In early March of the 14th year of the Tianqi revelation, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty issued an order to incite Huang Taiji on the grounds that the tribute offered by Jiannu was insufficient.

In mid-March, three soldiers from Tiema Fort on the Liaodong border were killed, leaving behind a Tartar body. This book was just a trivial matter, but who knew it directly became the fuse for the Ming Dynasty to attack Jiannu.

After learning about this incident, Lu Xiangsheng, who had returned to Liaodong, immediately sent someone to question Jiannu, but Jiannu sent a powerful Eight Banners brigade from Gushan to launch an attack on the Iron Horse Fort at the front of Guangning City, the Ming Dynasty.

However, at this time, the Imperial Guards' armies had already gathered in the area of ​​Guangning City. When the Eight Banners Brigade of Gushan appeared, Jiao Lian, the deputy general of the Cavalry Brigade of the Second Army of the Imperial Guards, was ordered by Lu Xiangsheng and immediately rushed to Tiema Fort and directly thrust the Eight Banners' armies from the front.

At this time, Jiannu still adopted the military and civilian system of both soldiers and civilians during the Nurhaci period, that is, three hundred dings are used as one Niulu, five Niulu are used as one Jiala, and five Jiala is used as one Gushan.

Now it is just an attack on a small iron horse fort at the forefront of Guangning City. Jiannu directly dispatched an elite Eight Banners from Gushan. He has to admit that this specification is a bit high. In the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that Jiannu is determined to win Guangning City.

Most of the Liaodong officers and soldiers stationed in the defense line in Guangning City could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Many of them were border soldiers who followed Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and others who had been guarding Liaodong for many years, but they had never seen Jiannu send so many armored soldiers at once.

Many people began to worry about the Third Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial Guards. Even Man Gui proposed whether to transfer his cavalry to come and fight this powerful Eight Banners brigade together.

But Lu Xiangsheng did not agree to Man Gui's proposal. As the commander-in-chief, Lu Xiangsheng was not worried about whether the general Jiao Lian, the third brigade, could defeat the Eight Banners Power Brigade with more than 7,000 armored soldiers, plus nearly 20,000 auxiliary soldiers.

He is now struggling with what the Jiannu Huang Taiji is going to do. He actually sent his powerful troops directly to attack a small Iron Horse Fort. What is his purpose?

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't understand it for the time being. Just as he discussed with the Emperor's Majesty Zhu Youxiao and the Left Minister of War Yang Sichang, they thought Huang Taiji would fight a mobile war with the Ming Dynasty in Shengjing City or Hetuara City.

But unexpectedly, Huang Taiji would take the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty and directly dispatched the Eight Banners Power Brigade from Gushan.

"Why did Huang Taiji suddenly abandon Shengjing and Hetuala and suddenly attack the Iron Horse Fort in Guangning City without regard? Guangning City is very important to Jiannu? If Guangning City is lost, Jiannu can go straight into the south of the Mo, or go south to the Daling River area to enter Shanhaiguan. However, the Shanhaiguan area is the place where our Ming Dynasty is heavily guarded. If Huang Taiji wants to take the initiative to attack, he can only go to Mosan. However, when Mosan does not have to occupy Guangning City, especially for the cavalry, they can go to Dushikou."

When Lu Xiangsheng thought of this, he suddenly realized some bad result in his mind and slapped the table: "Not good!"

The senior generals of the Imperial Guard who were frightened beside him were stunned and thought to himself that General Lu was still calm and moderate at first, but why did he suddenly frown and act so fiercely?

Lu Xiangsheng had no time to give a specific explanation to Chang Yanling and Oboi, so he turned around and said directly to them:

"The main force of the Eight Banners of Jiannu is likely to be ready to attack our Monan at Dushikou. Obai, you can quickly lead the cavalry to immediately go to Yaoziling to block the main force of Jiannu from Dushikou. At the same time, the Pegasus chases to Dandong and stop Chang Yanling's First Army and Lu Xiangyu's Fourth Army. The place of the decisive battle is not Hetuala but Xilingol Mansion in Monan!"

Lu Xiangsheng had to admit that His Majesty was right. This Jiannu Huang Taiji was indeed not a simple person, but a very cunning person.

Even he couldn't help but sigh now. No wonder Huang Taiji was able to escape unscathed when he wiped out the Korchin tribe, the Khalkha tribe and the Wu family's father and son in the Ming Dynasty. Now he almost deceived himself.

If I hadn't been too careful and deliberately speculated on his intention when I learned that he had sent a Gushan troops to attack his Tiema Fort, and realized that his purpose might be to stage a trick to openly repair a plank road and secretly travel to Chen Cang, I wouldn't have thought that Huang Taiji would decisively give up fighting with Shengjing City and Hetu'ala City as important defense points and jumped out directly, and actually wanted to fight within his Ming Dynasty, and even wanted to sneak attack inside the pass.

Fortunately, it is still time for me to have time. On my side, the Second Army and the Third Army of the Imperial Guard have not yet entered the hinterland of Jiannu, so I can react quickly and rush to the south of the Mori to carry out a blocking attack. As long as the main force of Jiannu's Eight Banners is blocked in the south of the Mori, there is no need to worry that these Eight Banners will raid other border towns in the Ming Dynasty and may even sneak into the pass and cause greater damage.

But now, the only thing that made Lu Xiangsheng feel a little regretful is that the First Army and Fourth Army of the Imperial Guards have been transported to North Korea, but they are afraid that they are about to march towards Hetuala. At that time, if they really capture Hetuala City, they will probably be nothing. The Hetuala City obtained is just an empty city and cannot effectively annihilate Jiannu's living power.

Now, all Lu Xiangsheng can do is to take advantage of the fast and flexible advantages of the Second Imperial Guard Cavalry Army to quickly rush to Yaoziling to intercept the Jiannu Eight Banners Brigade who might come from Dushikou.

At the same time, the Third Army of the Artillery Imperial Guards immediately rushed to Yaoziling. When the Second Army intercepted the enemy, it used the artillery advantages of the artillery to further restrain the main force of Jiannu.

However, even so, with the flexibility of the eight banners of Jiannu, it is unlikely that these two imperial guards would annihilate Jiannu here. After all, they do not have an advantage in terms of number of people and cannot fight a large siege and annihilation war.

Lu Xiangsheng could only hope that his fast horse could contact the First Army and Fourth Army of the Imperial Guards as soon as possible, and hoped that they could return to Yaoziling and Dushikou areas in the south of the Monan as quickly as possible.

In Lu Xiangsheng's view, there is no problem with the Second Army and the Third Army of the Imperial Guard to restrain the main force of Jiannu.

As long as the First Army and Fourth Army of the Imperial Guards retreated before Huang Taiji gave up breaking through the defense lines of the Second Army and the Third Army, he realized that he was likely to be surrounded, he could directly annihilate the Jiannu main force in Yaoziling. It would be easy to recover Shengjing City and Hetuala and other places.

Lu Xiangsheng is worthy of being an outstanding commander. He can quickly make tactical changes based on the battlefield reaction and quickly create a new way of annihilation of the enemy. Of course, he has decisively abandoned the strategy of fighting Shengjing and actually fighting Hetuara, which he discussed with His Majesty Zhu Youzhao, because Huang Taiji has no choice but to play like this. If he does it rigidly according to the will, this easy-to-fight battle will only become difficult to fight, not to mention that he will be unwilling to accept the orders of the king outside.
