Father-in-law Wei was not a person who killed innocents indiscriminately, so he killed Jin Deqing.

This behavior is still very logical.

When I went to Yongdian Fort for dinner, it was not the guy who smoked the pipe in the Gonggong School who made a lot of nonsense, but he was full of confidence.

Because, Yongdian Fort is only more than 20 miles away from Xiaodian, not to mention the cavalry, even the infantry can arrive after a forced march in more than an hour.

Yongdian Fort is actually the smallest fort of the six forts of Kuandian, and there is a Banla River passing through the territory, and the river eventually joins the Yalu River. According to the Jurchen Fei Gulun of the imperial guard, the upper reaches of this Banla River are the Hunhe River, which leads directly to Shenyang.

Yongdian is actually not suitable for people to live around, because they are all mountains, and there is not too much arable land, but because the terrain is more important, so the Ming army set up a fort here to garrison, and the Han people in the entire jurisdiction area are the least compared to the other five forts, about only three or four thousand people. After Li Chengliang withdrew the military and civilians from Kuandian, the Jianzhou side immediately sent troops to seize the area.

There were not many officers and soldiers brought by Gonggong Wei to attack Yongdian, only 1,400 people, including 150 cavalry, and the rest were two temporary brigades composed of the infantry of the imperial army, the officers and soldiers of the Jinzhou Guard, and a part of the Surrender and Flying Tiger Army. In addition, there are only more than 100 people left in the Changdian Imperial Guard.

The rest of the officers and men will clean up the mess of Xiaodian under the command of He Shiyi, the general of Yizhou, and will form a brigade tomorrow to attack Dadian, which is 80 miles away, under the leadership of He Shiyi.

In the plan, after the Wei Gonggong and his men and horses captured Yongdian, they drove directly from the northeast to join up with He Shiyi's troops to concentrate their forces to attack the strongest Kuandian main fort. After that, he carried the prisoners and supplies to the eastern part of Yeongjeon Fort, and returned to Uiju by water. The rest of the divisions, with the cooperation of the Chungyi Advance Force, cleared the local remnants and returned to Uiju by land.

This plan was made by Wei Xifeng in light of the actual situation of the Kuandian-Jianzhou garrison, and gave full play to the advantages of the two divisions of the imperial army.

Father-in-law Wei was also very satisfied with this plan, but he still added a battle plan. That is, if it is difficult to take a fort, the attacking force will quickly bypass this fort and go straight to the fort, without delaying time in the area.

My father-in-law called it a "frog jump" tactic.

The actual number of flag soldiers stationed in Kuandian Liubao Jianzhou is between twelve and fifteen Niulu, that is, the number of soldiers will not exceed 4,000 people, and the rest are Aha Baoyi composed of Han, Koreans and Mongols, and the combat effectiveness can be almost ignored. Among these dozen or so Niu Lu, there are only seven Niu Lu composed of pure Jurchen soldiers, and these Niu Lu belong to the three banners of Zhenghong, Zhenghuang, and Zhenglan, and they are weaker than the flag soldiers in the original control area of Jianzhou in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.

This is mainly due to the fact that although Nurhachi has obtained the Kuandian area, his old nest Heituala is still facing the Ming army in western Liaoning, that is, the Ming army group composed of Shenyang, Tieling, and Fushun. Coupled with the existence of the Yehe Division, Nurhachi had to deploy the main banner troops on the front line of western Liaoning, which made it impossible to free up enough forces to deploy on the Kuandian line.

Historically, Nurhachi was also heavily supplemented after the annexation of Ula and the conquest of Horqin, and only after the expansion into the Eight Banners did the eldest son Daishan set up a heavy army in the direction of Kuandian. Before that, he was powerless.

Wei Gonggong ran Kuandian on a whim and swept away, relying on his prophetic ability of history. Otherwise, if there were really elite soldiers and horses stationed in Jianzhou, he wouldn't dare to bring two or three thousand people to Sanguang.

Judging from the number of soldiers, the Kuandian garrison on the Jianzhou side is still stronger than the Ming Imperial Army and the Yizhou Ming Army, but one side is prepared, the other side is unprepared, one side concentrates on attacking, and the other side is scattered to defend. What's more, the Yalu River flows through the entire Kuandian region, and the imperial army fighting on land can be supported by the Jianghai Navy at any time, and the captured prisoners can also be transported to Yizhou from both land and water at the same time, which can free up the Ming army to attack with all its might. From the very beginning, the strength of the enemy and the actual battle situation were tilted in favor of the Ming army.

