The next morning, the barge fleet of the Liaohe Detachment, carrying the two garrison brigades of the Eastern Detachment, arrived on the north bank of the Hunhe River in the south of Shenyang, and Gao Jianguo also arrived in person. When Li Ming learned of Gao Jianguo's arrival, he greeted him with the commanders of the various detachments in the Eastern Theater. Gao Jianguo looked like a dusty man, and his eyes were bloodshot.

When Gao Jianguo saw Li Ming, he grabbed his hand and laughed: "Our Eastern Theater has finally caught up with this battle, haha...... Where have the Tartar reinforcements arrived? ”

"According to the latest intelligence sent back by the airboat detachment, more than 20,000 Tartar horses in the direction of Guangning had crossed the Liao River yesterday, and it is estimated that they will be able to pass Jingyuan Fort before dark, and cross the Puhe River there and go straight to the city of Shenyang. Our plan was to put this group of Tartar horses under the city of Shenyang after the Tartars crossed the river, and let them enter an ambush position to annihilate them.

Yesterday, the Liaohe detachment and the Yalujiang detachment cooperated with each other to annihilate a group of Tartars who had gathered troops at Fengjibao in the southern direction of Liaoning. About 8,000 Tartars from the direction of Fushun are rushing to Shenyang along the official road, and it is expected that they will arrive in Shenyang at midnight tonight, and we plan to set up an ambush on the official road tonight to annihilate them.

In the direction of Tieling in the north, as well as in the southwest of Shenyang: the Tartars who rushed to the new castle and Shaling pier this morning. They are gathering the Tartar soldiers and horses along the way, and the speed of the march is not fast, and it is estimated that they will not be able to reach the city of Shenyang until tomorrow morning at the earliest. There are also some stragglers who are also rushing to Shenyang. The troops have basically been deployed, and the ambush sites are on both sides of the official road into Shenyang, which is the only place for the Tartars to enter Shenyang. ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said, "You are the commander-in-chief of the Western Theater." This time, all the troops in our Eastern Theater are under your command. The two garrison brigades, including me, you give orders, and we resolutely carry them out. ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "Then let the first garrison brigade go to the north and assist the troops there to annihilate the Tartars who came from the Tieling and Kaiyuan areas." The 2nd Garrison Brigade went to the west of Shenyang to assist in the annihilation of the Tartars gathered at Shaling Pier. ”

The weather is getting worse. The sky was cloudy, and the wind began to blow. The Air Force Department's airship detachment has all returned to Lianhua Island in Gaizhou to land for shelter. Li Ming had no choice but to send several special operations teams to reconnoiter the movements of several Tartar reinforcements in jeeps.

But what he and Gao Jianguo didn't expect was that with the change of weather, several reinforcements from Tartar accelerated their march as if they had been beaten with blood. While Li Ming was secretly frightened, he also issued an order for all the ambush troops to be ready for battle. But what made them even more unbelievable was that several Tartars stopped twenty or thirty miles away from Shenyang, and then each set up camp and stood still.

Li Ming, Gao Jianguo and others were baffled by this move of Tartar. Li Ming had no choice but to let the ambush troops disprepare for war. Several reconnaissance detachments were ordered to keep an eye on the movements of the Tartars at all times.

At the Western Theater Command, a bunch of big smokers filled the war room with smoke. Everyone is analyzing the strange behavior of several Tartar reinforcements today. The pace of these Tartars is too consistent. They didn't have radio communications, and although the Tartars from all directions sent out rangers, the distance between them was not close, and even if they were connected, they couldn't cooperate so tacitly.

I studied it for a long time, but I didn't figure out what was going on. Wang Yaowu said worriedly: "Did the tartars smell something, so they stopped." ”

Shi Mingfeng shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible." We didn't have many ambush troops, and they were very well hidden. And they all went back and forth a few times the other day. I didn't see them stop. ”

Song Tao thought for a while and said, "Don't guess, just attack directly with the troops." ”

Li Ming waved his hand and said: "Our troops seem to be quite a lot, but we have to blockade Shenyang City to prevent the Tartars in the city from breaking through, and we also have to deal with the reinforcements of the Tartars from all directions, so our troops are thin." The locations where the Tartars camped were in the wilderness. Moreover, the surrounding environment is all plains, and we do not have enough strength to encircle and annihilate the four Tartars at the same time.

Once we rush forward, the Tartars are bound to scatter in a hurry, and it is very likely that it will be a crushing battle. The purpose of our siege of Shenyang is to attract the main forces of the Tartars to Shenyang and annihilate them completely. If you want to defeat these tartars. Why play such a big game of chess. My opinion is that wait, I don't think it's possible for them to find out about our arrangement. ”

Gao Jianguo said in a deep voice: "The current situation can only allow the reconnaissance detachment to pay close attention to the movements of the Tartars. If you want to annihilate the Tartars, they still have to crash into it themselves. My advice is to be patient and patient. Even if they run away, and we send vehicles to catch up, it will be a crushing battle. ”

After listening to Li Ming and Gao Jianguo's words, everyone chose to acquiesce. Now the best thing to do is to wait, if tens of thousands of Tartars are scattered, then you don't want to annihilate them all, it would be good to be able to wipe out half of them.

