Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

After Huang Taiji and his men decided on the strategy.

The three armies set out quickly.

Because the situation was urgent, they didn't have much time to prepare.

They could only gather troops and collect food and supplies while setting out on the road.

Aisin-Gioro Daishan was assigned to the front battlefield.

He knew that Huang Taiji did this on purpose.

He wanted to use Mao Wenlong and others to consume the military strength under Daishan.

Even want to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Completely eliminate this threat.

So Daishan left Shenyang City.

The journey was so slow that it didn't feel like a march or a war, but rather like a picnic.

After passing Benxi, southeast of Shenyang, we arrived at Gaoguan Town area.

Daishan directly ordered the army to station there.

Just stop there and don't move.

Aisin-Gioro Duoduo was only fifteen years old, and was quite brave in fighting.

However, I don't come into contact with much intrigue.

Duoduo asked Daishan in confusion: "Second brother, why did we stop moving?

The situation on the front line is urgent now, we should rush to the front line to provide support as soon as possible!"

Daishan: "Fifteenth brother, if I am not mistaken, this place will soon become the front line."

Duoduo: "Ah! Will our place soon become the front line? Second brother, do you mean that Mao Wenlong and his men will soon fight their way here?"

Dai Shan: "Yes, they should be on their way. This is the main road leading to Shenyang, and the terrain is relatively complex. This is the battlefield I specially selected..."

Duoduo: "Second brother, why did you choose this place as the battlefield? The terrain is complicated and not conducive to cavalry charges. This is very disadvantageous to us!"

Dai Shan: "I heard that they have powerful magic weapons. Cavalry charges will not pose much of a threat to them. Instead, they will only make us die faster..."

Ok!

Duo Feng felt more and more confused the more he listened.

I don’t understand what Daishan is thinking?

However, in the next few days, news continued to come from the front line.

This confirmed Daishan's conjecture.

On October 17, Baishan fell and the defenders were completely wiped out.

On October 18, Tonghua fell and all the defenders were wiped out.

On October 20th, Liaoyuan fell and the defending troops were almost wiped out.

On the same day, Fengcheng fell and the local defenders were once again completely annihilated...

……

Bad news keeps coming from the front.

Duoduo and Bo Hetuo were all confused.

The two of them ran to ask Daishan what was going on?

Dai Shan: "I know what you are surprised about. Do you think it is incredible that Mao Wenlong and his men were able to capture so many distant cities in such a short period of time?"

Tudor: “Yes, how did they do it?”

Dai Shan: "Because their army was too large, they were divided into multiple groups and marched in unison, attacking different cities almost at the same time..."

Aixinjuelu Bohetuo: "That's not right! Although Mao Wenlong's troops are stronger than the Ming army, they can't easily break through those cities!"

Dai Shan: "Because the Mao Wenlong today is no longer the Mao Wenlong of the past! He has the so-called magic weapon in his hands, and he has many soldiers and generals under his command.

Judging from the situation this time, Mao Wenlong and his men have launched a full-scale attack. Do you think we can hold on?"

Duoduo: "We are fighting on our home ground now, so we can wait for the enemy to tire themselves out. And if we fully mobilize, we will have more troops than them, so we will definitely be able to hold on!"

Aixinjuelu Bohetuo nodded: "Duoduo is right, and winter is coming soon. By then, Mao Wenlong and his men will definitely withdraw their troops..."

Daishan shook his head and said, “When Mao Wenlong and his men first attacked the Korean Peninsula, they had many battles with our people on both sides of the Yalu River.

I have carefully studied the battle reports and came to a horrifying conclusion - we are no match for Mao Wenlong and his men!

As for the geographical advantages and military strength advantages you mentioned, in the face of real magic weapons, the role of geographical advantages will become insignificant.

As for the military strength, how many real men of the Eight Banners do we have? Only tens of thousands! If the war goes badly, those bondservants and slaves will definitely run away faster than the other.

By then, our only available troops will be a few tens of thousands of men from the Eight Banners, and the enemy has several times more troops than us. How do you think we can continue this war?"

How to do?

Are you going to just turn around and run?

And listen to Daishan's opinion.

It is obvious that he is ready to run away.

Unexpectedly, Daishan continued, "Don't think too much, just do what you should do.

We will just wait here for the enemy to arrive, and then have a good fight with them..."

……

the other side.

Kong Youde led the central army northward.

After crossing the Yalu River.

Li Jingxian was in the south, Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong were in the north.

Kong Youde led the team in the center.

They marched forward towards the northwest with unstoppable force.

Wei Dayong felt a little bored.

He said to Kong Youde: "The enemy is too weak! I feel like we have been busy marching all the way. When will a stronger enemy come and let us have a good fight?"

Kong Youde: "Don't worry. Ye Bushou in the front has just sent a message that my second son Daishan is waiting for us in the front."

Monk Wei: "Oh, is this Daishan very powerful?"

Kong Youde: "If we were to fight with cold weapons like before, then this guy would be a formidable figure.

It’s different now. In front of our guns and cannons, he can at most withstand a little more beating than others. Daishan is no more than that! "

Monk Wei: "Okay! Let me take the lead this time."

Kong Youde: “Okay…”

……

October 25th.

Kong Youde's troops arrived near Gaoguan Town.

Encountered the Tatars led by Daishan.

The two armies had just met, facing each other from a distance of several miles.

Monk Wei was about to lead his troops to launch an attack.

Kong Youde: "Wait a minute, the place chosen by the enemy is not conducive to their cavalry deployment and charge.

However, if the enemy wants to escape and goes directly into the woods, it will be difficult for us to completely wipe out the enemy.

Besides, it is not far from nightfall, so we might as well set up camp and rest. We will send out troops at night, quietly outflank them from both sides, and then launch the attack after daybreak..."

Wei Dayong: "Alright, I'll listen to you. Let them live one more night."

Kong Youde and Wei Dayong had a good plan.

But Daishan refused to cooperate.

Kong Youde and his men are setting up camp.

Daishan had already ordered Aisin-Gioro Bohetuo to lead more than 2000 cavalrymen to form a battle line.

Then he rode slowly forward.

Pressed towards Kong Youde and the others.

This is to take advantage of the fact that Kong Youde and his men are not yet stable.

Moreover, the troops have come from a long distance and have not yet had sufficient rest.

Test the fighting power of Kong Youde and his men...
