Qiyue Mountain, located in Wuxiang County, is high and densely forested, and the terrain is complex, so it seems that it is not the best choice to ambush here.

Sun Chuanting, Bi Maokang, Xiong Zijian, He Renlong and others gathered in the Chinese military tent.

Sun Chuanting has already reported the preliminary preparations, ambushing in the mountains, it is not a very difficult thing, but he chose to ambush here, it is not the best place, the defects are obvious, the terrain is not open, there are many places for the rogues to escape, once they enter the deep mountains, the next pursuit will be very troublesome.

Bi Maokang's opinion is similar, the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion should be deployed in an open place, so that if they are arranged in advance, they can give the biggest blow to the rogues.

Including Sun Yuankun and others, they also have such views.

He Renlong didn't speak, Sun Chuanting's name, he also knew the Tao, people participated in the battle of Zhongdu, not only Sun Chuanting, these officers in front of him have all participated in many battles and have rich experience.

He Renlong's strange thing was that the Jiangning battalion discussed the combat steps as if it was brainstorming, and Su Tiancheng listened very carefully to everyone's opinions, and finally made a decision.

After everyone finished speaking, Su Tiancheng spoke.

"Choosing to ambush in Qiyue Mountain, it is indeed not the best choice for Lu, for what will Lu choose here, I believe everyone also understands, in the open area, we can't ambush, let alone keep the news from leaking, the ambush is more important than surprise, if we alarm the county government of Wuxiang County, and even the people, think about it, can such news be kept secret, once Zhang Xianzhong gets the information, he will immediately change the route of the march, all our efforts are in vain."

"The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the rogues are good at fighting in such places. The Jiangning battalion is also accustomed to fighting in such a place, and every time there is a big competition, we arrange for survival training in the wilderness, and what is the purpose of this, is to deal with the current situation. ”

"Ordnance and firearms are important, but these things. It all needs soldiers to operate, and in the final analysis, the courage of soldiers is the most important. ”

"This expedition against the Liukou, the artillery battalion is the first time to participate, Lord Bi, Lord Xiong, you are the battalion commander and deputy commander of the artillery battalion, after such a long time of training, it is time to play the role of the artillery battalion. The Jiangning battalion is very concerned about the artillery battalion, the better you fight, the better the soldiers will be able to ensure less bloodshed, this time the artillery battalion carried, all of them are tiger squat guns and long machines, the terrain of Qiyue Mountain is just suitable, and Lord Sun has arranged it just now. The artillery battalion has been deployed. ”

Su Tiancheng spoke and walked to the front of the sand table.

This time. The sand table has played an important role, and the topography of Qiyue Mountain, on the sand table, is accurately revealed, including mountain slopes, woods, rivers, etc., at a glance. Plain as day.

Su Tiancheng pointed to the road with a wooden strip and spoke.

"Through Qi Yue Mountain, there is only such a formed road, and the rest of the paths, Zhang Xianzhong will not choose, after all, he leads 50,000 Liukou. This is not a small number, it is impossible for the Liukou to fly through the wall, and can only pass through Qiyue Mountain along this road, and the location of the artillery battalion is at the entrance of Qiyue Mountain, I think, this arrangement has been carefully considered by you. ”

"The range of the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Furlong Aircraft is not very far, but the power is still not small, it is set at the place of import, I have no objection, but the relevant arrangements are still to remind me that the task of the artillery battalion is not only to shell the rogue team, but also to blow up this road."

Seeing Su Tiancheng pointing to the road into Qiyue Mountain, everyone was a little surprised.

You must know that the road has been blown up, and the movement of the Jiangning battalion is inconvenient.

"You may be surprised, I made such an arrangement for Lang, I have long emphasized that the Jiangning battalion needs to make dumplings and annihilate all the Liukou, either to drive ducks, blow up the road, or to trap the Liukou in Qiyue Mountain, not to let them escape from Lu, at this time, the flintlock pistol in the soldier's hand can play a decisive role."

"Fighting in the open area, the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion have a greater advantage, but there is no way to do it at present, besides, in the open area, there are many people, and it is very likely to hurt the innocent.

"This battle is the biggest test for the Jiangning battalion, to test the effect of the soldiers' training on weekdays, if they can calmly fight in the deep mountains and dense forests, and fight this battle well, the Jiangning battalion will be able to face any environment."

"The Jiangning battalion also has to consider the worst-case scenario, that is, Zhang Xianzhong does not take this road, he should take other routes, and all battalions must be ready at all times to make necessary adjustments."

Sun Chuanting and other officers' early arrangements, Su Tiancheng didn't say much, and he didn't comment on it, but he approved of such an arrangement.

In terms of how to fight, Su Tiancheng focused on the general direction, as for the specific arrangement, he would not think about it so much, and he was not good at this aspect, so he would not say more.

There is also a question, that is, how to arrange the three thousand sergeants led by He Renlong.

