Soon after Mao Wenlong's men and horses retreated from Anshan, they encountered the soldiers who had left behind from Dachangshan Island to report the news, saying that the defenders stationed in Jinzhou had cut off the retreat route of the Dongjiang Army under the leadership of the rebel general Sun Degong, and that the fleet of Dachangshan Island had been transferred to the vicinity of Zhangzidao to meet according to the original plan. Mao Wenlong's current men and horses are already weak, and many veterans have died, and the recruits are not strong in combat, not to mention taking care of the wounded, so he decided to avoid his edge and turn to the east to return to the east.

At this time, Zu Dashou of the Eastern Route Army was having a headache, and only grabbed some gold, silver and grain when he entered the army a while ago, and when he saw that he could not break through Kuandian and other six forts, he decided to return the same way, who knew that luck broke out on the way and met the herd of the Jurchens. Seeing the piles of meat still alive, many soldiers drooled and begged Zu Dashou to allow them to drive these thousands of livestock back to Phi Island, because life on the island was often too bitter without meat.

Kuandian and other six forts in the east is a high and low mountainous area, and there is a section of flat land with lush water and grass in the west, which was originally the Han people and the border army to plead here, when Li Chengliang gave up the six forts, this place became the natural pasture of the Jurchens. But people are unlucky to drink water and stuff their teeth, so immortal Sun Degong cut off Mao Wenlong's return route and forced him to turn eastward, this place of Tibetan swelling happens to be too close to Mao Wenlong's retreat route, in case any cow or sheep suffocates and screams a few times will be exposed, which is too unsafe.

The herdsmen couldn't add that some people said that Zu Dashou's robber's army had already left with the looted things, so everyone slowly pryed back with their heads puffed up and covered their mouths. What they didn't expect was that the 1,000 people stationed in Sanyang Fort retreated after a day, and they collided with each other at that time, and saw another group of Ming troops coming over to know that their livestock was finished, and two old herdsmen fainted on the spot. The others ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, thinking that since the Ming army had retreated, their army must be not far away, and it would be possible to find a rescuer in time to save their livestock.

Knowing that a large number of livestock were hit behind him, Zu Dashou hurriedly returned with great joy, looking at the soldiers with excited faces, Zu Dashou asked people to slaughter dozens of heads for everyone to roast and eat, which made everyone happy. It didn't take long to make it difficult ♀ to swell, although the livestock have limbs like people, but they can't climb and can't climb over the steep mountain road, if it is food, they can also be separated and carried back, the problem is that the living animals are not good to divide a point and have to die, this is late April is close to May, a pile of dead meat is estimated to be not close to the Phi Island will stink.

Zu Dashou was only embarrassed for a day and was no longer embarrassed, because time did not allow him to be embarrassed, he had just received news that Nurhachi personally brought people to pursue him, and according to the news brought back by the sentinels, it was estimated that the Jurchen vanguard would arrive in half a day, and if he didn't make a decision, he didn't say that the four-legged livestock couldn't be taken away, and his more than 2,000 two-legged people couldn't leave. After thinking about it, the ancestor ordered to chop all these thousands of livestock to death, and if he couldn't take it away, he couldn't cheapen the enemy, and after he was hacked to death, everyone carried a leg and quickly evacuated.

Seeing the swelling on the ground, many soldiers were a little sad, not that they had bodhisattva-like compassion, but that they were reluctant to give up the meat on the ground, and even more angry people pulled open their pants and peed on the meat that they couldn't take away. Everyone reluctantly left the slaughterhouse step by step, and joined the 2,000 men and horses who were on guard outside Yongdian and Changdian and retreated across the Yalu River and went to Phi Island via Tieshan. At the moment of stepping on the ship, a general remembered the ten people who were on a surveillance mission in Lianshan Pass, and hurriedly reported to Zu Dashou, but at this time there was no choice but to let them ask for more poles.

