Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 435 Supervisor Lu Sees Through Huang Taiji's Deception
At the beginning of March in the 14th year of Apocalypse, Emperor Zhu Youjiao of the Ming Dynasty formally issued an order to punish Huang Taiji on the grounds that the tribute offered by Jiannu was insufficient.

In mid-March, three soldiers in Iron Horse Fort on the Liaodong border were killed, leaving behind the body of a Tartar.

Lu Xiangsheng, who had returned to Liaodong, immediately sent someone to question Jiannu when he learned about the incident, but Jiannu sent a strong Eight Banners force from Yigushan to directly attack the Iron Horse Fort at the front of Guangning City in the Ming Dynasty.

However, at this time, all the troops of the Imperial Guard had already assembled in the area of ​​Guangning City. When the eight-banner force from Gushan appeared, Jiao Lian, the general of the Second Army Cavalry and the Third Brigade of the Imperial Guard, rushed to the iron horse immediately under the order of Lu Xiangsheng. Fort directly confronted this solid Eight Banners team directly from the front.

At this time, Jiannu still adopted the military-civilian system of soldiers and civilians in the Nurhachi period, that is, three hundred Dings were regarded as one Niulu, five Niulu were regarded as a Jiala, and Wujiala was regarded as a Gushan.

Now it's just an attack on a small iron horse castle at the front of Guangning City. Jianu directly dispatched an elite of the Eight Banners from Gushan. I have to admit that this specification is a bit high. Ning Cheng was determined to win.

Most of the Liaodong officers and soldiers stationed along the defense line of Guangning City couldn't help but gasp. Many of them were frontier soldiers who had followed Zhao Liaojiao, Man Gui and others to guard Liaodong for many years, but they had never seen Jiannu dispatching such a one-off attack. Many armored soldiers.

Many people began to worry about the third cavalry brigade of the imperial guards. Even Man Gui asked whether to transfer his own cavalry to fight against this mighty Eight Banners brigade.

But Lu Xiangsheng did not agree to Man Gui's proposal. As the commander-in-chief, Lu Xiangsheng did not worry about whether Jiao Lian, the general of the third brigade, could defeat the Eight Banners force with more than 2 armored soldiers and nearly [-] auxiliary soldiers.

He is now wondering what the slave-building Huang Taiji is going to do. He actually sent such a capable army directly to attack a small iron horse castle. What is his purpose?
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't figure it out for the time being, just like he discussed with His Majesty Zhu Youxiao and Yang Sichang, the left servant of the Ministry of War when he met the emperor, they thought that Huang Taiji would fight against Ming in Shengjing City or Hetuala City.

But unexpectedly, this Huang Taiji would take the initiative to attack Daming, and directly dispatched Yigushan's Eight Banners force.

"Why did Huang Taiji suddenly abandon Shengjing and Hetuala and suddenly attack the Iron Horse Fort in Guangning City? Guangning City is very important to Jiannu. If Guangning City is lost, Jiannu can directly Go to Monan, or go south to the Daling River area to push Shanhaiguan, but the Shanhaiguan area is guarded by our Ming army. If Huang Taiji wants to take the initiative to attack, he can only go to Monan, but he doesn't have to occupy Guangning to go to Monan. City, especially for the cavalry, they can walk through Dushikou."

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng thought of this, he suddenly realized some kind of bad result in his mind, and slammed the table: "Not good!"

Ao Bai, Fu Dahai and other senior generals of the imperial guards beside him were so frightened that they couldn't help being stunned, and secretly wondered why Supervisor Lu was calm and calm at the beginning, why he suddenly frowned and acted so violently.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't have time to give a detailed explanation to Chang Yanling and Aobai, so he turned around and said to them directly:
"The main force of the Eight Banners of Jiannu is probably ready to go to Dushikou to attack our Monan. Aobai, your cavalry immediately rushed to Yaoziling to block the main force of Jiannu who came from Dushikou. At the same time, Pegasus chased to Dandong. Stop Chang Yanling's [-]st Army and Lu Xiangyu's [-]th Army, the place of this decisive battle is not Hetuala but Monan Xilin Gol Mansion!"

