"Nurhachi, this old thief, is really bold, and he has been defeated repeatedly in the hands of our treasure army, and he still dares to take such a risk." Madman Tan said.

"Division, now the opportunity has come, let our cavalry regiment fight Karaqin again, right? As long as Karaqin is broken and Jiannu is not attacked, he will definitely withdraw his troops from Liaodong! "The commander of the cavalry regiment, Liu Dahedao.

"We see this, Jiannu must also see this! This time, Nurhachi and we are fighting on the surface, and all the strength of both sides can be seen clearly, not to mention that we don't plan to invest new troops in Liaodong, even if we transport troops from Guannai now, Jiannu will know as soon as possible. Madman Tan said.

"Yes, we have to beware of Jiannu's tricks, this is to lure us into tricks. At the same time, they also turned their previous passive defense into active defense, which is equivalent to putting the knife edge on Shanhaiguan, which is our throat. Tie Batu, deputy commander of the cavalry regiment, said: "Even at this time, the border army of the Ming army fought with Jiannu, and was not sent down by Jiannu against the Shanhai Pass. ”

"Especially the news shows that Nurhachi himself is in Dazhai outside the Shanhai Pass, which has a greater impact on the morale of our army, and we don't dare to do it when the old slave arrives in person, is this still an invincible treasure army?" Liu Dahe Road.

Madman Tan said: "It doesn't matter, the morale of our treasure army is not so easily affected, we are an army with faith!" Besides, what is the gain or loss of one city and one place? Besides, when the old slave came to the village in person, he was just setting up a few tents in the wilderness, and he didn't seize any city. The key is to win, and only when you win can it be meaningful. ”

"Jiannu must be trying to lure us to fight their supply line, they are divided into four roads on the surface, but Jiannu are all iron horses, the speed of the encirclement is particularly fast, once it is not done well, it is easy to be counter-surrounded, and our forces have been clearly laid out, the infantry moves slowly, and it is eaten all the way, which is equivalent to the collapse of the whole line!" Liu Dahedao: "So I think that the supply line will definitely not be able to fight anymore." ”

"We must fight, could it be that we are afraid of Jiannu changing formations? Besides, the president's intention is very clear, he wants our cavalry regiment to recover through the war as soon as possible, and now it is time for us to sing the leading role. "Tiebatu was a little excited.

"Listen to me." Liu Dahedao: "Their attention must be focused on the way to deliver supplies, and when the supplies are delivered, are these people going back to Karaqin?" We'll fight on their way back, and by the way, we'll see if we can find a chance to take Karaqin! ”

The eyes of Madman Tan and Lin Wenbiao, as well as a group of combat staff officers, lit up, and they all felt that this idea was very special and creative.

Madman Tan nodded and said: "It's a bit interesting, what Regiment Leader Liu said is right, Jiannu's attention must be focused on protecting supplies, and their food is not surplus, and they will never dare to let us hijack grain and grass again." But on the way back, he must relax his vigilance, intercept and kill halfway, and then take advantage of the situation to take Karaqin, which is a method. It's just that the requirements for the cavalry regiment are too high, and at least four or five thousand people deliver food! Intelligence shows that Nurhachi left at least 3,000 people in Karaqin, and all of them are elite Eight Banner Army Zhenghuang Banner men! Have you fought four or five thousand cavalry head-on? Even if you have fought, can you continue to fight without resting and recuperating, and then take Karaqin? Because if you can't take Karaqin, your whereabouts have been exposed, and you are completely behind Jiannu, and you will be surrounded on all sides. ”

"Yes! I have confidence in our cavalry regiment! Liu Dahedao: "The key is to have accurate intelligence, the calculation is accurate, and there must be an elite army to cooperate." Whether it is an ambush or a siege, there must be the cooperation of the army, and at least one brigade is needed! Moreover, this brigade could not be detected in the process of moving to the vicinity of Karaqin. This is the most difficult place, once Karaqin is taken, our cavalry regiment and this infantry brigade can rely on the city to defend, Jiannu has no way to take us, our army can take advantage of the situation to press forward, drive Jiannu, and meet us near Karaqin. ”

