Fan Wencheng was by Huang Taiji's side at this time.
He said to Huang Taiji very respectfully: "I think there are three strategies at this time: upper, middle and lower."
Huang Taiji nodded slightly and signaled to him that it didn't matter.
"The best strategy is to seize this opportunity and annihilate Zhou Dunji's tribe. The middle strategy..."
"Use the best strategy!"
Huang Taiji didn't wait for Fan Wencheng to tell him the middle and worst strategies, and decisively chose the best strategy.
"Four Belles are wise!"
Fan Wencheng's eyes flashed with excitement, because what he looked forward to most was also the best option.
Huang Taiji said: "Mr. Fan, you were able to deliver confidential information this time despite the interference of two pigs, and finally escaped. You are truly a true hero."
"Master, that's a compliment. This is what a slave should do."
Huang Taiji dismounted himself, helped Fan Wencheng onto his horse and said, "From now on, sir, you will be by my side as a military advisor, so you don't have to take risks and lurk anymore."
Fan Wencheng made a gesture of tears of gratitude.
This time it was indeed a close call.
The good-for-nothing Sun Qing refused to listen to the dissuasion and foolishly responded to the Sichuan army's departure from Shenyang, thus wasting a great opportunity to break the city from within.
The idiot brother Fan Wencai, who was weak and fearful of death and did not want to continue to lurk, actually responded to Sun Qing and engaged in some self-righteous strategy with him.
Since they don't listen to you, then turn into ashes, just to distract your attention and cover your escape.
When Fan Wencai went to report the news, he was ready to run away.
Just at this moment, he discovered that Wang Hongyu had lured away many of Sun Qing's troops, and he judged that the Sichuan army was about to take action.
This time, Sun Qing was in the north, making it easier to contact Jiannu; Wang Hongyu was in the south, making it easier to contact other southern troops.
He then calculated that Zhou Dunji was going north to increase his troops.
In this case, he took advantage of the situation and ran away quickly, arriving at Jiannu's place half a day later than Fan Wencai.
He met Huang Taiji and told the real situation one by one.
Huang Taiji and others knew that Amin had fallen into the trap. However, Xianglan Qi was eager for revenge and had already set off on a hasty march, unable to catch up even with his fast horse.
Fan Wencheng simply suggested to Huang Taiji that "the mantis stalks the cicada, with the oriole behind".
Zhou Dunji's troops of the Southern Army must be exhausted after the battle with Amin of Xianglan Banner. At this time, Zhengbai Banner can just go over and annihilate him.
In order to give the Zhengbai Banner enough energy for the start of the battle, Huang Taiji marched at a normal speed and was not in a hurry to help the Xianglan Banner who was fighting hard.
Based on the intelligence from the investigation, Fan Wencheng also predicted that the Sichuan Army's light cavalry was guarding the direction of Jiannu, so Huang Taiji sent out elite troops to kill Ma Biao's Sichuan Army's light cavalry.
Pretending to be provocative, he threw Ma Biao's head in front of Wang Hongyu.
"Sibeile, my servant found information about Zhou Dunji in Shenyang. This person is very powerful..." Fan Wencheng lowered his voice and said.
"Sir, it's okay to say it. I, Huang Taiji, must listen to the truth."
Fan Wencheng said: "Destroying Zhou Dunji's tribe at the cost of losing the Xianglan Banner will do more good than harm to the masters. All we need is the Zhengbai Banner to hold them back, and then the other banners will go straight to Shenyang, cutting off Zhou Dunji's retreat..."
"good!"
…
Fan Wencheng was not caught.
Ma Biao and the first light cavalry were not returned.
The cavalry of Zhengbai Banner appeared, and Huang Taiji had already arrived.
Wang Hongyu, Zhou Dunji, Zhang Mingshi and others immediately led their troops to occupy the favorable terrain near the mountains and took a short rest to prepare for the next battle.
"Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui, and General Qi Jin will arrive with 10,000 troops in the afternoon. Qin Ling will also go to Shenyang, and Liaoyang will call for the next group of reinforcements."
