In the face of the aggressive posture of the white-clothed army, the Dajin army is actually very contradictory. [No pop-up novel network]

To spit out the fat that reaches the mouth, it is not possible for ordinary people to do it. It takes a lot of courage. Even if Nurhachi intellectually felt that under such circumstances, the Dajin army should take the initiative to abandon Liaoyang and Shenyang and other places, and take the initiative to retreat to Hetuala.

Even, even Hetuara had to give up on his own initiative, and all of them turned into the white mountains and black waters to engage in guerrilla warfare with the white-clothed army. With the combat effectiveness of the white-clothed army, as long as the Dajin army tries to hold on to a certain place, this place will inevitably suffer the blow of the Destruction Surname.

Since the Battle of Yangguanbao, the battle between the White Army and the Dajin Army has never stopped. The two sides launched a continuous battle on the land of Liaodong, and people died every day. It's just that the scale of the battle will not be very large, and it will not attract the attention of outsiders. However, over time, the casualties of the Dajin army were actually very considerable.

After setting foot on the land of Liaodong, the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry have been repeatedly fighting with the scouts of the Dajin Army. According to Xu Xingxia's deployment, they tried every means to continuously consume the living force of the Dajin Army. In the past two years or so, at least three or four thousand Dajin troops have died at their hands.

In order to make up for the lack of troops, Nurhachi had to order all the Jurchen men who could fight to be concentrated. This means that the Jurchens, who are sixty years old and thirteen years old, have all been conscripted to the battlefield. And with their demise, the Jurchen males are about to be lost. Even if they have a miracle in the end, and they have a chance to win, it is estimated that the whole nation will not be able to reproduce.

It's not that Nurhachi doesn't understand the dangers of killing chickens and taking eggs. However, now he has no other way than to kill chickens to get eggs and drink water to quench his thirst. The Horqin Mongols are difficult to protect themselves. North Koreans don't have to count on it even more. The natives behind the Jurchens, who are really indigenous, have no interest in war at all.

Unless he Nurhachi is willing to surrender and obediently give his head to the white-clothed army, there is no other way. In fact, even if they fled back to Hetuala, between the white mountains and black waters, the Dajin army would not be safe. With the hatred of the Han people in Liaodong for the Dajin army, they will definitely instigate the white-clothed army to be wiped out.

If you want to blame, you can only blame it on when the army was against Ming, it was too hasty and didn't take into account the white-clothed army that came out halfway. If you want to blame, you can only blame him for his policy of wantonly exterminating the Han people in Liaodong, which caused public anger. If the emotions of the Han people in Liaodong were not so intense, perhaps, there would still be room for turning around between the Dajin Army and the White-clothed Army.

"Father Khan."

In the middle of the struggle, Nurhachi suddenly heard someone shouting, but it was Huang Taiji coming.

The war in Liaodong, from the very beginning, was in a one-sided state, which made the high-level of the Dajin Army feel very painful. They need to deal with the raids and attacks of the whites at all times, and there is hardly any chance to rest in peace. This made Nurhachi's spirit quickly languild. Huang Taiji is young and strong, and he just takes on the important task of coordinating and unifying the entire Dajin Army. Basically, the regular command of the Dajin Army is in charge of Huang Taiji.

There were originally four Baylors in the Dajin Kingdom, Dabeile Daishan guarded Shenyang, the second Baylor Amin was not well injured, the third Baylor Mang Gurtai was on the Haizhou front, and the rest was the most calm and shrewd Sibeile Huang Taiji. Originally, Huang Taiji's strongest competitor was Amin. But Amin's injury has not been good, and this competitor does not exist.

Huang Taiji actively advocated the immediate evacuation of Liaodong. He wanted to retreat immediately. He is a person who understands and understands that Liaodong is no longer possible. Don't look at the fact that the white-clothed army has no big moves for the time being, in fact, it is just the calm before the storm. The calmer the white army's performance, the greater the danger he felt. Especially after the extermination of the Horqin tribe Mongols.

