In Dalinghe City, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zu Dabi, Zhang Cunren, Liu Tianlu, Liu Renyu and other generals of the Liao army and the Jingbianbao army gathered together and sat in turn.

Today's gathering is for important matters to discuss.

"Marshal, ladies and gentlemen, when our army's hot air balloon air force unit was carrying out a raid and harassment mission recently, it was found that Jiannu's army had been moving quite frequently recently, and a large group of men and horses often went to the west. Recently, the Nu Chief Huang Taiji has never appeared on the southern and western hills, because he has also gone to the west with a large group of men. ”

Liu Renyu reported the recent abnormal situation of the Houjin army to the generals of the Liao army.

"Jiannu dispatched troops like this, thinking that our army's reinforcements had arrived, and Jiannu had to send troops to intercept it." Zu Dashou groaned.

"Marshal, if our army reinforcements really come, our army should seize the opportunity, attack quickly, meet with the reinforcements, and fight a decisive battle with Jiannu." When Zu Dabi heard that his reinforcements were coming, he immediately suggested excitedly.

The rest of the Liao generals followed the Jingbianbao army to suppress the Houjin on the surface recently, and over time, their fear of the Houjin gradually decreased, so when Zu Dabi suggested sending troops to attack, all the generals readily agreed, without any fear of war.

Zu Dashou saw that the army's heart was available, and he was very happy in his heart, he was a strong general, advocating attack, but he didn't know if the Jingbian Fort army, which was extremely powerful, was willing to cooperate?

"General Liu, if there are reinforcements to save the Daling River, this town plans to send troops to take the initiative to attack, meet with our reinforcements, and then fight a decisive battle with Jiannu, I don't know what General Liu wants, is he willing to attack with our army?"

After Zu Dashou finished speaking, he stared at Liu Renyu, and the rest of the Liao army generals also stared at Liu Renyu, their eyes burned with the light of begging for battle, and they hoped that Liu Renyu would agree.

Liu Renyu's original plan was to continue to hold on, and then surprise troops to attack Houjin Grain Road and force Houjin to retreat, but he had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

However, at this time, he saw that the generals of the Liao army were excited, and their desire to fight was very strong, so he temporarily suppressed this thought.

He searched repeatedly in his memory, trying to recall the date and number of troops that the Ming army came to help in the Battle of Daling River. After thinking about it, I finally dug up the useful information in the dusty corner for a long time.

On September 24, the fourth year of Chongzhen, Yongping prepared Zhang Chun, led the Liao generals Song Wei and Wu Xiang, and joined forces of 40,000 troops to save the Daling River, and finally the whole army was annihilated, Zhang Chun was captured alive, but the civil official refused to bend his knees and surrender to Houjin, and died righteously.

This is the end of the rescue of the Daling River reinforcements in later history, if history is not disturbed, September 27 is the day of Zhang Chun's defeat.

Liu Renyu thought about it again, and felt that this Zhang Chun was also a talent, and his combat effectiveness at the end of the Ming Dynasty was not necessarily worse than Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Renyu smiled and said: "The last general doesn't like to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and now that my brigade of reinforcements has arrived, it is natural to lead the army to attack, meet with the main force, and fight a decisive battle with Jiannu." The eldest husband and son, why did he come from the army, the horse leather shrouded the body, set up immortal deeds for thousands of years, and set up a monument to be diligent in the king's affairs, so that future generations can admire. If you die, you will die, what is there to fear, the last general is willing to lead the entire Jingbian Fort army to attack together with the commander. ”

"General Liu said well, I admire it." When the generals of the Liao army heard this, they all burned with blood and praised wildly.

"Very good, very good, since General Liu agrees to attack, let's discuss the offensive and defensive strategies together. First, our army also needs to confirm whether there are really reinforcements to save our Daling River, and whether there is fraud in it; Second, it is necessary to leave capable generals in Dalinghe City to defend it, so as not to have no way for our army to retreat when the battle is unfavorable. Zu Dashou said.

"What the marshal said is very true, the matter of reconnaissance will be handed over to the hot air balloon of the last general. This hot air balloon flies high in the sky, you can see the situation in all directions, and with a clairvoyant mirror, you can see the situation within a radius of 20 miles. In addition, in order to confirm whether the reinforcements are really the official troops of our Ming Dynasty, I also asked the marshal to send a few people to go out to reconnoiter with our air force, and wait until it is confirmed that the imperial court has indeed sent reinforcements, and our army can attack. Liu Renyu said.

"According to what General Liu said, without further ado, I also ask General Liu to send a hot air balloon air force unit as soon as possible, which is lawful."

"Yes," Zukaffa replied.

"Fly to the sky, are you afraid?" Zu Dashou said with a smile.

