The left thousand households in the middle of the Daling River, the city was built in three years of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, located in the west of the Daling River, the east of the Xiaoling River, forty miles away from Jinzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is a strategic place, whether it is to enter the hinterland of Liaodong in the east or to Shanhaiguan in the west, it must pass through here. As a result, the area was plagued by many wars, and the city was repeatedly destroyed and then rebuilt. At this time, the left thousand households in the Daling River have been built and destroyed, leaving only broken walls.

In the original history, Chongzhen four years ago here had the famous battle of the Ling River, Huang Taiji fully demonstrated his military talent, not only annihilated the Ming army in one fell swoop in the mobile force outside the pass, but also used artillery units for the first time, set up a firearms battalion. The most important thing is that he used the excuse of Mang Gurtai to show his blade in front of the emperor, so as to overthrow Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan in one fell swoop, and achieved a situation of self-supremacy.

However, because the appearance of Hu Guang changed history, the original Battle of the Daling River did not take place, and Mang Gurtai had already been killed, and everything was no longer the same as the original history.

Winter has already set in the west, and it is estimated that there will be an hour or so before the mountain sets. The cold wind is howling, and the **** is extinct. However, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, like muffled thunder, came faintly from the west, breaking the calm here. Jianyu's scout horse soon appeared at a gallop and went straight to the mouth of the Daling River.

......The neighing of the war horse sounded, and the Jianyu Tanma skillfully reined in the horse and stopped quickly. In front of them was a ruined pontoon bridge.

The leader of the Jianyu Exploration Horse frowned slightly, and with a wave of his hand left and right, some of his men galloped up and downstream, and the main target was naturally the city that only left broken walls.

After only a few moments, the horses that had been scattered returned to the court, apparently not noticing the situation. The leader of the horses waved again, and one of his men turned his horse's head and walked away; And he and the rest of his men dismounted, led the war horses, and carefully stepped onto the frozen Daling River.

As a native of Liaodong, he naturally knows that in this season, the ice on this Daling River is enough to bear the weight of people and horses. It's just that the ice is slippery, so you have to be careful to cross it.

As soon as they crossed the Daling River, the Jianyu Tanma skillfully turned over their horses and rode away.

It didn't take long for the army to appear here, and Duoduo, who had already been informed, didn't care much about the pontoon bridge being demolished. Anyway, it was not demolished by the Ming army in Jinzhou, or it was demolished by the Heavenly Army or the Han Nu who were wandering around in Liaodong, and there was no other possibility.

The purpose of dismantling the pontoon bridge was nothing more than to delay the march of the army. If it was other seasons, especially during the flood season of the Daling River in summer and autumn, they could really get their wish, but now it is a severe winter that is freezing three feet, how can it be stopped here.

Therefore, when a general came to ask if he would camp here, he was scolded by Duoduo. In that case, it would be like the intention of the Heavenly Army, so that they could drive a large number of Han slaves to continue to plague the hinterland of Liaodong with a small number of men and horses.

At present, in order to minimize the losses of Liaodong, reduce the number of Manchus killed and the city captured, it is necessary to rush back to Liaodong as quickly as possible. As long as those thieves are found, not to mention that there are 7,000 cavalry, even if there are only 1,000 Qing cavalry, they can be slaughtered.

Duoduo even had this plan for a long time, and after passing this corridor in western Liaoning, and arriving in the open land of eastern Liaodong, he divided the army in his hand into three branches, swept over with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and slaughtered all the heavenly army and Han slaves he encountered.

It was also for these reasons that Dodor was in such a hurry that although the horses were desperately trying to find the way, they were only a little ahead of the army.

Knowing that there was no one nearby, even if there were any, he waved his hand and immediately ordered the army to cross the river.

So, stretching north and south along the bank of the Daling River, the black and oppressive people spread out like a swarm of ants, dismounted one after another, holding the reins, and carefully walked onto the ice.

There is nothing to say about the slippery ice surface, even if you are careful, there are cases of people and horses slipping. As long as one person or a horse falls, it will involve all the surrounding accomplices to slip and fall. The sound of the war horse "clanging" sounded from time to time, mixed with the complaints of the accomplices. All of a sudden, people shouted and neighed, and it was very lively.

The winter is getting more and more westerly, and it is estimated that the mountain will set in half an hour. The big and small black mountains are sandwiched between the ferries here, and there are no sunshine in some places.

On a slope in the Great Black Mountain, a group of people wearing earth-gray military uniforms crouched on the cold ground to observe the situation on the Daling River. If you don't look closely, it's impossible to find out that these people exist.

"Chief, these prisoners are really careless!" Wang Heizi lay beside Hu Guang and whispered excitedly.

In this expedition, Wang Heizi's military police unit was also requisitioned and became a guard unit around the chief.

Hu Guang continued to observe Jianyu's movements with a telescope, but at the same time replied to Wang Heizi: "This can't actually be blamed on them. If it were you, would you be able to calculate that we called the Heavenly Army to go on an expedition to Liaodong as soon as the Jianyu army set out? ”

"Before, I ordered Lakshen's field troops to be reduced to zero, liberated the Han people outside the city with small troops, and led them to make trouble in the hinterland of Liaodong, can you guess what the size of our troops is?"

"Your capital is under siege by a small enemy with the Hannu you look down on, and is likely to be at risk of falling. Will you be in a hurry to rescue the capital as soon as possible and extinguish the beacon fire in the hinterland of Liaodong? ”

"Hey, hey!" A series of rhetorical questions made Wang Heizi speechless, and he couldn't help but laugh wryly, and then commented with excitement: "Chief, then this is Yangmou?" ”

Hu Guang put down the binoculars, blinked his eyes, soothed the soreness, and then looked at Wang Heizi with a smile and said: "To have such a situation is the result of many efforts. If it weren't for the intelligence support of Shenyang and Jingshi, if it weren't for the fact that we called the Heavenly Army soldiers to have enough food, if it weren't for the fact that we had enough war horses, and if it weren't for the fact that Jianyu just happened to come out of the nest, it would not have been possible to have the current situation. ”

"I know, chief, you said that the war is fought with comprehensive national strength!" Wang Heizi listened and nodded constantly, and then suddenly said.

"Huh!" Hu Guang smiled, Wang Heizi has been by his side for a long time, and he really remembers what he usually says.

Just as he was about to say something, Hu Hansan, who had been observing silently on the side, suddenly spoke: "Chief, Jianyu has almost crossed the Daling River. ”

When Hu Guang heard this, he stopped instructing Wang Heizi, and hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked at it again.

The dense crowd of men and horses had basically crossed the Daling River, and even many of the Jianyu who crossed first had already formed a team and set off again. From here, it can be seen that the Duoduo will not stop marching until it is dark.

Hu Guang waited for a while, and when he saw that the Jianyu who had fallen behind had also pulled out their horses and left the Daling River, his face turned grim, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Send a signal, the attack begins!" ”
