With the gradual retreat of the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, one by one deep pits reappeared in front of people's eyes, and the originally smooth road surface seemed to be full of large and small eyes. Many soldiers took turns digging and transporting earth, and those who couldn't intervene led their horses to the vicinity of Nanguan to wait for orders. The latest free chapter of this book can be found in ≠ When it was near, Mao Chenglu hurriedly walked into Mao Wenlong's tent, and saw Mao Wenlong sitting in the tent with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was recuperating, Mao Chenglu said: "Father, everything is ready." ”

Mao Wenlong opened his eyes and looked at the slightly darkened sky outside, and said: "Let the soldiers who dig the pit get on the boat immediately, eat dry food on the boat and then rest, and the others make a fire to cook and eat, and by the way, light a torch to light a fire, and make a posture of going to work all night." After eating, they got on the boat in turn, and all the horses and horses had to get on the boat and set off within an hour, but I don't know what the situation is on Changshan Island? ”

Mao Chenglu said: "Rest assured, my father has seen nothing unusual a few days ago, and he has already sent people to Changshan Island to set up a camp tent at the beginning, so that the soldiers can rest at ease as soon as they arrive there." There are also two boats left on the beach outside the city of Golden State to monitor the defenders of Golden State, and we will get the news as soon as there is any wind and grass. ”

The weather was still a little cool on the April night, and in the cool breeze the soldiers boarded the ships one after another, leaving only countless torches and fires crackling and burning in the cool breeze. Under the light of the fire, dozens of big ships left Nanguan at night and headed for Dachangshan Island, more than 100 miles away.

Due to the slow movement of the ships at night, it was almost dawn when the fleet full of men and horses docked at Dachangshan Island. The soldiers, who had been bumped by the sea and had been bumped all night, rubbed their sour bodies, and successively took their horses and horses up to the island, and before they had time to rest more, 3,000 of them received orders to prepare for battle.

Facts have proved that the Hongzui Fort, which has not had many troops at a time with 3,000 men, is a bit of a fuss, and there is hardly any pause from the encirclement to the entry of the fort after landing on Dachangshan Island. Originally, there were not many defenders here, but as soon as they saw that they were surrounded by thousands of people, they immediately opened the door and surrendered. Mao Wenlong divided the 10,000 men into ten teams, and let one of the ten captured sentry spies lead the way with a team, and he himself led 5,000 people to the rear, and the remaining 5,000 people marched separately. Because someone led the way all the way smoothly, when he saw the Jurchen soldiers, he cut them down, and robbed the ordinary Jurchens whether they were farming or grazing, so they came to the city of Fuzhou, which was heavily defended.

Although the city walls of Fuzhou were strong and difficult to attack, Mao Wenlong attacked it in less than a day, because the city gate was opened by the unbearable Han people, and the combat effectiveness of the two thousand Jurchen soldiers stationed inside was not strong. After attacking Fuzhou, Mao Wenlong took a closer look, and the 10,000 soldiers under his command became 15,000, because there were 5,000 locals who couldn't stand the persecution of the Jurchens and spontaneously asked to join the Dongjiang Army.

To tell the truth, Nurhachi still wants to envelop the Han people here, divide the land for them, and don't harass and extort much, and the common people actually don't have any ideas to just want to be safe, so they have been safe and sound. But a while ago, Nurhachi didn't know who he heard that there were many Han people in Liaodong who wanted to leave at all times in the Ming Dynasty, so in a fit of anger, he asked Da Bel Daishan to lead troops to clean up. Daishan sent people to check on each house, and if there was not enough food in any family's home, it was determined that the family was suspected of wanting to run at any time, and the light was whipped or the knife was cut to the heart.

The people were unbearable to be oppressed, at this time, as soon as they saw the Dongjiang army besieging the city, they immediately opened the door to revolt, and the two thousand defenders did not have time to suppress Mao Wenlong, so they rushed in with men and horses and swords, and Fuzhou was immediately captured, and then took advantage of the high morale to kill all the way to the north.

When attacking a strong city, Mao Wenlong did not set up a ladder to attack, he generally let a small number of people rob and kill people under the city first, and ambushed the large army outside the city, and when he saw that the enemy in the city could not help but go out of the city to attack, he made a panic and fled, and when the enemy army out of the city entered the ambush circle, he surrounded and then killed and destroyed the enemy's living force.

