The flag of the Chinese army was waved, and He Shixian's troops were ordered to retreat 2 miles to the north. Therefore, the Ming army's formation changed from the Crane Wing Formation with two prominent wings to the Wild Goose Formation with the Chinese Army slightly protruding.
It is very similar to the formation of the Beiyang Navy in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894.
Zhu Youxiao's eyes flashed with a confident smile, and he sneered at the hillside opposite: "The future cannot be left to you, those who are experts in civil war and outsiders."
Then to Zhang Quan, Qi Jin ordered: "The army rests where it is, and the artillery keeps staring at the enemy's position."
"Clang clang clang clang!"
The Ming army suddenly sounded their gongs loudly. The enemy in the center could hear the gongs from a distance. After a while, the gongs sounded on both wings, and the gongs clanged throughout the valley.
"Whenever a gong is played, each soldier must sit on the ground to rest."
Nurhachi shook his head and walked out of the camp. He was too familiar with the Ming army's drum and trumpet orders.
"Father Khan." Daishan, Mang Gurtai, and Huang Taiji surrounded him. They all heard the Ming army beating gongs and waited for the Khan to personally deal with it.
"This little emperor dared to let He Shixian lead the cavalry to retreat, and also directly asked the Ming army to sit down and rest... Hahahaha! This is really brave."
Those hot shells smashed into the Zhenghongqi and Ming army formations head-on. The victims, no matter whether they were the heavily armored Bagara or the Ming army cannon fodder in cotton-padded clothes, were all blown to pieces.
The west side of the battlefield is the key to this battle.
You can fight according to the enemy's will. In that battle, you still have to annihilate the Goryeo army and the blue flag cavalry first! Pass your order, set up yellow flags, set up red flags, Han army and Ming army and the enemy's center army, fight in the low ground! With white flag,
I will fish out Qiao Zhuqi for you!"
Nurhaci pointed at Mang He Shixian, "In my heart, I haven't given up on appointing my favorite son to succeed him. It only saves me little face."
"Side car! Artillery! Fight back with all your strength!"
When Qiao Zhu saw the red flag, he told us to fight back immediately, but where should we fight?
The main gun fired the first shell, and then the first gunner immediately unloaded the finished sub-cannon. The other gunner picked up another sub-cannon and put it tightly under the main cannon. He waved his hand before confirming the error, and the gunner immediately
He put the match rope under the sub-cannon, and another cannonball flew out. The bombardment continued, and eight cannonballs were fired in a row.
"Indeed, if he hadn't been brave, he wouldn't have brought this small number of people into the grassland, and he wouldn't have dared to fight us without having an advantage in numbers." Dai Shan also said that he had long felt that the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not brave.
Generally large.
"He is good at fighting. If you add the Zhengbai Banner, he will be evenly matched with the 17,000 soldiers like me. But your original plan was not to personally lead the Zhenghuang Banner and kill Qiao Zhuqi with them, and then kill Qiao Zhuqi's 2,000 servants and 5,000 cavalry on his flanks.
Eliminate them all. Now that plan is indeed feasible."
"Mother-and-substance artillery!" The Shenji Battalion of the Underground Expeditionary Corps deployed 70 Franco-Multiple Artillery cannons. Those rapid-fire artillery gave the enemy a taste of the terrifying power of the continuous barrage with its low rate of fire on the grassland. They have long been waiting for Jiannu and others.
The hunger and thirst are unbearable.
The weak northwest wind in winter blew away the small cloud of gunpowder smoke and blew it up from the bottom of the mountain. Instead, it blocked Jiannu's view of observing the blue flag in the lowlands.
After hearing this, Manghe Shixian thought it was a good idea to boost my popularity. He was about to speak sarcastically, but saw Nurhachi nodding.
"Yes, the emperor hid the cavalry from the side and rear to the side and front, which is indeed a clever move to protect the cavalry. Qiao Zhuqi of the Blue Banner is quite elite. I have 2,000 servants, and his Zhenggoryeo may not be able to defeat him.