"I'm handsome! The Jingbian Fort army is flying around in the sky, like walking on the ground, and the last general is also carrying a head on two shoulders, how can it not go to the sky! Zu Kefa said sullenly.

"Very good, I ordered you to send two people to go to the west with the Jingbianbao Air Force to see if our reinforcements are coming?" Zu Dashou ordered.

"Yes, Marshal." When Zu Kefa got the order, he smiled at Liu Renyu and said, "General Liu, please give an order to your subordinates." ”

"Okay, no problem." Liu Renyu agreed, and then shouted loudly outside: "What's the disease? ”

"Here," Sun Wuxian heard Liu Renyu's call, so he hurriedly walked into the military tent, knelt on one knee, and prepared to listen to the order.

"Go and tell Li Jiye, General Zu Kefa, and two of his subordinates will go to the west with the air force to reconnoitre, the task is to see if there are any reinforcements from the direction of Jinzhou, if so, take a closer look at whether it is a real reinforcement, and confirm whether it is Jiannu pretending?" Liu Renyu commanded.

"Yes, General." Sun Wu got the order, so he got up and said respectfully to Zu Kefa: "General Zu, please go with your humble position." ”

"Sun Qian, please." Zu Kefa respects the Jingbian Fort Army, and he is extremely polite to a thousand generals.

"Then the lowly duty will lead the way."

Sun Wuxian took the lead and led the way in front, and Zu Kefa followed behind Sun Wuxian, walked out of the camp and headed towards the camp where the Jingbianbao Army Air Force was located.

"Marshal, if we confirm that the imperial reinforcements are coming, how should we attack?" He Kegang asked.

"The town means let's attack from the south."

Before He Kegang's voice fell, Zu Dashou replied firmly.

"South? I don't know why the big handsome chose the south? Zhang Cunren asked.

"The town deliberately observed, found that the defense in the east is the weakest, the north is slightly better than the east, the west has the strictest defense, and the south defense is worse than the west, if our army attacks, it is impossible to go north and east, can only go west and south, the west defense is the most solid, but I am afraid that Jiannu has the most troops, it is not easy to break through, so we can only go to the south." Zu Dashou said in detail.

"What the big marshal said is extremely true! To the south is the defense area of the two blue flags, and the elite of Mang Gurtai's men were killed and wounded very badly by the Jingbianbao army, and their strength will inevitably be greatly damaged. Liu Tianlu nodded in agreement.

"The big handsome has a very good plan." The rest of the Liao army generals also nodded their heads.

"General Liu, what do you think of the plan to attack Nan Mian'er?" Zu Dashou asked.

"The main direction of the marshal's attack is very good, and the last general has no objections." Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"Very good, since the direction of the main attack has been determined, the next thing our army has to do is to formulate an offensive strategy, I don't know if you have a strategy?" Zu Dashou asked.

There was a sudden silence on the field, and everyone was actively thinking about how to defend the battle.

After a while, Liu Renyu took the lead and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the general has a detailed plan. ”

"What is the plan, General Liu, you just have to say." He Kegang encouraged.

"Yes, lieutenant. The last general means that since the main direction of attack is selected in the south, then the first thing we need to consider is the attack time and troops, and the attack time, the last general thinks that it is best to choose the time when the sky is just about to dawn, and there is no light, because at this time, people are the most sleepy.

In order to achieve the best attack effect, the final will send hot air balloon air force units to continuously harass the two blue flags, making them sleep deprived and their combat effectiveness reduced. At that time, our army will recuperate and attack the exhausted soldiers of the two blue flags of Jiannu, and they will be able to win with confidence.

And if you want to take the initiative, you also need to solve the problem of crossing the trench, which means that the last general means to immediately rush to make wooden boxes, load them with soil, transport them to the side of the trench dug by Jiannu by horse-drawn cart, and push the wooden frame into the trench, and the trench can be filled in a short time. Of course, when our army attacked quickly, it was better to cover the trenches with planks first. In this way, the trench was filled in, and our army had a way out. In addition to this, the last general has one more thing to explain to you. ”

When Liu Renyu said this, he suddenly stopped talking and smiled silently.

At this time, the curiosity of the generals of the Liao army was aroused.

"General Liu, if you have anything to say, finish it in one go." Acute Zizu Dabi urged urgently.

"Okay, Second General Zu, the last general will say, your superiors, the last general has been secretly digging tunnels since he came to the Daling River, and he originally planned to escape when he was unable to fight, but now he plans to use it for a surprise attack." Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"So that's it? I thought it was something! We already knew that your Jingbian Fort army had set up a big tent and transported soil from it every day, so naturally they were really digging tunnels. He Kegang smiled slightly.

Liu Renyu suddenly had a feeling of wanting to vomit blood, and thought that he was playing with a lot of secrets, but it turned out that he had already been discovered.
