Chen Zhong left quickly, and Li Yuanqing looked at Kong Youde with a smile, "Xiao Kong, if you have any good ideas, let me know."

Kong Youde smiled and bowed his hands to Li Yuanqing respectfully, "Commander, I was just discussing this with my brothers. According to the current situation, neither our army nor the Hou Jin Army can afford to lose. But for a while, neither the enemy nor we have enough strength to break the situation.

.If this stalemate continues, I’m afraid it will not benefit anyone.”

"Anshan Fort is already adjacent to the hinterland of Liaoyang. It is impossible for the Hou Jin Army to take the initiative. But if they don't take the initiative, with the tortoise shell of the city and fortifications protecting us, we won't be able to do anything for a while. So,

Thinking about it, we want to defeat the enemy. First, we can only attack by force. Second, we may be able to expose some flaws and draw out some Tatars. As long as we can open the first gap, the next war will definitely go smoothly.

"

All the generals around him nodded.

Kong Youde is worthy of being the number one general in southern Liaoning. This analysis is well-founded and extremely sound.

Li Yuanqing also nodded slowly and remained silent.

The generals quickly regained their composure and focused their attention on Li Yuanqing.

After a long while, Li Yuanqing said slowly: "Xiaokong, in the current situation, it is difficult to expose flaws. I'm afraid it will be even harder to draw out the Tatars."

Kong Youde nodded deeply, "Commander, so in this matter, our army may only take extraordinary measures!"

"Go on!"

"Yes! Marshal..."

…………

The night was already getting dark, and fine snowflakes were floating in the sky. The ground under my feet was soon dyed white by the granular fine snowflakes.

The Ming army camp was already quiet, and most of the soldiers had gone to bed to rest. Except for the soldiers patrolling the night, there were only blazing bonfires and the whistling wind, swaying back and forth.

Li Yuanqing did not fall asleep at this time, but took Yang Lei and a few soldiers to stand on the subjective platform, looking at the Anshan Fort and the continuous ambush not far away.

Kong Youde's idea was to temporarily withdraw the Ming army, pull the battle line to the wilderness outside Anshan Fort, and attract the main force of the Later Jin army to come out by connecting strongholds. After the main force of the Hou Jin army was defeated, and then

Encirclement of Anshan Fort.

To a certain extent, this is actually a very feasible approach at this time.

With the military quality of the Changsheng Battalion and Chen Zhong's Ministry, there would not be many problems with retreat, including the nodes. Li Yuanqing was not a person who could not let go and refused to take a step back, but Kong Youde's thinking also had a fatal flaw.

It was difficult for the Jin army to give the Ming army such a long time to station and build fortifications.

Even if it was a confusion or an empty city strategy, it seemed feasible on the surface and he could still give it a try, but Li Yuanqing knew very well that if Huang Taiji really wanted to make a desperate move, he would be risking his life. This matter would not be worth the gain.

However, Kong Youde's bold idea also opened up Li Yuanqing's thinking.

Even though Li Yuanqing came from a later generation and had five hundred years of experience that surpassed this era, Li Yuanqing was very conservative and would never dare to be aggressive on this kind of battlefield that was not enough to form a completely overwhelming force.

The decisive battle with the Hou Jin Army was not actually about conquering the city, but about conquering Liaoyang and leaping into Shenyang.

The most important thing is to annihilate Huang Taiji's main force of Houjin.

Only by destroying the main force of the Eight Banners under Huang Taiji can this war be a real victory. Otherwise, it will only lead to endless troubles.

Therefore, Li Yuanqing could only 'stretch'.

Just like fishing.

This big fish that bites the hook must be tired from playing so that it has no strength, so that it can be pulled ashore more smoothly and it can truly become a delicious meal on the plate.

Instead of just pursuing this process, you will get nothing in the end...

After a moment, Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled: "Yang Lei, if you are Huang Taiji, if I attack tomorrow, what will you do?"

"Uh? This..."

Yang Lei was stunned for a moment, unable to keep up with Li Yuanqing's rhythm. After a moment, he hurriedly said: "Commander, at this time, the fortifications in front of our army have been basically filled in. It's not that we can't attack, but, it's just..."

"Just what?"

Li Yuanqing looked at Yang Lei with a smile and threw him a cigar.

Yang Lei hurriedly lit the cigar carefully, took a deep breath, coughed twice in succession with some excitement, and said hurriedly: "Commander, the time for a general attack is not mature enough now. I am afraid that Huang Taiji will be tricked..."

Yang Lei said and took a careful look at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing laughed loudly, "You are right. I will reward you with this box of cigars. Come on, let's go back and rest."

"Well....."

Yang Lei can't keep up with Li Yuanqing's rhythm at all.

