"Commander, in front of us is the Manchu Xingjing Hetuala. This city was built on the south bank of the Suzi River. The Suzi River is a tributary of the Hun River. There are Ma'erdun, Gule, and Jiefan Villages in the north of the river, and Sa is in the east of the river.
"Erhu", Tong Yangjia was from the Liao Dynasty, and he introduced Yang Huai to the topography of the Hetuala area.
Hearing the two place names of Sarhu and Hunhe, Yang Huai felt a pain in his heart. It was these two great battles that broke the backbone of the Ming Dynasty!
He respected the famous Ming general Liu Wei the most in his life, and asked: "Where did General Liu Wei die in battle?"
Liu Wei was the most powerful general in the Wanli Dynasty. The iron sword he used weighed more than 120 kilograms (some say more than 80 kilograms). It turned quickly and quickly. He was known as "Liu Dadao" and defeated Burma, Korea, Bozhou, and Luoxiong.
, great achievements in battle.
Tong Yangjia said: "In the Battle of Sarhu, General Liu Wei didn't know that Du Song had been defeated. His lone army penetrated 300 miles, and more than 2,000 people from the Eastern Route Army died in the battle at Abdaligaang."
When he heard that the hero died a heroic death, Yang Huai couldn't help but said angrily: "Today, my commander-in-chief vows to avenge the Ming Dynasty loyalists who died in Sarhu!"
"Commander, I composed a song "Qinyuan Chun" to commemorate the loyal soul of Sarhu, and I would like to sing it for all the princes to listen to," Kuang Lu, a famous scholar and governor of Liaodong, said.
"Okay, Mr. Kuang is here to sing."
"Qinyuanchun·Saerhu"
The lonely hillock is full of smoke, the sad song of Saar, the dream of the mighty general is broken.
I hope that the army will pacify the north, and my loyal soul will be strong,
On the banks of the Hun River, there is a whimpering and turbulent scene.
This hatred is endless, the heroic spirit is immortal,
Only if the Hu chieftain is wiped out will he like it.
The wind is coming, a hundred thousand troops are rising, and the war is raging.
The infatuated heart can sleep forever and watch us clean up the old mountains and rivers.
There are countless tigers and tigers, and the whip cuts off the flow.
Why is it so difficult to wipe out the Tartars?
Victory or defeat depends on time, people's hearts are in Han,
Thousands of horses and thousands of troops are seeking a battle.
Heaven moves vigorously, laughs at people with lofty ideals, and washes Helan with blood.
Kuang Lu sang this song "Qinyuan Chun·Sar Hu". He was a famous scholar and was proficient in music. He sang this song in a cadence and impassioned way. After listening to it, all the generals were so excited that they jumped on their horses and whipped their whips, hoping to conquer the Qing captives.
Xingjinghetuala, wash away the shame of Sarhu.
??
Hetuala has two floors: inner and outer. The outer city is nine miles in circumference and the inner city is four miles in circumference. At that time, Nurhachi and his relatives lived in the inner city, while the outer city was divided into areas for blacksmiths, bowsmiths, and sergeants.
Zhenmulima and Bahana of Qinggu Mountain led 18,000 banners and garrisoned the city together with Li Sizhong's 5,000 remnant troops who had fled back.
"Mulima, this Ming army is so cunning. They didn't camp at Zaotu Mountain. Instead, they came directly to kill me at Hetuala. What should I do?" Bahana asked the general who was guarding the city, Mulima.
Although they are both Gushan Ezhen, Mulima has a profound background. He is the brother of the coach Aobai and a popular person in the eyes of Emperor Shunzhi, so Bahana listens to Mulima in everything.
Mulima gritted her teeth and said, "There's nothing to say, just defend until the army counterattacks!"
"嗻!"
War affairs are really ever-changing and there are no fixed rules. According to common sense, the Ming army should seize favorable terrain before attacking the city and set up their camp on Zaotu Mountain southwest of Hetuala. Unexpectedly, after Yang Huai's troops defeated Li Sizhong's troops, their morale dropped.
Wang Sheng did not even seize Zaotu Mountain, but directly camped in the south of the city and attacked the city. This made Ao Bai and Yi Bilong who were ambushing in Zaotu Mountain like a punch on cotton, with nowhere to use their strength.
