Samsung went south.A gloomy moonlight sprinkled from the sky to the earth, shining on the ruined walls of the dilapidated city, through the moonlight, one can roughly see the stone carvings on the dilapidated Ximen tower, the words "Xipingbao Lingyuan Gate", which is about [-] meters long on each side. Yu Bu's city was Xiping Fort, which was known as the most tragic during the Guangning War.

The fort is adjacent to the Sancha River and is an important point for water and land transportation.

Because 13 large, medium and small rivers such as the Liaohe River and the Daliaohe River flow through the vicinity and enter the sea in Liaodong Bay, the area is dotted with large and small pits, ditches, and swamps. The sky is on the ground.

The reeds all over the sky are a paradise for animals, and countless lives come here to escape the flames of war from humans dozens of miles away.With the actions of the large group of people, the birds and unknown small animals hiding in the reeds were alarmed, especially the river was full of fish, and when the people and horses marched in the river, silver carp, carp, etc. bumped into their legs from time to time.

The sky was getting brighter. Although a servant was carefully leading the horse, hunched over, and trekking carefully in the river, there were still splashes of water from time to time, and the cold river water seeped into the iron mesh boots, soaking the underwear. Mako felt an uncomfortable feeling of bathing in clothes.

There is cold water splashing under the feet, and all kinds of mosquitoes come up to bite in groups from time to time on the face. The humidity and sultriness in the reed field is precisely the paradise of these little insects.Seeing this group of foreign intruders breaking in, they were immediately attracted by the smell of sweat and began to bite crazily.

The feet are soft and unstable, sometimes they step on sand and stones, sometimes they step on mud, and some damn fish bump into them in a daze.Occasionally, an unknown and invisible small animal rushed through the gap between people's legs and feet, causing people to cry out in surprise.

"Pass down the order, don't speak! Who dares to make a sound. I will bury him here immediately!" Ma Ke gave orders to the servants in front and behind the queue majesticly.But in my heart I kept regretting, I knew the situation here was such a situation, why did I rush to join the Cantonese barbarian to the rear of Jiannu to spy on the military situation?

"Marshal. The brothers in front have already gone ashore with the members of the Model Brigade. Our brothers came to spread the word. Mr. Wu said that the brothers are all stationed at Xiping Fort."

Hearing that we are going to walk out of the reed beach soon, everyone's spirits are lifted, and finally they don't have to be bitten by mosquitoes anymore!Someone cheered in a low voice, but was whipped twice without thinking by the leader of the servant!

It was inevitable that everyone was not careful. At this time, everyone was in the section of the Sancha River near Xipingbao, just behind Jiannu, near the road from Guangning to Shenyang.It is the place where the brigade of Tartars haunts.Those sentinels who built slaves were mostly hunters in the white mountains and black waters, and they were also used to lurking at night, especially if they brought more hunting dogs, they were even more powerful.

Those hounds with Xing'an dog blood have a keen sense of smell and sharp ears, and the Sentinel and Yebushou of the Ming army have suffered from this many times.They smelled the scent of men and horses, and they immediately barked, and groups of fine Tartar cavalry came after them.

After a pause, the brigade walked from the reed beach to the hard ground one after another.Immediately, the feet felt a lot easier, and the feeling of being down-to-earth made people march faster.

Several servants in the rear of the team kept taking out some white and yellowish powder particles from the cloth bags they carried on the sides and tail of the team and sprinkled them on the ground.It was the prickly ash pepper and other things bought from Nanzhong merchants at a high price to deal with those damned hounds.Grind it into powder, and use these spicy and stimulating things to deal with the hound's sense of smell.

The men and horses galloped quickly into the dilapidated city wall of Xiping Fort. Here, Wu Biao had already ordered people to dig out the pots and stoves, and started to boil water for cooking.

"General Wu, now we are behind the Tartars, what about you?" Ma Ke ignored the fact that his feet were wet and extremely uncomfortable, and his life was at stake. He pointed at dozens of cauldrons and happily licked the bottom of them The flames were a little startled.

Once the fireworks attracted the attention of Jiannu ranger sentries.I have to explain all of my more than a thousand people.

"Marshal Ma, don't be too cautious, we will definitely not see the fireworks in the distance!"

An officer of the model brigade of Sichuan origin showed off to Ma Ke quite proudly.

Wu Biao glanced at the officer.But he didn't say much, just drank hot water and watched the Huotou army not far away nervously packing up the fish, shrimp and various prey they caught along the way.

Ma Ke just sat next to Wu Biao.He was also gulping down the boiled water, but a few generals followed his wink and went to Huotoujun to inquire about the secret of the pot.

This pot stove is actually very simple in the eyes of the group of experienced veterans under Marko's family. After hearing the bragging and showing off of those fire leaders, it is immediately clear.