"The idea is very bold, and there is absolutely no problem with intelligence!" Lin Wenbiao immediately replied, "Whether it is the high-level Jiannu or the Mongolian high-level, we have successfully penetrated the intelligence personnel. ”

Madman Tan nodded and said to a group of combat staff officers, "What do you say? Don't be in a hurry to reply immediately, you will discuss it tonight, and come up with a decision tomorrow, if you can, you will formulate a combat plan according to the idea of Regiment Commander Liu! ”

A group of combat staff officers saluted together with a standard military salute, "Yes, division." ”

"Brother Tan, don't think about it anymore? The entire infantry brigade and a cavalry regiment, if the operation failed, were all given to Jiannu. Lin Wenbiao said softly.

Madman Tan smiled, "If I'm afraid, I'm not Madman Tan." I believe in the quality of our army, even if we are unlucky, to plan for the worst, it is nothing more than that all the troops out of the customs have been transferred to fight with Jiannu, we will die 30,000, and Jiannu will have to die at least 10,000, and then I, the madman Tan, will apologize for his crime with death. ”

Lin Wenbiao nodded, and didn't say anything more, indeed, where is there a deal in a war that does not take risks and makes sure that it is not accompanied?

The generals saw that the division had made up their minds, and they all had firm ideas, and all that remained was for the staff officers to discuss the feasibility in detail and see if there were any flaws in this plan.

The next day, the staff officers concluded that the plan was feasible!

The assessment risk is ninety percent, and it is another life-or-death deal.

Liu Dahe is right, the biggest difficulty is that an entire infantry brigade needs to move quietly to the vicinity of Karaqin without being discovered!

This is the hardest.

A whole infantry brigade, but more than 7,000 people.

Madman Tan asked the people from the Statistics Bureau to send a message, on the one hand, ask the president, please reinforce a brigade from southern Liaoning, from the Xiaoling River, from the waterway to the enemy's rear!

From the Daling River, the location is better, but the banks of the Daling River are all controlled by Jiannu, and there is no way to keep it secret.

On the other hand, Madman Tan had already sent someone to inform Liaonan and asked Hou San to send one of the most elite brigades to him, waiting for the president's approval on Lianyun Island.

Madman Tan believes that the president will agree to his plan.

This is a battle plan that requires the coordination of many departments.

If the president agrees, and the Statistics Office obtains specific information on the delivery of grain by Jiannu, it can immediately send an infantry brigade reinforced by Liaonan on Lianyun Island to the mouth of the Xiaoling River to the westernmost part of the Xiaoling River.

There is also a danger in this, the area through which Xiaoling River passes, or the area of the border army of the Ming army, Jinzhou and Songshan are nearby, and there are also traces of Jiannu, and it also has to pass through the area controlled by Lin Dan Khan, not only must it be hidden, but it must also be fast, and the army will be sent to the designated position before Jiannu reacts.

Hou San immediately expressed his cooperation with Madman Tan's battle plan, and promised to send two brigades to prepare, for fear that Madman Tan would want two brigades in case.

After reading Hou San's reply, Madman Tan smiled, "If two brigades are transferred from southern Liaoning, the limelight will be stolen by his Hou San's regular army." ”

Madman Tan is actually a little aggrieved to fight this kind of battle, because the Shanhaiguan garrison is at the level of the garrison headquarters, in fact, now the Bao Army is the most elite unit against Jiannu with the second-level troops, and it is already evenly matched!

If the five brigades of the Bao Army are all the regular army of the Bao Army, they will have a natural advantage over Jiannu.

It's just that President Wei and Jiannu have an agreement, and the two sides are in peace talks, and Wei Bao promised not to use hot weapons and not to transfer troops from the customs.

If you secretly transfer troops from southern Liaoning, you must also keep it secret, otherwise it will be a foul.

At the same time that Lin Wenbiao passed Hou San's reply to Madman Tan, President Wei's reply also came.

Generally, the secretary of the president's secretariat writes, and then Wu Xuexia signs, and then uses the president's seal.

But this time the stakes were very high, President Wei signed it himself, and personally used the big seal.

The two words of big agreement, next to it are the two words Wei Bao of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, which is particularly eye-catching.

