"Tuhai! Tuhai... what are you talking about!"

Before Tu Hai could finish his words, Biliktu had already yelled, "What are you saying about dividing the troops into three groups? Is the prince a fool like Yang Hao? Even if the prince has never fought many battles, there would still be Nikan, Yue Le and Tan.

Tai, there is Leng Sengji, there is Zhan Dai, there is Gang Lin, there is Yan Bilong... Which one of them is not a veteran general with great achievements in battle? With them leading troops to charge, will they be afraid of the more than ten thousand elites of the Ming army?

"

Tuhai just shook his head and said nothing.

Biliktu added: "Moreover, the prince's ambush on three sides is not divided into three routes. The ambush on three sides is very close. One side is blocking the north road, blocking the way forward for the Ming army. The other side is ambushing the east side, preparing to flank the enemy and kill the enemy.

Forced towards the Liaohe River. Along the way are the warriors of our Qiaoqi Battalion, responsible for outflanking the enemy's rear... There are more than 60,000 soldiers in the three groups. With five against one, how can we lose?"

With five enemies against one, and with all the favorable terrain, how can we not win?"

After listening to what Biliktu said, Tuhai was speechless for a moment. Because he also knew that Doni's troop formation could not have such a big mistake as Yang Hao. And the Ming army should not be aware of Doni's formation.

Intention... Because the troops who followed him south thought that Doni had returned to Shenyang.

Logically speaking, Dhoni's three-sided ambush formation should be foolproof!

But the Ming army that landed at the mouth of the Liao River was too strong, unreasonably strong!

"Tuhai," Biliktu looked at Tuhai without speaking, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Come with me to see the prince... Don't talk nonsense when you meet the prince! Now the war is coming, how can the prince tolerate it?

No one can shake the morale of the army." He paused, "If there are fewer people following you back, let's just say that they were dispersed during the retreat... As for the combat power of the Ming army, just mention it emphatically.

.”

After hearing this, Tuhai felt a chill on the back of his neck... Fortunately, Biliktu was a good friend, otherwise when he came to Donnie and told the truth, his head would have been cut off to correct the problem.

Audiovisual?

You really can’t talk nonsense!

...

"Tuhai, according to what you said, this Ming army is really strong!"

About thirty or forty miles away on the east bank of the Liao River, in a fortress called Guchengtun, Tuhai finally saw Donnie who was in a state of excitement. After seeing Donnie, he didn't dare to tell the truth - then

You are irresponsible for your own head; you are not completely telling lies - that would be a disgrace to your own conscience.

So Tu Hai came up with a half-truth and a half-false story. On the one hand, he highlighted the strength of the Ming army; on the other hand, he concealed his losses... He only said that he was ambushed during the retreat and the team was broken up.

It is not easy to lure the enemy to fake defeat. It is common for the enemy to break up and the fake defeat turns into a real defeat. Of course, Doni is very dissatisfied, but he cannot kill Tuhai because of this. Otherwise, this will happen in the future.

Who will do the dangerous job?

"It's really strong..." Tu Hai knelt on the ground, so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head - because he was afraid of death and sorry for his ancestors!

"Your Majesty," Biliketu said, "I suggested that Prince An dig trenches and build forts around Dongchang Fort to take a defensive position. First, the Ming army would be severely defeated by the defense, and then Prince Jingjin would launch a side attack. The Ming army would not be able to withstand it.

Stay here, I, together with Zhan Dai and Tan Tai, will lead the Xiaoqi battalion to attack, we will definitely defeat the Ming army."

Doni nodded, "Yue Le is good at defense. He can dig trenches and build fortifications... Nikan is good at attacking fiercely. He can't go wrong in attacking the enemy's flanks. There are more than 20,000 people in each of their two armies. Together with

Together we are four times as powerful as the enemy, there is no way we can’t defeat them! That’s it!”

He raised his voice and said, "I'm here to pass on this king's decree: The survival of our Qing Dynasty and the homes of all the armies will depend on this battle! To protect our country, we must advance without retreating! After the victory, I, the king, will be as rich and noble as all the armies!"

"

It is impossible to share wealth and honor because there is no wealth anymore, but it is still possible to share joys and sorrows!

After winning this battle, Dhoni can still share the joys and sorrows with the people under his command. If he fails to win... he will really be doomed!