"Site selection should be concealed and ventilated. If there is no ventilation, there will be smoke everywhere. The main flue and branch flue should be dug well. The main flue should be one or two. The more branch flues, the longer and more dispersed the better. It is best to use wet branches Ah, sod covered."

"First, a large pit about two feet deep should be dug, and then a small pit should be dug next to it. This large pit should be as convenient as possible for users to add fuel such as firewood to the small pit next to it. Dig a smaller hole about one foot away, then penetrate the two holes from the bottom, pile all the excavated soil around the first hole, and tap it firmly to prevent the fire from leaking out. In the direction of the second hole Then extend and dig at least three flues, each of which is about half a foot deep and about a foot long, then press the pot on the second hole and fill the sides with soil, and use branches, straw, etc. on the flue Cover it with things, cover it with soil, conceal the flue according to the method of dense and sparse sides of the pot, put the firelight from the bottom of the first pit into the second pit, add firewood, and cook."

"After the work is done, withdraw the branches on the flue and put them into the No. [-] pit, fill in the soil next to it and step on it, fill up the flue, and then find some new soil or vegetation from the side to restore its original appearance, and then evacuate."

Several firehead soldiers enthusiastically introduced the excavation method of this smokeless stove to the friendly army.Hearing Ma Ke's subordinates, they couldn't help secretly sighing, no wonder the Model Brigade and the Nanyue Army were able to survive a hundred battles. At this moment, there is knowledge everywhere!It is also as simple as burying a pot to make a meal, and it is more advanced than other Ming armies.If it wasn't for this sentry mission, I'm afraid I would never know how to bury the pot to cook in the enemy's rear, I'm afraid I can only drink cold water and eat cold and hard pancakes.

When you are cold and hungry, a warm soup can give you more than you think.These veterans have a deep understanding of this.

Drink hot, spicy and fresh fish soup.While chewing large chunks of fat fish and shrimp, the officers and soldiers of the two ministries broke apart the flatbread they carried with them and put it into the hot soup, eating it with admiration.In this late autumn in Liaodong.Being able to eat such a hot meal in this wilderness has exceeded many people's expectations.

Drinking hot soup.After declining the shochu that Ma Ke handed over, and hearing Ma Ke and his subordinates' praise for the smoke-free stove, Wu Biao's thoughts drifted away.well!I don't know what happened to Mr. Chen Tianhua, who taught the brothers in Guangdong to dig this smokeless stove.According to the businessmen who came and went, he and Liao Dongzhi brothers are now commanders, leading a town of soldiers and horses.Even though brother Liuqi is still a brigade commander, his troops already number as large as a town.

"If I hadn't voted for the imperial court by mistake, would I be the governor now?"

Suddenly.Such an idea popped up in Wu Biao's mind.

However, Wu Biao immediately strangled this idea in his mind.

After a rich meal in the field, the soldiers of the two divisions took a break, and many of them hid in places facing the wind and sun to smoke and bask in the sun.

The sentry cavalry who were waiting to go out to spy did not take the time to inquire about the news at night. Wu Biao listened to Ma Ke introduce him the past of Xiping Fort, the artillery killing that this castle experienced during the Guangning War.

"If you want to talk about Luo Yiguan and Qi Bingzhong back then, they were both famous men!" Pointing to the dilapidated city wall, Wu Biao, who was talking about the broken city wall, talked about the past of the Liaodong battlefield. His qualifications in Liaodong are longer than Wu Biao There are many, and naturally they are very familiar with the scenery and stories everywhere.

"Guangning is a negative mountain. Relying on the Bohai Sea, it is better than Qingying, and it is an important town at home and abroad. The imperial court believes that 'today's Hedong is broken. And Guangning is the fence, and the mountains and seas are the gateway'. Once Guangning does not guard, then The mountains and seas shake, and if the mountains and seas are not solid, the capital will be shaken!" Ma Ke first swallowed a mouthful of cigarettes, and then exhaled the smoke from his nostrils with great enjoyment.

Merchants from the south not only brought food, but also finely processed and strong-flavored tobacco, which was welcomed by the Liaodong armies.For the town generals who pursue the enjoyment of life.These tobaccos immediately became indispensable.

After enjoying the pleasant feeling brought by tobacco for a while, Ma Ke continued to explain the past to Wu Biao.He pointed to a cluster of bones that could be seen in the grass not far away. "Decades later, this place is still full of bones and bones. Broken arrows and guns are scattered among the yellow sand and wild grass. At night, the wind howls and the phosphorescent fire flickers, making people feel cold."

Ma Ke said a few words with emotion, then turned to face the bewildered Wu Biao, "Brother Wu, do you know why this place is so dangerous?"

