Seeing the cavalry of the Tuanshan Army flashing, although Dolgon ordered the army to be ready for battle, the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners were still relieved, and the tension of the previous battle was also a little weaker.

Who would have thought that not long after, there was a large sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the cavalry of the Tuanshan Army actually went and returned!

The Han army flag jumped for a while, and everyone in the soldiers raised their hearts to their throats, but this group of enemy cavalry was only more than a thousand people.

This went back and forth, tossing the Qing army enough - the enemy did not attack at all, but his side was as tired as a dog.

Dolgon also became more and more convinced that the Tuanshan army must have a heavy ambush in front, so naturally he did not dare to act rashly, but waited for Duoduo's reinforcements with an iron heart.

……

The strategy used by Li Li, from the initial ambush, was changed to the current strategy of the suspicious soldiers, and it was obvious that the effect was good, and Dolgon waited for Duoduo in place for a whole day, and only after meeting the division did he dare to go south to Cheongju.

During the whole day of Dolgon's fear, the tense Tuanshan army entered Cheongju City without hurry. There were not many Korean people in Cheongju, because after they learned the news of the Qing army's southward movement, more than seventy percent of them fled elsewhere.

After the 40,000 regiments of mountain troops entered the city, the whole city gradually regained some vitality, but this anger was accompanied by a hint of tension - the tension of the coming great war.

Zhang Zhang "requisitioned" the official office of the previous Cheongju City, and the yamen of this Joseon State was no different from the Ming Dynasty, they all worked in the front hall and lived in the back. Zhang Li even suspected that their yamen might have "plagiarized" my Ming architectural style......

After nightfall, Zhang Li sent someone to inform the cavalry of Chaolu, who had been harassing Dolgon all day, to return to the city to rest. Only a small number of scouts were left to monitor Dorgon from afar to keep track of the movements of the Qing army.

Early the next morning. As soon as the day dawned, Zhang Zhang summoned all the senior generals of the Tuanshan Army to the official office.

The scale of this Qingzhou city is only about the same as a small county town in Daming. The official office is naturally at the level of the county government, with only one main hall and one second hall, and there is no special reception room.

There was no way, the military conference was held in the lobby of the official office, just like a case being tried in the court.

First of all, Yesheng informed everyone about the situation of the Tartars last night, and Dolgon, who was in the white flag, finally waited for his brother Duoduo, and after the two armies converged, there were 15,000 Jurchen cavalry and 20,000 real slave infantry. There are more than 30,000 Han Eight Banners.

That is, the total strength of the enemy was nearly 70,000, half of which were Jurchens. This is different from the previous battles of the Tuanshan Army, which fought with the Tartars before, and almost all of them were cannon fodder, and the Han army flag accounted for more than seventy percent!

I didn't expect that the first battle after entering the dynasty would be such a large-scale battle!

After Yesheng introduced the enemy's situation, everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Li, waiting for Master Zhang to speak. After Zhang Zhang pondered for a moment, he finally spoke: "Yesterday, our regimental mountain army occupied Cheongju City in front of the Tartars. Finally got a foothold in North Korea. Now that Dorgon and Dodor will soon be heading south with an army of 70,000, you can say what we should do in this battle. ”

The generals were accustomed to Lord Zhang first letting everyone express their opinions at the military meeting of the Tuanshan Army, and then discussing with each other. Even debates are just how to decide the style of deliberation by one person.

Soon, everyone expressed their opinions, although there were various opinions. However, the general direction is to focus on defending the city. This Cheongju city is a strategic place in the Korean state, although the city wall is not as strong as the town in the east of the Ming Dynasty. But it is also more than three feet tall, and the Tartars want to attack the city. will inevitably be attacked head-on by the Tuanshan army.

Gao Yuanliang even suggested that Chaolu's cavalry be placed outside the city as a reserve, and if they were killed at a critical moment, they would definitely be able to defeat the Tartars in one fell swoop.

Zhang Zhang bowed slightly, the generals' views were decent, and it was also a feasible strategy. However, the tension is deeper than they think!

Zhang Zhang waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. When everyone was waiting for Zhang Li's order to hold the city, Zhang Li's words were completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhang Li glanced at the generals and said calmly: "This battle is the first fierce battle after my regimental mountain army entered the court, and there is nothing wrong with defending the city, but I don't want to defend the city." ”

Boom - there was an immediate sound of surprise in the lobby!

Originally, the so-called "rough people" such as Pan Batian and Chaolu, once they fought in the past, they would pin their heads to their belts and go up to fight the Tartars. However, after all the generals of the Tuanshan Army learned the knowledge of the art of war and understood a lot of ways to be generals, everyone got rid of the problem of "having courage but not strategy".

Although I dare not say that I am compared with those famous generals in history, such as Han Xin, Huo Quzhi and others, there is an obvious change in the generals of the Tuanshan Army at present, that is, they are pragmatic and calculating.

Isn't it often said in the art of war that "more is to win, less is not to be won"? The current situation is obviously more advantageous to defend the city, so everyone's opinions are very unanimous, but why does Lord Zhang say that he doesn't want to defend the city?!

Of course, Zhang Li knows what everyone thinks, after all, these people have grown up under their own noses, and all the military books that generals learn are carefully selected by Zhang Li and discarded some of the levels that are not good. There are many classic military books, and the most admired one is still "The Art of War".

Zhang Zhang said to the senior generals of the Tuanshan Army present: "This year, our Tuanshan Army has been diligent in cultivating internal strength, and the Tartars have not been idle, everyone knows that the Tartars are now attaching great importance to firearms, and it has reached the point of no return. What we have to do is to destroy the confidence that the Tartars have re-established in the First World War! In the past, Chen Tang said: Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away! I really want it! ”

After a pause, Zhang Li's face flushed a little, and then he said impassionedly: "Everyone should have heard me say this many times, but there is another sentence in front of Chen Tang, I will tell you now." ”

The emotions of the crowd were driven by the tension, and everyone pricked up their ears. With incomparable firmness in his eyes, Zhang Zhang said word by word: "It is advisable to hang your head between the barbarian mansions on the street to show thousands of miles." ”

As soon as the words landed, Gao Yuanliang repeated the words of tension, high-fived and praised: "It is advisable to hang your head between the barbarian mansions on the street to show thousands of miles." Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away! ”

After a pause, Gao Yuanliang only felt that his blood was surging, and his whole face turned red: "We should hang the severed enemy heads on the street where the barbarians live, and let them know that the enemies who dare to invade the powerful Han people, even if they are far away, we must kill them!" ”

"No matter how far away we are, we must kill them!" Chao Lu, Mu Pan Batian and others shouted in unison, and everyone's emotions were very excited for a while! (To be continued.) )
