Chapter 1165: Bitter Ridge Pass

Compared with the south where most places belong to the plain area, Kuling Pass is indeed a rare area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The rolling hillsides form a natural barrier. Ten effects.

Kuling Pass is only about a hundred miles away from Guangdezhou City. Relying on this barrier, the city can be well protected. However, for many years, Guangde Prefecture has not had much status in the territory of Nanzhili, and it has not attracted enough attention from above. Therefore, no one cares about Kuling Pass, which is regarded as a natural barrier. On the contrary, the people of Guangde Prefecture believe that this face-lifting hillside blocks business transactions and makes it inconvenient for them to travel.

Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong did not forget this place. They deployed [-] soldiers at Kuling Pass to guard Guangde Prefecture. The remaining [-] soldiers were stationed not far from Guangde City. Once Kuling Pass appeared The enemy situation, they can send troops to reinforce, also can let the sergeant enter the state city to guard.

From Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong's point of view, Guangde Prefecture is the least likely place to encounter an attack, and the reason is very good. Guangde Prefecture has a small territory and is not a rich area, and it has the barrier of Kuling Pass. As far as Huizhou Prefecture and Ningguo Prefecture are concerned, even if they fall, it is impossible to cause a great impact.

It's just that Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong dare not neglect that Guangde Prefecture is next to Yingtian Mansion and is also the closest place to Yingtian Mansion. If Su Tiancheng's idea is to directly attack Nanjing, it is not surprising that he chooses to attack Guangde Prefecture first. Decided.

Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong would never have imagined that the reason why Su Tiancheng attacked Guangde Prefecture first was to cut off the more than [-] troops under their command, so that the army could not take care of both ends and make the best preparations for the next annihilation battle. preparation.

If you really understand Su Tiancheng's opportunity.Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong will definitely turn pale and tremble. How much courage is needed to make such a decision.

The scouts had already investigated the situation at Kuling Pass.

During the half-day rest in Anji Prefecture, Su Tiancheng carefully looked at the map of Kuling Pass again. In fact, this so-called Kuling Pass.It is not at the same level as the Guanning Jin defense line in Liaodong. The Guanning Jin defense line is mainly composed of several important towns such as Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City, Ningyuan City and Shanhaiguan. Far stronger than the natural barrier, so the Jin Tartars used to be uncommonly brave, but when facing the Guan Ningjin line of defense, they were helpless. [

Kuling Pass has never been taken seriously, perhaps because it is in Guangde Prefecture.However, in peacetime, it is impossible for this place to be valued. It is located in the interior and does not need to strengthen defenses. Moreover, the status of Nanzhili is different.

What reassures Su Tiancheng is that both Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong made a fatal mistake. They think that Kuling Pass is very steep, and they only need to deploy a small number of soldiers.It can resist the invasion of the army, so they did not urge the sergeants to build as many fortifications as possible at Kuling Pass.It is used to prevent the army from attacking, but unfortunately, this fatal mistake has no chance to be sealed.

The distribution of the 8000 soldiers of the Ming army is also very uneven, and it can even be regarded as blind. Nearly 2000 people are stationed at the main pass of Kuling Pass, and there are more than two others.Scattered around Kuling Pass, if they really encountered a fight, these [-] people would be cannon fodder, and they would have little chance of escaping.

The time given by Su Tiancheng to win Kuling Pass was half a day.

Superficially.Su Tiancheng seemed too confident, or arrogant, but after careful analysis, it can be found that Su Tiancheng was seeking truth from facts, and the battle to win Kuling Pass was definitely not a battle to siege a city. It belongs to one of the battles in the wild, but the way of fighting is different. For the Jiangning Battalion, which has the advantage of artillery, just using artillery can inflict great damage on the Ming army guarding Kuling Pass, and even make the opponent less powerful. Chance to fight back.After the artillery attack, the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion took advantage of the situation and rushed up to take Kuling Pass as quickly as possible.

Su Tiancheng and the others analyzed this "possibility", and believed that the battle mode must be this way.

This time it was Li Dingguo who was in charge of the main attack.

Li Dingguo took on the task of leading the vanguard to fight alone for the first time. He was very excited and excited, and this was the first battle to attack Nanzhili.

The vanguard in charge of the attack was [-] soldiers under Li Dingguo's command. Among the [-] soldiers, there was a new [-] soldiers who were Liu Zeqing's former subordinates.

Li Dingguo led the leading troops and walked in the front, followed by the artillery battalion. In order not to waste time, Li Dingguo even ordered the soldiers to help the artillery battalion to speed up the march and transport artillery equipment.

