The sky was dark, and the earth was shrouded in darkness.

A moment ago, the Han army ordered the city to extinguish the torches, suspend the artillery bombardment, the whole army was on standby, the city of Beining seemed to die suddenly, there was no response to the enemy's shouting, scolding, cold arrow sniping, for a time only the battlefield was left with the empty roar of the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition army, seeing this scene, the soldiers outside the city could not help but be taken aback, in order to resist this inexplicable fear, the cavalry under the officer's command, desperately approached the city wall, and shot a large number of rockets near the city wall, in an attempt to observe the defenders.

"Click......" several loud sounds, trebuchets fired, more than a dozen huge fireballs wrapped in pine resin were sent into the night sky, like brilliant fireworks, blooming brilliant fire points in mid-air, and then scattered, smashed into the open space outside the city, a wave of fire, the whole battlefield was instantly illuminated like day, with such a strong light, dozens of red-clothed cannons suddenly fired a salvo, and the group of soldiers who were close to firing arrows was suddenly blasted out of several flesh and blood channels, and the panicked war horses raised their heads desperately, dragging their masters to run back frantically, For a while, people shouted and neighed into a mess.

There is no drumbeat, no horn, no whistling and shouting, at this chaotic moment, the city gate quietly opened, seven thousand iron horsemen silently killed together, the roaring horses' hooves were like muffled thunder, the Han cavalry was like an angry wave out of the gate, the fierce array of the Korean coalition army swooped, at this moment the fire outside the city was raging, the rockets on the side of the city wall were scattered, and the cold cold light was reflected in the weapons and armor, the shelling of the city became more and more fierce, the red cannonballs screamed sharply in the air, and a long stream of fire was drawn in the night sky, like a meteor landing, Pointing out the direction of the assault for the army, the Manchurian rangers had just forced to the city, and suddenly found such a large group of enemy troops, all of them were frightened, and fled while whipping their horses and letting out desperate cries, but the Han army's forward immediately fired arrows in unison, and before they could touch their bodies, a violent rain of arrows shot the enemy into hedgehogs, and then the iron hooves fell, and the bones were turned into pulp.

The iron flow was rolling, straight forward, Ma Ying refused Mu Tianyan's advice, led his personal guard battalion to assault at the forefront of the army, at this moment he had taken off his heavy helmet, wrapped a striking turban around the hairpin on his head, held a long spear and rode his horse wildly, according to the direction of the artillery bombardment, led the whole army straight to charge towards the deepest part of the enemy army.

The sudden and ferocious assault of the Han army caught the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces off guard, and in fact it had not been more than an hour since their troops arrived in the city, and they were indeed surprised by the rapid reaction of the main Han army and the strong desire to fight. According to the general law of the battlefield, before the sky is dark, before the enemy's situation is clear, it is absolutely impossible for the defenders to attack rashly in the dark night before dawn, not to mention that the strength of the coalition army is more than twice that of the Han army, and before that, although the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces sent men and horses to make a momentum outside the city, but they were only intimidating and tired of the defenders, and were not ready to launch a substantive attack immediately, but set up tents, replenish drinking water and food, they rushed from hundreds of miles away, although they achieved the sudden goal, but they were also sleepy and lacking in physical strength.

Ma Ying's cavalry swept in, the armor thundered, the cavalry fought in a muffled voice, the guns and bayonets slashed, and a company annihilated dozens of small forces that were disturbing outside the city, and galloped all the way to the rear.

The horn sounded rapidly, the troops scattered all over the coalition army rushed to assemble in the Chinese army, the rear of the coalition army was chaotic for a moment, the soldiers jumped on their horses one after another, and under the scolding and scolding of the officers, they charged while arraying, the fire was blazing, the torches were dancing, and in the dark night, I don't know how many Manchu and Mongolian cavalry rushed towards the Han army's iron cavalry.

"Whew!! ......" sounded, the front of the two armies stepped on the saddle and stood with the bow in hand, shooting out a rain of arrows in the sky, long arrows hit the ground like dark clouds, staggered in the air, everywhere people turned on their horses, the war horses screamed, the soldiers screamed, but they only had to scream halfway, and they were immediately trampled by their comrades.

Ma Ying prostrated himself in front of the horse, threw away the shield full of long arrows, and stood up fiercely on his horse, raised his spear high, and hissed loudly, "Kill!" ……”

"Kill!! ......" The battle was until this moment, and the Han army issued the first shout, and after killing for so long, it finally shouted, and for a while, I only felt that my blood was full and my blood was boiling.

