Anti-Qing and Fuming: Beginning with Summoning the Fire Phoenix

Chapter 154 City Gate
Spring blossoms.

Liaodong, an extremely cold place in Kyushu, ushered in the warmth of being closed for a whole winter.

The mountains are full of colorful flowers in full bloom, and the scenery is too beautiful to behold.

A burst of rapid, chaotic, and thunderous hoofbeats broke the tranquility of the mountains.

This is a cavalry team of hundreds of people.

Judging from the armor and helmet on his body, it is a Manchu Eight Banners army.

But looking from the top of the heads of some people who are not wearing helmets, it is not the Eight Banners money rattail.

There is also a bag with a wooden handle exposed in front of the saddle, which looks a little different at first glance.

Soon.

The cavalry team slowed down and came to a stream.

The leading young man looked at the sky and asked the man beside him: "Wang Hai, how far is it from here to Shenyang Zhongwei?"

"Marshal, if there is no situation on the way, we will be able to reach Shenyang Zhongwei in about one hour."

Wang Hai is Wang Laoliu, the surrendered soldier of the Green Camp.

This time when we came to Shenyang, since everyone was unfamiliar with the route and other conditions, he was the one to lead the way.

"Okay, let's bury the pot and make a meal now. Rest for an hour when you're full and then go on your way."

After speaking, he turned over and got off the horse.

A group of people followed closely
Due to the abundance of fish in the stream, many people went to get some to make soup.

Shen Xuan sat on a pebble.

He picked up a small stone and drew it on the ground according to the knowledge and route in his memory.

Along the way, I had a lot of chats with Wang Hai, a former veteran of Jiubian.

Combined with the previous knowledge, the front and rear connections of the entire Liaodong were smoothed out.

Getting started is much easier now.

The first guard station in Liaodong, the military town, was in the early years of Hongwu.

Guangning is the commander and branch of the capital, and the governor and general garrison.

Liaoyang is the command and envoy of Liaodong Capital, and it is the resident of the deputy commander-in-chief and patrol officers.

Because of the establishment of two defensive towns.

All commanders and envoys set up troops in the east, west, south, north and middle five routes,

However, there are only three road cities where troops are actually stationed, namely Qiantun Weicheng on the South Road, Yizhou Weicheng on the West Road,

The Kaiyuan Acropolis on the North Road, and the other road cities are together with the town city.

There are 25 guards under his rule.

Also known as Liaodongwei.

Belonging to each route, nine defensive cities such as Guangning, Ningyuan, Tieling, Shenyang, etc. have been established separately.

Its front has stretched thousands of miles.

Today, Jianlu has seized the land of Ming Dynasty.Since most of Mongolia has been incorporated into the Mongolian Eight Banners.

And North Korea behind him has long been beaten to his knees and begged for mercy.

Now, troops are only stationed in Shenyang Zhongwei and Jinzhou.

Although it is said that there are tens of thousands of people, except for the old and weak, women and children, there are only a few thousand real soldiers.

The so-called "all people are soldiers" in later generations is actually just a system of integrating soldiers and farmers.

It is only in a certain country where hot weapons have matured that the system of all people can really be implemented.

and so.

Take Shenyang Zhongwei.

Basically, you can sit and own the three provinces of Liaodong.

As for the Jianlu in Jinzhou, there is nothing to fear.

The reason why Shen Xuan asked his subordinates to pretend to be soldiers of the Eight Banners was to take down Shenyang Zhongwei in one go.

After all, there are not enough manpower now, and there is no sharp weapon to attack the city. If there is a protracted war, the supply will be seriously insufficient.

According to records.

In the Ming Dynasty, the city wall of Zhongwei City in Shenyang had a circumference of more than nine miles and a height of nearly eight meters.

There are two moats outside the city wall, both of which are three meters wide.

There used to be four city gates.

After Huang Taiji came to power, Shenyang Zhongweicheng underwent a series of transformations and underwent great changes.

