"Yukun Dulun Khan, Qibeile has killed Wang Wei, the chief soldier of Ming Ji Town, in a fierce battle!"

Sure enough, the Ming army brigade had already evacuated Liaoshen in accordance with the contract, and this attack was just an unauthorized act of Jizhou's soldiers and horses.

Nurhachi looked at the human head in the box and sneered:

"It's a pity, it's also a fierce general, following the little emperor, he died at a young age, and he was charged with acting without permission."

Fan Wencheng also smiled: "Great Khan, according to the minions' understanding of the Ming people, this news is transmitted back to the Jingshi, and the ministers in the court will not only not understand the merits of Wang Wei's death, but will also count his crimes, so that his children will not be able to raise their heads." ”

Nurhachi was noncommittal, holding the reins of the horse in one hand, walking at the forefront of the whole army, quite complacent in his heart, and said: "You are right, this is why the Great Khan's Dajin can win a hundred battles in Liaodong!" ”

With that, he suddenly stopped his horse and looked around warily.

"Where is this?"

Not far away, he galloped back, turned over and dismounted, knelt on his knees and said: "Yu Kundulun Khan, there is the Weining camp ahead, there is no bridge over the Taizi River, and the water is very urgent!" ”

"Strange, when I came, I vaguely remembered that there was a bridge over the Taizi River..."Fan Wencheng frowned and muttered to himself, as if he was trying his best to recall something.

Nurhachi did not doubt it at all, and waved his hand:

"Maybe it was demolished by some rioters, but the bridge was not built, this time we will build a solid bridge across the river for the next time we can cross the river!"

Nurhachi actually took this contract seriously at all, and was already thinking about when to tear up the contract and come to the Liaoshen area to loot.

There are several kinds of bridges, and the pontoon bridges for the army to pass temporarily are convenient and simple, and most of the troops will choose to build this kind of pontoon bridge when crossing the river.

What Nurhachi is going to build this time is a permanent bridge across the river, and it usually takes several days from collecting raw materials to starting to build it.

Fan Wencheng thought of this and said:

"Great Khan, it will take a few days to build the bridge, will it delay the trip too much?"

Nurhachi was optimistic about the surrounding situation, so he continued to ride his horse forward, and said with a smile: "Yanguli defeated the Ming army, we are just waiting for him to come back here, to catch the wind and wash the dust for him, and reward the three armies!" ”

"Build the bridge this time, and come to Liaoshen after a while, my Eight Banners Iron Horse will be able to come and go like the wind!"

Fan Wencheng saw that Nurha's intentions were already there, so he didn't plan to persuade him anymore, and complimented: "The Great Khan is wise and wise, and the minions can't do it!" ”

Nurhachi is in a good mood now, and he laughs when he hears this.

At the sound of an order, the Houjin army stopped on the bank of the Taizi River, began to cut trees along the way to collect raw materials, and summoned those Liao carpenters from the army to prepare to build bridges.

Zhu Xieyuan rode on a horse and stood on a hillside in the distance, behind him were the soldiers of the Governor Battalion, and the Ningxia town soldiers who were used as reserves.

Due to the rapid march of the Ming army to Weining, the preparations in advance were extremely sufficient, and Zhu Xieyuan was full of all kinds of accompanying artillery, among which the most powerful was the suppression cannon imitated by the Ordnance Department according to the shipborne guns of the Dutch fleet.

The Daming Naval Division had already suffered from the Dutch artillery in the Battle of Penghu, and now it was the turn of the Jurchens in Liaodong to try it.

After yesterday's investigation, Zhu Xieyuan chose a place with an extremely wide field of vision, standing here, he could see the movements of Nurhachi's army clearly.

It is clear that Nurhachi chose to cross the river by bridge.

The corners of Zhu Xieyuan's mouth curled up slightly, in this way, the three armies came out together, and the slave army was caught off guard, and his chances of victory were greater.

