“This is the school ground. There are night sentries on the podium. There are two general stations outside the northeast and southeast of the city. There are also sentries, but the sentries are a bit slack..."
“This is a fodder yard. There is a flat land outside the fodder yard, not too far from the moat. Six thousand people from the Shenji Battalion chose to camp here. The situation of their sentry posts is unclear..."
Fan Qing spoke in an orderly manner and quickly finished introducing the situation. There was nothing he could add to Bi Lingtu and others.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Zasai’s face.
Zaisai pondered for a moment and then said: "Mr. Fan, I plan to let them lead people to get rid of the sentry first, and then launch an attack here, but the key is how to seize the city gate. If they can't seize the city gate, the capital camp outside the city will be good."
Solve it, but there are still more than 40,000 people in the city. If they resist stubbornly and the time goes by, the Jizhen Army from Zunhua may come over. How do you think we can solve this city gate problem?"
Fan Qing was also thinking about this issue, and after thinking for a while he said: "The city gate of Santunying Town must be closed at night, and there will also be garrison posts at the head of the city, but the number of sentries will not be too many. I think we can choose
The south city gate serves as a breakthrough."
“South City Gate?!” Bi Lingtu couldn’t help but said in surprise: “Where can there be an Wengcheng!”
"It is precisely because of the Wengcheng that we chose the South Gate." Fan Qing replied firmly: "You can hide troops in the Wengcheng, but the east and west gates are small and open directly to the street. Once troops enter, they will be easily captured.
People are aware that Wengcheng is an important military area and ordinary people cannot enter, and there is no one at night. If we can control Wengcheng, we can quickly organize a large army to enter and hide inside, and then control the east and west gates along the city wall. By then
Then you can catch turtles in an urn."
Zaisai's eyes lit up. This suggestion was very good. There would be no problem hiding hundreds of soldiers in the Wengcheng. Once the soldiers controlled the south gate including the Wengcheng, it would be much easier to control the east and west gates.
“Then outside the city...?” Zasai looked at Fan Qing.
"As long as you control three city gates, you can send a signal to launch an attack on the two places outside the city. In my opinion, Master Zasai, it may be difficult to annihilate all the 80,000 Beijing troops. Surrounding three and one.
, it is better to leave a gap for the soldiers of the Beijing camp outside the west city and annihilate them one by one, and focus on annihilating the forage yard on the east side of the city, and mainly work together to encircle the Beijing camp inside the city."
Fan Qing’s opinion was in line with Zai Sai’s thoughts.
Eighty thousand people in the capital camp, no matter what, this is still 80,000 people.
He currently has no more than 30,000 to 40,000 troops. Zhuolike Tuhongbatulu took 5,000 cavalry to the east to set up an ambush to block the Ji Zhen army that might come from Zunhua, plus a group of soldiers who stayed in Qian'an as suspects.
There are only 30,000 people who can really be put to use.
It would take at least 5,000 troops to attack the military preparation camp in the west of the city, and 3,000 in the forage yard in the east of the city. He only had a little over 20,000 in hand. However, since he was not prepared for the deliberate attack, he was sure of winning the championship, but the key was to win
What will happen to these tens of thousands of people after that?
Even if a ransom is demanded, you can't keep tens of thousands of people in your hands, right? There is no point in having too many. As Bushiyamala said, it is better to focus on the key points and arrest more military officers and officials.
Negotiate better.
But Zaisai is even more curious about the person in front of him. He can say things like "Wei Sanjueyi". I'm afraid this is not something that just a servant from a merchant family can do, right?
However, since it was related to the Jianzhou Jurchens, Zaisai was more afraid.
If there are so many such talents under the command of Jianzhou Jurchen, it is enough to show that Nurhaci’s painstaking efforts are not just a day or two, but five years and ten years. In comparison, the Mongolian tribes and Jianzhou Jurchen
The comparison is no longer on the same level.
But now is not the time to worry about this. We can only talk about other things if we get the sentence in front of us first.
"Bi Ling Rabbit, Zhuang Rabbit, you guys went to see the situation, what do you think?" Fan Qing is just an outsider after all. Whether it can be done depends on those who have done on-site investigation and evaluation to be able to tell clearly.
But Zaisai already had this person in mind.
He always felt that this person might not be that simple. Even if Nurhachi had a lot of talents, he would not use this kind of person as a scout to lead the way.
Bilingu is a person whom Zai Sai can trust, he is meticulous and cautious, Zhuangtu can also be regarded as an outstanding role in the tribes of Neikalkha, and the purpose of sending a few of them to conduct field surveys is to help him make up his mind.
"Zai Sai, I think what Mr. Fan said is OK. Although there is a Wengcheng in Nancheng, which is a little troublesome, the sentries are very slack. We observed carefully under the city wall. There are about four to six people on duty, basically every two lamps.
We just walked around this side of the urn city during tea time, patrolling in pairs, we can bring a few ladders there at night and we should be able to solve it."
