In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Jie frowned and paced back and forth in the tent.

Yesterday, the scout team brought back a Tartar sentry, and Gao Jie took great pains to find a merchant who knew Manchu, and tortured the Tartar to extract a confession.

It turned out that this Tartar was a banner soldier of the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, and he was ordered to reconnoiter the military situation of the Shunde Mansion generation with his companions. According to this Tartar, Dolgon was shocked when he learned that the Ming army had entered the Northern Zhili Mansion and the Daimyo's Mansion and the Guangping Mansion, and decided to send the elite of the Two Yellow Banners who stayed in Beijing to block the Ming army.

And the one who commands the yellow and inlaid yellow flags is Dorobelle Lek Dehun.

Luck Dehun brought more than 10,000 elites of the Two Yellow Banners this time, in addition to more than 20,000 green battalion soldiers, although the number is not as large as the Ming army, but the combat effectiveness is very strong.

The two yellow flags are the most elite existence of the Eight Banners, and this time they have been transferred out of the system. It is enough to see that Dolgon attaches great importance to Gao Jie.

This is not good news for Gao Jie.

This Northern Expedition, he saw the opportunity for the main force of the Eight Banners to be transferred to Shanxi. Unexpectedly, Dolgon actually left a hand and left the army of the two yellow flags to defend Gyeonggi.

There is no doubt that this Luck Dehun is here for Gao Jie. Otherwise, he would not have been so careful to send scouts to the mountains of Shunde Mansion to investigate.

For Gao Jie, things have changed. Originally, he wanted to conquer as many cities as possible and consume the prestige of the Manchus in Gyeonggi. Even if you can't beat Shenjing for a while, it's acceptable.

But now that the Tartars have taken the initiative to fight, it is naturally impossible for Gao Jie to fight in Beizhili as originally planned.

Either withdraw to Henan and Shandong, or fight this battle.

He had to make a choice.

Gao Jie understood that this decision was likely to affect the entire battle plan of the Ming Dynasty against the Manchus, so he was cautious and did not make up his mind for a long time.

At this time, Li Chengdong once again played a key role.

He suggested that Gao Jie fight this battle.

There are three reasons for this.

First, the morale of the Ming army was at its peak at this time, and it was impossible to suffer a loss by taking advantage of this momentum to fight with the Tartars.

Second, Gao Jie urgently needed to let his soldiers feel the combat effectiveness of the real Tartar through this battle. After all, the Green Battalion soldiers who defeated first were all two Tartars.

Third, Gao Jie needs to be shown to the imperial court. If you turn around and run away as soon as you encounter a real Tartar during the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to explain it.

Li Chengdong explained these three reasons to Gao Jie one by one, and Gao Jie also felt reasonable, so he made up his mind to fight with Luckedhun.

Gao Jie is very capable of fighting and daring to fight.

But in the face of the elite of the two yellow flags under the command of Lucked Hun command, he was very careful and personally convened the generals under his command to discuss the strategy.

Judging by the direction of the Qing army, they should have come from Jizhou.

If you want to enter Guangping Mansion, it is very likely that the Qing army will go along the Zhangshui River in Hanjiazhai.

Therefore, Gao Jie decided to set up an ambush on the route of the Qing army and fight an ambush battle.

The river valley along the Zhangshui River has many low dense forests, which is indeed a good place for ambushes.

However, it is not easy to set up a formation here, and the numerical advantage of the Ming army cannot be brought into play when it really fights.

After thinking about it, Gao Jie decided to divide his troops and personally led 30,000 people to set up an ambush in the dense forest of the river valley. The remaining 20,000 people were led by Li Chengdong and took a detour.

When the Qing army entered the river valley along the Zhangshui, Li Chengdong and Gao Jie led their troops to kill and form a siege against the Qing army.

The only problem is that it has to be solved quickly. If the main force led by Duoduo is delayed to return, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Ming army led by Gao Jie and Li Chengdong to successfully evacuate.

Gao Jie learned from the Tartar scout that Luckedhun was a young man in his twenties who did not have much experience in commanding troops, and this was the first time that Luckedhun had commanded troops in the true sense of the word.

So Gao Jie is ready to use this to make some articles.

In general, a person who commands a military for the first time is in a hurry to prove himself.

Therefore, as long as Gao Jie sells a flaw, it is said that Luck Dehun will pounce without hesitation.

This requires a bait.

Gao Jie thought of Daniel Zhang for the first time.

This guy is the deputy general of the Green Battalion Army who surrendered in Weihui Mansion, and he followed Gao Jie all the way to conquer the city, and there was no way to retreat. Even the braids on the back of the heads of these green battalion soldiers have been cut off, and now there is not a single hair on their bare heads, which is no different from that of monks.

It was Li Chengdong who once joked that Daniel Zhang led an army of monks.

Gao Jie was ready to order this monk army to take the initiative to march north along the Zhangshui River and have an encounter with the Qing army led by Luck Dehun.

This encounter is only a defeat and not a victory, and the purpose is to arouse the desire of Luckedhun.

What Daniel Zhang had to do was to break all the way and lure the Qing army into the ambush valley, so that Gao Jie and Li Chengdong could kill at the most critical time.

The plan is perfect, and the key is to see if Luck Dehun will be fooled.

If Daniel Zhang acts like a little bit, Gao Jie feels that there is still a great opportunity.

When Gao Jie found Daniel Zhang and told all his thoughts, although Daniel Zhang answered with his mouth, he was bitter in his heart.

He really regretted why he didn't find a chance to escape in the first place.

Now, he has become an out-and-out 'anti-Qing person', and there is no other choice but to follow Gao Jie to the end.

Fuck it, just do it! People die and birds rise to the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years! Isn't it just a tartar, it's all a pair of eyes and a mouth, can you swallow him alive?

......

......

"Lord Belle, it's Ning Jinbo in front."

Fan Wencheng held the reins of the horse with one hand and pointed to a large marsh road not far away.

Although Dolgon finally decided to appoint Luck Dehun as the general of the army to go out of Beijing to block the Ming army, he was still a little relieved, so he decided to send Fan Wencheng to accompany the army.

Fan Wencheng is old and serious, and he is full of tricks and tricks, and Dolgon is much more relieved that he is at the side of Lucker.

Of course, Fan Wencheng will not refuse this. Anxious about what the master is anxious about, thinking about what the master thinks, this is the duty of a slave.

As an old slave who has taken the initiative since the Nurhachi period, Fan Wencheng has a very special affection for the Aixin Jueluo family.

In Fan Wencheng's view, the affairs of Aixinjueluo's family are more important than the affairs of his own family. And the current battle is related to the luck of the Aixin Jueluo family and the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, he can't stay out of the matter, share the worries of his master, and have an unshirkable responsibility!

"Mr. Fan, should we camp and rest near Ning Jinbo today? In this way, it is more convenient for the soldiers to take water and bury the pot to make rice. ”

Lucketthun trusts Fan Wencheng very much, and he listens to Fan Wencheng for how to choose the marching route after coming out of Beijing.

"Lord Belle might as well order the army to be stationed a little further away from Shuibo, so it is safer."

Fan Wencheng hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his worries.

"Camping against the water is a taboo for soldiers. In case the southerners suddenly kill, it is very easy to cause the soldiers to trample and drown. ”
