The Ming army in Liaodong has always been afraid of winter, because every winter they have to face a difficult choice, that is, whether to be warm or protective. Warm cotton clothes are generally thicker because they are thin and useless, and this kind of thick cotton clothes cannot be worn on the body, even if you don't count the blood to make a pair of large armor for winter on the cotton clothes, the action will look bloated and inconvenient, and the Jurchens who are agile are incomparable. The problem is that the hateful Jurchens like to make trouble in winter, they wear leather jackets and armor, warm and spirited, the two armies have not yet met, and the Ming army has lost more than half of the clothes and equipment first.

Mao Wenlong's army did not have this problem, after a long time of practice, they chose to keep warm between warmth and protection, that is to say, Mao Wenlong's army only wore cotton clothes and no armor, which was determined by their environment. In order to make up for the lack of armor, most of the troops on Phi Dao had shields, whether they were thin iron shields or thick wooden shields, they were used with one hand for protection, and the other hand held knives and guns. The people who held the guns did not hold guns with long handles to stab, but guns that fired projectiles with gunpowder, and they were all three-eyed, and there were brackets under the half-human-high shields, and the people who put the shields on the ground could release the guns to kill the enemy as soon as they crouched down.

The three-eyed firearm is very popular in the army in the north of the Ming Dynasty, although the shooting accuracy and lethality are not as good as the long-barreled bird gun, but it is better to use it easily, the northerners are impatient and cumbersome in the charging process, after the musket is released, the body of the gun is used as an iron rod, and its power is not lost to the saber when it is smashed. However, knives and bows and arrows are still the mainstream in the grassland, because the loading of firearms is too slow and the weather is restricted, and it is not easy to sound when it is windy and rainy. As long as your weapon is not capable of killing the enemy from a distance, and the enemy's fast horse is very fast on the grassland, it will come over and cut off your head in a moment, in which case the firearm is not highly valued.

Mao Wenlong attached great importance to firearms, because his troops generally operated at sea, and it was impossible for the enemy to rush over like a whirlwind on horseback, so his soldiers could slowly hide behind shields and load their guns and release their guns. Every winter, the Jurchens will come out to attack, first, they bully the Ming army and can't wear armor in winter, and second, in winter, the horse team of the Jurchens who are frozen on the water can run freely on the ice, but they can't find any cheap here in Mao Wenlong. Every winter, the Ming army on the iron mountain on the other side of Phi Island will be more vigilant, as long as they find that the Jurchen cavalry is coming, they will call the police, at this time the Dongjiang army will dig ice as a trench and then entertain the enemy with fire guns on the opposite side of the trench.

Mao Wenlong's musket team is a team of 100 people, and each hundred people are divided into four squads, and among Mao Wenlong's dozens of musket squads, two squads are equipped with long-barreled bird guns, these people are Mao Wenlong's most trusted people, and they belong to the personal soldiers to protect his safety. Hu Lao Liu is the captain of one of the squads, this time he took more than 20 people to follow Captain Mao to Phi Island to explore the truth, this is where Captain Mao's confidence lies in not being afraid of being intercepted.

Seeing that Geng Zhongming killed Mao Chenglu and wanted to keep himself, Captain Mao ignored it and only let the soldiers row to the east, and the Jurchen soldiers on the two small boats who caught up saw that Captain Mao seemed to be afraid of them, and chased after them while shouting. When Captain Mao came to the edge of Yuncong Island, he didn't mean to meet Huang Lao Liu, and he didn't stop and drove directly to the east, which made Huang Lao Liu, who was waiting on the side, very surprised. However, when Huang Lao Liu saw the two small boats chasing after him, he understood, and saw that the two small boats were gradually approaching, Huang Lao Liu immediately asked people to rush out of the island with the boat, and a row of guns immediately shot down several people, and when he saw that the other party was prepared, the people on the small boat were not stupid and immediately retreated.

Captain Mao was in a heavy mood, first asked people to light the boat on the island, and then asked Huang Lao Liu to go with him to Dachangshan Island, Huang Lao Liu saw that Captain Mao's face was not good, and knew that Phi Dao was really occupied by the Jurchens, so he wanted to ask a few words, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything. The boats on the island were chained together, and slowly the fire grew bigger and stronger, and the two boats could still see the sky-high fire when they were far away, and the whole sea was lit up by flickering and flickering.

Captain Mao looked at Yuncongdao in the firelight, and suddenly said to Captain Huang without a head: "Vice General Mao is dead, we have to be careful." ”

Mao Wenlong is also very dangerous on the Jinzhou side, the army of Fuzhou has just returned for an hour, and the Jurchen brigade gathered outside Jinzhou to eyed Jinzhou, fortunately, Mao Wenlong is very strict with the army, and no one dares to disobey the order even if his subordinates complain, otherwise there will really be some slow people who will be intercepted. The army opposite Jinzhou is not Huang Taiji's men, Huang Taiji is advancing towards Gaizhou at this time, of course, it is not Dolgon's men, Dolgon's 20,000 people are still in Gaizhou City ready to accept the Ming army's attack again, and outside Jinzhou City is Amin's blue flag troops.

After the success of Amin's sneak attack on Phi Dao, he thought that he should take the opportunity to destroy North Korea and better establish himself as the king, he knew that no matter how great his credit was, he could not compete with Huang Taiji for the throne, and self-establishment as king was the idea of retreating to the second place, which could be both self-esteem behind closed doors and not subject to the arbitrary rule of Huang Taiji. He knew that the succession of the king of Korea required the consent of the Ming court, so he first got rid of Mao Wenlong's army on Phi Dao, but he didn't know that the current king of Korea, Mr. Li Liang, did not mean to give him the Zen position, even if Wang Jingjing was already in turmoil, he did not give up resistance.