Bi Lingtu also observed very carefully, "The situation at the East City Gate and the West City Gate are similar. As long as we control the South City Gate, even if something goes wrong there, I don't think it will be a big problem. As long as our army enters the city, we can catch them by surprise.
They were unable to organize effective resistance at night..."
After thinking for a moment, Zaisai made up his mind, "We only have this one chance, so we have no choice. Bi Lingtu, you and Mang Gu will kill you, bring all my guards, and we must solve it in one sentence."
Open their sentries and open the south city gate. Then Ptachi and Zhuantu, each of you, lead the elites of your tribe and go down the city wall from the south gate. Be careful not to walk on the city wall. Walk along the inside of the city wall to get the things...
…”
"Hongji's troops entered the city from the south gate, and I personally led the team... Seter, you are responsible for dealing with the Zhou army in the barracks in the west of the city. Please note that it is enough to defeat them. There is no need to force all annihilation. If there are any prisoners, try your best to do so.
Mainly to capture officers and generals..."
"Hong Guo'er, you Horqin people are responsible for solving the garrison in the forage yard east of the city..."
At this time, Zaisai issued the order cleanly, without giving anyone a chance to question or object. His sharp eyes were as cold as lightning, which made people feel chilly. It was Setel and Hong Guoer who always liked to mutter.
I don’t dare to say too much, I just have to say what I say.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the entire Inner Khalkha and Horqin coalition forces quickly took action, because they had a few people who were familiar with the situation leading the way, and the people who followed earlier also had a general impression that there was only ten miles to go, and it only needed to
After bypassing Jingzhong Mountain, you can go straight to the wall of Santun Camp.
************
Han Shangyu yawned and came out of the flower hall. He had wanted to leave for a long time, but Liu Guoquan and Qiu Bingzhong refused to let him go and insisted on accompanying him to join in the fun.
He had something on his mind and his troops were in the military camp outside the city, so he finally found an excuse to escape.
When I returned to my barracks, I originally wanted to wait until tomorrow before sending out the scouts, but in the end I felt a little uneasy, so I sent out some of my best scouts and asked them to go to the Taiping Camp in the east in one group and in another group.
Move to An.
However, Han Shangyu was still more thoughtful and asked the group of scouts going to Qian'an to go from the south and go down along the Luan River.
Bao Shan and his men rode out of the camp gate with reluctance, glanced at the entire camp, which was already asleep, secretly screamed something bad, and urged the horses forward listlessly.
Why did you have to deal with such a general and torment people so much? It was already past the time. He was still urged to go to Qian'an overnight, and he was also told to take the southern route and walk along the Luanhe River.

Going south, you have to go around Jingzhong Mountain. Although there is a post road, it is easy to break the horse's hoof. Bao Shan felt unhappy and naturally slowed down his pace.
Following him was Su Er. The boy was gifted with night eyes and had been particularly energetic at night since childhood. This was why Bao Shan loved to take this guy with him.
The dark Jingzhong Mountain looks majestic and towering, but Bao Mountain has been climbed, and it is actually not high and the area is not wide. It can be crossed by walking around the foothills in front. The two chatted and rode forward.
, the torch illuminated the surrounding area several feet away.
Suddenly Bao Shan heard something, like the neighing of a horse. He pricked up his ears to listen and put out the torch.
But there seemed to be no sound again. He was a little confused, but he was confident in his ears. He could sit firmly in the scout team because of his ears.
He gave Su Er a signal, and the two quietly dismounted and took the horse to the edge of the woods on one side.
This is an oak forest, mixed with lime trees. The slope is low and gentle, but you can feel the dense grass and deep forest. Bao Shan signaled Su Er to lead the horse into the forest, while he quietly walked forward with his body hunched over. Soon Su Er followed.
After coming up, the two of them sneaked forward for dozens of steps until they reached the edge of the hillside and entered an undulating lowland, and then they stopped.
It was still dark and there was no sound at all.
Baoshan pricked up his ears again, and these ears did not let him down. Soon he heard the faint sound of horse hooves, but there was no light. This was someone riding a horse at night.
But Baoshan knew that he had walked more than ten miles, and there were no troops stationed in this area at all. In addition to a battalion of soldiers stationed in Taiping Village to the east, Jizhen soldiers were stationed in Kaiping Zhong, which was nearly a hundred miles to the south.
Only then did the garrison have troops.
The Yongping Prefecture issued an order to fortify the walls and clear the country. Let alone no one at night, there was no one in the daytime, not to mention that this was the Jizhen Defense Zone.
A bad feeling enveloped Baoshan's heart.
Soon, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded from about ten steps ahead. Two strong horses passed by. They could not see their figures clearly, but they were so sneaky that they did not even hold up the torch. There was no doubt that this was not a good sign.
“Brother Shan, they seem to be Mongolians.” Su Er’s voice was trembling.
While Su Er was talking, Bao Shan had already heard the sound of horse hooves coming one after another from behind. This time, it was vaguely like the sound of thousands of scattered hooves.
