Su Tiancheng's overly cautious attitude did not attract the attention of Mo Si and Tong Cha and others, and completely defeated the Chahar tribe, which was an unimaginable victory for them, and now in the face of the Horqin tribe, the sergeants of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe still think that they can easily defeat the Horqin tribe, once the Horqin tribe is completely defeated, the situation of the grassland will undergo major changes, and the next conquest will become much easier, and the moment when the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe dominate the grassland will really come.

The army is facing the central banner of the right wing of Horqin, this is the elite strength of the Horqin tribe, this time Su Tiancheng did not take the way of dividing the troops to fight, I don't know if Lu Dao has some premonitions in the dark, or other considerations, Hong Chengchou and Qin Liangyu did not put forward the opinion of dividing the troops to fight, and acquiesced to the form of unified combat of the army.

The Horqin Right Wing Central Banner has not been vigilant, and has not taken any defensive measures, at least the army has not felt the slightest feeling in the process of marching, which makes Su Tiancheng feel more and more uneasy, there must be demons when things happen, the Horqin tribe will never be so big, if there is such a situation before the extermination of the Chahar tribe, it is possible, but now such a situation is not normal, the relationship between the Horqin tribe and the Houjin Tartar is extraordinary, no matter what kind of angle, Huang Taiji will not sit idly by. On the one hand, there is a reminder from Houjin, and on the other hand, the Chahar tribe has encountered the fate of being exterminated, and in this case, there is no reason for the Horqin tribe not to be vigilant.

The twenty-fifth day of the first month.

The army was only thirty miles away from the garrison of the Central Banner of the right wing of Horqin.

The army was ready and about to attack.

How to carry out the attack, everyone's opinions are not very unanimous, and the way to lead the snake out of the hole is the way that most people agree with, when facing the Chahar tribe. The Great Army was completely victorious. But this time, Su Tiancheng hesitated, mainly because he felt that the form was too weird, and the Houjin Tartars led by Haoge didn't know the traces of the road. There is also no intelligence showing that if the Houjin Tartars and the Horqin tribe unite, the combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced, and in this case, the method of luring the enemy into the battle is likely to cause heavy casualties, and may even lead to the rout of the army.

Su Tiancheng didn't know why he had such thoughts for Lang, it was said that there had never been any special circumstances, and such worries were a little abrupt. The army had already set up a position, and it was impossible not to attack.

The idea of fighting is very clear, although the Horqin tribe is very strong, and with the support of Houjin, it can be regarded as the largest tribe in the grassland, but Su Tiancheng believes that it is still impossible to kill innocents, and it is impossible to attack the old and weak women and children of the Horqin tribe. If the artillery shelling of the station of the central banner of the right wing of Horqin is carried out, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties. Artillery shells do not have long eyes, and in order to complete such operational deployments, the only way to do this is to adopt the methods of lure and ambush operations.

After careful consideration, Su Tiancheng still decided to adopt the combat method of luring the enemy into depth.

The sergeant who was responsible for luring the central banner of the right wing of Horqin was two thousand sergeants of the Xibe and Daurian tribes, led by Mo Si himself. The main task was to lure the sergeants of the Horqin tribe out of the garrison and into the ambush of the army, but this time the task was changed, that is, the sergeant in charge of luring did not need to take on a particularly difficult task. They didn't need to start a fight, they entered the station of the right flank of the central banner, so that the sergeants of the Horqin tribe could retreat when they found that they were attacked, and after retreating for two miles, a large army responded, which was also to avoid causing more heavy casualties.

Although it was said that the arrangement was very sufficient, Su Tiancheng was still worried, and repeatedly reminded Mo Si that once he found that the situation was wrong, he would take the initiative to retreat, and it didn't matter if he couldn't complete the task, don't sacrifice the life of the sergeant in vain.

Mo Si agreed very happily, but the more Mo Si was refreshing, the more worried Su Tiancheng became.

The task has been assigned, and it is impossible to make a change, especially for the steppe tribe, temporarily changing the deployment and asking other sergeants to complete the task of luring the enemy, this is to look down on this tribe.

The time of the attack was originally set at the time of the attack, but after the time came, Su Tiancheng did not give the order to attack.

The scouts had already gone to investigate several times, but they didn't find anything abnormal, the station was quiet, and even Hong Chengchou and Qin Liangyu and others felt strange, they didn't know what to do, and Su Tian had become an order for Lu to delay in launching an attack.

Attacking after dawn would certainly be unfavorable to the vanguard that lured the enemy, with increased casualties and the danger of total annihilation of the vanguard after an attack.

A few minutes later, Su Tiancheng finally gave the order to attack.

Mo Si led the sergeants, and had been waiting for the order to attack for a long time, after Su Tiancheng gave the order, Mo Si did not hesitate, took the lead, and rushed to the station of the central banner of the right wing of Horqin.

