Now that Wang Yan had met, he no longer divided his teams. He took a group of his subordinates around to the rear of Shengjing, and began to attack the area at the junction of present-day Liao Province and Ji Province toward Changchun in the north.

Attacking is far easier than defending, especially when someone like Wang Yan leads a small team of elite troops to wreak havoc. Liaodong is such a large territory, and no one knows where he will go or where he will come out.

And this Huang Taiji did live up to his expectations, and it was still heavily guarded near Shengjing. As the same saying goes, what is false is true, and what is true is false. Wang Yan was defeated and crippled last time. According to normal thinking,

Most likely they will not go to Shengjing again but go to some remote places to cause destruction.

But players like Wang Yan, who had ruined them all winter and played with them, would definitely not do that. After all, they suffered such a big loss and almost died there. No matter what, they have to get this place back. Change positions.

Thinking about it, if Huang Taiji was Wang Yan, then he would definitely attack Shengjing again. I don't believe there was an ambush. So Huang Taiji did the opposite and really set up another ambush.

There is so much to say, but Huang Taiji is betting that Wang Yan will come again based on some past information.

But Wang Yan was on the third floor, and he didn't expect Huang Taiji to be so determined to kill him before. This time, he didn't even bother to study Huang Taiji's ideas, how to arrange it, and then use the air to attack him.

He thought very simply. After the Jin Dynasty raised 40,000 troops to attack Korea, there would be an internal emptiness. And the last time he was defeated, no matter whether Huang Taiji was a master tactician or simply cherished his life, he could not have put himself in danger. Power is poison, not

Anyone who has just been in power for four months would dare to bet on himself. After all, he went there last time and killed many of them with explosives. Wang Yan didn’t believe that Huang Taiji didn’t see the power, so he didn’t believe that the old man

I dare to play the empty city strategy with them.

In this case, internal rebellion is also included, which requires a part of the stability maintenance troops, so the troops will inevitably be dispersed, plus most of the remaining troops concentrated in Shengjing. There are one in other places, and the serious and capable troops stationed there are probably only one.

There are about three hundred people, just one Maverick, and if they are exhausted, there will be less than a thousand people at most.

He won't touch those with too many people, and if there are too few, he won't kill them. He can't play with them to death.

In fact, even if thousands of people chased him to do it, Wang Yan would be killed if he led guerrillas and flew kites. As long as they were not surrounded and put into desperate situations, it would basically not be a big problem.

Therefore, Wang Yan's attack was like entering an uninhabited territory. He did not divide his troops, but he took the lead and led the charge. Moreover, there were dozens of younger brothers who had not changed jobs before. With such a large framework, he could guarantee the battle formation.

If you don't break up, it can be summed up in four words: whoever is caught will be killed.

In fact, Huang Taiji has recruited a lot of new soldiers in the past four months since he took office. It's just that he has not experienced a major war and cannot form an army. To put it bluntly, such an army is too different in the eyes of Wang Yan and the five hundred people. After all,

His reputation was there, and so were the heads flying as the horses ran on horseback. Watching the murderous team coming towards them again, few people were not afraid.

Of course, those who are not afraid will not live long, and the less afraid they are, the faster they will die. Wang Shoubei's two-stone strong bow was pointed at where to shoot, and he greeted them by name. He wanted to destroy the morale of these people.

After Huang Taiji has finished conquering Korea, he will conquer the Ming Dynasty, and then Zhu Youxiao will have to play with water. So this time Wang Yan will not hold back. When he encounters the plundered Han people, anyone who dares to follow him mounts and fights.

, bring them all. So in the front, they killed people and beheaded them, captured the horses and armor, and in the back, they armed a bunch of Han people who had lived enough and led them to charge.

It's not that Wang Yan uses these people as cannon fodder. They have really had enough of life and there is no point in it anymore. The reason why they did not revolt before was just because the cowardice in their hearts gained the upper hand, and they were all miserable and afraid of being killed. Now Wang Yan is here

Well, he has been causing trouble here all winter. As long as Wang Yan is not from Hou Jin, no matter where the rest are from, depending on how good he is at killing, as long as he recruits people, there will be people who will risk their lives to fight with him.

This group of people was not good at the beginning, mainly because they lacked self-confidence. But once they survived one or two rounds and participated in one or two victories, it goes without saying that they rushed forward. Those who joined later saw that

If they are so fierce, their condition will improve.

