On the 10th day of the fourth month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

In the net field on the bank of the Songhua River, near the Manchu language known as Alejin, a major battle between the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Two Yellow Banners of Manchuria led by Huang Taiji and the tribal soldiers led by Bomu Bogol, the head of Heilongjiang, is about to break out.

The camp of the two yellow flags is set up on the north bank of the Songhua River, where there are some hills and valleys, and there are patches of woods, which is convenient for getting water and firewood, which is an ideal place to camp.

At this time, a few miles away from the camp, Huang Taiji's Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers had already come in crowds, and set up a formation, which was born from the traditional three-fold formation of the Ming army, with the forward being a sharp arrow formation, which was convenient for cavalry assault, and there were left and right wings, as well as the Chinese army and reserves. In this way, they can attack and defend, and the reinforcements can also respond.

In the position of the Chinese army, a striking huge Yellow Dragon umbrella cover is flying high there, under the Huang Luo umbrella cover, a fat fat man, his fat body, steady on the war horse, the heavy flying dragon gilt armor on the body in the sun shines dazzlingly.

Behind him is the tall yellow dragon umbrella, which is a symbol of the emperor's authority, whether it shades the sun or not. Surrounded by the dense Bayala soldiers and the more elite Gebush Xianchao Ha soldiers, he raised his eyes and saw that the soldiers of the army were standing solemnly, and the army was yellow and red.

It was Huang Taiji, the Qing Emperor who came in anger!

In the past few days, Huang Taiji's emotions have been described by words such as seven points of smoke, three fires, three corpse gods, and a rage.

In his opinion, a group of wild people in the mountains and forests actually caused him to lose thousands of elite soldiers and horses, which was originally a spring hunting activity to replenish his strength and improve his prestige, but it turned out to be his own thousands of miles to deliver meat to the door. How can this be swallowed?

The south wind blew the sound of the Yellow Dragon's big umbrella hunting, and Huang Taiji under the umbrella waved his hand and waved to his descendants who had completed the formation, surrounded by soldiers who cheered for him.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

With the Huanglong umbrella as the core, the stars are holding the moon and surrounding countless flags, rolling up the flags with the gust of south wind. A dense forest of guns loomed at the foot of the flag. Layers of Qing cavalry as dense as locusts marched with the flag, their armor of different colors, and red tassels fluttering on their helmets like fire.

All the soldiers of the Qing army waved their weapons and shouted hoarsely at Huang Taiji. The overwhelming sound of "Long live" was higher and higher, and this kind of military strength made Huang Taiji's mood slightly better.

"Finally caught up! I want to see where you can escape! Defeat the main forces of Er and others today, and send generals to sweep the lair in the coming day. It is inevitable that you will be completely brought under my command! ”

On the other side, Bomu Bogol was also surrounded by his subordinates, soldiers and horses, carefully observing Huang Taiji's soldiers and horses.

This time, the soldiers and horses who went north with Huang Taiji were all his descendants of the two yellow banners, and there were Kabush sage soldiers, Bayala soldiers and other guards of the pro-army, and the prosperity of the army naturally far exceeded the knowledge of Bomu Bogol and others.

In their eyes, the military formation on the opposite side was like a sea of yellow mixed with a little red, like a dancing flame. Same as the Ming army. The color armor of the Qing soldiers born in the Ming army is also hierarchical, and generally the lowest layer of the coat and Yu Ding do not have suitable and decent armor. At most, there is a pure cloth military uniform, similar to the fat jacket of the Ming army. Then there are the sergeants wearing cloth armor, that is, some iron sheets and copper nails are inlaid on the military uniforms, then cotton armor, which is used for fire protection, and then leather armor. And then there's the ironclad.

In the formation of the Baya soldiers and Kabush soldiers guarding behind Huang Tai, they are all water-mill iron hats with caps and nets, or six-petal iron helmets in the high bowl style, all with iron leaf guards, and they may wear Kai armor with round necks and plackets. Isshiki is dressed in double armor and wraps his body in bulging pockets.

