"The Battle of Sarhu", the Ming army was defeated and the Later Jin Dynasty rose.

Now, the battlefield is set up in Sarhu again, and the Ming army and Jiannu will fight fiercely here.

Jiefan City is built on Tiebei Mountain. Not far from the west is the intersection of Hunhe and Suzi River. Tiebei Mountain is densely covered with trees and rugged rocks. It faces water on three sides and connects mountains on one side. It has an extremely dangerous geographical location.

Sarhu Mountain is also one of the dangerous places. Du Song's troops of the Ming army once built a camp here, but were later defeated by Jiannu in the fog.

But Jiannu was embarrassed to find that these two places were almost set up against foreign enemies. To put it bluntly, they were the gateways of Jianzhou Guards.

Dongjiang Town conquered Jianzhou Wei and marched towards Sarhu, which was equivalent to attacking from the back, and the two dangerous functions and functions were immediately greatly reduced.

Of course, if you resist the Ming army from Chenyang, Fushun, or from Kaiyuan and Tieling, it would be a replica of the early stage of the "Battle of Sarhu".

If you want to avoid being cut off from retreat, Jiannu must defend the Jiefan City and ensure a way to retreat to the west. As for Sarhu, there is no defensive meaning before the Liao and Shen Ming army arrives.

After Du Du led the defeated army back, Huang Taiji knew that something was wrong and hurriedly organized troops to set up defenses in Jiefan City.

After Daishan and Dorgon decided to give up Chenyang, they hurriedly sent Sahalian to lead the two banners of men to Sarhu.

If Jianzhou can still support it, Jiannu will be prepared to repel Dongjiang Town first and then defend Sarhu; if Jianzhou is no longer controlled, then guarantee a path to retreat north.

Standing in the Jiefan City, Huang Taiji looked into the distance, his face was grim and he seemed very heavy.

Du Du sighed heavily and said, "I didn't expect that the Ming cavalry was so strong. When we confronted head-on, our Jianzhou Warriors not only had no chance of winning, but were still at a disadvantage."

Huang Taiji lowered his eyes and did not respond immediately.

"After all, it's still the gap in manpower." Du Du seemed to have some understanding and continued: "The Ming army's tactics have been understood, and it is to replace people with others and fight for one to die together."

Sahalian smiled helplessly and said, "In the battle in Haicheng, the Ming cavalry played this way. After hearing what you said, I understand. But I really can't afford to fight the Ming Dynasty's population and the big gold!"

Huang Taiji spoke slowly and said, "It was because the Ming army relied on its strong military strength and sharp firearms that gradually reversed the situation and gained the upper hand. To this day, my Dajin is in danger and extremely critical."

"It's a pity-" Huang Taiji slapped the cold city wall bricks with emotion and said, "If I could understand these several years ago, and not rush to launch an attack, and suffered repeated setbacks under the artillery of the city, the situation might not be so sinister."

Sahalian nodded and said yes. He admired and favored Huang Taiji. He was not directed at his father Daishan, which was also a strange thing.

Although Du Du agreed, he did not agree. The resources of Dajin only have so many. If he doesn’t launch an attack to loot, wouldn’t he wait for destruction?

If you are defeated in the battle, it is a problem of tactics and equipment; if you sit and eat and wait to die, it is a strategic mistake.

Huang Taiji also knew that this was a hindsight, and he was not useless. He was even disrespectful to his deceased father Khan. He quickly changed the topic and said, "No one would have thought that the Ming court changed so quickly and the Ming army made such rapid progress. In the final analysis, the Ming country had many resources and sufficient foundation. All the changes were actually money and materials."

"Belle said it very well." Du Du agreed this time and said, "The elite armor and soldiers are profitable, and the food and salary are sufficient. The biggest change of the Ming army is these two aspects."

Sahalian nodded and said, "It seems simple, but it is not easy to do it. I admire the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. He has thunderous means to clean up the court and to make money to provide food and money."

Huang Taiji breathed a long sigh and said, "I have to admire him. Dajin still underestimated this young emperor. He has courage, means, and strategy. The key is that he is not afraid of stigma."

"You can only use any means to avoid stigma, and it is the most difficult to deal with." Sahalian shook his head and said, "Just talking about fake news in the newspaper, I have deceived us many times."

Huang Taiji showed an embarrassing smile on his face. Even he had been deceived, which was really embarrassing.

At this moment, Luo Xiujin caught up with the city wall and reported on the emergency repair of fortifications.

Huang Taiji knew that no matter how well the fortifications were, he could not completely stop the Ming army from cutting off the road to retreat north. Because in addition to Sarhu, if the Ming army deviated greatly, he could also achieve the same goal in Qingyuan.

Therefore, after listening to Luo Xiujin's report, he ordered to continue to build a defensive array and send messengers to urge the military and civilians of Liaoshen to accelerate their retreat.

Now, there is no complete solution. Even if the Ming army's attempt to intercept, they can live safely by retreating to Haixi. Wouldn't the Ming army continue to pursue it?

But at present, this is the last choice. Otherwise, there would be no chance to lie on firewood and taste gall again.

……………………………………………….

The flags fluttered in the cold wind, and tens of thousands of Ming troops were surging, moving towards Sarhu.

This is the total number of people in Dongjiang Town, including nearly 40,000 horses, horses, stairs, cavalry and cannons.

After Jiannu was defeated in Haicheng, even if he concentrated his troops, he would only be different from Dongjiang Town, as if he had completely lost the possibility of superior troops.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong was full of confidence and the commander attacked Sarhu, preparing to achieve his merits in one battle.

The so-called "finding one's contribution in one battle" is just to pacify Liao, not destroy slaves. In Mao Wenlong's opinion, it is unlikely that it will destroy Jiannu with one blow.

Mao Wenlong had thought about it before going to Qingyuan to cut off the retreat of Jiannu, but he soon rejected it.

The reason is very simple. The transportation and supply of food and supplies has reached its limit, and the consequences of forcing one's army alone are quite serious.

Because of this, Mao Wenlong believed that the goal was achieved by trying his best to kill Jiannu and driving him to Haixi.

It’s not that I don’t want it, but that I can’t. Mao Wenlong was also helpless about it.

What's more, when winter is approaching, a heavy snowfall may block supply transportation. Too deeper and more risky. When Ping Liao is already in sight, the impact will be very bad if it is already victorious.

"Hetuala and Xingjing (Xinbin Old Town) have been captured, and Sarhu is of considerable significance." Gou Zhenhuai was half a horse head behind Mao Wenlong, and was very interested and talked happily: "It seems that he is more sure to complete the great cause of pacifying Liao before the Spring Festival and present a gift for long live."

Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "If you won't win in the end, you should be careful. Although Jiannu is at a loss, he must be on the verge of struggle."

Gou Zhenhuai nodded and smiled, "Ship Mao is calm, not enough."

After pausing, Gou Zhenhuai said with emotion: "Since the Battle of Guangning, I have been in Liaodong for several years. Now that the great achievements are coming, I can also return to Beijing to report to Long Live."

Mao Wenlong slowed down his horse and walked with Gou Zhenhuai, and asked, "General Gou has been transferred to the military position. Do you still have to return to the Pacification Office?"
