113 Han Eight Banners
Amin underestimated the enemy and suffered a great loss in Mangui's hands. When the two shots against each other, more than a hundred people were shot to death and hundreds of people were injured.
Now he finally woke up. He was prepared for it. He had all the swords, shields, bows and arrows, and had tens of thousands of people. He was just a pioneer with only two thousand people under his command. He came in a hurry and had no weapons and equipment, so he couldn't play with him.
He could only send people back to report the news, while cutting down trees and making rafts, and waiting for the main army to come honestly.
Three days later, in the evening, Jiannu filled the Eight Banners, and nearly 100,000 Han Banners finally arrived. They worked hard all night. The next morning, the east bank of Daling River suddenly became like a forest and the camp was like a sea.
At this time, dozens of generals wearing armor and riding on the iron armored horses were lined up on the river bank.
The four major beiles, Daishan, Amin, Mangourtai, and Huang Taiji.
Four little Bell, Zirgalang, Azig, Abatai, and Babutai.
The five powerful generals, Fei Yingdong, Eyidu, He Heli, Ilhan, and Anfei Yanggu.
There are also surrendered generals Liu Aita, Tong Yangxing, Li Yongfang, etc., who are really full of starry generals.
At this time, Jiannu was strong and powerful, with a rainbow of morale and a strong moment, and his military strength reached its peak since the rebellion of the armor.
At this time, the troops of the Eight Banners had reached 80,000, and most of them were cavalry, including a large number of iron armored cavalry, and their combat effectiveness was amazing.
The newly formed Han Eight Banners have also expanded to more than 50,000 under the lobbying and instigation of surrendered generals such as Tong Yangxing and Li Yongfang.
These people were originally members of the Ming army. Some were captured and persuaded to surrender after the battle between Shenyang and Liaoyang, some were defeated and failed, and some were originally associated with Tong Yangxing, Li Yongfang and others.
In short, they were originally guards of the Ming border troops, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
The expansion of the eight banners of the Jiannu Han was so fast. Qi Jin did not expect that, nor did Sun Chengzong not expect that.
Of course, the Eight Banners did not come out in full this time, which was similar to what Qi Jin and Sun Chengzong expected.
After all, they had just occupied thousands of miles of fertile soil in Liaodong, and someone would have to guard the rear.
Therefore, this time, only the Eight Banners of Han were all out, and only about 60% of the people and horses of Manchu Eight Banners came.
Despite this, Nurhaci, who led an army of nearly 100,000, also thought he was invincible.
He looked coldly at the other side of the river, and then said disdainfully: "The Ming army on the opposite side really ambushed more than 10,000 troops?"
Amin quickly said carefully: "Yes, Khan, I won't investigate for a while and fell into their ambush. Please punish the Khan."
This is actually something that others can hear. After all, the death of more than a hundred elite Eight Banners in battle was a great loss for them, and he could not say a word.
Amin believes that with his achievements, this loss will not be punished.
Sure enough, Nurhaci just hummed slightly, and then said to a heroic general on the side: "Aita, when will the navy warship arrive?"
Liu Aita was not originally named Liu Aita. His real name was Liu Xingzuo. Liu Aita was given to him by Nurhaci.
He was also a Han native in Liaodong. However, he was not a voluntary sentence to the Jiannu like Tong Yangxing and Li Yongfang. He was accused by Jiannu as a slave since he was a child. At that time, it was Da Beile Daishan who burned, killed and plundered his hometown!
He was captured by Daishan in the 33rd year of Wanli. Later, with his intelligence and talent, he gradually gained Nurhaci's trust and became Nurhaci's son-in-law.
In short, he was the most powerful Han army general among Jiannu at this time. Tong Yangxing was only the second-class general, Li Yongfang was only the third-class general, and he was the first-class general. In terms of seniority, Tong Yangxing and Li Yongfang had to call him uncle!
At this time, he was in charge of the huge territory of Haizhou Wei, Gaizhou Wei, Fuzhou Wei and Jinzhou Wei. He was a powerful general of the Southern Four Guards. Nurhaci's sons and nephews had few more power than him.
However, at this time, he was a little disgusted with Jiannu, because the Jiannu was too cruel in the process of occupying Liaodong, and burning, killing, looting was almost everywhere, which reminded him of his childhood, his hometown, and his fellow villagers.
He could not stand this atrocity!
In history, Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, took advantage of this to instigate the general officer of the Southern Four Guards, thus seizing the Liaodong Peninsula, and jointly with the general of Pidao Mao Wenlong to launch a strong counterattack, which almost overturned Jiannu.
