A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The battle was over, and the battle was over.

(The main character's infantry armor)

When more than 500 Houjin cavalrymen chased Lu Cheng and completely entered a mountain road, a loud arrow shot up into the sky, and some boulders suddenly rolled down the hillside at the back of the Houjin cavalry, blocking their retreat.

Then, a rain of arrows shot out from the hillsides on both sides, and the Houjin cavalry caught in the middle suffered heavy losses.

After a panic, the Houjin cavalry saw that the mountain road behind them was blocked, and they rushed forward one after another.

However, not far after they rushed out, a half-horse rope rose from the ground, and people and horses immediately fell on the field.

The cavalry behind had no time to stop, and they collided with the cavalry in front one after another.

The Ming archers on the hillsides on both sides would not stop. They shot arrows from a high position, and the Houjin cavalry fell one after another. The screams of the cavalry and the neighing of the horses resounded throughout the valley.

There is no doubt that this was a perfect ambush and ambush. Lu Cheng had almost no casualties and directly wiped out this group of Houjin cavalry.

During this period, some Houjin cavalry abandoned their horses and fled from the hillsides on both sides, but were ruthlessly assassinated.

Even if a few of them escaped from this valley by chance, there were still Lu Cheng's cavalry wandering around outside, shooting those who escaped one by one.

In the end, a total of more than 550 Houjin cavalry were basically all killed, leaving no one alive.

It is a bit regrettable that most of the more than 500 horses were damaged.

After all, bows and arrows have no eyes, and horses are bigger targets than people, so they are easily shot by archers on both sides.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng immediately sent people to clean up the battlefield and informed the news here to other generals.

In just one day and one night, Lu Cheng had caused such a huge loss to the Later Jin, and would definitely attract the Later Jin army later.

Although this valley is very suitable for ambushes, if the Later Jin sent 10,000 or even more enemy troops to besiege, Lu Cheng's 2,000 soldiers would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Therefore, Lu Cheng made a prompt decision and ordered the withdrawal of troops overnight.

Of course, Lu Cheng did not forget to inform the friendly forces of this news.

In fact, after making certain gains, the other generals also withdrew their troops.

After all, no one wants to face the crazy revenge of the enemy. Now the entire Liaodong has no strength to fight the Later Jin.

Even some generals have withdrawn to their respective camps during the day.

This time, Lu Cheng's side captured more than 1,300 adult male Tatar heads alone, of which more than 700 were real cavalry, which is comparable to the gains of a large-scale battle between the Ming and Qing armies.

At present, the total strength of the entire Houjin is less than 100,000.

With this harvest, Lu Cheng, the commander, must be promoted.

After retreating all the way back to Haizhouwei, Lu Cheng immediately organized soldiers, arranged defenses, and moved all kinds of city defense materials to the top of the city. More than 100 reconnaissance cavalry were sent out to keep an eye on the movements of Houjin at any time.

At the same time, Lu Cheng also sent more than 1,300 Jiannu heads to Liaoyang.

Lu Cheng also received some news that General He Shixian successfully attacked a Houjin tribe and successfully lured the enemy deep into the territory, beheading 283 Tatar heads.

General Chai Guozhu also successfully attacked a Houjin tribe, but when returning, he encountered a group of Houjin cavalry, fighting a battle between the two sides, beheading 86 people and losing more than 100 cavalry.

General Li Huaixin successfully surrounded and annihilated a group of Houjin cavalry, killing 105 enemies.

As for the rest of the generals and lieutenants, although they also mobilized a lot of troops, the number of enemies killed in the end was very small, and some even lost money.

Even if the tactics are good, if the generals do not command well and the soldiers under their command are not strong, everything will be in vain.

Even the total number of heads captured by the generals and lieutenants except Lu Cheng is less than half of Lu Cheng's.

But no matter what, this action was able to behead 2,000 people and successfully destroy the Jiannu's harassment plan, which is already a great victory.

Xiong Tingbi also immediately wrote to the court to commend his generals.

In terms of promoting and appointing generals, Xiong Tingbi will never be vague. As long as it is your credit, he will definitely report it to you without a deduction.

After all, Xiong Tingbi is a civil servant who coordinates the entire Liaodong. As long as the generals under his command can win the battle, the final total will be

It was his credit.

