Chapter 646: Night Attack (1)

Zu Dashou still spoke.

"My lord, there will be a suggestion at the end."

"Say."

"The last general is familiar with the terrain around Matsuyama, and the last general suggests that he launch an attack tomorrow and take Matsuyama in one fell swoop."

"Oh, does General Zu have such confidence?"

Before Zu Dashou could speak, Zu Dale behind him spoke.

"My lord, the last general will use the head to guarantee that he will definitely take Songshan, and the last general will often go to the Songshan area to inspect and be familiar with the terrain there, and if he can't complete the task, he won't want this head."

Zu Dashou turned his head and was about to reprimand Zu Dale, but he didn't expect Su Tiancheng to speak.

"Okay, according to your plan, the deployment will be changed slightly, the army will set off at the end of the day, and arrive at Songshan at the end of the hour, but this officer can remember your words, attack at the right time, and before the time of the hour, you must take Songshan."

The night attack is not for fun, it requires real familiarity with the terrain, and to grasp the situation of the other party, the terrain of Songshan is a little complicated, fortunately, the Jiangning battalion scouts have already reconnoitred the situation and marked the place where the Houjin Tartars are stationed and guarded, which also makes Zu Dashou have some less things to do and can concentrate on attacking.

The intelligence of the scouts cannot cover all aspects, such as how many Houjin sergeants are stationed in Songshan, it is impossible to know the road clearly, in addition, whether the Houjin sergeant has changed the location of the station, or where the scouts have been scattered, it is also impossible to know the way accurately, so in some cases, it is still necessary to respond on the spot.

The night attack is advantageous for the side who is familiar with the terrain, which is the advantage, considering that Zu Dale and Zu Dabi have been stationed in Jinzhou for a long time, although it is said that they have been holding the city for a longer time, they should be very familiar with the terrain of Songshan. From this aspect, Su Tiancheng agreed to the plan of the night attack.

After leaving the General Military Mansion, Zu Dashou bowed his head and headed towards the barracks, time was very tight, and the 50,000 border troops he led were stationed in the south of Jinzhou City. There is a temporary stationing site, there are border troops stationed in Jinzhou, and there are border troops stationed in Ningyuan, although the attack on Songshan, Su Tiancheng arranged 20,000 people, but 50,000 people must act in unison, it is impossible to put the remaining 30,000 people in Jinzhou, and it is impossible to follow the brigade to set off behind.

That is, 50,000 people must set off at the same time.

Yin launched an attack. It is necessary to set off from Jinzhou City in the second hour, spend an hour, rush to Songshan, prepare in the next hour, and launch an attack in the second hour.

When Su Tiancheng was leaving, he paid special attention to the matter of making dumplings, and if possible, the Houjin sergeant stationed in Songshan. It is extremely necessary to annihilate them all, so that they can be the next step of the team. Strive for the greatest initiative, so in Zu Dashou's heart, what he thought of was this matter.

Zu Dale and Zu Dabi and other officers followed closely behind. Zu Dale, who was anxious, couldn't help but speak.

"Brother, give me 5,000 sergeants and promise to take Songshan."

Zu Dashou glared at Zu Dale. Didn't speak.

After returning to the barracks, Zu Dashou finally lost his temper.

"Zu Dale, have you forgotten what Master Su said just now, you are still on the street. You just shouted, do you want the whole city to know that we are going to attack, if the deployment of the adults leaks out because of this, how many heads do you have, do you really want to implicate the family. ā€

Zu Dale shuddered.

"I—I really don't mean that, I just want to be a pioneer."

Zu Dabi is the oldest and relatively calm.

"Da Le's words just now are really inappropriate, this Jinzhou City is very complicated, Houjin's spies must exist, and the adults also know this, so they only started to deploy today, and they will attack in full tomorrow, even if the news leaks out, thinking about sending it to Daling River, or sending it to Shenyang, it's a little too late, but fortunately, Da Le didn't say anything else."

Zu Dashou nodded and looked at Zu Dabi.

"Take 5,000 soldiers to attack, what if you can't succeed, the Houjin soldiers guarding Dalinghe City are only 30,000 in total, but the adults have sent 150,000 troops, don't you understand the deep meaning, the adults must take Dalinghe City, can't have a little mistake, in this case, 5,000 sergeants as the vanguard, in case the attack fails, how do we explain."

Although Zu Dale is known as Zu Er's madman, he was crazy when he was fighting on the battlefield, he still understood the deployment before this battle, so he would not be so confused, hearing Zu Dashou say this, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Okay, my arrangement is like this, Zu Dale led 10,000 sergeants, as the vanguard, the first attack, I led 10,000 sergeants to respond, and then launched an attack, Zu Dabi led 30,000 soldiers, the place where the Houjin sergeant was stationed, surrounded by regiments, not to miss a Houjin sergeant, the entire operation should be absolutely confidential, by the way, when I left the General Military Mansion just now, the adult told me that the Houjin sergeant arranged a secret post, once our attack begins, the scout battalion of the Jiangning battalion will pull out these secret posts at the same timeto prevent messages from leaking out. ā€

Zu Dale was willing, but Zu Dabi disagreed.

