It can be seen from the sand table that the entire Yongping Prefecture slopes from northwest to southeast, and the Great Wall was built along the mountains. However, these Great Walls are mainly made of beacons, and there are countless passes in the mountains. The Mongolians
Then you can get in from the grassland in the north through these valleys and passes.
From east to west, along the southern foothills of these mountains, there are Shimenzhai Camp, Taitou Camp, Yanhe Camp, Jianchang Camp, Taiping Camp, Luanyang Camp, and Santun Camp farther west, where are
Ji Town General Military Mansion Station.
Among them, Shanhaiguan in the east is only responsible for guarding Shanhaiguan City and its nearby Yuguan. It also takes care of Taipingying in the west. Taipingying is responsible for targeting enemies that may be encountered along the lines of Huangtuling, Damaoshan and Yiyuankou.
Taitou Battalion is responsible for the possible enemy situation at Jialingkou and Qingshankou, while Yanhe Battalion and Jianchang Battalion are responsible for the enemy situation at Taolingkou and Lengkou respectively, and coordinate with each other.
Taiping camp is responsible for the enemy situation on the front lines of Cayazi and Yumuling, while Luanyang camp is responsible for the front lines of Dongjiakou, Xifengkou and Lijiagu.
The Santun Camp is responsible for the Panjiakou and Hongshankou front lines, and also supports the Luanyang Camp and Taiping Camp.
This may seem thorough, and basically takes care of every section of the defense line. No matter which line the Mongols break through, there will be battalions to deal with, and there is also a mutual support mechanism, but this is only based on a small group of Mongolians.
Under the premise of invasion.
If there is an invasion by thousands or even tens of thousands of Mongols, this method can indeed work very well, attacking quickly and forming a pincer attack. However, once the invasion exceeds ten thousand or even tens of thousands, this coping mechanism will become ineffective.
Quite fragile.
Ji Town is divided into three roads, the east road and the middle road are in Yongping, and the most important west road is in Shuntianfu. In comparison, the scope of defense of the west road is not narrower than the east road and the middle road combined, and even the mission
The pressure is even heavier because there is the Capital City behind it, which is why the Jizhen General Military Station is set up in Santunying, which is adjacent to Shuntian Prefecture.
From the Santun camp to the west, there are Zhongyi Zhongwei, Dongsheng Youwei, Yingzhou Youtunwei, Zhenshuowei, Yingzhou Zhongtunwei, Yingzhou Houtunwei, and Xingzhou Houtunwei. These guard posts are lined up.
Although they have been eliminated several times, a considerable number of garrison troops are still retained as supplementary troops for the Jizhen frontier army. Two-thirds of the Jizhen army, more than 60,000 troops, are stationed along the entire West Road.
The long east road and the middle road only have less than one-third of the troops in Ji Town. This also includes the immobilized troops at the Ji Town general military station of Santun camp and Shanhaiguan. In other words, there are hundreds of miles of land.
The six camps actually have less than 20,000 troops.
It is conceivable that the 20,000 soldiers and horses distributed in six camps were unable to withstand the Mongol cavalry coming like a flood. Such fortifications could only be defeated one by one or even annihilated one by one.
So Feng Ziying could guess that You Shigong had already issued an order to shrink the troops to ensure that Shuntian Mansion. Where the troops would come from, they would naturally come from the six battalions in Yongping, which were already difficult to withstand.
Draw.
Feng Ziying's eyes wandered along the side wall on the sand table. Although the line from Yiyuankou to Jialingkou was possible, he judged that it was unlikely. It was too close to Shanhaiguan. Even if the Mongols tried their best, they would still be vulnerable.
The troops who arrived at Shanhaiguan stopped and attacked.
Similarly, in Yongping territory to the west of Xifengkou, all the way to Jiangjunshi on the Shuntianfu side, although the route is long, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed within this line of border walls, and there are also multiple guard stations as fulcrums, Chaha
If we want to break through from here, we will face obstacles from all sides.
Only the section from Qingshankou to Jialingkou covers hundreds of miles, with more than 10,000 people stationed in the four camps of Taitou Camp, Yanhe Camp, Jianchang Camp and Taiping Camp. There are too many passes and valleys for breakthrough. This is also
The main reason why You Shigong is unwilling to defend this line is that it is really difficult to defend.
Especially when the Mongols have abundant troops and stronger mobility, they can easily open up the defense line by hiding from the enemy and crossing the sea, attacking in the east and attacking in the west, and diverting the troops away from the mountains. They can avoid the real and attack the weak or encircle the weak points to send reinforcements, causing one's own side to be even more passive.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying couldn't help but sigh. Jizhen could open his mouth, and You Shigong could use the excuse of guarding Shuntian Mansion to withdraw troops and give up, but he had no choice.
Now only Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong and Luo Guanyi can live up to expectations.

Coming out of the Ministry of War mansion, Busia Mara couldn't help it anymore, "Delgrad, this won't work!"
