Wanli 1592

Chapter 1044

Eight miles west of Hetuala, there is a mountain called Zaotu Mountain, also known as Chimney Mountain, which lies on the west side of Hetuala City and protects the small city.

This mountain became the natural barrier of Hetuala. Qin Jun marched eastward along the Suzi River, and he would inevitably pass Chimney Mountain, and this mountain was the last barrier of Hetuala.

Nurhachi gathered all his troops, leaving [-] strong men behind, and let them slowly move to the south. He led his troops to Chimney Mountain to deploy defenses, and prepared to use the terrain of Chimney Mountain to fight the Qin army to the death.

Chu Ying's rebellious son is determined to face his biological father with a sword, and Nurhachi has no choice but to fight.

Two of the five generals under him have lost, and there are three left. Each of them is a brave and resourceful person. Under their leadership, the morale of the Jianzhou Army is high. If they work hard enough, it may not be impossible to win. After all, it is home Combat, and the Qin army came from afar, food is also a big problem.

Nurhachi imagined fighting in Chimney Mountain for a while, and then fighting in Hetuala for a while, gradually dragging down the Qin army's logistics, forcing the Qin army to retreat, and then he led his troops to cover up and kill.

Dealing with the Qin Army cannot be expected to be the same as dealing with the Nine Allied Forces. The Qin Army has a clear command and there are no loopholes in the command system. It is meaningless to hope for their internal strife.

Nurhachi moved his family out, took all the weapons he bought from the Qin Army, seized weapons from the Nine Allied Forces, and some weapons from the Liaodong Army, and tried his best to give them to the troops. Armed, the rest really don't have any weapons, so they are barely armed with wooden sticks and the like to strengthen their momentum.

You can't lose to the Qin army in terms of momentum, otherwise you will lose the battle before it is fought.

The Qin army marched unhurriedly, fighting steadily at every step, and rushed towards Jianzhou with the momentum of Mount Tai. It was so powerful that it broke through several villages along the way. Jianzhou was almost powerless to fight back, so its morale was high.

On the morning of September [-]th, the Qin army arrived at the west side of Chimney Mountain. Ma Chong observed the situation of Chimney Mountain with a telescope and found that the Jianzhou Army had indeed concentrated its main force here. Things like traps and potholes that hinder the march, there are a lot of pennants, and there are also a lot of soldiers that can be seen.

Obviously, this is not a strategy, but the real main force, and the intelligence is correct.

"Chu Ying, this battle should be a decisive battle. There are no eyes on the battlefield. It is impossible for our army to hold back. You must be mentally prepared."

Ma Chong called Chu Ying and explained to him the cruelty of war, so that he could not accept the result of a large number of people being killed.

Chu Ying nodded, expressing that she was very clear.

"I know everything, General Ma, don't worry about me, I'm prepared, I can accept it, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"I want to finally send someone to send a message to the Jianzhou Army, and make one last attempt."

Chu Ying asked Ma Chong for permission.

"try?"

Ma Chong was a little strange: "What attempt?"

"The Daqin army only sinned against the four slaves Ha Chi, E Yidu, An Feiyanggu and Fei Yingdong, and everyone else can live. As long as they hand over these four people, everyone else can survive and become the people of Daqin !"

Ma Chong looked at Luo Rong, and Luo Rong also looked at Ma Chong.

Really nothing to say.

"Okay, you can do it!"

It would be a good thing for the Qin army if it can disturb the mind of the Jianzhou army before the battle. In ancient tactics, there is a tactic of encircling the three and missing one. , Bringing huge damage to the army, this method of recruiting and surrendering is actually a psychological encirclement.

Give them the hope of surviving, and then see how they choose.

Not ingenious.

At this time, a young general next to Ma Chong suddenly asked Chu Ying: "General Chu, does he know if there is a path around here that can bypass this mountain?"

Ma Chong turned his head and looked at the young general. Seeing that it was his own general, Mao Wenlong, he asked, "Mao Wenlong, what do you mean by asking? Is there any good way?"

Mao Wenlong joined the army in Hangzhou. He was only 20 years old at the time. He quickly stood out because of his literacy. After Xiao Ruxun arrived in Nanjing, he was sent to Nanjing to join Xiao Ruxun's main Northern Expeditionary Army.

Later, he was assigned to Ma Chong's subordinates as a literate soldier, and because he had read military books and was smarter, he was appreciated by Ma Chong, and he was gradually promoted to an officer and kept with him.

Ma Chong admired this young man who could read and write very much. Knowing that he was always very smart, he took the initiative to ask him why.

Mao Wenlong clasped his fists and said: "Before we received information that in order to concentrate on fighting the enemy, Nuerhachi moved all the Jianzhou people to the south for refuge, and stayed behind to fight us wholeheartedly. This is certainly a good strategy, but if these tribes behind them If something goes wrong, the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of us will collapse immediately, right?"

Ma Chong frowned.

"You mean to say..."

"The last general asked a cavalry to go around this mountain and attack the Jianzhou tribe. He didn't want to destroy them, but only wanted to attack and kill some of them, causing chaos and sending people back to report to Nuerhachi, so as to shake the morale of the army. Make the army's morale collapse.

Cooperating with General Chu's persuasion to surrender, we can achieve unexpected results. There is no need for our army to fight against it. The more than 3 Jianzhou soldiers are not good at nothing. If we force them down, our army may lose more than one or two thousand. "

Ma Chong and Luo Rong were stunned by Mao Wenlong's words, and after a while, they looked at Chu Ying together again.

I don't know whether Chu Ying is willing to accept this result.

After a while, Chu Ying gritted her teeth.

"If you can get them to surrender as soon as possible, the price is nothing. General Mao, there is a way around this mountain, but it takes a big circle to get back to the rear. The road is far away and the road is not easy to walk, but the Jianzhou soldiers There must be no defense, are you willing to take a trip?"

"Stick what you want!"

Mao Wenlong cupped his hands, his face full of confidence.

Ma Chong raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.

"Okay, Mao Wenlong, I will give you two thousand elite cavalry, and you will take them to attack the Jianzhou tribe. Are you sure you will win?"

Mao Wenlong dismounted and knelt on the ground on one knee: "If you lose, please behead my head!"

"it is good!"

Ma Chong immediately issued a military order, allocating [-] cavalry to Mao Wenlong, and let Mao Wenlong lead them to attack the Jianzhou tribe.

Chu Ying's envoy soon came to the camp of the Jianzhou Army and conveyed Chu Ying's intention to persuade the Jianzhou Army to surrender.

"General Chu said that as long as Jianzhou handed over Tong Nuerhachi, E Yidu, An Fei Yanggu and Fei Yingdong, the others would survive. The Emperor Qin only blamed these four, and the others Everyone can live, and everyone can be forgiven!"

After the envoy's words were delivered, Nurhachi's central army tent fell into dead silence.

Er Yidu, An Fei Yanggu and Fei Yingdong all looked at Nurhachi in surprise, and Nurhachi also looked surprised.

Afterwards, Nurhachi felt a strange look.
