Although Huang Taiji has issued an order to continue to attack Shanhaiguan and fight to the death with the Dazhong army, but in the tactical arrangement did not choose to continue to attack, with their strength and strength, now Huang Taiji is very clear that in front of the geographical advantage of the Dazhong army in Shanhaiguan, he is simply seeking his own death by leading the army to crash into it, and now the elite soldiers of the Dazhong army in the Shanhaiguan area are gathered, if he orders to send troops to attack the city, forcing those soldiers of the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners to attack the city, It is estimated that some Han troops or Mongolian soldiers under their command can be forced to mutiny at that time.

Therefore, although he made up his mind not to evacuate Shanhaiguan for the time being, he did not send troops to attack Shanhaiguan again stupidly, but after looking at the terrain outside Shanhaiguan, he ordered the Qing army camp to retreat a few miles again, and the front guard with his back to the northeast of Shanhaiguan stopped.

Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin and others originally predicted, thinking that at this time, Huang Taiji on the Jiannu side must have learned the news of the fall of Abatai, coupled with the fact that Dolgon was repeatedly frustrated under the Shanhai Pass some time ago, and the defeated soldiers were defeated, with the current strength comparison between the two of them, in fact, the Jiannu side no longer occupies any advantage, so both Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin guessed that at this time, Jiannu is likely to give up this plan to go south and will choose to withdraw the troops.

But after Xiao Tianjian arrived at Shanhaiguan, at the end of the day, he did not see that Jiannu had the intention of withdrawing troops, although on June 29, Jiannu had a movement, and began to pull out the camp outside the pass, Xiao Tianjian and the generals thought that Jiannu might be withdrawing troops, Wang Chengping even asked for an order to go to war, taking advantage of the time of Jiannu's withdrawal, out of the pass to cover up and kill the Jiannu army.

Xiao Tianjian was basically about to agree to Wang Chengping's battle, but at this time, news came from the scouts, saying that Jiannu did not really withdraw his troops, but gradually retreated his troops and horses for a few miles and then stopped again and began to set up a new camp.

So Xiao Tianjian couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Huang Taiji's gourd, so he once again personally climbed to the highest place of the Shanhaiguan City Tower and looked into the distance with a telescope.

Li Xin, the chief of the general staff, naturally followed Xiao Tianjian to observe the enemy situation, and the two held the binoculars and looked at them for a while, and almost at the same time put down the binoculars, looked at each other, and immediately saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty, the slave chief wants us to take the initiative to fight!" Li Xin took the initiative to speak after reading it.

Xiao Tianjian showed a hint of a smile, and then his expression was a little strange, and after holding it for a while, he suddenly burst out laughing!

"Haha...... This Huang Taiji is really a wonderful person! Ha ha! He knew that if he continued to attack Shanhaiguan, he would definitely be in our hands! So they simply gave up the initiative to attack the city, and now they take the initiative to retreat a distance to make room for us to fight, and want to give full play to their advantages in the field of Jiannu! Beat us up outside Shanhaiguan!

I really admire this Huang Taiji a little bit now! He was able to win the Jiannu Khan position, and it was really not luck! This guy is powerful enough!

This fang knew very well that if he ordered the withdrawal of troops and returned to Liaodong in such a gloomy manner, then they would no longer have the courage to go south and knock on the pass from now on! With Jiannu's population, if he wants to continue to control the millions of alien races outside the Guan, he must have more than enough heart and not enough strength, so he doesn't dare to withdraw like this.

So he now took the initiative to retreat a distance, looking at Shanhaiguan from a distance, to make room for us, so that we can go out of the customs to fight, if we dare not go out of the customs to fight, then they can regain morale and restore their psychological superiority! Then show off his might, and then slowly retreat, and he can evacuate this place and return to Liaodong unscathed! In that case, the Mongols and Han people under its control will still be able to serve them as the master! Look at their faces!

But if we go out to fight, they will no longer be subject to our geographical advantage, and they will be able to fight us in a field way, and give full play to their strengths in the field of slave building, and if they can defeat us, they will be able to take revenge!

It seems that I underestimated this fang before! It's a great move! Wonderful! ”

Lu Xiangsheng, Luo Li, Liu Yaoben, Wu Xiang and others who followed Xiao Tianjian also suddenly realized after hearing this, and nodded again and again after following Xiao Tianjian's words, and they all despised Huang Taiji, but they had to admit that Huang Taiji's move was a wonderful move, and it was also the best choice they could make now.

In response to Huang Taiji's move, in fact, their large Chinese army does not necessarily have to go out of the customs and fight to the death with them, with the current situation of Jiannu, even if they don't go out of the customs to fight with them, just such a confrontation, drag can also completely drag the Jiannu army apart, how thick is the old bottom of Jiannu, in fact, everyone also understands that with the grain output and population outside the customs, if you want to maintain so many of their men and horses, it is impossible to stay outside Shanhaiguan for a long time. Basically, they rely on plundering along the way to meet their consumption, but this time Jiannu went south, it can be said that the fart is not fished, and the net is eating the old book, in addition to winning the Ming army, they are hitting the head and bleeding against the Dazhong army, so not only did they not harvest, but also suffered heavy losses, so if they dragged it out, I am afraid that they would not even need a month, and they would be able to drag the Jiannu army back home to wash and sleep!