...

When Doni adjusted his deployment and prepared to give the Ming army a head-on attack, Qin Mingtao and Li Shaowen had already recovered their dispersed troops and regrouped around a manor called Wangtianzhuang on the east bank of the Liao River.

The reason why Qin Mingtao and Li Shaowen wanted to assemble their troops was not because they found an ambush ahead, but because they thought they had annihilated Tuhai's troops - the fish had happily eaten up all the bait, and of course they had to squint comfortably for a while.

.

So Qin Mingtao ordered the release of signal rockets to withdraw his troops, and ordered the troops stationed at Liangfangkou Pass (an infantry regiment and a large number of baggage troops) to go north to rendezvous. At the same time, he also sent a small reconnaissance force to search northward - starting from Wagua

Since then, the Jiubian teenagers who have been engaged in 997 training for six years all year round are familiar with light infantry tactics, and of course they can serve as scouts. Moreover, there is a large sea of ​​wheat to the north of Wangtianzhuang, which is very conducive to covering the reconnaissance of small groups of infantry.

action.

And just as the soldiers of the Young Guards Division were searching north of Wangtianzhuang, the first heavy snow of the year finally fell in the Northeast. It was also extremely heavy! It only snowed heavily in one day and one night, and between heaven and earth,

It was a vast expanse of white. The wheat that had not been harvested due to lack of manpower and the fighting between the two armies was all frozen to death and rotted in the ground, becoming fertilizer to nourish the soil. The sea of ​​wheat soon turned into a snowfield, and the cold

The wind blew by, raising snowflakes that had not yet frozen, and the fog was like a fog, which reduced the visibility a lot. The large and small rivers in the Northeast also began to freeze, even the wide Liaohe River was no exception. The storm only lasted one night.

It was so cold that a thin layer of ice floated on the river.

Although Qin Mingtao's young soldiers have lived in Yingtian Mansion with a relatively warm climate for six years, before sending troops this time, Emperor Zhu had prepared enough clothes for them to withstand the severe cold in the Northeast. Moreover, these young soldiers were in Laoshan-Pukou

At that time, they had to conduct a lot of outdoor adaptation training every winter. Especially after it snowed in Jiangbei, their outdoor training became more frequent. Sometimes they would even brave the snow to go north of the Huaihe River and stay in the snow for a whole day.

moon!

So these young soldiers can fully adapt to the early winter in Northeast China now, but when the really harsh winter comes, it's hard to say whether they can adapt.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Qin Mingtao, Zhang Shaowen and the others. If they cannot fight a few more battles before mid-October and push the front to Liaoyang, then the Ming army on the Northeast battlefield will really have to prepare for the winter.

He was immersed in writing a memorial in a very warm room with a stove, reporting the situation of the just-concluded Battle of Kongjiapu to Emperor Zhu who was far away in Tianjin. The memorial was written in vernacular, and Emperor Zhu prohibited the army from writing reports in classical Chinese.

and issuing orders are all spoken in vernacular within the system of the Generalissimo's Office, and there is no ambiguity between reports and orders.

Therefore, the senior generals of the Ming army with limited proficiency in classical Chinese could write memorials to Emperor Zhu by themselves without the need for a master.

The memorial had just been written and while he was checking for typos, the door was suddenly pushed open. After a gust of cold wind, Li Shaowen, the commander of the army, had appeared in front of Qin Mingtao.

"Commander, another Donglu army has been discovered!"

Qin Mingtao suddenly raised his head: "Where? How many people are there?"

"To the east of Niuyayi, the number of people is ominous, but there are always around 20,000, mainly infantry!"

It turns out that the scouts of the Young Guards Division found Nikan's troops!

"A fight? Have you captured any prisoners?"

Li Shaowen nodded, "We captured the prisoners, but we didn't bring them back...According to the interrogation, the army was led by the puppet prince Nikan of Donglu, and there were about twenty Jia La. They

Originally we were marching north to return to Shenyang, but we suddenly turned around at Kalahe Fort, and then we arrived east of Niuyayi to wait for orders."

"What do they want to do?" Qin Mingtao was a little confused, "Why don't they act together with Tu Hai? That way the chance of winning is better."

Li Shaowen laughed and said: "Doni must be a young man who doesn't know how to fight and is giving blind orders!"