The sound did not fall, the two armies had already collided together, the iron cavalry in the forefront collided head-on, the corpses of the horses and limbs flew all over the sky, and the blood flowers bloomed in the air, and the long cavalry spear stabbed a string of corpses like a sugar gourd, and was dragged along the road by the galloping war horses, pulling out a long bloody road on the ground. In a few breaths, the Han army has been deeply involved in the coalition army, and suddenly shouts are everywhere, the two armies are close to each other, the sabre is cold and flashing, the horse spear is stabbed and swept, the bowstring is ringing, the feather arrows are breaking through the air from all sides, the head is rolling all over the ground like a leather ball, the purple and blue internal organs and blood are sprayed wantonly, and before a moment, the ground is already full of corpses, the dying war horses roll and neigh, the bloody soldiers scream miserably, and the falling torches illuminate the battlefield flickering, and the two armies are desperately fighting with this little firelight.

In less time, the two armies had already staggered, and the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces were in a hurry, and at this time they were actually pierced by the Han army's iron cavalry in one fell swoop, and the army was in confusion for a while, and the generals shouted and cursed loudly in Mongolian and Manchu in the dark, and the scattered soldiers were ignorant and did not know which team to return.

Suddenly brightened up in front of him, Ma Ying brandished his long knife, hissed in a hoarse voice, and shouted loudly, "Turn around, turn around...... Hearing the order of the lord, the guards and iron horsemen around him gave the order loudly, "Turn around...... Turn around......" Hundreds of people shouted in unison, and the Han army's iron cavalry suddenly turned, made a big circle, and rushed towards the coalition army brigade again. At this time, the fire in the coalition army was bright, and in order to rectify the system, the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition troops ignored the exposed formation and orientation, and everyone held torches high to identify the team. At this moment, the Han Army's Iron Cavalry Brigade turned around, Ma Ying was covered in blood, looking from afar, and suddenly saw a huge battle flag.

"Pengchun!! ......" Ma Ying's eyes were about to split, and suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, the horsewhip frantically whipped the horse's buttocks, and hundreds of horsemen around him heard the sound and changed color, and they stepped on the saddle and looked into the distance.

Tens of thousands of iron hooves trampled up and down, stirring up thunderstorms, rolling iron streams, the wind was like an instant kill, Ma Ying's personal guard camp was full of blood, since the promotion to the Han King's guards, Ma Ying deliberately organized the remnants of the Second Brigade of the Sixth Army that was wiped out in the last battle of Liuhe into a battalion, and at this moment the enemy is in front of him, and the blood of thousands of siblings is about to make them crazy.

The Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces barely formed a formation, but at this moment, the horse speed had already fallen behind, and they had to reluctantly speed up, raising their spears and stabbing at the Han army. Ma Ying's iron cavalry was not afraid, thousands of soldiers and men screamed, crazy forward, approaching, more than ten cavalry beside Ma Ying suddenly forcibly grabbed half of the horse's position, suddenly accelerated, violently lifted the reins of the horse and jumped high, and even the people and horses pressed down on the guns of the coalition army, and shouted angrily in mid-air, "Pengchun!! ......" sound has not fallen, the people and horses have been pressed, when they were nailed to the saddle by a long riding spear, stepping on the flesh and blood of their comrades, the rear team immediately broke into the crowd, pulled out the sabre and slashed on all sides, the guards tightly wrapped Ma Ying in the core, and did not hesitate to sprint towards the banner, seeing that the main general had entered the heart of the coalition army, the iron knight of the Han army was greatly invigorated, and couldn't help shouting loudly, desperately pressing forward, desperately close to the slash, and immediately cut down a large number of enemy troops.

Ma Ying desperately whipped the war horse, facing the enemy's banner desperately charged, the closer he killed, the greater the pressure, the nearby Eight Banners soldiers desperately blocked with all their might, batch after batch were hacked to death by the front army, and then wave after wave of counterattack on Ma Ying's front again, rushing to kill for a long time, seeing the banner in sight, even the enemy's figure was already faintly in sight, but it was always close to the end of the world, but it was out of sight.

