Naha's position was divided into three lines.

The first line has more infantry and less cavalry, with infantry as the main force, placed in the middle, and mainly attacks the camps and fortifications of the Goryeo battalion; A small part of the cavalry was placed on the flanks, pinning down and covering. The second line was the main cavalry, which was used to storm the places broken by the infantry and increase the results of victory. The third line is the baggage troops, which stay behind and serve as a reserve, and at the same time be responsible for service work.

This formation was learned from Tang Taizong, but there are slight differences in the specific division of labor and application of each line.

In contrast, Qing Qianxing's countermeasures are much simpler, "He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze caress the mountain." He let him be horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river." Riding and foot all kinds of troops are added, different times and places are favorable, and the formations that can change are endless, but everything is not separated from its origin, and he only takes one "guard" word.

Outside Liaoyang City, the entire army of the Goryeo battalion shrank and resisted stubbornly. Wherever Naha goes to fight, Qing Qianxing will increase his troops; Naha deliberately exposed the flaws, but Qing Qianxing didn't see it. In short, if you come to fight, I will guard; If you don't fight, I won't chase.

In the field offensive and defensive battle, the defender has fortifications and sufficient equipment, occupying a favorable position. If there is not much difference in the combat strength of the two armies, for the attacking side, if it wants to fight a quick battle, it must use strange tricks. The most troublesome thing is the current situation, Naha is like a mouse pulling a turtle, and there is no way to speak.

"Qing Qianxing, a thief!"

Naha scolded like this, he pulled the map, looked at it for a long time, and asked, "Have the red thieves in Dongmu Mountain been annihilated?" ”

There were more than 1,000 people from the Qingqianxing Department in Dongmu Mountain, and before Naha went out to attack, in order to prevent them from threatening his flank, he sent Nairawu to seize it. A staff member said: "Although the resistance of the red thieves in Dongmu Mountain is tenacious, there are few people. General Liu sent a military report in the morning, and he could take the mountain by night. ”

"Nightfall?"

Nahachu looked up at the tent, just after noon. He categorically vetoed and said, "Tell Narawu to give him two more hours, and before the hour, the prime minister will hear the good news!" ”

"Two hours?"

"Not bad. Our army has started a war with Liaoyang, and it has been two days so far, but Deng Thief still does not move, although Yang Wanhu's troops have retreated again and again, but they have retreated three times, but they have retreated for 90 miles, and they are reluctant to give up the heart of Guangning, which is obvious. Ninety miles away, morning and evening, he can re-enter the Guangning battlefield at any time, now the war in Guangning is tight, the prince three times a day, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will launch a general attack.

"At this critical moment, our army must not give him any chance to get involved in it, we must hurt him and tell him to come back to Liaoyang honestly."

Naha went out to attack Liaoyang, first, to be ordered by the holy decree, and second, to die and have cold lips and teeth. If the bag is defeated, only Shenyang will remain in Liaodong, and it will be difficult to support the lonely tree, and it will be defeated sooner or later. Therefore, Nang Jialu asked him to bring back Dunshe to ensure that the war in Quang Ninh would not change, and he cooperated quite resolutely.

"How are you going to fight?"

"There has been a lot of fog these days, and there will be a lot of fog at night. Taking Dongmu Mountain is equivalent to opening the east gate of the red thief. The herald is Rawu, you must conquer Dongmu Mountain before the unitary time, rest at the time of the day, make rice at the time of the time, and take advantage of the fog to raid the flank of the red thief! ”

"Yes." A staff member took the order and went to inform Narawu.

"Ordered the front line Liu Tan Ma Chi, from now until night, to storm the red thief camp endlessly, and not stop for half an hour. When the son arrives, the prime minister will personally lead the new force and echo Nairawu. The enemy camp will not be broken, and he will not give up. Tomorrow morning, Lao Tzu will march to the city of Liaoyang! ”

Fortunately, the fog in these two days was much smaller than in the previous days, and it would be much more difficult to attack Naha than in the previous days, as it had been a few days before, with heavy fog and no one to be seen on the other side.

At this moment, the time seemed to be slightly biased towards the Yuan army. Just before the Yuan army took Dongmu Mountain and was about to launch a general attack, in the night and the gradually rising fog, eighty miles east of Wuping City, a group of cavalry died down, with people and horses wrapped in hooves, and quietly crossed the Yakniu River.