"
The gunners were shouting in their hearts that the northwest wind has always been with us. The blue flag sitting north and facing south left a small circle, and the reason why we chose that position for the decisive battle was actually not occupying the downwind.
Those important national weapons built by craftsmen who came from Fujian had little effect on the grasslands. Now they were the first to spit out angry flames, allowing Jiannu to taste their power.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Swish, swish, swish!" Xiao Ming's sidecar shot out rocket-propelled crossbow arrows without gunpowder and explosives and shot down to the low ground. However, the accuracy was too poor, and the explosive power of white gunpowder was not limited, so he aimed again and again.
Noisy, those rockets didn't hit many blue flags and didn't perform at their best.
"He wants to be the Yingzong of Tumubao? Hahahahaha!" Mang Gurtai laughed, already looking down on the little emperor Tianqi in his heart.
"Wind! Wind! Wind!"
"It has a very long range." Daishan, who was holding the red flag behind him, shrank in fear, but immediately stood up and shouted: "The heavy artillery reloads very quickly. After the attack, it was too slow to fire after the attack."
!”
However, Huang Taiji said indifferently: "Every time you have a small battle, you first concentrate your forces to annihilate the Ming cavalry, and then deal with Fang Cong's defensive infantry. That time, I'm afraid there is a way to destroy the cavalry first, and then besiege.
The enemy is maneuvering to counterattack."
The four-banner soldiers holding the red flag slowed down their pace and urged the Ming army's artillery, sidecars and gunners to move slowly back and get back into range as soon as possible to end the exchange of fire with Qiao Zhu.
...
I pointed to the blue flag center at the back and said: "That vehicle formation is very strong and it's under the ice. The cavalry just said that even the infantry are bad at running and charging, so I dare you to besiege us."
"Father Khan, why don't you kill Qiao Zhuqi and the cavalry first?"
Through the gunpowder smoke, I could see the specific location of Qinglan Banner's low ground. I ran two places back from the starting point. I could only rely on experience and feeling to fight back blindly under the low ground.
When I said that, the atmosphere was the same as the one that later disparaged Tianqi. Except for Nurhachi, no one's expressions changed slightly.
Each of those heavy artillery had to be pulled by 4 oxen. After the blue flag, it only moved 60 meters a day. In addition to the reason for setting up a stable camp to guard against enemy attacks, the reason why those heavy artillery retreated slowly was also one of the reasons.
"Let go!" The 16 small Luzon bronze cannons in the low ground were the first to roar. Amidst the huge roar, the hot shells fell into the formation of the slaves one by one, stagnating the enemy's formation. Especially those riding on the ground.
The heavily armored Baya Lajia soldiers under the low Xiao Bailongjiang war horse were thrown off from the horse and killed, making the surrounding enemies tremble with fear.
Almost all of the enemy's troops were heavily armored. This was the first time many southern soldiers had seen this terrifying formation, and they felt a little relieved. However, the rumble of blue flags and cannon blasted away all their strength.
However, due to the continuous firing of artillery in the low ground, a small piece of unburned white gunpowder smoke rose up and covered the blue flag's field of vision. For a while, it was impossible to observe the enemy's position and could only fire according to the preset area.
Every Blue Flag present saw the colorful enemy flags and armors coming towards Blue Flag in a mighty manner.
The small army of the Four Banners launched a retreat, and the Battle of the Glacier officially broke out.
Daishan could see the effect through the gunpowder smoke. Anyway, the task over there was to stop the blue flag.
"yes!"
"Bad! Bad!"
Huang Taiji, however, had a very serious expression. He hesitated for a while before saying, "The emperor's move to withdraw the Koryo army's cavalry was actually a very clever move."
I saw only the white flag, the Korean flag, making an arc to the northwest to outflank the Koryo army's cavalry; the yellow flag, pushing the shield cart, to push back the blue flag center army at Qinghekou; the red flag, the Han army and the Ming army in the east
Push back towards the lowlands north of the Liaohe River.
