The information on the Ming army's attack on Daling River was placed on the table. Huang Taiji's face was gloomy. The information showed that the Ming army started attacking in the early morning of April 28th. Before Chenshi, they took down Songshan and began on April 29th to attack the strongholds outside Daling River City. However, the time Huang Taiji obtained this information was after the You hour of April 29th.

This means that the Ming army's attack was very sudden. After taking Songshan, Yuetuo and Kong Youde, who were stationed in Daling River City, were temporarily kept in the dark. Daling River City was four hundred miles away from Chenyang. According to the wartime requirements, the information would be sent to Chenyang in one day and one night. In other words, Huang Taiji would need to obtain information before the 29th April. According to the time calculation, this information would delay nearly one day.

After obtaining the information, Dai Shan, Ajige, Dorgon, Jirgalang, Fan Wencheng and others quickly gathered in the hall. The Ming army began to attack. They needed to make a decision. According to the previous plan, within two days, the Eight Banners Army could arrive at Dalinghe City and carry out rescue. The distance between Chenyang and Dalinghe City was all under the control of the Qing Dynasty.

The battle report ahead is not clear, but there are only two thousand soldiers stationed in Songshan. It is impossible to resist in the face of tens of thousands of troops. Even if it is very good, the main focus of the Qing Dynasty is still in Dalinghe City. Therefore, no matter how long the attack ends in this attack, it has no reference value.

The importance of rescue lies in time.

The Eight Banners Army had already been prepared, especially Dai Shan, who was stationed in Dalinghe City. After all, there were more than a thousand Eight Banners Army of Zhenghong Banners, and these were his subordinates. Besides, his eldest son Yue Tuo was also in Dalinghe City.

But the deployment of rescue is also very important. Since the Ming army launched an attack on Daling River, it will inevitably take into account all aspects. Therefore, how to rescue and how to grasp the time has become the most critical factor to win. Daling River City is only more than 40 miles away from Jinzhou City, and the army directly attacking Jinzhou City is also able to launch an attack within two days.

"Everyone, the Ming army has begun to attack Dalinghe City. After analyzing for so long, everything depends on facts. If you have any suggestions, I want to hear it. When the military situation is urgent, it is simple and clear."

"Your Majesty, I think that the effect of launching rescue immediately and rushing directly to Dalinghe City is not necessarily very good. The best way is to attack Jinzhou City. Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, at least it can completely disrupt the deployment of the Ming army. Su Tiancheng served as the Ji Liao army. This is the first battle and he must have done his best. There will not be many Ming army stationed in Jinzhou."

After encountering something, Dai Shan's thinking was very clear, and the truth he analyzed was good. Everyone agreed.

However, Huang Taiji has his own ideas.

"The second brother is right. My consideration is that the Ming army has just launched an attack and its momentum must be very strong. Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning Camp and achieved so many victories. Such a simple arrangement. It will not be ignored. If Jinzhou City has a large army to guard and the Eight Banners Army's attack encounter setbacks, wouldn't it be impossible to take care of both sides? The most unfavorable situation is that when the Ming army took over Dalinghe City, our Eight Banners Army was sandwiched within more than 40 miles of Dalinghe City to Jinzhou City. Will the Ming army stationed in Guanningjin have attacked more than a hundred and farther away?"

As soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, Ajige spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think this situation will not happen. The Ming army attacked Dalinghe City, relying on the city and favorable terrain of Dalinghe City, and it will not take a moment to take it down. Over the years, Dalinghe City has undergone several repairs and is indestructible. The Eight Banners Army who rescued the Eight Banners Army can safely attack Jinzhou City. If the Ming army returns to the rescue, the Han army stationed in Dalinghe City can take advantage of the situation to attack. In this way, the Ming army will definitely win a great victory."

Huang Taiji glared at Ajige.

"Twelfth brother, the worst plan is required to fight so that the best deployment can be made. The situation you mentioned does exist, but if the deployment is improper and the situation I mentioned occurs, what should I do?"

Ajige looked at everyone, lowered his head and stopped talking. No matter what, the miserable defeat in the ninth year of Chongzhen was still the biggest pain in his heart. Although Huang Taiji did not scold him too much, he must have a view.

Dorgon finally spoke.

Dorgon was recognized as a brave general in the Qing Dynasty. In terms of wisdom and courage in combat, except for Huang Taiji, he must be considered him. Whether in terms of command, deployment, or leading the charge, Dorgon was very powerful, and Huang Taiji was most at ease.

"Emperor, I think that rescue is like putting out a fire, and it must start as soon as possible. The Ming army attacked Dalinghe City in the early stages. In addition, Su Tiancheng did not arrive in Liaodong for a long time, so he must have wanted to win. In this case, the Eight Banners Army I rescued can avoid its edge. Please see, I think Songshan is the key."