Since Guangning is the periphery of the Shanhaiguan defense line, it is also an important pass for defending against the old slaves.With Guangning in the hands of the Ming army, Lao Nu's rebels could only operate in the narrow area of ​​Suzi River.Therefore, for this place, the old slave has long been determined to win it.

The slave thief is like this, but the Ming army is full of pig teammates.

Governor Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, are at odds with each other's strategies.

Don't be afraid if you are mediocre, after all, most people are ordinary people, and no one is born to be a character who radiates a domineering aura, just do things honestly.But if he is born with mediocrity and is good at talking big, in addition to talking big, he is arrogant and self-willed, does not know how to use troops, does not know military affairs, but despises the enemy and many other advantages, such an official is the good official that the old slave can only dream of.

Unfortunately, this guy who is "a mediocre man, speaks big words", "is proud of others, has never trained in military affairs, despises the enemy, and loves to swear" is the Liaodong governor Wang Huazhen.

They neither know themselves nor the enemy, and they don't actively defend themselves. They pin their hopes entirely on the lone army going deep and winning by luck.In the words of the chairman, he is a typical military adventurist.Xiong Tingbi, the manager, naturally firmly opposed such a bullshit strategy.Xiong Jinglue's strategy is to "struggle to garrison troops on the river to resist, but he doesn't know that the river is too narrow to hold and the fort is too small to accommodate. Even if the river is full of [-] soldiers, it cannot be used as a crossing for [-] thieves. Even if there are [-] to [-] in Xiping and Panshan each When the soldiers on the river are defeated for a moment.... If you can hold Guangning today, you can hold the mountains and seas."

Compared with Wang Huazhen's plan, Xiong Tingbi's three-party arrangement and the plan of sticking to Guangning is a feasible and more stable combat plan.At present, the old slave is banned in the area of ​​Suzihe, and the natural disasters in Liaodong are used to continuously weaken the strength of the slaves.

But Wang Huazhen doesn't consider the overall situation.Only thinking of personal interests, "then concentrate on Hexi and use the western captives to make progress. It is said that Deng and Tianjin are slow plans."Privately dispatched general Mao Wenlong, leading more than 200 people.Deep into the enemy's rear, the camera attacked Zhenjiang.The capture of Zhenjiang in one fell swoop was the so-called "Zhenjiang Victory".

This so-called great victory, apart from giving Mao Wenlong an opportunity, the biggest consequence is to completely intensify the conflict between the manager Xiong Tingbi and others and Wang Huazhen.Xiong Tingbi and others believed that the attack on Zhenjiang was a completely rash act, which not only disrupted the arrangement of the three parties, but also exposed the weakness of the Ming army.In essence, it is beneficial to Houjin.

However, after the Battle of Zhenjiang, Wang Huazhen was "invigorated" and could not listen to opposing opinions, but decided to send troops.Although the dispatch of troops failed this time, the conflict between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen became more and more acute, and the debate between defense and war became more intense. When you can't keep it, there are too many people who hold back everything."This "wasting time" situation cannot but arouse the attention of the Ming court, and it is a matter of disagreement with the scriptures.Hand over to the court.At that time, many ministers were afraid of being involved in the vortex of this political controversy and taking responsibility, so they did not want to divide the dispute into right and wrong, but took the method of reconciling contradictions. "War and defense", the problem of helplessness.

There are endless quarrels here, while Jiannu over there took advantage of the loopholes and rushed into the army.

On the [-]th day of the first month of the second year of Tianqi, Nurhachi personally led the ministers of Baylor and led more than [-] troops.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Ming army's "disharmony in economics and defense, there is no way to fight and defend".Go west of the Liao River.On the [-]th, the army of Jiannu arrived at Yongchang Fort near Niuzhuang on the east bank of the Liaohe River to camp. To observe the movement of the Ming army, they found out that Wang Huazhen's heavy troops were stationed in Guangning. Barrier Xipingping Fort, lure the Guangning Ming army out of the city to help, and annihilate them in the field, so that Guangning can be captured effortlessly.

On that day, the main force of slavery began to cross the river.The river defense soldiers deployed by Wang Huazhen turned around and ran away when they saw that the Jin army was coming fiercely.Later, the Jin army chased for [-] miles until they reached Xiping Fort.

Knowing the news that Nurhachi led 10,000+ troops and was heading for Guangning, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, who had been talking hot words not long ago, immediately turned pale with fright and hurriedly deployed troops to defend.The king sent the general Liu Qu to lead 3000 troops to guard Zhenwu.Liu Lishou, the commander-in-chief, led 3 troops to guard Luyang.It is divided into two routes, north and south, and forms a corner with Guangning.Luo Yigui, the deputy general, was also sent to guard Xiping Fort with [-] people.Wang Huazhen himself led [-] to [-] people to defend Guangning, trying to block Guangning with four forts and snipe the invasion of the Jin army.

