Lu Xiangsheng had already started preparing. After receiving Su Tiancheng's letter, he felt shocked and understood that what Su Tiancheng asked for was that he had to do well and do his best to do his best.

In the letter, Su Tiancheng clearly stated that the Later Jin Tartars stationed in Guangning were very likely to evacuate, break through the Liao River, and meet with Zhenglan Banner stationed in the north of the Liao River. The result of the battle in Xiping Fort would definitely prompt Jiergalang to make such a decision.

Due to the limitation of military force, Lu Xiangsheng did not surround the entire Guangning City. Besides, Guangning City covers a large area and a 60,000 army cannot completely surround Guangning City. This will allow the Later Jin Tartars in Guangning City to defeat each one. Therefore, the army is mainly stationed at the South Gate, which is the main passageway to enter and exit Guangning City.

According to Su Tiancheng's request, Lu Xiangsheng did not launch an attack. The place where the army was stationed was still close to ten miles away from Guangning City. This also allowed Jiergalang in Guangning City to know all the news from the outside world.

Su Tiancheng said it very clearly in the letter that Jiergalang had two directions to break through. The first was to break through the Liaohe River and strive to meet with the Zhenglan Banner stationed in the Liaohe River. The second was to break through the Yizhou direction, enter the grassland, and meet with the Khalkha tribe or the Han tribe. Among these two directions to break through, Su Tiancheng made it very sure that Jiergalang would definitely choose to break through from the Liaohe River.

The reason is also very simple. After entering the grassland, the climate is getting colder and colder, which is very unfavorable to the army's progress. Moreover, if the army wants to return to Shenyang, it is very far away. It is hard to say what losses will be on the way. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Jiergalang will choose to break through from Yizhou. In addition, Yizhou and Xiping Fort were occupied by the Liaodong Border Army and Jiangning Camp, but the Liaohe direction behind Guangning is still a blank area, Jiergalang has no choice.

The army set out half an hour after receiving the letter. This time, the direction the army was heading was Liaohe. They wanted to bypass Guangning City and stationed in the direction of Liaohe. Lu Xiangsheng made up his mind this time and must keep Jiergalang in Guangning. After the Jiangning Camp arrived, he annihilated this group of Later Jin Tartars.

Lu Xiangsheng's confidence was unprecedentedly high, and he did not expect it. However, in one day and one night, Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning Camp, took down Xiping Fort, and wiped out the 60,000 Later Jin Tartars stationed in Xiping Fort. Such fearful combat power was scared by anyone. Once Jiangning Camp came, Jiergalang could not escape even if he had wings.

Lu Xiangsheng also thought about how to arrange troops for a long time. In the end, he decided to divide the army into two groups. The first group had a total of 40,000 soldiers, led by him personally, and was at the forefront, responsible for directly blocking the Later Jin Tartars who broke through. The second group had 20,000 troops, commanded by Zu Dale. He was five miles away from the first group of troops, and was responsible for blocking the scattered Later Jin Tartars. As for the allocation of artillery, the first group of troops was used by one hundred and fifty and the second group of troops.

This is a very normal arrangement. The 60,000 troops cannot be gathered together, and there is no second line of defense. If it is broken through by the Later Jin Tartars, it will be completely finished.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiangsheng ignored a fact. That is, the combat effectiveness of the Later Jin Tartars was very tenacious and not weak at all. The Liaodong border army led by Lu Xiangsheng should place itself in a weak position and consider all aspects as much as possible. How to prevent the Later Jin Tartars from breaking through to the greatest extent.

Lu Xiangsheng could not consider this. After all, Lu Xiangsheng basically did not follow Su Tiancheng to fight and was not very proficient in how to defend modern warfare. In Lu Xiangsheng's view, blocking the Later Jin Tartars' breakthrough was nothing more than fighting head-on, killing the Later Jin Tartars who were about to escape.

Lu Xiangsheng did not expect to do a good job in defense fortifications. In fact, Jirgalang has done both in Guangning and Xipingbao. So many ditches and widened moats are the best explanation.

Su Tiancheng was also neglected in this regard and did not remind Lu Xiangsheng in the letter. So after receiving Lu Xiangsheng's letter, Su Tiancheng sighed to the sky, knowing that this decisive battle in Liaodong could not be concluded perfectly. Lu Xiangsheng set up a formation to fight against the Later Jin Tartars. Don't you know that what the Later Jin Tartars thought of breaking through the siege and crossing the Liao River as soon as possible, and how could they fight directly with you, unless there was something wrong with Jirgalang's head.

Lu Xiangsheng led the army to start the action, and everything was clearly controlled by Jirgalang.

