Chapter 106: Sony
Many of the Ezhen of the Bordered Blue Banner who led the army to attack the village fled. Some minor officials such as Bashiku and Daizi who were supervising the battle on the north side were still holding on, organizing the flag soldiers to suppress the groups of dead soldiers and Tainikan who were about to cause chaos. However, more and more shield carts began to flee, and the intensity of the battle on the entire north side dropped greatly.

Since the appearance of Li Hao and the elite troops of the Ming army, all the Tatars near the top of the hillside who could escape fled, and those who did not escape moved hundreds of steps away, hiding behind shield carts and observing the situation.

The standard camp prepared a war horse for the commander-in-chief and delivered the two hard maces.

Among the brave soldiers who had fought with Li Hao before, Huang Long rushed the fastest when going uphill. He was shot by two arrows by the Tartar infantrymen near the shield cart and had been carried away for treatment. The total number of the remaining brave soldiers who died in the battle had not been counted yet, but only about eighty people were able to continue fighting with the commander-in-chief.

This result was due to Li Hao's command error. After charging into the formation previously, he should have ordered the generals to lead the troops back to the camp instead of allowing Huang Long to incite the soldiers to continue charging up the hillside.

"There are not many Tartars left in the north. The thirty of you will go back and patrol along the route you just rushed up. Bring back the dead and injured comrades who have fallen, and find my battle axe."

He pointed out more than 30 soldiers with the most blood on their bodies and sent them to bring back the soldiers who had fallen behind.

When everything was ready, a group of servants suddenly squeezed out from the gap.

"I am willing to follow Marshal Li to kill Amin."

These are Jin Guoqi and more than sixty of his servants. Seeing that the Jinzhou general was preparing to charge into the Tartars again, this group of soldiers in the city gate volunteered to fight.

"Then come together."

Li Hao gave a short shout and rode his horse southward.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves arose, and the fierce soldiers and generals followed their commander and charged forward with great momentum.

The Jurchen soldiers in the camp pointed out Amin's appearance and location to the commander. After Li Hao killed the Blue Banner army on the north side, the second prince quickly gathered his troops and prepared to seize the Ming army's boats in the river bay on the south side.

There were several thousand regular bannermen in the Eight Banners, and everyone had a horse, so they gathered together very quickly after the disintegration.

According to Li Hao's observation, Amin still did not give up attacking the camp, and the battle on the south side was still going on. They probably robbed the boats in order to leave a way out.

After all, the Ming army had many more ships than them, and more sailors who were good at swimming.

Although the attack on the stockade was unfavorable, as long as the Eight Banners seized the Ming army's boats and the boatmen living on the boats, their initiative along the Sancha River would be greatly increased.

"Don't fight to the end, follow me and go straight to Amin." During the charge, Li Hao did not forget to give orders to his subordinates.

Jin Guoqi added, "All soldiers should keep a close eye on Amin. If there is any attempt to cover up, report it to the commander and his comrades."

This group of Ming troops was targeting the leading Tartar, so naturally they looked down on the other messy Later Jin soldiers.

The Ming general Li Hao was famous. Even though the leader of the Bordered Blue Banner sent out several orders to the Niulu Ezhen along the way to organize an interception and siege, no Blue Armor Banner soldiers blocked the Ming army's charge route. They only dared to shoot a few arrows from a distance.

He didn't even dare to aim before shooting, for fear of angering Li Hao, who was bloodthirsty, and the group of fierce soldiers behind him.

After all, we don't punish the diligent or the lazy, we only punish the short-sighted.

The soldiers of the Bordered Blue Banner were unwilling to die for their leader, the Prince, and the soldiers of other banners were even more perfunctory and tried to live in complacency.

Therefore, the two or three thousand Tatars who gathered at the river bend to seize the ships were like sheep seeing a sheepdog, and they avoided the charge of the Ming army in an orderly manner in chaos.

"Damn it Archina, why can't I even stop it!"

Amin was furious at the rapid change of the situation, and he gradually understood the saying that a defeat is like a landslide.

There were not many Bayara guards around him. Niulu Ezhen and Jiala Ezhen, who had previously come up to him to fawn on him, were all gone, and they ran as far as they could.

It seemed that the Second Prince was already dead and could not issue military orders.

After losing command of the army and the protection of a large number of flag bearers, the leader of the Bordered Blue Banner found that he did not have much courage to face Li Hao.

Was it going to be chopped in two by the giant axe?

Amin's eyes went dark and he almost fell down. Fortunately, the guard Bayala beside him was loyal and reached out to support him, preventing the leader of the Bordered Blue Banner from making a fool of himself in front of his subordinates.

"Flag Master Beile, get on board quickly!"

At the critical moment, an old general under Amin played a role. He led people to search out dozens of sailors hiding in the cabin.

Most of the ships docked by the Ming army at this river bend were small and medium-sized grain transport ships built in Shandong and other places. The capacity of a single ship and its cargo generally did not exceed 400 dan.

Seeing that the pursuers were only two or three hundred steps away from him, Amin did not waste any more time and jumped directly onto the boat. He drew his sword and put it on the neck of the boatman rowing the boat, then headed towards the prepared canal boat.

