When the two Liaodong garrison divisions were fully expanding their troops in Liaoyang, the two infantry divisions that had completed the reorganization immediately entered four or five counties on the Liaoyang line in regiments. In the middle of the Later Jin and Liaodong, they had a relatively solid defense line. This light novel is from

However, this line of defense that stretches for hundreds of miles is still feasible to prevent the large-scale invasion of the Later Jin Tartars. However, there is no way to these support points for the small-scale harassing troops sent by the Tartars. They can only watch the small-scale Tartar cavalry, whose head and tail, penetrate into Liaodong along the gap between the support points, and it is beyond the reach of chasing...

However, facing each Tartar cavalry with a total strength of less than 500 people, the regiment commanders and division commanders who defended various support points did not take them seriously.

In their eyes, these Tartar cavalry were not even enough to block their teeth in front of a field infantry regiment of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Even if they went deep into Liaodong, they could not cause any big waves.

However, what these officers did not expect was that their contempt directly brought a devastating disaster to the people of Liaodong.

More than a month ago, the Tartars' purpose of attacking Liaodong was to take Liaodong as their own and turn it into land of the Later Jin Dynasty. Therefore, there was no slaughter of the Han people in the territory. Because these people in Liaodong would likely become their own slaves and their own private property in the near future.

In this case, no matter how stupid the Tartars are, they will not attack their private property.

However, in this harassing war, the Tartars held a completely opposite attitude than more than a month ago.

That is to destroy Liaodong as much as possible... Since you can't get Liaodong, you must never hand over a complete Liaodong to the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army, so that the Tiger and Leopard Army can gain a foothold in Liaodong.

With this idea in mind, the Tartars had just crossed the defense line and entered Liaodong, and they turned into an angry lion, killing people when they saw them, and robbing the village when they saw them...

In a word, the Han people in Liaodong are not regarded as human beings.

Thousands of elite Tartars of Zhenghuang Banner, and just two days after entering Liaodong, thousands of Han people were brutally massacred by these Tartars. What’s more important is that among these thousands, three villages were directly slaughtered by the Tartars. No one could leave behind even a living person...

Faced with these tragic massacres, a feeling of fear of talking about the Tartars immediately spread in Liaodong.

Not only that, because these news spread to the army bit by bit, the Second Infantry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which was completely formed by the Liao people, and the two garrison divisions that were still in the process... gradually showed signs of unstable morale.

After all, their families are all in Liaodong. Among the Han people who have been slaughtered by the Tartars, there are likely their families. Of course, even if their families are still alive, they may face the fate of being slaughtered by the Tartars at any time. After all, these Tartars are in Liaodong and have no idea who their next target is?

Of course, it is impossible to hide such a big thing from Wei Zheng who is still in Liaodong.

At this moment, Wei Zheng, who was almost calm in front of his subordinates, was sitting in the conference room specially vacant in the Liaoyang General's Mansion, furious in front of all the division commanders.

The clenched fist hit the oval conference table in front of him and shouted: "What are you doing for?... Two days have passed. Not only has one of the Tartars penetrated into Liaodong, but they have not even found traces of these Tartars..."

"If we cannot eliminate these Tartars who are inferior to those of beasts and allow them to burn, kill and loot in Liaodong. It won't take long to send a large army to drive us away. We will leave Liaodong in shame amid the insults of the people of Liaodong. We will hand over the Liaodong that we have obtained to the Tartars..."

When everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, Commander Luo Jingshan said unexpectedly.

"Master, I have something to say..."

After receiving Wei Zheng's affirmation, Luo Jingshan spoke directly: "Master, the situation we are facing in front of us reminded me of the tactics that Dorgon used against us half a year ago when we fought against Dorgon the Tartar in Shaanxi."

"Use the cavalry's speed advantage and leave with one blow, constantly weakening our strength."

"When we were in Shaanxi, we took advantage of Dorgon's shortcomings in food shortage and broke the tactic designated by Dorgon in one fell swoop."

"But, this method doesn't work if it is used here..."

"As far as I know, there are only a few thousand Taurus cavalry entering Liaodong. In such a large Liaodong, even if they rely on fighting to support the war, they can last for more than half a year... And we obviously can't wait for half a year. Therefore, we will finally believe that in the face of the Tartars, which are specifically targeted at our firearms, we must make long-term plans and designate new countermeasures..."

