Li Mu rode a war horse and slowly came to a raised dirt slope, looking at Shenyang City in the distance under the cold night, and a team of wolf horsemen guarded under the dirt slope. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not far away is a silent forest, and the night is integrated into the Daming Iron Horse, like a ghost, there is no sound, just waiting for an order, this group of organized greedy wolves, will kill towards the target, a blow to seal the throat.

After a short time, Man Gui also rode up the dirt slope on his war horse, stopped on one side, and listened to the command, and his eyes looked into the distance from time to time, the target who was about to attack.

Before launching the attack, Man Gui knew that this was like the calm before the storm, just waiting for a thunderous order, and the storm would come.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry is waiting for this order.

Looking at Shenyang City at night three miles away, you can only see a rough outline of the city, and this dirt slope is too far away to see its full picture.

I can't help but think of the inconceivability of starting from Shanhaiguan and attacking Shenyang City on the way.

Along the way, it may be the reason why winter is approaching, and the weather is extremely cold, so that the land of Liaodong is rarely visited during the day.

On the way to attack Shenyang City, he did not encounter a large number of Jurchen soldiers, even if he encountered two or three kittens, under the absolute advantage of Guanning Iron Cavalry, the tea room could be easily solved.

It was only then that Man Gui knew that the Jurchens' defense in winter was so empty, and the Ming Dynasty's policy towards the Jurchens was too conservative in the past, so he missed many opportunities to attack the Jurchens.

This also made Man Gui admire Li Mu's boldness.

It can be said that under the deliberate concealment, their 23,000 iron horsemen arrived outside Shenyang City with ease, and did not attract the attention of the Jurchens.

.....

Looking at the peaceful and silent Shenyang City in the distance, Li Mu instructed Man Gui beside him: "Man Gui, pass the order, let the Guanning Iron Cavalry slowly approach Shenyang City, and take care of the other six gates of Shenyang City with the momentum of encirclement, and don't let anyone in the city have a chance to escape from the scope of Shenyang City. ”

According to the Ming Dynasty Shenyang Zhongwei period, Shenyang City only had four exit gates, but since the Jurchens expanded into a tic-tac-toe pattern, Shenyang City has become eight city gates.

The division system of the eight banners corresponding to the Jurchen tribes is also the composition of the Jurchen army, and each flag guards a city gate in Shenyang City, and the eight banners guard the eight city gates.

It's just that Li Mu didn't know that Shenyang City actually had nine city gates, and there was another one where the Nurha Chixing Palace was located, which was not abolished when Shenyang City was expanded, and it was still retained.

However, this city gate of the Nurhachi period has long been useless, and Li Mu asked Guanning to surround Shenyang City, which can be regarded as an indirect solution to this neglected problem.

Guanning Iron Cavalry besieged six city gates, and the other two city gates were reserved for wolf cavalry guards, and tonight's main attack was the wolf cavalry guards under Li Mu's command.

Flicking the horsewhip, Li Mu continued: "Man Gui told your Guanning Iron Cavalry to cheer up this seat tonight, and after entering the city, this seat will allow them to ride their horses for three days. ”

Genghis Khan, the greatest king of the Mongols and the founder of the Golden Family, once said that the fastest thing he could do was to crush the rebels, defeat the enemy, uproot them, and seize everything they had.

It is the greatest pleasure of men to make their married women weep and weep, to ride on their horses with smooth backs, to use the belly of their beautiful concubines as nightgowns and cushions, to look at their rosy cheeks and kiss them, and to suck their sweet pink lips.

Although Genghis Khan finally died on the belly of the woman, it is said that he died on the princess of Western Xia.

This also corroborates a problem.

Most of the ancient armies had the tradition of allowing soldiers to indulge in the city for a few days after the siege victory, especially the nomads, otherwise, the nomads could not have too high combat effectiveness by relying only on the loose army system.

Desire is the source of the nomads' terrible combat effectiveness.

The Jurchens were able to rise, to put it bluntly, it was also by relying on this desire from the nomadic tribe that Nurhachi was able to start his business with thirteen pieces of armor.

This order is that Li Mu will turn the pain inflicted on the people of the Ming Dynasty by Li Mu and let them enjoy it themselves.

No way, Li Mu is such a typical non-my race, his heart must be different, unless the other race has been completely integrated into the Han nationality, otherwise for him, there is nothing that cannot be killed.

As an ancient army, after the killing, the anger will fill the body of the soldiers, and the mind will become simple and tyrannical, and they can only follow the desires of the heart.

At this time, women are the best vents, which can make the soldiers after the killing return to their former sanity as soon as possible.

