DONG E. Durrey received orders from Dorgon in Niujiazhuang. He was one of the five ministers of the early Qing Dynasty. He Heli's fifth son, his mother is Nurhachi's daughter. When Nurhachi was alive, his grandson was very favored, not only prosperous in official affairs, but also divided into two Niu Lu of Zhenghongqi, and was listed as an eight-point prince. However, since Huang Taiji came to power, he began to have bad luck, when he fought North Korea, he was punished for robbery in Seoul, and when Chongde hit Jinzhou in four years, he was punished again because of the retreat of the department, and in the same year, he was accused by his subordinates of privately excavating the property hidden in the Ming Dynasty's Dewang Mansion when he entered Jinan, and Huang Taiji pretended to spare his life, and gave him a stroke to the end, until Chongde eight years before he recovered as a solid mountain Ezhen, but the two Niu Lu were gone......

And the people that Huang Taiji hates, when they are in the hands of Huang Amadorgon, they are often able to turn over. Therefore, Durey has gained a lot of benefits from Dorgon, and has been awarded the title of second-class uncle, and his position in the Zhenghong Banner is also secure.

So he was also very grateful to Dolgon, and he was willing to sell his strength at the critical moment - Dolgon also knew the temper of this thing, so he gave him the most difficult task!

He is now commanding the fifteen Niu Lu of the Zheng Red Banner and the four Niu Lu of the Zheng Green Flag to guard in Niujiazhuang, overlooking from the Turtle Mountain, his troops are far away from Dolgon's main formation, and they are not close to the Qing army in Li Zhuang, no matter how you look at it, it is a little isolated.

After receiving Dorgon's order, Durrey immediately lit two bulls with red flags and half a bull with green flags to meet them.

The Ming army's "Morris Battalion" was very capable of fighting cavalry, but Huang Degong and Li Chengdong's vassal army was not a new army after all.

The latter was trained by foreign generals invited by Zhu Cihong at a high price, and officers at all levels were trained in the Nanjing Lecture and Martial Arts Hall. In addition, they are also equipped with better guns, and they have begun to replace them with Spanish light arquebuses on a large scale! Moreover, the soldiers of the front-line troops (organized into seven model divisions) were protected by slatted armor, and it was difficult for the bows and arrows of the Qing army to hurt them.

The armies of Huang Degong and Li Chengdong only learned a little bit of the "Morris Array", and they could fight, but it was a little difficult to march under the harassment of the Qing cavalry.

Fortunately, Li Chengdong's two lancer battalions were not vegetarians, and when they saw that the number of cavalry in the Qing army was small, they immediately shouted and greeted them.

Of course, they don't have the so-called wall charge, it's not that powerful, it's just a group of dozens of horsemen, and after getting close to a distance of more than one to two miles, they will charge with a horse pistol. Now they were still a little far from Dulei's men, and they didn't start to charge, but they had already shouted the slogan: "Saint Kong bless...... Invulnerable! ”

Although they are not Qufu training troops, they are also followers of Confucius...... After dying in battle, everyone is a great Confucian!

Du Lei has been suppressing the third prince in Shanxi for several years, but he has never seen such a fierce Ming army, and he was immediately startled, but fortunately, Niu Lu Zhangjing, who followed him with the green flag, is Shang Kexi's younger brother Shang Cute, he is old with the Qufu Army, the Tai'an Army, and the Huaibei Army, and knows the people's 'one board axe'. So he hurriedly said to Du Lei: "Gushan Ezhen, let's withdraw quickly!" The lancers of the Southern Army are powerful......"

"What?" Du Lei was stunned for a moment, and then glared fiercely at Shang Cute, whose face was tanned, and who was a little unshaven, and who was not cute at all, "How can we Manchurian warriors be afraid of Nikan's cavalry?" ”

Shang was speechless, not knowing what to say.

How could he be afraid of the cavalry of the Ming army? I just don't want to go toe...... The cavalry of the Ming army was not a three-plate axe, but a one-plate axe, which could not be used for riding and shooting, and the equestrian skills were mediocre, that is, they relied on a good armor to play with a spear and charge - their slatted armor was not only strong, but also relatively light. Therefore, the weight of the Ming cavalry wearing slatted armor on the horses was much lighter than that of the Qing army wearing cotton armor and chain mail, so they were often able to rush at high speed at the beginning of the battle.

