Chapter 481 Defeat like a mountain

The army was defeated like a mountain. I don't know if it was written in military books or as the saying goes.

Haicheng was defeated, and Jiannu lost nearly half of it. There were more than 5 horses when it was launched, but it was less than [-] when it returned to Liaoyang.

However, the Ming army continued to attack, and the infantry and cavalry guns advanced steadily, giving full play to their firepower advantages, and defeated Yangguli and Sahalian one after another.

In view of the irreversible defeat and the shaken morale of the army, Daishan did not even dare to defend Anshan, so he retreated directly to Liaoyang, trying to use the advantage of the city to stop the Ming army.

Of course, the task of defending the city does not require him.Daishan did not send his sons Yuetuo and Sahalian, but left Shuoledai Saha, a general of Zhenghuangqi, leading some troops to guard.

Subsequently, Daishan led the main force to continue to retreat, retreating to Shenyang.While retreating, Daishan also ordered all Jurchens in Liaoyang to relocate.

Such a move has already shown that Jiannu has no hope of sticking to Liaoyang.Leaving some troops to defend the city is more like blocking the advance of the slow Ming army.Shuo Ledai Saha and other defenders are dead soldiers.

I don't know that it was the old slave who came back to his light, and his head suddenly became sober.After knowing the disastrous defeat, Hou Jin no longer had the strength to fight the Ming army again.

Or Daishan has lost confidence, and in the case of severe manpower losses and extremely scarce material resources, he still insists on defending cities such as Liaoyang and Shenyang, which is purely self-defeating.

Judging from the current overall situation of Houjin, it is even worse and more dangerous than during the Saarhu War.

You know, the strength of the two sides in the Sarhu War should be equal.

According to historical calculations, the Ming army had more than 7 people, plus the Yehe tribe and the Korean servant army, the actual number of troops participating in the battle did not exceed [-].

But Jiannu is facing a life-and-death battle, and it is certain that he will go all out.At that time, there were about [-] elite soldiers of the Eight Banners. After the general mobilization, the force should be [-] to [-].

Now, Jiannu has suffered successive losses over the past few years, and most of them are strong and strong.After this general mobilization, a large-scale launch was launched, but it suffered a disastrous defeat.

Therefore, when the total force is added together, there are only more than [-] left, and they are patched together, so they are not considered elite soldiers and strong generals.

What's more, the two banners in Jianzhou should be added to the total strength of the army. The water far away cannot quench the thirst of the near, so even if they gather together, it may not help.

Can't fight anymore, this is almost the consensus of Daishan and other Houjin high-level officials.Can you still hit a casualty ratio like Saarhu? Looking at the Ming army's muskets, artillery, and fighting spirit, you know it's impossible.

Of course, it is impossible for Jian Nu to give up resistance completely.They still have to resist stubbornly, stride back, and lengthen the supply line of the Ming army; the weather is getting colder and colder, which will also increase the difficulties of the Ming army.

Time, Jian Nu is trying his best to buy time so that he can get a breather.It would be even more unexpected if the policy or employment of the Ming Dynasty changed suddenly.

Hope is a little slim, but it's not time to completely despair.Jian Nu naturally didn't know who their opponent was.

However, the Emperor Ming could not make mistakes in the Battle of Ping-Liao, starting from Guangning's defeat of building slaves, he took the lead every step of the way.The planning of building slaves almost all fell into the emperor's calculations.

Coupled with climbing the technology tree, it is not surprising that the Ping-Liao war can be one to two years earlier than the emperor expected.

If you think about it from this aspect, Jiannu was already doomed a few years ago.As long as the emperor does not die, no matter how much Jiannu struggles, he will not escape the fate of perishing.

Daishan led the troops and the migrating Jurchens were still marching towards Shenyang, but the news had already been sent to Mang Gurtai in Shenyang through the express report of Kuaima.

