On the map, the posture of the entire army commanded by Zhu Youjian has been marked with small flags.

This map was not in the traditional style of the Ming army, but was made by Zhu Youjian in the style of the Nanjing Lecture Hall. Except for his young personal guards, everyone else was a little uncomfortable with it.

After almost a year of training, Zhu Youjian's staff team has taken shape - he has learned real skills in the emperor's training class for more than fifty years. Not only has he practiced peerless martial arts (black gun shooting), but he has also mastered

The little stuff in the martial arts hall has been chewed up. Now I can completely set an example for generals and teach a group of future famous generals of the Ming Dynasty.

As for those who followed him to learn the art of war, in addition to more than a hundred young guards, there were also teachers such as Hong Chengchou, Chen Qiyu, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng...whose teacher is responsible for teaching!

However, Zhu Youjian's knowledge was too great. How could he teach it in one year? So he had teachers and students who only learned a little bit.

What is taught to teachers is different from what is taught to students.

What the four teachers mainly learned was the "Taizu Spear Phalanx" - of course, we can't say "Spanish Phalanx". If you mention the four feudal bureaucrats who were Jinshi, they may not be willing to learn it. So Zhu Youjian put Spanish

The phalanx is said to have become Taizu's spear phalanx!

This is the formation used by Emperor Taizu Gao to fight the Mongolian cavalry! Taizu used spears as fortresses, fire blunderbuss to kill prisoners, swords and cards to defend the formation, and then the cavalry and spear forts cooperated with each other to cover each other and provide

The arrogant Mongolian and Yuan army killed them with fatal blows.

Although this set of Taizu's spear phalanx has been forgotten by the increasingly decaying Ming army, there are still pictures of the formation left by Emperor Taizu Gao hidden in the palace, so it can still be restored!

As for Zhu Youjian's personal guards, because they followed him every day, they learned more skills. Not only did they learn "Taizu's Spear Square Formation" and "Taizu's Horse Riding Assault Formation", they also learned "Taizu's Marching Drawing"

"Method", "New Cavalry Fire Gun Technique" (Black Spear Technique), "New Infantry Fire Gun Technique".

In short, after learning these tactics, you may not necessarily become a famous general, but everyone will become a good general.

The map now placed in front of Zhu Youjian was drawn by the young guards such as Hei Wentao and Cao Bianjiao according to Zhu Youjian's instructions. It cannot be said to be very accurate, but it can clearly understand the situation of the army.

Zhu Youjian now has a total of about 56,000 troops, including about 10,000 cavalry in front of the tent, 20,000 Datong Army, 6,000 Xinjing Camp, 4,000 Xuanfu Army, 13,000 Yanshan Army and Miyun Army, and the armies of Xing and Hui Prefectures.

There are 2,000 household soldiers and about 1,000 artillery troops in front of the tent.

This army was now divided into two parts. Gao Hongtu, Zhao Lianjiao, and Sun Zushou led 13,000 Yanyun troops to station on both sides of the Rehe River to protect the people there and continue to build the city.

And Zhu Youjian, Man Gui (commanded the Datong Army), Hei Yunlong (commanded the Xuanfu Army), Lu Xiangsheng (commanded the Xinjing Camp), Sun Yuanhua (commanded the artillery army), Zhu Chunchen (commanded the military soldiers of Xing and Hui two states)

Others led the remaining 43,000 people in a circle around the Luanhe River Valley, entering both sides of the open Kuanhe River, and advanced to the upper reaches of the Kuanhe River, to the long-abandoned Fuyu Acropolis area. They were also entrenched in Qingcheng, that is,

Originally the Ming Dynasty's new city acropolis, Huang Taiji's army faced off across the Hamulin River.

Now the 43,000 troops following Zhu Youjian have spread out on Fuyuwei's territory. Whether these tens of thousands of troops can fight, an expert will know by looking at their unfolding situation - if tens of thousands of troops huddle together,

If you dare not unfold it, you will definitely not be able to fight.

The troops that can fight will usually spread out widely. They will set up many strongholds outside the main camp where the main force is concentrated, occupying strategic points and intersections to shield the main force and cover the food routes. At the same time, they will use elite cavalry to cover the surrounding areas and drive them away.

and destroy the opponent's reconnaissance cavalry and pawns. Usually before the main decisive battle begins, the enemy does not know the situation and specific location of one's own army (of course the approximate location cannot be concealed).

