The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 270
Tongyuan Fort was originally called Zhenyi Fort.

Built in the former Ming Dynasty, it is located between Zhenjiang and Liaoyang. There is also a Zhenyi Fort in Changtu, so Dazhou was renamed Tongyuan Fort.

Because it is in the middle of the mountains, it is difficult to build, the repair is not large, there are no piers, and it is extremely difficult to transport materials.

Therefore, Tongyuan Fort originally had less than a hundred soldiers.

It belongs to the most outpost of Fengcheng.

Deng Xing was originally a military household in Youtunwei, Guangning, and was called into the Donghai Camp.

Stand out from hundreds of people, fight bravely and be promoted all the way.

Now he is the general guarding Fengcheng, controlling the surrounding Xielie Fort, Xin'an Fort, Tongyuan Fort, Qingtai Fort and other military forts.

There are more than [-] troops in total.

Waiting for the people from Zhenjiang to laboriously transport the supplies to the mountains, he frowned and only led 2000 people.

After a day of repairing in Tongyuan Fort, we continued to climb mountains and mountains on the second day.

There are many mosquitoes in the mountains.

It was cold at night and hot during the day, and the soldiers could not wear armor, so it was extremely difficult to march.

It rained lightly in the middle of the night.

The ground in the camp was wet with rain and turned into mud.

Not only did the temperature not turn cold, but it became more and more stuffy, making it difficult to breathe.

"Damn it."

Deng Xing cursed, took off his clothes and wrung them, sweating a lot like a wet towel.

I saw many soldiers with bare arms, and they kept waving their hands to drive away mosquitoes, but the mosquitoes only circled around people.

The sergeant looked tired, but he didn't reprimand him.

"Camp is closed today."

The soldiers passed on Deng Xing's military orders.

After hearing the general's military order, the soldiers showed a relaxed expression.

The mountain road was originally difficult to walk, but now it has rained lightly, making it even more impossible to walk, and I dare not walk on flat ground, let alone mountain roads.

If one is not careful, slips and falls down the mountain, there will be no bones left.

Deng Xing recruited the military attache to discuss the next military affairs.

in the tent.

Because it was too stuffy, the curtains of the tent were all opened, and the mosquitoes rushed in like crazy, and they were helpless and tightly covered.

Either choose the sweltering heat, or choose to be bitten by countless mosquitoes, anyway, it is uncomfortable.

Four commanders, plus Deng Xing.

The five of them were naked with only their trousers on, without the majesty of a general.

But it doesn't matter if the door is closed anyway.

"How to fight next?"

Deng Xing asked.

Several generals lowered their heads and did not respond.

Deng Xing saw it in his eyes and knew that he couldn't get any good ideas, so he became even more depressed.

Last year, the barbarians launched a large-scale mobilization, gathering 20 troops, plus Shen Liao's left behind troops, it can be said that they came out of nowhere.

Therefore, the Jinjiang army made a big move, taking advantage of the trend to regain Fengcheng, which is close to Zhenjiang and far away from Shenliao, and the surrounding forts.

After Fengcheng was captured, Tongyuan Fort was also occupied.

But for the Lianshan Pass built in the Pingding Mountain in the north of the Changbai Mountains in Liaozuo, which is farther away, Jinjiang Town is unable to take it.

One is that the supplies are too far away, the other is that the terrain is too dangerous, and the third is that there are thousands of troops stationed here.

Pingdingshan, Anpingshan, etc. are connected together, with Lianshan Pass and Tianshui Fort as the core, and Shubao Pass is built.

It is the gateway of Liaoyang.

One man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it.

Lianshan Pass deserves this praise.

Even if Lianshan Pass is filled with human life, it will not fill the mountain.

As for the Hongyi cannon, the sharp weapon of Jinjiang Town's siege, it couldn't play a role either.

Not to mention the solidity of this pass, there are only hundreds of miles of mountains, and several of them need to be climbed, and the Hongyi cannons cannot be transported in at all.

So after Deng Xing received the military order, he kept frowning.

There was some delay in marching all the way, and food was consumed for nothing.

Because he can't fight.

"Snapped."

