Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three: Big Break Nine
"Is it going to rain?"
Looking up at the cloudless sky above, many of the charging Jianzhou troops couldn't help but look puzzled.
But this kind of doubt only lasted for a moment. Now is the time to hunt down the nine coalition forces, no matter if it rains or not!
‘Firearms? The Ming army participated in the war?’
Unlike ordinary Jianzhou sergeants, Nuerhachi, who had served in the Liaodong Army under Li Chengliang for several years, immediately recognized the sound of a firearm exploding.
When he heard the explosion of the firearm, Nuerhachi's first reaction was that the Ming army had joined the war, and a trace of gloom immediately crept into his mind.
However, a moment later, Nuerhachi, who looked around the battlefield, did not find the Ming army. Only clouds of gunpowder smoke emerged from time to time along the escape route of Sergeant Ye Hebu.
"Hmph! E Yidu, you and your people will help me hunt down Ye Hebu with all your strength!"
Seeing that Ming Dynasty firearms appeared in Ye He's tribe, Nu'er Hachi, who believed that Ye He's tribe had colluded with the Ming army, suddenly couldn't help but his face darkened, and then he issued a key to 'take care of' Ye He, even to those around him.
command.
The reason why we focus on dealing with the Ye He tribe is, firstly, because Ye He 'colluded' with an outsider from the Ming Dynasty; secondly, because the Ye He tribe is the most powerful of the four Haixi tribes.
As long as this most powerful one is weakened and the four Hercynian tribes have a balanced power, not only will they no longer be able to pose a threat to themselves, but it will also be conducive to their future annexation.
What's more, the Jianzhou Army only had 10,000 troops, so it was natural for them to concentrate their forces and defeat them one by one!
Speaking of which, since the beginning of the army, through the practice of war, Nuerhachi has gradually formed his own characteristics of using troops, which is to 'set up an ambush according to danger, take advantage of the neighbors' work, concentrate their strength, and attack one point'.
In the original history, in the Battle of Sarhu more than 20 years later, Nuerhachi took this feature to the extreme and defeated more than 200,000 Ming troops.
It can be said that this time the Battle of Gule Mountain was a preview of the Battle of Saarhu decades later.
Of course, in this time and space, with the emergence of Wang Bing, a time traveler, it is still uncertain whether Nuer Hechi can survive until then, so let alone the Battle of Saarhu!
…
"Herod!"
"Quick, save me, I'm going to fall in!"
Just when Nuerhachi ordered a key attack on the Yehe tribe, on the battlefield, among the nine coalition forces scrambling to escape under the cover of the Jianzhou Army, the leader of the Tartar Horqin Tribe, Ming'an, escaped after his bodyguards.
Under such circumstances, he panicked and fell into a quagmire, including people and horses.
However, at this moment, under the pursuit of the Jianzhou Army, the nine coalition forces, who have long been busy with themselves, who would care about whether he is a good person or not, are running for their lives!
"Damn it, I will punish you severely when I get back!"
It is said that human potential is unlimited, but seeing that no one paid attention to him, and the Jianzhou Army behind him was getting closer and closer, in desperation, Ming'an had an idea and came up with a way to save himself.
Then, he was caught in the quagmire. Before all the horses were sunk, he immediately began to take off his clothes quickly.
A moment later, after stripping himself like a naked pig, Ming'an unfolded his clothes and spread them on the mire. Relying on the increased buoyancy of his clothes, he slowly climbed out of the mire.
However, just when he finally climbed out of the mire and was about to strip the clothes from the corpse on the ground, the Jianzhou Army behind him had already caught up.
In this way, between dignity and a small life, Ming'an chose the small life very wisely.
Therefore, at this moment, he didn't even bother taking off his clothes to cover up his ugly appearance. He climbed onto a bare horse that was also saddleless and ran away quickly for his life.
To say that this Ming'an is worthy of being a Tatar who grew up on horseback. Covered in mud and relying on a bare horse without a saddle, he managed to escape amidst the ridicule of the Jianzhou Army.
Chased and killed.
But not everyone is as lucky as Ming'an! Not long after Ming'an escaped from the siege of the Jianzhou Army naked, the brother of the leader of the Ula tribe, as the son-in-law of the Yehe tribe, led three thousand soldiers of the tribe to join the battle.
Bu Zhantai, at this moment, his wife failed to marry him. Instead, he became a prisoner and was captured alive by the Jianzhou Army!
At this point, the nine-department coalition's attack on Jianzhou was a complete failure.
However, although the Nine Tribes Alliance had been defeated, Nuerhachi had no intention of letting them go so easily, especially the Ye He Tribe who had 'colluded' with the Ming Dynasty and initiated the initial Nine Tribes Alliance.
Therefore, after capturing Buzhantai alive, under the strict orders of Nuerhachi, the Jianzhou Army who chased out of the Gule Mountain Pass did not even collect the various materials dropped by the nine coalition forces, and continued to move towards the retreating army without stopping.
The nine coalition forces chased and killed him.
…
"Where are we now? Where is the big leader?"
Just as Nuerhaci led the Jianzhou Army to pursue him, the second leader of the Yehe tribe, Nalinbu, who was also the commander of the coalition forces, had escaped far away from Gule Mountain under the protection of his personal guards.
Finally, Youyou woke up and turned around.
"Master Beile, we have escaped from the siege of the Jianzhou Army. However, the corpse of the big leader... is useless for the slaves to wait, let the Jianzhou Army snatch it away!"
Speaking of Bu Zhai, several of the guards lowered their heads in shame.
"Forget it, I can't blame you for that situation! How many of us are left now?"
Sighing, Nalimbu could only suppress the grief in his heart and asked about Ye Hebu's situation.
"Fortunately, Lord Beile was wise and left people to support him outside the mountain pass. Although this battle was defeated, our Yehe tribe's losses were not too great. We only lost more than a thousand people, and most of the soldiers escaped.
…”
"Thirty thousand versus ten thousand, defeated so miserably, what else can you do to be wise?"
Narimbu couldn't help but feel ashamed of his subordinates' compliments.
"Master Beile, it's not your fault. If it weren't for the fact that most of the leaders didn't obey your orders, how could we have been ambushed by Nuerhachi?"
He almost said it, but for Bu Zhai's disobedience to orders and the reckless charge of his troops into Mount Gule's bodyguards, he quickly changed his tune when the words came to his lips.
"Master Beile, the Jianzhou Army is still chasing after you, which way should we go home?"
In order to distract Nalimbu?, the bodyguard of the same name quickly asked about the escape route.
"Let's go... uh, let's go west, to Fushun Pass, where the Han people live, and go back to Yehebu along the Great Wall!"
I was originally planning to take the flat Huifabu back to Yehe's Nalinbu?, but when the words came to my lips, I suddenly felt a move in my heart and temporarily changed my direction. I abandoned the easier Huifabu and took Jiubu.
