Xiong Wei heard too many stories about Nurhachi's bravery and good fighting along the way, not to mention that Nurhachi grew up on horseback and could fight well, and he deeply knew that he couldn't beat Nurhachi by fighting hard like this.

Nurhachi's Jin Ge Iron Horse swept over, and his sword qi couldn't resist for a long time, so he could only outwit him.

In order to outwit, we must first analyze the situation of the enemy and us, as well as the topography of Quang Ninh City.

Xiong Wei knew that Quang Ninh was the highest military and political organ station, the base for the management of the Jurchens, not only a political center, an important military town, but also a border fortress. If Guangning is breached, people will definitely be panicked, and the Jingshi will also be in danger.

"Master Zhang, where is the map of Guangning City?" Xiong Wei looked at Zhang Chengmeng very seriously.

"This way, please. Zhang Chengmeng took Xiong Wei to the sand table, "This is Guangning City." ”

Xiong looked at a rectangular wooden platform with a topographic map of Quang Ninh. While listening to Zhang Chengmeng's explanation, he began to analyze the topography of Guangning City, intending to find an entry point for the battle.

Zhang Chengmeng pointed to the map while explaining to Xiong Wei.

Militarily speaking, Quang Ninh Wei is a heavy soldier. Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, led his troops to be stationed here, and fought many battles with the Later Jin regime to fight for the right to govern Liaodong.

After Li Chengliang's death, Zhang Chengmeng has been stationed here, and he has been dealing with Nurhachi.

Nurhachi has been fighting in the north, and he has no time to worry about the affairs of Quang Ninh City.

This time, Nurhachi had actually made up his mind to start a war with the Southern Dynasties. Xiong Wei calculated that with Nurhachi's style, he must take Quang Ninh City. Of course, he must not be allowed to take it.

Xiong Wei sucked carefully and looked at the sand table.

The topography of Quang Ninh City can be divided into three types of terrain: mountainous, plain and depression, and is located at the eastern foot of Wulu Mountain.

On Wulu Mountain, the vegetation is flourishing, the air is circulating, and the water source is abundant, which is a good place to set up soldiers.

The Yiwu Lu Mountains stretch on the west and north sides, and the mountainous areas in the northwest surround the Great Plain of Quang Ninh, forming a trend of mountains, plains and depressions from the northwest to the southeast, and each accounts for one-third.

The two looked at the sand table for a while, and Zhang Chengmeng took Xiong Wei out of the city tower and came to the corner tower to watch. The wind was whistling, ruffling the hair on Xiong's forehead.

It was early spring, and the mountains were covered with snow, and the distant sky was also gray.

Xiong Wei thought that if he led his troops to be stationed on Wulu Mountain and rushed over, it would not take half a day's work to break through Guangning City. It seems that this side should strengthen the defense.

Xiong Wei looked to the west again, which was much lower and more mountainous, and this part of the terrain seemed to occupy about one-third of the total area of Quang Ninh City.

Zhang Chengmeng pointed to the eastern foot of the mountain and said: "This piece is a gentle hill, and the side that runs from northeast to southwest is a mountain. ”

Xiong Wei looked at the side that Zhang Chengmeng said that there was not much trouble, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. And it is conducive to attacking, if the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty meet the enemy from this position, they can be like a bamboo, and it is estimated that they will not use troops from this side.

Xiong Wei asked, "How many soldiers are there on this cloth?"

Zhang Chengmeng said: "There are not many soldiers on this side, about 800 people. Because, the terrain on this side is not very undulating, which is not conducive to carrying out sieges. And we are condescending, and it doesn't take much effort to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

Xiong Wei listened to Bubing and felt that this Zhang Chengmeng still had some brains. So he nodded and said, "Lord Zhang is indeed a general, and his defense is very good." ”

Zhang Chengmeng heard Xiong Wei praise himself, and he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he had been a soldier in Biansai for decades, and only today would he be appreciated. Since the death of Li Chengliang, the imperial court has not sent a new person to govern Liaodong.

Zhang Chengmeng thought that now that he has been appreciated by Lord Xiong, there seems to be hope for promotion. If Nurhachi can be taken down in one fell swoop this time, it will be a success.

He pointed even harder at the peaks on all sides of Quang Ninh City.