Deng Xing slapped another mosquito to death. Looking at the blood on his hand, he felt distressed and angry, and waved his hand impatiently.

"Go away."

……

Two thousand soldiers, although the distance between the two places is only more than a hundred miles, the mountain road is not easy to walk. I don't know when the mountain road was built and has not been repaired for many years, and it has long been damaged.

After twists and turns, it took eight or nine days to arrive at Lianshan Pass.

The guards at Lianshanguan discovered the Jinjiang Army. This is an important defensive area on the front line, so the guards are heavily guarded and the gates are closed.

Deng Xing saw that he couldn't take advantage of it.

After sending troops to test for two rounds, they gave up their willingness to continue the attack.

Even if he has tens of thousands of people in that narrow passage, it will not be able to play a role, and it is useless to fill it with human life.

In a short checkpoint, less than a hundred people are needed to kill and injure a large number of people by relying on the gable wall.

Even a wheel battle is helpless.

As for wanting to consume the materials of Konglianshanguan, it is also wishful thinking.

Others can get supplies continuously in the rear.

Why are the barbarians unwilling to invest energy in the Changbai Mountains, because the Changbai Mountains are not enough for military use, and it is difficult to operate.

Although the place is big, it is useless.

Instead, defending Lianshan Pass, and being close to Liaoyang, it is easy to obtain supplies, while Jinjiang Town's attack on Lianshan Pass requires supplies to be transported from mountain roads hundreds of miles away.

Even in the worst ending, Lianshan Pass is gone, there is still Tianshui Fort, and Tianshui Fort is gone, and there is Ping An Mountain.

The barbarians are absolutely happy for Jinjiang Town to attack these places.

It can consume a large amount of food and grass in Jinjiang Town.

Hundreds of miles to the west of Lianshanguan is Haicheng after the mountains. Among them, there are three Guangda Rivers to cross, and there are many small streams.

To the east is Pingdingshan, which is dangerous and cannot be climbed.

"Bang bang bang."

A group of Jinjiang troops shot up at the foot of the mountain.

The sound of the blunderbuss resounded and echoed far away in the mountains, and it was of no use at all.

The condescending barbarians took advantage of the situation to shoot arrows up and down, but they could easily hit the Jinjiang army. The previous Jinjiang army came to try and climb the city wall.

The barbarians were too lazy to burn oil, and easily stabbed several people to death with long hooks, repelling the Jin Jiang army's attack.

Jin Jiang's army wanted to collect the corpses, but the barbarians would not let them succeed. As long as anyone approached, they would shoot and kill the people under the city.

Deng Xing looked angry and helpless.

The sergeants of the Jinjiang Army were withdrawn, and this time they didn't even send anyone to harass them.

Several days passed.

When the supply team arrived, the same people turned their backs on their backs and came completely by manpower. The grain transport officer saw that Deng Xing only set up camp and did not attack.

"This is?"

He was full of surprise.

Deng Xing told him about the useless efforts of the past few days, and the grain transport officer also had some military knowledge.

Hearing this, he sighed.

"The general still expects us to involve the barbarian army, but I think he thinks highly of us."

Deng Xing was displeased with the words of the grain transport officer.

But even though he was furious earlier, he didn't raise troops to continue the attack, and the grain transport officer's two unpleasant words couldn't encourage him either.

If you can't fight, you can't fight.

All 2000 people died, and they didn't get the slightest benefit.

Deng Xing will not do this business.

On the contrary, the words of the food transport officer made Deng Xing make a decision, and he withdrew his troops.

"I'm afraid the general will blame me."

The generals under his command did not dare to retreat, with worried expressions on their faces.

"If you can't fight, it will be a waste of food and grass.

You have also seen how difficult it is to transport food and grass, relying on people's backs, it takes a lot of manpower and can't transport much.

There were not many supplies, but most of them were used on the road.

This is in line with the wishes of the barbarians, I will not be fooled, the general blames me, and I will bear it all. "

The chief general said so, and the rest no longer objected.

Two thousand soldiers came to Fengcheng from various places, and from Fengcheng to Lianshan Pass, plus the time of confrontation, it took more than a month to go back and forth.

