I'm really not the carpenter emperor

……

Amin went back to the tent, called all the leaders under the banner to make some arrangements, but couldn't sleep no matter what.

He was not worried about the success or failure of the war like Nurhachi, but he was excited because he would be the vanguard tomorrow, the first to break into Liaoyang, and lead his men to slaughter.

He lay on the temporary straw bunk, thinking that tomorrow he would dispatch troops quickly regardless of whether the south wind that Fan Xiucai said arrived or not.

With the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, it swept the Ming army.

So that Father Khan can see that without that scholar "borrowing the east wind", his Daikin cavalry can be invincible, and the hard fist is the truth.

Chapter 361 Fan Wencheng, a mediocre man in the world

At three quarters of Yin time, outside Shenyang city.

The Houjin Daying camp was crowded with people, and the flags covered the sky and the sun. Even though the cover was intentional, the dust raised by the horseshoes still floated into the air, which made the Ming soldiers who were patrolling the night at the head of Shenyang city discover the clue.

A city inspector at the East City Gate found out about this and quickly reported it to Li Chengyin, the commander in chief.

At the same time, the Hou Jin army had already made the final arrangements before going south. Nurhachi led all the Baylors and Eight Banners cavalry gathered in the camp, as if they were waiting for something.

Amin was wearing a lightning rod helmet, holding the rein of the horse with one hand, and was cursing.

"Old scholar, didn't you say that the south wind turns south at three o'clock in Yinshi? Why is it still the southwest wind? What's the point? Don't you watch the sky at night?"

"What did you see!"

As the sun gradually rose, the rest of the people gradually became irritable. When Nurhachi heard the scolding from here getting louder, he drew out his saber and said coldly:

"Shut up."

With an order, the audience fell silent.

At this moment, the sky gradually changed.

"You listen..."

Everyone in Houjin pricked up their ears, holding their breath and concentrating on feeling it. After a while, the wind and sand gradually picked up and hit the iron helmets behind their heads hard.

"It's up, the south wind is up!"

Huang Taiji laughed and raised his saber:

"Warriors of the Eight Banners, follow me to the south, capture Liaoyang, and capture Xiong Tingbi alive!"

"Conquer Liaoyang and capture Xiong Tingbi alive!!"

All the big and small leaders of the Hou Jin Army admired him one after another. They lifted Fan Wencheng up and threw him into the air, cheering and jumping up.

Nurhachi looked up at the increasingly violent wind and sand, but he was in a good mood. Under such a wind, the Eight Banners cavalry seemed to be helped by a god!

At this time, even if reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty come, they are confident that they will be defeated in one fell swoop, and the glory of the Battle of Saerhu will be restored again!

Amin seemed to have forgotten what he had just scolded Fan Wencheng when he turned his head around. He led his own cavalry and rushed out first.

Huang Taiji sneered, this guy is going to fight for merit, there is no way, who let him be the pioneer hand-picked by Da Khan!

Soon, the soldiers and horses of the Houjin Army camp outside Shenyang City continued to withdraw, rolling their horseshoes, and heading straight to Liaoyang accompanied by the wind and sand.

At the head of Shenyang City, Li Chengyin looked at the Houjin army camp billowing in dust and smoke in the distance, with a solemn expression, and said to the general: "Hurry up and call Man Guilai!"

Man Gui didn't sleep all night, his eyelids twitched wildly, always feeling that something big was about to happen.

He came to the city wall, looked at the cavalry of the Houjin army that was heading south continuously, and did not speak.

Man Gui's eyes are still calm, but his heart is not calm.

Liaoyang City maintains the entire Liaoshen Plain and even the direction of the battle in Liaodong. Once the slave army storms at any cost, it will be extremely unfavorable for the imperial court.

The land road leading to North Korea will be completely cut off. Even if Fuyuwei is saved, it will become a piece of useless fat.

Just put it near the slave chief's mouth and let him bite!

There is nothing to arrange, Man Gui took a deep breath, trying to make his tone calm, and slowly ordered:

"Prepare fast horses and flying pigeons. In short, use all means to report this matter to Mr. Jinglue at the fastest speed!"

