"First shot, fire." The mortars of the Ming army were deployed a few meters behind the trench, and a long line of mortars fired, and immediately blossomed everywhere in front of the formation.The corpses of Jin Bing were constantly blown up to the sky.

It seemed that it was only eighty steps away, but it was covered with corpses of Jin Bing.Finally, when they got very close, the Ming army's grenades flew over like raindrops again.Relying solely on infantry, they simply cannot cover the distance of dozens of steps.

"Send cavalry to charge from both wings." Dorgon observed the situation on the battlefield with a telescope, and he found that the number of Ming troops was not large, only about half of the Jin soldiers.

Generally speaking, the strength of the two wings is obviously less than that of the front, and the Ming army cannons on the front have already fired, and the infantry cannot rush through. Now let the cavalry charge from the front, which will cause more casualties, and it is better to charge from the two wings.

Dorgon regarded the mortars of the Ming army as the cannons of the Ming army, because the lethality of the mortars of the Ming army has surpassed the cannons installed by the Jin soldiers.During the period, several distant cannons of the Ming army would hit the rear of the Jin soldiers, and they still used flowering ammunition.

"Kill!" There was a sound of rumbling horseshoes, and the cavalry of the golden soldiers rushed out from both wings at the same time.Judging from their clothes, these are the two main Eight Banners, the Xianghuang Banner and the Xiangbai Banner. The cotton armor on their bodies and the lightning rod on their helmets are too obvious.

"Fire the cannon..." This time, the cannons placed on the two wings of the Ming army finally took off their green coats, and the black muzzles revealed a ferocious appearance.

"How did you pull hundreds of cannons here from outside Jinzhou City?" Zhu Youjian asked in surprise, looking at the densely packed cannons on both wings.

"It was pulled directly from the Daling River!" Li Dingguo replied calmly.

"Sun Dingliao didn't stop him?" Zhu Youjian was stunned.

"Why did he stop him? He's just a theatergoer now, whoever wins will go with him!"

"I really dare not use such a person in the future." Zhu Youjian frowned.

"Then let them learn to sing. The Liaodong Errenzhuan is very interesting. During the Chinese New Year, we will perform for everyone and create excitement."

"Boom boom boom..." There were explosions on the two wings one by one, and the cavalry of the golden soldiers turned on their backs, mixed with the neighing of the horses.In addition to machine guns, cavalry are even more scumbags in front of grenades.

As long as the problem of explosive bombs is solved and enough cannons are placed, all crowd tactics will not work.

"Quickly, let the cavalry withdraw."

Dorgon's heart was bleeding, and his voice was crying.

He has long heard that the cannons of the Ming army are powerful, and there is also a big rocket with a long tail that can explode.However, when the artillery fire hit the head of the elite he relied on most, the situation on the scene still made him feel surprised and painful.

Thanks to Dorgon's quick withdrawal, otherwise Jin Bing's loss would have been too great.How about the next thing?

Dorgon is not Zeng Gelinqin, and he doesn't have to take orders from anyone, and he doesn't have to be responsible to anyone for the time being, he can immediately decide to retreat.

The small Raoyang River was only delayed for half a cup of tea. The artillery fire of the Ming army smashed the Jin army to death on the way to the charge. They didn't care about the heroism of these Eight Banners, just like so many heroic Ming soldiers back then. The generals move forward bravely.

It's getting late, and the two armies set up their own camps and can only wait for dawn to fight again. Field warfare is not the main theme of this era.Especially the Jin army, they need to retreat five miles to camp out of the range of artillery fire.

Zhu Youjian sat quietly outside the tent. The end of summer and the beginning of autumn are the best seasons of the year in Liaodong. Whenever "chickens roost in the nest, the sun is evening", the sky is filled with fireflies, which is very similar to The Milky Way in the sky.Especially in this place where there are aquatic plants inhabiting, their light shines.

War has nothing to do with fireflies. They don't shut down between camps because of the distinction between people and enemies, and the space between heaven and earth doesn't just belong to humans.

Zhu Youjian found that Li Dingguo really didn't like to talk, and every time he, the emperor, forced Li Dingguo to talk, it seemed that he was a little clumsy.

The smart Li Dingguo was dispatching troops and generals at night, but Zhu Youjian didn't ask. He didn't care about this aspect. Anyway, Zhu Youjian didn't worry about the internal problems of Ming Dynasty for the time being.

The camp of the Ming army was lively and busy all night. During the day, all the combat troops were resting. However, horse-drawn carriages were constantly driving into the camp from a distance behind the camp. It seemed that there was some big movement.

By the time of the fourth watch, the entire camp was already filled with smoke. This was the firehead army preparing to light a fire for cooking, and the two armies had breakfast at about the same time.The difference is that the camp of the Ming army is full of voices as soon as the incense burns, while the camp of the Jin army is still only busy with the fire-headed army.

Zhu Youjian didn't sleep for long. Before the war, people's spirits are high and they can't sleep well, especially those who have killed people on the battlefield.Killing itself is a test of mental quality.

