Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 201 Meeting in Liaoyang City

More than five hundred soldiers, without any defense, faced a heavily armed cavalry team, and they were the most elite ancestral cavalry in the entire Liaodong. To be able to hold on for a stick of incense was considered a strong fighting spirit.

Arrows continued to fire, and the soldiers blocking the perimeter suffered heavy casualties. Soon, the cavalry holding long swords attacked from the flanks, and the Jurchens did not have any extra troops to stop them.
  Erden wiped off the blood on his face and looked reluctantly at the treasures and property on the packhorse not far away. The servants and family members had already run out from behind the carriage and began to flee in all directions. Those who hid under the wheels were hiding behind the horses. Those under the abdomen, with their heads buried in the ground and their buttocks raised and not daring to raise their heads, are like fish meat that is being slaughtered.

Suddenly, a broadsword slashed at him, and Erden raised his hand to block it in a panic. Fortunately, he had a personal guard by his side to block the enemy.

At this time, the situation was critical. The person beside him grabbed the reins of Erden's war horse with one hand and urged him urgently: "Sir, the Han people have a saying, leaving green mountains without worrying about having no firewood is just some external things! Go first Evacuate! We will make long-term plans when we return to Liaoyang City!"

Return to Liaoyang City to discuss the long term? ?
  However, even if Liaoyang City provides support, it will not come.

Erden already understood in his heart that this time the retreat began, the offensives of Jianzhou and Daming had been reversed.

"Hateful! Hateful!"

Erden wished he could eat Wang Qi's flesh alive.

If it were not for Wang Qi, perhaps the Jurchens would have taken the entire Liaodong into their pockets, and they might have been enjoying their wealth in the luxurious mansion in Ningyuan City.

But now, even Shenyang City doesn't know if it can be defended.

Was he driven back to Hetuala like a lost dog?
  Countless Jurchens are unwilling to do so!

"Retreat, retreat! Retreat first," Erden took a deep look at Zu Dale, who was riding a horse in the distance: "Next time I encounter this person, I will kill him!"

This sudden attack made Erden very angry. He was confident that if he fought normally on the battlefield, he was confident that he could press Zu Dale to the ground and rub him!

He is a small disciple, but he relies on Wang Qi's remaining power. If it were normal, I would kill him!
  Before sunset, the Jurchens' fighting spirit finally collapsed, and the formation could no longer be maintained. Erden finally broke out under the protection of his own soldiers, leaving only corpses scattered on the ground and countless treasures accumulated over the years.

"Lord chicken and tile dog!" Zu Dale, who was riding on the horse, laughed as he looked at Erden who was escaping in a hurry, with disdain on his face.

"Sir, this time we have captured a fat sheep, thirty boxes of treasures, more than a hundred boxes of silks and satins, and more than a hundred pack horses. The remaining servants, women, and prisoners have been tied up in chains, waiting to be punished.

Zu Dale didn't care about these treasures, he only cared about the reputation of being the first victor in Liaodong.

Treasure?

The ancestral family has been operating in Liaodong for decades, and has long been extremely wealthy.

There is no pressure to maintain seven or eight thousand private soldiers, and you can get a glimpse of their strength.

"Except for the female family members, stab all the wounded soldiers and prisoners to death, cut off their heads and put them together with their weapons, make a roster, and report their military exploits!" Zu Dale only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze. There is no other intention besides desire, and his eyes are extremely cold.

Hearing Zu Dale's words, his men were stunned for a moment, and then they confirmed: "Except for the female family members, stab them all to death?"

"What?" Zu Dale sat on the horse and narrowed his eyes. "General, I obey!" The lieutenant general bowed, then turned around and gave the order: "Except for the female family members, all captured soldiers will be stabbed to death!"

Zu Dale's purpose is very clear. Through this first victory, he will maximize his military exploits and the current situation in Liaodong to inform everyone. The most important thing is to let the court know that the current Liaodong is no longer what it used to be. This decline has been reversed.

Careful and step-by-step?
  Zu Dale's mouth showed disdain: Duke Lang had been in Beijing for a long time and seemed to have lost the decisive means of killing in Liaodong.

Looking at his military achievements, Zu Dalue sighed inexplicably: Beijing City, Fugui Township, is really exhausting!

Thirty miles away, in Liaoyang City, the soldiers and horses with yellow flags stationed here were already in full formation.

"The Ming army has withdrawn?" Deputy Capital Commander Qi asked nervously to the soldiers kneeling in the hall.

"According to reports, the Ming army only plundered Lord Erden's team, killed most of the prisoners and slaves, and then retreated. Now there are only more than 300 soldiers left with Lord Erden. Guards, waiting outside the city."

Wei Qi, the younger brother of the fourth minister Fei Yingdong, was a guerrilla under the Xianghuang Banner. He was promoted to Jia La E Zhen not long ago, but because he took the wrong position in the power struggle, he was now sent to Liaoyang City by Dai Shan to garrison.

"Is this Ming army here to fight the autumn wind?" Wei Qi was a little confused. If Zu Dale came to explore the reality of Liaoyang City, why didn't he continue the attack? I'm really not sure about my forehead.
  The generals in the Liaoyang City Commandery were also puzzled.

Now throughout the Jurchens, there are various debates about whether to fight the Ming army. Before Daishan said anything, everyone could only discuss it secretly. No one knew what would happen.

"Let Erden come in first. I have something to ask him!" Wei Qi still planned to ask the person involved first before speaking.
  In fact, Erden and Wei Qi have a good relationship. They are family friends, but they have different ambitions and positions, so they have had little contact in the past two years.

Not long after, Erden, whose wound on his forehead had been bandaged, was brought to Wei Qi.

"Zheng Hongqi Niu Lu Erden pays homage to Lord Dutong!" Erden first bowed to Wei Qi, then stood up, looking defeated.

"Sit down." Wei Qi looked at Erden's face and naturally knew what he was thinking: "Do you blame me for not sending troops to rescue you?"

"The general will not dare," Erden curled his lips and then shook his head: "Your Excellency, the overall situation is the top priority, so naturally you cannot send troops easily."

"Ha," Wei Qi put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a cold face: "What do you think that Ming army is here for? Can't you still understand the changes in the situation between the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty? If I were to Regardless of the consequences, we sent troops to rescue you. Do we have to pay for the entire Liaoyang City for a few boxes of gold and silver?"

Erden listened to Wei Qi's words and remained silent for a long time.

Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will complain, let alone the two of them who have been friends for a long time. Even if Erden complains twice, Wei Qi will not take it to heart.

"I will report this matter to the Council of Political Kings and wait for them to make a decision." Seeing his brother's dejected look, Wei Qi consoled him: "You go to rest first. Now every soldier in Liaoyang City is dead. They will be mobilized at will, but they must be controlled by Shenyang. If the Council of Political Kings gives an order to defend Liaoyang City, I think you will see those Ming troops again soon."

"The general understands." Erden dwarfed, exhaled a burst of turbid air, and then his eyes narrowed, and his whole body was full of murderous aura: "Next time we meet, I will kill that Ming general!"
