"Send an order to the two thousand households of Hucha'an and Yeketalin, and order them to each lead their own troops and attack the Sui army in a detour on both wings."
Unlike Nurhachi, who had already lost two sons and had a bloody feud with the Sui army, Tuo Lei Tie remained basically calm when attacking. He found that the frontal defense of the Sui army led by Qi Jiguang was extremely strong, so he immediately divided his troops on both sides to see if there were any flaws.
After the two Turkic commanders received the order, they each led their cavalry to separate lanes and kill towards the flanks of the Sui army.
"Innocent!"
Qi Jiguang sneered and didn't even give instructions for changing formations. If it could be broken so easily, then he would not be Qi Jiguang.
The Turkic cavalry on both sides encountered a hail of arrows before they even approached the Sui army's formation. The Turkic soldiers were immediately shot to the point of being turned upside down, with deaths and injuries all over the place.
"Your Highness, these barbarian Sui troops are very powerful. We cannot break through their defenses at all."
Several Turkic tribes suffered heavy losses, and they successively proposed to Tuo Lei to withdraw.
Tuo Lei stared at the rock-solid Sui army formation not far away for a long time, thought about it secretly for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Instruct all the troops to stop attacking and take turns to cover and guard against the Sui army's pursuit."
"Your Highness, over there with the Jurchens..." a Turkic head of a thousand households said cautiously.
Tuo Lei glanced at the head of the Thousand Households indifferently and said expressionlessly: "The Jurchens have their own commanders. Let Nurhachi decide whether to retreat or not."
Nurhachi had just been hacked to death by the Sui army, and his whole body was not even found in the capital. How to make a decision?
Several Turkic families were startled for a moment, and then they realized that His Highness the Prince was planning to use the Jurchens as human shields to cover his own evacuation!
The Turks have always spoken with their strength, and the various tribes are constantly fighting openly and secretly for the population, cattle, sheep and grasslands, not to mention the Jurchens who are only allied with them. Sacrificing the Jurchens could preserve their troops to the greatest extent. These thousands of Turkic families went down without any hesitation to give orders to withdraw their troops.
"General, look, the Turks are starting to withdraw."
Several lieutenants around Qi Jiguang generously asked for orders: "The last general is willing to lead his elite cavalry to outflank the enemy, and we will definitely be able to wipe out the Hu bandits in one fell swoop."
There were also three thousand cavalry hidden in the Qi Jiajun's chariot formation. Qi Jiguang deliberately hid his killer move of waiting until the barbarian attack was frustrated and their morale was exhausted before attacking suddenly.
However, Qi Jiguang glanced at the retreating Turkic army and the Jurchen army that was caught off guard and was now in a mess. He shook his head and said: "No need, order the whole army to advance steadily!"
"General Qi, why is this?" Several lieutenants did not understand why Qi Jiguang would sit back and watch the fighter planes pass by.
Qi Jiguang smiled slightly and said: "The Turks and Jurchens just have a common interest. After returning to camp, Wanyan Aguda saw that most of the Turkic troops had withdrawn, while his own soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses. Guess what he was thinking."
Only then did the lieutenants suddenly realize: "The general is brilliant!"
"Send the order!"
Qi Jiguang put away his smile and said seriously: "Order all armies to pursue the Jurchen army with all their strength!"
Under the command of Qi Jiguang, the Sui army units spared the retreating Turkic troops and attacked the Jurchen army across the board, which had lost command and retreated in chaos because the allies did not tell them. With a sudden stab, the Jurchen army was killed and corpses were scattered all over the field. They had no organization and fled in all directions.
The Sui army pursued them all the way until they encountered Temujin and Wanyan Aguta, who sent a second force to support them. Then they stopped advancing, and with their chariot formation behind them, they shot back the Huru reinforcements with strong bows and crossbows, and slowly withdrew. go.
At this time, the 5,000 Jurchen army led by Nurhaci had less than 1,000 people, and the general Nurhaci and several other captains were all killed in the battle.
. . . . . . . . . .
In the Jurchen camp, looking at the hundreds of defeated soldiers with no morale, Wanyan Aguda looked gloomy and remained silent for a long time.
"Lord Wolf, the Turks have gone too far to bully others. I have just asked the soldiers who fled back. The Turks did not notify them at all when they withdrew. It is clear that they are using us Jurchen warriors as human shields. The five thousand people who left the camp in Torre will return. The battalion has at least four thousand soldiers and horses."
Jurchen general Wanyan Zongbi said with a look of indignation.
The Jurchen generals Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Jindanzi, Ao Bai, and Yang Woyan on the side also showed displeasure, secretly hating the Turks for betraying their teammates.
Wanyan Aguda's face became even more ugly when he heard this. Originally, the Sui army took Wang Baobao and a group of prisoners of war to show off their power to the Turks to lower their morale, but he went to help out of good intentions.
But now it's good. Something he didn't want to do originally caused the loss of two generals, Gao Biao and Nurhaci. Five thousand elites were used as human shields and almost the entire army was wiped out. This is really a dog stalking a mouse and meddling in other people's own business.
"Lord Wolf, our army and the Turks are allies. Today's matter must be explained clearly to Temujin Khan and asked to take charge...ah!"
Before Fan Wencheng finished speaking, he was whipped on the face.
"stupid*!"
In the Jurchen army, Wanyan Zonghan, whose position as marshal of the capital was second only to Wanyan Aguda, unceremoniously whipped Fan Wencheng with a riding crop and cursed: "What a fool*, try to reason with Temujin, he will do it for We Jurchens are going to punish his own son, he wishes we would all die so that he could dominate Youzhou!"
"Marshal Du, please spare your life, Marshal Du, please spare your life. The villain is ignorant. The villain realizes his mistake. Please spare his life, Marshal Du!"
Fan Wencheng was beaten by Wanyan Zonghan until he rolled on the floor and begged loudly for mercy.
"Okay, Zong Han!"
Wanyan Aguda looked at it coldly for a while, then said calmly: "This dog slave originally said that Wu Sangui would be surrendered at Yulin Pass. He had some credit for it, so don't beat him to death!"
Wanyan Agu opened his mouth, and then Wanyan Zonghan stopped, kicked Fan Wencheng in anger, and shouted: "You dog slave, if you don't get out, you will be embarrassed to stay here!"
"Yes, yes, get out of here, little guy!" Fan Wencheng endured the pain, crawled and rolled and ran to the logistics to find a military doctor to give him medicine.
"Skeleton!"
Wanyan Zonghan spat disdainfully at Fan Wencheng's leaving figure, turned to Wanyan Aguda and said: "Lord Wolf, we can't just let this matter go with the Turks!"
"But you said so yourself!"
Wanyan Aguda said in a deep voice: "Temujin wishes that all of us Jurchens would be dead. He will only pretend to be confused about this matter."
"Urgent report, urgent report!"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves outside the camp gate. Several Jurchen cavalrymen rode on their saddles, galloped precariously into the camp gate, rolled their saddles off their horses, and stumbled towards Wanyan Aguda and others.
"You are...Sasu, Lou Shi's personal soldier captain!"
"Lord Wolf, I am none other than Sasu. I came here to seek help from Lord Wolf on the order of the general."
The leading Jurchen soldier said eagerly: "Cao Cao of Goguryeo led an army of 100,000 to raid Liaodong and is approaching Shangjing."