President Wei was reborn in the Ming Dynasty, and his knowledge did not rise much, but the more he practiced, the more he practiced, the more he cheated.

However, President Wei has basically given up using a brush to write, and the official documents of the Tiandihui are generally with a pen or a ballpoint pen, and especially formal documents must be written with a pen.

Although the quality cannot be compared with modern times, this is still in its infancy.

The cost is definitely much cheaper than a brush.

At least there is no waste of paper, no ink, and people who have no money can't write.

Pens, ballpoint pens, pencils, and erasers can reduce the cost of education and official business of the Heaven and Earth Society.

After being hijacked by the Bao army last time, Jiannu is now very careful in his march and attaches great importance to reconnaissance along the road.

Outside the pass are all flat land, there is no specific road, it is very difficult to ambush if you want to ambush, even if you know the general route of the enemy's march, the enemy army will change the route at any time.

Of course, normal people generally choose the shortest route to travel, unless the general is whimsical, which is rare.

Only cavalry can easily catch up with cavalry, and now cavalry and infantry work together, a little more rigid.

Everything is going well.

Camouflaged by a large ship, it set sail in the middle of the night without stopping and not being discovered.

Even if it is discovered by the people of the Lin Dan Khan tribe, it will be fine, as long as it is not discovered by Jiannu.

Because the Xiaoling River is narrow, it is said that the big boats are not really big, they are all larger than the dragon boat, the canopy type of boats, this kind of ships can usually only transport things in the near river, Wujia and Weijiazhuang, there are many in southern Liaoning.

If you want to concentrate all of them on Lianyun Island in a very short time, and then transport all the people to the westernmost part of the Xiaoling River, it can be seen that the logistics of the Baojun are very strong, and only when the logistics force reaches such a strong level can it complete the large-scale and rapid concentration of materials.

A whole brigade of regular army troops arrived, and immediately laid mines at the intended ambush site!

The clothing of the regular army is similar to that of the garrison command, except for some differences in color, and the rank of the regular army of the army is generally one level higher than that of the army of the garrison command, or even one and a half ranks.

The platoon commander of the garrison command army may not even be a squad leader in the regular army.

The company commander of the garrison command, to the regular army of the army, may only be a deputy platoon commander, and that's all.

The regular army of the army is promoted only by relying on combat exploits, continuous study, meritorious service, and repeated cycles, and if you think of the rank of company commander, you can also get the gilded president guard.

After graduating from the President's Guard, you have to go to a committee school and a military academy in the nature of a party school before you can be officially promoted.

This set of systems fully guarantees the promotion system of the army and ensures that all the army belongs to the leadership of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Of course, the administrative system of the Heaven and Earth Society is similar, and the management of the army is more strict.

This is a grain transport team that has just returned from the camp of the mixed coalition army of Jiannu and the Mongols near Gaotaibao, with a total of more than 4,000 iron horsemen, all of whom are Jiannu's elite iron horses.

Since the last time the treasure army hijacked the grain and suffered a loss, now Jiannu pays special attention to the protection of the grain transport team, not only doubled the number of troops, but also every time the grain is transported, the defender battalion will also send at least a thousand cavalry teams to meet halfway, if there is a food grab, it can respond as quickly as possible, and form a counterattack.

That's why Liu Dahe proposed to ambush Jiannu when he finished transporting grain and returned to Karaqin.

There is no food, and it is such a large cavalry team, on the one hand, Jiannu will relax a lot of vigilance, and it has been more than a month since the last time he was ambushed.

"Evacuate, retreat, retreat to Karaqin!" The person in charge of transporting the grain was a general at the level of a banner lord, and it was only less than fifty miles away from Karaqin, and only the retreat to Karaqin was the closest, and it was too late to return to the big camp near Gaotai Fort, or the big camp near Qiantun Fort and Shanhaiguan.

Because there are at least one hundred and fifty miles, who knows what will happen to such a long distance, they have been frightened by the treasure army, and they don't know how the treasure army will appear near Karaqin, and the number seems to be amazing.

The number of the treasure army was indeed staggering, more than 7,000 people flocked to kill, and the warriors were all fearless of life and death, charging with spears.

