Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji came out of Liaoyang and Shenyang, and it took four days to reach Baiyintao.

Baiyintao, in fact, is the area between the two rivers, and the width from east to west is only three miles, like a sleeve.

From the northeast to the southwest, the terrain is getting higher and higher, all the way to Aobaoling, forming a narrow area of more than 30 miles.

The place where you can wade across two rivers at the same time is Baiyintao, which is twenty miles northeast of Aobaoling.

Aobaoling is the watershed of the two rivers, and Xiong Chu and the military advisor Wan Lian led the Chinese army to be stationed on the south side of the Aobao Mountains.

For this big battle, the military advisor Wan Lian mobilized the scout battalion of the Chinese army battalion and the scout team of the former battalion, a total of 730 people, and scattered them from Shangyulinbao to Aobaoling.

Each group of three people, divided into more than 200 groups, monitored the entire 500 li in sections, kept abreast of the enemy's troops' position, the speed of the march, and the changes in the queue, and then used the relay method to transmit information backwards.

Zhou Laosi, the chief dispatcher, was about 100 miles away from Ao Baoling, and his task was to use the golden eagle to send the news back when the enemy was only one day's trip away from Baiyintao.

"The enemy is still eighty miles away from Baiyintao, the former army commander will be Mang Gurtai Commander Zhenglan Banner 2,000 people, the Chinese army commander will be Huang Taiji Commander Zhengbai Banner 3,000 people, and the rear army commander will be Daishan's eldest son Yue Tuo Commander with 2,500 red flag banners. The enemy's total strength is about 8,000 men, and it is expected to arrive at the Baiyintao line tomorrow night. ”

The news that the golden eagle brought back Zhou Laosi from his leg was very simple, but immediately after that, Li Qing rushed back and finally made the enemy's situation clear:

"The enemy's strength is close to 8,000, and it claims to be 50,000 troops. Mang Gurtai marched in strict accordance with Nurhachi's regulations, and there were ten people in front of him to undertake the scouts, and more than 200 people in the back five miles to serve as the answer, and then Mang Gurtai's front army. ”

"The Chinese army Huang Taiji is about ten miles away from Mang Gurtai's front army, and Yue Tuo's rear army is less than five miles away from Huang Taiji. The enemy has now set camp, and according to the custom of these days, it should be tomorrow morning before dawn to set out, and it should be sunset to arrive at Baiyintao. ”

The enemy situation was finally clear, and the atmosphere on the Xiong Prince's side became tense.

Although it would take another day and a night for the enemy to reach Baiyintao, the final preparations before the battle had all begun.

"Order: The god aircraft team and vehicle artillery team of the town military camp of Qiu Boming's headquarters of the Chinese army battalion are assigned to the firearms battalion of Qiao Rushan, the former army battalion. At nightfall tomorrow, he went down the mountain and went straight to Baiyintao, concentrating 300 five thunder god machines and eight cannons to bombard the enemy's Chinese army that was crossing the river, and the bird gun team served as protection. ”

After the enemy's Chinese army was forced to split up and rush across the two rivers, Qiao Rushan, the commander of the firearms battalion, divided the vehicles and artillery into two and attacked the enemy troops on the other side of the Xila Murong River and the Laoha River respectively. ”

"Yasburu, the deputy commander of the firearms battalion, led the Bird Battalion and the Shenji Battalion to assemble on the spot immediately, pay attention to the direction pointed by the hill at any time, and then get on the horse and fight hard to pursue the enemy, so that the enemy could not complete the regrouping. ”

"Order: The battalion of the former army, the garrison of Naliburai, shall immediately descend from the west after hearing the sound of artillery, and aim at the enemy's forward troops, who have crossed the Xilamulun River. Storm the enemy's left flank and prevent the enemy from returning to the rescue of the Chinese army. ”

