Wu Sangui in history should be very capable of fighting, no matter what kind of record it is, it has not been said that Wu Sangui cannot fight, at most, Wu Sangui is sleek, when fighting, he pays great attention to preserving his own strength, such a situation exists everywhere, after Su Tiancheng crossed, he has seen too much, protecting his own interests, this is a human instinct, it is not a strange thing.

Therefore, the Guanning army should be able to fight, at least in this battle that is not too complicated, it should be able to win.

After taking office as the governor of Jiliao, Su Tiancheng did not focus on inspecting the army, in fact, such an investigation did not have much effect, the strength of the army's combat effectiveness, there are many factors, a few years ago, the imperial court had no time to take care of military salaries, the army in various places, it is unlikely that there is much combat effectiveness, the fantasy of holding a wantless army does not exist, each sergeant has specific demands, relying on officers to coordinate and educate, and unify the thinking of sergeants.

The reason why Wu Sangui was arranged to get rid of the stronghold on the periphery of Dalinghe City, Su Tiancheng also has his own ideas, since he has crossed over and changed history, then try his best to change the fate of historical figures, such as Sun Chengzong, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and others, basically changed, as time goes by, there will be more and more people whose fate will be changed, the most obvious is that the fate of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others has completely changed, and even the dust has settled. The story of the Liukou capturing the city of Beijing could not have happened.

No matter what Wu Sangui's personality is, since he is under the command of Su Tiancheng. So what Su Tiancheng needs to consider is to give full play to Wu Sangui's positive energy and try to avoid negative effects, which is also one of the abilities that leaders must have, arranging Wu Sangui to take the stronghold on the periphery of Dalinghe City, which is not the most difficult task. But it can also be meritorious, once the army takes Dalinghe City, the shock is huge, and the court must be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

It's a pity that Su Tiancheng found that for the first time since the crossing, he took it for granted.

Respecting the deployment of the commanders below is the principle that Su Tiancheng adheres to, but in the face of Wu Sangui's arrangement, Su Tiancheng really can't sit still. The Houjin sergeant stationed in Dalinghe City is ready for everything, at this time, what is needed is to take the outlying strongholds in one go, and create the best environment for the attack of the large army, the number of people attacking is the most critical factor, Yue Tuo and Kong Youde are not stupid. A large number of bases set up on the periphery. The battle line is long, but the personnel are very concentrated, which is convenient for mutual response and coordination, and in such a situation, the collective charge of the large army will certainly have an obvious effect. It is also possible to achieve practical results.

Wu Sangui's arrangement is a little inexplicable.

The attack of a square of 2,000 men, and in turn, did not give the red-coated cannons set up on the city walls the best targets, so that they could concentrate their firepower. Firing at the square, even though it is a solid bullet, can cause considerable casualties, especially the kind of tragic scene created by the solid bullet, which is a very big blow to morale.

Su Tiancheng couldn't help it.

"Lord Hong, I don't think this kind of offensive team is not good, it is best to organize a charge of more than 10,000 people, stretch the battle line longer, try to avoid artillery fire, it can also reduce casualties and achieve good results, although the Houjin Tartars stationed in Dalinghe City have been prepared, but they are still very hasty, this attack, the key task is to take the outlying strongholds, and drive all the Houjin Tartars to the city, can it be said that General Wu does not know the way."

"My lord, the lower official has already raised objections, but General Wu has his own reasons, he thinks that the first thing to do is to test the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartars, and make corresponding arrangements according to the specific situation of the battlefield."

"What is the corresponding arrangement, and is there a specific plan?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head.

Su Tiancheng's face became grim, Hong Chengchou is not good to say directly, his duty, after all, is to be in charge of the affairs of the Jiangning camp, and some things are not easy to say.

"I think the tactics need to be adjusted."

"My lord, Xia Guan feels that something is wrong, the offensive is about to begin, General Wu has already made a good deployment, at this time to adjust the tactics, I am afraid that it will affect the overall deployment, and the effect may be even worse, Xia Guan's thoughts, after the offensive begins, then adjust the relevant deployment, or see how the battle situation is."

"It's okay, it's very important to take the strongholds on the periphery, you and I have to go to the front line to supervise."

"Your Excellency still stays in the Chinese military tent, this battle is under the command of the lower officer, and the lower official naturally wants to go to the forward position to supervise the battle, and the adult stays in the Chinese military tent, and comprehensive coordination is enough."

"Needless to say, let's go and see together, I also want to see how General Wu is prepared."

The army is still three miles away from Wu Sangui's Guanning army, and it won't take long to walk over, but the danger is very great, the location where the Guanning army is stationed is within the range of the red-coated cannon, if the artillery on the wall of the Daling River is fired, the cannonball does not have long eyes, and it is impossible to say where it flies.

