At ten o'clock in the morning on February 21, 1612, the decisive battle between Ming and Jin began in Saarhu!

At around 12 noon, the coaches of both sides began to make new tactical arrangements almost at the same time.

At 12:10, Chai Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan on the Ming side, died in battle. The 5,000 Liaodong cavalry led by him suffered heavy casualties, and the rest began to collapse.

At the same time, the Kaiyuan Army, which was carrying the blue flag from the front, also showed its defeat. Especially when the Liaodong cavalry on its right retreated and Hou Jin's Zhenglan Banner began to attack from its side, this defeat appeared.

More obvious.

Around 12:20, soldiers from the three towns of Ningxia and the Beijing Camp entered the battlefield, barely able to stabilize the Kaiyuan Army's front line that was about to collapse. For a time, relying on the abundant physical strength of the new entrants, they fought hard for a long time.

The flag retreats step by step.

But this advantage did not last long. At about 12:40, after Hou Jin's Zhenghuang and Zhengbai flags entered the battlefield under the leadership of the four ministers, the attacks in the three towns of Ningxia and Jingying immediately stopped, and as time went by

As it moved forward, it began to be forced to retreat slowly.

But no matter what, after nearly three hours of fighting, not a single Ming army fled without a fight or dispersed. This alone made Zhu Youdong extremely satisfied.

"Your Highness, the Henghai Guards and Kuandian Guards have completed their formations, and all the Juma have been placed."

"Okay, have the auxiliaries at the back brought up the hot water?"

"It has been delivered, and we are pouring water on the horse."

"Very good, give the order to the soldiers who are fighting hard in front, let them hold on for another half an hour, and then retreat from both sides of the Henghai and Kuandian guard fronts, and then reorganize on the high ground on the river bank to protect the flanks of the new front line

."

"Take orders!"

"Here comes someone!" After watching the ordering soldiers run away quickly, Zhu Youdong shouted: "Hold up the flag!"

Following Zhu Youdong's loud shout, more than ten strong men in uniforms laboriously knocked down a tree that had just been brought down from the scene, barely removed the branches, and erected the ten-meter-high tree as a flagpole. With the flagpole

The huge flag was erected, and in a gust of cold wind, the huge flag unfolded at once, revealing a row of large characters on it: The great grandson of the Ming Emperor is here, and the slave chief comes quickly to receive him!

Come on, I want to see what the outcome will be like for the modern army that I spent so much effort training against the peak heavy infantry of the Middle Ages like you, Houjin.

…

"Crash!" The horse-zanting sword was swung with force again. After Ma Ran, who had been fighting all the way from the beginning of this battle, killed a Jurchen soldier again, his sore arms could no longer exert any force, and the heavy horse-zanting sword struck.

The child slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

"Huchi~huchi~" His cheek was slashed, and there was a deep wound from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. Blood was still oozing out from Ma Ran's lungs. After taking a few big breaths with great effort, his lungs were like broken bellows, and he resolutely quit.

He took out an exquisite dagger from his waist.

"Hey, you actually want to use the dagger given by His Highness to kill the enemy. I don't know how many slaves I can kill for His Highness?"

His thoughts paused for a moment, and immediately a Houjin soldier came over with a sword. Ma Ran originally wanted to bend down to avoid the blade, and then waited for an opportunity to kill the enemy with a dagger. Unexpectedly, as soon as he squatted down, his legs became weak.

, the whole person suddenly fell to the ground.

"Hey, I'm stuck here today." Ma Ran just closed his eyes, but suddenly felt a wave of heat splashing on his cheeks. When he opened his eyes, he saw the Jian Nu who was waving a knife towards him.

A gun tip suddenly appeared on his chest.

"Brother, get up quickly!"

"Brother Yi, why are you here? Where is father?"

"His Royal Highness just now ordered that our troops can retreat. My father has already retreated first. My younger brother didn't see my older brother coming back, so..." At this point, Ma Yi avoided an incoming spear and knocked the slave over with the barrel of his gun.

: "Brother, follow me and evacuate quickly, otherwise falling directly in front of Henghaiwei will be worse than being surrounded by Jiannu."

