Smuggling Daming

Li Anliang's army rested overnight in Chamuliang Village, and then continued to advance slowly at the original speed. Every time they encountered a Jurchen village, they would be slaughtered by them, but at this time most of the Jurchen villages had already taken over. After hearing the news, they quickly gathered towards the village where Fuman was located. The women and children were organized and began to evacuate to the north, while the men took up arms and prepared to protect their homes.

Fuman had already found out the number of Daming's troops at this time, and when he learned that the other side had sent 2 troops, he was also shocked and sat there speechless for a long time, although their Jurchens entered for the people and went out for the sake of the people. Soldiers, it can be said that every adult man is a qualified soldier, but even if all the adult men in Jianzhou Zuowei are added together, I am afraid that in the end they can only make up 6 men at most. The [-] people are regular troops, but their Jurchen troops are improvised. If they really fight head-on, I'm afraid they will lose miserably.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Fuman's first thought was to escape, but this is their lair of Jianzhou Zuowei, and it is not easy to retreat, plus those women and children, there is no way to escape. It is impossible to escape the pursuit of the Ming army. In addition, winter is coming soon. If they leave the warm village and enter the mountains in winter, the food will definitely not be guaranteed. Most of them will be frozen to death by the cold winter.

But fortunately, although the three guards of Jianzhou are constantly dirty with each other, they can still maintain unity when they are outside, so he immediately asked for help from Jianzhou Guard and Jianzhou Right Guard, and at the same time organized the women and children in the tribe to go to Jianzhou in the north. The right guard withdrew. After he married Aguli, it was equivalent to marrying the right guard of Jianzhou. The relationship between the two guards was relatively good, so now that the left guard in Jianzhou was in trouble, the other party naturally had to share some of it.

But even with the assistance of the other two guards, and the right guard of Jianzhou also agreed to temporarily take in the women and children of the left guard of Jianzhou.But Fuman had to lead the army to stop the advance of the Ming army. On the one hand, it bought time for the retreating women and children, and on the other hand, it also bought time for the reinforcements of the two guards. After all, the Ming army was about to hit Fuman. The village where it is located.

More than 2 temporarily assembled Jurchens were integrated at the fastest speed.However, Fuman did not dare to take this army directly to meet the enemy, but concentrated all the troops in the village where he lived. After all, their number was relatively small, and they were not as well-equipped as the Ming army, so it is absolutely You can't fight the opponent in the field, you can only rely on the strong village to stick to it.

The village where Fuman lived was originally named after his father Xibaoqi, but after he killed Xibaoqi, the village naturally became Fumanzhai. A village that can be managed is not so much a village.It is better to say that it is a small city, and the surrounding walls are built by the Han and Koreans who came from looting. Although it is not as good as the regular Daming city wall, it is still very strong, and the space inside Fumanzhai is also large. big enough.In fact, this village was originally used as a refuge for the entire Jianzhou Jurchen family in times of crisis.

It is precisely because he knows the strength of Fumanzhai and the large amount of grain stored in the village that Fuman decided to stick to the village. According to his estimation, as long as he can hold Fumanzhai for five days, then Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Youwei's reinforcements will arrive, and then the three guards will join forces.It should be possible to repel this Ming army.

When Li Anliang led the army to Fumanzhai, what he saw was a scene of being ready for battle. The Jurchens on Fumanzhai were lying on the wall, all the bows and arrows in their hands were facing the front. The machine has also been prepared, and it looks no different from the Jurchen village captured by Li Anliang and the others before.The only difference is that this Fumanzhai is much larger in scale, the number of people is several times larger, and there are a few more trebuchets on the wall.

"Don't these Jurchens have brains? They know that we have artillery and can easily break through their walls, but they still stick to the village?" A young Ming army general standing beside Xu Cheng laughed.This time Xu Cheng is not only in charge of leading the [-] Ming army, but also a special officer team consisting of hundreds of people. They are the students of the Beijing Army Academy who will graduate next year. battlefield.

