At that time, it will not just be a life of one person. The commander is killed, and chaos is inevitable. If reinforcements from the Dongjiang Army arrive and they counterattack Jianlu with superior force, they should be able to achieve greater results.
Guo Dajing returned to the barber's camp, wrapped himself in cotton-padded clothes, closed his eyes and fell asleep by the fire.
Some things need to be prepared in advance so that Jianlu will be given a big surprise when the time comes. Guo Dajing felt furious and worked even harder.
…………………..
In the dark night, several Dongjiang troops crossed the mountains and ridges, heading towards Longgu Mountain City.
After sending Li Weiluan's 1,000 reinforcements, Mao Wenlong mobilized troops and led Yun's 2,000 men and horses, plus the entire force of Pi Dao, a total of more than 7,000 men, to land by boat to reinforce Longgu Mountain City.
From battles to battles, and even to battles. It is not uncommon in the history of war to fight around a place that is not important, but the scale becomes larger and larger, and finally it becomes a critical battle that turns the tide of the war.
Mao Wenlong then realized that he could use the defense of Longgu Mountain City to become the fulcrum of the entire Korean War.
One Baelor has already died. What if another one dies? Can he still sit still and force North Korea to sign an alliance?
Moreover, fighting a decisive battle in Yonggushan City is beneficial to the Dongjiang Army. It not only has a strong city to dampen the enemy's energy, but there are many mountains and forests in Yongcheon and Uiju areas, and it is closer to Pi Island. It is convenient to land or retreat.
.
The thirty ships of rice and more than ten ships of supplies brought by Denglai also gave the Dongjiang Army the confidence to carry out large-scale operations.
The messenger sent by Governor Denglai also told Mao Wenlong that the reissue of salary from the imperial court and the grain and supplies shipped from Tianjin would soon arrive.
As long as the Dongjiang Army fully aids the DPRK, Li Song promises to request the imperial court to re-core the troops and increase their pay.
Obviously, the imperial court and Governor Denglai were quite satisfied with the seven battles, seven victories and more than a thousand heads, and they also placed high hopes on the Dongjiang Army.
Mao Wenlong also knew in his heart that there were not many chances to achieve results comparable to the last victory. The main force of the Jianlu troops returned to the army, and even if the Dongjiang Army deployed in large numbers, they would not be able to compete head-on and would only make the Jianlu troops pay more.
As for Shuo Tuo, this group of rebels is likely to be severely damaged or even annihilated by the Dongjiang Army. There are very few opportunities, and if you don't seize them, you will lose the possibility of improving the situation of the Dongjiang Army.
As the army advanced in the cold wind, intelligence continued to come in from the previously dispatched raiding teams and sentinels, causing Mao Wenlong's battle plan to constantly change.
Jianlu controlled a line to attack North Korea, which basically consisted of large cities and towns. However, the surrounding villages and small towns around this front were unable to take care of it and became the domain of Dongjiang Army sentries and Korean volunteers.
In terms of intelligence, although there were barbers who tipped off Jianlu, most Koreans still hated and hated Jianlu for burning, killing, and looting.
As time went by, the Korean volunteers became increasingly active, and small groups of raiding troops from the Dongjiang Army also became more active. The rebels were once again in a disadvantageous situation in terms of intelligence and environment.
"The defenders of Longchuan are weak, but their capture has no bearing on the overall situation."
"The Jianlu captives don't have much food and grass, so cutting off their food routes is the best strategy."
Mao Wenlong turned to look at the guide of the Korean volunteers and asked: "If we retreat from Longgu Mountain City to Longchuan, do we have to pass through Baima Mountain City?"
The North Korean guide nodded vigorously and said: "Hui Shuai, if you exclude the mountain trails, Baima Mountain City is indeed the only way for the captives to return to Longchuan."
Mao Wenlong narrowed his eyes and made a decision in his mind. He decided to send a group of troops to Longgu Mountain City to support them, while the main force set up an ambush in Baima Mountain City to intercept.
