Under the afterglow of the setting sun, at the head of the north gate of Anshan Post Fort, Cao Wenzhao stood there, looked up at the land in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I really didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to return here!" ”

"Uncle said there it was!" The young Cao Bianjiao said in high spirits, "The Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and the situation is getting better and better year by year, not to mention the present, it is Shenyang, I am afraid it will be a matter of the past two years." The nephew still wants to go to Salhu to see again, the bones of the Ming soldiers back then, someone should also collect them! ”

Hearing him say this, Cao Wenzhao was even more emotional. In the battle of Sarhu that year, he was not qualified to participate. But as a member of the Ming generals, for the events of that year, tens of thousands of Ming troops achieved the reputation of the rise of Jianyu and became their stepping stone, I have to say, it is a great pity.

Since the Wanli period, after Taichang and Tianqi, the power of Jianyu has become greater and stronger, and it has become more and more difficult to control. I don't know how many Ming soldiers died in the hands of Jianlu, and I don't know how many Ming people were killed and their families were ruined. The land of Liaodong is full of bones and blood of Han people. originally thought that Jianyu was already uncontrollable, and the regrets of the past and the blood feud could not be avenged.

However, since the emperor ascended the throne, the situation became the most critical, and the emperor swore to the sky in public, the war against Jianyu was won again and again, and before he knew it, he was already standing at the door of Liaoyang!

Cao Wenzhao was still thinking about it, but Cao Bianjiao put these aside and reminded: "Uncle, Your Majesty has a decree that we should act well." I guess Jianyu will definitely come to peep tonight, so we should be ready to prepare, right? ”

Hearing the matter, Cao Wenzhao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Yes, this matter is important, but you can't be sloppy!" ”

So, the order was passed on, and a new round of busyness began in Anshan Post Fort.

At midnight, the moon in the night sky, with the help of the stars, can faintly see people on the earth. On the official road leading from Liaoyang to Anshan Post Fort, a group of thirty or forty Jianyu scouting horses were hurrying in the dark. The war horses all wore horse cages, and the wooden stick in their mouths made the war horses unable to neigh. The horses' hooves are wrapped in thick cotton cloth. Although there are a lot of people and horses, they can be quiet, and they are obviously all veterans in the construction and exploration horses.

They were walking vigilantly, and suddenly a person returned in front, it was the scout horse who was on guard, and whispered: "The Ming army has not left the city, but in the Anshan Post Fort, the lights are bright, as if they are preparing something overnight!" “

Hearing this, the leader of the Jianyu Tanma felt a tightening heart, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”

He had to go and see it carefully in person in order to provide the necessary military information for the follow-up army.

After stealing chickens and dogs for a while, sure enough, I saw the lights in Anshan Post Fort from a distance, with flags waving and people waving buildings. Torches lit up almost the entire night sky. Even on the side of Anshan Post Castle for a long distance, there seem to be a lot of lights.

When the leader of the Jianyu Tanma saw it, he looked to both sides, and immediately ordered: "Go, go up the mountain!" ”

On the east and west sides of Anshan Post Fort, is Anshan, if you look down from the mountain, you can see the whole picture of the Ming army.

At night, the light is not good, and this is a bit of a toss when going up the mountain. But if you toss again, you have to go. The war horses were all left at the bottom of the mountain, leaving only a few people to watch, and the other Jianyu exploration horses all went up the mountain in the dark.

I don't know how many people have been hooked by the branches, their clothes have been scratched, their skin has been cut, and some people have almost stumbled and rolled down the mountain. However, this couldn't stop them, and they still insisted on climbing up, looking for a place with the best view to see the details of the Ming army.

In the dark woods, the night breeze blows, and the leaves rattle. In addition, there are some unknown insects and birds chirping, and the only thing left is the sound of Jianyu Tanma stepping on the dead branches.

Suddenly, a low hum "ah" sounded, and suddenly, a group of frightened prisoners immediately tensed and looked around vigilantly.

"Snake, it's a snake, I was bitten by a snake!" One of the Jianyu scouts whispered in panic.

Hearing this, the other Jianyu Tanma breathed a sigh of relief. And some of his companions immediately approached the man and bleed him and poisoned him. In this case, this is the only way to deal with it. As for whether this person can survive or not, it depends on luck.

These prisoners also looked down on life and death, and the rest of them continued to climb up. It wasn't long before they finally found a place with a better view. Immediately, the rest of the rest, the observation of the observation.

I saw that in the distance below the mountain, in the Anshan Post Fort, it was already late at night, and there seemed to be traces of the busy Ming army. To the south of Anshan Post Fort, a large section of the city wall collapsed. Outside the city, on both sides of the official road, one by one the Ming military camp tents were set up there, and they were almost impossible to see. According to the estimates of these captives and horses, the strength of the Ming army is at least more than 50,000.

In addition to being surprised in my heart, when I looked closely, I found that the Ming army seemed to be piled up with grain and grass. Those busy figures seem to be men in the Ming army. Bags of grain were dragged out and sprinkled on the open-air marching stoves, the three watches in the middle of the night were preparing for these, could it be that the Ming army was preparing to make a move early tomorrow morning?

When Jian Yu Tanma was watching, suddenly, he heard the sound of "Bangbangbang" sounding in his ears. These warriors were all too familiar with this sound, and understood that it was the sound of the bowstring vibrating, and suddenly, they instinctively dodged.

But even so, in the dark night, I don't know what the arrows are shooting. Immediately, the sound of "ahhhhhh

The leader of the Jianyu Tanma narrowly escaped the first wave of bows and arrows, and he could tell from his voice that the Ming army was far more numerous than his side. In the dark night, unable to respond, he immediately shouted "withdraw", and quickly fled down the mountain as soon as possible.

He didn't feel surprised that the Ming army would appear here. After all, the Ming army must guard against enemy voyeurism, and there are not many places with good sight. If it is really an elite army, it will definitely take precautions against this. It is also because of this that when they went up the mountain, they were extremely cautious. If possible, he would even send a spearhead to investigate. But the military situation is urgent, and he can't help it, only to bet that the Ming army has just arrived, and he can't do it to such an elite level. It's just a pity that he lost the bet.

The night covered the Ming army, but at the same time, it also covered the Jianyu Tanma. Therefore, the Ming army on the mountain did not pursue, and in the end, about a dozen or so Jianyu scouts returned to the foot of the mountain, and without waiting for their companions, they immediately mounted their horses and galloped away, telling the vanguard troops who had driven over overnight.
