three tribes on Horqin's left wing have nearly 20 people. We can't eat one bite. Mangus occupies the most abundant area of ​​Horqin grassland and has the most wealth. Let's eat him first."

Li Xianzhong thought to himself, it seems that this slaughter will not be helpful to make him faint.

So he smiled and said, "Then I'll listen to you. There are too many things, and it will be troublesome for me to move them all at once!"

After running for a day and night, they finally arrived at their destination. Several people arrived on a hill outside the camp.

Looking around, there are densely packed yurts scattered on the grassland with abundant water and grass, and countless cattle and sheep inhabit the nearby pastures.

At this time, Horqin's cavalry had also begun to gather. Many cavalry were gathering together from all directions and heading in their own direction.

Obviously, the cavalry of the Manggus tribe had discovered Li Xianzhong and others who were coming to invade.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. With tens of thousands of cavalry attacking, it was impossible to conceal their whereabouts.

Judging from the size of the cavalry, there are about 4000 to 4 people. Compared with the size of the Mangus tribe of more than [-] people, the number of these cavalry is obviously mismatched, and their main force should not be here.

Soon 2500 Liaodong cavalry led by Zha Zhongwen appeared in front of the Mongols.

At this time, the rest of the cavalry had naturally surrounded the camp. It was too easy for the Liaodong cavalry to deal with these unarmored Mongolian cavalry.

Li Xianzhong said: "Chief Zaisai, I don't think we can split the division [-]-[-] in the future. My Liaodong cavalry takes the lead every time, while the Mongolian cavalry enjoys the fruits of victory on the side. This is not fair!"

Zai Sai said: "General Li's Liaodong cavalry are very powerful. My troops don't dare to take away your glory. They are only assigned to you for support."

"As for the distribution, the Mangus tribe is a famous tribe of beauties on the grassland. How about you choose the beauties this time?"

Li Xianzhong cursed secretly: Old fox, these things will be stored with you for a while. Anyway, they will eventually return to my hands through trade.

While the two were talking, the two sides were already fighting together.

Although the battlefield was filled with shouts of death and the neighing of war horses, it seemed very fierce, but it didn't take long for the winner to be decided.

Originally, the combat effectiveness of the Horqin cavalry was far inferior to that of the Liaodong cavalry, not to mention that these were not the main force.

I saw that the Liaodong cavalry easily penetrated the Mongolian formation, and the rest was basically chopping melons and vegetables.

At this time, the rest of the cavalry also killed the Horqin camp from another direction, and the battle ended in less than half an hour.

This attack was a fruitful one. Nearly [-] Horqin tribesmen were captured in this battle, and countless valuables of all kinds were captured.

Li Sanshun laughed and said: "A rough estimate is that there are about 12 taels of gold and silver jewelry this time."

Li Xianzhong said to Zaisai again: "This time I want to divide [-] horses, [-] cattle, and [-] sheep. Please trouble Chief Zaisai to drive these livestock to Xiguan for me!"

With so many livestock, it would be a pity not to have any. Li Xianzhong planned to build a pasture outside Xiguan and improve the food for the soldiers.

Soon two cute little girls caught his attention.

The eldest girl was about ten years old. Although she was not yet mature, she was obviously a beauty. With her big watery eyes and refined facial contours, Li Xianzhong couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

The younger girl is only five or six years old, but she is also quite smart and cute.

Zaisai said with a wicked smile: "These are the two granddaughters of Mangus. The older one is called Hailanzhu, and the younger one is called Bumbutai. These are a pair of beautiful sisters. If Mr. Li If you like them, you might as well accept them, and in a few years they will be slim and graceful."

Li Xianzhong didn't expect that the two people in front of him were actually them.

One is Huang Taiji's lifelong love Hai Lanzhu, and the other is the famous Xiaozhuang.

So he said: "Then I would like to thank Chief Zasai for cutting me off!"

Just when he was still imagining things, Zha Zhongwen said in a panic: "Major General, something bad has happened. The main force of the Jianlu troops is storming Guangshun Pass and they are coming out in full force. Supervisor Yan wants you to return to the army as soon as possible! "
