"Barbarian Jurchens?" Feng Ziying's heart trembled. This is also a tribe no less powerful than the Haixi Jurchens, but its resistance to the Jianzhou Jurchens is much lower than that of the Haixi Jurchens. Nurhaci's skill is most vividly reflected in the conquest of the wild Jurchens.
Maybe this is Nurhaci’s back-up plan?
"Five thousand savage Jurchens are strong and strong. They have been training at Tarumu Guards since last year?" Feng Ziying pondered. This was an accident. Even untrained savage Jurchens, after this year of training, may be able to
They have become cannon fodder worthy of a battle. Besides, there are still nearly 10,000 Eight Banners troops stationed behind the Jianzhou-controlled area. If these scattered garrisons are gathered together, they cannot be underestimated.
I have somewhat neglected these small and scattered troops.
"Your Excellency, are you worried about this army?" Wu Yaoqing also rubbed his temples, "There should only be about 5,000 people, but because they have been outside Guangshun Pass, the distance is a bit far, so we have not seen a large army entering Anle Prefecture and Tielingwei.
First line,..."
Feng Ziying shook his head: "If Nurhaci had the intention, he would not let this army enter the area where our careful scouts can detect it. If I were Nurhaci and wanted to leave, I would go outside the wall to the north of Zhenbeiguan and go around along the wall.
Come here, come in from Liaohetao, can we detect it?"
Wu Yaoqing took a breath of cold air, "Sir, that would be a long way around, at least twice the distance, and the Liaohe Tao area outside the border wall is too difficult to walk, with forests, mud, swamps,..."
"No matter how difficult it is to leave, as long as we can avoid our eyes, it is worth it. Moreover, they now control Yongning Fort, Qingyun Fort, and Qinghe Pass. Material supplies can be quietly transported from these forts to the border wall.
The difficulty of supplying supplies will be greatly reduced, and walking along the side wall will be much easier as long as you don't enter the side wall." Feng Ziying shook his head, and his eyes fell on the side wall of Liaohe Tao.
Walking from the map to the sand table, Feng Ziying stared at the border wall along the Liaohe Tao line with burning eyes.
The side wall of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in an irregular "M" shape in Liaodong. The left half is slightly lower and extends diagonally downward to Shanhaiguan and even to Shuntian Prefecture.
, and the bend on the right is taller. The top of the bend is the arc line of Qingyang Fort and Zhenbeiguan in Anlezhou, and it drags down to the border between Jiuliancheng and Yiju, North Korea.
The downward twist in the middle is the Liaohe Tao.
During this period, the Liaohe Tao was mainly swamps, mixed with other terrains such as forests, grasslands, and plains. It extended southward to the line of Xining Fort, Dongchang Fort, and Dongsheng Fort. The Liaohe River started from Xining Fort and Dongsheng Fort.
It passes through the border wall between Changbao and flows southward into the sea.
The border wall follows the twists and turns south of the Liaohe River. To the west are the Guangning Guards, and to the east are the Dongning Guards and Dingliao Guards. Now Shenyang, Tieling and Anlezhou are lost, which means that if the Jianzhou Army wants
To avoid the eyes and ears of the Zhou army inside the border wall, you can completely walk outside the border wall and walk close to the border wall, because now this line of border walls is within the control of Jianzhou, and you will not enter the border wall until you reach the Jingyuan Fort area.
By then, we will be very close to the battlefield.
Liaodong has a wide range of agents in Shenyang, Tieling and even Anlezhou, but who will arrange agents outside the border wall now? The border wall is all under the control of Jianzhou, who would have thought that there could be anything weird outside the border wall?
?
But if these new troops of the Savage Jurchens, and possibly even the scattered Eight Banners troops stationed in the rear in Jianzhou, were gathered quietly, they would go around the outside of the border wall, and suddenly insert themselves from the border wall at the most suitable location.
, I am afraid that it is really a new force that cannot be underestimated. If it suddenly appears at the most suitable time, it may even become a killer weapon.
Wu Yaoqing followed Feng Ziying to the sand table and said subconsciously: "If the Savage Jurchen army wants to bypass the border wall, then at least they have already set off from Zhenbeiguan, Qingyang Fort, and Gushu Fort
, Xin'an Pass and Laomi Bay, the road is rugged and difficult to navigate, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive..."
"Yao Qing, I just want to ask, can you avoid our eyes by doing this?" Feng Ziying asked back.
Wu Yaoqing was silent for a long time, then whispered: "It is indeed possible to avoid our eyes."
"Look again, these forts on this line originally belonged to our Liaodong Army, and their facilities are quite complete. If Nurhachi had planned it long ago, from last year to this year, he had stored enough grain and grass supplies in these forts and quietly transported them to the border.
If we provide support on the wall, can this army reach the Jingyuan Fort area?" Feng Ziying asked again.
Wu Yaoqing was speechless.
