Just when the Ministry of Rites and the Lifan Yuan were busy preparing for the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting in Chongzhen's third year, the battle reports in Liaodong and Northwest were also coming one after another.

In mid-November, Anton Hou Mao Wenlong personally sat in Andong City and commanded the Ming army on the front line of Andong City east of the Yalu River to cross the river and storm Zhenjiang Fort.

And Liu Xingzuo, the Bo of Pyongyang, accompanied by Zhang Guoyuan, the eunuch sent by Emperor Chongzhen, personally led the main army of the General Military Office on the right side of Dongjiang Town to attack Jingcheng occupied by the Buyan Dynasty.

In stark contrast to Mao Wenlong's strong attack on Zhenjiang Fort, the main force of the Dongjiang Right Army led by Pyongyang Bo Liu Xingzuo had not yet arrived at the southern suburbs of Jingcheng.

After Liu Xingzuo led the main force to Jingcheng (later Qingjin, North Korea) and extinguished the fire in the city, the stored grain, grass and houses in the city were almost burned down, and Liu Xingzuo's army could only brave the cold to continue to be stationed in the wilderness.

At the end of November, Liu Xingzuo led his army to the north again, and Buyan Dai repeated his old tricks, set a fire again, and burned the city of Odori that the Houjin State had operated on the east bank of the Douman River for many years, and then led more than 3,000 people under his command to step on the frozen upper reaches of the Douman River and retreat into the vast forest under the Changbai Mountain.

Buyandai was not a pure Jurchen, but a Beizi of the Ulut tribe of the Eastern Mongolian tribe who led the crowd to join the Jurchens during the Nuer Hachi period.

After Buyandai led his troops to surrender to Nuer Hachi, he followed Nuer Hachi to the east and west, and finally settled on the territory of the Haixi Jurchens who were destroyed by Nuer Hachi, just like the Uliangha people who returned to Shun.

To say that this Buyandai has fought a lot of battles with the Jurchens before, and he is also a fierce general who can fight and dare to charge, so he should not run away without a fight.

Moreover, he also fought with the Ming army in Dongjiang Town, and knew that although the Ming army in Dongjiang Town was better at fighting than the ordinary Ming army, it was not the opponent of the Jurchen armored soldiers.

It's just that at this time, the situation in the rear of the Jurchens has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the danger has reached the extreme.

Ever since a large number of Ming troops from Dongjiang Town suddenly landed on the shore of the Douman River with Koreans and appeared in his rear, Buyandai already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

When his immediate boss Bel Bu Zhantai led the army back to rescue the city of Varkashan, and then the Ming army that was attacked into the rear came to a siege point to send reinforcements, and after the news of the defeat and death of Bu Zhantai came back, Buyandai began to worry about his rear territory.

Buyandai repeatedly sent people to Zhenjiang Fort, Kuandian Fort and other places for help, but the answer he received was to let him continue to hold on and wait for help.

Because the army on the front, left and middle roads of Dongjiang Town stormed Zhenjiang Fort, Zhenjiang Fort itself was difficult to protect, and it was impossible to send reinforcements at all.

The Zhenglan Banner army in the area of Kuandianbao was not only transferred to Zhenjiang Fort to participate in the guard, but Buyandai also heard an even more terrible news, that is, a cavalry of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town had bypassed Kuandianbao and went north to Hetuala.

The news was sent back to Mirror City, and Byandai knew that he could not have any more reinforcements.

So, when he saw the vanguard of the Ming army on the right side of Dongjiang Town, there were about 3,000 people, Buyandai immediately made a decision, burned the city and retreated.

For a Mongol like him, who was a naturalized Jurchen rather than a true Jurchen, preserving his own people and strength was always the first priority.

Without the Urut tribe that originally belonged to him, he Buyandai didn't say that he now has a position of Melle Ezhen, just if he wants to be a Jurchen Niu Lu Ezhen, it is impossible.

Buyandai led the retreat of his army, which made Pyongyang's Boliu Xingzuo complete, allowing him to occupy several important cities north of Hamhung without a fight.

