Bao Chengxian, a native of Yingzhou, Shanxi, fled to a farmhouse for refuge after the fall of Liaoyang.

was found by Sun Degong and recommended to Nurhachi.

Nurhachi gave him a lieutenant general, under Sun Degong, and then asked him to defend Gaizhou with Sun Degong.

The purpose is naturally to use them as bait to catch Yang Chengying's big fish.

However, Yang Chengying did not take the bait, but built a city in Xintun.

So, after Sun Degong received the military order, he discussed with Bao Chengxian and sent him to lead 3,000 elite soldiers south to attack the Ming army that built the city.

This news, through the fine work in Gaizhou City, quickly reached Yang Chengying's ears.

"General, the Ming army under Bao Chengxian is completely vulnerable, please allow your subordinates to lead the second battalion of water and fire to defeat them."

Xu Shang didn't pay attention to this "elite soldier" at all.

"What do you think?"

Yang Chengying was noncommittal, and turned his face to ask the other generals.

Su Xiaojing thought for a moment and said, "Why did the enemy only send this little bit of men, could it be a trick to lure the enemy and divert us from the strong defensive position." ”

"That's right, the Slave Chief is the best at luring the enemy deep and defeating them in one fell swoop. Then use the rout to capture the city. ”

Jiang Chaodong had palpitations, and he remembered the situation of the loss of Liaoyang City.

These words caused Xu Shang's displeasure.

"My second battalion of water and fire is well-trained, and even if it encounters defeat, it will not break up easily."

"This ...... General Xu, don't get me wrong, I definitely don't mean anything else. ”

Jiang Chaodong looked at Yang Chengying helplessly.

Yang Chengying reminded: "When discussing military affairs, you can't mix personal feelings like this, otherwise who will dare to speak in the future." ”

"Got it."

Xu Shang was unconvinced, but he didn't dare not listen.

Yang Chengying saw it and said: "Even if the enemy is really just a small attack, we must take the initiative to attack." ”

At this time, all the generals were a little surprised.

"The Hongyi cannon is not a secret, but its power is still a secret. We must not prematurely expose our weapons of mass murder, and we must hide them appropriately. ”

Yang Chengying explained.

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but nod.

The situation of that test is still vivid in my mind.

Many generals who were not present suddenly heard a loud noise, and thought that the sky was falling apart.

Many soldiers were so frightened that they crouched down and covered their ears with their hands.

Even veterans are no exception.

The war horses raised by the Fengzi camp also neighed constantly.

In the end, I learned that it was Sun Yuanhua and Peng Haigu who were trying the Hongyi cannon.

Only then did these generals have a new understanding of the Hongyi cannon.

"So, how are you going to use the troops?"

Fang Zhenru asked curiously.

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Since you have sent troops, how can you simply defeat Bao Chengxian?" ”

As he spoke, he came to the front of the map, pointed to Xintun with his finger, and then extended his finger all the way up.

Suddenly stopped in one place.

"This is it!" Yang Chengying said with a smile.

When the generals saw the city he was referring to, Fang Zhenru lost his voice and said, "Gaizhou!" ”

"Yes, Gaizhou."

Yang Chengying said: "The Nu chief deliberately put these two rebel generals in Gaizhou, in order to lure us to send troops and take Gaizhou. ”

"But in this way, our small number of troops will be overstretched due to the occupation of Gaizhou, and the slave chieftains will be able to break them all."

The generals were a little confused when they heard this, in that case, why did they still take Gaizhou?

I only heard Yang Chengying further explain: "But the garrison in Gaizhou needs money and food, as well as people and soldiers, and my goal is exactly these." ”

Fang Zhenru understood.

"Do you plan to move the people and money and grain there to Jinzhou after seizing Gaizhou?"

"If you can't get the people, you have to take away the money, food, and soldiers from there after surrendering."

Yang Chengying remembered the three hundred cavalry under the command of Turg, and after surrendering, they were placed in the Fengzi battalion, which felt particularly useful.