There were quite a few small boats for transport, and the Bayara guards beside Amin boarded the boats one after another, two or three people in a boat, following the flag owner to the larger grain transport ship.

However, most of the boatmen were Han people from Liao who came from Dongjiang River and Juehua Island in western Liaoning. They had a deep hatred for the Tartars. Therefore, when the boatmen moved a little away from the shore, they started to make trouble, using oars to make the boat rock back and forth, until the Tartar soldiers grabbed the side of the boat with both hands and relaxed their control over the boatmen.

Many boatmen jumped directly into the river, and then continued to shake the boats, trying to get the Tartar soldiers on the boats into the river.

The armor plates on the Tartar soldiers weighed dozens of kilograms, and they couldn't swim after entering the water. Moreover, the outer layer of the cloth armor was all cotton, and the weight increased greatly after being soaked in water. "Damn Nikan, Nikan is extremely cunning, I will kill all Nikan when I get back."

There were two Bayara guards on the boat where Amin was. When the three Tartars saw the changes around them, they immediately killed the boatman on the boat, then rowed themselves and followed the boat where the old general of the Bordered Blue Banner was.

This was the scene Li Hao saw when he led his troops to attack.

"Well done. Come on, some boatmen, take us over there. Amin is in the second boat ahead. We must not let him get away."

The Ming army was not worried about the boatmen using tricks, so they openly recruited the boatmen swimming in the water and the nearby transfer boats.

"Marshal Li, please take a look at my methods."

More than a dozen boatmen vied to row the boat for the general. After Li Hao asked his subordinates for a bow and a pot of arrows, he boarded the boat closest to him.

In order to speed up the pursuit, Li Hao's boat brought two rowers, and it only took a short time for them to catch up with the canal ships that had been controlled by the Tartars.

Amin was standing on the shoulders of two Bayaras and climbing up the side of the canal ship. There were also several Tartars on the ship pulling him up by his armor.

After Li Hao showed up, the Tartars holding oars on the canal boats panicked and started rowing hard, without caring whether the flag owner was on board or not.

Amin only got halfway up and was stepping on Bayala's shoulders. The movement of the canal boat made it difficult for him to step firmly and he almost fell into the water.

"You blind slave!"

Amin, who was even more panicked, cursed loudly, exerted force with his arms, and climbed up again with the help of the flagman on the boat.

The bow in Li Hao's hand was a large bow commonly used by the Ming army. He hurriedly aimed at Amin's arm and shot three arrows in succession, which made the leader of the Bordered Blue Banner fall into the water.

Seeing that the flag owner could not be rescued, the canal ship quickly headed towards the east coast, away from the killer Li Hao.

"Don't let him choke to death! The person in the river is Amin, capture Amin alive."

Li Hao shouted loudly and mobilized nearby boatmen who were good at swimming to capture Amin who fell into the water.

"Just wait and see, Marshal!"

A dozen boatmen in the small boat at the rear dived into the river bend and searched for a while before they managed to get the unconscious Tartar onto the boat.

"Is he dead? If not, bring him back to life, send him to Jinzhou, cut him into slices, and feed him to the Liao people."

Li Hao was extremely concerned about Amin's life or death, and stood up to watch despite the swaying of the boat.

"To reply to the Marshal, if he is still alive, Amin will suffer a lot in the future."

An older boatman pressed on the Tartar's chest a few times and confirmed that Amin was still alive.

The Jinzhou general then felt relieved and ordered the boatman to row back to the shore.

Of course, the surviving Bayala nearby were cleared out by this group of Ming troops, and the river bend was temporarily safe.

"Hide at the other side of the river bend, and don't let the Tartars who are looking for a boat to cross the river find you."

After Li Hao gave orders to the boatmen, he first took the half-dead Amin back to the military camp, and then came out again to kill all kinds of Tatars carrying flags.

Without a commander in chief, the Later Jin army on the west bank was quickly defeated. The Eight Banners soldiers with horses quickly moved away from the Ming army camp in groups of dozens of people from their respective banners. Many of the soldiers without horses died and Tainikan surrendered.

The two sides deployed their battle formations and fought for about an hour. It took the Ming army two or three hours to reorganize the various surrendered soldiers and gather shield carts and weapons. It was not until dark that they basically cleared the battlefield.

Two pieces of news reached the victorious Sanchahe military camp, neither of them was good.

"The fierce Tartar general Laosa led the Mongolian soldiers to surround Guangning City. They first attacked and killed the defending general Zhu Mei, and then separated an army led by Sony and Oba to plunder southwards. They were almost at the border of Jinzhou."

"General Zhao led his troops to attack the camp, but was besieged by the well-prepared Tatars. General Zhao was hit by three arrows and led the remaining troops to retreat back to Haizhou City."

In the central military tent, upon hearing these two disturbing military situations, all the generals did not know how to choose.

"General Li, Haizhou City is strong and can protect itself. Jinzhou has no generals in charge, so we have to rescue it."

Someone analyzed the situation and suggested that the general lead his troops back to support Jinzhou City.

"It's just to deal with Sony and Oba. A few hundred cavalry are enough. You continue to defend the Sancha River line. When I come back, first attack the Tartar camp and then take Liaoyang City."

Just a Sony, Li Hao is not even worth a dish.
