Huang Taiji, who had not been so excited for a long time, secretly lamented that the emperor had treated him well.
This time, things were going more smoothly.
He hoped that tomorrow's expedition could capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, capture the emperor and the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and not only obtain a large amount of gold and silver. , can also plunge Ming Dynasty into civil strife.
But his good mood disappeared by the end of the afternoon.
When Wei Qi, E Keqin and Zhuo Butai asked for an audience, Huang Taiji was very surprised because he had told Wei Qi to stay with Ta Bai to prevent the impatient Ta Bai from making mistakes, but now it was Wei Qi who left Ta Bai and came here. , if something happened, Huang Taiji immediately ordered to summon him.
When Wei Qi and others entered the big tent covered with dust, especially Zhuo Butai's armor was stained with blood, and several people knelt on the ground in embarrassment, Huang Taiji's heart sank.
"Reporting to the King of Khan, Liu Ye Tabai was killed in the battle at the foot of Zhuozhou City two days ago.
His last words before the battle were to ask my slaves to escort E Keqin back to the big tent and report to the King of Khan."
Wei Qi reported anxiously.
The only person who felt more at ease in his heart was Zhuo Bu.
Tai eventually withdrew, albeit in a bit of embarrassment.
E Keqin cried bitterly.
Seeing Tabai's death in battle greatly stimulated E Keqin, and he vented his anger at this time.
Well, what Huang Taiji didn't expect at all was the news that Tabai was killed in battle.
He commanded five or six thousand cavalry.
Although most of them were Mongolian light cavalry, they were cavalry after all.
Where and how they were defeated and died.
"Weiqi, tell me in detail."
Huang Taiji did not get angry.
Wei Qi was an old minister from his late father.
He had always been diligent and relied on Nurhaci.
This time Huang Taiji sent him as Tabai's assistant just to control Tabai.
The reins of this fierce horse.
"King Binghan, six days ago, three Taiji tribesmen from the Horqin tribe were defeated at the hands of 5,000 reinforcements from Denglai of the Ming Dynasty in Gu'an.
Most of them were lost.
After hearing the news, the Sixth Master immediately organized his troops to fight and stopped them at the foot of Zhuozhou City.
The Ming army reinforced its troops and fought fiercely at the east gate.
This time, the Ming army's artillery fire was sharp and killed our army heavily before it took over.
After the Ming army took over, it dared to fight with our army.
Both our army and the Ming army were seriously injured.
The Mongolian cavalry retreated.
Our army was outnumbered, and the Ming cavalry began to pursue.
In order to meet the retreating soldiers, Liu Ye ordered his troops to rush into the battle.
Before leaving, he ordered his servants to escort the young master Eke back to the tent.
I was waiting a few miles away and saw Liu.
I took hundreds of armored soldiers back to the formation, but the Sixth Master himself was trapped in the enemy's formation and died fighting hard.
The slaves did not dare to delay the important matter and came here in a hurry to report to the Khan."
Seeing that Huang Taiji did not immediately become violent, Wei Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
At least his life and fortune were safe.
Huang Taiji couldn't believe what he heard.
The Ming army only numbered four to five thousand people, and Tabai's subordinates were not considered to be many.
Since entering the customs, hundreds of cavalry have defeated thousands of Ming troops many times.
The goddess's strength even used fewer strikes to capture the strong city where the general soldiers of Ji Town, Santun Camp are stationed.
How come they were defeated in a battle with almost equal numbers?
In a rout, even Tabai lost his life.

As for whether Tabai lost his life, although Wei Qi and others did not see it in person, they only saw the flag fall to the ground and the war subsided.
Huang Taiji knew very well that Tabai, the so-called elder brother, could be easily broken if he was too strong.
He couldn't bear it.
This charge was proof.
He couldn't bear his own defeat.
It was impossible for him to be defeated and captured.
He must have been killed in action.
"Wei Qi, please tell us the battle formations of the Ming army in detail."
Huang Taiji calmed down and listened carefully to the news.
This Ming army dared to challenge the Jurchen cavalry and was able to defeat them.
It must be a powerful enemy.
Wei Qi calmed down and spoke one by one.
The more Huang Taiji listened, the uglier his expression became.
Artillery bombardment, continuous fire blunderbuss, pike squadrons daring to fight, and cavalry rushing into formation, Huang Taiji told himself that there was no good way to do it under Zhuozhou City.
This Ming army can compete with the Zhejiang Army and Shizhu Army on the Hun River.
