"Blow the trumpet, hurry up and wake everyone up." Amin shouted loudly. "Play the drum to gather the generals."
During this period of time, the Qing army was advancing and the Donghai people were retreating. The two sides were heading eastward. This made the Qing army numb. Especially after setting up camp here, the camp area was full of water and mud pits, and they could only sleep on piles of bushes.
In this place, everyone is miserable.
Many people suffer from frostbite. After all, their furs, cotton-padded clothes, and boots are wet during the day, and they freeze at night. This is a sin that no one suffers. Rheumatism is a common occurrence. Chilblains are extremely itchy.
No one wanted to go out when nothing happened. They all stayed in the tent to warm themselves by the fire.
However, both sides knew that a decisive battle would be imminent at this point.
Today, Donghai Woji took the lead, marking the official start of the decisive battle.
The horn blew, and the deep sound alarmed the entire camp. Fifteen thousand people camped together for more than ten miles. There were people shouting and neighing everywhere. The Eight Banners were busy putting on their armor and finding bows and knives.
On the other side of the lake, Yang Fan used binoculars to look at the Jiannu Camp opposite. He stood on a high platform built with steel pipe scaffolding and had a very good view. The opponent's situation was clear and he had a panoramic view.
At this time, the ladies, who had had enough beauty sleep and had breakfast, heard the sound of drums.
They knew that a war was about to begin. Tu Shanyue, Lin Yueru, and Chen Xi asked Mei Xiang to look after the house. They excitedly held up their skirts and ran to Yang Fan to watch the decisive battle.
"Master, you've made a plan, right? It's so humid here that their bowstrings will become soft. Without their bows and arrows, they will be like tigers with their teeth pulled out, and they will no longer be ferocious." Tu Shanyue said excitedly.
.
"That's right, even on such a muddy ground, the war horses can't run. It's like destroying their horses' legs. The master is really too clever." Lin Yueru also praised.
"Sir, where is their truck? Why didn't you see the truck?" Chen Xi asked as if he was curious about a baby.
"They abandoned that thing more than ten days ago. They can push it on this muddy road." Yang Fan said with a smile.
Now, Jiannu was hungry, exhausted, frostbitten, almost cut off from logistics, and without the help of horses and bows and arrows. They were just a group of hungry wolves with their teeth pulled out. Yang Fan designed them to force them to fight hand-to-hand with Donghaiwoji.
Yang Fan has kept more than 20,000 Sauron people in his hands without leaking out. This is Yang Fan's biggest card. He will not go into the battlefield until the critical moment.
Amin had no idea that his opponents were not only more than 40,000 Donghaiwoji, but also more than 20,000 Sauron people.
There is a reason why Yang Fan chose this place for the decisive battle.
This is the valley between the Lesser Hinggan Mountains, Zhangguangcai Mountains, and Changbai Mountains. The terrain is closed and long and narrow. Although the Qing army was large in number, they could not outflank them. They could only use hard steel head on.
There is a saying in the art of war, which is to roll the bead curtain.
Although there are many soldiers, there are only 40,000 to 50,000 people who can be deployed on the southern plain of Jingbo Lake. No matter how many there are, Yang Fan's intention is to defeat the first echelon of the Qing army from the front.
.Cause a rout. It will disperse the team behind.
As the Qing army mobilized troops, a military formation of about 50,000 people was formed, firmly blocking the way to Donghai Woji.
Amin had no choice. Huang Taiji and the others took away all the veterans of hundreds of battles. The remaining people were old and young. The Eight Banners usually drew one out of five. This time they took away more than 50,000 people, and the remaining
There are still about 200,000 strong men.
But a considerable number of them are children who have just grown up, and there are also many old men over forty years old. Those in their twenties and thirties with combat experience are serving as bannermen in the Eight Banners. The remaining young men are engaged in production in the Eight Banners.
.
The only people Amin could find who had some combat experience and were in their twenties and thirties were these more than 50,000 people. The others formed two large phalanxes of about 50,000 people and followed behind.
The Qing army set up a three-stage deep array with front, middle and rear. The first array was made up of adults with battlefield experience. The second array was made up of older people, and there were also some veterans who were disabled and could still fight. The third array was composed of older men.
It is completely old and weak. The baggage is also placed here.
Amin squinted his eyes and looked at Donghai Woji walking in groups in front of him. He lamented in his heart. These people are really good soldiers. If the Eight Banners can be taken back, the Eight Banners will be even more powerful.
Both sides placed their shields in the front row. Most of these shields were made by temporarily cutting down trees. The wood was not painted, and the white stubble was exposed.
It is very wet and cold here, and the bowstrings are loose.
The two sides were still approaching and shooting arrows at the same time. There were hundreds of thousands of people on both sides fighting, and almost everyone had a bow and arrow. For a moment, arrows flew towards each other like locusts.
Someone kept getting hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The people behind him dragged him away and then automatically filled his position.
At this time, the advantage of Donghai Woji was revealed. Their bow strings were replaced by steel wire ropes by Yang Fan. The elastic part of the bow is the bow arm, and the bow string cannot be elastic. However, using animal skin ropes, tendons, tendons, etc.
Bow strings made of materials will become loose and elastic in a cold and humid environment, greatly reducing the power of the bow and arrow.
Amin and others were commanding the Chinese army. Seeing the exchange of fire in front of them, the Qing army's bows and arrows were weak and weak, while the Donghai people's bows and arrows were hardly affected, and the arrows flew with a screaming sound.
The dense arrows shot through the shields. A large number of the archers in front fell down.
Although the bow arms are bonded with horn pieces and fish glue, moisture will also cause the bow arms to become loose. However, the outside of the bow arms is painted and treated with water and moisture. As long as it does not break, there will be no major damage.
Impact.
The rear teams of both sides are throwing shots into the sky. There is no way, there are too many people. They can only throw. Direct shots will shoot down their own people.
Almost instantly, the people in front were fighting.
On this plain, the width is limited and there is not much room for movement. The two sides lined up in horizontal lines and pressed forward layer by layer. Just like a road roller.
The fierce hand-to-hand fighting between the two sides in the first row was filled with screams and the metallic sound of weapons being blocked. The Donghai people were armed by Yang Fan. They wore Mongolian armor and leather armor. They held Mongolian scimitars and carried them on their backs.
He is wearing a big Mongolian bow. He looks like a Mongolian.
These Qing troops had all been on the battlefield and had fighting experience. For a while, the two sides fought like a meat grinder. The first rows were desperately killing each other. At this time, the only chance of survival was to fight desperately. Only in this way can they survive.
As Qi Jiguang said, when the enemy comes and slashes with swords, we will slash back with swords. When the enemy's spears stab at them, our spears will stab them back.
People were confined in the military formation and could not move at all. There were robes on the left and right, the enemy in front, and the supervising team behind. Each column of the infantry array was responsible for monitoring the column in front to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to escape.
In the blink of an eye, all the casualties in the first three rows were lost, and the ground in the middle became a river of blood.
