The Tianwu army did not arrive in advance to dig trenches and build dirt bags, because it was an appointment battle, Zhu Cihong was ready to come to a frontal fight, and he called Grandpa Jierharang.

On the contrary, the Qing army prepared on the spot, and seemed to attach great importance to this gambling battle of the grandfather and grandson game, and the beyler beers of the Eight Banners seemed a little nervous.

Zhu Cihong was not so complicated, he still used a conventional formation to deal with the Tartars, with artillery in front, infantry in the center, and cavalry on two wings, waiting to charge and prevent the Qing cavalry from attacking from both wings.

In this battle, the Tianwu Army dispatched a total of 20,000 horses, plus the only remaining more than 1,000 soldiers of the Tianxiong Army, and the remaining 10,000 horses of the Tianwu Army guarded the baggage and attacked the Qing army camp respectively, and took back their plundered grain, grass and baggage.

At this time, Jilharang had already received the news, and learned that the Tianwu Army was rushing towards him, to say that Jierharang was not afraid, it was impossible, and in the face of an opponent who could wipe out the red flag, this pressure was really not small.

Especially in the past month, the Tianwu Army has defeated the Eight Banner warriors in Beizhili many times in a row, and the Eight Banners Army south of Baoding Mansion have been beaten by them and fled north, or entered the Shandong territory and closed the two white flags of Dolgon.

But these are all rumors after all, Jierharang did not see the combat effectiveness of the Tianwu Army with his own eyes, and he was a little skeptical, he was dignified and Prince Shuo Zheng of the Qing Kingdom, he couldn't run away without fighting, how embarrassing it was!

In this battle, there was also a grandfather and grandson bureau, and Zilharang also came prepared, especially when he learned that there were not many people on the other side, he felt a little bottom in his heart.

When the distance between the two sides was two miles, Zilharang didn't want to comment on the formation of the Tianwu Army, so without saying a word, he immediately transferred 3,000 men and horses of the Eight Banners Han Army to attack the middle of the Tianwu Army.

When the Qing army had just launched an attack, Zhou Yuji immediately ordered: "Open the cannon!" ”

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......."

Hundreds of Hongyi cannons of the Royal Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Tianwu Army opened fire together, spewing out lightning-like tongues of fire and a thunderous roar, firing out the shells in the cannon chamber violently and smashing into the Qing army's horse team.

The artillery array of the Tianwu Army was divided into three parts, the middle artillery array was in the direct firing method, and the artillery array on the two wings was cross-fired at an oblique angle, so that the entire attacking team of the Qing army was controlled within the range of the artillery.

In the first round of artillery bombardment, the Qing cavalry immediately screamed, and nearly a thousand lives were harvested in an instant.

Just as the Royal Heavy Artillery Brigade was preparing to carry out the second round of platoon artillery killing, the remaining Qing cavalry had already turned around and ran away, and their movements were extremely neat, as if they had been professionally trained.

"Hahaha!" There was a burst of ridicule from the Tianwu Army.

This round of artillery bombardment ability surprised Zilharang and several Belle Bezi, Rao is Zilharang was prepared, and he had also heard that the Tianwu army was good at using firearms, and it was very sharp, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he knew that this was true.

Zilharang ordered: "Retreat three miles!" ”

Seeing that the Qing army was retreating, but the formation was not chaotic, Zhou Yuji immediately ordered: "The whole army marches in formation!" ”

The horizontal array of the Tianwu Army pushed towards the Qing army as a whole, because of the movement of the artillery, the recommended speed of the Tianwu Army was not fast, and every time they advanced a distance, they would stop and sort out their own queues, and then they would continue to advance.

However, the distance between the two sides is only two miles at most, and no matter how slow the Tianwu army advances, it will also push up and get close to the range of artillery, unless the Qing army keeps retreating, or completely retreats.