The army suffered a disastrous defeat, and his father Khan was injured. Daishan was appointed as the auxiliary minister to manage Houjin's military affairs with full authority.

At the same time, Daishan issued an order, one is to let Manggurtai organize the Jurchens in Shenyang to move out of the city and move to Jianzhou; Hu's defense.

Saerhu is one of the gateways to Jianzhou, and the only way from Shenyang and Fushun to Jianzhou.Going north through Saerhu, you can also retreat to the land of Haixi.

The name Haixi first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, which is now the Songhua River.

Later, the Haixi Jurchen, which was called by the Ming Dynasty, was not because of its birthplace, but because of the division of Jurchen by region.

The Jurchens in the area around the Sakhalin Island in the Far East of Russia today are called "Eastern Sea Jurchens", that is, savage Jurchens; and the Jurchens living in the west of them naturally become Haixi Jurchens.

You know, the Liaodong referred to in the Ming Dynasty is now most of Jilin and Liaoning.Further north, Haixi, which is the Heilongjiang and Songhua River basins of later generations, was really a forest, sea and snowfield, a remote and bitterly cold place.

Especially after Jianzhou Jurchen wiped out the four tribes of Haixi Jurchen, annexed its population to enrich its military strength, and moved its tribesmen to the south, the land of Haixi was even sparsely populated.

Obviously, Daishan or the old slave had already made the worst plan, even giving up Jianzhou.

In their thinking, the land of Haixi was originally the place where the Ming Dynasty ruled, and it was remote and bitterly cold. The Ming army had already captured Liaodong, and it would be very difficult to continue to pursue it, and the Ming court might not be interested in Lao Shi's expedition.

The messenger sent by Daishan went to Jianzhou and Shenyang, but the two secret messengers quietly left the brigade and went to Sarhu to report the letter.

"Khan King Chuan is located in Fourteenth Baylor, and the Great Baylor is assisting the government. It is really self-inflicted civil strife." Fan Wencheng and Li Yongfang got together again, talking in a low voice.

Li Yongfang shook her head and said, "Although Sibeile is smart and good at riding and shooting, he still has the blood of Yehe. At this time of crisis, it is normal for King Khan to have doubts."

After a pause, Li Yongfang continued: "The two yellow flags were given to the [-]th Baylor, and the white flag was returned to the [-]th Baylor. With some strength, even if some people refuse to accept it, it will not help. What's more, the situation is critical. If there is another civil strife, there will be no day."

Fan Wencheng sighed lightly, and said: "So, we just informed Si Baylor and didn't push him to fight for the seat."

"The key is Big Baylor's attitude." Li Yongfang looked at the big banner ahead, squinted his eyes, and said, "Since he is already serving as a government assistant, he probably won't have other thoughts."

Daishan has two red flags, even if he is damaged in battle, he is also the strongest among the three Baylors.Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai are no longer the banner owners, and it is impossible for them to compete with the fourteenth Baylor Dorgon for the position.

But judging from Nurhachi's final arrangement, Daishan is unlikely to compete with his younger brother.In terms of strength, it is not as good as Dorgon who won the Khan's army and two yellow flags.

Therefore, even though both Fan Wencheng and Li Yongfang had good relations with Huang Taiji and believed that Huang Taiji was more capable of leading Hou Jin, they also knew that there was little hope of competing for the position.

Another point is that neither of them hoped that the civil strife in Houjin would speed up its demise.Although they are Han Chinese, these two guys have the same fate as Hou Jin, and they are closely related and inseparable.

If the Empress Jin dies, how can these two big traitors survive?Ming Ting will never forgive the sins they committed, and I know it more clearly in my heart.

Although Haixi is a place of bitter cold, it can still linger on and save its life.

Both of them also knew that the Ming army took advantage of the victory and continued to attack, and it would be difficult for Liao and Shen to keep it.Even Jianzhou is being attacked by Dongjiang Town, and the situation is already in jeopardy.
