Chapter 123 Repairing Fushun Pass (17)

The Jianzhou Jurchens had a sparse population and could only win one big victory after another. Even if they had suffered heavy losses, they could not afford it. The old slave lay on the bed and tossed and turned. Judging from the results of the past two days, the Ming army suffered significantly greater losses, but the precious Jianzhou Jurchen males lost more than 900 people. How many Jianzhou males had only been around 50,000. After deducting the old and weak, the old slave could only draw 20,000 Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers at one time, and lost 900 in one battle. If such a battle happened a few more times, there would be no males to fight.

"Report!" Someone outside rushed to Lao Nu's camp, "Urgent military information!"

The guards at the door stopped the scout cavalry and asked him to hand over the weapons. They searched him again before putting him in.

The scout whistleman stepped into the gold tent and knelt down, saying, "Report to the great khan! Minggou and a cavalry have gone to Fushun Pass! Fortifications are being built. Other spies have reported that the Mongols of Yehe and Bayan's tribe have arrived in Kaiyuan!"

When the old slave heard this, he was shocked and sweated. He jumped up from the bed: "Hurry, send orders to the three armies, the front team will be the back team, and the back team will be the front team, and withdraw from Fushun Pass immediately!"

"Ama, why did you withdraw your troops? Minggou has suffered heavy losses. As long as we attack for another three days, we will definitely kill Xiong Manzi in one fell swoop!" asked Manguertai.

"We have been trapped by Xiong Manzi! Xiong Manzi wants to trap us all here!" Lao Nu shouted, "He used infantry and chariots to restrain us, and then used cavalry to build fortifications at Fushun Pass; he also contacted the Mongolians and Yehe tribes to cut off our retreat from Tieling! If we don't leave quickly, once Xiong Manzi gains a foothold in Fushun Pass, it will be difficult to leave!"

The Later Jin army retreated urgently and rushed towards Fushun Pass. The old slave knew that the Ming army could not gain a foothold so quickly in Fushun Pass. As long as they retreated in time, they could break through the Ming army's interception and retreat outside the pass.

However, the Jurchens of Yehe tribe and the Mongols of Bayan tribe refused to let go of the Later Jin army. After learning about the withdrawal of the Later Jin army, Yehe tribe and Bayan tribe followed the Later Jin army in Jianzhou, but did not get too close to touch the heavy cavalry and infantry of the Later Jin, but followed far behind the auxiliary soldiers composed of Baoyi Aha.

"The Mongols are here again!" Abatai, who was in charge of the rear end, complained.

Although the heavy cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty was powerful, the Mongols did not collide with the heavy cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty. When they saw the heavy cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty rushing over from a distance, the Mongols immediately whistled and pulled out their horses. When they saw the Later Jin Dynasty soldiers catching up, they turned around and shot arrows. The Mongols' light arrows could not penetrate the heavy armor of the Later Jin Dynasty, but they could consume the horsepower of the Later Jin Dynasty.

When the heavy cavalry of the Later Jin retreated, the Mongolians rushed up again, shooting arrows around the coats and killing people and robbing things.

The old slave was so angry that it didn't matter if Baoyi was killed, but the Mongols not only came to kill people, but also came to rob food. Now the Later Jin Dynasty is so poor that it is so poor that the Mongols don't go to rob the rich Ming Dynasty, but they come to rob the poor Jin Dynasty?

The Mongols who followed the Jin army were like a group of evil wolves, and at this time the Later Jin army was like a tiger that was old and sick and had all lost all hair. They could only watch the wolves bite themselves.

The Mongolians of Bayan's troops snatched all the supplies convoys that had been left behind by the Later Jin army. All the stones could be removed were removed, and the bodies of the coated bodies that were killed were not wasted. They cut off their heads and packed them all for the Ming Dynasty to collect the reward silver.

The old slave really wanted to turn back and drive away the annoying Mongolians, but behind the Mongolians was Xiong Tingbi's army. If they got entangled, I was afraid that Fushun Pass had been repaired, so I wouldn't think about going back.

To make matters worse, Ye He's tribe has also arrived.

The cavalry of the Yehe tribe of the Jurchens was also heavy cavalry, and their cavalry was even stronger than the cavalry of the Jianzhou Jurchens. Jianzhou was the eldest of the infantry, and Yehe was the eldest of the cavalry.

"Heavy Cavalry! Yehe's heavy cavalry is here!" Abatai rode his horse back to Lao Nu, turned over and dismounted, and knelt down and reported.