Taken together, this is indeed a good idea, and they all agreed.

At the meeting, the number of troops was officially determined, and Yang Chengying only led the Fengzi battalion to the battle.

Use the powerful mobility of the cavalry to defeat Bao Chengxian with lightning speed, and then use Bao Chengxian's soldiers and horses to open the city gate.

After the plan was decided, Yang Chengying began to prepare.

A day later, in the early morning, Yang Chengying led the army to quietly leave Xintun and waved his army north.

Bao Chengxian was on his way south.

Set up camp in a place called Jiang Zhuang.

They did not dare to take the line from Xiongyueyi to Deli Win City, for fear of being ambushed by the Ming army halfway.

So it was the outer line, starting from Xiongyueyi, marching to the southwest, passing through Wuzhai Station, Yongning Jiancheng and other places, and attacking Xintun in a large circle.

"General Bao, if we march like this, not to mention the empty consumption of money and food, we will not be able to complete the task assigned by General Sun."

The generals under his command did not understand his good intentions and reminded him tactfully.

"General Sun gave us 2,000 elite soldiers, and the real purpose was for us to put on a show and withdraw our troops back."

Bao Chengxian said: "If it goes too deep and leads to the loss of troops and generals, it will make General Sun feel uncomfortable." ”

The generals looked at each other, not understanding the reason.

They are military generals, and they only know how to cut people in battle, these twists and turns, how can they be good at them.

Bao Chengxian saw it, so he had to explain further: "Our army has few soldiers and cannot clash head-on with the enemy. Even if we lead our troops to attack and harass, the other side has a considerable number of cavalry troops, and we will not be able to take advantage of them at all. ”

"So we just have to put on a show. In case, I mean, if we lose our troops, we generals will not have a good time. ”

As soon as he said this, the old Qiu Ba all understood.

If you have a soldier, you are the king of grass, and if you don't have a soldier, you are not even a fart.

"General Bao, what should we do next?"

The generals figured it out, swept away the unhappiness just now, and came to the spirit one by one.

"Keep going, of course. We walked to Fuzhou City, Pangu Fort, and then attacked Yangguan Fort and other coastal forts. ”

Bao Chengxian said.

"This, the people of Fuzhou have been moved to Jinzhou by Yang Chengying, and with such a long supply, we are afraid that we will be hungry."

A general said suspiciously.

Bao Chengxian showed a meaningful smile on his face: "How can they all be withdrawn, there will always be those who stay." We forcibly moved these people north, and told the outside world that we had plundered them from Jinzhou. ”

The generals didn't expect such a wonderful operation, and they admired Bao Chengxian one by one.

After the discussion, the generals returned to their accounts one after another, planning to rest for one night and carry out Bao Chengxian's order tomorrow.

That night, the moon was sparse, and Bao Chengxian was still sleeping in a daze, when he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing outside.

"Could it be that Yang Chengying called?!"

Bao Chengxian instantly fell asleep.

Just as he was about to get up, he saw a pro-soldier entering the account in embarrassment:

"General, the Ming army is here and has surrounded us."

Bao Chengxian's face suddenly turned pale.

I sent so many sentries out to guard, and I also set up soldiers and horses to deal with night attacks, how could I be broken through so easily?

"How unreasonable!"

Bao Chengxian was annoyed and angry, and hurriedly ran out of the tent.

As far as the eye could see, there was chaos.

Well-trained cavalry of the Ming army, while cutting people, set fires.

The whole camp is on fire!

It's hopeless!

This was Bao Chengxian's first thought.

Second thought, run quickly.

He asked the guards to quickly bring the war horse, and he didn't wear the armor, turned over the horse, and prepared to slip away.

However, as soon as he got on his horse, he ran into a group of Ming cavalry head-on.

This cavalry, unlike other Ming cavalry, was heavily armoured.

The moment he found Bao Chengxian, he was very tacitly separated and surrounded him!

It's over, it's completely over!

Bao Chengxian thought desperately.
