Fifty miles east of Mayi, the camp of the Yechen Department of Wanyan.

In the distance, when a white fish belly was revealed, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the camp.

The sleepy-eyed Jiannu and the Mongol cavalry stood up one after another, copied their weapons, and looked vigilantly outside the camp through a neat array of horses and carts.

"Urgent, urgent!"

To the west, a fast horse galloped in.

The Jiannu at the camp gate hurriedly moved away from the horses, pushed away the mule carts, and opened a passage.

The fast horse rushed straight into the camp and galloped towards Yan Yechen's camp.

Wanyan Yechen woke up in his sleep, hurriedly opened the curtain and rushed out.

"My lord, I found a Ming army in the east, coming from the direction of Hongtao Mountain, and has arrived seven or eight miles away."

Wanyan Yechen's face changed: "How many troops?" ”

"I can't see clearly at night, but I can hear the sound of horses' hooves, and it will never be less than three thousand, or even more."

"Can you see the flag?"

"I can't see clearly."

"Firearms?"

"I can't see it clearly."

Wanyan Yechen didn't ask, and waved his hand to let Tanma go down to rest.

At this time, Saimuha and a few Niu Lu Zhangjing arrived, just in time to hear what Tanma had just said.

"The one surnamed Qin really has an ambush in Hongtao Mountain." Wanyan Yechen looked in the direction of the west and said with a frown.

Saimuha said: "My lord, let's go to war, the surnamed Qin just experienced a big battle yesterday, and it will definitely take time to recuperate, and it will definitely not come so fast, I can first defeat the soldiers and horses in the east, and when the surname Qin arrives, the reinforcements of the Lord of Belle will definitely arrive, and it will not be too late to join forces with the Lord of Baylor, and it will not be too late to defeat the person surnamed Qin." ”

This time, Wanyan Yechen did not object, but nodded: "That's right, we must defeat the Ming army before the arrival of the surnamed Qin." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, go and gather the warriors, let them eat a few mouthfuls of dry food first, and then send out troops in two quarters of an hour to defeat the Ming army on the east side."

"Scum!"

Saimuha and others took orders one after another.

But before they could disperse, a horse suddenly came from the west.

Seeing the sentry rider, Wanyan Yechen's face sank.

The sentry rode to the front, panting, and saluted Wanyan Yechen and the others: "My lord, an army suddenly appeared in the west, and it has reached ten miles away, and it is coming towards our camp. ”

"What?"

Wanyan Yechen's face changed greatly.

The sentry repeated what he had just said, and then added: "Because it is dark, it is impossible to see how many soldiers and horses the other side has, but judging from the length of the marching army, there are at least four or five thousand. ”

"Infantry or Cavalry?"

"The infantry army is the majority, and the cavalry has about a thousand."

Hearing this, Wanyan Yechen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"My lord, what now?" Saimuha, who hadn't walked away yet, asked solemnly.

Wanyan Yechen turned his gaze to the west, frowned and said: "According to the rout soldiers who fled back last night, the Ming army that defeated Rausa was about 3,000 infantry troops, more than 1,000 cavalry, and now the Ming army from the west has four or five thousand people, the number of people is right, and the number of infantry cavalry is also right, it should be the main force of Qinchuan." ”

"Mayi City is fifty miles away from here, and the marching speed is slow at night, and when thousands of troops carry artillery, it will take at least three or four hours, or even longer, and yesterday's big battle lasted until dark, that is, the main force of Qin Chuan only rested for two hours at most."

"From this point of view, his main force must be tired and exhausted."

Saimuha frowned: "What do you mean, the main force of Qin Chuan will be attacked first?" ”

"That's right."

Wanyan Yechen nodded without hesitation.

A Niu Lu Zhangjing next to him was puzzled: "My lord, if we wait for the main force to attack Qinchuan, the Ming army on the east side will inevitably come from our rear to kill the generals, and the enemy will be attacked on both sides...... I'm afraid it's not right. ”

"Just divide your forces and block it."

"But our army is less than 4,000, if we divide the army, ......"

Wanyan Yechen's face showed a touch of ruthlessness: "Use us to catch those Nikans to block." ”

"Regardless of men and women, all the five thousand Nikans were driven out and blocked in front of the Ming army on the east road, even if the Ming army rushed over regardless of their compatriots, it would definitely be able to delay a lot of time, as long as they could defeat the main force of Qinchuan in one go, they would be able to turn around and clean up the Ming army in the east."

Hearing this, Saimuha's eyes lit up: "Your Excellency is clever." ”

"Hurry up and mobilize troops and horses, and attack immediately."

"Yes."

As Saimuha and others passed down the order, the camp of Jiannu became busy.

About two quarters of an hour later, Wanyan Yechen led 3,500 Jiannu and Mongol soldiers to advance to the west in the morning light, hoping to surprise the main force of Qinchuan and defeat the biggest henchmen of the Dajin Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Wanyan Yechen is quite strategic, and he has a very good set of leading troops, if Qinchuan's Guan Emperor army only rested for two hours a day and a night, and was already exhausted, I am afraid that it will really be defeated with one blow.

It's just that Wanyan Yechen still underestimated Qin Chuan.

The reason why Qin Chuan has been hiding his forces is to confuse the enemy.

It was not his main force that defeated Laussa, but Li Dingliang's division and Liao's three spear divisions.

The two men and horses had rested all night in the back, and now they should have drawn their camp and were heading here.

