Chapter 48: Bloodletting

ps: There are still fifty votes left to 500, and I continue to ask for a monthly pass.

According to the news from the Guanning intelligence station, this time the Houjin Khan met the alliance in Zha Roll Uda, and the Mongolian Korqin, Karaqin, and Khalkha tribes came to the meeting, as well as the Tumut, Bahrain, and Ao Han departments that had been attacked by Lin Dan Khan. The Mongol tribes had the heaviest oath of the alliance, and the Military Command Department judged that Huang Taiji could not use this as a cover, nor would he deal with it perfunctorily, and he would definitely really attack Chahar, at least as far as Xuandakou, and even if the expedition was smooth, the time would be at least two months. Due to the harsh winter of the grassland and the lack of horse fodder, Huang Taiji's Houjin soldiers would return by November at the latest. ”

In the war room of the Fourth Mixed Battalion of Jinzhou, Liu Pojun's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the conference room, and all the officers above the general level attended the meeting, and they understood the overall situation through the meeting, so that they knew in their hearts, and after the general department returned, they would also convene briefings above the captain level, so as to improve the understanding and judgment ability of the grassroots officers.

Under the discipline system of Dengzhou Town, soldiers know what they are fighting for, and they also know that they are being charged, what Chen Xin needs is that each combat unit has a certain initiative, so that they will not collapse when they encounter emergencies on the battlefield.

Huang Taiji was supposed to go out to Chahar in March in history, but he was tossed by Chen Xinyi, and Da Linghe had been fighting for a long time, so he had to drag the march to the beginning of July, and when Chen Xin and others confirmed, it was already the end of the month.

Liu Pojun pointed to the large map on the wall with a bamboo branch, which was of course a very abstract map, because the north of Gaizhou could only be referred to by the nine-sided map of the military department, and it was even more blurry above the Sancha River. "After several days of reconnaissance by our army's sentry cavalry and special service team, Jiannu deployed some men and horses with three flags, namely Zhengbai, Zhenglan, and inlaid with red flags, between Fuzhou and Gaizhou, with Zhengbai and Zhenglan as the most, and the number of Zhenyi is estimated to be 3,000 to 4,000, of which the total number of troops in Fuzhou is about 1,500. Among them were three hundred fishskin tartars. ”

Wang Changfu also arrived with Chen Xin, and when he heard this, he raised his hand and asked, "Did these fish skin tartars just come?" ”

"Most of the fish skin tartars in Jiannu come from various tribes on the coast of Heilongjiang or Changbai Shandong, and some of them have changed to Jurchen customs in the early days, and as for these fish skin tartars in Fuzhou, the special service team interrogated the prisoners. I also get only scattered messages. This year, Huang Taiji sent Meng Atu to lead an army to conquer the Varkha tribe, as far as Ningguta, and captured more than 1,000 men and nearly 2,000 young men and women. Distributed to the Eight Banners to make up for the shortfall, it is not yet possible to determine whether the fish skin tartars from Fuzhou came from this capture. ”

Chen Xin patted the table lightly, "In short, it is a tribe from Tunguska, many of them were forcibly captured by Jiannu to fill the Eight Banners, and they rushed to the front in battle. These people have not been in the plains for a long time, and they are more wild, but there is still a big gap between them and Jiannu in terms of discipline and battle formation, and they are all enemies for us, so we should not be afraid. Liu Pojun, you continue. ”

"Haizhou has a section of Wuzhen Chaoha, and there is another Kong Youde Tianyou Army in Gaizhou, of which Wuzhen Chaoha's attacking troops are up and down 1,000 people, and Tianyou Army is about 1,200. The total number of troops available to Jiannu is estimated at 5,000 to 6,000. ”

Another hand was raised high, and Liu Pojun's face was slightly gloomy. The tone lowered and said, "Mr. Zhong, please speak." ”

Zhong Laosi couldn't sit like Wang Changfu, stood up and asked with a big grin: "Since I don't know the number of troops led by Huang Taiji, how do you know that Jiannu can only use 5,000 to 6,000 soldiers, according to the last military intelligence meeting, Jiannu can use between 40,000 and 50,000 men." There are 20,000 to 25,000 people in armor, my Lin Dan Khan is a bad seed, and Huang Taiji is enough to bring 5,000 people to clean him up, even if the gang in Dongjiang Town can make a fuss and disperse some Jiannu. The number of armor people available for Fuzhou should also be more than 10,000. ”

The other officers in the conference room also felt that what Zhong Laosi said made some sense. The Chahar Mongols were poorly equipped, and their organization and discipline were far inferior to those of Houjin, and it was very possible for 5,000 people to clean up Lin Dan Khan.

