In the early morning of the second morning, when the rooster crowed early, Dongfang had just revealed a touch of fish belly white, and the area of Niangniang Palace was already full of people

On the south bank of the Daliao River, on both sides of the Daguan Road, which had just extended for more than ten miles, a soldier in black clothes and black armor had already eaten breakfast, walked out of the big farm one after another, and began to line up on the Daguan Road to reorganize the army.

Among them, three field corps, each with the corps as a unit, was divided into two roads and marched towards the proposed goal.

Cao Wenzhao's Suzaku Army was responsible for the attack and recovery of Liangfangkou Pass, Tangchi Fort, and the first line from Da Shan Ling Pass to Xiuyan City.

Cao Bianjiao's Xuanwu Legion was led by deputy corps commander Wang Fuqiang to stay at the Niangniang Palace station, serving as a back road.

Sun Chuanting personally led the remaining two divisions of the Xuanwu Legion, as well as all of the Qilin Legion, to the south.

The first target of the coalition army was Gaizhou City.

After conquering and occupying Gaizhou City, the troops were divided into two routes, one was responsible for capturing Fuzhou City, and the other was responsible for capturing Jinzhou City.

After waiting for several important military towns to be fully controlled, the army immediately swept towards the entire Liaodong Peninsula.

Before the beginning of spring next year, retaking the entire Liaodong Peninsula is one of the greatest goals of this vast winter offensive.

It is also a strategic goal that must be achieved.

With a group of black-clothed and black-armored soldiers of the Five Divine Beast Legion, they left the Niangniang Palace area one after another and disappeared.

Zhu Youxiao also immediately ordered the Boy Guards Cavalry Division to assemble.

The Boy Scouts, who had been eager to try for a long time, quickly assembled and set off in formation.

Zhu Youxiao's first target was the city of Ximu in the east.

This Tatar military town, which is close at hand, is an important stronghold of the Tatars connecting the north and south of the Liaodong Peninsula, and it must be pulled out first.

First, the construction corps that can protect the Niangniang Palace area will not be affected by the war and carry out large-scale construction work smoothly.

Second, it is necessary to destroy this Tartar stronghold and cut off the connection between the Tartars and the Liaodong Peninsula.

Of course, it is not enough to destroy this one stronghold.

It is necessary to continue to attack to the east and destroy all the Tartar strongholds on the front line such as Qingtaiyu Fort, Tongyuan Fort, Xin'an Fort, Kuandianbao and Dadian Fort.

Only in this way can the north-south connection between the Tartars be completely cut off, lest the Tartar dogs jump over the wall in a hurry and cause great harm to the people of Liaodong.

It can also reduce the difficulty of the attack of the five major legions and speed up the course of the war.

Zhu Youxiao knew that if Huang Taiji, a hero, was forced to be in a hurry, he would definitely launch a retaliatory action by any means.

Once the Liaodong Peninsula is not cut off from Shengjing, and the emperor Taiji is in a hurry, the greatest possibility is to launch a massacre against the people of Liaodong in those Tatar occupied areas to vent their anger.

Although a hero with ambitions will not do this until the end.

Because if he did this, he basically cut off the great development potential that Huang Taiji wanted, and invisibly increased the difficulty for him to enter the Central Plains.

However, the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry!

What's more, this Huang Taiji is really a peerless hero of this era, and when he perceives that the Ming Empire has truly risen and cannot be defeated, he tries his best to reduce the number of people in the Ming Empire, which is also a strategy and tactic.

After all, there is no right or wrong in wars between countries, only victory and defeat.

This is the law of survival of the fittest in nature.

If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Once it fails, the loser may even die in the rolling tide of history

The main reason why Zhu Youxiao was so anxious to personally lead the troops to attack was that as the emperor of a huge empire, his time arrangement was too tight.

Today's Zhu Youxiao is always busy working in Liaodong, which is not good.

Now it's just because Huang Taiji is pressing too tightly and the threat to the Ming Empire is too great, he has to take control of Shunfu and Yongping Mansion just now, and personally conquer Guanwai and Liaodong.

Although good results have been achieved now, the entire Liaoning West Corridor has been successfully controlled.

Now attacking the Liaodong Peninsula, even if the Liaodong Peninsula is successfully regained, it will only relieve some of the current urgent needs.

Completely defeating Huang Taiji is simply impossible to do now, mainly because Zhu Youxiao's current foundation is insufficient, and the million-dollar new army has just become an army.

What is most lacking is the civil officials at all levels.

In the future, the rapidly expanding area under the control of the imperial court will require a large number of civil officials at all levels to manage it.

And now, Yan Yingyuan sent a letter, the Royal Government Council has expanded three batches of new students to the Government Council, and the total number has not reached 10,000.

In the future, to fully control a vast empire, the kind of shrewd and capable civil servants needed are hundreds of thousands.

This is also the biggest reason why Zhu Youxiao, who obviously has absolutely invincible force now, did not immediately expand the area under his control.

In the past, most of the great civil officials of the Ming Empire could not continue to be used.

Those old-fashioned civil officials have now completely failed to keep up with Zhu Youxiao's thinking and pace of development.

Basically, in their minds, all kinds of ideas of the old times are deeply ingrained and cannot even be transformed.

Therefore, the new generation of court officials must pass the training and assessment of the Royal Government Council

Only by occupying a place, stabilizing a place, and developing a place can it be regarded as truly expanding one's own territory.

Otherwise, all the appearance of prosperity is a mirror and a dream, and it will fall down if you push it.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was so anxious in his heart, and he did not hesitate to put himself in danger, but also to beat Huang Taiji into fear and pain as soon as possible.

While doing his best to curb the rapid development of Huang Taiji, let him stay in the nest honestly, and don't think about causing chaos for himself all the time.

As for the real destruction of Houjin, it will be at least three or five years before Zhu Youxiao will consider this matter.

At the beginning of spring next year, I will return to the capital no matter what.

Half of the country that he has fought hard to defeat can't be harmed by those traitors in Jiangnan.

At present, the biggest threat to him is the soon-to-be-established Jiangnan puppet dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao must return to the capital to stabilize the people's hearts when the Jiangnan puppet dynasty is established.

Otherwise, even if he now has absolute control over Shunfu, Yongping Mansion, the Liaoxi Corridor and the Liaodong Peninsula that is about to fall into his hands, he can't avoid the panic of the people in these control areas, and he can't live all day.

This time, he led the soldiers of the Boy Guards to attack, go deep into the hinterland of the Tartars to wreak havoc, and try to eliminate the living forces of the Tartars.

What Zhu Youxiao decided to adopt was an unconventional guerrilla tactic.

The greatest essence of guerrilla warfare is to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared.

It is simple to get up, and it is nothing more than the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy retreating and chasing me, the enemy tired and fighting, and the enemy stationed in us to disturb me.

But when it comes to implementation, it's very particular.

At the very least, the enemy has absolute force, and uses guerrilla tactics to annihilate the enemy, and the gap between its own force and the enemy's army is too great, and it gradually attrition strikes the enemy.

These two methods of guerrilla warfare are completely different in operation.

After all, one way of thinking is to use one's own strong combat strength to attack everywhere to crush and destroy the enemy, and the other way of thinking is to use weak forces to drag down the enemy and then counterattack.

Therefore, guerrilla tactics can be used in a variety of ways, and it is impossible to generalize.

Now Zhu Youxiao wants to adopt the former guerrilla tactic.

The combat effectiveness of one's own side should far exceed those of those sudden encounters with the enemy, or those enemy targets that are planned to attack, and the most appropriate tactic is, of course, the kind of crushing unconventional guerrilla tactics.
