Liaoyang is only 90 miles away from the Liaohe River, and only 80 miles away from the place where Wang Hongyu and Huang Taiji fought yesterday.
After Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai were repelled, they quickly reunited with Nurhaci.
Nurhaci asked Mang Gurtai to guard Hunhe and Shenyang, and marched to Liaoyang with Huang Taiji's white flag.
Not only Jiannu, but also the main force of Kormi Mongolia.
Oba, the leader of the Kormi Mongolia, and his tribal warriors Mangus and Wu Keshan, led 10,000 cavalry, kicked up dust all over the sky, and headed straight for Liaoyang.
Yuan Yingtai was stunned.
He knew in his heart that even though he tried his best, he couldn't even beat the 5,000 blue flag. Now that the terrifying Nurhachi is here, why should he beat him with his head?
The Mongolian soldiers under his command who spent a lot of money to appease them saw that Nurhachi was coming, and then they saw that Kormi's Oba Khan was also coming, and they all raised their troops to respond.
It had only been half a year since he came to the Ming Dynasty from the grassland. Who worked for Yuan Yingtai and fought with Hou Jin and Kormi?
In addition, among the Mongolian refugees, Nurhachi had been involved in the secret work earlier. At this time, they no longer concealed themselves and began to talk.
"Look, Kormi is here! They are all Mongols, hurry up and vote!"
"Look at Kormi, they used to be a small tribe, but now they are completely powerful with Houjin!"
"Don't work for Yuan Yingtai anymore, he has no money or food to give us!"
The spies shouted, and the Mongolian soldiers instantly changed their banners.
They themselves are mercenaries at best, and their credibility is still the lowest, because they believe in the prairie tribe's belief that strength is the most important thing, and they have long been accustomed to being defeated by the wind.
Yuan Yingtai went into chaos without fighting. Thousands of Mongolian soldiers beat him until Yuan Yingtai abandoned his camp outside the city and fled back to Liaoyang City in a hurry.
Oba, the leader of Kormi, saw this and suggested to Nurhaci that they should immediately pursue him and follow him into the city.
Nurhaci shook his head: "As early as 30 years ago, this Khan had been doing business and cooperating with various large households in Liaoyang to deal with the profiteers of the Ming Dynasty in Kaiyuan. Those big households in the city will never forget the benefits that this Khan has given them.
We will welcome you with all our strength.”
Oba didn't understand the inside story, but Kormi relied on Kaiyuan trade and his life had been stable. Later, Nurhaci's Jianzhou Jurchens cooperated with Liaoyang's big players, squeezing out Kaiyuan trade, and also made Kormi's life difficult.
.
After that, Kormi became an enemy of the Jianzhou Jurchens, but could not defeat them.
Now, the prosperous Kaiyuan of trade in the past has turned into ashes, and Kormi has no choice but to follow the Jurchen path of Jianzhou.
However, the Ming Dynasty was very powerful. His subordinates told him that just yesterday, the Zhengbai Banner and the Zhenglan Banner together could not defeat the thousands of people retreating from the Ming Army.
In this case, let's retain some strength, cooperate with the Jianzhou Jurchens on the surface, and also contact the Ming Dynasty secretly, and let's see the future development trend...
In fact, most Mongolian tribes on the grassland had a similar mentality. Afterwards, Huang Taiji eliminated Chahar Lindan Khan and gathered the entire eastern part of the grassland to plunder the Ming Dynasty. Most of the mentality was also the same.
It wasn't until they also followed the plundering and obtained benefits that were incomparable to trade that this wavering of thoughts gradually diminished.
Nurhachi was not as broad-minded as Huang Taiji, and he did not want to give too many benefits to his former enemy Kormi.
Therefore, entering Liaoyang cannot be dominated by Auba.
Huang Taiji rolled his eyes and observed the words and expressions to discover the mystery.
