The warm wind blows, and the grass and trees sway gently.

August is supposed to be a time of hard work, but the mountains and plains in front of you are only grazing and no farming.

"Hometown at this time...... I can eat sweet and delicious oranges~"

Zhang Shenwu's handsome face flashed with a trace of nostalgia, but it was fleeting with a warm breeze.

Suddenly, his eyes were full of murder, and he waved the cloak outside his battle robe, pulled out his sword and pointed diagonally at the sky.

"Soldiers! Attack with me! Kill Jiannu! Cattle and sheep! ”

"Daming Wansheng!"

More than 100 cavalry of the Ming Army, whose clothes were covered with stains, roared out and launched a surprise attack on Jiannu in front of them.

"Zhang Shenwu! It's Zhang Shenwu!

！ ”

"Run! Run!

！ ”

Jiannu saw that it was the Ming army in this mountain, and knew that it was the terrifying Zhang Shenwu who was the leader, so he was so frightened that he gave up everything, went crazy and whipped the horses and fled.

A small number of Jiannu who fell off the horse in a panic were chased and killed by Zhang Shenwu and others, and the head of the owl was hung on a tree to warn Jiannu.

Insert a wooden sign and write in blood "This is the Ming Kaiyuan Mansion!" ”

As he wrote by his own hand, this is the northern mountainous area of Kaiyuan, thousands of miles away from Yunyang.

Zhang Shenwu and others have been fighting behind enemy lines for half a year.

"General Zhang, this time I have gained a lot~"

With a smile on his face, he pointed to dozens of white goats and two strong black cows that were grazing leisurely.

"Take it back." Zhang Shenwu was outside the battle, and his words became less and less.

His subordinates were still immersed in excitement, and praised Zhang Shenwu: "General Zhang Shenwu, the army of the Jiannu faction can't find us, and the small force can't beat us, and it's unspeakable to be harassed by us in the past half a year~"

Zhang Shenwu still didn't speak, but just looked straight at the direction of the former Kaiyuan Beiguan and now a ruin.

The subordinates were still happy and said: "After all, Jiannu is reluctant to give up such a large piece of land as Tieling and Kaiyuan, and he doesn't dare to farm under our surveillance, but secretly drives cattle and sheep to graze, which is just in time for the New Year~"

"Don't be too happy."

Zhang Shenwu spoke, but at this time, there was no excitement before the attack, and there was almost no emotion in his tone, if he had to say that there was, it could only be a coldness.

"Haha, because there were no dead or injured people, they got a lot of cattle and sheep. The villain Chen Meng has never eaten meat since Kaiyuan was destroyed. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shenwu didn't speak, Chen Meng scratched his head helplessly, thinking that General Zhang Shenwu used to have a loud voice like Meng Zhang Fei, why has he changed his style now?

He was born in the Kaiyuan Guard, was recruited in Quang Ninh, and now has the position of a sentry officer.

In that year, Zhang Shenwu led the Sichuan soldiers into the Tieling Kaiyuan, and after Zhang Shenwu's battalion joined Wang Hongyu, some of them went to the Tieling Kaiyuan Mountains to harass the enemy from time to time.

Chen Mengmeng patted his head, Zhang Shenwu said just now, don't be too happy, that means that the main force of Jiannu is likely to appear, will there be danger?

"General, should we evacuate immediately?"

The handsome and tall Zhang Shenwu still didn't speak, but raised his hand and pointed to the ruins of the former Kaiyuan Beiguan.

"General, it's further north there, and there is a possibility that it will be flanked by Kormi and Jiannu."

"Tomorrow, I'll go there."

Chen Meng hesitated for a moment, but knew that Zhang Shenwu was not only strong in martial arts, repeatedly killed enemy generals, but also very strategic, avoiding reality and attacking in the mountains, and Jiannu had no chance to destroy them in the past six months.

"Yes! Here's the order! ”

Chen Meng immediately sent orders to his comrades-in-arms, and then led people to take away dozens of captured cattle and sheep.

