Chapter 311: Big Strokes

The soldiers were disembarking one after another, which was nearly 100,000 people, and the subsequent pile-up of various weapons and supplies was even more time-consuming.

It took two hours for the supplies and the army to disembark, but fortunately, Zhang Dengke's cavalry scouts did not send any bad news when the army landed, and it seems that the Qing army did not attach importance to the defense of the coastal area. The cavalry was fortified in front of the field, while the direction of the march of the army was northwest.

The Great Wall of Shanhaiguan is relatively flat except for more than 20 miles near Shanhaiguan, the east is the vast sea, and the entire northwest direction is all mountainous, Wu Yun's task is to take a section of the Great Wall, this section of the Great Wall can not be the most dangerous place in the mountainous terrain, nor can it be too close to the Shanhaiguan City where heavy troops are stationed. There must be difficulty, and the only option is the section northwest of Shanhaiguan, because there are many low mountain sections, and there are much fewer Qing troops stationed at Shanhaiguan, which is very conducive to attacking.

"After crossing the river in the village of Pimple Ridge not far in front, six miles to the northeast is the Jiaoshan Great Wall, where my subordinates have been working there for three years without collecting at night, knowing every section of the Great Wall, and also knowing the details of the vicinity." While marching, a Ye Bushu was introducing the situation to Wu Yun and other generals, and this Ye Bushu seemed to be very familiar with the neighborhood.

"How high is the Great Wall at the foot of Horn Mountain? What is the topography like? Wu Yun asked as he walked.

"The Great Wall of Jiaoshan was built in the Ming Dynasty during the reign of Wuye Hong, and it was the most suitable attack point in the area from the dry gate at the foot of the mountain to the big flat top. The city wall is a masonry structure, and the height and width of this section of the wall follow the mountain. The height is generally more than six feet to about one zhang, and the width is not wide, and the narrowest is less than three feet. The outer end of these sections of the wall is very steep and difficult to attack, and the interior is very low, in some places only four or five feet high, which is convenient for our troops to climb the wall and fight. His subordinates knew where the walls were the shortest, and they knew where they were best to attack. ”

The answer is very detailed. It seems that the Great Wall has its characteristics, and this feature is that the defense is stronger than the defense, and the attack on the inside is really the best choice.

This area is vast and sparsely populated, and the cavalry led by Zhang Dengke is extremely easy to do with the clear wall, and as the sky is approaching evening, a small pimple ridge village appears in front of him. The cavalry moved quickly, and then it took only a thousand men to take control of this small village, which consisted of only a few dozen households.

In the usual cooking smoke, the entire village of Pimple Ridge slowly fell into darkness.

The soldiers all over the mountains disappeared into the night, and as the night came, more than 100 nights were not collected and released. The rest of the soldiers began to satisfy their hunger and dry food on the hot water in the village, and this was the supper for today.

In a small courtyard with two entrances in the village, the oil lamp in a room emitted faint smoke, and Zheng Sen's uncle and nephew, Yu Dahu, Weng Zhiqi and Wu Yun gathered together.

There was one more person in the house, a man in the village surnamed Chen, who was trembling and reporting to several people about the situation at Shanhaiguan and the nearby Great Wall.

"According to the villagers who crossed the river to collect firewood, Shanhaiwei only had 5,000 Jiannu defenders, among whom there were many old and weak, and there were very few defenders along the pier, usually only about a dozen people."

That's just too little! No one could have imagined that an army of nearly 100,000 would deal with such a small number of Jiannu. Or some old and weak people who have little combat effectiveness. It feels a little ridiculous, but it is also common sense to think about it, Shanhaiwei and the Great Wall belong to the rear, and the army of Jiannu is in order to hold the hope of Zuihou. Almost all of them were gathered in the area of Jingshi, and the lack of soldiers in the defense of the Great Wall was reasonable.

"Is it true? If there is falsehood, you know the consequences! Wu Yun is still not very reassured, after all, this is in the control area of Jiannu. He made a small threat to this Lizheng.

"General! The little ones are also Han people, and they are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, don't you know what those hateful Jiannu have done? All the people have long hoped that the imperial court will recover the territory as soon as possible. Looking forward to the return of the imperial army, I can drive these Tartars out of the customs as soon as possible! How dare the little old man lie? If there is half a lie, the little old man's family will be at the disposal of the general! ”

The elderly Chen Lizheng simply knelt down again and began to vow.

It seems that there will be no fake, in order to be safe, Weng Zhiqi interjected: "Call those who have been near the Great Wall to ask again, if they are all about the same, it will be no problem!" ”

This suggestion was also thought by everyone, and several people nodded one after another. Soon, several frightened and trembling villagers were brought over

There was a glimmer of morning light in the east, and the sea was foggy, and the mist just disguised the movement of the army, and it took a few thousand soldiers less than half an hour to fill in a road to cross the stone river, which was almost out of the riverbed. The soldiers in the field were silent, and the thousands of horsemen first carried their horses past, and then the overwhelming army began to move.

Shihe was only eight miles away from the Great Wall of Jiaoshan, and this eight miles distance was too easy for Zhou Huchen's soldiers

The spring sun was warm, and it was rare to have such a good day, and old Bakshi was lazily leaning on the pier and basking in the sun.

Baksh is over 50 years old, and he has never been out of the mountains before joining the army, and he has only been to a few neighboring villages close to his village, and the old Bakshi has become a soldier, a soldier of the Great Qing Kingdom. This is the order of the Qing Emperor, and all those under seventy and over ten years old in the territory of Jianzhou are in the army, that is to say, Jianzhou is equivalent to dispatching all men. The old Bakshi, who was already in his fifties, had to go with the army. It's a pity that Old Bakshi really doesn't know what an emperor is, and he thinks that the emperor should be the largest village chief in this newly established Great Qing Kingdom.