But the specific location and deployment cannot be known, otherwise it will be easy to be surprised - if the opponent is not that strong, then they will be forced to huddle up, without cover, no cover, and exposed naked

, and you have to worry all the time about being raided, being taken out of the way, being surrounded...

This is called a good defender who hides under the Nine Earths; a good attacker who moves above the Nine Heavens!

On the Hamulin River battlefield in March of the second year of Chongzhen, the Ming army and the Hou Jin army were obviously opponents of the same level.

Both sides can "hide", but neither has the ability to make the opponent shrink actively.

The Hamulin River became the dividing line between the two sides.

To the south of the Hamulin River, Zhu Youjian's cavalry in front of the tent had a complete advantage, making it difficult for the Hou Jin army to cross the river for reconnaissance to approach the Ming army's camp in Fuyu Acropolis.

However, north of the Hamulin River, the Ye Bu Shu sent by Zhu Youjian suffered several losses - even the cavalry in front of the tent was far inferior to the Houjin cavalry in terms of individual combat effectiveness. At the Hamulin River

To the south, on the territory where the Ming army had the advantage, they could use the "black gun ambush" tactic against the Jin cavalry, but after crossing the Hamulin River, it would be difficult to ambush them.

As for the second trump card of the black-gun mule soldiers that Zhu Youjian knew well in his previous life - night fighting, the cavalry in front of the tent cannot learn it for the time being because they don't have flintlock guns!

If you use a matchlock gun at night, people will see you!

In Zhu Youjian's imperial tent, the generals following him all gathered around the map table. They all knew Zhu Youjian's calculations. Zhu Youjian is currently building a city in Rehe.

On the one hand, they were also building a city in Fuyuwei. At the same time, they took advantage of the flood season in the Luanhe River to transport food from Yongping Prefecture to Rehe and Fuyuwei. It was clear that they wanted to confront the Hou Jin Army.

Because the supply line of the Houjin Army was longer, although there was also the Liaohe River Waterway, because the Houjin side did not have enough ships to use, the Liaohe River Waterway could not play its role at all, and logistical transfers were of course extremely difficult.

Then the Jin Army's farming in Mameng Mountain had just begun, and it was impossible to support the consumption of so many troops and households in Mameng Mountain and the Hamulin River.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian's initial plan was to consume military rations and fight for supplies with the Houjin Army in the Mameng Mountain-Hamulin River area. Even if he fought for a year and a half and exhausted his opponents, he would still win.

Although a victory that consumes troops and food is not good-looking, it can still win the hometown of Daning Guard. The headquarters of the Peking Dusi and the fiefdom of King Ning were both in Daning Guard, which already shows the value of this land.

Once the Daning Guards are in hand, the Ming army will have a great advantage in the Yanshan area! Even if Huang Taiji comes out three times and four out of Yanshan, he will be unable to reverse the decline.

But last night, Zhu Youjian received an urgent report from Princess Wuliangha from the Xuanfu. He learned that Lindan Batur had taken some wrong medicine and had led 20,000 cavalry through thousands of miles of pine forests and marched towards the Huanghe River Basin.

Got it!

"Lindan Batur is definitely not Huang Taiji's opponent. If he ventures into the Huanghe River this time, he is very likely to suffer a disastrous defeat..." Zhu Youjian shook his head and said, "And once he is defeated in the Huanghe River, Huang Taiji's

The situation is open! Because a bunch of Mongolian wallflowers will most likely fall to Huang Taiji. When the time comes, Huang Taiji will cross the thousands of miles of pine forest and march towards the Bashang grassland. We will not be able to continue to drain the Mameng Mountain-Hamulin River.

Got it!"

Hu Tu Dun Khan actually dared to cross a thousand miles of pine forest, which was a bit beyond Zhu Youjian's expectations, and also disrupted his deployment - he was now worried about garrisoning troops in Ma Mengshan - Huang Taiji of Hamulin River sent elite troops north to Huanghe River.

Go to a decisive battle with Lin Dan Batur.

Once Lin Dan Batur is defeated, Huang Taiji will be able to march west of Qianli Pine Forest!

If the situation is worse and Lindan Batur is killed on the bank of Huanghe River, it is hard to say whether his Han tribe will be divided into several pieces.

Once the Han tribe splits, Huang Taiji may absorb part of it to strengthen his own power.