"Your Majesty, this is today's breakfast." Ji Biao brought in a tray himself. On the tray was an oiled paper bag and an enamel bowl filled with boiling water.

Zhu Youjian opened the oil-paper package and took a look. It was instant noodles produced by Nanjing Food Factory according to the secret recipe he provided and a large mixture of lard and butter sprinkled with salt.

"Is it delicious?" Zhu Youjian glanced at Ji Biao.

"It's full of oil and water, very fragrant." Ji Biao drank half a bowl of soup in one gulp, grinning.

The Jin Army camp was also tense all night. In fact, everyone was afraid that the other party would attack the camp at night.According to the usual practice, Dorgon really thought that the Ming army would sneak attack, because after all, the Jin soldiers came from a long distance and their foothold was not stable, so he sent people to scout around.

The result of Ye Bufu's detection is that the Ming army is driving a large number of carriages from the rear, and all of them are concentrated in the formation to form a defensive formation.

Dorgon felt that this was nothing strange. Since the first battle of Fengyang, the Ming army had used a new type of chariot formation to block and divide the Jin soldiers, and the effect was remarkable.

For this kind of tactic, Jin Bing also made a targeted response. Dorgon believed that he only needed to concentrate the cannons on his side to destroy the Ming army's chariot formation.

Dorgon's head quickly planned: at dawn, he would send Bao Yi to attack the main formation with firearms, light cavalry to help deliver long-range strikes, give up the two wings and then use heavy cavalry to break the formation, and heavy infantry to cover and kill, like waves one after another Wave land hit the main formation of the Ming army.

"Ama, there seems to be something wrong on the other side." Seeing that Dorgon's big tent was lit, Dorbo walked in quickly.

"What's wrong?" Dorgon was numb from the noise of the Ming army camp in the distance all night.Looking up at the sky, it was almost dawn, which meant that the Ming army could not attack at night. What could be wrong at this time?

"The whole army seems to have risen," replied Dolbo.

"Then blow the trumpet, and our army will also get up early." Dorgon said.

Getting up at this time is nothing more than starting the battle an hour earlier. Anyway, it will take at least half an hour to wait until the meal is finished and the formation is adjusted.It is not easy to lead an army of tens of thousands of people, and it takes half an hour just to cook a meal.

This is the darkest moment before dawn, the Milky Way has already disappeared, and the sky is like a dark marching pot upside down on the earth.Most people suffer from night blindness at this time, and even the distant fire appears much weaker.

The water around the Yang River is not deep, only a section of silt on both sides of the river can slightly hinder the marching footsteps, but that is only an incense stick of time.

"Quick, push the cannon cart into the river."

Under the dark night, a large number of black shadows were busy in the river, because of the sight and the environment, Jin Bing did not notice that a large number of Ming army carriages had entered the river.

"Your Majesty, what is our army doing?" Ji Biao asked while looking into the distance through the dim light through the binoculars.

"You guys learn a little bit. General Li concentrated the artillery positions on the two wings to the front of the formation, which is equivalent to moving forward three hundred steps, and they are also hidden in the river." Zhu Youjian smiled.He guessed that Dorgon must have not thought of this trick of the Ming army, and the soldiers have tricks.

The darkest night sky was short-lived, and it was only after a meal. The infantry array of the Ming army appeared on the east bank of the Raoyang River.

"Ama, the Ming army has begun to attack." Dorbo broke into Dorgon's big tent again in a panic.

"Ridiculous, how long has it been since I got up? I'm afraid that the soup cakes are not even cooked, so how could they attack?" Dorgon didn't believe it. , Not enough time to soak the cake.Why did the Ming army start to attack?

"It's true, Ama, the sky outside has begun to light up slightly, come and take a look." Doerbo was in a hurry.

Dorgon ran out of the tent in two or three steps. Next to his big tent was the watchtower. When he boarded the watchtower and looked through the binoculars, there were some vague black shadows shaking like waves in the west.

It was the infantry formation of the Ming army, and it was floating towards the Jin soldiers' camp piece by piece.

"Hurry up, blow the horn, and the whole army will attack." Dorgon rolled down from the watchtower, giving orders while running.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rush of horn horns in the camp, and the drums of war also started to beat, and the golden soldiers began to gather their troops.Many soldiers had just come out of the tents, and when they heard the assembly number, they ran away with weapons in a daze.

In a panic, the entire Jinbing camp was in a panic.The formation of the Ming army had clearly appeared in front of the front battalion, and it was too late for the Jin soldiers to form a formation. No matter whether it was the central army or the rear army, they all gathered towards the front battalion in a swarm.The coaters of the front battalion had already started firing, and some gunners arranged a three-stage strike array densely, waiting for the Ming army to move forward for a certain distance before firing.

The cavalry of the Golden Soldier is still in formation, and the response of a large number of horses is not so fast. They need to find their masters one by one.