"There are more than 900 large and small mountains around Quang Ninh Wei, 52 famous peaks and 10 long mountain ranges. The highest mountain is called Wanghai Mountain, and the adjacent city is called Yixian. ”

Xiong Wei followed the direction pointed by Zhang Chengmeng and continued to look over.

"The central part of Quang Ninh City is composed of alluvial plains formed by the Xisha River, Wuxu River (Heiyugou River) and Shazi River, as well as the upper valley plains. ”

"The southeast is low-lying and occupies one-third of the total area of Quang Ninh City. In terms of the proportion of hills, plains, and waters, it is roughly as follows: three mountains, one water, and six fields."

Xiong Wei and Zhang Chengmeng patrolled the defense of Quang Ninh City around the city wall.

The two came to the east of the city and stood on the wall. Flags were displayed on the city wall, and the soldiers saw that the commander was personally searching, and they all stood up straight with high spirits.

Xiong Wei thought: It seems that our army is also mighty. Li Chengliang has been guarding northern Xinjiang for decades, and he is not in vain. Li Chengliang has only been dead for a few years, and Nurhachi also took advantage of the weakness. As long as the defense of the side fortress is strengthened, Nurhachi will not be able to attack for a while and a half.

Thinking of this, Xiong Wei had an idea in his heart: it is better to sneak attack Nurhachi and compete.

Xiong Wei raised his head and said, "Where is Nurhachi currently stationed?"

Zhang Chengmeng said: "According to the spies, Nurha's red residence is only a few dozen miles away from Guangningwei in the northern mountains. ”

"I'm also in the sky!" Xiong Wei rubbed his hands, and the north wind blew past him, "Can you use fire to burn Nurhachi's grain and grass first?"

Zhang Chengmeng looked at the direction in which the flag was flying and said: "The winter in Guangning City is long, dry and cold, and the spring is less rainy and windy. However, it has just snowed heavily in the past few days, and there has been a heavy rain before. The air is moist, and if you attack it with fire, it may not burn. ”

Xiong Wei sketched a map of Quang Ninh City in his mind, and said silently: the northwest mountains, the central plains, and the southeast depressions.

He stopped abruptly and said, "You just said where Nurhachi is stationed. Take me in that direction. ”

"Your Excellency, please. Zhang Chengmeng walked forward quickly. Standing in the corner, he pointed to the mountains to the north, "It's over there." ”

Xiong Wei followed him and stood on the castle tower, the cold wind blowing on his face. He secretly thought in his heart: It is spring, the north wind is blowing, and attacking with fire will not only not burn, but will also burn himself.

"Then there is only a sneak attack!" Xiong Wei said firmly, "This is a good opportunity to get to know Nurhachi, let's discuss, I will directly lead 2,000 soldiers to attack, you can see." ”

"A sneak attack is a good idea, Lord Bear is right. Zhang Chengmeng agreed with his idea, "The so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, and I also thought about sneak attacks." ”

After he finished speaking, he paused again and said, "However, it is not you who will attack with 2,000 soldiers alone, but I will attack with you with 2,000 soldiers." ”

"Hehe!" Xiong Wei looked at this Zhang Chengmeng and liked him a little, but this person was eager to take credit, so he must tell him well, "Don't worry." I'm just going to find out first, didn't you say that the reinforcements will arrive soon, you can defend the city with peace of mind first, and then discuss countermeasures together when the army arrives. ”

Xiong Wei thought, "The main general is attacking, who will defend the city?" So he said, "Master Zhang will lead the troops out of the city, who will defend the city?"

Zhang Chengmeng said: "There are also adjutant generals. ”

Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun and said, "Yun'er, if you sneak attack at night, you won't go." Together, help the Quang Ninh soldiers defend the city. Okay?"

Xia Yun actually wanted to go, she didn't want to go for a sneak attack, but wanted to know more about the situation. However, if you are a Jurchen, how can you really face the Jurchens? Think about it, and coldly only say one word: "Good!"

Xiong Wei finally decided to take a small team of people to investigate the camp where Nurhachi was stationed first, and Zhang Chengmeng led 2,000 people to respond. It would be better if Nurhachi could be captured alive, and if not, it would be good to have a deeper understanding of the enemy's situation.

