It's been a while since the last time the wolf cavalry and the Guanning iron cavalry faced each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

During this period of time, Li Mu handed over the one million stone grain that had been transported to Liaodong earlier to Sun Chengzong, and then ignored it, and the Liaodong border army deployed it alone.

In order to cooperate with Li Mu's purpose of leading the wolf cavalry guard and the Guanning iron cavalry to attack Shenyang City, Sun Chengzong continued to transfer grain and grass from Shanhaiguan to other important towns during this period of time, so as to cope with the excessive transfer of Guanning iron cavalry and the empty time period of the eastern Liaodong border defense line, to ensure that the grain and grass in these important towns would not be missing.

It wasn't until seven days later that all the important towns of the Liaodong defense line had stocked up on enough grain and grass to prepare for unforeseen defensive measures, and it was time for Li Mu to lead the two horsemen out of the pass.

Three thousand wolf cavalry guards and 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry gathered outside the city of Shanhaiguan, and for a time the entire Shanhaiguan fell into an environment of neighing horses.

In history, there has never been any conclusion about how many people there are in Guanning Iron Cavalry, some say thousands, and some say tens of thousands.

Li Mu didn't know the specific number too well, the 20,000 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry behind him was the largest number he wanted from Sun Chengzong, and if he wanted it again, Sun Chengzong, who had a literati temperament and a life of kindness, was about to show signs of going berserk.

In front of the wolf cavalry guard, Guan Ning Tiecai followed behind as a servant army, and Li Mu's Chinese army tent was in the middle of the two horses, saying that the Chinese army tent was a team of wolf cavalry guards guarding the side.

Sun Chengzong was in the Chinese army in an official robe, and raised his glass to Li Mu, who was wearing armor, and said: "Lord Li, it is forbidden to drink alcohol in the army, and this official will definitely return triumphantly with this cup of tea." ”

"Okay." Li Mu also took the teacup in Sun Chengzong's hand proudly, drank it as if it was wine, and then smashed the teacup to the ground: "Thank you Lord Sun for this good tea." ”

In the past few days, I have learned a lot of things with Sun Chengzong in Shanhaiguan, some insights on ancient culture, and the appreciation of ancient poems have been greatly improved, especially in the art of war, and I have also benefited a lot.

This made Li Mu admire Sun Chengzong's appointment as the commander of Liaodong as a civilian official, at least the other party was not like Li Mu, who relied on the system to achieve every victory through cheating.

People have real skills.

To be honest, if Zhu Youzhen was not suspicious by nature in history, and could reuse some old ministers who trusted the Apocalypse Dynasty, such as Sun Chengzong, to rule the Liaodong defense line, and was much stronger than Yuan Chonghuan, who could only play tricks, maybe history would have changed because of this.

However, although Chongzhen was the most diligent emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was also the most suspicious and jealous monarch, and he did not have a trusting mind for his subordinates, which was also the reason for the rapid demise of the Ming Dynasty.

After chatting with Sun Chengzong about the Liaodong border defense line, and determining that after the Guanning Iron Cavalry left the pass, the Liaodong defense line would enter a state of entrenchment.

Li Mu parted ways with him, turned over his horse, rode on his horse, and waved to the wolf cavalry guard who acted as a herald beside him: "Give the order to go down and pull out the camp." ”

"No!"

"Order! Pull out the camp, march! ”

"Order! Pull out the camp, march! ”

....

Suddenly, under the city of Shanhaiguan, there was a violent shaking, as if the earth was trembling.

All the cavalry moved forward with their horses under their crotch, and gradually increased their speed with the team in front of them, until they slowly disappeared under the mountain pass.

Outside Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong still refused to leave after Li Mu disappeared with the team, and persistently looked at the smoke and dust that was startled by iron hooves in the distance.

"My lord, it's time for us to get in." A staff officer reminded that there were 23,000 iron horsemen just now, so naturally there was no need to consider safety issues, and now that the iron horsemen had left, it was better to return to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible.

"Hmm." Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "I don't know what will happen to Lord Li's departure, I hope it won't consume too much combat power in Liaodong." ”

Hearing this, the staff officer asked puzzledly: "My lord also thinks that this Lord Li from the capital cannot succeed in this surprise attack on Shenyang City?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong shook his head and said: "That's not it, it's just that Daming always has to plan for the worst, if it fails, my Daming will fall into an extremely difficult situation, but as Master Li said, this surprise attack on Shenyang City is not an opportunity for Daming." ”

Thinking of the gamble between Li Mu and Man Gui, he said: "This can be regarded as a gamble that can only be won and not lost." ”

After speaking, he ignored the staff officers around him and walked straight towards the gate of Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan City has gradually returned to its former order.

......

After Li Mu ran out of dozens of miles with 23,000 iron horses, he summoned Man Gui, the commander of the Guanning Iron Cavalry out of the pass this time, and ordered: "Man Gui, order your Guanning Iron Cavalry to clear all the obstacles leading to Shenyang City from now on with a team of 1,000 people. ’

After a pause, he continued: "Remember not to fall in love, this seat is going to come to Shenyang City in the fastest time, do you know?" ”

"The last will understand." Man Gui rode back on his war horse without asking for a specific reason.

Li Mu nodded, waved Man Gui down, and instructed Guan Ning Tieqi to act according to the order.

With Man Gui's order, 20,000 Guan Ning iron cavalry broke away from the team in units of 1,000 cavalry in turn, and began to carry out an obstacle clearance operation around the wolf cavalry guard.

This order is completely to keep the 20,000 Guan Ning Iron Riders out that night, but this is also the purpose of bringing the Guan Ning Iron Riders out.

According to historical records, Huang Taiji is now attacking Chahar with most of the Jurchen army, and if Li Mu does not take Shenyang City as quickly as possible, he will covet the wealth along the way.

By mid-October, Huang Taiji had returned victorious against Chahar, and at that time, attacking Shenyang City would be a waste of time.

At least Li Mu didn't have the habit of freezing outside, how could he be warm and warm after entering Shenyang City, waiting for Huang Taiji to attack his Shenyang City, and he would come comfortably.

There is also a problem, that is, he did not plan to wipe out the Jurchen tribe entirely, in addition to the reason for the rule of the Ming plane, there are also other purposes.

Otherwise, he would not have proposed to set up the Jurchen Clan for the Never Recruit An clan, which would still be troublesome.

For a long time in the future, the Jurchen tribe will maintain an effective combat capability, which will be absolutely beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and the tense atmosphere of the external environment will help to attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty and temporarily divert some contradictions.

At the same time, the Jurchens have a certain combat effectiveness, and they can also play a role in tempering the Ming army.

That's right, Li Mu is using the Jurchens as a whetstone for the Ming army, and it is used by the Ming army to train the army.

The main purpose of this surprise attack on Shenyang City is to sweep away the wealth accumulated by the Jurchens, weaken the combat effectiveness of some of the Jurchens, solve the worries of the Ming Dynasty next year, and rob Huang Taiji's daughter-in-law by the way.

Well, this order actually has to be reversed, the main purpose of Li Muqi's attack on Shenyang City is actually to look at the wealth accumulated by the Jurchens, and the daughter-in-law who wants to rob Huang Taiji, and bring it to Daming to solve next year's troubles.

This is the true sequence of the surprise attack on Shenyang City.

Of course, the order doesn't matter, it's just a matter of getting the desired result in the end.

In the past few days, Li Mu has been running wildly on the frozen black earth with 23,000 iron horses, until one night, quietly approaching a place three miles outside the city of Shenyang. (To be continued.) )