At this moment, the morning light is meager and the east is flooded with wisps of morning glow, the earth is turbid, the army outside Ningyuan City is fighting, tens of thousands of people are fighting to the death, the morale of the Han army is like a macro, and the layers are pressing, but the coalition army is gradually unable to support, the formation is turning, and the retreat towards the rear is not stopped, the battlefield is constantly expanding, the Han cavalry also shows excellent riding and archery skills, at this moment and the enemy army shoots at the horse, and the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces have not had a moment of rest since midnight yesterday, most of them have been fighting until this moment, and they have not advanced into the water. Even if the conflict is fought to the death, the horsepower is exhausted, and the arrows shot are weak and weak.

Suddenly, the head of the city of Beining once again fired cannons, the cowhide drum "dong dong dong......" beat like a storm, one after another of the Han army appeared on the horizon, the musketeers lined up in a neat phalanx, stepping on the drum layer by layer, countless mules and horses dragged the cannons closely behind, a plain white "Han" character Daxu fluttered in the wind, straight towards the rear of the coalition army.

The Han army's iron cavalry cheered, thousands of people shouted desperately to kill, and they all stepped forward together, and launched a fierce assault on the coalition army again, the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition troops were greatly depressed, and immediately retreated towards the Chinese army, seeing that the Han army's offensive was becoming more and more ferocious, a team of cavalry with the banner of Horqin actually ignored the constraints of the banner, and took the lead in turning their horses and fleeing.

"Pengchun!! ......" Ma Ying roared, struggling to cut off the head of the horse of the Eight Banners in front of him, and rushed through with a clamp on the horse's belly, trampling him to death, with a scream in his ears, he raised the blood-drenched long knife, pointed directly at the enemy general not far away, and shouted excitedly, "Pengchun!! ……”

The enemy's battle flag finally retreated, the horn echoed rapidly, the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces finally broke and fled, and the Han cavalry tightly bit the opponent's rear flank and pursued along the road. After the defeat, the Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers finally could not support it, and some people who could not stop along the way shook and planted their horses, and then they lay on the ground and could no longer shake for half a point, and life and death were left to the enemy's disposal.

Ma Ying commanded more than 1,000 iron horsemen, ignoring the tired enemy troops on the side of the road, the iron cavalry roared past, at this moment his eyes were bloodshot, only the battle flag not far away, the horse whip whipped the back of the war horse's buttocks and flesh blurred, together with the soldiers under his command, more than 1,000 people shouted loudly in unison.

The fleeing enemy army quickly swept through the outflanking route of the Han army, causing Lin Feng's encirclement to fall into an empty space, the Han infantry immediately turned, and the large group of men and horses closely followed Ma Ying's cavalry troops, cleaning up the battlefield along the road, only to chase more than ten miles, suddenly the earth shook, the sound of horses' hooves converged into an earth-shattering sound, and the smoke and dust covered the sky in the distance, and countless war horses emerged from the horizon together, the blades were like forests, and the cold light was dazzling under the illumination of the morning sun.

The main force of the Manchurian-Mongolian coalition brigade finally arrived.

At the same time, Ming Jin urgently summoned Ma Ying's troops, and when he heard that the Han King had called back, the cavalry brigade immediately stopped chasing and killing the rout, and turned to run towards his own position.

Ma Ying rode alone, galloped wildly, rushed straight to the hill where the Han King Daxu was, hurriedly jumped off the horse, and before Lin Feng could speak, he threw the blood-drenched long knife into the soil, and shouted angrily, "Why do you withdraw the troops?!! ……”

Lin Feng held the monoculars, engrossed in observing the enemy army, and turned around when he heard the words, stunned, "General Ma, what are you talking about?!" ”

"I said why ......" Ma Ying opened her mouth wide, was speechless for a while, and was stunned for a long time, before she pleaded guilty on one knee with a flushed face, "The last general will lose his temper, please forgive the lord!" ”

"General Ma fought bravely, defeated a strong enemy, and broke the enemy army, which is really admirable," Wang Shirong smiled slightly, and suddenly interjected, he arched his hand slightly towards Lin Feng, and said with a smile, "But I am tired from a long battle, and I think that General Ma should be tired!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, General Ma has a good temperament!" Lin Feng waved his hand casually, and said to Ma Yingwen, "Don't worry, old horse, this bastard Peng Chun killed thousands of my children and cut off one of Ying Kui's hands, Lao Tzu will cut off his head sooner or later, don't worry!" ”

