The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 212

"This is the old slave making a killing move."

Hanging on the wall is a whole map of the entire territory of Liaodong, which shows the cities, forts, rivers, forests, swamps, mountains and so on.

There are also the military forces of Liaoxi, Barbarians, Jinzhou, and Zhenjiang with labels attached.

After Tang Qing'an finished reading, he sighed for a long time.

He wants to destroy other people's cities. Although others are going west and doing the opposite, they want his life in the end.

Zhu Xiu was not there, and went to the front to command the army.

Liu Chengmin, Wu Zhenmeng, Xie Youcheng, the three of them were behind Tang Qing'an, and they were deeply moved when they heard the general's words.

The Changbai Mountains are the barrier of the east coast, so how can it not be the barrier of the barbarians.

Zhu Xiu has been victorious for several days, and it will be a matter of time before Xiuyan City is taken down. If the barbarians do not send troops to rescue, there will be no change.

But even if Xiuyan was captured, Tang Qing'an would not choose to send a large army across the Changbai Mountains to attack the barbarians.

To support Beizhen, there are two options.

Either go directly to the sea with the army, because Xiping Fort was owned by the barbarians, so instead they need to disembark at Donghai Fort first, and then detour to Beizhen.

This is in the best interest of Beizhen.

The second is that the army took advantage of the main force of the barbarians to go west and cut off the barbarian food routes.

Or, like last time, attack Haizhou with the sea, or directly attack Fuzhou, Gaizhou, and Haizhou all the way.

That's in Golden State's best interest.

"Can Beizhen hold on?"

"If there is no foreign aid, it will be very difficult."

After hearing what the general had heard, everyone understood that the general didn't want to send the army directly to Beizhen.

It is easy to send troops into Beizhen, but it is difficult to return to defend.

According to the information they received.

Huangtaiji led an army of 11 to march, while the old slave led the rest and sat in the rear in person.

With the prestige of the old slave, no one knows what actions he will make when he learns that the main force of Jinzhou has crossed the sea.

Of course, Tang Qing'an would not think that the barbarians dispatched 11 troops, and the old nest would not have enough troops to steal his house.

He doesn't believe in history.

The history of the Ming Dynasty often cannot be reflected back and forth.

He only believed in the barbarian population as determined by the Chinese National Defense Report's war history.

At the time of Nuer Gansi, the barbarians lived on tribal hunting, so everyone, old and young, was good at archery. Even some women could draw bows and shoot arrows, and their archery skills were not bad.

Therefore, the old slaves can use this advantage to establish a social organization system in which the soldiers and the people of the Eight Banners are united.

Niu Lu Ezhen is actually the master of the big arrow. He was originally the leader of a team of ten when the tribe was hunting, and later evolved into an official name.

Before the Battle of Sarhu, the old slaves unified the Jianzhou barbarians and the three tribes of the Xihai barbarians. At this time, the old slaves had a population of hundreds of thousands.

The Eight Banners military system was established, with 500 soldiers in each banner, a total of [-] banner soldiers, and [-] Bala cavalry soldiers directly under the old slaves.

In addition, the banner owners of each banner also have their own Bala La guard cavalry.

Therefore, the barbarians before the Sarhu War, because all the people were soldiers, and the barbarians were good at shooting, and some cattle records were not full for various reasons, but they were able to pull out an army of [-] to [-].

The military strength of the barbarians is not small.

But Ming and North Korea had a total of tens of thousands of soldiers, and they were divided into several groups, so of course they were defeated.

Now the old slaves have seized all the Nuer Gansi, and even conquered the Jurchen in the East China Sea. According to the history of the Chinese National Defense News, the population of the barbarians at this time was about 100 million.

As for Ming history often revealing that the barbarian population was very small, you don’t need to look at it, the intention is self-evident.

It is not a problem to gather the banner soldiers of various banners, as well as the strong men of the barbarians, and gather more than [-] elite soldiers who are good at shooting.

With the addition of Mongolian soldiers and Han soldiers, regardless of logistics and local stability, the barbarians can gather more than [-] troops.

