Everyone was stunned when they saw the Ming Dynasty flag suddenly appearing outside the city.
On the city wall.
Fulin’s mouth was so wide open that a brick from the city wall could be stuffed in.
Sony, Tan Tai, Aobai and others stared with their eyes wide open, their faces as pale as paper.
Outside the city, He Luohui and the Eight Banners soldiers behind him stood there motionless like clay sculptures.
Hula! Hula!
The sound of the flag in the wind was like a slap in the face, hitting Fulin hard in the face.
"Then..." Fulin pointed at the Ming national flag with a dark face and asked, "What is that?"
"It seems to be... the national flag of the Ming court..." Sony answered stutteringly.
Fulin's face twitched uncontrollably.
He never expected to see the Ming Dynasty flag in Shenyang City.
Is this still the capital of the Qing Dynasty?
"What are they... shouting?" Fulin asked again.
"It seems like the Ming army is mighty, killing...something, restoring something, etc. I, an old minister, have poor hearing and cannot hear clearly." Sony lowered his head, not daring to look Fulin in the eye.
"Ah!" Fulin was struck by lightning and almost fell to the ground.
No matter how stupid he was, he could have guessed that the Ming army was shouting "Kill the Jiannu and recover Liaodong."
Aobai hurried forward to support Fulin's body, "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your health!"
"What dragon body!" Fulin pushed Aobai away, "The Ming army has already beaten us to our doorstep, why are you still paying attention to the dragon body?"
Fulin swallowed his saliva, pointed at the Ming army that was carrying the flag and shouting while running, and said: "We promised to drive the Ming army out of Liaodong. After more than a year of fighting, not only did we fail to achieve our goal, but we were beaten to the gates of Shengjing by the Ming army."
"In another year, I'm afraid the Ming army will be able to reach Hetuala, right?"
(Hetuala was the capital of Nurhaci when he was the Khan. It was built in the 31st year of the Wanli reign and is located in Yongling Town, Fushun, Liaoning Province. In the first year of the Tianqi reign, Nurhaci moved the capital to Liaoyang, and in the fifth year of the Tianqi reign, he moved the capital from Liaoyang to Shenyang.)
In Fulin's eyes, Hetuala was the base of the Eight Banners.
The meaning of being beaten to Hetuala by the Ming army is self-evident.
"We are guilty!" The ministers on the city wall knelt down in unison.
"Your Majesty," Aobai rushed to say, "I am willing to lead a troop of soldiers out of the city, kill the Ming army carrying the flag, and eliminate the enemies outside the city!"
Others looked at Oboi with contempt.
The reason he volunteered to fight at this time was simply to show off in front of Fulin and gain his trust.
Just as Sony was about to intercept, there was a loud sound of horse hooves outside the city.
After recovering from his shock, He Luohui personally led 5,000 elite troops to pursue the Ming army carrying the flag.
He had to bring back the flag-bearing soldier's head to report no matter what.
This matter concerns the reputation of the Qing Dynasty and cannot be taken lightly.
At this time, the Ming army carrying the flag had arrived at the southwest corner of Shenyang City.
Instead of circling north, they continued westward and soon turned south to meet Gao Wengui.
He Luo will be chasing closely behind.
Gao Wengui had only two thousand cavalrymen, far less in number than He Luohui.
In addition, it was a long-distance raid, and both the men and the horses were exhausted.
So without any hesitation, he turned around and ran.
After running for more than ten miles, Gao Wengui organized his troops to resist for a while, but was defeated and continued to retreat.
After repeating this twice, Gao Wengui arrived at a place more than 30 miles away from Shenyang City.
This place is located between Shenyang and Wujingying Village.
It is the junction of the Liaohe Plain and the Liaodong hills and mountains.
The terrain is diverse.
There are mountains, hills, plains and rivers.
Perfect for ambushes.
Li Dingguo's 4,000 cavalrymen on the northern line were stationed here and set up an ambush circle.
It was already evening, and the setting sun dyed the clouds and the earth a red-gold color.
Gao Wengui was the first to enter the ambush circle and immediately organized troops to wait for He Luohui's attack.
He Luohui was already holding his breath.
What's wrong?
I’m so angry about being slapped in the face!
The slap from the Ming army not only hit Fulin in the face, but also hit the faces of all the Eight Banners soldiers.
He wanted to capture Gao Wengui alive and then cut him into pieces to relieve his hatred.
When he saw Gao Wengui standing there motionless, his first thought was to rush over.
"Sir, the terrain ahead is undulating, don't fall into an ambush by the Ming army!" The deputy general next to him immediately reminded He Luohui, "Besides, it's getting late, fighting at night is not a good idea."
"Ambush!" He Luohui didn't care. "The Liaoyang defenders reported that they only had 2,000 soldiers heading towards Shengjing, but we have 5,000 elite soldiers. There's no need to be afraid of them."
"But..." The deputy general next to him hesitated and reminded loudly: "Since this Ming army entered the country, Liaoyang has lost contact. If there is another Ming army behind this Ming army, the Liaoyang defenders will not be able to send any news!"
"Whoa..." He Luo pulled the reins of the warhorse hard.
The warhorse was running so fast that its hooves slid on the ground for a distance before stopping.
The Eight Banners soldiers behind him also stopped.
Seeing that He Luohui was about to see through the plan, Li Dingguo, who was commanding from a high place, lit a grenade with his own hands.
boom!
Violent explosions echoed throughout the wilderness.
Four thousand ambush troops plus Gao Wengui's two thousand cavalry rushed forward and killed He Luohuifan.
He Luohui was shocked and hurriedly led his troops to flee.
But he was too impatient just now and ran to the front of the team during the pursuit.
Now everyone was running backwards, and he inevitably fell to the back of the team.
As they turned, the Ming army surrounded them.
Boom——
The hooves of six thousand Ming troops came roaring forward, crushing the earth.
He Luo would be instantly overwhelmed by the Ming army.
The personal soldiers and bondservants around He Luohui hacked and hacked desperately, trying to break out of the encirclement with He Luohui.
Relying on their heavy armor and sharp swords, they managed to withstand the attack of the Ming army which was several times their number.
However, the other Eight Banners soldiers did not stay to fight, but ran back for their lives.
He Luohui and others soon became disconnected from the main force.
The Ming army had more than a dozen layers of people inside and outside, surrounding He Luohui.
Logically speaking, the Bordered Yellow Banner was the elite of the Eight Banners, with strong combat power and strict military discipline, and should not have fled on the battlefield.
But it's not their fault.
He Luo would be the first to escape. If the commander escapes, there is no reason for others not to escape as well.
Furthermore, the Ming army's ambush came too suddenly, and the unprepared Yellow Banner was stunned and lost its fighting spirit.
No matter how fierce the Eight Banners soldiers were, they could not withstand the attack of the Ming army which was several times their number.
The personal soldiers and bondservants around He Luohui fell one after another.
At the end of the battle, only He Luohui was left.
At this time, he was covered in wounds, and blood had dyed his yellow armor red.
Gao Wengui shook off the blood on the knife and urged his horse to come in front of He Luohui.
"You...who are you?" He Luohui asked in a weak voice.
"Ming Dynasty troops!"
"I'm asking...who is your commander?" He Luo spat out a mouthful of blood while speaking.
"You deserve it!" Gao Wengui urged his horse forward and stabbed him to death with a knife.
