The information of the Ming army's attack on the Daling River was put on the table, Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, and the intelligence showed that the Ming army began to attack in the early morning of April 28, and took Songshan before the time of Chenshi, and began to attack the strongholds on the periphery of Dalinghe City on April 29, but this information, Huang Taiji got the time, was after April 29.

This means that the attack of the Ming army was very sudden, after taking Songshan, Yue Tuo and Kong Youde, who were stationed in Dalinghe City, were temporarily kept in the dark, Dalinghe City was four hundred miles away from Shenyang, according to the requirements of wartime, one day and one night, the information had to be sent to Shenyang, that is, at the latest, Huang Taiji needed to get the information before the 29th of April at the latest, and according to the calculation of time, this information was delayed for nearly a day.

After getting the information, Dai Shan, Azig, Dolgon, Zierharang, Fan Wencheng and others quickly concentrated in the main hall, the Ming army began to attack, they need to make a decision, according to the previous plan, within two days, the Eight Banners Army can arrive in Dalinghe City, the rescue, the distance from Shenyang to Dalinghe City, all under the control of the Qing Dynasty.

The battle report in front is not clear, but there are only 2,000 soldiers stationed in Songshan, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, it is impossible to resist, and it is impossible to delay the time of the attack, even if it is very good, after all, the main attention of the Qing Dynasty is still in Dalinghe City, so this attack, no matter how much time it takes to end the battle, has no reference value.

The importance of rescue is time.

The Eight Banners Army has long been prepared, especially Dai Shan, who is stationed in Dalinghe City, after all, there are more than 1,000 Eight Banner Army with red flags, these are his subordinates, let's talk about it. The eldest son, Yue Tuo, is also in Dalinghe City.

But the deployment of rescue is also very important, since the Ming army launched an attack on the Daling River, it will inevitably take into account all aspects, so how to rescue, how to grasp the time, has become the most critical factor to win. Dalinghe City is only more than 40 miles away from Jinzhou City. The galloping army directly attacked Jinzhou City, and it was also possible to launch an attack within two days.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ming army has begun to attack Dalinghe City, and after analyzing it for so long, everything depends on the facts, what suggestions do you have, I want to hear it, the military situation is urgent. When you make a recommendation, keep it simple and straightforward. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you want to start a rescue immediately and directly rush to the aid of Dalinghe City, the effect may not be very good, and the best way is to attack Jinzhou City. Whether it can succeed or not, at least it can completely disrupt the deployment of the Ming army. Su Tiancheng served as the governor of Jiliao, this is the first battle, it must be all out, and there will not be many Ming troops stationed in Jinzhou. ”

After encountering things, Dai Shan's thinking is very clear, and his analysis is good. Everyone agrees.

But Huang Taiji has his own ideas.

"What the second brother said is reasonable, my consideration is that the Ming army has just launched an offensive, and the momentum must be very strong, and Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion. Having achieved so many victories, such a simple arrangement, will not be ignored, if Jinzhou City is guarded by a large army, the attack of the Eight Banners Army has suffered a setback, wouldn't it be possible to take care of both sides, the most unfavorable situation is that the Ming army took Dalinghe City, and our Eight Banners Army was sandwiched between Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, which was more than 40 miles away, and the Ming army stationed in Guanningjin attacked with a nest, wouldn't it cause greater casualties. ”

As soon as Huang Taiji's words were finished, Azig spoke.

"Your Majesty, my brother thinks that this situation will not appear, the Ming army attacked Dalinghe City, relying on the city and favorable terrain of Dalinghe City, and wanted to take it down, it is not a matter of a while, over the years, Dalinghe City has been repaired several times, indestructible, and the rescue of the Eight Banners Army can rest assured that the bold attack on Jinzhou City, if the Ming army comes back, the Han army stationed in Dalinghe City can take advantage of the situation to attack, so that the Ming army will be able to win a big victory."

Huang Taiji glared at Azig.

"Twelfth brother, the battle needs to be prepared for the worst, so that the best deployment can be made, the situation you said does exist, but if the deployment is improper, there is the situation I said, what should I do."

Azig looked at everyone, lowered his head and stopped talking, no matter what, the fiasco in Chongzhen's ninth year was still the biggest pain in his heart, although Huang Taiji did not reprimand too much, but he must have an opinion.

Dorgon finally spoke.

Dolgon is a recognized general of the Qing Dynasty, on the wisdom and courage of the battle, except for Huang Taiji, he must be counted, whether it is in command, deployment, or in leading the charge, Dolgon is very powerful, and Huang Taiji is the most assured.

"Your Majesty, my brother thinks that the rescue is like fighting a fire, it must start as soon as possible, the Ming army attacked Dalinghe City, in the initial stage, the momentum must be strong, and Su Tiancheng has not been in Liaodong for a long time, so he must want to achieve victory, in this case, the Eight Banners Army I rescued can avoid its edge, please look at it, the brother thinks that Songshan is the key."

Dolgon pointed to the map, and Huang Taiji's eyes lit up.