The street changed from a cross shape to a bowl-shaped street, and four gates were changed to eight gates. Outside the eight gates, there was an urn city, and two gates were opened on each urn city.

The city wall has been increased by three meters, and its thickness has also increased by almost nine meters. The inner and outer surfaces are built with bricks and stones, which is stronger and taller than before.

Cannons will definitely not be missing on this kind of city wall.

Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on simple siege.

Only by using surprise troops can we achieve our goal of controlling this acropolis.

There can be no error in this.

have eaten.

I had a bowl of fresh fish soup.

Except for those on duty, everyone just found a place to lie down and rest.

Shen Xuan didn't feel sleepy.

He still had to continue thinking about the next step, strategies and tactics.

After a long time.

Shen Xuan let out a long breath
Man proposes, God disposes.

Nothing can be done [-]%.

Just like the Art of War said, any time, place, and harmony between people is the ultimate.

night.

A cavalry team of hundreds of people came to Fujin Gate.

There are torches on the closed gates.

Cui Yuanwu faced the city wall and shouted in Jurchen language: "I am Ali from Zhenglan Banner. Open the door."

After the second wave of Eight Banners soldiers were ambushed in Anji Town.

Shen Xuan knew that the plan could be implemented, and some Jiannu who were injured and survived were healed by Shan Xiuran.

Under the interrogation again, the names and positions of the generals and generals were clarified.

Most of the veterans in Dongjiang Town can speak Manchu.

Later, even the details of the voice and tone of the speech were almost learned.

While everyone was waiting nervously.

The guards upstairs reported to the Shangguan.

A man walked up to the city tower and asked in Manchu: "Sir, Jingqinihafan issued an order a few days ago that large numbers of soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the city at night."

As soon as the other party said this.

It also made Shen Xuan a little dumb, which was unexpected.

Generally, such orders are issued during wartime.

Could it be that the other party smelled a dangerous breath from it.

Shen Xuan: "Tell him that there is an urgent military report."

"I have an urgent military report, open the door!" Cui Yuanwu said angrily.

However, the other party said helplessly: "My lord, it's not that I don't want to open the door. It's really difficult for military law. If I open the door, I will lose my head. I'm sorry! If your lord has anything to say, I can find someone to report it for you."

"Presumptuous! It's a big deal in the military, how can it be trifling." Cui Yuanwu roared.

Shen Xuan's thought flashed: "You tell him to call Jingqi Nihafan!"

"Marshal, is this appropriate?" Li Xinqing asked immediately.

Shen Xuan: "It's okay, let's just say that. He definitely doesn't dare to go. Then, after you think about it for a while, you say that you bring a few entourages into the city empty-handed, and this guy will definitely agree. If he still doesn't do it, you can threaten him with words. "

"Then you ask someone to invite Jingqinihafan to come and say that I have something important to report." Cui Yuanwu's tone sounded very impatient.

The other party thought for a moment: "Sir, how about you wait until dawn before entering the city?"

"The important matter of the military plane is delayed, can you take responsibility?" Cui Yuanwu said angrily.

Just about to speak.

unexpectedly.

But the other party spoke.

"How about it, my lord, you let the cavalry behind you fall back within a stone's throw. How about you take a few followers into the city to meet Jingqi Nihafan?"

Cui Yuanwu was about to agree.

Shen Xuan: "You ask him how many people he brings. The tone must be very unhappy."

Cui Yuanwu then spoke out as instructed.

"Under ten people are not allowed to ride horses and carry weapons."

heard the answer.

Cui Yuanwu pretended to snort coldly.

Asked: "Marshal, how many people will you bring in?"

"Including me, six people can go in. The rest wait to retreat."

Shen Xuan's tone was firm.Don't allow others to interrupt.

Cui Yuanwu waved his hand.

The cavalry team behind them retreated.

at this time.

Only Shen Xuan, Gao Dazhuang, Yuan Lang, Cui Yuanwu, Shen Hui, and Li Xinqing were left outside the door.

Get off your horse.

While tying the horse to the bridgehead.

Squeak!

The city gate opened.