Wei Gonggong personally led his troops to attack Yongdian, because Yongdian can be used as a "wharf", and intelligence shows that Yongdian is stationed in pure Jurchen banner soldiers, and there are two and a half Niu Lu garrisons, which makes Wei Gonggong, who has not had a personal record since the northward march, feel excited, and want to use this battle to show the whole army that he Wei Gonggong is not only able to determine the country and the country, but also can capture the head of the general in the six armies.

However, there have been some minor changes.

When the Ming Imperial Army marched towards Yongdian Fort, they encountered a Jurchen village along the way. Without waiting for the imperial army to send people to surround it, two horses in the stockade rushed out and went in the direction of Yongdian, and the cavalry in front of them did not catch up.

Needless to say, the news must have leaked, and the sneak attack can't be stolen.

Hu Quan, who temporarily commanded a brigade of officers and soldiers, was not confident in whether Yongdian would be captured as originally planned, and he believed that Yongdian had two and a half Jurchen cattle in Yongdian, and according to the Jurchen organization method, 300 people were one Niu Lu. Although there may be only dozens of actual soldiers fighting a Niu Lu in peacetime, but in the face of an emergency, all the men of Niu Lu will go into battle. In this way, plus there are still some Han Aha in Yongdian Fort, if the defenders are urgently recruited, the force that can be used for defense may be no less than a thousand.

On the Imperial Army's side, together with the cavalry and auxiliary Imperial Guards, there were less than 1,400 people, and the situation was really not optimistic when they could not attack and severely damage the defenders' vital forces and cause the defenders to collapse.

Of course, Hu Quan did not think that the imperial army would not be able to take Yongdian Fort, but he was worried that the casualties would be too large. Once the casualties are too large, the follow-up combat missions may be somewhat exhausted, and then the entire northward expansion plan will definitely be affected.

Hu Quan's worries, Wei Gonggong is not unaware, on the contrary, he knows very well.

The Jurchens were all soldiers, and when the war was tense, they had to be conscripted over the age of ten and under the age of seventy. In the history of his previous life, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had two national requisitions, one was the Battle of Songshan and the other was the Battle of Shanhaiguan. In those two wars, the so-called "True Manchuria" was almost overwhelming, so that there were almost no men in Shengjing in the rear.

This is a battle that determines the fortunes of the country, and for the Yongdian Jurchen generals, it is also a battle of life and death, so it is certain that the Yongdian defenders will definitely be requisitioned by the whole people after receiving the news, and in that case, the degree of battle will definitely be much more fierce than that of Changdian and Xiaodian.

No matter what kind of battle, no matter how well equipped, casualties are inevitable. Of course, Gonggong Wei didn't want too many casualties among the soldiers of the imperial army, and he regretted a little that he didn't bring more people when he went north to offer silver. It's just that it's useless to regret it now, and it's even more impossible to temporarily change the plan and transfer all of Xiao Dian's He Shiyi troops to attack Yongdian.

Although the distance is not too long, time is life, and time is money. Wei Gonggong could not delay too long in Kuandian, and the advice given by Wei Xifeng's staff was to fully book the mission and withdraw the troops within 20 days. In more than 20 days, the imperial army will face a blow from the main force of the state in the direction of Heituala.

"There are no absolutes in everything, pass on the order, and the whole army will continue to march towards Yongdian."

Gonggong Wei did not stop, he felt that this accident was not necessarily all unfavorable, at least it could temper the fighting spirit of the imperial officers and soldiers in the face of the enemy, and test the combat effectiveness. It is not a good thing to always fight a smooth battle, and sometimes fighting a dozen bad battles is very important for the building of an army.

"Who... Who is the defender of Yongdian? Gonggong Wei took a whip on his horse and pointed to the imperial guards who were sitting on the ground with weapons not far away.

"Back to the old man, Yongdian Fort is stationed in our two and a half bulls of the red flag, and Jiala's forehead is really the guard Dar Dai in front of the Khan's tent... Amma of Dardai is the five ministers of our Jurchens, Anferyangu. ”

After making meritorious achievements in capturing Xiao Dian and witnessing Xiao Dian Jia La'e Zhenjin Deqing being killed by the Ming Dynasty official in front of him, Fei Gulun was really afraid of this young Ming Dynasty official from the bottom of his heart.

"Master" is the name of the Jurchens for the noble, because Fei Gulun really doesn't know what kind of official this young man is in the Ming Dynasty.

"Anferjangu?"

Hearing this name, Gonggong Wei was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed, because this An Feiyangu was killed by him in Straw Hat Mountain with Hong Tai.

"Whoever goes, you go and tell that Dardai to surrender to us with his men, and if he refuses, let him go to see him."
