The Jiangning battalion won again, defeated the 80,000 army led by Azig, and annihilated nearly 10,000 Tartars, which was already shocking, in a few days, three consecutive victories, annihilating nearly 30,000 Tartars, especially the third time, was a victory in the case of fighting more with less, which is enough to be proud.

But Su Tiancheng did not agree to the congratulations made by some adults in the court.

There are too many lessons to learn from fighting snakes instead of dying.

Azig led the army to leave, and a lot of property was scattered along the way, which was picked up by the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, which made the Jiangning battalion increase its income again, but this detail caused Su Tiancheng to think.

What is the purpose of Azig going deep into the Guannai, Houjin Jianguo, sending a large army into the Guannai, there is one aspect of showing off its strength, but the military structure of Houjin has not changed, the sergeants of the Eight Banners of Mongolia still have no military salary, most of them rely on looting to get supplies, this time the army enters the Guannei, if you can't loot the money, then Azig can still command so many sergeants.

Don't say Azig, that is, the Jiangning battalion, the treatment of the soldiers, but also dare not be negligent, no matter what the circumstances, to ensure the soldiers' salary, this is the foundation, the Ming Dynasty is in the wind and rain, being a soldier means fighting, it means fighting, it means that you may lose your life at any time, and people have no obligation to abandon their lives casually.

The system of the Ming army has reached a dead end, and the treatment of the sergeants is extremely low, which seriously affects the combat effectiveness of the army. Material encouragement occupies a large component.

To put it mildly, every time the Houjin Tartars invaded the Guannai, they got great benefits, and some of the Tartars even got rich overnight, in such a situation, who would not have to work hard.

Of course. The courage of the Jiangning battalion is not only based on material encouragement, but also ideological education is indispensable; after all, an army needs to have a military spirit and a strong sense of honor, which money cannot buy, and it is also crucial.

Houjin is not like this, in their eyes, the Han people belong to the inferior people. The Tartars regard their status very high, the history of the Qing Dynasty, there has always been such a problem, the Han people are the slaves of the Manchus, through the conquest of the slaves, to get the pleasure of victory, so that to dominate the world, such a good wish. How could a sergeant not fight hard.

After less than a day's rest, Su Tiancheng summoned Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Bi Maokang, Xiong Zijian and others. Saying his plan, Su Tiancheng believes that under the current situation, he must continue to chase Azig and fight, and he can't let Azig breathe, and he must keep driving Azig out of the customs all the way. The task of the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army has not yet been completed, and although Azig has suffered a crushing defeat, the main force is still there, and there is still an extremely strong combat effectiveness, so he is a little careless. There is a chance that someone will make a comeback.

Su Tiancheng's proposal was undoubtedly approved, especially Sun Chuanting and Xiong Zijian, who raised their hands in favor, they both felt that the last battle was very bad, and it ended almost without exertion.

When discussing what line to follow, Su Tiancheng did not hesitate to point to the positions of Changping and Juyongguan.

His reason is very simple, this line is the most recently, Azig entered Xifengkou, and he also came in from this line, he is very familiar, and when he leaves, there is no reason to take a new path, this is human nature, and it has nothing to do with tactics.

30,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers and more than 20,000 Datong border troops were divided into the front army, the middle army and the rear army.

The front army is mainly composed of the Jiangning Battalion, the Cavalry Battalion, the Forward Battalion, the Jianrui Battalion, the Infantry Battalion, the Pro-Soldier Battalion and the Scout Battalion, with a number of 20,000 people, while the Chinese army is mainly composed of the Jiangning Battalion Shenji Battalion and the Artillery Battalion, and there is also a part of the strength of the Datong Border Army, which is also 20,000 people, and the remaining 10,000 people are the rear army.

The responsibilities of the three armies are also different, the front army and the middle army are mainly the army that pursues and attacks the Tartars, the rear army is mainly the logistics force, guarding grain, grass and money, and the rear army is mainly the Jiangning battalion law enforcement battalion is directly responsible.

Su Tiancheng, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting commanded the front army, Hong Chengchou and Bi Maokang commanded the Chinese army, and Xiong Zijian commanded the rear army.

In fact, Su Tiancheng already had an idea, he and Hong Chengchou discussed that after the end of this campaign, more than 20,000 Datong border troops all joined the Jiangning battalion, so that the number of Jiangning battalions increased greatly. This batch of Datong border troops has experienced brutal battles, and their own quality is good, so the overall strength of the Jiangning battalion will be greatly enhanced.

As for Liang Tingdong, the governor of Datong, there is no need to think about it, according to the judgment of Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou, Liang Tingdong probably shouldn't think about continuing to return to Datong.

Su Tiancheng even wrote a secret fold and recommended Lu Xiangsheng to be the governor of Datong.

The army soon set out.

Almost at the same time as departure, Su Tiancheng received a report from the scout.