Ren Guozhong said worriedly:

"Marshal, the wind direction has changed. Flying pigeons and fast horses can't travel long, and their speed is also greatly reduced. When they arrive in Liaoyang, there may not be much time for Jinglue to arrange."

Li Chengyin sighed.

"It's over..."

"The direction of the wind will change no matter how you say it. Could it be that God favors Jiannu?"

All the generals were dejected and silent.

Indeed, the southwest wind is extremely beneficial to the defense of the city. As long as it lasts for a few more days, when reinforcements arrive, they can counterattack or stalemate.

Whether it is a counterattack or a stalemate, it is very beneficial to Daming.

However, in the critical two days when Zhu Xieyuan was about to arrive in Liaoshen, the wind direction changed from southwest to southerly. In this way, the cavalry of Jiannu were even more powerful on the plain.

No matter which way the reinforcements want to reach Liaoyang, they are marching against the wind. They are very likely to be defeated by Jiannu one by one, repeating the tragedy of the Battle of Saerhu!

Man Gui glared at them and shouted:

"Even if Shenyang is lost, Liaoyang must be kept. Liaoyang is the foundation of the imperial court in Liaodong, and there is no room for loss!"

"Once Liaoyang is lost, Liaodong will be over!"

He took a deep breath and said:

"Prepare the fastest horse, no matter what, send the news to Liaoyang as soon as possible!"

Li Chengyin's heart trembled, he clasped his fists and said:

"As ordered!"

……

It is indeed a good move for Hou Jin's army to take advantage of the wind and go south.

If the opponent is not an experienced general, it is very likely that he will miss the perfect opportunity to block this day and night, and thus fall into a passive position.

Before that, even Xiong Tingbi didn't believe that Nurhachi would be so desperate.

But it's a pity that Xiong Tingbi has calculated all possible changes in the battle situation, including this change in wind direction, and the sudden southward movement of the Jin army.

Fan Wencheng was highly respected in Hou Jinzhong for his successful calculation of the time to change the south wind.

However, Xiong Tingbi probably knew that the southwest wind was about to turn five days before Fan Wencheng's "Night Viewing of the Sky", so he immediately made corresponding arrangements.

For Xiong Tingbi, all the burdens of Liaodong were on his body. Since the war started, he has not been able to sleep a single night.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the people of Liao people who died tragically under the butcher's knife of slave riders because of his strategic mistakes.

If he doesn't win this battle, Xiong Tingbi will have trouble sleeping and eating!

During the battle, Xiong Tingbi will not only pay attention to the battle situation, but also take into account the terrain, the morale of the generals and soldiers, as well as the wind and rain.

Of course, precise measurements are impossible.

Xiong Tingbi can only make a rough guess, and then think of a way to deal with it in advance, so as not to be in a hurry.

You must know that as a general in charge of the army and a feudal official in Liao, every mistake he makes may cause the entire battle situation to collapse instantly!

On the night when Nurhachi went south, Xiong Tingbi got a tip from Mangui when the Houjin army marched non-stop to the boundary of more than [-] miles north of Liaoyang City.

At this moment, after the golden soldiers arrived at the city of Liaoyang, it would take as long as a day or as little as several hours. There was no time to waste.

In front of the generals, Xiong Tingbi also had a dignified expression.

Everyone understood that the chieftain was here to do his best this time, and he would never return to Hetuala just like that.

Although under the city of Shenyang, the Hou Jin army lost more than 2 people.

However, the main force of the Eight Banners they damaged was less than a thousand people. Compared with Liaoyang's less than [-] defenders, Nurhachi's troops were twice as strong as Xiong Tingbi's.

The current Ming army, not to mention fearing that the Eight Banners army is like a tiger, also sees the Eight Banners' battle flags from a distance, and they are all demoralized. With such morale, field battles cannot be won.

Xiong Tingbi pressed one hand on the map and remained silent.

If something happens to Liaoyang, not to mention Shenyang, Guangning will be lucky to keep it!

Sun Chengzong's so-called Ning Jin defense strategy may last for a while, but in the long run, it may also bring down Daming.

When it really comes to that point, the finances will only become more stretched.

After a while, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice:

"The slave chief came here this time to catch us off guard. If this plan fails, he will repeat the same trick and surround the spot for help."