"Hehe, these Jurchens are not stupid. Although they know that their city walls may not be able to stop our artillery, they dare not fight us in the field when their strength and equipment are not superior, so they have no protection In the field of means, this Fumanzhai can still provide them with a certain amount of protection!" Xu Cheng glanced at the junior who was talking next to him, and explained with a smile, although these young generals studied in the military academy After finishing their own courses, they lack actual combat experience and cannot apply what they have learned. This is why the imperial court arranged them to go to the army to experience the war first-hand.

"What the senior taught me is that the younger brother is taking it for granted!" The military cadet who spoke heard Xu Cheng's words, and immediately bowed his head to be taught. The military academy has always required students to be friendly and support each other. Xu Cheng's current teaching is to be an The responsibility of seniors, and as juniors, they all know that these are the experiences that the seniors have acquired with great difficulty, so they are also taught with an open mind, and there are also a few students who have some problems with certain issues. He also asked Xu Cheng for advice on the spot, and Xu Cheng also answered them one by one. Even though he is only one or two years older than these juniors, his good tutor and the experience in the military camp during this period have made him His knowledge far surpasses these students who have just stepped out of the military academy.

Not far away, Li Anliang listened to the enthusiastic conversations of Xu Cheng's young generals, and couldn't help showing a bit of envy on his face. Don't look at his current position is higher than any young man on Xu Cheng's side, but If there are no accidents, his achievements in the future may only stop here, but the young people who graduated from military academies like Xu Cheng are completely different. Graduated young officers will serve as officers, and these young officers are very united and loyal to the imperial court. It is foreseeable that most of Ming's military generals will be served by young generals from these military academies in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Anliang couldn't help sighing. He is already in middle age, and it is impossible for him to enter the military academy to study again like those young people in the army. In addition, he is a surrendered general, so this time After the battle, it is estimated that he will not be entrusted with important tasks by the court.However, Li Anliang quickly regained his composure. Although he may enter the military academy again in his life, he still has sons, and there are more than one. He likes martial arts, and argues every day to go to the military academy, but he is only 13 years old now, and when he is a little older, he will be sent to the military academy. In the future, Xu Cheng, who is also a senior from the same military academy, will take care of him. He goes further.

Fuman sticks to the city wall and can't get out. Li Anliang naturally can only move the artillery troops to the front of the formation as before, and then bombard the opponent's city wall with artillery. According to past experience, the Jurchen's wall mixed with mud Under the concentrated bombardment of artillery, it couldn't last long at all.

However, there was an accident in the artillery tactics of the Ming army this time, because when the shell smashed the mud shell outside the city wall of Fumanzhai, the bluestone inside was exposed. It turned out that when Fumanzhai was built, the inside was made of bluestone. After that, long logs and soil were erected on the outside. Although the bluestone inside was not very thick, it took quite a long time to blast this layer of stone slabs with shells.

"I didn't expect that the leader of the Jianzhou Zuowei had such a layer of support, but although the stone slab is strong, it just took a little more time!" A student behind Xu Cheng used a telescope to see the stone slab inside the opposite city wall. Some soliloquies.

"Senior, we got news from some Jurchen captives before. It is said that the current leader of the left guard in Jianzhou is named Fuman. He is not as good as a beast. Then he raped his stepmother and killed his father. Many of his brothers, a brutal person like him, should have many opponents in the Jianzhou Zuowei, maybe we can use it to divide the Jurchens of the Jianzhou Zuowei?" At this time Another young cadet from a military academy suggested that as soon as his words were spoken, many people immediately agreed with them. After all, in their opinion, it is better to use tricks to achieve their goals than to use brute force.

But Xu Cheng shook his head when he heard this, and said: "You guys don't know, the Jurchens don't have any sense of shame. They only look at the results and strength. As long as he has the strength to take the position of leader, no one will accuse him of the method he used, and even the previous opponents may have been cleaned up by Fuman long ago. I don’t care about Fuman’s murder of his father and his mother.”

When he said this, Xu Cheng deliberately paused, and then said solemnly: "In addition, fellow students, please remember that when your strength is equal or slightly weaker than the enemy, you can use some strategies to better achieve your goals. , but when your own strength is far superior to the enemy, there is no need to spend too much thought, you just need to crush the past with absolute strength. When His Highness Zhao Wang was the school supervisor, he said that in the face of absolute strength, Any conspiracies and tricks are futile, all students must keep this sentence in mind!"
