After Huang Taiji issued the order to retreat, all the officers and soldiers of the Houjin Eight Banners and the Outer Domains of Mongolia prepared with both horses, the first hand was to make the car, polish the weapons, and make it look like there was going to be a big battle, which was prepared to be seen by the hot air balloon air force scouts of the Ming army who might come. The other hand of preparation is to pack your bags and prepare for the retreat in the evening.

The atmosphere on the Houjin side was tense and busy, while the Ming army in Dalinghe City was much idle.

However, this idleness only corresponded to the Ming army outside the Jingbian Fort Army, although the Jingbian Fort Army had only experienced a series of battles in the morning, and after lunch at noon, it only rested for an hour, and then immediately devoted itself to training again.

Fully armed, three-kilometer cross-country obstacle run, pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, simulated combat training, a practice is four hours.

For this kind of behavior of the Jingbian Fort Army, the Liao army under Zu Dashou has long been commonplace, and he doesn't care at all, but the new reinforcements have never seen it.

Therefore, the officers and men of Zhang Chun, Song Wei, and Wu Xiang's subordinates all had three layers inside and three layers outside, and surrounded the Dalinghe school field densely, and watched the training of the Jingbian Fort Army with great interest.

They watched the excitement and saw the unique training programs of the Jingbianbao Army, such as weight-bearing cross-country running, pull-ups, push-ups, and sit-ups.

Second, look at the realistic combat that simulates actual combat training, as well as the archery's amazing archery skills, and the incomparably accurate marksmanship of the firecrackers.

In short, there are too many highlights, Zhang Chun, Song Wei and Wu Xiang's subordinates are dizzying, and they don't forget to cheer from time to time.

The Jingbian Fort Army practiced lively on the school field in Dalinghe City, which naturally attracted Zhang Chun, Song Wei and Wu Xiang, who were resting.

When these three generals saw this, they were all amazed.

"The war has just ended, the Jingbian Fort Army actually did not rest, and immediately began to exercise, and looking at the appearance of the soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army, they were actually not tired, and the Jingbian Fort Army was really powerful." Zhang Chun smacked his tongue and said.

"No wonder they can defeat the soldiers and horses of Mang Gurtai with the same number of troops, this town knows why." Song Wei said in a deep voice with a look of admiration on his face.

"It would be nice if there were more such strong troops in the Guannei, and we wouldn't have to work so hard in Liaodong." Wu Xiang sighed faintly.

These three generals undoubtedly admired the Jingbian Fort Army's style, but they didn't have the heart to manipulate their own soldiers and horses like this, they just watched the excitement.

While the musketeers, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, archers and cavalry of the Jingbian Fort Army were busy with the exercise, Ke Zhihong ordered his three hot air balloons to take turns to attack and fly to the left of the Houjin and Yellow Banner camps to monitor the movements of the Houjin army.

In accordance with Huang Taiji's arrangement, the officers and soldiers of Houjin sharpened their knives and made ordnance when the Jingbianbao army could see it, and they looked like they were going to fight a big battle tomorrow.

When the Jingbian Fort army was out of sight, they seized the time to pack their bags and prepare for the retreat.

The air force of the Jingbianbao Army was deceived by the appearance of the Houjin Army, so they continuously transmitted the information of the Houjin Army's preparations for a decisive battle back to Dalinghe City.

Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zhang Chun, Wu Xiang, and Song Wei heard that the Houjin army was still planning a decisive battle with their own side, not only was they not afraid at all, but they also had some expectations.

The Houjin army pretended to fight a big war while secretly packing his bags.

It was easy to wait until sunset, and all the hot air balloons of the Jingbianbao army retreated, and Huang Taiji ordered the withdrawal of the troops to begin immediately.

When Dorgon and Dodor received the order, they went out into the darkness and went eastward.

The moon hangs in mid-air tonight, and there is some moonlight, and most of the Jin soldiers are well nourished and have no night blindness, so there is no problem in walking at night without holding torches.

The two white flags went first, the two red flags followed, the two blue flags went again, and then the Mongolian Zhubeile Taiji of the outer domain said goodbye to Huang Taiji, and then Shi Shiran returned to the north.

