After listening to Sun Chuanting's strategy of taking the initiative, Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.

With the current situation, taking the initiative to attack is indeed the most suitable choice, after all, Huang Taiji is not a fool, and it is impossible to come to Shanhaiguan to die in vain knowing that they have the advantage of firearms.

Therefore, in order to prevent them from detouring to Mongolia again, they directly chose to take the initiative, which could not only disrupt the strategic deployment of Jiannu, but also minimize the losses of the Ming Dynasty.

Lao Zhu inquired in detail about Sun Chuanting's strategy, and then the two discussed for a long time, during which Sun Chuanting made some mistakes in the details, as well as the shortcomings of the enemy's inconsiderate response, Lao Zhu was trying his best to help him correct it.

In just one morning, Sun Chuanting felt that he had benefited a lot.

And after finally determining that there was no problem with the strategy, Lao Zhu directly appointed Sun Chuanting as the commander, let him command 400,000 elites, and took the initiative to march towards Ningyuan Town.

As for himself, he stayed in the Shanhaiguan Pass, and was guarded by tens of thousands of soldiers in the original Shanhaiguan.

When he learned that Sun Chuanting actually took the initiative to attack, Huang Taiji's face was ugly, because he knew that neither Sun Chuanting nor the emperor who was responsible for controlling the overall situation was a stupid person.

Since they took the initiative to choose to give up the advantage of the city, it means that they have absolute certainty of taking them, otherwise they would not be so big.

And at this moment, in the case of them taking the initiative to attack, they must keep enough troops, so that their original plan of dividing their troops to detour through Mongolia and directly take the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty is impossible.

Although there is an ominous premonition in his heart, at this point, Huang Taiji has no way to retreat.

At this moment, there is only one choice in front of him, that is, to be tough and strong, and directly defeat this Ming army, otherwise they will die.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Huang Taiji decided to send Zilharang and Dolgon as the vanguard, and united the Mongolian soldiers and the Han Eight Banners under Hong Chengchou to test the strength of this Ming army first.

This united vanguard army has 200,000 people, although the number is slightly smaller than that of the Ming army, but as a vanguard army, it is definitely more than enough to test the strength of the Ming army.

And under Dolgon's camp, Hong Chengchou, who had just surrendered to Jiannu for less than a year, was full of sorrow at the moment.

In the same camp as Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who were also in the Qing Dynasty, but although their faces were also a little gloomy, they were not as sad as Hong Chengchou.

Geng Zhongming looked at Hong Chengchou, who was full of melancholy, and couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter, Lord Inspector regrets surrendering?" ”

Although the three of them are all Ming generals who descended to the Qing Dynasty, this does not mean that the three of them will warm each other, on the contrary, Kong Youde and Hong Chengchou are not very compatible.

And Hong Chengchou was the governor of Jiliao at the time of the Ming Dynasty, and Geng Zhongming said this at this moment, obviously mocking Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou glanced at Geng Zhongming, just sighed silently, and didn't say anything.

To be honest, he does regret it now.

The reason why he surrendered to Jiannu was not only because he was afraid of death, but also because he felt that Da Ming's time was definitely running out.

So after he was captured, he suffered for a long time in his heart, and finally decided to surrender to Jiannu.

As a result, he didn't expect that his front foot surrendered to Jiannu, and the back foot of Daming began to change dramatically.

Chongzhen not only got rid of his original impatience, but also began to eliminate treacherous evil, appoint virtuous ministers, lightly punish small endowments, and restore people's livelihood.

made Da Ming, who was already crumbling, stabilize again.

This kind of change made Hong Chengchou a little dizzy, and it was even more difficult to accept in his heart.

Hong Chengchou always felt that the whole world seemed to be targeting him.

Chongzhen's changes, but anyone who can be a year and a half early, doesn't even need to change so much, just give yourself enough autonomy, don't push yourself like you play with your life all day long, how can you not lose the battle of Songjin so badly.

When I was fighting, you pointed fingers and urged you to die.

As a result, after I lost and surrendered, you started the Mingjun mode again, and began to be suitable for monarchs and ministers, and even Sun Chuanting directly turned a blind eye to Sun Chuanting's killing in Shaanxi.

Why, co-authoring is only for me, right? Just wait for me to surrender and you will be Mingjun, right? Don't bring such a trick!

And this is not the most pit, the most pittable is where did those firearms of Daming come from?

It seems that he has only surrendered for less than a year, and a year ago, as the governor of Jiliao, he undoubtedly knew very well what Daming's firearms were.

As far as the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Bureau of the Ming Dynasty are concerned, not to mention the development of new firearms, even the old firearms they can't make well!

At that time, the firearms provided by the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Bureau to the border troops were not only expensive, but also of poor quality.

