At this time, the brave king Duoduo also climbed a low hill called Shijing Mountain behind his camp and began to check the terrain. Bolo, Aobai, Suppilon, and Holo would all follow him.

Although the area around Jieshi Mountain belongs to the Yongping Prefecture, it has always been managed by the Yamen of Shanhaiguan Angbangzhangjing, so Aobai, Kubilong and He Luohui, who have been in Shanhaiguan Angbangzhangjing, are very familiar with the terrain here. The choice of camping west of the Yanghe River was proposed by the three of them.

"Lord Wang, we are now choking the Yanghe River, and we are relying on the mountains and seas behind us, the southern Liaoning side is guarded by Prince Jingjing, and there is Tan Tai on the Heilongjiang side, which should be foolproof, so we don't have to rush to war."

It is Aobai that is making recommendations. This first warrior of Manchuria did not dare to fill his head in front of the brave Wang Duoduo, and stood with his hands down and his shoulders down, looking respectful.

Duoduo said: "Send someone to make a war letter!" Fight to the death tomorrow...... The battlefield is chosen on the west bank of the Yanghe River! ”

"What? No......"

"Backwater? That's not right! ”

"Lord Wang, the risk is too great......

"Yes, our soldiers and horses are not as good as each other, so it is not appropriate to fight in a dignified formation."

Bolo, Aobai, Suppilon, and Holohui all raised different opinions, and in the eyes of the four of them, although Azig was unstable in the rear and there were many mountains inside, he had concentrated the essence of Manchuria at hand, and his military strength was still above Duoduo.

If Duoduo can get stuck in Yanghe's geographical advantage, confront Azig while trying to win over the banner lord and the prince of the eighth point on Azig's side, he will be able to win the battle.

It is really reckless to rush into a decisive battle, especially to leave the camp and go to the west bank of the Yanghe River to line up against the water.

As soon as Duoduo raised his hand, he stopped the persuasion of the four.

"Azig can't beat me!" Duoduo said in a low voice, "Although his Manchurian elite is powerful, do you dare to fight hard?" Now it's a narrow road to meet, and the brave will win! ”

Bolo, Aobai, Suppilon and He Luohui listened to their master's words, and their faces were a little ugly.

The Brave King said one of the Achilles' heels of the Manchurian elite, the number is too small, too noble!

Not counting the Mongols, Han Army, Sauron and Balhu, the essence of Old Manchuria is about 300 Niu Lu, and it is not easy for one Niu Lu to pull out 180 real Manchurian heroes. The total number is 50,000 when it is full, and you can't fight a war of attrition at all!

And on the battlefield dominated by foreign guns and artillery, the casualties on both sides of the war are quite heavy! After the battle in which more than 100,000 people participated, 20,000 or 30,000 casualties were nothing!

What is the use of tens of thousands of Manchurian elites?

Duoduo said: "When Xiang Richengzong fights with Nanming, he must rely on the advantages of the rangers to cut off the enemy's eyes and ears, and he must carefully deal with the enemy, and only after finding a good opportunity can he dare to fight." What Chengzong fears is not defeat, but a crushing victory!

Now the king had 11,000 muskets (6,000 musketeers and 5,000 forward battalion cavalry had muskets) and 30 3-pounder guns, as well as tens of thousands of false Manchurians who could afford to be killed and wounded...... Therefore, this king is a brave man who will win! ”

It's also an advantage to be able to afford to die!

Although there are only more than 2 million people outside the Guanwai controlled by Duoduo, these people are all incorporated into the banner register, and they are all considered to be a nation that can be used as soldiers.

In addition, the vast and fertile land outside the Guanxi is very wide, and most of the land granted is abandoned fertile land, because the original foundation is still there, so the cost of reclamation is relatively low, and the income is relatively good.

Therefore, these Han peasant households who have been incorporated into the banner have some economic strength and can afford a certain amount of military service.

Duoduo paused, and then said, "Let the messenger tell Azig that if he is defeated, this king will allow him to guard the tomb for Chengzong in the Jianling Tomb, and he will live for the rest of his life!" ”

......

"What a Duoduo, crazy and boundless!"

As soon as Azig moved his Chinese army to Caojiazhuang, which was eleven or twelve miles away from Yanghe, Duoduo's envoy arrived. The envoy was Lee Kai-yin, the prince of Gimrim-gun of the Joseon Kingdom, who was Dolgon's father-in-law.

He came to the Great Qing Kingdom to attend the funeral of his son-in-law, but when he arrived at Shanhaiguan, he encountered a war, and he was directly detained in the Duoduo army, and now he is just running an errand.