Delgrad sighed, "Then what can we do? Brother Dong, you have also seen how busy the military officials in Da Zhou are. I can be sure that this is not just because of their problems in the southwest, but also with the
It has something to do with the fact that the Mongolian left wing on the grassland has begun to become restless. Under such circumstances, how much do you think they still care about our life and death?"
"I don't believe that the people in the Zhou Military Department are short-sighted and they don't realize what it will mean to them once the Ula Tribe and our Yehe Tribe are annexed by Nurhachi." Bushiya Mara said angrily: "
What Xiao Feng Xiuzan said last time was so nice, why don’t the people from the Ministry of War even want to see us this time?"
"My eldest brother took Niyahan to see Governor Feng, but he didn't get any promise. I heard that Governor Feng was also worried about the pressure Jizhen was facing. The Mongols broke through from his Jizhen territory and attacked the capital city. He would
He took responsibility, so he did not give the elder brother and the others a good look." Delgler's face was gloomy.
"Delgrad, we still have to find their boss. If we find nothing and Zhou gives up on us, Nurhachi will definitely use this opportunity to attack us and the Ula tribe. Whether we can persist is hard to say, but Buzhantai
There will definitely be no support there, and Bu Zhantai may be about to surrender. Once he surrenders, we won’t be able to gain a foothold."
A look of determination appeared on Busia Mara's sharp and sharp cheeks, "We are going to find that little Feng Xiuzhan!"
Delgler frowned and said, "Didn't you ask before? That little Feng Xiuzhan has lost some power and been released. There is no point in us looking for him."
"No, Delgrad, you don't know much about these Han people. The Han people particularly value family ties, teacher-student ties, and hometown ties. Xiao Feng Xiuzuan is the only son of Governor Feng. Governor Feng will never sit idly by and ignore Xiao Feng Xiuzuan.
And Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan’s teacher is the current court elder, and the two people from the Ministry of War also value him very much. If we can get a promise from him, he can help us coordinate and mediate between Liaodong and the Ministry of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Then
We can win the initiative."
Delgler did not expect Busia Mara to know so much about the officialdom of the Han people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He couldn't help but smacked his lips, "Brother Dong, how do you know this?"
"Delgrad, we are a weak party. If we want to survive among all the forces, we can only rely on the strong. Dazhou is our most important ally and backer. If we want to win their support, we must
We need to understand all their internal customs and rituals, as well as their joint transitions."
Bushyamala’s words were full of helplessness and unwillingness, but also a little stubborn.
“Then what should we do now?”
“It’s only a few hundred miles to Yongping, so it’s nothing.” Bushiya Mara said resolutely.
Facing Busia Mara's stubbornness and determination, Delgrad was speechless, "I'm afraid that kid may not be able to help us now."
Feng Ziying was also surprised when she saw Busia Mara and her entourage.
Bushyamala’s tall and strong body is so eye-catching, especially her beautiful eyes by the clear pool, which penetrate people’s soul.
“Is it you?” Feng Ziying was touched and slightly surprised by Busia Mara and Delgrad.
"Master Feng, you are well..." Busia Mara spoke in a formal tone. Feng Ziying heard some stiff remarks, which was quite funny, "Miss Dong Ge, it seems that you are well, um,
At least your mood and expression are not good, is it because of the Jurchens?"
"Your Majesty, you are asking this question knowingly. The Jianzhou Jurchens are about to take action against us and the Ula tribe, but your father turned a blind eye. We have established your imperial military department, and they are not even willing to see our faces. Is this how your Zhou army treats us?"
Allies, or in just half a year, you have changed your tune and turned a blind eye to our Haixi Jurchens?"
Bushyamala said with great force.
Feng Ziying burst into laughter, "Brother Dong, the role of allies is mutual. When you want to question others, you should first ask yourself, what have you done for others and allies? Blindly force others to pay, and ignore your own obligations.
, no one will like such an alliance, and it will never last long."
Seeing Busia Mara suffocated, Feng Ziying continued enthusiastically: "Da Zhou has done a lot for his allies, and he even gave them what he was in short supply first. But as an ally, Ye Hebu did a lot.
What? I know why you are here. Nurhachi will definitely take action this autumn. The Mongols are planning to launch a large-scale attack on Nanqin, which has occupied most of the minds of the Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, they have no energy to interfere with other matters. Then Ye Hebu did what he did for the Zhou Dynasty.
What’s not there?”
Bushiyamala’s attitude softened somewhat and her tone became much gentler, “Our Yehe tribe has limited strength and really can’t do much.”
"If we can't do anything for the Jurchens in Jianzhou, what about the Chahar people, what about the Inner and Outer Khalkha tribes, and what about the Horqin tribe? If nothing can be done, then what can we do about the Yehe tribe when the Great Zhou Dynasty wants it?
What’s the meaning and value?” Feng Ziying’s attitude was cold.
“What does the Zhou Dynasty need from our Ye He tribe?” Busia Mara’s face was grim. She realized that the young man in front of her might not be as easy to talk to as last time. What did Ye He tribe need to do?
