I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 154: Jianlu’s discussion (please subscribe)

It is indeed as Yang Lian thought. In the Jianlu camp, each banner has just finished counting the casualties. Looking at the cold numbers, they really want to cry without tears.

The injured people who had been treated were still groaning in pain, which filled the whole camp with a low and solemn atmosphere, which was extremely solemn.

In the Chinese army tent, Mang Gurtai and Amin were kneeling on the ground, waiting for Nurhachi's punishment.

"In the past, the Ming army has never been able to defeat me, Daijin, in field battles. How come you will lose this battle? Ah?"

Nurhaci held the seat handle tightly with one hand, pointed at Mang Gurtai with the other, and scolded him harshly.

He couldn't figure out why the Ming army couldn't be defeated in the middle.

"The chieftain soldiers in the middle of the Ming army have never seen any fighting techniques or weapons. Their morale is extremely high and they will not retreat until they fight. They are different from the Ming army we have seen before. The soldiers have attacked five or six times in succession, but nothing can be done. Please give me some advice." Father Khan, forgive me."

Mang Gurtai was also depressed, but now that the matter was over, he didn't quibble, he just told the truth.

"Also, the artillery of the Ming army today is much sharper than before. In particular, the artillery can actually hit our army from the rear of the Ming army. The shield vehicles were damaged by the artillery on the way to charge, and they continued to harass the rear troops during the charge. The armored men were so demoralized that they were unable to fight anymore.”

"Amma, I also heard that the Ming Army transported a batch of artillery and muskets from Beijing. Their range and power are far greater than before. I think they are the ones used by the Ming Army."

Upon seeing this, Huang Taiji also went out to speak to Mang Gurtai.

He knew the situation of the Ming Dynasty very well and knew the information about this batch of artillery. He had always hoped to reuse the Han people and form his own firearms force.It's just that Nurhachi was very wary of the Han people, and he said it many times to no avail.

"I heard that the Han people only had about ten artillery pieces. How could they be so powerful? What did Shi Litai do to make the Ming army so comfortable?"

Daishan questioned, which instantly made Mang Gurtai secretly scream.

I wonder why Daishan is so vicious. Zhenglan Banner suffered heavy losses today. Only the cavalry led by Shi Litai suffered less losses, which can be regarded as leaving some kindling for Zhenglan Banner.

Although he wanted to deal with Shi Litai and hated him 1 times, Zhenglan Banner suffered heavy losses, Jia La lost three people, and Niu Lu Ezhen lost 15 people. Therefore, it is not the time to deal with him now, and Daishan's words are very It was obvious that he had to be dealt with on the spot.

When Nurhaci heard this, he snorted coldly and called for Shilitai to come to the big tent.

After a while, Shi Litai, escorted by two Baya soldiers with red flags, staggered into the big tent.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Daishan jumped out to preemptively go out and ask questions.

"Shi Litai, today you delayed the fighter plane and were unable to intercept the Ming army's artillery. What crime should you be guilty of?"

"Great Khan, spare your life. The Ming army has a tight defense on the artillery. They have sent chariots and battalions to protect it, chieftains are guarding it, and there are cavalry surrounding it. They can't get close at all."

Before coming here, Shilitai knew that he would be charged, so he could only try his best to defend himself.

But Daishan didn't care about him and reprimanded him directly.

"You are greedy for life and afraid of death. You are afraid of moving forward. The victory or defeat of our army is more important than your dog's life. You should really take your dog's life."

As he spoke, he bowed to Nurhachi for instructions.

"Father Khan, Shi Litai delayed the opportunity to fight and cowered, which resulted in the defeat of our army! Failure to kill is not enough to quell the army's anger. He must be killed according to the law! Please give me a warning, Father Khan."

Upon hearing this, Shi Litai immediately looked anxiously at Mang Gurtai, who was also kneeling on the ground, with a look of help in his eyes.It's just that Mang Gurtai can't protect himself, and he can't help Shilitai now.

"Khan, spare your life, Khan, spare your life, please spare this slave's life."

Seeing that Mang Gurtai did not help, Shi Litai felt desperate and could only keep begging Nurhaci for mercy.

"Father Khan, we must not keep this man. If we don't kill him, the soldiers will surely complain. Please be careful, Father Khan."

Daishan did not give Shi Litai a chance to beg for mercy and directly demanded death.

Shi Litai is Mang Gurtai's confidant, especially Zhenglan Qi, who is now seriously injured. Senior generals like Shi Litai are more important to Mang Gurtai, so killing him is equivalent to cutting off Mang Gurtai's arm. , Daishan wants to punish Mang Gurtai to death.

There was silence in the big tent, and Huang Taiji and others were also silent. It seemed that they did not want to offend Daishan. There must be a scapegoat in this battle, otherwise it would not be enough to quell the army's anger.

The old slave sat on the front seat, holding the handle with both hands, his expression serious and silent, but he could not suppress his anger towards Daishan in his heart. He had the final say on how Shi Litai should be punished, but Daishan was aggressive. It seemed that Shili was He won't give up until Tai dies.

When he thought of this, his disgust for Daishan became stronger and stronger. He despised the emperor, was greedy for money and violated the law, and abused others.But now that Daishan has a lot of troops, he has to be cautious, and he really needs a scapegoat for this battle.

He thought for a while and could only wave his hand, and the guards immediately came forward. "Shilitai delayed the battle, resulting in a huge defeat. He was dragged out and beheaded, his property was confiscated, and his family was enslaved. As commanders, Manggurtai and Amin were incompetent and were demoted to the rank of Beizi, temporarily holding the flags."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present saw that the matter was over, and they all stood up and cupped their hands and said:
"Khan Shengming."

