On September 26, the fourth year of Chongzhen, according to the news from the reconnaissance of the hot air balloon air force, tens of thousands of reinforcements sent by the imperial court have arrived near the left side of Changshan, only fifteen miles away from the Daling River.

From the afternoon of that day, Zu Dashou mobilized the whole army, made wooden frames, and then filled the frames with earth. When all the frames were filled in with earth, they were moved to the wagon and placed in place.

At the same time, Zu Dashou selected 500 cavalry, together with Sun Wu's department, and a total of 1,000 troops, entered the tunnel in turn, and slowly marched to the east.

The rest of the soldiers checked their weapons and armor, fed their horses with concentrate, brushed them, massaged, bathed, and were very busy, with the aim of making them more productive in the battle tomorrow.

In the evening, the hot-air balloon air force units of the Jingbianbao Army were all dispatched to harass the enemy in accordance with the old rules, but the targets of this harassment were only two blue flags.

Originally, Ke Zhihong considered that his own army would attack the two blue flags tomorrow, so he planned to start early when he harassed them at night, but this idea was resolutely rejected by Liu Renyu.

On weekdays, I started harassing at two o'clock in the morning, but today I suddenly changed the time, and I knew that there was a problem.

Therefore, Ke Zhihong's hot air balloon air force unit still started firing artillery at two o'clock in the morning as usual.

In the past, when the Jingbianbao army first went to the Houjin barracks to set off artillery battles, there were unbearable Houjin soldiers who came out to release arrows and curse the street, but later the Houjin soldiers were used to being harassed, so they simply plugged their ears with cotton and lay down in the barracks to sleep.

Seeing that the Houjin soldiers ignored themselves, the Jingbianbao army threw incendiary bombs into the barracks, and as a result, many Houjin soldiers were burned to death.

In order to deal with this trick, the Houjin soldiers erected wooden poles on all sides of the camp tent, and then used hemp rope to weave a net, covering their own military camp, 10,000 enemies fell from the air, most of them will be bounced away by this net, even if the bullet does not go, it will explode on the net, and it will only burn the net.

After the Houjin soldiers used this method, they finally got rid of the endless harassment of the Jingbian Fort Army, and at least they could sleep peacefully.

But people can sleep peacefully, but horses can't, after all, horses are animals, and if you stuff its ears with cotton, it may not be very cooperative, and horses and people have different ear structures, so you can't use this trick.

Therefore, in order to avoid the harassment of the horses by firecrackers, the Houjin banners moved the stables away from the camp, so that the horses could get enough rest.

After all, horses are different from people, and when they are tired, they will not say that they are tired, and when they arrive on the battlefield, if the horse can't hold on, they will fall directly to the ground, and then the person riding on the horse will be miserable.

Although the Houjin Jurchens are fishing and hunting peoples, they also like to ride horses and cherish horses relatively well, so it is reasonable to do so, and Huang Taiji didn't say anything.

Therefore, since the Houjin soldiers found an effective way to curb the harassment of the Jingbianbao army, the harassment of the Jingbianbao army has actually become a mere formality, but Liu Renyu does not know this, and the harassment is still going on.

When the hot-air balloon air force of the Jingbianbao Army continued to harass the two Blue Flag barracks, Liu Renyu called his military attachés together for a meeting to discuss the matters of war defense.

"Tomorrow, our army will attack with the reinforcements of the whole army, and I hope that you will fight bravely tomorrow to raise the prestige of our army and revitalize the prestige of our country." Liu Renyu mobilized.

"Yes, General." All the military attaches replied in unison.

"Ergou, tonight, lay the planks into the trenches dug by our army. Tomorrow you will be solely responsible for filling the trenches, and when the trenches are filled, you will lead all the baggage troops back to the city to stay. ”

"Yes, General." He Ergou replied.

"Left hang, your musketeers will first ride their horses and attack with the army tomorrow, and then climb to the roof of the chariot when the battle is due, and shoot the enemy from all sides."

"Yes, General." Wang Zuo replied.

"Jiye, your men and horses will fire cannons on their chariots to attack the enemy, and archers and musketeers will protect your artillery."