"The wind is in favor of building slaves, and they cannot be allowed to consume the imperial court's military power in Liaodong."

Cao Wenzhao clasped his fists and said:

"Master Jinglue, please make an idea, everyone will listen to you!"

Cao Bianjiao was young and fearless, he stood up, looked around the crowd, and said loudly: "The classics point to the east, I will never go west!"

"Since Jianu is coming, he will risk his life!"

Xue Laiyin thought of something, and then followed up with a reminder:

"Master Jinglue, Man Gui said in the book that the new firearms sent by sea from the Shandong Military Weapons Bureau are extremely sharp in actual combat."

"When defending the city in the Battle of Shenyang, even slave soldiers in heavy armor couldn't withstand a blow from the new shotgun."

Xiong Tingbi sneered, indeed, he did not expect the fighting power of the court's new firearms, and it is estimated that the slave chief also did not expect it.

This can be a surprise soldier and play a role at critical moments.

Xiong Tingbi stared at the map and said:

"Remove the banner of [-]% of Liaoyang City, recruit some elderly people to go to the city, and keep the old armor in the armory, move it out and distribute it."

"To give Jiannu the illusion that the city of Liaoyang is so weak that they can decide in one battle. Don't slave chiefs like to use spies to find their way?"

"Give him a show this time!"

Xiong Tingbi had long expected that once Nurhachi was defeated in Shenyang and sensed the change of wind direction, he would definitely come to Liaoyang, so he was well prepared.

He tapped a point on the map with his finger and said:

"What should be arranged has already been arranged, but the soldiers are tricky. The slave chief is used to using the Three Kingdoms as a book of war. This time, I will compete with him."

"The person who advises the slave chiefs is really mediocre in this world!"

After the words fell, everyone laughed.

Xue Laiyin couldn't help saying: "Master Jinglue is still so sincere, speak quickly! The general admires you!"

Chapter 362

In the fourth year of Hongwu, in order to consolidate Ming Dynasty's rule in Liaodong, Zhu Yuanzhang set up Dingliao Capital Guard, Liaoyang Prefecture and County, and moved the people of the Central Plains to live there.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, after a court discussion, the capital of Dingliao was changed to the capital of Eastern Liao, and the government was set up in Zuowei of Dingliao, with 25 guards and two prefectures under its jurisdiction.

In the tenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang made the last change to the organizational planning. He deposed all the prefectures and counties in the Liaodong area, leaving only the guards.

The situation of Wufuju Town in Liaodong has continued since the early Ming Dynasty.

After the Jin army withdrew from Shenyang, accompanied by a sudden turn of the wind, it swept to the Liaoyang area, and the soldiers surrounded the left acropolis of Liaoyang.

On the way to the south, Nurhachi temporarily changed his mind, instead of going straight to Liaoyang, he decided to gradually nibble away at the surrounding guards of Liaoyang.

As the seat of the Liaodong capital in Liaodong, Dingliao Zuowei City has always been garrisoned by Liaoyang Deputy General Zou Chuxian with more than [-] troops.

Zou Chuxian, the only son of the Liaodong general Zou family.

His father, Zou He, followed Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and was a general of Liaodong iron cavalry under him. He was known for his military exploits, and he was ordered to guard Qinghe Road.

In the spring of the 46th year of Wanli, the Hou Jin army broke through Fushun, and the massacre was heavy, and the soldiers approached Qinghe. Zou He, who was old in his forties, led his family and refused to fight, and died in the battle.

Because Zou He resisted too fiercely, Hu Erhan, who was in charge of attacking the city at that time, ordered the massacre of the city.

When Qinghe fell and his family died, Zou Chuxian was placed by the imperial court in the Zuowei City of Dingliao as the head of Qian, because of his father's meritorious deeds.

After five years as Chief Qian Zong Zou, Zou Chuxian was finally recommended by Xiong Tingbi with the sparse words of "declaring discipline, recruiting soldiers from all directions, and making a big effort".

Later, Zhu Youxiao approved the performance on a certain day, and Zou Chuxian was promoted to the deputy general of Liaoyang in the winter of the second year of Tianqi, and led his troops to garrison the left Acropolis of Dingliao.
