The warm sunlight shone on his body. He Zan looked up and saw the blue sky and white clouds, giving him a feeling of distance and depth.
With a clang, He Zan drew out the sharp blade from his waist. He looked forward with a determined gaze, pointed his sword forward, and shouted loudly, "Prepare for battle!"
Roar, roar, roar!
Long spears were like a forest, pointing obliquely forward; muskets were held horizontally, and the black muzzles exuded a murderous aura.
……………………
The Yalu River lies before our eyes, with waves rolling and making a roar on the beach.
The great prince Daishan looked at it expressionlessly. Across the river was Manpu and Changcheng, but he did not dare to cross the river easily.
Mao Wenlong, who was used to guerrilla warfare and had a keen sense of smell, would not be fooled by any tactics of interspersed attacks or sticky attraction.
What's more, the main purpose of this battle is to train troops and test tactics through actual combat. How could we fight the Jiannu people to the death?
It took many casualties to finally reach the Yalu River, which made Daishan and others very depressed. Cursing Mao Wenlong for being cunning and treacherous was of no use. The most important difficulty was the current difficulty.
The Jiannu could have crossed the river by cutting down trees, building traps, and constructing pontoon bridges, but would the Ming army retreating to the opposite side allow them to achieve their goal so easily?
Obviously, the answer is no.
After experiencing the sharpness of the Ming army's new firearms, Daishan had to have doubts about his next actions.
"Set up camp, cut down trees and build traps, and send people to scout the situation on the other side." Daishan thought for a long time and finally gave the order.
Then he reined in his horse and rode away, ignoring Ning Wanwo who came up to him to offer advice.
Ning Wanwo was a border resident of Liaoyang. I rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. After the capture of Liaoyang, Ning Wanwo defected to the Later Jin Dynasty and worked under Sahalian.
Daishan was very contemptuous of the Han people who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, which was completely different from Huang Taiji's attitude.
The Red Banner and the Red Banner led by Daishan stopped at the Yalu River, but the Dongjiang Army changed its deployment, abandoned Manpo and Changcheng, and turned south.
This order was issued somewhat suddenly. Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and others were full of doubts, wondering what Marshal Mao was thinking.
With the warm wind blowing on his face, Mao Wenlong rode on horseback, slightly behind him were the two deputy generals of the Dongjiang Army, Chen Jisheng and Gou Zhenhuai.
Intentionally slowing down, Mao Wenlong turned his head to Gou Zhenhuai and said, "I have suddenly ordered the abandonment of Manpu and Changcheng. The generals must be confused. General Gou, what do you think?"
Mao Wenlong had always been puzzled by Gou Zhenhuai. He was supposed to be a military supervisor sent by the emperor, but he seemed to be indifferent to everything. He rarely interfered in military affairs, whether it was military discussions or battles.
