After visiting the Franco cannon, Li Yuntian led Zhao Yong and other senior generals of the Ming army to the conference hall, preparing to announce the decisive battle with the Mongol army in Hupi Camp Yicheng.

The Mongol army of the Tiger Skin Camp Post City can spend time in Liaodong leisurely, but Li Yuntian can't waste his time in vain, he not only has to deal with the battle situation in Liaodong but also deal with the menacing Arutai, so he must take the Mongolian army in the Tiger Skin Camp Post City, otherwise he will not take the trouble to transfer the only two artillery battalions of the Xiaowu Army to Liaodong.

In the conference hall, the senior generals of the Ming army wearing different costumes sat on both sides of the hall, looking intently at Li Yuntian, who was sitting at the top of the hall, waiting for Li Yuntian to speak.

Zhao Yong and Yang Wei, as the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, naturally have a noble status, and they sat on the seats left and right of Li Yuntian, with very indifferent expressions, Li Yuntian had already discussed with the two of them about the battle with the Mongolian army in the Tiger Skin Camp Post City.

Different from the Ming generals of Halbara, Mengge Timur and Liaodong Dusi, Gu Liyu, Zhao Jing, Pei Jun and the Ming generals who were rescued by Li Yuntian and captured with Emperor Xuande's northern expedition showed excited expressions on their faces, and when Li Yuntian asked everyone to visit the artillery camp, Gu Liyu and others had already guessed that Li Yuntian was going to make a move against the Mongolian army in the tiger skin camp post city.

Although the news of Emperor Xuande's defeat in the Northern Expedition was tightly sealed by Li Yuntian, especially the absolute secrecy of the Mongol and Jurchen chieftains, Pei Jun and Zhao Jing, as the highest-ranking generals in Liaodong, already knew about this matter and naturally knew the severity of the current situation.

Therefore, Gu Liyu, Pei Jun, Zhao Jing and others had long expected that Li Yuntian would not delay time with the Mongol army of Hupi Camp Post City, and would definitely find a way to fight to the death with the Mongol army of Tiger Skin Camp Post City in order to reverse the unfavorable situation for the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why the senior generals of the Ming army in the hall wore military uniforms of different costumes was because the troops in Li Yuntian's hands were divided into four parts, namely the Xiaowu Army, the Liaodong Ming Army, the Jurchen soldiers and the Mongolian soldiers, and the military uniform system of each part was different.

It's really surprising to say that the main force that Li Yuntian used to fight the Mongol army in the tiger skin camp was not the Xiaowu army and the Liaodong Ming army, but the Jurchen soldiers and Mongolian soldiers.

The Jurchen and Mongol soldiers in Shenyang City had exceeded 30,000, while the Xiaowu army had only more than 18,000 people, nearly twice the number of the Xiaowu army.

Moreover, due to the limited mobility of the musket battalion and the attached spear battalion in the Xiaowu army, they could not participate in the melee and had a limited role on the battlefield, and Li Yuntian had two or three thousand Xiaowu troops around him, so there were only about 10,000 Xiaowu troops who could fight with the Mongolian army on the battlefield.

Although Li Yuntian's Xiaowu army had 23,000 people, they were not all deployed in Shenyang City, and a total of 5,000 people were stationed in Kaiyuan City and Yinzhou City to ensure the stability of Li Yuntian's rear.

In this way, the forces that Li Yuntian used to fight the Mongol army were 20,000 Jurchen soldiers, 12,000 Mongol soldiers and 10,000 Xiaowu troops, and the 20,000 Liaodong Ming troops in Shenyang City were used as reserves in Li Yuntian's hands.

It is worth mentioning that although the city of Shenyang is known as 15,000 defenders, the real strength is only more than 10,000 people, and the empty amount is nearly 30 percent.

Therefore, among the 20,000 Liaodong Ming troops in Shenyang City, more than 12,000 people came from Kaiyuan City, and their combat effectiveness and morale were obviously one grade higher than the defenders of Shenyang City.