A few days after Liu Xingzuo led his army into the city of Odori, Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde, and Yuan Dou Dipper, who burned and looted all the way to the west, and engaged in a large-scale battle without a rear, were also pursued by two Jianyu cavalry led by Ye Keshu, one of the Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen, and Boerjin, one of the Zhenghongqi Meile Ezhen, and successively withdrew to Wencheng, Qingxing, and Doumancheng in the area of the mouth of the Douman River.

On the fourth day of December, after the burning of the old city of Hetuala, more than 1,000 surviving cavalry of Shang Kexi and Ban Zhifu, who led the army to the north in the wind and snow, rushed through all kinds of encirclement and interception, and withdrew from the Yalu River City (later Jilin Ji'an) where the former Yalu River lived in the upper reaches of the Yalu River to the Jiangzhou City on the east bank of the Yalu River (the border of the Korean River in later generations).

Shang Kexi's brother Mao Kejin, in the battle outside the city of Dong E, was caught up by the blue flag armor Lae Zhenhun Pagoda and the Zheng Red Flag Jia Lama Zhen Shuo Erhui who followed the pursuit, and was finally surrounded by the cavalry led by the Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Babutai who was chasing behind.

The thunderbolts and incendiary bombs carried by Mao Kejin's army have long been exhausted, and the Ming army of Dongjiang Town, which does not have these killer weapons, has fallen into the siege of several times its own, and where is the opponent of the Jurchen knights who pursued all the way with hatred, so it was quickly surrounded and annihilated.

Historically, Mao Kejin also died in a fierce battle with the Jianyu army.

It's just that most of his cronies at that time surrendered after the defeat and became the link that later helped the Manchus to contact Shang Kexi to surrender.

But this time, the Shang brothers and their subordinates broke Hetuala, slaughtered Hetuala, and burned Hetuala, which can be said to have offended the Jurchen high-level of the Jin State after the capture of Hetuala.

Therefore, after Mao Kejin fell from his horse with an arrow and was hacked to death by Hunta, some of his subordinates shouted to surrender, but Babutai categorically refused.

Babutai, the ninth son of Nuer Hachi, was ordered by Daishan to lead an army to rescue Hetuala, but he was one step too late.

Since he was born, Babutai, who had never seen such a tragic situation in the old city of Hetuala, hated the Ming cavalry led by Shang Kexi.

At this time, it was hard to catch up with one of them, how could they spare their lives?

Therefore, whether it was Babutai, Shuoerhui, or Hunta, they did not accept the surrender of the Ming army under the command of the Shang brothers at all, and were ordered to follow Mao Kejin to block the pursuit of the more than 1,000 Ming troops, most of them were killed in battle, a small part surrendered and were killed, and the whole army was wiped out near Dong Echeng.

However, Mao Kejin's entire army was wiped out, but in exchange for his brother Shang Kexi's escape.

Shang Kexi led the army back after burning the old city of Hetuala, which made Mao Wenlong, the Marquis of Anton, who was sitting in Andong City, overjoyed, and Liu Xingzuo, Chen Jisheng, and Kong Youde of Pyongyang, who were in the city of Odori, were also envious when they heard the news.

Whether it was Mao Wenlong leading the main force to storm Zhenjiang Fort, or Chen Jisheng or Liu Xingzuo and others sending troops to build a large rear, one of the most important strategic intentions was to create an opportunity for Shang Kexi's cavalry to attack Huanglong.

This was clearly deployed to Shang Kexi in the case of Anton Hou Mao Wenlong, but in the case of Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzuo, although it was not explicitly stated, the arrangements made were also to cooperate with such a surprise operation.

And Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzuo knew that Mao Wenlong had such an arrangement, but they didn't know who to let carry out this task of smashing Huanglong.

When they first heard the news that Li Xin, the superintendent of Denglai Town and the guard of Lushun Town, crossed the sea by boat to seize Fuzhou, they thought that the imperial court and Mao Shuai had asked them to attack the rear of the Jurchens in order to create an opportunity for Li Xin's subordinates.

Unexpectedly, it was Shang Kexi.

However, after hearing the report that there were only more than 1,000 well-equipped cavalry in Shang Kexi's department, there were only more than 1,000 people left after the attack, and they were all embarrassed.

If the same task falls on his head, how much can he guarantee to withdraw alive?