It was already past midnight when we returned to the big tent.

Bumbutai was already like a kitten, hiding in the warm bed and falling asleep.

Su Mo'er was also like a little bird, sleeping soundly on the small camp bed nearby.

Looking at Su Mo'er's pretty face, Li Yuanqing wanted to fulfill his promise to Bumu Butai, but as soon as he walked in front of Su Mo'er, Li Yuanqing shook his head and laughed.

"Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal! Wouldn't it be more comfortable and wonderful to eat this delicious dessert after Huang Taiji is destroyed?"

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing didn't even go to Bumu Butai's slightly warm bed to enjoy the beauty's sweet warmth. Instead, he directly covered the soft bed with two animal skins and fell asleep.

Tomorrow will be a crucial battle, and he must maintain enough restraint and calmness!

…………

The sky will soon lighten up.

At this time, a layer of snow about one centimeter thick had accumulated on the ground, and it made a crunching sound when people stepped on it.

Moreover, although the snow has stopped this morning, the sky is still very gloomy and the wind is strong.

Based on Li Yuanqing's experience, it is no surprise that the snow will continue continuously and will definitely be heavier than last night.

Li Yuanqing came to the viewing platform, but none of the generals had arrived yet.

After drinking a bowl of hot salted fish soup, eating three meat patties and more than a pound of soy sauce beef, Li Yuanqing's whole body quickly began to function effectively.

Not long after, Chen Zhong, Duan Xiliang, Xu Heizi, Kong Youde, Shunzi generals, including Zhang Pan who had just arrived yesterday, and Chen Liangce generals all rushed over.

Last night, Li Yuanqing did not welcome Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce and their entourage, and there was no banquet in the evening.

This is also a new rule established by Li Yuanqing during this expedition. The generals in each department must first handle the affairs of the camp according to the deployment, and then talk about other matters.

They are all old brothers, so there is no need to say too much. After a brief exchange of greetings, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, Brother Chen, how did you sleep last night? Maybe you will join the war today?"

Chen Liangce laughed loudly: "Yuan Qing, brother, it's okay. The Tatars have been forced to do this by us, why should we give them the damn ink? Fuck him!"

Zhang Pan also said proudly: "Yuan Qing, Lao Chen and I spent most of the day on the road, but we are not tired. Today, we are completely ready to fight!"

Li Yuanqing laughed loudly: "That's good! Brother Zhang, Brother Chen, you came at the right time today. I'm going to launch a general attack on Anshan Fort!"

"General attack?"

"this……"

Everyone was in a daze, and some didn't understand Li Yuanqing's intention.

Even Chen Zhong was a little confused for a moment.

After a moment, they recovered from the shock and looked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled slightly, but in an instant he became solemn and said in a cold voice: "Raise troops for a thousand days, use them for a moment! Today, all the commanders and generals of each department will return to the headquarters camp, and they will be on standby at any time according to the camp sequence! Now, the execution begins!"

"Eh? Yes!"

Li Yuanqing has spoken, who dares to neglect him?

The generals soon left and rushed back to their respective headquarters.

Chen Zhong swallowed with some difficulty and whispered: "Yuan Qing, what are you trying to do?"

Li Yuanqing smiled slightly, threw a cigar to Chen Zhong, and lit one himself, "Brother, the art of war is about winning by surprise! At this time, our army has strong soldiers and horses, and delaying it any longer is not an option. Do you think we have these fortifications for our general attack now?

If you're blocking it, can Huang Taiji's cavalry come forward?"

"this……"

Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he understood what Li Yuanqing meant in an instant, "Yuan Qing, you mean..."

Li Yuanqing smiled coldly: "Brother, if there is no chance, then we will create our own chance! First, we must pull out the bridgehead fortifications under the city, and then we can kill the little miscellaneous fish like Abatai, Haoge, and Tanbai!"

Chen Zhong burst out laughing for a moment; "Yuan Qing, okay! Okay! I seem to see you again in Zhenjiang ten years ago!"

At this time, Li Yuanqing shook Chen Zhong's big hand and said, "Brother, if Hou Jin is destroyed, you, my brothers, and our descendants will share the wealth and glory!"

Chen Zhong nodded heavily, "Yuan Qing, don't worry! Today, I, Old Chen, will be a small soldier, the most qualified messenger!"

…………

At midnight, as the sky really brightened, the Ming army continued to attack the Jin army's outpost fortifications.

With Wang Hai, Niu Gensheng, and Huang Guoshan of the Changsheng Camp as the central army, and Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce as the supporting troops, there were 25,600 people, red and red, all over the mountains and plains. The drummers of the Ming Army

Amidst the fierce beating of drums, they vigorously approached the Hou Jin Army's outpost camp.
