In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, on the seventh day of the first month, the hour of the hour.

Yang Chengying summoned the generals to the meeting hall of the General Military Mansion to discuss important matters.

"I got a secret report from the front line, and Emperor Taiji personally led the army to go out yesterday, leaving only Abatai and Du Du to stay in Shenyang City."

Hearing the news of the Jin Army's large-scale invasion after the marshal, all the generals in the hall were gearing up.

"This attack is not trivial, Huang Taiji only left the old seven Abatai, who has no sense of existence, and Du Du, the son of Guangluo Belle Chu Ying."

Ning Wan poured a basin of cold water on them: "This shows how considerable the mobilized troops are. According to detailed reports, the number of troops was no less than 60,000. ”

Generally speaking, when talking about the number of troops, it was always customary to add soldiers and civilians and half-cultivated peasant soldiers, but when I said the number of troops, I meant armored soldiers.

In this calculation, Yang Chengying only has more than 20,000 elite soldiers under his hands, and the Houjin is three times that of him.

The anxious expressions of the generals in the hall slowly dissipated.

Tactically it is necessary to pay attention to the enemy, Yang Chengying saw their expressions and nodded with satisfaction.

"But according to Huang Taiji's strategy, he won't beat us all."

Yang Chengying encouraged everyone again, "The soldiers should be divided into two ways, my way is false, and Lord Yuan's side is real." That's a lot for us. ”

"Dashuai, what do we do then? Or do you continue to use the tactics of defending the city from the front and attacking from the flanks? ”

Zhang Cunren asked curiously.

The last time he attacked Haizhou and supported the Li Dynasty, he used this set of tactics, which provoked the Houjin army to be greatly angry.

"Not this time." Yang Chengying said, "The enemy poured out, and the strength was several times that of mine, and it was no longer something that the Leopard Tao battalion of more than 2,000 people could handle. ”

"We're going to keep it this time!"

I came to the map and pointed to the map with my finger, "The strength of our army is not in the number, but in the fine." We defended the cities and forts, and the enemy lacked siege weapons and could not break through. ”

Hearing the defense of the city, Shang Kexi came to his senses: "Dashuai, please hand over the most arduous task to me." ”

In the last battle in the north, Shang Kexi and the women's battalion had no chance to perform.

"Absolutely."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "You cooperate with General Huang's artillery and guard the west gate with the assistance of the women's barracks." ”

"Leave the north gate to me."

Liu Tianlu took the initiative to stand up.

"No, you and General Deng led the army south to Fuzhou."

Yang Chengying arranged: "There are only 800 soldiers in Fuzhou, and they have not been recruited for a long time, so they need someone to help. ”

There is another reason why these two battalions were sent south to Fuzhou, a large number of people have just arrived in Jinzhou Town, and the anger in their hearts has not been eliminated.

If there is a Houjinnei who should take the opportunity to make trouble, then it will cause great damage to the locality.

Jiang Chaodong's forces are limited, and if he suppresses it, he will not have enough strength to defend the city.

Regarding the coach's arrangement, although Liu Tianlu was a little reluctant in his heart, he nodded very neatly.

Yang Chengying said: "How to prevent the people from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and how to quickly calm down after the accident, you are very experienced, so I sent you there." ”

"Don't worry, big man." Deng Changchun hugged his fists and said, "Lao Liu and I must not let Fuzhou cause chaos and affect this year's spring ploughing." ”

"That's very good." Yang Chengying nodded.

This time, as before, it is absolutely necessary to avoid the enemy's edge and find an opportunity to attack.

The enemy is now gathered together, and they can't wait for a decisive battle, and they will never give such a chance.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Houjin army had arrived in Yaozhou.

Looking at the demolished Yaozhou City, Huang Taiji let out a long sigh.

If he could, he would never want to fight Jinzhou, but turned his gun and went straight to Gaizhou.

But reason made him choose not to do that, but to determine the division of troops here.

Hearing that Yang Chengying was ready to defend the city, Huang Taiji changed his previous plan.

He sent the most stable Great Bel Daishan, led the Zhenghong Banner, the Zhenglan Banner of Mang Gurtai, to be stationed here.

