At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Taiji, including Daishan, who had been fighting for power with Huang Taiji, and the three brothers Ajige, Dorgon and Dodo who were inconsistent with Huang Taiji.

"Huang Taiji, as a great khan, what should you do next? Let me tell you a solution."

After a long silence, Dai Shan spoke out and broke the heavy atmosphere. Although he had been competing for power with Huang Taiji recently, he also knew that in terms of true abilities, neither Dai Shan was as good as Huang Taiji.

Now the Jurchen clan has reached a critical moment of life and death, and he himself has no ability to turn the tide. If he continues to compete with Huang Taiji, let alone power, he will even lose his life.

Hearing Dai Shan surrendered, Huang Taiji was stunned. After taking a deep look at him, Huang Taiji slowly spoke, "You must not throw away the grassland!"

Although the Ming Dynasty was very threatening, no matter what, the grassland was not allowed to be lost. That was the last retreat for the Jurchen tribe, because the place they had expected to relocate was the original resident of the Chahar tribe. Before, Lin Danhan was beaten to the west by them, and the resident was occupied by them, and this was also the only territory they occupied on the grassland.

According to his original idea, if he really couldn't protect Liaodong, he would first control Korqin and other tribes, and then the entire tribe moved to the grassland and become the new lord of the grassland.

Once Lin Danhan is brought back, it will be basically impossible for them to relocate the entire tribe into the grassland, because other places are the territory of various tribes. Even if they rob it, it will be difficult for them to survive by relying on the territory of three or five tribes alone to support nearly 100,000 Eight Banners soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Jurchens.

After pausing for a moment, Huang Taiji continued, "There are only two choices next, either defeat the Ming army and draw troops to deal with Lin Danhan, or give up Liaodong and move all the tribesmen to the grassland."

"How to defeat the Ming army?"

Dai Shan frowned and said, "He didn't know what the key was to do it." Yuan Chonghuan was indeed a bit aggressive in attacking Haizhou Acropolis, but he also had a complete solution for logistics and food. If they wanted to defeat the Ming army, they had no choice but to attack head-on."

"Let Yuan Chonghuan leave Liaodong."

Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes slightly. In fact, Yuan Chonghuan is not a great general. In terms of the ability to fight in marching and formation, Yuan Chonghuan was not surprising, but Yuan Chonghuan had one advantage.

The Ming army has never been weak. Xiong Tingbi blocked them outside Shenyang City, but the Ming army had a fatal weakness, that is, the internal fighting was strong, and Yuan Chonghuan's advantage was that he knew very well about the situation in Liaodong and had enough prestige to combine all the forces in Liaodong.

If Yuan Chonghuan could be driven away from Liaodong, it would be almost impossible for the Ming Dynasty to send someone who knew the situation in Liaodong and had enough prestige. At that time, as long as there was chaos within the Ming army, they could find opportunities to completely defeat the Ming army.

"How do you let him leave?"

Dai Shan asked in confusion, now Yuan Chonghuan is in power, how could he leave?

"Before, I asked those Shanxi merchants to inquire about the news about the Ming Dynasty for me."

Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes and said, "Now, many people within the Ming Dynasty are impeaching Yuan Chonghuan. As long as Yuan Chonghuan is forced to withdraw his troops, Yuan Chonghuan will be finished."

"Daishan, you bring Zhenghong and Fenghong flags to meet Mangurtai, and with Oba and Abdul Zidarhan and others, drive Lin Danhan and the others back."

………

In the valley dozens of miles outside Santa Valley, Huang Taiji brought nearly 20,000 cavalrymen with Zhengbai and two flags of the two inlaid white flags.

"How is the situation there?"

Huang Taiji looked at the Ezhen Kakduli, Gushan, Zhengbai Banner, beside him. Since he had played a big role in the attack on Liaodong several times, he became interested in the work and arranged a large number of work in Liaodong and the grassland.

"There is news from Jinzhou City that Zu Dashou is escorting a batch of food and grass into Jinzhou City, and will be escorted to Dongchang Fort soon."

Kakduli bowed.

"Give me instructions and take a break for two hours, then pass the side wall and enter Guangning Guard."

After thinking for a while, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice.

"Yes, khan."

Kakduli responded, but after hesitating for a while, he continued, "Khan, the Ming army has so much food and grass. Even if this batch is burned, there will still be a steady stream of food and grass transport from the Ming Dynasty."

Before, Mangurtai, Oba, Abdul Zidarhan and others had burned the Ming army's food and grass several times, but they still had no effect. Yuan Chonghuan did not lack food at all.

"This time the goal is not food and grass."

Hearing this, a trace of murderous aura flashed in Huang Taiji's eyes and said sinisterly: "This time the target is the 5,000 Liaodong cavalry under Zu Dashou, no matter the loss,

All of them must kill Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao’s tens of thousands of cavalrymen!”

"Shank you, this way, our losses will probably not be small."

Hearing this, Kakduli couldn't help but look worried. The Liaodong cavalry was no more than the guards. The entire Liaodong cavalry was only more than 10,000, and they were all elites in the Ming army, not much inferior to their Eight Banners.

Zu Dashou and Zhao Rujiao are also powerful generals. If they want to kill all the cavalry under their command, their losses will definitely not be very small.