The 5,000 troops led by Qin Chuan have been recuperating in the west of Mayi City for two days.

Moreover, Qin Chuan has always attached great importance to the physical training of Emperor Guan's army, and while feeding them, he will pull them out for a hundred miles at every turn.

Fifty miles of road, Qin Chuan did walk for four and a half hours, but one and a half hours was the time to rest on the road.

Now, these 5,000 soldiers and horses are indeed a little tired, but they have not yet reached the point of exhaustion, let alone to the point of being defeated with one blow.

When he learned that Yan Yechen had already led his troops to battle and was only a few miles away from him, Qin Chuan asked the army to stop and set up a hollow phalanx with only three sides by the Sanggan River, waiting for Jiannu to come and send him to death.

In only a quarter of an hour, Wanyan Yechen arrived.

Wanyan Yechen didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the position, like Laosa's tactics, a thousand Mongolian cavalry roamed around the left and rear of the Guan Di army, looking for opportunities to harass or even break the formation.

Two thousand five hundred slaves dismounted four or five hundred paces away, nailed the reins of their horses to the ground with wooden nails, and then quickly formed a formation, followed by the dead soldiers, followed by Bayara, and then the horse armor with bows and arrows.

During the formation process, Wanyan Yechen kept an eye on the formation of the Ming army, and the more he looked at it, the more uneasy he became.

The lineup of this Ming army is still tight, and there is no sign of exhaustion at all.

Gradually, Wanyan Yechen began to regret it.

He thought that he had already overestimated the surname Qin, and he was cautious enough.

Unexpectedly, it is still underestimated.

But now the arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

After the formation was lined up, Wanyan Yechen calmed down, raised the waist knife in his hand, and shouted: "Warriors, this Ming army standing in front of you once used trickery to attack and kill more than 1,000 warriors of our Dajin Kingdom in the Qingshui River, and captured Ahsan and Turushh alive. ”

"Just a few days ago, they not only killed a few of our warriors, but also hung their heads outside the city of Mayi to humiliate the Dajin Kingdom and our warriors!"

"They are not a bitter enemy with us, warriors, let us avenge our brothers today, take up your weapons, set foot on them, and kill them all!"

"Kill!"

The morale of the two thousand five hundred Jiannu was high, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and then they stepped on the heavy steps of wearing armor and pressed towards Qinchuan's military formation.

On the other side, Qin Chuan looked at these Jiannu with a smile in his eyes, and said to the students who were speaking martial arts next to him: "Boosting morale in battle is an extremely important part, especially when fighting a tough battle. ”

"Morale can determine victory or defeat, but in the face of absolute power, Wanyan Yechen's words are Jiannu's talisman."

Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and the others nodded thoughtfully.

"Check the ammunition, it's all carefully prepared, I'll give these Jiannu a few more guns later, I'll wait to take Jiannu's head to build a skull mountain."

"Yes!"

The Guandi army was also busy, and all the gunners and gunners were checking the ammunition for the firearms in their hands.

This time, Qin Chuan didn't plan to hide his strength, so he put out hundreds of tiger squat cannons and hundreds of flintlock guns.

When Jiannu had just reached the distance of three hundred paces, Huang Liuxi and his fifty sharpshooters were the first to shoot.

Dozens of bullets whizzed away, or hit the large shield in the front row, making a crackling sound.

Among them, more than a dozen bullets concentrated on the legs and feet of the dead soldiers, causing a painful wail.

Wanyan Yechen, who was pressing the formation behind Jiannu, suddenly changed his face.

Doesn't it mean that the army's bird gun can hit 200 steps?

Why is it that now a distance of 300 paces can be killed and injured?

What kind of bird gun is that?

"My lord, if the Ming Army's bird guns can hit farther, you will be too dangerous on horseback, so get off your horse and avoid it." A guard next to him said anxiously.

Wanyan Yechen hesitated for a moment, and finally obediently turned over and dismounted, hiding in the crowd of Jiannu.

Saimuha and other generals also dismounted to hide.

As a result, they are unable to see the specific situation on the battlefield and find it difficult to make judgments and commands.

The gunfire of Huang Liuxi and other marksmen continued, and the dead soldiers in the front row of Jiannu kept falling, and when they approached one hundred and twenty paces, more than one hundred and forty dead soldiers had already been wounded.

Hearing the battle situation coming back from the front, Wanyan Yechen became more and more dignified, and he regretted it more and more.

He knew that this battle might be more than lucky.

Sure enough, when the Jiannu were bending their bows and arrows at a distance of one hundred and twenty paces, a large cloud of smoke rose from the opposite formation, followed by a dense sound of cannons and gunfire, as well as the sharp neighing of cannonballs and bullets as they flew.

In the blink of an eye, another piece of dead soldiers in the front row fell.

"Charge, charge, charge!"

Wanyan Yechen gritted his teeth, and simply didn't do anything, and there was still a glimmer of life in the struggle.

Hearing his shout, Jiannu in the front row immediately pulled out his legs and rushed forward.

They all knew that if they started charging so far away, they would already be exhausted when they arrived in front of the Ming army.

But they had no choice but to charge ahead and quickly approach the Ming army in order to hope winning this battle.

……

Outside the camp of Wanyan Yechen, more than 5,000 captive Han people, under the threat of hundreds of Jiannu's swords and guns, trembled out of the camp and formed a chaotic formation on the farmland.

Jiannu wanted to use them to block Luo Da Niu and Luo Ba's soldiers and horses.
