Chapter 176 The cooked duck flew away

Chapter 175

Huang Taiji was inexplicably sad and angry. Two Baile died at the hands of the enemy. Dajin had been in Liaodong for decades, but had it ever fought such a tragic battle?

The answer is no.

However, when he ascended the throne, he fought such a defeat. This was no longer as simple as defeat, it was simply a crushing defeat, a total defeat!

The most unacceptable thing is that in this battle, the Ming army did not play any tricks, did not use any conspiracies, and did not even defend the city. Instead, they met for the first time and fought in formation on the Great Plains, relying on their

Courage and desire to win defeated Dai Jin head-on.

Such a failure is even more unacceptable than the most despicable conspiracy, because it means that the Ming army has defeated the Jurchen warriors for the first time in terms of force and courage. Dajin has used countless bloody battles and countless victories to create the "

The Jurchens' illustrious reputation as "invincible" has been completely shattered!

What will be the consequences after the reputation of "Jurchens are absolutely invincible" is shattered?

Mongolia is alienated, North Korea is alienated, Sauron is alienated, and even those coated slaves have strange thoughts. This is the consequence after the credibility of deterrence is shattered!

The evil consequences have already appeared. On their way to retreat to Liao Zhongwei, Mongolian and Korean soldiers continued to flee and surrender to the Ming army. At first, the scale was not large. As time went by, the number of deserters increased.

Later, all the 15,000 Mongolian troops who survived the bloody battle had fled. Even the North Korean and Han-clad slaves, who were originally as obedient as dogs, also fled one after another. They killed many people but could not stem the tide.

The troops they now command can no longer be called a combat-effective army!

The consequences of losing deterrence are so terrible!

"Cheng Shijie!!!"

Huang Taiji suppressed his anger because he was afraid that others would see this scene and see his incompetent rage.

"I won't run away anymore, I'm going to fight Ming Gou!"

Hauge was so tired that he stuck out his tongue.

Huang Taiji looked at the exhausted soldiers around him, took a deep breath, and prepared words to boost morale. He would fight more with fewer, and even a small victory would be enough to boost morale.

However, the problem is that in the area far away from the Liaozhongwei City, Huang Taiji was preparing to gather his elite troops, that is, the elite troops of the Zhenghuang Banner who had not participated in the war, to kill the leading troops of the Ming army.

Just as Huang Taiji was about to give an order, Dorgon caught up with him: "King Khan!"

"Fourteenth brother, how are you?"

"Ming, Ming...Ming dog reinforcements are coming again!"

Huang Taiji asked in confusion: "Where did they get the reinforcements from?"

"Looking at the flag, it has the characters "ancestor" and "wu" in it. It should be Guan Ningjun!"

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said: "Zu Dashu! Wu Xiang!"

"Yes, it should be the two of them!"

"How many people did they come?"

"There are seven or eight thousand people anyway!"

Dorgon's eyes were bloodshot: "King Khan, what should we do now?"

what to do?

Huang Taiji didn't know what to do. Along the way, large numbers of soldiers from the Dajin army kept fleeing. The total number of those who fled and those who died of illness and starvation totaled more than ten to twenty thousand. Those who are still with them are still with them.

Only 40,000 people came. In other words, a hundred thousand troops went out and lost two-thirds.

These 40,000 people are already outnumbered and have suffered a huge defeat. The enemy troops with high morale are chasing after them. Their morale has been very low. Now they are outnumbered and have no food and grass. The Ming army will arrive soon. Who knows what? manage!

Hauge roared at the back: "Despicable! Shameless! Come up and fight us to the death if you can! You shameless dogs!"

"Shut up, save your energy and prepare to fight. That mad dog is right behind us. Do you think he will miss such a good opportunity?"

Hauge roared: "What else is there to think about? Just fight to the death!"

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said: "Kill the sick and weak horses, feed the whole army, and fight to the death with the Ming army!"

A group of Zijia La'erzhen and Niu Lu'erzhen looked sad. They all knew that the last moment had come. The food reserves in the army were not enough to support more than 40,000 hungry soldiers back to Shenyang. If no miracle happened, I'm afraid, here, This is their burial place!

All Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers gritted their teeth, clasped their fists and responded: "Cha!"

The Jiannu army stopped at the foot of Liao Zhongwei City and built a defense line based on the terrain. Six to seven hundred sickly horses were brought over and felled with a sword. The horses screamed one after another, resounding through the sky, making countless Jiannu soldiers feel miserable.

They have been fighting for so many years, and they have never been forced by the enemy to kill their horses! This time, Cheng Shijie has set a record. No matter whether the battle is won or lost, those who survive will never forget it. shame!

However, just as Jiannu was preparing for the battle, the exhausted Ming cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry that had just surrendered to the Ming army hurriedly turned around, ran towards the rear, and soon disappeared.

Huang Taiji simply cried with joy: "God bless you!"

Less than sixty miles away from the Liaozhong Acropolis, the Ming army had stopped its pursuit. They deployed a huge hedgehog formation to prevent Jian Nu from raiding, and also from Guan Ning's army acting as Jian Nu's internal support.

