At the beginning of March of the 14th year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty officially issued an order to apply for Huang Taiji on the grounds that the tribute offered by Jiannu was insufficient. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In mid-March, three soldiers in the Iron Horse Fort on the eastern border of Liaodong were killed, and a Tartar corpse was left behind, which was just a small matter, but who knew that it directly became the fuse for the Ming Dynasty to attack Jiannu.

Lu Xiangsheng, who had returned to Liaodong, immediately sent someone to question Jiannu when he learned of this incident, but Jiannu sent a strong force of the Eight Banners of Yigushan to directly attack the Iron Horse Fort at the front of Guangning City in the Ming Dynasty.

However, at this time, the various armies of the Praetorian Guard had already gathered in the area of Guangning City, and when the Eight Banners of the Solid Mountain appeared, Jiao Lian, the general of the Third Brigade of the Second Cavalry of the Janissary Army, was ordered by Lu Xiangsheng to immediately rush to the Iron Horse Fort to directly harden the Eight Banners of the Solid Mountain from the front.

At this time, Jiannu still adopted the military and civilian system of both soldiers and civilians in the Nurhachi period, that is, three hundred dings were used as a bull record, five cattle were recorded as a Jiala, and five Jiala were used as a solid mountain.

Now it is just a small iron horse fort at the forefront of Guangning City, Jiannu directly dispatched a Gushan Eight Banners elite, I have to admit that this specification is a bit high, in the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that this Jiannu is determined to win Guangning City.

Most of the Liaodong officers and soldiers stationed in the defense line around Guangning City couldn't help but gasp, many of them were border soldiers who had followed Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and others to defend Liaodong for many years, but they had never seen Jiannu dispatch so many armor soldiers at one time.

Many people began to worry about the Third Cavalry Brigade of the Praetorian Guard, and even Man Gui proposed whether to transfer his cavalry to fight against this powerful Eight Banners Brigade.

But Lu Xiangsheng did not agree to Man Gui's proposal, and Lu Xiangsheng, as the commander, did not worry about whether Jiao Lian, the general of the Third Brigade, could defeat the Eight Banners Brigade with more than 7,000 soldiers in front of him and nearly 20,000 auxiliary soldiers.

He is now struggling with what this Jiannu Huang Taiji is going to do, and he actually sent such an elite army of his own directly to attack a small iron horse fort, what is his purpose?

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't figure it out for the time being, just as he had discussed with His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao and Yang Sichang, the left attendant of the Military Department, when he was facing the saint, they originally thought that Huang Taiji would fight a sports war with the Ming Dynasty in the area of Shengjing City or Hetuara City.

But unexpectedly, this Emperor Taiji would actually take the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty, and directly sent a strong force of the Eight Banners of the Mountain.

"Why did Huang Taiji suddenly abandon Shengjing and Hetuala, and suddenly attack the Iron Horse Fort in Guangning City, Guangning City is very important to Jiannu, if once Guangning City is lost, then Jiannu can go straight to Monan, or go south to the Daling River to force Shanhaiguan, but Shanhaiguan is a place where my Ming heavy troops guard, Huang Taiji wants to take an initiative to attack, then he can only go to Monan, but to go to Monan does not have to occupy Guangning City, especially for cavalry, they can go to Dushikou."

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng thought of this, he suddenly realized some kind of bad result in his mind, and slammed the table: "It's not good!" ”

Frightened, the senior generals of the Praetorian Guard, such as Ao Bai and Fu Dahai, who were beside him, couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly said that Inspector Lu was still calm at the beginning, why did he suddenly frown and act so violently.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't have time to give a specific explanation to Chang Yanling and Ao Bai, so he turned around and ordered them directly:

"The main force of the Jiannu Eight Banners is likely to be ready to attack my Monan through the Dushikou, and the cavalry of the Aobai Command immediately rushed to Harrier Ridge to block the main force of Jiannu from the Dushikou here, and at the same time Pegasus chased to Dandong and stopped the first army of Chang Yanling and the fourth army of Lu Xiangyu, the place of this decisive battle is not Hetuala, but Monan Xilin Gol Mansion!"

