(0731) After a night of really, the Mongol cavalry rolled south. [Full text reading]

Completely blocked from the news, they had no idea what kind of opponent they were about to face. Many of them are indeed dreaming. After cleaning up the white-clothed army, they can all return to Liaoyang and eat barbecue comfortably. The most obvious performance is the four sons of Ming'an Belle. They simply regarded this southward military support operation as a winter tour, and there was no pressure at all.

It is said that you can see the sea near Yangguan Fort. Having never seen the sea before, they decided to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to the sea. Igduzi even instructed his entourage to find himself a few masters who knew how to swim. In the past, the ancestors of the Mongols, who rode all over the world, did not know how many seas they conquered. However, for the Mongol Horqin tribe, the first sea they could conquer was the Bohai Sea.

Only a few people think that there is something strange about this. One of them is Kongol. In other words, as the number two person of the Horqin tribe, the relationship between Kong Guoer and Dajin Guo is indeed very good. His three sons, as well as his five daughters, were all married to the Dajin Kingdom. Dai Shan is one of his in-laws. However, Kong Guoer is not a brainless person, and he can hear a hint of it from Dai Shan's words.

To be honest, Kongol didn't know the specific situation of the Yangguan Fort. Dai Shan never mentioned it positively. However, Kong Guoer knew that Yangguan Fort did not seem to be a very large place, and there should be no way to station 35,000 white-clothed troops. Later, he casually inquired about the other Dajin people around him, and accidentally learned that Yangguan Fort was just a small fortress. If there are 35,000 people stationed there, I'm afraid that the latecomers won't even have a place to put their butts.

Thirty-five thousand people, definitely not casually, all unfolded, that is quite a large group of people. It's not a cold, lifeless number, it's a living person. Each of them has to occupy space and consume resources. The three Mongolian teams he brought this time, if all of them are unfolded, the scene is also quite spectacular.

Besides, so many white-clothed troops, with Jinzhou Wei, Fuzhou Wei and other acropolises not stationed, but stationed in a small place that is not even a thousand households, isn't this a brain into the water, is there something wrong? No matter what Kong Guoer thought, he felt that the battle in Yangguanbao was not as simple as Dai Shan described. Of course, he didn't see any danger. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Dajin Army is obvious to all. The Mongol cavalry he brought with him was not weak either.

…… After sending the Mongols away, Dai Shan's face gradually became gloomy. He summoned the spies back and inquired about the situation in detail. Yesterday, the battle report sent by the spies was not like that at all. It was not the Dajin Army that blocked the attack of the White Army at all, and it was not worth raising a glass to celebrate at all. In fact, it was information from Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai asking for reinforcements.

The white-clothed army resolutely implemented the operational policy of destroying the living forces of the Dajin Army, and tried every means to kill and injure the cavalry of the Dajin Army. They can kill one as one, and kill two as a pair. The white flag and the blue flag, in the process of confronting the white army, lost quite a lot of personnel, and both of them were a little unable to hold on. The confrontation between them and the white-clothed army had to be consumed about 200 people every day, and after a long time, the casualty figure was a bit considerable.

Although, in the fierce and bloody battle, the White Army itself also suffered a considerable number of casualties, and at the height of the battle, the losses of the White Army and the Dajin Army were almost equal. However, some of the white-clothed troops were reserve soldiers and some were reinforcements, so Chi Hu did not mind the white-clothed army's own casualty figures. Just one Beizhili, after the completion of the land reform, there are millions of young and middle-aged people who want to join the army, and the white-clothed army can afford to lose as much as they want.

On the contrary, the Dajin army could not afford such losses. Each of their cavalry is very precious. The death of a cavalry of the Dajin Army is equivalent to the weakening of the strength of the Dajin Kingdom. Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai, even if they have the ability, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Desperate, they had no choice but to ask for reinforcements. They hoped that Daishan could support them with a team of 10,000 people. As a result, Dai Shan refused without hesitation.

Acting for goodness is impossible not to refuse. He had to lie. In order not to let the Mongols see the flaws and thus have some unnecessary ideas, he slightly modified the number of white-clothed troops in Yangguanbao from less than 2,000 to 35,000 according to Nurhachi's intentions, and a large number of backup troops were being prepared. The purpose was to let the Mongols generously go up to die. Faced with such figures, it is estimated that the Mongols will not think much about it.

If he agreed to Huang Taiji's request to send reinforcements to Huang Taiji, the only ones he could use were the Mongols. In other words, at least out of 30,000 people, one 10,000 people should be assigned to the command of Huang Taiji. In this way, it will inevitably affect the battle in the direction of Yangguanbao. In case of any disputes in the middle, it may also expose the real battle situation of Yangguan Fort. If the Mongols had learned the real situation, they would have thought about it.

