At this time, more than 400,000 Qing troops, including Lian Yong, had all passed Bali Bridge and set up a simple camp on the north side of Bali Bridge.
A wooden fence has been erected around the fort.
Behind the wooden fence, there is also a wall made of carriages and sidecars.
The arrow tower inside the camp and the Chinese army's watchtower have also been erected.
At this moment, Sony was taking Suk Saha, He Luohui and other Eight Banners generals to stand on the watchtower and look in the direction of Sansanlipu. Although they were seven or eight miles away, they could still get an overview with the help of telescopes.
The Ming army did not build fences like the Qing army, but was busy digging trenches.
In fact, the Qing army could also dig trenches and even build defensive gun towers like the Ming army.
But this would lead to a stalemate between the two sides, which the Qing army did not want to see.
"Haha, these cowards." Ye Bilong put down the telescope and said disdainfully, "Do you want to build another camp in Sansanlipu? You don't even think about it, our Qing soldiers will build a camp for them.
time?"
Suksaha also turned to Sony and said: "General, give the order to launch an attack."
"Yeah, it's better to attack now." He Luohui also said, "As time goes by, the Ming army may start building gun towers outside the camp. It will be troublesome when the Ming army builds the gun towers."
It can be said that He Luohui was very prepared to defend against the Ming army's cannons.
Fei Yangwu, Lan Bai and other Eight Banners generals also persuaded Sony to give the order.
All these Eight Banners generals suffered losses in Xuzhou and Dagu.
Sony also knew how powerful the Ming army's guns were and didn't want to drag it out any longer.
However, before launching an attack, there is a question that must be thought about first.
That is, what kind of offensive formation should be set up? If the arrow misses the formation, the moon formation will appear? Or should the tit-for-tat formation be the same as the Ming army's one-word long snake formation, and then push forward flatly?
At that moment, Sony asked the generals: "Why do you think the Ming army put up a long snake formation?"
"It's probably to take advantage of the firepower." He Luohui had fought with the Ming army many times, and he already had a certain understanding of the Ming army's firearms advantage. He continued, "The Ming army called this a line array."
"How can the firepower advantage of Gui La be compared to the big bow of our Eight Banners warriors?"
The person who said this was a reckless man, and he had never been severely beaten by the Ming army's firearms on the battlefield.
"That's right, let's concentrate our forces to attack the Ming army's central army. As long as the Ming army's central army is in chaos, the entire long snake formation will fall apart in an instant, and our Qing soldiers will win."
The person who said this is quite knowledgeable and knows the principle of catching the thief first.
"If you agree, we will attack the main center of the Ming Army. The Mongolian cavalry will protect the two wings. The Eight Banners Manchuria will attack the Ming Dog Center!"
The Eight Banners general who proposed this idea of establishing slaves was more thoughtful than the two people just now. He also thought of using the Mongolian cavalry to protect the two wings of the battlefield and gain space for the Eight Banners' Manchuria raid.
But Sony was not moved at all. Although he had not participated in the Battle of Hunhe, he understood the whole story of the Battle of Hunhe and knew that the firearms of the Ming army were no longer what they used to be.
If you directly use the Eight Banners Manchuria to attack the Ming army's central army, the chance of winning is very slim.
The final result can only be to use the most elite Eight Banners Manchurians as cannon fodder, which is absolutely not allowed.
Even if you want to raid the center of the Ming army, you have to wait until the Ming army is exhausted, or until the Ming army's artillery is too hot and hot due to long battles and can no longer fire. At that time, you can send troops to kill with one blow.
Before striking out with the fatal sword, all you need to do is exchange fire with the Ming army with their respective firearms.
At that moment, Sony issued a military order, and the 110,000 Eight-Banner Han Army and 40,000 Green Battalion soldiers formed a long snake formation from south to north with a front width similar to that of the Ming Army.
The Eight Banners Manchuria formed a formation immediately behind the Eight Banners Han Army, which could serve as the backing of the Eight Banners Han Army and as a supervisor to prevent the Eight Banners Han Army from retreating. The Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Mongolia were listed on the two wings behind the Eight Banners Manchuria. Once the Ming army came
If the cavalry attempts to attack from the flanks, it will provide flank protection for the formation.
Two hundred thousand trained warriors and civilian men were listed last.
The order was passed on quickly. Groups of Eight Banners Han troops with live ammunition, and groups of green battalion soldiers pushing red cannons, Fran machine guns or leading camels took the lead in leaving the camp and arrayed in the wilderness.
Accompanying the Eight Banners Han Army and the Green Camp soldiers, there were also a large number of sidecars.
The Ming army has eliminated all sidecars, but Jiannu has not yet been eliminated.
Following the Eight Banners Han Army and the Green Camp came out the Eight Banners Manchurians pushing a carriage.
Sony's central army stayed together with some of the elites from Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner. These elites were also Sony's trump card. They were prepared to wait until the critical moment to strike the most deadly sword at the Ming army's central army.
The Sony Chinese Army also has a movable observation tower, which is carried by hundreds of warriors.
…
At nearly 13:00, more than 400,000 Qing troops finally arranged their formation.
Surrounded by more than a dozen generals such as Ebilong and Suksaha, Sony came down to the observation deck.
