Mandarin duck array.

One of the ancient Chinese formations, founded by the famous general Qi Jiguang. This formation was originally set up to deal with the Japanese invaders, easy to move, both long and short, both offensive and defensive, and its formation characteristics are unique in ancient times that require the formation to highlight the unilateral use, especially when resisting foreign enemies of unknown depth, the advantage is very obvious.

During the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang was transferred to the north, and his opponent changed from the coastal pirates to the Mongolian cavalry, so this kind of chariot was used on the basis of the "Mandarin Duck Array".

The performance of this chariot is mainly defensive, and the shape is similar to that of civilian carts. The difference lies in the fact that there are box boards on both sides of the trunk of the folk cart, and this kind of chariot only has eight foldable screens, a total length of 15 feet, which is usually placed flat on the wheel, and is opened and erected behind one wheel to replace the trunk during the battle, so it is also called "partial box car".

Different from history, the chariots of the Qi army during the Ming Dynasty were loaded with two "Franco" light cannons, and they fired lead bullets behind the screen on the chariot. But in the era of the Sui Dynasty, artillery had not yet appeared. Therefore, on the chariot, Qi Jiguang was equipped with ten crossbowmen.

With Qi Jiguang's order, nearly a hundred chariots rushed to the forefront, connecting side by side, forming a circular defensive formation. The crossbowman stretched out his bow and set his arrows, aiming at the galloping Hu cavalry.

"Woohoo Woo Woo .

The arrows flew away like locusts, and Hu Qi, who was originally like a huge wave galloping, was shot on his back in an instant, and he was killed and wounded.

The enraged Turkic and Jurchen cavalry had long since lost their sense at this moment, and the follow-up cavalry did not hesitate to trample on the corpse of the robe in front of them, and rushed forward in the face of the rain of arrows.

"Jurchen warriors, follow me!"

Nurhachi brandished his sword, galloped wildly, and shouted for kill.

His two sons, Huang Taiji and Dorgon, died at the hands of the Sui army, and his hatred for the Sui army had reached the point of not sharing the sky, and his only thought at the moment was to kill in the crowd and use the blood of the Sui soldiers to pay tribute to his two beloved sons.

"Ding Dong, Nurhachi has been detected to be in a state of madness, force +4, base force 91, current force has risen to 95."

The Jurchen cavalry led by Nurhachi rode their horses and galloped, and everything seemed to be a replica of another battle.

In the first year of the Tomorrow Dynasty, Nurhachi, who had raised his army with thirteen pairs of armor, encountered the worst battle of his life.

On the banks of the Hunhe River, the famous elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, the White Pole Soldiers and the Qi Family Army, faced tens of thousands of Eight Banners and fought to the death, killing and wounding tens of thousands of Houjin Eight Banner soldiers.

In the records of the Ming Dynasty or the history of the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, all of them praised the bravery of the Sichuan and Zhejiang legions in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, calling this battle "dignified and vigorous", "Shi Xianzhuangzhi", and "the first bloody battle since the use of troops by Liaozuo".

It's a pity that no matter how strong the king is, he can't bring the bronze slag. Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong at that time, can be said to have killed these two elites of the Ming Dynasty.

The governor of the Donglin Party of the Mouth Artillery Regiment first took in the Mongolian refugees indiscriminately, but the Jurchen conspirators mixed with these refugees were in harmony with the outside, resulting in the supposedly impregnable Shenyang being breached in one day, and 70,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were killed.

Shenyang was lost, and the artillery that was originally left in the city became a sharp weapon of the Houjin army. The traitor Li Yongfang lured the captured Ming gunners to open fire on the Ming army with a large sum of money.

At the most tragic moment of the fierce battle between the white pole soldiers of the Qi family army and the Houjin Eight Banners, the commanders of the army, Chen Ce and Tong Zhonghui, sent envoys to Yuan Yingtai to ask for help.

But the governor was already frightened, and refused to agree on the grounds that Jin Qiangqiang could not turn the tide of the battle in the future.

The isolated white pole soldiers and the Qi family army were finally wiped out, and more than 120 generals and colonels, including Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghui, Qi Jin, Yuan Jianlong, Deng Qilong, Zhang Mingshi, and Zhang Dadou, all died without hesitation and tragically.

After the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, only a few soldiers of the Qi family army who broke through in advance and stayed behind in Liaoyang survived. The Ming court sent people to comfort the labor army and promised a heavy reward, but these soldiers refused with tears, not asking for a reward, but only asking for another battle, vowing to avenge Qi Jin and other fallen soldiers, and finally died in the battle of Liaoyang ten days later.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, which was fed with a lot of silver, and finally surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and became the vanguard of the destruction of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was more than 108,000 miles higher.

In the center of the Sui army, Qi Jiguang certainly didn't know that the Jurchen general who shouted to kill in the distance had annihilated the Qi family army he had formed in history and beheaded his nephew Qi Jin. He only knew that he would be the soul of a soldier, and he must kill this hateful barbarian.

"Kill! Kill! ”

With a roar, the Turkic Jurchen cavalry had already rushed to the chariot, raising their swords in their hands and slashing downward.

On the chariot, Qi Jiguang also arranged ten soldiers, holding rattan cards and long-handled single knives to meet the enemy. Seeing that the blade was approaching, the rattan hand stepped forward to block the sword, and the long knife hand struck out from behind, cutting the approaching Hu cavalry off his horse.

"Step forward and fight!"

Qi Jiguang waved the flag in his hand, and the soldiers behind the car formation also began to step forward to meet the enemy.

The infantry in the front line held rattan cards, crawled forward, specially cut off the enemy's horses' hooves, and made a decisive move, but in a moment, hundreds of Hu horsemen were cut off their horses' hooves, fell off their horses, and were soon trampled to death by the cavalry who rushed up.

The Sui infantry behind the rattan player was armed with spears and stabbed at the oncoming Hu cavalry. Hu cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and soon the formation of the charge was chaotic.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up!"

In the middle of Nurhachi's loud shouting, two spears stabbed at the door flashed sideways, and the long knives in his hands slashed down diagonally, and the two Sui soldiers screamed and fell to the ground and died.

"Brothers, cut off the horse's feet, cut off the horse's feet of this barbarian!"

A Sui military captain led several groups of soldiers to surround him from both sides, bent down and poked out Changge, pulling the legs of Nurhachi's mount like a sickle.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nurhachi hurriedly swung his knife to block and push away Changge, which stretched out from time to time, but Nurhachi rushed too fiercely, and he had already attracted the attention of the Sui soldiers, and soon surrounded several groups of Sui soldiers.

In the face of Changge, who is getting more and more right, Nurhachi can't be all-encompassing. He heard a wail from his mount under his crotch, and his front hooves broke in two, and he lifted Nurhachi off his horse.

"Kill!"

The pikemen behind shouted in unison, spear in hand, and ran towards Nurhachi.

Nurhachi rolled and dodged a few spears, and then an old donkey rolled and rolled over, swinging his knife and slashing at several Sui soldiers who were still stuck in the ground.

The rattan player next to the pikeman immediately stepped forward and raised his card to protect the pikeman. Nurhachi slashed at the rattan plaque, leaving a visible scar.

"Come forward, kill this thief!"

Qi Jiguang in the distance also saw Nurhachi, who had the most fierce resistance, and waved the flag in his hand, focusing on taking care of this Qing Taizu.
