"Report to the chief, there are about 1,000 horsemen from Jianyu coming west, led by Mongolian herdsmen, who should have come to our eagle's beak ditch." Kang Quanan said to Hu Guangsheng with a serious expression.

With the telescope as a sharp weapon, it is not difficult to distinguish between the Jianju and the Mongolian herdsmen in the distance.

At this time, in the Juyi Hall, only Hu Guang was there. When he heard this, his brow furrowed.

A radius of several hundred miles can be regarded as being cleared by a strong wall. The army to which the Heavenly Army belongs, the common people, etc., all hid in the Naturalization City or the Eagle's Beak Ditch. Jianyu can still have a familiar herdsman to lead the team, and it can only be the herdsmen of the Chahar Department.

Hu Guang quickly figured this out, looked up at Kang Quanan and asked, "Is it Jianyu who has increased his troops?" ”

"Yes, Chief." Even if Hu Guang didn't ask, Kang Quanan would immediately tell him, "Judging from the flag, it's Dolgon." ”

He deliberately said Dorgon's name, because he had heard the chief say that this Dolgon must be paid attention to.

Hu Guang sat up slightly straighter, his expression became serious, and then asked carefully: "Tell me more about the battle situation in Naturalization City." ”

"Dolgon must have arrived at night last night, and in the early hours of the morning, the Jianyu suddenly launched a general attack from all sides of the city at the same time. However, there were explosive packs and mines buried under the naturalized city, and the Jianyu suffered a lot of losses, so they did not dare to storm and retreated to the east bank of the Heihe River. "Kang Quanan is experienced, and he monitored from afar, so he guessed the situation.

Hu Guang heard this, and was thinking about it, but saw Tana break in like a gust of wind. Before he arrived, he said loudly in an excited tone: "Xianggong, there is a Jianyu coming at us!" ”

After finishing speaking, he saw that Kang Quanan was also there, and he blushed slightly.

The lookout post at the top of the cliff saw the Jianyu army and sent someone to deliver the message, only to meet Tana. She thought that Hu Guang was the only one in the Juyi Hall. He shouted what he called in private.

Hu Guang smiled and said to Kang Quanan first: "You go to rest first, and you will have a task tomorrow." ”

After a hundred miles of travel, Kang Quanan rushed back in front of the Jianyu army, and he was indeed a little tired. However, he was a little strange that the Jianyu army was blocking the valley mouth. Can you still go on a mission?

However, he clearly felt at this time that the chief and his wife had something to say, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart, saluted and went back to rest.

As soon as Tana saw that there were no outsiders, she sat next to Hu Guang and said eagerly: "Xianggong, Jianyu sent them to the door, so I will clean them up fiercely, right?" ”

Hu Guang smiled when he heard this, knowing that she was holding back in the base. I can only listen to the Naturalization City call the Heavenly Army and Jianyu to fight a tough battle, and I am a little unwilling.

"How do you clean up, just rush out and fight with Jianyu?" Hu Guang looked at Tana and asked rhetorically.

"Let them in and fight." Tana looked a little indifferent, and immediately added, "But it's okay to go out and fight directly, anyway, I have been training them, and those people under my command are worried about their lack of military merit!" ”

Hu Guang shook his head with a smile, and patiently analyzed his wife: "Jianyu is used to fighting. And he's a good player. They will not see that the terrain of the eagle's beak ditch is dangerous, and they are arrogant enough to attack and send them to death. ”

Speaking of which. He paused, then took a step back and said, "Even if they wanted to, there was a Chahar guide, and I am afraid that they would be reminded." And if we were to kill them, what would be your estimate of casualties on both sides? ”

When Tana heard this, she knew that she was afraid that the Heavenly Army would lose too much. But if you open your mouth and say it, it can be done at a very small price. Winning the battle on the grassland, she can't say anything. In desperation, I had to ask, "You can't do nothing, right?" ”

Hu Guang smiled when he heard this, looked at the sky outside, then turned his head to look into his wife's eyes and said, "Dolgon only sent a thousand to ride over." I think it's just a matter of seeing what happens here. If we had a lot of people, they would probably have run. There are few men and horses, but they are happy that we will fight them. ”

Speaking of this, he reached out and patted Tana's hand on the table and said, "You, it's better to train your subordinates with peace of mind, and train our reserves as soon as possible." I estimate that in less than half a year, there will be a big battle with Jianyu. At that time, you have to fight! ”

Helpless, a little frustrated, Tana got up and walked out. But she had only walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned around, and said with a hint of expectation on her face: "Why don't you steal the camp at night?" ”

"Stealing camps?" Hu Guang repeated, thinking in his heart.

While Tana was waiting for Hu Guang's reply, she thought about it and felt that it was very possible to defeat this thousand Jianyu, and she couldn't help but smile on her face.

But who knew that Hu Guang still shook his head, she was anxious when she saw it, and immediately asked: "I am sure, I will definitely be able to defeat Jianyu!" ”

"That's not what it meant." Hu Guang took Tana's hand and asked her to sit down before continuing: "I thought about it just now, unless you can annihilate these more than 1,000 horsemen, it is not worth it. ”

"What?" Tana was surprised to hear it, "Annihilation, it's impossible. But isn't it also a big victory to kill more than half of him? ”

Hu Guang nodded and said with a smile: "This is indeed a big victory, but it will not help the overall situation, but will expose the strength of our Heavenly Army." After all, the battle is to serve the strategy, at least for the time being, and the Jianyu do not know much about us. Even from the Chahar side, they don't know how many troops we have. And that's where our advantage comes in. ”

Tana frowned, a little confused. She had heard Hu Guang talk about the concepts of strategy and campaign before, but they were still relatively vague.

Hu Guang was patient and continued to explain: "Let Jianyu not understand our bottom and underestimate us as the Heavenly Army. In this way, when there is a major war, we can suddenly show our strength, we can surprise and attack them unprepared, fight a big victory, and make Jianyu suffer a big loss! ”

When he said this, he turned the topic back and said: "If it is just to defeat the thousand riders outside, it will not be cost-effective for the current Jianyu to not hurt the muscles and bones and expose our strength." ”

This time, Tana kind of understood. But it is clear that she can't fight the outside Jianyu, but it still makes her a little regretful.

"Okay then, I'll train them as soon as possible." Tana turned to walk out, but when she went out, she came back with a message, "Shall I go see the head office?" ”

According to Hu Guang's plan, after the eldest brother finished this war, he would expand the organization and strive to set up two field corps.

Most of the people in the heavenly army are young and middle-aged, and there are many herdsmen. The previous policy of military merit made them very willing to join the army, especially the field army. For this reason, everyone trains seriously, and no one is perfunctory.

In this case, even if the field army and some local troops are in the city of Naturalization. According to the combat power of the eagle's beak ditch at this time, it is not difficult to defeat the outside Jianyu. (To be continued.) )
