"King Khan, the banner of the enemy camp has changed." Yue Tuo urged him to step forward and reminded him: "It's better to withdraw the team and return to the camp!"

Nurhaci felt that he had finished his observation and would not have any more gains if he stayed there, so he nodded, turned around his horse's head, and ran towards his camp.

In the Ming army camp, watching the Jiannu brigade run away, Xiong Tingbi took back the order, and the Flying Cavalry Battalion, which was preparing to attack the entire team, had to stop the action.

"It's the big leader of Jiannu." He Kegang paused and added: "It may be that the old slave came to see the truth of our army."

Xiong Tingbi said with a gentle head, "It's not surprising that my old friend is here. This battle is of great importance. If he loses again, Jiannu will never recover."

He Kegang thought for a while and said, "I can't think of any way for the old slave to win."

Xiong Tingbi smiled slightly and said, "We think Jiannu is a sure defeat, but Jiannu may not think so. Besides, even if he dies, he still has to fight stubbornly."

Xiong Tingbi did not tell anyone about the plan to use the Rockets' range to sneak attack the Jiannu camp and defeat Jiannu in one fell swoop. Only the Rockets' troops knew some information.

According to the ideas of He Kegang and other generals, they took defense as an offensive to defeat Jiannu's attack and confronted Jiannu here, which made Jiannu's food and grass scarce, exhausted materials, and had chaos in their morale, and victory was in his hands.

This is of course the most cautious and conservative way to play, and it is also the safest and safest way to win. According to Jiannu’s current material reserves, tens of thousands of soldiers can last for a month or two at most.

Moreover, the Jiannu army was restrained here, and the Ming army in other aspects had no resistance to the battle, which was more conducive to the overall situation of Ping Liao.

Xiong Tingbi did not attack the city immediately, nor did he want to take the initiative to attack the Jiannu army that had just arrived.

First, keep Haicheng, give Jiannu hope, and will not retreat soon, rely on Anshan, Liaoyang and other cities to resist step by step, and extend the Ming army's transportation supply line;

Secondly, the Jiannu army had just arrived and the morale was strong. Using fortifications and muskets to destroy the enemy's spirit first was the strategy that was in line with the essence of military strategists.

Time is in the hands of the Ming army, so of course we must make good use of it. It is also Xiong Tingbi's consideration to defeat the enemy's sharpness and consume the enemy's vitality and lay a good foundation for the decisive battle.

"Transfer the order and order Huanglong's troops to prepare for attack." Xiong Tingbi pondered for a moment and issued an order, "Tomorrow, the feint attack of Haicheng must be done, and the momentum must be done to lure Jiannu to attack."

The confrontation is certainly safe, but if Jiannu can attack the camp and use the advantages of firearms to kill the enemy in large quantities, it can consume the enemy more quickly.

…………………………………………………………

The Battle of Liao began, and the main forces of the enemy and us were concentrated in Haicheng, and a bloody battle of tens of thousands of people was about to begin.

But as the entire combat plan for Ping Liao, southern Liaoning was just one of the battlefields. The first to achieve results, but the victory was in Liaodong.

After Lao Nu led the main force to fight south, Mao Wenlong and other generals were basically relieved. With Xiong Tingbi and tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals resisting, Jiannu's main force is no longer likely to reinforce Liaodong.

Therefore, the infiltration into Jianzhou and the interspersed military operations have been strengthened again. Dongjiang Town should take advantage of the main force of Jiannu being attracted and restrained and take the lead in achieving a great victory in Jianzhou.

Judging from the comparison of the forces of the two armies, this is a very sure battle. Although the Jaw Falcon Pass is dangerous and difficult to attack, the infiltration and penetration makes it difficult for Jiannu to protect the entire side, and the dangerous pass becomes an isolated city.

The pace of winter is getting closer and closer, and the land of Liaodong is already in full swing. It is almost yellow and dark when you see it. You can't see any green that symbolizes the vigorous green life.

So! Dudu held the horse's head. Although the weather was not very cold, the war horse still exhaled white air and showed fatigue.

Leading 4,000 cavalrymen, Du Du acted as a firefighting team and ran around Jianzhou, where the police were heard everywhere, suppressing and chasing.

However, the Ming army that infiltrated Jianzhou from multiple routes avoided the strong when encountering the weak, attacked the weak when encountering the times, attacked the villages and ambushed the small group of Jiannu, which made Du Du and the thousands of people exhausted.

There was no way, Du Du knew that division of troops was a taboo, but in order to deal with the attacks of the Ming army everywhere, he had to divide the 4,000 cavalry into four teams and go to various places to resist the Ming army.

With multiple small groups, the Ming army's harassment also gave Du Du an illusion that the Ming army could only cross mountains and ridges and sneak into Jianzhou from the steep path.

