Getting off the small wooden boat and walking on the soft sand, Su Tiancheng had a very strange feeling, a few years later, Sumeru Island belongs to North Korea, at the mouth of the Yalu River, and it is also the largest island in North Korea, with an area of more than 50 square kilometers, but now Sumeru Island belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and in Su Tiancheng's heart, it will also be the permanent territory of the Ming Dynasty.

There are not many residents on Sumeru Island, and after Houjin occupied here, because of the brutal suppression, and the environment on Sumeru Island is not very good, it is impossible to live well, so many of the original residents were forced to move out, which also allowed the army to arrive on Sumeru Island smoothly, and to achieve maximum secrecy.

Sumeru Island is not the final ambush location of the army, Daishan's army will pass through the direction of Sumeru Island, and will not come to Sumeru Island, the location of the ambush of the army is more than 20 miles north of Sumeru Island, at this time, Liu Tiehan has led the scouts to finally determine the location of the ambush, and the army will not come to Sumeru Island, so as not to delay the time for the warship formation to advance.

Hong Chengchou, who accompanied Su Tiancheng to Sumeru Island, was a little strange, I don't know why Su Tiancheng came to this little-known island, it is said that at this time, the main task of the army is to rush to the ambush place.

Su Tiancheng looked at the warship formation parked in the distance and slowly spoke.

"Lord Hong, remember the battle of Ding Mao."

"I remember that in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Amin and Zilharang led the Houjin Tartars, broke through the Iron Mountain, and then attacked Sumeru Island, and Mao Wenlong, who was stationed on Phi Island, led the army to meet the Houjin Tartars on Sumeru Island, and won three battles and three victories."

"Yes, now history can be said to repeat itself, but the direction has been reversed, and we set off from Dengzhou. After taking Lushun, Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, it was the turn of the Houjin Tartars to be anxious, and there was a problem in their rear, so they wanted to protect these places, and they wanted to completely exterminate us, when the Apocalypse was seven years old. Amin and Zilharang came here to conquer, more than ten years have passed, things are not people, Zilharang came here again, and fought with us, don't they understand that this is the tomb of their Houjin Tartar. ”

Hong Chengchou nodded, he vaguely understood why Su Tian would come to Sumeru Island to take a look. Maybe it's to validate a certain feeling, or to find some kind of confidence here.

"Lord Hong, you have been in Liaodong for several years, especially this time after experiencing the fiasco of Liaodong, it can be said that you hate the Houjin Tartars to the core, I often say that in terms of strategy, we must despise the Houjin Tartars. But tactically, we must attach great importance to the post-gold tartars. To put it mildly, in the next few years, the Houjin Tartars will be our main opponents, they have their own advantages, and they have been fighting in a harsh environment for a long time, so that the Houjin Tartars have extraordinary bravery. They grew from weak to strong, step by step, and in the process, they cultivated a lot of outstanding generals, such as Huang Taiji, Daishan, Dolgon, Duoduo, Hauge, Azig, and Zilharang. On the other hand, our Ming Dynasty, because of the long period of peace, because of the long-term absence of conquest, and because of civil strife, it is difficult to appear truly outstanding generals. ”

Hong Chengchou was a little surprised, and he didn't know why Su Tian would say that.

"My lord, the lower officials have different opinions, if you want to say that the Houjin Tartars are brave, the lower officials admit this, after all, in Liaodong, the Houjin Tartars have just won a big victory, but if you want to talk about outstanding generals, the lower officials think that whether it is Huang Taiji or others, they cannot be compared with the adults, and the Houjin Tartars will definitely perish in the hands of the adults."

Su Tiancheng shook his head.

"Knowing ourselves and knowing that the other is victorious in a hundred battles, we can't despise the Houjin Tartars, to be honest, Chen Xinjia's deployment in Liaodong, there is not much of a problem, and it is not outrageous, his deployment arrangement, if the border army is strong enough, it is completely feasible, as long as you are fully prepared, it is a pity that Chen Xinjia can not face up to the strength of the Houjin Tartars, and refuses to admit the shortcomings of the border army, which led to a fiasco, in exchange for me to go to Liaodong to command this battle, in terms of deployment, the difference with Chen Xinjia will not be very big, But I have enough self-confidence, when the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion face the Houjin Tartars, they will not show any flaws, and I can also be very confident that the Jiangning battalion can completely defeat the Houjin Tartars. ”

Hong Chengchou's body trembled slightly, when he was in Liaodong, he didn't think like this, but it was a pity that Chen Xinjia rejected the Jiangning battalion and blindly used the border army, causing the Jiangning battalion to lose the best opportunity to strangle the Houjin Tartar.

