This is victory!
Didn't this victory come too quickly?
In his previous life, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty, who had been bullied by Huang Taiji and the Eight Banners Soldiers of Houjin (Qing Dynasty) for seventeen years, could not believe his eyes...because when he looked around, he was already a king. It was a scene of a great victory for the master and a great defeat for the slave thieves.
It seems that the leader of the slave chieftain who was killed by Sun Yuanhua's black artillery just now is really Huang Taiji! Otherwise, how could the army of tens of thousands of slaves and thieves on the other side of the Old Hamulin River collapse under the first wave of fierce attack by the Ming army?
That's a slave!
Such a powerful slave thief!
Since the old chief Nurhaci defeated the Ming army commanded by Yang Hao in Sarhu. The slave thieves had never been severely defeated by the Ming army in a real outdoor battle.
Of course there are small defeats, but there has never been a real big defeat, one with heavy losses and widespread casualties.
Even though last year's Battle of Tangzhishan ended with the victory of the Ming army, the losses to the slave thieves were not very great. The slave rebels basically retreated. It was not a defeat at all...it could even be said to be a victory - tens of thousands of slave rebels broke through the Great Wall and burned and killed all the way on the ground in Beizhili under the feet of the Emperor of Heaven. , even fought back and set fire to the Emperor's Mausoleum in Tianshou Mountain, and finally escaped unscathed. This doesn't look like a big defeat, does it?
Although there was a slight loss, it was nothing compared to the Ming army!
The Ming army "lost" hundreds of thousands of people in the two battles of Wenyushui and Changping alone!
If it were not for the sake of balancing the accounts, the losses suffered by the slave thieves in this entrance battle were less than those of the Ming army - the Ming army's losses in the Battle of Changping were indeed not small, and were greater than those suffered by the slave thieves after the entrance. There will be more losses.
Therefore, the winner of the entrance battle in the first year of Chongzhen was Huang Taiji.
But this time in the Battle of the Old Hamulin River, the Ming army truly achieved an overwhelming victory, and this victory came very easily.
The army of slave thieves on the other side of the Old Hamulin River simply collapsed. After being attacked by the Ming army's infantry and cavalry who were wading into the water, it immediately collapsed across the board - not only the center line that was bombarded collapsed, but the entire front collapsed, and a large number of The troops were all just running away, almost as if they were dispersing in droves.
Only the yellow-armored soldiers guarding the slave chief who had been hacked by black artillery had not yet collapsed. They rolled up the chief's body with a yellow flag and retreated north. They still looked like elites... ...As for the other slave thieves, they all looked panicked and collapsed.
The speed of collapse even surprised Zhu Youjian.
But he immediately thought of the reason...it must be that Huang Taiji, the great Khan of slave thieves, was hacked to death by black artillery!
Needless to say, the slave chief who was hit was Huang Taiji.
Only the killing of Huang Taiji, the slave-thief Khan, would cause the collapse of the tens of thousands of slave-thief armies.
It didn't take long for Zhu Youjian's suspicion to be confirmed.
Wei Zaode, who had been forced to go to the battlefield as Zhuge Liang before, personally led a group of infantry and escorted a group of captured Zhenghuang Banner slave thieves to Zhu Youjian.
"Long live my Lord, all the soldiers under my command are brave and brave. They not only defeated thousands of slaves and traitors, Zhenghuang Banner, but also beheaded many people and captured dozens of people alive. Now I present the prisoners to Your Majesty!"
"The reincarnation of Zhuge Liang" is still very good at bragging. It was obviously Sun Dapao's cannon that was too dark and defeated the slave thieves, but when he came to him, he became his infantry "everyone is brave and dares to fight."
"Wei Qing is indeed both civil and military, I am very pleased... After the battle, there will definitely be a heavy reward!" Zhu Youjian almost agreed, promised a heavy reward, and then rode his horse to the group of people who were being killed. The slaves who were tied up with ropes approached and asked in Mongolian: "Does any of you understand Mongolian?"
Zhu Youjian knows a lot of things, but not Manchurian. However, he speaks Mongolian fluently, and he also knows that many slaves and thieves can speak Mongolian, and some are even Mongolians... ..is the so-called Eight Banners Mongolia, so he simply asked the question in Mongolian.
The captured slave thieves were not stupid either. They all knew that Zhu Youjian was a person, so they responded one after another.
"Master, this servant understands Mongolian..."
"The slave is the bannerman of the Eight Banners Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner..."