Seeing this, Zilharang frowned, and ordered again: "Continue to retreat for three miles!" ”

The Tianwu Army was still marching in formation, but the speed was somewhat accelerated, however, a large number of cavalry of the Qing Army suddenly turned their horses and charged towards the Tianwu Army formation.

"Stop moving forward and meet the enemy!"

After Zhou Yuji's order was issued, the artillery of the Tianwu Army quickly loaded the artillery, and the various units began to prepare for a counterattack.

However, the cavalry of the Qing army turned around from both flanks when they were one mile away from the Tianwu army's formation, and although several large-caliber Hongyi cannons killed some, the Qing army's losses were limited.

Zhu Cihong felt that something was wrong, this Jierharang wanted to play the routine of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed and disturbing me, and the enemy tired and I fighting, the most important thing is that this greatly consumes the number of artillery shots of the Tianwu Army.

This tactic Zhu Cihong routined Abatai and Yanguli during the Battle of Xincheng, and made them half dead, how could he be tricked by the Tartars?

Just as Zhu Cihong was about to give the order, Zhou Yuji also realized it, and he ordered three musket formations to open the way, and the artillery array divisions were on both flanks of the musket array, marching in a mixed manner.

Zhu Cihong nodded secretly, this method is good, even if the Qing cavalry comes to harass again, the artillery does not have to be so nervous to meet the enemy, as long as the musket array is fired a few rounds, the Qing cavalry who came to disturb will be rested.

Next, the Qing army retreated again, the Tianwu army advanced again, and the Qing cavalry attacked again.

The Qing cavalry who came to attack were a little stunned, and according to the order of the prince, as long as they ran to a mile away from the Ming army, let the Ming army stop forming a formation and firing artillery or pursuit, they could complete the task and turn back.

But the current situation is that the Ming army does not stop at all, and people's artillery is not loaded at all, how can this be good?

A Niu Lu Zhangjing rushed forward with his three hundred cavalry for a long distance, wanting to see how the Ming army coped with it, and by the way, to test his luck today.

When he was a hundred steps away from the Tianwu Army, this Niu Lu Zhangjing was still showing off his equestrian skills on the galloping horse, and he suddenly took off his hands and turned the horse's neck around, and his body returned to the saddle, looking very good.

But just as he was about to run, bad luck came, and he was taken care of by thousands of people in a musket array of the Tianwu Army, and he was instantly beaten into a sieve, like a human-shaped hornet's nest.

Not only him, but the hundreds of people under this excellent Niu Lu Zhangjing, under the sudden rounds of firecrackers, fell to the ground one by one, and only a few characters were particularly hard to avoid the rain of bullets, and successfully showed off their snakeskin equestrian skills and returned to the Qing army.

However, the faces of the lucky ones were already pale and terrible, and they couldn't help but tremble, and they were expected to have nightmares at night.

Seeing this, Zilharang's face twitched slightly, and he said, "Continue to retreat for three miles!" ”

After a short time, several Tianwu army dragons followed closely at night, following behind the Qing army brigade, and laughed loudly in Manchu: "Ji'er Harang, what are you running?" Do you admit that you are a grandson? ”

Fulton, the eldest son of Zilharang, shouted: "Amma, you see the arrogance of the Ming army, let's fight back!" As the saying goes, surprise ......."

Zilharang's face was gloomy, and he shouted, "You Ama and I still need you to teach me to fight?" ”

Zilharang said: "The cavalry of my Eight Banners Army is good at running and melee fighting, this Ming army firearms are sharp, we need to play to our strengths and avoid weaknesses, they put up a good battle formation, our army is not fighting, and when they march, our army is putting on an attack really, they have to form a formation again to meet the battle, so repeatedly, the Ming army must be tired, our army will take the opportunity to attack, it will not take long, this king can play to the death of the Ming army, and they will be scattered like dogs!" ”

When everyone in the Eight Banners heard this, they all admired Prince Zheng Jierharang, but they didn't expect that Prince Zheng not only studied "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" well, but also studied other military books, and he deserved to be the pillar of my Great Qing Dynasty!
