The north-south Yiwulu Mountain is the boundary between the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the Liaohe Plain, and although its length reaches 1,000 kilometers, the elevation of most of the mountains is not very high. Please Baidu search () such as the main peak of the west of Beizhen Wanghai Mountain, after the Ming army estimated that the altitude is only more than 800 meters, as for the other side mountains are mostly about 3-600 meters above sea level, and a few areas even only have an altitude of 200 meters.

However, the microclimate here is suitable for plants, so the whole mountain range is covered with trees wherever there is soil. Even the cliffs are covered with weeds and shrubs half a man high. According to the speculation of some geographers, the Yiwulu Mountain is a mountain range formed by the sinking of the surrounding area, so most of the mountain is composed of granite and gneiss.

This makes Yiwulu Mountain, although not high, extremely steep. Therefore, the various mountain passes that cross the Yiwu Lu Mountain have also become the focus of contention between the Ming army and the Qing army.

Because the Yiwu Lu Mountain was too long, the Ming army divided this mountain range into four regions: northern, partial, southern, and eastern, but the places that really attracted the fierce competition between the Ming and Qing dynasties were only in the southern mountainous areas. To be more precise, it should be centered on the main peak Wanghai Mountain, with various mountain passes of more than 30 kilometers from north to south.

Yiwu Lushan used to be the land of Longxing in Liao, and Wanghaitang in Wanghai Mountain used to be the reading place of Yelubei, the eldest son of Liao Taizu, because when the weather was clear, you could directly look at the Bohai Sea from the mountain and gave the name Wanghai Mountain. In the valley to the east of Wanghai Mountain, there are also the tombs of Yelubei and the tombs of Jingzong Yeluxian.

It is because from the beginning of the Liao Dynasty, Yiwu Lu Mountain began to be built continuously, and by this time the mountain has more than 100 scenic spots. Most of these temples and pavilions were built in open spaces with a wide view of the mountain and rarely flat, and they did not need to be modified to become a fortified fortress, so they also became the focus of contention between the two armies.

Wanghai Hall, Shuangliantian, Goose Head Peak, Eighteen Feet, Nantianmen, Laoyeling Shengqing Palace, Lower Courtyard, Shengshui Bridge, Big Stone Shed, Yuquan Temple, Qing'an Temple, etc., are all places where all passages must pass. Before Yue Tuo arrived, the Ming army relied on mortars, which are special siege guns, to catch the Qing army by surprise and capture many key points in a row.

However, after Yue Tuo arrived in Beizhen to adjust his deployment, the Ming army, which had advanced too quickly, encountered a crisis. The small force sent by the Qing army first passed through the dense forest cliffs to cut off the logistics of the Ming army, and then gathered troops to capture the isolated forts one by one, and recovered more than ten forts in a while.

By the end of October, the situation of the Ming and Qing dynasties in Yiwu Lushan had almost stabilized. However, for the small units of the Qing army that were inserted behind enemy lines, it was becoming increasingly difficult to move behind the Ming positions.

Wu Lingce and Nabu are both Sauron people from Heilongjiang Tour, and it has been less than three years since they were relocated to Shenyang and assigned to the Eight Banners. Although the materials in Shenyang are much more abundant than those in the original hometown, as long as you have the money, you can buy them. But for these new Manchurians, Shenyang is still not as good as their hometown.

Although there are no products such as tobacco, alcohol and sugar in their hometowns, whether it is wild products in the mountains and forests, or fish products in Heilongjiang, they are all publicly owned. Anyone who is hungry can go hunting and fishing, and I have never heard of any restrictions. But in Shenyang, the mountains, forests and rivers are all owned by the owner, and if you want to hunt and fish, you need to run far away from Shenyang.

If you hunt and fish in other people's mountains and rivers, you will not be able to get a day's harvest at the least, or you will be sent to the government for punishment. This power of feudal lords made these Saurons who were still in primitive communism deeply puzzled. However, given the great force possessed by the Great Khan, these Saurons, who had just become the newly Manchus, chose to obey.

However, they worked as an errand for the banner lord and the Great Khan, and the little money they obtained was able to support their families at first, but after the outbreak of the financial crisis, it was difficult for them to support themselves. Those old Manchus are okay, they can endure it with some savings at home, but for the new Manchurians, this is undoubtedly their life.

However, after the Great Khan opened the palace treasury to stabilize prices and began to investigate and punish those who caused the financial crisis, the simple New Manchurians were also appeased. And the start of the war also made the new Manchurians, who were able to obtain military merits on the battlefield to improve their lives, quickly shift their mood to the mind of how to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield.

Although the Great Khan's actions after his accession to the throne caused great complaints among the ministers of the Beyles, to the Manchus at the bottom, the Great Khan was still a monarch who kept his word. In particular, he spared no effort to promote meritorious soldiers at the bottom. For example, when he entered the customs and captured the Santun camp, he was the first to ascend to the head of the city, Samhatu, who was immediately promoted by the Great Khan as a reserve, hereditary replacement, and given the name Baturu, which was passed on as a good story of the Eight Banners for a while, and many low-level Manchurians hoped to become the next Samuhatu.

Of course, for those old Manchus who occupy high positions, Huang Taiji's actions will naturally not be recognized by them. It's just that the Later Jin Dynasty was in a rising stage after all, the power of the Eight Banners and the Later Jin State was expanding rapidly, and new positions were constantly emerging, even if some low-level Manchus were promoted, they still could not threaten the interests of the old Manchurian relatives and nobles, so the contradictions between the old and new Manchus did not break out.

