Chapter 257 Oxtail Mountain!(1/2)
"San'er, this snow has really started to fall, is it still so big? This..."
Early the next morning, before the sky was bright, Yu Yao got up to check the snow, but found that Li Chunlai was earlier than her.
Moreover, the snow at this time had changed from the fine snow last night to the heavy snow like goose feathers, and the temperature seemed to have suddenly become much colder, and the whole world was covered with ice.
Li Chunlai had already recovered at this time, and looked at Yu Yao's beautiful eyes with a smile and said, "Sister, can we still count the bet last night?"
"Ai……"
Yu Yao's pretty face turned red immediately.
The reason why she woke up so early was because she was worried that Li Chunlai had something to worry about and had to stare at it.
But at this time, Li Chunlai didn't look like something was wrong. She hurriedly found a bad excuse to help Li Chunlai make breakfast and ran away hurriedly.
Seeing Yu Yao twisting her waist and leaving quickly, Li Chunlai couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Last night, Li Chunlai had almost never slept all night, but even though he was scraping his stomach, he could not find out more detailed information about Sarhu.
He only knew that the reason why Lao Nu and the Later Jin won a great victory in Sarhu was that they followed a very famous strategy that has been passed down to later generations!
‘I will only go all the way!’
It is not difficult to guess based on the words of this strategy alone. The battle between Lao Nu and the Later Jin was mainly due to a time difference.
After all, the Ming Dynasty's combat strategy at this time was completely like a "Ming Card". How could it be possible to stop the powerful intelligence system of the Later Jin Dynasty?
The four armies seemed to be very aggressive, but in terms of actual military strength, I am afraid that they are really not as good as the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty at this time.
The Ming army shouted slogans in this battle, with more than 100,000 and 200,000, or even 4.5 million troops.
But, there is too much moisture in it!
Du Song, Ma Lin, Li Rubai's three routes, Li Chunlai didn't know the details, so he would not comment. As a member of Liu Jing, the Southern Route Army, Li Chunlai seemed to be in the situation of Menqing's Southern Route Army.
At this time, the combined total of all the fighting powers of the Southern Route Army will never exceed 20,000!
This is still the case when even his Li Chunlai's troops are counted.
And what about the main force behind the gold?
During the military discussion, Li Chunlai heard Liu Jing mention it. At this time, the Later Jin Dynasty had gathered at least 60,000 to 70,000 people, and the power of fighting inside was probably no less than 50,000 people!
Fifty thousand people.
What is this concept?
Even if you don’t know the details of Du Song at this time, Li Chunlai can still say responsibly that Du Song’s tribe will never exceed 50,000!
Because there are many generals under your command.
Although Du Song has three and four generals and several deputy generals, it looks very intimidating, but it has been so many years since the Ming army fought, when will it be full?
If there were 30,000 soldiers on Juniper's side, it would have been burning high incense.
If there are seven or eight thousand elite servants who can really fight, then I am afraid that the great master Zhu Yuanzhang will open his eyes!
Be strong on the outside and do it on the inside!
Furthermore, it is the time difference.
The four armies have different terrain and uneven personnel. How can they advance together?
At least at this stage, with Li Chunlai's identity, how could he solve this problem that Yang Hao and the big guys could not solve?
Li Chunlai also thought about it at this time. It is enough to grasp what he can do. If you think so much, you will have another bird?
...
After a brief breakfast, Liu Jing quickly summoned the generals to discuss the military affairs.
Perhaps because of the good performance of "playing wild game", Li Chunlai was qualified for attendance again.
Obviously, most people have guessed the content of this military discussion.
——It is the problem of marching after snow.
But what made Li Chunlai, including everyone, a little confused was that-
Even in this weather, Liu Jing did not show his gratitude and still let the army continue to move forward, and the thunder suppressed the generals.
Finally, the orders to Li Chunlai here were also very cold, and he could get as many wild game as possible!
Li Chunlai didn't understand Liu Jing's intention at first, but he just came out of Liu Jing's big account and thought it through.
In this state, even if it doesn’t snow in the mountains, how many miles can the team move forward in a day?
Perhaps this snow had a great impact on Du Song and the main forces of the three routes, but it actually had very few for the Southern Route Army.
