Nuerhachi's military order was quickly transmitted to the front line. If it weren't for the fact that the person who conveyed the order was Nuerhachi's personal soldier, Mang Gurtai would have thought it was a trick of the Ming army.
But even so, he was still unwilling to accept it. He quickly called Daishan, and Daishan asked:
"Why did Father Khan order the retreat?"
"Back at Dabeile, our army's rear camp was attacked by a large group of Ming army cavalry. The two yellow flags were defeated by the Ming army and they have retreated!"
Daishan glanced at Mang Gurtai and said quickly:
"Hurry up and prepare for the withdrawal. All siege equipment must be taken away. War horses, wounded, and supplies must not be left behind. You must not leave anything behind for the Ming army!"
Even though Mang Gurtai was unwilling to do anything about it, he could only do as he was told at this time.
After Mang Gurtai walked away, Daishan asked again:
"The camp was guarded by two yellow flags, how could it be defeated so easily?"
"According to the Great Khan, 80% of the people leading the army are Xiong Barbarians, and the Ming army is also an elite one!"
Daishan stopped asking after hearing this. Xiong Manzi was indeed difficult to deal with.
However, Huang Taiji, who was far north of the city, did not know that Nuerhachi had already issued an order to withdraw his troops. He was still urging the men of Zhengbai Banner to attack Shenyang.
They had just reached the top of the city and were about to break it, but reinforcements from the Ming army arrived, causing them to be unable to follow up and eventually being repulsed.
When he saw the Ming army's reinforcements arriving, he wanted to withdraw, but he found that there were not many people in this Ming army. Knowing that he still had a chance, he decisively ordered another fierce attack.
"Master Beile, we can't attack anymore. We only have 6,000 people left under the white flag. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we will be dead before the city is broken!"
Huang Taiji didn't want to attack anymore, but he had already sworn in front of his father Khan that he would rather sacrifice more flag soldiers for the sake of his father Khan's trust and attention!
Huang Taiji drew his sword and shouted:
"If you dare to retreat again, Ben Beile will kill him with his own hands!"
The slaves looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything more.
Zhengbai Banner's attack was once again repelled by the Ming army. Baiyin, the siege pioneer, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly:
"Master Beile, I really have no choice but to attack Shenyang City!"
Huang Taiji did not blame him, because he had long known in his heart that the first wave of attack was the best and only time to break the city. If the first wave did not succeed, it would never succeed.
He has read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms countless times, especially Zhuge Liang's Liu Chu Qishan. How similar is it to now?
But despite this, he still couldn't retreat because he wanted to compete for the position of successor, and if he wanted to become the next Great Khan of Dajin, he couldn't let the Great Khan down.
It seems that Huang Taiji is going to fish in troubled waters today. He Zhengbaiqi doesn't have many flags left. If the loss is too big and his own strength is seriously damaged, it will be detrimental to him.
Huang Taiji immediately led his army back five miles to rest and recuperate, and more and more Ming troops were on the city. Seeing that the main force of Jiannu in front was no longer attacking, You Shigong also moved all the artillery back.
Huang Taiji looked at the Ming army on the top of the city who was very busy, and he sighed:
"Shenyang, there is no hope of destroying the city!"
The strength of the Ming Dynasty is still too strong. After all, it is not comparable to their big gold. Even though they have experienced successive defeats, they are just scratching the surface for the huge Ming Dynasty.
As for Dajin, after this battle, I am afraid that they will not be able to recover within ten years, unless they can capture Liaoshen, which can bring them back to life.
While Huang Taiji was deep in thought, Nuerhachi's messenger finally arrived, but he didn't know that Huang Taiji had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Report Si Baile, the Great Khan's military order, withdraw the troops immediately!"
Huang Taiji was waiting for this sentence, otherwise he wouldn't have rested here for so long. He didn't even ask a question and immediately ran away with the Zhengbai Banners.
On the front, Daishan, Mang Gurtai, and Amin, the three Baylors, also took more than 30,000 Jian slaves away. In the battle of Shenyang, they lost miserably.
As soon as they left, Xiong Tingbi arrived at the foot of Shenyang City. Seeing that Xiong Tingbi was personally leading the reinforcements, You Shigong immediately ordered the city gates to be opened to welcome Xiong Tingbi into the city.
"Taitai, you are finally here, the brothers can hardly hold on anymore!"
"Everyone, Jiannu has retreated, Shenyang is worry-free!"
After Xiong Tingbi entered the city, he quickly began to arrange for various ministries to clean up the battlefield and repair the damaged city defenses. All the corpses of his own people were gathered together and buried together. The corpse of Jiannu was beheaded and thrown into the wilderness.
It was not until evening that the battle losses were finally calculated. The Shenyang Ming Army suffered nearly 6,000 casualties, and the commander-in-chief He Shixian was killed in battle.
The Ming army reinforcements in Liaoyang suffered more than 14,000 casualties and more than 4,000 war horses. After hearing the report, Xiong Tingbi's heart ached. These were elites who dared to fight.
Seeing Xiong Tingbi's expression, all the generals knew that they were secretly feeling distressed again.
Cao Wenzhao immediately stepped forward and said:
"Taitai, this battle is our biggest victory in the Ming Dynasty for decades. Taitai will soon become famous all over the world!"
Jiang Bi, who was in charge of statistics, immediately answered and said:
"Taitai, the losses of Jiannu in this battle were much greater than ours. The heads of Jiannu alone were more than 20,000. How many Jiannu were there in total?"
"Okay, there is no need to deceive me here. More than half of these heads are from Han soldiers and soldiers. You should pay attention to the distinction. If anyone dares to commit fraud, don't blame me for being ruthless. I am the most What I hate are those who lie about their military exploits!"
"Wen Zhao, you did a great job today by killing the old slave's son Degerei. I will help you ask for the credit from your majesty!"
Cao Wenzhao immediately thanked him:
"Thank you Taitai!"
"This great victory in Shenyang was largely due to the bravery of the generals in killing the enemy. I will write down the contributions of all the generals one by one and report to Your Majesty. However, His Majesty is not in the capital yet. Everyone needs to wait patiently for a while. The current matter is, There are many funeral matters to be dealt with!"
All the generals responded in unison:
"only!"
Some people are happy and some are worried. There is a revelry and victory in Shenyang City, but the Jiannu side is lifeless.
Nuerhachi had prepared for several years, and all the men over the age of 15 had participated in the battle. They gathered the Eight Banners Army and various puppet troops and subdued nearly 80,000 people in Aha. As a result, It ended hastily like this.
Nuerhachi's intention to invade Liaoshen and seek Liaodong was completely crushed by Xiong Tingbi. There were more than 80,000 people, and only less than 50,000 were left. This was the worst defeat since the founding of the state in the 27th year of Wanli. Nuerhachi's years of hard work were finally ruined.
This battle started from Fengji Fort and lasted for more than ten days. The battle in Shenyang ended with a complete victory for the Ming army and a disastrous defeat for Jiannu. This was the first time that the Ming army had achieved such success since the war between the Ming Dynasty and Jianzhou. A glorious victory.
Outside Shenyang City, the arrogant slave Hachi looked at the motionless Shenyang City. He looked at it for a long time, then closed his eyes and looked up to the sky and said in a deep voice:
"Xiong Tingbi's presence prevents me from conquering Liaochen!"