Of course, while writing a letter to praise his merits, Xiong Tingbi also immediately organized the entire Liaodong, contracted the troops, and narrowed the defense circle to deal with the revenge of the Later Jin.

In fact, the Later Jin was also recovering and accumulating strength at this time.

Although the Later Jin is now in the limelight, it is still a little weak, with limited population and troops.

Last year, at the beginning of the year, the Later Jin mobilized the national troops and fought the Battle of Sarhu. Although it directly shook the foundation of Liaodong, the Later Jin’s own losses were not small.

Next, the Later Jin attacked Kaiyuan, Tieling, Beiguan, etc. successively. Because it was a siege war, the Later Jin also suffered a lot of casualties.

The casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty were not a big deal. With a huge population base, new soldiers and horses can be recruited at any time, and troops can be drawn from all over the country.

The casualties of a few thousand people in the Later Jin, even if they were serious injuries, could not be replenished for a period of time.

Therefore, after conquering Kaiyuan, Tieling, Fushun and other places, the Later Jin did not occupy the city, but just looted and slaughtered, and then withdrew.

If the Later Jin really divided its troops to garrison the city at this time, Liaodong would be happy.

This is also the reason why the Later Jin saw Xiong Tingbi organizing and building defenses, and did not take advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty’s defenses were not yet established, and only sent troops to harass.

After the two sides harassed each other, the Ming Dynasty could still bear the losses, and the Later Jin would definitely be the first to fail.

In the field battle, the Ming Dynasty was still a little weak, and the Ming Dynasty was absolutely not afraid of playing consumption and competing in numbers.

It’s just that many generals in Liaodong did not see this and were pessimistic.

But after such a toss, Nurhaci had to fight even if he didn’t want to.

Especially when Nurhaci got the news that the Ming army generals who led the army to slaughter two Houjin tribes in succession were the ones who had penetrated into Houjin and killed Fan Wencheng and Li Yongfang, Nurhaci also made a prompt decision and assembled 50,000 troops to directly attack Haizhouwei.

In Nurhaci's view, the main armies of the Ming Dynasty were distributed in the two main cities of Liaoyang and Shenyang. The four guards in southern Liaoning, including Haizhouwei, Gaizhouwei, Fuzhouwei, and Jinzhouwei, did not have many troops. It was much easier to capture Haizhouwei than to attack Liaoyang and Shenyang.

If Liaoyang and Shenyang sent troops to rescue Haizhouwei, they could just surround and attack the reinforcements, fight a decisive battle with the Ming army in the field, and eliminate the living forces of the Ming army.

Moreover, this move was also to retaliate against Lu Cheng and eliminate Lu Cheng, a general who might grow into a threat to Houjin, in the bud.

Therefore, this time the Houjin army directly changed the previous marching direction from north to south, bypassing Liaoyang directly and marching into Haizhouwei.

Lu Cheng also got the direction of the Later Jin's advance through scouts at the first time, and then immediately sent a message to Xiong Tingbi, asking him not to send troops to rescue for the time being, and wait until Nurhaci's siege was frustrated, and then attack the Later Jin army from the front and back.

After receiving the message, Xiong Tingbi also admired Lu Cheng's boldness, agreed with Lu Cheng's tactical policy, and kept an eye on the situation of Haizhouwei at any time.

In late May, Nurhaci's 50,000 troops arrived at Haizhou City. Then, Nurhaci immediately ordered 20,000 troops to camp in two places in the north to prevent the Ming army from rescuing Haizhouwei. The remaining 30,000 troops were stationed outside Haizhou City, building siege equipment and preparing to attack the city.

In this regard, Lu Cheng was not afraid at all. He sat firmly on the top of the city and observed the Later Jin camp through a telescope.

At this time, Nurhaci's camp was less than five miles away from Haizhou City, but it was also out of the range of the artillery on the top of the city.

Of course, Lu Cheng did not expect the solid iron balls fired by the cannons on the top of the city to have any effect.

If Lu Cheng wanted, he could hide in the forest outside the city, and use the AUG rifle's accurate shooting within 500 meters to find an opportunity to snipe Nurhaci.

But killing Nurhaci now would not bring Lu Cheng the greatest benefit.

Although Nurhaci was good at fighting, his level of governing the country was average. In comparison, Huang Taiji was more talented in governing the country.

Moreover, with the external threat of the Later Jin, Lu Cheng could better develop in Liaodong...
