Chapter 181 The First Battle Between the Mongols and the Manchus!
"I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World" is causing a reading frenzy on Cola Novels. Haven't you read it yet?
The atmosphere inside the large tent of the Manchu Aisin Gioro clan was solemn and dignified.
Nurhaci was sitting on a tiger-skin chair, gazing intently ahead with a deep look in his eyes.
His face bore the marks of time, and his brows exuded an air of quiet authority.
"Report! Great Khan, urgent news!"
"The Khan of the Jurchen Wanyan clan, Wanyan Aguda, has sent a message of alliance."
"Temujin's Mongols simultaneously attacked both the Manchus and the Jurchen Wanyan clan!"
Suddenly, a messenger rushed into the tent, knelt before Nurhaci, and presented a letter with both hands.
Upon hearing this, Nurhaci frowned slightly, took the letter, and quickly glanced through it.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Summon all members of the Aisin Gioro clan for a meeting in the main tent!"
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
With the order given, many members of the Manchu Aisin Gioro clan quickly gathered inside the tent.
They sat or stood, discussing amongst themselves, their faces filled with worry and tension.
"The ambitions of the Mongols are now obvious; they want to annex both the Manchus and the Jurchen Wanyan clan at the same time."
"This is our common enemy and our common challenge."
"Wanyan Aguda has already extended a helping hand to us, and I believe we should respond positively and work together to fight against the Mongols."
Nurhaci stood up, looked around at the tribespeople present, and then said in a deep voice.
"Father!"
"When have we, the warriors of the Manchu Eight Banners, ever feared battle?"
"At your command, we are willing to follow you and raze the Mongol camp to the ground!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly tribesman stood up.
Nurhaci's eldest son, Chu Ying, brandished his saber and said excitedly.
Nurhaci, sitting at the head of the table, nodded slightly but didn't say much.
As Nurhaci's eldest son, Chu Ying was brave, decisive, and skilled in battle. He had made outstanding military achievements and enjoyed high prestige in the Eight Banners army.
However, he was cruel, narrow-minded, arrogant, and at odds with his brothers. In the end, Nurhaci deposed him as crown prince and executed him.
"Sir, in your opinion, how should we respond?"
Nurhaci turned to Fan Wencheng, a strategist from the Central Plains under his command, and asked.
Although most of Nurhaci's key figures were Manchus.
However, he did not practice nepotism.
As long as you have talent, he will still respect you even if you are Han Chinese.
Although Fan Wencheng was a Han Chinese, his talent was among the best even among the Manchus.
Therefore, he was under Nurhaci's command.
Fan Wencheng's status was not low.
Historically, Fan Wencheng served four emperors: Nurhaci, Huang Taiji, Shunzhi, and Kangxi, and was an important minister in the early Qing Dynasty.
He was responsible for most of the regulations established at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty and was regarded as the head of the civil officials.
"Great Khan, I think we should adopt a two-front war strategy."
"On the one hand, we dispatched elite forces to join forces with the Jurchen Wanyan clan to jointly resist the frontal attack of the Mongol army."
"On the other hand, we took advantage of the Eight Banners warriors' superior archery skills and adopted guerrilla tactics to harass and sabotage the Mongol army from behind, preventing them from coordinating their efforts."
Fan Wencheng looked at the Khan at the head of the table, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
Even though the term "Eight Banners descendants" became a derogatory term in the late Qing Dynasty, it's not a bad thing.
"Remnants of the old regime" is a synonym for those who live off the land and wait to die.
However, when he was following Nurhaci in conquering the world.
The Eight Banners Army was the strongest elite force of the Aisin Gioro clan in the early Qing Dynasty.
Under Nurhaci's leadership, the Eight Banners Army rapidly grew into a powerful force, primarily composed of cavalry.
The Eight Banners soldiers were civilians in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. They were skilled in riding and archery, brave and good at fighting, and loyal to Nurhaci.
He repeatedly achieved victories against larger Ming armies with smaller forces.
Nurhaci, the chief minister, nodded in agreement after hearing this, as the strategy took into account both the pressure of the main battlefield and the advantages of Manchu cavalry archery.
"Alright! Let's proceed according to this plan."
"Send the order: immediately reorganize the troops and prepare to engage the Mongol army!"
He glanced around at the tribespeople present and spoke loudly.
...
The howling wind and fluttering battle flags cut across the vast land, whipping up billowing yellow sand. The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, as if foreshadowing an inevitable war.
On this vast grassland, two powerful armies are ready for battle.
The Manchu Aisin Gioro army led by Nurhaci and the Mongol army led by Temujin's Four Heroes.
A thrilling battle unfolded on this vast grassland.
Nurhaci, clad in a golden robe, sat atop a tall warhorse, his piercing gaze fixed on the enemy before him.
Behind him stood rows of Manchu warriors, armed with spears and clad in leather armor.
Everyone was in high spirits and full of energy.
The Four Heroes—Borju, Muqali, Chilaun, and Borchu—were like four towering pillars, steadily supporting the morale of the Mongol army.
Behind them, the Mongolian warriors were all burly and imposing, riding their horses like moving hills.
As the two armies drew closer, the sounds of war drums, horses' hooves, and shouts mingled together, creating a deafening roar.
"Warriors, charge for our homeland!"
Nurhaci raised his long sword high and shouted loudly.

The Manchu army behind them surged towards the Mongol army like a raging flood.
"My lads, follow me to kill the enemy!"
On the other side, Muqali, the commander of this army, was not to be outdone. He brandished his scimitar and gave orders.

The moment the two armies clashed, the battlefield erupted into chaos.
The weapons clashed, producing a piercing metallic clang.
Shouts and the neighing of warhorses mingled together, and blood flowed like a river.
It forms a breathtaking symphony.