"Order: The hussar battalion under Fan Tao, the main battalion of the front army, immediately descended from the east after hearing the sound of artillery, and the goal was to storm the left flank of the enemy's rear army and prevent the enemy from reinforcing the Chinese army with all his might. ”

"Order: 720 men of the Shooting Battalion and 720 men of the Women's Battalion of the Chige Battalion of the Chinese Army, ready to be dispatched by the Lord at any time, as the last mobile strike force, ready to reinforce the various units. ”

"Tactical requirements: The main goal of this operation is not to destroy the enemy, and the task is completed if the enemy army is completely defeated. The firearms battalion led by Qiao Rushan will not care as long as the enemy does not storm the artillery position. Forced the enemy to cross the Laoha River and the Xila Murong River separately, and bombarded the enemy's densely populated places to kill and wound. ”

"The escort army and baggage team of the large battalion of the Chinese army, and the baggage team of the large battalion of the former army are all concentrated in the Chinese army, and all the carts are formed into a circular defensive position, and all the personnel are armed with bows and arrows, and when they find the enemy approaching, they immediately release arrows to prevent the enemy from inadvertently passing through this place to launch a surprise attack. ”

"You are all fighting the Jurchen army for the first time, and you may not understand the characteristics of the enemy. The Jurchen ranks are strictly organized, the military discipline is harsh, and the battle is brave, unlike the Mongol army. It should be noted that the Jurchen army was divided into eight banners, and the colors between each other were clear. ”

"The enemy's front army is the blue flag of Commander Mang Gurtai, and their banner and the armor and robes of the generals leading the troops are all blue; the Chinese army is the white flag of the commander of Huang Taiji, and their banners and the armor and robes of the generals leading the troops are all white. The rear army is the red flag of the commander of Yue Tuo, that is, the red and gold edges. ”

According to the actual enemy situation, military advisor Wan Lian issued combat orders to all units, and the whole army began to eat and rest in order to recharge their energy for tomorrow night's battle.

Qiao Rushan, originally the owner of Qiaojiazhai in Tiantai Mountain, because the cottage was broken by King Tudeng, the great disciple of the living Buddha Du Buba, and all seventeen backbones were arrested into Chongfu Temple.

After being rescued by Xiong Chu, Qiao Rushan and the others felt that it was not interesting for them to be so mixed, so they followed Xiong Chu and began to explore the rivers and lakes.

When Wan Lian was reorganized for the first time in Jingde Villa, he found that Qiao Rushan's brothers had not undergone strict training and were not good at riding and archery kung fu, so they were the first firearms team formed later, and the second firearms battalion reorganized in Huluhai was also based on them.

In the last battle of Danzhu Mountain, Wang Bangquan, the lord of Erzhai, and Sima Cheng led the firearms team to hold the mountain, and in the final hand-to-hand combat, only less than 30 of the 120 people survived.

After this battle, the original Qiaojiazhai brothers who followed all the way from Guannei lost more than half, as the original owner of the village, Qiao Rushan was painful to the bone marrow.

The third expansion and reorganization of the Wuzhumuqin Division, Qiao Rushan was promoted to the commander of the former Daying Firearms Battalion, and Wang Bangquan was promoted to deputy commander because of his military exploits in Danzhu Mountain.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they must make the firearms battalion famous, and also let the more than 1,200 brothers under their command raise their eyebrows. In the two months after the reorganization, he led his brothers to practice guns almost day and night.

It can't be done without drilling, because this time four 200-pound cannons have been added, and the firearms battalion of the Chinese army battalion has been brought to train, so a lot of experience has been accumulated.

Now, according to the order of the military advisor Wan Lian, the Shen Aircraft Brigade and the Vehicle and Artillery Team of the Chinese Army Battalion have come over to accept the order, and Qiao Rushan asked Wang Bangquan to urge everyone to rest well at the station.

He himself did not rest, nor did he let the three hundred men of the Protector rest.

He didn't rest at night, just because Qiao Rushan wanted to do a big thing.