This made the situation of the Ming army in Shenyang City and the Mongol army in Hupi Yingyi City very similar, although the strength of both sides was around 70,000, but the strength used to charge into battle was only 40,000 or 50,000, Li Yuntian relied on 42,000 Xiaowu army, Mongolian soldiers and Jurchen soldiers, and the Mongolian army relied on 50,000 Mongolian soldiers.

However, the combat effectiveness and morale of the 20,000 Liaodong Ming troops in Shenyang City were higher than the 20,000 Mongolian servant troops in the Tiger Skin Camp Post City.

"You must already know that there are 70,000 Northern Yuan soldiers in the Tiger Skin Camp Post City opposite, and if you want to stop the pace of our army moving south, this official has already obtained the latest battle report, and the loyal prince led an army of 150,000 to fight with the Northern Yuan in front of Shanhaiguan, and he is about to win."

After glancing around at the generals present, Li Yuntian said in an orderly and deep voice, "This official wants to ask you, do you want to share the exploits of destroying the Northern Yuan soldiers of the Tiger Skin Battalion Post City with the army of the Loyal Guogong, or do you want to get this merit alone?" ”

"My lord, this dish is not enough for us to stuff our teeth, how can we share it with others?" As soon as Li Yuntian's words fell, Brother Meng's Timur said with a big grin.

Among the leaders of the Jurchen tribes, Li Yuntian attached the most importance to the fierce brother Timur, so he secretly supported the fierce brother Timur, so that the fierce brother Timur gradually suppressed the chieftain Li Manzhu of the Jianzhou Jurchen Huoer Abe, and then controlled the Jianzhou Jurchen troops, which was naturally high-spirited at this time.

Brother Meng, Timur, was a smart man, how could he not see that Li Yuntian wanted to win the battle exploits of the Mongol army in the Tiger Skin Camp Yicheng, so he was the first to speak and echo.

Li Yuntian couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, if there were a few more leaders of the Jurchen tribes who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty like Mengge Timur, then I am afraid that the number of Jurchen soldiers in his hands would be doubled now, instead of deliberately preserving his strength.

"My lord, Liaodong is our territory, how can we let others take advantage?"

"There are not more Northern Yuan soldiers in the Tiger Skin Battalion than us, as long as the Lord gives an order, he will lead the troops to level the Tiger Skin Battalion!"

"We worked hard from Kaiyuan to Shenyang, and we can't give such a big credit to others?"

"My lord, we can't let them pick peaches, let's fight the tiger skin camp!"

"Don't hide it from your lordship, you still want to fight for a knighthood, your lord can't give such a big credit to others!"

……

The generals at the scene then shouted nonsense, after experiencing the two big victories in Qingfeng Valley and Yinzhou City, everyone was in high spirits, and the Mongolian army of the Tiger Skin Battalion was not scared, plus Li Yuntian transferred the Fran machine gun, so he was full of confidence in defeating the Mongolian army of the Tiger Skin Camp Yicheng, and no one wanted to share such a great credit with the reinforcements from Guannei.

Seeing that the generals at the scene were excited, Li Yuntian smiled and pressed down his hand, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and the generals looked at Li Yuntian in unison and waited for him to come up with an idea.

"Since everyone doesn't want to let go of the battle exploits in front of them, then this official will follow the will of the people and send troops to attack the Tiger Skin Battalion!" Under the gaze of everyone, Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, if you can't conquer the Tiger Skin Camp this time and be robbed of this merit by the reinforcements of the Duke of Zhongguo, I will have no shame to meet the emperor at that time, I hope you will work together to take the Tiger Skin Camp, and this official will definitely ask you for credit to the emperor!" ”

"We will do our best to live up to the high expectations of adults." Hearing this, everyone present got up one after another, bowed to Li Yuntian, and bowed down excitedly and said.