In addition to the Ming Dynasty and the Lee dynasty in Korea, there was another person who did not agree with Amin's self-establishment as king in Korea, and he not only disagreed but was angry. Huang Taiji's original arrangement was to attract Mao Wenlong to the city of Gaizhou, let him live in Fuzhou, attack Gaizhou, have shelter, food, and hope, Mao Wenlong will generally take the bait, Gaizhou 20,000 people stick to it, which can ensure that it is not lost, and can give Mao Wenlong hope. As long as you capture Gaizhou, you can cross the Liao River to Jinzhou to meet the Ming army in western Liaoning, no one can refuse this temptation, at this time Amin should send people to Jinzhou to close the door to catch thieves, and the main force of Huang Taiji will come to Mount Tai to overwhelm everything and solve it.

But I don't know why Mao Wenlong didn't take the bait completely and only sent 15,000 people to attack, and Dolgon didn't adapt to the situation, so he simply retreated and lured the enemy, so that Mao Wenlong smelled danger and shrank back. At this time, as long as Amin acted quickly and was not greedy for small gains, he immediately retreated from the coast of Gushan and went straight to Jinzhou, and the 15,000 people in Fuzhou could not escape the fate of being divided and surrounded. However, because Amin was attacking Wang Jing in Korea, he was delayed by more than 200 miles when he received the order from Huang Taiji, and he was pinned down by the Korean guerrillas for a while when passing through Anzhou, so he was one step late and did not block Mao Wenlong's army.

Looking at the golden state city Amin sighed secretly, regretting that he had not completely demolished it when he left, he wanted to know that he would throw all the bricks into the sea and set fire to everything that could be ignited around, lest these barbarians build it again. Amin saw that the Ming army occupied the choke point of Jinzhou, although the recovery was not as tall and strong as before, but it was not something that could be smashed by rushing up, plus there were three protective walls on both sides of Jinzhou City, and the Ming army was still thickening and heightening, and I don't know how much it would cost to pass. After discussing with Yue Tuo, who was inlaid with the red flag, Amin immediately reported the situation to Huang Taiji, and he thought about how to gnaw this bone on his side, and the tiger couldn't be killed when he came out of the mountain.

Huang Taiji has always wanted to kill Mao Wenlong and occupy Phi Dao, even if he tried every possible way to lure Mao Wenlong, he only sent a small number of people out, and his quick action was not easy to destroy, not to mention that he couldn't arouse Huang Taiji's interest in making a move. After hearing the news that Mao Wenlong was almost out of the nest, Huang Taiji could be said to be ecstatic, and even Lin Dan Khan didn't care much about robbing thousands of livestock and some people in the north, thinking that as long as he occupied Phi Island and killed Mao Wenlong, it would be nothing to lose a little of the Mongols who had returned to him. He first asked the Mongols who were incorporated into the Mongolian Eight Banners to save themselves, and then dispatched his troops to let Mao Wenlong drill into the trap he had set.

The best result in Huang Taiji's arrangement is to let Mao Wenlong occupy Fuzhou and fight a tug-of-war with the defenders of Gaizhou, as long as Amin occupies Jinzhou in time to form a flanking situation, the premeditated thing will be more than half successful. Out of fear that Mao Wenlong would occupy Jinzhou and hold the key points, Huang Taiji asked Amin to evacuate Jinzhou City before evacuating, who knew that Mao Wenlong's nose spirit smelled danger and rebuilt Jinzhou City on the ruins, which made Huang Taiji very angry.

Huang Taiji was angry that Amin did not return to the army in time to block Mao Wenlong, and second, he was angry that Amin whimsically wanted to destroy North Korea, Huang Taiji knew that the North Koreans were timid and afraid of things, and they were grass on the wall, as long as the coercion and inducement were not difficult to include them in the category of friends, so that North Korea and the Ming Dynasty would break off diplomatic relations. As soon as Amin attacked, it was equivalent to adding an enemy to the Jurchens, and the mountains of Korea were in danger of not being destroyed for a while, and it would be a long-term stalemate if the war continued, and it was difficult to say what would happen in the future for the time being, but now it is a situation of one less friend and one more enemy.

Huang Taiji was also angry that Dolgon in Gaizhou didn't know how to work, seeing that Mao Wenlong only came more than 10,000 people should evacuate Gaizhou, and he didn't believe that Mao Wenlong would not lead a large army to follow immediately, as long as Amin occupied Jinzhou and blocked himself by the Liao River, Mao Wenlong still had wings and could not fly. When Huang Taiji complained that one of his two brothers was greedy for cheapness, and the other only knew how to execute the order and didn't know that the workarounds were pig's heads, Jinzhou had already started fighting.

When the reconnaissance team found that the Jurchens in Tashan, Songshan and other places had withdrawn, Mangui's 20,000 cavalry and Zu Dashou's 30,000 sailors marched north in four directions. The first road is Mangui's 20,000 cavalry straight out of Ningyuan Pass to Jinzhou City, the second road infantry from the Xiaoling River to Jinzhou City and the first road to form an encirclement of Jinzhou, the third road from the sea to occupy Songshan, and sweep away the enemy of the sentry positions such as Youtun and Dalinghe Fort, and the fourth road from the Daling River ancient road to the city of Yizhou.
