The improved red-coated cannons, general cannons, and tiger squat cannons developed by Bi Maokang were finally secretly transported to Kuizhou.

The terrain of Sichuan is special, strictly speaking, the role of firearms is not too great, but it is not possible without firearms, especially in large-scale attacks, the role of firearms is very important.

After analyzing Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji's plan, Su Tiancheng also had to make a corresponding plan.

According to his previous considerations, the extermination of the Liukou is a relatively long-lasting process, if the Liukou retreats into the mountains, the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion will definitely not relax, and chase to the end, even if they chase to the ends of the earth, they will not be able to let go of the Liukou, the Liukou has rebelled for more than ten years, causing immeasurable losses to the Ming Dynasty, this situation can definitely not continue, and the internal stability of the Ming Dynasty must be stable.

Now, after analyzing Li Zicheng's plan, Su Tiancheng is also going to gamble.

It is necessary to set up a good situation, so that Li Zicheng thinks that the Jiangning camp has been deceived, this kind of strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain, to put it bluntly, is to attract all the troops out of the army, and then go straight to Huanglong, and decide the situation in one fell swoop.

At this time, the role of artillery is very huge.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is guarding the county seat of Fengjie, and the Liukou can launch an attack by land and water, directly attacking the capital city, and not hesitating to pay any price, the momentum of this attack is huge, and ordinary people are unimaginable, and the role of artillery is very important to suppress the momentum of this attack.

As long as it can attract the main force of the rogue, the risk and gambling are worth it.

Of course, the most important part of this plan lies in the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

Su Tiancheng didn't want to really let Zhu Cihong take risks, he would personally stay in Fengjie County and personally attract the army of rogues.

The autumn harvest season has arrived, and farmers have begun to harvest their crops. At this time, the local government is also the busiest, and it is necessary to take advantage of the autumn harvest to collect taxes, so that it is more likely to receive taxes.

Jiangning Camp and Liukou did not move.

The two sides are surprisingly aligned. No one bothered the autumn harvest.

Liukou didn't move, Su Tiancheng still admired it a little, it seems that Li Zicheng also knows that Lu Dao protects the interests of the people, if the war starts at the time of the autumn harvest, it is the people who will lose the most.

The autumn harvest lasted for half a month, and it was always sunny.

In late July, the autumn harvest in Sichuan was basically over.

A crucial meeting was held.

Zhu Cihong, Su Tiancheng, Hong Chengchou, Qin Sande, Sun Chuanting, Xiong Zijian, Qu Qingze and others all attended the meeting.

The meeting was held in the barracks of the Jiangning camp.

Everyone understands that the decisive battle is about to begin.

Hong Chengchou first pointed to the map. A detailed analysis was made of the distribution of the Liukou forces and the number of personnel, and in response to this analysis, the deployment of the Jiangning Battalion, the White Pole Soldiers, and the Baoning Guards was proposed, with the officers and men of the Jiangning Battalion responsible for the key attack, the White Pole Soldiers participating in the attack, and the Sergeants of Baoning being responsible for the control of the passes, so as to prevent the large-scale escape of the Liukou.

Hong Chengchou's speech lasted for half an hour.

It should be said. Such an arrangement was something he had already considered. I have also discussed with Su Tiancheng many times.

After Hong Chengchou's report ended, Su Tiancheng motioned for Qu Qingze to speak.

Qu Qingze stood up.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Su, my lords, the current intelligence shows that the Liukou may have a large-scale operation. Recently, the Rogue has completely exposed the position of their main force, so that our side can grasp their deployment, if we make corresponding arrangements according to the distribution of the Rogue forces. Launching an attack, such a battle is very targeted, but the information that is available is not so. ”

Everyone looked surprised, but Su Tiancheng's face was calm.

"Half a month ago, 500 people defected to Liukou, which was originally very common news, but through analysis from all sides, it is shown that these 500 people are the elite sergeants of the Eight Banners of Later Jin Manchuria."

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting stood up in shock, and the rest of the people also turned pale, this information, the shocking force is too great.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Su Tiancheng spoke.

"This information, I have known it for a long time, I made an analysis, and after further investigation, it was basically determined that these five hundred people are the most elite sergeants of the Eight Banners of Houjin Manchuria, and I only said this matter today, there must be a reason, everyone be calm and don't be impatient, listen to Lord Qu."

After Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting sat down, Qu Qingze spoke again.

"The Liukou and the soldiers of my Jiangning battalion have fought many times, and none of them have been able to win, but they have completely exposed their position for nothing, and even took the initiative to provoke, as if they are afraid that our army will not know about their existence, which is obviously contrary to common sense, if our army launches an attack, wouldn't the Liukou be very passive."

"In the past month, the Liukou have secretly recruited ships and conducted a series of trainings, which shows that they have signs of attacking by water, and from the map, Boryeong, Longan and Tongchuan are not likely to attack by water."

