Borrow the day to change the day

It turned out that after Sun Chengzong received the military information delivered by Zhong Jinwei's clippers, he understood the purpose of Jianlu's dispatch this time, and was also shocked by Zhong Jinwei's actions.

At this time, traces of Jianlu were found in front of Shanhaiguan. Although Sun Chengzong knew that Jianlu was here to grab grain, he was unable to complete the harvest.So he gritted his teeth and sent out two letters while sending people out to set fire to the grain fields.

Sun Chengzong knew that ten out of ten of the messengers he sent would be caught by Jianlu, so he made a small plan to deceive Jianlu with false letters, and really wrote in the method taught by Zhongxing Hou, and informed Yuan Keli to act according to the plan.

To put it bluntly, it is very simple, that is, to write number strings in Arabic numerals. Both Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli have a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions".This simple and easy-to-use method is estimated that people in future generations will know it as long as they have watched some TV series behind the enemy.

After Yuan Keli read the letter, he used false methods to seduce Jianlu and let them focus on the front line.

At this time, Zhong Jinwei didn't know that there were two veterans covering his actions, trying to attract the main force of Jianlu to Guan Ning.

Zhong Jinwei's march was led by Yebushou led by Cao Bianjiao as the vanguard, but they were all disguised as Denglaiming's army.Adopt an inverted triangle marching method, that is to say, five people form a group at the front, and ten people form a section after a period of time, and so on, echoing back and forth.

The advantage of this is that even if the striker accidentally bumps into Jianlu, it will be regarded as a small group of Deng Laiming's Yebushou fleeing into the hinterland of Liaodong.If there are few Jianlu people, wait for the rear team to annihilate them together.If there are many Jianlu people, they will retreat, and the army behind will deal with Jianlu.

Because of the prior investigation by You Yebu, and more importantly, the suggestions of two honorable men as a reference, the marching route was formulated very well, and the army did not encounter much trouble.

In the few villages along the marching route, the expected things happened naturally.All the Jian prisoners in the village were slaughtered. The Ming army did not need to do this job, and the North Korean army rushed to do it.The Han slaves in the village were all taken away by the army, and they dared not stay or dismiss them.Because if there is a traitor inside, it will be a big trouble.

On the fifth day after the army set off, they finally came to the vicinity of Baitapu, about [-] miles away from Shenyang City, without anyone noticing.

At this time, it was almost evening.The army rested in a col.The generals of the various ministries gathered at Zhongxing Hou for a meeting, and scouted around at night to prevent the sudden appearance of Jianlu.Among them, Hu Hao's team, under the leadership of Tang Daxuan, went to Shenyang to observe the enemy's situation.

"Everyone, we have arrived at the entrance of the tiger's lair. Whether we can sneak attack and take Shenyang City depends on tonight. What is the physical strength of the soldiers of each department? Do you need to rest for a night?"

Although Zhong Jinwei saw that the generals present were in good spirits, he was obviously excited.However, he was worried that after marching for five consecutive days with mental stress, some people might consume too much energy, which would affect the next battle.

After all, in the era of cold weapons, fighting depends on physical strength.He ran all the way to Shenyang, and the sneak attack was successful, and then when he entered the city to fight, he lost his energy, so Jian Lu laughed his teeth out.

But it was clear that Zhong Jinwei was overthinking. The cavalry were generally veterans, not rookies at the beginning of the battle. They knew how to maintain their physical strength while marching.The war horse needs to rest, but the next battle is not a riding battle, so it will not consume the horse's physical strength at that time.

The generals of all the ministries replied to Hou Zhongxing one after another: "Master Hou, the last general's strength is good, so there is no need to rest."

"Those bastards are smart, and they can't be tired."

"Master Hou, the people under the last general are more energetic than the last general, and they are just waiting for revenge!"

"..."

Zhong Jinwei saw that the results of the feedback from all departments were good, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, in order to prevent the night from having many dreams, we will sneak attack Shenyang City tonight according to the original plan."