In fact, Jiergalang was able to retreat quickly. If an order was issued immediately, the army could immediately withdraw from Guangning City and rush to Liaohe River without any obstruction. However, after careful consideration, Jiergalang did not do this, and he still had to fight with the Liaodong border troops. Time was too late. The Jiangning camp led by Su Tiancheng did not arrive so quickly. The army only faced the Liaodong border troops. Before evacuating Guangning, Jiergalang had to vent his anger and fight desperately. Only in this way can he not seem too cowardly.

Sony, Li Guohan and Wang Shixuan all understand Jiergalang's thoughts, but Jiergalang still handed over the main offensive task to Li Guohan. Li Guohan is nominally covering the retreat of the army. In fact, the key task is to attack the Liaodong border army, trying to disrupt the deployment of the Liaodong border army in the shortest time. Next, the army will all rush out and fight with the Liaodong border army.

Of course, we must grasp the degree here. Jiergalang knew very well that Su Tiancheng would definitely lead the Jiangning Camp, traveling day and night. If he was struggling by the Liaodong border army and could not escape, the Jiangning Camp would arrive, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fighting is gambling, and it is impossible to have no danger. Jirgalang knew this, so he made very cautious arrangements, and even Li Guohan and others did not understand the meaning of this.

How Lu Xiangsheng led the army to deploy is the most concerned issue of Jirgalang. He asked the scouts to keep a close eye on the whole process and report at any time that if Lu Xiangsheng adopted the practice of building solid fortifications, Jirgalang would no longer have any illusions and would order the army to start breaking through and evacuating immediately to prevent the Liaodong border army from building fortifications and causing huge casualties.

What made Jirgalang happy was that Lu Xiangsheng did not focus on building fortifications and divided the army into two parts. According to the scout's report, Lu Xiangsheng had no intention of building fortifications at all and was preparing to fight head-on with the army he led.

After investigating the situation clearly, Jirgalang finally made up his mind and no longer hesitated.

At the third hour of You, many officers gathered in the house. The army had made all preparations. These actions were very secret. The people living in the city had no idea that the army was about to evacuate.

The army was about to set off. At this time, Jirgalang decided to tell the truth so as not to panic when the battle was about to be war-free because officers at all levels were not clear about the battle.

"You all know the battle situation in Xipingbao. It is precisely because of this situation that we want to evacuate Guangning and preserve our strength for our Qing Dynasty. You must think that what I mean by evacuation is the meaning of retreat. If you understand this way, then you are wrong. My warriors of the Qing Dynasty have never been so cowardly."

"The Ming army outside the city has made arrangements and is ready to prevent us from evacuating. They are afraid that the mission is that we are already in panic and are determined to evacuate. Unfortunately, their ideas are wrong. Not to mention that the Liaodong border army outside the city, the Jiangning Camp, the warriors of our Qing Dynasty also have the courage to face it."

When Jirgalang said this, the room quickly became quiet. Everyone felt extraordinary from Jirgalang's words. It seemed that the arrangement of the army was not just a retreat.

"The reason we wanted to evacuate Guangning City was to prevent the two large troops of the Ming army from engaging, so our situation would be extremely dangerous. Therefore, evacuating Guangning City and rushing to the north of the Liaohe River to meet with Zhenglan Banner is our ultimate goal."

"As for how to evacuate, I have considered it. We are not evacuating, but a decisive battle with the Liaodong border army. We must show our momentum and completely defeat the Liaodong border army. Therefore, we left Guangning City with an offensive attitude."

After Jirgalang said this, the officers began to get upset, and Li Guohan was even more excited. He didn't expect that he was actually responsible for the mission of attack, and as the vanguard of attack.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm rise, Jirgalang quickly changed his tone.

"You all want to fight happily and completely defeat the Ming army. I can understand this feeling. To be honest, I think so too, but you must remember that our situation is very dangerous. This attack cannot be too long. If we are controlled within an hour, we will never be able to fight. Even if the Ming army is defeated, if we are dragged down by the Ming army and eventually suffer the destiny, we may be the one who will be destroyed."

"I want to remind you in particular. If anyone disobeys the military order, I will not show mercy."

"Okay, the specific combat deployment is as follows. Li Guohan led 20,000 soldiers of the Inlaid Blue Flag as a vanguard force to launch an attack first. No matter how difficult it is, he must break through the defense line of the Ming army and launch a face-to-face battle with the Ming army. You must remember that 20,000 soldiers will charge at the same time."

"Sony led the remaining 40,000 soldiers to launch a general attack when Li Guohan broke through the Ming army's defense line. We should move quickly. We don't have much time, so we will strive to give the Ming army a large amount of damage in the shortest time."

"This attack is when my Qing warriors show their abilities. I don't want to see anyone retreating. All the soldiers must work hard to charge, and the officers charge at the forefront."
