Su Tiancheng quickly turned to the topic.

He originally considered letting Sun Chuanting directly command the Datong Border Army, but finally changed his mind, after all, Lu Xiangsheng has been in the military department for so many years, and he is stronger than Sun Chuanting in terms of qualifications and influence, after all, Sun Chuanting's influence is only in the Jiangning battalion. The Datong Border Army is a very important force and must play its full role.

"Everyone, please come to the sand table."

After Lu Xiangsheng approached, he finally saw the sand table clearly.

"According to the news detected by the scouts, Azig led the Tartars and captured Fangshan County, he may have been dizzy, leaving five thousand Tartars and stationed in Fangshan County, and all the people looted along the way were placed here, these five thousand Tartars must have been waiting in Fangshan County, waiting for Azig to come back, or it may be that they plundered too much money and money, which was not easy to carry, which affected the speed of the march, and chose to put it here."

"The army led by Azig has entered the territory of Baoding Mansion, and the soldiers are divided into two routes, all the way to Baoding Mansion, all the way to Xincheng, Xiongxian and Hejian Mansion, it can be seen that their hearts are very big, and they have planned to plunder around Beizhili in an all-round way."

"Azig is very arrogant, wherever the army passes, he doesn't hide his whereabouts at all, it seems that he doesn't care about my Ming sergeant, this is our advantage, Azig wouldn't have thought that we would take the initiative to attack."

"Everyone, look at the terrain, from the capital to Fangshan County, the distance is about sixty miles, the cavalry launches an attack, you can reach it in half a day, Fangshan County is far from Baoding City. The distance is two hundred and forty miles, and Azig led the army and has rushed to Baoding Fucheng, that is to say, Azig's army is far from the defenders of Fangshan County. The distance has reached more than 200 miles. ”

"I have to say, Azig is too arrogant, and this is our best chance."

"Today is June 17, Azig captured Fangshan County on June 15, left Fangshan County yesterday, led the army, and entered Baoding Mansion in two ways, they are basically cavalry, and the speed is very fast. The scouts detected the news yesterday night, and made a prediction that Azig could arrive in Baoding Mansion today. ”

"The white flag indicates the location of the army led by Azig, and the black flag indicates the position of the Tatars left in Fangshan County, you can take a closer look."

"Okay, the specific situation, that's it, I decide. The officers and men of the Jiangning battalion all attacked. Rushed to Fangshan County and annihilated the 5,000 Tartars guarding Fangshan County. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiangsheng was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Su Tiancheng had such a big appetite, and the combat effectiveness of the Tartars was very good. If you want to annihilate these 5,000 people, I don't know how long it will take, if Azig gets the information and leads the army to the rescue, won't the Jiangning battalion be attacked on its back. has great ability, but it is also difficult to resist.

Su Tiancheng saw Lu Xiangsheng's hesitation.

"Master Lu, what do you suggest?"

"Lord Su, isn't this move a bit rash, to be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Tartars is still good, if you want to annihilate five thousand Tartars, the time it takes is not to say for the time being, if Azig learns the news and rushes to help, Baoding Mansion is far from Fangshan County, but more than two hundred miles, all the cavalry led by Azig is cavalry, and it will not take a day to arrive, if you meet such a situation, the Jiangning camp will be attacked by the enemy, it is really difficult to deal with it."

"Lord Lu, your consideration is very reasonable, but the time for the Jiangning camp to exterminate the five thousand Tartars is not more than half a day, if it is more than half a day, it will be a joke, 18,000 soldiers, encirclement and suppression of five thousand Tartars, if it is more than a day, it will not be regarded as the Jiangning camp."

Before Lu Xiangsheng could continue to speak, Su Tiancheng continued.

"Lord Lu, your task is to lead the 30,000 Datong border army to set up an ambush in Dafang Mountain, which is more than ten miles away from Fangshan County, if Azig leads troops to come to help, delay his pace here, after the Jiangning battalion exterminates the Tartars, he will soon meet you, aren't the Tartars very arrogant, and the Jiangning battalion will face them head-on."

Lu Xiangsheng's body trembled slightly.

For so many years, the ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial court, when they talked about the Houjin Tartars, they were all afraid of color, I didn't expect Su Tiancheng to be so confident, he didn't look at the Tartars in his eyes, this is too arrogant, or he is completely sure.

Su Tiancheng did not continue to talk to Lu Xiangsheng, and many officers also returned to their seats.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first battle after the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army galloped to the capital, the first battle will be won, this is the rule, I don't say much about the military order, the brothers are clear, set off tonight, rush to Fangshan County at the end of the day, surround Fangshan County, must take the way of a surprise attack, or that sentence, what the Jiangning battalion needs is to make dumplings, not to catch ducks, everyone remember, enter Fangshan County, there are many people in the county, don't hurt the people, save their lives as much as possible, the scouts have been investigated, the defense of the Tartars is very relaxed, Their arrogance is to dig a grave for themselves. ”

"Qu Qingze, you are responsible for providing information, the more detailed the better, including the actions of the army led by Azig, etc., there must be no mistakes, and the information must be absolutely accurate."