Before leaving, Huang Taiji looked back to the south, looked at the brightly lit Dalinghe City in the distance, shook his head in a complicated mood, and then went east with two yellow flags.

The main army of the Later Jin Dynasty all retreated, leaving only an empty camp tent in the entire camp, and more than 1,000 people stayed to fight the fire in order to confuse the soldiers of the Ming army.

The Ming army in Dalinghe City did not know that all the Houjin soldiers had retreated, and they thought that the Houjin army was making the final preparations before the big battle.

So Zu Dashou summoned all the generals to his tent for a meeting.

Zu Dashou's big tent was brightly lit, Zu Dashou, Zhang Chun, He Kegang, Zu Dabi, Song Wei, Wu Xiang, and Liu Renyu and other generals were all sitting on the horses, ready to discuss tomorrow's battle strategy.

"Lords and gentlemen, I invite you here now to discuss all matters related to the decisive battle with Jiannu tomorrow. You must also know very well that today our army fought with Jiannu, killing 4,000 enemies, capturing 1,000 alive, and losing two white flag horses.

On the other hand, our army, although it has lost nearly 7,000 men and horses, but our morale is booming, and the fighting spirit is at the peak. "Zu Dashou is proud to dry the clouds.

"Yes, according to today's way of playing, it is not a problem to win Jiannu." Zu Dabi said with a smile.

When all the generals heard this, they all laughed, their expressions relaxed, and their minds were extremely relaxed.

"What Zu Dashuai said is extremely true, so how to defend tomorrow, please ask Zu Dashuai to say a rule, let us listen to it first." Zhang Chun spoke.

"Okay, then the town will first explain the tactics of war, please listen to the generals first. Tonight, the hot-air balloon air force units of the Jingbianbao Army will be dispatched to attack and harass Jiannu all night and weaken their combat effectiveness. ”

"Dare to ask Marshal Zu, how did the hot air balloon air force units of the Jingbianbao Army attack Jiannu and weaken their combat effectiveness?" When Zhang Chun heard this, he felt a little questioned, so he asked.

"Let's ask General Liu to tell me about this."

Zu Dashou looked at Liu Renyu and said with a smile.

"The solution is very simple, the last general will let the hot air balloon air force units set off firecrackers, so that Jiannu can't sleep, so that their combat effectiveness can be weakened." Liu Renyu took Zu Dashou's words and said.

"Hahahaha, General Liu's plan is really wonderful, since Song joined the army, he has never heard of such a tactic, a clever plan, a clever plan, a really good plan." When Song Wei heard that the Jingbian Fort Army's method of harassment was so creative, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed.

Zhang Chun and Wu Xiang also laughed heartily, amused by the Jingbianbao Army's extremely novel tactics.

Zu Dashou and other generals had laughed enough, so they continued to speak: "Tomorrow, our army has 20,000 horses and 20,000 infantry troops, all of which will attack. In the early hours of the morning, when the time on the bell was shown to be half past five, all our troops would get up, and the muskets would prepare breakfast by six o'clock. At six o'clock the whole army was fed, and at seven o'clock the whole army attacked.

Our army marched to the front of the Jiannu army, and then lined up to fight a decisive battle with it. When the formation was in formation, General Liu's chariots were all lined up in the rear of the military formation, shelling Jiannu, the cavalry wings protected both sides, ready to attack at any time, and the infantry arrived at the front, laying out horses and thistles. The battle array is good, just wait for Jiannu to fight a decisive battle with our army.

This decisive battle with Jiannu, if Jiannu is defeated, our army should not pursue, I am afraid that there is fraud, if the battle is unfavorable, then the cavalry palace, the charioteer wing guards the flank of the infantry army, and slowly retreats into the city of Dalinghe. This is the town's strategy of war and defense, I wonder if you have any objections? ”

"Mr. Zu's layout is very proper, and Zhang has no objection." Zhang Chun said with a smile.

"We have no objection." Song Wei and Wu Xiang replied.

Liu Renyu and Zu Dashou's generals did not raise objections either.

"Well, since you have no objections, then it is decided. Tonight, the armies still need to rest well, so that they can recharge their energy and fight bravely against the enemy tomorrow. Zu Dashou admonished.

Naturally, the generals agreed.
