"What if Lu Baozhong doesn't agree?" Zhou Lei asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"It's easy to do." Jiang Beiming said, "I'll go with you, just say it's Zhang Fengyi's idea, Lu Baozhong won't disagree." ”

Two days later, more than 14,000 people from the two regiments of the Independent Division, the Shenji Battalion, and the Quick Gun Squad set off under the leadership of Jiang Beiming and Han Wantao.

A few days later, the troops trekked more than 300 miles to join Lin Zhaolong.

The independent division held a separate meeting of officers at the regimental level.

"How's your preparation?" Jiang Beiming, as the commander of an independent division, took the lead in asking questions.

"You're almost ready." Lin Zhaolong replied, "But the plan has changed a little. ”

"Why change." Han Wantao was a little anxious again, "Is it too late to change the plan at this time?" ”

"Deputy Division Commander Han, don't worry yet." Lin Zhaolong pointed to the map and introduced, "I personally went to check the terrain of Yanmen Shui, and that place is not suitable for ambush warfare. But less than five miles northeast from Yanmen Water is the Yinshan Mountain Range, and the Tartars will definitely have to go there. The ambush location that Ye Zhan personally found. ”

"Sir." Ye Zhan stood up and said, "My subordinates have participated in the Goryeo operation, and the current ambush site is almost exactly the same terrain as the original ambush of Yue Tuo, and my subordinates think that this location is better than Yanmen Water now." ”

"Ye Zhan, you sit down first." Xu Lang asked, "Last time, we only ambushed 3,000 Eight Banners, this time it is 70,000, and there are more than 100,000 people, can we open it?" ”

"That's how we set it up." Lin Zhaolong continued, "The valley of the ambush site is very wide, and we can't completely block it. And we have only 20,000 men, and 70,000 Tartars, and I have had them sprinkle fire oil in the valley, and I have prepared some stones and rolling logs, and I can block as many as I can. Our idea is to be able to surprise the Tartars head-on and let the Tartars withdraw to Yanmen Water. I had people build a dam upstream of the Yanmen River, and as long as they retreated, we could flood the Seventh Army. ”

"Where are the artillery stationed?" Jiang Beiming asked.

"Here, at the exit of the valley." Lin Zhaolong pointed to the map and said, "Seal the mountain pass with artillery, and none of the Tartars who enter the mountain can get out." ”

"How many people can fit in this valley?" Han Wantao asked.

"If the Tartars march intensively, 30,000 horses can be blocked inside."

"In other words, there are still 40,000 people who can't enter the mountain." Xu Lang muttered.

"That's what we think." Lin Zhaolong drew two lines on the map, "Cut the Tartars' troops into three sections, let go of the Tartars' vanguard, block his Chinese army in the valley, and flood them with Yanmen water when the rear army retreated." ”

"Where is the location of the cavalry regiment?" Jiang Beiming asked again.

"Ambush by the Yanmen Water River. After flooding the Seventh Army, the Tartars will definitely be chaotic, and at this time the cavalry can rush to kill. ”

Everyone was silently thinking about Lin Zhaolong's plan, and Jiang Beiming asked, "I don't think there is much of a problem with this plan, which of you still has an opinion?" ”

"This plan ignores a big problem." Xu Lang took out a cigarette and lit it slowly, "What about the people of Daming, they are not within the scope of the ambush." ”

"We've thought about it. The people of the Ming Dynasty will certainly not go mixed with the Tartars, and if they go ahead, we will let them go first; If they go behind, after the ambush starts, we will separate them with cavalry regiments. Lin Zhaolong's tone sank when he said this, "Of course, if you want to kill a single citizen, I'm afraid you can't do it." ”

"Then what if the Tartars are anxious and force the people to charge forward?" Xu Lang asked again.

Lin Zhaolong didn't think about this question, and was asked all of a sudden.

"If that's the case." Jiang Beiming replied for Lin Zhaolong, "I can only let them go, I hope this situation will not happen." ”

Everyone discussed for a long time, and Jiang Beiming finally gave the order.

The Shenji Battalion and the Quick Gun Team, together with Ye Zhan's Fourth Infantry Regiment, totaled more than 12,000 people, all went up the mountain to set up an ambush, because Jiang Beiming was still worried about the combat effectiveness of these Ming troops, and they would be safer on the mountain; Andreas's cavalry regiment lay in ambush beside the Yanmen Water and waited for orders; Zhao Qi's heavy artillery regiment was placed at the mouth of the valley according to the original plan; Lin Zhaolong led the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Regiments to also ambush beside the Yanmen Water and cooperate with the cavalry regiment to fight; Han Wantao's Fifth Infantry Regiment was on standby as a mobile force to carry out reinforcement missions.

Under the city of Datong, tens of thousands of eight banners have besieged Datong for more than 20 days, and Wang Pu has been looking forward to the stars and the moon every day in Datong Mansion but has never seen a rescuer.

"Return to the master." An Ezhen entered the Azig's tent, "Dolgonbele sent a message. ”

"Whoever is, call him in."

A messenger entered the tent and presented a letter: "Enlighten Lord Belle, my master has sent a servant to deliver a letter to Lord Belle. ”

Azig didn't open Dolgon's letter: "What's going on over there in Naturalization?" ”

"Back to Lord Belle, the naturalized city of Omubu has been returned to Dajin, and my master is continuing to march westward to sweep away Mongolia."

"Got it." Azig Ping withdrew the messenger, opened the letter and looked at it a few times, and then asked, "Is there any movement over there in Xuanfu Town, how many people have we gathered in Zhenning Fort?" ”

"Back to the master." Ezhen replied, "According to the news of our scouts, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ming Army, has already set off from Xuanfu Town, and the strength of the Ming army is about 100,000, and there are still ten days away from Datong. We have gathered 210,000 Ming people in Zhenning Fort. The master is wise, and the method of providing relief to the victims is really good, and the number of people is still increasing. ”

"It's not Ben Baylor who is wise, it's the Great Khan who is sage." Azig smiled slightly, "Pass the order, all departments reorganize their troops, stop the attack, and march towards Zhenning Fort in two days." ”

"Master." That Ezhen paused for a moment, "The reinforcements of the Ming army are only 100,000, and they are vulnerable, why did the master withdraw his troops at this time." ”

"You ask me, who do I ask." Azig roared, "The will of the Great Khan, as long as we receive the news of the return of the Naturalization City, or the news of the arrival of the Ming army's reinforcements, we must withdraw our troops." ”

Ezhen shrank his neck, didn't dare to ask more, and went down to give the order.

Zhang Fengyi led more than 70,000 Ming troops, known as 200,000, and marched towards Datong Town tremblingly along the way, walking less than forty miles in one day.

"Report." A scout ran into Zhang Fengyi's camp, "Lord Qiqi, the Tartars have withdrawn their troops from Datong Mansion and are now marching in the direction of Zhenning Fort. ”

"The Tartars have withdrawn?" Zhang Fengyi's heart turned a few times, could it be that Jiang Beiming really defeated the reverse gold.

"Is there any news from the Shenji Battalion and the Quick Gun Team?" Zhang Fengyi turned his head and asked.