Li Dingguo has long understood the importance of artillery and admired Su Tiancheng's wisdom so much that he believed that as long as he fights with Su Tiancheng, no matter how bad the situation is, he will be able to fight. It will be a matter of time before Su Tiancheng can win the final victory and become the emperor.As for the former adoptive father Zhang Xianzhong, apart from occasionally appearing in his mind, what he recalls is all the bits and pieces of life, and he doesn't have much impression of others.

Li Dingguo was also distressed, thinking that he had almost forgotten his adoptive father, whether he was unfaithful or unfilial, but when chatting with Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, the slightly older Liu Wenxiu severely reprimanded Li Dingguo, saying that his adoptive father was Some of the measures taken now seem to be completely wrong, such as the reckless killing, how much damage has been caused, look at the Jiangning camp today, look at what His Royal Highness De Wang has done, where can it be compared, just like De His Highness Wang has such a benevolent and tolerant saint. How can there be such a saint in this world? If he still thinks of his righteous father and compares His Highness King De with his righteous father, it will be a sin.

Less than [-] miles into Guangde Prefecture is the location of Kuling Pass.

Li Dingguo hurried to Su Tiancheng's side on horseback.

Su Tiancheng, Lu Xiangsheng, Qu Qingze and others were looking at the map spread out on the ground.Seeing Li Dingguo coming, Su Tiancheng spoke directly. [

"Li Dingguo, after taking down Kuling Pass, what actions are you going to take with the army?"

I thought that Su Tiancheng was going to ask how to attack Kuling Pass, and Li Dingguo quickly made preparations along the way, not just to show his determination, how to attack is a matter that has been determined for a long time, unexpectedly Su Tiancheng suddenly asked this question , caught him a little off guard, and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

"All subordinates follow His Highness's arrangement."

"Li Dingguo, I don't want to talk about how to attack Kuling Pass. The deployment has already been implemented. I am not here to discuss how to attack Kuling Pass, nor to ask you to express your determination. I just want to remind you. You, Kuling Pass is the barrier of Guangde Prefecture. Once there is danger at Kuling Pass, Guangde City, a hundred miles away, will definitely take action. Therefore, in this battle, we must consider another aspect. A "possibility" exists."

"Now I have made the following adjustments. The number of soldiers attacking Kuling Pass has increased to 2. All of them are elite cavalry from the Jiangning Battalion. Each is equipped with two horses. You are still in command. After taking Kuling Pass, Don't clean up the battlefield, don't care about the surrendered Ming army, and don't be afraid to go to the artillery battalion, lead the soldiers of the leading troops, and go straight to Guangdezhou City at the fastest speed. The Ming army is stationed outside the city, as long as you are fast enough Quickly, you will be able to bite them so that they cannot all enter the city, as long as you can bite the Ming army, it will be considered the greatest victory in attacking Guangde Prefecture."

Li Dingguo's face turned red all of a sudden, and his blood rushed up. He never imagined that he would command 2 people to fight. This is completely different from the scale set before, and all of them are cavalry. The speed is very fast Yes, from Kuling Pass to Guangdezhou City, the elite cavalry of the Jiangning Battalion, each with two horses, can rush to the outside of Guangdezhou City in at most an hour or so, catching the Ming army stationed outside Guangdezhou City off guard.

"Your Highness, my subordinates must complete the task and bite the Ming army outside Guangde City."

"Very good, but you must also remember that you should not force it. This is a temporary task added after discussions between Lord Lu, Lord Qu and me. It will be difficult to complete. Even if it cannot be completed, the army will rush to Guangde Prefecture The city is also a victory."

When the passionate Li Dingguo was about to return to the location of the vanguard, Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi found him.

There was a look of envy in the eyes of the two of them. Liu Wenxiu was the boss among the brothers. He looked at Li Dingguo and spoke seriously.

"Dingguo, your responsibility is important. Don't disappoint His Highness's expectations. We will wait for your good news."

Li Dingguo didn't say anything, he cupped his fists to salute Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi.

On the way back, Li Dingguo found that the army had begun to mobilize, and a steady stream of cavalry was thinking about moving forward. These were the sergeants he was about to command.

Li Dingguo, who gradually calmed down, began to think about tactical arrangements. The rules of the Jiangning Battalion are very clear. Su Tiancheng and others will only arrange the overall arrangement of the battle. How the battle will be carried out is the commander's business, but the final task It must be completed, and it is precisely because of this habit that an idea popped up in Li Dingguo's mind, he must be surprised, and only in this way can it be possible to complete the task assigned by Su Tiancheng.

Thinking of the upcoming battle, Li Dingguo couldn't restrain his excitement. He rushed towards the vanguard station in a gust of wind. The attack was about to start. There was not much time left for him to deploy. If he wanted to implement his ideas, he had to let The military officers at all levels knew that they would carry out their orders to the letter at that time. (to be continued..)