"I have decided."

Huang Taiji's expression was calm. He didn't know about this, but if he did not destroy the tens of thousands of cavalry of Zu Dashou and Zhao Shushu, it would be impossible for Yuan Chonghuan to withdraw his troops. If he continued to waste for a long time, the Jurchen clan would be completely finished.

"Yes, khan!"

Seeing this, Kakduli had to bow and respond.

…

Soon, after the two flags of Zhengbai and Yingbai were rested, they crossed Santa Valley and, under the guidance of a large number of detailed works, rushed towards the 5,000 cavalry led by Zu Dashou.

A day later, the Zhengbai and the two flags of Zhengbai led by Huang Taiji and the grain and grass convoy escorted by Zu Dashou collided head-on at Panshan Post.

A bloody battle is about to break out!

………

Dongchang Fort.

The afterglow of the sunset made the shadow of the castle grow old. On the wall, Guo Qin looked at the movements in the distance. Dongchang Fort stored the food and supplies of more than 100,000 Yuan Chonghuan's army for several months. It is absolutely impossible to lose, otherwise it would be a disaster.

At this time, dense black dots appeared in the distance, with a large number of them, at least thousands of them. Soon the black dots got closer and closer. At this time, Guo Qin saw clearly that they were Liaodong cavalry, and Zu Dashou was the leader. The cavalry behind them were frightened. From time to time, they turned their heads and looked back, as if there were demons chasing them behind them.

"Brother, why are you so embarrassed?"

Looking at Zu Dashou who was leaping onto the city wall, Guo Qin couldn't help but wonder, didn't Zu Dashou go to escort food and grass? Why did it seem like he had experienced a big battle?

Zu Dashou said with a gloomy expression: "We have met the Jurchens."

"It's not like this when you meet a Jurchen, right?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Qin became even more confused. According to Yuan Chonghuan's strategy of sending more money and giving away less, Zu Dashou and Zhao Lujiao only escorted 30,000 to 50,000 stones of grain and grass every time. Once they met the Jurchens, they would abandon the grain and grass once they could not defeat them and fled first. Before, Zu Dashou and Zhao Lujiao also encountered Jurchens many times intercepted the logistics grain and grass, but they had never been so embarrassed.

"This time Huang Taiji personally led the army, carrying the two flags of Zhengbai and Yingbai."

Upon hearing this, Zu Dashou couldn't help but say bitterly: "I have left the food and grass. I thought Huang Taiji would burn the food and grass and leave. Who knew that Huang Taiji ignored the food and grass and fought with my cavalry like a mad dog."

"Although my cavalry is brave and good at fighting, but..."

Speaking of this, Zu Dashou couldn't help but sigh. The Jurchens were elites in a hundred battles and had a numerical advantage. After several confrontations, they couldn't stand it first and collapsed. He could only lead the defeated troops back to Dongchang Fort.

"Are the Jurchens crazy?"

Hearing Zu Dashou's words, Guo Qin couldn't help but frown. Although the Jurchens were brave and good at fighting, they had a fatal weakness, that is, they were small in number. Therefore, if there was no need for the Jurchens, they would rarely have a death battle regardless of casualties. After all, there were many people in the Ming Dynasty, and even if the soldiers died in battle, they would be recruited again.

The Jurchens are different. Once they are killed in battle, it will be difficult to supplement them, because the Jurchen tribe is the entire tribe of soldiers. Except for the elderly, weak, women and children, the rest are all soldiers. One is killed in battle, and one is less than one. Unless those children grow up, they will not be able to find anyone to supplement them.

"Who knows?"

Zu Dashou's face was low. This time, his troops and horses only followed him back to thousands of people. The others either fled to the wilderness or were killed by the Jurchens. It would take at least half a year to restore to the level of five thousand people.

After all, cavalry is not as good as infantry. Even if you can be recruited from infantry, it will not take a day or two to learn riding and riding and shooting.

"Brother of the ancestors

You can arrange for your subordinates to rest in Niuzhuang Post, and I will send someone to inform the manager first."

After a moment of silence, Guo Qin spoke.

…

On the other side, Panshan Post.

"Khan, we have killed more than 2,000 Liaodong cavalry and fled more than 2,000 people."

Kakduli rode his horse to Huang Taiji.

Hearing Kakduli's words, Huang Taiji didn't say much. Being able to kill more than 2,000 cavalry was already the reason why he gave the death order. Under normal circumstances, even if he defeated the other party, it would be great to kill hundreds of people.

"How much is our loss?"

After a moment of silence, Huang Taiji continued to ask.

"Eight hundred and sixty-two people were killed in battle and more than one thousand were injured."

Kakduli looked low. Although the casualties were much less than those of the Liaodong cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, these were all his tribe members, and the number of the Jurchen tribes was incomparable to the Han people. Even if there were ten to one casualties, the Ming Dynasty could hold on, and they would have to exterminate the tribe.

"Is there any news about Zhao Rujiao?"

Seeing Kakduli's face, Huang Taiji sighed in his heart, but he had no choice. If Yuan Chonghuan could not retreat, the casualties in Haizhou Acropolis would be even greater.