Bakshi means scholar in Manchu, but unfortunately, the old Bakshi does not know how to read, does not know a single one, except for hunting and chopping wood in the mountains, the most work that the old Bakshi does is the stone house, he is the only stonemason in the village, this is still an ancestral craft, and it is also the main source of his life.

There seems to be some movement under the walls, but it sounds like there is movement inside the walls, and it must be a movement caused by wild beasts such as hares or goats! Old Bakshi was good at hunting when he was young, and he always relied on hunting for tooth sacrifices, and that feeling was good. It's a pity that now that he is older, he is not what he used to be, and the old man is a little slow to react, and these prey old Baksh can rarely be hunted now, so he has been too lazy to pay attention to the prey that has been sent to the door in recent years.

There are only nine people on the pier of the Great Wall at the foot of this Jiaoshan Mountain, and there are three old people over fifty years old, including the old Bakshi, one of whom is just less than seventy years old, and he is completely an ancient man who cannot take a step and is about to die; And among the other six people, there are two little babies, these two little babies are twelve or thirteen years old, and they are just able to lift the knife; The remaining four had one soldier and three Orions. And that only soldier was the leader of the pier; At the same time, this leader is also a cripple, according to his own boasting is still a memorial to the last time he entered the customs and fought bravely, he was wounded by the Ming army.

These people can also defend the Great Wall! Old Bakshi didn't understand, but it didn't matter, this was the rear of the Great Qing Kingdom, and he had never seen any battles on the Great Wall since he arrived. Old Baksh also gained some insight after joining the army, and he knew how to line up; Knowing what an army is; I saw the majestic Great Wall; I also knew that I was patrolling the Great Wall, and I had seen those Ming people who came to the vicinity to collect firewood from afar. It is said that further south is the rich land of the Ming Dynasty, where there is endless food to eat and clothes to wear. There are also silk and gold and silver treasures, which will be distributed to the servants when they have attained war merits. That kind of life is very desirable, but it is far, far away from old Bakshi

The noise continued, and Daddy Baksh sat up lazily, then stood up.

There was a "click", this time it was too loud for Old Baksh to hear clearly, and he raised his head, which was on the inner wall on the left. Two thick sticks were exposed. Immediately after, the sound of da-da continued to be heard, and with it, the inner wall of the Great Wall revealed a lot of thick wooden sticks.

Old Bakshi reacted: "Someone stole the city~"

A man dressed in clothes that the old Baksh had never seen before showed half of his body on the city walls. At the same time as the elder Baksh gave a warning, the man raised his hand, and a thud was heard, and the elder Baksh felt a heavy blow to his chest. The blow was like a blow from a hammer, and the aged Baksh flew out

There are many trees in the mountains, and there is no shortage of wood. This section of the Great Wall is very low, and the five-foot ladder is more than enough, and it is too easy to climb the Great Wall. The pier is actually a beacon tower, and the people who are sleeping lazily in the pier platform lit the beacon fire at the first time, but unfortunately, the beacon fire was not ignited, and there was not much smoke from the alarm, Zhou Huchen's soldiers who came to the assault were too fast, and the remaining eight people were solved instantly, and the beacon fire that had just been lit was extinguished.

"I'm thinking too complicated! It seems that Jiannu is really short of troops to a certain extent, and it is simply "

Wu Yun, who climbed the Great Wall, looked at the nine corpses in front of him and sighed, this is too easy, and these corpses of Jiannu also show that these people guarding the Great Wall are not soldiers at all, and it is undoubtedly too wasteful to use hundreds of the most elite soldiers to assault!

"It seems that this is indeed the case, let's advance to Shanhaiguan! I can't wait! Zheng Sen and others also went to the Great Wall, and Zheng Sen was obviously more meritorious.

"Not only Shanhaiguan, but also Xifengkou, Gubeikou, and Juyong Pass must be taken, and the entire Northern Great Wall must be taken, and our army must complete a complete Great Wall defense line with General Wang's army in Yanqing Prefecture. Our army is strong, and the Great Wall is too narrow, so it happens that the troops occupy the entire North Great Wall in two ways. ”

Here along the Great Wall to the Gubeikou area and Yanqing Prefecture Wang Deyong completed the meeting and the distance is far, far away, thousands of miles, but the entire Great Wall is through, there is no problem to get there, and the Badaling Great Wall is less than 100 miles away from the nearest place in the northern capital.

The whole jihua is amazing! Is this a jihua that Wu Yun can formulate?

Obviously not, this jihua is huge and perfect, and it is completely the handiwork of Zhou Huchen!

"My brother has always been generous, and his move is earth-shattering! This door is wide enough! It seems that Jiannu is coming to an end, what are we waiting for?! "Cowman! Zheng Sen had to sigh again at Zhou Huchen's conducting art and courage.

Originally, I thought that with such a small number of troops in Shanhaiguan, it would be a bit of a fuss to dispatch an army of 100,000 troops, but now, Zheng Sen understands. And the rest of the people also understood that Zhou Huchen's dispatch of this 100,000 army was completely jihuahaode, and the winding and long Great Wall defense line with 100,000 troops was not too much, and Zhou Huchen had made the most correct prediction of the deployment of the Qing army. This will be a battle to close the door and fight the dogs, and it seems that Zhou Huchen is going to have a decisive battle with the Qing army. (To be continued......)
