Qian Zanhua said with some concern: "If this is the case, will there be any accidents in the troupe training on Thirteen Mountains? After all, Thirteen Mountains are lonely outside the western Liaoning. They have been resisting Jianlu for several years, and have attracted attention from the government and the people. Even the emperor often asks about Thirteen Mountains. If Master Jinglei just took office and Thirteen Mountains were captured, I think it is really hard to explain."

"Thirteen Mountains?" Zhao Ruijiao showed a bitter smile on his face. He said to Qian Zanhua, who knew nothing, "I think Jianlu can't attack the mountain."

Qian Zanhua said with a confused look on his face: "Why?"

Zhao Rujiao said in a very lonely way: "I think what Jianlu has to worry about is that the people on the Thirteen Mountains are determined to rush down."

"What?" Qian Zanhua was dumbfounded, and her mouth was also big, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Is it so strange that things happening here in western Liaoning? Haven’t the “righteous people” of Thirteen Mountains been famous all over the world for their arduous resistance? Are they actually capable of fighting Jianlu head-on?

"Can the Shisan Mountains train the troops can do what the generals cannot do?"

After caring, Qian Zanhua didn't care about politeness, so he followed Zhao Lujiao and asked questions.

"Well..." Zhao Rujiao was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, but he couldn't hide anything under such a question. He said with a flashing look: "This time, if the people from Thirteen Mountains were not asking for attacks inside and outside, they would have considered that they would attract a large number of Jianlu's main forces, and would not lead their troops to attack and test them no matter what. Now it seems that the people from Thirteen Mountains are also waiting for us to attract Jianlu. Since this means that they have not made up their minds yet. If it were me, they would not hurry down the mountain. There was enough food and grass on the mountain, and there were also military farms to supplement them. There were no old or weak on the mountain. In this case, it would be better to continue training troops and wait until they could go down the mountain to defeat the defending Jianlu and recover Guangning before attacking with all their strength."

Zhao Rujiao speculated on the purpose of the people on the mountain. He also had some understanding of Yang Er. He knew that before the Eastern Gate invasion, he was a famous hero in western Liaoning. He had more than a thousand subordinates of the battleship. He was a famous battleship leader. He was a chivalrous leader and had a good reputation at the government level and among the people.

Such people must have political ambitions. This is what Zhao Lujiao believes. If the Ming army fought well, they would definitely attack and attack on the mountain, which is very in line with the interests of many leaders on the mountain... If you want to have a territory, you must also preserve your strength.

The Ming army was not fighting well, so they continued to preserve their strength on the mountain and waited for the opportunity. Once Yang Er and others were given the opportunity, they would be afraid that they would go down the mountain to capture Guangning immediately and ask for a town to open. If the regiment of Shisan Mountains trained troops and horses could really recover Guangning, it would be no problem for the emperor to open the town in ecstasy. Dongjiang could open a town under that situation. In terms of strength, Dongjiang Town was not much stronger than the current Shisan Mountains. From a strategic perspective, the geographical location of Shisan Mountains was much more important than Dongjiang Town.

After all, Dongjiang Town can only be involved behind Jianlu, and Shisanshan can control the contact between Donglu and the Mongols when it develops.

At this moment, no one believed that the Later Jin Dynasty would detour from Mongolia to attack Jizhen. If anyone could predict the second year of Chongzhen, the status of Shisanshan would probably be further strengthened.

"I have prepared some wine and food, Mr. Qian, please." Zhao Rujiao made up his mind to establish a good relationship with Qian Zanhua. He was a very good person. When Sun Ge's troops were in the country, they attached great importance to military farming. Zhao Rujiao worked hard on military farming. Gao Di was a leader with local experience. Zhao Rujiao made all respectful and obedient attitudes, and indeed received praise and praise from Gao Di.

The next step is to understand Gao Di's plans and practices. Of course, these things must be confused from the mouths of the staff. Zhao Rujiao diligently took Qian Zanhua's hand and walked to his central army tent, where he had prepared wine and food. If he hadn't gone to war, there would be drum and music teams or even prostitutes and women to accompany him. As a martial artist, Zhao Rujiao did not pay so much attention to it.

Behind a group of big men, a large number of soldiers also began to walk into their narrow and worn tents. Their dinner was wheat cakes or steamed buns. The soldiers in western Liaoning were relatively good. But today, seeing more than 100 brothers die in front of them, they experienced the cruel battlefield impact. Many people were like walking corpses when walking. Today's scene will take a long time to digest by them. If they survive this level, many people will become qualified veterans.

On the snow, the storm showed no sign of weakening. Snowflakes kept falling down, slowly covering the blood marks until they disappeared without a trace.

...

"Retreat."

After persisting in the snow for a few more hours, the iron armor on everyone's body had become a serious burden, and everyone felt the coldness of the coldness. The blizzard was getting heavier and heavier, and many soldiers were on the verge of losing their temperature and dying.

The Ming army is still missing...