However, within the Dajin Kingdom, there are indeed many nobles who are attached to Shenyang and Liaoyang and are reluctant to retreat. At least four of the five ministers were not in favor of an immediate retreat. It's not that they don't want to withdraw to Hetuala, but that they don't feel safe after they withdraw to Hetuala. The White Coats will definitely follow.

In the eyes of the five ministers, the way out for the Dajin Kingdom no longer lies in war, but in submission and negotiation. Obviously, it is impossible for the Dajin Army to defeat the White Army. The only thing that can be considered is how to preserve their own vitality, how to preserve a small piece of their own territory, so that the Jurchen people can continue to survive and reproduce.

For this reason, the five ministers continued to send envoys from various sources to make requests for mediation to the White Army, Korea, Nanjing, and even the local side. Their sole purpose was to preserve the Jurchens. Under this premise, the Dajin State can be outlawed, and the Dajin Army can be disbanded. Even, Nurhachi's resignation and removal of military power can be considered.

However, the white army has never replied. No matter how anxious the Jurchens were, the white-clothed army continued to prepare for war in an orderly and orderly manner. More and more white-clothed army units appeared in Liaodong. More and more war-ready materials also appeared in Liaodong. Almost every day, the spies of the Jurchens will find that the enemy they face is even more powerful than yesterday. The gap between the White Army and the Dajin Army is getting bigger and bigger.

Chi Hu's excuse was that Xu Xingxia was far away in the Western Regions and could not communicate in time. As for whether he sent the Jurchens' request to Xu Xingxia, only God knows. The Jurchens had no other ability than to curse Chi Hu behind their backs for being unkind. What the? If you don't agree with each other, you will start fighting? Chi Hu is looking forward to it!

Since there is no clear answer from the white-clothed army, the North Koreans will not interfere. The Koreans were very active in sending troops to assist the White Army in the battle, and they wholeheartedly wanted to make a good impression in front of the White Army. This kind of positive performance, in the eyes of outsiders, obviously has a flattering surname, which is simply a bit disgusting. However, no one dared to say anything. If you want to flatter the white-clad army, you have to see if you have a chance!

The Nanjing court was also very sensible and pretended not to know anything. They had only one way to do the Jurchen messengers, and that was to arrest them and kill them. In the past, when I was in Liaodong, I couldn't kill the Jurchens, but this time you sent them to the door, they naturally won't be polite. What the? The two armies are fighting, don't you cut them? Cut, we're not white-clad soldiers, so what if we kill you? Besides, Nanjing has never admitted that there are Jurchens.

As for themselves, it is estimated that they are currently having a headache. Their second attack on North Korea, with the intervention of the White Coats, was apparently stalled. The White Coats Army has already entered the DPRK directly, strengthening the local garrison of the DPRK. If he forcibly attacks North Korea, he will inevitably suffer a joint attack by the White Clothes Army and the North Korean side. said that his heart had no bottom, and the assembled troops had not moved.

Moreover, he also found that the navy established by the White Clothes Army on the Shandong Peninsula gradually began to threaten his own safety. In a short period of time, the White Army invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build dozens of large warships. The white-clothed army divided it into three fleets, and practiced in the sea near the Shandong Peninsula at night, and the sound of guns and cannons shook the sky.

Perhaps, these warships, for the Western powers, do not have a threatening surname for the time being. However, for the person who is close at hand, it is very fatal. Judging from the intelligence from all sides, the white-clothed army obviously had the intention of using a knife against him. Xu Xingxia, the commander of the white-clothed army, often revealed his hatred for himself.

"How's it going to the east?"

Nurhachi asked Huang Taiji to sit down and asked obscurely.

The situation in the east is actually the situation of the right guard of Dingliao. Dingliao Youwei, also known as Phoenix City, is located in the southeast of Liaoyang, less than 500 miles away from Liaoyang. Phoenix City is the main place to cut off the retreat of the Dajin Army from behind. Once the White Army attacks from here, it will cut off the connection between Liaoyang and Hetuala. If the retreat of the Daikin army is cut off, the situation is serious. The Dajin Army was completely annihilated, and it was said that it was just around the corner.