Now is the time when the barbarians are at their peak.

However, after more than ten years, the combat effectiveness of the barbarians who have won successive victories has been reduced, and they cannot pull out so many troops.

Because the barbarians who came out of the mountains were old and dead.

The new generation of barbarians grew up in Liaozuo, but without the tempering of the harsh environment, they are not as good at archery as the older generation.

After more than 18 years of Liao Zuo's development, the moment before the barbarians entered the pass, they gathered the Eight Banners of Mongolia, but the Eight Banners of Han had only [-] soldiers.

Now Huang Taiji is leading an army of 11 to go out, and the lair of old slaves can gather an army of [-] if necessary.

Therefore, Tang Qing'an did not consider jumping over the Changbai Mountains and sending a large army to attack Shen Liao.

One hundred thousand to one hundred thousand.

The winning rate is not high.

Do not gamble.

Tang Qing'an was very concerned about whether Beizhen could hold on to himself.

Hearing that others were not optimistic about Bei Zhen defending the city alone, Tang Qing'an did not believe it, on the contrary, he also thought so.

Before the unification of the barbarians, many castles were built in Beizhen relying on the border city of the Great Wall.

There are nine forts including Zhenjing Fort, Zhen'an Fort, Zhenyuan Fort, Zhenning Fort, Zhenwu Fort, Xixing Fort, Xiping Fort, and Xining Fort.

It's just that what people didn't expect was that the barbarians were unified and took Liaozuo.

However, these castles, which took hundreds of years to build and stabilize, were originally used to guard against enemies outside the Great Wall.

So most are useless.

For example, Xiangzhenyuan Fort, Xixing Fort, Zhen'an Fort, Jingjing Fort, etc., and even the original large and small border forts in the West Liaoning Corridor have lost their function.

Instead of becoming the bridgehead of the Acropolis, it became the rear.

Shi Nai considered that the new recruits in western Liaoning were not the opponents of the barbarians, so he built forts in the west corridor of Liaoning, starting from Ningyuan, all the way to Dalinghe Fort.

This item alone consumes millions of taels of supplies every year.

Li Dazu also wanted to fix it.

But Beizhen is spacious, and its geographical location is not as good as the Liaoxi Corridor.

He wanted to build the fort several times, but half of it was destroyed by cavalry from Xiping Fort and the Daliaohe barbarian camp.

Not only did it increase casualties, but it also wasted a lot of manpower and material resources.

There are currently [-] soldiers in Beizhen, and [-] soldiers in Jinzhou.

And most of them are recruits who have not experienced war.

If all the [-] recruits are used to guard the city, some will still be guarded, just to consider food.

There are also family members of nearby military households, what about the more than [-] Liao people?
Tang Qing'an frowned.

"Send people to North Korea and ask the North Korean leader to transfer [-] soldiers to Jinzhou. The two countries are the country of father and son. They should reject the barbarians together. North Korea will provide food and grass along the way, and my country will provide it after arriving in Jinzhou."

Let's call in the military first.

……

Both Jinzhou and Jinzhou are worried about Beizhen.

Li Dazu in Beizhen was scolding his mother.

Jinzhou Shi Nai and Jinzhou Tang Qing'an are not good guys, they are desperate to die.

While fortifying the walls and clearing the field, the army was shrunk back to Beizhen.

The lessons learned from the past have given up the military forts ahead.

Even the larger Zhenning Fort has been abandoned, and the Zhenyuan Fort behind it is because it is in the mountains of the Big Black Mountain and the Little Black Mountain.

Relying on the fact that this fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ding Yuan, who has been promoted to guerrilla, was retained to guard Zhenyuan Fort, and was responsible for Zhenan and calming the second fort.

He was also worried about barbarian spies and ordered all the doors to be closed tightly.

In less than half a month, the barbarian army rushed to Beizhen.

Seeing the situation here, people are very angry.

"We have spies inside."

