"Whether we can surround Huang Taiji depends on tonight!"

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng also held a military meeting in Nalin City. In the government office lobby where you can see the stars and the moon as soon as you look up, Lu Xiangsheng, Huang Degong, Wu Sangui, Hou Gongji and other high-ranking officials were sitting on the rooftop.

The generals stood in a circle around the map table.

Wu Sangui, a member of the left army in front of the tent, said: "Huang Taiji didn't take any advantage during the day, but he didn't suffer a big loss. He must still have the illusion of defeating us. But he must not dare to fight us desperately. His method must be to survive."

Defeat us. So there will definitely be a night battle tonight, and we must use tonight to complete the siege of Huang Taiji's headquarters!

Because after dawn tomorrow, Huang Taiji's soldiers from the forward camp will definitely bring him the news that Hong Zhijun and Sun Zongbing are approaching Nalin City. If we can't surround Huang Taiji before then, he will have to

Ran away."

If there is any advantage that the Kingdom of Jin currently has over the armies in front of the Ming army, it is undoubtedly the reconnaissance capabilities of the forward battalion.

Scouts are always the king of soldiers, and they cannot be developed in just a few years. Hou Jin has at least thousands of white-armored soldiers who have been trained in the white mountains and black waters, and have been tempered in battles for a long time. Only Huang Taiji is willing to give up.

By using them and being willing to bear the losses of being shot in the dark, the Ming army would not be able to blind the Hou Jin army.

But now is the time when life is at stake. No matter how reluctant Huang Taiji is, he has to grit his teeth and spend his money to fight.

So this time around Nalin City were all the white-armored soldiers from the forward battalion. This was the most powerful and core combat force of Houjin!

Huang Degong, deputy general of the left army and horse army in front of the tent, took over Wu Sangui's topic, "Mr. Lu, uncle, you give me 2 cavalry regiments and 1,340 grenadiers, and 2 gun camps. I will take care of the artillery.

Get behind the slave thieves so that you can keep Huang Taiji!"

To retain Huang Taiji, we have to rely on artillery! We rely on 8 6-pound cannons and 12 24-pound black pot cannons that can move quickly on the battlefield.

As long as these artillery and cavalry are moved behind Huang Taiji, it will not be so easy for Huang Taiji to escape.

"Bring more cavalry guns and iron caltrops to prevent Huangtaiji from leaping over the wall and charging with cavalry!" Hou Gongji, deputy general of the left army infantry in front of the tent, said, "Tonight, the probability of the slave thieves bluffing is relatively high, and there is no need for cavalry guns in the front."

and caltrops.”

"That's great!" Huang Degong smiled, "If you stop the horse and gun, scatter the caltrops, plus 8 6-pound cannons, 12 3-pound cannons and 12 24-pound black pot cannons, even if Huang Taiji can break out, he will definitely

The losses have been heavy, and his sweat is almost over!"

Wu Sangui smiled: "It's not just that you're sweating profusely. You're a profuse sweater but you're not an official. If you can't do it anymore, you can still beg for your bones and return home to live in retirement."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he frowned: "That's right! Huang Taiji will definitely jump over the wall. How many people does he have? 60,000? 70,000? We only have 25,000! And we have to split it into parts.

Huang Taiji is really going to get impatient and concentrate his forces to break the siege, can we stop him?"

This is indeed a problem!

But Wu Sangui, Hei Wentao, He Daming and the others have calculated on their fingers that there cannot be too many soldiers here in Lincheng. If there are 50,000, no, 40,000, Huang Taiji will not even come!

If he doesn't come, how can you accomplish anything? Is it possible to really kill Shenyang? This is much more difficult than using 25,000 people to surround Huangtaiji in Nalin City, and it is impossible to send troops to attack Shenyang in the short term. You have to prepare 15 An army of 10,000 to 200,000 people, right? They have to be divided into several routes, and they have to occupy cities along the way to restore the rule of the Ming Dynasty. So few soldiers are enough? Is it possible to really pull tens of thousands of people to "go all the way"?

Moreover, Liaodong is so big and sparsely populated that it is difficult to defeat the enemy with food. If you want to have some insurance, you have to prepare more than one year's worth of food for an army of 200,000. Taking into account the losses during transportation, you have to prepare at least one to two hundred Thousands of stones!

