But nothing can be smooth sailing. How can those whose interests have been lost be counted like this! Obviously, if it doesn't work, if it doesn't work positively, those people will naturally think of other ways to try to regain their interests!

Of course, all this has little impact on Liaodong's side. The biggest thing here is still the war with Jianyu!

Anshan Post Castle is an "isosceles trapezoidal" castle, with a circumference of one mile and 204 steps, which is not big. It takes the east and west Anshan as the screen, guards the main road in southern Liaoning, and Liaoyang, which is only 60 miles away from Anshan Post Fort, must pass through Anshan Post Fort, which is a place where soldiers must fight.

Anshan Post Fort is built according to the mountain cliff because of the east and west city walls, so the city only has two gates in the northeast and southwest, and the gate is an arch structure. The wall is more than three zhang high, and the exterior is covered with blue bricks, and the inside is filled with loess to prevent bombardment. Wells were dug in the city to prevent water from being cut off. There is a moat around it to prevent sneak attacks, and the land of projectiles is impregnable.

Of course, the word solid is actually a joke. In the hands of Da Ming before, it was not the same as being taken away by Jianyu. The Anshan Post Fort, which was garrisoned last year, was also captured by Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Liaodong.

Today's Anshan Post Castle is full of soldiers, and it is completely a barracks. At the head of the city, groups of captives were waiting for them, not daring to slack off, fulfilling their duties, and strictly checking the movements outside the city, as if the Ming army would appear in the next moment.

If you are so nervous, you can't blame the general for being timid. In the past few months, the Jianyu Tanma, who set off from Anshan Post Fort, could have been roaming around Haizhou and monitoring Haizhou's movements. But later, the Ming army actually sent out Ye Buhui to fight with Jianyu Tanma in the wilderness. You come and go, each has its own damage, and every time the scout horses sent out by Anshan Post Castle have either never returned, or only partially returned. This has been the case for several months, which shows the intensity of this scout battle.

I don't know when, the horses in Anshan Post Fort have long been exhausted, and they asked for help in Liaoyang, so they were able to continue to fight fiercely with the Ming army in the wilderness between Anshan Post Fort and Haizhou.

However, the Ming army did not collect at night and seemed to have played out their morale, and they even killed Jianyu Tanma and retreated again and again, especially after joining the Mongolian tribe and not collecting at night, it was even more difficult to defeat Jianyu Tanma and suffered heavy losses. Now the warships of the scout battle between the two sides have slowly moved to the side of Anshan Post Fort. Sometimes, at the head of Anshan Post Fort, you can see the figure of the Ming army not collecting at night in the field. In such a context, how can the defenders of Anshan Post Fort not defend like a great enemy?

Suddenly, the gate of Anshan Post Fort opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and a team of more than 60 horsemen galloped out and disappeared into the field of vision of the city head to the south. This cavalry army is clearly a mixture of two different armies. One team is a serious Jianyu Tanma, and the other team is dressed in steppe costumes, and at first glance it is Mongolian.

I saw that a young Jianyu led by him suddenly stopped, and when the others saw it, they also stopped, looking at the surrounding environment a little nervously, but they didn't find anything?

A leader who looked like a Mongol looked at the young man a little nervously and asked, "Lord Ezhen, what did you find?" ”

This young man is a Niu Lu Ezhen, named Tu Dabai. In the past, he was just an ordinary Jianyu scout, and he was often responsible for monitoring the movements of the Ming army in Gaizhou. But after these months of scout warfare, the old men had already died in battle, so it was only natural that he became the leader of a team of scouts, and a bull was really good.

Tu Dabai listened, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Then, he turned around on horseback, glanced at these people around him, and solemnly explained: "The brave people in the Ming army have approached this side in the night, we must be careful, we are all staring with wide eyes, if we can go out to Haizhou, it will be a great achievement to find out the military situation and go back." ”

As soon as he said this, he saw that some of the people around him suddenly became excited, but more of them showed nervousness.

Tu Tabai felt that his morale was a little wrong, so he immediately added: "In the past, we fought with the Ming army at night, mostly because they were more numerous than us. But even so, there are winners and losers between us and them. Now that the Horqin brothers have joined, the number has exceeded the number of Ming troops who did not collect at night. One of their teams didn't collect all night, and there were probably only about fifty people. Therefore, everyone can rest assured, if you meet, when you bravely kill the enemy, a head that the Ming army does not harvest at night can be exchanged for a lot of food! ”

The closer the autumn harvest gets, the more scarce the food becomes. Therefore, the soldiers in the city basically can't eat enough, and it is only when these exploration horses go out of the city that they can have a full meal. As far as the current construction is concerned, food is more precious than those gold, silver and jewelry. Therefore, Tu Dabai said this to boost the morale of his subordinates.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard the word food, many people's eyes lit up. The distance from Anshan Post Fort to Haizhou is actually about the same as that to Liaoyang, that is, more than 60 miles. If there is no accident, the horse gallops, and there will be a round trip on the same day.

The morale has obviously improved a lot, which makes Tu Dabai feel a little more relieved, and then he looks at the number of people on his side, and he is a little more relieved. According to military regulations, as long as you can complete three missions well, you can rotate to other regions, and there will be no such fierce scout battles here!

Thinking so, he led his men to Haizhou. But I don't dare to take the official road. Because both sides have set traps on official roads, the target is too obvious and the danger is too high.

However, even though they marched through the wilderness and mountains, they still met in the end, and fortunately they both opened their eyes wide, and both sides discovered each other almost simultaneously. As Tu Dabai said, the Ming army did not accept about 50 people at night. However, unlike the uneven costumes here, the Ming army side is all uniform.

Relying on the fact that there were many people and few people were bullying, Tu answered and immediately encouraged him loudly, and led his subordinates to rush towards the side where the Ming army did not collect at night. According to his thoughts, this time the Ming army should flee if he doesn't collect it at night, after all, there are many people here.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army didn't take a look at this side at night, and no one wanted to run, so they all came over. Nearby, there were some who did not accept their horses and began to greet them with their bows, and of course, this side was no exception.

The Ming army did not accept that side at night, but there were more than a dozen horsemen who did not dismount, and continued to approach this side, controlling the war horse under the crotch as they wanted, and cooperating with the tactics of dismounting and not collecting at night. At the same time, to Tudabai's surprise, the Ming troops on horseback did not collect at night, but suddenly went over and shouted loudly in Mongolian.

Tutabai could understand Mongolian, and when he heard it, he was taken aback.