They are definitely powerful enemies that they have not seen for many years.
He also feels sorry for Tabai in his heart.
This time is really not his problem.
It is not a crime of war.
When his father Khan ruled More than 10,000 troops attacked the Zhejiang Army and the Shizhu Army.
They failed to advance several times and suffered heavy casualties.
This was the largest loss in the process of capturing Liaodong.
It was not until artillery was used to blast away the enemy formation and the cavalry broke in that the Ming army was annihilated.
The casualties on both sides were basically equal.
This is why Father Khan took the heads of Ming army generals and made them into wine bottles.
This shows his hatred for this Ming army.
Father Khan has spoken here.
If you see the Ming army that dares to fight, you will definitely annihilate it and take away the courage of the Ming army.
After the Hunhe War, Nurhaci summoned his sons and ministers to discuss how to deal with such a Ming army in the future.
After all, no one knew when the vast Ming Dynasty would have such a brave and capable Ming army.
The result of the discussion is that when the numbers are equal, the enemy can only open up the enemy's formation with artillery fire, and the cavalry and infantry take advantage of the situation to break into the formation.
When the enemy is outnumbered, we will stand in a frontal stalemate, attack with arrows and crossbows from the other three sides, destroy their formation, and finally annihilate them.
The enemy, as for when the enemy is numerous and we are outnumbered, we can only avoid the battle.
Tabai is also among the people who are discussing with us.
However, Huang Taiji understood that without going through a battle, no one knew the strength of the Ming army.
After all, they were neatly arranged and seemed to be of extraordinary strength.
There were many Ming armies that were defeated in a battle, so he sighed that this reckless brother was really serious.
I can't really blame him for his bad luck.
At the same time, Huang Taiji knew that his ambition was gone.
Seeing Huang Taiji's sullen expression, Wei Qi also stopped talking and did not dare to say anything.
However, E Keqin ignored him and his mother died tragically on the spot.
In the past two days, he had been in great pain and vowed in his heart that he would take her.
The heads of the generals of the Ming army were made into wine bottles to avenge themselves.
"King Khan, this Ming army is different from other Ming armies.
They stood in front of them and sang the Nikan war song, which was full of insults towards me, Da Jin.

It seems that they have a blood feud with me, Da Jin, and they are not afraid of soldiers and armor when they join the battle.
Dare to die, King Khan, this Ming army must not be left behind, otherwise it will be a big trouble for me in the future."
E Keqin burst into tears and fell to the ground to pray.
Upon seeing this, Huang Taiji hurriedly stepped forward to help E Keqin.
After all, Tabai was not following him, but he did not submit to Daishan and Mang Gurtai, otherwise Huang Taiji would not have let him lead the army alone.
Today, for the country For those who suffered losses in battle, they had to compensate their nephews and make others feel cold.
"Kiss me, the descendants of the Aixinjueluo family must hold their chests high and avenge themselves with the swords in their hands, but they cannot just cry like Nikan.
Don't worry, this Ming army must not be allowed to stay.
I Dai Jin will definitely eradicate it and avenge your Amma."
E Keqin stopped crying and stood up.
Of course, Huang Taiji couldn't hear everything Wei Qi and E Keqin said.
He called the guards of Wei Qi and E Keqin who were waiting outside the tent into the tent and asked them respectively.
They all said the same thing.
At this point, he was convinced that the Ming Dynasty Another strong enemy appeared in Denglai who dared to fight.
Huang Taiji immediately ordered to recall the troops who attacked the capital, and at the same time sent two Niulu to investigate Zhuozhou, determined to find out the whereabouts of this Ming army.
At this time, he sighed deeply in his heart, it was really God's wish that failed.
The generals Mang Gurtai, Azige, Jierhalang and other generals who were attacking the capital of the Ming Dynasty looked at each other in shock when they heard the order to return.
At this time, they had just defeated the Ming army led by Man Gui, the commander-in-chief of Datong, You Shilu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, and others, killing most of them.
They were waiting to take advantage of the situation to attack the capital, but they received an order to return to Nanhaizi.
It's really weird.
Mang Gurtai was extremely resentful, and of course he thought wrongly.
He thought that Huang Taiji must have seen him win several times in the past few days, and was afraid that his prestige would rise, so he was holding him back like this.
When Niu's temper got worse, he wanted to resist his orders and refuse to return.
After hard persuasion from Jierhalang, Azige and others, he reluctantly agreed to return immediately, dilly-dallying along the way and feeling extremely unhappy.
