Anshan Posthouse is only about 60 miles away from the important town of Liaoyang. When they attacked Anshan Posthouse last night, many of the captives escaped. But there seemed to be no cavalry. But no matter what, Jianlu in Liaoyang will definitely get the news soon.
Therefore, after taking off his armor, Li Laiheng immediately ordered most of the soldiers to rest quickly and would set off in an hour. He explained to Chen Mingyu: "In fact, we should set off immediately, but we don't have one man and two horses. It's night, and the horses can't stand it. We have to let the horses have a good rest."
"..." Chen Mingyu was speechless again and asked Li Laiheng, "Can we people just endure it? It's not like we really have to go to Liaoyang to see the scenery. We will probably fight again!"
When Li Laiheng heard this, he chuckled and said, "What's this? Back then, I had to march and fight without sleep for three days and three nights."
After hearing what he said, Chen Mingyu immediately remembered it. Li Laiheng was born a bandit, and he was indeed kicked out by the army at the beginning, so he probably couldn't have a good rest.
Thinking of this, when he looked at Li Laiheng, he stopped talking.
At this time, he finally understood why Duke Xingguo said he would conquer the hinterland of Liaodong, why Li Laiheng was more suitable! It is estimated that even if Brother Yan Yingyuan comes, Li Laiheng may not be more suitable.
As expected, they had just won such a big victory and had not suffered much losses. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Army were all very excited and could not sleep at all. However, Li Laiheng and the soldiers he brought who were originally outlaws were snoring loudly and snoring louder.
In response to this situation, not only Chen Mingyu, but also the officers and soldiers of the Ming army, including Guan Ning's cavalry, all became very respectful of these comrades whom they had secretly despised.
Of the two places, Haizhou City and Anshan Posthouse, Anshan Posthouse was more attackable. However, these bandit comrades chose to attack Anshan Posthouse, leaving Haizhou City, which was easier to fight, to them.
Now, with the great victory, people still want to go to Liaoyang to see the scenery, but I have never thought about it. In order to seize the time to rest, others would fall asleep when they said they were going to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep at all.
Sometimes people really can’t be compared!
The excitement of a great victory is the best fusion agent. This situation is not only suitable for the Jianlu, who actually have many internal conflicts, but also for the Ming army.
Seeing the behavior of their comrades who were born as bandits, Guan Ning's cavalry army imitated their behavior and tried their best to get some rest.
An hour later, Li Laiheng woke up on time, but Chen Mingyu and the soldiers of Guan Ning's cavalry army were in a daze and just felt like sleeping.
Li Laiheng went to check the horses first, and then ordered Chen Mingyu: "You guys rest for another hour, and then come here with bluff. I will take the people to set off first, and I will be the vanguard. Anyway, it is impossible for Jianlu to figure us out now." The truth and falsehood, scare them to death!"
He is the commander-in-chief. If he orders the whole army to march out, then Chen Mingyu and others have no choice but to follow suit. But Li Laiheng obviously took good care of them and let them rest for another hour, which made Chen Mingyu and the soldiers of Guan Ning's cavalry very grateful. Some soldiers even said that there was no need to rest and they could set off.
After hearing this, Li Laiheng did not show any pretense and took all the soldiers who could set off. The other soldiers continued to rest in Anshan Posthouse and made preparations to burn down Anshan Posthouse. Then, he took nearly two thousand horses and set off for Liaoyang.
……………………
Liaoyang has always been the most important town in Liaodong. After the Ming Dynasty occupied Liaodong at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it took more than ten years to build and expand the old city site into a masonry structure with a circumference of twenty-four miles. Many square cities.
At that time, there were more than 5,700 hectares of farmland in Liuwei, Liaoyang, and rents were collected from immigrants after ten years. As a result, agricultural production developed rapidly, and handicrafts and commerce were revitalized. It became the political, economic, and cultural center of the Ming Dynasty in the northeastern region, and it was also the military command center. The Liaodong Capital Command and Envoy Office, which governed the entire Liaodong, was located in Liaoyang.
There were so-called nine-sided towns in the Ming Dynasty, and Liaoyang was one of them. Originally, Nurhachi once regarded Liaoyang as his capital, but later moved it to Shenyang.
Therefore, the importance of Liaoyang is self-evident. The person sitting here is a member of the Aisin Gioro family, Nurhachi's grandson, Aisin Gioro Banbulshan, who once participated in the war to conquer Korea and is now a third-class general.
If the original historical development were to follow, he would have entered the customs to participate in the war against Li Zicheng's troops, and was later named the auxiliary Duke. It's just that this guy surrendered to Obai and was eventually beheaded by Kang Mazi.
At the moment, he was sleeping until he woke up naturally. He was having breakfast when he was surprised by his men who rushed in in a hurry.
