Volume 1: Rectifying the Chao Gang Chapter 46 Conquering Jianzhou Jurchen(1/2)

Although Borta claimed that he was a long-term descendant of the great Mengge Timur, he was a tough guy who would never reveal the whereabouts of his tribe to the Ming army, and he would never be a traitor. However, under the unique torture of the Ming army, he still recruited

, he told Xu Guan the specific location of the Jurchens in Jianzhou and the tribal defenses.

Xu Guan immediately summoned the generals to discuss the expedition. This meeting was held secretly to prevent the news from leaking out. Only a few senior generals from Liaodong could attend.

Xu Guan ordered his people to draw a rough map of what Borta said and showed it to the generals:

"We must keep this battle secret and give the Jianzhou Jurchens a heavy blow, Yuan Guang!"

"The mark is on."

"In this battle, your 8,000 troops will set out first and sneak into the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou. You must remove all their outposts. After they are removed, continue to pursue me fiercely."

"I'll give you the order." Yuan Guang went out to receive the military order and immediately went to prepare.

"Yanchun."

"The mark is on."

"For this battle, you have five thousand troops. You must lead the army immediately. You must make a large circle around the Lingfeng slope behind the Jurchens in Jianzhou. Rest here and prepare to set up an ambush. Remember to let their leading army pass and launch from the middle.

To intercept them, be sure to divide them into two sections for me."

"Mark the order."

After Xu Guan finished his instructions, he glanced at the generals, thought for a while and said to the garrison commander Lu: "Go to Li Chao, tell them the battle plan, act as their guide, and form an encirclement together."

"Mark the order."

"Everyone, please remember that this battle must be kept secret. Anyone who dares to reveal the information secretly will be killed! We will break camp at midnight tonight!"

The Ming army has completed its arrangements and is proceeding quietly, but the Jianzhou Jurchens are completely unaware of it. Inside the Jianzhou Jurchens' big tent.

"Chief, the Haixi Jurchen tribe is really ignorant. We haven't beaten him yet, but they have come to provoke us. We need to show them some color!" Bai said.

Tuoluo did not speak. He always felt that something was strange. Why did the Haixi Jurchens suddenly declare a challenge to him? Could it be that Borta, who was far away in Liaoyang, had succeeded in his plan? The Ming army turned its anger on the Haixi Jurchens, and the Haixi Jurchens

Did the Jurchens know that it was the Jianzhou Jurchens who were responsible? If so, then there is nothing to fear from the Haixi Jurchens. Without the protection of the Ming Kingdom, you Haixi Jurchens are like tigers without teeth. If this is the Haixi Jurchens

This is a trick to lure the enemy, so if he rashly leads the army to fight against the Haixi Jurchens, there will be no guarantee for the rear.

Tuoluo did not dare to act rashly, so he asked Uncle Han, who was always very resourceful.

As expected, Hanerbo still expressed his objection. He said: "It is not yet sure whether Borta's plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf has been successful. But what is certain is that the Haixi Jurchen Department should have known it.

We put the blame on them. We are still not sure whether the Ming army believes us, and we must not go out rashly. In my opinion, we should stay away from the Haixi Jurchens for the time being and wait on the sidelines to wait for the Ming army to send troops before making a judgment.

!”

"Judgment, judgement, Han'erbo, you are a coward. Even if you don't dare to fight with the Ming army, you are even afraid of the Haixi Jurchen. Isn't the saber hanging on your waist instead of a branch? Isn't what you're drinking mare's kumiss?"

Water?" Tuoyuanbao scolded.

The other generals were also dissatisfied and protested one after another. Indeed, judging from the personality of nomadic people, they regarded it as a humiliation that they should not fight, and running away was a humiliation.

Seeing that everyone was dissatisfied, Tuoluo gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will follow your instructions and fight with the Haixi Jurchens! Of course, what Han'erbo said is not unreasonable. We must ensure the stability of our rear. Han'er

I will leave you three thousand cavalry and you will be responsible for guarding the rear. If there is any trouble, please send your horse to notify me immediately!"

Seeing this, Han'erbo remonstrated: "Chief, shouldn't we be wary of the Ming army? The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is incomparable to the Haixi Jurchens!"

