Chapter 690: Strong attack is the right way

"Attack Nanshan?"

Huang Taiji was very interested in this question. He told He Heli: "Mr., give me a reason to attack Lushun Fort. If you can convince me, I will go to Liaoyang with you. Even if I am punished by my father's Khan, I will take Lushun Fort down."

In the past six months, Liu Peng and Lushun Fort have become Huang Taiji's biggest nightmare, especially this time Nurhaci used troops to Guangning, and most of the elite troops in his hands were transferred. Even Abatai from Gaizhou was transferred away from more than a hundred soldiers. In this case, an action by Liu Peng and Changfeng Camp may cause a fatal blow to the Zhengbai Banner and even the two white Banners.

He Heli immediately replied: "You know, if Duojili fought in Nanshan, I was extremely heartbroken, but his death was very valuable, forcing out the true background of the bandits in Lushun Fort and Nanshan Island. The reason why Liu Peng dared to lead Changfeng Camp south was that there was an additional Dongshan garrison in Lushun Fort, but do you think a group of Dongshan miners can compare to Changfeng Camp?"

"Of course not!" Huang Taiji said firmly: "Even Abatai is not an opponent in Dongshan mine, how can he compare to Changfeng Camp? Changfeng Camp is really the capital of Liu Peng and Jiang Haotian to start his own business, and there are two yellow flags of Ruofu Khan."

"That's fine. The total number of thieves in Changfeng Camp and various islands in the south reaches 1,500,600. If the war in Guangning is in urgent need of the emergency and they are allowed to join the battlefield in southern Liaoning, what do you think will be the ending of Prince Huang Taiji?"

This is exactly what Huang Taiji is most worried about. The increase and decrease of the troops on both sides may have completely broken the balance of the battlefield in southern Liaoning and even hit the city of Fuzhou. Now He Heli said directly: "We will attack Lushun Fort first. Even if we lose, we will completely destroy the island thieves in Lushun Fort. At that time, Changfeng Camp will not help."

He Heli was thinking of defeat before he was concerned about victory. Huang Taiji felt that He Heli was thinking very well. As long as he defeated the Ming army of Lushun Fort, it would be irrelevant even if he could not take Lushun Fort.

, and He Heli continued to give another reason: "Brother Huang Taiji, don't you think there are too many Han people and Han soldiers in southern Liaoning? Instead of letting them waste food, it is better to pull them out to fight with Lushun Fort. At that time, it will not only save food, but also open the road to Lushun Fort for the Jurchen soldiers."

Population is an extremely precious resource, but the current Jurchen nobles, especially Nurhaci, have a high opinion of themselves and do not take the Han people seriously at all. In this case, the Han people became a burden in their eyes. They had never managed the occupied areas well, but instead despised the need to supply them to the Han people, so the Liao people were in exile.

In history, it is said that there were as many as 2.28 million Liao people who fled to North Korea alone, and Mao Wenlong also accommodated at least 300,000 to 400,000 Liao people.

Now, since Liu Peng's record in Jinzhou and Liaonan was so beautiful, Nurhaci and Huang Taiji have slightly adjusted the Han civil policy and even allowed some Han officials to lead hundreds or even thousands of Han soldiers. However, in their eyes, food issues are more important than the loyalty of Han soldiers and civilians.

Therefore, Huang Taiji felt that He Heli was very good, and he was talking about the most worried about him. Although he continued to expand the Han soldiers and Han people under his rule through policy adjustments, these people needed to consume an astonishing amount of food every day. What's worse was that Nurhaci personally fought for Guangning and transferred most of his elite troops away. He no longer knew how to suppress these powerful Han officials.

Now, letting them go to Lushun Fort and Nanshan to act as cannon fodder to consume the strength of these Han officials and soldiers is indeed the most perfect idea. Huang Taiji felt that he and He Li really helped him solve the big problem: "But how to break through Nanshan and sweep Lushun Fort, the prince still didn't say it?"

"I'm already confident!"

He Heli said confidently: "I heard someone say the last time that when Prince Huang Taiji attacked Nanshan the last time, Liu Peng and the Longkou Army had reached a point where they almost ran out of bullets, and they were simply singing the empty city plan!"

This was the first time Huang Taiji heard about this, but he was an extremely smart person. He Heli understood it as soon as he said it. However, although he figured it out, there was no regret medicine in this world.

He could only smile bitterly and said, "There should be something like this. These islands are extremely scattered. I was wondering why they tried hard to show their advantage in firepower! It turned out that they were about to finish their medicine!"

He Heli continued: "Guns and cannons are bombarded, I am not as good as thieves. When the white soldiers meet, ten thieves are not as good as one of my armored soldiers. At that time, they will take Han soldiers as their vanguards and fight for a long time, and consume their energy, ammunition, and soldiers. When they are tired, they will use their armored soldiers to siege and break through Nanshan in one fell swoop."

Huang Taiji nodded repeatedly: "The prince has been in Jinzhou for a long time and knows the love of the thief. This is indeed the best strategy!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but regret that he did not break through Lushun Fort last battle in Nanshan, so that now he had to spend several times of his efforts and casualties to break through the Nanshan defense line.

