In order to strengthen the battlefield reconnaissance of Chenguantun Camp, the Air Force left a special speed vehicle.

Early in the morning, the Air Force lifted the car into the sky, of course, tied it with a cable.

Soon, the scholars on the speeding car blew the trumpet and issued a warning to the Ming soldiers on the ground.

When the horn sounded, Yan Yingyuan, Jie Yuancai and several scholars were gathering together for breakfast.

Hearing the horn, Yan Yingyuan and other scholars threw the iron lunch box in their hands towards the ground and rushed out of the bunker.

When I looked up again, I saw that the scholar on the speed vehicle was urging sign language to the ground to report Jiannu’s military situation.

Jie Yuancai translated: "Jiannu was heading south along the west bank of the canal, with about 100,000 troops, and the red cannons he carried were about 500."

"The number of camels returning to use cannons and tiger squat cannons is unknown."

“Because the camel is covered with Persian carpet.”

"The tiger squat cannon is also hidden in the side van or van."

After saying this, Jie Yuancai said again: "Brother Xuheng, this is not right. Didn't you say that Jiannu wouldn't come before, and if you came, you would definitely attack the east bank, but how do you walk on the west bank of the canal now?"

"This is just a plan to attack the east and attack the west." Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "Oh no, it should be a plan to attack the west and attack the east. The gun platform attacking the west coast is fake, and the real attack on the east coast is."

Jie Yuancai didn't believe it and said, "How can I see it?"

Yan Yingyuan smiled and continued, "Look."

At noon, Jiannu entered about 1,500 steps west of Chenguantun.

As of today, there have been dozens of battles between Jiannu and the Ming army, and they have a very clear understanding of the performance of various types of firearms in the Ming army, so they are only a thousand,500 steps away.

Because the range of the Ming army's 4-inch field cannon is almost 1,500 steps.

So when you approach further, you will be killed and injured by the Ming army's 4-inch field artillery.

But unfortunately, the range of the Jiannu Red Yi cannon is only 1,200 steps.

This is the performance advantage generated by Chongzhen's sacrifice of half of his production capacity for standardization.

The number of skilled blacksmiths in the Ming Dynasty was obviously larger, but the production capacity of both flintlock rifles and red cannons was not as good as that of Jiannu, because Chongzhen always insisted on implementing standardization.

But standardization also brings about the performance of firearms.

For the same specification of the Red Cannon, Jiannu's range is nearly 300 steps.

So at this distance, Jiannu's artillery could not cause any damage to the Ming army.

So Jiannu had to wait until it got dark before approaching and launching a shelling attack.

In this case, the Jiannu artillery has at least a numerical advantage. Even if they destroy each other, the first thing they are destroyed is the Ming army's 4-inch field cannon, rather than the Jiannu's red cannon.

However, Jiannu did not wait, but began to dig trenches on the spot.

Judging from this posture, it seems like you are going to dig another canal to the west of Chenguantun.

Jie Yuancai began to worry: "Brother Xuheng, should Jiannu want to dig another canal west of Chenguantun and connect the canals at the north and south ends, so that he can bypass Chenguantun."

After a moment of saliva, he continued: "This time, our army's logistics supply line was cut off."

"Brother Xingdou, you're too worried." Yan Yingyuan shook his head and said, "How big is the project to dig the canal? How can you hesitate? Jiannu is just a bluff. Look, after nightfall, he will definitely attack the East Coast gun platform."

"In addition, in order to cooperate with Jiannu, the soldiers on the east coast continued to transport lime to the gun platform on the west coast."

"I hope." Jie Yuancai was still a little worried, "I hope Brother Yingheng, your judgment is correct."

Yan Yingyuan said: "It is impossible for Jiannu to attack before dark, so let the soldiers hurry up and rest."

After pausing, Yan Yingyuan said with a serious look on his face: "I guess there will be a fierce battle tonight."

Yan Yingyuan actually said something that he hadn't said. The intensity of this fierce battle tonight would be beyond imagination.

...

Yan Yingyuan's judgment was correct, and this was indeed Hong Chengchou's plan to attack the east from the west.

On the surface, the Qing army seemed to be attacking the gunstations on the west bank of the canal, but this was actually just an illusion. Hong Chengchou's real target was more than 50 gunstations on the east bank of the canal.

Hong Chengchou even chose the troops for tonight's battle.

The troops selected by Hong Chengchou were Wang Fuchen's Datong Town.

The integration and adaptation of the Eight Banners Han Army, Lu, Wu Sangui, Jiang Xiang and other surrendered troops on this world line have become beyond recognition from another world. In this world, the Guanning Army and Jiang Xiang's Datong surrendered troops have all been incorporated into the Eight Banners Han Army. Wu Sangui has now been kicked to Shanhaiguan and guarded the city with Jian Yong.

Jiang Xiang was also kicked to Yanzhou Prefecture, and he could only lead the Yanzhou Prefecture Lian Yong.

However, all the powerful generals like Wang Fuchen, Xia Longshan, Wu Guogui were incorporated into the Eight Banners Han Army.

Wang Fuchen's Eight Banners Han Army in the town was a veteran of the border army in Datong Town, and his combat effectiveness was very strong, at least he could fight in the border town of Daming.

"Wang Fuchen, you can raise any difficulties."