The view from the observation deck is extremely broad. Not only can you have a panoramic view of the entire Qing army formation, but you can also see the Ming army formation six or seven miles ahead.
"Ming Gou still lacks experience in fighting." Suk Saha said suddenly, "Just now we didn't send out cavalry to attack, otherwise we wouldn't be able to form a formation so quickly."
"I can't see it." Ye Bilong shook his head and said.
"The Ming army did not send out cavalry to harass them because they knew it would be useless."
Sony ignored the dispute between the two and shouted in a deep voice: "The big banner sends the order, the whole army advances!"
A Bagala who was guarding Sony immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "The big banner sends the order, the whole army advances!"
Several red-armored soldiers on one side of the watchtower immediately brought down Sony's "Flag of General Dingguo" and pointed it at an oblique angle of 45 degrees to the Ming army formation ahead.
Almost at the same time, the sound of bull horns and the sound of war drums also mingled together.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With the endless sound of horns and war drums, the Qing army began to move forward slowly pushing carriages, sidecars and various cannons.
The towering observation tower was also slowly moved forward on the shoulders of hundreds of practitioners.
…
The Ming army's central formation also used felled birch trees to build a lookout.
Moreover, the height of the Ming Army's observation tower was eight feet, which was higher than that of Jiannu.
Therefore, the Ming army's observation deck has a better view and can see the troop formations of both sides more clearly.
"It seems that Jiannu is not that stupid." Jiang Tianyi pointed at the Jiannu formation slowly approaching in front and said with a smile, "He actually knows how to form a long snake formation."
"We can't underestimate him," Wang Jiayan said, "Jiannu's learning ability is still very strong."
Jiang Tianyi said: "However, the Jiannu slaves only learned the superficial knowledge and did not learn the essence. If they had learned the essence of using firearms, they should no longer carry burdens such as carriages and sidecars."
Wang Jiayan asked: "If Jiannu does not carry a carriage or a carriage, how can he protect the infantry?"
Jiang Tianyi said: "Of course we need to dig trenches. The protection of trenches is much better than that of carriages and carriages. The carriages and carriages cannot even withstand the bombardment of camel cannons, let alone mountain artillery and field artillery.
But even a 4-inch field gun can't do anything against the infantry hiding in the trenches."
Wang Jiayan added: "Digming trenches can only be used for defense. How to attack?"
Jiang Tianyi smiled and said: "Wang Budang's words are wrong. Trenches can also be used for offense, especially in Gyeonggi where the terrain is flat and the soil is extremely soft. Trenches can be dug to advance."
Wang Jiayan was stunned when he heard this. How could a war be fought like this?
Jiang Tianyi also learned and sold it now, and learned it from war chess deductions.
Chongzhen used soil work in a deduction, and Jiang Tianyi remembered it.
Chongzhen did not laugh at Jiang Tianyi, but carefully observed Jiannu's formation.
From the flags, clothing and weapons of the slaves, we can roughly distinguish the arms types.
The first team of this long snake formation is the Eight Banners Han Army plus the Green Battalion Artillery.
In the middle of the second team is the Central Army of Jiannu, and on the left and right are the Eight Banners Manchuria.
The third team is the cavalry, the left wing should be the Eight Banners Mongolia, and the right wing should be the Outer Mongolia.
The last ones who can't move well in a chaotic formation are probably Lian Yong and Min Fu.
Unfortunately, the number of cavalry is still not enough. The only cavalry town will be used to chase and annihilate Jiannu, so it cannot be used in the attack rashly. Otherwise, at this time, the cavalry will be used to roundabout and attack Lian Yong behind Jiannu.
, there is a great chance to defeat Lian Yong and then disrupt Jian Nu’s formation.
After this battle is over, a huge cavalry must be formed.
While Chongzhen was thinking, Gao Qiqian suddenly shouted: "Long live Lord, look to the south!"
"What's going on in the south?" Chongzhen heard the sound and turned to the south, but he saw billowing smoke and dust rising behind a birch forest on the south bank of the Tonghui River. Looking at this posture, he knew that a large army was marching.
Wang Jiayan said in a deep voice: "Are they reinforcements from Beijing to support the slave establishment?"
"But that's not right either." Jiang Tian said, "Why are the Jiannu reinforcements going to the south of Tonghui River?"
While the two were talking, a group of cavalry had already rushed out of the birch forest in the south. One of the horsemen was carrying a large flag on his shoulders. There seemed to be words embroidered on the flag?
Chongzhen immediately raised his telescope and pointed it at the flag.
I saw the word "Shun" embroidered on the flag.
"It's the hypocritical cavalry." Chongzhen laughed immediately.
"Li Zicheng's 30,000 cavalry also came to join in the fun."
"Is it the hypocritical cavalry?" Wang Jiayan's face changed slightly.
"Your Majesty, this is not a good thing for our army."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Tianyi said, "If the hypocritical cavalry wants to cross the Tonghui River, they can only take the Bali Bridge. But now the Bali Bridge is behind Jiannu, so it should be Jiannu who should have a headache."
"I'm afraid Jiannu won't have a headache from this," Chongzhen said.
"A dozen tiger squatting cannons and a small amount of training are enough to lock the Bali Bridge."
"Or just use gunpowder to blow up the Bali Bridge, and the puppet cavalry can only watch the excitement across the Tonghui River."
