Chapter 918 Will Hunting Jurchen 18
"Huh~ It's finally over!" Seeing the group of black-armored cavalry slowly retreating, Nuerhachi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, he would also be chased around one day. At this time, Nuerhachi
Chi deeply felt how the Ming army felt when he had been chasing him like a rabbit.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
After feeling sorry for him for a while, Nuerhachi cheered up and began to nervously gather his troops and count the casualties. Judging from the opponent's posture, today's day was probably not going to be easy.
After more than half an hour, when the scattered Jurchen Eight Banners soldiers were recovered one after another by their respective generals, the statistics of the number of casualties shocked Nuerhachi again, and even his head became dizzy again.
There were more than 13,000 casualties, more than 5,000 injured, and more than 8,000 killed. This was the largest casualty since Nuerhachi raised his army. This level of casualties really made Nuerhachi
It hurts my heart, this is a huge casualty!
However, soon he could no longer be sad. A bigger problem was placed in front of him. They had no food and grass. All the logistics, looting proceeds, slave financial reports, etc., were all under fierce bombardment.
With all their losses, they faced the threat of running out of food.
Fortunately, the Jurchen Eight Banners are all cavalry, and they all have the habit of putting some food and fodder on their horses, so they are not so embarrassed that they don't even have to eat lunch. However, this can only temporarily relieve the urgent need. Tomorrow night
, they would have to go hungry.
And this is just a short-term worry, the Jurchen Eight Banners also have a bigger and more terrifying long-term concern, which is to go home. At this time, their way home has been blocked by the terrifying Yulin Army, and they cannot pass at all.
In front of it is Shanhaiguan, the most powerful pass in the world, and in the back is the Yulin Army with hundreds of artillery pieces. To the left is the sea, with the enemy's gunboats on the sea, and to the right are mountains. The roads are blocked by heavy snow, and there are dense forests and steep mountains everywhere. Even if you abandon your horse and trek in,
, I don’t know if I can go out.
Nowadays, the Jurchen Qingqi have penetrated deeply, but their return route is blocked. They are surrounded by the pass, the sea, the mountains, and powerful enemies.
"Let's talk about your opinions!" Nurhachi sat on the main seat with an ugly face, looking at the eight people below him. The only three remaining among the four Baylors and his five founding ministers, E Yidu,
Fei Yingdong, He Heli, An Feiyanggu and Hu Erhan. These nine people are all brave and resourceful, but at this moment no one spoke.
Facing the current situation, they didn't have a good solution. They really didn't expect that the Jurchen Eight Banners would end up in this situation, being surrounded like dumplings and unable to move.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Nuerhachi's face became even more ugly. However, this was not the time to lose his temper. He suppressed the anger in his heart and turned his attention to his fourth son, Huang Taiji.
"Sibeile, do you have any ideas?" As soon as Nuerhachi spoke, several other people also looked over. They still remembered that when everyone was marching in, he was the only one who proposed it.
Objections.
"Father, I have nothing to do at this moment." Huang Taiji spread his hands with helplessness and bitterness on his face, "The only way to survive now is to cross the pine ridge."
"We are now in Ningyuan. The terrain here is narrow and the mountains are towering. But if we go a little further, the mountains will be flatter. After climbing over the mountains from there, there is a river that is divided into the Daling River. There is the Kalaqin River.
Our department has suffered heavy losses from our territory, and we should make up for this loss from other places."
Huang Taiji's eyes flashed with cold light, and he pointed his fingers hard on the corner of the simple map. That was the Mongolian grassland that was only separated from here by mountains.
Mongolia!
Everyone was stunned by Huang Taiji's idea. They were still trying to escape, but others had already thought of how to make up for their losses. This was really not a person of the same level. Some of them even relied on Huang Taiji's strategy.
Think a little deeper.
The Jurchens have good relations with the Horqin tribe of Mongolia and have many marriages. Now it is indeed the best choice to cross the mountains and infiltrate Mongolia. Not only can they go back in a detour, but they can also rob them. And judging from this war,
The Ming Dynasty is really difficult to defeat, so the target can be placed on Mongolia. With Horqin's help and guidance, the difficulty of conquering Mongolia will be greatly reduced. After the road to Mongolia is opened, they can also take a detour to attack the Ming Dynasty. There is no need to continue walking.
This is the frightening Liaoxi Corridor.
This place is close to the sea, and the Ming Dynasty's well-developed boats can cut off his retreat at any time. This place is simply a Jurchen's nightmare!
"Are we still going to bow to Mingguo in the end?" Nuerhachi gritted his teeth, his face twisted and full of pain, and he thought of his early experiences again.
"Cross the mountain and go to the Haraqin tribe!" Nuerhachi closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth and said. He is a hero after all. Faced with the end of the mountain, he finally buried his own head. This is the only way now.
Well, it is impossible for them, a defeated army, to break through Shanhaiguan. Moreover, when the return route is blocked, what is the use of breaking through Shanhaiguan? Otherwise, they will be surrounded and killed by the Ming people.
Behind them was the Yulin army that had just defeated them. As long as the opponent stayed there, they couldn't rush past them.
It would be great if the Ming people came out from there. Closing his eyes, Nuerhachi thought with some annoyance, but this is impossible. As long as the other party guards the camp and cannons, it only takes two or three days to starve us.
Death, how could it possibly come out?
Judging from the current situation, the mountains are their only way to survive, and there is no way they can escape unless they want to die here.
"That's all we can do!" Nuerhachi sighed in his heart, suddenly feeling very tired. However, a piece of news was suddenly reported by Tan Ma, which made him feel excited all over, and he suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic.
"Khan, the Yulin Army has been chasing us. It is five miles away from us at the moment and is slowly moving towards us!" This news was like a bolt from the blue on the spot, instantly dispelling the haze in Nuerhachi's heart. He could only think in his mind.
The opportunity to think about it suddenly appeared in front of him, making him almost unable to believe it.
"What did you say?" Nuerhachi couldn't help but ask again. At this time, the other ministers and Baylor, who had heard the information clearly, couldn't hide their excitement. This was the field battle opportunity they had dreamed of.
"Tan Ma has relieved the opponent's cavalry from covering the battlefield, but the opponent's shielding ability is not strong, and we have detected the information. The opponent is heading towards our camp on foot with all his troops, and they will arrive in five miles." Tan Ma's words were a bit confusing, but he told the story.
Speak clearly.
"God is really helping me Jurchen!" Nu'er Hachi laughed loudly, it was a kind of joy of escaping from death. Compared with this moment, his mood was the same as that of Cao Cao who escaped from Huarong Road.