Li Mu believed that without this order, with the military discipline of Guanning's iron cavalry, there would be no rape and humiliation of women after the capture of Shenyang City.

In the past, he would not have given such an order, but today it is different, and it is a different matter to treat the Jurchens.

"Is there something wrong with that, sir?" Man Gui, who was about to go down and order, stopped, the army of the Ming Dynasty had never been like this, at least the border army of Liaodong that he knew would not do so.

"It doesn't matter." Li Mu kowtowed his horsewhip and said: "Every time the Jurchens invade my Ming border city, they will do such a thing, and this seat is just a tooth for a tooth today." ”

The Jurchens not only did this to the border cities of the Ming Dynasty, but when the Jurchens entered the Central Plains, the scenes and the misery they did will be unfolded on the land of the Central Plains.

The events recorded in history make Li Mu vivid now.

The so-called prosperous Kangqian era is just an illusion that the population of the Central Plains has been greatly reduced because of famine and war, as well as a large number of massacres by the Jurchens.

A paper shaving order came out, how many Han men rolled their heads to the ground, a money rat, insulting the Han family's style, arms and horseshoe sleeves, and calling themselves slaves for three hundred years.

He did not dare to forget, nor could he forget, adhering to the principle that no matter what he did, he had to pay the price, and from now on, it was time for the Jurchens to pay the price for the sins they had committed.

It is impossible to tell Man Gui about this, and there is no need to say that as a superior, there is only one order to go down, and there is no need to explain anything to his subordinates, especially soldiers.

However, Li Mu was not so indifferent that even the Han people in the city were included.

"Man Gui, after entering the city, Guan Ning Tieqi can ride a horse for three days, but there is one thing to keep in mind, that is, the Han family woman can't move a single hair, if anyone dares to move, they will be killed!"

The tone was indifferent, without any life, expressing the resoluteness of this order to Man Gui.

Li Mu, who was riding on the horse, changed his voice, and then said: "However, those Han families who have their hearts towards the Jurchens don't have to scruple, these Han families do not belong to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not within the protection of this seat. ”

Fan Wencheng and his ilk, there is no need to care about life or death, it is impossible for him to protect those Han ministers who have taken refuge in the Jurchens, and this order only protects the Han people who have been plundered by the Jurchens, and those Han people who have become Jurchen cattle and horses.

In Shenyang City, he only cares about these Han people who are cattle and horses, and the life and death of other people are not his concern.

"Whoa." Man Gui received the order, lightly beat his horse down the dirt slope, and ordered the Guanning Iron Cavalry to immediately start the siege of Shenyang City.

...

Under the order of Man Gui, 20,000 Guanning iron horsemen turned over and dismounted, and found linen cloth to wrap the four iron hooves of the war horse, so as to avoid making too much noise when approaching Shenyang City, so that before approaching, the guards of Shenyang City were alarmed in advance.

After tying the horses' hooves, the 20,000 Guanning iron horsemen scattered in all directions, quietly heading towards Shenyang City, three miles away, and surrounded the six city gates according to the order, blocking all the Jurchens who wanted to break through during the attack.

After Man Gui saw that the Guanning Iron Cavalry acted according to the order, he turned around and returned to the Tupo and ordered: "My lord, the Guanning Iron Cavalry has set off according to the order, and it is estimated that in an hour, it will be able to complete the siege of Shenyang City." ”

"Well, that's good." After listening to Man Gui's report, Li Mu nodded, seeing that the time was still early, he pointed at Shenyang City in front of him with a horsewhip and said, "Man Gui, how long do you say it will take for the wolf cavalry guards under this seat to take down the two city gates in front?" ”

Man Gui lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "My lord, if Shenyang City is really as my lord said, the last general thinks that with the help of the night in the way of surprise attack, considering the disadvantage of the wolf cavalry guard is a cavalry, Shenyang City can be broken before dawn." ”

This is still Man Gui in order not to make Li Mu angry, shortened a lot of time, if you tell the truth, without the help of infantry and siege engines, only cavalry, it is a miracle to be able to take Shenyang City in two days.

After all, this Shenyang city has long been not the Shenyang Zhongwei of the Ming Dynasty, but the capital of the Jurchens.

"Why don't we make another bet?" Li Mu didn't agree, nor did he refute, but once again wanted to make a bet with Man Gui.

Will Man Gui be fooled?

No, resolutely not, no matter how you bet, Man Gui feels that it is a sure loss, and now he still owes a few heads, and he doesn't have a second head to bet on.

When he heard it, he bet again, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "The last general doesn't gamble, and the last general will lose to adults again." ”

"Haha." Li Mu laughed, looking at Man Gui's appearance, it seemed that it was impossible to be fooled again, let him relieve his boredom, and then talk about other things.