When walking towards the forward position, Hong Chengchou was still persuading, asking Su Tiancheng not to go to the front position, just go to supervise the battle by himself, Su Tiancheng didn't say much, kept walking towards the front, seeing such a situation, Hong Chengchou didn't say much, it didn't have any effect if he said too much, he had been with Su Tiancheng for so long, Su Tiancheng's temper, he understood, and it was impossible to change it easily.

Guan Ningjun is very busy and is indeed making preparations.

Su Tiancheng did not alarm Wu Sangui for the time being, holding a telescope and observing the situation on the Houjin stronghold and the city wall.

The role of the telescope is indeed not ordinary, Su Tiancheng saw it very clearly, the Houjin sergeant in the stronghold was ready to fight, and the Houjin sergeant on the city wall was even more prepared, and he couldn't see the artillery, generally speaking, the artillery was placed inside the city wall, unless it was on the city wall, it was invisible.

The formation of the Guanning army is very obvious, each square team has an officer command, looking at the formation of the square team, Su Tiancheng's heart began to sink, the Guanning army of 50,000 people, formed about 20 square teams, which shows that Wu Sangui's offensive deployment has been completely formed, of course, there is also a possibility, that is, after one or two square teams launch an attack, the next attack, five to six square teams will be sent in one go, it is also possible.

The attack of the square team has its own advantages, which is a way of attack often used by the foot soldiers, especially for the regular troops, each square team is a whole, pay attention to the formation of each other, can take care of each other, in dealing with the attack of the cavalry, the role of the square team, has been widely recognized.

Wu Sangui finally got the report, and Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou came to supervise the battle.

Wu Sangui, who was originally a little dissatisfied, immediately changed his attitude and hurriedly came to the place where Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou were standing, and the two adults came to supervise the battle, which showed the importance they attached to the Guan Ning army.

"Lord Su, Lord Hong, the final general is ready, and in a quarter of an hour, the attack will begin."

Su Tian came to think about saying something, but it was too late, only a quarter of an hour was about to start the attack, at this time to change the deployment, I am afraid it would be a fatal thing, in the battle based on cold weapons, the deployment of the offensive is very important, this is not a battle after hundreds of years, relying on guns, artillery, aircraft and tanks, it is too late to adjust the deployment in a short time.

"General Wu, it is very important to take the strongholds on the periphery of Dalinghe City, Lord Hong and I are here to supervise the battle, so the Guanning army must uproot the outlying strongholds in two hours, and the general attack is clear in tomorrow's day, you also know the way, you can't delay time, the sword is ruthless, there are always casualties in the fight, you have to tell the soldiers, take the outlying strongholds in one go."

"The last general obeys the order and will definitely take the outlying strongholds."

"Okay, you go get busy, you don't need to accompany us, you are the commander-in-chief of the attack, focus on the attack, Lord Hong and I will naturally pay attention."

"Well, the last general will send a team of sergeants to protect the safety of the two adults."

"It's not necessary, Yue Tuo and Kong Youde are not vegetarians, if Lord Hong and the sergeants around me are too many, I'm afraid it will attract their attention, and when the time comes, you will be even more embarrassed, okay, the time for the attack is coming soon, you go and command the battle."

Hong Chengchou didn't speak, but he was still surprised.

In this case, as the commander of the whole army, it is normal to care about the battle situation, in most cases, the commander will command the battle on the spot, and make a series of required deployments, and the people below must do it, but Su Tiancheng does not have such an understanding, he even thinks that as the commander-in-chief, once it is arranged, don't easily disturb the below, let alone change the deployment below, unless it is a special case, to give the following full free command, the so-called will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, If the manager intervenes all the time, there is a lack of initiative below.

This aspect is particularly conspicuous in the Jiangning battalion, where officers above the command level of the Jiangning battalion are required to be familiar with all operational arrangements, and under any circumstances, they can make decisions on the spot and make the most favorable decisions, and they do not have to be confined to the requirements of their superiors, and everything must be based on the actual situation, unless there is a special requirement made from above, and they must resolutely carry out the deployment.

Su Tiancheng brought this style to Liaodong, Zu Dashou led the army to attack the Houjin sergeants stationed in Songshan, Su Tiancheng did not interfere, and now Wu Sangui led the Guanning army to attack the stronghold on the periphery of Dalinghe City, although he felt that Wu Sangui's deployment had some problems, but Su Tiancheng still did not interfere.

Hong Chengchou doesn't know whether this style is good or bad. (To be continued......)