Ma Ying blushed, bowed and said, "It's up to the lord!" ”

"Heming, have you counted the results of last night?!" Lin Feng moved his gaze and stared at the war knife that Ma Ying had just inserted into the soil, the edge of this war knife had already collapsed and rolled in many places, from the gauntlet to the blade was dripping with blood, and at this moment the blood condensed into beads, as if it was seeping down drop by drop, "There were a lot of men and horses in the vanguard of the attack on the city last night, but the total strength of the enemy army was only 40,000, and now that we have killed one more, we have one more chance of winning!" ”

"The lord is not bad, the humble post has just interrogated the captured soldiers, the general who attacked the city last night is the pseudo-Qingzheng Red Banner Mongolian capital Pengchun, and the troops of the department have more than 12,000 people, including more than 6,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the rest are Mongolian soldiers," Seeing Lin Feng frowning slightly, Mu Tianyan hurriedly bowed his hand and explained, "The reason why this Pengchun can be the main general of this forward is only because he is familiar with the geography of the mountains and rivers of Liaodong, in fact, the Mongolians are still unconvinced!" ”

"Oh, I see," Lin Feng suddenly said, "How many enemy soldiers did you kill last night?!" How much did our army lose in battle?! ”

"Lord Qi, last night our army won a complete victory, and after a rough calculation, our army lost a total of 1,894 soldiers; Killed about 7,000 to 8,000 enemy soldiers, captured 614 enemy soldiers, and more than 6,000 horses! Mu Tianyan twisted his beard and said with a smile on his face, "In that case, there are only 33,000 or 4,000 enemies left in front of us, and among them, there are also four or five thousand defeated troops of Peng Chun, which can be said to have greatly increased the odds of victory!" ”

"Such a big result?!! Despite being mentally prepared, Lin Feng was still taken aback, turned his head to look at Ma Ying, who was covered in blood, and said in disbelief, "There is no mistake, right?!" ”

"That's true, the humble position can be evidenced by the crane song," Wang Shirong said with a smile, "The lord attacked decisively last night, which was really unexpected by the enemy, and the other party chased and killed Ma Jianwei's department for hundreds of miles, and there were many people who underestimated the enemy. And our army is recuperating, Ma Jianwei's department is angry and brave, how can it be invincible? ”

"Nice, nice!!" Mu Tianyan nodded again and again, and said with emotion, "Running for thousands of miles, you will be a general, this way of begging for death, the ancients will not deceive me!" ”

Lin Feng couldn't cry or laugh, why didn't you say that yesterday? At that time, you couldn't take it lightly, but if you fought according to your method, I'm afraid the enemy army would have besieged the city now, right? How can it be your turn to drag articles here? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly on my face, and I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, it turned out that Zhuge Liang came out like this, fighting this thing is still 100% triumphalist, speculation and risk gambling together, winning is a famous general, and losing is an idiot, thinking that if Zhao Kuo took shit luck and killed Bai Qi back then, then I'm afraid that countless touting articles praising Zhao Kuo who criticized Lian Po also came out, right? !

But in this way, wouldn't Bai Qi also become a fool?! Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh, and laughed out loud.

Wang Shirong and Mu Tian looked at each other, stunned, I couldn't imagine that this lord, who has always been extraordinary, still remembered his little pigtails yesterday, but as a staff member, it is his duty to admonish, and it seems that there is no need to make fun of it, right?! Wang Shirong coughed dryly a few times and said embarrassedly, "Cough...... Cough...... The lowly rank is unclear, and he is in danger of delaying the military plane, please forgive the lord!! ”

"No, no, I'm not laughing at you......" Lin Feng hurriedly stopped, this kind of thing became darker and darker, he put away his smile and said, "Right now, the enemy and our two armies are facing each other, according to the two gentlemen, what should our army do?!" ”

Wang Shirong groaned for a while, then arched his hand, and said in a deep voice, "According to the humble position, although our army has won a new victory, the enemy's strength at the moment is still twice as large as our army, and the enemy army is all elite cavalry, while our army is based on foot soldiers, the terrain of Beining is flat and open, which is in line with their vertical and horizontal killing, which is very disadvantageous to me. ”

Lin Feng was silent, turned his head and cast his gaze towards Mu Tianyan, Ma Ying, Rick and the others.