"Man Gui, have you married?"

"Lord Hui, the last general has been defending the Jurchen invasion in Liaodong for the past few years, and he is in the military camp, where is the time to marry a daughter-in-law." Man Gui replied truthfully, curious, wondering how the adult from the capital in front of him could care about his private affairs.

"Really?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows, he admired Man Gui very much, otherwise he wouldn't just want this guy to come to Shenyang City.

Man Gui was also a loyal and fierce general in history, but it was a pity that in the battle to defend the capital, he died on the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty.

"Do you see Shenyang City in front of you?" Thinking of Man Gui's ending, Li Mu pointed to Shenyang City in the distance and said: "That guy Huang Taiji is not in the city now, but took most of the Jurchen army to fight Chahar, there are only a few Jurchen troops in this city guarding, most of the rest are Jurchen women and children, and there are many concubines of Jurchen nobles. ”

"The last general will thank Lord Xie for the reward." Man Gui stood on the horse and bowed to the body.

Li Mu smiled and quipped: "However, the Jurchen beauty given to you is not for you to be raised in the main room, just be a concubine, the main room is still suitable for our Han family women, gentle, and housekeeper." ”

Man Gui hurriedly replied: "The last general understands. ”

"Man Gui, Man Gui, this surname is rare among Han surnames." Li Mu asked curiously, remembering that it was difficult to make a conclusion about Mangui's nationality in history.

"Lord Hui, the ancestor of the last general is a Mongolian, the surname of the last general comes from the ancestor, and the mother of Man Gui is a Han girl." Man Gui explained that his ancestors can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty, and it is unknown how much Mongolian blood he still has in Hebei since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

The mystery was solved, Li Mu nodded, and proposed: "Why don't you wait until you return to the territory of Daming this time, and ask the Queen Mother to give you a national surname?" ”

In ancient times, the royal family name was a great honor for the courtiers.

Hearing that Li Mu was going to play the imperial court to give the country a surname, which was never imagined, Man Gui said with some excitement: "My lord, Man Gui has not made an inch, and he does not dare to accept this honor." ”

"Yes." Li Mu thought that Man Gui didn't want to change his family name, so he didn't force it too much, and after more than ten years, he didn't know which one was the national surname, so he would talk about it when he had the opportunity in the future.

.....

At this time, the night of the Guanning Iron Cavalry appeared under the dirt slope, indicating that the Guanning Iron Cavalry had completed the siege of Shenyang City.

Man Gui saw that the night under the dirt slope was not collected, and immediately replied: "My lord, I didn't receive it at night." ”

"Hmm." Li Mu said that he heard it, and said to Man Gui beside him: "Man Gui, aren't you speculating that the wolf cavalry guard will not be able to break through the two city gates until dawn, this seat doesn't think so, tonight this seat will let you see the real strength of the wolf cavalry guard." ”

"Let you know that when I was fighting against the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the wolf cavalry guard was just playing a child's game."

Man Gui didn't dare to refute, and said respectfully: "The last general is willing to see the bravery of the wolf guards under the command of the lord." ”

"Okay." After Li Mu laughed, he summoned a wolf cavalry guard under the dirt slope and ordered: "Pass the order, the wolf cavalry guard will launch an attack on Shenyang City." ”

Pointing to the vague Shenyang City in front of him, he said: "Remember, within three quarters of an hour, this seat will see two city gates open, and within half an hour, this seat will get the news that eight city gates are open." ”

"Whoa!" The wolf rider didn't have any mood swings, and went down directly, not seeing Man Gui's surprise when he heard this order.

No wonder Man Gui was surprised, Li Mu asked the wolf cavalry guard to take down the two city gates in three quarters of an hour, this is simply a fantasy, no army in this world can do it, unless the kind of city that flees from the wind, obviously the Shenyang city where the Jurchens are stationed is not.

It's just that he doesn't know that three quarters of an hour also includes the time for the wolf cavalry guards to attack the three miles of Shenyang City, and if the three miles of this attack are broken, Li Mu will say a quarter of an hour.

No matter how surprised Man Gui was, how he didn't believe it, the wolf cavalry guard had already been ordered to carry it out, and he had no right to refute anything, seeing that Li Mu didn't want to listen to the opinions of Shangguan, he could only hope in his heart that the wolf cavalry guard could really do it.

....

Under this thunderous order, the storm launched its strongest offensive towards the peaceful Shenyang City, and the wolf cavalry guard also showed its terrifying killing power for the first time in the Ming plane.

Tonight will be a night of slaughter, and the moon hiding in the clouds will reflect the blood in the city of Shenyang. (To be continued.) )
