Sandpiper and mussel fight each other 17

(Today's leader presided over the meeting, and the meeting was held until he just released people home, hey!) )

Due to the popular desires, coupled with the celebrity effect of Wang Chengbin, Wang Huaiqing and others, the siege war was simplified into a game, except for Shanhaiguan, there was no city in the whole of North China that could stop the footsteps of the Mongolian army, and finally because Wu Peifu dug too many trenches, which made the Mongolian army stop, so that Wu Peifu had a respite for Timur's aggressiveness.

Shanhaiguan, also known as "Yuguan", is located 15 kilometers northeast of Qinhuangdao City, bringing together the essence of the ancient Great Wall of China, one of the northeast passes of the Ming Great Wall, before 1990 was considered the starting point of the eastern end of the Ming Great Wall, and was known as "the first pass in the world". It echoes with Jiayuguan, which is thousands of miles away, and is famous all over the world. Shanhaiguan City, with a circumference of about 4 kilometers, is connected with the Great Wall, takes the city as the pass, the city is 14 meters high, 7 meters thick, there are four main city gates, a variety of defense buildings. Relying on the strong city wall of Shanhaiguan, Zhao Yun didn't want to force Wu Peifu too quickly, in case the two families started to demolish this "cultural relic" together, what if it was passed on to future generations in the future?

Therefore, Zhao Yun had some scruples and ordered to "set up camp".

The morale offensive of this large army ceased, but the skirmishes never stopped, mainly because the Mongol offensive was too fierce before, and the direct troops loyal to Wu Peifu in many places were only scattered and not completely wiped out. Although most of these direct army routs saw that the shape was wrong, and asked their old acquaintances who had surrendered to the Mongol army to surrender to the Mongol army one after another, there were also some die-hard people who led small forces to attack and harass the later supply of the Mongol army.

"What a hassle!" Dropping the letter in his hand, Zhao Yun was upset for a while, in recent days, the guerrilla style of the opponent's "sparrow warfare" has caused a lot of losses to those direct troops who surrendered, although the loss of personnel is not much, but a granary was burned by the other party, which made Zhao Yun, who has always regarded food as gold, distressed.

"Young master, I found the relevant information!" Shao Lao Er hurriedly ran in from outside the tent. Flipping through a volume of ancient books, Shao Lao Er said, "

The description of Qinhuangdao in the "Linyu County Chronicles" in the fourth year of Guangxu is more and more detailed: "Qinwang Island, twenty-five miles away from the southwest of the city, the mountain range turns from east to west, inserts into the sea, crosses the water surface, looks like a lying silkworm in the distance, the Shuikou Mountain of Haiyang Town, there is Guanyin Temple. ”

Shanhaiguan is the northeast starting point of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, with 26 kilometers of the Great Wall and more than 10 kilometers east of Qinhuangdao. According to historical records, Shanhaiguan has a history of more than 600 years since it was built in 1381 and has been an important military town in China since ancient times. The city of Shanhaiguan, with a circumference of about 4 kilometers, is a small city, and the whole city is connected to the Great Wall, with the city as the pass. The castle is 14 meters high and 7 meters thick. Qin Liangyu, a female general in the late Ming Dynasty, once guarded Shanhaiguan. ”

"Guangxu four years?" Looking at the traditional characters in the book, as well as the map like a landscape painting, Zhao Yun was speechless for a while, if you use this to command the war, it is relatively more reliable to bring the high-altitude holographic map of the camp, although the high-altitude holographic map shows a range of only ten miles, but it is much stronger than looking at these landscape paintings with unbalanced proportions.

From the high-altitude holographic map, looking at the entire Qinhuangdao position opposite the Mongolian army, it has been dug into "terraces" by Wu Peifu's army.

Once the Mongol outpost entered the front line of the Qinhuangdao position, Wu Peifu's army did not hesitate to shoot down these cavalrymen in charge of reconnaissance with bullets, often a rain of bullets.

"Tut-tut! Fight Huaxia's own people so desperately, so don't you see these people fighting hard for those old hairies? In the face of Wu Peifu's anxious roaring psychology, Zhao Yun was not in a hurry to fight him, "Sample, consume with me!" "Zhao Yun has never been interested in killing Huaxia's own people, and this Wu Peifu has no bad deeds before, so Zhao Yun doesn't want to kill him.

So, in order to wait for Wu Peifu to jump out by himself, and on the other hand, in order to stabilize the rear and clean up the annoying fleas that had not been completely eliminated before, the Mongol army, except for Timur's descendants of 20,000 horses and horses on the periphery of the Qinhuangdao position, camped and camped, the rest were organized into small units and chased and killed these routs in all directions.

On the same day that Zhao Yun and Timur led the army to Qinhuangdao, Wu Peifu set aside the main force and was leading his descendants, a reorganized division, a full 8,000 people, actively preparing for war under the Shanhai Pass. And the main force led by Wu Peifu is staring at the head of Shanhaiguan, after all, compared with Zhang Huzi of the three eastern provinces of Weizhen, Timur is just the leader of a Mongolian tribe, and he is not an equalweight player at all.

And Wu Peifu personally led the troops to come with the idea of attaching importance to it, otherwise as long as he moved his fingers, there would be generals under his command to come to fight.

