PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The deputy commander of the Qing army, Baylor Shangshan, rushed to the battlefield with 10,000 elite cavalry. When he saw that the battle was fought in a mess, he was furious and summoned the commander of the front army, Baylor Duran, and shouted: "Dulan Baylor,

This place is a plain, which is most conducive to the movement of the Eight Banners. Instead of gathering the cavalry to attack the Ming army, you instead fight with the Ming army. It is simply stupid!"

Du Lan's original status was actually higher than that of Shang Shan, and he was the grandson of Dai Shan. It was only because his brother Adali was executed for planning to make Dorgon the emperor, and he was implicated and deposed from the clan. Later, Emperor Shunzhi opened the

Tian'en granted him the title of Baylor again, and ordered him to serve as political advisors along with Jidu, son of Jierhalang, Duoni, king of Duoluoxin, Yuele, king of Duoluoan, Ledu, Shangshan, and Duerhu, kings of Duoluoan.

With Dorgon's relationship, he ranks last among all political discussions and is also the most low-key.

Being yelled at by Shang Shan, 22-year-old Dulan's face turned red. This is really not his fault. Like Donnie and Rokodo, he has never been on the battlefield. The only combat experience he has is from listening to his family.

According to the elders, the ability to command and fight is actually not as good as the following Gushan Ezhen and Mele Zhangjing.

"The Ming army arrived in groups, and our army also arrived in groups, so it was disrupted," Dulan explained.

Shang Shan didn't have time to listen to his explanation, so he gave orders to the left and right, "Blow the trumpet and gather the troops."

"Woo~woo~woo~"

The long trumpet sounded, and the well-trained Eight Banners soldiers heard the sound of the trumpet, turned their horses and retreated.

Shang Shan ordered the generals to assemble their Niu Lu formations one after another.

The Ming army, under the command of Li Benzhen, also reorganized their formation.

Shangshan arranged the entire army into four columns, each with six armored soldiers and nine thousand men. In front of each column, he placed 300 Bagala heavy armored infantry to clear the way.

Wearing triple armor, he is known as the warrior among warriors.

Shang Shan summoned four Baya Lazhangjing and encouraged them: "Gerha, Du Chun, Chu Lun, Bayan Nuoer, you have always called yourself warriors. Today is a national war. Whether you can defeat the enemy's formation will depend on you."

You’ve been waiting for a while.”

"Beile, don't worry, I will fight to the death to serve the country." The four generals were so excited that they led 1,200 Bagala heavy armored infantry and rushed towards the Ming army in four directions. Behind them, Zhuo Luo, Mang Gutu, Fu

Ka and Ke Xingge each led nine thousand cavalry to follow. Shang Shanze and Dulan led more than a thousand Geshiha (Manchu: bodyguards) to observe the formation.

"Tiger crouching cannon, shoot!"

Following the general's order, the Ming army's squatting cannons began to fire. All the heavy artillery of the Ming army were in the center, and there were only some small cannons in the forward.

"Boom boom boom".

The shells claimed lives one after another, but the Qing army was in columns, and the Tiger Crouching Cannon had a close range, so not many people or horses actually fell.

After several rounds of shooting, the Qing army approached the Ming army's formation.

Li Benshen's face was deep, and he said slowly: "Put the spear up, and the archer will throw it."

In front of the Ming army's military formation, rows of spears were erected, as dense as a forest. In the military formation, the archers lined up in six or seven rows and shot into the sky.

"Swish, swish, swish", the arrows shot down some Qing cavalry, but because they were in a column, the casualties were not large. As for the Baya soldiers, all of them were in triple armor. Unless they were shot directly in the face, they would be extremely difficult to be injured.

The Baya soldiers rushed to the Ming army's formation, took out their waist knives and cut off the spear heads. Their knives were made of fine steel, which was much better than the ordinary Eight Banners knives.

A Baya La soldier cut off a spear of the Ming army in the front row. "Poof", the spear in the second row pierced his chest. It penetrated two layers of armor, but got stuck on the third layer. Baya La

The soldier then cut off the spear heads of the second row, swept across with his saber, cut down several people, and then rushed towards the third row.

He opened a small gap, and the Baya soldiers behind him followed up, making the gap bigger and bigger.

"Bang", the musket behind the Ming army's spear shot down a Baya soldier. Their armor could protect against arrows and swords, but not the musket.

People kept falling to the ground, and people kept coming up.

Nearly half of the 1,200 Baya soldiers were killed. Du Chun, Chu Lun, and Bayan Nuoer died in the battle, but four gaps were opened in the Ming army's formation.

"drive", "drive", "congratulate"??

"Da da da", "ta da da", "ta da da"??

The four cavalry columns of the Qing army headed towards the gap, beating their horses and galloping towards the Ming army.

On the plain, the horse speed was very fast, and the Qing army's cavalry quickly rushed into the Ming army's formation, penetrated and came out of the formation, turning the four gaps into four scars.

After killing through the military formation, the Qing army made a circle, returned, and charged into the formation again, causing the Ming army's scars to expand until it completely collapsed and was completely defeated.

