"Xu Lang. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lin Zhaolong was interrupted by Xu Lang as soon as he spoke, "Don't ask me first, I'll sort out my thoughts." ”

Xu Lang thought quietly for a while: "Everyone sit, let me tell you what I think." ”

Everyone sat down quietly, and Xu Lang said: "Tao Min and Huang Taiji tore their faces, the news of being imprisoned by Huang Taiji must be fake, and the strategy of the Eight Banners must have been thought up by Tao Min." The land reform in North Korea has been very effective, and Huang Taiji is now not short of food. The 70,000-strong attack on Datong was on the one hand to hold back the Ming army in order to capture the city of Guihua and subdue the Mongols, and on the other hand, to be able to recruit displaced people to strengthen the anti-Jin forces, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"So Tao Min is still helping Huang Taiji?" Wang Qianxiang asked.

"Yes, he must be helping Huang Taiji, and he must have gone to Naturalization City."

"So what do we do?" Lin Zhaolong asked, "Why don't we go to attack Shengjing again?" Anyway, the 120,000 and eight flags have come out, and Shengjing must be empty. ”

"No, we can't go to Shengjing." Xu Lang shook his head and said, "We have already had a surprise attack, Tao Min will not be unprepared." Besides, our cavalry is not enough to make a surprise attack. ”

"Then we can't wait here." Zhao Qi asked, "Why don't we go to Naturalization City?" ”

"No, either." Xu Lang vetoed again, "It's too late, maybe now the Naturalization City has been beaten down by Tao Min." ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how can it be done." Han Wantao was really anxious, "We can't go to Datong with 70,000 Tartars." ”

Xu Lang suddenly laughed: "Why do you all ask about me, you can't think of a way." ”

"Who calls you the Chief of the General Staff, don't ask who you ask." Zhou Lei also smiled.

"The chief of staff of your independent division is He Chaoyong." Xu Lang pointed at He Chaoyong, "It's not me." ”

"Alright, I'm still thinking about joking." Han Wantao shouted, "Have a meeting and discuss what to do." ”

The regimental officer meeting was held again, and this time Xu Lang called Gao Chen, hoping that Gao Chen could also help come up with ideas.

One suggestion after another was rejected, the entire conference room was filled with smoke, and the meeting that had lasted almost an hour had not been able to come up with a solution.

Han Wantao looked around a little dejected: "If there is no good way, let's wait here, the imperial court will have a will." ”

"Gao Chen." Xu Lang called the name of Gao Chen, who had not spoken, "Don't stop talking, say everything you think." ”

"Sir." Gao Chen stood up and stood upright, "My subordinates want to ask the senior two questions first." ”

"Just ask." Han Wantao replied expressionlessly.

"First, my subordinates want to ask if the Tartars will come to attack Yulinbao; Second, where the Tartars will retreat. ”

Xu Lang's heart suddenly brightened, and he glanced up at Gao Chen approvingly, why didn't he think of this method just now.

"Staff Officer Gao, don't worry, the Tartars will not come to attack Yulin Fort." Xu Lang replied affirmatively.

"Yes, sir."

"As for where the Tartars will retreat." Xu Lang got up and pointed to the map and said, "According to the news brought by the scouts, all the materials and people looted by the Tartars this time were transported to the place of Ningbao in Tianchengwei Town, so the Tartars should have retreated in this place. ”

"Sir." Gao Chen turned his face to Han Wantao, "If we can't confront the Tartars head-on, our subordinates suggest an ambush when the Tartars retreat." ”

"Okay, senior staff officer, great talent." Han Wantao remembered the ambush battle in Liaodong again, "Back then, the remnants of our mixed brigade were able to destroy Yue Tuo's three thousand elites, and this time we will fight again." ”

"Wan Tao, don't be too happy too early." Xu Lang asked Wang Qianxiang, "Is there a suitable location for an ambush in Zhenning Fort?" ”

Wang Qianxiang lay on the map and looked at it carefully: "There is no suitable location, but there is a river called Yanmen Water here, maybe you can use it." ”

Xu Lang also looked around Zhenning Fort on the map, turned to Han Wantao and said, "Wantao, let's arrange it for you to see if it's okay." Immediately send scouts to Fort Zhenning to determine the location of the ambush. The independent division is stationed in Yulinbao to wait for the decree of the imperial court, and I think the imperial court will not be without movement. Wait for the scouts to bring back the specifics, and we'll make a specific decision. ”

"Okay, that's it." Han Wantao ordered, "Zhou Lei, Wang Qianxiang, you are responsible for organizing scouts to go to Zhenningbao to investigate, and you must use the locals of Datong and Xuanfu to be familiar with the situation; Lin Zhaolong, who is responsible for the preparation of the infantry regiment and can be drawn at any time; Andreas, collect all the horses and set aside a thousand horses for my fifth regiment; Zhao Qi, prepare plenty of shells and gunpowder, once the ambush starts, rely on your artillery. ”

"Yes, sir." Everyone replied in unison.

After another two days, the scouts of Datong and Lu Baozhong's personal soldiers arrived at Yulin Fort.

"General Wang, General Wang has an order, please return to Datong quickly." After speaking, the scout of Datong knelt down to Han Wantao and Zhou Lei, "General Han, General Zhou, please save my family." The Tartars are menacing this time, and Datong Town is afraid that it will not be guaranteed. ”

Zhou Lei ignored the scout, turned to Lu Baozhong's personal soldiers and asked, "What does Lord Lu mean?" ”

"Back to the general." The soldier replied, "Lord Lu ordered the general's headquarters to go to Xuanfu Town to listen to the order, and Lord Guan has already gone." ”

Zhou Lei smiled in his heart, he has now been appointed as a general, and Guan Mingke is also a general, so it is not good to give orders directly to himself.

"How is Datong doing now?" Wang Qianxiang asked.

"Back to the general." The scout from Datong replied, "It's critical. The Tartars are menacing, and nearly half of the eight guards, seven houses, and five hundred and eighty-three forts in Datong Town have been lost. When he left, the Tartars were plundering everywhere, and the soldiers were pointing directly at Datong Mansion. ”

"Go and rest first, we won't sit idly by." Han Wantao beckoned, and someone brought the two messengers down.

"What should we do now, do we go to Datong to save Wang Pu?"

"Qianxiang, where is your cigarette factory located?" Xu Lang suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Datong Mansion, there are a lot of people there." Wang Qianxiang was a little confused, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you're in Datong Mansion, the Tartars can't beat Datong Mansion." Xu Lang smiled, "Everyone, let's not go to Datong, go to Xuanfu." If we go to Datong now, I'm afraid we will fight to the death with the Tartars, and if we go to Xuanfu Town, we can be regarded as obeying Lu Baozhong's orders. We can wait for news from the imperial court in Xuanfu Town, and at the same time, Xuanfu Town is closer to Zhenning Fort. ”

"But when we go to Xuanfu Town, we have to obey Lu Baozhong's orders." Han Wantao asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, Lu Baozhong will not go to Datong to save Wang Pu. If there is a mistake in Xuanfu Town, Lu Baozhong is also a felony, and he will never make wedding clothes for others. ”

"Zhou Lei." Han Wantao was still a little worried, "How many soldiers and horses are there in Xuanfu Town, how many people do you think Lu Baozhong can gather." ”

"If you don't count us, Xuanfu Town should have more than 150,000 horse infantry troops, but in fact, it would be good to have half of them now, that is, more than 80,000, and about 32,000 horses. As for how much Lu Baozhong can gather, I think thirty or forty thousand should be no problem. ”