This is something that was not considered before.

There may be a certain gap between the quality of the 3,000 sergeants led by He Renlong and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, which is also the actual situation, after all, the treatment of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion is not comparable to the rest of the guards.

"Lord Sun, the three thousand sergeants led by General He, assist the Jiangning battalion to exterminate the Liukou together, how to arrange the specific arrangement, you think about it, and immediately make the arrangement, from now on, you will be responsible for the deployment of the specific operation, I will obey the command, all the soldiers must obey the arrangement and deployment of Lord Sun, the military order is like a mountain, no one is allowed to disobey it."

When Su Tiancheng said this, he didn't look at He Renlong, in fact, he said it to He Renlong.

Su Tiancheng didn't know He Renlong very well, but He Renlong's urgent mood, he knew the truth, once he went to the battlefield, he always wanted to show personal heroism, something happened, it was not easy to say afterwards, say hello in advance, I believe He Renlong can understand the meaning.

The deployment of the Jiangning battalion is basically in place, which battalion is in which position, all of which are marked on the sand table, but the location of the 3,000 sergeants led by He Renlong is not marked on it.

This also shows that the 3,000 soldiers led by He Renlong are dispensable.

He Renlong's face turned a little red.

"Lord Su, Lord Sun, my subordinates obey the arrangement, but there is only one request, they must go into battle to kill the enemy."

Su Tiancheng looked at He Renlong and had a different feeling.

He Renlong is not a scheming officer, in such an occasion, if there are some officers who are subtle but not revealed, most of them will not speak, and any thoughts are stuffy in their hearts, I can't think of He Renlong who can't help it, it seems that he has been fighting for a long time, and his mind is still simpler. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Su Tiancheng thought of Wu Sangui, if Wu Sangui met such an occasion, his performance must be different, either he was completely supportive, or he was silent.

An officer like He Renlong, on the whole, Su Tiancheng still appreciates it.

The task was implemented, and everyone left the Chinese military tent one after another, and Sun Chuanting and Xiong Zijian stayed.

Xiong Zijian was mainly responsible for logistics support, and Bi Maokang had to arrange the tasks of the artillery battalion, and there was not much time left.

He Renlong also left the Zhongjun tent and went outside to wait.

Sun Chuanting spoke.

"The sergeant led by General He, how to arrange, please show me."

"What did you think earlier?"

"I think about letting General He lead 3,000 sergeants to follow the artillery battalion, so as to protect the safety of the artillery battalion to the greatest extent.

Su Tiancheng shook his head lightly.

"There is something wrong with this arrangement, the three thousand sergeants led by He Renlong are mostly the sergeants who were slaughtered and desperately broke through at Yima Pass last time, these sergeants have suffered a fiasco, and they have a lot of resentment in their hearts, this resentment needs to be dredged out, the best way is to let them fight face-to-face with the rogues, in my opinion, let them join the ranks of the forward battalion, and participate in the charge after the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion have the maximum attack on the rogues."

"My lord, the task of the charge, the cavalry battalion is directly responsible, I think these three thousand sergeants, most of them are foot soldiers, it is difficult to keep up with the rhythm, if it drags down the overall charge, I'm afraid it is not very suitable."

"It's not simple, when charging, the Xiao cavalry battalion was in front, and He Renlong led three thousand sergeants to follow behind."

Sun Chuanting frowned, as if he felt that such an arrangement was unnecessary.

"Master Sun, as I said earlier, these sergeants have suffered heavy blows, and they have resentment in their hearts, and if they want to vent this resentment, they will kill on the battlefield, and after defeating the opponent, the shadow in their hearts will naturally dissipate, and the Jiangning battalion still has to give people such a chance."

"I know, my lord, I'll arrange it right away."

"Well, for the specific task, you can directly assign it to He Renlong, and it is best for you to personally take He Renlong to the position of arming, and I will go to the artillery battalion to take a look first."

Seeing that Su Tiancheng was about to leave, Sun Chuanting hurriedly spoke.

"My lord, there is one more thing."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"My lord just said, I am responsible for this tactical deployment, since this is the case, my lord must also obey my arrangement, this time in the fight, my lord must not go into battle to kill the enemy, although he is in command in the military tent."

Su Tiancheng was a little annoyed, Sun Chuanting meant that he wanted to sit in the Chinese military tent by himself, and it was estimated that there were still a thousand soldiers guarding outside.

"Lord Sun, I'm the commander, and the soldiers kill the enemy, can't I go and see it?"

"No, my lord has just said that I am responsible for all the specific deployments."

Su Tiancheng looked at Sun Chuanting and was speechless.

Xiong Zijian on the side also spoke.

"What Master Sun said is correct, and adults still have to obey."

Su Tiancheng nodded helplessly, he thought of it, Sun Chuanting and Xiong Zijian both said this, is there a shadow of Wang Furong, Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo in this. (To be continued......)