In fact, there is a reason why Tartar is so weird. Now whether it is the Tartars in Shenyang or the several Tartar reinforcements outside the city, they are all looking forward to a heavy rain.

Firearms of this era could not be used on rainy days. And what the Tartars were most afraid of was firearms in the Far East, so several reinforcements outside Shenyang saw that the weather was turning cloudy and a heavy rain was coming. Several soldiers and horses all chose to speed up the march and set up camp near Shenyang. Seeing the change in the weather, Yanguli crossed the Pu River overnight with a team of more than 20,000 horses in the direction of Quang Ninh, and only waited for the rain to start before launching an attack on the Far Eastern army under the city.

Huang Taiji of Shenyang also summoned all the banner lord Baylor and the generals of various departments overnight, preparing to take advantage of this golden opportunity to concentrate the elite horse team and carry out a surprise attack on the Far Eastern Army outside the city when the heavy rain came.

After a night of gestation, the weather finally changed, and after a strong wind swept the dark clouds, and after a burst of lightning and thunder, the rain also fell. Although it was not a torrential rain, the drizzling rain was sprinkled continuously.

There was jubilation in the city of Shenyang, and all the tartars who had been unable to bear it were nervously prepared. The camp of the Tartars outside the city was also very noisy, and all the Tartars were very excited.

In their opinion, no matter how powerful the firearms in the Far East are, they will be greatly reduced and even lose their combat effectiveness on this rainy day. Although it is risky to attack on a rainy day, it is much safer than facing a sharp firearms attack from the Far East. And today's rain is just a light rain, and the visibility is very high.

Several Tartars came from the official road, and there was no mud in the wild, they could brave the light rain and rush all the way along the official road to the city of Shenyang. As long as they rush to the front of the Far Eastern army formation, even if they dismount and fight on foot in the Far East, they can be invincible. The Tartars are quite confident in close combat, and none of them are afraid of this in this regard.

Li Ming and Gao Jianguo braved the light rain and patrolled around under the city of Shenyang, and they were also very nervous. Originally, the situation was very favorable, and their initial tactical ideas were basically achieved, but at the last moment they were all stuck.

Now the positions of the Far Eastern Army under the city of Shenyang, everyone has relaxed. After all, in this era, there are almost no battles on rainy days, and in the era of cold weapons, the conditions are not good in all aspects, and it is very dangerous to fight in a muddy environment with roads. Not only under the city of Shenyang, but also in the Far East, the ambush positions were also very lax.

Next to it is the position of an overseas brigade, which is the place where the positions of the Wild Wolf Brigade and the Mad Dog Brigade are handed over.

Zhao Si is the platoon commander of the Wild Wolf Brigade, he looked at Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer in the distance, and laughed: "Lao Wang, Hammer, it's been a long time, are you still comfortable in the Dog Brigade?" Haha......"

Zhang Tiehammer took a sip, patted his chest mark and scolded angrily: "You can fucking see clearly, this is the Mad Dog Brigade, don't say that you big-tailed wolves, even lions and tigers, Lao Tzu dares to go up and take a few bites." ”

Several ruffians from the Wild Wolf Brigade next to them also began to coax: "Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat." Haha......"

The soldiers of the Mad Dog Brigade immediately quit, and scolded one after another: "You group of guts with tails, at first glance, you are the slutty she-wolves chirping of the girls, one day the master will match you well, haha......"

The two sides scolded and laughed back and forth, and the battalion and company commander of the overseas brigade next to him didn't care, they just sat there and watched with a smile. As for these soldiers of overseas brigades, the requirements of the Military Commission are that when they should be nervous, as long as they can be nervous, they do not have to be so strict in peacetime. After all, these ruffians used to be casual before, and the foundation they laid was not good. Anyway, they will mainly be stationed overseas in the future, and it will be others who will be harmed.

But a few of the ruffians were excited, took off the wide-brimmed hats from their heads, and shook them at the opposite side. Because the soldiers of the overseas brigade still use front-loading muskets, when it rains, the soldiers of each overseas brigade are equipped with a wide-brimmed hat, in order to play the role of shielding from the rain when loading ammunition.

The regulations of the overseas brigade stipulate that when fighting, if it rains, you must always carry a hat. So several company commanders immediately shouted loudly: "Bring all the hats, have you forgotten all the regulations?" ”

Several ruffians stuck out their tongues and hurriedly put their hats on their heads again. Li Ming, who was next to him, suddenly had a flash of inspiration when he heard it, as if he had caught something, Gao Jianguo next to him saw Li Ming's sluggish face, and asked suspiciously: "Li Ming, are you okay?" ”

Li Ming suddenly shouted to Gao Jianguo: "Tartar is waiting for this rain, haha...... They thought that when it rained, our guns would be like Ming firearms, and they would not be able to fire. ”

Gao Jianguo listened to Li Ming's words, and suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't I think of it." ”

Li Ming said anxiously: "Old Gao, will the Tartars launch an attack now, and the Emperor Taiji in the city must be waiting for this rain." ”

The two glanced at each other and hurriedly ran towards the headquarters not far away...... (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
