Chapter 133: War is coming

The time for the return of the DPRK fleet was already mid-to-late November, the weather was getting colder, and the sea surface was already covered with dense ice floes, the thickest ice layer had reached more than 20 centimeters, and the sea surface might freeze in a few days.

In view of this situation, Yang Wenli ordered the slave soldiers to summon several officers of the general banner and several chief officers of the logistics department to hold a very important pre-war decision-making meeting.

The officers under the "Grand Commander" hall bowed and saluted Yang Wenli collectively, and Yang Wenli waved his hand and said: "Everyone please take a seat, this time I called everyone here because the weather is cold, there is already a lot of ice floe on the sea, and in a few days, the strait will be frozen, and when the time comes, Jiannu will definitely go to Changsheng Island to inspect."

This means that our Black Armor Army will have a brutal and fierce battle in a few days......"

"Great Commander, don't worry, we will slaughter as many Jiannu as he comes, and we will make sure that he will never return." Before Yang Wenli finished speaking, Yang Renxuan below shouted loudly.

"It's a good thing that you have confidence, but the art of war is cloudy, in all battles, when we don't think about victory before we think about defeat, we must fully consider the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us, try to give full play to our advantages, and minimize our mistakes.

Our advantage is that Jiannu knows nothing about us, and will treat us as officers and soldiers, and they may underestimate the enemy because of this, so we just want to take advantage of this advantageous condition to try to maximize the heavy damage to Jiannu, and even completely annihilate Jiannu, for example, we can preset an ambush, send a small number of soldiers to pretend to be panicked and escape, bring Jiannu into a preset ambush circle, and then completely annihilate Jiannu.

Our disadvantage is that if we are in windy weather, our bows and arrows are basically useless, if the two armies fight, the other side is cavalry, and we are infantry, this will be a great loss, so we must find a way to preset obstacles such as mixing horses and horses, so that the Jiannu cavalry will lose the advantage of charging and forcing the Jiannu to fight on foot with our army.

If Jiannu is a large group of men and horses, and a group charge is used, our army should use ballistas to adopt a regional strike strategy to destroy Jiannu's charging formation, and whoever leads the charge first will hit whoever first, and never give the Jiannu cavalry a chance to attack.

If it is windless or breezy weather, our army should try to shoot people and not horses, of course, everything must be based on the premise of protecting itself, if Jiannu has rushed to the front, then we should shoot horses first.

If Jiannu only has a small number of men, we should let them go to the island and let them enter the siege before they are completely annihilated.

Which situation and how to deal with it is what we should think about in advance, and this is the significance of my convening of this operational meeting.

In addition, I will say one more thing, we came to Liaodong to form cavalry, and I hope that all of our black-armored soldiers have horses, which requires us to grab them from Jiannu.

This battle is based on Yang Rentian's general banner and Yang Renyue's general banner, and the logistics department will support them according to the situation, remember, this battle is only allowed to win and not to lose, we must play the prestige of our black armor army, you work hard! I am here waiting for your good news. ”

After Yang Wenli finished speaking, all the officers under him stood up together, stood in two rows on the left and right, and responded loudly with a military salute.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the strait was frozen as promised, and the Jiannu of the South and North Flood Mouths began to carefully test the firmness of the ice surface on the sea.

Every year during the ice period, Jiannu would always send troops to Changsheng Island to investigate, the main purpose was to capture the fugitive slave Aha, this island was too close to the mainland, there was no Ming army, so Jiannu did not realize the danger at all.

The winter in Liaodong is the natural enemy of the southerners, Yang Wenli has already made full preparations for this, not only each soldier is equipped with thick cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton gloves, fur shoes, earmuffs, masks and other cold items, but also each soldier is equipped with a white cloak, the soldiers standing guard on the front line hide in the snow, and the snow is integrated, and is not detected by Jiannu at all.

Yang Rentian and Yang Renyue's general banners were stationed at the South and North Flood Ports respectively yesterday, and the soldiers of the logistics department were responsible for keeping guard posts in the middle of the two strait mouths.

It's a pity that the sea breeze is very strong, the bow and arrow basically lose its effect, and the ballista can't hit accurately, so it is only used when the Jiannu group is charging, so it can only fight with the Jiannu to get meat.

To tell the truth, with the long-term war with Jiannu Roubo, since Yang Wenli and below, no one has a bottom, after all, the shadow of the famous tree, Jiannu's great military exploits are not blown out, but really played.

What Yang Wenli and the main officers of the Black Armor Army didn't know was that the main force of Jiannu was no longer in Laowo, but had gone on an expedition to Monan, with Huang Taiji as the main commander, and the elite of the Eight Banners was almost dispatched, after all, Lin Dan Khan's 400,000 iron horsemen were not vegetarians, and Jiannu had gambled on the national fortune.

Throughout Huang Taiji's life, he knows that he is a very strategic person, he dares to take risks, and the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is that he gambled again and again, and gradually became stronger, of course, this must be added to his little luck and the strength of the Golden Eight Banners after the establishment of slaves.

Huang Taiji gambled on the Ming Dynasty's Guanning Army this time, and did not dare to invade his territory, and he was indeed right in history, the Ming Army was busy building forts in various parts of the Great and Small Ling River, and wanted to restore the previous defense line.

But this time there was a little accident, the Black Armor Army, an army that should not have appeared, was lurking on the border of Jin, Fu, and Gai: Changsheng Island.

Jin covers the three states, which used to be the actual control area of Jiannu, there are a large number of Houjin Tartars and Liaodong Han people in the cantonment, but in an uprising premeditated by Liu Xingzuo in the third year of the Apocalypse, because the traitor Gaizhou Beiyu Wang Bing informed, the uprising failed, and the Houjin Liu Xingzuo, Li Yongfang, and Tong Yangxing several traitors were implicated, and Nurhachi was angry, and all the Sanwei Han people in the four guards of southern Liaoning were moved inward, leaving only more than 1,000 Jurchens to be reclaimed, which is why Changsheng Island is so close to the mainland, but there are only more than 100 fugitive slaves.

The situation is obvious, Jiannu does not have any army in the four guards in southern Liaoning, but unfortunately Yang Wenli and the soldiers of the Black Armor Army do not know all this.

And the most important point, the garrison of Jinfu Erzhou bordering Jiannu and Changsheng Island is Liu Xingzuo, this person has rebelled several times, all because the matter is not secret, or there are traitors to inform and failed, but because he has made great contributions to Jiannu, and did not catch the conclusive evidence of his rebellion, he flatly denied it, thus escaping his life, but he was also demoted from the general to the general, and after Huang Taiji came to power, he was demoted from the general to the garrison, that is to say, at this time, the leader of Jiannu who confronted the Black Armor Army turned out to be a person who was bent on rebellion.

In the spring of this year, he had sent someone to contact Mao Wenlong on Phi Dao because of his participation in the negotiations between Hou Jin and North Korea, and later he sent Jia Ding to Phi Dao twice to contact him about betraying Jin and restoring his sight, but unfortunately Mao Wenlong did not have a clear response, which shows that Liu Xingzuo was determined to betray Jin at this time.

And Yang Wenli didn't know all this, so he didn't tell Yang Rentian and Yang Renyue, who were in charge of the front-line war.