Tuo Yuanbao snorted coldly: "The grassland is so big, can the Ming Dynasty know where our tribe is? By the time they go around in circles on the grassland, we will have already finished dealing with the Haixi Jurchens!"

Tuoluo smiled and said: "Okay, my son is so ambitious! Everyone listens to the order and breaks camp tonight. We can deal with the Haixi Jurchen by surprise!"



A few days later, eight thousand Ming troops, led by Yuan Guang, had quietly reached the Jurchen camp in Jianzhou.

"Kill!"

In the dark night, the three Ming armies lined up in order, holding bright torches, stampeding with smoke and dust, and the ground shaking. They fiercely launched a fierce attack on the Jurchen front post in Jianzhou, which was ten miles away.

"Hold on tight and send people to ask for help from the leader!" shouted a Jianzhou Jurchen general. He gritted his teeth and commanded the Jianzhou Jurchens to resist stubbornly, using the fortification trenches to fire arrows at the Ming army.

Ask the leader for help.

But how could the few Jurchen troops at the front of Jianzhou withstand the sudden attack of the Ming army, which was more than ten times their own? All positions were destroyed in a short time.

Yuan Guang did not stay for a while and continued to lead the Ming army to attack the Jurchen base camp in Jianzhou.

The Ming army with high morale resolved the battle in less than half an hour, Han'erbo was captured alive, and the two thousand Jianzhou Jurchens were basically wiped out.

At this time, Tuoluo led more than 20,000 cavalry to approach the Haixi Jurchen camp. When the two sides met during the day, they started a battle. Because the Jianzhou Jurchens had traveled a long distance, while the Haixi Jurchens were waiting for work, the result of the field battle during the day was that the Haixi Jurchens

The Jurchens were victorious, and the Jianzhou Jurchens were defeated. After the war, the Jianzhou Jurchens were like a defeated rooster, with low morale.

Suddenly there was a heavy fog at night. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Toluo decided to take his son Yuanbao and the fierce general Bai Yi, and selected three thousand elite cavalry to prepare for a night attack on the Jurchen camp in Haixi.

An hour later, Tuoluo, Tuoyuanbao, and Bai led three thousand cavalry and quietly approached the Haixi Jurchen camp.

In order to avoid disturbing the enemy, everyone marched slowly along the way. Horses and whips were not allowed, so as not to disturb the enemy scouts. Because of the heavy fog and confusion, they did not encounter a patrol team along the way, which made everyone secretly surprised.

Estimating that there were still four or five miles to go from the Haixi Jurchen camp, he reined up his horse and lowered his voice to tell his son to take off Yuanbao. Bayi said: "It's only the first hour at this moment. If the Hada tribe is prepared, the enemy will be defeated."

The army will definitely be on guard at this moment. Why don't we hide here until the end of Yin Shi, when the sky is dawning. At that time, we are tired and sleepy, and the morale of the army is slack. If we rush in unexpectedly, we will definitely win!"

"This is a great plan, chief!" Bai Yi, Tuo Yuan Baoju all nodded in agreement with Tuoluo's proposal.

Everyone understands in their hearts that even with more than a thousand men on their own, they cannot achieve much lethality. The main purpose is to dampen the spirit of the Hercynian Jurchen Army and boost their own military morale. As long as they can rush in and harass them, they will be safe again.

Retreating will achieve the strategic goal.

Haixi Jurchen Army Camp.

Although they won a victory during the day, Suheite and the leader of the Yehe Tribe, Esutu, were not dazzled by the victory. While holding a banquet to celebrate, they ordered several thousand households to be on strict guard against the Jurchens in Jianzhou robbing the camp.

Five thousand Haixi Jurchen soldiers each armed with bows and crossbows lay in ambush around the surrounded Gulieyan. They waited until the fourth watch and could not hear the slightest movement. At this time, the fog became thicker and thicker, and the sky and the earth were vast.

"Ah wu..."

After fighting for a day and staying up for most of the night, the Haixi Jurchen soldiers reached the most tired and sleepy moment. They yawned one after another, and each one became languid. They squatted on the ground and dozed off.