At this time, Wei Zheng, who was angry, slowly calmed down.

However, the murderous aura and gloom on their faces did not change at all from beginning to end. It was obvious that Wei Zheng, who was sitting at the top of the conference room, had already hated the thousands of Tartars who were deeply in Liaodong...

When the atmosphere left in the conference room became more and more solemn again, Chief of Staff Sun Chengzong spoke very promptly: "In addition to Commander Luo's analysis just now, I think the cunning Tartars also see one of our shortcomings. That is, they just entered Liaodong, their foundation was unstable and their troops were insufficient..."

"If our troops are sufficient, the people in the entire Liaodong will be the same as us. No matter how powerful the Tartars penetrated into Liaodong, no matter how powerful the dragon is, they will not be able to escape the pursuit of tens of thousands of elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong..."

"Even if we want to solve the problem of people's hearts, we will not see any results in a short period of time. Therefore, I think that if we want to solve the thousands of Tartars that have penetrated into Liaodong, we must immediately solve the problem of our insufficient troops. As long as we have sufficient troops, I will definitely not let these Tartars continue to be so rampant in Liaodong..."

As soon as Sun Chengzong finished speaking, a helpless voice remained in the conference room: "Although the idea is good, we are in Liaodong, with only three divisions of troops... Except for the two infantry divisions defending the Tatars, there are only thousands of cavalry left of the cavalry division. Liaodong is so big and there are not many cavalry in many Tatars. With just a few thousand cavalry, maybe even the shadow of the Tatars cannot be found..."

As soon as the words fell, another division commander followed and reminded him: "Master, do we want to directly mobilize troops from the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi... We have been in Liaodong for so long. Several divisions should have been reorganized in the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi. As long as we transfer one or two of them, the burning, killing and looting Tartars in Liaodong, even if they put their arms around, they cannot escape our pursuit..."

Although his idea was good, he was opposed by Chief of Staff Sun Chengzong as soon as he proposed it.

"No, the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi are too far from Liaodong. Even if you take the water route, it will take about half a month. Think about it, in this half month, how many people will die in the entire Liaodong territory? Is it 50,000 or 100,000... Can we, who have no foundation in Liaodong, bear such a huge loss?"

"I won't say far away, just talk about your most familiar subordinates... Do you think that the Liaodong soldiers under your command will stay in the military camp peacefully and watch their families be massacred by the Tartars?"

Just when everyone fell into deep thought again because of Sun Chengzong's denial, Wei Zheng, whose face was gloomy from beginning to end, suddenly spoke.

"The army of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces cannot be counted for... However, our own army in Liaodong can be counted for..."

Wei Zheng just finished speaking, his face suddenly became louder and Sun Chengzong couldn't help but exclaim...

"Master, are you talking about two garrison troops who are undergoing reorganization..."

Wei Zheng nodded without comment and replied: "It's the garrison division... In the entire Liaodong territory, in addition to three field divisions, we can also use only two garrison divisions."

After receiving Wei Zheng's affirmation, Sun Chengzong's shock on his face was quickly replaced by concern. He reminded Wei Zheng: "Master, you must be careful... The two garrison divisions, except for less than 1,500 veterans, had more than 10,000 people left. A few days ago, they were ordinary people who had never even touched muskets... and sent them to the battlefield, wouldn't they let them die?"

With several eyes fixed on each other, Wei Zheng replied helplessly: "I know what you said... But, is there any other way besides letting them go? Since they have become soldiers, they must fulfill their responsibility to protect the country and their families... I am also driving the ducks on the shelves, there is no way..."

Seeing the worrying expression on Sun Chengzong's face getting stronger and stronger, Wei Zheng's words turned around and continued to say...

"But, don't worry too much..."

"Before the two garrison divisions have truly achieved combat effectiveness, no matter how brave I am, I dare not send them to the battlefield... So, my garrison's idea is to replace the two field infantry divisions with two garrison divisions that have not yet formed combat effectiveness. I believe that no matter how cunning the Tartars far away in the Later Jin Dynasty, no matter how cunning we dare to use a group of people who have just put down their hoes to defend the city..."

Sun Chengzong did not answer immediately, but quietly fell into deep thought

Soon, his eyes filled with worry shot out two rays of light.

As everyone watched, he shouted and affirmed: "Master, I agree to take this risk..."
