"Hey!" Li Zicheng gently shouted and held Qingyao Ma under his crotch.
Song Xiance, Gu Junen, Ma Bao and other generals of the Dashun Army who were accompanying him also reined in their horses and stopped, and the Dashun cavalry behind them immediately spread out towards the two wings.
Soon, 30,000 Dashun cavalry formed a huge cavalry horizontal formation.
However, Li Zicheng raised the monocular telescope he bought from Nanjing for a lot of money and pointed it at the north bank of Tonghui River.
Generals such as Song Xiance, Gu Junen and Ma Bao could only watch with the naked eye. Fortunately, the birch forest in this area had been cut down by the Ming army and Jiannu, so the view was very good.
Across the Tonghui River, you can have a panoramic view of the Ming army and Jiannu's formation.
Judging from the formation alone, the Ming army's one-word long snake formation is undoubtedly extremely thin, giving people the illusion of collapse at the first touch, as if Jiannu can be defeated with just one charge.
Song Xiance couldn't help but said: "Is Chongzhen stupid? He actually put up such a thin long snake formation? Once the Chinese army is overrun by Jiannu, won't it be all over?"
"I still have the nerve to say that Meishan has enlightened me."
"Is this what Meishan has achieved through enlightenment?"
After a pause, Song Xiance continued: "Your Majesty, it seems that our Dashun Army will not be able to survive unless our Dashun Army takes action. If our Dashun Army does not take action, the Ming Army will definitely be defeated in this battle, and Chongzhen will also be enslaved."
If this is the case, the entire Southern Ming Dynasty may surrender to Jiannu, which will be detrimental to our great success, so we must not leave it alone."
Gu Junen subconsciously wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute Song Xiance.
Because Gu Junen couldn't understand the formation put up by the Ming army. Is this looking for death?
Li Zicheng was also a little worried after being told that. He frowned and said, "But it's not easy to support the Ming army."
Ma Bao also said: "Yes, our scout cavalry has already conducted reconnaissance. There is only the Bali Bridge across the Tonghui River nearby, but now the Bali Bridge has been blocked by Jiannu, and it will be difficult for us to kill it."
"It's true." Song Xiance sighed, "I should have known I would have brought some camel cannons here."
At this time, Gu Junen finally spoke: "The reason why the Ming army dared to put up such a formation must be relying on something. Our Dashun army can just wait and see what happens."
"Reliance? How can we rely on it?" Song Xiance curled his lips and said, "It's just stupid."
After a pause, Song Xian continued: "The formation set up by the Ming army will not only put the Chinese army in a dilemma after being attacked by the Jiannu, but what is even more troublesome is that once the Jiannu in Beijing come from behind,
If we attack from a flank, the Ming army will immediately fall into a desperate situation, surrounded by enemies from both sides, and it will be difficult for gods to save them."
As if to confirm Song Xiance's words, a military general suddenly pointed to the northwest and shouted.
"Look, look behind the Ming army! There is smoke and dust, it seems like a large army is approaching!"
Li Zicheng, Song Xiance, Gu Junen, Ma Bao and others all turned their attention to the northwest.
But I saw smoke and dust rising into the air on both sides of the official road about five or six miles behind the Ming army.
Song Xiance and the others couldn't see clearly, but Li Zicheng could see clearly with the help of a telescope. They were a group of elite slave cavalry wearing hard-wearing armor, and there were a lot of them.
"Your Majesty, are these the Jiannu or the Ming army?" Song Xiance asked anxiously.
"Jiannu!" Li Zicheng said with a dark face, "Judging from the style of the armor and the flag, it should be a straight white flag and cavalry with white flags. There are quite a few, at least 20,000 cavalry!"
"What did I say? What did I say?"
Song Xiance immediately became anxious when he heard this. He clapped his hands and said, "I will explain that the army will be attacked by Jiannu and will fall into a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides. Isn't this really like being attacked from both sides? Alas."
Gu Junen's expression was also very bad. Now the Ming army was really in big trouble.
Gu Junen did not want the Ming army to win, but he also did not want the Ming army to be defeated.
We don't even want the entire Ming army to be destroyed, and even Chongzhen to become a prisoner of Jiannu.
For the Dashun Army, the best result is that both the Ming Army and Jiannu will be killed.
At that moment, Gu Junen said: "Your Majesty, we must find a way to cross the river as soon as possible and block the two white flags behind us for the Ming army. Otherwise, this battle will not have to be fought. The Ming army will definitely be defeated, and the entire army will be destroyed!"
"It's too late, it's too late." Song Xiance looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's too late."
"Not necessarily." Gu Junen shook his head and said, "The Tonghui River is only five feet deep. You can directly cross the river by riding a horse."
"It can't be that easy." Song Xiance shook his head and said, "Although the Tonghui River is shallow, the silt is deep. If the troops and horses get stuck in it, they may not be able to move. At that time, they will only become living targets for the Ming army's muskets or the Jiannu slaves' bows."
After a pause, he continued: "Our army suddenly appeared here without notifying the Ming army in advance. Therefore, if we cross the river from the left wing at this time, we will most likely be attacked by the Ming army. If we cross the river from the right wing, we will most likely be attacked by the Ming army."
, will also be obstructed by the Jian Nu, and if you wade across the river in the middle, you may be attacked by the Ming army and the Jian Nu at the same time."
