Huang Taiji regained consciousness again, not completely, but half. The left half of his body was still numb, but the right half was back to normal... It felt a little wrong! It seems to be more serious than the last time I fainted! Could it be that in the future we can no longer challenge Zhu Yi in battle? When he thought of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but sigh, and opened his mouth to say what Zhuge Liang said when he was about to die: "The sky is so long, it's so terrible!"
As soon as he called out, all the Manchu princes and princes in the golden tent knew that the Khan, who was always dizzy at critical moments in China, finally woke up and started shouting.
"Dahan! Dahan woke up..."
"Khan, you have to cheer up!"
"Great Khan, the minions are still waiting for you to lead everyone out!"
"Great Khan, the Kingdom of Jin cannot live without you!"
"Great Khan, you can't abandon your slaves..."
Everyone is very loyal! Huang Taiji thought to himself: If I can't wake up, can you people be as loyal as Zhuge Liang to assist the young master and revitalize the country of Dajin?
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji sighed again.
The great Beiledaishan who was present thought that he was worried about the situation of the war, so he forced out a smile and reported: "Don't worry, Khan, we have blocked the offensive of the Southern Army, and they can't fight anymore. Now the two armies are here There is a confrontation by the Lao Ha River, and no one can do anything to anyone."
What he said was not a shame! Is this situation called a confrontation? There are Ming troops on all sides of the Great Jin Army, including the Ming Army, southeast and northwest. No matter how you look at it, they are surrounded!
But it is true that the Ming army could not defeat the Hou Jin army... The Hou Jin army now has more than 60,000 people, while the Ming army surrounding them only has more than 40,000 people - yes, more than 40,000 people, and Not more than 20,000. The flag that Huang Taiji saw on Yuanbao Mountain before was not a bluffing trick by Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Sangui, but that Hong Chengchou's 22,000 troops had really arrived.
Because before Hong Chengchou's army arrived, the youth army in front of the tent had already suppressed Huang Taiji's 60,000 to 70,000 Hou Jin army and fought, so Hong Chengchou did not need to lead his army to reinforce Lu Xiangsheng, but instead set up a majestic formation on the slopes of Yuanbao Mountain.
The purpose of his formation at Yuanbao Mountain was actually not to have a decisive battle with Huang Taiji, but to force Huang Taiji to break out... Huang Taiji's 60,000 to 70,000 people were already at a disadvantage against the 25,000 people of the Youth Army before taking the account. , how dare you divide your troops to fight against Hong Chengchou's 22,000 men at the same time?
Therefore, after discovering that Hong Chengchou's army occupied Yuanbao Mountain, Huang Taiji would definitely choose to break out as soon as possible.
The only way Huang Taiji could break out was to retreat north along the Laoha River, or to go west into Yuanbao Mountain, and then retreat north after crossing Yuanbao Mountain.
As for crossing the Laoha River to the east and passing under Nalin City to the south, it is impossible. The former had to cross the river under the attack of tens of thousands of Ming troops... and Huang Taiji was not sure whether there was an ambush on the other side of the river (actually there was not). The latter is just seeking death, Huang Taiji is not that stupid!
Among the two possible breakout routes, Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou certainly hope that Huang Taiji can retreat along the Laoha River... because retreating along the Laoha River is easy to block!
The marching direction of Sun Chuanting's troops was to go north along Mameng Mountain, reach the Luoma River, then turn eastward, and drive all the way to the intersection of the Luoma River and the Laoha River. If Huang Taiji retreats along the Laoha River, wouldn't it be accurate to block one block at a time?
If he retreated over Yuanbao Mountain, it would be difficult to guess the route of his advance... There are indeed mountains and hills on both sides of the Laoha River, but the mountains and hills in this area are not dangerous. Instead, they are very open and easy to pass. Therefore, forcing Huang Taiji to run along the Laoha River was Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou's first choice.
But contrary to their expectations, after Huang Taiji found out that the Ming army was coming for reinforcements and he was surrounded, he actually came to be "immovable as a mountain".
They stopped their attacks on the surrounding Ming troops, shrank their defenses as a whole, and assumed a posture of waiting for help... What's the trick here?