Dorgon pointed to the map, and Huang Taiji's eyes lit up.

"I think that the measures to attack Jinzhou can be not implemented for the time being. Since Su Tiancheng decided to attack Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City must be closely guarded. If he directly attacks Jinzhou City, it may trigger a protracted war. In this case, our Eight Banners Army will be far away from its garrison and will have difficulties in supplying sources, and I am afraid it will fall into an unfavorable situation. Therefore, I think that occupying Songshan and cutting off the Ming army's food route is probably the best way."

Huang Taiji nodded frequently. The army led by Su Tiancheng had a population of more than 100,000, and the consumption was very large. The food supply must not be reduced. This is the lifeline of the army. Once this line is cut off, the Ming army will immediately be on the verge of collapse. The Dalinghe City was taken down by cutting off the supply of Dalinghe City.

Jirgalang also spoke.

Jiergalang was Nurhaci's nephew and Huang Taiji's cousin. He was adopted by Nurhaci and regarded as his own. When the Qing Dynasty was established, he was appointed Prince Heshuo Zheng and was one of the four princes. Jiergalang's life experience was very special. His father Shurhaci was Nurhaci's younger brother and was killed by Nurhaci. At that time, Jiergalang was already twelve years old. Strictly speaking, since Jiergalang and Nurhaci and Huang Taiji were close relatives and enemies, there was also a layer of hatred here. Jiergalang's brother Amin, because he was domineering and did not obey Huang Taiji, was captured and imprisoned by Huang Taiji.

Jiergalang was generous and cautious. He was highly praised by Nurhaci and Huang Taiji. He had a bad relationship with Amin, who was irritable. In terms of choice, Jiergalang decided to assist Huang Taiji with all his strength.

So his ending is completely different from Amin.

"The emperor, I think that Prince Rui's suggestion is feasible. It can curb the Ming army's food route and defend Songshan, which will give the Ming army a huge blow. This will avoid the Ming army's edge. Songshan is more than 20 miles away from Dalinghe City, making it easier to investigate the situation of Dalinghe River. The Eight Banners Army can grasp the situation at any time and make appropriate adjustments. Once the Ming army is found to have signs of collapse, it can launch an attack."

Huang Taiji's thinking has basically matured, but Fan Wencheng has not spoken yet.

When it comes to fighting the Ming army, Huang Taiji paid great attention to soliciting opinions from Han ministers, among which Fan Wencheng was the most critical minister.

Fan Wencheng also knew that he had to speak.

"Your Majesty, I think that the attack on Songshan is the most wisest and most effective measure. The Ming army launched a large-scale attack on Dalinghe City, and it was impossible to station too many troops in Songshan, nor could it leave behind elite troops. I think that the Ming army was divided into two parts: Jiangning Camp and the border army. Although Su Tiancheng unified the command, it was difficult to coordinate in a short period of time. In addition, the border army stationed at Guanning Jin defense line has been used to garrisoning cities for many years, not used to attacking and rashly launching attacks. There must be some omissions. Therefore, our Eight Banners Army stationed in Songshan can give the Ming army a huge threat. Although the Jiangning Camp is very famous, if it is dragged down by the border army, its combat effectiveness will be greatly damaged."

After Fan Wencheng spoke, Huang Taiji had to make a decision.

"You are very good. I have decided that my Eight Banners' children have already been waiting for the battle and are ready. The Ming army launched an attack on my Dalinghe City and must rush to help. Dalinghe City is crucial for our Qing Dynasty. It has been three years, and it is time for the Ming army to know its power. On the second day of May, the 100,000 Eight Banners' children rushed to Dalinghe City. The primary goal is to occupy Songshan, completely cut off the Ming army's food route, and then defend Songshan."

The hall was very quiet. No one would have thought that Huang Taiji sent out a 100,000 army, which was a big move. Now it is a time when food purchases are not in progress. It takes a lot of courage to decide to send a 100,000 army.

The rest is the question of who commands it.

"Prince Rui Dorgon is the commander of the army and has the right to be arbitrary. Humph, didn't Su Tiancheng send 150,000 Ming troops? I will send 130,000 troops to see what the final outcome is."

The coach has decided, and there are still some specific questions left, which are all explained separately.

For many years, the Qing Dynasty was trapped by the Guanningjin defense line and could not be extended. Liaodong's territory was limited and it was impossible to develop on a large scale. North Korea has surrendered. Even if the Eight Banners Army entered the pass, they had to think of the Ming army discovered by Guanningjin to prevent being attacked from being attacked from the front and back. This time, Huang Taiji sent 100,000 troops to reinforce. It has to be said that this time was not just reinforcement, but another decisive battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. If the main force of the Jiangning Camp could be wiped out and the Guanningjin defense line could be taken.
