Several sentinels galloped into Phoenix.

Yang Chengying soldiers were divided into two routes, one to the north and one to the west. There are fewer people to the north and more people to the west, and they seem to be intent on meeting the army of my Kuandian Six Forts......"

"Did it work?"

Hearing that Sakhalian had finished reporting the latest military information, Huang Taiji tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly.

To Sakhalian's ears, it seemed like the Great Khan was talking to himself, so he did not respond.

The two sides cannot rely on a head-on decisive battle, and in the case of a breakthrough, it is inevitable that the sword will go sideways.

Huang Taiji was sure of one thing, no matter whether Yang Chengying would send troops to the Li Dynasty or not, he would be fully prepared.

Either take the opportunity to eliminate Yang Chengying's troops, or attack the Li Dynasty.

Even if these two goals cannot be achieved, then the strategic goal of containing Yang Chengying has been achieved.

"How many sentries have you lost?" Huang Taiji raised his eyebrows, thought of something, and asked in a deep voice.

"Twenty-one killed, seven missing."

Sakhalian sighed helplessly: "Yang Chengying is indeed very good at intelligence spying and prevention, there is a soldier called 'reconnaissance company' in the leopard Tao battalion, who is simply doing everything when hunting and killing our army's sentinels. ”

"Reconnaissance company?" Huang Taiji thought for a while and had some impressions, "One of the restructurings of the Liaodong Army is to increase the reconnaissance company to specialize in reconnaissance intelligence. ”

"Exactly."

Sakhalian nodded, "Especially the Leopard Tao Camp, which is familiar with the borders of the Li Dynasty and the Dajin Kingdom. Although this force is small in number, it is very good at camouflage and stealth, which can be described as elusive.

And against assassinations, sneak attacks, traps, mountain battles, forest warfare...... It's all about it. ”

"It's extremely rare to have such skills." Huang Taiji said with a little surprise.

"Probably Yang Chengying expected that there would be this day, so he made arrangements in advance."

Saharan reminded: "Even if we let them take the bait, maybe be careful. The strength of the Leopard Tao battalion was comparable to that of the troops led by Liu Ling, a famous general in central Sichuan, and it was brave. ”

Huang Taiji knows it.

In order to achieve the tactical goal, Huang Taiji dispatched 2,100 elite soldiers from the Six Forts of Kuandian, 4,000 from the Eight Banners, 3,000 from the Baijia Bayala Protectors, and 1,800 from the Han Army in Phoenix.

Trying to surround and annihilate the Leopard Tao battalion with more than twice the force.

Rao is like this, and Huang Taiji, who has always been decisive, can't help but hesitate.

"Yang Chengying is alone, and there should be a backhand."

Huang Taiji said: "We have to send troops and horses from Shenyang to meet in case of accidents." ”

"Judging from the current situation, the minister thinks that there is no need to transfer troops and horses, just be careful."

Sakhalian could feel that the closer the Great Khan came to the greatest victory, the more uneasy his heart became.

It seemed that there was no better opportunity than now, and they successfully lured Yang Chengying into an ambush circle, and then surrounded and annihilated him.

As soon as Yang Chengying died, Liaodong Town was closed.

Sixty miles south of Phoenix, there is a place called Tangzhan Fort.

The border fort has been abandoned for many years and is overgrown with weeds.

Yang Chengying and Leopard Taoying rested here.

The reason why it is here is because there is a river that flows through the north side of the village.

Drinking water can be replenished here.

After here, the danger is unpredictable.

Yang Chengying squatted by the river, pressed the water bladder into the river, and then raised his head to drink.

The same is true of the generals of the Leopard Tao Battalion.

"Jinglue, do you think Huang Taiji will take the bait?"

Jin Guochen felt a little uneasy in his heart.

In case of a slight evil, he will die a hundred times.

"Kill me, such a great feat, he won't let it go easily."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "As long as he takes the bait, this game will have a way to live." ”

Under the premise that the strength of the two sides is equal, whoever can surprise the army to win will be able to win the initiative on the battlefield.

Huang Taiji's most conservative approach is to squat on the key road from Phoenix City to Liaoyang, and eliminate the leopard Tao camp by waiting for work.

But he couldn't do this, because Yang Chengying wouldn't be stupid enough to walk hundreds of miles of mountain roads and run to send people's heads.

The words of sneak attack on the rear of Liaoyang are the same as the words of threatening not to be the emperor, they are all said by Yang Chengying to outsiders.

There are many people, who dares to ensure that there is no spy around.

After the troops had rested, they continued their march north.

He had not gone far before he received a report from the reconnaissance company that the enemy, with several times his own strength, had quickly copied from Sanban.

Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers from the Leopard Tao Battalion, who was tasked with confusing the enemy, reported that the Houjin army of Kuandian Liubao rushed towards this side no matter how they attacked and harassed them.

In other words, Yang Chengying fell into a situation surrounded on all sides.

"Tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Eight Banners!"

Jin Guochen's heart trembled slightly, twice as much as Leopard Taoying.

The Leopard Tao camp is also in the middle of the mountains, and it is not easy to escape.

Rao was already aware that there would be an ambush in the Houjin army, and he still couldn't help but get nervous.

This is especially true for a lot of recruits.

They looked around, their eyes focused on Yang Chengying.

At this moment, the battlefield hosts who have experienced countless battles in their lives will become the backbone.

Calm!

Jin Guochen and the others only saw from Jing Liu's face - calm.

A gust of north wind blew, rolling up the dead leaves in the woods and brushing a few locks of helmet on Yang Chengying's helmet.

As the sun sets, the bright sun shines on the coach's body, like a god.

All calmed down.

"Order, logging is a fence to block the passage in all directions."

Yang Chengying calmly ordered, "Jin Guochen, Hu Hongxian, Liu Liangchen, and Cao Bianjiao, each responsible for a direction, and Wu Sanfeng is in the center to convey my general order." ”

The crowd split up and immediately began to erect rudimentary fortifications.

Yang Chengying climbed one side of the hill and observed the distance with a telescope under the handsome flag flying high.

Seeing that the enemy was approaching, Yang Chengying drew his sword out of the sheath: "I am invincible!" ”

This sound is like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and the birds are frightened.

"I'm invincible!"

Jin Guochen, Hu Hongxian, Cao Bianjiao and other generals roared in unison.

"I'm invincible!"

More than 5,000 soldiers roared in unison.

The sound was earth-shattering.

To the north, Huang Taiji, who was leading the army to the south, suddenly heard this roar and couldn't help but restrain his horse.

"Sakhalian, did you hear that?"

Huang Taiji pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Sakhalian's face was a little strange, and after listening for a while, he replied: "Great Khan, the other party shouted that I am invincible!" ”

Huang Taiji was stunned again, a soldier and horse who had fallen into a trap and were about to fall into a heavy siege could shout out the trumpet so calmly.

Were they prepared?

Or is it that Yang Chengying has reached the point where he governs the army like a god, and in the face of such a sudden change, he can also be as immobile as a mountain.

For a while, all kinds of doubts came to my mind.

Huang Taiji had to shake his head and charge forward on his horse.

Ready to fly, have to send!

And then......

He was stunned to find that he had gnawed on a hard bone.

Large trees blocked the road, and the enemy had already occupied the high ground and arranged a musket array.

There are also a couple of mortars.