Of course, these people are only a minority after all. Most of them have lost their bloody nature early and choose to live on.

But even if they were just a handful, there were still hundreds of thousands of Han people in Houjin's territory. After all, they had plundered people many times before and used them as cattle and horses to serve as slaves.

Wang Yan's men and horses, the more they fight, the more they fight. They are all soldiers who have gone through battles with real swords and guns. They are not lacking in experience. The only thing that is bad is that they have been here for too long and their health is a little weak.

, if you can go back with him alive and make up for a while, you will definitely be an elite.

When Huang Taiji knew that Wang Yan had come again, it had been three days since five villages had been massacred, and he had lost a thousand soldiers.

Without saying a word, he sent out all the forces except for the defense of Shengjing City. Of course, he also knew that this was in vain. After all, they had never done this before, so they had been slipped away all winter.

Well.

But he had to do this. Once Wang Yan was allowed to kill like this, by the time the war in North Korea was over, all the adult bannermen would be killed by Wang Yan. Those banner owners who had gone out would definitely not be let go when they came back.

He cannot escape death.

One side sent people to hunt down Wang Yan, and the other side quickly gathered their subordinates to carry out the merger of villages and towns that they had previously planned to do. To put it simply, it was early urbanization.

Although this will consume a lot of materials, their finances will be very tight, and it will also delay spring plowing. If they don't finish Korea, it won't be enough for their next move. The city may not be built, but the population must be concentrated.

, so that the troops and horses can be concentrated, so that the enemy will not dare to attack easily.

And similarly, the concentration of population, concentration of resources, and concentration of development can indeed boost their economy to a certain extent. As for delaying spring plowing... they now rely more on robbing, even for plowing, and the Han people are working as cattle and horses.

of farming...

Again, he had to do this. There really was nothing he could do to Wang Yan. After all, even if he had a way, Wang Yan would not be able to escape until now. The last time he was the most successful, he was also hit by dimensionality reduction. Then he

Mom, the power of a dynamite pack is so powerful that it can blow up a whole piece in one go.

Affected by this, Huang Taiji has found some craftsmen to study firearms. In addition, in view of the situation of Wang Yan and Mao Wenlong before, and the sharp conflicts between the bannermen and the Han people that broke out from time to time, he also deliberately promoted the development of firearms in his own territory.

The integration of Manchu and Han people gave the Han people some leniency to a certain extent, but they still acted like cows and horses...

After explaining these things, Huang Taiji could no longer control Wang Yan, and personally took the troops to the front line to supervise the battle. They must finish the war with North Korea quickly and achieve rich results. Otherwise, the logistics will be exhausted.

His mother is about to collapse.

Wang Yan didn't know so many things, so he took his men and horses and sneaked in a group of Houjin soldiers who were chasing him. From time to time, he would fly a kite, and he was well versed in the way of enemy advancing and we retreating, and enemy retreating and harassing us.

He came out this time and didn't go back until mid-April, bringing with him more than a thousand men and more than 3,000 heads. This brilliant result was mainly because Wang Yan relaxed the restrictions, and there were many Han people here who had enough cannon fodder.

The reasons for joining are: First, he can lead the way accurately and hit every target accurately. Second, these people are not afraid of death. He is very brave to take the lead in fighting.

With such a result, it wasn't that he wanted to go back, but that he couldn't run away and Huang Taiji went crazy.

Forced by the double pressure of Wang Yan from the rear and tight logistics, in three months, Huang Taiji directly beat North Korea to his knees, declared himself a vassal, paid tribute, and then came back to arrest him with a group of people who had won the battle. In addition,

This month, Huang Taiji's policy of merging villages and towns has indeed been implemented relatively well. It is difficult to find isolated villages, and everyone has issued weapons and armor to adult men to organize town guards...

In addition, after Huang Taiji came back from Korea this time, it was estimated that he would have to rest for a few weeks before sending out troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty with the power of victory.

Wang Yan tormented Hou Jin like this. On the one hand, he was fighting guerrilla battles, but on the other hand, Hou Jin was far from being as powerful and invincible as he had imagined.

No matter how good Wang Yan was in fighting, he would still be an enemy of a hundred people if he was beaten to death. The main reason why Wang Yan had such a big impact after leading hundreds of men and horses for a whole winter was that Hou Jin's foundation was not strong.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was beaten up and even Liaodong was defeated was mainly due to the intertwined internal interests of the Ming Dynasty itself, which was a mess.

