The Gushan Ezhen Jin Li of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty personally led the vanguard. As a banner leader, although he was the banner leader of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, he could be called the commander of the vanguard. This situation is rare. Jin Li was a Han Chinese, a standard Han Chinese, and a Wu Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty. He had guarded Liaodong in his early years and surrendered to the Later Jin in the second year of Chongzhen. If you want to say that Jin Li was still capable, after surrendering to the Later Jin Dynasty, he was incorporated into the Zhenghuang Banner. Because of his military achievements, he was promoted to the Jiala Ezhen of the Zhenghuang Banner.

When the Eight Banners of Han were formed, Jin Li was transferred to the Eight Banners of Han and became the banner owner of Zhenglan Banner.

The banner owners of the Eight Banners of Han were all brave and warlike generals, and they had experienced the struggle of the Eight Banners of Manchus. If there were many of them who were surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but after surrendering to the Later Jin Dynasty, the minds of these people had long changed. Whether they were entering the pass to fight or fighting in Liaodong, their performance was even more cruel and showed no mercy. As for the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han, most of them were Han from Liaodong, and these people were the same, and they firmly supported the Later Jin and Huang Taiji.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Han Eight Banners is not weak at all. Although the Han Eight Banners were formed for a short time, the starting point was very high, which was completely different from the former Manchu Eight Banners. The daily training was also very strict. When they were just formed, they participated in many battles. In that major victory in Liaodong, the Han Eight Banners made great contributions.

Jin Li led the leading troops, which Duoduo personally ordered. Jin Li must obey the order.

There is no trace of contradiction among the Manchus. Although it is said that Manchus are powerful and powerful, they obey commands and take the overall situation into consideration, but in the process of specific operations, this dissatisfaction will still be reflected, and it will be somewhat obvious when it comes to Jin Li's head.

Jin Li used to be Jiala Ezhen of Zhenghuang Banner. He was absolutely loyal to Huang Taiji and became the banner leader of the Eight Banners of Han. He was the only one who followed Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji made Haoge the crown prince. Jin Li firmly supported him and submitted a memorial to express his loyalty again. This behavior was taken for granted in Huang Taiji's view, but in Dorgon and Duoduo's view, it was untolerable.

The plan discussed by Jiergalang and Duoduo was that Duoduo led 50,000 people to attack, which was composed of these 50,000 soldiers. It was all the soldiers of the Inlaid White Banner among the Manchu Eight Banners and all the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner among the Han Eight Banners, including some Han army. Unfortunately, Huang Taiji limited the number of troops led by Duoduo and only allowed Duoduo to lead 30,000 people to launch an attack. Duoduo could only obey the imperial edict. The number of people was reduced, and it was impossible to lead all the soldiers of the two banners. So when he set out, among the 30,000 people led by Duoduo, including all the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banners of the Han Eight Banners, eight thousand soldiers of the Inlaid Blue Banners of the Manchu Eight Banners, and two thousand Han troops.

Duoduo's arrangement is of course selfish. He launched an attack from Haizhou and faced the Jiangning Camp, and the casualties must be huge. As the banner owner, Duoduo certainly wanted to protect the Inlaid White Banner as much as possible. This is capital, allowing the Han Eight Banners to undertake the main offensive tasks, killing two birds with one stone. The casualties were the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, and the credit was his own.

Duoduo must strictly control Jin Li. After all, Jin Li is the banner leader. If he is with his soldiers, who knows if Jin Li has other ideas, or report all the deployment and combat information to Huang Taiji or Jiergalang in private. After the vanguard of the Han army was defeated, Duoduo immediately made arrangements to let Jin Li lead two thousand vanguards. This is reasonable and shows his importance to the vanguard. Moreover, the focus of the vanguard of the two thousand vanguards is also composed of the sergeants of the Han Eight Banners, and only a small number of soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Jin Li dared not have any objection, but he felt uncomfortable inside. No matter what, as the lord of the Eight Banners of Han, he should at least become Duoduo's deputy. If he became a vanguard when launching an attack, it would be natural. He could be sent as the commander of the vanguard and commanding two thousand soldiers. Wouldn't this be useless?

Negative emotions must be vented. Jin Li did not dare to speak, but he could only lose his temper in front of his subordinates. The main task of the vanguard was reconnaissance. Jin Li's requirements were very strict. The soldiers under his command believed that it was basically impossible to complete the tasks arranged and deployed. For example, within a day, all the situations in a radius of hundreds of miles must be investigated and detailed reports must be made to ensure that the army can march smoothly. Reconnaissance is not a marching. It is necessary to observe the surrounding situation and make analysis and judgment. A radius of hundreds of miles is at least divided into three directions. The detection in the front is the most important, and the investigation on the left and right sides is also indispensable. There is no need to investigate behind. Since such a task cannot be completed, it is only a fool to report everything is normal.