Therefore, the battle on the right guard side of Dingliao was of great concern to Nurhachi. In addition to appointing Huang Taiji to be in charge of the war in this direction, he often asked about it. The (inlay) (yellow) (flag) part under his command was also transferred to the vicinity of Phoenix City, hoping to stop the white-clothed army from going north and delay the remaining time of the Dajin army in Liaoyang as much as possible.

"It's been a year...... Nurhachi said obscurely.

I have to say that people have lazy surnames. In the past year or so, the white-clothed army has not launched an attack on Liaoyang, which makes the Dajin army have a strange feeling that the white-clothed army is not capable for the time being, or that it does not have the energy to pay attention to this. Although they were always worried that the butcher's knife would come, in fact, the butcher's knife never came. Even in the most dangerous moments, they are still alive and well.

As a result, even Nurhachi felt that as long as the Dajin Army worked a little harder, the situation could still be supported. Xu Xingxia's attention, temporarily not in Liaodong, is the best opportunity for the Dajin Army. As long as the Dajin Army seizes the time, rests and recuperates, and replenishes and rectifies, there is still a chance to survive. Perhaps, in the near future, there will be some big changes. This kind of thing, his witch doctor had hinted to him countless times.

What's the big change? In fact, it is very simple, as long as Xu Xingxia has an accident, is killed, or is critically ill, a miracle will appear. The white army has risen too fast, and the internal organization is actually very imperfect. Many drawbacks were not exposed because Xu Xingxia pressed them single-handedly. If he dies, there will be big problems within the White Army. If you don't get it right, it is possible to split and infighting.

Wasn't the invincible Mongolian iron cavalry in the world at the beginning because of the sudden death of Genghis Khan and the infighting of the heirs that stopped the pace of attacking to the west? It is not surprising that the same history is repeated in the body of the White Army.

"Great Khan, Haizhou Wei Emergency!"

At this time, the spies arrived in a hurry and sent an urgent message.

Huang Taiji frowned and took the urgent report, glanced at it quickly, and then handed it to Nurhachi.

As a result, after reading it, Nurhachi's face suddenly became very gloomy. He threw the emergency report on the ground fiercely, his face red and his neck thick and gasping for breath. He actually wanted to make some exaggerated movements, but in the end, it didn't work out.

The content of this urgent information is actually very simple, that is, Haizhouwei has fallen.

Haizhou Wei is the gateway to Liaoyang, if Haizhou Wei falls, Liaoyang will be completely finished.

Garrisoned in Haizhou was none other than Sanbeile Mang Gurtai. Nurhachi sent Mang Gurtai to Haizhouwei in the hope that a miracle would occur in him. But, alas, the miracle did not happen. On the contrary, this reckless Gurtai was unfortunately killed in battle. Under the artillery fire of the white-clothed army, the Dajin army stationed in Haizhou Wei was completely annihilated.

Huang Taiji's face was equally dark and ugly. Even, vaguely, there is a little bit of annoyance. This anger was not directed at the white-clothed army, but at Nurhachi. He felt that Nurhachi was too indecisive and too dragged. If the decision had been made earlier, this would certainly not have happened. Mang Gurtai will not die in vain.

In fact, the result of the fall of Haizhou City was speculated by Huang Taiji early on. In the past two years, he has been collecting all kinds of intelligence of the White Army in an all-round and meticulous manner, and it can be said that he has a considerable understanding of the White Army. The firearms and equipment of the White Army are so powerful that it is impossible for the Dajin Army to confront the White Army head-on.

However, due to strategic needs, the Dajin Army could not help but garrison Haizhou City. Because, if you don't garrison Haizhou City, the bayonets of the white-clothed army will reach Liaoyang's chin. As a result, the white-clothed army was given a chance to attack the fortifications in vain. The white-clothed army had artillery, muskets, and a strong ability to attack fortified positions. Therefore, they are not afraid to attack the fortifications at all.

