468 Anshan Post Fort (3rd Shift)
Anshan Post Fort, sixty miles southwest of Liaoyang, was built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, rebuilt in the Wanli period, and was the relay station. There are many carriages and horses in the post, and the merchants are extremely prosperous. Of course, this was during the reign of the Ming Dynasty.
This Anshan post fort, around one mile two hundred and four steps, there are two gates in the southwest and northeast. With the east and west Anshan as the screen, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The outside of the city wall is covered with green bricks, and the inside is filled with loess to prevent bombardment. Wells were dug in the city to prevent water from being cut off. There is a moat around to prevent sneak attacks, and the land of projectiles can be described as impregnable.
The reason why this Anshan post fort is built like this is because it is the gateway to southern Liaoning and western Liaoning, and it guards the key points of the ancient road in southern Liaoning. If Liaoyang wants to go to the Ningjin line, it must pass through here.
Today's Anshan Post Fort has long since lost its former prosperity, and business and travel exchanges have long been cut off. However, because of the extreme importance of this place, Jianyu also sent troops to garrison it.
In May of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, there was a battle here. Mao Wenlong led his army to attack Anshan Station, forcing the slave chief Nurhachi, who was on an expedition to Mongolia at that time, to rush back overnight.
On this day, in the afternoon, in the quiet north of Anshan Post Fort, there was a faint movement. The defenders of Jianyu at the head of Anshan Yibao City were a little surprised, but when they looked at it carefully, they were taken aback.
The "bell bell" ground alarm gong sounded immediately, which surprised everyone in the fort. No one moved, just looked up at the north of the city where the voice came from.
What's going on? How can there be a police gong? Where does Daikin still have enemies here? If you really want to say that the alarm gong sounds, it should be over the south gate, right? But this is also impossible, Mang Gurtai Dabeile led the army over there, a few days ago, Haoge Belle also led the army to reinforcements, with the strength of the Guanning army, how could it be possible to hit Anshan Post Fort?
Everyone couldn't figure it out, including Babutai, the defender of Anshan Post Fort. He immediately shouted: "Go and check, what's the matter?" ”
Babutai, also surnamed Aisin Jueluo, is the ninth son of Nurhachi. Speaking of which, his ability is similar to that of Babu Hai, who has just been killed. In the original history, he was stationed in Luanzhou at the beginning of the third year of Chongzhen. As a result, when the Ming army counterattacked, he didn't even fight, and went directly to Yongping to find Amin, and then escaped from the gate together.
"Report, about 3,000 Ming troops came from the north, it seems that they are going to attack my Anshan Station!" The captives at the head of the city arrived, and shouted loudly.
When Babutai heard this, he opened his mouth wide in surprise and said, "What? Three thousand Ming troops? How can it be! ”
Stationed in Anshan Post Fort, how could the Guanning Army appear in the north of the city? You must know that Anshan Post Fort is sandwiched between East and West Anshan, and there is no road that can be bypassed nearby.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing: "It can't be the Dongjiang Ming Army, right?" ”
I think that back then, it was Babutai who was stationed at Anshan Station, and Mao Wenlong led the army to attack, but he was defeated by him. Speaking of which, one of Babutai's best records is the battle between Anshan Station and the Dongjiang Army.
"Back to the master, the slaves are watching the battle at the head of the city, dressed in tatters, like many beggars, and there are people caught in it, it seems to be the Dongjiang Ming Army."
"Let's go, let's go to the city!" Babutai became excited, and immediately strode out.
But as soon as he left, he suddenly stopped again, and asked a little suspiciously: "Coming from the north, is it from Liaoyang?" What about the Babu Sea idiot? ”
Babutai thinks that he is more capable than Babuhai, if nothing else, just say that Babuhai has just lost a battle in North Korea, but he can be stationed in Liaoyang, and he was sent to Anshan Post Fort, a place where birds don't, it's really a bit unfair! Therefore, between words, he naturally will not be polite to the Babu Sea.
"Back to the master, it seems that Liaoyang is afraid that Liaoyang will be taken by the Dongjiang Ming army!"
"What?" Babutai was taken aback when he heard this, then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a sneer: "Hehe, the Dongjiang Ming army will only sneak attack, knowing that my Anshan Post Fort is heavily defended, so I went around in a big circle to sneak attack Liaoyang!" Just that idiot, now that he has lost Liaoyang, look at how he escaped this time! ”
In the impression of Liaodong Jianyu, the Dongjiang Ming army has always only attacked secretly. As soon as the Daikin army arrived, or before it arrived, it fled early, never daring to face the enemy head-on.
Thinking so, Babutai didn't think much about it, and strode out again, and soon reached the head of the city to the north.
He looked up, and at this time, the Ming army outside the city was already closer. Just look at it, you can see that this is definitely the Dongjiang Ming Army!
I saw that most of those Ming soldiers were in rags, and they came all the way along the official road in a chaotic manner. Many of them don't even have shabby mandarin duck robes, and they are soldiers with a wooden gun. A few rode horses, galloping back and forth in front of the procession, shouting at the footmen.
The number of people is indeed a little, and the dust brought up along the way is very large, and it even covers the rear army of the Ming army, and it is not clear in a daze.
"Master, look at that!" A soldier on the side pointed to a cavalryman outside the city and said to Babutai with some surprise.
When Babutai heard this, he looked along his fingers, and immediately grinned at the corner of his mouth: "The defeated generals under his command are undoubtedly the Ming Army of the Dongjiang River!" ”
It turned out that the person he saw was the one who had come to Anshan Post Fort before, and there was also one in Dajin's wanted portrait, that is, the most powerful fake under Mao Wenlong, Mao Chengzuo!
I saw that Mao Chengzuo seemed to be very angry, and he generally drove the horse back and forth, shouting and scolding his subordinates.
"Master, look, look, the one over there!"
As soon as Babutai heard this, he looked at it according to the prompt, and immediately found an old acquaintance. This person is more familiar to him than Mao Chengzuo before, it is none other than Liu Xingzhi, who used to be an official in Dajin and finally defected to Dongjiang.
When Babutai saw it, he became a little excited. Liu Xingzuo fled Daikin with his brothers, which was a heavy blow to Dajin's prestige. He knew that the Great Khan had always wanted to arrest these Liu family brothers, but unfortunately, these Liu family brothers were rats and never came out after hiding in the Dongjiang River. It's a godsend that you dare to come here this time! As long as this battle is fought, Lao Tzu will no longer have to stay in this place!
The city wall of Anshan Post Fort is about three zhang high, there are corner platforms at the four corners, and even waist platforms in the southeast and northwest sections, and there is a moat outside the city.
The Ming army outside the city stopped when it reached a stone's throw outside the city, and they were in a mess in the whole team, which was really a mess. Just looking at the busy scene of Mao Chengzuo and Liu Xingzhi, you can see how chaotic it is.
"Come, assemble the whole army!" Babutai looked at the chaos outside the city and shouted.
When the Jianlu next to him heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly reminded: "Master, I'm afraid that there are more than 3,000 Dongjiang troops outside the city, and we only have about 600 people, this is ......."
