Chapter 469 Anshan Post Fort ([-]rd update)

Anshan Post Fort, sixty miles southwest of Liaoyang, was first built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the Wanli period as a transmission office.There are many carriages and horses in the post, and merchants are very prosperous.Of course, this was a matter of the Ming Dynasty.

This post castle in Anshan has two hundred and four steps in one mile, with two gates in the southwest and northeast.With the east and west Anshan as the screen, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.The outside of the city wall is covered with blue bricks, and the inside is filled with loess to prevent bombardment.There are wells dug in the city to prevent water shortage.There is a moat around it to prevent sneak attacks, and the tiny land can be described as impenetrable.

The reason why the Anshan Post Fort was built in this way is because it is the gateway to southern and western Liaoning, guarding the key points of the ancient road in southern Liaoning.If Liaoyang is going to the Ningjin line, it must pass through here.

Today's Anshan Post Fort is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and business and travel exchanges have long been cut off.However, because it is extremely important, Jianlu also sent troops to garrison it.

In May of the sixth year of Tianqi, there was a war here.Mao Wenlong led an army to attack Anshan post, forcing Nurhachi, the slave chieftain who had gone to Mongolia at that time, to rush back overnight.

On this day, in the afternoon, in the quiet north of Anshan Post Fort, there was a faint movement suddenly.It surprised the Jianlu defenders on the top of Anshan Post Fort, but when they looked carefully, they were shocked.

The alarm gong of "Dang Dang Dang" sounded immediately, which surprised everyone in the castle.No one moved, they just looked up at the source of the voice in the north of the city in puzzlement.

What is this?How could there be an alarm bell?How can Daikin have enemies here?If the alarm gong is really going off, it should be at the south gate, right?But this is also impossible, the leader of Mang Gurtai Dabeile is there, a few days ago, Haugbeile also led the army to reinforce, with the strength of the Guanning Army, how could it be possible to reach Anshan Post Fort ?
Everyone couldn't figure it out, including Babutai, the guard of Anshan Yibao.He immediately shouted loudly: "Go and investigate, what's going on?"

Babutai, also surnamed Aixinjueluo, is the ninth son of Nurhachi.Speaking of which, his ability was similar to that of Babuhai who had just been killed.In the original history, he was stationed in Luanzhou, which was conquered at the beginning of the third year of Chongzhen.As a result, when the Ming army counterattacked, he didn't even fight a single battle. He ran to Yongping to find Amin, and then fled out of the customs together in despair.

"Report, about [-] Ming troops are coming from the north, and they seem to be attacking our Anshan station!" Jianlu from the head of the city rushed to report loudly.

When Babutai heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise and said, "What? Three thousand Ming troops? How is that possible!"

He was stationed in Anshan Yibao, how could the Guan Ning army appear in the north of the city?You must know that Anshan Post Fort is sandwiched between East and West Anshan, and there is no way to bypass it nearby.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, "Could it be the Dongjiang Ming Army?"

Back then, Babutai was stationed at Anshan Station, and Mao Wenlong led the army to attack, but he was defeated.Speaking of which, one of Babutai's best achievements was the battle between Anshanyi and Dongjiang Army.

"Returning to the master, the slaves are watching the battle at the top of the city. They are dressed in rags. Many of them look like beggars. There are also ordinary people trapped inside. They seem to be the Dongjiang Ming Army."

"Let's go to the top of the city!" Babutai became excited, and strode out immediately.

But as soon as he left, he stopped suddenly, and asked suspiciously: "Come from the north, could it be from Liaoyang? Where is that idiot Babuhai?"

Babutai thought he was more capable than Babuhai, so he didn't say anything else, just said that Babuhai was defeated in North Korea just now, but he was able to garrison Liaoyang, but he was sent to Anshan Yibao This place where the birds don't shit is really a bit unfair!Therefore, in words, he would not be polite to Babuhai.

"Back to the master, it seems that Liaoyang was taken by the Dongjiang Ming army!"

"What?" Babutai was startled when he heard that, then twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a sneer: "Hey, the Dongjiang Ming Army only knows how to attack sneakily. Knowing that my Anshan Post Fort is heavily guarded, they made a big detour to sneak attack Liaoyang! That idiot lost Liaoyang now, let's see how he escaped this time!"

In the impression of Liaodong Jianlu, the Dongjiang Ming Army has always only been sneak attacking.As soon as the Dajin army arrived, or before it arrived, they fled early and never dared to face the enemy head-on.

Thinking of this, Babutai stopped thinking about it, and strode out again, and soon arrived at the northern city.

He looked up, and at this time the Ming army outside the city was getting closer.Just by looking at it, you can tell that this is definitely the Dongjiang Ming Army!

I saw that the Ming soldiers were mostly in ragged clothes, coming along the official road in a mess.Many of them don't even have worn mandarin duck battle robes, and they are soldiers with a wooden spear.A few men on horseback galloped up and down the line, shouting at the infantry.

The number of people was indeed a little bit, and the dust brought up along the way was so large that it even covered the rear of the Ming army, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Master, look at that!" A Jianlu pointed to a cavalry outside the city, and said to Babutai with a little surprise.

When Babutai heard this, he looked along his fingers and immediately grinned: "The defeated general is definitely the Dongjiang Ming army!"

It turned out that the person he saw was the one who had come to fight Anshan Post Castle before, and was also included in Da Jin's wanted portraits. He was Mao Wenlong's most powerful impostor, Mao Chengzuo!
I saw that Mao Chengzuo seemed very angry, and he usually drove his horse back and forth, yelling and cursing his subordinates loudly.

"Master, look quickly, look quickly, that one over there!"

After Babutai heard it, he looked around according to the prompt, and immediately found another old acquaintance.Compared with the previous Mao Chengzuo, this person is more familiar to him. It is either someone else, or Liu Xingzhi who was an official in Dajin before and finally defected to Dongjiang.

When Babutai saw it, he became a little excited.Liu Xingzuo fled Dajin with his brothers, which was a heavy blow to Dajin's prestige.He knew that Da Khan had always wanted to arrest these Liu family brothers, but it was a pity that these Liu family brothers belonged to rats, and they never came out after hiding in Dongjiang.It's a godsend to dare to come here this time!As long as this battle is won, I won't have to stay in this wretched place anymore!
The city wall of Anshan Post Fort is about three feet high, with corner towers at the four corners, and even waist towers in the southeast and northwest sections. There is also a moat outside the city. It is simply impossible to attack.

The Ming army outside the city stopped within a stone's throw of the city, and formed a group in a mess. It was really a mess.Just looking at the hectic scene of Mao Chengzuo and Liu Xingzhi, you can see how chaotic it is.

"Come on, assemble the whole army!" Babutai looked at the chaos outside the city and shouted loudly.

The prisoner next to him was shocked when he heard this, and quickly reminded: "Master, the Dongjiang army outside the city is probably more than three thousand, and we only have six hundred people. This..."