"Based on the intelligence analysis of all aspects, the current conclusion is that all the arrangements made by the Liukou are for one purpose, and they want to be unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

There was a deathly silence in the room, and basically all of the people present were experienced in battles, and they already understood what Qu Qingze meant.

After Qu Qingze finished speaking, Su Tiancheng stood up and slowly spoke.

"The situation that Lord Qu said is our most reluctantly analyzed, let's see, if Liukou is besieging Kuizhou, you can use land and waterway, relatively speaking, the waterway is much faster, and it has a lot of concealment, Liukou knows that it is not the opponent of the Jiangning battalion, but they are unwilling to be exterminated, so what can be done, the best way is to target His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suffers damage, all our plans are in vain, we are a complete failure."

"Liukou constantly exposed his position, to put it bluntly, it is to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, the Jiangning battalion soldiers left Kuizhou Mansion, after entering Baoning Mansion, Liukou left a small part of the troops around, and the rest of the main force tried their best to attack Kuizhou City, the battle was dangerous, Liukou naturally thought that His Royal Highness the Prince must be sitting in Kuizhou City, and there will not be many soldiers left in Kuizhou City, not more than 10,000 people, in this case, Liukou concentrated most of his forces, desperately attacked Kuizhou City, according to my estimate, they attacked Kuizhou City, It can even reach 100,000 people. ”

"The rogues are gambling, gambling can capture the capital city of Kuizhou, if this step is not done well, they also know the way, and they can't escape the fate of annihilation, but if they succeed, they can get rid of the crisis and develop rapidly, in turn, the Jiangning battalion will suffer a heavy blow, or even collapse."

"If we were to wait, we would do the same."

"As for the five hundred post-gold tartars, the purpose is the same, the elite in the army, what is the role, take the head of the general among the thousands of troops, this is the elite, the real elite, don't underestimate these five hundred people, as for whether there is any collusion between the liukou and the post-golden tartars, there is no need to worry about this, there is no such possibility."

"I can only say that Huang Taiji and Li Zicheng have the same idea, don't underestimate such a plan, this is a plan that can really defeat the Jiangning camp."

"Since Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji have such an idea, and have made a deployment, we want to use it at home."

"Just now Lord Hong has made the corresponding deployments, these deployments should be implemented, what needs to be changed is that all the soldiers must be prepared to endure hardships, they may march nearly a thousand miles in a day, and they must be able to start fighting immediately, and all our actions must be realistic, to ensure that the rogue is fooled, and gather a large army to attack Kuizhou Mansion."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the army to fight, but the itinerary needs to be kept strictly confidential, and I will complete the task of waiting for the Kuizhou capital city, leaving 10,000 soldiers is enough, we must let the Liukou believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in the Kuizhou capital city. This is the key to the eradication of the rogues, because the stakes are very high, so I just said it today, and I ask for your understanding. ”

As soon as Su Tiancheng finished speaking, a still somewhat immature voice came out.

"Master Su, I don't agree to this arrangement, since the Liukou and the Houjin Tartar are aimed at me, I am in this Fengjie City, and I will not go anywhere, I want to see how powerful the Liukou is."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter is by no means child's play, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any accidents, the ministers will die."

"Master Su's arrangement, I know the way, I know the way, it is very dangerous to stay in the city, but as the prince, at such a critical moment, he can escape from the battle, I will never do such things, no one will say it."

Su Tiancheng was speechless for a while, he didn't expect that at this time, Zhu Cihong was so stubborn, he knew that Lu Dao would not ask Zhu Cihong to participate in this discussion.

But Zhu Cihong has changed a lot, and he is making great strides in the direction of Su Tiancheng's hope, thinking that letting Zhu Cihong participate in this meeting is also considered from the overall situation.

Hong Chengchou then spoke.

"My lord, the lower officials think that the lower officials should not be stationed in the city, this matter is still done by the lower officials, if the lower officials have any accidents, the problem is not big, and the adults cannot have accidents."

After saying this, Hong Chengchou saluted Zhu Cihong.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is concerned about the safety of my Ming Dynasty, and he must not be in danger, and the minister thinks that what Lord Su said is reasonable."

"If you don't listen, don't listen, don't talk about it, I've already decided."

At this point, it's useless to say anything.

The danger must exist, if this prediction is accurate, the rogues will attack the city of Kuizhou desperately, no matter how much the price is paid, as long as they can take the city of Kuizhou in a short period of time, they will have won a complete victory, and the price paid is not worth mentioning.

Su Tiancheng made a final decision.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sticking to the capital city of Kuizhou, and the ministers are very admirable, and they can't go against His Royal Highness the Prince's original intentions."

A smile appeared on Zhu Cihong's face.

Su Tiancheng spoke to Hong Chengchou and the others.

"Everyone acted according to the pre-deployment, and I accompanied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stay in the capital city of Kuizhou." (To be continued......)
