Chapter 167 The Battle of the Hun River ([-])

"Well, it is said that Qin Liangyu led thousands of white soldiers stationed on the bank of the Hun River, ready to attack Nurhachi. At that time, Nurhachi was attacking Shenyang City."

"Hey, "History of the Ming Dynasty" records like this, saying that Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are invincible in all battles. They are known as the White-armed Army. They are famous far and wide, and they make the enemy fearful."

"At that time, Qin Liangyu sent his elder brother Qin Bangping to lead the white-armed soldiers to Liaodong to reinforce the Ming army. When they went, the army was strong and full of spirits."

"As I said just now, in the first year of Tianqi, in 1621, when Xiong Tingbi was dismissed, Nurhachi sent troops south to attack Shenyang City. Qin Liangyu led the white-armed soldiers to station on the bank of the Hun River."

"They plan to cooperate with the Ming army in Shenyang City and directly counterattack Nurhachi, so as to wipe out the Jurchen tribe on a large scale. Well, that's the plan anyway. It sounds very good."

"But just when the Baigan soldiers sent people to Shenyang City to get in touch with the Ming army in the city, hey, someone came to report at this time, saying that Shenyang City had been defeated by Nurhachi."

"It's a step late, isn't it? Hearing the news, Chen Ce, the general of the white-armed army, plans to lead his troops back."

"But at this time, there was a general named Zhou Dunji who was unwilling. He repeatedly asked Chen Ce to lead an army to attack Shenyang City, and take back Shenyang City before the Jurchens have a firm foothold."

"Whether this is Zhou Dunji's real intention is not clear to us now, but it can be seen that this Zhou Dunji is impatient and he really wants to fight."

"At the beginning, the commander-in-chief Chen Ce said that the Jurchens had already occupied Shenyang City and had many soldiers. If we attack again at this time, we have almost no chance of winning."

"Hearing this, Zhou Dunji was very unconvinced, and he said it immediately. He said, since we can't rescue Shenyang City, then what are we doing here for three years?"

"Hey, I have to say that what Zhou Dunji said was really aggressive. When Chen Ce heard it, he couldn't hold back his face at the time, so he decided to counterattack Shenyang City."

"Soon, the Baigan soldiers split into two groups. Both Zhou Dunji and the deputy commander of the Baigan soldiers, Shi Zhu, Siqianshu Qin Bangping crossed the Hun River first, and established a defensive point on the opposite side."

"As for general Tong Zhongkui, chief soldier Chen Ce, Zhejiang general Qi Jin, and general Zhang Mingshi led [-] Zhejiang soldiers to establish a support point on the south bank of the Hun River. Well, that's their battle plan."

"Soon, the white-armed soldiers crossing the Hun River launched an attack on the Jurchens in Shenyang City. At the beginning, the Jurchens saw that there were only a few thousand white-armed soldiers, so they relaxed their vigilance."

"Don't think that the Jurchens are arrogant and arrogant. There is a reason why people look down on white soldiers. What is the reason?"

"We all know that the origin of the Qing Dynasty was the Eight Banners soldiers, but Nurhachi was not called the Eight Banners soldiers at that time, and the largest name organization of a phalanx army was called Gushan."

"Of course, at the beginning, the titles of the troops were not so perfect, and the titles of some troops were still called according to the tribe."

"It is said that the Eight Banners cavalry's charge combat effectiveness is no less than that of the chieftain soldiers in eastern Sichuan, so the Eight Banners soldiers look down on the white soldiers who are attacking."

"Because the number of white-armed soldiers is too small, they rushed through the city gate several times but did not rush in. However, the white-armed soldiers have strict discipline and are not afraid of death. Moreover, it is the first time I have seen the Eight Banners soldiers with weapons. Because they have no defense, the Eight Banners Isn't it surprising that soldiers died and injured more than white soldiers?"

"Besides, the most elite troops in Nurhachi at that time were called the Hongba Jiala Army, the elite of the elite, but they were beaten to death by the white soldiers, which shocked the entire Eight Banners Army!"

"This matter is recorded, and there is evidence. It is recorded in the "Records of the Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty". It is said that the cavalry was defeated, and Nurhachi hurriedly asked the rear troops to step forward to replace them."

"The cavalry here refers to the Hongbajiala army. It is said that the Hongbajiala army was beaten by white soldiers and suffered heavy losses. Nurhachi had to quickly let the standing army go up to replace the Hongbajiala army."

"Furthermore, "Quanbian Luo Ji" and "Mountain Hearing and Seeing Records" also record that the Baigan soldiers defeated the Eight Banners soldiers in succession, and the Eight Banners soldiers, who had the power to conquer Shenyang City, were killed and wounded by the attacks of the Baigan Army infantry. There were thousands of people, and the cavalry who came for reinforcements from behind were beaten and fled."

"Because of the bravery of the white pole army, many generals under Nurhachi's hands were killed in battle, such as the general Xi Fuxian, the left leader Xiertai, Grand and other generals."

"At the beginning, although the Eight Banners soldiers retreated steadily, they were trained through hundreds of battles. After they got used to the attack of the white soldiers, they reacted and began to confront the white soldiers head-on."

"At that time, the Baigan Army defeated the Eight Banners Army's attacks wave after wave. They were already exhausted physically and mentally, and they had no food soon. Even so, the Baigan Army fought against the Eight Banners Army with a disparity in strength. It was inextricable. "

"For this part of the historical facts, there is also a record in the Qing Dynasty's historical material "Manchu Old Archives", which shows that the infantry of the army is the best of the best, brave and good at fighting, and they can't fight back. There is one general on our side and two guerrilla generals. Captured by the Ming army."

"Attention, the Ming army here refers to the white-armed soldiers, because Houjin did not distinguish between the factions of the Ming army, and any army sent by the Ming Dynasty is the Ming army."

"Not only that, Gu Yingtai, a man of the Qing Dynasty, also recorded in his "Ming History Chronicles", saying that the generals fought bravely, first defeated the white flag soldiers, and then defeated the yellow flag soldiers, and beheaded two to 3000 people."

"Hey, although Gu Yingtai is from the Qing Dynasty, he recorded this incident from the side of the Ming army. The generals he mentioned are the generals of the white soldiers."

"Because the fighting power of the white pole soldiers is too strong, the Eight Banners soldiers have been captured and captured several generals, and the Eight Banners elites have also lost thousands of people. This makes Nurhachi very angry."

"Hey, just at this time, Li Yongfang, the surrendered general of the Ming army, found the artillerymen of the Ming army who surrendered when they attacked Shenyang City, untied them personally, and rewarded them with a thousand gold to let them join the Eight Banners, and then used artillery to attack the white soldiers. .”

"With the blessing of the artillery this time, the Eight Banners soldiers felt that they were doing well again. After a fierce confrontation, the Eight Banners soldiers dragged the white soldiers to death. What's going on?"

"It turned out that the Eight Banners soldiers continued to attack, which prevented the white pole army from getting enough rest and meal time. In this way, soon, the white pole army could not hold on."

"It is said that after the continuous attack of the Eight Banners soldiers, the white pole soldiers could not hold on. Zhou Dunji, Qin Bangping, and general Wu Wenjie, guarding Lei Anmin all fought until they were killed."
