At this time, Ma Wenzhong took over: "Chitose, there will be different ideas in the end. ”

"Say."

"The last general thinks that our army can attack both flanks of Datong at the same time."

"Left on Weiyuan Fort, right on Anton Fort."

"Chitose, the last general thinks that he can add a large army to completely encircle Datong."

Speaking this person is Qi Zhaohu, the current chief soldier of the border town of Xuanfu of the imperial court.

Qi Zhaohu was originally in the military town of Liaodong, but later Zhou Xian sent Hong Chengchou to Liaodong, so he transferred Qi Zhaohu to Xuanfu.

to replace the beheaded Xuanfu General Xu Chao's position.

And the reason why Zhou Xian transferred him from Liaodong to other places was also to protect him.

Because Qi Zhaohu is at odds with Zhang Zhilong in Liaodong.

This time Datong fell, after Zhou Xian issued an edict.

Qi Zhaohu immediately did a good job of military defense on the Xuanfu side.

Then he obeyed the call of the horse and led 3,000 pro-troops to break the enemy.

To say that those three thousand soldiers, if they looked down on it, they might be shocked.

Because it was the combat elite that Qi Zhaohu had personally trained for more than half a year.

It can also be regarded as the Xuanfu special forces of the Ming Dynasty.

Because, in orthodox history, Qi Zhaohu is a model that belongs to a husband and a man!

He created many military myths of his own in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

A hundred battles in one day!

Hundreds of consecutive slashes!

Thousands of troops broken!

Three in and three out!

There is no exaggeration in these things, and there are traces to follow.

So much so that later historians can see the evaluation of military generals of the same period when they look through the history books.

Zhao Tiger bravely crowns the three armies!

He was the first fierce general in the late Ming Dynasty.

The courage of this person is comparable to that of Zhang Fei during the Three Kingdoms period.

Even better than Zhang Fei.

And has the extraordinary ability of ten thousand armies to take the head of the enemy general from it, just like probing the bag.

When Qi Zhaohu really rose, it was during the alternation of Wannian and Emperor Chongzhen.

The Ming Dynasty and Jiannu broke out in the Battle of Sarhu.

The Ming Five-Way Army was completely annihilated.

Only Qi Zhaohu, who went to support, led 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, and stubbornly pushed a 20,000-strong Jiannu cavalry.

At that time, Nurhachi still wanted to keep people.

sent an army of 60,000 troops from the Eight Banners to Qi Zhaohu to encircle him.

The tiger courage and bright silver spear in Qi Zhaohu's hand were used to make a tiger and a tiger.

The soldiers of Jiannu died when they touched it.

In this way, Qi Zhaohu fought for the first time out of the siege of Jiannu.

Finding that there were still brothers under his command in the encirclement, he resolutely turned back and fought again.

Thus there is a heroic feat of three in and three out.

It was that war.

After Jiannu achieved great results in Salhu, he did not dare to use troops against the Ming Dynasty unscrupulously.

Because they feel that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty has not been completely lost.

So since then, Qi Zhaohu has been famous in the army.

This made Zhang Zhilong, who had served under Zu Dashou in Liaodong, extremely unhappy.

Zhang Zhilong was also a rising star in the late Ming Dynasty.

He felt that Qi Zhaohu was not as good as Zu Dashou.

So they have a dislike for each other.

Zhou Xian knew that a real fierce general like Qi Zhaohu would be placed in Liaodong's nest with people, and infighting would be a tyrannical thing.

Therefore, Zhou Xian transferred him back for reuse.

This time, Lu Delin was promoted to the generalissimo of the Beijing Division, and Qi Zhaohu was recalled by Lu Delin and appointed him as the right governor of Jin Wuwei.

He, Xue Gang and Ma Wenzhong are each in charge of 10,000 gold guards.

Lu Delin, on the other hand, took command of the forbidden army.

Now there are still 10,000 people in the forbidden army on the Xuanfu side, which is led by Liu Yuzhou.

Zhou Xian planned that after the situation on the Xuanfu side stabilized, he summoned Liu Yuzhou to serve in front of him.

In order to facilitate various pro-recruitment in the later stage......

Zhou Xian had already planned to personally lead his troops to fight.

It can be said that it is another famous team of generals in the late Ming Dynasty during the preparatory period.

Now that Zhou Xian heard the other party's three-way military strategy, he couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he bowed his head slightly and said, "Go on." ”

Qi Zhaohu added: "Now we should adopt the offensive tactics of ploughing and sweeping the holes. ”

"Gradually sweep away the Mongol defenders on the left and right flanks of Datong."

"If we abandon the left and right and directly attack the core military town, we will have to go through a fierce battle."

"Even if we can win, we will be surrounded again by the Mongol cavalry on the periphery."

"So what we do is of course to sweep away the peripheral military towns, and it can also bring enough confidence to the people, and add some extra food, which can alleviate the pressure on people's livelihood in winter."

Qi Zhaohu is a fierce man who has been mixed in the border army for a long time.

His tactical vision is still very tricky.

The meaning expressed is also very substantial.

This embarrassed Xue Gang, who was standing next to him.

Xue Gang's face was flushed, and he suddenly felt that he was really a reckless man?

"What about General Lu? What do you think? Zhou Xian asked.

Lu Delin said: "Chitose, the last general also thinks that what Qi Zhaohu said makes sense, Chitose is pro-conquest, wherever I go to the army, morale is high, and the battle is quick and fast, and it is indeed necessary to give confidence to the people through peripheral sweeps." ”

Zhou Xian said: "Well, it seems that you already have a rough idea in your hearts. ”

"But how to cut the outer wings of the Mongol army remains to be considered, and I would like to add a few points now."

Zhou Xian said this, turned around and pointed to the map on the wall, and said: "Hit left all the way, hit right all the way, and intercept the road of Hazier's retreat to the grassland, and the rest of the way is the army is fast and the soldiers are in Datong Town." ”

Zhou Xian's eyes were piercing, his momentum was crowning, and he said in a deep voice: "In this battle, I don't want you to recover how many fortresses and military towns. ”

"After all, Hazir does not have many troops, after losing 5,000 men and horses of Zarbak before, there are only more than 30,000 people left under Hazir's command, and their troops are destined to be unable to defend Datong for a long time."

"Therefore, the main strategic goal of this battle is to cut out Hazier's combat effectiveness to the greatest extent."

"When his soldiers and horses are not enough to defend the city, he will naturally flee."

"Chitose Wise."

The generals bowed their heads one after another.

At this time, Wu Changfeng, the chief general of the Praetorian Guard, said: "Chitose, there is something I still want to ask for advice from the lower officials." ”

"Say."

"Left and right, the Chinese army pincerated, the last general felt very reasonable, but why did you go around to the periphery of Datong Military Town?"

Zhou Xian said: "This battle can't be limited to the duel between our dynasty and Hazier. ”

"Hazier is overwhelmingly occupying the border towns of our dynasty and discrediting the national prestige of my dynasty, but I am afraid that now those herdsmen on the grassland have begun to covet our dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, many generals looked stunned, and Lu Delin said: "Chitose, do you mean that in addition to Hazier, other Mongols will use troops against me in the northwest?" ”

"I have to guard against it, at least there is a possibility, and there is a big possibility."

"Besides, the Mongolian Naturalization City is only one hundred and seventy miles from the northwest frontier of my dynasty."

"Got it!"

Lu Delin was awakened at this moment.
