Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 567
Sancha River.

There are many ships staying on the sea surface of the estuary.

In the cabin of a big ship, several people are discussing something.

In the cabin, there is a small sand table in the middle, and several people sit around the sand table. On the sand table is the terrain around the Sancha River.

These people are Sun Chengzong, Qin Liangyu, Man Dui, Mao Wenlong and so on.

"Presumably the Tartars must have known about the Jinning War, but these days, there is still no movement. You see, what should we do?" Sun Chengzong said with a smile, Sun Chengzong must be happy, eight thousand Tartars, this big Victory can be described as brilliant. As soon as the news spread to Sanchahe, the morale suddenly increased. However, after a few days, the Tartars still stayed in the camp without any movement, and they still sent some scouts out every day. , wandering around, fighting scout battles, there is no intention of coming out for a decisive battle.

"Old Man Ge, it's not that the Tatars want to retreat. They are ready to leave." Qin Liangyu is also a little envious of Yuan Chonghuan. Now, Yuan Chonghuan has become an indomitable hero. Qin Liangyu is also worried about this now, fearing that the Tartars will be beaten. It hurts too much, and she dare not fight her, then she will miss the opportunity to fight the Tartars, and lose the opportunity to prove herself and prove that she is a worthless soldier.

"Ge Lao, according to the general, I am afraid that the chieftain is blocking this news, so he dare not let people know..." Mao Wenlong is holding back all day now. Yuan Chonghuan's big victory this time is because he ran against Yuan Chonghuan. It came out, but now Yuan Chonghuan has washed the hat of "lady" with practical actions. Now, that is, he still has this hat on his head. Now, he is the only one who suffers. He always thinks about it. Just take this hat off.

"Elder Ge, in the final analysis, we might as well take advantage of Jinning's new victories and the surge in morale, and make sure to kill the Tartars and kill them in one fell swoop..." Man Gui also said carelessly. Said.

"Zhensu, what do you think?" Sun Chengzong asked Qin Liangyu after asking everyone's opinions.

"Old man Huige, Zhensu thought that since the Tartars dare not come, they might as well go forward. Now that my Ming's morale is high, when I try my best, Zhensu is ready and determined to win..." Qin Liangyu wanted to kill immediately Go up and beat the Tartars to pieces. Now that a strong army is in hand, Qin Liangyu is full of confidence. Judging from the situation of the last fight with the Tartars, Qin Liangyu has great confidence.

"Well... it is possible for the infantry to attack the Tartar camp. However, many red barbarian cannons are inconvenient to transport, and it is relatively hasty to set up an array. It is far better to stand up and wait for the Tartars to attack. It is far away from the protection of warships, and it is considered to be alone. Although it is possible, the risk is much higher..." Sun Chengzong had to consider the pros and cons. If he fought on the coastline, he could be protected by warships and fortifications. Even if it is defeated, the loss is limited, but if you go deep into the inland to fight, once you lose, the consequences will be unimaginable. Sun Chengzong has to consider these consequences.

"Old Ge, the general thought that it is indeed possible to rush up and force the Tartars to fight a decisive battle. The general analyzed the battles in Jinning carefully and found that as long as the Tartars' scouting horses are suppressed, the Tartars will be blind. If they can be suppressed The white-armed soldiers who live in the Tartars can go up and walk twenty miles a day, and they will never be attacked by the Tartars... When they get close to the Tartar camp, the Tartars will not be able to fight even if they don’t want to. It's gone." Mao Wenlong is holding back so badly now, Yuan Chonghuan has washed off the hat on his head, and now, he is still wearing the hat alone, and Mao Wenlong is thinking about taking it off all the time.

"...If the Tartar brigade is dispatched, the general is willing to buy time for the white soldiers to stand up..." Mao Wenlong said again.

Sun Chengzong listened and nodded. The horse team intercepted and bought time for the infantry and artillery to stand up. Today, facing the Tartars who are several chips higher than the Mongols in combat power, Sun Chengzong doesn't know if he can do it. The strength of Sanchahe is not dominant. If it is only counted as elite soldiers, there are not even as many Tartars. The safest thing is that the Tatars will come to the door automatically, relying on the geographical advantage, the chances of winning are greater, but now, the news of Jinzhou has been spread for several days, and the Tatars have not moved yet, Sun Chengzong does not know whether to take the initiative to attack or wait for the Tatars Son to attack.There are pros and cons to both sides.

"I can understand everyone's feelings..." Sun Chengzong was also in a dilemma. At this time, the siege of Songshan Fort was almost lifted. With the disengagement, the Ming Dynasty can declare itself victorious, and then the Sancha River can actually be withdrawn. This year's fight, the Tartars have not gained any benefits, and the Ming Dynasty has made a disgraced face here and suffered heavy losses.The Ming Dynasty can already ignore the Tartars. Strategically, it has already taken the initiative. There is no need to join in to fight the Tartars. If the Tartars like to confront each other, he can stay with them to the end. Donglu cannot afford to delay. Sun Chengzong is very willing to delay here. If he can win, Sun Chengzong doesn't mind procrastinating.