Liu Pojun lacks a good impression of this Zhong Laosi, especially when the two are locked up together, Zhong Laosi is keen to fall into the well and sprinkle salt on Liu Pojun's wounds, but this is not the time to worry about him.

"Regarding the number of Jiannu soldiers, it is true that it can only be estimated, and the number of soldiers just mentioned is the Jiannu Zhenyi between Gaizhou and Fuzhou that has been discovered so far, and there have been a small number of people with red flags in Gaizhou. Huang Taiji can only estimate the number of people and horses taken away, and the Military Command Department believes that it is between 7,000 and 10,000, and as for the remaining Eight Banners, it is not possible to assemble in the short term. Jiannu is currently busy with farming, not in a state of assembly, and the end of the Daling River is only four months, their material loss is very heavy, with the Jiannu soldiers and horses to bring their own weapons, grain and grass, before the autumn grain this year, most of the banner owners are reluctant to mobilize their own men and horses, unless there is definite news, and we can do something about this. ”

Liu Pojun was very calm, obviously put in a lot of effort, this kind of combat meeting was very helpful to enhance his prestige, Chen Xin specifically instructed him to be more prepared.

"From the deployment of Jiannu's troops, they roughly know the number of our Jinzhou and Lushun troops, so they deploy between Haizhou and Fuzhou with 5,000 to 7,000 men and horses, and there are post stations and military forts along the way, which is enough to secure the Nansanwei area, because they don't know that we have urgently mobilized 2,000 headquarters from Denglai to occupy an advantage in terms of troops. Fuzhou asked Shenyang for at least two days, and if it was to transfer troops from the north of Haizhou, it would take at least two days to assemble and about five days to march on the road. Before the emergency, the defenders of Fuzhou must determine the strength of our army, otherwise they will lie to Baylor who stayed in Shenyang about the military situation, so as long as they deceive the other side in terms of troops, then they can have a few more days, about ten days, which is enough for us to carry out an offensive operation. ”

Zhong Laosi opened his mouth, "In other words, the reason why we were repeatedly transferred to Pingyang River a few days ago was to confuse Jiannu?" ”

Liu Pojun had a feeling that he was intellectually superior to Zhong Laosi, after all, Zhong Laosi had only reacted now, which made him very satisfied, so he said confidently: "Zhong General is right, these feints have attracted the transfer of Jiannu south of Yulinpu, which can not only fatigue them, but also allow the special service team to determine their number." What else is wrong with Company Commander Zhong? ”

"Nope." Zhong Laosi didn't feel any frustration, and added, "Not for the time being." ”

Liu Pojun glanced at him and continued: "The following is the strength of our army, this time the main force of Chengjianu is not there, my Dengzhou Town will dispatch most of the southern Liaoning soldiers and horses, mainly to attack Fuzhou, only a small number of sentry cavalry will be retained in the northeast of Jinzhou, and cooperate with the Dongjiang Army of Guangludao and Xiaochangshan to harass the eastern coast. ”

"My Dengzhou Town will dispatch four thousand headquarters, the first cavalry battalion, and the Chinese army sentry cavalry, special service team, the fourth mixed battalion headquarters, the fourth battalion artillery team, the guards battalion artillery team, the baggage team and other battalions directly under the battalion."

Who knew that Zhong Laosi did not give up, and raised his hand again and asked, "Deputy Director Liu." Jiannu has already been beaten by us several times, and this time we have so many people, they may not be able to fight us head-on, if they choose to retreat, we can't force them to accept the battle. It is said that in previous years, Mao Wenlong went to fight the autumn wind. Jiannu is also closed to the city. ”

Chen Xin stared at the two people who were fighting with interest, Liu Pojun was obviously more prepared, and Zhong Laosi had been training recently, and it was all a temporary problem. But it's also challenging.