"My slave is a Mongolian. If you have anything to say, please just ask me!"
"My lord, this slave has no choice but to take refuge in Daikin. No, he takes refuge in Jianzhou."
Are they all Mongolians?
Zhu Youjian was a little disappointed when he heard their answers. He originally wanted to capture some real slaves.
Zhu Youjian asked again: "Who is commanding you to fight against the Heavenly Soldiers today?"
"To tell you the truth, the person commanding us today is the Great Khan of Jianzhou!"
"It's Huang Taiji, the Great Khan of Jianzhou..."
It’s really Huang Taiji!
Zhu Youjian thought to himself: What a blessing from our ancestors!
"How is Huang Taiji?" Zhu Youjian asked again.
"Reply to me," a prisoner from the Eight Banners Mongolia immediately replied, "He seems to have been hit by the Ming Dynasty's artillery..."
Someone else added: "Huang Taiji was not in Mameng Mountain, and the person presiding over here was Sanbeile Mang Gurtai. About ten days ago, it was said that Huang Taiji led thousands of elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to Mameng Mountain to take over Mang Gurtai's military power, so It was Huang Taiji who commanded the army to resist the heavenly soldiers today! Unexpectedly, he was killed by the heavenly soldiers' firearms..."
I really beat Huang Taiji to death!
Zhu Youjian still felt something was wrong after thinking about it, and asked again: "Is Huang Taiji's arrival in Ma Mengshan's army a rumor or did you see it with your own eyes?"
"It's not a rumor or an eyewitness...it's what he said when he sent the order from the top. As for the eyewitness, we have seen Huang Taiji from a distance, but we don't know whether it is in person. After all, I am a low-ranking person and have never seen Huang Taiji in the past. ah……"
Zhu Youjian thought for a moment, waved his hand and asked Wei Zaode to take the prisoners away. We have to slowly find out whether the slave bandit leader who was shot on the battlefield today is really Huang Taiji. The most important thing right now is to wrap up the end of the Ma Mengshan battle.
The slave thieves also have two large strongholds in Qingcheng (Xinchengwei) and Kekehetao (Daningwei) along the Laohamulin River. They also have strongholds in the Mameng Mountains, and they have also opened up new sites in the Laohamulin River Basin. Several reclamation areas. These cities and reclamation areas must be captured as soon as possible.
After taking it, we still have to try to consolidate it... This is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is inevitable to immigrate to farmland.
In addition, we need to send agents or envoys to inquire about the situation in Shenyang... If Huang Taiji is really dead, we still need to find out who is in power in the slave country? Will he start a fight on his own?
Oh, and we need to contact Lin Dan Batur as soon as possible and discuss with him how to join forces to destroy the slave thieves...
...
The sound of horse hoofs rumbled like thunder, and 3,000 Gaoer Tuman iron cavalry, surrounded by Beiyuan Hutu Dunhan Lindan Batur, walked in front of his army.
Behind them, there were countless white flags rolling, followed by seemingly endless cavalry and nomadic cavalry. Lin Dan Batur's 20,000-strong army finally walked out of the Thousand Miles of Pine Forest.
Thousands of miles of pine forest, spanning thousands of miles from north to south, but less than a hundred miles from east to west, and because the nomadic tribes have been walking back and forth for thousands of years, they have opened many roads long ago, so it is not difficult to pass. However, Lin Danbatour still walked cautiously, for fear of being ambushed by the Jianzhou Jurchen.
To be honest, Lin Dan Batur is still a little, no, very afraid of Huang Taiji!
The reason why he dared to venture eastward, across thousands of miles of pine forests, and into the Huanghe River Basin was because he was more afraid of Zhu Youjian.
No matter how scary Huang Taiji is, he never really defeated Lin Dan Batur... It was Lin Dan Batur who took the initiative to run away, rather than being defeated by Huang Taiji. However, Zhu Youjian once killed Lin Dan Batur to a disastrous defeat, letting Lin Dan Batur know that the "Western Khan" was not easy to play either.
From that moment on, he had been thinking of finding another opportunity to return to left-wing Mongolia, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly!
At this time, groups of nomadic cavalry were leaving Lindan Batur's army and flying towards the east, southeast, northeast and north, looking for Mongolian tribes willing to take refuge. At the same time, they were also asking about the Ming Dynasty for Lindan Batur. News of the decisive battle with Houjin.
If things go wrong, Lindan Batur will still have to run away...
