Chapter Eight
Because Daishan was a nobleman, he also learned Chinese since childhood. He said to Liu Zhaosun, "I, Dajin, respect the warriors. Can this general leave his name? Why don't you surrender? Since the Dajin started his army last year, he has attacked the villages and plundered the land. There are also some Han warriors in the camp. It is better for you to surrender to us. I guarantee you to be prosperous and wealthy in my Dajin. How about it?"
"Haha, joke, a certain family is Liu Zhaosun, a thousand households under the command of Liu Junmen. Nurhaci was originally a servant of Li Chengliang, the general of Liaodong. The court appointed Nurhaci as the general of Dragon and Tiger and the commander of Jianzhou Guard. The savages such as the savages did not think about the kindness of the Celestial Dynasty and did not obey the emperor's orders, but instead raised an army to rebel. Is this what a minister should do?" Liu Zhaosun glared at him.
Dai Shan was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Liu Zhaosun said again: "Today, the court sent 470,000 troops, divided into four groups to attack Hetuar, gathering elite troops from the whole country to attack Far, etc. When will you not surrender at this time?"
Dai Shan shook his head and said, "General Liu, you may not know yet. The central and northern army of General Du Song and General Malin were wiped out by the Khan personally led the troops a few days ago. Du Song was killed in a formation." Liu Zhaosun was shocked and said, "What did you say?"
"Yes, that's it. A few days ago, the two yellow flags and two blue flags had already wiped out the two armies of the Ming Dynasty. Now the army of the Zhengbai flag may have defeated your infantry rear team."
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Liu Zhaosun murmured to himself, "Master, our Sichuan Army, our Sichuan Army." Liu Zhaosun slowly knelt down to Liu Jing's body and said.
"Okay, warriors, tie him up and leave him to the Khan for treatment." Dai Shan ordered, "Yeah!" Several vests were holding ropes to tie Liu Zhaosun. Liu Zhaosun suddenly grew up and slashed the vest that was walking in front to the ground with one sword. He turned the blade and said loudly: "There is a general who died in battle in the Ming Dynasty, but there is no general who surrendered. I hope Yi'er can avenge me, military, adopted father! I'm sorry!" After saying that, he committed suicide with his sword, and the blood sword gushed, and the snow on the ground was melted by blood. Liu Zhaosun knelt on one knee and died like this.
The bodies of the Ming and Jin soldiers were lying all over the battlefield. In this battle, the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army was destroyed by more than 2,000 horses and servants of the army, and only a few escaped.
The Ming Dynasty records that "the army on the hills rushed down from high, attacking the army, and fought to the death. Those who went to the west attacked the west attacked again, but the army could not support them. The Qing soldiers took advantage of the situation to pursue and encountered the second battalion of the army behind the rear. Before Chen, they were again captured by the Qing soldiers and were defeated and died in the battle. The adopted son Liu Zhaosun was the most brave. He broke through the siege and killed several people with his hand. He also died. There were not many soldiers who escaped."
(Author's note: Liu Jing's army was wiped out in the Battle of Sarhu. Liu Jing and his adopted son Liu Zhaosun died in battle. The author adopted the Ming Dynasty's theory. The "Supplementary of the Ming Dynasty's Chronicles" records: "Zhidian was injured in the left arm. He fought again, and was injured in the right arm. He was still fighting fiercely. From Si to You, the inside and outside were cut off. He was cut into a knife in the face and cut off half of his cheeks, and he still clashed with left and right people, killing dozens of people. There is also "Shidden Records in the Mountains", and some changes have occurred in the record of this matter:Zhidian suddenly ran his troops and fought out, and the sword was severely injured. Yi'er Liu Zhaosun was buried in the body.
, striking the sword and killing dozens of people, were also killed. Because the supplementary records and the records of hearings here are not official history, although many people criticized the Ming Dynasty as being compiled by the Qing people. Because it was written from the perspective of the Qing Dynasty, the water may be very high, but this is the official history after all, and it may be in the number of killing enemies and the number of deaths in its own way. However, the battle process should have certain reference value. Of course, this is just the author's own opinion. If a book friend has meaning, you can privately discuss this matter. The author himself is also very interested in the history of the late Ming Dynasty and hopes to learn from others' strengths.)
After Liu Zhaosun committed suicide, Dai Shan ordered his left and right to cut off his and Liu Jing's heads, wrapped in white cloth and buried them on the spot. The heads were asked Alin Bao to take a few vests back to report the Khan's victory. Then he rectified the troops, took the vests as the leader, and the armored men and archers, and headed straight forward. Their goal was to eliminate the rear team of the Eastern Route Army. At this time, after Nurhaci finished cooking the Northern Route Army and the Central Route Army, he also rectified the troops and rushed towards Abu Daligang. The unfortunate fate was still waiting for the Eastern Route Army.