Unfortunately, Yuan Keli was dismissed from office and investigated for disobeying Wei Zhongxian. This great victory that was enough to reverse the fate of the Ming Dynasty eventually turned into a big killing of Jiannu against the four guards of the Southern Four Guards. Liu Xingzuo was eventually killed in the battlefield and ended in hatred!
Of course, these are all later stories, so I will not be able to explain them for the time being.
At this time, Liu Aita was only disgusted with Jiannu's atrocities, and he did not have any grudges about Nurhaci's father-in-law.
He bowed respectfully: "Da Khan, since the Gaizhou Guard Port is far away from here, and after entering the Daling River channel, it is difficult for the navy warships to move forward, so the navy warships come slowly and will not arrive at around noon."
Nurhaci nodded slightly, and then said to Li Yongfang beside him: "Yongfang, you can prepare well. As soon as the navy warship arrives, you will lead your men to the other side by boat."
Why is it me again?
Li Yongfang is so depressed, sweating, you are too partial!
It was obviously a warship under Liu Aita, but he asked his men to take the initiative to charge. What is the reason?
Now he has worked hard to pull his men over with his relationship!
Alas, there is no way. Dahan just pampered this son-in-law, and no one could do anything about it.
He could only wave his sleeves helplessly and bowed: "Slag."
Nurhaci looked at the other side again, and then ordered: "Health, you can lead your men to build a few pier along the river."
Alas, everyone is the Eight Banners of Han, why don’t you let Liu Ai Tower go?
In fact, the infantry under the three of them were about 15,000 at this moment, and Liu Aita had the most powerful navy in his hands.
The problem is that Nurhaci is favoring Liu Aita, the son-in-law who was trained since childhood, and he asked him to do all the dirty and tiring work with Li Yongfang!
There are 10,000 Ming troops lying on the opposite side. How to build this wharf?
Of course, no matter how difficult it is to build, he has to bite the bullet. Such dirty and tiring work is what traitors and lackeys like them should do!
To put it bluntly, the Eight Banners of Han are cannon fodder, and they all know this in their hearts.
After Nurhaci brought a group of generals back to the camp, Tong Yangxing ordered people to send orders, gathering all his swords, shields and archers under the river bank, while others were sent by him to cut down woods nearby.
About an hour later, the wood was ready. At Tong Yangxing's order, thousands of swords and shields immediately lined up in neat formations to protect thousands of archers and rushed towards the river bank.
"Kill..."
Tens of thousands of people roared together, and Daling River seemed to be boiling.
At this time, a long row of shield walls also emerged from the river bank opposite.
"Kill..."
The same roared together, and the momentum seemed to be better.
Then there was "swoosh swish swish swish swish swish", "swoosh swish swish swish", and the two sides shot each other across the river bank.
Thousands of arrows were shot at once, dark clouds pressed against the top, and arrows were like rain.
"Aoops", most of the arrows were blocked by the iron shields of both sides, but some arrows just happened to hit the shield array and shot into the archer array behind them.
"Puff puff puff puff", people kept getting caught in arrows, but the rain of arrows in the sky never stopped.
Tong Yangxing was also a soldier of the Ming army. Such killings should not have happened. However, there were too many people in this troubled world that ultimately forced them to stand opposite the Ming army and become cannon fodder for Jiannu.
After about ten rounds of shooting each other, the rain of arrows finally stopped. It was not that they used up all their arrows and the main archers were exhausted.
At least one strong bow with more than six dou, shooting an arrow is like lifting a huge rock of 100 kilograms. Ten rounds are enough to make your hands weak and sweat all over.
Seeing this, Tong Yangxing immediately ordered: "The sword and shield protect the archers and the archers are coming down the river, and the others are going up and nailing wooden stakes!"
Is this life-threatening?
There is no way. Although it is dangerous to do so, they have to go up, because they may not die if they go up. If they don’t go up, Jiannu will probably cut them down!
Soon, tens of thousands of shield hands and archers rushed into the knee-deep river, while the remaining thousands carried wooden stakes and started to hammer behind them.
Seeing this, Man Gui could only do anything, and his archers also needed rest.
The two sides spent a whole morning intermittently. Tong Yangxing's men were killed and injured, but they forced to build several temporary docks with their lives.
Although there were not many casualties on Mangui's side, thousands of archers were already exhausted and sweating, and their hands were shaking.
At noon, a long string of black dots suddenly appeared on the river surface to the south, and Jiannu's naval warship arrived!
Chapter completed!
