(Congratulations to readers on a Merry Christmas and Christmas Eve.) ）

The main reason for this is because he is not very familiar with the terrain around Sumeru Island, and because the army led by Sun Chuanting is basically stationed in the Xuanzhou area and rarely goes out of the city, of course, there is another reason why Su Tiancheng can't talk about it, that is, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have adopted a gentle policy towards the people of Xuanzhou, and a large number of spies of the Houjin Tartars are mixed among the people. From the point of view of secrecy, Sun Chuanting asked the army not to be dispatched at will, and they were basically stationed in Xuanzhou City.

This is already the case, it is useless to complain, Dai Shan led the army, starting from Pyongyang, attacking Xuanzhou, there are three roads to choose from, from the analysis of pros and cons, no one can judge which offensive route Dai Shan will choose.

The sand table was made by Liu Tiehan himself with the scouts.

Liu Tiehan was also personally responsible for the report.

"My lord, my subordinates have reconnoitred in detail, three routes, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, the location of the army's expected ambush, the small place name here is a line of sky, which means that there are many mountain roads, the mountains are high and dense, the terrain is dangerous, the army wants to set up an ambush, there are great difficulties, there are not many places that can be ambushed, the artillery is basically difficult to play a role, and precise planning is required to make the artillery play a limited role; The second route, which is eight miles away from the first line of heaven, is called Huazhuang in that area, and the terrain is much flatter and has a wide field of vision, which is conducive to the movement of large armies, especially for the rapid movement of cavalry. With great help, the road of Huazhuang is also the travel road chosen by the people, and it is also the main route from Xuanzhou to Sumeru Island; The third road, near the direction of Sumeru Island, is five miles away from the first line. There is close to the sea, most of them are small roads, mainly the original fishermen opened the road, weeds generated, if there is no special person to lead the way, it is basically impassable, and only the people who are very familiar with the terrain of this area can take this road, the advantage is that the distance is closer. ”

Liu Tiehan finished reporting. Su Tiancheng looked at the people in the Chinese military tent, and the main officers were all here.

The choice of the ambush site plays a decisive role, if the location cannot be selected well, resulting in the failure of the ambush, the Jiangning battalion will have to pay a huge price, first of all, the artillery cannot play its due role, and the artillery is cumbersome. It was impossible to transfer the place at any time, and the firing of artillery. There are also requirements for the terrain, if the cannon body cannot be stabilized, there may be a situation of cannon destruction and death when firing, which also indicates that if you cannot accurately set up an ambush. The artillery will lose its effectiveness.

The second is that the preparation of the soldiers is blocked, and the ambush of the 30,000 army is not as simple as imagined, just like playing chess, and the chess pieces can be mobilized with every hand and foot. Once the ambush is completed, the discipline must be strictly observed, the concealment work should be done in place, the tactics that should be implemented must be in place, when to attack, what method to attack, are all clear, the soldiers must also be familiar with the heart, but the ambush is in vain, everything has to start all over again, or even completely useless, the army can only follow Dai Shan's pursuit, relying on speed to destroy Dai Shan's army, this is almost unlikely, Dai Shan's army, basically all cavalry, the speed is fast, blocking the cavalry needs sufficient preparation, Su Tiancheng didn't dare to guarantee that the speed of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion was faster than that of Houjin Tartar.

Once Dai Shan perceives that there is a large army following and pursuing, he will definitely make peace with Zierharang as soon as possible, and the red flag and the blue flag sergeant will make peace, and the morale will be greatly boosted, this is not a simple matter as one plus one equals two, the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartar will be greatly increased, and this battle will become a protracted war, the casualties on both sides are heavy, and the advantage of the strength of the Jiangning battalion is almost non-existent.

In short, the failure of the ambush site means that the entire plan will be frustrated, and the crucial battle between the Jiangning camp and the Houjin Tartars will turn into a formidable tug-of-war, which is by no means Su Tiancheng's hope.

But now we may be facing such a situation.

Su Tiancheng didn't speak first, he looked at Hong Chengchou, this is his habit, after everyone has spoken, he will synthesize everyone's opinions and make a final decision.

Hong Chengchou is obviously also thinking, everyone must make a decision in the shortest possible time, there is not enough time, can not delay, in fact, the army came to the ambush site, there is already a bit of a rush taste, especially the artillery, need to choose the right location, need to stabilize the artillery body, need to calculate the best firing distance and so on.

Hong Chengchou quickly spoke.

He pointed in the direction of Huazhuang.

"I personally think that Huazhuang is the best ambush location, if there is no accident, Dai Shan should lead the army, pass through this road, after the red flag of the Golden Tartar, most of them are cavalry, it is impossible to choose the road close to the direction of Sumeru Island, here the grass and trees are lush, the original road is basically invisible, many places need to be reopened, Dai Shan can not have so much time, as for between the two lines of Huazhuang and the first line of the sky, I tend to Huazhuang, the cavalry mainly lies in the speed, the marching speed is fast, can play a surprisingly winning role, the speed is too slow, and it also has an impact on the morale of the army. ”

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he looked at Su Tiancheng.

