Gaoyang County is only 80 miles away from Baoding Fucheng.

According to the marching speed of the Zheng family's army, this distance can be reached within a day, but Zheng Xunrui thought more, maybe when he arrived in Baoding City, it was the beginning of the war, after all, Du Du's command was 30,000 post-gold tartars, and this battle must be cruel.

Zheng Xunrui has the confidence to win, this battle, he must win a big victory, and even kill Du Du, Zheng Jiajun fought with Houjin Tartar several times, captured Azig and Abatai respectively, but was exchanged for money by Huang Taiji, this time he will not leave a living mouth, Huang Taiji wants to redeem people, and what he redeems is Du Du's corpse.

Du Du is the eldest son of Chu Ying, Chu Ying is the heir of the Great Khan of the Later Jin, and his influence in the Qing Dynasty is also extraordinary, although Chu Ying has offended Nurhachi because of his coveting power, and was beheaded by Nurhachi at the age of thirty-six, but Du Du is by virtue of his own merits, and was canonized as Anping Belle.

Of course, Zheng Xunrui also thinks about being able to defeat Dolgon, and he also believes that the Zheng family army can defeat Dolgon, but this requires precise deployment, this is a vicious battle, thinking about destroying the army led by Dolgon, the possibility is non-existent, and he can only kill as many Houjin Tartars as possible.

The fight with Du Du is crucial, if the Zheng family army is properly deployed, most of the Houjin Tartars can be killed, if there is any omission, according to the speed of the Houjin Tartars' march, I am afraid that most of the Houjin Tartars may escape.

Such a situation must not occur, so how to deploy it is crucial.

Fighting the Houjin Tartars, adopting ambush tactics, the effect was not the best.

After careful consideration, Zheng Xunrui made a decision, this time without consulting others, and made the most important, or crucial, decision alone.

At that time, all the soldiers of the Zheng family army got up. After a hearty battle, the sergeants rested well, and they all knew that more difficult battles were yet to come.

The magistrate of Gaoyang County rushed to Xujiawokeng. visited Zheng Xunrui and also sent some grain, grass and meat.

Sun Chengzong and the magistrate of Gaoyang County left Xujiawokeng at the same time, and they knew that Zheng Jiajun was facing a more fierce battle, and Zheng Xunrui's time was very precious.

Zheng Xunrui only rested for an hour.

Zheng Jinhong and the others entered the tent and saw the map that had been marked. also saw a lot of information sent by the scouts on the table, and then looked at Zheng Xunrui's serious face, with black circles under his eyes, they knew that Zheng Xunrui had made a decision.

"Annihilation of the Han army, we have achieved a complete victory, but this is just a small test, the cruel battle is coming, how to fight and fight, any completely defeat the 30,000 post-gold tartars under the command of Du Duji. I've already made a decision. ”

"The scouts led by Wang Xiaoer are investigating Du Du's whereabouts, and it is certain that Du Du is heading towards Baoding Mansion City, and the marching speed of Houjin Tartar is very fast, that is to say, there is almost no time left for us to deploy."

"In that case, let's have a face-to-face fight with the Houjin Tartars."

Speaking of this, Zheng Xunrui walked to the front of the map.

"Gaoyang is only eighty miles away from Baoding Fucheng, and we are now in Xujiawokeng. It was only seventy-two miles away from the city of Baoding, and in this battle, Zheng's army captured a lot of horses and carriages, which could speed up our march. I estimate that the army will set off at the end of the day, and will arrive at Baoding Fucheng around noon, where we will encounter the Houjin Tartars, which requires information detected by the scouts. ”

In view of this, Zheng Jiajun thought of using the combat method of ambush warfare to deal with the Houjin Tartars, and this possibility no longer existed. During the march of the Houjin Tartars, a large number of scouts will also be dispatched, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Han army, so the Zheng family army must concentrate and seriously deal with the upcoming battle. ”

"How to fight, I have been thinking for a long time, from the information we have, Du Du still has a certain combat ability, and he can be regarded as brave, he once led 50,000 Houjin Tartars, defeated the 50,000 former army led by Lord Xiong Wencan, forced the 20,000 soldiers of Miyunwei and Yingzhou Wei to surrender, and almost completely annihilated the 30,000 troops under the command of Lord Xiong."

"But it is precisely because of this victory that Du Du became arrogant, thinking that defeating the Ming army is not a problem, thinking that the Ming army is weak and vulnerable, in such a situation, you think about it, what kind of performance Du will make after meeting the Ming army."

Zheng Jinhong and the others' eyes lit up, and Wen Kun and the others also fell into deep thought.

"Du Du must have led the Houjin Tartars' crazy attack, and would never consider evacuation, or use any other roundabout tactics, he thought that after the Houjin Tartars' charge, the Ming army would have a large-scale rout."

"Our purpose is to exterminate as many Houjin Tartars as possible, and there is one of the most important tasks, that is, to capture or kill Du Du alive, Du Du is the Anping Baylor of Houjin, and killing it will cause panic in Houjin, and it will be able to make Dolgon and Houjin Tartars who entered the pass and plundered cold hearts, and can dispel their fighting spirit to the greatest extent."

"So the battle of the Zheng family army this time is a face-to-face fight with the Houjin Tartars."