However, with the outbreak of the financial crisis, the Manchu-Han contradictions, which had been in the first place in the Qing Dynasty, began to gradually give way to the conflict between the vested interests of the old Manchuria and the new Manchurians, who had nothing. This is also because the Qing Dynasty has never been able to break through the blockade line set by the Ming and Mongolian tribes, and the domestic space for upward movement has gradually disappeared.

However, for Wu Lingce and Nabu, they are still too far from this level, and they are only bent on receiving rewards for their meritorious service, so they are not aware of these changes that have taken place in the country.

In the daily life of Shenyang City, these newly naturalized Sauron people seem extremely clumsy and have no common sense, but as soon as they arrive at the battlefield, especially this kind of free-for-all mountain and forest warfare, they immediately recover the skills they have grown up in the white mountains and black waters.

Although the white pole soldiers have rich experience in fighting in the southwestern mountains, the dangers they have to face in the tropical forest and the cold forest are still different. And the rich experience of the Sauron people in hunting large beasts of prey is not comparable to that of the white pole soldiers, let alone the ordinary infantry regiments that are only trained by the white pole soldiers.

When Wu Lingce and Nabu reached the Ming army's defense line through the inaccessible dense forest, they immediately discovered the Ming army's greatest weakness. That was the same as the Qing army, the Ming army only focused on the defense of the strongholds in the mountains, and neglected the escort of the passages between the strongholds.

However, before the Qing army sent these capable small troops, the Ming army never thought that the Qing army dared to climb over the dense forest cliffs and appear behind them, so they were also caught off guard.

Due to the steepness of the mountain, although the height of the mountain is not high, the passage of the mountain is winding, and it is very easy to set up ambushes and attacks at high places. There are only more than 10 people guarding the pass, which can block the attack of dozens of people. And Wu Lingce and Nabu, these new Manchurians, have been hunting since childhood, and can survive in the dense forest with an inferior bow, and now they are equipped with a good bow prepared by craftsmen, and they have the momentum of being a man and a man.

Therefore, after they passed through the Ming army's defense line, they attacked several Ming army's logistics teams transporting supplies, and even cooperated with other squads to attack small fortresses that were not well guarded. In just fifteen days, he fought eleven times and killed the Baiming army, and his squad only killed one person and wounded two.

However, despite such a good record, the hearts of Wu Lingce and Nabu and others are getting heavier and heavier. Because these Ming troops and those old Manchu population of the Ming army are completely different things, the old Manchu people often boast in front of them, although the Ming army is numerous, but it is just a group of sheep without courage, as long as the head sheep is killed, the whole flock scatters, and never dares to look back.

Therefore, in the battle with the Ming army, you don't need to care about the number of the other party, as long as you grasp where the commander of the Ming army is, rush towards the position where the general is located, as long as you scare the general away or kill it, the remaining Ming army will scatter even if it still has the advantage.

But after the fact and the Ming army fought in person, Wu Lingce, Nabu and others felt that those old Manchus were talking nonsense. When these Ming soldiers first fought each other, it was obvious that they lacked experience in such skirmishes, and that they were extremely clumsy in battle, and sometimes often made mistakes that they should not have made, resulting in casualties for themselves or their comrades.

But these soldiers did not lack courage, especially when their comrades were shot, and they even paid a few more lives to protect their wounded comrades. It was precisely because of the spirit of tenacious resistance of the Ming army that the small army of Wu Lingce had to give up the plan of total annihilation several times to prevent itself from being surrounded by the Ming army that rushed to support.

The Ming army, after several defeats in the initial attack, quickly learned some lessons, and they gathered logistics and supplies, making it difficult for the small forces of the Qing army to ambush such a large team. Lookout posts were set up at some commanding heights to convey the safety of the passage through lookout posts.

The Ming army also arranged a large number of patrol teams to patrol between the main roads, and these patrols were carried by hunting dogs, so that many Qing troops in ambush beside the road showed traces and had to give up the ambush and flee.

By October 7, Wu Lingce's small force of 35 men had not found a chance to attack for three days, and they were slowly forced to the southwest of Wanghaishan by the patrol network created by the Ming army.

Early in the morning of this day, Wu Lingce, who walked out of the crack in the mountain where he was camping, took the telescope captured from the Ming army to inspect the surrounding terrain, and found that his group was almost between Goose Head Peak and Shuanglintian.

Nabu followed and walked out, found a place to relieve his hands on the side, then pulled a few leaves to wipe his hands, walked to Wu Lingce's side and said: "I have been a little sad in the past two days, if we continue to go south, but we have to go through the Ming people's position and return to our side, should we change directions?" ”

Wu Lingce turned his head to look at the mountain roads in the other two directions, both of which were unobstructed stone mountain cliffs without any trees, and he said helplessly: "Do you plan to walk the double-line sky and the eighteen kicks in broad daylight?" If these two roads are blocked in the middle of the road, it will be the target of the Ming people. ”

Nabu frowned and looked at the two mountain roads a mile away, and it was also a big head. He was silent for a long time before he turned to Wu Lingce and said, "It's not a good idea to climb over the Goose Head Peak. I observed yesterday that there were at least hundreds of Ming troops in the stronghold, and there were still a few cannons, and the trees near the stronghold had also been cut down. In addition, we don't have much food, and if we don't choose a direction to move forward, we will run out of food for three days at most..."
