In the deep, long, silence, the occasional crow sounded.

Through the gaps in the trees, Mao Chenglu held a telescope and looked at the fields and the curling smoke rising from the fortress beyond.

Jiannu was completely defenseless, that's for sure. And he was about to realize the surprise attack behind enemy lines that he had planned for a long time, and Mao Chenglu was a little excited.

The emotions have affected the body, and the fatigue of eating and sleeping in the open and walking through the forest for several days seems to have been reduced by half. Mao Chenglu put down his binoculars and retreated into the depths of the dense forest with a few Ming soldiers.

The Dongjiang Army was expanded to the Fifth Association, and in addition to sufficient troops, Mao Wenlong also put into practice the plan repeatedly mentioned by his adopted son Mao Chenglu.

Although the intention of the promotion is obvious, Gou Zhenhuai and Chen Jisheng also think that this plan is quite feasible. The forces of the Eastern Captives were mainly in Liaodong and Liaonan, and the rear was empty, which was a good opportunity to attack and harass.

Therefore, Mao Chenglu carefully selected 2,000 elites to form a task force from the former association, and secretly went north along the Yalu River with enough dry food.

Then he smuggled into the Changbai Mountains at night, crossed the mountains, sneaked for several days, and arrived at the destination.

According to later maps and names, the place where the task force has now arrived is in the White Mountain area, and the upcoming attack on Sasong is also a small fortress.

Even more excited than Mao Chenglu is Liu San, who is from Liutun near here. He also served as a guide for this surprise attack.

I don't know if I can see the villagers, they must be living miserably under the knife and whip of Jiannu, right?

Liu Qi's heart was churning, and he silently put on his hood and iron mask, filled the musket with ammunition, and loaded the bayonet.

Mao Chenglu has already made arrangements, the fierce lion fights the rabbit, and he will do his best to besiege on all sides, and he is not ready to let go of an enemy.

"Let's go!"

Hearing the officer's order, Liu Qi immediately took action, walked in front of the team, and led his comrades out of the woods along the mountain road.

As the last rays of the setting sun vanished into the sky, several Ming armies walked across the open field and surrounded Shasongpai.

Hundreds of miles away, Chen Jisheng led the Dongjiang Army to climb to the beach and march towards Donggou (later Donggang City).

Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army, personally commanded the Central Association and led his troops to break into Liaodong by boat from the mouth of the Dayang River.

After landing, they even went down to Yanshantun, Loess Tomb, and Xiaodianzi, although they did not have a big record, they moved thousands of Liao people, and continued to advance in depth.

Mao Chenglu went deep behind the enemy to attack and harass, and other troops took active action to respond, coupled with the actions of Lushun's Ming army, almost the entire Liaodong moved.

……………………

Preemptively, before the winter attack of Jiannu, disrupt its deployment, consume its supplies, or at least make it impossible to prepare calmly.

Dongjiang Town proposed, Dengfu Yuan Keli took the lead in contacting, Jinfu Bi Ziyan and Jinglu Xiong Tingbi responded positively, and an unexpected attack and harassment began.

Although according to the communication conditions at that time, it was impossible for the Ming armies to be in step with each other hundreds of miles apart and to be very accurate.

However, Liaozhen and Jinzhen still did their best to launch a coordinated military operation within a time that was not too different.

The garrison of Juehua Island dispatched 3,000 soldiers and horses, led by He Kegang, and broke into the Da Liao River by boat, and landed ashore to attack and harass.

When the Great Liao River area fell into chaos, the Liao people who lived in Hongcaotun, Liuqitun and other five townships 60 miles away from Niuzhuang to Niangniang Palace took the opportunity to defect, and crossed the river west with straw rafts.

Before defecting, the Liao people often booby-trapped or poisoned the Jiannu officers and soldiers. These things were recorded in the Jurchen documents.

For example, the three people of Zhushen (Jurchen) who sat on the stage of Hana Niu Lu were deceived by the Liao people who made friends to kill them at home; Seven Zhushen stationed in a certain place were invited to Liao Min's house to drink medicine and wine, and all of them died......

The brutal rule of the Later Jin over the Han people in the vast area of the Liao River finally provoked a revolt from the Liao people, who could no longer survive in secret. Fleeing is passive, and rising up to fight is an active act to vent anger.

As the ships of Jinzhen broke into Pulandian Bay, and the men and horses landed to occupy Shihe and Thirty Miles Fort, the Jiannu ruling area was already alarmed everywhere and fell into a complete passivity.

It is not clear where is the main attack and where is the feint.

The main reason for Jiannu's passivity is the lag in intelligence, and even the lack of information.

Entering and exiting Daming from Zhangjiakou or Datong, and then making a detour back to Liaodong, is not only time-consuming and dangerous, but also extremely limited in the amount of information obtained. After all, Shanxi businessmen don't know much.

Therefore, Jiannu can probably know the strength of Liaozhen and Dongjiang Army, but he lacks understanding of Dengzhen and Jinzhen, which are in the second line.

It has been almost a year since the new army of the Ming Dynasty was first established, and then gradually to the rectification of various military towns and the change of the military system.

It can be said that this counteroffensive is an outbreak after the long-term accumulation of the new army. The most motivated are the officers who have graduated from martial arts and served in various military towns.

And Jinfu is self-strict, and Yuan Keli is also happy to see it.

spent so much money on the court, and the emperor gave what he wanted. It should also make the emperor happy and happy, knowing that these investments have been used in practice, and they have not been spent in vain.

At the same time, it is also the common purpose of all officers from the governor to the officer to test the training results of the new army under his command and to increase the actual combat experience through combat training.

Moreover, Kennu's contraction strategy along the coast also made it easier to land.

In short, the sudden outbreak of a chaotic attack caused Jiannu to have confusion in cognition and judgment, and he didn't know where to put heavy troops for a while.

If it had been last year, or even at the beginning of the year, Jiannu would not have been so embarrassed.

However, after experiencing the defeat of Fort Arthur and the battles of Manpu, Changcheng, Zhenjiang and other battles, Jiannu has been alert and has a new understanding of the improvement of the combat strength of the Ming army.

Therefore, Jiannu did not dare to send a few thousand men and horses casually, so he arrogantly and confidently believed that he could defeat the incoming enemy.

Dabeile Daishan led the Zhenghong and Red Two Banners, as well as Yue Xu, Sakhalian and other generals, to Gaizhou and Fuzhou to reinforce and attack the Ming army that went north from Fort Arthur to Jinzhou;

The three Belle Mang Gurtai and the Eight Belle Huang Taiji led the blue and white flags to face Mao Wenlong; 2. Belle Amin led the blue flag to face Chen Jisheng; Dorobel Dudu led the white flag to the Liao River.

Although the old slave only had two banners left in his hands, he felt that it was enough. The Ming army in western Liaoning was far away, and it was difficult to cross several rivers to attack and harass.

The strength and combat power of the Ming army in Liaodong have improved, but in Liaodong, they cannot occupy an advantage. Especially in the field, it is still where the confidence of the old slave lies.

But this side of the Liaohe River also has to be guarded against, whether Hudun Rabbit will take action, the old slave is not sure.

The analysis and judgment were correct, but the old slave didn't realize that this was the beginning of the Ming army's advantage, and he missed the task force led by Mao Chenglu.