"Father Khan, our army can surround three and only one is missing. If we let our people gain momentum, as long as we welcome our army into the city, we will be rewarded heavily."
"Good! It is the best policy to subjugate the enemy without fighting!"
Nurhachi sent an order to place the Zhengbai Banner and Kormi in the north, the Blue Banner and the Two Red Banners in the east, the two Yellow Banners in the south, and the Baiqi Banner as a backup. The west side of Liaoyang was surrounded on three sides, so that they could see the hope of escaping back.
All the banners, including the Zhengbai Banner, looked greedy at the thought of quickly taking over this largest city in Liaodong with over 100,000 people.
"Masters! My slaves dream that they can take over Liaoyang, live in a big house, have endless food and clothing, and marry a bunch of wives! Because only masters are worthy of such a life!"
"I have been familiar with the streets here since I was a child. I know where there are good food, fun places, and good places to live. I will lead the way for my masters!"
Fan Wencheng and other traitors expressed their loyalty at the top of their lungs, which made Jiannu elated. He immediately cheered up and shook off the shadow of his recent defeat.
Fan Wencheng was not satisfied, so he ran back and forth to the wrapping line:
"In the past, you were oppressed by dog officials and lost your land, children, and livelihood. Now you have paid for it with blood, and the masters have taken it back for us!"
"Everyone, please do your best! The Great Khan is fighting for us Liaodong people! The earth will be moved to fill the moat, and each of us will need to contribute. Those who contribute will be heavily rewarded!"
"Those who have meritorious service can raise the flag! They can become masters! They may even have the opportunity to be promoted from Han to Manchu!"
Fan Wencheng kept talking about the train and drew one cake after another.
Huang Taiji was very interested after hearing this. He mounted his horse in front of the wrappers and said loudly: "Everything Mr. Fan said is true! Ben Beile has personally witnessed it!"
A large number of coaters cheered.
However, most of them were brought over from Sarhu and Hetuna in the second batch. Many of the first batch of coaters died on the banks of the Hun River. At this time, it was not considered that Houjin could be stable for a long time.
Huang Taiji continued to talk eloquently: "There are no Manchus in this world, only the well-known Jurchens, Mongols and Han people. My father saw that Liaodong was being exploited by the dog officials of the Ming Dynasty, so he worked hard to fight for the survival of the Liao people.
Invent the best language in the world - Manchu! Use the Jurchen, Han, Mongolian and other ethnic groups in Jianzhou to form the most advanced, hardworking and brave Manchu! As long as you work hard, you can raise the flag from the Han Dynasty
So full!"
The flag-raising at this time was truly part of the Manchu Eight Banners, and was definitely not comparable to the later Mongolian Eight Banners or the Han Eight Banners.
"Raise the flag! Raise the flag!"
"For the Khan! For the gold!"
The tens of thousands of new coats brought over were extremely excited, and each of them was going through fire and water.
The first batch of remnants of Bao Yi were dumbfounded. They had experienced such a state before, but the result was that they saw the Eight Banners soldiers unable to defeat the Confederate Army, but they killed Bao Yi. No matter how fancy they said it, they felt a rush in their hearts.
Extremely cold.
Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng looked at each other, and the effect was achieved. The surviving coatings from the previous batch...were useless!
After a while, all the ditches and rivers were filled and used as consumables and leeks.
Start testing from the north first.
The north side of Liaoyang City was attacked by the Zhengbai Banner and Horqin Mongolian armies. The moat was more than three miles wide and one mile deep. At this time, the moat was filled with water.
The river embankment is made of stones, and the south bank is three feet higher than the north. The south bank of the river is still a long distance from the city wall. This is to ensure that the foundation of the city wall is waterproof and moisture-proof.
Leaving a distance between the city wall and the moat will not give the enemy extra space to attack and climb after crossing the river. Even if the enemy fills the river, he will not be able to do so unless the river is filled in a large area.
The first wave of coating minions were no longer useful except as consumables, and they were driven on.
