After the consternation, Jiang Chuan began to seriously think about the suggestions of Shanjia and Di Qing.

The rear coach makes decisions, and the opinions of the forwards and first-line generals have a very important reference significance.

Three consecutive battles have proved that the Dashun army is actually a scumbag, and it can still rely on the number of people to blempty against the Ming army.

However, for a real professional army, an elite army, and a war machine like the Shangjiang Family Army, it is naturally exposed and vulnerable.

Based on this situation, Jiang Chuan began to reflect on whether his previous plan was too cautious.

Looking at the current situation, with the combat effectiveness of the Dashun army, it is really better to directly assemble the army and push it over, there is no difficulty at all.

If you can push it flat, then you don't need to do any kind of sneak attack on the waterway, and you can't use it at all.

After Jiang Chuan pondered for a while, he felt that flat push was very feasible, so he called Bai Shan and Hu Zongxian to discuss together.

The result of the discussion was that both of them agreed to push all the way through.

War, since there is a simple way, why make it so complicated.

Complex tactics are prepared for powerful enemies, and since they are the scum of battle, they can be crushed all the way, and there is no need to talk about any tactics at all.

After everyone agreed, Jiang Chuan also made a decisive decision:

Ordered Shanjia and Di Qing to temporarily stop advancing, make a defensive posture, avoid a decisive battle with Li Zicheng's main force, and wait for the main force to arrive before a decisive battle with Li Zicheng.

After the order was issued, Jiang Chuan ordered Hu Zongxian to lead 10,000 horses to defend Shanhaiguan, and he decided to personally lead the Chinese army and the right army of Baishan to go out together.

At the same time, he sent people to Li Yongnian and Mu Zuo in Datong, asking them to quickly organize people to transport grain, grass and baggage into the customs.

One order after another was quickly executed, and the army to be sent out was nearly 100,000, but it was extremely efficient, and it only took half a day to complete the preparations before departure.

The 30,000 right army of Baishan took the lead and marched fifty miles in advance. Jiang Chuan personally led 40,000 Chinese troops, as well as the engineering battalion and the baggage battalion behind.

After a day and a half of marching, the army joined up with the front army of Shanjia, Di Qing's left army.

The army of more than 100,000 people still set up camps according to each army, the front army is in front, the left army is on the left, and the right army is on the right, protecting the middle army of Jiangchuan in the middle, and the rear camp is the engineering battalion and the baggage battalion.

The five camps depend on each other, each other is the trend of horns, distributed in the field outside Tianjin Wei, the mighty and mighty, the flag covers the sun, and the camp is endless.

After the army set up camp, Jiang Chuan couldn't take a break, so he summoned the generals to discuss matters in his Chinese army tent.

"Shanjia, Di Qing, the two of you know the enemy's situation best, what is the situation on Li Zicheng's side now?" Jiang Chuan sat behind the handsome case and asked in a deep voice.

"Returning to the lord, Li Zicheng has stopped moving since he lost Gao Yigong and Yuan Zong's two people, and set up camp twenty miles north of Tianjin Wei, and at the same time sent tens of thousands of horses into the Tianjin Acropolis, it seems that he wants to strengthen the defenders of Tianjin Wei and fight each other with the Tianjin Wei defenders."

Di Qing said.

Jiang Chuan nodded and said after a moment of silence: "It seems that you really hurt Li Zicheng this time and made him become cautious." ”

"No matter how cautious you are, you're just a flock of frightened sheep. With our advantage in artillery fire, even the hardest turtle shell can be smashed open. ”

It was Shanjia who spoke, and he wanted to rush up with people directly in one breath, but Jiang Chuan's order made him vigilant, so he was a little depressed for the past two days.

Only these generals who have really come into contact with the Dashun Army know how scummy the combat effectiveness of the Dashun Army is.

Jiang Chuan laughed, Shanjia's words were not wrong at all. The Manchu Tartars are so powerful, they have all been cleaned up by themselves, their hometowns have been copied, and the emperor and the queen mother are still in their own palaces.

So how this battle will be fought is actually not much to discuss.

"In that case, let's smash Li Zicheng's turtle shell open and turn him into a dead turtle. The Lord will hear it! ”

Jiang Chuan suddenly said in a condensed voice.

Everyone looked stunned, and Huo Ran got up and looked at Jiang Chuan.

"Di Qing, this marshal orders you to lead the left army tomorrow to monitor the Tianjin guards, and if the enemy does not come out, he will not move. If the enemy dares to go out of the city to help, he will fight me back. ”

"Di Qing takes the order!" Di Qing clenched his fists and took his life.

"Shanjia, Baishan, the two of you will lead the main force to attack Li Zi in the village tomorrow with Ben Shuai. In addition to Di Qing's left army, all the artillery of the whole army was concentrated and commanded by Li Han, the captain of the Shenji battalion. At the same time, all the musketeers and grenadiers of the armies were also assembled to form the first assault echelon on standby. Bai Mu sat in the Chinese army with Ben Shuai. ”

"The last general will be ordered!" Bai Shan, Shanjia, and Bai Mu received their orders in unison.

The basic style of play was like this, Di Qing's left army monitored and pinned down the defenders of Tianjin Wei, and then the others attacked Li Zicheng's camp with all their might.

It's very simple and it's also very practical.

Jiang Chuan kept in mind the teachings of a certain great man: when the overall strength of the side is at a disadvantage, then concentrate the forces and form a superiority in the local battlefield.

Although Jiang Chuan's total strength is not as large as Li Zicheng's men, he is learning and using it lively, and is ready to concentrate all his heavy firepower to attack the fortifications.

His ideas were simple and crude. At the very beginning, he used the most fierce artillery fire and offensive to defeat Li Zicheng and crush the morale of the Dashun army.

As long as the Dashun army collapses, all that remains is to capture prisoners and clean up the battlefield.

Fighting a war is sometimes complicated, and sometimes it's simple. When it's simple, it's because it's in a position to crush the opponent in terms of strength.

And complicated, it is naturally because the strength cannot be tough with the other party, so all kinds of strategies are needed.

It is said that even if the Jiang Jiajun does not have a cannon to cheer up, with hundreds of thousands of tiger ben and Li Zicheng facing each other, they will teach Li Zicheng how to be a man in minutes.

In this case, casualties are inevitable. Even if the combat effectiveness of the Dashun army is scum, there are some elites among them. If you are so tough, even if you win, there will be a lot of casualties.

Now that there is such a weapon of destruction as artillery, why bother to use human lives to consume Li Zicheng? Li Zicheng's soldiers were worthless, but Jiang Chuan's own soldiers were very valuable.

So since there is the simplest and most effective way, Jiang Chuan will naturally choose to use this.

Think about it, the Chinese army in Jiangchuan had a hundred field guns. The front army and the right army also had fifty field guns each, adding up to a total of two hundred field guns. This is not counting the fifty field guns in Di Qing's left army.

All the musketeers of the whole army together also had six thousand, and the grenadiers added up to five thousand.

Such a number of firearms troops may not be anything for a war in the era of hot weapons, but for an enemy like the Dashun Army, where cold weapons account for an absolute number, it is simply a nightmare.

And tomorrow is the beginning of their nightmare.
