The crowd retreated and many corpses were left on the open space. The dead were either Han people who were brought in or coated. A few Han soldiers or Zhenyi's corpses were dragged down. No one cared about the bodies left behind. They would not be dragged aside until the next time they tried to push upwards. It didn't matter when it was cold. In the current weather, piles of corpses were already stinking. Chinese website★.くく√.

It can be clearly seen that the advancement of the Later Jin Dynasty was almost ineffective. There were still quite a distance ahead of them to reach the top of the slope. The ground was full of partitioned trenches, pits, piled stone walls, and rolling giant trees. It was already difficult to cross the rugged mountain roads on such a road. With these man-made obstacles, it seemed even more difficult and almost impossible to complete.

In the distance, before the Hou Jin camp, they dug out several long trenches. At this time, the Later Jin side did not have much experience in the long-term siege. After all, their national strength was unable to support the long-term siege. It was not until the Battle of Daling River during the Chongzhen period that Huang Taiji had managed properly, the Later Jin completely solved the North Korea, Mongolia, and Dongjiang Town. The rear was not good and had a large amount of materials reserved. The main force of the Eight Banners led Zu Dashou and other elite Liao Towns.

Although he could not conquer the city of Dalinghe City, his long-term siege caused the city to be cut off food. After eating human flesh for a while, Zu Dashou had to choose to surrender. This was a huge blow to the Ming Dynasty. Although the Later Jin Dynasty was invincible in field battles, there were not many ways to defend the city. The Ningjin battles took place several times and killed the Yu. After Huang Taiji took out a method to dig a long trench to siege, he found a good way to restrain the Ming Dynasty from defending the city with a strong city.

At this time, the fortifications of the Later Jin Dynasty were basically perfunctory. After all, in terms of manpower and material resources, it was difficult for the Later Jin Dynasty to truly build a long trench and siege the mountains that were more than 150 miles long. Under the same circumstances, the battle to destroy Li Laiheng during the Kangxi period. In the case of no resistance in the whole country, Li Laixiang led the old subordinates of the King of Chuang to guard the mountains that were more than 150 miles long. In the third year of Kangxi, the Qing army mobilized more than 100,000 troops from three provinces to siege for half a year, trapping Li Laixiang and his troops to death in the mountains with fortifications such as Changtu and Plum Blossoms.

It took more than half a year for the mountain to run out of food and grass. Li Laiheng and his subordinates failed to break through and eventually committed suicide. The battle surrounding the mountain was over. The geographical situation between the two was the same. The difference was that the Li army had no food and only a few thousand people, but most of them were elite. There was food on the Thirteen Mountains, but the number of military and civilians was 100,000. The Later Jin side obviously did not have the ability to mobilize more than 100,000 troops to siege for more than half a year. If Nuerhaci really did this, the Ming Dynasty could celebrate the victory, because the Later Jin side dragged itself to death first.

The Thirteen Mountains guarding the trenches in the slopes also retreated in a whole team, leaving the people to continue to strengthen the fortifications, and prepare tools and weapons to guard the slopes such as arrows and wood.

There were obviously two parts of the whole team. Bi Mazi's troops were Bi Mazi's troops, and He Yusheng's troops were less. The way they stood on the sides was very similar. They were arranged in a small array of more than 100 people. From the perspective of military equipment, He Yusheng had to be stronger, mainly spears, sword cards, and muskets. On Bi Mazi's side, it seemed that the spears, halberds and large swords and iron axes were obviously slightly inferior in quality.

Amid the brisk drum beats, the three companies of He Yusheng began to move towards the direction of Killing Huzhai. Killing Huzhai was a mountain road to the west. There was a village next to the village with more than 300 acres of fields opened up. The wheat had grown heavy and could be harvested. When the soldiers passed by, they tried to walk on the edge of the field, and were cautious in their movements, for fear of trampling on the wheat.

There are 7,000 acres of land on the mountain, which was originally developed by the mountain people. In terms of the number of mountain people, the per capita land is only more than two acres, and all of them are dry land. Their livelihood cannot be satisfied by farming, but is mostly supplemented by picking pine cones, ginseng, and hunting. Because the dry land is not properly cultivated, the fertilizer storage is poor, and there is not enough water to water it. The average yield per mu is very poor, only one stone is more. However, with these grains, it is finally a small supplement to the reserves on the mountain.

The leader of the team with Yusheng was a tall and strong man. The gray military uniform looked a little small when worn on him, and it looked tight and full of muscle plasters. The most conspicuous one was the bald man under the round hat, which looked very conspicuous. Cheng Fang joked about this bald man. If there was a moonlight night, the bald man would not have to light the light when walking, and it would be enough to shine with the moonlight.

"The garrison tasks of the first, second and fifth companies of the 9th Regiment were completed. Eleven people were slightly injured. The military doctor had already bandaged them. Two were seriously injured. They were also dealt with and recorded."