On the contrary, on the side of the Dajin Army, it is not very wise to defend frontally. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Dajin Army lies in the high degree of mobility, in the surprise and unpreparedness of the attack. When dealing with the Ming army in Liaodong, the Dajin army gave full play to the mobile surname of the cavalry and won a complete victory. Now, taking the initiative to give up a high degree of mobility and fight positional warfare with the white-clothed army, this is completely touching the stone with an egg, and it would be strange if it didn't fall apart.

At the beginning, the Dajin Army had already learned the lesson of blood in Yangguanbao and decided to divide its troops to conduct guerrilla warfare with the white-clothed army to avoid any group-style siege battle. However, later, I slowly forgot this bloody lesson. And so, more bloody lessons came. This time, it was Mang Gurtai who died in battle, and next time, who will die in battle?

In fact, as a generation of generals, Mang Gurtai is still very qualified. The Dajin Army does not have generals with professional backgrounds, and everyone is trained from actual combat. War, by itself, is the best university. Survival of the fittest, those who survive are elites. If you can survive the brutal battle, it means that you have passed the grades and can graduate.

Mang Gurtai is not inattentive to the defense of Haizhou City. According to the shortcomings of the Dajin Army itself, he adopted the tactics of digging deep holes, accumulating grain, and building high walls, and resolutely avoided contact with the white-clothed army. In response to the artillery fire of the white-clothed army, Mang Gurtai also took certain measures. In general, the Dajin Army in Haizhou City is still working very hard.

However, Mang Gurtai's efforts have had little effect. Because, in Chi Hu's hands, there are too many trump cards. There is no doubt that Haizhou City must be taken. Therefore, Chi Hu did not hesitate to use the trump card of mortar.

The white-clothed army concentrated more than 300 mortars and continued to bombard Haizhou City. As a result, within half an hour, Haizhou City was already a mess inside and out. The fortifications that Mang Gurtai had worked so hard to build were all blown to pieces. Under the cover of artillery fire, the demolition team of the White Army bravely stepped forward and blew the city gate open.

The city gate was opened, and the Dajin army in Haizhou City was suddenly completely chaotic. The Dajin army stationed in Haizhou City had only four or five thousand people. There were also 8,000 servants. The number of white-clothed troops besieging the city was more than three times that of the Dajin army. The city gate was opened, and the Dajin army in the city became a turtle in an urn, and there was almost no chance to escape.

Mang Gurtai himself, brandishing a golden saber, tried to shout at his subordinates to fight back, trying to expel the white-clothed troops who entered the city. As a result, a shell landed beside him and exploded with a bang, tearing him apart on the spot. Due to the power of the cannonballs, after the battle, the white-clothed army tried to find Mang Gurtai's body, but could not find it. All they could find was a broken, blackened golden scimitar with Mang Gurtai's name on it.

Without Mang Gurtai's command, the remaining Dajin Army is naturally even more headless and chaotic. In the end, the chaotic Dajin Army, as well as the servant army, abandoned Haizhou City and rushed out of the north gate, which had not moved for the time being. As a result, in the wilderness north of Haizhou City, they were ambushed by the white-clothed army and were completely annihilated.

"Mang Gurtai, my son......" Nurhachi wept silently.

"Great Khan, retreat immediately!" Huang Taiji endured his grief and proposed countermeasures.

As a result, Nurhachi still did not make a decision. Since the defeat in the battle at Yangguan Fort, Nurhachi's ambition and wisdom have collectively disappeared.

"We can't do anything, let's withdraw first!" Huang Taiji decisively ordered.

Regardless of whether Nurhachi is willing to retreat or not, anyway, he Emperor Taiji will definitely retreat first.

Without the cover of Haizhou City, the overwhelming white-clothed army will immediately concentrate around Liaoyang. No matter how strong the walls of Liaoyang City are, in the face of fierce artillery fire, they are just a copy of Haizhou City.