Zhou Dunji informed the main generals and military officials of the situation. There were currently less than 4,000 Southern troops here and they must hold on until the afternoon.
As long as we hold on until the afternoon, reinforcements will arrive one after another.
Suddenly, the night warriors who had been sent out to investigate came back at full speed.
"Inform the general, more than 6,000 people from Zhengbai Banner are heading straight for us."
"Okay, let's take a rest after the formation!"
Zhou Dunji waved his hand, and the flags of the Ming army were waved and drums and trumpets sounded, preparing for the decisive battle with Zhengbai Banner.
It was already dawn at this time, and because of the relative lack of troops, we did not adopt the tactics of luring the enemy and ambush as at night.
The fog has dissipated, and a large number of white flags and armor gradually come into view.
Huang Taiji held his head high and rode high-profile at the forefront of the army. Fan Wencheng raised his chin high and accompanied Huang Taiji very proudly.
Zhou Dunji's expression remained unchanged and he looked at Zhengbai Qi with a serious face.
Wang Hongyu tightened his grip on the sledgehammer and stared at the target intently.
Zhengbai Banner advanced to the foot of the mountain ridge, and was two arrows away from the Confederate Army on the mountainside. It stopped and formed its formation.
The two soldiers and horses remained quiet, the murderous atmosphere quietly spread, and the war was about to break out.
Huang Taiji said loudly: "I heard that the Sichuan Army Zhou Dunji is just a subordinate of Liu Wei, and Liu Wei is nothing more than a loser!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Jiannu laughed exaggeratedly in the front row.
This was a vicious plan thought up by Fan Wencheng, specifically to anger Zhou Dunji and other Sichuan troops.
The Sichuan Army veterans had angry expressions on their faces. Most of them had been following Liu Wei for a long time. Although they were in their forties or fifties, their blood surged when they heard these insults.
"By the way, Ben Beile also brought a gift from Hetuala to General Zhou~"
Huang Taiji smiled and waved his hand, and a white flag cavalryman rode out.
He carried two processed human heads in his hands and swung the heads in the air as he rushed over.
When they were a hundred steps closer, the veteran of the Sichuan Army on the mountain suddenly cried out in grief.
"That is!"
"Ahhh!"
"Old General Liu!!!"
"General Liu!!!"
The slaves of Zhengbai Banner were carrying the heads of Sichuan Army Liu Wei, Liu Zhaosun and his son!!!
Among them, Liu Wei's head, with only half of his skull remaining, remains the same as when he died in battle.
The Sichuan soldiers were furious. Everyone gnashed their teeth and wished they could eat the slaves alive.
"General Zhou, are you here to get the gift?"
"Hahaha! It's just a piece of shit!"
Zhou Dunji's face turned livid at first, and then turned red a little bit. His breathing became heavier and heavier, and his eyes became more fierce.
Zhejiang Army Staff General Zhang Mingshi hurriedly advised him to calm down, but at this time Zhou Dunji and the Sichuan Army veterans could not listen to anything.
He's about to run away.
"No, we can't mess up the plan!"
Zhang Mingshi couldn't stop shouting, so he started to pull him away.
Suddenly Zhou Dunji turned his head sharply, his gaze so fierce that it almost penetrated Zhang Mingshi.
this......
"boom!"
With the sound of a gunshot, the Jiannu cavalry fell off their horses.
Wang Hongyu put down the musket, ran down the hillside quickly, and smashed the head of Jiannu who fell to the ground with a hammer.
He raised the heads of Liu Wei and Liu Zhaosun and walked back solemnly.
General Liu Wei...
You are the master of my body.
The ability that I have now and the opportunity to gather so many powerful troops around me are the result of my master's training.
Holding the two heads, they returned to the army on the hillside.
Zhou Dunji came over with a solemn expression. The two brothers held up the heads of Liu Wei and Liu Zhaosun and cried bitterly: "Old General Liu and Little General Liu are back!"
The veterans of the Sichuan Army cried together and vowed to escort them home and avenge them and the soldiers who died in the Sichuan Army.