Turning around to look at his own team can only be described as miserable. The formation is naturally incomparable, and can only be described as a mess. Under the leadership of the chieftain, the soldiers and horses of various tribes gathered in a group, ranging from thirty or fifty men and horses to hundreds of men and horses, and the number was uncertain. Small groups were formed, scattered across the wasteland.

Compared with the bright armor of the two yellow flag soldiers and horses, Bomu Bogol's side is only his headquarters and Ecuador, who has just made a fortune in Bayan and Mulan, and the two subordinates have achieved that everyone is wearing armor, and the equipment is complete, and the rest, most of them are pitiful, only the head and the warriors recognized in the tribe are considered to be fully armoured, and the rest are barely able to have weapons in everyone's hands, armor and helmets, it depends on the luck of each family.

Bomu Bogol glanced at the Ecuadorian tribes who were assembled in formation on his right flank, and after the Xibe people had eliminated the elite of the two yellow flags in their early 2,000s in the swamp of Bayan, they rowed into the swamp in a birch bark boat, knocked the Liao thieves who were still struggling to cry for help in the mud with wooden sticks one by one to meet the Buddha Kulun, and then dragged the corpses out of the mud pond with a long fishing hook and rod, stripped off their clothes, cut off their heads, and carefully disposed of them with lime and salt. Those armor and weapons were washed with clean water to clean the mud and wipe the armor and weapons anew.

The people of the Xibe Ecuadorian tribe are now equipped like the outfits of a group of Qing soldiers. If it weren't for the lack of Qing soldiers' banners, dragons and other things, just looking at the armor and weapons, people would not hesitate to draw such a conclusion.

A team of two or three hundred people, with one-color eight-banner spears and tiger guns, all of them wearing heavy armor, helmets with lightning rods on their heads, bones and long knives, birch sickles and other things hanging on the saddles, horse bows on their backs, and quivers full of long feathered arrows. Many people also wore meat-eating knives, fire sickles, flint purses, and other items around their waists.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the fire hammer carried on the backs of dozens of people below Eucuador! This is the original Nanzhong Fire Gun, which Huang Taiji painstakingly collected from all over the place and equipped it for his own elite riders. Unexpectedly, these firecrackers were fished out of the mire without firing a single shot on the northern expedition and became their owners.

Although he had never seen such a weapon, but the number was so scarce, and it was so valued by the thieves, Ecuador was full of muscles and bones in his head, and he could guess the benefits of this weapon. No matter how much Bomu Bogol threatened and lured, he just refused to hand over all these firearms. "This is my hunting ground, and the prey is naturally chosen by me first!" Bomu Bogol was forced to have no choice. He had to exchange his hunting ground with a radius of more than 200 miles with Ecuador, and only then did he spend more than 200 firearms in his hand, and the remaining dozens of firecrackers became the standard equipment of Xibe warriors.

The sun had already risen high, and the early spring sun shone on the faces of the men in armor, and the Qing army was better. With the harsh military discipline, people don't dare to talk nonsense, so they can only keep licking their dry lips with their scarlet tongues to make it as moist as possible. However, the soldiers and horses of the Sauron Department are not so particular, some people pick up the big copper kettle snatched from the hands of the Jiannu officers and soldiers, raise their necks and grunt to pour water, and those who do not have a kettle can only watch others drink water with envy, muttering to themselves. Take a few sips of water from the sheepskin kettle.

"Almost, pass on my will, the striker presses up!"

"Order, if you want to build slaves, helmets, armor, weapons, and horses, give them to me!"

The commanders of both armies had similar orders. However, Huang Taiji found out that the other party began to slack off, thinking that the fighter plane had arrived. Bomu Bogol, on the other hand, found that if he didn't attack again, the soldiers and horses of his tribes would be scattered to find water.

After a while, they lined up. Both sides slowed down a mile away and slowly formed their formations.

It wasn't a long march. Both sides sent out their respective ranger scouts to roam around, harassing each other's marches, going to the opponent's formation to reconnoitre, and constantly chasing and fighting.