Now Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others were a little directionless. Moreover, Lu Xiangsheng's youth army in front of the tent had been fighting continuously for almost two days and two nights, and they were already a little tired. Moreover, under the continuous attacks, their own losses were not small.
So after the Hou Jin army lay still, the Ming army also stopped attacking and began to adjust their deployment, preparing to surround the Hou Jin army - if they were willing to be surrounded and starved to death as a group of An'an, why would Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng bother anymore? What kind of tough battle is it?
...
"Breakthrough! Order your troops and horses immediately and breakout to the north!"
Huang Taiji, who had woken up, could no longer care about his own body and immediately issued an order to break out.
Although his body is dying, his mind is still relatively clear-at least for now! He knew that the army could not stay by the Laoha River... Now that all the soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty were out, Mang Gurtai, who stayed in Shenyang, only had a group of "Old Eight Banners" at hand, most of whom were grandfathers. Even if they are strong and can only defend the city for a while, can they still be expected to come to "Six Out of Yanshan"?
So if you stick to it, the whole army will starve to death!
"Sweat profusely, but your body bones..."
Daishan looked at Huang Taiji with a worried look... In fact, he also knew that being surrounded by the Laoha River would eventually run out of food.
But isn’t Huang Taiji dying soon?
Huang Taiji is dead, Ming Dynasty and Jin Dynasty...oh, is it necessary to fight to the death with Jianzhou Jurchen?
As the Great Beile, Dai Shan felt that he could lead the Jurchens in Jianzhou to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. The worst case scenario is to give up Shenyang and Liaoyang and return to their hometown in Jianzhou... As long as the Ming Emperor can promise Jurchens in Jianzhou to occupy half of Korea, then the world can return to peace!
It's a pity that Huang Taiji woke up again... Isn't this vitality too strong?
"My body is fine!" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth as he spoke. Half of his body was still numb. He didn't look like he was fine!
But the more it gets to this point, the more willing he is to risk it!
At this time, Huang Taiji looked at people with a bit of determination, which made Daishan, Abatai, Dergelei, Jierhalang and others feel shuddering.
"I'm going to fight them!" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said, "Now the whole army is in a desperate situation. If we can't kill them, our Kingdom of Jin will die for two generations... You are all in the eighth grade. Baile, are you prepared to die with your country? If you don’t want to sit back and wait for death, then fight with me!"
"Sweat your body..."
"Khan, you have to take care of yourself!"
"Sweat..."
Huang Taiji snorted, and no one dared to say anything.
"I'm already like this," Huang Taiji gritted his teeth, "What else can't I do? I...will carry the coffin and fight to the death! I will fight tooth and nail...I will lead the forward battalion and Wu Zhen Ha Chaoying and the white-armored soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner took the lead and led everyone to fight a bloody path!
Tan Tai, go and prepare a coffin and a soft sedan for me... I will sit in the sedan and carry the coffin to the battlefield! "
Tan Tai was a little dazed after hearing this. The sedan was easy to handle and had been prepared for Huang Taiji, but where could he find the coffin?
By the way, Sony seems to have brought two people, one to pretend to be Xi Fu and the other to pretend to be Fan Wencheng... Why don't we just dump that minion Fan Wencheng and use his coffin to contain Khan!
Thinking of this, Tan Tai bowed and said, "Hey! I'll do it now!"
Tan Tai turned around and went out to find Sony to ask for Fan Wencheng's second-hand coffin, and Huang Taiji continued: "We have lived a good life these years, and we regret our lives. Moreover, the lethality of the Southern Army has increased again, and it is even more deadly... ....So we were all a little timid when we came out of Yanshan before. It is precisely because we were timid that Zhu Youjian's ferocity and arrogance were so high. What did he force us to do?
Now that I am dying, I don’t know when I will go to see Khan Amma, so I am not afraid anymore... and I hope you are not afraid of death! In this battle, only by putting aside the fear of death can we open a bloody path and create a legacy for ourselves, Daikin, and future generations!
In short, in today's battle, I will die first. I hope that you will follow me and go to hell together! "