The general who led the army was nine feet long, with ten sashes, armor and horses, and iron spears horizontally. But who is not Lu Qianshi?

He was ordered by Deng She to attack Yizhou. As for how to get mixed with the camps along the Yuan army, it is simple to say, and there are no more than two main points. First, camouflage, wearing the armor of the Yuan army, playing the banner of the Yuan army, and pretending to be the appearance of the Yuan army. Second, the whole was divided into zero, 3,000 people were divided into four or five teams, many nearly 1,000, and few hundreds, according to the map drawn by the meticulous work, and the township guide took the place to avoid the tight defense of the Yuan army, and took the trail, interspersed with stealth.

The gray mist obscured the distant mountains and near the water. If you talk about the prosperity of Liaodong, first talk about Liaozuo and Liaoxi, pass Wuping and Chuanzhou, and then go north, you will enter the boundary of Ningchang Road.

Ningchang Road is the fief of the Yiqi Lie Si Department, and the west is adjacent to the fiefdom of the Hongji Tribe, Quanning Road, both of which are one of the five casts of Monan. The meaning of casting is fiefdom and fiefdom. Most of the Wutou were originally not in Monan, and after Kublai Khan opened the Golden Lotus River Shogunate, he moved them here.

The main force of the Tanma Red Army led by Nang Jiayan was composed of them. There are many Mongolians in these places, and in addition to the official pastures, the princes and nobles have opened up many private enclosures. In spring and summer, the mountains and forests are lush and wild deer are flocked. On a sunny day, looking into the distance, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. In the land of Liaodong, the folk customs are fierce and rough, not only men are good at riding, but many women are also outstanding in equestrian skills. When the war did not break out, there were often men and women riding on horseback and galloping across the wilderness.

Lu Qian12 once heard the old soldiers of Liaodong in the army say that the envoys of the peaceful and prosperous era, in Liaodong, travelers travel far away, and they don't even need to carry dry food with them.

It's very old-fashioned.

Let people listen to it, leisurely fascinated. It's a pity that now the war is raging, and the scenes of the past are no longer there. On the winter night of the nineteenth year, Lu Qian's twelve horses were in the fog. In order to hide their whereabouts, they did not carry torches, and completely relied on the guide's familiarity with the terrain, so it can be said that they marched blindly.

The three thousand men were divided into several units, and the group he led was the largest, more than eight hundred. The long queue, followed closely before and after, the people and horses were silent, like a long snake, silently walking through the night mist. There are officers behind the palace to prevent the non-commissioned officers from falling behind. It was dark and foggy, and once you fell behind, it was difficult to return to the establishment.

So far, they have marched quite smoothly, and they have passed more than ten miles in Sichuanzhou, and they have not encountered a single Yuan army patrol. However, Lu Qianxi did not dare to take it lightly, he knew that the responsibility was heavy, and gently comforted the restless mount, and he asked the township guide in a low voice: "The first line of defense of the Tartars, how far is it from us?" ”

In the fog, it was impossible to see the distance clearly, so the guide discerned the surrounding scenery and replied: "About seventeen or eighteen miles away, there is a village with two battalions of Tartar foot soldiers stationed. The villain knew a path to bypass, and although there were also Tartars guarding it, there were not many of them. It's just that the road is a little rougher. ”

Before Lu Qianxi left the army, Deng She specially allocated him a lot of hundred-way iron-hoofed horses and the like, who were good at trekking through mountains and rivers, and were not afraid of rough roads. It's just how to quietly kill the Yuan army guarding the entrance to the path, it's a little troublesome.

However, he has been in the army for many years, and has fought a lot of similar small-scale raids, and he has experience. At that moment, he frowned, called over two or three brave generals, and ordered to select elite veterans, led by guides, first touch the external surroundment, and then infiltrate and kill, and so on, to open the way for the large army.

According to the detailed investigation, the camps of the Yuan army reported to each other twice a day, morning and evening. In other words, after killing this Yuan army guarding the path, the Yuan army stationed in the village in front will learn the news early tomorrow morning. They may not pursue, but they will definitely report to the rear, but with the time difference of this night, by that time, Lu Qianxi will not know how far he has galloped.

