Huang Taiji sent Yue Tuo and Kong Youde to garrison Dalinghe City, and the total strength of Houjin stationed in Dalinghe City reached 30,000 people, including the families of these people, and the small Dalinghe City needed to accommodate nearly 100,000 people.

After this news came out, two kinds of reactions were immediately formed.

First of all, pessimistic thoughts, this part of the understanding, mainly from the border army stationed in the Guanning Jin defense line, they believe that the Houjin strengthened the vigilance, increased the garrison, it seems that it is to defend the city of Dalinghe, according to the dangerous terrain of the Daling River, attack the city of Dalinghe, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses, even if it takes the city of Linghe, who knows if the road can be held, if Huang Taiji personally leads the army again and comes to reinforce, the Ming army will not suffer from the enemy on the back, and it will not be possible to make Jinzhou and Ningyuan are in danger.

More thoughts are optimistic, thinking that Su Tiancheng's decision triggered the panic of Huang Taiji and Houjin, and immediately sent more sergeants to defend Dalinghe City, no matter how many troops Houjin sent, Dalinghe City is not far from Jinzhou, and the Ming army attacked Dalinghe City, there are many favorable conditions, of course, this understanding is rooted and has a high degree of trust in Jiangning Battalion.

The most surprising were Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, including Zu Dale, Zu Dabi and other generals.

They couldn't have imagined that Su Tiancheng's prediction was so accurate.

Attacking Dalinghe City was originally a matter that needed to be kept secret, but Su Tiancheng made the news public, not to mention whether he had a high degree of self-confidence, which was not in line with the common sense of the soldiers, Su Tiancheng's purpose was to lure Houjin to send important generals to garrison Dalinghe City, and Su Tiancheng accurately judged that Houjin might send Kong Youde to garrison Dalinghe City.

This kind of accurate encounter gave Zu Dashou and others great confidence, since Su Tiancheng was able to predict Houjin's moves. Then, there must be a way to deal with it.

From this point, it can also be seen that Su Tiancheng has a great appetite, and he is not satisfied with exterminating the 10,000 Houjin soldiers stationed in Dalinghe City, but wants to exterminate the Houjin generals. Even the prince, causing a huge impact, so that the Houjin really have the idea of fear, it can be predicted that if the Ming army completely annihilates the Houjin sergeants stationed in Dalinghe City and recovers Dalinghe City, it will have an immeasurable impact, and from then on, Houjin will easily dare not set foot in the Guanningjin defense line.

Zu Dashou and others who have been fighting for a long time. If we are very aware of the importance of prediction, know ourselves and our opponents and win all battles, and be able to accurately predict the deployment of our opponents, we will have the initiative in war and be able to deal with them calmly.

Their views on Su Tiancheng also changed again after Houjin sent Kong Youde to garrison Dalinghe City, and said politely. From this time on, Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui were absolutely obedient to Su Tiancheng's command. Although Su Tiancheng is so young.

Zu Dashou is well-informed, has encountered setbacks, and his thinking changes much faster, but Zu Dale and Zu Dabi are not so fast, especially Zu Dale. The nickname is Zu Er's madman, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, seeing that Su Tiancheng is young, he doesn't care very much at all, after hearing Zu Dashou say Su Tiancheng's analysis. sneered, thinking that Houjin would not be at the mercy of Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng obviously felt the difficulty, but as the governor of Jiliao, he didn't show anything, and he couldn't say anything, so he was ready to attack Dalinghe City, and when the time came, find some objective reasons, what is not well prepared, what Dalinghe City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, etc., continue to fool, so as to establish his own prestige.

Now everything has become a show, Su Tiancheng's prediction is completely accurate, or Hou Jin was led by Su Tiancheng by the nose, and according to Su Tiancheng's requirements, arrangements were made.

The key is in the next step, how to attack Dalinghe City.

30,000 people guarding Dalinghe City, more than twice as many garrisons as when the Ming army built Dalinghe City, Houjin Sergeant with a strong city wall, dangerous terrain, can completely hold on to and wait for reinforcements, no tricks, it is impossible to take Dalinghe City, not to mention that Huang Taiji will not watch the Ming army attack Dalinghe City.

Therefore, Zu Dabi and Zu Dale and others, although they are somewhat convinced, they still have to look at the next move.

"My lord, Huang Taiji really sent Kong Youde to garrison Dalinghe City, Xia Guan really admires it, my lord is like a god, he is simply leading Huang Taiji's nose and leaving."

"Lord Hong, I don't have such a god, this is actually the same as the hero's vision, empathy, I am in the position of Huang Taiji, and I also want to send Kong Youde to garrison Dalinghe City."

Hong Chengchou and Qin Sande are a little confused, it is said that the fierce generals under Huang Taiji are like clouds, and any one sent out can be able to guard Dalinghe City, in comparison, Kong Youde's reputation is not big, but the emperor and the court hate Kong Youde, a rebel general.

"My lord, Xiaguan and Gonggong Qin don't understand very well, Xiaguan and Gonggong Qin have also discussed, thinking that Huang Taiji has a lot of generals who can be sent, not necessarily Kong Youde."