Therefore, when Hong Chengchou was the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, firearms were generally made in border towns, and he didn't dare to trouble the masters of the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Bureau.

Therefore, in Hong Chengchou's view, the Ordnance Bureau and the Firearms Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty have basically been abolished.

How is it that in just one year, not only the quality of the things created, but also the development of such advanced firearms?

Is there any justice in this world? If Da Ming could provide him with this equipment a year earlier, he would not have lost the battle of Songjin, and he would even dare to directly pick the entire Jiannu tribe.

But now it's useless to say anything, he has surrendered, and now he is already an enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Wise monarchs, advanced firearms, are now used against him.

And the saddest thing is that this war, compared with the battle of Songjin, his situation has not changed much.

Because after he surrendered, Huang Taiji said that he was reusing him, but in fact, he couldn't believe him secretly.

not only was he secretly wary of him, but also let Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming directly set him up.

So although he is now nominally the commander of an army, in fact, he is simply a puppet, and his situation is not even as good as when he was in the Battle of Songjin.

After all, although Chongzhen and Chen Xinjia were constantly urging the battle in the Battle of Songjin, he was also the governor of Jiliao at that time, and he still had the final say in the affairs of the army.

And now, he is just an ornament, whether it is Jiannu or Kong Youde, they will not allow themselves to command the army.

After all, unlike themselves, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming surrendered to Jiannu when they were desperate, and compared to themselves, they had no way out, so they would never allow themselves to betray Jiannu.

"Alas......"

Hong Chengchou let out a long sigh in his heart again, what the hell is going on, he can't figure it out, why is he so unlucky?

It's just that reality doesn't give him time to grieve and mourn, and Sun Chuanting's army has already arrived.

This time in the battle with the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of prudence, the strong man of Huang Taiji broke his wrist and took the initiative to abandon Ningyuan, and then contracted the defensive line and returned all his forces to Jinzhou.

Today, the vanguard armies of Zilharang and Dolgon are stationed in Jinzhou City, while their Han Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers are stationed in Tashan Fort and Daxing Fort outside Jinzhou City.

Compared with the Daxing Fort where the Mongol soldiers were stationed, the Tashan Fort where they were stationed in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was undoubtedly in a higher position, and now that Sun Chuanting arrived, it must be his Tashan Fort that attacked first.

When the three of them arrived at the head of the city, looking at the Ming soldiers outside the city, this time the three couldn't help but sigh at the same time.

Because the Ming soldiers in front of them were full of spirit, with distinct equipment, military discipline, and high morale, they knew at a glance that they were elite soldiers.

But the elite of the Ming Dynasty has long been gone, and the vast majority of these people may just be newly trained pawns.

And the fact that the new soldiers can be trained to this extent can only show one thing, that is, Da Ming spent a lot of money on these soldiers, which is the army that Da Ming smashed out with money.

Looking at these soldiers, they thought about themselves when they were generals in the Ming Dynasty, and their hearts were suddenly full of sourness.

At that time, they lacked soldiers and food, not to mention spending money, and even their salaries were often in arrears in the imperial court.

And without money, the soldiers under his command have no equipment, and they can't even come up with a set of warm clothes in the most difficult time.

So at that time, the soldiers under their command had no military discipline and morale to speak of.

After all, you can't expect a group of soldiers who could starve to death at any moment and have endless fighting spirit to fight for you.

To be honest, in the state at that time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not rebel, and they were already very worthy of the Ming Dynasty.

So looking at the army in front of them that was purely smashed with money, the three of them were full of mixed tastes in their hearts.

Daming finally got rich, and the soldiers finally didn't lack money, but they didn't let them catch up at this time.

And the most embarrassing thing is that they are still standing on the opposite side of Da Ming at this time.

Just when the three of them were full of mixed tastes in their hearts, Sun Chuanting sent someone to send a letter of surrender.

The content of the letter is also very simple, if the three of them lead the army to surrender, they will not be to blame for the past, but they will take away the military power of the three of them, and the three of them will only be rich in Daming in the future.

If they don't surrender, after the city is broken, it will be the death of the three people, and even the family scrolls of the three will be implicated by them.

There was no false promise in the letter, and the arrangements for the three people were explained with sincerity, but this sincerity was full of disdain for the three people.

It seems that whether the three surrender or not is not important to Sun Chuanting.

And in the face of this simple surrender letter, it is naturally impossible for the three of them to surrender, and Jiannu is not completely at ease with them, even if they want to surrender, it is not so simple.

So the three of them burned the letter directly after reading it, and in order to show their determination, Geng Zhongming also killed the soldiers who came to deliver the letter, wanting to prove to Jiannu that they would never surrender.

"The Almighty Soldier King of the Female President"

After seeing that the three of them had already made a choice, Sun Chuanting didn't say much to them, and directly transferred artillery to prepare to attack the city directly.