When they arrived at the camp, they heard the news of Tabai's death before they saw Huang Taiji.
Mang Gurtai and others were shocked.
This was the first of his father's sons to die in battle.
From this perspective, he was the first to die in battle.
An unprecedented defeat.
Not the number of casualties.
It was about the identity of the general who died in battle.
Although Tabai was not in a high position, his talents were average.
After all, he was the son of his father Khan and the son of the master of the Kingdom of Jin.
After such a defeat, if he did not gather his troops to take revenge, Dajin would lose his face. , the Aixinjueluo family’s face is no longer needed, no matter from which perspective.
This revenge must be avenged.
At this time, everyone understood Huang Taiji's helplessness in ordering the troops to return.
Although the situation of attacking the Ming capital was excellent, they had to withdraw their troops.
Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai, Azige, Jierhalang, Dorgon, Duo Ze, Tang Gugu and other Aixinjueluo family members gathered together to discuss the aftermath.
Everyone promised to kill this Ming army, use the heads of the Ming army to pay tribute to the dead Tabai, and use the blood of Nikan to wash away the great shame of the Aisin Gioro family.
At this point, Huang Taiji ordered Jierharang to lead 3,000 Jurchen soldiers, including 2,000 Mongolian cavalry, and 1,000 Han troops to guard the Nanhaizi camp.
After all, all the gold and silver rations looted in this expedition were here, so nothing could be lost.
In Tang Dynasty, Duo Ze followed him.
The others organized their troops and headed for Zhuozhou the next day.
The Jurchen Yellow Banner, the Xianghuang Banner, the Zhenglan Banner, the Zhengbai Banner, and the Xiangbai Banner have a total of more than 16,000 soldiers and bannermen, more than 5,000 soldiers, 2,000 Han troops, and 2,000 Mongolian soldiers, a total of two More than 16,000 people marched towards Zhuozhou in a mighty and murderous way for more than ten miles.
At this time, the Jurchens in the queue all share the same hatred.

Since the old Khan King started his army more than ten years ago, no general as noble as Tabai has been lost in battle.
This is a great humiliation to the Jurchens.
For more than ten years, After winning consecutive battles, the Jurchens could not accept such a defeat, and only revenge could wash away their shame.
Huang Taiji was extremely troubled at this time.
He could not take advantage of Yuan Chenghuan's imprisonment and attack the city when Liao Town collapsed, so he could only return to the army.
Moreover, he got the latest reward for his horse exploration.
This Ming army was the Denglai reinforcements, Zhuozhou After the war, this Ming army entered Zhuozhou very cunningly and did not continue to march towards the Ming capital.
After hearing this, Huang Taiji's heart sank.
This Ming army was powerful and had a strong city to rely on, so it was not easy to capture.
Then he received reports that nearly 10,000 Denglai reinforcements arrived in Gu'an.
Huang Taiji was extremely angry.
The Ming army Apart from Liao Zhen, the one most hated by the Jurchens was the Denglai Ming Army.
This Ming army never had a direct confrontation with the Jurchens.
They always harassed Dajin from the coasts of southern Liaoning and other places.
When the Jurchen army came to attack, they immediately went to sea and fled.
When the army returned, the Denglai army immediately returned to harass the Jurchens.
The Jurchens were unable to cultivate here.
It is extremely abominable to make Haizhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, Jinzhou and other places desolate.
This can be said to be the first time the Denglai army faced off against Dajin, and it caused Dajin to suffer a big loss.
Now, what Huang Taiji wants to find out most is whether the nearly ten thousand Ming army in Gu'an can be as good as Zhuozhou's soldiers.
Dare to fight.
For this reason, he asked Li Yongfang to send additional sentries to investigate the Ming army in Gu'an.
It was difficult for the Ming army to enter Gu'an, but Ming people on the way could know some details about the Denglai army.
Huang Taiji ordered Li Yongfang to find out. , otherwise I’ll see you in person. s: Thanks to Kuaiji Mountain Man 007, Wen Da Ke Xia, The Invincible Emperor, The Four Young Masters of Xijing, A Cup of Tea, The Fragrance of Jian Chen, Summer, Yu Jia, Birds Without Birds, Nineteen Squares, Sunshine Broken in the Palm, Immortality For the rewards of Love Fire, The Fool of Sand, J Rice Cooker Master, Into the Night, Iron-Blooded Hidden Sword, Banana Girl, and The Queen’s Little Shou, thank you friends who subscribed and recommended.
