Chapter 208: Arriving in Liaodong

"Smack...... Syllable...... Bang bang ......"

A shrill sound of leather whips sounded outside the tent, and three men who had been stripped naked were forcibly pressed to the ground by six fierce and expressionless Goshkha, and three strong men with naked bodies were waving the leather whips in their hands. Although the three men were beaten to the point that their skin was torn apart, they still gritted their teeth and did not dare to speak, because they all knew that the master behind them hated the softball the most, and if he heard his own moans, he would definitely be even more angry.

"Waste...... A bunch of waste ...... The dignified camp actually allowed those Han dogs to get in, not only killed two people, but also captured three of our warriors, what are you all eating? ”

In the big tent, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous blue and red armor, with a black scabbard hanging from his waist, and a gem-inlaid sword on the hilt, which looked like a gorgeous sword, was roaring angrily. This big man is the second son of Shuerhaqi, the younger brother of Nurhachi, the Qing Taizu of the Later Jin Khan, and he is also the lord of the Blue Banner of the Later Jin, and Daishan, Mang Gurtai, and Huang Taiji are called the four major beylers, commonly known as the two beylers, because the military exploits are valued by Nurhachi.

This time, Amin was ordered to lead most of the men and horses with the blue flag to launch a tentative attack on Dalinghe Fort and Jinzhou together with the Great Bel Daishan, and the Later Jin Khan Nurhachi was sitting in Shengjing, if the Ming army was defeated, Nurhachi would lead the army to pounce and tear apart the Jinning defense line built by Sun Chengzong as quickly as possible.

As the second Belle whose identity is second only to Daishan, Amin is undoubtedly proud, this time he is responsible for leading the troops and horses of the Blue Flag Headquarters to attack Dalinghe Fort, which is a sudden and hidden, but he never thought that not long after he came out of Guangning, he was touched by Daming's night and was taken away, and three people were taken away, which is no less than a slap in the face for the always proud Amin, if Daishan, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji know and don't know how to laugh at themselves. When he learned the news early the next morning, he grabbed the two Niu Lu Ezhen and one Jia Lae Zhen, who were directly in charge of the matter, and whipped them fiercely twenty times.

Don't underestimate these twenty whips, the Jurchens whipped people with a ponytail, and the human hair was mixed with wire and dipped in salt water, and the twenty whips were enough to beat some people with weak physique to death.

After a while, the whip stopped. Six Goshha dragged three of them to the big tent and reported: "Qiqi Erbeyler, the execution has been completed, please instruct!" ”

Amin had a typical Jurchen appearance, with a big face, a collapsed nose, a mouth of yellow teeth, and a beard that set off his whole person fiercely, and he turned his head to look at the three people who were dying, and there was almost no good meat on their bodies.

Although the three of them had been pumped and could barely move, they were still cold by Amin's gaze, and quickly scrambled to get up and said, "The slave has seen the master." ”

Amin nodded slowly and said in a low voice, "Do you know why I'm pumping you?" ”

"Understood...... The slave has disgraced the master! The leader of the Jiala Zhangjing said in a low voice.

"You know you're in shame." Amin's small eyes narrowed into a slit, "This time, the Great Khan asked me and Da Beile to march on Jinzhou and Dalinghe Fort respectively, in order to tear apart the Jinning defense line of the Ming army, and now the Great Khan is sitting in Shengjing, if something goes wrong with us, what will happen to you?" Three Baylor and Four Baylor are staring at us from behind! ”

As soon as Amin's words came out, everyone's heads hung lower. As a slave who has followed Amin for many years, they all know that Amin and Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji and others don't deal with each other very much, once Amin has something wrong, these people will never miss this opportunity to fall into the well, not to mention anything else, at least ask Nurhachi to reduce the number of cattle with blue flags, reduce the number of loot, etc., they will definitely do it, who made Amin not Nurhachi's biological son.

Amin continued: "Since the Ming army has taken our people away this time, they must have known about our march, and there is no need to keep this trip secret, so I order the troops to immediately speed up and advance towards Dalinghe Fort, and be sure to arrive at Dalinghe Fort tomorrow!" ”

"Huh!" A neat shout rang out from the big tent......