At the beginning of the attack, Su Tiancheng stood up and walked around in the Chinese military tent, looking very uneasy, Qin Liangyu was a little strange.

"Is there anything to worry about?"

Su Tiancheng looked at Qin Liangyu and sighed.

"General Qin, I won't tell you, Mo Si seems to be overconfident, but the combat deployment is like this, I can't change it, if you want to say that we attacked the Chahar tribe and won a complete victory, many tribes on the grassland should be vigilant, it is impossible to be indifferent, the Tumut tribe and the Jungar tribe have migrated to avoid encountering blows, can it be said that the Horqin tribe has such great self-confidence, not worried at all, there is no deployment, this is too abnormal."

"Dashuai, this problem, my subordinates have also considered it, Dashuai has thought about it, the 100,000 army has converged, even if all the soldiers of the Horqin tribe face the battle, I'm afraid don't think about a good ending."

Su Tiancheng shook his head.

"It was also because of this idea that I decided to attack according to the original deployment, we conquered on the grassland and achieved a major victory, does it seem a little too confident, after all, the tribes of the grassland still have a certain combat effectiveness, they will not wait for us to exterminate, and they will leave if they can't win, such a simple truth, they won't not understand."

"What the marshal said is, but the previous reconnaissance did not find anything abnormal, and the subordinates thought that in this case, it would not be too much of a problem to attack according to the original deployment, even if the vanguard could not lure the sergeants of the Horqin tribe, the army could still attack."

"General Qin, I'm really a little worried, the army has entered the grassland, and there is almost no valuable information, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, the huge grassland, we are not the master here, it is difficult to get information, in this case, we must be more cautious."

While speaking, in the direction of the central flag of Horqin's right wing, there was a sudden sound of cannons.

Su Tiancheng, who was pacing back and forth, changed his face and became a little pale, which is a rare situation.

Qin Liangyu and Qu Qingze's faces also changed, it is said that it is impossible for the Mongolian tribe to have artillery, the attack has just begun, and the artillery battalion will not attack at such an early time.

Su Tiancheng didn't hesitate anymore and spoke to the herald beside him.

"Hurry up and inform Lord Hong, and order the vanguard to withdraw quickly, no matter what the cost......"

The herald hurriedly went out, and Su Tiancheng looked at Qin Liangyu and Qu Qingze and spoke.

"My prediction is really not wrong, the Houjin Tartars and the Horqin tribe have rendezvous, the Horqin tribe has no artillery, there can be no cannon sound at this time, you remember, Haoge led the Houjin Tartars, attacked the Xibe tribe station, got a lot of artillery, and there was a cannon sound in front, which means that Haoge transported the artillery over, I didn't expect this time, Haoge actually set a trap, waiting for us to get in."

Qu Qingze was not too anxious, after all, the vanguard was only 2,000 people.

"My lord, my subordinates think that even if Haoge is ready, the problem is not very big, since the Houjin Tartars have come to the grassland, then we will fight with them on the grassland, Jiangning Camp has exterminated the Zhenghong Banner, and now that the Zhenglan Banner is here, don't think about being able to leave the grassland easily."

Qu Qingze has such self-confidence, of course, it is a good thing, if you come to it, you will be safe, and if you meet Houjin Tartar here, it is equivalent to fighting a big battle, and the larger the scale of the battle, the more brilliant the results will be.

At this time, Su Tiancheng will not continue to be pedantic.

"Okay, then we will fight a good battle here, pass the order, and order the artillery battalion to launch an artillery bombardment on the garrison of the central banner of the right wing of Horqin, don't save shells, and bomb it fiercely."

A quarter of an hour later, a deafening sound of artillery was heard.

Su Tiancheng's expression became calm, and he returned to his usual calmness, now that the previous speculation has been confirmed, and he knows the whereabouts of the Houjin Tartar, there is not much to worry about, and at this time, the two sides will show their strength.

Soon, several soldiers came over with stretchers, and He Renlong hurriedly followed into the Chinese military tent.

"Report to the marshal, the vanguard suffered an artillery attack and suffered heavy losses, the leader of the Xibe tribe, Mo Si, was seriously wounded, Lord Hong asked for instructions, is it after the early artillery attack, the army launched an attack."

Su Tiancheng looked at Mo Si on the stretcher, his face was covered with blood, unconscious, obviously seriously injured.

"Sui Jun Langzhong must cure Mo Si, you go and tell Lord Hong, the army should not attack for the time being, order the scout battalion, carry out reconnaissance, you must find out where the Houjin Tartar and the Horqin tribe sergeant are, if my prediction is right, the station of the right wing of the central banner is about to become the most important battlefield."
