After knowing that Huang Taiji had left Xifeng Pass, Zhu Heng organized a light cavalry team.
The total number of people was around 500 people, with 20 people in a team, a total of 25 teams.
Their main mission was to pass through the Greater Kaxing 'an Mountains and head to the Duoyan Three Guards.
That was to say, Duo Yan, Ning Tai, and Fuyu were the ones who were conducting intensive reconnaissance operations.
Once they discovered Huang Taiji's main forces, they would monitor them and send back information via messenger pigeons.
The powerful messenger pigeons allowed Zhu Heng to build a powerful aerial communication network.
The Sky Travelling Pigeon also had a seemingly unremarkable but extremely powerful core function.
Among these messenger pigeons, there were some special pigeons that Zhu Heng called the sky pigeons.
As long as there was a heavenly pigeon, it would be able to sense its presence within a range of 2,000 kilometers.
Therefore, the use of the heavenly pigeon was to locate the location, even if it was moving at any time.
The messenger pigeon could also find it through its connection with the pigeon.
This also meant that the message could be sent not only to a fixed location.
Even a moving army could use it.
Zhu Heng treasured these special pigeons provided by the system. They were all treasures.
This was a f * cking pigeon. It was simply a monster modified by the system.
After about five days, Zhu Heng finally received news from Duoyan's three guards.
These days, his strength had once again been further enhanced.
They added another three elite line infantry battalions, an elite cavalry regiment, and a garrison infantry regiment.
(Regiment or battalion composition of the check-in reward is random)
The three elite infantry battalions were organized into the third line infantry regiment.
This way, his main force would have three line infantry regiments, a total of ten elite line infantry battalions. (One regiment plus one battalion)
The two elite cavalry regiments had a total of nine cavalry battalions. The first regiment had five cavalry battalions, and the second regiment had four cavalry battalions.
These two cavalry regiments had three mounted artillery companies, a total of 60 6-pound field artillery.
The total number of soldiers in his hands had also broken through the 20,000 mark. He already had the capital to compete with Huang Taiji.
According to the information sent by the scouts and the information from the Ming Dynasty.
After Huang Taiji left, he split up.
He sent Big Baylor Daishan, Azik, Todor, and Haug as the main and deputy generals, leading ten thousand Jian Nu Cavalry and ten thousand Menggu Cavalry as the vanguard.
The target was Guangning City, the important town of Guangning Guard.
He would lead the rest of the cavalry and infantry, as well as a large number of plundered resources and people.
The purpose of this was to force Zhu Heng to shrink his troops to defend Guang Ning, so that he could not pose a threat to the territory of the Houjin.
The twenty thousand cavalrymen traveled day and night, and it took them five days to arrive at Daning City in the Ning Tai region.
After resting for a night, they headed to Guangning in a grandiose manner.
Meanwhile, Zhu Heng was already on guard.
After having sufficient troops, Zhu Heng decided to engage in a wild battle and defeat or even destroy Hou Jin's vanguard.
At first, he had considered setting up an ambush in the Tile Valley area.
But how could the general of the Later Jin Dynasty not think of such a good place to set up an ambush?
One had to know that this group of people were all battle-hardened and not brainless boors.
Therefore, he decided to fight head-on.
They would use the advantage of the information gap between the two sides to launch an ambush on the plains.
Hou Jin estimated that he only knew that he had a firearms force of three to four thousand people and a cavalry force of more than two thousand people.
The enemy must have known that this force had been exposed.
However, he had hidden the troops that he had increased these days very well, especially the cavalry.
Therefore, he decided to set up an array at the foot of Tile Valley.
With a heavy armored infantry battalion and the first line infantry regiment as the core, they formed a circular, hollow square formation at the foot of the mountain.
At the same time, 40 6-pound field cannons were placed in the formation for fire support.
This was the number of troops on the surface. The first infantry regiment was just bait to attract Hou Jin to attack.
The second line of infantry and heavy cavalry would hide in the valley and wait for orders to attack.
Within twenty minutes, they would be able to reach the battlefield.
The two cavalry regiments, totaling 4,000 cavalrymen, were arranged by him to hide near Yi County.
At the same time, he had also deployed a total of 12 12-pound field cannons and 12 24-pound field cannons on the mountain of Tile Valley.
The 32-pound field cannon was too heavy and not very mobile, making it difficult to retreat quickly.
Therefore, he was left in Guang Ning City and not brought out.
The artillery position in Wazi Valley was less than 500 meters away from the hollow square formation.
For the two types of cannons that had an effective shooting range of 1.5 kilometers, they could easily provide support.
The 40 6-pound field cannons and 24 12-pound and 24-pound field cannons were enough to make the cavalrymen suffer.
These 64 cannons were what he could rely on against the 20,000 Jin cavalry.
Hou Jin had no choice but to be on guard.
According to the intelligence, there were nearly twenty thousand Jian Slaves stationed in Liaozhong, Gaizhou, and Haizhou.
After Huang Taiji returned to defend, they would definitely be restless.
Therefore, he had arranged two garrison infantry regiments of six thousand men in the area around Mount Pan and Xiping Castle.
With their strength, it was more than enough to defend against twenty thousand Slaves.
The remaining third line infantry regiment was stationed in Guang Ning City.
This was Zhu Heng's military arrangement this time.
In order to deal with Huang Taiji, he had already prepared for a long time.
When Dai Shan led 20,000 cavalrymen over in a mighty manner.
He had also set up defenses in Tile Valley with great fanfare.
Such a commotion would definitely attract their attention.