However, Aobai was a veteran general after all. In addition to setting up an ambush of 30,000 troops in Zaotu Mountain, he also ordered Aung Bang Zhangjing Ye Shuke to lead 5,000 troops to ambush in the reeds by the Suzi River;
Da, led five thousand troops to lie in ambush at Crow Falcon Pass by the Great Wall in the southwest of Jianzhou.
Crow Falcon Pass is a famous dangerous pass. The pass is as dangerous as a bird of prey when viewed from the mountain. It is divided into three passes. Today it is called Sandao Pass. It is the boundary between Liaodong and Jianzhou.
"My lord, the Ming army has not entered our ambush circle, what can we do?"
Ao Bai asked Pengchun a little anxiously.
"Commander, the soldiers are deceitful and cannot do what they want. Although the Ming army did not camp at Zaotu Mountain, they did not send scouts to the mountain to check, which shows that they did not notice anything strange. Commander, you might as well wait.
Wait, when the Ming army's siege force is exhausted, they suddenly rush out from the mountains to attack, and they will win!"
"Good!"
??
The Ming army began to attack the city. This city attack was very strange. They only attacked the south gate, leaving the east, north and west gates for the Qing army to escape.
Mainly because the Ming army went north through Yizhou and went deep into the hinterland of Jianzhou. Jianzhou was the base of the Qing Dynasty. Most of the local people were bannermen, so it was difficult for the Ming army to obtain supplies from the local area. There were only more than two months left in the army.
He wanted to break the city quickly and deliberately only attack the south gate, leaving three gates for the enemy to escape.
There was a burst of artillery fire from both sides, and then the Ming army's archers and gunmen, under the cover of the carriages, approached and shot the defenders, and covered the infantry's climb to the city.
Yuan Doupiao, Li Shifang, and Li Huan led more than 20,000 imperial troops, pushing ladder carts, and bravely attacked the city.
Mulima, Bahana, and Li Sizhong resisted desperately.
The fierce siege battle lasted for two hours, with corpses piled up like mountains and blood staining the city walls red.
??
Ao Bai, who was lying in the Zaotu Mountain, felt that the time was almost up and issued the general order to "attack with the whole army".
"Da da da!"
Thirty thousand cavalry came from Zaotu Mountain like a violent storm. Generals such as Yi Bilong, Wohe, Yisang'a, Pengchun, Zhong Nai, Zu Zehong and other generals took the lead and charged forward.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Angbang Zhangjing Ye Shuke led five thousand soldiers and horses and fought out from the reeds by the Suzi River.
"Kill the enemy according to your quota!"
Mulima roared wildly, and three Gushan Ezhen soldiers, Mulima, Bahana, and Li Sizhong, led their troops out of the city of Hetuala.
Yang Huai broke out in a cold sweat and knew something was wrong, but he had followed Emperor Guangwu for many years and knew that he must not cause chaos at this time. If the commander was in chaos, the whole army would be annihilated.
He calmly ordered: "Array!"
Following the military order, the Ming army's spearmen were in front, the gunmen and archers were in the middle, and the sword and shield hands were placed behind them, and they began to form an array.
Fortunately, Zaotu Mountain is still some distance away from Hetuala, and the Ming army was all elite soldiers who were killed in the sea of blood from the Corpse Mountain, and they quickly formed a formation. However, the Korean army was in chaos, and only the guarding envoy Li Shifang was there.
Don't arrange the 4,000 people from the Shenliu Department in formation.
Liaodong Governor Tong Yangjia saw that the situation was not good, so he rode his horse to Yang Huai and said, "Commander, the situation is urgent! Cut off the tail to survive!"
"Cut off the tail to survive? How to cut off the tail?" Yang Huai asked.
"Commander, the North Korean army is too weak and has not formed a formation yet. It is better to abandon the North Korean army and leave. The main force of our army will be preserved.
Yang Huai took a look at the North Korean army and saw that there were only a few thousand North Korean troops in a sloping formation. Most of them were still in a chaotic formation, and there were even North Korean troops still attacking the city.
He knew that nothing could be done. Time was running out, he had fought too many battles, and his heart had already become harder than a stone.
"Retreat", Yang Huai shouted the military order.
"Woo~woo~woo~"
The retreat horn sounded, and the Ming army formed a military formation, fought and retreated, and withdrew to Wu La Mountain City. Li Shifang, Shen Liu and other North Korean generals who had formed a formation followed behind.
When Yuan Doupiao and Li Huan heard the clarion call to retreat, they ignored the formation and led more than 20,000 Korean troops to follow behind in a swarm and ran wildly.