"What Lord Wang said is extremely true, and what he sees is the same!" Mu Tianyan saw that Lin Feng seemed to be uncertain, and hurriedly added, "If the lord is determined to fight a decisive battle with the enemy army at this time, he should also retreat slightly, and then his back will be against the fortified city, in addition to not being afraid of the enemy's cavalry behind the detour, he can also use the cannon fire at the head of the city, so he has a good chance of winning!" ”

"What do you think?!" Seeing that Ma Ying and Rick were silent, Lin Feng snorted at them.

Rick and Ma Ying glanced at each other, bowed in unison and said, "We are the only ones who are the first to look forward!" ”

Fuck, when did Rick learn so badly?! What a pure child he was at the beginning, it seems that the officialdom is still really untouchable, and if he goes in, he will learn badly, Lin Feng thought maliciously in his heart.

"I told you yesterday that the war is just an extension of politics, so this king must fight a battle to convince the Northeast, if it becomes a battle to defend the city, then even if it wins, it will not be able to solve the Liaoshen problem!" Lin Feng waved his hand, his face full of annoyance, "The widow wants to fight a field battle, fight a tough battle between large armies, and even win a battle with less to win more, do you understand what I mean?!" Seeing that everyone was still a little confused, Lin Feng simply picked it more clearly, "What I mean is that after the victory of this war, the Manchus, Mongolians, Oroqen and all other ethnic groups outside the Guan, including all other ethnic groups, no longer dare to use war to solve political problems, either surrender to my Han Dynasty, or send envoys to surrender and admit defeat - do you understand?!" ”

Wang Shirong was stunned for a while, then nodded slowly, "...... In this case, Wang has a plan!! ”

"Oh?!" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "What did you say?" …… Will the plan be settled?! ”

Wang Shirong ignored Lin Feng's ridicule, he bowed his hand respectfully towards Lin Feng, and said with a serious face, "The humble position has just been saved, in fact, if you really count it, it seems that the strength of our Han is not necessarily less!" - Have you forgotten that we still have seventy or eighty thousand strong people in Ningyuan City......

"Colonel Wang!" Rick couldn't help but retort, "I think you're mistaken, they're not soldiers!" - And this is not a siege battle, let them fight with the Tatar cavalry, it is undoubtedly for them to die in vain," he said with a face full of indignation, raising his hands to Lin Feng, "Your Majesty, I firmly oppose this suggestion!! ”

“……”

"Oh...... Well," Lin Feng glanced at Rick uneasily, and said embarrassedly, "This, this is not just talking now-Ji Yun is okay to say!" ”

"Ahem...... Cough...... In fact, the meaning of the humble position is not to ask them to go into battle, the humble position is just to make these tens of thousands of strong men build a fortress......" Wang Shirong was stunned when he saw everyone, he twisted his beard and smiled, "In fact, the humble position is just borrowing the wisdom of Zhuge - the lord can immediately issue an order, while the enemy army is not in a hurry to fight, let the 100,000 strong men in the city each carry a bag of soil, so that only one trip can get 100,000 bags of soil, enough to immediately stack up a long wall that the firearms army relies on, so even if the enemy cavalry is sharp, what can I do?!" ”

"Not bad, not bad!" As soon as he mentioned it, Lin Feng suddenly came to his senses, nodded again and again, and said, "In addition, you can also order these people to build fortifications behind our army, stop the cavalry from maneuvering, and force them to confront me head-on!" He suddenly laughed and said, "Isn't this what Cao Cao beat Ma Chao back then?!" Although it is only on paper, it should be feasible to deal with cavalry. ”

"Yes!" Mu Tianyan also nodded and said, "This plan is wonderful, and it's best right now!" ”

The plan had been decided, Lin Feng was in good spirits, and immediately assigned the task, "Okay, then let's do it, anyway, fighting is half man-made, half providential," he raised his eyes and ordered, "Ma Ying's cavalry troops should seize the time to rest first; Rick now urged the infantry and artillery to monitor enemy movements and cover the construction of fortifications by the people; Heming immediately rushed back to Bac Ninh and was responsible for coordinating the transportation of military supplies such as grain, grass, bows, arrows, and ammunition; Ji Yun temporarily led the military police and a battalion of musketeers, and led 100,000 people to start work immediately!! ”

He glanced at the Manmeng army on the opposite side from a distance, and said solemnly, "Remember, the enemy is being broken in the near future, and you must be careful about your errands!! ”
