Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 113 Han Eight Banners

A Min underestimated the enemy and was careless, and suffered a big loss in Man Gui's hands. The two shot at each other, and more than a hundred of his men were shot dead and hundreds were injured.

This time he finally woke up. He had been prepared for a long time, with a complete set of knives, shields, bows and arrows, and tens of thousands of men. He was just a pioneer, with a total of only two thousand people under his command, and he came in a hurry, without any weapons and equipment. You can't play with others.

He could only send people back to report the news, while cutting down trees, making wooden rafts, and honestly waiting for the main force to come.

Three days later in the evening, nearly 10 people from Jiannuman Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners finally arrived. After working hard all night, the east bank of the Daling River was suddenly covered with banners and tents like a sea.

At this time, on the river embankment, dozens of warriors wearing armor and straddling armored horses lined up.

The Four Great Baylor, Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, and Huang Taiji.

The four little Baylor, Qierharang, Azig, Abatai, and Babutai.

The five great generals are Fei Yingdong, E Yidu, He Heli, Ilkhan, and An Feiyangu.

There are also surrendered generals Liu Aita, Tong Yangxing, Li Yongfang, etc. There are really star-studded generals.

At this time, the Jiannu soldiers were strong and strong, their morale was like a rainbow, and they were in great power for a while, and their military strength reached the peak since the Yijia Rebellion.

At this time, the strength of the Eight Banners was close to [-], and most of them were cavalry, among which there were not a few armored cavalry, and their combat effectiveness was astonishing.

And the newly formed Han Eight Banners has also expanded to more than [-] under the lobbying and instigation of Tong Yang, Li Yongfang and other surrendered generals.

These people were originally members of the Ming army. Some were captured in the battles of Shenyang and Liaoyang and were persuaded to surrender. of.

In short, they were originally the frontier guards of the Ming Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Qi Jin and Sun Chengzong did not expect that Jiannu Han Eight Banners expanded so fast.

Of course, the Eight Banners did not come out in full force this time, which was similar to what Qi Jin and Sun Chengzong expected.

After all, they had just occupied the fertile land of Liaodong, so someone had to guard the rear.

Therefore, only the Han Eight Banners came out in full force this time, and about [-]% of the full Eight Banners came.

Even so, Nurhachi, with an army of nearly [-], also believed that he was already invincible.

He looked at the other side of the river coldly, and then said disdainfully, "The Ming army on the other side really ambushed more than ten thousand people?"

A Min hurriedly said cautiously: "Yes, Da Khan, I didn't investigate for a while, and fell into their ambush, please Da Khan punish me."

In fact, this is meant to be listened to by others. After all, the death of more than a hundred elites of the Eight Banners is already a big loss for them, and he can't say nothing.

Amin believes that with his merits, he will not be punished for this loss.

Sure enough, Nurhachi just hummed slightly, and then said to a heroic general beside him, "Aita, when will the naval warship arrive?"

Liu Aita was not originally called Liu Aita. His real name was Liu Xingzuo, and Liu Aita was the name given to him by Nurhachi.

He is also a Han citizen in Liaodong, but unlike Tong Yang and Li Yongfang, he was not sentenced to Jiannu on his own initiative. He was taken as a slave by Jiannu since he was a child, and it was the Dalai Lama who burned, killed and looted his hometown at that time. Bella Diana!
He was taken captive by Daishan to the Jurchen Department of Jianzhou in the 33rd year of Wanli. Later, by virtue of his ingenuity, he gradually gained the trust of Nurhachi and became Nurhachi's son-in-law.

After all, he was the most powerful general of the Han army in Jiannu at this time. Tong Yangxing was only a second-class general soldier, Li Yongfang was only a third-class general soldier, and he was a first-class general soldier. Li Yongfang had to call him uncle!
At this time, he was in charge of the huge territories of Haizhouwei, Gaizhouwei, Fuzhouwei, and Jinzhouwei. indivual.

However, at this time, he was a little disgusted with Jiannu, because the process of Jiannu occupying Liaodong was too tyrannical, and burning, killing and looting could be seen almost everywhere. This reminded him of his childhood, his hometown, and lost their own parents and folks.

He can't bear to see such atrocities!

Historically, Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, took advantage of this and instigated the commander-in-chief of the Southern Four Guards, thereby seizing the Liaodong Peninsula. The slave was overturned.

