Chapter 257: Oxtail Mountain!

"San'er, this, this snow is really falling, and it's still so big? This ......"

Early the next morning, before the sky was bright, Yu Yao got up to check the snow, but found that Li Chunlai was earlier than her.

Moreover, at this time, the snow has changed from last night's fine snow to goose feather-like snow, and the temperature seems to be much colder all of a sudden, and the whole world is frozen.

Li Chunlai had already recovered at this time, looked at Yu Yao's beautiful eyes with a smile and said, "Sister, can we still count our gambling contract last night?" ”

"......"

Yu Yaoqiao's face turned red.

The reason why she got up so early was because she was worried that Li Chunlai had something on her mind and had to keep an eye on it.

But at this time, Li Chunlai didn't look like she had something to do, she was busy finding a lame excuse to help Li Chunlai make breakfast, and ran away in a hurry.

Watching Yu Yao twist Xiao Man's waist and leave quickly, Li Chunlai couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Last night, Li Chunlai almost didn't sleep all night, but even if he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, he really couldn't find more detailed information about Salhu.

He only knew that the reason why Lao Nu and Hou Jin won a great victory in Salhu was because they followed a very famous strategy that has been passed down to later generations!

'Ren Er came a few ways, I only went all the way!' ’

Based on the words of this strategy alone, it is not difficult to guess that the old slave and the Houjin, this battle is mainly a time difference.

After all, Daming's combat strategy at this time is completely like a 'clear card', how can it be possible to block Houjin's powerful intelligence system?

And the four-way army seems to be violent, but in terms of actual strength, I am afraid that it is really not comparable to the main force of Houjin at this time.

The slogans shouted by the Ming army in this battle shook the sky, and it was more than 100,000 and 200,000, and even 4.5 million troops.

However, there is too much water in it!

Juniper, Ma Lin, and Li Rubai's three roads, Li Chunlai doesn't know the details, and he doesn't comment, as a member of Liu Wei's Southern Route Army, Li Chunlai seems to be the situation of the Menqing Southern Route Army.

At this time, the sum of all the fighting forces of the Southern Route Army will never exceed 20,000!

This is still the case that even he Li Chunlai is counted.

And what about the main force of Houjin?

During the military discussion, Li Chunlai once heard Liu Wei mention it, and Houjin gathered at least 60,000 or 70,000 Dingkou at this time, and the strength of the fighting force in it was probably not less than 50,000 people!

50,000 people.

What is this concept?

Even if he doesn't know the details of Juniper's side at this time, Li Chunlai can responsibly say that the Juniper Department will never exceed 50,000 people!

Because there are a number of generals under his command.

Although Juniper has three or four general soldiers and several deputy generals on his side, it looks very bluffing, but how many years have it been, when has the Ming army been full?

On Juniper's side, if there are 30,000 soldiers, then it will already burn high incense.

If there are seven or eight thousand elite families who can really fight, then I am afraid that the great grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang will open his eyes!

Strong on the outside!

Then there's the issue of time lag.

The four-way army, with different terrain and uneven personnel, how can it be possible to go hand in hand?

At least at this stage, with Li Chunlai's identity, how could he solve the problem that Yang Hao and his bigwigs couldn't solve?

Li Chunlai also wanted to open at this time, it was enough to grasp what he could grasp, and he wanted to use a bird for so much?

……

After a brief breakfast, Liu Wei quickly convened a meeting of the generals and soldiers.

Perhaps because of the very good fight of 'hunting game', Li Chunlai was once again qualified to attend.

Obviously, most people have already guessed the content of this military meeting.

- It is precisely the question of marching after snowfall.

But what made Li Chunlai, including everyone, a little confused-

Rao is such weather, Liu Wei did not be gracious, and still let the army continue to move forward, and the thunder overwhelmed the generals.

In the end, the order to Li Chunlai's side was also very ruthless, and he tried to get as much game as possible!

Li Chunlai didn't understand Liu Ling's intentions at first, but as soon as he came out of Liu Ling's big tent, he just wanted to understand it.

In the current state, even if it doesn't snow in the mountains, how many miles can the team move forward in a day?

Perhaps this snow has a great impact on Juniper and their main forces on the three routes, but on the side of the southern route army, there are actually very few.

And, to a large extent, it may be easier to march into the mountains on a snowy day like this than not to snow at all.

If it weren't snowing, there would be so many people in the army, and the fallen leaves alone would be annoying to death, and it wouldn't be much different from a natural trap.

At this time, it is snowing, and the brothers who are on the road in front only need to suffer a little, and the people behind are finished walking on the 'road'.

……

On this difficult march in the mountains, two days passed in a hurry, and the time came to February 23, the 47th year of Wanli.

At this time, the news finally came from the Chinese army in Shenyang, and it was determined that the time to start was February 25!

After Li Chunlai heard the news, his heart was already as calm as an ancient well.

Want to yarn?

It's not easy to do a good job in front of you, just be vigilant!

Because as the hunting operation continued to deepen, Li Chunlai's department was almost able to withstand half the night at this time.

And in the past few days, Li Chunlai has not only become more and more proficient in archery and hunting skills, but also more and more familiar with those Goryeo sticks.

Including Mao Wenlong, they all adapted to this rhythm at this time, and they didn't dare to play any tricks.

On the 24th, the army finally came to the line of Dongjiajiang (later Jilin Hunjiang), and walked along the frozen river, and the road was finally a little better.