"What, the Anshan Inn fell?" Bumble listened to Shan's ears, as if he had heard a big joke. After asking, his face sank and he shouted coldly, "You came to have fun with the master so early in the morning. This kind of joke, it seems that I am usually too nice to you!"
When the servant who made the report heard it, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees, raised his head, and reported again with a panic on his face, "Master, even if I have the courage, I don't dare to joke about this matter. ! The soldiers from Anshan Posthouse have fled back and collapsed at the city gate from exhaustion. It was the people at the city gate who came to report the news first!"
"What?" Bumble listened, but still had an expression of disbelief on his face.
It's no wonder that Anshan Posthouse is located in the hinterland of Liaodong, and Haizhou City in the south is guarded by the famous general Ying Erdai. Besides, the two fortified cities of Ningyuan and Jinzhou were both in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, so heavy troops were stationed there. There was no news at all beforehand, and now you come and tell me that Anshan Station has fallen!
This must be crazy. Did the Ming army fall from the sky or suddenly appear from the ground?
However, he also understood that, as this slave said, this kind of thing is really not a joke. Otherwise, under the charge of lying about military information, beheading is a beheading.
And the expression on this slave's face didn't look like he was lying.
This time, Ban Bulshan was even more surprised: Has Anshan Inn really fallen?
Yes or no, just go and take a look and you will know.
At this time, he didn't care about breakfast. He ordered all the generals in the city to assemble and quickly sent back those who had escaped.
Liaoyang City was heavily deployed with troops, including the troops of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Han Dynasties. After hearing the general's order, they all rushed to the government office.
At first, they had no idea that something was wrong and that the Lord was going to call them. But when they arrived near the government office, they found that other people were rushing over, and they knew that something big had happened. Otherwise, the general would not be able to gather to discuss matters.
However, at this time, what can happen to the Qing Dynasty? For a moment, they couldn't figure it out.
After waiting in the lobby, Bamboulshan, who was usually the last one to appear in every military meeting, was already here. There was another person kneeling in the middle of the lobby, talking about something.
Although they didn't hear anything when they first entered the lobby, they knew that something bad had definitely happened when they saw Ban Bulshan's face looking as gloomy as rain.
They didn't dare to disturb them. After listening for a while, they were all dumbfounded: What, Anshan Posthouse was captured by the Ming army last night? How can this be!
Really, this news was so unbelievable that every real and fake Tatar who heard the news was stunned, and their expressions seemed to be carved out of molds.
"Is this a mistake somewhere?" Leader You Jianlu couldn't help but said.
After hearing this, the other leaders also agreed.
"Yes, there is no news from Ningyuan or Jinzhou. Suddenly, it is said that Haizhou and Anshan Castle have been captured. It is impossible to hear it!"
"Yes, Mr. Ying Erdai of Haizhou is a famous general of the Qing Dynasty. He led the troops to defeat North Korea and surrendered. How could it be possible that it fell just as it was said to have fallen? There is no news at all!"
"..."
In short, this group of real and fake Tatars is so real that it’s hard to understand.
In fact, Bamboulshan was almost the same, he was still emotionally unbelievable.
However, before he could speak, several more escaped soldiers from Anshan Posthouse were sent over from the city gate. Seeing their embarrassed looks and saying the same thing in unison, even if it was difficult for them to accept it, they had to admit that Anshan Inn and Haizhou City had fallen.
In response to this, Ban Bulshan looked very ugly. He looked at the group of defeated soldiers kneeling below and asked: "What is the situation in southern Liaoning and western Liaoning now? Apart from Haizhou City, what is the situation in other towns? Ming Army How many people are here?"
However, these were all the defeated soldiers of Anshan Posthouse. They had all fallen asleep before and were awakened by the emergency report. When they were about to rescue Lord Ying Erdai, they were suddenly attacked outside the city.
To be honest, they also went from a state of disbelief to shock, and finally fled in panic overnight. They are still confused now, how can they possibly answer these questions.
Seeing this situation, Bambulshan couldn't help being furious, but he had no choice but to report the information he had learned to Shengjing first, while the whole city was under martial law, and at the same time he sent detective horses to Anshan Posthouse to investigate the information. .
Although Huang Taiji deployed almost all the cavalry that could be mobilized, in an important town like Liaoyang, there are still necessary scouting horses. In addition, the personal guards of each military general also have horses.
However, before Tan Ma could leave the city, the city guard sent someone to report that the vanguard of the Ming Cavalry had been spotted outside the city.
Upon hearing this, all the true and false Tatars were shocked. The Ming army had just captured the Anshan Posthouse last night, and today the Ming cavalry appeared outside Liaoyang City. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty had assembled heavy troops to invade?
With this doubt, Banbulshan immediately led his men and leaders to the top of the city to watch.
At the top of Liaoyang City, Jianlu had been waiting for a long time, and there were many soldiers. They were all looking at the outside of the city as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Many people did not even realize that their master had arrived at the top of the city.
