The Jiangning battalion was divided into three, Hong Chengchou commanded 30,000 of them, responsible for facing the Houjin Tatars, He Renlong and Ai Nengqi commanded 30,000 of them, responsible for attacking the 50,000 Datong border army, and Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo led 10,000 people, responsible for resisting the 50,000 Datong border army that was preparing for reinforcements.

After facing two battles encountered in advance, Hong Chengchou thought carefully and thought that the previous campaign deployment needed to be adjusted, which is not to say that Hong Chengchou had any foresight, but the facts made him have a clear understanding that this time the pressure faced by the Jiangning battalion is huge, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may encounter an unprecedented fiasco, so in all the details, it is necessary to make a precise arrangement, taking into account all possible situations.

There are also problems with such arrangements and deployments, that is, the campaign cannot end in a short period of time, and the possibility of forming a protracted war is very great, but this is the situation that Hong Chengchou is willing to see, because the 40,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers led by Lu Xiangsheng are rushing to Cangzhou day and night, and once the 40,000 troops arrive, it is time to decide the victory.

Of course, another problem of protracted warfare is that it is impossible to avoid heavy casualties, which is also unfavorable to the Jiangning battalion, after all, this is not the base of the Jiangning battalion, it is impossible to get a lot of support, everything has to rely on itself, if such a battle is carried out in Shandong, Hong Chengchou will not be so angry.

Su Tiancheng completely agreed with this arrangement, and at this time, he thought that Hong Chengchou's understanding had really changed, and he thought that he needed a bloody lesson, and it seemed that he had avoided taking this step, but it was not a simple matter to make this decision, which meant that Jiang Ningying would have to face an opponent who was twice as much as himself. In the fierce battle on the battlefield, there must be no signs of rout, and it must be held out until Lu Xiangsheng and the army arrives, and in addition, it is necessary to ensure that Sun Chuanting, who is in Tianjin, can lead an army of 30,000 to hold out and drag the Ming army of nearly 200,000.

This is a real gamble, I can't imagine that the battle for the conquest of Beizhili has become so difficult, critical and cruel.

But it has come to this point, and there is no way back. It is impossible to return to Nanjing, after such a long time of preparation, the opportunity is so good, it is not Su Tiancheng's character to give up, nor is it what the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are looking forward to. After so many years, every time the Jiangning battalion faced a dangerous battle. Never retreated. Think about it when I was in Kuizhou, wasn't it also a situation of a thousand moments, and it was the battle of Kuizhou that completely wiped out the Liukou.

Su Tiancheng believed that the battle of Cangzhou would completely crush the Ming court. It is even possible to hit the Houjin Tartar hard, from this level, the battle of Cangzhou and the battle of Kuizhou that year. There are so many similarities.

This is a hard battle, maybe it won't last too long, but in the process of the battle, the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion will face a huge test and endure the baptism of blood and fire.

The first to enter the house was Hong Chengchou.

For Hong Chengchou, Su Tiancheng has nothing in particular to emphasize, Hong Chengchou already has an extraordinary ability, can command a large army to fight, and can also judge the situation and make clear decisions.

"Hong Chengchou, the criticality of the battle, I won't say more, although you are the commander-in-chief, you are the commander-in-chief, but the situation is different now, you can only command 30,000 soldiers, directly against the Houjin Tartars, this is a direct duel between you and Dolgon, but don't expect to use 30,000 people, completely defeat more than 50,000 Houjin Tartars, this kind of thinking is unrealistic, the main thing is to hold on, and the Houjin Tartars are in a state of confrontation, how to arrange the troops, how to use the most effective means to win time, I don't want to say much, I hope you can make the Houjin Tartars lament in front of the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion......"

Then entering the room were He Renlong and Ai Nengqi.

The 30,000 army led by the two will directly meet the 50,000 Datong border army, that is, the Datong border army stationed in the valley, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Datong border army cannot be directly compared with the Houjin Tartar, but this is by no means to say that He Renlong and Ainengqi's task is lighter, on the contrary, He Renlong and Ainengqi must make a breakthrough in the shortest possible time and defeat the 50,000 Datong border army in one fell swoop, so that they can directly deter the Houjin Tartars stationed not far away, and deter Dolgon, When Dolgon fought with Hong Chengchou, he had to consider the next way out, which could minimize the pressure on Hong Chengchou, and to put it bluntly, it could reduce the casualties of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.

There is no doubt that He Renlong and Ai Nengqi are brave in battle, but how to really play the role of commander in such a critical battle is what Su Tiancheng needs to emphasize.