The next speaker was He Renlong, the most forward, leading an army of 20,000 to attack, and He Renlong's role was not much different from that of the coach and deputy marshal.

"The subordinates agree with Lord Hong's opinion, if it is replaced by me to lead the army, I will definitely choose the road of Huazhuang, the subordinates believe that Dai Shan does not know that the army of Lu Dao has set up an ambush on Sumeru Island, and he also knows that Ji'er Harang will lead an army of 20,000 people to launch an attack on Xuanzhou from the direction of Tieshan, in this case, it is unlikely that the soldiers of Xuanzhou will leave the city and set up an ambush around Huazhuang, and the main purpose is to stick to Xuanzhou City."

Su Tiancheng looked at Liu Tiehan again, Liu Tiehan personally inspected the three roads, and it was also the hardest, and he should have the most right to speak.

Hong Chengchou and He Renlong both believed that Dai Shan might march from Huazhuang, which indicated that the 30,000 army would set off immediately, rush to Huazhuang, and choose the best ambush location nearby, of course, this work, Liu Tiehan has already completed, but mobilizing 30,000 troops, including setting up artillery, is not a simple matter.

"Lord Hong and Lord He both emphasized that Dai Shan may march from Huazhuang and attack Xuanzhou, and his subordinates also knew this way before, but his subordinates also have doubts, that is, if Dai Shan chooses to attack Xuanzhou from Huazhuang, it is also possible to completely expose the combat intentions, and the rest of the reasons, the subordinates will not be clear."

Liu Tiehan's words are equivalent to not saying, Dai Shan led 20,000 troops, after leaving Pyongyang, it is impossible to keep it secret, Jiang Ning Battalion must know, Dai Shan does not need to keep it secret, Jiang Ning Battalion occupies Xuanzhou, Dai Shan will take Xuanzhou back, this is the arrogant side of Dai Shan.

The rest of the people didn't say anything, and it seemed that they basically agreed with Hong Chengchou and He Renlong's views.

After being silent for more than a minute, Su Tiancheng spoke.

"You all think that Daishan will march from Huazhuang, I don't see it that way, I just think that Daishan will march from the front line, as for the road close to Sumeru Island, it can be completely ruled out, and the road that is not formed, Daishan will not choose, this is a taboo for the army to march, before the battle, Daishan will not hurt his morale and increase casualties in vain."

Everyone looked at Su Tiancheng, from everyone's eyes, Su Tiancheng saw doubts, this is also a rare situation, under normal circumstances, as long as Su Tiancheng makes a decision, everyone strictly implements it, but this battle is too critical, everyone thinks of a complete victory, and it is normal for doubts to appear.

"I have this understanding again, based on two reasons, the first aspect, the Houjin Tartars are afraid of our artillery, the Houjin Tartars have suffered too much losses in Dalinghe City, Montenegro, Yizhou and other places, the last Liaodong Campaign, the artillery caused great damage to the Houjin Tartars, I believe they are afraid of artillery, Huazhuang This road, the field of vision is broad, it is convenient for the army to march, but there is also a fatal problem, that is, it is convenient for the artillery to attack, you think, Daishan will be because of the choice of speed, Is it convenient to march without taking into account the possible lethality of artillery. ”

"The second aspect, the Zhenghongqi led by Daishan has been stationed in North Korea for more than a year and almost two years, North Korea is a mountainous place, in such a place, the most important thing is to be familiar with the combat in the mountainous situation, especially the cavalry can fully adapt to the mountain warfare, nearly two years, do you think that Daishan will sleep a lot in Pyongyang and not pay attention to the training of sergeants, since Daishan has led the Zhenghongqi Tartars to be stationed in Korea for such a long time, it is suitable for mountain warfare, Why didn't he choose a road like a line of heaven to march, while his own safety would not affect the speed of the march. ”

"Dai Shan has experienced a hundred battles, although it is a little arrogant, but when he really fights, Dai Shan will be particularly sober and will make the most beneficial decision, based on these circumstances, I think that Dai Shan's army will definitely march from the front line."

After Su Tiancheng said the reason, everyone was convinced, and everyone thought of the reason why the Houjin Tatars were afraid of artillery, but the terrain of North Korea, everyone really didn't expect it, and they didn't realize that Dai Shan had adapted to such a terrain, but Su Tiancheng thought of it, this is the difference, the difference between greatness and ordinary.

Su Tiancheng waved his hand and made the last decision.

"The army is still in ambush on the front line, according to the original plan to plan the action, in order to prevent accidents, in the direction of Huazhuang, arrange five hundred suspicious soldiers, so make a mystery, the bigger the momentum, the better, there are many ways, you can use branches to raise dust, showing that there is an army ambush, okay, the decision I made today is also a gamble, if this time Daishan really marched from Huazhuang, then we are ready to start a protracted war with the Houjin Tartars."