"Lord Hong, I took you to Sumeru Island to let you remember that after this battle, the Jiangning battalion will become a high-profile army, and among the generals of the Jiangning battalion, there will really be a group of dazzling outstanding generals, including you, will really be concerned by everyone, how to prove the excellence of an army, that is, you need to defeat another army that everyone thinks is strong, only in this way can it be truly awe-inspiring."

"Dai Shan is not simple, when he was young, he emerged, became an important general of Hou Jin, became Nurhachi's right-hand man, when he was in his twenties, he led three thousand Hou Jin Tartars, defeated more than 10,000 Ula army, reflecting extraordinary military talent, Wanli forty-six years, Dai Shan's role played to the peak, Nurhachi published seven hates, swore to crusade against my Ming, because the army set off and encountered heavy rain, Nurhachi was ready to retreat, at a critical moment, Dai Shan stood up, and the force was mainly to overcome all difficulties, Attack Fushun, the result of that battle, I won't say much, the battle of Salhu in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, at that time, Nurhachi was old, and rarely went into battle in person, and it was this Daishan who really commanded the Houjin Tatars to fight, and the battle of Salhu changed the situation between my Daming and the Houjin Tatars, so that the Houjin began to be really strong. ”

"If it weren't for his descendants Shan's involvement in some political struggles, he would have played a more important role, although he encountered a lot of suspicions and twists and turns, but Dai Shan still showed full wisdom, the four major Baylors of the Later Jin, Dai Shan is the leader, and it is also the most promising to inherit the position of the Great Khan, but Dai Shan recommended Huang Taiji, from this point of view, Dai Shan is prescient."

"The entry of the Houjin Tartars several times also has a great relationship with Daishan, it is those times that the Houjin Tartars entered the customs and plundered a lot of wealth and the people of my Ming Dynasty, which made the development of Houjin faster."

"Now, Dai Shan is older, he has retired, and he rarely interferes in the affairs of the royal family, which is quite a bit of a wise taste of self-preservation, which is also where he is smart, according to Dai Shan's prominent identity, if he intervenes in the battle of the royal family, I am afraid that he will have already been degraded."

Hong Chengchou nodded, he is also clear about these things of Daishan, in the analysis of Qu Qingze's situation, he talked about this aspect in detail, mainly introducing all the situations of Daishan, including the unique advantages of Daishan, I don't know what the purpose of Su Tiancheng is talking about these things today.

"Lord Hong, today I am here to talk about Dai Shan, maybe you will feel strange, these situations, many officers know, for what I have to repeat, in fact, these situations, I think about it every day, from which it is inferred that Dai Shan will make what kind of choice he will make in the fight with us."

"I don't know if you have noticed, many battles, Dai Shan is charging at the front line, leading the army in person, even regardless of his own safety, this style of work is very morale-inspiring, although Dai Shan's age, but this tough style will not change, so in the process of fighting, even if he suffers an unfavorable situation, Dai Shan will also charge at the front, with his age, if he does this, how will he inspire the morale of the sergeant."

"The area around Xuanzhou is mountainous, and there are not many flat places, which to a large extent limits the role of artillery, when we attacked Dalinghe City, artillery played a decisive role, but this battle, artillery is unlikely to play a decisive role, and it is still our soldiers who really want to destroy the red flag of Daishan."

"This time to destroy the red flag, you and I, as commanders, must go to the front line in person, when necessary, to go into battle to kill the enemy, we recognize the courage of the Houjin Tartars, but we must highlight our own ability, we must have the confidence to win."

Su Tiancheng said so much, Hong Chengchou always nodded, but when it came to killing the enemy, Hong Chengchou immediately spoke.

"My lord, it is the duty of the lower officials to go into battle to kill the enemy, the adults are the commanders of the whole army, not to command the operations in Xuanzhou, Sun Chuanting stationed in Xuanzhou, and Qu Qingze stationed in Fuzhou must obey the command of the adults, so the adults must not personally get into danger, this matter of commanding the army to kill the enemy, or the lower officials will do it, and the lower officials will definitely lead the soldiers to charge."

Su Tiancheng shook his head, his face was still very serious.

"Lord Hong, you and I have jointly exterminated the Liukou, so many years of fighting, you know my temper, if you want to say the danger of the battle, I am clear, but I believe that God will bless you and me, this time we must strangle the red flag, we must win a complete victory, we must play majestic, from the day of departure from Dengzhou, no, it should be said that from the time of the launch of the Liaodong Campaign, we have sounded the horn of the Golden Tartars after the attack, we can't retreat, we have no way to retreat."

Hong Chengchou looked at Su Tiancheng and stopped talking, he really knew Su Tiancheng's temper, once he made up his mind, he would not make any changes, no matter how big the difficulties and obstacles he encountered, he would have to overcome them.

When leaving Sumeru Island, Hong Chengchou took a closer look at the beach, and he felt that Su Tiancheng's words were an encouragement to him, and also a deployment of the entire battle, and even a summary. (To be continued......)