"The general guarding Xiping Fort is the deputy general Luo Yiguan. This brother Luo has a loyal personality, is upright, and is serious in his work. However, the disadvantages are due to his character! He only has 3000 soldiers under his command, but he has to face the old man. Nu's tens of thousands of main force elite thieves took turns to attack."

Luo has always defended the city, throwing wood and rolling stones to attack the thieves, and bombarding them with artillery.The Hou Jin soldiers were killed and injured, and the corpses under the city were almost as high as the city wall.During the fierce battle between the two sides, a stray arrow hit Luo Yiguan's eye.He stretched out his hand to grab the shaft of the arrow, pulled it hard, and the entire right eye was brought out, and blood poured out from the eye socket... Luo Yiguan became a bloody man!But they still shouted and fought fiercely to boost morale.No reinforcements arrived.The gunpowder in the city was exhausted, and the arrows and stones were exhausted. Although the guards resisted tenaciously, they still could not escape the fate of breaking the city. Seeing that the fall of the city was inevitable, Luo Yiguan drew his sword and killed himself.According to post-war statistics, all the 7000 Ming troops defending the city were killed, and Houjin suffered serious casualties, as many as [-] to [-] people.

As a result, the sacrifices of Luo Yiguan and the defenders of Xiping Fort turned into flowing water for Wang Huazhen, whose head was full of pig brains. (Crack! Who asked you to insult pigs?! Don’t know that pigs are intelligent land mammals? Second only to humans and primates?!) He was limped by the traitor Sun Degong and gave up Guangning, Luyang and Zhenwu Waiting for the established position in the city, he led a large group of soldiers and horses to Xiping Fort for rescue.In doing so, they abandoned the fundamental importance of Guangning, as well as the Ming army's artillery strength, and went to make up for the shortcomings of field battles.How can such a good official and commander not make the enemy like him? (This Sun Degong also has a more famous traitor son, Sun Sike, who is also boasted in a novel by a great writer that there are few generals in the sky that are hard to find on the earth. He and Lord Wei worshiped brothers and helped put down the chaos. In fact, Sun Sike On the battlefield, he was also a guy who used the lives of his soldiers to stain his top.)

"After this battle, Sun Degong betrayed everyone and went to Jiannu's side to ask for meritorious service. Qi Bingzhong fought hard and was hit with two knives and three arrows. On the way, unfortunately, he was wounded and died. General Liu Lishou was hit by two knives and three arrows. Fortunately, he was rescued by his servants. He fell off his horse and was killed by the rebels. Another general, Liu Shizhang, was also shot by an arrow. The arrow was so powerful that it passed through his hip and pinned him firmly to the saddle. Zu Dashou in the city, because he saw the opportunity quickly, ran fast, and was not injured. Now he enjoys wealth and honor."

Ma Ke told Wu Biao about the past of the battle between Xipingbao and Guangning, his eyes narrowed, and he asked Wu Biao with a smile on his face: "How is it, brother Wu, do you have any taste? In the future, we must fight Don't be too brave, try too hard, in that case, you may be the one who is unlucky! The so-called early rafters rot first..."

Hearing Ma Ke's story about the past, Wu Biao also found something from it.That is what has always puzzled him, why the mainland officers and soldiers run so fast when they are fighting.After listening to Ma Ke tell the story of the Battle of Quang Ninh, he also found some reasons from it.

Just as he was about to speak, the patrol officer outside the city rushed in with someone.

"Boss! The brother of the sentinel is back! It seems that there is an urgent military situation!"

Hearing this, Ma Ke and Wu Biao immediately jumped up, took the binoculars from their own soldiers, and quickly climbed up to a high place to look into the distance.

On the official road from Guangning to Shenyang, Ye Bushou sent by several cavalry families pushed the horses under their crotch away. The four legs of the very fat horses were almost parallel to the ground, as if they were flying against the wind.

"I think there must be something urgent! Otherwise, such a running method will kill the horse!"

Ma Ke didn't bother to reprimand and scold the soldiers for not caring for their horses, but just looked back and forth with the binoculars.Through the lens, smoke and dust billowed near the city of Guangning, as if hundreds of cavalry were rolling in.

"It's Jiannu Gebush Xianchao Haying's elite cavalry. I don't know what happened, so many elite cavalry can be used!"

A general beside Ma Ke exclaimed in a low voice.

"Don't care about him! Since he's here, he's hit the knife edge of our men, let's beat him!"

Marco frowned hard.

He didn't want to see Wu Biao and Wu Sangui's triumphant faces every time they discussed matters, so he also wanted to feel proud.

However, he didn't know that this small-scale ambush sent all 10,000+ people of the Ming army to hell. (to be continued)
