With these 12,000 cavalry, it is simply unrealistic to complete the encirclement and annihilate the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, which is almost the same.

Therefore, Huang Han agreed with Sun Chuanting's tactical concept of using infantry as the main force to fight the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, and ordered the General Zan Painting Department to brainstorm and come up with a specific implementation plan.

This is not a fool's dream, but a target, because if Sun Chuanting, one of the chief praise paintings in the praise painting department, had not encountered Huang Han's interception, he would have completed such a bold idea last year.

In history, he led a group of rotten soldiers with infantry as the main force, and at the appropriate time, he took advantage of the favorable terrain to kill seven or eight thousand cavalry of the old battalion that Gao Yingxiang had painstakingly accumulated for seven or eight years, which made the Liukou collapse for a period of time.

Sun Chuanting was full of vigor during this time, seeing that most of North Korea was taken down, and every household of the common people who emigrated from Shanxi and Henan was able to own 50 acres of dry land or 25 acres of rice fields to cultivate.

He used to often conduct research in the mainland of Daming and knew the importance of people's livelihood.

The newly seized Korean territory was all acreage, and more than half of the population was lost due to the massacre of the Goryeo people by the Qing army.

There are too many acres of land that have been abandoned because no one has cultivated them, but they have not been for a long time, but they have only been abandoned for three or four years.

After resting for two or three years, the land is sufficiently replenished, and once it is re-cultivated, it is not a problem to have a good harvest that year.

It can be seen that if one million people are resettled this year, it not only means that these million people will be able to eat enough, but also produce enough food to feed another 500,000 people.

Taking the entire territory of Korea completely solved the contradiction of the "Red Banner Army" system in Chongzhen for nine years, which had many people and few lands, making the system a vast area and sparsely populated, and it would be much easier to solve the problem of the displaced people in Shanxi in the future.

Now that the "Red Banner Army" Marine Corps, mountain infantry, and military dog search teams are far more powerful than the Ming Army in the interior, they have been handed over to Sun Chuanting's command, and with a unit with perfect discipline, Sun Chuanting is of course like a tiger with wings.

In order to enhance Sun Chuanting's self-confidence in completing the idea, Huang Han specially convened a high-level military meeting at the general level, and the generals and assistants who participated in the battalion were present except for the officers on duty.

Huang Han presided over the meeting, and after briefly introducing Sun Chuanting's tactical concept, he led everyone to watch an actual combat exercise.

Sun Chuanting, Jin Sheng, Gao Youmou, Zheng Xiaowen, Liang Tingdong, Zhang Fengyi and other civil officials saw how a chief engineer and a general musketeer plus a hundred general artillery moved quickly to intercept a thousand general cavalry.

It was Sun Yuanhua who commanded the interception, and it was Liu Fenyong, a battalion officer with more than ten years of cavalry experience, who led a thousand general cavalry to imitate the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry to try to break through the defense line of the "Red Banner Army".

The civil and military generals watched more than a thousand cavalry try to pass through an open field, and it only took ten minutes for the sappers in charge of intercepting it to form a barricade.

The barricade is simple and effective, using horses and a prefabricated wooden stake with a gun tip to drive into the ground and pull open the barbed wire, so that unless such an obstacle encounters a tank, the infantry and cavalry will be entangled.

With improvised fortifications to stop the cavalry from galloping, the musketeers did not have to worry about being killed by the cavalry, and calmly aimed their guns at the back of the barbed wire, and the sappers continued to dig trenches to reinforce the fortification group.

The civilian and military generals who watched the exercise then saw dozens of war horses rushing into the barbed wire array and being entangled and blocked by the horses, letting out a "slippery" scream.

The knight's clothes and armor were also caught in barbed wire, and then they were hit by a special bullet covered in white ash and declared incapacitated.

Sun Chuanting scratched his ears and cheeks when he saw it, and he was overjoyed, and he had already perfected in his heart the drawbacks of using the mountains and rivers in Korea to be unfavorable to cavalry attacks, and completed the tactical concept of using infantry to trap and destroy the 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry in Korea.

The wheelbarrow formation of the "Red Banner Army" was originally characteristic and could quickly block open areas.

Now the sappers have practiced using deer, horses, and barbed wire to obstruct the passage of the enemy, so as to win time for the labor of the accompanying army to dig trenches and completely trap the enemy cavalry.

After practicing the tactics of quickly forming an interception position in the wilderness, Sun Chuanting was more confident that he could trap the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry and fight to capture the Yu prince Duoduo alive.

Sun Chuanting, who is pragmatic, can't be satisfied with just looking at the drawings and sand table arrangements provided by Shen Ming, Yu Fei and others.

In the following days, he and Song Pengfei followed Mao Chenglu back and forth on the Yalu River many times, and repeatedly infiltrated the mountains fifty miles away from the river with the sailors and marines personally led by Shen Ming to observe the terrain.

They also often took inland river flat-bottomed boats with a displacement of thirty or forty tons to go up the river, check the terrain on both sides of the river, and use the elimination method to estimate the route that the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry might take when they were defeated and fled.

Mao Chenglu carefully selected dozens of former Dongjiang Town fierce soldiers to serve as guides and part-time security guards for generals such as Song Pengfei and Sun Chuanting.

These dozens of them are already non-commissioned officers of the "Red Banner Army" who have fought guerrilla warfare in the Yalu River valley for more than 10 years, and half of them are miners from Liaodong, so they are quite familiar with the mountains and rivers in this area.

The generals involved in observing the terrain and making plans were racking their brains, eager to catch Duoduo, and a month later, a meeting to refine the plan was held at the request of Sun Chuanting.

At the meeting, the civilian, official, and military generals expressed their opinions and added many good ways to prevent the enemy's cavalry from escaping.

For example, control the upstream of a river to build a dam to store water, and once the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry try to wade across the river, the flood will be discharged.

Anyway, this is an attack on the enemy country, and the Ming army doesn't mind making many areas become Ze countries after the flood.

It is also a good idea to use mountain interception, and the damage caused by artificially created landslides caused by a large number of rolling logs and boulders on the path that the enemy must pass is also remarkable.

All in all, the terrain in Korea was not conducive to cavalry raids, and there were too many mountains and rivers to exploit.

When the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry approached Liaodong after all the hardships, there was still a pass on the Yalu River, which was blocked by small warships and gunboats.

I don't know how hard Duoduo's life is, can he escape the layers of interception and return to Shenyang?

It is only April, and the plan to attack Pyongyang is scheduled for the first day of August, and the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" and the guards have enough time to conduct exercises.

Sun Chuanting, who was in charge of planning, also had enough time to preset the battlefield.

After all, North Korea is not Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting needs time to familiarize himself with the mountains and rivers near the battlefield, and there must be a plan for the first and second plans to make up for accidents in the event of an accident.

He was very busy during this time, not only often taking a fast boat to take dozens of people into the dense forests and hills of the upper reaches of the Yalu River, but also found more than a dozen nearby mountain people as guides to inquire and record the hydrological situation.

Hwang Han treated the enemy very viciously, and the plan for a general attack on Pyongyang was launched on August 1, when the wheat could be harvested a few days after it was ripe.

A large-scale offensive on the eve of the autumn harvest meant that the Manchu soldiers and civilians had worked for half a year, and the harvest was about to arrive but it was in vain.
