The decision has been made, and it is not so simple to really implement it, whether Su Tiancheng's prediction is accurate, whether Li Zicheng will really attack the capital of Kuizhou desperately, everything is unknown.

The battle report of the steppe came.

The Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe won a decisive victory, and the general artillery made a huge contribution, and the Chahar tribe relied on its own general artillery, and when attacking, they had no scruples, but unfortunately their general artillery was too backward. The great general cannons of the Xibe tribe and the Dauri tribe exerted great power, and when the flowering shells blew up their general cannons and blew up their sergeants to the devil and wolf, they realized that the big thing was not good.

It was a classic blitzkrieg, and the Chahar tribe was defeated very quickly and completely.

This battle made the other tribes of the grassland frightened, but also more uneasy, afraid of being attacked by the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, such a victory, but also officially announced, the grassland tribes began to really split, many tribes, began to consider the Ming Dynasty.

Such a result was expected by Su Tiancheng.

He knew that the time for the decisive battle had come.

The fifth day of the eighth month of the eleventh year of Chongzhen.

The 32,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion and the 15,000 soldiers of the white pole soldiers were all concentrated in the Jiangning battalion barracks in Kuizhou Prefecture.

The officers and men of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Chengdu and Baoning had already received military orders, and they also began to set off on the fifth day of the eighth month and rushed to the various places where the Liukou were stationed.

The decisive battle to exterminate the rogues has finally begun.

Looking at the many soldiers standing in the playground, Su Tiancheng was passionate, such a feeling has not been for a long time, and the Jiangning camp has been in Sichuan for half a year. The soldiers couldn't help it for a long time, and they were always thinking about exterminating the rogues.

This time, Su Tiancheng did not speak in person, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Cihong who spoke.

Although Zhu Cihong's voice was a little immature, the momentum of the soldiers and white pole soldiers of the Jiangning battalion attracted everyone's attention.

Governor of Sichuan and official of the Third Division. and the officials of Kuizhou Prefecture, all participated in this battlefield point.

Huang Taiji always pays attention to the progress of things.

The news of the crushing defeat of the Chahar tribe, Huang Taiji quickly learned about it, he almost couldn't hold back, and was ready to personally lead his troops deep into the grassland desert to exterminate the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, and only calmed down under the persuasion of Fan Wencheng.

The dispatch of troops by the Jiangning battalion is the most concerned thing for Huang Taiji, through the intelligence network. Huang Taiji learned that Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, was in command, and the Jiangning battalion was about to send troops to encircle and suppress the Liukou, this information made Huang Taiji ecstatic, and he almost didn't hold it, such an arrangement was also expected by him, and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was noble. It is impossible for him to go to the battlefield in person, and it is unlikely that he will go with the army. You can only stay in the city.

The information from inside the Liukou made Huang Taiji also notice Li Zicheng.

For a long time, Huang Taiji looked down on the Ming Dynasty at all, thinking that these people were a rabble, not much of a profit, at most they were rebelling and making trouble. It is impossible to become a big weapon, and he has not bothered to pay attention to it, but the existence of the Liukou is very beneficial to the Qing Dynasty, to this extent. Huang Taiji thought that the Liukou could support it for a long time, but fortunately, the Liukou was also very competitive, and he made a fuss for more than ten years, which greatly damaged the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

But this time, Huang Taiji began to notice Li Zicheng.

The news from the intelligence network is very detailed, talking about the many rules of the Liukou, some of Li Zicheng's practices deeply touched Huang Taiji, making him feel that this person is indeed not simple, and it is no wonder that he can still persist after the Liukou has suffered many blows.

The so-called heroes cherish heroes, for talents, Huang Taiji has always been respectful, even if it is his sworn enemy Su Tiancheng.

In Huang Taiji's heart, Su Tiancheng's status is very high, stronger than the Ming Emperor Chongzhen, in his opinion, Su Tiancheng is a force to turn the tide of the tide, what Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong and others, compared with Su Tiancheng, there is a huge gap, sometimes, Huang Taiji is even annoyed, Su Tiancheng is such a talent, for what is not Manchurian, for what he has not been able to snar, if so, the Qing Dynasty is not like a tiger wings.

When the Jiangning battalion sent troops, it was also the time when Huang Taiji was busy, and one after another secret orders were issued, and the children of the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Kingdom were ready, and Huang Taiji had his own plans, and he didn't even tell anyone.

Once the Liukou can succeed, can break through the capital city of Kuizhou, and can hijack the prince of the Ming Dynasty, that is, when the children of the Eight Banners enter the customs, at this time, the whole country of the Ming Dynasty is shaken, and the people of the Eight Banners are extremely panicked.

The battle of the Mongolian tribes, Huang Taiji was very angry, showing the posture of preparing for the personal expedition, in fact, his real plan is to enter the customs, relatively speaking, it is too important to enter the customs.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not know the thoughts of Huang Taiji, and everyone thought that Huang Taiji was preparing to conquer the Mongolian tribes.

