Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 229 Lure the enemy to go deep
Salhu finally won it!

Taichang stood on the top of the mountain not far away, looking at the cottage in front of him with thick smoke billowing, he couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.

I don't know how many Ming soldiers were buried here!
At the beginning, Juniper led the [-] Ming army on the west road to attack Sarhu. Although they underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, they fought bravely. They did not flee like the army on the south road led by Li Rubai.

Facing the main force of building slaves, they will fight to the death!

However, the terrain here is too unfavorable for them, and Nurhachi has long planned to stop here, regardless of the weather and location, it is extremely unfavorable to them.

So they still fought against Jiannu for two days and one night, including Juniper, Wang Xuan, and Zhao Menglin. All three generals died in this battle.
The Battle of Salhu in Wanli 46 years was really miserable!
Four of the six general soldiers who participated in the battle died on the spot, and Marin, the leader of the North Route Army, fled back to Kaiyuan with only a few people. As a result, within a few months, Jiannu besieged Kaiyuan, and Marin and his second son died. All died in battle.

Although Li Rubai, the last remaining general of the South Route Army, fled back, he couldn't bear the torment in his heart, and committed suicide a year later.

This damned Yang Hao, in the Battle of Ulsan and the Battle of Saarhu, he killed more than [-] Ming army elites!

How many soldiers died because of this beast!

Fallen leaves return to their roots, and souls return to their hometowns. This has been a tradition for thousands of years.

Alas, the soldiers cannot be allowed to become wandering souls in other lands, and they will not die with peace in their eyes!
Taichang sighed secretly for a while, and then said decisively: "Child rope, after this battle, we will turn over the places where the three armies were lost, bring out the remains of the soldiers, and build a cemetery in Shenyang. Let them be buried together and let their souls return to their hometowns."

When Sun Chengzong heard the words, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang thought for a while, and then said loudly: "Order, order He Kegang to destroy all the barriers and arrow towers in Saerhu Village."

This time, he will even demolish the Acropolis of Jianzhou, completely destroying the foundation of Jiannu!

Next is Jiefan Village.

Saerhu, Jiefan Village, Gule Village, and Maerdun Village are all about [-] miles away from each other, and the infantry can reach them in a day, but the passage is too narrow, and the army cannot form a group, they can only file in single file. Row.

Jian slave cavalry is estimated to be eyeing them nearby, so they must not be careless.

Taichang thought about it again, and then said to Sun Chengzong: "Children, tomorrow will change the ancestor's birthday and lead the right pawns to lead the battle, and He Kegang will lead the left pawns to the rear. They have worked really hard today, let them rest for a few days. You worked hard For a moment, follow the vanguard army to record the valleys along the way, and draw a picture when we reach Jiefanzhai so that Zu Dashou and the others can also attack from the mountains."

Sun Chengzong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Early the next morning, the Ming army continued to advance, but this time it was the infantrymen of the right alliance behind who went first, followed by the cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion and the Imperial Army. up.

There is no way, the road ahead is too narrow, more than [-] troops have lined up for nearly [-] miles, and it took more than half a day for the troops to walk in!
Taichang couldn't help frowning when he saw the passage that could only accommodate three horses in parallel. If the Jiannu cavalry really came to attack the infantry before and after, could the cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion rush to rescue them?

To be honest, he was a little lost at the moment.

Fortunately, Sun Chengzong quickly ordered people to upload a detailed map of the valley ahead from the water, where they could set up camps, where they could temporarily station troops, and roughly how many people they could accommodate.

The army had been marching like this for less than a day, and the vanguard had already arrived at Fanzhai near the boundary.

The guard of Fanzhai in this world is really Mang Gurtai's younger brother, De Gelei. In history, he was also a general who was able to fight well. It's a pity that he is only in his twenties at the moment, and he has no experience in being a leader. .

When the news of Mang Gurtai's death came, he was distraught even more, and he had no intention of fighting at all.