Yang Er had no choice but to announce his withdrawal.

All the people present were relieved. If Yang Er continued to persist, the Shang regiment army would be unable to accompany him again. It was not a good thing for the top leaders to openly argue. People at the bottom would be asked to see cracks on the top, which would be a fatal blow to maintaining a sound cooperation atmosphere on the mountain... No matter how many people Hutchison could control, at least on the surface, Yang Er was the leader of the mountain. If the breaking broke, it would have a considerable blow to morale and would easily cause ideological confusion on the mountain.

Fortunately, Ming Jun's performance did not disappoint Cheng Fang... As expected, it was still the same as before.

The result of the cavalry battle was sent back by military personnel. The Ming army did not even fight a decent assault, and the whistle and cavalry battle was completely defeated. The main force of more than 10,000 people was suppressed by the Eight Banners soldiers of about 1,000 people, so they dared not move. Moreover, the day after the confrontation, the Ming army had already retreated before the Eight Banners soldiers showed signs of retreating.

After withdrawing for a day, Yang Er was finally completely discouraged and no longer fantasized about it as the main force of the Ming army's plan to lure the enemy into depth.

The Thirteen Mountains never moved in this battle, which was also what Cheng Fang and others insisted on.

In terms of the number of people, the soldiers on the mountain are indeed above more than 2,000 Eight Banners soldiers who are left behind, but the opponent is already prepared. Most of them are the main force and armored soldiers who are left behind. The only ones who attack are the flag Ding and the Han people.

Yang Er could not refute the pure Jurchen soldiers any cautious attitude.

If you don’t see the Ming army’s red flag appear, you will never take the initiative. This is the bottom line of Cheng Fang and others, and of course it is also the hope of Yang Er and others. It is obvious that this hope is lost again this time.

All the soldiers walked out of the lurking place, and everyone's face inevitably showed signs of fatigue and disappointment.

In any case, this was a carefully prepared battle to break the siege. He had previously closed the door and contacted the new Liaodong Strait and received support. The new Liaodong Strait in Ming Dynasty also sent troops to cooperate. As a result, the main cavalry sent did not even fight a decent battle. Even if it could not be defeated, as long as it really started, Yang Er would lead his subordinates to rush out at all costs, smash the resistance of the Jurchens, and cooperate with the main force of the Ming army to wipe out the more than 3,000 Jurchen guards...

Unfortunately, things went against my wishes. After this incident, everyone understood that it was unlikely to face the cooperation of the Ming Dynasty's King's Army in the short term.

"Will morale fall too harsh?" Xu Ming looked at the dejected morale with some concern, including the middle-level officers with the same gray expression.

"It's okay." Cheng Fang comforted his partner and said, "It's good to do this. Let everyone really understand earlier that the court is not reliable. Only we can rely on..."

"That's a good thing." Xu Ming could accept this statement. Originally, the undercurrent on the mountain was thinking of going to the Ming Dynasty to make achievements. After such a thing, it was estimated that many people would not have too much hope for the Ming Dynasty court and the royal army.

This is indeed the case, but Cheng Fang doesn't want to discuss more on this topic.

They are all people who come from the Ming army, which shows that the military waste is also like scolding themselves back then.

To be honest, with the system of the Ming army, anyone who serves in the army can only have the same result as this time, and there will be no difference.

Cheng Fang changed the topic and said with a serious expression: "Have you noticed that there are fewer and fewer grain trucks coming here?"

"I know this." Xu Ming said: "The number is only one-tenth of the previous one."

"Have you heard that Liaodong has a bumper harvest?" Cheng Fang's eyes became even sharper.

"Great harvest?" Xu Ming shook his head and said, "According to adults, don't think about a bumper harvest within ten years. Even if you can maintain food and clothing through extensive planting on a large area, it is a good harvest. Most of the year, Chengdu will suffer losses, and imports of food are needed to make up for the deficit under the disaster."

Cheng Fang said: "The north of the Ming Dynasty was also affected by a large area, but it was relief from the court. The court's food was mainly in the south, especially in Jiangnan and Huguang. In recent decades, many grain fields in Jiangnan have been destroyed, and five of the world's food was transported from Huguang. The tens of millions of stones of food in Tongzhou's warehouse were the confidence of the Ming Dynasty. Jianlu cannot compare with the Ming Dynasty in this regard."

Cheng Fang's words were quite obvious. The Ming Dynasty had grain supplements from Jiangnan. What did the Jurchens use to supplement their food shortage?

The old slave killed hundreds of thousands of Liao people last year and ran away hundreds of thousands of people, but there were still millions of people in his territory waiting to eat, and the natural disasters were not alleviated at all. Judging from the Jurchens' state, they were shrinking their manpower and army in the core area, and they also paid great attention to the food route to neglect. Now they have felt completely cut off.

The two of them were shocked, and they looked at each other and understood what each other meant.

Xu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "So, how should we solve the food crisis of the Jurchens be solved?"
