  Chapter 2611 Guizijuan battle, the wind rises

  October 20th, accompanied by bleak chills, the first battle finally started at the Wujing Camp.

  Wujing Camp is a small fort between Hupi Station and Changyong Fort. It is not too far from the Hunhe River, only a few miles away, and about ten miles away from the main road of Tiger Skin Station.

  Although this place is not as dominant as the Tiger Skin Post, it is the middle point between the main post road from Shenyang to Liaoyang and Changyong Fort, which is on the west side wall, that is, facing the Liaohe Taobian Wall Fortress.

After the loss of Shenyang, the fortresses along the lines of Shangyulin Fort, Jingyuan Fort, and Changyong Fort were all abandoned by Liaodong Town. In fact, after Shenyang was controlled by the Jianzhou Army, these fortresses could not be defended. If the army cuts it off at the waist, it will really be shut down and beaten.

However, the side wall facing the Liaohe Tao is aimed at the Jianzhou Jurchen and the Mongols. In the early stage, it was mainly aimed at the Chahar people. The sphere of influence of Jurchen in Shenyang is facing Liaohetao in the west of Shenyang. Naturally, a series of forts from Dingzibo Fort, Shifangsi Fort, Shangyulin Fort, Jingyuan Fort to Changyong Fort have been established along the west. Fortresses built with side walls, but once Shenyang is lost, these fortresses with side walls become worthless.

The battle was initially fought in Liutiao Village, but it was a small battle with a thousand soldiers. However, as the Jianzhou Army and the Zhou Army continued to increase their troops, the scale rapidly expanded to a battle with three to four thousand people each. The army was a little unable to resist, and retreated steadily, from Liutiao Village to Wujing Camp, relying on Wujing Camp to launch a counterattack, which also brought considerable losses to the Zhou Army.

Both sides seem to be making real fire, with greater intensity and greater investment. When more and more Jianzhou Army and Zhou Army came from Shenyang and Liaoyang for reinforcements, intentionally or unintentionally, it seems that both sides Subconsciously feel that maybe this is a perfect start.

  Feng Ziying rubbed her chin, motionless, standing on the map and looking at the Pu River between Changyong Fort and Jingyuan Fort above.

  The Pu River flows into the Liao River along the side wall until it turns into the Sancha River and flows into the sea.

"The Jianzhou Army is still increasing its troops, and Changyong Fort is also fighting. Although it has snowed, it is still early for the Hunhe River to freeze..." Wu Yaoqing introduced the situation hastily, "Although the Jianzhou Army is increasing its troops 20,000, but the Ganning Army has firmly held back the main force of the Manggurtai Division at the western end of the Hupi Station, preventing it from moving west for reinforcements. The Liaodong Army is still fighting fiercely with the Jianzhou Army near the Wujing Camp, but There is still no victory or defeat, the cavalry advantage of the Jianzhou Army is still obvious, especially the mobile attack on this line has posed a great threat to us,..."

"Yaoqing, don't rush to make a judgment. With the Jianzhou army on the opposite side, do you think he has a chance of winning against us?" Feng Ziying shook her head slightly, "There are more than 60,000 people, and 10,000 new troops have entered the south line and Denglai. The army is mixed together, and they have only 50,000 people left, 40,000 elite armored soldiers, plus 10,000 new troops, our Ganning army has 20,000 people, plus 70,000 Liaodong army, almost double the opponent , Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, do you think this battle will be a decisive battle that Nurhachi hopes for, but I think it may become a bigger war of attrition?"

Wu Yaoqing shook his head resolutely: "Nurhachi will not fail to see this. He should be aware of all the things you mentioned, but he dares to continue to increase investment, and it is a tactic like adding fuel. It is wrong to say that, there must be something wrong here, of course, if Wang Yiping and Bai Qice suddenly counterattacked, it is indeed possible..."

"So we can't be in a hurry, and we have to observe, besides they may choose the Gan Ning army as a breakthrough point, and make a fuss in Wang Yiping and Bai Qice's department, will there be any sudden killers?" Feng Ziying is also concerned about the development of the situation. I am looking forward to it, but also have some worries.

Wu Yaoqing also took a deep breath and calmed himself down, "My lord, we still can't see that the war on the southern front is also intensifying. Master Cao and Lord Mao cooperate very well. Together, Fei Yingdong, An Feiyanggu, and Huang Taiji are a bit overwhelmed, and the Datong army has crossed the side wall and is about to approach Yahu Pass."

  Feng Ziying is also thinking about this issue. Is the Jianzhou Army planning to transfer troops from the southern front to increase the size of the northern front?

However, Cao Wenzhao and Mao Wenlong's offensive was very fierce. If Jianzhou Jurchen dared to deploy troops on the southern front, it would be impossible for him not to be aware of it, and more importantly, if Nurhachi really dared to deploy troops on the southern front, then he would dare to order Cao Wenzhao , Mao Wenlong fought desperately, and directly defeated the Southern Front Jianzhou Army.

   This is not counting that the Datong Army is approaching the Yaful Pass. Once out of the Yaful Pass, it will be Hetuala. Could it be that Nurhachi really dares to ignore his lair?