Tomorrow I will go to the area of Kaiyuan Beiguan, and today is the last night of Tieling Kaiyuan.

Zhang Shenwu still looked in that direction, although he had been fighting in the southern mountains before, and had never been to such a distant place, but the principle of fighting in the mountains was the same.

In fact, there are many mountains and forests in the West Liaohe River Basin, and the terrain has grasslands, forests, mountains and plains.

The terrain of Kaiyuan is high in the east and low in the west, with many hilly areas in the north and south, and many mountains in the southeast, which belongs to the branch veins of Changbai Mountain. The western part of the country is low and flat, a part of the alluvial plain of the Qinghe River and the Liaohe River, and the soil is fertile, suitable for cultivation and irrigation.

The central part is a semi-hilly and semi-plain zone. There are 166 large and small rivers such as Liao River, Qing River, Kou River, Chai River and Sha River in the territory, and the water resources are abundant. The whole territory is said to be six mountains, half water and three fields.

The West Liao River flows from Kaiyuan to Tieling, and the terrain in Tieling County is high in the east and low in the west. The east is low mountains and hills, and the west is the alluvial plain of the Liaohe River, and the terrain is flat.

There is a water system of the Liao River running through the north and south, and the water source is relatively abundant.

Kaiyuan and Tieling were important military and trade towns in the Ming Dynasty, which were once very prosperous and were also important grain-producing areas in later generations.

But at this time, the cultivated land has long been deserted, the wild grass is luxuriant, where are the lively markets and good fields?

However, there were dry bones scattered on the side of the road, and they were kicked to the side of the road by passing Hulu Iron Riders.

There are many kinds of fish in the river, and it is easy to catch. This place has become the fish hunting ground of Zhang Shenwu's department, but it is a pity that the Han people have either been slaughtered or have already become the coat of the Jurchens, except for those who did not run.

Only a hundred or so people are hiding everywhere, and now they have carved out a little hidden dwelling deep in the mountains.

After Zhang Shenwu led his subordinates to join them, they were divided into teams to operate in mountains, hills, and plains.

On the one hand, he was secretly developing, and on the other hand, he was looking for a small group of Jiannu to attack, and when he encountered more than 100 Jiannu, he gathered several squads to attack.

In the late spring and early summer, Nurhachi assigned Tieling and Kaiyuan to Zhenglanqi and Hongqi to operate, because the western part of these two places is the impact plain of the Liaohe River Basin, and there are rivers to irrigate it, which is the granary of Liaoning.

At first, under the leadership of the owner, batches of Baoyi went to Tieling and the Liaohe Plain to open up wasteland and farm, driving cattle, sheep, and vehicles to reclaim the land in pieces, completely dividing the entire West Liaohe Plain.

There were a few slave soldiers and family members in each piece, and there were many family members, and the coatings included even more family members.

Mang Gurtai was assigned to the Kaiyuan area, and Daishan's two sons, Yue Tuo and Shuotuo, were assigned to the Tieling area. On the surface, this is Nurhachi's deliberate snub of Mang Gurtai, but in essence, it is to control the red flag.

Tieling is close to Shenyang, and the relationship between Yue Tuo, Shuotuo and his father Daishan is tense, and Nurhachi is determined to completely separate the red flag from Daishan's control and turn it into a flag under his own control.

In the future, it will be handed over to the jurisdiction of Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji will go to the Heilongjiang River valley to conquer the Daur people, and he will not be able to return for the time being; There are other flags in Daishan that take even longer.

At this time, although the Blue Flag and the Red Flag were replenished after the war, each with 4,000 people, the new recruits had not been trained, and less than 3,000 people were really combat-ready.

In order to build their homes, half of the veterans built houses and cleared the wasteland with their families and their families; The recruits who remained in the army, as well as the Mongols who were assigned, were very weak in battle, and scattered to protect them, build houses, and open up wasteland.

Zhang Shenwu organized many attacks, and suffered heavy losses under the blue flag and the red flag. Not only were the slaves and cloths who built houses and cleared the wasteland attacked, but even the army that protected them was beaten badly.
