After Xiong Tingbi defeated Xianghuang Banner, he had no time to clean up the battlefield and quickly gathered his troops towards the Jiannu Camp.
The generals of the Ming army looked at the corpse of Jiannu on the ground with reluctance. The head hadn't even been cut off yet. Why was Taitai in such a hurry?
But they did not dare to resist the order and could only reluctantly leave.
The defeat of Xianghuang Banner greatly boosted the morale of Xiong Tingbi and the Ming army. It turned out that Jiannu was not invincible. At this time, their morale was extremely high, which had never been seen since the Saar Hu.
The Ming army led by Tong Zhongkui was unable to break through Zhenghuang Banner's defense line. The two armies were about the same size, and Jiannu was in the right place at the right time. Although Tong Zhongkui fought hard and took the lead, he still could not defeat Jiannu.
"Father Khan, in less than half an hour, all the Ming army will be wiped out!"
Derge is the tenth son of Nuerhachi, but he does not have any great talents, otherwise he would not be placed in Lianghuangqi by Nuerhachi.
"Well, I noticed that this Ming army has a banner with the character "Tong". I think they are soldiers and horses from Liaoyang. I tell you guys to end this battle as soon as possible and follow me to capture Xiong Manzi alive!"
Nuerhachi had already figured out the entire Liaoshen. Among the generals of the Ming army in Liaodong, there was only one deputy general in aid of the Liao Dynasty, Tong Zhongkui.
From this, Nuerhachi judged that they must be soldiers and horses of Liaoyang, and he was secretly happy. He knew that Xiong Manzi must have come in person, but he was not here. This time, he would defeat Shenyang once and for all. .
But at this moment, a Jiannu detective knight brought extremely bad news to Nuerhachi.
"Great Khan, it's bad, the Xianghuang Banner has been defeated, the Ming army has already passed through the camp!"
Nuerhachi turned his head sharply, stared closely at the detective and said:
"What did you say?"
The detective trembled and said:
"Back to the Great Khan, Tang Gu was afraid of the enemy before the battle and led his guards to flee. As a result, the Xianghuang Banner was repulsed by the Ming army. Now the Ming army has rushed through the camp!"
At this time, Nu'erha Chi's lungs were about to burst with anger. Nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses were defeated like this. He really wanted to twist off Tang Gu's head.
Nuerhachi said in a deep voice:
"Where's Sansi?"
"Back to the Great Khan, Sangxi has gathered his troops and is heading this way."
Nuerhachi asked again:
"Where are Tanggu and Abai?"
"Missing!"
Nuerhachi frowned, her lips trembled slightly, and then she said:
"Send orders to Sang Xi to meet up here before the Ming army does!"
Then he ordered the Zhenghuang Banner soldiers and horses to start leaving the battlefield and not to fight anymore, otherwise they would be attacked by the Ming army. If they were attacked from both sides, the hope of victory in this battle would be extremely slim.
Tong Zhongkui, who was determined to fight to the death, was really confused as he watched Jiannu retreat. Jiannu had taken all the advantages and saw that his entire army was about to be annihilated. Why did he suddenly leave?
He would not let go of such an excellent opportunity and began to retreat with the remaining 5,000 troops and horses.
When retreating, he was still worried about whether Jiannu had an ambush, but found that Jiannu had really retreated. He thought hard and finally found the answer.
Taitai must have arrived with his troops, otherwise Jiannu would not have suddenly retreated. He hurriedly ordered the troops to turn back, and ordered him to contact Xiong Tingbi without stopping for several nights.
After Tong Zhongkui and Xiong Tingbi got in touch, the two did not join forces and still pursued Jiannu from two directions.
When Xiong Tingbi saw the Zhenghuang Banner, he shouted:
"The old slave is right in front. Anyone who captures and kills the old slave will be made a marquis and a general!"
The Ming army had just defeated Jiannu, and now they saw Jiannu fleeing again. Their morale had reached its peak. They were all shouting to capture and kill Jiannu. This momentum completely suppressed Jiannu.
When Nuerhachi heard that the Ming army was going to capture him, he immediately reined in the reins and shouted:
"Fight to the death with the Ming army!"
"Father, don't worry, I will take the head of the general!"
Degelei also wanted to make meritorious deeds. He wanted to become the fifth Baylor, and now was the best opportunity. Under Degelei's command, Jiannu immediately turned his horse around to get into position, and then counterattacked towards the Ming army.
Derge was very brave and killed two Ming army knights in the formation. Then he gathered more than twenty armored soldiers and prepared to break through the Ming army's defense line. His sword pointed directly at Xiong Tingbi.
Xiong Tingbi has been managing Liaodong for the past two years. Although he does not know everything about Jianzhou, he still recognizes some people.
When Xiong Tingbi saw this person, he said to the general beside him:
"This is Degerei, the son of an old slave. Which general is willing to capture him alive!"
Hearing that he was the son of an old slave, a young general rushed out of the Ming army's formation and charged directly at Derge from the side.
This young general killed three Jiannu with just one charge. Seeing that there were such brave men in the Ming army, Derge also knew that he had no way out, so he charged forward with his sword.
But he was no match for this young general, and was killed in one round. The other Jiannu who witnessed all this did not dare to step forward to challenge him.
Xiong Tingbi was overjoyed to see this and praised:
"Wen Zhao is too brave!"
Cao Wenzhao chopped off Dege Lei's head, raised it high and shouted:
"Here is the head of the slave chief!"
The surrounding Jiannu looked back and saw that it was indeed a Dege-type head. They quickly started to get into chaos. Xiong Tingbi took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce attack. Jiannu was quickly defeated.
Tong Zhongkui also arrived with his army at this time, and the situation became completely one-sided. Nuerhachi hammered his chest hard and had to retreat with his army again.
Seeing that Jian Nu had retreated, Xiong Tingbi did not send an order to pursue him, because he no longer had the conditions to beat up the drowned dog. Although he won both battles, his losses would probably not be as small as Jian Nu's.
He made a simple count and found that the 30,000 cavalrymen were now less than 20,000, and many of the remaining cavalrymen were injured. If he continued to fight forcefully, he would probably be defeated.
"Clear the battlefield quickly and return to Shenyang to aid!"
When Sangxi and Nuerhachi met, Nuerhachi whipped him several times and almost chopped him with a knife.
But he also knew that he was not the cause of the defeat in this battle, so he took a few breaths and did not punish him.
"Reporting to the Great Khan, the Ming army has joined forces but has not pursued us!"
Nuerhachi sighed:
"Instruct Huang Taiji and Daishan to withdraw their troops and return to Hetuala!"
Sangxi looked at Nuerha Chidao in shock:
"Sweat!"
"Stop talking, it is already impossible to capture Shenyang. Even if Huang Taiji can break the city, he will be driven back. This battle was defeated by me!"
After Nuerhachi finished speaking, he showed a fierce expression. His hand holding the riding crop trembled slightly, and even the corners of his eyes became a little wet.
Not only because of this defeat, but also because his son was actually beheaded by the Ming army. The whereabouts of the other two sons are also unknown, and they are probably already prisoners.
Sangxi couldn't believe it. He didn't expect that the Eight Banners Army, which was invincible and invincible, would be defeated today.
The Khan who led them to create countless glories, unified the Jurchens, annihilated hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, and established the Great Jin Dynasty, took the initiative to admit his defeat.