By the way, there are also horse materials! One horse can equal five people!

In addition, if the Ming Dynasty really wanted to return to Liaodong, Zhu Youjian would inevitably have to open farmland again. It would not be profitable, and he would have to invest food and money!

Therefore, we still need to prepare well for the "Five Years of Ping Liao", and we will not be able to do our best for the time being.

The contribution that can be made now is Huang Taiji and the 60,000 to 70,000 troops he brought. These are all real contributions!

"It is indeed difficult to stop!" Wu Sangui pondered for a long time and had to admit this fact. The youth army in front of the tent was indeed very strong, but it was not strong enough to crush the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

"Since it's difficult to block," Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth and said with a serious face, "then we have to modify our strategy. After Deputy General Huang completes his detour, we will launch a fierce attack on Huang Taiji, but we must surround three buildings and one on the west. Give him a way to survive!"

"Okay!" Wu Sangui nodded, "I'll change the strategy right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rumbling sound of artillery came from the northeast. It was Cao Bianjiao's troops who had inserted themselves into the left flank of the Later Jin Army and were engaged in an artillery battle with the Later Jin Army.

"It was a lively fight," Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Huang Degong, "Vice-General Huang, your chance has come! Later I will have people use rocket launchers to bombard the right wing of the Jin army to cover your actions."

The sudden fire on the left wing of the Later Jin Army was because the Wu Zhenha Chao Battalion of the Later Jin Army had finally set up their cowhide cannons and could "blow" a few cannons hard.

Under the cover of the cowhide cannon, the troops of Zhenglan and Zhenghong flags sent by Abatai, who had taken over the siege of Cao Bianjiao's tribe, began to take turns to attack the Ming army who had already set up the Queyue Formation with their backs against the water, launching wave after wave of attacks. Onslaught of waves.

Cao Bianjiao did not show weakness, and immediately had 12 3-pound cannons pushed out to bombard the Hou Jin army. Moreover, he also used the short rest time this evening (Abatai was actually taking over the combat operations) to adjust the defense deployment , not only did they set up a moon-quenching formation with their backs against the water, but they also put out horse-repelling guns, and had people pile up sandbags to cover their soldiers.

The two sides were going back and forth on this front line, and the fight was lively.

At the same time, on the frontal battlefield commanded by Huang Taiji, the wheel harassment battle also began before dark. Houjin's cavalry, with three or four thousand flags as a group, began a round of attacks on the dozen or so gun formations of the Ming army. Another round of cavalry raids

Just when the situation seemed to be quite favorable for the Hou Jin Army, the scene that frightened Huang Taiji the most suddenly appeared after dark.

In the sky, dozens of flames shot up from the ground, then roared towards the right-wing position of the Jin Army, and then either exploded in the air, or slammed into the ground, exploding a fireball on the ground.

On the position on the right flank of the Hou Jin Army, flames suddenly burst into the sky again, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

"Great Khan, the Ming army's thunder arrows are blasting the battle line with the red flag!"

In fact, there was no need for Tan Tai to remind Huang Taiji that the red flag controlled by the two brothers Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo was being bombed!

However, Huang Taiji has known for a long time that the power of rocket explosions is really limited, but it just looks scary.

"It doesn't matter..." Huang Taiji was in a very good mood at this time, "The Southern Army is bluffing and wants us to turn our attention to the right wing, but I won't be fooled!"

Why is it so easy to deceive the Great Khan? This Great Khan is Sai Zhuge!

"You are so wise!" Tan Tai flattered him sincerely.

Huang Taiji smiled: "It's just a trick that even a three-year-old knows. How could you fool me?"

And just when Huang Taiji was full of confidence, a series of fierce night encounters were unfolding between the several thousand Ming Army roundabout troops led by Huang Degong and the guard troops of the Hou Jin Army!

The opportunity for the Hou Jin army to block the Ming army's outflanking troops was fleeting. Huang Degong's thousands of elite cavalrymen had already passed by the left side of the Hou Jin army carrying cannons and went around to the back of the Hou Jin army!