The ten people who were in charge of monitoring the enemy at Lianshan Pass were very responsible people, and they were also very good at judging the situation, and when they saw thousands of men and horses coming towards Lianshan Pass, they immediately retreated, although they still had men and tigers squatting cannons, but they knew that even with ten of them, they could not stop thousands of people in any case. When the ten people were panting and advancing towards the Sanyang Fort, about to report to the Ming army there, they saw groups of angry Jurchen herdsmen from a distance on the way, and a group of people had to go north and hide.

In a ravine where no one was around, ten people ate some dry food and analyzed the current situation. Now Xiangdong can't go, looking at the angry looks of those herdsmen, it is estimated that they have not found anyone to vent their anger, if they are caught, it is estimated that the best result is to be directly killed, whether they will be skinned and cramped is not a matter of certainty. Even more so that you can't think about going south, although that is the way home, looking at the thousands of Jurchen soldiers with swords and guns in their hands, it is estimated that they are going south, and it is definitely not a friendly farewell but another plan, and now going south is self-defeating.

Heading north is a good place to go in the short term, but not in the long run. The north is Qinghe, Fushun, the west of Fushun is Shenyang, that is the heart of the enemy now, the enemy army is as many as a cow's hair, the east of Fushun is the place where tens of thousands of Ming soldiers are buried, and that is the place where the Ming army will have nightmares when it is mentioned. Fushun further north beyond the Tieling is the territory of the Mongols, with the current relationship between the Ming army and the Mongols, it is unlikely that they will be well received, and in general, the idea of going north cannot be considered.

If you are lucky enough to cross Lianshan Pass to the west, you may be able to return to Phi Island if you are lucky enough to go through Lianshan Pass to the west, and go all the way south to Zhenjiang to touch Zhenjiang. After eating dry food and drinking water, the idea has been decided, and with a wipe of his mouth, he picked up a knife and gun, carried the tiger squat cannon, and went westward to prepare to enter Lianshan Pass again.

The ten men walked cautiously west from the path, and after walking for two hours, they saw that they had reached the mountain bag in front of them, and who knew that when they poked their heads out of the mountain bag with joy, they found a phenomenon that shocked them. I saw a group of people dressed in fancy clothes with strangely shaped weapons lining up from Lianshan Pass, among these people there was a large sedan chair covered with yellow cloth, and a well-informed Ming army said: "This is the honor guard I have heard, it seems that the sedan chair must be a big official, not a prince but also a Baylor." ”

A veteran next to him looked at the terrain, estimated the distance again, and said: "It's just enough for the distance of one shot, and he may not be able to run back anyway. ”

The others nodded when they thought about it, so everyone put the tiger squat cannon in place, put away the gunpowder, stones, and iron eggs, and aimed at the intersection to wait for the arrival of the yellow cloth sedan chair. Estimating that the sedan chair was about to enter the predetermined firing point, a gunner trembled and lit the fuse, only to see the fuse ignite with a "whoosh" sound. Everyone covered their ears and waited for a while, and then there was a muffled sound, accompanied by the sound, an egg-sized iron egg shot out of the cannon and smashed directly into the sedan chair.

I saw that everyone on the road retreated, and many people hurriedly rushed towards the sedan chair, but more people rushed over with red eyes. In order to expand the victory, the ten Ming soldiers hurriedly wiped the residue in the muzzle of the cannon with a cloth wrapped in a whole strip, and then stuffed gunpowder, stones, and iron eggs, and after doing all this, they lit the fuse again. There was another muffled sound, but this time the sound was not as crisp as the last time, and the iron egg was stuck in the muzzle of the gun and did not fire, probably because the gunpowder was too much and the launch failed.

The energy of gunpowder not only blew up the muzzle but also broke free from the fixed iron nails, so that the entire cannon body rose into the air, and after completing the difficult action of churning forward for a few and a half weeks and turning for several weeks, it smashed on the head of a Jurchen who rushed to the front, and immediately opened a scoop of red and white brains and blood sprayed out and stained the ground. It seems that the real women must have felt that it was light to cut them with a knife, and they were ready to be caught alive and then tortured slowly.

Seeing the Jurchens' expressions of baring their teeth and wanting to eat people, a Ming army probe asked the surrounding Jurchens: "May I ask you one thing, are the people in the sedan chair okay?" ”