However, they were one person and one horse, and the Qing cavalry, especially the old Eight Banners, were all one person, two horsemen or even three horses.

Therefore, Shang Kawai, a veteran who has fought with the Ming army lancers many times, knows that he must first avoid the edge, consume his horsepower, and then change horses to fight, and he can gain the upper hand.

"Shang Zhangjing, you lead people to rush first, and Benjue will press you down!" Du Lei despised the people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, so he immediately sent Shang Lovely a "dead soldier" errand.

Shang Kawai, who thought he was unlucky, had no choice but to take more than 200 cavalry under his command to meet him.

The leader of the Ming army was Li Chengdong's adopted son Li Yuanyin, and he was a monk and cute, and these Green Banner cavalrymen were old opponents and were familiar with their tactics. Seeing them coming up today, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, pointed his horse pistol forward, and said loudly; "This is Saint Kong bless us, rush with me!"

At this time, the dozen or so cavalry teams he led had already been divided into three waves in the process, and after receiving the order, they immediately began to accelerate forward, first jogging, and then sprinting with all their might. In the rumbling hooves, more than 3,000 horses' hooves brought up the snow powder in the sky, and there was really a little momentum of shaking the mountains.

Shang Kawaii also fought, and also launched a charge with his green flag horse team, which was also a group of charges, and soon collided with the cavalry group of the Ming army. Because the formations of both sides were not too dense, the process of the collision was not tragic, and after the first wave of collisions, only a few cavalry were knocked off their horses, and most of them passed by.

However, because the Ming army was more numerous, it was divided into three waves, and Shang Lovely cavalry only had one wave, so in the first wave of collisions, the formation was disorganized, and the green flag cavalry, which had reduced its speed, suffered a big loss in the second and third waves of collisions with the opponent, and was beaten to the back of the horse, losing nearly 180 horses.

Du Lei's Red Banner Horse Team did not go up to charge the formation, but used Niu Lu as a unit to attack the two flanks of the Ming cavalry in two ways, not by hard collision or hand-to-hand combat, but by horse archery. The cavalry of the Ming army were all wearing slatted armor, very strong, and not very afraid of arrows, but their war horses were all unarmoured, so they also suffered some losses under the shooting of bows and arrows of the Qing army, at least a dozen horses were shot over, and many war horses were hung with colors, and feathered arrows were inserted in the horses.

However, because Shang Love's cavalry had been defeated, Du Lei did not dare to continue to fight with the Ming army lancers, who were twice as numerous as him, so he had to retreat to Niujiazhuang.

Repelled the resistance of the Qing cavalry, the roundabout Ming army was able to continue to pounce on Niujiazhuang.

At the same time, in front of Guishan, the Ming army also risked death to launch a counterattack on the artillery positions of the Qing army.

Shi Kefa sent a Qufu army car battalion (without a car), under the command of Stilwell, to charge from the left flank of the Qing artillery position. At the same time, more than a dozen 3-pounder guns and one-pound guns were drawn and fired at the artillery positions of the Qing army from another direction.

The chariot soldiers who left the chariot formed a large pike, a bit like the Spanish phalanx, the core was the pikemen in the chariot barracks, forming a quadrangle, the musketeers and archers relied on the pike, and the sword players surrounded the phalanx, covering the phalanx.

As soon as this huge phalanx began to move, it was bombarded by the artillery of the Qing army! The 3-pounder shells made one gap after another in the Ming army's phalanx, and some of the shells bounced and flew through the Ming army's formation, knocking everything that stood in its way to the ground.

However, the Qufu army had a strong will to fight, and their formation was not too dense, and the artillery of the Qing army was already hot after firing for a long time, and they could only shoot at a lower speed, and they came up from the left flank of the Qing artillery position, and the firing angles of many artillery pieces were blocked and could not be put into shooting, so the artillery bombardment of the Qing army could not drive them away.

In the first line of the command of the operation, the white flag Gushan Ezhen Tatara. Azignikan had no choice but to order some of the cavalry in the rear of the artillery to dismount and join the musketeers guarding the artillery array.
