Shuttling through the mountains and mountains, Liu Tiehan felt that the body's bearing capacity was almost to the limit, this time the task of reconnaissance was very heavy and difficult to complete, Liu Tiehan personally led the brothers to investigate, that is, he wanted to grasp the most accurate information, he knew very well that this was related to the deployment of the next campaign.

Mosquito bites, hunger and sleeplessness at night are not the biggest problems, he once was in the place where the Houjin Tartars were annihilated, ambushed on the top of the mountain bag, motionless, more than an hour, when the scouts of the Houjin Tartars came to investigate, they were only ten meters away from him, and they didn't find him, Liu Tiehan followed the scouts of the Houjin Tartars, ran close to a hundred miles, and saw the place where the Houjin Tartars were stationed, at this time, he risked his life, using the cover of the night, and reconnoitred for nearly two hours, When the day was about to dawn, he quietly left.

You must know that in the place where Liu Tiehan was ambushed, there were always sentinels and scouts of the Houjin Tartars to reconnoitre.

Liu Tiehan's identity is not ordinary, as the imperial envoy of Zuo Du and the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard, such an identity, if it is exposed and killed by the Houjin Tartars, the impact on the court and the Jiangning camp is not small, the three brothers who followed him are very aware of the powerful relationship, they are always ready, if they are exposed, they give up their lives, and they must also protect Liu Tiehan to escape.

On the way back, Liu Tiehan relied on his iron will to persevere, and for a day and a night, he did not close his eyes, and this investigation was the most important and dangerous one in which he participated in all the investigations. Although the distance is not very far, it is only more than 200 miles.

Seeing Liu Tiehan's red eyes, Su Tiancheng was very emotional, giving orders is a very simple thing, but the scout can really complete the task. Being able to detect intelligence is not something that can be clearly explained in a few words, and the danger is enormous.

"Liu Tiehan, it's hard work, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly."

Liu Tiehan did not sit down. Straight to the point.

"My lord, my subordinates are still standing and talking."

Liu Tiehan didn't dare to sit down, the long run, coupled with the pressure on his thoughts, made him extremely tired, and the three brothers who followed him had already gone to rest, this time to investigate the situation of the Golden Tartars, that is, their group. The stakes are high, and the rest of the scouts can't act casually, and if they are discovered by the Houjin Tartars, it may be a big deal.

Liu Tiehan began to report.

Su Tiancheng's face was very calm, but Hong Chengchou, Bi Maokang, Qu Qingze and others, their faces changed, they didn't expect it. Houjin Tartar really sent a large army, and it seemed that he was preparing to launch an attack on Yongning and Fuzhou. Moreover, the speed of the march of the post-golden Tartars was significantly accelerated. That is to say, when Liu Tiehan was reporting the situation, the Houjin Tartars were marching rapidly, and although the Jiangning battalion had made relevant arrangements, it was in the process. Whether there will be any unexpected circumstances, no one can guarantee.

What the Houjin Tartars dispatched this time was the inlaid white flag among the Eight Banners and the blue flag among the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, which is enough to show that Houjin's deployment intentions.

Liu Tiehan said quickly. There was no mud and water, but in about ten minutes, all the situation was clarified.

Su Tiancheng walked in front of Liu Tiehan and patted Liu Tiehan on the shoulder.

"Liu Tiehan, it's been a hard work, you've made a great contribution, okay, go rest, recuperate your spirits, and get ready to start fighting."

After Liu Tiehan left the Chinese military tent, Hong Chengchou spoke first.

"Marshal, our army has retreated fifty miles, judging from Liu Tiehan's reconnaissance, it is at most one hundred and fifty miles away from Houjin Tartars, Houjin Tartars have accelerated their march, at most one day, Houjin Tartars will arrive, the top priority is to make all preparations to exterminate this group of Houjin Tartars."

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, Qu Qingze followed and spoke.

"Dashuai, now it is certain that Houjin Tatar is in the direction of Liaodong, the focus is on defense, and in the direction of Haizhou, it is to launch an attack, this must be a strategic deployment made by Huang Taiji, and Dashuai's previous judgment is completely accurate."

Su Tiancheng pondered for a while.

"The situation is basically clear, stationed in the direction of Haizhou, is the white flag and the blue flag in the Eight Banners, this is the most elite force of the Houjin, in addition to the Han Eight Banners of the blue flag and the blue flag, Duoduo and Zierharang are both Houjin brave generals, the two are the powerful among the Manchurians, according to what we know, Zierharang is very calm in handling things, can take into account all aspects, Duoduo fights bravely, if the two can form a joint force, it is really difficult to deal with, Liu Tiehan detected, The follow-up Houjin Tartar is the inlaid white flag in the Eight Banners and the blue flag in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, I don't think that's the case, since Huang Taiji has made a decision and is ready to attack in the direction of Haizhou, he will do his best. ”

Su Tiancheng looked at Hong Chengchou and the others.