This arrangement not only blocked the retreat route of the Jianqi soldiers, but also cut off their food routes, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Jianlu was a cavalryman, so it was natural that he would be short when traveling on mountain roads. However, the Dongjiang Army had more infantry, so it encountered fewer restrictions.
Relying on the favorable terrain, the Dongjiang Army was able to deal with Jianlu. Just like this time when they wanted to attack Shuo Tuo's troops together, they still thought that they could maximize their strengths and avoid weaknesses in Baima Mountain City and the surrounding mountains and forests.
"The order is gratifying. Yu Liangtai and Qiu Zhentai led two thousand troops to Longgu Mountain City for reinforcements." Mao Wenlong said to the messenger in a deep voice: "When the Jianlu retreat, they will be blocked, and all the troops will attack together to annihilate them."
The guerrilla attack on Guanglu Island was quite gratifying. Yu Liangtai was guarded at Big and Little Changshan, and Qiu Zhentai was guarded at Shicheng Island. All of them had participated in the Longchuan and Yizhou battles. The losses of the troops were not small. The total number of troops totaled only more than 2,000.
Therefore, Mao Wenlong also wanted to take care of him. The fierce battle with Jianlu under the Baima Mountain City was borne by the new leaders such as Mao Yongshi and Mao Chenglu who he led.
Mao Wenlong's deployment was finalized and he ordered the troops to speed up and go straight to Baima Mountain City.
Historical records: "The Liao soldiers in Dongjiang were the most hardy. They could hold one liter of fried rice for more than ten days. They traveled day and night, lying on grass and eating frost. They were all useful people..."
Only the Liao people, who had experienced the brutal rule of the Jianlu, and even had their families destroyed, desperately escaped from the areas ruled by the Jianlu, at the risk of being killed and dying of cold and starvation.
These Liao people had no weapons, but had wooden sticks and poison. They also wanted to repay their blood debts to the Jianlu captives and avenge their relatives.
Regardless of the climate environment, familiarity with the terrain, and the deep-seated hatred of the Jianlu, if Dongjiang Town received strong support from the court, it would be a powerful enemy that would make the Jianlu fearful.
It's a pity that Dongjiang Town, a remote island, only received half a year's salary from Guan Ningjun in six years, and even having a full stomach became a luxury.
In the end, under the internal and external attacks of the Ming court and Jianlu, it fell apart and was lost in the long river of history.
As for Governor Yuan's so-called "use Liao people to defend the Liao land and use the Liao land to support the Liao people", most of the people recruited were Liao people.
However, these Liao people escaped from the Jianlu rule without experiencing the Jianlu rule after they rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. They are different from the "shaved Liao people" in Dongjiang Town.
Because these Liao people do not have that kind of pain and hatred, they are more timid towards the Jianlu. They expect them to defend the city and get away with it. In a field battle with real swords and guns, they will be timid before fighting, but the probability of escape is higher.
big.
The Dongjiang Army mobilized in large numbers, and Mao Wenlong personally led it. However, he was completely unaware of the Jianlu led by Shuo Tuo, and was still marching towards Longgu Mountain City to avenge Yue Tuo's murder.
What was even more surprising to Shuo Tuo and others was that Guo Dajing, the murderer, was probably among the team, very close to them.
Longgu Mountain City gradually appeared in everyone's sight. But it was different from before. You could see it from a distance.
Shuo Tuo narrowed his eyes. Dragon Bone Mountain City seemed to be covered in transparent and shining armor, reflecting the sunlight.
Nima Chan's eyes also widened. He didn't expect that Longgu Mountain City would actually change after a few days.
"Condensate the city with ice?!" Shuo Tuo quickly made a judgment, swinging the riding whip gently in his hand, with an uncertain expression on his face.
Obviously, the layout of Longgu Mountain City made Shuo Tuo feel a little tricky.