On the 25th, the advance of the army had already entered the control of Houjin, but there was still some distance from Houjin's outpost.

To put it bluntly, although Houjin at this time is very fierce, rampant and tyrannical, in their bones, their self-confidence has not really been established, and they are still very afraid of the majesty of the kingdom of the Great Tomorrow.

As a result, the areas under their actual control, whether they are strongholds or checkpoints, are all built according to risks.

Even if there are many more comfortable places around, you can only give up.

And when he arrived in the control area of Houjin, Mao Wenlong finally couldn't sit still, and secretly came over at night to discuss with Li Chunlai, to 'in the name of hunting', to 'touch a fish', and take a Houjin sentry card!

The main reason is that Mao Wenlong is very familiar with this side, and there are many natives here.

Moreover, the information transmitted from various channels of the army shows that the main force of Houjin has shrunk to the front line of Laozhai.

For example, in the old forest of the mountains and mountains of South Road, it is impossible to have many Tartars.

It just so happens that there is no harm in taking this opportunity to get a good start for the army, so that you can really gain a foothold and be in an invincible position first.

Li Chunlai didn't think about it for a long time, and then agreed to Mao Wenlong's proposal!

Decide to act tonight!

But the first half of the night or the second half of the night, when the time comes, depending on the specific weather.

Mainly because of the snow these days, the snow can reflect the moonlight at night, it is not too dark, and the visibility is still very good.

However, this also made Li Chunlai secretly slander.

In that time and space, I am afraid that there will be no 'thorns' like Mao Wenlong and himself under Liu Wei.

Liu Ling's strategy for governing the military, Li Chunlai was already very familiar with it at this time, and it was still relatively strict.

The reason why he Li Sanye was able to get this kind of 'special treatment' was also step by step, countless brothers fought hard against the cold and sold their lives!

……

The clock was fast approaching evening.

As Li Chunlai expected, although there were still fine snow foams floating tonight, the moonlight was good, and the visibility was okay.

At this time, the brigade had completely entered the control area of Houjin, and camped along the two banks of the Dongjia River.

And the steepest mountain in the depths of the front has a very vivid name, called 'Oxtail Mountain'.

At this time, looking at the past through the faint moonlight, the mountains are like a cow pouting its butt and tail.

On Niuwei Mountain, there is a 'Niuwei Village', which is a key village in this area of Houjin.

When the state was established, it had fought with hostile tribes for several years, and in recent years, it has really stabilized this oxtail village.

Because whoever occupies the Niuwei Village is stable, when it is summer, he can go down the Dongjia River and trade with the Han people.

Speaking of which, we must talk about the Kuandian Forts!

The founder of the Kuandian Fort is none other than the famous Li Chengliang!

At the beginning, the main role of the Kuandian Forts was to guard against Houjin, to be precise, to guard against the old slave's Jianzhou Department.

Because at that time, Li Chengliang felt that his godson didn't listen to greetings and couldn't hold it anymore.

But later, I don't know what ecstasy soup the old slave poured into Li Chengliang, and the Kuandian Fort changed from defense to bazaar, and began to open a market with Houjin to provide convenience for Houjin, and a large number of immigrants.

Later, Li Chengliang really felt that the old slave couldn't hold it anymore, so he ordered the relocation and emigration, turning the Kuandian Fortress into a defensive fortress.

But the Han people who have already established themselves here, have put in such a lot of effort, and have just built their own homes, and they have not yet recovered their returns, how can they listen to them so much?

This is undoubtedly another history of blood and tears!

I'm afraid that it is precisely because of Li Chengliang's 'mysterious operation' that the old slave and the Houjin will develop so fast, gradually overpowering the other Jurchen tribes and becoming the current freak!

Thinking of this, Li Chunlai was powerless to vomit.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

For example, Qi Dashuai, who wrote the "New Book of Ji Xiao".

But the predecessors dug the pit, or dug the big pit, digging the bottomless pit of the mysterious god, and the descendants ......

For example, Mr. Li, who has reported a great victory ten times......

……

After dinner, Li Chunlai had just found Mao Wenlong, Man Gui, Hong Bin, Zhang Huang and others to hold a small military meeting, but Liu Wei suddenly summoned many generals and officials, including Li Chunlai, to hold a large military meeting.

This time, Li Chunlai's small military discussion can only be released first.

came to Liu Ling, listened carefully for a while, and Li Chunlai also understood what Liu Wei meant.

When the front is outside the Houjin control area, the army can move along the river, but when entering the Houjin control area, even if it can still walk along the river, it must be more careful and put in more effort.

It's not complicated.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

The river must be a low point in the mountains, and it is estimated that it is not the lowest point.

If the army rashly walked to the lowest point of this kind of ice, if the Houjin side played some tricks, how could it be a joke?

Li Chunlai was also deeply impressed after listening to it.

Although he and Liu Wei are only 'nodding friends', Liu Ling is just paving the way for future generations, and he is busy mentioning his own 'potential stocks'.

However, it is really with Liu Ling's work, Li Chunlai understands that a veteran like Liu Ling, who has been famous for many years, is by no means a person who has lost his name.

After the military meeting, they returned to their camp, and with Mao Wenlong, the 'head snake', they had already negotiated a big framework.

On a hill four or five miles away on the west side of Niuwei Mountain, Mao Wenlong's men had already discovered the location of a Houjin sentry post, the number of people would not exceed thirty, and the surrounding terrain was complex but not precipitous, which was very suitable as a target for action.

Now, just wait for Li Chunlai to come back and make this decision!