The East Route Army is the light cavalry of the Chinese Army, the 1,000th Headquarters of the Guards Battalion, the 1,000th Headquarters of the Fourth Battalion and the 1,000th Headquarters of the Mounted Infantry, and goes to Fuzhou through the official road. The Southern Route Army is the headquarters of the second phalanx of the Guards and the headquarters of the phalanx of the mixed battalion. ”

Liu Pojun still looks calm, "The two thousand headquarters on the South Road are transported to Niangniang Palace by sea to land, and the bird boats and above the fortune boat-shaped sea ships are docked at Niangniang Palace, and after landing, they go to Fuzhou along the Fuzhou River due south, attracting the Jiannu north of Fuzhou to assemble in the south, and the East Route Army will cut off its way back and destroy the main force of Fuzhou Jiannu. If Fuzhou Jiannu does not move, the two roads converge on the west side of Dongping Mountain and jointly attack Fuzhou. The commander of the Eastern Route Army was Zhu Guobin. Wang Changfu, commander of the Southern Route Army, and Lu Chuanzong observed the ...... with Lord Chen's army......

Seven days later, by the Pingyang River, the cavalry was wading across the river, and there were guarded horses and killers on the surrounding hills, followed by a long queue of infantry. Finally, there was a large number of two-wheeled wagons.

This is the junction of the Fuzhou River and Jinzhou, and after crossing the river, it is the boundary of Fuzhou. After leaving the Jinzhou Isthmus, the land area is vast, and it is impossible to completely shield the reconnaissance of Houjin. This area is an area where the two sides frequently clash with sentry horses, and Dengzhou Town is supported by a large group of soldiers. After the restoration of the state, the Jin army was no longer able to gain a foothold in the vicinity, but it was possible to observe the marching army from a distance, which required the cavalry to speed up and take Jiannu by surprise.

Liu Pojun hurried to Chen Xin's side and reported in a low voice: "I just received the news of the South Road, yesterday morning when the morning dawned, the South Route Army began to go ashore, and the defense line had been established in the afternoon, and more than 500 Jiannu arrived until Shen, and I don't know if there is a follow-up Jiannu arrived today." ”

"Flies are also meat, and five hundred are human heads." Chen Xin smiled proudly, "Breaking the army, this time we are fighting on the vast land, do you feel any feelings?" ”

Liu Pojun said in a low voice: "Be careful, our cavalry is too small, although the scout battle has been dominant recently, mainly in the mountains, our special service team has been systematically trained, and all kinds of armaments exceed that of Jiannu, but after crossing the Jianzi Mountain, it is relatively flat, and our sentry cavalry does not have an advantage." ”

Chen Xin smiled slightly, "That's true, I prefer to fight Jiannu between Jinzhou and Lushun, where the territory is narrow and there is no concern about being outflanked." ”

Liu Pojun said about the terrain around him: "The movement of the army is also difficult, these official roads are in disrepair, it is difficult for horses and carriages to walk, and the speed of people and horses is not fast. If there is a situation on the road to Denglai, we don't have to divide the troops, and we can take the land route with a full baggage team. ”

Chen Xin nodded and said, "We don't want to go to Fuzhou, and Huang Taiji shouldn't be willing to come to Lushun." We can also transport grain and grass by water, Huang Taiji doesn't have this benefit, so I won't repair him on the way to Fuzhou, if I can teach Jiannu a lesson this time, then Huang Taiji will always be unable to help but pull out Lushun, otherwise his strategy will not be able to carry out at all. ”

Liu Pojun smiled and said: "That's much easier to fight"

Chen Xin glanced back at an eight-pounder gun truck damaged on the side of the road, several artillerymen were sweating profusely to change the spokes, and couldn't help but feel emotional: "The head and the city are not important, we just want to prove that we have the ability to harass Liaozhong, in the past, the old slave could not care about Mao Wenlong's attack, Huang Taiji definitely cared, he would be unbearable to us, if he came this way, how many clothes he could exhaust to death at that time." ”

"My lord, the Jiannu people are thin, the output of Liaodong is limited, if they can't loot, they will be consumed sooner or later, if they go out to rob, the troops left in Liaodong will be limited, as long as we prove that there is a possibility of attacking Liaozhong this time, then Huang Taiji can only come to fight Lushun."

"He went out to loot, and we bleed him in the back, how long can he endure it. When he comes to Lushun, we will have to entertain him well. (To be continued.)