Lu Xiangsheng had to admit that his Majesty was right, this Huang Taiji who built a slave is really not a simple person, he is indeed a very cunning person.

Even he couldn't help but sigh secretly now, no wonder this Emperor Taiji was able to retreat when he exterminated the Horqin and Khalkha tribes and the Wu family father and son in the Ming Dynasty, and now he almost deceived himself.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a long heart, he deliberately speculated on his intentions when he learned that he had sent a solid mountain force to attack his Iron Horse Fort, and realized that his purpose was likely to stage a trick for himself to cultivate the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, he really wouldn't have thought that this Huang Taiji would decisively give up fighting with Shengjing City and Hetuara City as important defense points and jumped out directly, and even wanted to fight in his own Ming Dynasty, and even wanted to sneak attack the Guannei.

Fortunately, it is still too late, on his side, the second and third armies of the Praetorian Guard have not yet entered the hinterland of Jiannu, so they can still react quickly and rush directly to Monan to block, as long as the main force of the Eight Banners of Jiannu is blocked in Monan, there is no need to worry that these Eight Banners will attack other border towns in the Ming Dynasty and even sneak into the pass to cause greater damage.

It's just that now, the only thing that makes Lu Xiangsheng a little regretful is that the first and fourth armies of the Praetorian Guard have been shipped to Korea, but I am afraid that they are now about to march towards Hetuala, at that time, if they really let them capture Hetuala, I am afraid that it will only be a bamboo basket to draw water, and the Hetuara City obtained is only an empty city, and it cannot effectively annihilate the living force of Jiannu.

And now, all Lu Xiangsheng can do is to take advantage of the speed and flexibility of the Second Army of the Praetorian Guards Cavalry to quickly rush to Harrier Ridge to intercept the Jiannu Eight Banners that may come from the direction of Dushikou.

At the same time, the Third Army of the Artillery Janissaries also immediately rushed to Harrier Ridge, and when the Second Army intercepted the enemy, it used the artillery superiority of the artillery to further pin down the main force of Jiannu.

However, even so, with the flexibility of the Jiannu Eight Banners, I am afraid that it will be difficult to rely on these two Praetorian Guards to gather and annihilate Jiannu here, after all, they do not have an advantage in terms of numbers, and they cannot fight a great encirclement and annihilation war.

Lu Xiangsheng could only hope that his fast horse could contact the First Army and the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guards as soon as possible, and hoped that they could return to the area of Harrier Ridge and Dushikou in Monan as soon as possible.

In Lu Xiangsheng's view, there is no problem in containing the main force of Jiannu with the Second Army and the Third Army of the Praetorian Guard.

As long as the First and Fourth Armies of the Praetorian Guards arrived before Huang Taiji gave up breaking through the defensive lines of the Second Army and the Third Army, and realized that he was likely to be surrounded, he could directly annihilate all the main forces of Jiannu in the area of Harrier Ridge, and it would be easy to recover Shengjing City and Hetuara and other places at that time.

Lu Xiangsheng is worthy of being an outstanding commander, he can quickly make tactical changes according to the battlefield reaction, and can quickly create a new way to annihilate the enemy, of course, the strategy of fighting Shengjing and fighting Hetuala discussed with His Majesty Zhu Youxiao before has been decisively abandoned by him, because Huang Taiji is no longer willing to play like this, if he is rigidly according to his will, it will only become difficult to fight this easy battle, not to mention that there will be a general who will not be affected by the order of the monarch outside.

Not only that, Lu Xiangsheng also had people convey an order to Jiao Lian, the third brigade of the second army of the Praetorian Guard, who was responsible for blocking the Eight Banners of Gushan Mountain, one of the strong brigades of the Iron Horse Fort, and ordered him to fight to the death in the Iron Horse Fort and not retreat, paralyzing the Jiannu, making him mistakenly believe that his main force was still defending Guangning City and mistakenly believing that the Eight Banners of his Iron Horse Fort was the main force of his Jiannu and was looking for an opportunity to defeat it.
