Chongzhen, the imperial court, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and all the people of the Ming Dynasty believed that he had pledged allegiance to the Jiannu.
He had no way out.
Since then.
Shi Lang is still the same Shi Lang, but Shi Lang is no longer Shi Lang.
......
February 28, the 25th year of Chongzhen.
The Ming army arrived at Fushun Pass and immediately sent troops to investigate the situation in the Sarhu area.
Sarhu is located east of Fushun Pass and on the south bank of Hunhe River.
It is the junction of mountains and plains.
Controlling this area is equivalent to controlling the gateway to Jianzhou.
Man Dahai did not stay in Sarhu, but instead followed the example of Nurhaci and set up camp and built defensive fortifications in Jiefanzhai, five miles northwest of Sarhu.
After making sure there were no ambushes nearby, Wang Yongji ordered Wu Sangui to station in Sarhu.
He led the remaining troops to station in the rear.
The Ming army did not launch an attack immediately, but waited.
Wang Yongji's purpose of dividing the troops was the same as Yang Hao's back then.
On the surface, it was to encircle Hetuala.
In fact, the main force was used to lure out the main force of the Jiannu army, and then quickly outflank them from two flanks.
Complete the tactic of removing the fuel from the fire.
Once the city of Hetuala was broken, the Jiannu army’s morale would be completely destroyed and they would be doomed to failure.
But Yang Hao made three fatal mistakes.
One is overestimating oneself, and the other is underestimating the enemy.
The third and most fatal point: intelligence leakage.
Perhaps some people think that Yang Hao himself leaked the information.
After all, he wrote a letter to Nurhaci before the war, telling him about the Ming army's plan to dispatch troops.
In fact, the contents of the letter are all false.
The Ming army's gathering made such a big noise that everyone in Liaodong knew about it.
In order to confuse Nurhaci, Yang Hao wrote a letter.
In the letter, he told Nurhaci that the Ming army had 470,000 troops, divided into eight routes to attack Hetuala.
Either surrender or be wiped out by the Ming army.
That's all.
As for the time of dispatch, the marching route, and the generals in charge, not a single word was mentioned.
Under the influence of three mistakes.
The Ming army was defeated and Yang Hao was arrested and imprisoned.
Wang Yongji neither overestimated himself nor underestimated his enemy.
As to whether the information had been leaked, Wang Yongji could not guarantee it.
But one thing is certain.
If the information was leaked by someone, that person must be Wu Sangui.
So he decided to let Wu Sangui launch the first attack.
