"Drive! Drive-"

In the drizzle, the whizzing soldiers and horses rushed through the mountain road from Fengji to Fushun.

On the plain west of the Liangshan Mountain Road, He Shixian, who was waving the banner of the Ming army, also commanded 18,000 horse infantry to run wildly.

Fifteen miles west of He Shixian, the six battalions of soldiers and horses commanded by Yang Wenyue were also pursuing.

Huang Taiji led his troops out of the mountain road and rushed into the hilly terrain south of Fushun, while at the same time, a Ming army could be vaguely seen a few miles to the west.

This place is only fifty miles away from Fushun, and it is only more than seventy miles away from Salhu.

The terrain here is high in the south and low in the north, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and belongs to the mountainous and hilly terrain, although Huang Taiji can also choose to continue to walk the inner mountain road to escape from the battlefield, but those mountain roads obviously cannot go tens of thousands of people.

Huang Taiji glanced at the surrounding terrain, set his eyes on the tall Chengzi Mountain in the south, and then ordered:

"The army first occupies the high ground on the mountain in the south, condescending from the mountain, waiting for the reinforcements of the Great Khan, once the Great Khan arrives with his troops, the whole army will immediately attack from the mountain to the He Shixian Department below the mountain!"

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he immediately led his troops to the foot of the northern slope of Nanshan with Du Du, preparing to climb the mountain from the northern slope, and he calculated the time in his mind.

Two hours had passed since he sent someone to inform Khan Amma, and if nothing else, the army should reach the south of Fengji County, or the southwest and southeast areas.

It only takes about two hours to get here......

What we have to do now is to take advantage of the fact that it is still raining and waiting for reinforcements to eat He Shixian's soldiers and horses.

Only one soldier and horse need to be eaten, and the Ming army will lose all courage, and then continue to exhaust the strength of the Ming army in the sports war, and then it will be able to seek victory.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji, who was riding his horse to Chengzi Mountain, looked up at the sky and prayed in his heart:

"God, let's go down for ten more days, ten days will be enough!"

Ten days is enough to decide the direction of a battle, as long as the heavens appreciate the face, then in these ten days, the artillery of the Ming army is half a waste, even if there is a rain shelter, but the heavy rain on the road is enough to make the artillery fall into the mud.

If the Ming army dares to bring artillery, then after the war, these artillery pieces will become Daikin's trophies!

"General! Jianyu is on the mountain! ”

At the mountain pass, when He Shixian led the army to block the mountain pass, the deputy chief soldier next to him pointed to Huang Taiji and others who were going up the mountain to report.

He Shixian is naturally not blind, not to mention that he still has binoculars of clairvoyance under his eyes.

He picked up the clairvoyance and looked at the mountain, although the clairvoyance made by the Imperial Horse Prison was not as high and accurate as the telescopes of later generations, but it could also provide a lot of information to He Shixian.

"It's to go up the mountain, and it is estimated that I have to learn the trick that the old slave used to attack the general army of Marin."

"This shows that there are reinforcements for this Jianjiao, I look at their banners and armor, this should be Huang Taiji or Du Du's soldiers and horses."

He Shixian put down his clairvoyance and analyzed the battle situation, and at this moment, the Tang cavalry in the rear also rode forward.

Due to the drizzle, the ground was very slippery, and the war horse almost slipped, but Tang Qi quickly turned over and dismounted, which avoided the war horse from falling and hurting.

"The general, the rear Tang cavalry came to report, Yang Wenyue's general army led six battalions of soldiers and horses, from the White Tower, less than fifteen miles away from here!"

"Good! Twelve battalions of soldiers and horses are enough to encircle and suppress this captive. ”

He Shixian shouted hello, and then spoke:

"Ordered the army to camp here, and the Tang cavalry rushed to various mountain roads and the south bank of the Hunhe River, and released the Tang cavalry for thirty miles, and was vigilant against the construction of Fushun to attack inside and outside the city."

"The last general commands!" The adjutant general responded, and then selected thousands of foot ponds and riding ponds from within the army, and explored layer by layer thirty miles away, arranging a team every three miles.

Such an arrangement of the Ming army was naturally under Huang Taiji's nose, but he did not make any moves, but let the army recover its horsepower and wait for reinforcements.

At this moment, the two armies of Ming and Jin were waiting for reinforcements, and half an hour later, the first support of the Ming army arrived first.

The muddy soldiers and horses of the sixth battalion of Yang Wenyue Guizhou arrived at the mountain pass, and in this way, the strength of the mountain pass reached a terrifying number of 36,000.