Two cavalry teams that also came from the mountains and forests of Liaodong showed their skills on the edge of the Songhua River! Compared with the cavalry of the Qing army, the tribal cavalry under Bomu Bogol was more fierce, tenacious, flexible and ferocious, and they suddenly had three or five. Suddenly, more than a dozen, suddenly dozens of people came, groups of whistles in front of the Qing army, on both wings, from time to time to shoot a few arrows, or a few horses swooped over like a whirlwind. Shock the overly prominent Qing army array, stab or chop with the weapons in your hands, and then plunder the horses and corpses of the Qing soldiers as their own trophies!

"Your Majesty! Look there! ”

Someone pointed to a group of people not far away and asked Huang Taiji to watch.

Huang Taiji snorted, raised the telescope in his hand, and with the help of the telescope, Huang Taiji's movements were fully seen.

It was the group of Xibe warriors under Ecuador, a person like a tiger and a dragon, urging the war horses under his crotch to sweep past the Qing army's forward formation like a hurricane, and with the sound of horses' hooves rumbling against the muddy ground, a dull sound of fire rang out from the Xibe horse team!

But it was these men who were good at archery and archery that used their newly acquired firearms in the process of galloping fast horses! These men held their guns flat and roughly pulled the trigger on the Qing army column dozens of paces away. Bursts of white smoke rose into the air, and dozens of projectiles rushed in front of the Qing army, which caught several Qing cavalry off guard, causing a little chaos in the formation of the Qing army.

After the firecracker was fired, all the Xibe riders carried the firecracker behind their backs, took the bow from their backs, and bent the bow to shoot the arrow. The copper-backed iron-tired bow was pulled away, and two or three hundred feathered arrows swooped towards the Qing army's array!

At such a short distance, the bow power of the copper-backed iron-tire bow can shoot through the tree, not to mention that not all of them are Qing soldiers wearing heavy armor? Suddenly, blood splattered in the Qing army's formation, and the screams continued.

Surrounded by seven or eight fierce horses, a Xibe man with a spear was invincible. Everywhere the horse's hooves went, blood splattered and screamed.

"Who is this man?" Putting down the monoculars in his hand, Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the emperor, this person is a leader of the Sauron Xibe Division, and he is called Ecuador!"

"It turns out that he lost thousands of my elites!"

Regarding the composition of the men and horses under the command of Bomu Bogol, it is natural that there are Daur tribes close to the Qing army to report to Huang Taiji. The name of Igador, which made full use of geographical conditions to introduce thousands of Huang Taiji's men and horses into the swamp and annihilate them in one fell swoop, has long been deeply engraved into Huang Taiji's mind.

"Wu Bai!"

"The minions are here!"

Kabush Xianga Laangbang Wu Bai, from the Hubu Chengzheng Ying Ordai who followed Huang Taiji's northern expedition, Badali, the prince of Korqin Tushetu, the prince of Heshuo, Chahar Gulun and Ezhe, and the political counselors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Cunren, Zu Kefa, Duan Xuekong, Sheng Zhongzhu and others, came out and knelt down in front of Huang Taijima.

"Spread the word. Shaoqing wants to drive this Ecuadorian department to me. I will personally lead you to step forward and cut off the head of this fang, which will be used to pay tribute to my two yellow flag warriors! ”

Huang Taiji only felt that his head was about to crack, and the scene in front of him almost angered him! The armor on the body of the Xibe people is his two yellow flags, and the spears, sharp blades, axes, strong bows, and firearms in his hands are also his two yellow flags. is the war horse under the crotch, judging from the body shape of the saddle, there are also many of his two yellow flags. However, it was used by these Xibe people to fight against his two yellow flag elites! Moreover, the warriors of the two yellow flags are not opponents in front of this group of people! How can this not make people angry?!

Wu Bai groaned slightly, then turned his head and turned his horse away, and ordered people to pass the decree to all parts of Jialazhangjing, and the emperor would personally cut off the head of this Ecuador to vent his anger.

However, in Wu Bai's opinion. His Majesty the Emperor was only so angry that he said such a thing, so let the various tribes drive this man and his men to the Emperor and kill them all. Could it be that the emperor can personally come down and cut down this Ecuador?