However, the current morale is high, while the morale of the Tartars is plummeting. It is a pity to lose such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's also a bit difficult.The most important thing is that with white soldiers as the main force, they still need to be able to take the initiative to attack after all. This way, waiting for the Tartars to come to fight, once or twice is fine, it can't be like this forever. A decisive force still has to go through the tempering of the flames of war, that is to say, attack is a must.

Seeing that Mr. Sun Ge was in deep thought, everyone knew that Mr. Sun Ge was making decisions, so they couldn't disturb them, and waited quietly.

"How about this, Zhensu leads the army, advance fifteen miles, and set up camp at the Wang's shack..." Sun Chengzong thought about it and made this decision. Sun Chengzong didn't want to rush up to attack the Tartars' camp, that would be too hard , the chances of winning are not high. Now the Ming Dynasty has no pressure to regain lost ground, nor is there any pressure to rush to win. It only has a long-term strategy to kill the Tartars. It is the safest and most comfortable for the Tartars to attack. The Tartars like to confront each other, so let him confront it. Moreover, if he loses, the pressure from the court is not small, so he can not care about it, but the emperor's The pressure is great. Now, he also vaguely heard some gossip, which seems to be unfavorable to the emperor, and the emperor's actions are too big. Sun Chengzong also had to consider these things. After much deliberation, he decided to push the front line forward by fifteen Here, we are still preparing for offense, which is also preparing for defense.

After hearing this, the generals couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Mr. Sun Ge still didn't decide to send troops to the Tartar camp immediately, but only pushed the front line forward by fifteen miles.

"You guys can understand how you feel. However, military and state affairs are not trifling matters. Now that I, Ming, have taken the initiative, there is no need to rush to fight the Tartars. It will be more beneficial for me, Da Ming, to wait for the Tartars to attack. , Don't be impatient..." Sun Chengzong frowned and said, his position seems to be beautiful, but it is also difficult, and if he is a little careless, major events will be ruined, and things will get out of hand.

"Ge Lao taught me a lesson..." Several generals who had been eager to try all lowered their heads. They were all big and big people, but they were also stimulated by the victory of the 8000 heads. What they always wanted was to fight a bigger The victory of the battle, now being criticized by Sun Chengzong for being impatient, several people feel blush.

"Ge Lao, why is it fifteen miles?" Qin Liangyu interrupted quickly, breaking the awkward scene.

"It's nothing. My Ming's Hongyi cannons can shoot seven or eight miles away, and the cannons on both sides can shoot fifteen miles. In this way, the fortifications on the coast can be supported to the Wang's shack. In this way, the Tartars will It can't be besieged, and it can't cut off the way back, and it can stay there permanently, and there is no risk of running out of food..." Sun Chengzong explained.Sun Chengzong still decided to fight the enemy according to the existing strategy, but it is also a good idea to show the white soldiers to see the reaction of the Tartars. Besides, it is quite a conservative method. It is also a tentative approach after advancing fifteen miles. Attacked, it is still waiting for the Tartars to attack, if all goes well, it will not be too late to move forward.

Just as he was talking, a voice came from outside: "Report!" Sun Chengzong was interrupted.

"What's the matter?" Sun Chengzong asked.Everyone also looked at the general who walked in.

"Mr. Huige, Donglu sent a letter of war..." the general reported.

"The letter of war?..." Sun Chengzong was a little surprised, when did he need a letter of war to fight against the Eastern Captives?Don't the Tartars always like to advance lightly and sneak attack?Still an aboveboard afternoon?Is the sun coming out in the west?
"Old Huige, that's right, it's the war letter sent by the Tartars..." the general confirmed again, and sent the war letter.

The people in this room were also quite surprised, and the Tatars would also send the letter of war, which was even more joyful. If the Tartars issued the letter of war, that is to say, they could fight.

Sun Chengzong read the war letter, frowned and said: "The Tartars asked me to fight a decisive battle in the big shack of the Liu family in three days." Sun Chengzong handed the war letter to everyone.

Everyone looked at the gauntlet.

"Mr. Ge, let's fight. Zhensu is sure to win!" Qin Liangyu also wanted to have a showdown with the Tatars. Originally, Mr. Sun Ge didn't plan to attack the Tatars' camp, but someone else sent a letter of challenge. It's another matter, if others send the letter of war and still can't avoid the battle, it will have a great impact on morale, Qin Liangyu asked for a war with a happy face.

"Ge Lao, let's fight..." Mao Wenlong also urged.

Sun Chengzong suddenly saw something on the general who came in, and asked, "Is it raining outside?"

"Old Huige, that's right, it's raining outside now..." The general heard Sun Chengzong's words and looked back at himself. There were indeed some water stains on the armor.

"Hmm!..." Sun Chengzong frowned. To be honest, according to the agreement in the war book, the Ming Dynasty may not necessarily suffer a decisive battle at the Liu family's shack. It is much more certain than attacking the Tartar camp. If it was a decisive battle at the big shack of the Liu family, Sun Chengzong believed that he was sure to win against the Tartars, but there was one thing that Sun Chengzong couldn't decide. This matter could determine the success or failure of life and death, and that was the weather.