"Of course, I won't gamble with the lives of the soldiers of the Zheng family, since we have the powerful Hongyi cannon and Mauser gun, let's let Du Du and Houjin Tatar taste it well, and let them tremble in front of the Hongyi cannon and Mauser gun at the speed they are proud of."

"In this battle, the Zheng family army is divided into the front army and the Chinese army, the front army is 40,000 people, including the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion, which is directly commanded by Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, Hong Xintao and others assist in commanding, and the Chinese army of 10,000 people is commanded by me."

"The front army is responsible for the combat mission of the main attack, with the Shenji battalion as the vanguard, the first to attack, the 8,000 officers and men of the Shenji battalion, all dispatched, participated in the attack, the artillery battalion is the second wave of offensive troops, once the Shenji battalion soldiers beat the Houjin Tartars and fled, the artillery battalion took advantage of the situation to start firing artillery, and the Houjin Tartars who were about to be blown up were scattered, and they wanted to block their retreat."

"The last to attack was the cavalry, and when the Houjin Tartar team was in chaos and lost contact with the upper and lower levels, they decisively launched a charge and killed the Houjin Tartar."

"Hong Xintao is responsible for commanding the attack of the Shenji Battalion, Liu Zeqing is responsible for commanding the attack of the artillery battalion, Zheng Jinhong is responsible for commanding the attack of the cavalry battalion, and Yang He leads the scout battalion, so be sure to capture or kill Du Du alive."

"Zheng Jinhong is responsible for the unified command of this battle, including when to attack, when to launch artillery, when to attack cavalry, all Zheng Jinhong is responsible, and the 10,000 Zheng family soldiers led by me are mainly responsible for encircling and intercepting the fleeing Houjin Tartars."

"Okay, that's the combat deployment, if you still don't understand anything, just ask questions."

Zheng Jinhong spoke first.

"The subordinates implore the young master to command the all-out battle, the subordinates lead the cavalry battalion to be on standby at any time, and the attention is on how to better kill the Houjin Tartar in the cavalry battalion, it is difficult to take into account the Shenji battalion and the artillery battalion, if the fighter is delayed because of this, it is difficult for the subordinates to bear it."

After Zheng Jinhong finished speaking, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, Hong Xintao and others also suggested that Zheng Xunrui should be directly commanded.

Zheng Xunrui sighed, everyone was used to his command.

"Well, what's the problem."

At this moment, Wen Kun stood up and spoke without hesitation.

"Your Excellency's deployment just now, my subordinates listened carefully, my subordinates have a question, the firing distance of the Mauser gun is two hundred meters to three hundred meters, after the cavalry of the Houjin Tartar launched a charge, the soldiers of the Eight Thousand Shenji Battalion can fire bullets in batches, according to the firing speed of the Mauser gun, the Houjin Tartar has no chance to charge to the soldiers, in the face of a large number of casualties, Du Du must have asked the sergeants to evacuate quickly, at this moment it should be the time for the artillery battalion to launch an attack, the power of the Hongyi cannon is huge, When the Houjin Tartars just began to evacuate, they needed to fire artillery shells, but at this time, the distance between the officers and men of the Shenji Battalion and the Houjin Tartars was not very far, and the artillery battalion was not able to control the distance of the shells to the ground to avoid accidentally injuring the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion. ”

Wen Kun's worries are reasonable, the distance of two hundred meters to three hundred meters on the battlefield is nothing for cavalry and foot soldiers, let alone artillery, if it is not grasped well, it may lead to accidental injury.

It was also at this time that Zheng Kaitao stood up, and he had always commanded the artillery battalion to fight.

"Master Wen doesn't have to worry, the shooting accuracy of the Hongyi cannon can be controlled within a radius of 20 meters, the artillery battalion has done many tests, and the shooting error will not exceed 50 meters at most, and the distance between the Shenji battalion and the Houjin Tartar is about 200 meters, and there will be no error when the shell lands."

After Zheng Kaitao finished speaking, before everyone had time to nod, Zheng Xunrui spoke.

"Zheng Kaitao, the problem raised by Wen Kun exists, once the Houjin Tartar launched a charge, is the distance between it and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion always two hundred meters, do you think that the Houjin Tartar is a stake, waiting for the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to shoot, there will definitely be intertwined situations at that time, this is a test of the artillery battalion, in the previous battles, the first to attack was the artillery battalion, this time the combat deployment has changed, the first to attack is the Shenji Battalion, so these details must be considered clearly, do not start the fight, Only then did I find out what the problem was. ”

"Liu Zeqing, Hong Xintao, Zheng Kaitao, you must always keep in touch with each other, the artillery battalion must ensure the safety of the officers and men of the Shenji Battalion before it can start firing shells, this battle, we must give full play to the power of the Shenji Battalion and the artillery battalion, only in this way, can we achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties."

"We defeated the Han army and won a complete victory with insignificant casualties, relying on the power of the artillery battalion, and in the next battle, we must find out a way to perfectly integrate the attack of the Shenji battalion and the artillery battalion, Wen Kun, Li Panlong, Li Yan, Xu Jikuang, after the battle begins, you can observe a lot and find out the best offensive combat method."
