At the foot of the mountain, four to five hundred Jianlu had already assembled and formed a tight square formation. Jianlu, who had climbed up the mountain, stretched his bow and arrows, and began to take aim, preparing to meet the enemy.

However, those who surrounded them on both sides were all tall horses, equipped with armor, five horsemen side by side, and a long lance resting on the horse, like five poisonous thorns sticking out. The speed is getting faster and faster, the ground is shaking, and the force of rushing forward is like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, killing people if they block it, and killing Buddhas if they block it!

Those assembled Jianlu were indeed elite, and they immediately began to form formations as soon as they encountered an enemy situation. But they are also human beings. When they see the heavy armored cavalry charging towards them, and there are no obstacles to stop the heavy armored cavalry from charging, so what if they form a formation? Suddenly, these Jianlu panicked.

Jierhalang, who was in the distance, looked ahead in surprise. At this time, he had already seen clearly that the Ming cavalry at the front was a heavy armored cavalry. There were about fifty people on each side, and about a hundred riders. Just from this discovery, he knew that the army under Tushan was doomed. In this kind of terrain, once the armored heavy cavalry is allowed to charge, nothing can stop it.

That's not all. On the top of Gaizhou City, on the section of the city wall facing Tushan, I don't know when a large number of archers have gathered. With the sound of bowstrings "bang bang bang", a dense rain of arrows rose into the sky. , forming a parabola, falling towards the earth mountain, and even part of it crossed the earth mountain and fell behind the earth mountain.

If the construction of the earth mountain is completed, there will be anti-arrow measures to protect the archers on the earth mountain. However, the construction has not been completed yet, so naturally there are not many defensive measures; not to mention that at this time, everyone's attention is being distracted by two people. Attracted by the cavalry galloping from the side, Jianlu, who was unprepared, was immediately covered by the rain of arrows. With the sound of arrows falling to the ground, Jianlu fell immediately, including those already behind Tushan. The assembled phalanx.

Inevitably, commotion appeared up and down the mountain. Before they could react, two more rounds of arrows flew out. Instinctively, Jianlu immediately thought of dealing with the deadly rain of arrows.

At this moment, the heavy armored cavalry rushed in.

The hastily shot arrows hit the armored cavalry, but were of no use at all. They either hung there, or were simply bounced away, without affecting the charge of the armored cavalry at all.

The densely arranged spears and spears, with the impact of the heavy armored cavalry, were like a papery ground, and were suddenly overwhelmed by the heavy armored cavalry.

The heavy armored cavalry on both sides, one after the other, penetrated the small phalanx. After the heavy cavalry, the tight phalanx could no longer be seen, only corpses lying on the ground. The Jianlu who were lucky enough to survive were scattered in several corners of the original phalanx. While they were still in shock, the Ming army's light cavalry came towards them and brought another wave of harvest.

It was just a charge duel, and almost all the four to five hundred prisoners at the foot of Tushan were killed.

When Jierhalang saw the Ming army's armored cavalry, he knew that the phalanx at the foot of Tushan was probably useless. However, he thought that with the elite of the Qing army and the white-armored soldiers of Tushan, reinforcements could always arrive.

But he didn't expect that the Ming army seemed to have planned to seize Tushan. Not only did they attack from both sides, but they also had support on top of the city. They actually killed a large number of Qing soldiers at once. In just one round, not only all the soldiers at the foot of Tushan were spared, but even the white-armored soldiers on Tushan suffered many casualties in their panic.

This scene was also seen by Huang Taiji, who ran out of the camp after hearing the news. He couldn't help but turned pale and exclaimed: "How can there be heavy armored cavalry?"

Everyone knows that in a field battle, as long as it is used properly, the armored heavy cavalry can be a powerful weapon in charging into battle. However, building armored heavy cavalry is not that easy. It consumes a lot of financial and material resources, and the selection of personnel and horses is also critical. Generally speaking, only the most elite armies with sufficient financial resources can build heavy armored cavalry.

The Ming army has always been focused on defense. Why does it need such a heavy armored cavalry that consumes financial resources? Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry army does have it, but it seems to be only a little bit. For the Dongjiang Army, an army that often harasses Liaodong, it is not unusual to have a little bit. But there are also Ming troops in Gaizhou City, which is really unexpected.

After being shocked, Huang Taiji had no time to think too much. He saw the Ming army coming out of the city and starting to plunder Tushan. The infantry assembled for defense in front of Tushan, while the cavalry moved on both sides, protecting the two wings of the infantry, and some of them. The infantry are attacking Tushan from their backs.

As for the Qing army, a cavalry army was almost arriving at Tushan. But the Ming infantry on the opposite side had almost completed their assembly. The speed of the assembly surprised even Huang Taiji. There is only one thought in my mind: elites, these are definitely the elites of the Ming army. It is absolutely impossible for the old rival Guan Ningjun to complete the assembly so quickly!

If you don't use heavy armor and cavalry to attack the assembled infantry position, that is no different than seeking death. The Qing army also realized this, and when they got closer, they dismounted and began to gather to prepare for foot combat.

Behind this Qing army, another army was also rushing. As long as this army arrives, its numbers will surpass the Ming army.

Huang Taiji just glanced at the battlefield and immediately began to issue orders, mobilizing troops to attack the two city gates respectively. It would be best if they could capture them. If they could not capture them, they would cut off the retreat route of the Ming army outside the city.

After doing this, he turned his head and looked at the Mongols. It was found that the Mongolian tribes were also gathering troops, but at a very slow pace, and they were even gathering those who had fled back.

These Mongols are far inferior to the Qing army in terms of military discipline, and it is unrealistic for them to be assembled and completed at once. But Huang Taiji discovered from the clues they gathered that they were deliberately delaying.

"Pass the decree, a good opportunity has appeared. The Mongolian tribes have completed their gathering in the three-way drum to attack. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law!" Huang Taiji became ruthless and asked his guards to go immediately to deliver the order.

The Ming army's departure from the city is a great opportunity to annihilate them. If the opportunity is missed, human lives will be used to fill the city wall. This opportunity must be seized.

Drums beat and shouts of death resounded in the mountains. On the side of Tushan facing the Jianlu camp, more than a thousand infantry of the Ming army were assembled and ready.

Opposite them, the Jianlu headquarters army has almost completed its assembly. They did not have time to wait until all the assembly was completed, and began to advance under the command of the frontline generals. Otherwise, once Tushan is captured by the Ming army, it will be difficult to take it back!

A Jianlu cavalry army has arrived, guarding both sides of the infantry formation, waiting for an opportunity to move forward and capture the fighter.

Outside Gaizhou City, the original calm was broken in more than a quarter of an hour. The army gathered, the Jianlu army pressed forward, the Mongolian army moved forward slowly, and the next round of war was about to break out.

I'll try to get two chapters tonight, and I'll pay off today's first.