Just when Amin led the army to march towards Dalinghe Fort, Houjin's Great Belle Daishan took 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Red Banner Headquarters and 20 Niu Lu, a total of more than 16,000 people, came to Jinzhou less than 30 miles away and set up a large camp, and the entire Ming army defense line also entered a tense state because of the arrival of Daishan.

In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion in Jinzhou City, dozens of generals gathered together, and at the head of the hall sat an official in his sixties wearing a vermilion python robe with a jade belt around his waist and a thin face. Next to him, there are two chess cards, one side is written to supervise Liaodong, the other side is written with the words of the military department, and there is a Shang Fang sword hanging in the back, everything here is reminding everyone present, the old man sitting opposite has the power of life and death to everyone present, and this old man is Sun Chengzong, who was the governor of Liaodong at the time.

"Everyone!"

Sun Chengzong first glanced at everyone with a majestic gaze, and then said lightly: "This morning, our spies have sent the news, the thief chief Nurhachi sent his son Dai Shan and nephew Amin soldiers to lead the red flag and the blue flag with a total of more than 28,000 soldiers to attack my Jinzhou and Dalinghe Fort respectively, and the thief chief Nurhachi is waiting for the fighter plane in Shenyang, I don't know what the generals have to retreat?" ”

After the generals glanced at each other, a general in heavy armor stood up and said loudly: "Commander Qiqi, our army has tens of thousands of troops in Dalinghe Fort and Jinzhou, and the city is strong, and the Tartars have only more than 20,000 people, how can we take the city that my heavy army protects, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Sun Chengzong glanced at this general, and the general who spoke was Zu Dashou, who was a guerrilla of the Chinese army at the time. Before Zu Dashou could speak, another elegant-looking general stood up and said loudly: "Inspector Sun, having said that, but the Tartars have always been cunning, although we are not afraid of the Tartars attacking the city, but we are afraid that the Tartars will confront us on the surface, but they secretly sent troops to attack Daxingbao, Tashan, Songshan and other back roads, if these places are lost, our back roads will be broken." ”

The person who stood up was not an outsider, it was Yuan Chonghuan, a general with mixed reviews in later generations. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan was appointed by the imperial court as a military officer, and he also did a lot of practical things during his tenure, and was quite valued by Sun Chengzong.

Another general stood up and arched his hand and said: "Inspector Sun, what Lord Yuan said is extremely true, the last general thinks that he should send a capable person to Daxingbao and Tashan to preside over military affairs, so as to prevent the Tartars from taking our army by surprise." "This general is not a bystander, but the famous brave general in the Liaodong Army, Zhao Shujiao, who was the governor at the time.

Sun Chengzong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "What you said is reasonable, the Tartars are indeed cunning, in order to prevent the Tartar soldiers from attacking my back road in two ways, we should indeed send a general to garrison the area of Daxingbao." The congregation will obey the order! ”

"Whoa!" All the generals stood up and shouted, "Please give the order!" ”

"Zu Dashou!"

"Mo will be!" Zu Dashou stood up and answered loudly.

"You led the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the headquarters to Daxingbao to take over the defense of Daxingbao and Tashan, and you must not let the Tartars cut off the back road of our army. After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he picked up a token on the case and threw it towards Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou took the token and arched his hand towards Sun Chengzong and said: "The last general has an order, please rest assured, if Daxing Fort is lost, the last general will come to see you!" After speaking, Zu Dashou turned around and walked out of the lobby without looking back.

Sun Chengzong watched Zu Dashou's figure leave the hall, and said to the generals: "With Zu Dashou presiding over the defense line around Daxingbao, our army has no worries about the back road. However, Zhao Xian, the general of the defenders of Dalinghe Fort, is a little lacking in courage, and the official is still a little uneasy, so let's do it, element, you go to Dalinghe Fort to preside over the overall situation, and you will come back after the Tartars retreat. After saying that, he grabbed another arrow and threw it at Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan stood up, grabbed the token, answered loudly, and walked out of the lobby again.

Then Sun Chengzong said to the generals: "Everyone, now that Jiannu is menacing, you must remember not to be careless, from today onwards, the city gate will be closed, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave the city without the order of the official, do you understand?" ”

"The last general will obey the general!" There was a chorus of cheers in the lobby.