The Yuan army's defense line is very long, and even if they will definitely strengthen their defenses because of this, there is still a gap to take advantage of in the fog. The only trouble is that Yizhou will be guarded in advance, Deng She has secretly explained, and Lu Qianshi has his own countermeasures to deal with it. He made an agreement with several other armies to meet in three days, and at his present pace of marching, he could march day and night.

He looked at the sky, but he had other worries: "The fog will stop as soon as it happens, and it will not be easy to mix up." "The damp cold fog is not as thick as the previous days. He made a decision: "The whole army will speed up and strive to arrive in two days." I'd rather wait one more day outside Yizhou than be late because of the fog. ”

"Our army goes deep into the enemy's hinterland, and if the speed is too fast, it is difficult to hide, and we need to be careful to expose it."

"The whole army is ready for war at any time; Increase the number of scouts in front of you, expand the scope of vigilance, and spread out more than five miles. Lu Qianxi did not hesitate, he had made up his mind. If the military law is missing, it should be beheaded, and it is a trivial matter to cut off the head, but it is just a death; If he misses Dunshe's great affairs, it will be difficult to atone for his sins.

The fog covers Liaodong, and the night is dark.

Lu Qian's 12th military order, the three armies moved. Go around the village in front of you and turn into the forest path. Hundreds of people lurked outside, sneaking into the Yuan army's outpost, the cat waist, silent, cold short knife, penetrating the enemy's throat bone, the Yuan soldier quietly fell to the ground, blood like a fountain instantly stained red gray mist.

In the gray mist, there was a loud bang, which made people's hearts beat and their legs weak.

From Lu Qian's 12th Department to the south, more than 100 miles away from Guangning City. Above and below the city, the two sides of the fierce battle were briefly paused because of this loud noise, and then deafening cheers, countless horrors, thousands of troops and horses watched in full view, and they saw that the wall had collapsed a corner.

The marshal of the Yuan army waved a big flag, and the Yuan army swarmed up like a tide. I heard a red scarf chanting from the colonel, and called three or four people's names in a row. Whoever was named answered enthusiastically, took the headquarters, and Mercedes-Benz came to the rescue. Arrows and stones are like rain, arrows are like flying locusts, and in order to compete for the dominance of the collapsed place, the tragic hand-to-hand combat is launched again.

Pan Cheng stood at the head of the city with a gun, looking at the boundless mist, the Yuan army in the near distance was clearly visible, and the Yuan army in the distance appeared from time to time.

He looked back, and the city was devastated.

The Yuan army concentrated almost all the artillery and stone cannons, and continued to use them into the city day and night, not to mention the houses near the edge of the city, and even some houses and shops in the center of the city. The corpses that died on the side of the road were left unattended, and the residents who were lucky enough not to die were escorted by heavily armed soldiers, transporting all kinds of ordnance in a constant stream, and their faces were filled with horror and fear.

"How many days has Wang Zongzhe been gone? Are you back? ”

This question, in just one day and half of the night, Pan Cheng asked it dozens of times. The staff knew that he was anxious, and they didn't dare to show any impatience, you know, because of some trivial things, Pan Cheng had already killed seven or eight people in a row. He replied respectfully: "Lord Wang, who went to Wuping the day before yesterday, has not yet returned. It will take him two to three days to come back and forth, and if he doesn't come back tonight, he will definitely come back tomorrow. ”

"Definitely back tomorrow? Why didn't he come back next year! ”

Pan Cheng suddenly became angry without warning, jumped like thunder, and pointed to the place where the city wall collapsed: "Do you calculate, how many times has the city wall collapsed?" Come back tomorrow? Do you come back to collect Lao Tzu's body? His handsome face was distorted and terrifying, and he paid great attention to the neatness of a person, but at this time he did not care about the blood and dust on his clothes.

The left and right horses were silent.

Pan Cheng lost his temper, looking at the collapsed place, the red scarf gradually gained the upper hand, and his heart was slightly relieved. After asking Wang Zongzhe's whereabouts, he glanced at his left and right eyes, and stopped talking, as if he had a question, and he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. The staff knew his intentions, but they just pretended not to know and pretended to be confused.