Jianzhou heavy infantry is powerful. If Jianzhou and Yehe tribe fight together, Jianzhou Jurchen Army will use heavy infantry in the middle, with archers behind it, and heavy cavalry protecting the two wings. With the cooperation of the Korqin Mongolian light cavalry, the heavy cavalry of the Yehe tribe can be beaten to the ground for teeth and can only retreat. Once the Yehe tribe retreats, the Korqin light cavalry will entangle, and the Jianzhou heavy infantry will ride on horseback and chase them, and then line up to attack the Yehe tribe's heavy cavalry.

But now, the set of tactics of the Jianzhou Jurchens cannot be used, and the Ming army's car fort was chasing behind. Whether the Jianzhou Jurchens were fighting against the Bayan tribe or the Yehe tribe Jurchens, they were still caught up by the Ming army's car fort.

Of course, all this was arranged in advance by Xiong Tingbi. When he sent troops to Fushun Pass, he had already contacted the Mongols and the Yehe Jurchens and asked them to send troops to help him.

The Jurchens and the Mongols of Yehe tribe accepted Xiong Tingbi's invitation and went to Tieling first. However, they first watched Tieling. The defeat of the Ming army in the Battle of Sarhu made the Mongols and Yehe tribes psychologically shady. They sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight and see if Xiong Manzi could defeat the Jianzhou Jurchens. As a result, Xiong Manzi did not disappoint, and the Jianzhou Jurchens withdrew their troops.

Seeing that the Jianzhou Jurchens retreated, the Yehe tribe and the Mongols took the opportunity to come up and take advantage of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Winter is here. If the Mongolians who are about to face white disasters do not get more food at this time, I am afraid that after heavy snowfall, many Mongolians will starve to death and freeze to death.

Don’t think that the Mongolians make a living by eating beef and mutton. For them, cattle and sheep are just like farmland for the Han people. The Mongolians’ cattle and sheep are means of production. They raise cattle and sheep and eat dairy products. Only the nobles of the Mongolians can eat beef and mutton every day. Ordinary people eat dairy products and food. Most of the cattle and sheep that can be eaten when raised is too big, most of them will be sold to the Han people for food. Once the disaster comes, heavy snow falls from the sky and a large number of cattle and sheep dies. After the Mongolians eat the frozen cattle and sheep, they will soon have nothing to eat.

Therefore, the Mongols robbed and retreated Later Jin army more than anyone else. Not only were the supplies and vehicles that landed behind the Later Jin army robbed them, but even the torn clothes on the body of the coated corpse were pulled out by the Mongols.

The old slave was so angry that he whistled to the sky: "If Xiong Manzi doesn't get rid of it, I will have no way to survive in the Jianzhou Jurchen section!"

Huang Taiji stepped forward to comfort him: "Ama, Xiong Manzi is unpopular in the court. It's all because of the dog emperor Wanli who trusts him! Wanli is old and has not had a few years to live! As long as Wanli dies, Xiong Manzi will get out of here in no time! As long as Xiong Manzi leaves Liaodong, my chance to Jin will come!"

"What if the new emperor still trusts Xiong Manzi?" asked the old slave.

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Ama, Xiong Manzi has a particularly bad relationship with the Donglin Party. The child has already caused people to sneak into the capital to buy officials. As long as the dog emperor Wanli dies, Xiong Manzi will definitely be driven out of Liaodong!"

The Later Jin army did not care about the Mongols and the Yehe Jurchens who were following behind him and harassed and attacked them all the way, and rushed towards Fushun Pass desperately.

"Thank God, we finally arrived! Minggou has not repaired Fushun Pass!" When the fortifications of the Ming army ahead were very simple, he knew that because the Ming army lacked time and had insufficient manpower, he could not build solid fortifications to stop the Later Jin army. The old slave had been holding his heart to relieve himself.

Although he retreated all the way and suffered heavy losses under the follow-up of the Mongols of Bayan and the Jurchens of Yehe tribes. A large number of coats were killed, and more than half of the supplies left behind were lost, and a large amount of food and grass were lost, the Later Jin army finally escaped.

"Attack!" The old slave ordered.

The Ming army, who was guarding the simple fortifications, resisted for a while, but in the end it was lost because of too few troops and the fortifications had not yet been completed.

When the Ming army retreated, the Later Jin army had no time to chase the Ming army and quickly withdrew from Fushun Pass to the outside of the pass.