"He Renlong, Ai Nengqi, the bravery of the two of you in battle is worthy of recognition, but there is one thing you need to remember, for the generals, trembling, such as walking on thin ice in the abyss, you need to take into account the overall campaign deployment at all times, this time you led 30,000 soldiers, responsible for facing the Datong border army of 50,000 people, in terms of numbers, there is no advantage, but from the momentum of the soldiers, there is a great certainty, the importance of your battle against the Datong border army, I don't want to emphasize too much, you are all clear, I send you three words, steady and ruthless, fight steadily, fight hard, fight accurately, you will be able to complete the task of the battle very well, this is not the first time you have led a large army to fight alone, I am waiting for your good news......"

The last to enter the house were Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo.

These two people need to be specially emphasized by Su Tiancheng, and they are also specially arranged to say it later.

When Su Tiancheng spoke, his expression was unusually serious.

"Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo, I once fought in Fengyang Mansion, that battle, you must also know the way, I led four thousand Jiangning battalion soldiers, but resisted nearly 50,000 rogues, to ensure the battle of annihilation ahead, that battle, I will never forget, strictly speaking, it is precisely because of the prevention of nearly 50,000 rogue reinforcements that we can win the battle of Fengyang, and we can keep Fengyang."

"The situation you are facing is the same as back then, with 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, resisting the reinforcements of 50,000 Datong border troops, such an arduous task is impossible to imagine in other armies, and it seems to be an impossible task, so I would like to emphasize that you must complete the task, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion must use their flesh and blood to resist an opponent who is five times their own."

"If you can't resist it, let the 100,000 Datong border troops get together, there will be huge trouble in this battle, and it may become a turning point in the battle, and the overall deployment of the Jiangning battalion may collapse, after all, the opponent has 150,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is good."

"I believe that you can work hard, the so-called generals use their lives, and the three armies are desperate, but you must not forget at any time, your duty is to prevent the reinforcements of the 50,000 Datong border army, I have calculated the time, you need to hold on for at least three days or so, waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to lead the army to Cangzhou, at that time, it is the time when the army launches the most rear-end attack."

"I especially emphasize to you, that is, I think that you can fully realize the responsibility on your shoulders, and I believe that you will be able to complete this seemingly impossible task......

Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo, their faces glowing red, killing the enemy on the battlefield, both of them wanted to be able to undertake the most important combat tasks, and everyone thought that they could make great contributions, leading 10,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers to block the reinforcements of the 50,000 Datong border army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to predict such an arduous task in the future, and how can the two not cherish such an opportunity.

After the conversation, Su Tiancheng walked out of the house, the soldiers outside the room vigilantly paid attention to the situation around them, Wu Rong and the other four people did not leave an inch, if there was any danger, they would not hesitate to use their bodies to protect Su Tiancheng.

No matter how Su Tiancheng arranged, Hong Chengchou and the others still insisted on their own opinions, Su Tiancheng had two thousand personal soldiers around him, and Su Tiancheng was not able to go to the battlefield, absolutely not allowed, no matter what the situation was.

Su Tiancheng didn't insist, he knew very well that he was already the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and his identity was even more different, if he reluctantly went to the front to charge, it would only worry officers at all levels, and the main energy was not to kill the opponent, but to protect himself.

Su Tiancheng regretted that in such an important battle, he could only watch from a distance under the escort of his own soldiers, and if there was a slight problem in the battle situation, the personal soldiers would lead him to evacuate, and he should know that the leader of the Lu Dao personal soldiers was directly served by Liu Tiehan this time, which was also arranged by Hong Chengchou.

Qu Qingze had been waiting outside the house, and after seeing Su Tiancheng come out, he stepped forward to salute Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng waved his hand, signaling that Qu Qingze did not have to salute.

"Lao Qu, this battle is so important, I am a little apprehensive."

"Your Majesty, the minister is even more worried, after all, he is facing 150,000 opponents, and the strength of the opponent is not weak, the minister has ordered the scouts to hurry up, urging Lord Lu to lead the soldiers and rush to Cangzhou, I believe that the army will be able to arrive in three days at most, but the minister doesn't understand a little, why doesn't the emperor wait until Lord Lu leads the army to arrive, and then start a fight."

Su Tiancheng shook his head.

"Chen Xinjia, Wang Daozhi and Dolgon didn't sleep a lot, they will also send scouts to reconnoiter the intelligence everywhere, once they know that Lu Xiangsheng led the army to come to help, what do you think they will do, will they wait here to be beaten, but after the war starts tomorrow, they will know that Lu Xiangsheng led the army to reinforcements, and they can't get out completely, at that time, they will either grit their teeth and fight with our army, or they will suffer huge losses and retreat in the direction of Tianjin, I would like to see the second situation, hoping that the decisive battle will unfold in Tianjin, so that the Ming court will be able to feel a huge shock.