However, he forgot that Huang Taiji was also a very capable son in the Nurhachi family, and he had personally put on armor and wielded a sword countless times back then, and repeatedly made great achievements. Otherwise, he would not have been canonized as one of the four great Baylors. Moreover, with Huang Taiji's character of retribution. Ecuador made him lose men and weapons and did not kill him with his own hands. How can you let Huang Taiji get out of this evil breath in his chest?

After a simple and brief harassment of the rangers, neither side took much advantage, so they could only take back their respective rangers, change horses, rest, and sort out the already scattered team.

After the whole team, the two sides slowly approached again. The atmosphere on the entire battlefield became more solemn and solemn, which was completely different from the beautiful spring light of the wild flowers everywhere.

At about 150 paces, both sides stopped.

After a while, it seemed that after a quarrel on the part of the Saurons, the various divisions poured out, and there were about two or three thousand horses. However, it was still divided according to the tribes, and they were more or less chaotically gathered in one place, without the slightest formation. Behind the cavalry, thousands of infantry, also divided into tribes, were assembled and stood by. In fact, it is a bit wrong to say that they are infantry, they also came on horseback, but in the tribe because of their age, they are not considered the starting lineup, and they don't have such good weapons and armor.

Among the nomadic fishing and hunting peoples, because of the relationship between productivity, it is also a tradition to be noble and strong. In the legends of various nationalities, there is a manifestation of abandonment or dislike of the elderly, which is just a very dark refraction in the process of the development of productive forces.

Looking at the chaotic formation of the Sauron soldiers, Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel sorry, if it wasn't for the fact that he gave up his baggage in order to chase and kill this group of mountain and forest savages, such a distance was exactly the killing range of those big Buddha Lang machines, with the undisciplined nature of these Saurons, they were afraid that after a burst of artillery fire, they would completely collapse, and then their soldiers and horses could happily hunt in this thousand miles of wasteland.

A high-pitched shout came from the formation of the Saurons, and with the shouting, more than a thousand horses rushed out, each with a large sword and spear, and rushed towards this side. Several victories made them believe that the so-called Eight Banners Elite was nothing more than that! Let them underestimate this army from afar in their hearts, in order to snatch those good weapons and armor, they actually launched a raid, and they swarmed out without waiting for Bomu Bogol to pass on the order. However, they are poorly equipped, most of them wear simple leather armor and cotton armor, and only a few of them wear iron armor. Presumably, those remote tribes did not get more and better harvests in the prevailing trade with Long, nor did they get any decent armor and weapons captured in this battle against the Qing army. Eager to change his position and strength, and preemptively attack.

This gives Huang Taiji the best chance!

"Let this group of savages know today that I am powerful at the Qing Dynasty!"

At the end of the order, the four Manchurian cavalry with yellow flags inlaid with Niu Lu each changed their horses, detoured out from the east and west wings, and struck the bee waist of the more than 1,000 horse teams with two sharp arrows, and forcibly cut them into two sections. The two bulls that rushed out from the east and west were each responsible for a section, surrounding these Sauron horse teams in the middle.

For a time, the sound of swords, guns and weapons, the neighing of war horses, and the screams and wails of the dead and wounded resounded in the sky.

Such a scene, the Eight Banners relatives and nobles present have seen a lot. As long as the war goes on to such an extent, there is no suspense. If the Qing army and horses can't even clean up these mountains and forests, then don't think about conquering the Ming Kingdom and conquering the Mongolian tribes!

Someone looked at the killing battlefield in the distance very easily, took out a delicate cigarette stick from his waist, stretched the cigarette pouch and pot into his purse and dug a pot of tobacco, and some accompanying house slaves took the fire and lit a cigarette for their master. The man took a beautiful puff and continued to look at the battle in the distance.

The Sauron people were already a little unable to support it, and some people were constantly stabbed under their horses by the cavalry with yellow flags at the gallop, wielding swords and spears, and gradually the decline was revealed, and the fishing and hunting people could not withstand casualties, and the disadvantages of not being bound by military discipline were all revealed!

"Master! The Sauron barbarians have fled! ”

In the distance, the horse teams and infantry of Sauron's various divisions did not rush to the rescue at all, but instead mounted their horses and fled north in a hurry!

"Want to escape?!"

Huang Taiji's eyes burst out with fierce light! (To be continued......)