Hearing Mang Gurdai's anger, the Han generals bowed their heads in silence, so as not to cause trouble to their upper body.

Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes.

He had already sensed that something was wrong.

Every time Golden State is able to rush ahead of them and respond as if they know their next move.

This time, in order to ensure the advantage of the surprise attack, the rear control is extremely strict.

And this North Town has already fortified its walls and cleared the wilderness. It took ten days and half a month. The news must have been received a long time ago.

Who the hell is it?

Huang Taiji's face was extremely ugly.

Outside the city, barbarians spread all over the mountains and plains, wherever they could see, they were setting up camps. Li Dazu was on the city wall, leading the generals to watch the barbarian camp.

"At least one hundred thousand soldiers."

A veteran behind Li Dazu deduced the opponent's number based on the opponent's size.

but.

This time, although everyone looked nervous, they were not very worried.

There are [-] soldiers in the city.

No matter how capable the barbarian soldiers are, if they have the advantage of the city, they can at least exchange one for one, or even higher.

Li Dazu didn't believe it, the barbarians dared to throw tens of thousands of soldiers under the city.

Huangtaiji looked at the city wall of Beizhen, feeling extremely angry.

Although I didn't expect to be able to attack Beizhen by surprise, it is also extremely beneficial to let the opponent's hands and feet scramble.

Traveling south from Shenyang to Haizhou, and then going north from Haizhou to Beizhen, all the way was 24 miles away, and the army crossed the river halfway. It took a total of [-] days to march.

"Sibeiler, what shall we do?"

Huang Taiji is the eighth son of the old slave, and the fourth of the four belors, so he is called the four belors.

Hearing the question from his subordinates, Huang Taiji looked at the high wall of Beizhen in silence for a long time.

This battle.

He must win.

The barbarian is different from Da Zhou, even if Father Khan likes him, he must show enough qualifications to convince the crowd.

"Repair the village."

After more than ten years of fighting, Huang Taiji said coldly.

On the first day, the barbarians did not attack the city.

On the second day, the barbarians did not attack the city.

On the third day, Beizhen, who felt something was wrong, sent a cavalry out of the city to test it out. Sure enough, they were annihilated by the barbarians, and only a small number of people escaped back.

"The barbarians have mobilized some of their troops."

Although he didn't test it out, some veterans still saw something strange and said immediately.

Hearing his words, although the generals in Beizhen understood clearly, they were helpless.

If you can't beat the enemy in a field battle, relying on the city to resist, this is the quiet side.

Brake statically.

Using it well is the best policy, and using it poorly is the worst policy.

It mainly depends on how the enemy can deal with it.

fifth day.

From the barbarian's line of defense, several Zhou cavalry broke in, and there were barbarian cavalry chasing closely behind them, and one of them was shot down by the barbarian cavalry.

The remaining two finally approached the city wall, relying on the cover of the archers on the city wall, they escaped smoothly.

He took a basket on the city wall and brought a letter for help.

The barbarians are besieging Uiju.

Yizhou is a big city a hundred miles to the left of Beizhen, and it is less than two hundred miles from Yizhou to Jinzhou.

According to what the messenger cavalry said, Yizhou sent two teams of cavalry for help to break out of the city, one to Beizhen for help, and the other to Jinzhou for help.

"Jinzhou will not send troops to rescue them. They only have [-] soldiers. With Shi Nai's temperament, they will never send troops out of the city."

Li Dazu's face was ugly.

How could he not know Shi Nai's temper.

If they want to save them, they have already sent reinforcements. They didn't send them before, and they won't send them now.

Yizhou belongs to him.

He only left [-] soldiers, and [-] soldiers left for Ding Yuan.

The people who came to ask for help said that there were about 5 barbarians attacking Yizhou, which means that there were only [-] barbarians outside the city at most.

There are [-] soldiers in Beizhen City.

The barbarians outside the city divided their troops, and there were also [-] soldiers.

I have no fewer troops than the opponent, dare to go out of the city to fight.

Thinking of this, Li Dazu sighed.

Give up what should be given up.