Fortunately, the march passed for most of the day and nothing happened.

When the vanguard passed by Lijia Village, Jin Li felt a sense of emotion. The former vanguard stayed here, but was encircled by Jiangning Camp. Only one hundred people returned. The Han army that followed the army to fight was basically wiped out. As a Han Chinese, Jin Li still felt a little sad. No matter how hard the Han people tried, they were unpopular in the Qing Dynasty. They were all slaves of Manchus, and they were also the easiest to become cannon fodder on the battlefield.

After the vanguard arrived at the place where the battle was fought, Jin Li gave an order to properly bury all the dead brothers. His soldiers dug several large pits, threw the bodies into the pit, and buried them collectively.

During this process, Duoduo's personal soldiers rushed over, their faces looked very bad. Perhaps they felt that Jin Li was a little unemployed. The task of the vanguard was to investigate. Jin Li ignored his personal soldiers and did his own way. It was hard to say anything. If someone buried his brother's body, if he scolded him at this time, it would probably arouse public anger.

However, after the personal soldiers returned, they would not say good things about Jin Li. They added fuel to the fire of Jin Li wasting time to bury the bodies of their fallen brothers and encouraged the morale of the army. The personal soldiers were by Duoduo's side every day and knew what Duoduo was taboo. Sure enough, after hearing these reports, Duoduo's face became gloomy and asked the personal soldiers to urge Jin Li again, asking Jin Li to perform his duties and not delay major events.

With Duoduo's command arrow, the personal soldiers' attitudes were different. They rushed to the vanguard again and scolded Jin Li without hesitation, asking Jin Li to quickly investigate the situation along the road and ensure the safety of the army's marching.

Jin Li's lungs were about to get angry, but there was no place to vent, so he could not get angry at his personal soldiers. He had Duoduo's command arrow in his hands. If he got angry at his personal soldiers, he would get angry at Duoduo, which really angered Duoduo. According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, during wartime, the commander could make the decision to dismiss an officer, no matter what the officer was.

After the personal soldiers left, Jin Li, who was angry, asked all the soldiers to investigate except for the two hundred personal soldiers who stayed by his side.

This order aroused countless resentment. The soldiers had just buried their brother's body. Although most of these people were Han soldiers, they always sacrificed their lives on the battlefield. Many soldiers didn't know that it was their turn one day, so everyone was a little sad and in a good mood. After receiving such an order, although everyone was very tired, they still had to cheer up and go out to investigate.

Duoduo and Jin Li would not have thought that it was precisely because of their subtle relationship that they paid a heavy price. The sergeants in the vanguard of mood would not seriously investigate. After going out in groups of three or five, they complained and even vented their dissatisfaction loudly. Their main thoughts were not on the investigation of the situation at all.

The soldiers who went out to investigate were immersed in sadness and dissatisfaction, and did not pay attention to the investigation. They looked at the surrounding situations quickly. Some soldiers even looked at the situation like a sudden look. It was strange that such a reconnaissance could discover the situation. They would never know that not far ahead of them, the soldiers of Jiangning Camp had already set up a huge net, a huge net that was enough to kill their lives.

After the sergeant returned, they reported that they did not find anything abnormal. Jin Li did not think too much and ordered his personal soldiers to report the news to Duoduo behind him, indicating that the army could accelerate its advance.

All the whereabouts of the Later Jin Tartars were under the investigation of the scouts of Jiangning Camp. Forty thousand troops were ambushed. It was almost impossible to keep them completely confidential. After all, there were not a few thousand people. Hong Chengchou had already prepared. Once the Later Jin Tartars entered the coverage of the artillery battalion, the battle would start. After several rounds of artillery fire, the ambushed Jiangning Camp soldiers would launch charges from four directions in order in order to defeat the fighting spirit of the Later Jin Tartars in one fell swoop.

The vanguard of the Later Jin Tartars hadtily investigated and did not notice the surrounding situation at all. This was something that Hong Chengchou did not expect. When the scout reported, Hong Chengchou showed a rare smile on his face. The fatal negligence of the Later Jin Tartars won the best opportunity for the Jiangning Camp. The vanguard of the Later Jin Tartars was not in Hong Chengchou's eyes. After the large army of the Later Jin Tartars entered the ambush circle, they launched an attack and would be able to get the best start.

Hong Chengchou quickly issued an order, and He Renlong, Ma Xianglin, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo and others who were commanding the charge in front, don’t worry, wait for the artillery battalion according to the plan; after two rounds of artillery, launch a general attack with the sound of drums. As for Qin Rui, the guard commander of the artillery battalion, standing next to Hong Chengchou, he must have decided the time to fire the artillery according to Hong Chengchou's order.
