In Nurhachi's view, no one in the entire Yuan-Meng Empire except Temujin was qualified to be his opponent.
For example, when Temujin died this year, all the main forces of Yuan Meng also died in Hetao, and only Tuo Lei and Murong Ke were left to support the whole Yuan Meng.
Therefore, Nurhaci was full of confidence in sending troops to Yuanmeng this time and was determined to win. Not only did he directly dispatch an army of 300,000 troops, but he had not led an army for a long time and even Nurhaci personally dispatched, as if vowing to annex the entire Yuanmeng Empire.
.
However, the trend of the war between the Yuan and Qing Dynasties exceeded Nurhachi's expectations.
Today, there are only a few hundred thousand main troops left in Yuanmeng, and the remaining troops are all improvised recruits. Logically speaking, they do not have much combat effectiveness at all.
But Murong Ke led such a team, with nearly half of the entire army being new soldiers, and blocked 300,000 Manchu and Qing cavalry from advancing even an inch on the eastern battlefield.
Of course, Yuan Meng was able to do this at the cost of extremely heavy casualties, but Nurhaci was shocked, surprised, and angry about this.
In the entire Yuan-Meng Empire, except for Temujin, Nurhachi never paid attention to anyone, and the same was true for Murong Ke.
In Nurhaci's eyes, Murong Ke was just a poor man who had some military talent but was still unable to prevent the demise of his mother country and was forced to be loyal to Yuan Meng.
But just such a pitiful man blocked the Qing Dynasty's 300,000-strong army, so Nurhachi naturally couldn't keep it easy.
After killing Yang Ye and completing the mission of 'Until Death', Murong Ke's basic command has reached 100 points. Although Nurhaci, who has 99 command, has a little less basic command than Murong Ke, after the skill blessing, the command of the two generals is better.
The abilities are actually pretty much the same.
No one is much stronger than anyone else, and no one is much weaker than anyone else.
When the abilities of the generals on both sides are not even close, the key to determining the trend of the battle falls on the army, generals, equipment, morale and other aspects.
In the Battle of Hetao, Yuanmeng lost everything, and the losses were unprecedentedly heavy. Therefore, whether it was the army, generals, or others, it can be said that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were much better than Yuanmeng.
Under such a situation of overall dominance, it stands to reason that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties should be able to defeat Yuan and Meng quickly and march to Dragon City, but in fact they did not.
Under the fierce attack of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, although Yuan and Meng suffered heavy casualties, they were not at a disadvantage. The two sides were in a stalemate.
The reason why it turned out like this was mainly because Nurhachi underestimated his enemy, Murong Ke, who he underestimated, and also overestimated himself.
In Nurhachi's eyes, there was no one in Yuanmeng who could beat him. Only Temujin was qualified to be his opponent. But in fact, if he faced Temujin, there was no possibility of defeating this peerless genius.
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is!
With such arrogance, how could Nurhaci take Murong Ke, a Xianbei who surrendered to Yuan Meng, seriously?
In the early days of the war, Nurhachi underestimated Murong Ke and gave Murong Ke a chance to gain a foothold.
Nurhachi's intelligence attribute is 92, while Murong Ke's intelligence attribute is 95. Logically speaking, the strategic gap between the two sides is not big, and there is no risk of being easily calculated by the other side.
However, due to Murong Ke's intentional weakness and Nurhachi's careless underestimation of the enemy, Murong Ke's calculations made Nurhaci suffer a big loss. In one battle, he killed the Manchu vanguard, a total of 20,000 troops.
No one wants their mother country to perish and become a slave to the country, and this great victory gave everyone in Yuan Meng hope to win, and it can be said that the morale of the entire army has greatly increased.
After that, although Yuanmeng was still at a disadvantage, he had already established a firm foothold, and the morale of the entire army had stabilized, and they would never be defeated by the Manchus in one battle.
Because of his arrogance, Nurhachi missed the best opportunity to annex Yuanmeng. Although he did not despise Murong Ke, he did not achieve good results in the battle. The war between Yuan and Qing Dynasty gradually entered a stalemate.
.
The stalemate stage was still full of advantages for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. After all, what this tested was the comprehensive national strength between the two countries.
Yuanmeng had just experienced the defeat of Hetao, and had paid so much war indemnity to the Qin army. The country's national power had been squeezed to the limit.
If the stalemate with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties continues like this, Yuanmeng will be dragged down by the war sooner or later.
Although Murong Ke knew this, his opponent was obviously not simple. Murong Ke had no way to directly defeat Nurhaci, so he could only take one step at a time, gritting his teeth and fighting a war of attrition with Nurhaci to find opportunities.
.
This style of fighting, in which the enemy was injured by one thousand and himself was harmed by eight hundred, was not easy for the Manchus and the Yuanmeng.
The person who was obviously more uncomfortable was Murong Ke, but he could still persevere, while Nurhaci, who was relatively relaxed, couldn't persevere.
As long as this consumption continues, the Qing Dynasty can be said to be a sure-win situation, but this is not the victory Nurhachi wants.
It would be fine if he faced Temujin, but it was only Murong Ke who had the entire Qing Dynasty fight for national power to defeat Yuanmeng. Even if he won in the end, Nurhaci would be disgraced.
Nurhaci wanted to resolve the war faster, but he had no way to defeat Murong Ke. At this moment, the marriage between Qin and Yuan was approaching, and Nurhachi also thought of intercepting the marriage team to drag Qin Hao into the water.
.
Murong Ke's defense arrangement was extremely tight. After some complicated operations by Nurhaci, he could only let Wanyan Aguda command three thousand fine cavalry to break through. However, this was more than enough. After all, the guard lineup of the marriage team was only three hundred Qin.
army and more than a thousand Yuan Mongolian cavalry.
At this time, Meng Tian and others who were on their way back north did not know that there were three thousand Manchu cavalry preparing to intercept and kill them on their way back north.
"Father, I heard that Yushu and Minmintemuir of Yuanmeng are known as the shining pearls on the grassland and are the most beautiful women of Yuanmeng." Wanyan Zongbi said with a smile.
Wanyan Aguda glanced at his son, smiled and scolded: "What, Wushu, do you have any thoughts about Princess Yushu?"
Wanyan Zongbi, nicknamed Wushu, and after Wanyan Aguda founded the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Zongbi, as the founding hero, made great contributions, so he was also called: Jinwushu.
Wanyan Zongbi, also known as Jin Wushu, was Yue Fei's old enemy.
When facing Yue Fei, Wanyan Zongbi lost consecutive battles, but the Jin Kingdom had to rely on him. It was he who used Qin Hui, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, to get rid of Yue Fei, the pillar of the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally forced the Song Dynasty to sign the imperial agreement.