This cannot be blamed on Cheng Shijie being too cautious. During the Battle of Daling River, no fool would believe that Wu Xiang did not play any conspiracy. In fact, watching Wu Sangui leading more than 5,000 cavalry Wu Clan Guan Ning's army arrived, Zu Dabi He Zu Dale's reaction was even more intense than that of Cheng Shijie. They did not care about pursuing Jian Nu, but instead set up their positions and were ready to charge at Wu Clan Guan Ning's army at any time.

Zhang Yu said in confusion: "Why are they here?"

Shen Mingyu said angrily: "Let's take the credit!"

"Stealing credit?"

Zhang Yu looked disdainful: "Just them?"

Zhang Yu hurriedly said to Cheng Shijie: "Commander, the last general invites you to fight!"

"Wait a minute!"

Cheng Shijie waved his hand and said, "Let's see what they want to do!"

Not long after, Wu Sangui led dozens of Wu's servants to come to Cheng Shijie.

"General, I will pay my respects to Cheng Shuai!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Wu Sangui and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Wu Sangui was very dissatisfied with Cheng Shijie's disdainful attitude, but thinking of Wu Xiang's repeated explanations, he had to lower his attitude: "Cheng Shuai, we are now suspected of stealing credit, but Cheng Shuai, please believe that what we have brought All of the five thousand cavalrymen have fought against Jiannu with real swords and guns on the banks of the Daling River. We really want to have a good fight with Jiannu again!"

As he spoke, Wu Sangui slowly took off his armor.

As Wu Sangui took off his armor and exposed his upper body, his chest was indeed scarred, with three or four scars criss-crossing it. Then, more than 5,000 cavalrymen of Wu's Guanning Army also exposed their upper body.

Most of these Wu's servants had scars on their chests, but their backs were bare and without scars.

Cheng Shijie was defeated by Wu Sangui.

Cheng Shijie had no choice but to step forward and said: "General Xiao Wu, what are you doing? Put on your clothes quickly and don't catch a cold!"

The more than 5,000 customs cavalrymen stood motionless in the cold wind.

Cheng Shijie stepped forward to support Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui said: "Please Cheng Shuai make it happen!"

"To be honest, when I see your flag, I really want you to go back wherever you hit me, but... forget it!"

Cheng Shijie did know that Wu Sangui was a hard-core traitor, but the problem was that that was only the Wu Sangui in history. After all, the incident had not happened yet, and Wu Sangui did not surrender to the enemy and become a traitor now.

Secondly, at this juncture, it is actually not easy to have a conflict with Guan Ning's army. The more conflicts there are, the easier it will be to establish slaves. Cheng Shijie originally wanted to show off and secretly let the situation go, but now it is time to pass the blame.

It would be very embarrassing if Guan Ning's army released the truth under the pretext of pursuing the slave establishment, and Cheng Shijie would have an honest reason to deal with Wu Sangui.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shijie said: "Nian, you and the others are all staunch heroes. I will turn a blind eye this time and let it pass. I will give you a chance to fight and give you a share of the battle achievements. But if next time

If you preserve your strength, don’t blame me for not giving you face, this is a national war, everyone must try their best!"

Wu Sangui said: "Cheng Shuai, don't worry, as long as Cheng Shuai opens his mouth next time, Guan Ning's cavalry will definitely arrive at dawn and dusk, and come to meet him as soon as possible.

Cheng Shuai, in fact, my father still wanted to go to war this time, but there were a few bastards who kept talking in front of him about conserving strength and other nonsense, which made him hesitate, so that he wasted a good opportunity to fight. Next

If those birdmen dare to be wordy again, I will kill them one by one!"

"Stop talking nonsense and follow up! Jiannu is in front. They are tired and hungry. They can't run anymore. It's time to take revenge. The time has come to take revenge. How did they bully you before?

Beat him back sharply!"

Cheng Shijie looked at the writing paper in his hand. It was a gift list, which read: "Six hundred thousand taels of silver and two thousand cattle!"

Of course Guan Ning's army was rich, with an annual Liao salary of seven million taels. After seven or eight deductions, they had three to four million taels of silver in their hands, which was more than the total fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty in a year, and each of these cavalrymen

Individuals have dozens or even hundreds of acres of land under their names. They have no money. Who has money?

Although they felt a little unhappy, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted when they saw the five thousand well-equipped and murderous Guan Ning cavalry following up.

Although Guan Ningjun is here to pick peaches, having such an elite friendly force is not a bad thing.

Although the Liaozhong Acropolis is a small and dilapidated city, no matter how dilapidated the city is, it can still replenish certain supplies for the Jiannu slaves who were suffering from horse shortage. These sleepy and tired Jiannu slaves finally managed to drink a sip of hot water and eat.

Order horse meat.

But just as they were preparing to rest, the sound of bull horns was heard outside the city, and then the slave-building soldiers guarding the Liaozhong Guard City saw a black line appear on the horizon. As time went by, this black line became smaller and smaller.

The thicker.
