Chapter 192 The main force of the Eight Banners

"This is impossible. How many people are there in the Fu Liao army that captured the stone fort? How many artillery are there?" The flag owner Amin sat in amazement on his main chair and asked in disbelief.

"It is estimated that there are about a thousand people, and the number of artillery is unknown." The spy said, "but as we see, a gap was blown out of the stone fort, and it is estimated that the Liao army will break through it."

"It's gunpowder again, it's gunpowder again!" Amin trembled all over in anger.

In the battle of Liaodong City, Shengjing, who was most reliant on the Later Jin Dynasty, was opened by Chu Yun's ten thousand kilograms of explosives. Unexpectedly, he replied to the Liao army's old tricks and used the fierce explosives again.

"Why is the gunpowder of the Fu Liao army so powerful? After the defeat of Shengjing, our craftsmen of the Great Jin Kingdom developed gunpowder, but none of the gunpowder could reach one-tenth of the gunpowder of the Fu Liao army." A general of the Eight Banners complained.

"If the Liao army had such a thousand pounds of gunpowder, wouldn't we never have any danger to defend again?" Everyone looked at each other and thought about it carefully.

"The fall of the flag owner, the stone fortress means that the Fu Liao army has embedded a nail between our blue flag and the blue flag, which can be divided and eliminated at any time. What should we do?" said Jiala Ezhen, named Zatai.

Amin was angry, but now that things have come to this, I can only think about how to make up for it.

"Zhatai, you lead a cavalry along the Hunhe River to cut off the food route of this army, and at the same time prevent the Fu Liao army from attacking at Fushun Pass. Isn't this thousand-man unit trying to cut off our connection with Zhenglan Banner? We joined forces with Zhenglan Banner to eliminate this army." Amin thought for a while and said.

"That's right, the other side had more than a thousand people going deep into the army alone. The two banners had tens of thousands of troops, ten times that of him. Isn't it easy to encircle and suppress an isolated army?" A group of generals of the Eight Banners were a little calm.

They made a good idea and planned to contact Manguertai of the Inlaid Blue Banner to attack He Yi and his group. However, the disaster did not happen alone. At this time, the Eight Banners scouts hidden near Fushun Pass heard news that the Fu Liao army was advancing on the entire line!

"Report, we will retaliate that the main force of the Liao army will advance east along the south bank of the Hun River, and will reach our Sarhu!"

"Reported, a group of 5,000 members of the Liao army went out of Fushun Pass and entered the Suzi River Valley, suspected that they intended to reinforce the lonely army in the direction of the stone fort!"

"Reported, a group of 5,000 people from the Liao army went out of Fushun Pass, seized the battlements along the way, built forts, and built grain channels for their grain trucks!"

...

A series of news rushed to Sarhu almost at the same time like snowflakes, making Amin and others sweat profusely. This was no longer a small-scale raid, but a large-scale battle!

"Quick...Quick...Quick...Quick and send the news to Hetuala, let His Majesty lead the main force to come, and the decisive battle with the Fu Liao army was advanced." Amin knew that the troops of his own flag could no longer control the situation here.

"Sir, what should I do? Do I still need to cut off their food route?" Zhatai thought that he was going to lead his troops deep into the siege of the Fu Liao army, and it was a bit of a surprise.

If the entire main force of the Refuge Liao army went deep into the ground, sneak attacking the grain road is a good choice. But it is obvious that the Refuge Liao army was promoted in a planned and hierarchical manner, and had special troops to protect the grain road.

"You continue to bring a thousand cavalry around them, waiting for an opportunity to attack and attack their food team." Amin thought about it and still felt that the mobility of the cavalry should be needed. "The rest of them defended on Mount Sarhu, waiting for our main force to arrive to form a counter-encircle of the Fu Liao army."

Huang Taiji summoned troops from all over the country, in addition to the Zhenglan Banner and the Inlaid Blue Banner on the Sarhu line, and the Zhenglan Banner on the Qinghebao line, Huang Taiji also had five flags, two red flags, two yellow flags, and the Inlaid White Banner. Among them, the Inlaid White Banner was almost completely destroyed by Grand Duke Karl in the Battle of the Great Liao River, and it was Huang Taiji re-established, with the young general Dorgon as the head of the Inlaid White Banner.

In order to strengthen his decisive battle, Huang Taiji had to re-establish a Han flag and activate Li Yongfang as the leader of the Han flag.

"The Liao army has restored more than 20,000 troops to attack Sarhu, and more than 10,000 people have gone to the front line of Qinghe Fort, intending to attack us from both sides. It is exactly the same as the layout of the Ming army in the battle of Sarhu nine years ago. The only difference is that they only have two troops, and the number is smaller than that of the Ming army at that time... However, the combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the Ming army at that time." Huang Taiji stared at the topographic map, as if he was recalling how he defeated the Ming army nine years ago.

"The Fu Liao army is just repeating the failure of the Ming army in the past. We can still concentrate all our troops like the previous kings, defeat the Fu Liao army that attacked Sarhu, and then quickly go south to defeat the Fu Liao army on the southern route." Dorgon, who appeared in the meeting, said.

"It's not that simple." Huang Taiji shook his head, "At that time, the Ming army was weak. We could easily defeat their main force and then defeat them one by one, so that they could not form a siege. But this time, there were only two routes of the Liao army. If we could not defeat their main force, we would fall into the siege. It was incomparable to the same as nine years ago."

"Where have the two flags of the Chahar tribe now?" Huang Taiji, who wanted to concentrate all his strength, fled back to the Later Jin Dynasty Fan Wencheng.

"I dare not speak..." Fan Wencheng escaped from the Korqin tribe at that time and was a little lame because of this. At this time, he heard Huang Taiji ask about the affairs of the Chameng tribe, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"The Great Jin Kingdom has reached the point of life and death, what else can I dare not say or not!" Huang Taiji was a little angry.

"Yes! The Chahar tribe came to report, and they were suddenly attacked by the Korqin tribe, and they lost countless cattle and sheep, and were unable to advance eastward to support our Great Jin Kingdom..." Fan Wencheng said carefully.

"Bastard! The Korqin tribe is too much. I marry his daughter of Mangus as my queen and give them various preferential treatments to the Korqin tribe. I didn't expect to develop a white-eyed wolf. It would be fine if I didn't help us in times of crisis, but I dared to put down the wrongs!" Huang Taiji was indeed furious, which made all the ministers and generals dare not speak out.

"Your Majesty, now, as Dorgon said, we can only take a single bet and concentrate our forces to eliminate their main force before we can rescue the siege. "The Lord of Zhenghong Banner Dai Shan said, "We can leave Ajige's Zhengbai Banner to defend the line on Qinghe Fort, and then concentrate the seven flags and the Han Banners with more than 50,000 troops, and defeat them with their superior strength."

"What if they cannot destroy their main force?" Huang Taiji said worriedly.

"Even if we cannot fight quickly, we can turn from attack to defense, and then divide our troops back to defend Hetulala. But by then, we may be in a bad situation." Daishan also had to admit it.