The bald man walked to Cheng Fang and Yang Yi and gave a military salute. After giving a military salute, he reported with a very rigorous attitude. He Yusheng's archives are very important, and there are records of minor injuries and serious injuries. It is also one of the important indicators for the future military department to assess the sergeant score. After all, veterans who have been on the battlefield and were injured must perform much differently than ordinary veterans or new recruits. Veterans who have been seriously injured and have not died and have returned to the construction again may be a good seedling for officers in the future.

The bald man reported seriously, but he spitted and cursed: "The dog-good Jianlu has been crazy these days. He will die one or two hundred people in the battle every day. Most of the people die from us Han people, and there are hundreds of injured people. If he doesn't treat him, he will probably die a lot. Fuck, his little feet are so bad that he is not a thing."

"This is the same as when the Northern Barbarians fought against our pre-Song Dynasty." Cheng Fang has been studying a lot in recent years. He said calmly: "When the Northern Barbarians attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, they used new affiliated troops like the Han army to fight. When they attacked the city, they used the people to fill the trenches. Building the barbarians was nothing new."

"Bi Mazi is a damn person, and he brings many people, but he doesn't work hard." The bald man glanced at the left behind. Bi Mazixin was carrying a thousand people on the other side. Their commands, arrays and crafts were almost all learned from He Yusheng. However, just like Babi's comments, the dog's damn person was not like the prince in a dragon robe. Bi Mazi's people lined up in a slant, and the people in the queue were also careless and did not take the officers' shouts seriously.

"We have really ruined our food for them. Fortunately, everyone agreed that Bi Mazi would not be allowed to recruit people again."

Yang Er and others learned training and tactics from He Yusheng, and accepted the officers sent by He Yusheng. This was also a condition that all families accepted when providing food. In addition, although it was a joint meeting, the decision to defend the pass was made by Cheng Fang and others, including daily training and command, which was mainly based on He Yusheng.

Some of these things were decided at the beginning, and some were subtle. He Yusheng's soldiers impressed most of the people on the mountain with their excellent performance. However, Bi Mazi and his subordinates were becoming more and more erratic. The training of the other departments was very hard. After joining Bi Mazi's gang, eating and drinking were just like fighting soldiers, but training was perfunctory. With this reason, Bi Mazi also gathered a large number of people who were unwilling to work hard to train. There are more than 15,000 young and strong people trained on the mountain, and He Yusheng took a fraction of them. A regiment of more than 3,200 people, Yang Yi took more than 6,000 people, and the remaining fewer are some small forces, and Bi Mazi's troops have more than 4,000 people.

Their training is not good, but the equipment is still passing. The equipment that was pulled down by Yang Er in the past has been caught up through the continuous construction of weapons for more than half a year. At least the core troops led by Bi Mazi and his confidants have decent weapons in their hands. Of course, they are far behind He Yusheng. They do not have armor or muskets. This is also an important reason why He Yusheng's men are behind but still dominates the mountain.

Bi Mazi also saw Cheng Fang and others. He hesitated for a moment and still strode over.

Beside Bi Mazi are his deputy, five or six big leaders, and more than twenty personal soldiers. These are the guards he will follow wherever he goes at the foot of the mountain. When Bi Mazi walks to Cheng Fang and others, these personal soldiers stand in a semicircle, with their hands pressed on their waist knives to guard them.

Cheng Fang glanced over there and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Bi Shuai."

Since he had 4,000 people under his command, Bi Mazi felt that he was stronger than the general. He asked someone to embroider a flag with silk embroidered with the words "Master Bi, Fengtian and Protect the Rights and Protect the Countryside and Anmin". Although it would definitely not be recognized by the court and Sun Chengzong, the flag would be lowered when the court sent people to contact him, but on the mountain, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians had to call him the Marshal. Cheng Fang and others were unwilling to turn against Bi Mazi on such trivial matters, and they also pretended to be Bi Shuai, which was to give the other party a face.

Bi Mazi said casually: "They are all unlucky people who die, and they don't even have many swords and cards. They just use their lives to destroy our fortifications. However, Jianlu has been crazy about what to do recently. He has to come so many times every day. I see, I'm not afraid of it, I'm afraid that it will come suddenly."

Cheng Fang said: "Bishu said this very well. I think we should be more vigilant. The people who take turns to guard during the day and at night should be doubled."

Bi Mazi's eyes were weak, and he pondered: "People's hearts have been a little fluctuating recently. You and Yusheng's food have been eaten for so long. There are more than 100,000 people on the mountain, and you are probably going to starve to death. Now it's almost summer, and there are so many wild vegetables and wheat. At least this little land on the mountain can be harvested. Otherwise, everyone's spirit will be relieved. How long has it been since the battle lost Guangning? The court always says those nice words, the emperor is so anxious that he can't eat. Sun Ge's troops are determined to come and save us. At the very least, they are also trying to find a way to send food once, but where is the imperial army and where is the food?"
