call!

With a flick of his cloak, Nuerhachi stood up energetically and walked outside to check the situation. The Liaoxi Corridor was very flat, with only the occasional mounds. Most of the land was reclaimed as farmland or roads, and there was no obstruction.

At a glance, he saw a dense mass of black spots slowly moving towards this direction.

"Hmph! The Ming Kingdom is so trustworthy and fights with me in the field, God is really helping me." Nu'erhachi sounded angry, but his eyes shone with surprise. If the Yulin Army held its position and did not come out,

Then they really didn't have any good ideas. Under the roar of artillery fire, the cavalry couldn't rush through at all, but it was different once they got there.

The opponent's artillery is so powerful and must be very heavy. It certainly cannot be carried with the army at this moment, so there is nothing to be afraid of. As for the opponent's sharp fire cannons, they are not many in total and fire slowly. As long as the casualties are sacrificed, you can definitely resist the charge and engage at close range.

War. Nuerhachi had absolute confidence in the melee combat capabilities of the Jurchen warriors, and the Ming Dynasty's infantry could not stop them.

Moreover, the terrain here is open and flat, almost half as wide as that of Ningyuan, and without the obstruction of the opponent's camp and Ningyuan Acropolis, the cavalry's mobility can be maximized. There are far more people on our side than the opponent, and

They are all cavalry. Once they run away, they can definitely disrupt the opponent's formation and take advantage of the opportunity to attack.

"The whole army is ready for war!" Nurhachi ordered with high spirits. At this moment, he had regained the courage and demeanor he had during the Battle of Sarhu.

Soon, under the excited command of Nuerhachi, all the Jurchen troops were organized. They mounted their horses and assembled into formations, preparing to attack the slowly approaching Yulin army. As for the people who had just crossed the mountains and entered the

He completely gave up on the plan in Mongolia. It was too risky. Even if he could get through, he didn't know how many people would die. It would be better to seize the Ming army's flaws and attack at an opportunity. The success rate would be higher.

some.

Moreover, Nuerhachi's pride made him absolutely wrong to bow to the people of the Ming Dynasty again. If it hadn't been for the fact that there was no other way, he would not have agreed to the strategy of crossing the mountains to Mongolia.

Seeing Nu'er Hachi striding away, Huang Taiji hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he finally swallowed the words of persuasion. He really knew his father too well.

There was no way to defeat the Ming army, and he was facing a crisis of food and grass. He would never agree to the plan just now.

Huang Taiji also vaguely heard about his father's early experiences. It was really a past that he couldn't bear to look back on, especially after Nuerhachi unified the Jurchens and ascended the throne of Khan. He was dedicated to cavalry against the Ming Dynasty, but he just didn't want to go back.

Bowing to the Ming Dynasty and going to Mongolia obviously ran counter to his will.

If they were in a desperate situation, but now there is a glimmer of hope due to the Ming army's underestimation of the enemy, then Nuerhachi will never retreat easily.

"Hey!" Huang Taiji sighed helplessly and had no choice but to follow him, but he still kept a careful eye on it. When arranging the troops, he placed his men and his cronies at the back, so that

If something goes wrong, he can turn around and run away.

The time is pushed forward one hour.

After Li Tu retreated, the entire Yulin Army began to have lunch. The scene of thirty thousand people having lunch was quite spectacular. Although they only boiled water and ate dry food, it was still a grand scene. At this time, they were still on the battlefield.

He could only eat cold dry food with hot water, and the same was true for Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty...General!" Li Yuyu paused and then said, "I will hunt two wild game for you. Although there is no salt, the hot ones taste better than dry food!"

"No need." Glancing at him, Zhu Youxiao took another bite of the hot and soft pancake baked in his hand, "Now that we are in the army, everything is done according to military law. We will eat whatever the soldiers eat.

Could it be that you have forgotten what the military training manual says, that in wartime we must share joys and sorrows."

The people in the army were all upright men. After hearing what the emperor said, no one offered any words of advice. After finishing the meal and taking a short rest, the Yulin Army's assembly horn sounded.

Under the sound, all the soldiers quickly packed up their things and set off in formation.

Although the Tatars were defeated just now, they still have fighting strength. No one can guarantee where they are at this moment. If the scout horses sent out to cover did not find the enemy, and were charged by the opponent, there would be no infantry to form a formation.

Couldn't stop the cavalry's attack.

Soon, three square formations in the finished shape were quickly assembled. Li Yuyu led the first square formation to set off first, followed by the two square formations on the left and right. Zhu Youxiao and Li Tu each led two thousand cavalry to cover the formation.

On both wings, those who had less than a thousand left were sent out to search for information, while the baggage and artillery were at the end. The first half of the baggage vehicles were in the middle of the two phalanxes.

Maintaining this formation, the Yulin Army advanced slowly and neatly, without a trace of impatience or impatience. They were just walking quietly.