In fact, the Gonggun princes in the court did not pay much attention to the issue of Houjin. At this time of party struggle, how could they care about a group of uncivilized and uncivilized barbarians? All parties are holding each other back, coupled with corruption.

If it is serious, you will raise tigers to cause trouble, which will increase your financial support.

Just like here in Liaodong now, the Donglin Party's forces and Wei Zhongxian's forces are just doing whatever they have to do, and a lot of bad things are happening day by day.

In fact, it was Wang Yan who killed all the people in the Houjin Banner, so the Ming Dynasty probably didn't. It has something to do with Houjin, but it is not decisive.

Of course, that's what Wang Yan said. It's impossible for Wang Yan to do that. If it hadn't been adjusted properly and the wings were fanned out, Zhu Youjian would have poked him blindly, but in the end he got it right. Daming stood up with vigor and vitality, and he went up

Where can I go to reason? It's better not to ask for trouble.

After returning to the station and resting for a night, Sun Fugui and others completed the arrangements for the hundreds of people who came back with him, as well as the compensation for those who died in battle. The next day, Wang Yan led a convoy carrying heads to the Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion.

"Did the trip go well? No more injuries, right?"

After seeing the ceremony, Mangui looked at Wang Yan with a smile.

"Everything went well, this time my subordinates captured more than 3,000 heads."

"Huh?" Man Gui looked at Wang Yan in surprise: "Why are there so many this time?"

"That's right, sir, because Huang Taiji raised 40,000 troops..."

Wang Yan briefly told Man Gui about the situation in Houjin's territory and the situation under his men. After all, you can't hide this thing as long as you are under someone else's hands.

After finishing speaking, Wang Yan looked at Man Gui who nodded repeatedly and changed the topic: "It is precisely because of this that I estimate that they cannot wait too long. Huang Taiji will send troops to attack our country in the near future. Your Excellency, it is better to make preparations in advance."

For the best."

Mangui frowned and said, "Is that really the case?"

"It's absolutely true, my lord."

"If this is the case, then now they are merging villages and towns, building large-scale construction projects, and issuing weapons to adult men. With their current strength, they cannot last long, so Huang Taiji will definitely use force. There are only two goals, one is

One of the Mongolian Chahar tribes is our Ming Dynasty. And our Ming Dynasty’s supplies far exceed those of Mongolia. In addition, with this defeat of North Korea, morale is at a high level. From this point of view, attacking our Ming Dynasty is almost indispensable."

Mangui analyzed it to himself, looked up at Wang Yan, and said in surprise: "You kid amaze me more and more. I didn't expect that your mind can think of so many things..."

These words are a bit ridiculous. Wang Yan secretly cursed in his heart, and scratched his head with a smile: "It's all just nonsense, nonsense. The adults are more logical and right, and they are far worse than you.

No matter what, I have to rush for eight hundred years."

"I really want you to wait eight hundred years, but I won't live until that time." Man Gui shook his head, made a little joke, and then straightened his face: "I know this matter, and the rest

Don't worry about it. As for the heads this time, I will send someone to the capital to present them to the emperor soon."

"But if there really is a fight this time, you have to perform well. I can't say victory, but as long as you can't lose, with your previous military exploits, I have to make you a general and a guerrilla this time. That's a lot.

How long? Just over a year. If you weren’t too young and couldn’t convince the public, the emperor might have appointed you as a general. It’s really... tsk tsk... you have so much strength and destiny..."

Wang Yan smiled and clasped his fists: "It's all the adults who show their love and support..."

Man Gui glanced at Wang Yan and said nothing. He knew what he had done. The biggest help he could give Wang Yan was to establish a line with the emperor in the capital. As for the rest, forget it.

What I can barely calculate is that during the battle of Ningyuan, Wang Yan was given hundreds of households, and he had to kill himself to get the position. After that, it was Wang Yan who took care of him. Of course, to put it nicely, it is called mutual benefit. That is.

Without him, Mangui, as the commander-in-chief here, someone else would be able to stand out just as well.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wang Yan knew that it was okay. He immediately stood up and said, "Do you have any other instructions, sir? If not, then I will leave first."

Mangui waved his hand: "Go."
