The battle was public, there were no secrets to speak of, which fully demonstrated the self-confidence of the imperial court, and after Su Tiancheng arrived in Liaodong, all preparations entered the countdown stage.

The first place that the Gangning battalion needed to occupy was Quang Ninh.

Quang Ninh belongs to the choke point, once Quang Ninh is occupied, Xiping Fort and Uiju are self-defeating, and the Houjin Tartars stationed in these two places will either quickly abandon the city and evacuate, or wait to be completely annihilated, there is no other way out.

All the eyes of Houjin are focused on Liaodong.

Zierharang returned to Shenyang and reported the news of the breakdown of the negotiations, from that moment on, Shenyang entered a state of first-class combat readiness, judging from the real thoughts of Huang Taiji and Haoge, they knew very well that the Great Qing Kingdom could not resist the attack of the Great Jin Dynasty, and defeat was expected, but the strong Jurchen could return to the white water of Black Mountain, or could keep the lifeblood of the Great Qing Kingdom.

Huang Taiji is not a stubborn person, this may be because he is getting older, if this situation appeared ten years ago, Huang Taiji will definitely not choose to leave a back road, and he will definitely burn all the jade.

Garrisoned in Yizhou and Xipingbao is mainly the army of the Han Eight Banners, stationed in Quang Ninh is the Red Banner led by Dai Shan and the Yellow Banner of the Eight Banners of the Sergeant, so many years of practice have passed, the Red Flag that has been tragically destroyed and the fate of the Zheng Red Banner has been re-established, as for whether the combat effectiveness can be compared with before, no one knows the way.

Heavy troops were deployed around Shenyang, including the Zhenghuang Banner, the Yellow Banner, the Zhenglan Banner and the Blue Banner, as well as a part of the army of the Han Eight Banners, once Guangning was lost. Next, the Jiangning battalion will definitely cross the Liao River and attack Shenyang directly, as for the white flag and inlaid white flag led by Dolgon, they will be stationed in the Haizhou area.

The deployment made by Huang Taiji is still in the shape of a pin, and the three parties can take care of it. But the focus is on guarding Shenyang, Liaoyang and the surrounding areas, Shenyang is the capital of the Qing Dynasty after all, if Shenyang is lost, it means that the Qing regime has suffered a heavy blow, it is estimated that many Manchu nobles will also think that the Qing Dynasty is a failure.

Huang Taiji didn't look at it this way, and the Qing Dynasty occupied Shenyang for a very long time, not more than 20 years, in case he couldn't hold Shenyang. You can retreat to Tieling, Kaiyuan and other places, or even retreat to Zhenbei Pass, in addition, you can also retreat in the direction of Fushun and Sarhu, and return to the white water of Black Mountain, and return to the once familiar white water of Black Mountain, I am afraid that there is not much way for the powerful Jiangning battalion.

The Manchu nobles' operational thinking of the decisive battle against Guangning Yuan was ruthlessly rejected by Huang Taiji, the foundation of the Great Qing State in Guangning. It has suffered severe damage, and if it is the main battlefield here. After causing heavy casualties, Shenyang became precarious, which was a foolish choice for Huang Taiji, who had a backhand.

Hauge did not directly command or participate in the battle.

The arrangement made by Huang Taiji was very strange, Haoge led some elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to garrison in the area of Fushun and Tieling, not far from Shenyang. And without the holy decree of Huang Taiji, Haoge would not have returned to Shenyang.

This time, Huang Taiji personally went out of the mountain and commanded the entire campaign, focusing on the defense of Shenyang.

All think. The focus of the attack was in the direction of Quang Ninh, and the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion in Liaodong had already assembled in Dalinghe City and Black Mountain City, and when the order was issued, they would go straight to Quang Ninh City, and as for Xipingbao and Yizhou on the left and right, they would not pay attention.

Su Tiancheng, who was in Jinzhou City, was not in a hurry at this time, making everyone confused.

Lianyun Island, which is separated by a sea from Jinzhou, there was an abnormality at this time, a large number of warships stayed on Lianyun Island, and a steady stream of soldiers and materials were transported to Gaizhou.

June 10 of the fifth year of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The battle broke out suddenly, but not in Liaodong, but in the Yaozhou direction.

Stationed in Yaozhou, Haizhou, Anshan, Liaoyang and other places, is led by Dolgon is the white flag and white flag sergeants, close to 50,000 troops, need to be stationed in four cities, the pressure is still a little big, but according to the requirements of Huang Taiji, Liaoyang and Haizhou are the most important, and they also need to be heavily defended, so in terms of military arrangement, this principle is also followed.

The weakest defense is Yaozhou.

Houjin Tatars and Jiangning battalions competed in the area of Gaizhou and Yaozhou, but both sides were very careful and did not provoke a fight at will, and after Su Tiancheng arrived in Liaodong, everyone's attention was focused on Guangning, thinking that the Jiangning battalion would launch a large-scale attack from Guangning, and then cross the Liao River and attack Shenyang directly.