Therefore, when Zu Dashou led the army to launch a fierce attack, Dege only took a little resistance and hurriedly led the army to flee to Gule Village, without causing many casualties to the Youxie Ming Army.

Taichang received the news, not only did not feel happy, but frowned.

Is Jiannu trying to lure the enemy in?
After thinking and thinking, he still ordered someone to recruit Sun Chengzong, who was the forward supervising the battle.

After paying respects to the monarch and ministers, he asked directly: "Children, Jiannu was defeated so quickly in today's battle, do you think they are trying to lure our army into deep?"

Sun Chengzong thought about it for a while, and then reckoned: "It is indeed a bit abnormal for my ministers to think about building slaves today. It is hard to say whether this kind of building slaves is luring the enemy to go deep, but Nurhachi will not let go of this only opportunity. .”

They still don't know that Nurhachi is dead, so it can be seen that Huang Taiji kept it a secret.

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "Well, nine out of ten Jiannu cavalry will come to attack, how about this, let's practice the infantry dodging tomorrow. Although the infantry of the right association did not encounter any resistance today, It is estimated that they are tired from climbing the mountain, tomorrow we will change He Kegang to lead the left pawns to go first, and the right pawns will practice shrinking into the valley to avoid it."

Sun Chengzong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Early the next morning, the Ming army began to march in confusion.

In the beginning, the infantry in the front not only did not move forward, but put away their tents and retreated into the valley along the way, while the cavalry and guards of the Shenwu Battalion in the middle were stationed in a valley without moving, only the infantry in the back moved forward all the way. , Go straight to Gule Village.

When the infantry behind ran to a place more than ten miles away from Gule Village, the iron cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion rushed out from the valley where they were stationed, and chased them all the way. The infantry of the Youxie Ming Army in the front finally rushed out from various valleys to follow.

After this day's rehearsal, Taichang finally felt a little relieved. As long as the infantry evaded quickly, the infantry before and after the support of the Shenwu Battalion cavalry was still very fast.

Because they were in the middle, more than ten miles away from the front and rear infantry, at the speed of the cavalry, even if they walked slowly, they would arrive in a quarter of an hour or two.

The guard of Gule village is Erbeile Amin. He was terrified when he heard the news that De Gelei had brought Mang Gurtai's death.

This fellow Huang Taiji is indeed using the hands of the Ming army to clean them up!

How to do it?

He made an unexpected move, that is, he abandoned Gule Village, and retreated directly to Maldun Village with De Gelei and his men!

Of course, he would not dare to directly lead the army to flee back to Hetuala.

If he dared to do this, even if Huang Taiji didn't take the opportunity to kill him, he would directly put him under house arrest like Nurhachi did to his father!
He had heard about the tactics of the Ming army's mountain-climbing attack, and felt that the troops under him and Dege were not enough to stop the Ming army, so he retreated to Maldunzhai to join Qierhalang.

Mangurtai and Dege are brothers of the same father and mother, and Amin and Qierharang are also brothers of the same father and mother. These two brothers are also the biggest threat to Huang Taiji in the race. Therefore, Huang Taiji sent them all to the front line to guard the cottage.

As soon as Amin retreated like this, Taichang affirmed that Jiannu was playing a tactic of luring the enemy to go deep. Otherwise, leaving such two easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack cottages and not defending them, why would they run? Isn't this helping them to speed up their advance? ?
And at this moment, there is only Maerdun Village in front of Jianzhou Weicheng. As long as they take down Maerdun Village, they will be able to march to Jianzhou Weicheng.

If it wasn't for the purpose of luring the enemy to go deep, why would Jiannu take this risk!

Perhaps Huang Taiji was using Mang Gurtai's recklessness, Dege's immaturity, and Amin's timidity to lure the enemy in, or maybe he didn't think so at all.

Who knows?

At least Mang Gurtai, De Ge Lei, A Min and Qier Harang didn't know about it, because Huang Taiji never told them any tricks to lure the enemy in.