Wu Peifu is very serious in his work, different from the gentle and elegant Wu Peifu in the memory of Wei Si and others, today's Wu Peifu is fully armed, tightly tied with armed belts and slender military boots, aiming at the waist and shuttling at the front of the Qinhuangdao position, his body is very vigorous, but his face is gloomy like a fierce beast that chooses people and devours them.

"Commander Lin, is Timur, the leader of the Mongol army who defeated Guan Yingjie, just on the other side?" Holding a pair of binoculars and observing for a long time, Wu Peifu gave up the idea of taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Mongolian army and going out to kill.

The Mongolian military camp on the opposite side, although it seems to be very loose, the Mongolian soldiers do not dismount at all, and keep walking and patrolling, and have always maintained a very high vigilance.

From the time they appeared in front of the Qinhuangdao position, until now, six hours have passed, and in these six hours, not a single person in the entire Timur army dismounted to rest, which shows that the Mongols from these steppes have very exquisite equestrian skills and very good endurance.

"It seems that this Timur does have some skills!"

Wu Peifu had just finished praising him, and the old subordinate beside him, Commander Lin Yizhang, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Yes, division commander, then the Mongolian barbarians are in the camp!" But I think these Mongolian barbarians just have the title of cavalry, and there is no comparison with the cavalry of Europe! ”

"Good!" Tightening the binoculars in his hand, Wu Peifu praised Lin Yizhang beside him, "Soldiers must have this kind of fearless mentality, these Mongolians don't have more speed advantages than us, as long as we defend here, what can they do!" ”

Seeing that there was no one around him to respond, Wu Peifu asked in a deep voice to the circle of officers around him, "Do you have any good ways to order the Mongol army to come and attack our defense line?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, the Mongols did not find trouble with their "terraced" array as soon as they ran to Qinhuangdao, it was obvious that the generals of the other side saw that the Mongolian cavalry was not good at attacking fortifications, and they were still facing the insidious terrain of heavy artillery, iron nets and trenches, which would make them not step in with one foot.

"Scolding?" After some gossip, Wu Peifu heard from a large number of generals under his command that someone had raised such a "shameful" suggestion.

Wu Peifu is a wise general, not a reckless general, so after a little consideration, Wu Peifu announced to his subordinates, "That's right, use scolding!" ”

If the Zhifeng War had just begun, then Wu Peifu would not have disdained to use this kind of trick, and in the subsequent contest between him and Zhang Huzi, he did not need to use this kind of trick, so he drove Zhang Huzi from Xiongzhen Kanto back to his hometown. But since Timur's step, the situation has changed dramatically, although Wu Peifu still focuses on Zhang Huzi's body, but he doesn't have a good impression of this Timur who pulled himself back, not to mention "must kill", and he is definitely included in the "blacklist"!

However, the Chinese people in this era did not have the final say in China, Britain, the United States, France, Japan, Germany and Russia all liked to intervene in the changes in China, and even personally participated.

After Timur went south from Jixian County, Zhang Huzi began his own actions.

In fact, as early as when Wu Peifu attacked Shanhaiguan, seeing such a battle situation, Zhang Huzi knew that he should negotiate peace. Although the two families of Zhifeng were fighting, fortunately, the Zhijun did not have the strength and preparation to enter the Guanwai at that time. With the delay of time, Wu Peifu now had to concentrate on dealing with the southern army, in the far south Sun Yat-sen had already assembled his troops, detoured to Jiangxi for the Northern Expedition, and Zhejiang in the east also went west to launch an attack on Jiangxi. For Sun Chuanfang, who was guarding Jiangxi, he couldn't withstand a division alone, and the Sun and Lu families joined forces to attack, so Wu Peifu couldn't take care of Zhang Huzi, who had failed, and hurriedly prepared to go south.

But the appearance of Timur was a big mess of Wu Peifu's deployment, and the Mongolian army conquered Jixian in one fell swoop, so that the entire direct line was faintly divided into three, and Wu Peifu, whose strength was greatly reduced, had no time to take care of Timur after the defeat of Guan Yingjie.

Moreover, at this time, because Japan was in the Far East and Lao Maozi was pinched, the three eastern provinces had faintly become the sphere of influence of the Japanese, and a large number of Japanese military supplies were collected by the three eastern provinces, Wu Peifu was also worried that his own march would not get the support of Britain and the United States behind him, for fear of causing Japanese interference, and when the time came, Japan would threaten peace talks with Lao Maozi, and Britain and the United States would not support themselves, and then they would cause trouble.

Therefore, out of serious considerations, the two sides announced an armistice under the mediation of the consuls of various countries, and agreed to take Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) as the boundary, and the Feng army withdrew to the outside of the pass, and the direct army withdrew to the original defense except for one part that remained in Yuguan.

Timur's Mongol army incorporated the Rehe army, creating a buffer sphere of influence between the two armies.

If this proposal can be negotiated, then it can be said that all three have made concessions, and the Mongol system represented by Timur has the greatest advantage.

Zhang Huzi had no objection to the content of the peace talks because he had suffered a big loss before, and Wu Peifu himself was the initiator, so there would be no doubts, so if Timur agreed, the first Zhifeng War would be over.

The result of the war was the defeat of Feng's army, and Wu Peifu made another brilliant achievement. However, Zhang Huzi's defeat only lost all the territory and soldiers and horses in the pass, and his foundation outside the pass was still very solid and basically not fatally affected, but his defensive focus was all pulled to the south, and he relied more on Japanese assistance militarily.