"Master Hou, you must have had a sulk in your heart last year in Daning City, and this official asked you to take this sulk out this time." Seeing this, Li Yuntian bowed slightly, and looked at Zhao Yong with a smile, "You and Yongping Bo led the soldiers of the battalions under him to ambush in Yunshan Town, five miles south of the Tiger Skin Camp, and the Northern Yuan soldiers will definitely flee after being defeated, and they must be annihilated in Yunshan Town at that time!" ”

"Don't worry, Lord Deputy Chief Soldier, we will not let go of those Northern Yuan rout!" When Zhao Yong heard this, he knew that Li Yuntian was giving him and Yang Wei and other captured Ming army generals credit, and it was much easier to ambush and defeat the soldiers than to fight with the Mongolian soldiers on the battlefield, so he bowed to Li Yuntian gratefully and said, Yang Wei and other captured Ming army senior generals also bowed.

Zhao Yong and Yang Wei and other captured Ming generals are now Ming generals who followed Antai Hou Liang Kun to lead troops to reinforce the Ming army in Liaodong, but they were ambushed by Mongol soldiers in Daning City and became prisoners.

Li Yuntian actually wanted to hide the identities of Zhao Yong, Yang Wei and others, but after all, many people in Qingfeng Valley knew that Zhao Yong and others were prisoners, and Li Yuntian wanted to win over Zhao Yong and others to make them atone for their crimes, so he found such a reasonable excuse, and as a result, he hid it from everyone.

Because Zhao Yong and Yang Wei and other captured Ming army generals were people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Li Yuntian handed over the command of the Liaodong Ming Army to them, including Zhao Jing and Pei Jun, and the 20,000 Liaodong Ming troops in Shenyang City were all under the command of Zhao Yong.

"This official sits in the middle army, Harbara, you command the five thousand Mongolian cavalry under your command as the left army, and Brother Meng, Timur, this officer hands over the seven thousand Jurchen cavalry to you as the right army of this officer."

Then, Li Yuntian looked around at the people in the hall, and said in a deep voice to Halbara and Mengge Timur, "There are 30,000 Northern Yuan cavalry in the Tiger Skin Battalion, and the key to this battle is to see if the two can withstand the offensive of the Northern Yuan cavalry. ”

"Thank you, sir!" Hearing this, Halbara and Meng's brother Timur bowed to Li Yuntian and thanked him.

"Although the strength of the Northern Yuan cavalry has the upper hand, you don't have to worry, this officer will transfer the musket battalion and artillery battalion to help in the battle, which will definitely make the Northern Yuan cavalry army feel very confused."

After muttering for a while, Li Yuntian looked at Halbara and Meng's brother Timur quietly, "Wang'er and the others bravely attacked and defeated them in one fell swoop!" ”

"Go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will definitely live up to the high expectations of adults!" Halbara and Meng's brother Timur both bowed to Li Yuntian and replied in a loud voice.

"General Gu, you lead your subordinates to the rear army, once the left army and the right army are entangled with the Northern Yuan cavalry, immediately launch an attack on the enemy's foot soldiers, and be sure to take the tiger skin camp in one go!" Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, and then his gaze fell on Gu Liyu's body.

"Obedience!" Gu Liyu bowed his hand to Li Yuntian and bowed in response, he not only had the Xiaowu army in his hands, but also the Jurchen and Mongolian foot soldiers, which he used to take advantage of the chaos to attack the tiger skin camp post city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the war in Liaodong is coming to an end, I hope you will seize this opportunity to make contributions, as long as you win this battle, you will be promoted to a knight just around the corner." Li Yuntian raised his head and glanced around at the generals on the scene, and said loudly and encouragingly.

"Master Xie cultivates!" When everyone in the hall heard this, they all bowed to Li Yuntian and replied loudly.

"Send this letter of war to King An Le of the Tiger Skin Battalion, and five days later, this official will lead the army to fight it in the Tiger Skin Camp!" Li Yuntian then picked up a document on the table, handed it to a guard beside him, and said loudly.

The guard bowed to Li Yuntian and hurriedly left with the battle book, and the battle of the Tiger Skin Battalion, which determined the trend of the battle in Liaodong, finally slowly kicked off in the expectation of the soldiers of the Ming Army in Shenyang City.