After Suheite slept for two hours, he went out to patrol the night. When he saw the white mist between the sky and the earth, and the soldiers all yawning, he ordered the entire army to return to camp to rest and regain their energy to fight tomorrow. Only some of them were left behind.

The soldiers were patrolling after resting in the first half of the night. Seeing that the sky was about to get brighter in the next hour, they thought that the Jurchens who came to Jianzhou were killed during the day and were too timid to throw themselves into the trap again.

Guessing that at the end of the Mao period, the world was still in chaos, Tuoluo picked up his sword, mounted his horse, and shouted: "Follow me, Jurchen warriors of Jianzhou, and chop off the enemy's heads!"

The soldiers who had just fallen asleep in the Haixi Jurchen camp had no idea that death had already come to them. The three thousand Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry who had recharged their batteries roared and rushed down from around the Haixi Jurchen camp.

Many Jurchen soldiers were killed by a knife before they had time to shout.

"It's not good! It's not good! Jianzhou has robbed the camp!"

The Haixi Jurchen army that had just relaxed suddenly fell into chaos, shouting one after another. In the vast darkness of night, no one knew how many Jianzhou Jurchens came, but they just shouted in panic to remind their companions to take precautions.

"Set me an arrow!"

Turo took the lead on horseback, waving his saber and leading the cavalry to charge from east to west. Anyone who met a living person along the way would be hacked to death regardless of their identity.

Three thousand Jianzhou Jurchen cavalrymen drew their bows on their horses and lit rockets dipped in sulfur and pine resin. They shot out like raindrops towards the tents in all directions. The ignited fire was blazing, and the tents connected to each other were quickly moved by the wind.

This shows the potential of a spark igniting a prairie fire.

Suheite had just returned to the tent to sleep. He thought that the night would pass peacefully, but unexpectedly something happened at the moment when dawn was approaching. He hurriedly got up, not even bothering to put on his armor, and rushed forward with a saber in his hand.

go out.

"My sons, don't panic. Assemble each team to me, and the hundreds and thousands of households will direct them to form an array around Gulie. You are not allowed to run around, so as not to trample on each other!" Suheite held a saber and restrained loudly.

Team.

After dawn, corpses were everywhere in the Haixi Jurchen camp. Suheita gritted his teeth and said: "I will make you pay with your blood for this debt!"

Jianzhou Jurchen, under the leadership of their leader Tuo Luo, Tuo Yuan Bao and Bai Yi, invaded the western Haixi Jurchen and achieved miraculous results.

On the way back to the camp, Tuo Yuanbao said with a smile: "Father, I have told you a long time ago that the Haixi Nuzhen are the lackeys of the Ming Dynasty. They have nothing to fear!"

Tuoluo also won the battle. At this time, a triumphant smile appeared on his tired face. Suddenly a knight came running and shouted: "The leader is in trouble! The leader is in trouble!"

When Toluo heard this, he looked behind him and galloped towards him.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The detective said breathlessly: "Our base camp has been captured by the Ming army, and they are heading here to kill us now!"

Tuoluo was shocked when he heard this: "Did you see clearly? It is indeed the Ming army?"

Tanqi said: "It is indeed the Ming army. They are all wearing Ming army uniforms."

However, Tuo Yuanbao asked nonchalantly: "How many people have they come? It just so happens that we can learn from the Ming army."

"Going back to the leader, I don't know how many people from the Ming army have arrived. I only know that their shouts are heard all over the mountains and plains."

Tuo Luo turned around and glared at Tuoyuan Bao and said angrily: "You bastard, how can you be so ignorant of the heaven and earth? Do you think the Ming army is as vulnerable as Haixi?"

"Where's Uncle Han?"

The Tanqi sighed and said, "I was ordered by Han'erbo Wanhu to break through the siege and deliver a message to the leader. Before I left, the camp had been breached by the Ming army!"

Tuoluo closed his eyes in despair and sighed: "I really regret not listening to Uncle Han's advice! Now we are attacked from both sides. We must not be impulsive. We must save our troops. As long as there are people, horses, and swords, there is still a chance to kill

You're back! Bai Yi, go back and quickly reorganize your army and horses, and we will retreat towards Lingfengpo!"