"Yes, Huang Taiji's fierce generals are like clouds, this is his advantage, but the system of Houjin determines that Huang Taiji's choice is very leisurely, Huang Taiji's fierce generals, almost all of them are Manchus, Manchus' habit is hunting, and they get skills from hunting, which determines that they are used to rushing to fight, and they don't attach much importance to battles such as defending cities, and they are not willing to learn."

Su Tiancheng looked at Hong Chengchou and Qin Sande, Hong Chengchou had no experience in fighting with the Houjin Tartars, and several large-scale battles were personally commanded by himself, so Hong Chengchou didn't know much about the Houjin Tartars, and as for Qin Sande, he didn't have such an opportunity, and it was even impossible to go to the battlefield in person.

"My Ming soldiers, very different, accustomed to sticking to the city, after the golden tartar is different, this is like the difference between the homeless and the household, the homeless is used to the four seas as a home, the concept of home is indifferent, but the household is different, there is food to guard, there is a family to feed, the biggest purpose is to guard and build their own home, the difference between the two is here, good at the aspects are also different."

Hong Chengchou and Qin Sande nodded again and again.

"30,000 people stationed in Dalinghe City, such a scale is not small, Huang Taiji must be considered, so many sergeants, the commander must be a Manchu general, it is impossible for a Han to be the marshal, plus the garrison in Dalinghe City is a sergeant of the Red Banner, Dai Shan is the banner owner, then, the commander can only be Dai Shan or Dai Shan's son, Yue Tuo is the commander, this is normal."

"But there can't be a lot of Houjin Tartars stationed in Dalinghe City, these Tartars are not familiar with the tactics of defending the city, and they still have to rely on the Han army, so the garrison of Dalinghe City must be dominated by the Han army, so many Han troops need a strong commander, and they also need Han people who are familiar with the tactics of defending the city, and there are only three people that Huang Taiji can choose, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming."

"Relatively speaking, Kong Youde's fame is the greatest, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, he led the troops to rebel, captured Dengzhou, slaughtered the people, destroyed my Ming artillery base, and made Houjin get artillery, and his strength increased greatly, which is also the reason why Kong Youde was ranked at the top when Huang Taiji was crowned the king."

"Yue Tuo, as the commander, directly leads so many Han troops, there must be a problem, someone needs to assist, this person must be Han, Kong Youde is the most suitable person."

"It is impossible for Kong Youde to rebel, only to die for Houjin, Daming has no place for him, no matter what the circumstances, it is impossible for Kong Youde to surrender again, Kong Youde's actions in capturing Dengzhou have cut off all his own way out."

"Huang Taiji sent Kong Youde to garrison Dalinghe City to assist Yue Tuo, Kong Youde has no other way out, he can only wait for help, and he must obey Yue Tuo's command, otherwise there is no way out."

"From this point of view, sending Kong Youde and Huang Taiji is the most assured, of course, you can also send Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, I just guess that Kong Youde is the most likely."

As soon as Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Qin Sande immediately spoke.

"Lord Su's analysis is really thorough, our family is convinced, our family believes that Lord Su will be able to take it in one fell swoop when he attacks Dalinghe City, although our family is a prison army, but he also has to go into battle to kill the enemy, and please send Lord Su."

"What Father-in-law Qin said is yes, the lower officials are convinced."

Su Tiancheng smiled and quickly became serious.

"Lord Hong, Gonggong Qin, there is a sentence, I must say, the two of them did not have direct contact with the Houjin Tartars in the past, they didn't know each other very well, which is understandable, but now the situation is different, our main opponent is the Houjin Tartars, in the next few years, we are all committed to exterminating the Tartars, so it is necessary to analyze the psychology of the Tartars and predict their every move, and this kind of analysis, the two of them will also be like this in the future."

Hong Chengchou nodded again and again.

"What my lord said is that the lower officials were negligent, and in the future they will fight against the Houjin Tartars, and they must analyze their decisions in order to make the best arrangements and deployments, and the lower officials have been taught."

Su Tiancheng nodded.

"Father-in-law Qin, there is one thing, please take a trip, Lord Bi is working hard to develop artillery, father-in-law on behalf of the Governor's Mansion, go to supervise, the construction period can not be delayed, at the end of April must all arrive in Jinzhou, can not be delayed, father-in-law can tell Lord Bi, don't feel sorry for the silver, Lord Bi wrote to say, the latest red-coat cannon and general cannon, more powerful, more accurate, but the manufacturing procedure is a little troublesome, on the one hand, to keep secret, on the other hand, to speed up the progress of production, it is very difficult, father-in-law told Lord Bi, I don't want a reason, as long as the artillery, if the artillery can't arrive on time, I'm going to march the law. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, our family will leave today."

Su Tiancheng nodded with satisfaction, Qin Sande has been in the Jiangning camp for a long time, and he has also developed the habit of being vigorous and resolute, and he will never drag his feet in doing things. (To be continued......)