No one would have thought that the battle would start from Yaozhou first.

Even Dolgon was caught off guard, and after receiving an urgent call for help from the sergeant stationed in Yaozhou, Dolgon spread out the map and carefully analyzed the situation, and he came to a terrible conclusion, Su Tiancheng, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, this time was ready to completely exterminate the army of the Great Qing State and completely destroy the military strength of the Great Qing State.

At the same time, the attack from the direction of Liaodong and Gaizhou will completely shake the deployment of the Great Qing State, most of the troops of the Great Qing State are stationed around Shenyang, and it is also the focus of defense against the Jiangning battalion from the direction of Liaodong, in terms of troops, the Great Qing State is not at a disadvantage, and even has a great advantage, which is also where Huang Taiji is slightly relieved, no matter how sharp the artillery of the Jiangning battalion is, Huang Taiji, who occupies the advantage in numbers, can always think of a solution.

But now the situation has changed dramatically.

The Jiangning battalion suddenly launched an attack from two directions, and the first direction of the attack was Yaozhou, and even in the case of Liaodong not yet at war, Yaozhou was the first to start, once Yaozhou, Haizhou and other places were lost, Liaoyang, as an important barrier of Shenyang, there was a huge danger, the army stationed here, could not go to reinforce Shenyang, could only maintain it hard, and even needed reinforcements from the direction of Shenyang, then the Jiangning battalion that crossed the Liaohe River from the direction of Liaodong would be able to drive straight into Shenyang and attack Shenyang directly, and what was even more fatal was that Liaoyang is very close to Shenyang, and if there is any mistake in Liaoyang, it will be a huge shock to Shenyang, and it will even directly affect the morale of the military.

After making an analysis in the shortest possible time, Dolgon made up his mind to keep Haizhou, so that Anshan and Liaoyang behind him would be relatively safe.

Until this time, there was still no obvious change in the understanding in Dolgon's mind, he thought that the attack from the direction of Yaozhou was only a small number of troops in the Jiangning battalion, and the real direction of the attack was still in Guangning, maybe the attack here was to attract everyone's attention, or to threaten Liaoyang and other places. As long as he led his soldiers to resist desperately, he could slow down the attack of the Jiangning battalion, and even force the Jiangning battalion to attack from the direction of Quang Ninh.

Hong Chengchou had already secretly arrived in Gaizhou.

Before leaving the capital, the emperor convened the five prime ministers to discuss the meeting.

Everyone originally thought that this was before the emperor left the capital, arranging many affairs in the court, but who knew that the emperor of Lu Dao prominently proposed that the attack on the Houjin Tartars was carried out from two aspects, the direction of Liaodong and the direction of Haizhou, the attack in both directions was the focus, and a large amount of information about Haizhou, Yaozhou and other places provided by Qu Qingze was also taken out, indicating that the defense strength of these places was relatively weak.

Hong Chengchou became the commander of the attack in the direction of Yaozhou.

This time the discussion was very short, and the emperor made a clear request that the news should not be leaked.

After that, the emperor went to Liaodong with great fanfare, which made everyone believe that the attack planned by the imperial court first started from Guangning, and the first places that needed to be taken were Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou.

Just when all eyes were focused on Liaodong, Hong Chengchou quietly left the capital and rushed to Gaizhou.

The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Shandong secretly took a warship and rushed to Lianyun Island under the command of Sun Chuanting.

Hong Chengchou admired the emperor's arrangement, and the total strength of the Jiangning battalion soldiers who attacked from the direction of Gaizhou reached 150,000, and the total strength of the Jiangning battalion was only 100,000.

It seems that the emperor still knows the way, and the advantage of troops is very important.

Hong Chengchou and others also privately worried, the total strength of the Houjin Tartars, Lin Lin finally summed up, close to 400,000, sent 100,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, thinking that they could handle everything, is this a little too confident, and even when the emperor made relevant decisions, Hong Chengchou also raised objections.

The battle to attack Yaozhou was very smooth.

Artillery played a decisive role, after a long period of research, Bi Maokang and others focused on solving the problem of artillery movement and deployment, artillery is huge, relatively heavy and heavy, and the terrain requirements are very high, in order to be able to make artillery can play a role in rapid mobile combat, those personnel who specialize in the study of artillery in the arsenal can be said to have made great efforts to reduce the weight of artillery, improve the difficulty of artillery movement, and let the artillery in not very favorable terrain, It is also capable of firing accurately.

These studies have produced significant results.

In the battle of attacking Yaozhou, 500 artillery pieces were deployed overnight, after dawn, the roar of the artillery almost annihilated Yaozhou City, and the Houjin Tartars stationed in Yaozhou did not have much power to resist at all, and the artillery deployed on the city wall was blown into the air, and the city walls collapsed one after another, and the traditional battle of defending the city had no effect.

When the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion launched a charge, the role of flintlock pistols and furlong cannons was also shown, and after a long and rigorous training, the sergeants were able to skillfully operate the flintlock pistols and aim at the opponent to shoot. (To be continued......)