If he had known that the defenders in Nankou had reached the point where they had run out of ammunition and food, he would have to break through Nanshan even if he had to fight all his troops. Why would he have to run around to chase and suppress the Longkou army every day?

However, although he agreed with He Heli's opinion, He Heli knew that he had not made up his mind in the end, so He Heli decided to add a last fire to Huang Taiji: "Since the battle of Nanshan, Zhengbai Banner has been afraid of attacking the enemy camp in Nanshan for death because of his soldiers. I am no exception. I am thinking about surprise attacks and night attacks. However, after seeing the situation of Jili fighting in Nanshan, I now understand that a frontal attack is the best way."

When he thought of attacking the Nanshan defense line head-on, even Huang Taiji frowned. This is not just empty talk, but the price of blood on the white flag. Although most of the blood flowing is the blood of Han soldiers and Mongolian soldiers, the Eight Banners soldiers must have to pay a great price.

He Heli continued: "Why is the best way to attack head-on? It is because the island thieves in Nanshan have the same idea as our Zhengbai Banner. They are determined to deal with our surprise attacks, night attacks, and sneak attacks. The preparations in this regard are very thorough and even to the extreme, but in front of the heavy armor of the soldiers, these arrangements are not worth talking about!"

He Heli said something a bit exaggerated, but Huang Taiji really listened to it. If He Heli hadn't reminded him, he would have thought that it would seem to be quite feasible to attack Nanshan. The Ming army in Nanshan was indeed devoted to all his energy to deal with the surprise attacks, sneak attacks, and night attacks of the Jin soldiers, and did not put much effort into the most critical defense line arrangement.

Now He Heli said excitedly: "Since that's the case, my Jin soldiers cannot miss the opportunity. Anyway, the Han soldiers who died and injured the most were the Han soldiers. Those Han officials and Han soldiers who could survive can also use corpses and blood to prove their loyalty. Moreover, Prince Huang Taiji, you should know the biggest problem with the Ming army!"

"I see!"

Huang Taiji's eyes lit up.

He knew what He Heli said, that is, except for a battle in Nanshan, the Longkou Army had never fought a large-scale battle. They only had combat experience at most, and there were very few old troops with combat experience.

If Huang Taiji led the Jin army in Fuzhou to go south with all their might, then in this large-scale battle, the defects of the Longkou army's inability to fight a tough battle will be fully revealed. The larger the scale of the war, the more cruel it is, the greater the advantage of the Jin soldiers. Maybe a night attack will cause the entire Longkou army, which has little combat experience, to collapse.

Not to mention that the greatest advantage of the army lies in the firepower of the discharge. As long as the Han soldiers use the medicines and artillery shells of the Ming army, the Jin soldiers will naturally be sure to win. Even if the Han soldiers cannot consume all the ammunition of the Ming army, as long as these cannon fodders consume more than half of the ammunition of the Ming army, the Jin soldiers will still be sure to win.

The reason why Huang Taiji had such confidence was naturally because the Jin army had decades of history and accumulation of blood and fire fighting, and there were many Niu Lu Ezhen. Niu Lu Zhangjing had been fighting all his life and had extremely rich combat experience. The Longkou Army had extremely limited combat experience and lacked the determination and preparation for fighting big battles. Once it lost its firepower advantage, it would be impossible to continue.

"After breaking Nanshan, will Lushun Fort be ready to go down soon?"

"After the Nanshan Mountain is down, Lushun Fort will definitely not be able to hold on!"

After receiving He Heli's clear answer, Huang Taiji regained his confidence. He told He Heli: "Mr., since that's the case, I'll go with you. Let's fight with Father Khan to take down Lushun Fort, so as not to worry about Father Khan's entry into Guangning!"

But at the end, Huang Taiji said it very strongly: "If my father Khan didn't even agree to this little thing, I wouldn't be this prince."

Everyone originally thought that they could have a good New Year, but the entire court was turbulent this Spring Festival. As for the reason for the turbulence, it was naturally because the Zhejiang Party suddenly concentrated its offensive and criticized Liu Peng, the hero who fought against the Jin Dynasty who recovered Lushun Fort and killed 500 levels in Nanshan.

Shao Fuzhong of the Zhejiang Party directly charged Liu Peng with the serious crime of "since twenty". The entire court took a breath of air conditioning for this. Everyone said that Shao Fuzhong gave up on himself and didn't want to live any more.

But the problem is that it is not just Shao Fuzhong who gave up on himself, but the entire Zhejiang Party. Even Fang Congzhe, who was resigned in the hometown, stood up and said Liu Peng's gossip.

Although the Zhejiang Party's attack was very persuasive and had a lot of real evidence, both the Donglin Party and the Chu Party still felt that the Zhejiang Party was causing trouble for the court. If Liu Peng was replaced, there would definitely be a second Xiong Tingbi incident and would definitely repeat the second Liaoshen Battle.

It is easy to change Liu Peng, but throwing away Lushun Fort means that all the pressure of the Jin soldiers has been transferred to the Guangning front. However, the biggest problem is that although everyone's views are relatively consistent, the specific strategy is in the opposite direction, even to the point where the chickens and ducks talk.