"Yes, Lord Hou." All the generals answered in unison, excited.

"Hurry up and rest, and wait for Yeburei to confirm the enemy's situation before starting again." Zhong Jinwei ordered.

It is already close to Shenyang, and the villages have a lot of people.If you start early, you are afraid that you will be met by others, so you can only drive in the dark for the last twenty miles or so.However, because it is close to Shenyang, the road is wide and wide. Tonight's moon is also a semicircle, and the road can be vaguely seen.

Hu Hao returned about an hour later and told Zhong Jinwei that everything was normal. Jianlu did not find any trace of the Ming army, and he did not behave abnormally because of Fan Wencheng's disappearance.

For Hu Hao's reconnaissance, Zhong Jinwei still believed.But he was a bit of a pity for Fan Dahan. After being missing for so long, Jianlu actually pretended nothing happened.

In fact, this was normal in the past. During Mao Wenlong's time, he often sent spies to infiltrate the Jianlu-controlled area, instigating rebellion, spreading rumors, poisoning, and killing thieves.But later, with Mao Wenlong's death, these methods gradually disappeared.

One is because no one is more proficient in these things than Mao Wenlong, and the other is that the slave chieftain has changed from the violent Nurhachi to the shrewd Huang Taiji, and some spontaneous actions have been stifled by Jianlu.The third is that after Lu Xiangsheng took over the command of the Denglaiming Army, he focused on deciding the outcome on the battlefield. Instead, he did not pay much attention to the means of the second battlefield, and there was not enough soil for Lu Xiangsheng to use them.

In the end, because of the failures of the Ming army one by one and Huang Taiji's deliberate propaganda, the Han people in Liaodong completely lost hope, and if they stopped resisting, they would have no such means.

But now that Fan Wencheng is missing, Dai Shan and others naturally classify it as the reappearance of the previous phenomenon.Anyway, Fan Wencheng was already in danger, so he ignored it after sending people to search for it at first.He didn't even have the idea of ​​reporting to Huang Taiji, and planned to wait for Huang Taiji to return before talking about it.

Before the army set off, all the looted Han people from Liaodong were tied up, and they were kept in the mountain depression, leaving only those soldiers who had exhausted their physical strength to watch.

Then Zhong Jinwei led the army and set off in the dark, sneaking into Shenyang City.

Around midnight, the army had already lurked outside Shenyang City.

I saw that there were not many lights in Shenyang City, and it seemed pitch black.Only torches were burning every few feet on the city wall, illuminating a small area around them.Because the night wind was strong, the light of the torch was flickering.

Through binoculars, Zhong Jinwei found that there were many Jianlu on duty near the city gate, while in other parts of the city wall there was only one every few feet, and several teams of Jianlu patrolling back and forth crossed from time to time.

However, the city wall of Shenyang was not very high, which made Zhong Jinwei, who had seen the city wall of the capital, secretly happy.Originally, the important town of the Ming army in Liaodong was Liaoyang, not Shenyang, so the city walls of Liaoyang were a little higher than Shenyang.

After Jianlu occupied Shenyang as the capital, he was in an offensive period, and the Ming army never counterattacked.Therefore, Jianlu did not rebuild the city wall. For them, this is a thankless task, at least they will not do it in the short term.

After Zhong Jinwei finished observing, he turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng who was on the side.At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had also seen the situation at the top of the city clearly through his own telescope.

"Master Hou, I think it's all right." Lu Xiangsheng put down his binoculars and said to Zhong Jinwei.

"Okay, then wait a little longer, wait until the moment before dawn, and let the soldiers take a rest by the way." Zhong Jinwei suddenly felt a little nervous, but he still controlled his emotions and said to Lu Xiangsheng.

According to the plan, Lu Xiangsheng and the forty most powerful fighters selected will go to steal the city to see if they can take Shenyang City in one fell swoop.