The Western Liaoning Corridor runs from beginning to end. As long as the other party does not enter the old forest, they will definitely encounter it. As expected, about half an hour after they set off, a scout came to report that they had discovered the Jurchen camp.

I found this place and are preparing for war.

This place is really too flat. All the trees on this long and narrow corridor have been cut down, and all the land has been developed into farmland and roads. Standing at a slightly higher place, you can see very far. And this allows the cavalry to

The masking effect of Tanma has been reduced to a minimum.

When the two sides were two kilometers apart, they almost spotted each other.

Nuerhachi mobilized his entire army and rushed over with a rumble. The Jurchens were almost in a state of paralysis at this time. Except for the things the soldiers carried on their horses, everything else was lost. Although this made them extremely embarrassed, it also made them extremely embarrassed.

This allowed them to organize the army much faster. They almost rushed out within a few minutes after receiving the report from Zhu Youxiao.

The rumbling sound was very obvious in this open field, and Zhu Youxiao knew that the other party was approaching quickly without looking at him.

"Stop!" Zhu Youxiao ordered, and then the staff officers around him blew the trumpets and waved flags to pass his order to other departments.

"Iron Wall Formation." Another order was issued, and the entire Yulin Army moved in an orderly manner. The square formations were close to each other, but there was a little distance between them, so they were not close. In an instant, the entire Z-shaped formation became

An iron wall was formed. The musketeers who were originally inside the square formation also came out one after another and formed a battle line in front of the iron wall.

This is the formation in which the spear infantry phalanx and the musketeers cooperate with each other when the large corps fights. The long iron wall allows the phalanx to shrink back and form a new large phalanx even if the opponent surrounds it from both sides.

.

Li Tu, on the other side, also brought two thousand cavalry to join him. Those foreign scouts were like tired birds returning to the forest, constantly integrating back and becoming a member of the iron formation.

While the infantry was moving, the artillerymen were not idle either. They took the reins directly from the horses that were being dragged, then turned the muzzles, tested the distance, and adjusted the elevation angle. With their sports cars, they hardly needed to set up artillery positions.

Just pile dirt on the front and rear of the wheels.

The Yulin Army's movements were quick and skillful. After the battle in the morning, they had basically lost their green color and nervousness when they first entered the battle formation. They were now busy but not chaotic, with a stable mentality, and they put all their daily training into full play.

came out.

"The Musketeers are in formation!"

"The spearmen are in formation!"

"The artillerymen are in formation and ready to fire at any time." This was Xu Wen, and what he meant was that he wanted to let me fire the first shot!

At this time, the Jurchens had already charged nearly half of the distance, and were still about one kilometer away from the Yulin Army. The heavy black cavalry all over the mountains and plains looked very impactful. This was a large-scale charge of nearly 50,000 cavalry.

Even after the battle in the morning, the soldiers of the Yulin Army who had some combat experience couldn't help tightening their muskets and spears when they saw this scene. They were a little hesitant, not sure whether they could withstand such an astonishing force.

charge.

Zhu Youxiao's eyesight was astonishing, and he was riding on a tall horse. He could clearly see the expressions of the soldiers. He knew very well at this moment that something needed to be done to boost morale, and shelling was the best way. Seeing himself like this

The weapons on one side are powerful, but the other side is unable to fight back and can only bear it silently. Everyone will cheer for joy.

"Allow bombardment!" Zhu Youxiao ordered indifferently. He looked at the large-scale cavalry charge with an expressionless face. He was the only one present who could achieve this level of calmness. Not even Li Yuyu could, and he could only have a deep understanding of himself.

Only with the power of the weapons and formations in his hands did he realize that the seemingly shocking cavalry charge was just a paper tiger that could be broken with just one poke.

Soon, the staff officer passed Zhu Youxiao's order. After receiving the order, Xu Wen's eyes flashed instantly. He was so excited that he immediately started to place his thumbs in the middle of the sight distance of his eyes and began to visually measure the distance.

"Elevation angle 45 degrees, rapid fire, three rounds!" After a few seconds, he put down his thumb and loudly announced the data, and the accompanying staff officer quickly put on the order.

The artillerymen who received the order quickly began to adjust the gun mounts. In just a blink of an eye, the elevation angle was adjusted, and then they burned the match, ignited and fired. They had already loaded the cannon shells, and everything was waiting for the order and shooting of Zhu Yuan.

boom!

Hundreds of neatly arranged cannons of different calibers flashed through the fire, and shells of different weights passed high over the heads of the spearmen and musketeers, drawing a beautiful parabola, and landed heavily on the ground.

Among the Jurchen cavalry charging in groups.

Li Yuyu, who was standing in the spear phalanx, and Li Tao, who was in the musketeer battle line, raised their heads and looked at the countless lead bullets. Different lights flashed in their eyes, intoxicated, proud, bloodthirsty, with various meanings.
Chapter completed!