Yang Wenyue's arrival made Huang Taiji's originally stretched brows furrow at the top of Chengzi Mountain, and even Du Du next to him squinted his eyes and couldn't help but say:

"This is a little bad, there are so many soldiers and horses with just one reinforcement, it seems that those Liao merchants really didn't lie to us, the Ming army really gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong."

"What are we going to do now? Hold back the Ming army? ”

Du Du didn't know how to fight for a while, after all, Dajin only had 40,000 soldiers and horses when he entered Liao this time, even if he added the two Blue Banner soldiers and horses such as Mang Gurtai who were waiting in Fushun early, it was only more than half of 50,000.

Now that the Ming army has just assembled a number of soldiers and horses, it has reached a scale of thirty or forty thousand, and such a scene is no longer a situation that Du Du can control.

Compared to him, although Huang Taiji frowned, he didn't say anything discouraged, that is, in his opinion, the situation can still be controlled.

"The order tells the Great Khan that the Ming army has stationed more than 30,000 troops in the Chengzi Mountain Pass, may I ask if you want to break through now!"

"If you break through, immediately ask Mang Gurtai Belle to lead the troops across the Hun River and meet the army at the Guchengzi Pass."

Huang Taiji was already thinking about retreating, just because in his opinion, there seemed to be no possibility of annihilating the Ming army at the moment.

With his words, Tang rode quickly on the mountain road, and after running on the mountain road for an hour, he successfully met the front army of the Jin army headquarters in the Crooked Head Mountain in the south of Fengji County.

After layers of verification, this Tang cavalry successfully arrived in front of Nurhachi, and made Huang Taiji's original words and the situation in Chengzi Pass clear.

"Great Khan, now you should take the mountain road and withdraw to Fushun."

"Khan Ama, there is no chance now, and it is not impossible to retreat temporarily."

"Great Khan ......"

For a while, many generals of the Jin State opened their mouths to persuade them to retreat, but Nurhachi squinted his eyes and said:

"Nope! Don't withdraw! ”

He dismissed everyone's thoughts, and said directly:

"The Ming army can arrive at the Chengzi Pass in such a fast time and catch up with Huang Taiji, obviously this soldier and horse is mobilized by Shenyang's soldiers and horses, that is, Xiong Tingbi's soldiers and horses."

"Xiong Tingbi's 90,000 troops have been mobilized out of the city, and now more than 30,000 have gathered in the Chengzi Pass, so there are only 50,000 or 60,000 people in his headquarters."

"Pass my order, the army will rest for three hours, and take advantage of the night to release the soldiers and horses from Tangcai to explore Wujing Camp, Zhangyi Station, and Baitapu."

"Tell Huang Taiji again and tell him to hold on for three days, and after three days, Mang Gurtai will lead his troops south and attack the Ming army at Chengzi Pass."

"Yes!" When Tang Qi heard this, he immediately withdrew with people.

At the same time, Hu Erhan and others also sent Tang cavalry to investigate the number of Ming troops in various places according to Nurhachi's words.

Obviously, the tactics of dividing the Ming army have been completed, and the Jin army seems to have fallen into the upper hand and is being pressed step by step, but in fact it has already grasped the initiative on the battlefield.

At present, on the battlefield in northern Liaoning, in addition to Hong Chengchou's department, which is marching to attack Weining Camp Fort, Nurhachi's soldiers and horses are already the largest number of soldiers and horses in the battlefield of northern Liaoning.

This is the "Art of War" in the "Art of War" "Therefore, those who are good at fighting will cause people but not others." ”

To put it simply, it is a good fighter, good at mobilizing the enemy, not being mobilized by the enemy.

Let the enemy come to me, I will play at home, and the enemy will fight away, so that I will wait for work, and the enemy will immediately engage in battle after a long run, which will inevitably be disadvantageous.

Almost all the generals on the battlefield in Liaodong have read this sentence in "The Art of War", but they were invisibly mobilized by Nurhachi, because Nurhachi took advantage of the "greedy merit" nature of the Ming army to lure them there.

In other words, the two white flags of Huang Taiji and Du Du, tens of thousands of people, are just bait.

With the actions of tens of thousands of people, Xiong Tingbi's department, which originally had 90,000 troops, was divided in various parts of northern Liaobei, and finally created a favorable military advantage for Nurhachi himself.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

Being in the game, it is difficult to detect, this is the ability to mobilize enemy generals.

Even though Zhu Youzhen and Xiong Tingbi discussed this issue repeatedly, they still fell into the scheme.

No one can see the battle situation from God's perspective, which is why Zhu Youzhen chose a place far away from the battlefield.

