Chapter 212: The Situation of the Later Jin Dynasty Is Not Good
Indeed.
Huang Taiji did nothing wrong.
Nurhaci, on the other hand, was not as calm as he looked on the outside.
In fact, his heart was in turmoil!
The army suffered losses.
He had previously mobilized the main force of the Later Jin to destroy the central army led by Zhao Kuangyin.
You should know that in this battle, under his command, the total loss of the Jurchen soldiers did not exceed 3,000!
However!
A flood drowned and washed away more than 20,000 Jurchen soldiers!
Among them were the elite troops composed of wild Jurchens that Nurhaci valued the most.
Aobai, who was regarded as a general by him, died, and his body has not been found yet.
Twenty thousand people were just a drop in the bucket for Li Tang.
On the other hand, for the Later Jin, which had a total of only more than 600,000 Jurchen people, it was tantamount to a serious injury.
The 120,000 troops he assembled were the result of exploitation.
The standing army that the Later Jin could maintain was only about 60,000 people.
Even so, it was still one in ten men, which was considered to be excessive military spending.
There had to be a lot of bondservants to drive, so that there would not be any problems in the Later Jin Dynasty.
When he thought of the loss of 20,000 capable soldiers, Nurhaci was heartbroken.
"All go down...!"
Nurhaci waved his hand in a weak voice.
In the tent, Nurhaci's sons and the important officials who followed the army looked at each other.
After a long while, they obeyed the order and retreated.
After there was no one in the tent.
Nurhaci sat up straight, changed his tired look just now, turned his face flushed, and then suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
The evil old man who escaped from Lin Chen's hands earlier walked out of the shadows and stepped forward to check.
"Your Majesty, this sword wound has contracted a fever, and you need to rest!"
Nurhaci looked at the arrow wound on his shoulder and fell silent.
Lin Chen might not know.
The arrow shot before actually hit the target, but it didn't seriously injure the old slave.
It was just a minor injury.
But after running around continuously, the wound of the arrow wound worsened.
In modern medicine, it is an infection.
Although this is a world of comprehensive martial arts, infection is still fatal.
So the evil old man just asked Nurhaci to rest and not to work hard.
"How can I rest in the current situation of the Later Jin Dynasty?!" Nurhaci asked back with a cold face.
The evil old man lowered his head and said nothing after hearing this.
After calming down, Nurhaci suddenly asked another thing.
"Has Oboi's body been found?"
Speaking of this, the evil old man was refreshed.
"It has been found."
"Can it be used?"
"Your Majesty, the blood and energy in General Oboi's body are really rare in the world. If it is refined into a zombie according to the ancient secret method, it will definitely be a match for thousands of people!"
When the evil old man said this, his face showed excitement.
It turned out that.
Among the secret methods he learned, there is an ancient secret book.
It is a complete corpse that is used to make a zombie.
After this zombie is successfully made, it is invulnerable to swords and guns, and has infinite strength!
It is not afraid of life and death, and dares to go through even the mountains of swords and seas of fire!
Nurhaci heard from the evil old man that if Aobai's corpse is used to make a zombie, it will be more terrifying than when he was alive!
"You go and do it, I can give you everything you need."
Nurhaci waved his hand and asked the evil old man to go down with him.
Just when he wanted to rest for a while.
Someone came to report.
It said that Zhao Guangyi brought Zhao Kuangyin's corpse to Nurhaci.
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Guangyi knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at the laughing Nurhaci.
Only Nurhaci looked at the corpse with his eyes open, and felt very happy in his heart.
If it weren't for Zhao Kuangyin, he might have swallowed up the entire Li Tang army.
It's because of this boy!
Thinking of this, Nurhaci looked at Zhao Kuangyin's corpse with a hint of hatred.
As for Zhao Guangyi, he did use his elder brother's head to get a promotion from me.
At the same time.
The remaining Li Tang army cut down trees and built camps.
The Liaodong border army was guarded by the Yulin Guards arranged by Lin Chen, so there was no trouble.
Even if there was a problem.
Lin Chen won the army of the Beijing camp and could suppress it.
Of course.
The Liaodong border army was not stupid enough to cause trouble at this moment.
The reason was very simple.
There was no food in the army.
If Lin Chen did not provide food.
Where would they find food in this cold winter?
"These Liaodong generals do things cleanly."
Lin Chen looked at the heads sent and the letters these people sent to me.
It was clear that they would lead the army to surrender.
As for the names of Zu Dashou and others, they did not appear in the letters.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen's eyes condensed slightly, and then he looked up and looked into the distance.
This direction.
That is where Nurhaci was.
Lin Chen, who was performing the Guigu magic, noticed that the black water dragon representing the Later Jin was no longer as fierce as before.
On the contrary, it looked a little depressed.
"Huh?"
Suddenly.
Lin Chen noticed that the neck of the Later Jin black water dragon was bleeding.
This was the first time he had seen such a strange phenomenon.
What does this mean?
After pondering for a while, he did not get an answer.
Looking at the golden red dragon representing Li Tang, its figure became more solid.
Especially when Lin Chen arranged a boat to send the captured important figures of the Later Jin, such as Tong Jia and others, to Beijing.
This golden red dragon shadow seemed to be a little fierce, and dared to show its teeth at the Later Jin black water dragon.
But...
Why did Lin Chen feel that the Li Tang dragon shadow looked like a husky?
The thought that suddenly flashed through his mind made Lin Chen laugh.
"No matter what, after this battle, I should be more obedient." Lin Chen muttered to himself.
If Zhao Kuangyin was not so incompetent.
The main force of the Later Jin could have been severely damaged or even completely destroyed.
Who would have thought that such an accident would happen.
"I wonder what Li Zhao's expression would be when he saw the battle report?"
The capital.
In recent days, the most discussed topic in teahouses and wine shops is the army's expedition to the Liaodong barbarians.
In the eyes of ordinary people in the capital, or scholars.
This battle should be a great victory.
The Later Jin?
A barbarian tribe, just copycats.
Only Li Zhao learned the true strength of the Jurchens from Lin Chen, and she has been a little restless.
Soon.
Several urgent battle reports of 800 miles were delivered to her.
One was from Lin Chen, and the other was from Zhao Kuangyin.
The former was Lin Chen telling Li Zhao that he had successfully entered Liaodong from the north.
The second is the news that Zhao Kuangyin's three armies are progressing smoothly.
In Li Zhao's opinion.
It seems that everything is going well.
But then.
News came from the front line of Jinzhou.
It is said that there are soldiers who escaped from the left army, saying that the left army collapsed without fighting!
Since then, bad news has come one after another.
The right army was destroyed.
The central army was cut off from supplies!
All this news was kept by Li Zhao.
Even the court officials did not know the situation in Liaodong.
Zhao Kuangyin's war was not going well, which made Li Zhao upset.
If this battle failed, some guys would probably take action.
Fortunately!
A piece of good news came to Li Zhao's ears.
Lin Chen's strategy of surprise attack by sea was a great success!
The wife of the false emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, as well as dozens of female relatives, were captured, and there were also the families of the Later Jin ministers who had close relations with Nurhaci!
Countless property and treasures were seized!
