On the wide mountain road, Wu Nian, Long Qie, Liu Wu, Wei Ru and others led 3,000 men and horses to cut off the rear.
Three thousand elite soldiers who ambushed two Mongolian and Yuan commanders suffered heavy losses. Now Wu Nian gathered these three thousand troops from all sides.
This can be regarded as the tradition of Beishan Fort.
mob.
From the beginning of the war, Wu Nian's soldiers were all ragtag. There is really no time to train. After that, the fighting got bigger and bigger, either in the war or on the way to fight.
He had no time at all to reorganize these armies. If his army can be reorganized like the Wei army.
The combat effectiveness is completely different.
The four of them rode horses and walked in the center of the team, under heavy protection. Long Qie's current situation is not good.
He had been hungry for a long time. He had just eaten a full meal before going down the mountain. Not only was he skinny from hunger, but he had also lost a lot of muscle and it would take a long time to replenish it.
Physically weak, but mentally he was very excited.
"Brother... no. General. What are you going to do next? This time you brought back more than 20,000 people. With so many people, Beishan Fort can't hold it. General abandoned Guyun City, the mountain It’s a pity for Guangcheng.”
Long Qie shook his head, his tone full of reluctance.
He had already heard about the matter. Wu Nian was able to attack two cities, which was beyond his expectation. But it really made him heartbroken to have the city but not to have the city.
"It is better to save people than to save land and cities. Brother, think about yourself. You captured a county with 78,000 or 80,000 people, but did you hold it? The county is too big and has many places under its control. There is even more land outside the city. You can let the Meng Yuan soldiers form military formations to attack the city, but they are just living targets. Taking the city is one thing, defending the city is another." At this point, Wu Nian glanced at Long Qie with a meaningful look. 's shook his head.
Long Qie's face turned red and he stopped mentioning the city. The fact that he was guarding the county seat and was beaten by the Mongolian soldiers was simply a past event that was too painful to look back on.
It’s a special code. When I saw the county seat, my eyes lit up. Now I think about it, it’s really stupid. It would be better to capture a hundred-household residence and guard the mountain fortress like Wu Nian.
"Fortress?!!!" Long Qie's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of this, and he looked directly at Wu Nian with a look of anticipation.
Wu Nian looked at his eyes and knew that he had figured it out. He said with a smile: "It seems that you have figured it out, brother."
"With more strength, of course we have to separate. Of course Beishan Fort can't hide too many people. Before that, I had people build a Mangya Mountain City outside Beishan Fort. It was a huge mountain city that could accommodate 20,000 people. .After the construction is completed, I will divide the population of Beishan Fort and let Tieniu have a force of a thousand households to guard Mangya Mountain City."
"Use the vast mountainous area as the base to surround the county. This is a good strategy. I have planned it in advance. There is a Chengshan Fort to the southwest of Beishan Fort and a Tiancheng Fort to the southeast. The scope of these three castles , forming a triangle within a radius of fifty miles."
"After returning to Beishan Castle, my brother and Liu Wu will also separate and capture a castle each."
"I have a hunch. The Mongolian people will not let me develop in peace. They will definitely launch a more violent attack. Mangya Mountain City, Beishan Fort, Chengshan Fort, Tiancheng Fort. We are guarding the castles in the ravines that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. , isn’t it better to deal with the vast mountainous areas than to seize the county seat?”
Wu Nian started planning this plan very early. Beishan Fort is a good example. Although the Mongolian soldiers were also very good at mountain warfare.
However, the military functions of the hundred-household houses originally built by Liaodong generals in the ravines were too strong.
The Mongolian people can only devote three thousand captains to the army of ten thousand households.
Several mountain towns form a triangle, bringing a sufficiently stable area. You can collect food from mountain villages in the area and recruit soldiers.
For guerrilla warfare, this is a big base area. It is difficult for the Mongolian people to defeat them, but they can attack the Mongolian people anytime and anywhere.
Taking advantage of the location, people and people.
Now Wu Nian is very confident. He sent Tieniu to Mangya Mountain City, and sent out Zhang Jin and Long Qie. They are all trustworthy generals.
If you can keep it, you can definitely keep it.
Long Qie's eyes lit up just now, he had indeed thought of it. Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay. Not only these three castles, there are many densely packed houses in the mountainous areas. As our strength increases, we can occupy all the mountain castles and let Meng Meng The Yuan people occupy the county seat."
"If everything goes well, we will be able to occupy half of Liaodong within a few years."
"Yes. As long as you give me time, these vast mountains will all belong to us. Recovering Liaodong and expelling the Tartars are by no means empty words."
Wu Nian nodded heavily, with a confident smile on his face, and his brows were full of energy.
"Hey." Wei Ru looked at the two people who were beaming and planning their future. He suddenly sighed and became unhappy.
"Miss Wei, what's wrong with you? But is there anything missing in my plan?" Wu Nian frowned slightly and asked seriously.
After all, a plan is just a plan. When implemented, there may be many problems.
Wu Nian is not an arrogant and intolerant person. If Wei Ru notices a loophole, he will accept it humbly and correct it.
"Brother Wu, your idea is right. These hundreds of houses echo the county towns. This is the defense system created by the ancestors of the Liaodong generals themselves. Not to mention the army of the Liaodong generals, they remain in the Chu State As long as the fighting level during the founding period is not rotten to the core, we can rely on this defense system to resist. No matter how strong the Mongolian people are, they will not be able to defeat them."
"They may invade a few county towns, but they will eventually fall into a war of attrition, unable to afford the logistics and retreat. It's a pity that the descendants of the Liaodong generals are really incompetent."
Wei Ru shook his head and sighed. Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought of her father, who had been dead for many days.
If only half of the commanders among Liaodong generals could compare to her father. Her father would not have guarded the lonely city, and was eventually killed.
These cities, each hundred houses, and the stretching mountainous area in Liaodong formed a defense system.
Didn't work at all.
Wu Nian saw Wei Ru's sentimentality, but didn't know how to persuade him.
The words "I express my condolences and accept the change", "My father's spirit in heaven does not want to see you like this", these words are too pale.
Wei Ru's father died, and half of the Wei family died. Only one sentence can help Wei Ru, and the blood debt will be repaid with blood.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
"Huh?" Wu Nian frowned slightly and turned to look behind him. This is the sentinel horse he set up in the rear. If there are Mongolian people leading troops to pursue, the sentry horse will gallop to report.
Wan Yanxian was unwilling to fail and pursued him?
