"I invite you to fight!"
"I invite you to fight!"
…
The five of them clasped their fists and saluted Chongzhen without hesitation, and their voices were firm.
"Why don't you ask, where are we going to fight this time?"
"No matter where we fight, I will not be afraid!"
Listening to Sun Chuanting's words, Chongzhen had a smile on his lips: "I am preparing to personally conquer Chahar Lindan Khan!"
"What?"
"This this……"
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely forbidden to do this in person..."
…
At this time, the five people were so frightened that they did not want to fight, and the united front began to persuade Chongzhen.
"I have already discussed this matter with the six cabinet ministries, and they all have no objections!"
Chongzhen blocked the five people's advice with one sentence and continued: "I am going to lead three of Tengxiang's four guards, and the imperial army will lead the fourth guard. You can discuss it!"
Except for Sun Chuanting, the four members of Tengxiang's four guards looked at each other and suddenly spoke out.
"Commander Cao, you have already participated in the battles of Xifengkou and Longjing Pass. Give this opportunity to us, Wu Xiang Youwei!"
"Commander Zhou, you have already patrolled the northwest with His Majesty. You have also drilled the three border towns of Yulin, Taiyuan, and Datong. You can be considered defeated. This time, leave it to our Wuxiang left guard!"
"Commander Cao, 50% of your casualties were 50% last time. Now some of them are new soldiers and still need training. You can stay in Beijing!"
"Commander Cao, Commander Cao will definitely protect His Majesty in this battle. You uncle and nephew must give us a chance!"
…
Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, and Sun Yingyuan instantly formed a temporary united front to 'attack' Cao Wenzhao.
After arguing for a quarter of an hour, Cao Wenzhao retreated, and the three of them smiled happily.
"Now that there is a result, let me talk about the tactics of this battle. Datong Xuanfu formed tens of thousands of elites and set out from Datong to attack the north of Chahar.
I personally lead a 100,000-strong army of the three Tengxiang guards and the four Forbidden Army guards, carrying a large number of firearms, and 10,000 Guanning cavalry as the left and right wings of the army. "
"Your Majesty wants to transfer Guan Ning's cavalry? What about Ning Yuan?"
Listening to Sun Chuanting's doubts, Chongzhen waved his hand: "I and the cabinet have made their own decisions on this matter. You don't need to interfere. Focus on conquering Chahar."
After saying that, he took it to the dragon case, drew a horizontal line on the rice paper with a pen, and then wrote Chahar on one side and Ming Dynasty on the other side.
Then on the side of Ming Dynasty were drawn small circles, middle squares, small squares, arrows...
The five people watching looked confused.
After a while, Chongzhen put down his pen and pointed at the rice paper: "On the left and right are the Guan Ning cavalry, equipped with more than a hundred tiger squatting guns and Fo Lang machine guns. They not only protect the left and right wings of the army, but also force the Chahar army to attack from the middle. us,
The small circle is a fifty-pound flintlock mine. If we follow a two-mile-wide cavalry attack line, we need to arrange about fifteen mines. Two layers will equal thirty mines.
After the super-large single mines, a layer of minefield is laid out. After the cavalry triggers the minefield, the super-large single mines are artificially detonated.
Then, taking advantage of the chaos, the Chinese army fired a volley of crouching tiger artillery and general artillery. They circled around on both sides to cover the crouching tiger artillery and general artillery 200 meters forward for bombardment. The musketry soldiers fired a volley, and then the Chinese army rushed out. ! "
hiss……
The five people took a breath. If this idea could be realized, 20,000 cavalry could be killed in one go.
With such casualties, Chahar's army must have fled.
Even if they gather together again, they no longer have the determination to fight. Being able to exert 50% of their 100% combat power is unparalleled.
"There are two questions now. One is whether Chahar's army will attack us from the center according to the planned route!
The second is how to lay mines secretly without being discovered by Chahar's scouts! "
"Your Majesty, the first question is, I don't think you need to worry about this!"
Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment and continued: "When the time comes, we just need to send troops to persuade him to surrender. If he doesn't comply, then scold them and anger them.
Then His Majesty will hang out the dragon flag again. With Chahar Lindan Khan's violent temper, there is a 80% chance that it will happen. "
The rest of the people nodded in agreement.
Lin Dan Khan, a descendant of the golden family, has made some extremely coquettish moves since he succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen.
First, the Yellow Sect, which had been spread in Mongolia for decades, was changed into the Red Sect, causing various factions to become alienated.
Before Mongolia was unified, he despised the slaves and called Nurhaci the master of thirty thousand Jurchens on the waterside. The meaning of the words was arrogant, and Nurhaci killed Lin Dan Khan's envoy Kangkar Baihu in a fit of anger.
Then from the first year of Apocalypse to the sixth year of Apocalypse, Na went crazy in the grassland, plundered various tribes to strengthen himself, and various tribes complained, and they left Chahar one after another to seek refuge as slaves.
Then Huang Taiji led his army from Chahar to Guihua City, simply committing suicide.
With his mentality of those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish, if he really needs to be stimulated a few times, he really might not care about the impact.
"The second mine-laying problem can be easily solved. The former army will find a tribe to fight to attract the enemy's attention and gain half an hour. The mine camp will wait for the opportunity to lay mines and send more scouts around..."
"Okay, just do this!"
After hearing Sun Chuanting's method, Chongzhen immediately made a decision: "The speed at which the mine camp lays mines determines the direction of this battle. You must focus on it.
Secondly, the five of you need to deduce the entire battle situation, prepare response plans for some possible situations, secretly organize the army, and be ready to go at any time! "
"Sun Aiqing, transfer another 200 sergeants from the Yulei Camp, carry 2,000 palm thunders, 50 sky-shaking thunders, and transport them to Yulin together with the flint mines, and arrange for a Qianhu to personally escort them!"
"I obey the order!"
The five people saluted and left full of fighting spirit.
In Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen looked at the layout on the rice paper and thought about the possibilities.
If everything goes as expected, a frontal charge against Chahar will leave tens of thousands of people behind and then rout westward.
As long as Hong Chengchou could grasp Chahar's southern crossing route, lay mines and charge again, Chahar would be completely disabled.
There is another question, and that is whether the remnants of Tumut in the north of Guihua City will take advantage of the troubled waters, which must be guarded against.
According to the past, in this kind of war, food, grass and military supplies are the biggest headache.
But this year is different, because returning land to the people, rectifying military affairs and taxation only require food, and now the border towns have a lot of food and grass stored, so now it is the easiest.
Food, fodder and military needs are solved, and everything else is not a problem.
In the past, medical alcohol and physiological saline were used to reduce the risk of infection and suppuration, and now flint mines have also been successful.
Killing and injuring the enemy, retaining his own combat power, and conquering Chahar, he already has an 80% chance of winning.
The remaining 20% depends on God's grace. This time, firearms are the main focus. If it rains, the fun will be great.
Now everything is ready, except for the firearms from the Firearms Research Institute.
"This time, I will completely cripple Chahar!"
After talking to himself, Chongzhen began to review the memorials and looked at the plans for the new year submitted by various ministries. His life was leisurely.
After three or four days of this, Wang Chengen reported: "Your Majesty, Mao Yuanyi, the vice president of the Jiangwu Hall, and Zhang Fengyi, the supervisor of the prison, want to see you!"