Because only in this way can he better analyze the battle situation, and this analysis will also be delayed due to the transmission of information on the movement of troops and horses.

Therefore, when Man Gui led his troops to the expedition, he also moved from Guangning with Lu Wenzhao's thousands of cavalry and settled in Xiping Fort west of the Liao River......

"Your Highness! The 30,000 soldiers and horses of the old slave headquarters in northern Liaobei lost their traces, and Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of Liaoyang, reported that he suspected that the old slave took the mountain road to Fengji. ”

"Your Royal Highness, He Shixian's general army led the troops to intercept the Jianyu in Chengzi Mountain, and the person who commanded the army should be Du Du and Huang Taiji."

"Your Highness and Yang Wenyue's general troops arrived at Chengzi Mountain Pass at six o'clock yesterday (18:30)."

"Your Highness, Xiong Tingbi led the nine battalions of troops and arrived at the Chengzi Pass at four o'clock (20 o'clock) last night."

"Your Highness, after four o'clock last night, Zhang Yi Station, Baitapu and other places found Jin Juntang Cavalry."

"Your Highness, at seven o'clock last night (1:45), an army of old slaves was found in the south of Fengji Fort, numbering no less than 30,000."

"Your Highness......"

In the garrison of Xiping Fort, listening to the reports of Jinyiwei and the Tang cavalry from all over Liaoshen, Zhu Youzhen's brows became tighter and tighter, and in front of him was a battlefield in northern Liaobei with scattered banners, as well as Jin soldiers and horses with banners concentrated in two places.

"Still unknowingly mobilized......"

Zhu Youzhen clenched his fists and propped himself up in front of the sand table, his thoughts racing.

From the current point of view, the only thing Nurhachi may have misjudged is the soldiers and horses of Xiong Tingbi's headquarters.

Therefore, when Xiong Tingbi's soldiers and horses arrived at the Chengzi Pass, the number of soldiers and horses of the Ming army in the Chengzi Pass reached 63,000.

The white tower shop was garrisoned by Qi Jin's Zhejiang soldiers, with a number of 27,000.

The garrison of Zhangyi Station was 3,000, while Sun Yingyuan's headquarters was 16,000, totaling nearly 20,000 people.

The Wujing battalion was defended by Zhang Jixian, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, stationed two battalions of soldiers and horses, plus Wu Aheng's four battalions, a total of 18,000 people in six battalions.

Liaoyang had three battalions of Liao soldiers and more than 6,000 remnants of Lu Qin's defeated and retreated army, totaling 15,000 people.

In addition, Fengji County also has two battalions of 6,000 people under Yang Zhaoji, and one battalion of soldiers and horses in Hupiyi, Wicker Village, Wang Darentun and other places.

But the road of Tiger Skin Station, Wicker Village, and Lord Wang is a dead end, and it is impossible for Nurhachi to go.

Zhu Youzhen only felt that his brain power was being consumed rapidly, and he even felt a headache caused by some brain power deficit in high-speed operation.

"It's really time to set up a staff earlier......"

Zhu Youzhen exhaled a turbid breath, and then continued to analyze the situation on the battlefield.

For now, there are still two parts of the Ming army that are much higher than Nurhachi's headquarters, namely the Chengzi Pass of Xiong Tingbi's three divisions, and Hong Chengchou's three divisions, which are attacking Weining Yingbao.

"He wants to move, why should I follow his move?"

"If he dares to attack the county town, he will send troops to encircle and suppress him, if he doesn't attack the county town, he only needs to hold the Taizi River and the Hunhe River, and wait for Man Gui to lead the troops to encircle and suppress him."

Zhu Youzhen's mind flashed, and then he said to the brocade guard outside the door:

"Send Tang Qi, eight hundred miles to rush to ask Hong Chengchou and Qin Bangping about the movements of the two troops and horses!"

"If they have already laid down Weining Camp Fort and Soda Field Fort, tell them to continue the march, recover the eastern section of the Great Wall, recapture the Yahu Pass, send a road of soldiers and horses to attack Hetuala, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will divide their troops into two ways and continue to go north on the mountain road, and capture the land of one county, one city and eight forts inside and outside the Great Wall!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu on duty immediately sent Tang cavalry, and when they changed horses without changing people, they hurried to the third and fourth routes of soldiers and horses in eastern Liaodong.

There are a total of 34 battalions of soldiers and horses on the two routes, with more than 103,000 people.

As long as the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the old slave are dragged for ten days, then Fushun, Salhu City, and the eight stone forts will be taken, and then there will be more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the north of Nurhachi, and there will be fortified cities and cannons in the south.

Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to be mobilized by Nurhachi, he wants to transfer Nurhachi!

If the Liaodong Ming army keeps fighting in Nurhachi's rhythm, it will always give Nurhachi a chance to break through one by one.

Although 100,000 to 300,000 sounds incredible, there are too many examples in history of fighting more and overturning less.

"You have to get the rhythm right!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen's face became gloomy, and his gaze also looked in the direction of eastern Liaodong......

"Keep up, keep up!"

"With such a mountain road, how can it be difficult to pass my children in Sichuan?!"

"Work hard, after this battle, let's apply with His Highness to transfer troops back to Sichuan, return to my hometown, and have a daughter-in-law who is alone among you!"

When Nurhachi was still seeking opportunities in the Liaoshen Plain, and when Zhu Youzhen still wanted to regain control of the rhythm, on the mountain road from Kuandian to Gushan Fort, 20,000 children of Sichuan and 12,000 children of thistle soldiers were galloping.

Rain? Collapsed mountain roads? So what? Kuandian's artillery has long been transported to Gushan Fort, and all the barricades are to be stepped on!

Since yesterday afternoon, when the news of Nurhachi's departure to Qinghe Fort and the capture of Weining Yingbao reached Kuandian, Qin Bangping immediately ordered his troops, taking his sister-in-law Qin Liangyu, younger brothers Qin Banghan and Qin Minping, as well as his nephews and nephews-in-law Qin Gongming, Qin Yiming, and Zhang Fengyi, including Qi Yuangong of Zhenjiang, led an army of 420,000 and set off from Kuandian.

At this moment, under the furious rush of a day and a night, they have run a hundred and fifty miles.

They had nothing on them except for men and armor.

Artillery, rifles, gunpowder, stone bullets, grain, beans and other materials have already been transported to Gushan Fort.

In other words, for now, you only need to arrive at Gushan Fort, and after a short rest, you can wait for the news of the Third Route Army to set off and recapture the Great Wall in the eastern section of Liaodong!

Braving the drizzle, everyone could feel that the rain was getting lighter and lighter, and this time was undoubtedly good news for the Ming army.

Once the rain stopped, the firearms of the Ming army would no longer be restricted, and in the face of the firearms of the Ming army, Jianyu could only be defeated.

Now what Qin Bangping and they have to do is to lay down the Raven Pass before the rain stops, and then run for another forty miles, and they can reach the city of Hetuala!

Qin Bangping didn't know that the military order to change the target with Zhu Youzhen was being sent, so they were running for their lives.

For the more than 20,000 Sichuan soldiers who have been fighting in the southwest for two years, their speed can be said to have made the seven battalion thistle soldiers stationed in a place like Kuandian for three years dumbfounded.

Rao is they gritted their teeth, spread their feet and ran, and they couldn't catch up with the Sichuan soldiers at all, and they could always see that the last soldier of the Sichuan soldiers was a hundred steps ahead of them.

However, this also aroused their fighting spirit, and everyone mustered up all their strength to catch up, until the lonely mountain fort in the distance was already close to the end of the road, and the seven battalions of thistle soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not a loss that the soldiers and horses in the southwest have been tempered for two years, and they are actually faster than the thistle soldiers we trained!"

"Twelve hours, a hundred and fifty miles in the heavy rain and mountains galloped over the mountains, and this speed is enough to be praised......"

At the head of Gushan Fort, Qi Yuangong and Qi Yuanfu couldn't help but laugh happily when they looked at the appearance of friendly troops coming.

The Sichuan soldiers are adapted to mountain warfare, which means that it is more likely to take the Raven Pass and Hetuala.

"Open the city gate, the three battalions of soldiers and horses in the city go to the military camp outside the north city gate to rest, and give the military camp and houses in the city to the friendly army to rest!"

Qi Yuangong turned his head sideways and instructed the general of Gushan Fort next to him, and Qi Yuanfu also commanded:

"The rain shelter is ready, the grass on the gunpowder must be covered thick enough, and the cotton and dry cloth for wiping the artillery must be counted, and I would rather have more than less."

"The last general commands!" The general responded, and then retreated from the horse road on the city wall.

Seeing this, Qi Yuangong also said: "Go, go down to the city gate to welcome General Qin." ”

"Haha, okay!" Qi Yuanfu also smiled heartily, and then the two of them took their own soldiers down the city wall.

At this time, Qin Bangping also led the army and walked across the stone arch bridge built by Qi Yuangong and them, and then led the army to the city gate, and said to Qi Yuangong and others at the back gate of the stone city bridge:

"The two little generals have been waiting for a long time."