Hong Chengchou said: "But after dark, your Datong Town must take down the East Coast gun platform at all costs. If you can't take it down, you Wang Fuchen will come to see you!"

Wang Fuchen knew very well that this fierce battle could not be avoided, so he immediately said, "The last general has only one request, and I hope the master of the ministry will definitely do it."

Hong Chengchou replied: "But it's okay."

Wang Fuchen said: "After night, before our Datong Town launches an attack, let the Eight Banners and Mongolia clear the Ming army scouts on the east bank of the canal in advance and all the hidden troops. In short, before our Datong Town approaches the Ming army's gun platform, the Ming army cannot be discovered in advance, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it."

"Yes." Hong Chengchou agreed solemnly, "This is no problem."

"Thank you, Lord Master of the Ministry." Wang Fuchen turned around and left.

Hong Chengchou also ordered the military officer to send more wine and meat to Datong Town.

Seeing Wang Fuchen go away, Hong Chengchou is still a little worried.

Hou Fangyu comforted him: "Hongbutang, your plan to attack the east of the west has already worked. The Ming army is transporting supplies from the east-shore gun platform to the west, and even the troops are gathering towards the west-shore gun platform."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the gun platform on the east side should be empty."

"At least, the defense has been much weaker than before."

He paused and said, "So there is nothing to worry about."

"How could it be an illusion?" Hong Chengchou was still a little worried.

"We can attack the east by saying that we can also use our plans."

Hou Fangyu stopped saying a word, but his face didn't look very good.

Obviously, Hong Chengchou's robbery made Hou Fangyu feel a little unhappy.

...

Yan Yingyuan slept beautifully and was not awakened by Jie Yuan until dusk.

Jie Yuan didn't sleep at all in the afternoon, but kept patrolling the West Bank gun platforms.

"Brother Xingdou, you don't seem to be sleeping?" Yan Yingyuan said, "You can't do this."

"It's okay, I can hold on." Jie Yuancai waved his hand and said, "It's the Jiannu army on the west bank of the canal that has been digging trenches, but there is no movement on the east bank. Brother Yingheng, you won't make a mistake, right?"

"No." Yan Yingyuan said decisively, "The quieter the east bank, the more dangerous it is."

Seeing Yuancai was still worried, Yan Yingyuan finally explained: "Brother Xingdou, you might as well think about it. If Jiannu's target was the gun platform on the west bank of the canal, and he worked hard to finally regain the gun platform on the west bank of the canal, and then our army's main force returned to the aid, what would be the situation at that time?"

Jie Yuancai was stunned for a moment and said, "It's just a situation where he is attacked from both sides."

"It is a taboo for military strategists to be attacked from both sides. Unless Hong Chengchou is an idiot, this is not a bad move."

Yan Yingyuan waved his hand and asked again: "So is Hong Chengchou an idiot? Obviously not, so I predict that Hong Chengchou's real target is the gun platform on the east coast, let's see."

Jie Yuancai was relieved.

While the two were talking, a scout cavalry reported that Jiannu Ye, who was on the west bank of the canal, had already launched a large attack, and many of the Fulu troops had been hunted.

Jie Yuancai's heart immediately rose up again.

However, Yan Yingyuan became more confident in his judgment.

"Brother Xingdou, don't worry, this is just Jiannu's trick."

Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "Next, it will be the night of Jiannu on the east bank." Lan

As soon as he finished speaking, another scout cavalry came back to report that a large number of Jiannu were found on the east bank of the canal.

"Brother Xingdou, how about it?" Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "I will order the scout cavalry and the Fulu Army to withdraw all of them. There is no need to bother with Jiannu Ye because there is no need for this."

Soon, the Ming army's scout cavalry and the Fulu army withdrew to the camp.

Jiannu's night time was not taken into consideration and completely controlled the wilderness outside Chenguantun Daying.

...

When Wang Fuchen received the news, he immediately led his army to touch it while it was dark.

The journey was very smooth. He neither encountered the Ming army's scout cavalry nor the Ming army's fulu army. It was not until the Eight Banners Han Army of Datong Town approached the outer gun platform within a hundred steps. The Ming army did not notice the abnormality.

Wang Fuchen was secretly happy. It seemed that Hong Chengchou's sing of the sound of the west and the east was very successful.

The Ming army's attention was completely attracted to the west coast, and the defense on the east coast was extremely relaxed.

Soon, Wang Fuchen, wearing heavy armor, was the first to touch the slope protection. Across the trench about fifty steps across the width of the trench was the front guard wall of the first level gun platform.

Several torches were inserted into the guardrail.

A few whistlemen were stalked in the not-so-bright fire.

These whistlemen were very relaxed and were even too lazy to look at the east coast.

Wang Fuchen sneered silently, and waved his hand again, and a team of elite soldiers went down the hemp rope to the trench. This team of elite soldiers was specifically responsible for cleaning the caltrops at the bottom of the trench.

Just clear out several paths and launch an attack.

The Ming army whistlemen on the guard wall were still not alert at all.

The elite soldiers who went down to the trench quickly cleared out several passages that were several steps wide.

Wang Fuchen turned around and waved his hand, and ladders were placed on the edge of the trench, and then teams of the Eight Banners Han Army went down the ladder to the trench.