As he spoke, the guards came forward and dragged Shi Litai out, who was still begging for mercy, to show his head to the public.

Seeing that this matter is over, the old slave is a little tired. As a ruler, he needs to look further than these people.

This defeat left him somewhat bruised, and military failure would inevitably lead to political retreat.

The Great Jin Kingdom he established was a military group that constantly relied on plunder to obtain resources to meet its own needs. His prestige was not due to his family, but to his repeated victories.

Now that the war has failed and Daikin has suffered heavy losses, some people will definitely complain about him, but with his many years of prestige, he can still suppress it.It's just that Dajin's food rations can only last until June and July. By then, military failure and the food crisis will definitely cause chaos in the Jin Kingdom.

So now he couldn't help but think about the future. Thinking of this, he waved his hand to Mang Gurtai.

"You two, get up. Now that the matter is over, you need to think about what to do next."

When Mang Gurtai and others heard this, they became trembling and sat aside.

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, not knowing how to reply.I was afraid that if the Khan in question was unhappy, it would be troublesome.Seeing that everyone was silent, Nurhaci glanced at Daishan.

"Er Beile, tell me what to do now."

Daishan actually felt that he couldn't fight now. If he continued fighting, he might not be able to leave, but for a moment he wasn't sure what Nurhachi meant.

"Amma, in my opinion, now our army has failed in successive attacks and its morale is low. The Ming army is constantly getting reinforcements. The reinforcements from that old thief Xiong Tingbi should also be on the way. The Ming army's Fengji Fort is behind our army. It's easy. Cut off our army's retreat. At that time, we will be attacked from both sides, and our army may not be able to leave. "

Although Dai Shanfei is domineering, these words express the current predicament of Jianlu. If he leaves now, everyone will not be willing to fail. If he does not leave, he will not be able to fight with the current morale. It is really worthless, tasteless and abandoned. What a pity.

And Mang Gurtai was not willing to fail. Now that he was defeated so miserably, how could he face the Zhenglan Banner people.

"Father Khan, no, the Ming army only relies on chieftain soldiers and Zheying artillery. We only need to use our strengths and avoid weaknesses to avoid engaging with them. Now we can raid Xiong Tingbi's reinforcements, defeat their elites, and then encircle Shenyang. We will still be able to fight. "

Mang Gurtai's words also moved the people present who were unwilling to fail, but the difficulty was too great, and if you were not careful, you would be doomed.

"Huang Taiji, you are the most stable and intelligent among all the disciples. Please tell me."

Huang Taiji remained silent below. It was fortunate that his Zhengbai flag suffered less damage in this battle.Therefore, Daishan also approached him and wanted him to suggest with him that his father Khan should withdraw his troops.

But he was also hesitating. He knew that his father was now very dissatisfied with Daishan. If he rashly agreed with Daishan, it would be bad if his father suspected that the two of them were secretly colluding.

So now when Nurhaci asked him, he thought for a moment and slowly analyzed it.

"Whether we fight or not is a matter of thought. If we withdraw, we won't plunder food this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future. We can only hold on to food rations until June and July. If we encounter a severe drought like last year, then we will It's troublesome, so you need to plan in advance how to plunder food when you go back.

If we fight, we can't wait over there. Xiong Tingbi's reinforcements should be arriving soon, so the reconnaissance cavalry will set off now. The large forces will be ready to go tonight. Taking advantage of Shenyang's lax defense, it is possible not to be discovered. The Han people have a saying, two Whichever harm is less, I ask Amma to make a decision. "

Everyone present understood what it meant. Although Babeile didn't say retreat in every sentence, he actually said it in every sentence.

Let's go to ambush Xiong Tingbi. Let's not talk about whether we can ambush him. Let's just say that we are facing a new defeat, with low morale and many wounded. Whether we can launch an attack is still a problem. If we are discovered by the Shenyang defenders again and attack from both front and rear, then It’s really gone.

Nurhachi is also thinking that if he withdraws his troops now, he will encounter difficulties in the future, but if he fights now, it may be a desperate situation.

"I never expected to suffer such a big defeat, but the fact is that we should not be depressed. In the past, I loved watching the Ming Dynasty's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" most. I loved Liu Bei in it the most, but it was not Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, but Liu Bei. He raised an army in middle age, fought and lost repeatedly, never got discouraged after repeated defeats, and persevered, and finally achieved hegemony."

"Winning or losing is a common thing for a soldier. If I, Dajin, lose this battle for a while, then I will go back to regroup and fight again next year. By then the victory or defeat will be unknown."

Everyone knows that Khan likes to watch the Three Kingdoms, so they all have dabbled in it and naturally know the story of Liu Bei.So after Nurhaci's words, they also cheered up and expressed their intention to go back and regroup and fight again next year.

"Then don't delay. Get ready tomorrow night and leave at dawn, otherwise it will be difficult to leave when Xiong Tingbi comes."

Everyone immediately obeyed the order, went down to gather the wounded, and ordered the troops to withdraw. Only Nurhaci was worried. It was easy to retreat, so what should we do when we go back? How should we survive the difficulties this year? After hearing about their defeat, the surrounding Inner Kharkah would also be waiting for an opportunity. And moving.

But these were all things he would worry about in the future. Fortunately, he left in time, because early the next morning, Xiong Tingbi led the reinforcements to arrive at Shenyang City.