The most nervous are Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai and others.

Everything is ready, the moment of the decisive battle is finally coming, and after half a year of arrangement, the situation of the garrison of the righteous army has been revealed, and some of them have taken the initiative to reveal that they have gone, and it is not a simple matter to make such a decision.

For a while, Li Zicheng was also very worried, the Jiangning camp always did not move, Su Tiancheng did not seem to be in a hurry, and there was no attack, which made Li Zicheng doubt his plan.

After discussing with Luo Rucai many times, Li Zicheng was finally relieved, when Su Tiancheng served as the governor of Shaanxi, he always paid attention to the lives of the people, and in the autumn harvest season, Su Tiancheng would not disturb the people, even if he took action, it would be after the autumn harvest.

Today, all this has been confirmed.

The Jiang Ning camp is really about to start moving, and it is a nest dispatch.

In the city of Kuizhou, there must be a sergeant, there can't be many for many years, and it would be very good to be able to leave 10,000 people, besides, the scouts who infiltrated the city of Kuizhou were always paying attention to the situation and could always get the news.

Li Zicheng was more excited than anyone else.

Since Chongzhen six years, the rebels have been subject to the Jiangning battalion, and every battle with the Jiangning battalion is basically a fiasco, Zijin Liang, Lao Huihui, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang and other leaders of the rebel army, all died under the hands of the Jiangning battalion, which has become a shadow in the hearts of the rebels, when mentioning the Jiangning battalion, many sergeants are silent, obviously showing fear, such emotions, far-reaching, continue to this day.

This time the opportunity has come, if you can grasp the opportunity, the rebel army can completely turn over.

Of course, the arrangement is very important, reluctant to let the child can't trap the wolf, the righteous army needs to pay a major sacrifice, when the Jiangning battalion enters the Baoning Mansion and Long'an Mansion, the rebels stationed here must have a hard fight with the Jiangning battalion, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out, but all this is worth it, as long as it can capture the city of Kuizhou.

120,000 rebels, left in Baoning Mansion and Long'an Mansion, a total of 30,000 people, these people are not old, weak, sick and disabled, they are elites with strong combat effectiveness, Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion are not easy to deceive, if after fighting, there is no slightest resistance, and they will collapse at the first touch, which has aroused Su Tiancheng's vigilance, and his plan will be in big trouble.

The 90,000 rebels attacked the city of Kuizhou, which was a seemingly crazy plan, the city of Kuizhou was not big, there were land and waterways, the speed of the waterway was faster, and the land route was slightly slower, but the rebels were familiar with the road, and the problem was not very big.

When arranging the officers stationed in Baoning Mansion and Long'an Mansion, Li Zicheng was very annoyed, this is not easy to arrange, what is the ending of staying here, everyone knows the way, what he didn't expect was that Luo Rucai took the initiative to apply to stay.

Li Zicheng even had a dispute with Luo Rucai, did not agree with Luo Rucai to stay, more than a year has passed, the cooperation between the two is very good, Luo Rucai can always think of good ideas, the army to attack Kuizhou City, it is very critical, but Luo Rucai believes that the resistance of Baoning Mansion and Long'an Mansion is very important, and it is necessary to make Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion believe that they have indeed seized the main force of the righteous army, so as to be able to buy time.

Li Zicheng finally agreed.

In the past few months, the preparations have been done very sufficiently, especially the 500 people who came over from Duogandusi, the combat effectiveness shown is amazing, the individual ability is outstanding, and the collective action is even more powerful, which once made Li Zicheng a little suspicious of their identity, the military quality embodied by these people shows that their identity is not simple, but for the success of the plan, Li Zicheng does not count so much, as long as these 500 people can obey the order, like a sharp knife inserted into the capital city of Kuizhou, the rest is not important.

There are also annoying things, that is, artillery and ammunition have not been implemented, attacking Kuizhou City, artillery is particularly important, there is not much ammunition left, it can not play a decisive role, the sergeant may still have to pay a major sacrifice, for the matter of ammunition, Luo Rucai also tried his best, and increased the purchase price many times, but the other party is always prevaricating, saying that he can't get ammunition for the time being, and he is too tight, and he is still trying to find a way and so on.

Fortunately, Li Zicheng is not particularly dependent on artillery, in his opinion, the 90,000 soldiers of the righteous army will definitely be able to take the capital city of Kuizhou, as long as the city of Kuizhou is captured, or even the crown prince Zhu Cihong is captured, it will be a great victory for the righteous army.

All parties are tense and have their own plans, and a big war that will cause a sensation in the Ming Dynasty is about to start.

Who can know that this battle involved all aspects, and the intelligence war played a huge role, and after this battle, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty finally knew the importance of intelligence. (To be continued......)