Due to the limited food and supplies carried, the Ming army would definitely not be a brigade, and the number of people should be very small.

It is precisely based on this judgment that Du Du divided his troops to chase and suppress the bandits and attacked the small Ming army that was hiding.

"Master Beile." After hearing the gunshots in the distance, they seemed to be sparse, they suggested: "Stop and go, the war horses can't stand it anymore."

Du Du hesitated, thought for a while and shook his head, "Persevere, otherwise he will run away again."

Rejuvenating his spirits, Du Du led his team to head straight for Sipengwotun.

"Hurry, hurry up, run quickly." A small Ming army flag official shouted loudly, urging about a hundred Liao people to drill into a small valley.

These Liao people carried their families with their families and only carried their luggage and bedding, running in panic. The sound of horse hooves in the distance became louder and louder, making them more and more frightened.

"Thousands and eight hundred Jiannu cavalry will arrive in a quarter of an hour." On the high treetop, a Ming soldier held a telescope and reported the enemy situation loudly.

The chief official named Li, a native of Liaodong, was only in his thirties, with a beard all over his face, but he looked like he was in his forties.

"The first team is on the left, the second team is on the right, and the third team is on the back." Li Qiguan drew a U-shaped figure on the ground, lit a few times, and looked up at the three small flag officials.

"clear."

"Follow the order."

The small flag officials agreed and ran away, commanding their respective subordinates to quickly ambush into their positions.

According to the arrangement of infiltration and harassment, one team of two hundred people and three teams as one general flag, and the action was carried out in a relatively fixed area, time-division and time-division.

Six hundred vs one thousand. If it was on the flat ground, Li Qi Officer would not dare to fight against Jiannu.

But with the help of the terrain, it is different. The small valley forms a natural pocket array. The crossing firepower of the two wings, coupled with the dangerous obstacles in the head, is enough to prevent the thousand-eight-hundred Jiannu from advancing.

After taking the kettle around his waist, Li Qiguan swept around his eyes like a thief, then pulled out the cork village, took a quick sip, and quickly covered it.

A fire line was counted from his throat to his abdomen, and Li Qiguan's eyes lit up, and he exhaled a long breath with the smell of wine with satisfaction.

The burning knife in Beijing is indeed strong and spicy!

Li Qiguan's eyes also glared, pressed the hilt of the knife around his waist, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, all of them are energetic and beat Jiannu to a fallen water."

"Fall flowers and flowing water!" Many Ming soldiers raised their muskets and shouted to cheer themselves up.

Official Li Qi lit his big head with satisfaction, forgetting that he had been punished twice for drinking. Although it was nothing wrong, this was a military rule and must be followed. Others did not have the massive amount of alcohol as water.

Du Du led the cavalry to Sipengwotun and was lost again. More than 20 Jurchens were already corpses everywhere, and there was no one in the village, only discarded debris.

This scene was not the first time that Dudu was witnessed, but it still made Dudu feel angry. He had a blue face and a flame of hatred shot out in his eyes.

"Master Bell, the enemy is fleeing into the mountains." The whistle who arrived first came back and reported, "and he also brought hundreds of Nikan."

"Chasing." A vicious word "" popped out from Du Du's mouth, and he ran away regardless of the fatigue of the horse.

A team of Ming troops arrested the back and protected the Liao people who were small and small to escape into the mountains. They could only see figures shaking from afar, which also made Jiannu who was chasing him very excited.

Finally, he caught these cunning and cowardly guys, killed them all, and avenged the Jurchens.

Jiannu made strange screams, some took bows and arrows, and some drew their swords and waved them, like a whirlwind, and rushed towards the enemy.

Du Du also widened his eyes and clenched his teeth. He tried to grab the enemy and shattered them one by one.

The cool breeze blew past his ears, and he suddenly felt a strange feeling, unable to tell what it was, but it was not very comfortable anyway.

But now there is no need to give orders, or it is a bit too late to give orders. The forward of the Jiannu Cavalry accelerated the pursuit without hesitation, and went deep into a small valley that was not deep and not high on both sides.

The Ming army, who was fleeing in front, stopped, turned around and occupied several mounds and grasslands, and raised the musket in their hands under the cover of natural obstacles.

Boom! Dozens of gunfires gathered together, roaring like a cannon, white smoke rose up, followed by a burst of people shouting and neighing.

As the blood mist splattered, the Jiannu people chasing ahead were overturned. The fallen people hindered the advance of the subsequent troops, which was not wide.

But Jiannu, who was blinded by hatred, did not retreat. They jumped off their war horses, held their shields and waved their swords, set off their bows and shot arrows, and continued to rush forward in the posture of fighting in the stance of a staircase.