"Hahaha, what you said makes sense." Once again squeezing out the last bit of strength from his body, Ma Ran stood up, found a spear at random, and stood back to back with his younger brother, fighting and retreating, and kept fighting.

He called on the few Ming soldiers on the battlefield to come closer to him. After experiencing many life-and-death battles, he finally withdrew from the frontal battlefield at around two o'clock in the afternoon and retreated to Henghai, where the Kuandian Army was leaning towards

In the rear, the army began to reorganize.

"Ran'er, Ran'er!"

"Father, the child is here."

"Uuuuuu~~Father, I almost lost my sight of you."

"Hahaha, father, isn't it natural for our Ma family to die in battle for generations of generals? When my uncle died in the battle, my grandfather didn't shed a single tear. He just said that the man was wrapped in horse leather and died a worthy death. Father, why do you have to do this?"

"Silly boy! What a stupid boy!" Marin, who had never taken off his sword from the beginning of the war until now, was just crying tears that had just flowed out, mixed with the tears that had been frozen earlier, and his whole face was yellow and white.

One Piece: "What do you know? You are the eldest son of my Ma family! Wuwuwu~~"

"Father, let's talk about the relationship between father and son later. Now we have to regroup quickly to prevent the enemy from surrounding Henghai and Kuandian from the flanks."

"Well...but now the organization is all messed up. In addition to the Kaiyuan Guards, we also have soldiers from Ningxia Town and Yansui Town."

"Father, have you forgotten? His Highness has long expected this situation, so he has given bra patches to every officer in advance. Father, your bra patch with three horizontal bars and one star must be the highest level at this time.

Please ask father to come forward and call everyone to re-form."

"Ah? Oh, yes, His Highness has such an arrangement. Okay, okay, Ran'er, are you okay? Can you?"

"I will reorganize the entire army with my father!"

Putting aside the contrasting father and son, and explaining that the army had already advanced far to the two wings, the leading troops, Du Song, Li Rubai and others, of course also saw the situation on the central front. When they were thinking about whether to return for reinforcements, they saw

Seven red signal flares rose in the sky again: According to the command regulations newly issued by His Highness, this means a general attack by the entire army!

Not long after, Jun Song and others saw a huge red flag erected: Except Taisun himself, who would dare to use a three-foot flagpole in this battle? Doesn't this mean that His Highness went out in person?

Moreover, after the flagpole was erected, it continued to tilt forward violently, combined with the signal flares in the sky just now. Zhu Youdong's meaning was very obvious: the outflanking by both wings must continue and be carried out unswervingly! The two wings are at the advantage now, no, or

No need to call back.

What else is there to say? Rush forward desperately, defeat the enemy on the opposite side as soon as possible, and force Jiannu to withdraw the superior force from the front as soon as possible. This will be a help to Taisun.

"Is all the water you poured on me frozen?"

"Your Highness, because the troops in front fought hard and bought us an extra half hour, all the hot water that was refused immediately has been frozen. Our infantry has a barrier."

"Very good. Approximately how many of the troops in front have retreated? Let them quickly withdraw the wounded and reorganize the rest."

The Kaiyuan Guards, Shanhai Guards, and the three towns of Ningxia and the soldiers of the Beijing Camp totaled 33,000 before the war started. At this time, about 24,000 people retreated. Of course, the remaining 9,000 people could not be

All were killed. However, as the battlefield was taken over by Houjin and in such a freezing environment, it is estimated that not many of the wounded soldiers who fell on the battlefield could survive.

Among the 24,000 people who retreated, many were injured, but no matter what, there were at least 15,000 people who could continue to fight.

Of course, Zhu Youdong, who was in the Henghai and Kuandian Guards, did not know these situations at the moment. All he could do was to ask the auxiliary soldiers in the rear to evacuate the wounded who had retreated as soon as possible - this time

During the war, Nanhua Palace and Fang Shan were doing their best. All work in the medical laboratory was stopped. All the doctors and apprentices were now in the camp at the rear.

The time came to 2:20 in the afternoon. As the Ming army that had been fighting so hard suddenly withdrew, the two blue flags and the yellow and white flags were able to quickly join together. After a brief discussion, the two Baylors and the four ministers
Chapter completed!