At night, the wind was biting. The soldiers of the Ming army all set off with Xiong Wei in high spirits.

Xiong Wei took twenty capable soldiers and flew more than ten miles before Zhang Chengmeng on foot.

The spies of Zhang Chengmeng's department took Xiong Wei to the camp where the Nurhachi soldiers lived.

The bear was lying on his stomach in the snow, and he saw five tents in the distance. Judging from the size of each tent, Nurhachi's more than 20,000 people are far from being able to live in it, and it seems that this should be a vanguard force, at most a few hundred people.

Xiong Wei looked around, the night was blank. He asked the spies around him, "This looks like it's just a small group, right?"

The spy said, "I see many times more tents during the day." As for the location of Nurhachi's army, it is not known at this time. ”

Xiong Wei thought: Then clean up this place first, and it will also be a blow to Nurhachi.

Xiong Wei looked over again, and there was one of the largest of the five tents, one at each of the four corners.

They paused for a moment, and saw that every half hour a group of soldiers walked by.

Xiong Wei waited, and after a group of soldiers walked by. He pointed to the four corners, and to the four small leaders of the twenty men.

The four small leaders nodded, understanding that Xiong Wei had asked the four of them to take someone to one of them.

The four of them led the people away, and Xiong Wei himself led the people quietly close to the largest one in the middle.

Xiong Wei secretly approached the tent and saw four soldiers guarding the tent with a spear in his hand.

Xiong Wei quietly detoured from the back of the tent, stuck to the ground, and crawled forward. Walking around to the front of the tent, I happened to see the curtain in front of the tent rolled up. Xiong Wei saw a man in the tent wearing a long leather robe, standing in the middle of the tent.

There were four men standing guard outside his tent, all armed with weapons.

Xiong Qixin saw that the person in the long leather robe in this tent had an extraordinary temperament, probably the main general. Who is he, there seems to be a royal aura on him. This man is so young, it shouldn't be Nurhachi.

Xiong asked curiously, "Who is the man in the long leather robe?" ”

One of the veterans said: "He is the son of Nurhachi, and his name is Huang Taiji." ”

Xiong Wei was followed by four men, and he made a murderous gesture to them and rushed in.

The four people who came with Xiong Wei were veterans brought out by Li Chengliang, and they were as fierce as tigers against the enemy. I only heard an "ah" four times, and then there was no movement.

Seeing that they had succeeded, Xiong Wei hurriedly took the rest of the people and said, "Rush!"

The people inside the tent were also battle-hardened, and when they heard the sound, they immediately turned around and guarded the man in the long leather robe, and the surrounding soldiers also rushed out.

Xiong Wei shrugged his eyebrows, raised his hand with "Ten Fingers and Heart", and emitted bursts of sword qi, not only knocking over the guards who rushed out.

Huang Taiji looked at it, and he was also very fierce, although he wore a lot, his movements were very agile, and he stabbed Xiong Wei with a long sword in his hand.

Xiong Wei waved his index finger, and a wave of sword qi quickly rushed towards him.

Huang Taiji first felt the sword qi coming, dodged quickly, and then pounced on Xiong Qi.

Xiong Wei didn't have time to send out a second sword qi, and when he saw the ferocity, he hurriedly retreated.

One of Xiong Wei's side saw that the sneak attack had been discovered, and took out the horn he had prepared.

Xiong Wei heard the horn and followed the pre-agreed action to entangle the enemy leader first.

Although Huang Taiji looks taller than Xiong Wei, it is not easy to deal with Xiong Wei and get out. He took the sword and tried to stab Xiong Wei again, but Xiong Wei kicked his hind feet and hurriedly got up. He had fought so many times, and it was the first time he had seen someone so fierce. The two of them instantly mingled inside the tent.

The remaining twenty people took out the long knives prepared in advance and killed the war horses in the enemy army.

In less than a while, Zhang Chengmeng arrived in time with his troops, and the enemy army lost the command of the leader and was surrounded by Zhang Chengmeng.

Huang Taiji saw it, shouted, and hurriedly fled with his remaining troops.

This battle was a beautiful battle of annihilation.

Xiong Wei led Zhang Chengmeng and returned victorious.