"There is a situation that can be affirmed, the commander of this Houjin Tartar must be Duoduo, and the Houjin Tartars led by Zilharang are also ready to reinforce at any time, so we are facing all the Houjin Tartars stationed in Haizhou, according to the information obtained by Lao Qu, the Houjin Tartars stationed in Haizhou have a total strength of more than 100,000 people, and we will face the most arduous battle since the establishment of the Jiangning Battalion."

"My consideration, our operational deployment must be adjusted in response, since the Houjin Tartars are thinking of attacking Yongning and Fuzhou and other places, they will not be able to arrange more sergeants to hold Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou, and the 30,000 soldiers led by Sun Chuanting can take the opportunity to attack and occupy Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou, etc., and we will form a pocket array and wrap the Houjin Tartars stationed in Haizhou in this pocket."

"100,000 against more than 100,000, this is a vicious battle, we must be fully mentally prepared, this is like cooking, we were originally going to eat steamed white rice, but the reality is that it may be steamed into a pot of sandwich rice, what to do, then we must have a better appetite and eat this pot of sandwich rice."

"Our vision, don't just look at the more than 100,000 Houjin Tartars stationed in Haizhou, as well as the Houjin Tartars stationed in Liaoyang, if they encounter a siege, the Houjin Tartars in Liaoyang will definitely go all out to reinforce, which makes our pressure even greater, such a situation requires us not only to have a good appetite, but also to have self-knowledge, don't think that through a battle, or in a short period of time, can completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars stationed in Haizhou, this is an impossible thing, But as long as we maximize the vitality of the Houjin Tartar, we can give Huang Taiji the heaviest blow. ”

"The current situation is not easy to come by, and the opportunity is fleeting, it is precisely because of our early preparations that Huang Taiji was fooled, thinking that the direction of our attack is still in Liaodong, we eliminated the vanguard of the Houjin Tartars, and the Houjin Tartars did not arouse vigilance, still advancing, and accelerated the pace, which shows that they still believe that Liaodong is the focus of our attack, and the sneak attack on Gaizhou is just a small force of troops, and they will even think that our sneak attack on Gaizhou is mainly to distract their attention, So they will stick to the original deployment. ”

"The Houjin Tartars have quickened the pace of the march, which is the best proof of this, they are afraid that our small force will escape, or that we have detected their strategic intentions, so it is said to speed up the pace of the march, launch an attack as soon as possible, and complete their campaign deployment, from this point of view, we have retreated fifty miles, which is very correct."

"Through Huang Taiji's arrangement, I also want to remind you that Huang Taiji's arrangement is an extraordinary arrangement, on the one hand, to strengthen the defense in Liaodong, on the other hand, to launch an attack from the direction of Haizhou, Liaodong is the command of Dolgon of Houjin, we want to capture Guangning and Xiping Fort, it will be impossible to achieve the goal for a while and a half, Fuzhou direction, if it is captured by Houjin Tatars, our overall campaign deployment, there will be a major setback, Huang Taiji is thoughtful, two-pronged."

"What we considered before, we still thought that the Houjin Tartars would strengthen the defense in the direction of Liaodong and mobilize heavy troops to Liaodong, and the defense in the direction of Haizhou was relatively weak, which was also conducive to our attack on Haizhou and shake the overall deployment of the Houjin Tartars, but this is not the case now, I am afraid that the pressure on our Jiangning battalion is far greater than that of the border army in Liaodong."

"But in any case, we have at least mastered the deployment of the Houjin Tartar and understood the arrangement of Huang Taiji, this is the most beneficial thing for us, we must seize the opportunity to give the Houjin Tartar a heavy blow."

"Time is very tight, our deployment remains the same, the army is divided into two parts, Hong Chengchou leads 40,000 soldiers, responsible for attacking and exterminating the Houjin Tartars, we must make the most use of the artillery battalion, I take 30,000 soldiers to set up a defensive line in the rear to stop the Houjin Tartars who come to reinforce."

"You must be fully mentally prepared, this vicious battle cannot be ended in a short period of time, we must warn officers at all levels, do not be impatient, with the main purpose of eliminating the vitality of the Houjin Tartars, half an hour later, all the officers of the Jiangning Battalion before the thousand households will go to the Chinese military tent."

The big war is coming, Su Tiancheng became calm again, this is an extraordinary battle, he remembered the famous battles hundreds of years later, and there were also battles in Liaodong, but at that time it was the era of hot weapons, such a battle, and the battle hundreds of years later, had the same effect, but the commander changed himself.

After more than ten years, Su Tiancheng is no longer much surprised, he knows very well that this battle, if he can complete the predetermined goal, Houjin will suffer a heavy blow, and his dominance in Liaodong, including his own strength, will also begin to really decline. (To be continued......)
