Hejian Province, Renqiu County.

On the dense tent of the Qing army, there are flags with white edges and red inside, and one of the largest woven gold dragon baskets is extremely conspicuous.

Outside the luxurious tent of the Chinese army, the most elite Bayala soldiers of the Eight Banners Army are distributed, and they are seriously patrolling around to protect the noble master in the tent.

In the big tent, Yue Tuo, the owner of the red flag inlay, was celebrating happily with more than a dozen Qing army generals.

Deputy General Du Du suddenly said: "General Yangwu, wouldn't it be bad if we didn't help Prince Zheng?" ”

A few days ago, Prince Zheng Jierharang sent someone to inform Yue Tuo, asking him to go to Anzhou to encircle the Xuan Ming army, and take Baoding Mansion in one fell swoop after annihilation, Yue Tuo politely refused him.

Yue Tuo said disdainfully: "A deposed military department is just a scholar, what is there to kill?" Prince Zheng took the surname Lu too seriously, and mobilized 30,000 troops to besiege him, which is really inexplicable! ”

Yue Tuo was very unhappy in his heart, obviously he was the commander of the right-wing army, and the old man Zierharang always relied on his seniority and high title to not take him seriously, which made him very unhappy.

However, it is not happy, it is not happy, he is Prince Heshuo Zheng, and his father has the same status, so he should always cooperate, Yue Tuo had to transfer his Eight Banners Mongolia and Eight Banners Han Army to Zierharang, and he led five thousand Manchurian soldiers with red flags to hold their troops and preserve their strength.

The deputy general Du Du secretly scolded the old fox, and didn't say more, he was a white flag man, and Dolgon wore a pair of pants, and Huang Taiji arranged for his deputy Yue Tuo to have the meaning of checking and balancing the red flag.

I only heard Yue Tuo say again: "Lu Xiangsheng and that Sun Chengzong are both virtuous, if they can surrender to my Qing Dynasty, they can still have a chance to show their abilities, in the Ming Kingdom, hehe!" ”

The generals laughed and said, "General Yangwu is wise!" ”

Suddenly, Yue Tuo asked, "Where are the people who went to Gaoyang?" Why haven't you come back yet? ”

Du Du smiled: "It should be playing wild, a few days late." ”

The big tent was suddenly lifted, and a Qing soldier scouted the horse and said in horror: "Tell General Yangwu and Anping Baylor that a large number of Ming troops have been found five miles away!" ”

Yue Tuo said angrily: "Five miles away? What about the horses that go out? Why did the dog report when he arrived at the door? ”

"Back to General Yangwu, all the probes we scattered have disappeared......"

The generals in the tent looked at each other, when did the Ming army become so powerful if they didn't collect it at night?

Anping Beledudu coughed and said, "How many people are coming from the Ming army?" ”

Tanma replied: "There are about 10,000 people, and Tanma comes from all sides, like ....... It's like you're going to besiege us......."

Yue Tuo laughed and said, "Joke! More than 10,000 dogs want to besiege me 5,000 Red Flag Warriors? ”

"This Ming army is really daring! How dare you surround us? ”

"General Yangwu, give the order, let our warriors with red flags crush them!"

“......”

The generals of the Qing army in the tent roared angrily, expressing the anger in their hearts.

Yue Tuo swept to the generals and said: "I have eaten enough, and the generals will listen to the order and sweep away this Ming army in one fell swoop!" ”

.......

Outside the camp of the Qing army with the red flag, the 5,000-day martial army plus 5,000 heavy soldiers totaled 10,000 people, divided into four divisions, southeast, northwest and northwest, to besiege the Qing army on all sides, and the distance between each department was 300 steps.

Mao Yuanyi commanded the baggage soldiers to put the grain truck in front, acting as a simple car battalion, to prevent the Qing cavalry from charging and breaking through, his purpose is very clear, to wipe out one of the eight banners of the red flag, let it be completely removed!