Digging a hole in the ground is not a big deal, but if you want to dig more than a hundred holes, it is not a small matter.

Of course, he was not digging a hole in the ground, but rushed to Baiyintao overnight to dig a hole.

Qiao Rushan led the 300 people in the military camp to quietly descend the mountain, and then hurried to Baiyintao and asked everyone to measure the depth of the two rivers on the spot.

After more than an hour of tossing, I finally found the best place to cross the river with a width of almost 100 zhang. The river in this area is only as deep as the calves of the horses.

Subsequently, according to the range of the Five Thunder God Machine, Qiao Rushan asked everyone to retreat sixty zhang and start digging holes.

Of course, you can't just dig a hole, you first have to cut the turf and move it completely to the side before you start digging a hole. The hole was four feet in diameter and one person deep, and all the earth dug out was thrown into the river.

At this time, it has reached the fourth watch. Then he sent someone back and ordered Wang Bangquan to lead a team of 100 people from the Five Thunder God Machine to come over, and even led the guys into the cave, and finally covered the hole with branches, and moved the turf back to cover it.

When he was the owner of the village, Qiao Rushan led the brothers in the cottage to do everything except digging a cave for themselves. What to pick the door and twist the lock, remove the tile and enter the room, that is commonplace.

Including digging tunnels to enter the Taiyuan grain depot to steal grain, digging tunnels to enter money villages, pawnshops have all done. Even in order to fish out the brothers who were caught in prison, they dug holes in the ground to let the brothers escape from prison.

Otherwise, Qiaojiazhai would not be able to become a tyrant in the local area, and everyone would look at it.

For digging holes and tunnels, Qiao Rushan and his brothers are experts, and they are almost seamless. After the efforts of the three hundred brothers in the military camp overnight, it was naturally completed.

Qiao Rushan had the audacity to do this, and the military advisor Wan Lian and Xiong Chu didn't know about it, and in fact, few people knew.

By the time ten fast horses appeared in the southeast, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

After lunch, Xiong Chu and Wan Lian sat on a big tree on the top of the mountain, staring at the southeast direction, until they saw the enemy's outpost scout, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief: the enemy really took this road, and their hard work was not in vain.

Although it is not very clear because of the distance, ten horses gallop and can still be distinguished on the grassland.

Half an hour later, a group of cavalry appeared, and sure enough, there were one or two hundred cavalry, which should be the outpost receiving troops mentioned by Li Qing, the deputy commander of the scout battalion.

"Lord, can you rest assured now?" Wan Lian moved his body and prepared to go down from the tree: "If my expectations are correct, the enemy should cross the river overnight, and then camp to rest." Tomorrow raise your full strength and launch a surprise attack on the right flank of Zarut to the northwest. It's a pity that this dream of theirs can't be realized. ”

Xiong Chu said with a smile: "Although the enemy is twice as large as ours, they have already traveled more than eighty miles, and they are completely a tired army. We were small in number, but we were waiting for a surprise attack. The right time, place and people are all three, and then it depends on how the brothers play. ”

Wan Lian also smiled: "The tired division was suddenly attacked, and it was still at night, so it was inevitable to cause chaos. However, our brothers have not experienced a major war, let alone a night battle, so my battle orders will be aimed at defeat, not killing. ”

"The ancients said: If you want to hurry, you can't reach it. Xiong Chu nodded: "I'm glad that you can be level-headed and cautious." The brothers are all young and have a long way to go, and they will grow up with more training. It's a long time coming, so don't be in a hurry now. ”

However, things in the world are not things that you think you can think through, and unexpected situations often occur.

You want to fight steadily, but some people want to kill the enemy with a stick.

Xiong Chu and Wan Lian were not saints either, and it was impossible for them to find out the minds of the five or six thousand brothers.

There are hundreds of people, all shapes and shapes, not to mention the thoughts and ideas of five or six thousand people.