After all, the Mongols are not stupid either. They must first and foremost look out for the interests of their own tribe. The marriage between the Horqin tribe and the Dajin Kingdom is actually based on interests. Once the interests of both parties conflict, it is difficult for the two in-laws to maintain the relationship between the two parties. In particular, that Kongol is actually a very shrewd person. In fact, no one is stupid when it comes to their own business, and the same goes for Mingambel.

Of course, Huang Taiji's distress letter also made Dai Shan feel quite bad. In his impression, Huang Taiji is definitely a very capable, very patient, and very experienced person on the battlefield, and he will not easily ask others for help. If he asks for help, the actual situation must be more serious than what Huang Taiji described. In fact, if the Dajin Army could not control the area around Quang Ninh, Liaoyang would be very dangerous.

However, Dai Shan did not have any reinforcements on hand. In order to solve the Yangguan Fort, Nurhachi transferred all his troops. Now, in the entire Liaoyang City, there is only less than one Niu Lu's Dajin Army stationed. In Shenyang, north of Liaoyang, there was not even a single Niulu army, and only the Dajin army of less than 100 people was pretending. To be honest, if the Han people in the city rise up to rebel, it is really hard to say how long this Dajin army of Niu Lu can hold out. It is estimated that when the time comes, he will be dressed up for good.

There was no way, Dai Shan had no choice but to organize all the high-level officials of the Dajin Kingdom, as well as all the nobles in Jianzhou, and barely gathered 1,500 people to send to Huang Taiji as reinforcements. These people have never been on the battlefield, and Dai Shan doesn't know what their combat effectiveness is. Anyway, he handed over this thorny problem to Huang Taiji to deal with.

At the same time, he sent a letter to Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai, asking them to find a way to delay the advance of the white-clothed army as much as possible. They must hold out until Nurhachi has cleared up the Yangguan Fort and returned to Quang Ninh Province. If this is not done, the future of Dajin Kingdom will be very dangerous. The white-clothed army from the north and south of Liao, as well as the white-clothed army from the east of Liaoxi, once Liaoyang is attacked on two roads, it is estimated that the Dajin army will only have the choice of abandoning Liaoyang and retreating to Hetuala. He believed that Huang Taiji was a smart person and would definitely understand the current situation of the Dajin Kingdom.

At the same time, Dai Shan reminded Mang Gurtai to listen to Huang Taiji's advice, save yourself, destroy the enemy, and don't get hot-headed and do those stupid things easily. What he is most afraid of is that Mang Gurtai will come and consume the blue flag. Now, every soldier of the Dajin Army is very valuable and cannot be easily lost. At the beginning, Nurhachi asked Huang Taiji to stay and preside over the battle in the direction of Quang Ninh Province, which was also because of his talent for improvisation and strategizing. If it is replaced by the brave and unscrupulous Mang Gurtai, it will be difficult to say.

After sending the messenger away, Daishan was still busy. He has a lot to do. He wanted to organize all the Han troops as much as possible and send them to the front. According to Nurhachi's meaning, the captured Ming army will be organized into the Eight Banners of the Han Army. Daishan is responsible for the formation, that is, the four flags of inlaid white flags, inlaid red flags, positive white flags, and positive red flags. The other four banners were formed directly on the spot on the front line of Yangguanbao. The person in charge is none other than Amin, who was almost wiped out under his command.

Nurhachi also sent clear instructions that if the number of surrendered Ming troops was insufficient, then all the Han people in all parts of Liaodong should be arrested as much as possible, forcibly organized into Han army flags, and forcibly expelled to the battlefield. If you disobey the order, you can take all means to deal with it. Basically, the meaning of this sentence is unlimited killing.

The composition of the Han military banner is mostly Han Chinese, and a small part is Manchu. Basically, it takes the way of one Manchurian and thirty Han Chinese. Those who came to serve as the leaders of the Han army were the elites of the Dajin Army who were mobilized by Nurhachi from the front. The remnants of the blue flag, the white flag, and the red flag are also among them. In addition, there is a considerable part of it, which is his personal follower.

Dajin was very efficient, and it only took two days for Dai Shan to complete the marshalling of the four flags of the Han military flag. He personally awarded each Han military flag a special flag as a token of encouragement. According to the compilation of the Han military flag, each Han military flag has twenty-five ox records, which is a total of one hundred Niu records. There were three hundred people in each of the cows. Thus, the total strength of the army exceeded 30,000 people. The weapons they were equipped with were all left over from the original Liaodong Ming army.