But the question is, can it be delayed? Xiao Tianjian and the generals have their own answers in their hearts, Jiannu can't afford to delay, but they can't afford to drag the big Chinese army, this time the big middle army in the north can be said to have mobilized all the forces in the entire control area to ensure their needs for these soldiers and horses, and now the pass has not yet been pacified, the Ming Jingshi they have not yet captured, there is still Li Zicheng's Dashun regime in the west, and Fujian, Liangguang, Yunnan-Guizhou and other provinces in the south have not yet been captured, whether it is the south or the west, the current strength of the Dazhong army is relatively empty, and the pressure is quite great, If they are here to fight against Jiannu, it is not false to drag down Jiannu, I'm afraid that even they will be dragged down!

Therefore, Jiannu can't afford to drag it, and the Dazhong Army can't afford to drag it either, and Huang Taiji's guy also sees this weakness of the Dazhong Army, so although it is clear that they are no longer able to attack Shanhaiguan, they still rely on the pass and do not leave, that is, to force the Dazhong Army to give up the geographical advantage and have a showdown with them outside the Guan! In this case, Xiao Tianjian has no other choice but to go out of the customs and have a duel with the Jiannu army to decide the outcome of this battle.

Xiao Tianjian shook his head, turned his head and strode down the city tower, and said with a smile as he walked: "He has his thousand plans, but when he meets us, it will be in vain, since he wants such a battle, then what does it matter if I give him a fight!" I want to see if he is more powerful than his 100,000 slaves, or if my 50,000 tigers are more powerful! Let's go! Go down and prepare, let's go out and fight! ”

As the Jiannu army retreated a few miles outside the pass, the Shanhaiguan immediately became jubilant, and the soldiers of the large and medium army began to assemble in each gate, and all of them put on their helmets and armor robes and belts, and packed up their whole bodies, and gathered in a black pressure.

And Xiao Tianjian personally led five hundred forest guards, directly lined up in Shanhaiguan, and with Xiao Tianjian's order, a series of horns and cannons immediately sounded above the city.

With the sound of the cannon, the gates in the Shanhaiguan area rumbled open from the inside in an instant, and then tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Great Chinese Army immediately let out a loud roar that shook the sky, and one by one began to pour out the gates like tigers coming out of the gates.

And Xiao Tianjian took the lead in urging the BMW to sit down, and rushed out of the gate of Shanhaiguan with shaking the reins, and came to the outside of Shanhaiguan, which was not too wide.

A large army generals, under the command of their respective officers, rushed out of the city like a flood, and then quickly began to assemble in the open space outside the pass, the first to rush out of the city is the cavalry of each army, these cavalry rushed out of the city, quickly formed a barrier on the periphery of the city, pulled a cordon to cover the follow-up soldiers and horses out of the pass, in case Jiannu took advantage of the large number of the army out of the pass, sent their Aliha Chaoha battalion to attack and disturb the action of the big Chinese army.

And then out of the pass is the other arms of the army, first the infantry followed the cavalry out of the formation, outside the pass to stabilize the position, and then out of the pass is an artillery team, these artillery are driving the mules and horses dragging the artillery carts, the fish through the pass, quickly found their position between the infantry and military formations, and soon took off the mules and horses to lead the formation, the artillery vehicles separated, the artillery deployed, and the ammunition carts were quickly placed in a safe position behind the cannons.

In addition to the cavalry, infantry, artillery, three arms, this time with the army to fight there are also sappers and soldiers, but the soldiers are not transporting grain and materials this time, all the soldiers out of the city are made of wood chariots, the usual march is to transport materials for use, wartime columns constitute a solid temporary city wall, as a field war, they are also an indispensable and important arms, so they were taken out of the city, not a strange thing.

As for the engineers, needless to say, they have their own special purpose, when they are deployed, they can assist the main force to temporarily and urgently build a defensive line, charge with the army when attacking, and be responsible for clearing obstacles on the way.

After Xiao Tianjian left the city, the staff officers of the General Staff Department followed him closely, and in addition to the Dazhong Dynasty Weaving Golden Dragon Daxu as the symbol of his emperor, there were also various other flags.

With the fluttering of the order flag in the hands of the heralds, one after another instructions were quickly conveyed, this kind of arrangement, Xiao Tianjian now no longer has to do it himself, his own staff officers are responsible for arranging according to the plan, and each of them spends soldiers and horses, only their heralds need to keep an eye on the Chinese military order flag at any time, and after accepting the order, they can move the troops and horses with the order.

Therefore, although tens of thousands of Chinese troops poured out from the various gates, but under the orders of the Chinese officers, these soldiers will not appear at all in the chaos that other armies are prone to under normal circumstances, and all the troops and horses quickly arrived at their positions according to the orders and began to line up, and the entire tens of thousands of soldiers and horses entered their designated positions and completed the assembly under the command of the Chinese officers.

Although he and the old generals of the Ming army under his command also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to behave in front of their new masters, but their invitation to fight was still rejected by Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian told Wu Xiang that although there was a merit to be gained, but Guancheng must also be garrisoned in case of emergency, so let these officers and soldiers under Wu Xiang's command stay in the pass to garrison, and only use the old department of the Great Chinese Army to go out to fight Jiannu.

Therefore, Wu Xiang could only helplessly lead his troops to stay on the front line of Shanhaiguan, as a rear responder, responsible for garrisoning Shanhaiguan, and could only take his subordinates and generals on the wall, watching Xiao Tianjian lead the troops to battle.