Moreover, to a large extent, it may be easier to march into the mountains on such snowy days than not snowing.
If there is no snow, there are so many people in the army, the fallen leaves alone can make people feel annoyed, and it is not much different from the natural trap.
It was snowing now, and the brothers who were walking in front had to suffer a little while the people behind were walking on the road.
...
On this difficult mountain marching road, two days passed quickly, and time came to February 23, 1918, Wanli.
At this time, news came from the Shenyang Central Army, and the time for the action was determined to be February 25th!
After hearing this news, Li Chunlai felt as calm as an ancient well.
Want yarn?
It’s already difficult to do it well, just be vigilant!
Because as the hunting operation continued to deepen, Li Chunlai's troops could almost stop for half a night at this time.
In the past few days, Li Chunlai has not only become more and more proficient in shooting skills and hunting skills, but also becomes more and more familiar with those Korean sticks.
In addition to Mao Wenlong, he adapted to this rhythm and did not dare to do anything.
On the 24th, the army finally arrived at the front line of Dongjiajiang (later generation of Jilin Hunjiang) and walked along the frozen river surface. The road was finally a little easier.
On the 25th, the army's vanguard had already entered the control range of the Later Jin Dynasty, but there was still some distance away from the Later Jin Dynasty's checkpoint.
To put it bluntly, although the Later Jin Dynasty was very fierce, rampant and violent at this time, their self-confidence had not been truly established, and they were still afraid of the majesty of the Great Ming Dynasty.
This leads to their actual control areas, strongholds, and checkpoints being built based on the dangers.
Even if there are many more comfortable and good places around, you can only give up.
When he arrived at the control area of the Later Jin Dynasty, Mao Wenlong finally couldn't sit still. At night, he came over to discuss with Li Chunlai that he would "touch a fish" and take a checkpoint for the Later Jin Dynasty!
Mainly, Mao Wenlong is very familiar with this place and has many natives here.
Moreover, the information sent back from various channels of the army indicated that the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty had already retreated to the front line of the old village.
There are no many Tartars in the old forest like the steep mountains on the South Road.
It just so happened to take this opportunity to give the army a good start and let our side truly gain a foothold and be in an invincible place. There is no harm in this.
Li Chunlai thought about it for a while and agreed to Mao Wenlong's proposal!
Decided to act tonight!
But the first half of the night is still the second half of the night. Then we will talk about it, depending on the specific weather.
It is mainly because it has snowed these days. The snow can reflect the moonlight at night, but it is not too dark, and the visibility is still very good.
However, this also made Li Chunlai secretly complain.
In that time and space, I'm afraid there would be no such "thorns" like Mao Wenlong and himself under Liu Jing's command.
Li Chunlai was already very familiar with Liu Shi's military strategy at this time, but he was still relatively strict.
The reason why Master Li San was able to receive such a "special treatment" was also step by step. Countless brothers fought hard against the cold and fought for their lives!
...
Time soon came to night.
Just as Li Chunlai expected, although there were still fine snow foam floating tonight, the moonlight was good and the visibility was pretty good.
At this time, the large group of people had completely entered the control area of the Later Jin Dynasty and camped along the Dongjia River. Not far ahead were the ridges of overlaid mountains.
And the steepest mountain deep in front has a very vivid name, called "Oxtail Mountain".
At this time, looking at the distance with the faint moonlight, the slums were like a cow sticking out his butt and his tail.
On Niu Tai Mountain, there is a "Niu Tai Village", which is a very important village in the Hou Jin area.
When Jianzhou started to take shape, it had fought with hostile tribes for several years. In recent years, it was the real way to gain the Niuwei Village.
Because whoever takes the Niuweiba Village firmly, in summer, he can go down the Dongjia River along the river and trade with the Han people.
Speaking of this, we must talk about the Kuandian Castles!
The founder of Kuandian Forts was nothing but the famous Li Chengliang!
At the beginning, the main function of the Kuandian Fortress was to prevent the Later Jin Dynasty, or to be precise, to prevent the Jianzhou Ministry of Lao Nu.
Because at that time, Li Chengliang felt that his godson was not very hesitant and could not hold on.
To be continued...