"Yes, General." Li Jiye replied.

"Iron Bull, your men and horses will guard the chariots during the battle, and pursue the enemy when they retreat."

"Yes, General." Zhang Tieniu replied.

"Desheng, Wenshan, you two are the main force of our army's assault, specializing in fighting with the enemy."

"Yes, General." Yang Desheng and Ma Wenshan agreed in unison.

"When you wait for your life to rest, I will also make a move, and lead people to carry out a night attack, I will touch the two blue flag outposts in the early morning tomorrow, solve all their sentries, and lay the planks so that my army can attack quickly tomorrow. Don't wait to say that I can't take risks, I'm just like you, I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, I'm raised by my mother's father, who is more expensive than whom? If you want to fight, I will also fight. Liu Renyu said with a smile.

The military attachés knew Liu Renyu's temper, so they did not waste their efforts to persuade them, and after listening to the words of their generals, their hearts were warm, and their hearts became more and more firm.

Liu Renyu saw that everyone had no objections, so he ordered: "Go back and rest, cook at five o'clock in the morning tomorrow, attack at six o'clock, and kill Jiannu." ”

"Yes." When the military attachés received the order, they returned to their barracks.

"I learned the dragon slaying technique and sold it to the emperor's family, I have too little time to use this kung fu, so let me show my skills tomorrow." Liu Renyu muttered to himself.

At four o'clock in the morning on September 27, before dawn, normally people should be sleeping at this time, if they can't sleep, then this time is also the time when people are most sleepy.

In the grass between Dalinghe City and Houjin, Liu Renyu was dressed in a black suit, and with a dozen masked people in the same black suit, he bowed forward in the grass.

The cool breeze blew the wild grass, and the wild grass rubbed, bringing bursts of rustling sounds, successfully masking the voices of Liu Renyu and others.

They walked forward quickly, and after they could reach the edge of the trench, Liu Renyu accelerated and jumped, and after rolling a few laps on the ground, he stood firm, and then when he touched the big trench, he jumped vigorously, grabbed the edge of the trench with both hands and jumped with strength, and then fell to the other side of the trench, and the rest of the night raiders also crossed the trench like this.

After crossing the trench, the next step is to solve the sentry.

Houjin's sentinels were all on duty in the earthen walls.

Liu Renyu caught a glimpse of several Houjin sentry posts on the earthen wall, all of them holding spears in their hands and hunching their bodies, looking like they wanted to sleep but couldn't.

Generally speaking, the Ming army in Dalinghe City never carried out night attacks, and it was later that the Jin soldiers were more lax in their defenses when they were keeping vigil at night.

Liu Renyu glanced at it a few times, and then made a few gestures to his subordinates.

Everyone nodded, and divided into several squads, corresponding to the Houjin sentinels.

After selecting the target, the night raiders of the Jingbianbao Army took out the flying eagle claws, spun them in their hands for a while, threw them up, hooked them on the earthen wall, and the team members pulled the rope hard to make sure that it would not slip, and then dragged the rope to climb up.

When the night raiders of the Jingbian Fort Army came to the earthen wall, they took the special dagger in their hands, bent their waists, and crept to the side of the Houjin Gang to attack the attack.

I saw that their left hand tightly covered the mouth and nose of the Houjin sentinel, and the right hand wiped the enemy's neck with ease, and those Houjin soldiers trembled all over, and they could not die anymore.

Today, Liu Renyu also followed the real addiction, he solved the three sentinels alone, and the techniques were different, twisting the neck, wiping the neck, inserting the back of the heart, all with one blow fatal.

"The sword is not old, and the kung fu is still there!" Liu Renyu first praised himself, and then ordered his subordinates: "Notify the other side, put on the plank." ”

"Yes, General." When his subordinates received the order, they learned the sound of crickets and called a few words.

On the other side, there were also a few echoes with the crickets, and then many night raiders wearing black suits carried iron-clad wooden planks and advanced to the left side of the trench and put the planks on the trench.

"Very good, everything is in place, only the east wind is owed." Liu Renyu looked at the two blue flag camps in front of him and smiled.
