The third day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

At that time, the army of 50,000 was ready for everything.

For example, the officers and men of the artillery and artillery battalions took a lot of effort to remove the ice on the artillery, and carefully wiped the chamber of the cannon with a specially prepared rag to avoid problems when firing. But the cold climate also created an excellent opportunity for the Jiangning battalion, that is, there was no human population around, and the 50,000 troops gathered in the direction of only ten miles away from the central banner of the Chahar right wing, and they were stunned that they did not find the scouts of the Chahar tribe sergeants, presumably at this time, the Chahar tribe sergeants thought that it was very safe, and no one would launch an attack at this time.

Su Tiancheng felt very lucky, which showed that God was bless the Ming Dynasty.

The Mongolian tribe is an important support of the Later Jin, but also the most important support of the Emperor Taiji, the Eight Banners of Mongolia is the indispensable strength of the Later Jin, the Eight Banners of Mongolia were fully established in the eighth year of Chongzhen, and in the ninth year of Chongzhen, that is, the first year of Chongde when the Qing Dynasty was formally established, the Eight Banners of Mongolia became an important force of the Later Jin, and the status was second only to the Eight Banners of Manchu, which was much more important than the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

The main strength of the Eight Banners of Mongolia comes from the five major grassland tribes, namely the Horqin tribe, the Chahar tribe, the Khalkha tribe, the Han tribe and the Tumut tribe, among which the Horqin tribe and the Chahar tribe are the most powerful, before the Mongolian Eight Banners were not completely standardized, they belonged to the unified leadership of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, and then the Mongolian tribes surrendered to the Houjin, and elected the Huang Taiji to establish the Great Qing State, becoming the emperor of the Great Qing State, the Great Qing State is actually the Great Qing State of Mongolia, the magnates of the Mongolian tribes, and the Manchu nobles, It is the existence of the top of the Great Qing Kingdom. After the establishment of the Great Qing Dynasty, the Mengbaqi were scattered among the grassland tribes. At this time, the main task of Meng Baqi was to help Huang Taiji stabilize the rule of the grassland.

The structure of the Mongolian Eight Banners Army is exactly the same as that of the Manchu Eight Banners, but the personnel composition of each banner army is different. There are many and less, there is no norm like the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners established later, the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners, each Niu Lu Ezhen led the sergeants, no less than 300 people, but the Meng Eight Banners are different, some Niu Lu Ezhen, the sergeants under the command are only about 100 people, and some Niu Lu Ezhen. The number of sergeants under the command is approaching 1,000.

To put it bluntly, the number of sergeants in the Mengbaqi is determined according to the strength of each tribe.

Su Tiancheng's decision to completely exterminate the Horqin tribe and the Chahar tribe is also because the Mengbaqi of these two tribes is the most powerful and the most important reliance of Huang Taiji. It is equivalent to cutting off one of Huang Taiji's arms.

Su Tiancheng was very calm.

Compared with Su Tiancheng, He Renlong, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo and others. They all looked a little excited.

The more he faces the big war, the more calm Su Tiancheng becomes, this is his habit, and it is also the magic weapon of his stability.

When the offensive began, there was still an hour left, and all preparations were over.

Minutes and seconds passed.

It's two o'clock. Inside the tent of the Chinese army.

He Renlong clasped his hands into fists, knelt on one knee, and saluted Su Tiancheng.

"The commander, the last general has led the soldiers to prepare, please give the order."

Su Tiancheng nodded. Picked up the arrow on the table.

"He Renlong, as a pioneer commander, you have a great responsibility, and this commander hopes that you will be able to command well, and the success or failure of this battle is on you."

Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo also knelt on one knee.

Su Tiancheng looked at the three of them.

"You act according to General He Renlong's requirements, and you must not disobey, otherwise this commander will not be spared."

At that time, the sky was not yet dawn, the cold wind gusted, and judging from the weather, it seemed that it was going to snow again, but by this time, the weather was good or bad, and it didn't have much impact, and the attack of the Jiangning battalion had begun.

Li Dingguo led 1,000 soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, like a whirlwind, towards the station of the central banner of the right wing of Chahar.

Li Dingguo's task is very heavy, the artillery battalion is still five miles away from the Chahar right wing central banner, and the best firing range of the artillery is three miles, that is to say, Li Dingguo and others must attract the main force of the Chahar right wing central banner to the best range of the artillery battalion, so that the task can be truly completed, He Renlong sent 5,000 soldiers to be responsible for attracting the main force of the Chahar right wing central banner, once the army of the Chahar tribe enters the best range of the artillery battalion, the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion must withdraw as quickly as possibleThe artillery battalion will start firing within a fixed time, and if there are officers and men of the Jiangning battalion, if they do not have time to evacuate, they will be covered by artillery.

