"Report! The enemy advance had reached twenty miles away. ”

"Report! The enemy advance has reached fifteen miles away! ”

"Report! The enemy vanguard has reached ten miles away! ”

Fei Yanggu stood in the big tent of the Chinese army, staring at the map of Liaodong in front of him, and the direction of his attention was the direction of the two cities of Gaizhou and Guangning.

Do you just wait for reinforcements from the two cities to arrive and do nothing? Feiyangu clenched his fists vigorously, his face burning.

He now has 20,000 men, of which there are only 5,000 Manchurian soldiers, and the rest are men and horses of the Han and Mongolian Eight Banners.

Now that the enemy army is strong, these people may be okay to defend the city, but if they go out of the city to fight, it is very likely that they will never return, and he can't afford to lose a little now.

Hi! Feiyangu slammed his fist into the table next to him, and the hard wooden case was smashed into a small hole by his punch.

When did the invincible Eight Banners warriors in the field become afraid of fighting the enemy in the field? Feyangu's heart was filled with humiliation and anger.

"General, please let me lead the troops into battle, kill all these thieves, and be ashamed of me!"

A fiercely indignant voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Feyangu didn't have to look back, he knew who was speaking.

Bayan, the Zhenglan Banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Gushan Ezhen, is the highest military and political official of the Zhenglan Banner in addition to the banner owner, and is also a famous fierce general.

Lin Dan Khan, who once followed Huang Taiji to conquer Mongolia, also followed Dolgon to attack Korea, and was brave and invincible on the battlefield, and made many military exploits, so the current title is the third-class Angbang Zhangjing Jue.

Bayan is simple-minded and impulsive, although he is not enough to be a general in charge, but he is still qualified as a fierce general who charges into battle.

Looking at Bayan's widening eyes and angry expression, Feiyangu's heart moved. Although Tong Yangxing and Duoduo were defeated by the Jiang family's army successively, but if you think about it carefully, Tong Yangxing's defeat was ambushed, and Duoduo's defeat was careless, and it was a siege battle.

Now that the enemy is attacking, it is naturally a home battle for your own side, which is a big advantage.

If Bayan is allowed to fight, once it is unfavorable, it can also be withdrawn in time or sent someone to respond. Even if Bayan is defeated, the enemy will let them return with a feather if they want to take advantage of the situation to attack the city.

Perhaps the enemy is not as strong as it is rumored, but it is likely that the defeated generals have made excuses for themselves.

If Bayan wins, it can not only dampen the enemy's morale, but also boost the morale of his own side. When reinforcements from the two cities of Gaizhou and Guangning arrive, the enemy army can be encircled and suppressed under the city.

Maybe he really has a chance to be ashamed of the Qing Dynasty.

For a general, no one will easily miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

And Feiyangu thought very clearly, if he failed, it would also be Bayan's sin, because he himself insisted on going his own way to fight, and he could push it clean when the time came.

Thinking of this, Fei Yanggu said in embarrassment: "Bayan, do you know that the enemy army attacking this time is not the cowardly and vulnerable Ming army, but the Jiang family army that defeated King Yu last year, and even Ao Bai and Yue Tuo died in their hands, you better not be impulsive." ”

When Bayan heard this, he said angrily: "Ao Bai and Yue Tuo are dead, because they are not capable." Just because they're dead doesn't mean I, Bayan, will be like them. I am willing to make a military order, if I do not win the war, I am willing to be dealt with by military law! ”

Fei Yanggu was secretly happy in his heart, sure enough, what the Han people said was good, please be better than the general, Bayan was provoked by his own words and set up a military order, which couldn't be better.

"Okay, Bayan is not a fierce general of my Qing Dynasty, and you will lead the headquarters of 3,000 men and horses to fight in the first battle, and you are only allowed to win but not lose!" Feiyangu raised his voice and said loudly.

Bayan took the arrow and strode out of the tent to mobilize people.

The main force of the 30,000 Chinese army led by Jiang Chuan marched in the rear, and the forward 5,000 men and horses were 5,000 cavalry led by Bai Mu.

Among the 5,000 cavalry, there is a core elite composed of 500 iron guards, which is also Jiangchuan's arrangement to ensure that the vanguard can win a battle when encountering a strong enemy.

"General, our army's outpost has reached ten miles south of Liaoyang City." The outpost scout came to report.

Bai Mu said in a deep voice: "Move forward slowly, if you encounter a small group of enemy troops, you can encircle and annihilate them." If you encounter a large number of enemy troops, you don't need to be strong, and you want to lure the enemy deeper, I will lead people to surround you. ”

"No!" The scout received the order and rode forward again.

The main general who led the outpost was Zhao Feng, the cavalry commander who led the troops to meet the eunuch Li Jinzhong last time, and he led a thousand light cavalry as the vanguard at this time, taking on the task of traveling for the army and reconnoitring the enemy.

Zhao Feng was greatly excited by the order of Bai Mujun sent back by the scouts, and ordered fifty scouts to go out to reconnoiter and judge the situation on the battlefield on all sides at any time.

As an outpost among the forwards, Zhao Feng knew that the thousand light horsemen under his command were the tip of the knife in this battle, and they could not afford to lose.

Even if you can't make meritorious contributions, you can't be surrounded or annihilated by enemy troops, otherwise your morale will be greatly damaged.

However, Zhao Feng and these fierce generals have long since taken the Qing army into account, although they have to make necessary preparations, but they also think that the Qing army does not have the courage to go out of the city to fight.

However, Zhao Feng hoped in his heart that the Qing army would be able to go out of the city to fight, so that he could make a good start for this expedition.

At this moment, the horse's hooves in front of him suddenly sounded, the smoke and dust were billowing, and a wave of scouts galloped wildly, and when they came to Zhao Feng, they shouted loudly before they got off their horses: "General, the Qing army team rushed out of the city and came in the direction of our army." ”

Zhao Feng was not in a hurry to ask, and saw another wave of smoke and dust billowing in front of him, obviously another wave of scouts came to pay respects.

"General, about 3,000 men and horses of the Qing army are coming here."

After a short time, the third wave of scouts came and shouted: "General, the Qing army of 3,000 men and horses has about 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, and it is less than five miles away from here. ”

Zhao Feng was very excited in his heart, and shouted that it was good, and immediately sent a scout to tell Bai Mu, the main general of the forward, that he ordered a thousand outpost light cavalry to prepare for the assault.

In Zhao Feng's opinion, this thousand light cavalry is enough to cut through the formation of 3,000 people of the Qing army.

However, his ambition was even greater, not only to defeat the 3,000 Qing army, but to leave all these Qing troops outside the city, so that they had nowhere to escape.

So Zhao Feng ordered the adjutant general: "You take five hundred cavalry to detour back to the enemy from the flank and block the enemy's retreat." I'll take the remaining five hundred men and horses to the bottom, and don't let the Tartars escape. ”

The adjutant general shouted the order, waved his hand, and then the team divided into five hundred light horsemen, followed the adjutant general to the northeast diagonally, preparing to return to the Qing army.

According to common sense, a thousand versus three thousand is a very dangerous thing. Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng dared to divide his troops again, and each used 500 troops to encircle 3,000 people before and after, which was simply a joke and a lifeless behavior.

But in the eyes of all the people in the Jiang family, this kind of thing is simply ordinary and nothing.

Even the lieutenant general felt that it was a bit too much to go with five hundred people.

At this time, the three thousand Qing soldiers led by Bayan were already less than three miles away from Zhao Feng's five hundred men and horses, and the two sides would meet in the blink of an eye, and the outbreak of the battle was almost in a moment.