But all kinds of possibilities exist, the more confusing and chaotic, the more you need to calm down, the cards of all parties are showing up one by one, and they all want to give the other party a fatal blow in the negligence of the other party, but the more this time , the more careful and meticulous is required.

"Yaoqing, judging from the current trend, the Jianzhou Army has taken a step back until the Wujing Camp no longer retreats, and the impact of its armored soldiers has also begun to show, and its cavalry has also gathered around the surrounding area to attack frequently. Dong Yang and I They all feel that Nurhachi may have decided on the Wujing Camp as the battle location. This location is not very good for us, but this location cannot be chosen by our temperament, so I think it is acceptable. The key is this battle. Once the fight starts, we have to make all kinds of considerations and preparations, will the Jianzhou Army only have the current preparations? Will there be other backstabs?"

This is also the question Feng Ziying was thinking about nervously. I thought of it myself, and Nurhachi could also think of it. Even if Wang Yiping and Bai Qice suddenly launched at a critical moment, the Liaodong Army has more than 70,000 people, and the battle line stretches for more than ten miles. It is possible that more than a thousand people in Qice want to create a lot of chaos, but will it be fatal? How dare Nurhachi bet so big?

Wang Yiping is indeed a considerable risk. Once more than 3,000 people fight back, it will be quite fatal on the battlefield, but Wang Yiping is all on the periphery, close to the line of Changyong Fort. The front line of Changyong Fort brought an impact, but if it can affect the main battlefield of Wujing Battalion all at once, that's not necessarily the case.

  Nurhachi dared to make such a big bet just because of this?

  Nurhachi is indeed a gambler, but when it comes to major matters concerning the fate of the entire Jianzhou Jurchen, he dares to take such a risky gamble, completely pinning his hopes on Wang Yiping and Bai Qice, the two insiders?

And you must know that the situation on the southern front is very unfavorable to Jianzhou Jurchen, unless he can win an overwhelming victory on the northern front, or completely destroy himself, even if he loses a little, the situation is unfavorable. , he can pull the situation back into a stalemate war of attrition, and it will also make him lose more than he gains or even be unable to stop. He should consider this risk.

   The more she felt that she had the chance to win, the more uneasy Feng Ziying felt. She always felt that she had missed something, but looking at the map and the sand table, she couldn't find any other factors that might lead to a huge change in the situation.

   "Yaoqing, is there any other information coming back? I mean, no matter the south line, the north line, or the front and rear, I always feel a little unsafe, but I can't find the target and the reason. Please help me figure it out."

  Feng Ziying went to wash his face with cold water, and when he came back, he needed to calm down and not make a sudden decision. Once a decision is made, there is no room for maneuver.

  Jianzhou Army has invested more than 30,000 people on the front line from Wujing Camp to Tiger Skin Station, and the battle is becoming more and more fierce. Liu Dongyang also personally went to the front line to sit in town, but this is not yet the last moment.

Both sides haven't used their full strength yet. The news report shows that Nurhachi still hides 10,000 elites drawn from the southern line in the south of the northern line. They should be used as a reserve team at the last moment. The two flags are elite.

Nurhachi also sits in the central army, and there are 20,000 people in his hands who are joining the battle one after another. However, this style of play always prevents the war from entering the decisive stage all at once, which is a bit surprising. This is more beneficial to our side, unless Nurhachi really I feel that Bai Qice can play a key role in the more than 1,000 people in the Chinese army and Wang Yiping in the Changyong Fort, but is this opportunity so easy to grasp?

"My lord, that's the situation, and that's all there is to it. In fact, the Jianzhou Army is such a big plate. Except for those guarding the rear, there is only the Han army brought by Li Yongfang, but that is also within our control. More than 6,000 of the new troops on the northern front are Han troops,..."

  Wu Yaoqing was interrupted by Feng Ziying before he finished speaking: "Wait a minute, Yaoqing, you said the rear guard..., the rear guard, the Jianzhou Army and the rear guard army? How many are there?"

Wu Yaoqing laughed, "My lord, Jianzhou took Anlezhou the year before last, and Shenyang and Tieling the year before last. Is it possible that such a large piece of land should be guarded by troops? There are too many Han people here, so they can be so relieved." Certainly not possible, Anle Prefecture used to have 5,000 people, but later it was reduced to 3,000 and Eight Banners were garrisoned by elite troops, Tieling Guard also had 3,000 people, and Fushun Station, Puhe Station, Fanhe Station and other places ranged from 3,000 to 5,000 to 1,000. There are also 500 to 880 Banner soldiers stationed at Anbao and Fushun Pass,..."

  Wu Yaoqing said this, so that Feng Ziying didn't wrinkle any deeper, "After all this, the number of Eight Banners soldiers stationed behind them is quite a lot, at least about 10,000."

Wu Yaoqing hesitated for a moment, "After Donghai Savage Jurchen was conquered and annexed by Jianzhou Jurchen, many Savage Jurchens have been training on the site outside the former Guangshun Pass, which is the site of the former Mingta Lumuwei. Because it is too remote, let's explore the horse. There are not many people, last year there were about 5,000 people, but they should have just been recruited at that time,..."