Azig led a large army, surrounded the city of Changping, has begun to charge, Azig led the army of 70,000, divided into three parts, 20,000 Tartars are responsible for attacking the city of Changping, 20,000 Tartars are responsible for the capital to Changping Fu direction of the vigilance, 30,000 troops to Juyong Pass, open the way for retreat.

Unexpectedly, Azig personally led a large army to attack Changping Province.

After getting this news, Hong Chengchou and others were very anxious, thinking that the Jiangning camp should speed up the pace and go to aid Changping Fucheng, Lu Xiangsheng told Su Tiancheng that Lord Zhang Fengyi of Liaodong Jinglu should be in Changping Fucheng, if the Tartars broke through the Changping Mansion City and killed Lord Zhang Fengyi, the face of the imperial court would be gone, and the Liaodong Jinglu who commanded the fight against Houjin was killed by the Tartars, and what to talk about fighting against Houjin.

Su Tiancheng didn't say anything right away, he carefully looked at the map drawn by the scout, which marked the location of the three Tartar armies.

Su Tiancheng knew that his judgment was accurate, Azig did not know that Zhang Fengyi, the Liaodong Jinglu of the Ming Dynasty, was in Changping Fucheng, if he knew this news, he would definitely attack Changping Fucheng even more frantically, and he would be able to capture the Liaodong Jinglu of the Ming Dynasty alive, such a victory was also remarkable, and it could cover up the mistake of losing 30,000 soldiers.

Rescue is a must, can not let Azig break through the city of Changping, otherwise the lives will be ruined, I don't know how many people will be killed and injured in the road, Azig's attack, with the nature of gambling, is also the biggest vent of inner grievances, once the attack down Changping City, it must be not an inch of grass.

In the past, when such a situation occurred, the imperial court would not make any other sound except sighing and anger, but the Jiangning camp appeared, severely damaged the Tartars, and won three consecutive victories.

The reality is that if you have the ability, you have to take on greater responsibility, whether you can afford it or not.

Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and the others all stared at Su Tiancheng, waiting for him to make a decision.

This scene is very interesting, to say that Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng are also dignified members, they once commanded thousands of troops and horses, but now they are surrounded by a young man, without expressing their position at all, this is the embodiment of strength.

Su Tiancheng has already shown strong strength, and in such a situation, no one will speak easily.

The army continued to move forward, and Su Tiancheng and the others stayed on the side of the road, looking particularly weird.

Finally, Su Tiancheng spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Azig has made full preparations this time, the situation has changed somewhat, if we rely on the front army and launch a charge alone, we may not be able to have a good effect, Azig attacked Changping Mansion, he may not know that Lord Zhang Fengyi is in Changping Mansion City, his purpose is mostly to vent his anger and loot money, judging from the current situation, his attack will be very fierce, and strive to capture Changping Mansion City in the shortest possible time."

"Azig left 20,000 troops on guard, this force should not be underestimated, if we and the 20,000 Tartars responsible for the defense have an exchange of fire, no matter what the result is, once Azig captures the city of Changping Prefecture, our rescue operation will be a complete failure, so in my opinion, the front army and the Chinese army will make peace, use the Chinese army to deal with the defending Tartars, the artillery battalion is responsible for priing open their defensive line, and the front army quickly rushed over and galloped to the aid of Changping Mansion."

"This move is very dangerous, if the 20,000 people who are responsible for defending the Tartars and the 20,000 people who are responsible for attacking Changping Mansion will be reconciled, it will be an army of 40,000, and our front army will only have 20,000 people, and 20,000 people will face 40,000 people, which is not easy."

"Azig dared to arrange it like this, because he was on guard, but he still underestimated our Jiangning Battalion, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains and biased towards Tiger Mountain, and Jiangning Battalion did such things."

"Do you have any other opinions?"

Lu Xiangsheng spoke.

"Is it to defeat the 20,000 Tartars in charge of defense in one fell swoop, causing a huge momentum, so that Azig has no intention of attacking the city with all his might, and even led a large army to come to reinforcements and give up attacking Changping Fucheng."

Su Tiancheng shook his head slightly.

"Lord Lu, since Azig has made such an arrangement, he has a certain amount of psychological preparation, and the 20,000 Tartars who are responsible for the defense must also be ready for battle, and we are not so sure that we will defeat them in a short period of time."

The rest of the people stopped talking.

"Since you have no new opinions, then implement this method, time is urgent, and it must not be delayed."

Su Tiancheng raised his head.

"Sun Yuankun."

Sun Yuankun ran over in response.

"The pro-military battalion immediately informed the front army and the middle army to speed up the pace of marching, march as fast as possible, and prepare for battle along the way."

Turning his head, Su Tiancheng spoke to Hong Chengchou and Bi Maokang.

"Hong Jian Army, Bi Commander Tongzhi, the artillery battalion also has to play a key role, including the Shenji battalion, this time we take the initiative to attack the Tartars, to give full play to the maximum power of firearms, to minimize the casualties of the soldiers, this battle, life and death, please."