This kind of calculated route is the ideal calculation distance, in fact, the real distance will not be so accurate, that is to say, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, who are responsible for luring the sergeants of the middle banner of the right wing of Chahar, the actual route that needs to be passed is close to the distance of four miles, within the range of these four miles, for the five thousand Jiangning battalion soldiers, it is a huge test, but also a test of life and death, the sergeants of the Mongolian tribe, archery skills even exceed the sergeants of the Eight Banners.

Su Tiancheng in the Chinese military tent was like water.

It is impossible not to worry, this operation, the Jiangning battalion went deep into the grassland, without the rear to rely on, without any reinforcements, this is a huge test, from the establishment of the Jiangning battalion, experienced countless battles, such an independent operation, the number of times is not much, fortunately, in the attack on Xuanzhou, Fuzhou and other places, the Jiangning battalion officers and soldiers, accumulated rich experience.

The information of the battle ahead, the herald will continue to report the news, but the Chinese military tent is still ten miles away from the central banner of the right wing of Chahar, which is also a request put forward by He Renlong, Su Tiancheng can not be too far ahead, so as not to affect the performance of the forward commander.

Qu Qingze didn't have so many scruples, and walked to the door of the Chinese military tent all the time, urging the heralds to hurry up to understand the battle situation in front and report in time.

The moment Li Dingguo led his soldiers to rush into the station of the central banner of the right wing of Chahar, he didn't feel very good.

On the Mongolian steppe, there are very few cities, including the station of the Chahar tribe, which is no exception, at most there are some wooden fences, which enclose many yurts in the middle, indicating that this is the station of the tribe, and the yurts surrounded by wooden fences are also the yurts of important people of the tribe, as for the rest of the yurts, they rely on these yurts and are scattered around.

In winter, the tribe is the most concentrated time, because the climate is cold, it is difficult for individual herdsmen to withstand the cold, the shortage of food, and the shortage of forage, the herdsmen must rely on the collective strength to survive the cold winter.

Inside the huge station, quietly, this is too abnormal.

Li Dingguo raised his steel sword aloft and signaled the soldiers to suspend the attack.

Although the horse's hooves are wrapped with cloth towels, but more than 1,000 people charged, the sound is still very loud, at this time, the station should not be so quiet, besides, there are always people who get up early, for what will be so quiet.

Suddenly, Li Dingguo thought of something, and he didn't have time to make a gesture and shouted loudly.

"Brothers, get out of here, we have an ambush among ......"

Before Li Dingguo's words were finished, he heard a cannon sound, countless arrows flew over, and some soldiers who were caught off guard were shot by bows and arrows, and several soldiers fell off their horses, and they definitely couldn't live.

Li Dingguo's eyes were red in a hurry, the task of the vanguard was to lure the army of the middle banner of the right wing of Chahar, if it was ambushed and annihilated by the Mongol Tatars, it would be a shame for the Jiangning battalion, no matter what kind of victory this battle achieved, it was overshadowed, at this time, it was not the time to be reckless, and it was necessary to escape.

The retreat of the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion was still orderly, the rear army became the whole army, the front army became the rear army, and many officers and men quickly turned their heads and prepared to withdraw.

It's a pity that Mongolian tartars are not vegetarian and are prepared.

The fires in front and behind were lit, and countless torches were lit.

The vanguard led by Li Dingguo was completely surrounded.

Li Dingguo's lips were almost bitten and bleeding, when he charged before, he didn't observe the movement for anything, pay attention to the surrounding situation, and what he thought of in his heart was meritorious service, that is, the army of the central banner of the right wing of Chahar was lured out, why didn't he think that it was possible for people to make arrangements.

But Li Dingguo, who was in a hurry, was still calm.

He paid attention to the torches in front and behind.

The torches are a little uneven, which shows that the preparation of the Mongolian Tatars is not very sufficient, Li Dongguo has always been a little suspicious, the Jiangning battalion army came to the Mongolian steppe, this news, many tribes in Mongolia are aware of the way, but which Mongolian tribe to attack first, this news is impossible to leak out, that is to say, many tribes in Mongolia may be prepared, but it is impossible to make targeted preparations.

That is to say, the central banner of Chahar's right flank could not make the most precise preparations, knowing that the Jiangning battalion was about to attack them, they set up such an ambush, waiting for the Jiangning battalion to enter the encirclement.

In an emergency, thinking of this, Li Dingguo suddenly understood, that is, the central banner of Chahar's right flank, which had been prepared for a long time, no matter who attacked, he might encounter an ambush and encounter the situation in front of him.

This judgment is very crucial.

Li Dingguo didn't care about other things, and shouted loudly again.

"Brothers, don't panic, we rush out of the city from the direction we came in, we must rush out of the road, don't look back......"

After shouting out these words, Li Dingguo's prancing horse rushed to the front, facing the rain of arrows, and rushed towards the fire in front without hesitation...... (To be continued......)