There are not many sergeants, but thousands of civilians were employed.

Very strong capacity, hundreds of miles of mountains, not even a part of it has been used.

Although the scale is small, the consumption is large.

……

Deng Xing took the initiative to withdraw from the army, and at the same time sent someone to inform Jinzhou.

Upon hearing the news of Deng Xing's return to the army, Li Bosheng, who was stationed in Zhenjiang, also sent someone to Jinzhou to report that Deng Xing had withdrawn from the army.

The military situation of the two places reached Jinzhou on both front and rear feet.

Tang Qing'an, having received Deng Xing's military information, even blamed him for arbitrarily calling the shots, but couldn't bear to blame him.

"I only hoped for his containment, but listening to his words, the containment didn't work, and we can't completely blame him. In the end, it was because of our poor planning.

On the contrary, he was so decisive, which actually reduced our consumption, which shows that he still used his thoughts. "

Xie Youcheng took the initiative to take responsibility.

listen.

Tang Qing'an took advantage of the situation and put down his thoughts of punishing Deng Xing.

Not only Deng Xing's place, but also the other places have no effect.

The Changbai Mountains are not only a barrier for Jinjiang Town, but also a barrier for the barbarians in the Shenliao area. Sometimes it is beneficial, and sometimes it is disadvantageous.

Whoever attacks is at a disadvantage.

Everywhere is used to contain the energy of the barbarians, and it depends on Yingkou in the end.

"How about the recent military situation in Yingkou?"

Xie Youcheng shook his head.

"The military situation is too messy, there is no good news on the whole, and there are constant casualties, and none of them has benefited."

If they didn't get any benefits, then Jinjiang Town failed.

It turned out that Li Shenghu was in charge of Yingkou. He was transferred to Jinzhou, so Zheng Gang, the military commander, was released.

"Go and tell Zheng Gang, I'm counting on him now."

Xie Youcheng had heard Zheng Gang's name before.

Not a good name.

After all, everyone in Jinjiang town knew about his troubles before, and later he was transferred to the military academy as an instructor for two years, and then worked in the military division for another half a year.

Therefore, Xie Youcheng knew it very well.

Greatly changed the original impression.

This person has a flexible mind and is good at seizing opportunities on the battlefield.

"Hopefully he will surprise you."

Things on the battlefield have come to the point of relying on luck, Tang Qing'an no longer expects extravagantly.

"Since the purpose of containment cannot be achieved, let the rest of the troops retreat and supply the camp with all their strength, so as to harass the barbarian food road."

Xie Youcheng took the order and led the military commander to readjust the plan.

Changing the order is easy.

But changing the destination of the mobilization of civilians, the transportation of food, and the adjustment of military strength all require careful planning.

Tang Qing'an recorded the recent damage to Jinjiang Town in detail and sent it to the imperial court as a memorial.

The imperial court should not count on Jinjiang Town.

He was not afraid that the court would blame him, but what he was worried about was that the court was still counting on him, which delayed Jinzhou.

When a good person does a bad thing, thousands of people will blame him.

When a bad person does a good deed, thousands of people praise him.

Jinjiang Town sends good news to the imperial court every year. This year there is no good news, only war damage. I don't know what the imperial court will think of him.

I feel a little aggrieved.

Because he had guessed the court's dissatisfaction with him next.

Yellow mud rolled crotch.

In the current situation, Jin Jiangzhen has such a result. It is difficult for anyone not to guess maliciously that Jin Jiangzhen did this on purpose.

Suddenly, I thought of Qingwen, who had been getting more and more eccentric recently.

She in the Red Mansion.

Among the maids, she is the most beautiful, but extremely self-denying. Although Baoyu spoils her, she never seduces Jia Baoyu.

Xiren was originally entrusted by Mrs. Wang to take care of Jia Baoyu, but secretly flirted with Jia Baoyu.

By comparison, it can be seen that Qingwen is innocent.

But he was obviously an innocent person, but he was expelled for the reputation of seducing men.

Think here.

The people around Qingwen were all newly transferred, and Tang Qing'an missed her a little.
