After giving this order, he added: "As for the minutiae, I will only say three points. First, the Tartar field is powerful! But my lord has already had a strict order, and we are not allowed to wait out of the city for this battle. What's more, the duty of the security brigade is to defend the city, not to fight against the enemy. Even if the situation of the battle allows, it must be the field soldiers of the Third Town who will be chased out of the city, not us. So, I command, no matter what happens, holding the fortified city is the only thing we need to do! Even if the enemy chief Nurhachi is standing alone under the city walls, he must take it as his responsibility to defend the city, and no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight! ”

"Yes!" The subordinates shouted in unison.

Zhu Guoan nodded and said: "The second point I want to say is that although this time it is a coordinated operation with the third town, the main thing is on my security brigade." So don't expect too much from anyone else! Iron has to be hard! ”

This is nothing more than a matter of credit.

Everyone felt that the security brigade used to defend the city must not be as strong as the third town used for field warfare. After all, it can be seen literally that the Third Town, both in terms of numbers and configuration, is far superior to that of the Security Brigade.

But this time, it coincided with the siege war, and it was the first time that the security brigade was established to face the enemy, and what I wanted was to play the majesty of the security brigade!

Zhu Guoan has such an order, which is also due.

Seeing that everyone agreed with their meaning, and basically understood this, they nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Third, it is the upcoming arrangement. The enemy chieftain Nurhachi, the best at it is nothing more than two, one is called luring the enemy deep, as long as we stick to the city and do not fight at will. He can't do anything about us! And the second one is to send spies! Next, we need to rely on the people to help us accomplish many things. But if there are spies lurking among the people, or even among us, it will be absolutely doomed! Therefore, under the personal supervision of the commander of the military police, Lord Wu, the military and civilians in the city were rectified, and once the suspected bandits were discovered, once they were caught, they would not be tolerated! ”

This last order made everyone's hearts flutter.

Indeed, the castle is always broken apart inside, but fortunately, Ye Fu understood as early as when he founded the army how destructive the spies were to the war situation in Liaodong.

Therefore, the command has arranged a net of heaven and earth, and the monitoring of everyone has reached the highest point that can be done. In the open, there is a military police, in the dark, there is a second place in the staff room and the military office, and in addition, there are many hidden surveillance systems that are not known. In this way, they can ensure that their troops do not suffer the dumb loss of the other side in vain in the battle.

At this point, of course, it comes in handy.

After the military meeting ended, several squadron leaders under Zhu Guoan arranged for their subordinates to immediately prepare for the arrangement according to the tasks assigned at the meeting.

Zhu Guoan took the manpower to check the progress everywhere, and it was in full swing for a while.

In addition to the busy soldiers, the special commission section of the first office of the staff office stationed in Qingtaiyu and the clerks of the subordinate units also took action one after another, and worked hard to assist the army in carrying out the 'fortified wall clearing'.

With the cooperation of the two, it didn't take long for all the arrangements for the enemy to be prepared within the entire Qingtaiyu range.

The people were conscripted to fill in the civil servants, assist in the battle, and provide sufficient logistical support for the soldiers defending the city. Burning houses and other facilities outside the fort and digging deep ditches to reduce the number of hiding places that the Tartars could choose. Outside the entire castle, there was not even a place to hide.

As far as Nurhachi himself is concerned, he actually doesn't have much intention of attacking the territory of the dangerous mountains.

After all, the most powerful defensive positions in Liaodong, including Fushun, Qinghe, Tieling, Kaiyuan, Shenyang and other places, several fortified cities have been classified as Houjin's territory. Not long ago, even Liaoyang, which was blocked by a big river and was obviously easy to defend and difficult to attack, was lost to Houjin in vain because of Yuan Yingtai's poor command of the military.

It can be said that today's Houjin, with its strong field strength, coupled with the spy tricks that have repeatedly worked, as well as ambush tactics, luring tactics, etc., have combined into one to eat the Ming army.

So many important cities are already in his hands, and the dangerous mountain area that Ye Fu has mastered is actually extremely chicken for Nurhachi.

There is nothing particularly attractive to Nurhachi's bountiful products here, nor does it have an important strategic position similar to Liaoyang, Shenyang and other places. At the same time, Ye Fu, who is stationed here, has always taken advantage of Houjin, and he is undoubtedly a hard bone.

According to Nurhachi's thoughts, defeating Ye Fu is actually very simple, and it only takes a counter-strategy to make Ye Fu die under the butcher's knife of his own people. Nurhachi used such a trick too skillfully.

But Huang Taiji doesn't think so!

He always felt that if Ye Fu was allowed to develop and grow, he would inevitably become a great rival of Houjin in the future.

Therefore, after Houjin captured Liaoyang, he once again made a statement to Nurhachi, tried his best to persuade Nurhachi, waved his army to continue eastward, and leveled Ye Fu's dangerous mountain army, thinking that he would clear the obstacles behind him. It will not be in the future when other major things are completed, and if you are not careful, the backyard will catch fire.

Nurhachi finally shook his mind under the strong persuasion of Huang Taiji, and he finally agreed that Huang Taiji would personally lead the troops to attack Qingtaiyu. If Qingtaiyu can go down, it will continue to move eastward.

But he has already agreed on the three chapters of the law first, if Qingtaiyu cannot be captured in a short time, there is no need to waste more energy on Ye Fu's side. It is necessary to use methods outside the battlefield to take out this enemy who may be about to become stronger.

~~

Huang Taiji, who led his army to the front line of Qingtaiyu, soon discovered that something was wrong.

More than five miles outside the fort, he ordered to be stationed, and after sending out scouts, he learned that all the places along the Qingtaiyu line within two miles of the fort had been razed to the ground.

Not to mention that there is not a single house to be seen, and even the trees that can be used for shelter are pitiful.

If something goes wrong, it's a demon!

Huang Taiji is well versed in this, so he is naturally doubly careful.

After thinking about it, in the end, we still have to use the old way.

A small force of 100 cavalry stepped forward and rushed frantically around the city, trying to attract the attention of the city and make the other side open the city to the enemy.

But where is there anyone in the West Road Security Brigade who has already been told by the bosses to do this?

The gates were closed, and seeing that the Tartars showed no sign of approaching to climb the siege, they followed him.

Let the other party call for battle, provoke, and abuse, just as if you didn't see it.

Huang Taiji looked at the situation in front of him and suddenly fell into thought.

This is the first time that the enemy has refused to go out of the city to meet the enemy. However, Ye Fu's subordinates couldn't be looked at from an ordinary perspective. After pondering for a moment, he figured out the root joints.