Muskets followed one after another, and some Ming troops turned back from the mountains and forests and joined the middle of the comrades who were blocking the enemy's shooting.

More and more Jiannu abandoned his horse and joined the battle group. Arrows flew through the air, and lead bombs kept firing, and the two sides started a fierce battle.

Dudu held the horse's head, and before he could enter the small trumpet-shaped valley, he stopped at the entrance of the valley to watch and fight.

There were about two hundred people, which was consistent with the past information. The Ming army attacked everywhere on such a small team, causing him and the cavalry he led to run away.

Except for the cavalry vanguard riding his horse into the valley, as soon as the battle began, Jiannu abandoned his horse outside the valley and rushed in on foot with his weapons.

Although the number of people is far greater than that of the Ming army, Jiannu cannot use it here due to the terrain and terrain. However, the density of bows and arrows is increasing, and Du Du can see it, causing continuous losses to the Ming army.

The current casualties are greater than those of the enemy! Du Du made a judgment quickly, but he had no intention of withdrawing the troops. He always cared about casualties, so there was no need to fight.

The enemy has some ready-made obstacles to provide cover, and the musket is also sharp. The temporary casualties cannot represent the entire battle.

When the enemy retreats, the casualties ratio will be closer, or even overtake. How can Du Du, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, not understand this truth?

Gunshots roared and arrows flew. Jiannu kept approaching, and the Ming army began to retreat continuously.

Now we can still retreat without being chaotic, but it will soon turn into a defeat and flee in a panic.

Du Du pursed the corner of his lips, thinking that he had predicted the next scene.

The Ming army's step-by-step retreat caused more Jiannu to enter the valley, and the side back was completely exposed to the attack range of the jungle grass slopes on both sides of the valley.

Although Li Qiguan is good at drinking, he has never missed anything. He has experienced many battles and has rich combat experience.

Seeing that the friendly troops had retreated to the edge of the dense forest, he suddenly drank another drink and issued a counterattack order.

Swans rose one after another, and countless Ming troops suddenly appeared on both sides of the valley, with dark iron faces and various ferocious patterns. Countless muskets roared and roared towards Jiannu from the side.

Grenades with green smoke were thrown down from the top of the valley, rolling under Jiannu's feet, and a dazzling fire burst out. A deafening loud noise followed, and thick smoke rose.

Due to the need for concealment, Li Qi Officer did not adopt the tactic of marching and shooting, but instead changed the gun but did not replace the person. The shooter lay on the ground, the soldiers behind loaded ammunition and handed the gun forward.

Puff! A lead bullet hit the head of the guard Hundachan from the back. The strong guy who was shouting and waving a scimitar fell to the ground with the splash of blood, no different from a piece of wood.

The lead bullets were like rain, and the Ming army, which was only lined up in three rows, opened a long distance, and like the line tactics, it produced an amazing firepower output.

The straight line distance is only more than fifty meters, which is the effective range of the musket. In each round of shooting, almost a hundred guns are spewing flames.

The black gunpowder grenade was thrown from a high point, and the black smoke rising became heavier and heavier, blocking Du Du's vision. Du Du's mouth opened into an "O" shape, completely shocked by the violent ambush and his mind was blank.

"Belle--" The captain of the personal soldiers found that the Ming army's musketeers had shifted their muzzles and began to shoot at the soldiers approaching the valley entrance. He hurried forward and pulled up the reins and reminded loudly: "Go quickly, what's the danger here!"

Du Du's eyes were dull and then he woke up a little. Just as he was about to speak, a dull sound of "bang" sounded, and the head of the captain's personal soldiers burst out like a rotten watermelon, splashing his face with dirty blood.

Almost at the same time, several personal soldiers around him flew everywhere under the bombardment of heavy muskets, and screams were heard.

In order to lure Jiannu into the valley, the Ming army did not ambush soldiers at the entrance of the valley to avoid being discovered. After the battle started, more than a dozen heavy musketeers moved towards the entrance of the valley.

It was this little time that gave Du Du the chance to escape. The surviving personal soldiers protected Du Du and urged the horse to stay away. In the pursuit of muskets, many Jiannu were hit and fell down.

"Bastard, you're lucky." Li Qiguan held up his telescope and watched Jiannu's big boss escape in panic and escape from the range of the musket. He couldn't help but curse.

The muskets were still firing, but the grenades were no longer throwing. The smoke from the valley gradually dissipated, and what the Ming army saw was the miserable scene of the enemy corpses everywhere.

"I'll have horse meat tonight!" A soldier grinned, "Sir, horse meat is just wine, and the taste is even more beautiful!"

Official Li Qi also opened his mouth wide, took out the kettle, took a big sip, and laughed in a scent of alcohol, "Have fun, feel happy."