In terms of fighting, Mao Wenlong is still a person who is good at learning, when Nuerhachi attacked the city guarded by the Ming army, he generally sent spies into the city first and waited for opportunities, and when the time came, he took advantage of the chaos to open the city, Mao Wenlong had a good example and came out of the blue, he sent a fine work in Liaodong and southern Liaoning early in the morning, and these fine works saw that the defenders of the city immediately opened the city to meet the Dongjiang army, and used this method to connect Yongning, Gaizhou, Yaozhou, and Haizhou to Anshan City.

In addition, Zu Dashou, the Eastern Route Army who set out from Phi Island and went straight out of Sinuiju through Tieshan, Zu Dashou only brought 5,000 people, and these 5,000 people were the old subordinates of the 5,000 Marine Battalion of the 5,000 Sailors he brought from Ningyuan. During the training last year, the Marine Battalion and the Mountain Infantry Battalion both practiced the infantry battle formation, especially the Mandarin Duck Formation handed down by Qi Jiguang was proficient in them, so they did not ride all the mountain roads this time, just to attack the enemy's shortcomings with their own strengths.

Zu Dashou's purpose this time is different from Mao Wenlong, the main purpose of Mao Wenlong's Western Route Army is to destroy the enemy, and to make a big noise to make the Northern Expedition of Nurhachi retreat, touching the stubble with swords and guns in his hands and war horses under his body. However, even if it is an easy job, it is not very easy, and in order to enter the Jurchens' lair, you must first take the Six Forts.

At the beginning of Wanli, the Liaodong garrison was stationed in Gushan, Dangerous Mountain, Yanjiang, Xin'an and other border forts to defend the vast area north of Fushun and south of Qinghe, and appointed two generals to lead the troops to garrison in Gushan and Dangerous Mountain. Because the terrain was too far north, and at the same time had to face the Mongols in the north and the Jurchens in the east, it didn't take long for the Ming army to suffer heavy casualties from the enemy on both sides.

At that time, Li Chengliang was a discerning person, and he found that starting from Sanyang, which was south of the Qinghe River and about two hundred miles east of Tianshui Station, to Sinuiju on the edge of the Yalu River, the land was not to be garrisoned ♀ by the Ming army, not to mention the fertile land and the terrain in front of him was dangerous, and building a fortress at the dangerous place in front could hold it to prevent the Jurchens from making trouble, so Li Chengliang took a fancy to this place at a glance. The more critical point is that after moving the troops to the south, the Ming army can get out of the unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides, so that the Mongols and Jurchens can clash with each other, and the Ming army can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Of course, Li Chengliang's vision is only effective in looking at the type of land, and his vision is not very good in terms of people, for example, he has lost his eyes on the issue of Nurhachi. He always thought that Nurhachi was an obedient person and would not rebel, but only a few months after his death, Nurhachi announced that the Seven Hatreds had turned against Ming, but no one is perfect, tigers can also nap, immortals will also get drunk, and it is understandable to occasionally wander compared with Li Chengliang's great military exploits.

At the suggestion of Li Chengliang, the imperial court built six forts in the south of Sanyang, such as the new fort of the dangerous mountain, the new fort, the wide fort, the big fort, the Yongdian fort and the long fort, which were built so that the Ming army could solve the problem of food and clothing without relying on the supply of the imperial court, and later attracted tens of thousands of border people to come here to carry out development.

But everything is changing, Li Chengliang in his later years, he found that Nurhachi, who had been ignoring him, had grown unconsciously, and this strong force even felt very powerless to himself, in order to avoid the soldiers and civilians of Liubao being killed by the Jurchens after his death, he forcibly evacuated everyone from Liubao. There is no point in arguing about whether what he did was right or wrong now, but it made it difficult for Zu Dashou, because he now had to take the Six Forts before he could penetrate into the heart of the Jurchens, and then stab Nurhachi several times in it to make him suffer.

Fighting a war is a strength work but also a technical job, if you don't use your brains to do it, even if you win, your own losses will be great, now the defenders of the six forts themselves are not much, but the terrain they occupy is dangerous, if they attack strongly, it is not in line with the emperor's order not to attack more than 1,000 men and horses.