"Where is General Qin, I thought that the general would arrive in the evening at the earliest, but I didn't want to arrive in the afternoon!"

Qi Yuangong did not hesitate to praise, and Qin Bangping also glanced at the army behind him and smiled with satisfaction.

"Brother, let the soldiers enter the city first."

At this time, Qin Liangyu, who rode from the Chinese army, suggested to Qin Bangping, and when Qin Bangping heard this, he also nodded and said:

"Nephew Qi Xian, let the army enter the city first."

"This is natural, the city has prepared a place to stay, and three hundred pigs and thousands of chickens and ducks have been slaughtered, just waiting for the army to enter the city." Qi Yuangong made a gesture of please, and Qin Bangping was not polite, and immediately commanded the army to enter the city to rest.

However, after the command, Qin Bangping also took Qin Liangyu and other Qin generals to come forward and ask:

"Isn't there any news from the Third Route Army?"

"I'm also strange about this, it stands to reason that it is only more than 130 miles from Liaoyang to Weining Yingbao, with more than 50,000 troops and more than 500 artillery pieces, even if the heavy rain washes down the road, it will not be so slow." Qi Yuangong also opened his mouth suspiciously.

"Maybe it's the old slave who left a lot of soldiers and horses in Weining Camp Fort." Qi Yuanfu comforted the uneasy emotions of the group.

"It's better not to wait for the Third Route Army, let's rest for the night, and tomorrow we will directly kill the Alkali Field Fort and break the Raven Pass!"

Qin Gong in the crowd opened his mouth suddenly, but Qin Bangping frowned and said:

"No, Your Highness said that as soon as Sarhu was defeated, he was defeated by the discord of the armies, and we must not make such a mistake again."

"That being said, the rain is getting lighter and lighter, and if we can't take the Raven Pass and threaten Hetuara before the rain stops, it won't be a good thing." Qin Yiming also sighed in response.

It's just that their views have fallen into disadvantage.

No one knows better than Qin Bangping and Qi Jin, Man Gui, Sun Yingyuan and the other four people on what they relied on to get promoted so quickly.

Is it by merit? Don't laugh anymore......

Before aiding Liao, the four of them together were not as good as He Shixian's beheading of Jianyu, but they forcibly took the position of He Shixian's Shenyang commander-in-chief.

It's not about merit, it's about relationships.

As for whose relationship? Obviously, this goes without saying.

If it weren't for the promotion of His Royal Highness King Qi, they would probably be just marginal figures with only two or three battalions of soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Qin Bangping knew that it was not important whether he was defeated or not, what was important was to complete the task arranged by His Royal Highness King Qi.

As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the other party, you can be created even if you have no merit.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Bangping knows that there is only one thing he has to do, and that is to do whatever the King of Qi asks him to do.

After the King of Qi fought the first battle in Liaodong, what he wanted to do was already known to officials and officials all over the world.

In one go, the Tianxia Guards were abolished, and then recuperated.

If you want to abolish the world's guards, you can't just talk about it, you have to mobilize troops and horses to deter localities, just like the previous times.

Therefore, the removal of the guard in the southwest will inevitably use Sichuan soldiers.

Qin Bangping has been away from home for three years, and as he gets older, it is normal for him to be homesick.

What he hopes most now is that after the battle of Liaodong, he will ask the King of Qi to transfer him back to Sichuan to dismantle the guards.

Even if he can only go home for a year or two, and then he has to bring troops out, then he is willing.

"Drive!"

"Drive-"

Suddenly, just when Qin Bangping was still thinking about going home, three horses rushed out of the city of Gushan Fort, their bodies were full of mud spots, and there were traces of blood on their stomachs.

The three of them turned over and dismounted, and said to Qi Yuangong and Qin Bangping and the others:

"Generals! Hong Bing Beidao has led the army to recover Weining Camp Fort, Hong Bing Beidao ordered to bring words, tomorrow when the third road army along the Taizi River north, three days later arrived at the base field fort. ”

"At that time, if the alkali field fort cannot be taken, the two armies should take the alkali field fort, break a wall fort, Qinghe fort, take the Yahu Pass, and approach Hetuala."

"Hahaha...... It's underestimated! Hearing Tang Qi's words, many generals burst into laughter.

"That's it, Old General Qin, it seems that we will really have troops tomorrow morning." Qi Yuangong looked at Qin Bangping with a smile, and Qin Bangping also stroked his three-inch short beard and said with a smile:

"Before sunset tomorrow, we must take the alkali field fort and wait for the Hong soldiers to enter the city to rest!"