"Cousin, you are the commander-in-chief, you need to coordinate and coordinate, how can you lead the sergeants to charge, this is to lead 30,000 sergeants, the matter of encircling the Houjin sergeants, should be in your hands, Da Le and I will charge, in case our two charges can't achieve the results we deserve, you can also make up for it later, so my opinion is that Da Le and I each lead 10,000 sergeants, divided into two rounds of charge, and you take 30,000 sergeants to surround the entire battlefield."

Zu Dale also nodded.

Zu Dashou thought about it for a moment and nodded.

At that hour, an army of 50,000 departed.

10,000 cavalry were at the front, and the horses were wrapped in large mouths, and the hooves of the horses were also wrapped in cloth, so that they could not make any sound.

The 40,000 foot soldiers were clearly required to follow the brigade forward, not allowed to speak, not allowed to talk to each other, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

Before leaving, everyone ate a meal of pork, which is a luxurious life, and when they ate meat, everyone also understood that there was about to be a war, that is, from this time on, all the 50,000 troops were waiting in the barracks, and they were not allowed to go anywhere.

Zu Dale with 10,000 cavalry, walking in the front, he led the vanguard troops, and there is a task, that is, to first observe the terrain, according to the location where the Houjin sergeant is stationed, determine the direction of the attack, this 10,000 cavalry, but Zu Dashou's baby, it is easy not to take it out, stationed in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, are mainly foot soldiers, as for the cavalry, or stationed in Shanhaiguan more, although the combat effectiveness of these cavalry, is not so strong, it is impossible to start a field battle with the Houjin Eight Banner Army, but in terms of action, which is much faster than a starter.

The 10,000 people led by Zu Dabi followed closely behind the cavalry, and the speed could not be compared, but before setting off, Zu Dabi made it clear that he must advance at the fastest speed, and he was not allowed to fall behind, and he was trotting forward all the way.

The 30,000 soldiers led by Zu Dashou were behind the most Lu, and the speed was also very fast.

When the army set off, Zu Dashou finally suppressed his restless heart, he even felt a little unreal, could it be that he was about to start attacking Dalinghe City, this speed was too fast, Chongzhen's four-year battle of Dalinghe was an eternal pain in his heart, and he couldn't attack Dalinghe City with his own hands, and his heart would never be relieved.

Of course, after the army set off, Zu Dashou's spirit was highly concentrated.

The crescent moon in the sky, the white light shining out, seemed a little soft, the army of 50,000 did not have torches, and could not light torches, so as not to reveal their whereabouts, but the sergeants carried more than two torches, which were used during the attack.

According to the intelligence detected by the scouts, it was the Han army stationed in Songshan, which made Zu Dashou feel more relieved, these Han troops, in terms of combat effectiveness, still have some gaps with the Eight Banners Army, and it is relatively easy to deal with.

Two quarters of an hour later, the cavalry led by Zu Dale arrived at Songshan, twenty miles, according to the speed of the day, the cavalry could arrive in half an hour, but this was at night, and it was impossible to make a loud noise.

At the foot of the mountain, Zu Dale saw the Jiangning camp scouts who responded.

He was very surprised, he didn't expect that the scout would be able to accurately judge the location, knowing that he would lead the army and would come here, but he knew that the Jiangning battalion of Lu Dao had not been stationed in Jinzhou for a long time.

"I'm Zu Dale."

Zu Dale was also happy, and immediately reported to his home.

The scout gave a military salute to Zu Dale.

"General Zu, the intelligence of the subordinate reconnaissance is that Sergeant Houjin did not transfer his position, but there are people on guard all around, this is a detailed drawing drawn by his subordinates, I hope it will help the general."

Soon, three sergeants pulled the cloth and one lit a torch.

The cloth obscured the fire.

Zu Dale looked at the drawings carefully, and felt more and more surprised.

After a few minutes, Zu Dale couldn't help but shake the scout's hand.

"Thank you, thank you, this drawing is very detailed, I will make a deployment immediately, the time for us to launch an attack is the right time."

The scout didn't say much, and after clenching his fist at Zu Dale, he turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Zu Dale knew that before Yinshi, another battle was about to start, that is, to pull out the secret post of the Houjin sergeant, as for this time, he needed to make a good deployment of troops to attack according to the graphics drawn by the Jiangning battalion scouts, so as to defeat the enemy in one blow when Yinshi.

Of course, his idea still needs to be discussed with Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi, the army has an hour of arrangement time, and within this hour's time, the Jiangning battalion scouts will pull out many secret posts, so that the Houjin sergeants stationed in Songshan will become real blind people, and they will only be beaten.
