Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"Khan! No!"

"The Dongjiang Army is the most elite force in the hands of the Ming Manzi."

"It's hard to gain advantage by going head-to-head with them."

"Once we are delayed, Liu Xingzuo will definitely lead an army to attack, and I will be very passive by then!"

Fan Wencheng only felt that this guy was not crazy.

Kowtow and shout!

However, Huang Taiji waved his hand as if determined.

"No need to say more."

"Although Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army is strong, it is still far behind our Houjin Eight Banners."

"Mao Wenlong is no match for the Eight Banners Warriors in a frontal field battle."

"As long as you are fast enough, you can quickly retreat along the Taizi River after one strike."

"I don't have to kill Mao Wenlong, as long as I can severely injure them."

"How can the dignified Jin Baqi be beaten like a wild dog!"

"As for Liu Xingzuo, a bunch of things that don't even have horses. Ben Khan is standing here. Can he catch up?"

Huang Taiji's tone was full of confidence.

Although the Dongjiang Army is quite capable of fighting, its equipment and other equipment have not kept up.

The main force of the Later Jin Eight Banners was mostly cavalry and all were heavily armored.

In a frontal field battle, the Dongjiang Army can't take advantage of the equipment alone.

Moreover, the fighting spirit of the Eight Banners disciples is not weaker than that of the Dongjiang Army.

It is impossible to lose.

As long as they can take the opportunity to cripple the Dongjiang Army, they can at least regain some face.

"This..."

Fan Wencheng wanted to say something more, but Huang Taiji was too lazy to talk to him anymore.

Let the messengers issue orders directly!

Seeing this, Fan Wencheng could only laugh bitterly and get up from the ground.

Although he also believed that the Eight Banners soldiers could defeat the Dongjiang Army.

But the problem is time...

Liu Xingzuo did not have cavalry in his hands.

But Liaodong cavalry master Tianxiong's army has nearly [-] cavalry.

If they arrive, Mao Wenlong will definitely not be able to take it down.

It's just consuming your own power out of thin air.

However, what Fan Wencheng didn't know was.

In fact, there was not much problem with Huang Taiji's judgment at this time.

Huang Taiji, who has been fighting all year round, is simply not comparable to him in terms of assessment of combat effectiveness.

At this time in Houjin, although the main force of the Eight Banners came to less than [-], the rest were all the Han Eight Banners who came in from various places.

But relying on the legacy left by Nurhachi, these troops have more elite equipment than the Ming army.

This may sound absurd, but it is true.

The Hou Jin Dynasty originally relied on heavy infantry. After defeating the Mongols, they obtained a large number of war horses. At worst, they could have one soldier and two or three cavalry.

Later, they plundered Liaodong and other places and captured a large number of craftsmen, and also robbed North Korea and other countries.

Even though Houjin was poor, the entire Houjin Eight Banners had an extremely terrifying armor rate thanks to the efforts of the whole country!

Bows and arrows are in constant supply!

It is said that even the cannon fodder of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty can wear cotton armor.

Mounting the horse means riding again, dismounting means fighting again, coupled with the morale trained by Nurhaci.

This is the fundamental reason why Hou Jin was able to dominate Liaodong.

And when Mao Wenliao found out that Huang Taiji personally led the main force to attack him in reverse.

Not long after crossing the river, Mao Wenlong's expression suddenly changed as he was on his way!

As an old rival, he was very aware of Houjin Tatar's ability in the field.

When no one is afraid of death, equipment determines everything.

Moreover, the Dongjiang Army was mostly infantry, so it was a bit of a headache to face the Houjin Tatars, who were all riding horses.

"Quick! Pass this message to the generals!"

"The entire army moves three kilometers to the left and forms a ring formation on the spot!"

"If these Tatars dare to come, then fight!"

"This general wants to see how difficult it is for Jin Tatar's Eight Banners main force to defeat them now!"

"Also, inform Sun Guozhen to quickly lead troops to support!"

There is no way to leave.

In the Houjin Eight Banners, both cavalry and infantry were all on horseback.

If they come at a gallop, they won't be able to retreat at all.

Moreover, once they retreated, it gave the Tatar cavalry an opportunity to charge.

In this case, the only way to resist is to form a formation!

Since they had to cross the river, Sun Guozhen's eight thousand cavalry should still be floating on the river at this time.

But the place where they landed was not far from the Dongjiang Army's position at this time.

As long as they are delayed, the Liaodong cavalry will surely retreat as soon as they arrive at Huang Taiji.

So the key now is whether the Dongjiang Army can withstand the Tatar offensive!

"Wow!"

The dull sound of the horn quickly sounded among the army.

Hundreds of messengers shuttled back and forth issuing orders.

The galloping army quickly stopped under Mao Wenlong's order.

"Send the general's order!"

"Form a ring defense array!"

"The shield soldiers and spearmen are in front! The gunmen are in the back!"

"Archers, crossbowmen, gather in the central area!"

"quick!"

The so-called ring defense is to form a circle with troops.

The outer perimeter was a line of defense built by shield soldiers and pikemen.

Using shields as walls, spears protrude from the gaps between the shields like hedgehogs.

Mao Wenlong still had more than 4 people in his hands at this time.

This first circle of defense alone has six layers!

Once the cavalry rushes in, they can be killed within the formation as long as the formation does not collapse.

Not to mention that Mao Wenlong also placed fire fighters on the front line of defense.

Once the cavalry approaches, they will be ready with firecrackers!

As for the central area, there are piles of crossbowmen.

Their task is simple.

Suppress the surrounding cavalry with firepower!

This can be said to be the formation that Dongjiang Army is most familiar with.

After all, they have been causing trouble in Houjin Realm all year round.

Whether it is small group combat or head-on confrontation, this formation is most commonly used.

Less than half an hour!

The army has been deployed on the spot.

Mao Wenlong personally sits in the center and lives and dies with the army!

at this time!

Flying dust can already be seen on the distant skyline.

The earth is trembling continuously.

"Huh, here we come!"

Mao Wenlong stood on the high platform, looking at the flags that kept appearing on the horizon, holding his saber and his expression suddenly became solemn.

This should be regarded as the first time that the Dongjiang Army fought against the main force of Houjin!

I'm not sure whether I can beat Mao Wenlong.

But he still believes that even if the Dongjiang Army cannot defeat them, they will definitely make these Tatars pay a heavy price!

"Da da da..."

The sound of horse hooves like war drums kept coming from the front.

The first one to appear was Zhengbai Qi led by Huang Taiji!

Further behind, there are the two banners of Zhengyang and Xiangyang, both led by King Khan!

Then, Daishan's red flag, Daishan's eldest son Yue Tuo's red flag, Mang Gurtai's blue flag, and Amin's blue flag all appeared!

Nearly [-] heavy armored cavalry finally stopped on a slope far away from Mao Wenlong's position.

The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty dismounted one after another at a closer distance.

They are heavily armed troops. Although they are cannon fodder, they all wear armor and hold sharp swords.

After dismounting, they quickly formed an offensive formation and stared covetously at Mao Wenlong's position.

The pressure from the main force of the Eight Banners came up instantly.

Even Mao Wenlong, who has always been big-hearted, couldn't help but say a few words in his heart when he looked at the batches of heavy armor of the Tatars.

This is the advantage of a small country. It can invest all its money in war without restraint.

Those heavy armors are the result of years of plundering by the Tatars.

Damn it, those who don’t know think they are the poor Tartars...

If he can win this time, even if he, Mao Wenlong, loses his old face, he will still have to ask His Majesty to fill up his armor!