With the issuance of orders one after another, the entire Jinzhou City and even the Jinning defense line have entered a tense situation, the city and castle of the entire defense line have closed the city gates, and the common people have also entered the nearby city with their families. And Dai Shan, who arrived near Jinzhou, was not idle, although he did not immediately attack the city, but still sent a lot of men and horses to rush along the various gathering points of the Jinning defense line, their purpose was very simple, that is, to kill or kidnap the people here to become their slaves, just when the war was about to break out, Yang Feng also led his Jiangning Wei's guard army to Liaodong.

Yang Feng rode on a jujube red war horse, looked at the scorching sun hanging high above his head, and couldn't help but spit out, "His grandmother's, this damn sun wants Lao Tzu's life!" ”

Along the way, what Yang Feng didn't expect was that Liaodong was so hot in August, which also made him a little unexpected. After walking for more than ten days, the troops finally arrived in Liaodong, although Yang Feng had taken precautions, but the sergeants who were accustomed to the southern climate still had dozens of people suffering from heat stroke one after another, and Yang Feng had to order the sergeants who suffered from heat stroke to be placed in the baggage camp for the nurses of the medical battalion to take care of.

Because he was afraid that the continuation of such a situation would lead to too serious non-combat attrition of the troops, Yang Feng secretly ran a few times in the modern society in the interval between the marches of the troops, in addition to bringing back a large number of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, Rendan, Xia Sangju and other medicines to relieve the heat, he also took the opportunity to have a tryst with his own sister Chang'e and Sister Xu, and the pain of lovesickness has been solved, especially Sister Chang'e, after just tasting the forbidden fruit with Yang Feng, it is the time to eat the marrow and know the taste, every time she sees Yang Feng, she will be obsessed, Yang Feng is feeding her before dawn to return to the camp, It was in this painful and happy process that the days passed, and the troops also arrived in Liaodong.

At this time, a war horse approached Yang Feng's side, and the man on the horse pointed to a hill in the distance and said to him: "This hill in the distance is the famous Wangzi Peak, and the peak is a temple. ”

Yang Feng turned his head to look at the other party and said with a smile: "Lord Xiong is very knowledgeable, and even this inconspicuous mountain peak knows its origin. ”

Xiong Tingbi smiled faintly: "When the official served in Liaodong in the past, he had traveled to most of Liaodong, and this mountain peak was also here, and this mountain peak did not look good, if it was in the event of a war, it was an excellent place for soldiers, as long as the soldiers were stationed here, they could control a radius of hundreds of miles, how could the official not pay attention." ”

Looking into the distance, Yang Feng asked again: "Lord Xiong, our army has found that the atmosphere is quite tense along the way, and the cities are closed one after another. ”

Xiong Tingbi shook his head and said: "This official doesn't know, after all, not all of our troops have camped in the wilderness along the way, and they have not encountered the soldiers and horses of the Tartars, but according to the experience of the officer, there is a chance that the Tartars will come to stir up trouble again." ”

Yang Feng silently recalled, "In April this year, after Nurhachi moved his capital to Shenyang and changed his name to Shengjing, he was quite arrogant and constantly sent troops and horses to attack and harass all parts of Liaodong. In September, Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, believed the rumors, which led to the defeat of Liuhe, which dragged down Sun Chengzong and allowed Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party to find an excuse to remove Sun Chengzong, which led to the increasingly erosive situation in Liaodong. ”

What made Yang Feng feel strange was that Xiong Tingbi's attitude towards Yang Feng had improved quite a bit, and he didn't have the aggressive appearance he had at the beginning, which also made Yang Feng feel a little strange.

In fact, this is also normal, along the way, with the deepening of contact, Xiong Tingbi was more and more amazed by the strength of Yang Feng's Jiangning army, most of this army was armed with firearms, and the most shocking thing for Xiong Tingbi was that Yang Feng actually had a powerful artillery unit, this artillery battalion has hundreds of artillery, and these artillery pieces are also very light, although I did not see the live fire of this artillery battalion, but Xiong Tingbi can imagine the scene when hundreds of artillery guns are fired in a salvo.

For Xiong Tingbi, after a few years, he entered Liaodong again, if he did not have a reliable army in his hands, his Liaodong strategy was equivalent to being in name only, and now there is such a strong army in front of him If he does not know how to envelop him, he is really stupid.
