Chapter 001-Infamy for Ten Thousand Lives, Slaughterer for a Lifetime, New Book, Evaluation!
Tianqi three years, winter, Liaodong, Zhenyuan Castle.
"Bah!"
Huang Taiji's eyes were filled with endless gloom as he stared at the military fortress not far away.
"The news must have been leaked beforehand. Otherwise, how could the Ming army be on guard! Men, kill all the Ming Dynasty soldiers who are leading the way!”
Huang Taiji shouted angrily.
Liaodong's Guangning Guard's 16 forts had not been breached yet, but he had already lost 5,000 to 6,000 troops.
Moreover, the supplies were only enough for three days. If he could not break through the three fortresses at the edge of Liaohe River within three days, he would probably lose more than five to six thousand people.
The 20,000-strong army that had come with them would most likely die here.
However, when he thought about how he would not only have to face his father's punishment when he went back, but he would also have to face his second brother's suppression on behalf of him, there was a lump of anger in his chest that could not be vented.
"Duan Hu, I, Huang Taiji, will remember today's humiliation!”
After saying that, Huang Taiji looked at the three forts in the distance.
"Retreat!"
A mile away, a thick layer of blood scab had solidified on the rammed earth wall of the fortress.
Under the freezing of the ice and snow, it was extremely dazzling to see on the city wall.
The castle was filled with arrows.
Occasionally, there were corpses that had not been moved down.
"Qianhu, Qianhu!"
"Retreat, retreat!"
A messenger jumped down from the watchtower of the castle with an excited smile on his face.
His dry lips were still dripping with blood.
"Retreat!"
"The enemy retreated?"
The soldiers who were busy on the city wall hurriedly raised their heads.
In the middle of the city wall, a military officer stood there with a cold expression.
He was dressed in black armor and held a cold saber in his hand.
Duan Hu turned to look at the messenger who was running over.
"Qianhu, the enemy has begun to retreat! We won, we won!"
The messenger said excitedly.
Duan Hu grinned, revealing a smile that could not be considered a smile.
"Inform the other two forts to hold their ground and not pursue!”Duan Hu said softly.
"Yes, sir!"
The messenger hurriedly nodded in agreement.
No one dared to disobey Duan Hu's orders.
It wasn't that he didn't dare, but he trusted her.
Without Duan Hu, the sixteen military forts of Guangning Wei and the tens of thousands of military households around them would have been slaughtered by Hou Jin.
A month ago, Duan Hu said that Hou Jin would take advantage of the snow to attack Guangning Guards.
At that time, everyone did not believe it, but Duan Hu moved all the surrounding military households into the military fortress.
Moreover, the forces of the Sixteen Fortresses were gathered in the northernmost Zhenyuan, Zhenan, and Zhenjing Fortresses.
More than 2,000 soldiers were gathered to defend the three forts.
This was why the 20,000 soldiers behind them did not take a step forward.
However, although they won, the enemy soldiers retreated.
However, the price they paid was also heavy.
More than half of the 2,000 soldiers had been killed or injured, and the civilians who had helped defend the city had also suffered more than 1,000 casualties.
All of this was because the Guangning Guards knew that the rear army was invading the border and refused to send reinforcements because they were defending the important place.
Duan Hu turned to look in the direction of Guangning Guards.
Big Ming!
There were external reasons for its demise, but more importantly, the current Great Ming was no longer the Great Ming where the Son of Heaven guarded the country and the King died for the country.
Since that was the case, why did they let the alien races occupy such a great land?
Ever since the day he transmigrated, he had made up his mind.
He wanted to kill his way out of the world and create peace for all eternity!

Shuntian Prefecture, Shangjing City.
White snow covered the entire capital.
Although it was already late at night, the entire capital was still brightly lit.
The brothels and pleasure boats were singing and dancing, and the official residences were singing and dancing every night.
In the Imperial Palace of Shangjing City, Emperor Tianqi was currently sitting in the warm pavilion and watching a shadow play.
Accompanying them were the Saint Madam Ke Yinyue, Empress Kang Li, Empress Zhang Yan, and many other concubines.
This was originally the place where the emperors and cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty discussed politics, but now it had become a stage for Emperor Tianqi to watch shadow plays.
The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the troupe's musical instruments.
A red-robed eunuch hurried in and prostrated himself in front of the door.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has sent an urgent report from Liaodong.”