"I have always wondered why Nurhachi took such a bold risk, even if the other party had various reasons, but Nurhachi's success was not accidental, and his courage to take a risk was also based on the premise of having enough confidence. The relative strength of Gan and Ning's army
Weak, Wang Yiping and Bai Qice's internal reaction, I have thought about it, it is indeed his confidence, but as a trump card, I always feel a little unreliable, if you add in the new talents who have always had 10,000 or even 15,000 people
If we break out from the flanks at the most critical moment, I think we might really be defeated."
Feng Ziying's self-questions and answers seem to be releasing pressure and self-persuasion.
Faced with such a war that concerns the overall situation and even the fate of the entire Liaodong, even Feng Ziying, who claims to be the son of destiny and the protagonist, feels unsure.
Even though he knew that he could achieve final victory by persisting in the war of attrition, he still felt a little reluctant to take this step, but Liu Dongyang still convinced him and really allowed the Jianzhou Nuzhen force to escape back to Hetuala.
The old nest in the north and east was gone. It might really take ten years to completely wipe out the opponent. This battle might win five years, and this was what impressed him.
Fortunately, I was not unprepared.
"What's going on with Ji Zhenjun?" Feng Ziying suppressed her inner emotions and asked in a deep voice.
"We have landed at Donghai Fort. According to the news from there, we expect to arrive at Xining Fort within ten days." Wu Yaoqing replied immediately.
As early as two months ago, Feng Ziying secretly ordered Jizhen to quietly gather more than 20,000 people. Instead of choosing Dagu, they chose to board a ship from Yuguan and arrive at Donghai Fort by sea.
Donghai Fort is located on the east coast of Youtunwei in Guangning, more than 200 miles away from Niuzhuang. I was worried that there were spies from Jianzhou Jurchen at Niuzhuang, so I docked at Donghai Fort in advance at a rather crude pier.
shore, allowing more than 20,000 Jizhen troops to land from here and quietly enter the battlefield along the line on the west side of Liaohetao.
"Ten days?" Feng Ziying calculated silently, pressed her hands on the edge of the sand table, and looked forward, so that she could get closer to the line of Tiger Skin Station-Wu Jing Camp-Chang Yong Fort on the sand table.
.
If his predictions were correct, more than 200,000 troops from both sides might have to engage in a full-scale showdown on this sixty-mile-long ground.
"It should be in time. If the soldiers and horses assembled by the Eight Banners Army behind them, which you are worried about, the savage Jurchens and Nurhaci, are going to bypass the border wall, it is expected that it will take that long to reach the line of Jingyuan Fort. Now we will
We can send out detailed scouts to investigate in a targeted manner..."
Wu Yaoqing comforted Feng Ziying.
"Well, you go make arrangements right away. I want to be absolutely sure." Feng Ziying said solemnly: "Nurhachi must have calculated all the possibilities, so he prepared several moves to prevent one of them from having the expected effect.
, then the other hand or two hands will be effective, and this is the real sophistication."
"Sir, isn't it the same for you? If you calculate all the possibilities for Nurhaci and then make corresponding countermeasures, you will be sure of victory." Wu Yaoqing flattered.
"Yao Qing, there is no need to say such things between you and me. If I want to be sure of victory, I shouldn't take this step. But Dong Yang is right. There must be a certain price for both giving and receiving.
Such a risk is worth taking." Feng Ziying sighed and shook his head, "But when we reach this point, we must prepare all kinds of responses, and the armies on the southern front must also be prepared. Once we win on the northern front, we will not have any
If there is no delay, a comprehensive general offensive will be carried out on the southern front, and the Jianzhou Army cannot be allowed to take the opportunity to escape."
"Don't worry, sir. Master Cao and Master Mao are well aware of this. Now they insist on clinging to the Jianzhou Army on the southern front. In addition, Li Yongfang has sent people here to meet him. Jin Yuhe may have some thoughts.
But he may want a personal letter from you, my lord, to ensure that in the future..."
Wu Yaoqing glanced at Feng Ziying.
Jin Yuhe was bribed by Li Yongfang in the last war, and he was also the culprit. However, as the situation changed, although Shenyang and Tielingwei were both controlled by Jianzhou, Jin Yuhe had already noticed that the situation was not good.
Bian also keenly observed this, so he took the initiative to contact Jin Yuhe.
The other party had some intentions, but was worried that he would rebel and be liquidated, so he had been hesitant. Moreover, he might not dare to trust the other party easily, so Wu Yaoqing also felt that it was just the icing on the cake. It was good if it worked, but it didn't have any impact if it didn't work.
"Yes, but I also have conditions. He must draw more people over and play a prominent role in the next battle. If he wants to believe it, I will give it to him, but I have to write it clearly in the letter. If
If he can play a special role, I can guarantee that the imperial court will pardon his previous sins in the name of Governor Ji Liao..."
At this time, Feng Ziying didn't care much anymore. As long as he could get more help to buy more insurance for this battle, he would not hesitate to offer various conditions, all just to win this battle.