He took a deep breath and asked another question, he asked, "What about Pan Ren?" Is there a military report coming? What is the military situation in Luyang? Lao Tzu has been urging him for a few days, why hasn't his military horse come yet? ”

"The third general sent a military report in the morning, and he sent reinforcements twice, once by the Tartars, and once by the Tartars, and the whole army was annihilated. He issued a military order, saying that he would do his best to fight the main force of Luyang on the next day, and at any cost, he must break through the blockade of the Tartars to save our city. ”

"At any cost? Without Lao Tzu, can there still be his Luyang? ”

Pan Cheng cursed and cursed, but he didn't blame Pan Ren, at most he hated iron and steel. He has two younger brothers, the second brother Pan Xin, who is brave and good at fighting, and died on the front line a few days ago. Pan Ren ranked third, his official position was quite high, and he was the marshal of Luyang Wing in Liaoyang Province of the Great Song Dynasty, and in terms of ability, he was the worst.

There were more than 10,000 military horses in Luyang, less than 60 miles away from Guangning, and the Yuan army intercepted in the middle was only a few thousand, and he couldn't rush three times or twice. Pan Cheng regretted slightly, he shouldn't have sent Pan Mei to death in the first place, if his adopted son Pan Mei was still alive, with his title of "Liaodong Red Scarf Night Pearl", it would be a big help.

The Si people are gone, and it is useless to think about it. This thought flashed away, and Pan Cheng immediately focused his attention on the moment, and he finally asked the question that he was most reluctant to ask, and it was also the one he most desperately wanted to answer. urgently, because that is his only savior; Reluctantly, because he was afraid of disappointment.

"Xiao Deng, are you here? Yang Wanhu, are you here? ”

No one answered.

After a long time, one said: "It is reported that Nahachu has been harassing Liaoyang in the past few days, and Yang Wanhu's troops have shown signs of retreating. Xiao Deng ,...... Xiao Deng did not move. ”

Pan Cheng clenched the iron gun, and he saw the red scarf at the collapsed place, completely blocking the attacking Yuan army. Behind them, many people braved bows and arrows, carried women's walls, wooden walls, carried bricks and stones, and even the corpses of the dead, slowly plugging the gap. He muttered, "Three days, the fourth collapsed." ”

Guangning Road.

——

1, Ningchang Road is one of the fiefs of the five casts of Mo Nan and the Ministry of Begging and Liesi.

In 1214, the Mongol army was divided into left and right roads to cut gold, and the left army led by the head of the Yiqi Lie Department led by the left army to capture the two states of Liaoxi Hao and Yi, and Genghis Khan gave these two states to the Bald. In 1285, the head of the Yiqi Liesi Department was stationed in Ningchang County, Muhao Prefecture, and named his grandson the king of Ningchang County. In 1308, he was named King of Chang. In 1318, the county was established as a government. In 1322, the house was promoted to the road.

2, the Shogunate of the Golden Lotus River.

In 1251, Möngke Khan ordered his younger brother Kublai Khan to lead the military affairs of the Han Dynasty in Monan, stationed in the Golden Lotus River, and established the famous "Golden Lotus River Shogunate" in history.

3. Many women are also outstanding in equestrian skills.

"Liaozuo women are good at riding horses, and they are better than men. The whip galloped fearlessly, and the posture was more elegant. Occasionally, one or two who can't ride it will laugh together. This is from the notes of the Qing people, about the Manchu women, the Mongolian people, the Manchu people are all good at riding and archery, it is expected that there should be similarities.

4. The master must enter the chicken or slaughter the porpoise, and prepare beans to feed the horses and mules.

"The customs of Liaozuo are simple, and those who travel and seek accommodation through the door, the master will enter the chicken or slaughter the dolphin, prepare beans to feed the horses and mules, and do not ask where the guests come and go."

"Those who walk outside the wicker border do not wrap in grain, and when they meet people, they go straight into their rooms, and the master cooks all of them, or let the guests stay in the south kang at dusk, and lie on the northwest kang. The horse boiled beans and wheat and rubbed it grass-fed, and the guests did not receive a penny. ”

Both of these are from the notes of the Qing people.

Wicker edge: The ruler of the Qing Dynasty forbade the Han people to enter Inner Mongolia and Northeast China, and implemented ethnic isolation, built a trench in Liaoning and Inner Mongolia, planted willows along the trench, and planted willows along the moat.