The guns in the back were surrounded by boxes of projectiles, and when the gunners saw that the cavalry of the Governor's battalion was coming on horseback, they hurriedly took out the first round of projectiles and prepared to fill them.

"The superintendent has an order, and the artillery battalion is ready!"

"The blue flag fills the cannon, the red flag fires..."The gunners silently recited the guidelines of the drill in their hearts, while staring closely at the flag bearers on the slope. It's easy

The order was delivered, and the artillery battalion was the first to get busy.

Zhu Xieyuan watched the Houjin army busy working back and forth by the Taizi River, and waited until the scattered sentry horses were about to come to his side, and then waved his hand slightly.

Seeing the order, the standard-bearer of the Inspector Battalion immediately waved a series of small blue flags.

The gunners had been waiting for a long time, filling the shells at the same time as they saw the blue flag, and then waiting for the red flag to wave down, and immediately ignited the twist.

"Bang bang bang-"

"Boom!!"

A new type of captive cannon poured tongues of fire into the sky, and dense scattered bullets poured down like a torrential rain, splashing among the Houjin troops crowded by the Taizi River.

For a time, the almost unprepared Houjin soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties.

The cannonballs in the sky were like a sudden downpour, falling between the Houjin troops, smashing into small pits with flesh and blood.

Nurhachi was shocked to hear that he had been attacked, and he couldn't believe it.

He looked at the situation that had deteriorated in an instant, and shouted hysterically, he really didn't understand, what were the sentry horses scattered for, the other party had fired cannons, and they hadn't returned yet!

At this time, Nurhachi discovered the danger near the Taizi River.

Build a bridge to cross the river, all the soldiers and horses are gathered on both sides of the riverbank, a burst of shelling, this is simply a dead land, people next to people, horses on top of horses, there is no way to run, there is no way to avoid!

The Ming army chose to ambush here, and it was obviously carefully arranged!

Many brave and warlike Jurchen cavalrymen could only watch as the dense flowering bullets in the sky smashed down, breaking their heads and bleeding.

Even the Eight Banners heavy armored foot soldiers with a large shield in their hands are vulnerable when facing the cannonballs in the sky, no different from a newborn child.

Whether it is the Jurchen armor soldiers or the cannon fodder forcibly recruited, they can only scream and flee for their lives, because they haven't even seen the shadow of the Ming army!

The ground shook, and the artillery in the distance still roared.

The Houjin army suffered successive casualties, and many people were frightened by such a fierce artillery attack, and for a moment the formation was in chaos.

At this time, flags were raised on the southern slopes.

They carried the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and the first general wearing the armor of the chief soldier officer brandished a goose wing knife, leading his own soldiers to take the lead, and they were like a broken bamboo into the Houjin army.

This is Zhang Wanbang, who was originally ambushed in the south, and led his Datong border army.

In the midst of the shouts of killing, countless firecrackers with firearms suddenly appeared on the slopes on all sides, and there was a volley of guns on the flanks of the Houjin army.

Wang Rujin, the chief soldier of Ningxia Town, saw that the power of the town's cannon was so sharp, and he seemed extremely brave, he rode on a horse with a saber in his hand, and shouted:

"Brothers, follow Ben Shuai to kill all these Jian Nu!"

"Kill!"

The Ming army, which was still in ambush, rushed out from all sides like a tide, and Li Hongji was equipped with rare horses because he was a family member.

Li Hongji followed behind the chief soldier Wang Rujin, rushed left and right, and slaughtered in all directions in the Houjin army, and soon cut off the heads of four or five true tartars, and then looked at a Jurchen Baylor who was also slashing the Ming army.

This person's costume is very gorgeous, and he is so brave, he must be a general!

With such thoughts, Li Hongji rolled his eyes, directly separated from Wang Rujin's side, rode alone, and rushed towards the Jurchen Baylor.

On the other side, Li Guo was also holding a standard official knife, competing with a Jurchen infantry armor.