Gu Junen wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by Li Zicheng with a wave of his hand: "You don't need to say more, the right military advisor. What the great military advisor said is not wrong. At this time, it is too late for our army to participate in this war. Now our army
The only thing we can do is to stay south of Bali Bridge and wait and see what happens, and if the Ming army is really defeated, we can provide as much help as possible."
With a wave of his hand, 30,000 Dashun cavalry slowly pressed towards the south of Bali Bridge.
…
"General, the puppet cavalry is pressing towards Bali Bridge." An Eight Banners general reported.
"I saw it." Sony was unmoved at all and said, "A mere 20,000 to 30,000 pseudo-submissive cavalry are nothing to worry about. There are dozens of squatting tiger cannons blocking them, and they can't cross the bridge."
While he was talking, Ye Bilong suddenly shouted excitedly.
"General, look behind the Ming army. Are they our reinforcements?"
"Reinforcements?" Sony quickly raised his monocular and pointed it behind the Ming army's formation.
Just when Sony raised the telescope to observe, Suksaha had already seen it clearly and shouted excitedly: "It's the cavalry with two white flags. All two white flags are here! At least 20,000 cavalry!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, it's done now." Ye Bilong said overjoyed.
"With the 20,000 cavalrymen with two white flags attacking the Ming army from behind, our Qing army will definitely win this battle!"
An uncontrollable look of joy flashed across Sony's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Send flying cavalry to tell all the flags the good news that the two white flags are coming to help."
The next moment, dozens of fast horses galloped around.
After a while, the Qing army, which was slowly marching forward in formation, immediately cheered like a tsunami. Two white flags came to help, and they arrived on the battlefield at this juncture, which greatly boosted the confidence and confidence of all the Qing troops participating in the war.
morale.
The Eight Banners Han Army led by Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Monk Kexi also became energetic again.
Geng Jimao also lamented that it seemed that the national destiny was still in the Qing Dynasty, and Chongzhen actually made such a low-level mistake.
…
"Hush!" Baiyintu gently shouted, holding the horse under his crotch.
The two white flag cavalrymen following behind also reined in their horses and stopped.
In just a moment, all 20,000 cavalrymen under the two white flags stopped.
The location of the Baiyin Tu is right between the main formation of the Ming army's central army and the square formation of the 4th town. Therefore, you can see through the 200-step gap in the middle of the Ming army's formation that the opposite side is pushing the side carriage.
The Qing army approached with a chariot.
Since the two armies were still far apart, the artillery on both sides did not fire, and the battlefield was silent.
Baiyintu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said with a smile: "It seems that we arrived at the right time."
Hong Chengchou, who was riding a horse and standing behind Baiyin Tu, sighed in his heart. Is this too early?
If they suddenly come out from behind while the Ming army is fighting fiercely with the Sony army, there might be a chance.
But when we arrived at the battlefield and clearly told the Ming army to attack from both sides, did we really think that the Ming army were fools? Wouldn't the Ming army have prepared themselves in advance? If nothing else, the mine array alone was enough for the Qing army to drink.
Hong Chengchou still clearly remembers the great loss he suffered in Chenguantun.
However, it is very regrettable that this idiot Baiyintu does not believe it at all.
…
Hong Chengchou's worries were not unfounded.
Because the Ming army was really prepared to use mine formations to deal with Jiannu who was attacking from behind.
Just now, in addition to digging trenches in front of the long snake formation, the Ming army also buried more than 5,000 mines on the back of the Chinese army's main formation, creating a huge mine array.
In addition to the mine array, the 1st Mountain Artillery Brigade was also transferred to the Chinese Army.
Because it is enough for the 1st Town on the far right to have a field artillery brigade. If we add another 1st Mountain Artillery Brigade, the firepower will be a bit of a waste. It is better to second it to the Chinese Army's main formation.
Jiang Tianyi smiled and said: "Jiannu must be very proud at this time."
"You must be proud to have established a slave." Wang Jiayan said, "Being attacked from both sides is a taboo for military strategists."
Speaking of this meal, Wang Jiayan asked Chongzhen again: "Your Majesty, can our army really withstand the two-sided attack of Jiannu?"
"Wang Qing, don't worry, there will be no problem." Chongzhen said with a smile, "The cavalry coming from behind are the two white flags of Jiannu. These Eight Banners soldiers are not equipped with flintlock guns and camel cannons. They still use zanma knives and large swords.
It is impossible for a bow to pose a threat to our army's central hollow phalanx."
"Not to mention there are landmines." Jiang Tianyi said with a smile, "Building slaves will only lead to death."
"Send yourself to death? I'm afraid Jiang Gai's remonstrance has gone too far, right?" After all, Wang Jiayan never participated in the Battle of Dagukou, let alone the Great Victory of Hunhe River, so it's not surprising that he still has doubts about the Ming army's firearms.
However, Chongzhen and Jiang Tianyi are full of confidence, and there is no suspense in this battle.
Jiang Tianyi asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, at this stage, the war is already imminent. Even if Jiannu wants to give up midway, it is impossible. The Shenhuo artillery and the air force can launch an attack."
"Okay." Chongzhen nodded happily and said, "Let the air force take off first. As for the divine fire artillery, it's not too late to wait until Jiannu gets closer before launching. It's still a bit far away now."
Jiang Tianyi immediately shouted: "Send the order, the air force takes off!"
The 19 flying cars that had been prepared for a long time immediately took off.