On a makeshift command platform, Yue Tuo said with a grim smile: "General Ben is really curious, who is the commander of this Ming army, and he is in such a hurry to come to his death!" ”

Anping Beledudu said with a smile: "No matter who he is, the 5,000 men and horses in my camp are the most elite Manchurian warriors, and more than half of them are cavalry, even if 50,000 Ming troops come to besiege it, it is in vain, but they will be scattered and slaughtered!" ”

Yue Tuo reclined on his chair and said boredly: "If the warriors are ready, give the order to attack, and arrest the commander of the Ming army as soon as possible for me to see!" ”

Du Du also smiled, and then ordered a cavalry of Jiala to go out first, break through from the western front, and transfer a thousand infantry to follow behind the cavalry, rush up, and defeat the Ming army on the western front in one fell swoop, so that the entire Ming army collapsed.

Not long after the Qing cavalry was dispatched, a large amount of smoke immediately appeared on the battlefield on the Western Front, followed by a loud noise, and the artillery of the Tianwu Army unceremoniously began to greet the Qing cavalry.

Each regiment of the Tianwu Army has an artillery unit of 100 men, equipped with more than 20 artillery pieces, and one brigade and three combat regiments have a total of more than 60 guns.

Although they are all Franc cannons, the firepower is quite impressive, and the most important thing is that the Franc cannon has a fast rate of fire, much faster than the Hongyi cannon.

The artillery defending the Western Front saw the Tartars rushing over, and after calculating the distance, they immediately ordered the artillery to be fired.

In the roar of artillery, the cavalry with red flags was beaten to the ground, flesh and blood flew everywhere, countless casualties were killed, and the Manchurian soldiers cried for their fathers and mothers.

When the cavalry of the Qing army approached the distance of 100 paces of the Tianwu army, Mao Yuanyi ordered the musket array to fire in four rows.

The musket array commanded by Mao Yuanyi was not a rectangular musket formation laid out by the Tianwu Army in the past, but a four-row goose-shaped formation, and the troop configuration was like a geese flying over diagonally, so as to give full play to the power of the firing arms.

The goose-shaped array covers a larger area than the rectangular array, which is most suitable for encircling the enemy, but the disadvantage is that the charging ability is poor, and it is easy to disrupt the whole army after being broken through.

Mao Yuanyi knew that from ancient times to the present, it was mainly white-knuckle warfare, and this kind of goose-shaped formation was rarely used, but he knew very well that the goose-shaped formation was most suitable for this kind of fire-gun array, and it was more suitable for a disciplined army like the Tianwu Army.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army was menacing, Mao Yuanyi waved the command flag and commanded the two wings of the goose-shaped array to shrink, so that the cavalry of the Qing army charging in a conical formation was sandwiched between the two wings of the goose-shaped array, and was hit by fire from three sides at the same time.

Under the fire of the secret book of the Tianwu Army, the cavalry of the Qing army was laid down in rows, with countless casualties.

Hundreds of cavalry with red flags finally rushed to the distance of only fifty or sixty steps from the Tianwu Army, and when they were replaced by the metric system, it was only less than a hundred meters, and it seemed that they could break through in an instant, but it was extremely difficult to take a step forward.

Although the Tartars had suffered a major blow and even began to doubt their lives, many of the cavalrymen had become accustomed to shooting their bows and arrows.

For a while, the sound of arrows breaking through the air was mixed with the sound of gunfire, and hundreds of feathered arrows formed a rain of arrows and fell towards the Tianwu Army's array, which was also the first time that the warriors with red flags launched a lethal attack on the Tianwu Army.

However, this belated attack was not good, and many of the arrows that were thrown from the rain hit the soldiers of the Tianwu Army, but the soldiers of the Tianwu Army were all wearing eight-petal hats and iron-pointed helmets, and each of them was wearing at least two layers of armor, and they still did not panic after being shot.

Some of the unlucky soldiers were shot into weakly defended arms and other places, and the more seriously injured were carried down by the medics for treatment.

When the cavalry approached the distance of about thirty paces of the Tianwu Army, there were only three or four hundred horses left of more than 1,000 horses, and at this time, the musketeers of the Tianwu Army also stopped firing and threw grenades at the enemy's cavalry.

After a series of explosions, there were only less than 100 cavalry left, and these dozens of horsemen and horses failed to storm the formation of the Tianwu Army, and were blocked by the grain trucks in front of the formation.
