There is a Hun River connecting the city of Liaodong to Sarhu. This line has become a battlefield for the battle between the Fu Liao army and the Eight Banners Army. Both sides have arranged more than tens of thousands of troops on this front. Currently, Chu Yun's Fifth Infantry Brigade, the Third Infantry Brigade, and the Artillery Brigade are partly arranged on this main front. Opposite are the Zhenglan Banner of Manguertai and the Infantry Blue Banner of Amin.

The Fuliao Army's garrison was near Fushun Pass. The pass was located on the commanding heights north of the Hunhe Valley, which opened the gate to Jianzhou Guard. Twenty miles away from Fushun Pass is Fushun City, which should be a good place to station troops. However, ten years ago, Nurhaci plundered more than 300,000 people and animals after conquering Fushun City. Before leaving, he set fire to burn Fushun City. Since then, Fushun City is still in ruins, with only a dozen families scattered.

Since they pursued a rotating combat plan, the Fu Liao army would attack the Eight Banners soldiers every few days, and once they succeeded, they would immediately retreat to Fushun Pass, which would make the Eight Banners soldiers bite their hatred, and they would be helpless. If they pursued the Fu Liao army who came to attack the sneak attack, they would easily be bombarded by the Fu Liao army at Fushun Pass. The distance of the shelling was very far. They found that the heavy armor of the soldiers under their command could no longer withstand the Fu Liao army's muskets, not to mention that the cost of heavy armor was very high, without armor, or there were more soldiers with light armor, and these soldiers were just targets in front of the flintlock muskets.

Therefore, the Eight Banners Army began to build forts in the Hunhe area, causing the formation of horns in important places such as Sarhu, Gulezhai, and Jilinya. No one knew when the gradually intensified conflict between the two sides would lead to a large-scale decisive battle.

Among the camps of the Fu Liao Army on the north side of the Hunhe River, the third battalion of the Fifth Infantry Brigade is still an infantry battalion composed mostly of new recruits. After this month's rotation, they had several small-scale battles with the Eight Banners soldiers, which can be regarded as having some combat experience.

"Recently, the Eight Banners Army seemed to be scared by us. They kept hiding in the fortress, or defending near Sarhu, and not fighting with us. If this continues, we will have no military achievements." He Yi, the battalion commander of the third battalion, staring at the nearby terrain map and said depressedly to the people under his command.

The nearby topographic map was carved by Chu Yun and then printed on wooden boards. Each officer had it so that they could observe the nearby terrain anytime, anywhere.

"Look at the first battalion next door. A few days ago, they sneaked into a grain transport team of the Eight Banners soldiers, beheaded a hundred levels, and intercepted a batch of food and grass. The army leader sent people to reward them. Look at us, the biggest battle was to attack an opponent's fortress, and killed dozens of people on the other side with artillery." He Yi said again.

The young officers present nodded. It is rare to regain the Liao army to gain the upper hand, but the Eight Banners Army is firm in the clear field, making them feel that their fists hit the cotton.

"Chen Xiaolian, you are the new military adviser and have always been flexible. Can you have any good ideas? You can lead the Eight Banners Army out, and then we beat them up." He Yi turned his eyes to Chen Xiaolian who was trained in the Army Martial Arts Hall.

"I have some ideas here, but it's too risky." Chen Xiaolian pointed along the north bank of the Hunhe River, "Look, now the Inlaid Blue Banner is defending near Sarhu, and the Zhenglan Banner is supporting it in Gule Village. It is estimated that the Eight Banner soldiers and logistics will be 20,000. There are more than a thousand people in our camp, and they will definitely not take us seriously."

"Look at this place, the Suzi River extends from the Hun River, and the two rivers form a triangle area. There is a fortress for the Eight Banners soldiers, with only one or two Niulu troops. If we surround this fortress, the Eight Banners Army will definitely send troops to rescue them, and then we can engage in field battles with the Eight Banners soldiers." Chen Xiaolian said, "This move is called a surround to attack and reinforcements. But if there are too many reinforcements from the other side, we may fall into a siege, and we may be cut off from our rear and annihilated all the troops."

"The intersection of Suzi River Valley and Hun River, the distance from our Fushun Pass here has exceeded the requirement of rotational warfare within thirty miles stipulated by the army leader. Moreover, the enemy reinforcements near the Blue Flag of Sarhu will arrive soon. If we cannot win, then it will be dangerous." He Yi and others hesitated.

"But for military merit, we don't seem to have any other better way to attract the opponent's troops. It is precisely because we have few people that the opponent will feel at ease to reinforce." Chen Xiaolian said, "We can march secretly at night, enter the Suzi Valley, shake the enemy, and then ask for help from the brigade commander and others. This battle will be transformed into a large-scale battle!"

"Hiss..." He Yi and others took a breath. Chen Xiaolian's idea was too bold. He wanted to treat the lives of more than a thousand soldiers in his battalion as battalion as bait, to lure all the Eight Banners troops nearby, and then let the large troops counter-encircle these Eight Banners troops.

As bait, they are very dangerous. If they are encircled by the Eight Banners Army, they will become cannon fodder. But this also means an opportunity. If they win this battle, their third battalion will become a hero in this decisive battle.

"As far as I see, our troops have advanced to Fushun Pass and Qinghebao two fronts, and it will be a matter of time before we launch a decisive battle. It is better to take the initiative to propose to the army leader that our infantry battalion will first break into the Suzi River Valley, and then advance to eliminate the forces of the two flags on this front, and open the passage to Fushun Pass to Hetuala." Chen Xiaolian said.

"Everyone, since we cannot get enough heads from our enemies, why not take the risk and bet on our own lives to provoke the battle against the Later Jin Dynasty?" Chen Xiaolian looked around everyone, his tone was a little excited, and his eyes showed madness.

"We've done this ticket!" He Yi and others couldn't resist the excitement. The party who provoked the decisive battle would definitely be famous in history, because it was worth it!

The report of the Third Battalion of the Fifth Infantry Brigade was reported to the brigade commander Chang Yi. Chang Yi couldn't help but be surprised after reading it. Then he reported the report to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun, who was in charge of Liaodong City, was deploying his army. In his map, three thick arrows were drawn with arrows. One of them was the area from Fushun to Sarhu, Gulezhai, and pointed directly from the west to Hetuala, the old nest of the Later Jin Dynasty.