The sound of the treasure army's charge resounded across the battlefield.

Originally, it stands to reason that this brigade was equipped with all firearms, but they also did not carry thermal weapons, only grenades, mines and spears, and a small number of grenadiers, which were not much different from the cold-armed army.

The only difference is military discipline and morale.

It's not that Baojun abides by the rules, or President Wei wants to talk to Jiannu about the rules.

The main reason is that the cannons of the treasure army were difficult to transport, and now they are still mainly equipped for especially important city defenses, and the others are used on ships.

No matter how light the mortar is, it has to be pulled by two horses, and the road conditions are very good, and in ice and snow like now, mortars are not used.

Moreover, the artillery artillery of the treasure army is not only insufficient in terms of quantity and accuracy, but also in terms of ammunition, and it is impossible to talk about standardization.

The lethality of the mines to the Jiannu cavalry is actually not very large, mainly to disrupt the formation, many horses are frightened, or injured, will throw off the Jiannu knights and Mongol knights on horseback.

At this time, the infantry of the treasure army and the cavalry of the treasure army charged at the same time.

As soon as the cavalry charged, Jiannu panicked, because most of the Jiannu and Mongols lost their war horses, and if they lost their war horses, they were no different from the infantry army, which was equivalent to the cavalry's dish.

In this battle, the Bao army fought even more ferociously than the attack on the Jiannu and Mongol camps near Karaqin, because the battle took place during the day and the visibility was particularly good.

As soon as the grenade exploded, the mixed coalition army of the Jiannu Mongols had almost no way to retreat.

"Annihilate them all!" Liu Dahe gave the order in a loud voice, shouting and killing the enemy.

This mixed coalition of Jiannu and Mongol grain transport team is indeed very elite, and in the case of being ambushed, it still fights to the death, and it is not particularly panicked.

Horse battles with horses, foot battles without horses!

The two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour, more than 4,000 Jiannu and Mongol mixed coalition troops only escaped more than 500 people, the Baojun cavalry regiment bravely pursued, a complete Baojun infantry brigade ran behind, and everyone rushed to Karaqin together.

In less than an hour, they were chased outside the city of Karaqin.

Now there is no big camp outside the city of Karaqin, and they are all shrunk inside the city, just to prevent the treasure army from attacking Karaqin.

If Karaqin is lost, everyone knows what it means for the mixed alliance of the Jin army and the Mongols, which means that the back road will be cut off!

Guarding Karaqin were Nurhachi's third son, Abai, and fourth son, Tanggu.

Both of them were good at fighting and were relatively stable, so Nurhachi entrusted the two of them with the responsibility of guarding Karaqin.

The two of them guarded Karaqin with two thousand Jiannu iron horsemen.

"Come on, come on, sure enough, it was the treasure army who ambushed our people, so I said I wouldn't be mistaken." Abai said to Tang Gu.

The treasure army was ambushed fifty miles away just now, and the sound of mines could not be heard so far, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear a little bit.

"How about now? They seem to be chasing our people! Tang Gu's courage was relatively small, and he asked anxiously.

"Father Khan told us to hold on, it is not our responsibility to protect the grain transport team to guard the Karaqin people, leave them alone, just let them continue to flee north!" Abai said urgently.

Tang Gu and the rest of the generals looked at Abai in shock, they didn't expect Abai to say such a thing, no matter what, let people continue to flee to the north? Wouldn't that send everyone to a treasure army cavalry to kill?

The cavalry regiment of the Baojun Army only had more than 1,800 people in the battle this time, and only lost more than 100 people in the battle just now, and this time it can be said that it was a complete victory.

More than 500 people who rushed out of the Jiannu and Mongol mixed coalition army, most of them were wounded, either people were wounded, or horses were wounded, and in the case of defeat and escape, it can be said that they have completely lost their morale, at this time, if there is no one to rescue, these cavalry who have lost their morale will eventually become the prey of the Baojun cavalry regiment.

"Now help them block it, our people can take a breath, and they can be rescued into Karaqin!" A general said.

"Can I not know what you say? But if Karaqin is lost, who is responsible? Who will give an account to the Great Khan? Abai said angrily.