It's a pity that Yuan Keli was later fired and investigated for disobeying Wei Zhongxian. This victory, which was enough to reverse the fate of the Ming Dynasty, turned into a massacre of Jiannu against the Southern Four Guards. !

Of course, these are things for later, so I will skip them for the time being.

At this time, Liu Aita was only disgusted with Jiannu's atrocities, but he didn't have any grudges against Nurhachi, the father-in-law.

He cupped his hands respectfully and said: "Khan, because Gaizhou Weijun Port is far away from here, and after entering the Daling River, it is difficult for naval warships to sail against the current, so the naval warships came slowly. It won't be until noon."

Nurhachi nodded slightly, and then said to Li Yongfang who was beside him: "Yongfang, you should prepare yourself. As soon as the naval warship arrives, you will lead your men and horses to rush to the other side by boat."

Why me again?

Li Yongfang is so depressed, sweating, you are too partial!
It's obviously Liu Aita's warship, but he asked his men to sit on it and charge forward, what's the reason?
At this moment, all his subordinates are drawn here through hard work by virtue of his relationship!
Alas, there is no way, Da Khan just dotes on this son-in-law, and no one can do anything about it.

He could only wave his sleeves helplessly and say, "Scum."

Nurhachi looked at the other bank again, and then ordered: "You have to raise your character, you lead your men and horses to build a few piers along the river."

Alas, everyone is Han Eight Banners, why don't you let Liu Aita go?

In fact, the pawns of the three of them at this moment are all about [-], and Liu Aita has more sailors from the Southern Four Guards in his hands, so his strength is the strongest.

The problem is that Nurhachi loves Liu Aita, the son-in-law who was brought up since he was a child, and he and Li Yongfang do all the dirty work!

There are [-] Ming soldiers ambushing on the opposite side. How can this pier be built?
Of course, no matter how difficult it is to build, he has to bite the bullet. This kind of dirty work is what traitors like them should do!
To put it bluntly, the Han Banners are cannon fodder, and they all know this in their hearts.

After Nurhachi returned to the camp with a group of generals, Tong Yangxing ordered someone to send an order to gather all the sword, shield and archers under the river embankment, and he sent the others to the nearby woods to cut wood.

About an hour later, the wood was ready, and Tong Yangxing gave an order, and thousands of sword shields immediately lined up in a neat formation to protect thousands of archers and rushed towards the embankment.

"Kill!"

Tens of thousands of people roared in unison, and the Daling River seemed to boil with it.

At this time, a long row of shield walls also sprang up from the opposite river embankment.

"Kill!"

There was also a burst of roars, but the momentum seemed to be even better.

Immediately afterwards, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", the sound kept ringing, and the two sides just shot at each other across the river bank.

Thousands of arrows are fired, the clouds are overwhelming, and the arrows are like rain.

"Aggressive", most of the arrows were blocked by the iron shields on both sides, but some arrows just fell against the shields and shot into the archers behind.

"Puff puff puff puff", people kept falling to the ground with arrows, but the rain of arrows never stopped.

Tong Yangxing is also a soldier of the Ming army. This kind of cannibalism shouldn't have happened in the first place, but in this troubled world, there are too many people who can't help themselves, and finally they have to stand opposite the Ming army and become slaves. cannon fodder.

After shooting each other for about ten rounds, the rain of arrows finally stopped. It didn't mean that they ran out of arrows, but the strength of the main archers was exhausted.

With a strong bow of at least six buckets or more, shooting one arrow is like lifting a hundred-jin boulder once. After ten rounds, it is enough to make people's hands weak and sweaty.

Seeing this, Tong Yangxing immediately ordered: "The sword and shield hand protect the archer and go down the river, and the others go up and nail the wooden stakes!"

Is this not fatal?
There is no way, although it is very dangerous to do so, they have to go, because if they do it, they may not die, if they don't, Jiannu will cut them down in all likelihood!

Soon, tens of thousands of swordsmen and archers rushed into the knee-deep river, while the remaining thousands of people carried wooden stakes and hammered frantically behind them.

Seeing this, Man Gui could only say nothing, his archers also needed to rest.

The two sides spent the whole morning intermittently like this, and Tong Yangxing's subordinates suffered heavy casualties, but they insisted on using their lives to build a few temporary docks.

On Mangui's side, although there were not many casualties, thousands of archers were already sweating profusely, and their hands were shaking.

At noon, a long string of black spots suddenly appeared on the river to the south, and Jiannu's naval warship arrived!