Qiao Yiqi and Jiang Hongli's men were rushing to the road, but they were still not afraid of dense arrows shooting from the dense forest on the slope of the road. They shot hundreds of Korean musketeers in the front of the team on the spot. Jiang Hongli shouted behind the array. Qiao Yiqi hurriedly said to Jiang Hongli: "General Jiang, there is an open space on the way we just came, and we retreated there immediately. The road is now narrow, and the musketeers, archers and Folang machines cannot be used. I will take the people to take them first, and you will take the Korean soldiers to array."
"Okay, that's all." Jiang Hongli replied, "Get back and set up in the rear!" He commanded the Korean soldiers, "General Jin led the horse team to drive away the enemies in the forest."
At this time, because Huang Taiji had few soldiers, he did not order the entire army to assault, but instead gave in to the Arctic Arc to kill the enemy with bows and arrows, while rectifying the Zhengbai Banner Vest. "Warriors, come with me to cut off their marching long snake formation, so that they could not look after each other, drive!" "Roar!" More than a thousand Zhengbai Banner Vests rushed out of the dense forest.
Because Huang Taiji was Nurhaci's favorite son, he gave Huang Taiji some Ming armor when he was allocating military funds. At this time, hundreds of Zhengbaiqi vests rushed to the front. In addition to imitating Ming armor, they were also lined with cotton armor or chain armor. Thirty steps outside the Kaiyuan bow could not break the armor. After the Ming army's counterattack shot them, they just hung crookedly on the outer armor and could not go deep. However, the Jin soldiers' arrows and piercing arrows could easily penetrate the Ming army's infantry armor, because the infantry themselves only had a layer of cotton armor, and a large part of the Korean rake soldiers only wore leather armor. When the North Korean military caps were large, they did not even have an iron helmet. The arrows themselves were strong and heavy. With the help of horsepower, they were twice the result with half the effort. The vests fired several arrows in a row outside fifty steps, shooting the Korean soldiers retreating in a row.
I don't know who took the lead in shooting, but the North Korean musket soldiers opened fire at the Jin soldiers before they were arranged. Jiang Hongli was anxious: "Big, who told you to fire, who!" The Korean army's musket tactics were mastered from Japan. During the Japanese turmoil in the Ion Chen, the Japanese iron cannon was very powerful. The musket three-stage attack made the Korean soldiers cry and moan. If the Ming Dynasty had not sent troops and used its own artillery advantages to bombard the Japanese musket formations from a long distance many times, the Japanese army would not dare to fight in the field and only dare to defend the city. I am afraid that North Korea would have been incorporated into the Japanese territory.
After the North Korean musket soldiers laid their muskets randomly, they hurriedly reloaded under Jiang Hongli's order. Seeing the critical situation, Jin Yinghe hurriedly led the horse to lead the cavalry back to intercept the Zhengbai Banner cavalry, but the Korean cavalry was not the opponent of the Eight Banners Vests. After a while of fighting, they were at a disadvantage. They were killed one after another by long swords, heavy swords, and arrows.
Jin Yinghe pierced a vest's chest with a knife, but he grabbed the handle of the knife tightly. He couldn't pull the knife out for a while. A Zhuangda next to him took a break. The big knife slashed down and cut Jin Yinghe's right hand holding the knife and his arm. Blood was like a spring in the broken arm. Jin Yinghe screamed and turned over and fell off the horse, but was stabbed by another vest. After struggling for a moment, there was no movement. Jiang Hong stood there looking dozens of steps away, looking sincerely, and shouted in grief and anger: "General Jin!"
The Ming army ahead was led by Qiao Yiqi and the archers of Zhengbai Banners hiding in the woods. The mountain road was crowded. Qiao Yiqi shouted loudly, but heard the rumbling sound in front of him. The earth was shaking. Dai Shan's horse team led the two red flags to kill first. Dai Shan did not stop and immediately commanded the vests to fight and attack the Ming army in the chaos. The Zhengbai Banner infantry on both sides saw reinforcements coming together and shouted out from the dense forest. They attacked the Ming army on both sides. Dai Shan charged and called the soldiers to shout that Liu Jing was dead. The Ming army was in chaos for a while, and even Qiao Yiqi was stunned and didn't know what to do.
At that time, two red flag horses had already rushed into the Ming army. The Ming army, which was not as good as the formation, was scattered. Countless Ming soldiers fled all over the mountains and fields, and Jin soldiers shot thousands of arrows at the same time, and Qiao Yiqi was shot to death on the spot. The Ming army collapsed. The defeated soldiers attacked the Korean soldiers in the back formation. The lead bullets of the North Korean muskets and soldiers had not yet been loaded, threw down the muskets, turned around and ran away. For a while, countless military flags were lost. The Jin horses and infantry armor chased the Ming army all over the mountains and fields, killing the sky and the earth, and blood flowed.
