    Li Anliang's army rested for a night in Qiamu Liangzhai, and then continued to advance slowly at the original speed. Every time they encountered a Jurchen village, they would be slaughtered by them, but at this time most of the Jurchens had already taken over.  After receiving the news, they began to quickly gather towards Fuman's village. The women and children were organized and began to evacuate to the north, while the men took up arms and prepared to protect their homes.  Fuman had already found out the number of the Ming army at this time. When he learned that the other side actually sent an army of 60,000, he was shocked and sat there speechless for a long time. Although the Jurchens went in for the people and went out for  Soldiers, it can be said that every adult man is a qualified warrior, but even if all the adult men of Jianzhou Left Guard were added together, I am afraid that they could only make up to 20,000 people in the end, and in comparison, the Ming Dynasty¡¯s  Sixty thousand people are a regular army, but their Jurchens are a makeshift army. If they really fight head-on, they will probably lose miserably.  It is precisely because of the above reasons that Fuman's first thought was to escape. However, this is their home base of Jianzhou Zuowei. It is not easy to retreat. Plus those women and children, it is impossible to escape.  It is impossible to escape the pursuit of the Ming army, and winter is coming soon. If they leave the warm villages and go into the mountains in winter, food will definitely not be guaranteed. By then, even if they are familiar with the environment, the Jurchens will finally  Most of them will also be frozen to death by the cold winter.  Fortunately, although the three Jianzhou guards were constantly quarreling with each other, they could still maintain unity with the outside world, so he immediately asked Jianzhou guards and Jianzhou right guards for help, and at the same time organized the women and children in the tribe to go to Jianzhou in the north.  The right guard retreats.  After he married Agul.  It is equivalent to marrying Jianzhou Youwei.  The relationship between the two guards is also relatively good, so now that Jianzhou's left guard is in trouble, the other side will naturally have to share some of the burden.  However, even with the help of the other two guards, and the Jianzhou right guard also agreed to temporarily take in the women and children of the Jianzhou left guard, Fuman had to lead the army to stop the Ming army's advance, on the one hand, to provide for the retreating women and children.  The child was buying time, and on the other hand, he was also buying time for the reinforcements from the two guards. After all, the Ming army was about to hit Fuman's village.  More than 20,000 temporarily assembled Jurchens were integrated as quickly as possible.  However, Fuman did not dare to lead this army directly to meet the enemy. Instead, he concentrated all the troops in the village where he lived. After all, their number was relatively small, and they were not as well-equipped as the Ming army, so they were absolutely  You can't fight with the opponent in the field, you can only rely on the strong villages to hold on.  The village where Fuman lived was originally named after his father Xibaoqi, but after he killed Xibaoqi, the village naturally became Fuman Village. This Fuman Village was the home of Jianzhou Zuowei for many years.  A managed village is not so much a village.  It might as well be said to be a small city, with the surrounding walls built by looting Han and Koreans.  Although it is not as good as the regular Daming City Wall, it is still very strong, and the space inside Fuman Village is large enough. In fact, this village was originally used as a refuge for the entire Jurchen clan in Jianzhou when they encountered danger.  It was precisely because he knew the strength of Fuman Village and the large amount of food stored in the village that Fuman decided to stick to the village. According to his estimation, as long as he could hold Fuman Village for five days, then Jianzhou Weihe  The reinforcements from the Jianzhou Right Guards will arrive. When the three guards join forces, they should be able to push back the Ming army.  When Li Anliang led the army to Fuman Village, what he saw was a scene of being prepared. The Jurchens in Fuman Village were lying on the wall, with all the bows and arrows in their hands pointing forward. There were several simple stone-throwing cannons on the gate of the village.  The machine has also been prepared. It looks no different from the Jurchen village that Li Anliang and the others captured before. The only difference is that this Fuman village is much larger in scale, with several times more people, and there are several more machines on the wall.  Trebuchet.  "Don't these Jurchens have brains? They know that we have artillery and can easily break through their city walls, but they still cling to the village?" A young Ming army general standing next to Xu Cheng laughed and said,  Xu Cheng was not only responsible for leading the 10,000 Ming army, but also accompanied the army by a special officer team of hundreds of people. They are the cadets of the Beijing Army School who will graduate next year. This time they came to Liaodong just to let them see the real army.  battlefield.  "Haha, these Jurchens are not stupid. Although they know that their city walls may not be able to block our artillery, they dare not fight with us in the field when their troops and equipment are not dominant, so they have no protection compared to  In the wilderness, this Fuman Village can still provide them with certain protection!" Xu Cheng glanced at the junior fellow next to him and explained with a smile, although these young generals studied in the military academy,  After completing their own courses, they lacked actual combat experience and were unable to apply what they learned. This is why the imperial court arranged for them to join the army to experience the war firsthand.  ? ??The lesson taught by the senior is that the younger brother takes it too much for granted!  "The military academy cadet who was speaking heard Xu Cheng's words and immediately bowed his head to accept the teaching. The military academy has always required students to be friendly and supportive of each other. Xu Cheng's current teaching is the responsibility of the seniors, and as juniors, they also  Everyone knows that these are the hard-earned experiences of the seniors, so they all accept the teachings with an open mind. In addition, there are a few students who are a little confused on some issues and also ask Xu Cheng for advice on the spot.  Cheng also answered the questions one by one. Even though he was only a year or two older than these students, his good tutoring and experience in the military camp during this period had made him far more knowledgeable than these students who had just stepped out of the military academy.  Li Anliang, who was not far away, was listening to the lively conversation of Xu Cheng's young generals. He couldn't help but show a look of envy on his face. Even though his current position was higher than any of the young people at Xu Cheng's side,  But if there are no accidents, his achievements in the future may only stop here. However, young people who graduated from military academies like Xu Cheng are completely different. They have talents and connections. At least now, most of the middle and lower levels of the entire army are composed of  Young officers who graduated from military academies serve as officers, and these young officers are very united and loyal to the court. It can be predicted that in the future, most of the military generals of the Ming Dynasty will be served by these young generals who graduated from military academies. Thinking of this, Li Anliang couldn't help but sigh.  He breathed a sigh of relief. He is now past middle age and can no longer enter the military academy to study like those young people in the army. In addition, he is a reduced general, so after this battle, he will probably not be able to study again.  He will be entrusted with important tasks by the court again. However, Li Anliang quickly regained his composure. Although he may enter the military academy again in his life, he still has sons, and there are more than one. The eldest son likes to study and is expected to be in the future.  He followed the path of a civil servant, but his second son liked martial arts and was clamoring to go to the military academy every day. However, he is only thirteen years old now. When he is older, he will be sent to the military academy. In the future, there will be people like Xu Cheng who came from the same military academy.  With his seniors taking care of him, his son would definitely go further than him in the future. With Fuman sticking to the city wall, Li Anliang could only move the artillery troops to the front of the formation as he did before, and then use artillery to bombard the opponent's city wall.  Past experience has shown that a Jurchen wall with a mixture of walls and soil could not last long under concentrated artillery bombardment. However, this time the artillery tactics of the Ming army were unexpected, because when the artillery shells hit the outside of the Fumanzhai city wall.  After the mud shell was broken, the bluestone inside was revealed. It turned out that when Fuman Village was built, the inside was built with bluestone walls, and then long logs were erected outside and soil was added. Although the bluestone inside was not  It is very thick, but it will take a long time to blast through this layer of stone slabs with artillery shells. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the leader of the Jianzhou Left Guards would have such a layer of support. However, although the stone slabs are strong, they are nothing more.  Just spend some more time!  "A student behind Xu Cheng used a telescope to see the stone slabs inside the city wall opposite, and said to himself at the moment. "Senior, we got news from some Jurchen prisoners before. It is said that the current leader of the Jianzhou Left Guard is named Fu.  Man, this man is worse than a beast. Then he raped his stepmother and killed his father. Afterwards, it is said that he killed many of his brothers. There should be many cruel people like him in Jianzhou Zuowei.  Opponents, maybe we can use it to divide the Jurchens who are left behind in Jianzhou?  "At this time, another young military academy cadet suggested. As soon as his words came out, many people immediately agreed. After all, in their view, being able to use strategy to achieve the goal is always much better than using brute force. "  Xu Cheng shook his head when he heard this and said: "You guys don't know something. The Jurchens don't have any sense of shame. They only look at results and strength. For example, like Fuman in front of him, no matter what means he uses to get there,  As long as he has the strength to take the position of leader, no one will criticize him for the methods he uses. Moreover, even the previous opponents may have been cleared away by Fuman long ago, and the remaining people will not care about him at all.  Will care about Fuman's evil deeds of killing his father and his mother.  " When he said this, Xu Cheng paused deliberately, and then said with a solemn expression: "In addition, fellow students should remember that when the strength is equal to or slightly weaker than the enemy, you can use some strategies to better achieve your goals.  Purpose, but when your own strength is far superior to the enemy, there is no need to spend too much effort, you only need to use absolute strength to crush them. When His Royal Highness Zhao Wang was the school supervisor, he said that in the face of absolute strength  , any conspiracy and trickery are in vain, all students must keep this sentence in mind!  "(To be continued)