The main purpose is to prevent Yang Chengying's northward attack.

The rest of the soldiers and horses marched west with him.

"Great Khan, with my second brother's soldiers and horses, I and I are enough to besiege Gaizhou, why don't you do this?"

Mang Gurtai asked puzzled.

"A siege on all sides means that the forces are scattered."

Huang Taiji explained: "This gives Yang Chengying the opportunity to break through, and we must not suffer the losses that Father Khan has suffered." ”

Dai Shan asked cautiously: "If Yang Chengying takes the opportunity to attack, what should we do?" Whether to go out of the village to meet the battle, or to lead the army to retreat in the direction of Quang Ninh. ”

Since Amin's incident, Dai Shan has discovered one thing, that is, Huang Taiji has a lot of prestige in front of a group of little Baylors. No matter how capable he is, he can't withstand the pressure of a group of people.

As a result, Dai Shan became cautious.

"Don't go head-to-head with it, take the opportunity to retreat to Quang Ninh. If we join forces, Yang Chengying will not dare to fight us. ”

For Dai Shan's caution, Huang Taiji was very happy, but his face was silent.

He has seen through Yang Chengying's strategy of using troops, that is, he will never fight a decisive battle without great certainty.

The news of the division of troops in the Houjin Army was quickly detected by the sentry and passed to Yang Chengying.

"The enemy is really cunning, and he is sure that he has clenched his fists, and we will not dare to attack."

Ning Wan also found that Huang Taiji's methods were powerful, "Nurhachi would not have done this before. ”

"The enemy is changing, and so will we." Yang Chengying frowned and said, "It's not advisable to defend comprehensively, so focus on attacking." ”

As soon as Zhang Cunren heard this word, he immediately got up: "Marshal, I am willing to lead the Leopard Tao battalion out of the city to kill the enemy." ”

"Very good, after the deed is completed, I will expand the Leopard Tao camp to five thousand." Yang Chengying nodded.

As for not exposing yourself to the plains and the like, you don't need Yang Chengying's advice, Zhang Cunren already understands it very well.

Jin Guochen said: "Scattered operations need more manpower assistance, and there will be a familiar friend who can help, and this person is in the Leopard Tao camp." ”

"Who?"

"Wu Sangui's cousin, Hu Hongxian."

It turned out to be him!

This incident is related to the situation at that time, Wu Xiang crossed the sea with his ancestral family in advance and came to Jinzhou Town.

Hu Hongxian's family did not follow, Hu Hongxian was still young at the time, and his father was in charge.

In the end, Hu Hongxian's family was plundered by the Houjin army and forced to flee.

In this process, Hu Hongxian joined the ranks of the Thirteen Mountains Righteous Army.

Then he followed the sea to Guifu Fort, and then joined the Leopard Tao Battalion.

Although Wu Sangui is Yang Chengying's personal soldier, the ancestral family and Wu Xiang are both in important positions in Jinzhou Town.

They clearly knew that if Hu Hongxian did not make military achievements, it would be impossible for him to get ahead.

dragged on like this, until this time in the Li Dynasty, Hu Hongxian followed Jin Guochen and made several great achievements.

Yang Chengying saw that Hu Hongxian's exploits were indeed enough, so he nodded in agreement.

On the tenth day of the first month, Huang Taiji arrived in Quang Ninh.

Later, the Jin army caught a Ming army sentry nearby, and after interrogation, it was learned that there were 100 people defending the right guard, the large and small Linghe cities had not yet been completed, and there were also soldiers' housing, and there were 30,000 horse infantry troops in Jinzhou City, and Jinzhou City had been repaired.

Huang Taiji believed that it was true, and the soldiers were divided into three ways, and he personally led two yellow flags to attack the big and small Linghe cities to annihilate the Ming army that built the city.

Let Amin and Shuo Zhi lead the blue flag and red flag to Jinzhou City.

Let Azig lead the white flag to send troops to the right cantonment, eliminate the Ming army there, and then march to Jinzhou.

The ultimate goal - Jinzhou!
