468 Anshan Post Fort
Anshan Post Fort was built 60 miles southwest of Liaoyang. It was rebuilt during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and was rebuilt during the Wanli period. It was a place for delivery. There were many chariots and horses in the post and the merchants were extremely prosperous. Of course, this was during the Ming Dynasty.
This Anshan Post Fort is surrounded by one mile and two hundred and four steps, with two gates in the southwest and northeast. The east and west Anshan is used as the screen, and the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. The outside of the city wall is covered with blue bricks, filled with loess inside to prevent bombardment. There are wells dug in the city to prevent water cuts. There are moats around to prevent sneak attacks. The small land is as solid as a soup.
The reason why this Anshan Post Fort was built in this way is because it is the gateway to southern Liao and western Liaoning, and it guards the key points of the ancient road in southern Liaoning. If Liaoyang wants to go to Ningjin line, it must pass here.
Today, Anshan Post Fort is no longer as prosperous as before, and business trips have long been cut off. However, because this place is extremely important, Jianlu also sent troops to garrison.
In May of the sixth year of the Tianqi period, a war occurred here. Mao Wenlong led his army to attack Anshan Post, forcing Nurhaci, the slave chief who was expeditioning Mongolia at that time, to return overnight.
On that day, in the afternoon, there was a faint noise from the quiet Anshan Post Fort north. The Jianlu defenders on the top of Anshan Post Fort were a little surprised. When they looked carefully, they were shocked.
The "Dangdang" warning gong sounded immediately, which surprised everyone in the fort. No one was moving, but he looked up at the sound of the north of the city in confusion.
What is this? How come there is a police gong sound? Where can Dajin have enemies here? If you really want to say that the police gong sounds, it should be the South Gate, right? But this is impossible. Mangourtai Dabeile was leading the army there. A few days ago, Haogebeile also led the army to reinforce. With the strength of the Guanning Army, how could it be possible to attack Anshan Yibao?
No one could understand, including Anshan Yibao Guardian Babutai. He immediately shouted loudly: "Go and check, what's going on?"
Babutai, also the surname Aisin Gioro, is the ninth son of Nurhaci. Speaking of which, his ability is similar to that of Babuhai, who had just been killed. In the original history, he was stationed in Luanzhou in the early third year of Chongzhen. As a result, when the Ming army counterattacked, he didn't even fight, so he ran to Yongping to find Amin, and then escaped from the pass in shame.
"Report that about three thousand Ming troops came from the north, and seemed to be trying to attack my Anshan Post!" Jianlu arrived at the city and Da Qianye reported loudly.
When Babutai heard this, he opened his mouth wide in surprise and said, "What? Three Thousand Ming Army? How is it possible!"
I was stationed in Anshan Yibao, how could the Guanning Army appear in the north of the city? You should know that Anshan Yibao is sandwiched between East and West Anshan, and there is no road to bypass it nearby.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind and he couldn't help but laugh: "It's not Dongjiang Mingjun, is it?"
Back then, Babutai was stationed in Anshan Post, and Mao Wenlong led the army to attack, but he was defeated by him. Speaking of which, one of the achievements that Babutai could make was the battle against the Dongjiang Army in Anshan Post.
"When I go back to my master, the slave is watching the formation at the top of the city, wearing tattered clothes, like beggars, and the people are trapped inside, it seems that they are the Ming army in Dongjiang."
"Let's go to the top of the city!" Babutai became excited and immediately strode out.
But as soon as he left, he suddenly stopped and asked suspiciously: "Come from the north, was it from Liaoyang? What about that idiot in Babuhai?"
Babutai thought he was more capable than Babuhai. Not to mention anything else, he just said that Babuhai had lost a battle in North Korea, but he was able to station in Liaoyang, and he was sent to Anshan Yibao, a place where birds do not shit. It was really unfair! Therefore, he naturally would not be polite to Babuhai in words.
"Back to my master, it seems that Liaoyang was captured by the Ming army in Dongjiang!"
"What?" Babutai was shocked, then he curled his lips and said with a sneer: "Hehe, the Ming army in Dongjiang can only attack sneak attacks. Knowing that my Anshan Yibao is very strict, he went around a big circle to attack Liaoyang! That idiot, now he lost Liaoyang, see how he escaped this time!"
In the impression of Jianlu in Liaodong, the Ming army in Dongjiang had never been able to attack sneak attacks. As long as the Jin army arrived or before it arrived, they fled early and never dared to face the enemy head-on.
Thinking of this, Babutai no longer thought about it, and walked out again, and soon arrived at the north city.
He looked up and saw that the Ming army outside the city was closer. Just by looking at it, you could tell that this was definitely the Ming army in Dongjiang!
I saw that the Ming army was mostly ragged and came along the official road in a mess. Many of them didn't even have dilapidated mandarin duck battle robes, and they were just soldiers with a wooden gun. A few people rode their horses and ran back and forth in the team, shouting loudly at the infantrymen.
The number of people is indeed a bit, and the dust brought along the way is very large, even covering up the Ming army's rear army, and it is in a daze that it cannot see clearly.
"Master, look at that!" A Jianlu next to him pointed at a cavalry outside the city and said to Babutai with a little surprise.
When Babutai heard this, he looked along his fingers and immediately grinned: "The defeated general under his command is indeed the Ming army in Dongjiang!"
It turned out that the person he saw was the one who had come to fight Anshan Post Castle before. Among the wanted portraits of Dajin, it was Mao Wenlong's most powerful fake, Mao Chengzuo!
Mao Chengzuo seemed to be very angry, and drove his horse back and forth, while shouting loudly.
"Master, look, look, that one over there!"
When Babutai heard this, he looked at the prompt and immediately found an old acquaintance. This person was more familiar to Mao Chengzuo before. He was either someone else, or Liu Xingzhi, who had been an official in the Dajin Dynasty and finally defected to Dongjiang.
Babutai became a little excited when he saw it. Liu Xingzuo fled Dajin with his brothers, which was a heavy blow to Dajin's prestige. He knew that Dahan had always wanted to capture the Liu brothers, but it was a pity that these Liu brothers were rats, and they never came out after hiding in Dongjiang. This time, they dared to come here, which was a gift from heaven! As long as this battle was fought, I would no longer have to stay in this broken place!
The wall of Anshan Yibao is about three meters high, with horn platforms at four corners, and even in the southeast and northwest sections, there are waist platforms, and there are moats outside the city. It can be foreseen that such fortifications would be impossible for the Ming army outside the city to capture such defensive fortifications.
The Ming army outside the city stopped when they arrived outside the city and were in a mess, and they were in a mess. Just looking at the busy scenes of Mao Chengzuo and Liu Xingzhi, you can see how messy it was.
"Come on, the whole army gathered!" Babutai shouted at the chaos outside the city.
When the Jianlu next to him heard this, he was shocked and quickly reminded: "Master, there are more than 3,000 Dongjiang troops outside the city, and we only have six hundred people. This..."