"Go and tell Duoduo," said Azig, "this king has 100,000 heavenly soldiers, all of whom are Manchurian elites, and it is impossible for them to be defeated!" However, when this king thinks of brotherhood, he will not ask for his name, and when this king catches him, he will let him retire in his house in Beijing! ”

After sending Li Kaiyin away, Azig began to plan for tomorrow's decisive battle.

He had been stationed in Jieshi Mountain for a while, and he had already surveyed the surrounding terrain. He is also very familiar with the battlefield west of the Yanghe River chosen by Duoduo.

"To the west of the Yanghe River, there are hills in the north and south, and the middle 10 miles is relatively flat, so you can put away the soldiers. However, there are still a few villages in between, which are very important. One is Caojiazhuang, where the king's army is located, the second is Shihe Village, and the third is Xiaojiazhuang. ”

Azig paused: "Flölech! ”

"Erchen is here!" The voice came out of the twenty-four-five-year-old young man, who was also as strong and sturdy as Azig, with a horizontal face and a fierce look in his eyes.

He is the second son and heir of Azig, and has been given the title of Duke of Zhenguo. Now Azig is the commander of the army, and of course he can't command the elite soldiers with white flags to go to the front, so let him act.

"You will lead the troops to rob Shihe Village tonight!" Azig said, "Take 10 cattle and pull 2 3-pounder guns!" ”

"Erchen takes orders!" Fu Lehe patted his chest, "There are sons and daughters guarding Shihe Village, even if the fifteenth uncle's tooth-swinging elite soldiers go into battle, it is foolproof!" ”

"Good!" Azig smiled and nodded, then said loudly, "Ilde! ”

"The minions are here!" The solid mountain of the Yellow Flag came out in response.

"You bring 10 Niu Lu of Zhenghuang Banner, plus 2 Hongyi cannons to seize Xiaojiazhuang!" Azig said, "Don't lose anything! ”

"Wow!" Of course, Ilde didn't want to be in front, but now that Emperor Shunzhi, the master of the Yellow Banner, was young and was still in power by Azig, he had to be at the mercy of Azig.

"Wakda, Naudai," Azig continued, "and the Black Peak Mountain and the City Mountain will be handed over to the warriors who are red and blue!" ”

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

Azig said again: "King Dingnan, King Jingnan!" ”

"The minister is here!"

"The minions are here!"

It was Geng Zhongming who called the minister, and it was Kong Tingxun who called the slave.

Kong Tingxun is the weakest of the three kings of the Green Banner, and his godbrother Kong Sixi is also the head of the artillery team in the Duoduo army, and his sister Kong Sizhen is the adopted daughter of Bumu Butai and is raised in the palace, and it seems that he has a leg with the little emperor of Shunzhi...... Of course, Kong Tingxun, who stepped on three boats, had to be more deferential!

"You all bring the green flag soldiers of your headquarters to Chengshan and Shihe Village, as well as between Shihe Village and Xiaojiazhuang, to set up a formation for the decisive battle tomorrow!"

Dead soldiers!

It seems that there is more luck than luck......

Geng Zhongming and Kong Tingxun couldn't cry, didn't they surrender to the Qing Dynasty because they were afraid of the Tartars? Now he wants to be a dead soldier against the brave King Duoduo!

If you knew this, what kind of traitor should you be!

Azig added: "Tomorrow's sharp soldiers will be the yellow, red, yellow, and the king's men with white flags...... This king is sitting in Caojiazhuang to supervise the battle and dispatch the whole army! ”

At the same time, Duoduo also completed the deployment of tomorrow's decisive battle, and his arrangement was much simpler, that is, the cavalry of the forward battalion was placed on the two wings, the infantry was placed in the middle, and the artillery was placed in the front.

In addition, the infantry all set up a phalanx, not a Spanish phalanx, a Maurice phalanx, or a Gustavus phalanx, but the principle is similar, that is, the spear is used as the city wall, the sword card is the trench, and the musket and bow are fired on the moat. Two of the 20 battalions stayed in Dazhai, and the remaining 18 battalions were divided into two columns, front and back, and lined up west of the Yanghe River. Therefore, the final number of troops was less than 50,000, but because of the narrow battlefield, it was enough to use.

After the arrangement was completed, Duoduo announced the reward loudly: "Tomorrow we will have a full meal, and then we will fight to the death, the brave will win, and the cowardly will die...... Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded with land, clothing, and worldly office! The coater can also carry the flag! If you can attack Beijing, the whole army will be robbed for three days! ”
