At midnight on October 12, this was the time set by Gao Yingxiang for the attack.

Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying entered Xianyang on October 9, and they could be regarded as having just taken office, and at this time, they must still be busy setting up camp and familiarizing themselves with the situation, and I am afraid that no one would have thought that the Liukou would attack at such a time.

Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou are the most nervous, and a series of arrangements have been implemented, and now it depends on the effect.

Only the officers above the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard are qualified to know the core matters of the Dao, and the requirements of Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou are very clear, and they are not allowed to leak the news, and the original officials of Shaanxi Province, that is, the leaders of the three divisions, know about it, so it can be said that in the entire Shaanxi Province, there are very few people who know about the matter of the Dao.

The matter of the Jiangning battalion's deployment of troops and generals began a long time ago, and everything was carried out in secret.

Martial law was placed on all sides of the barracks, and no one was allowed to approach it.

When the troops were transferred, Su Tiancheng still went directly to the barracks, after all, he was the commander of the Jiangning battalion, the highest commander, and at such a time, he had to show his face, which was also a support for Hong Chengchou to command this operation.

Hong Chengchou was once attacked by the Liukou, and because of that sneak attack, he was almost punished by the imperial court, since then, the person who presided over the extermination of the Liukou is Sun Chengzong, which is also where Hong Chengchou is very breathless, it can be said that Hong Chengchou hopes to fight this battle the most, and if he can capture Gao Yingxiang alive, the knot in Hong Chengchou's heart can be untied.

This is also the reason why Su Tiancheng asked Hong Chengchou to take full responsibility.

The officers above the commander of the guard of the Jiangning battalion all went to the Chinese military tent.

After everyone came in, they found that Hong Chengchou was sitting in the middle and Su Tiancheng was sitting next to him, which also showed that the commander of this battle. It's Hong Chengchou.

All the officers and generals above the commander of the guard in the Jiangning battalion have arrived, and it can be said that they are all in one place.

All commanded Tongzhi Sun Chuanting and Bi Maokang, all commanded Xiong Zijian, Liu Shiliang, commander of the Xiaocai Battalion, Ma Huabiao, commander of the Jianrui Battalion, Luo Chang, commander of the forward battalion, Qin Rui, commander of the first battalion of the infantry battalion, He Renlong, commander of the second battalion of the infantry battalion, Di Huaixiang, commander of the Shenji battalion, and Sun Yuankun, commander of the pro-soldier battalion.

Bi Maokang still served as the commander of the artillery battalion. Xiong Zijian also serves as the commander of the law enforcement battalion.

The commander of the scout battalion guard made Liu Tiehan on a mission and could not attend the meeting for the time being.

In addition, Su Pingyang, Su Jun and others participated in this meeting.

Hong Chengchou didn't be verbose, he directly arranged the task, he pointed to the sand table, and began to arrange them one by one, everyone's eyes were on the sand table, the 50,000 people led by Gao Yingxiang and Li Wanqing. and the 50,000 people led by Li Yichuan and Liu Guineng, the position on the sand table is very clearly marked.

"The Jiangning battalion was divided into two armies to fight this time, Liu Shiliang, Ma Huabiao, Luo Chang, He Renlong, and Liu Tiehan led their subordinate sergeants, responsible for exterminating the 50,000 liukou belonging to Gao Yingxiang and Li Wanqing, and the rest of the 50,000 sergeants who were responsible for guarding Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng surrendered. The main task of the Jiangning battalion this time was to capture Gao Yingxiang alive. ”……

The operational arrangement lasted half an hour. Hong Chengchou said in great detail, he was the commander-in-chief, Sun Chuanting and Bi Maokang specifically commanded the battle ahead, Sun Chuanting was responsible for exterminating Gao Yingxiang's subordinates, and Bi Maokang was responsible for the surrendered rogues.

During the meeting, Qu Qingze hurriedly walked in. When he arrived at Su Tiancheng's side, he handed Su Tiancheng a letter.

Everyone noticed this action, including Hong Chengchou, who arranged specific combat missions, and also looked at Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng quickly opened the letter and looked at it carefully.

Slowly. Su Tiancheng's face changed, a sneer appeared on his face, and he handed the letter he had read directly to Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou quickly read the letter, and the expression on his face also changed.

"My lord, I didn't expect Gao Yingxiang to be so cunning, and he was ready to lose Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng."

"The three holes of the cunning rabbit, this is nothing unusual, Gao Yingxiang's abacus is too fine, but he never imagined that Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng have already returned to the imperial court, and he has no chance to escape."

After saying these words, Su Tiancheng stood up and walked to the front of the sand table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Gao Yingxiang chose the place to garrison, extending in all directions, there are official roads, there are also mountain roads, the scout battalion has reconnoitred the terrain of this generation, there are a total of four roads, one of which is a mountain road, there is no need to consider, it is not conducive to the action of the large army, unless it is a defeat and escape, the other three roads, everyone knows the road, just now, we received the news, Gao Yingxiang has been deploying his sergeants, stationed in these three truths, Gao Yingxiang's order to the officers below, has also changed, is to require officers at all levels to be ready to retreat, Hmph, the war is coming, what is the purpose of his making such an arrangement, it is self-evident. ”

"Once Gao Yingxiang's army finds out that the situation is wrong, it will be randomly divided into three ways to escape, when the time comes, which army Gao Yingxiang follows, it is impossible for us to know the detailed situation of Lu Dao, Gao Yingxiang is also reminding us that he will not fight against the Jiangning camp with real swords and guns, and he will flee if the wind is wrong."