"Brother Chen thinks that the measures to attack Jinzhou can not be implemented for the time being, since Su Tiancheng decided to attack Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City must be tightly garrisoned, if it is a direct attack on Jinzhou City, I am afraid it will also cause a protracted war, in this case, my Eight Banners Army is far away from the station, and there will be difficulties in source supply, I am afraid that it will fall into a disadvantageous situation, so my brother thinks that occupying Songshan and cutting off the grain route of the Ming army is probably the best way."

Huang Taiji nodded frequently, the army led by Su Tiancheng, the number reached more than 100,000 people, the consumption was very large, and the food supply must not be less, this is the lifeline of the army, once this line is cut off, the Ming army will immediately be on the verge of collapse, and the Dalinghe City was taken back then, that is, because the supply of Dalinghe City was cut off.

Zilharan also spoke.

Zilharang is Nurhachi's own nephew, Huang Taiji's cousin, adopted by Nurhachi, regarded as his own, when the Qing Dynasty was established, he was named Prince Heshuo Zheng, one of the four princes. Jilharang's life experience is very special, his father Shulhaqi is Nurhachi's younger brother, was killed by Nurhachi, at that time, Jilhalang was already twelve years old, strictly speaking, Jilharang and Nurhachi, Huang Taiji since they are close relatives, but also enemies, there is a layer of grudge, Jilhalang's brother Amin, because he is called Hengbahu, disobeyed Huang Taiji, was arrested and imprisoned by Huang Taiji.

Zilharang is generous by nature and cautious, deeply appreciated by Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, and his relationship with the irascible Amin is not very good, in terms of choice, Zilharang resolutely decided to fully assist Huang Taiji.

So his ending is completely different from Amin.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers think that Prince Rui's suggestion is feasible, it can curb the grain route of the Ming army, stick to Songshan, and will give the Ming army a huge blow, so that the Ming army can avoid the edge of the Ming army, Songshan is more than 20 miles away from Dalinghe City, which is convenient for reconnaissance of the situation of Dalinghe, and the Eight Banners Army can grasp the situation at any time, and can also make appropriate adjustments, once it is found that the Ming army has signs of collapse, it can launch an attack."

Huang Taiji's thinking is basically mature, but Fan Wencheng has not yet spoken.

When it came to fighting the Ming army, Huang Taiji paid great attention to soliciting the opinions of Han Chen, of whom Fan Wencheng was the most crucial minister.

Fan Wencheng also knew that he had to speak.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the attack on Songshan is the most sensible and effective measure, the Ming army is attacking Dalinghe City on a large scale, it is impossible to station too many troops in Songshan, and it is impossible to leave an elite army, the slave thinks that the Ming army is divided into two parts: the Jiangning battalion and the border army, although Su Tiancheng is under unified command, but in a short period of time, it is difficult to coordinate, and the border army stationed in the Guanning Jin defense line has been accustomed to garrisoning the city for many years, and is not used to attacking rashly, and there must be a place for omissions, so my Eight Banners Army is stationed in Songshan, can give the Ming army a huge threat, although the Jiangning battalion is very prestigious, but if it is dragged down by the border army, the combat effectiveness will also be greatly reduced. ”

After Fan Wencheng spoke, Huang Taiji had to make a decision.

"Your opinion is very good, I have decided, my Eight Banners have already been waiting for the day, ready to go, the Ming army has launched an attack on my Dalinghe City, we must rush to help, Dalinghe City, for my Great Qing Kingdom, it is very important, three years, it should also be let the Ming army know that the Tao is powerful, on the second day of the fifth month, 100,000 children of the Eight Banners rushed to the aid of Dalinghe City, the primary goal is to occupy Songshan, completely cut off the grain route of the Ming army, and then stick to Songshan."

The hall is very quiet, no one would have thought that Huang Taiji sent an army of 100,000, this is a big move, now is the season of green and yellow, there are still a few months to buy grain, and it takes great courage to decide to send an army of 100,000.

The rest is a question of who commands.

"Prince Rui Dolgon is the commander of the army, and he has the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, hmph, didn't Su Tiancheng send 150,000 Ming troops, I will send 130,000 troops, and see what the final outcome is."

The manager has been decided, and there are some specific issues left, which are all matters to be explained separately.

Over the years, the Qing Dynasty was trapped by the Guanningjin defense line, has not been able to be stretched, Liaodong's territory is limited, it is impossible to develop on a large scale, North Korea has surrendered, even if the Eight Banners Army enters the customs, it must always think of the Ming army stationed in Guanningjin to prevent the situation of being flanked by the front and back, this time, Huang Taiji sent 100,000 troops to reinforcements in one breath, I have to say, this time is not only reinforcements, it is another decisive battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, if it can destroy the main force of the Jiangning battalion and take the Guanningjin defense line, It's very likely that it's just a matter of probing.

This is the place where Huang Taiji thinks far-reaching, and it is also the place where Huang Taiji is really atmospheric. (To be continued......)
