Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 190 Decoy
Between Liaodong City and Sarhu, a Hun River is connected. This line has become a battleground between the Liao Army and the Eight Banners Army. The two sides have deployed more than tens of thousands of troops on this front.At present, Chu Yun's Fifth Infantry Brigade, Third Infantry Brigade, and Artillery Brigade are partly arranged on this main front.On the opposite side are Mangurtai's Zhenglan Banner and Amin's Xianglan Banner.

The Liao Army's garrison was near Fushun Pass, which was set on the commanding heights north of the Hunhe River Valley, and opened the gate to Jianzhouwei.Twenty miles away from Fushun Pass is Fushun City, which should have been a good place to garrison troops, but after conquering Fushun City ten years ago, Nurhachi looted more than 30 people and animals. Before leaving, he set fire to Fushun City.Since then, until now, Fushun City is still in ruins, with only a dozen or so families scattered.

Due to the strategy of round-to-round combat, the Fuliao Army would sneak up on the soldiers of the Eight Banners every now and then, and once succeeded, they would immediately retreat to Fushun Pass, making the Eight Banners grit their teeth with hatred and had no choice but to do so.If they chased these Fuliao troops who came to sneak attack, they would be easily bombarded by Fushun Pass.The range of shelling is very far.They found that the heavy armor of their soldiers was no longer able to withstand the muskets of the Liao army, not to mention the high cost of heavy armor, and there were more soldiers without armor or light armor. These soldiers were just targets in front of flintlock guns.

Therefore, the Eight Banners Army began to build fortresses along the Hunhe River, making Sarhu, Gulezhai, Jilin Cliff and other important places form horns.No one knows when the escalating conflict between the two sides will lead to a large-scale decisive battle.

In the camp of the Fuliao Army on the north side of the Hunhe River, the third battalion of the Fifth Infantry Brigade was still an infantry battalion mostly composed of recruits.After this month's round of battles, they had several small-scale battles with the Eight Banners soldiers, which can be regarded as some combat experience.

"Recently, the Eight Banners Army seems to be afraid of being beaten by us. They have been hiding in the fortress, or sticking to the vicinity of Sarhu, and will not fight us. If this continues, we will have no military achievements." He Yi, the commander of the third battalion, stared at the surrounding area. Topographical map, said to the people below melancholy.

The topographic map of the vicinity was carved on a wooden board by Chu Yunren and then printed. Every officer has it, so that they can observe the nearby topography anytime and anywhere.

"Look at the first battalion next door. A few days ago, they attacked a grain transport team of Eight Banners soldiers, beheaded a hundred ranks, and intercepted a batch of grain and grass. The army leader sent someone to reward them. Look at us again. However, the biggest battle was to storm the opponent's fortress and kill dozens of opponents with artillery bombardment." He Yi said again.

The young officers present all nodded.Now it is rare that the Liao Army has the upper hand, but the Eight Banners Army is firmly clearing the wall, making them feel like their fists have hit the cotton.

"Chen Xiaolian, you are a new military staff officer. You have always been quick-witted. Do you have any good ideas to lure the Eight Banners Army out, and then we will beat them up?" He Yi turned his gaze to the Army Lecture Hall Chen Xiaolian in training.

"I have some ideas here, but it's just too risky." Chen Xiaolian pointed along the north bank of the Hun River, "Look, now the Xianglan Banner is standing firmly near Sarhu, and the Zhenglan Banner is supporting it in Gulezhai. It is expected that the Eight Banners will There are 2 soldiers plus supplies and logistics. There are more than a thousand people in our battalion, and they definitely don’t care about us.”

"Look here again. The Suzi River extends from the Hun River. The two rivers form a triangle. There is a fortress of the Eight Banners soldiers here, with only one or two soldiers. If we surround this fortress, the Eight Banners Army will definitely send troops to rescue it. At that time, we can have a field battle with the soldiers of the Eight Banners." Chen Xiaolian said, "This move is called encirclement and reinforcements. But if there are too many reinforcements from the other side, we may fall into a tight siege, and I am afraid that our retreat will be cut off. overwhelmed."

"At the confluence of the Suzi River Valley and the Hun River, the distance from Fushun Pass to our Fushun Pass has already exceeded the requirements of the internal round of war within the distance of [-] miles stipulated by the military commander. And it is close to the Xianglan Banner of Sarhu, where the enemy's Reinforcements will arrive soon, if we are not victorious, we will be in danger." He Yi and the others hesitated.

"But for the sake of military exploits, we seem to have no other better way to attract the opponent's troops. It is precisely because we have few people that the opponent will rest assured to reinforce." Chen Xiaolian said, "We can march secretly at night and enter the Suzi River Valley In the process, the enemy will be shaken, and then people will ask for help from the brigade commander and others. Turn this battle into a large-scale battle!"

"Hiss..." He Yi and the others gasped.Chen Xiaolian's idea was too bold. He wanted to use the lives of more than a thousand soldiers in his own battalion as bait to lure out all the nearby Eight Banners troops, and then let the large troops encircle these Eight Banners troops.

They are very dangerous just as bait. If they are surrounded by a large army and wiped out by the Eight Banners army, then they will become cannon fodder.But this also means an opportunity. If they win this battle, their third battalion will become the hero of this decisive battle.

"As far as I can see, our troops have advanced to the two fronts of Fushun Pass and Qinghe Fort. It will be a matter of time before we launch a decisive battle. Why don't we take the initiative to propose to the army leader that our infantry battalion be used as a bait to break into the Suzi River Valley first, and then The army advances, wipes out the strength of the two banners on this front, and opens the passage to Fushun Pass and Hetuala." Chen Xiaolian said.

"Everyone, since we can't capture enough heads of the enemy, why don't we take a risk and wager our own lives to provoke a war of annihilation against Hou Jin?" Chen Xiaolian looked around the crowd, his tone was a little excited, and his eyes revealed crazy.

"We did it!" He Yi and the others couldn't hold back their blood. The party who provoked the decisive battle will definitely go down in history, because it is worth dying!
The report of the [-]rd Battalion of the [-]th Infantry Brigade was reported to the brigade commander Changyi, who was a little surprised after reading it.Then he reported the report to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun, who sits in Liaodong City, is deploying troops.In his map, three thick arrows are depicted with arrows.One of them is the area from Fushun to Sarhu and Gulezhai, pointing directly to Hetuala, Houjin's lair from the west.

"The third infantry battalion is willing to act as a bait?" Chu Yun couldn't help smiling when he received Changyi's battle plan.It just so happened that Chu Yun and the officers of the military staff have been drawing up a general plan for fighting Hou Jin these days.This time, He Yi and Chen Xiaolian took the initiative to challenge the battle, so there was no need for Chu Yun to deliberately arrange the vanguard.