"Liu Tiehan, the brother of the scout battalion, continue to investigate tonight, provide accurate information about Fangshan County, if possible, lead the brothers of the five hundred scout battalion to infiltrate Fangshan County, wait for the army to arrive, and attack inside and outside, you will make a huge contribution."

"Lord Lu, the Datong border army also set off at the same time, rushed to Dafang Mountain, this is the road map along the road, the scouts have been clearly marked, according to this route, the Datong border army is all fortified in Dafang Mountain, there is a proposed location in the map, the specific location, you can determine by yourself."

"This battle is very important, it plays a decisive role in combating the arrogance of the Tartars, brothers must do their best, there can be no luck, I clearly tell you, the Jiangning camp does not need prisoners."

After the task was arranged, Lu Xiangsheng stayed alone.

"Lord Lu, the military situation is urgent, it's too late to set up a banquet for you, please forgive me."

"Don't say that, my lord, my subordinates are here to fight, not to eat."

"Okay, with such a heroic spirit, you and I will work together, we will be able to hit the Tartars hard, Lord Lu fought bravely, took the lead, I am very admired, this time Lord Lu led the Datong border army, set up an ambush in Dafang Mountain, it is a very important move I arranged, of course, the quality of this move, but also depends on the situation of the battle in Fangshan."

"I want to hear about it."

"According to my estimate, the Jiangning battalion is to annihilate the Tartars in Fangshan County, Azig will not believe it, will only think that this is a rumor from the imperial court, the Tartars galloped to Fangshan County, it is certain, they return to Fangshan County, they must pass through Dafangshan, my consideration, in Dafangshan, and the Tartars face to face, don't the Tartars think that my Ming army is weak, then let them see, the real Ming army, what it looks like."

"My lord, what if all the Tartars came back to help?"

"Lord Lu, you are too worried, I am sure that the Tartars will not all come back to help, even if they get the news, the number of people who will come to the aid of Fangshan County will not exceed 20,000, and it is not even led by Azig himself, I am afraid that the battle of Dafangshan will be our face-to-face fight with the Tartars, after this battle, Azig has no time to regret it."

"This, the adults have such confidence, and their subordinates will definitely do their best."

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng say this, Su Tiancheng had a smile on his face, and did not continue to explain, he knew that Lu Xiangsheng would definitely not believe it, and he would destroy five thousand Tartars in one go, and he was also ready to set up a pocket array in Dafang Mountain, such a design was too perfect, beyond Lu Xiangsheng's understanding.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng can't be blamed for this, there has already been a lesson before.

At the beginning, Zhang Fengyi also designed like this, set up a pocket array in Changping Mansion, and was ready to give the Tartars a hard blow, and he also thought about it in this way, but unfortunately the reality of the situation crushed such a naïve idea, could it be said that Su Tiancheng's idea would also encounter a ruthless blow.

Lu Xiangsheng stood up and was about to leave when Su Tiancheng spoke.

"Lord Lu, I have always believed in a truth, there are no second-rate soldiers, only second-rate generals, soldiers use their lives, the three armies are desperate, if you can strategize, take the lead, charge ahead, soldiers in their eyes, remember in their hearts, there is no reason not to work hard, I really believe in you, you can lead the 30,000 Datong border army."

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Su Tiancheng, he didn't know what Lu Dao said, he was really strange, how did Su Tiancheng know about Lu Dao's own affairs, and specifically asked himself to lead the 30,000 Datong border troops and participate in such an important battle, this can be regarded as absolute trust, if this battle is completed according to Su Tiancheng's design, it will cause a sensation in the imperial court.

Of course, he understands more that the responsibility on his shoulders is not light, the border army is generally afraid of the Houjin Tartar, and is unwilling to contact the Tartar head-on, this time, Su Tiancheng's arrangement is completely different, that is, to fight against the Tartar, I don't know if the fight this time can stimulate the blood of the border army.

Walking out of the house, Lu Xiangsheng found that all the officers of the Datong Border Army were waiting outside, and the house where he was resting was next to it.

All the officers are waiting here, explaining that Su Tiancheng's arrangement has long been known to everyone, and they have not shown obvious objections, which shows that Su Tiancheng is powerful, and it is not easy to do this.

Lu Xiangsheng felt even more that he had a great responsibility.

He waved his hand and spoke.

"All the officers of the Datong Border Army, come to my room."

Then Su Tiancheng, who walked out of the house, saw Lu Xiangsheng with all the officers of the Datong Border Army and entered the house, with a smile on his face, Lu Xiangsheng would be even more surprised if he entered the house, because in that room, there is still a sand table, and the terrain around Dafang Mountain is clearly marked.