It was in chaos. The Ming army's military formation was all in chaos. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers.

Lieutenant General Xiao Shizhong led his troops to retreat in embarrassment. Gushan'e Zhenzhuoluo chased him and cut him in half with a single blow.

The general troops and horses gathered hundreds of sergeants, and they were about to reorganize their formation. Qing Meile Zhangjing and Fu Ka led hundreds of cavalry and rushed over.

"Bang", Fu Ka leveled his riding sword, and with the help of his horse power, he cut off half of Ma Jinbao's body with one blow.

"Kill!"

The commander-in-chief Hu Maozhen chopped off a horse's leg with a sword, turned around and chopped down the fallen Eight Banners with a sword.

"Brothers, the time has come to die for our country. I will kill a few more Tatars. It will not be a loss if I die!"

He was red-blooded, knowing that he would die if he got hit, so he simply fought with the Qing army.

"Whoosh", a cold arrow hit his right shoulder, and the Yanling knife fell to the ground.

Qing Niulu Zhang Jinghar Tiger saw the advantage, picked up the mace and smashed it.

"My life is at an end." Hu Maozhen closed his eyes.

"Poof", a bay-red horse swept over, and the seven-foot spear pierced the Harhu.

The Ming Dynasty's commander-in-chief Ma Bao arrived with 15,000 reinforcements.

Hu Maozhen was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Uncle Pucheng for saving me."

"Mr. Hu, this is not the time to be polite. Hurry up and take your subordinates to hide in my military formation."

Ma Bao's formation is a cone-shaped formation, shaped like an arrow, with himself as the arrow.

The whip in the left hand and the pistol in the right hand are like a tanning whip spear. They can stab from far away and hit at close range. They can kill directly and make the Qing army frightened.

Wherever the flags of the generals of the Ming army are, they will kill them.

"Well, Commander Gao?"

Ma Bao saw Gao Qian's general flag, killed him, and asked the defeated soldiers, "Where is Mr. Gao's town?"

"The general town was seriously injured, under that big elm tree."

Ma Bao found Gao Qian, placed him on his horse, and rescued him into the formation.

I saw another flag with the character "李" and rescued Admiral Li Benzhen.

"If Uncle Pucheng had come a moment later, I would have died for my country." Li Benshen burst into tears. "I am incompetent and suffered such a great defeat. General Bu, General Ma, and Deputy General Xiao will all die for their country."

Ma Bao sighed and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Don't be sad, Commander Li, and speed up your troops to join our army."

After the remnants of the Ming army entered Ma Bao's formation, Ma Bao ordered the formation to change from a conical formation to a square formation. There were long spears on the outside, built-in swords, shields, and firecrackers.

"Retreat," Ma Bao ordered calmly.

The Ming army slowly retreated towards the central army where Emperor Guangwu was.

"Want to run away? It's not that easy." Shang Shan sneered and ordered, "Pursue!"

The Ming army retreated while fighting, while the Qing army pursued and fought at the same time.

The Ming army's military formation was so tight that the Qing army's cavalry could not break through it. Half of the heavy armored infantry suffered casualties, and they were tired from long battles and could not participate in the battle.

"Follow up and shoot the arrows," Shang Shan evil ordered fiercely.

The cavalry of the Qing army followed the Ming army. Those who knew how to ride and shoot would shoot on their horses, and those who couldn't dismount and throw.

"Raise your shield," Ma Bao ordered calmly.

The long card player of the Ming Dynasty raised the long card and held it on his head. The long card is very long and can cover two to three people.

"Bang bang bang", the arrows of the Qing army shot with a long bang bang, but not many people fell to the ground after being hit by the arrows.

Ma Bao led his army to retreat in front of Emperor Guangwu's central army. The Chinese army had already lined up a city and a chariot city. One by one, the sidecars lowered their stakes and interlocked with each other.

Zhu Hengjia dared to come to the plains to fight the Qing Dynasty because of this vehicle formation. In this formation, there is a turret for long-range shooting, and there is a shooting port on the outer carriage for gunners to attack at close range. It can not only defend, but also attack. Every five vehicles

There is an entrance and exit of more than ten feet in between. When guarding, use the horse rifle to block it. When attacking, move the horse away to chase the enemy.

Seeing Ma Bao withdrawing, Zhu Hengjia urgently ordered Li Mingzhong, Yuan Zongdi, and Wang Deren to move away from the horse and come out to respond.

The main force of the Qing army had not yet arrived, so Shang Shan did not dare to get too close and could only stare from a distance.

Ma Bao withdrew to the camp, and Zhu Hengjia counted the number of people. He actually lost 15,000 men, and also killed Ma Jinbao, Bu Congshan, and Xiao Shizhong. The three generals couldn't help but feel upset. He still underestimated the power of the Manchu cavalry and rashly

We had a decisive battle on the plains and suffered a big loss.

The first battle of the Battle of Liuhe ended with the Ming army losing 15,000 and the Qing army losing 6,000. The Qing army had a small victory.