"Lord Hong, in my opinion, this arrangement must be changed, the most important task of the Jiangning battalion is to capture Gao Yingxiang alive, as for the vitality of exterminating the Liukou, I think it can be placed in second place."

Hong Chengchou nodded.

"I also thought about it, in this way, we must play the role of the artillery battalion, first of all, to give the biggest blow to the rogues, disturb their military morale, since Gao Yingxiang has made such an arrangement, in fact, it has already hit the morale of the army, the situation has changed, and our deployment must also change."

After a little groaning, Hong Chengchou spoke again.

"The artillery battalion participated in the attack on Gao Yingxiang's troops, Sun Chuanting was responsible for specifically commanding the Xiaocai battalion, Jianrui battalion, forward battalion and infantry battalion to launch an attack, Bi Maokang was responsible for commanding the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion was responsible for shelling Gao Yingxiang's troops, Xiong Zijian was responsible for commanding 10,000 soldiers and took over the 50,000 surrendered sergeants of Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng." ……

After Hong Chengchou finished arranging, Su Tiancheng never spoke.

Hong Chengchou's arrangement is still based on eliminating the vitality of the rogue, and he did not deliberately capture Gao Yingxiang, but Su Tiancheng's idea is different, this time he can let go of some rogues, but he must capture Gao Yingxiang alive, and he can't let Gao Yingxiang escape, if Gao Yingxiang escapes, this battle can't be regarded as a victory.

"Do you have other considerations?"

Facing everyone, Su Tiancheng slowly spoke.

"Lord Hong's arrangement, I think it is feasible, there is no problem, but I add that the scout battalion led by Liu Tiehan is all dispatched, including the pro-soldier battalion led by Sun Yuankun, a total of 5,000 people, these 5,000 people do not need to participate in specific battles, your task is to capture Gao Yingxiang alive, you don't indulge in killing the enemy, keep in mind your own mission."

"Xiong Zijian, you are responsible for taking over the 50,000 rogues who surrendered, and after contacting Liu Tiehan, order him to immediately lead the soldiers of the scout battalion to rush to the battlefield, Sun Chuanting and Bi Maokang, who are in charge of specific command, you must keep an eye on Gao Yingxiang at all times and grasp Gao Yingxiang's whereabouts."

The 5,000 people of the Jiangning battalion captured Gao Yingxiang, which can be said to be the highest standard arrangement, and the combat ability of the scout battalion and the pro-soldier battalion is clear to everyone, among them, everyone's understanding of the rogue, that is, generalization, at least did not regard the rogues as the most powerful opponent, and they despised the rogues psychologically.

Although everyone didn't speak, they didn't show much on their faces.

Su Tiancheng understood everyone's thoughts.

"Brothers, I have long said that we can despise the Liukou strategically, but we must pay attention to the Liukou in terms of tactics, and the lion fights the rabbit with all our strength, we must not take it lightly, and we must not let Gao Yingxiang escape, the reason why the Liukou has been able to persist until now, and to be able to make a comeback after encountering setbacks, in fact, it is the leaders and leaders among them who have played the most critical role, so under the premise, we are to capture the thief and capture the king."

"Gao Yingxiang has always been one of the most important leaders of the Liukou, he has rebelled for so many years, although the Liukou under his command does not necessarily have tenacious combat effectiveness, he calls himself the king, and now he is leading 300,000 Liukou, this force is very huge, and it cannot be wiped out overnight."

"The more opportunities appear in front of us, the more we need to be cautious, one wrong step, one wrong step, the opportunity is coming, we must capture Ao Youxiang alive, Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng and others, are all from Yan'an Prefecture, they are familiar with the situation in Shaanxi, but we are not necessarily familiar with it, just came here, and is still in the stage of familiarizing ourselves with the situation, so I suggest that An exclude the waiting camp and the pro-military camp, and be responsible for capturing Gao Yingxiang, also for insurance."

After explaining, Su Tiancheng looked at Hong Chengchou.

"Lord Hong, this battle is under your command, and I am just making a suggestion. The order for the battle is still given by you, and the specific arrangement of troops is also based on your opinion. ”

Now that the tasks are all arranged, the next step is action.

Hong Chengchou wanted to follow the army, and Su Tiancheng wanted to return to the governor's yamen.

"Lord Hong, I am in the Governor's Yamen, waiting for the good news from you and the Jiangning Battalion."

"Don't worry, this time, you must capture Gao Yingxiang alive."

50,000 soldiers stood neatly in the barracks, with Hong Chengchou issuing the order to set off, everyone began to act, because of the need for secrecy, so the artillery battalion also set off with the large army, and because of the change of combat orders, the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion have become the main force of the attack, so this time the operation is not easy.

Su Tiancheng silently watched the departure of many soldiers, he believed that he had seized this opportunity, once the Jiangning battalion won the battle and captured Gao Yingxiang, he would have to make many adjustments. (To be continued......)