Lu Xiangsheng had to admit that His Majesty was right, this Huang Taiji who built a slave was really not a simple person, he was indeed a very cunning person.

Even now he can't help sighing secretly, it's no wonder that Huang Taiji was able to retreat unscathed when he wiped out the Horqin and Khalkha tribes and Wu's father and son in the Ming Dynasty, and now he almost deceived himself in the past.

If it wasn't for my own foresight, I would have guessed his intentions when he learned that he sent a solid army to attack his Iron Horse Fortress, and realized that his purpose might be to perform a trick for himself to repair the plank road and secretly hide the old warehouse. I really didn't expect that Huang Taiji would resolutely give up fighting with Shengjing City and Hetuala City as important defense points, but jumped out directly, and even wanted to fight in his own territory of Ming Dynasty, and even wanted to sneak attack inside the pass.

Fortunately, it is still too late. On my side, the Second Army and the Third Army of the Imperial Guard have not yet entered the hinterland of Jiannu, so they can react quickly and rush directly to Monan to block the attack. In the south, there is no need to worry that these Eight Banners forces will harass other border towns in Daming and even sneak into the pass to cause even greater damage.

But now, the only thing that makes Lu Xiangsheng feel a little regretful is that the First Army and Fourth Army of the Imperial Guards have already shipped to North Korea. I am afraid that they are about to march towards Hetuala. By then, if they really let them capture the city of Hetuala, I'm afraid it's nothing more than fetching water from a bamboo basket, and the obtained Hetuala City is just an empty city, which cannot effectively annihilate Jiannu's vital force.

But now, all Lu Xiangsheng can do is to take advantage of the quick and flexible advantage of the Second Cavalry Army of the Imperial Guards to quickly rush to Yaoziling to intercept the Jiannu Eight Banners that may come from the direction of Dushikou.

At the same time, the Third Army of the Artillery Guards immediately rushed to Yaoziling. When the Second Army intercepted the enemy, they used the artillery advantage of the artillery to further contain the main force of Jiannu.

However, even so, with the flexibility of the Jiannu Eight Banners, I am afraid that it is difficult to rely on these two imperial guards to gather and wipe out Jiannu here. After all, they do not have an advantage in numbers and cannot fight a large encirclement and annihilation battle.

Lu Xiangsheng could only hope that he would be able to contact the First Army and Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard Army as soon as possible, and hoped that they could return to Yaoziling and Dushikou in Monan as quickly as possible.

In Lu Xiangsheng's view, it is no problem to use the Second Army and the Third Army of the Imperial Guard to contain the main force of slavery.

As long as the First Army and the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard arrive before Huang Taiji gives up breaking through the defense lines of the Second Army and the Third Army and realizes that they are likely to be surrounded, they can directly attack the Yaoziling area. All the main forces of slave building were wiped out, and it would be a breeze to recover places such as Shengjing City and Hetuala.

Lu Xiangsheng is worthy of being an excellent commander. He can quickly make tactical changes according to the battlefield response, and can quickly create a new way of annihilating the enemy. His strategy has been resolutely given up by him, because Huang Taiji is no longer willing to play like this, if he continues to follow his will rigidly, it will only make this easy battle difficult to fight, not to mention that there are generals who have different fates. Say it.

Not only that, but Lu Xiangsheng also sent an order to Jiao Lian, the Third Brigade of the Second Army of the Imperial Guard, who was in charge of blocking one of the Gushan Eight Banners' powerful troops from the Iron Horse Fort, ordering him to fight to the death in the Iron Horse Fort and paralyze the establishment of slaves. , Let it mistakenly believe that his main force is still defending Guangning City and mistakenly believe that the Eight Banners of Iron Horse Fort are the main force of his slave establishment and are looking for opportunities to defeat it.
