So, he immediately tidied up his official robes and looked very formal and serious. Then he turned around and strode down the arrow tower to the inner side of the city wall, looking at the dense crowd of human heads in the city. He looked down at the solemn phalanx, sweeping past the Qin army infantry under his original command, as well as the infantry belonging to the Yongwei battalion.

Suddenly, he shouted: "This battle has been planned for many days, and I don't know what to do. Half-crossing and attacking have been victories since ancient times! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Chuanting glanced at the generals in front of the phalanx, and then continued to shout loudly: "The emperor has high hopes for this battle, you should all know how we got here!" The emperor has always been concerned that the military exploits made in this battle will be reported to the emperor. Those who have made great contributions should also know the emperor's personal promise. ”

He was referring to the words that Emperor Chongzhen said when the Qin army arrived at the outskirts of Beijing that day. The soldiers of the Qin army, of course, can remember this. And these soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion have been with the Qin army for many days, so they naturally heard about it from their comrades in the Qin army.

Before the Qin army, it had also annihilated about 5,000 Jianyu infantry troops, and when they were fighting against Jianguo, their psychological disadvantage was no longer obvious. Now with Sun Chuanting's agitation, it is even more different.

Because they are illiterate, and Lord Zhongcheng is from Jinshi. For them, Master Zhongcheng's knowledge must be very powerful, and he knows the past and the present. Since he has said it, there has never been a defeat in a half-fought war like the one now. As soon as they heard such words, the confidence of these Ming soldiers increased a lot.

As a result, the soldiers of the Ming army in Tianjin City, when they heard Lord Zhongcheng say that such a war would be won since ancient times, and remembered what the emperor said, they were suddenly full of energy, and they all looked forward to this battle being fought quickly.

"The opportunity to seal the wife and the son, and the opportunity to worship the marquis, the official has already given it to you. Now, it's up to you! After Sun Chuanting said this, he turned his head and ordered the soldiers on the side: "Light the wolf smoke!" ”

Outside the city, the Weihe, the three erected passages, except for the leftmost one, the farthest from Tianjin City, which has been passing through the vehicle, the other two passages are numb Ming people, urged by the Manchu Qing Tartars, subconsciously follow the people in front of them.

Suddenly, a woman walking on the side was squeezed, suddenly unable to stand, fell down the passage, fell on the ice, and fell. I tried to get up again, but my feet slipped and I fell again.

Not far from her, there was an ice cave, and corpses could be seen soaking in the exposed ice water. In many places on the side, there are the corpses of the people of the Ming Dynasty, all of which have fallen, and their bodies are full of arrows.

The woman realized something, and quickly turned her head to look, only to see that there were already Jianyu Tartars on the shore with bows and arrows.

"Don't!" She was frightened and hurried to get up, but because she was crawling, she was very close to the ice hole, and the ice near the ice hole seemed to continue to crack. If she panicked, it would probably cause the ice to crack and grow, which would threaten the passage, and this is the reason why the Jianyu Tartar shot directly to avoid destroying the ice after discovering that someone had fallen.

Or if you see too many people who have fallen on the ice being shot to death, no one walking on the passage has stopped, not even a glance. The woman was a little desperate, knowing that she would be shot there, she couldn't help but feel sad, and immediately burst into tears and shouted "Dad, mother, my daughter has come to see you......"

But at this moment, suddenly a spear stretched out in front of her, and at the same time, someone scolded and said: "Stinky woman, if you don't want to die, stop it." ”

When the woman saw this, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed the barrel of the gun, and then, the man in the passage, dragged her like this, and hurried to the shore.

The Tartar, who was holding a bow and arrow, saw that someone had actually pulled the woman away, so he put down his bow and arrows, and cursed at the same time.

In this process, there were people in the Ming Dynasty who had passed, and they reacted a little, and after looking at the one who saved people, they found that it was a second tartar, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and regained their numb expressions.

When she arrived at the shore, the woman let go of the spear, got up, and hurriedly wanted to thank her, but suddenly found that the person who saved her was actually a second tartar, or the second tartar who killed her eldest sister. Suddenly, his grateful face disappeared again, and he lowered his head and prepared to walk into the crowd.

And those two Tartars who supervised the people of the Ming Dynasty on the side, some people couldn't look at it and said: "Yo, you stinky girl, Lord Wu saved you, and you didn't even have a word of thanks?" ”

This Lord Wu is naturally Wu Zhong. And this woman is Gao Qingxue's sister. There was only one left, and the others were dead.

Wu Zhong listened to the grievances of the two Tartars under him, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye, and quickly turned his head to look, only to see that in the city of Tianjin, there were three puffs of smoke rising, very thick, and rising higher and higher.

At this time, many people saw it and turned their heads to look at this sudden situation.

Among the two tartars, many of them had seen this kind of smoke, and at this glance, they were immediately taken aback and said: "Wolf smoke!" ”

"Yes, that's right, it's wolf smoke!"

"Hey, this is not a border pass, how can there be wolf smoke?"

"That's right, the wolf smoke is used to transmit messages on the beacon tower at the border pass, is there any news that the Ming army in Tianjin City wants to transmit?"

“……”

Listening to their words, even many numb and desperate people of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but look up. Looking at the wolf smoke, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

This wolf smoke came suddenly, is it a signal that the imperial court sent an army to save people?

However, as soon as this thought came to mind, it quickly went out again. Everyone wants to be rescued by the imperial army, and no one wants to go to Liaodong to be a slave and a maid, but how can the imperial army come here to save people?

Wu Zhong was also puzzled, he didn't know that it had been two days since Jianyu came here, why did the wolf smoke rise?

In the midst of doubt, suddenly, the gate of Tianjin suddenly opened, and a group of Ming troops rushed out. As long as you stay in the army for a longer time, you can immediately find that the Ming army that went out of the city is definitely not the army of the local guard, but a well-equipped elite.

Although there were Jianyu Tartars guarding Tianjin City, they didn't expect the Ming army to rush out, and for a while, they were caught off guard and failed to react at the first time.

And there seemed to be an endless stream of Ming troops in the city gate, so they rushed out in a steady stream, and rushed straight in the direction of the three passages on the Wei River.

Seeing that the Ming army really rushed out to fight with Jianyu, many people suddenly showed anticipation. In their hearts, they longed for the imperial army to win the battle and save them all.

However, it seems that the imperial army has never won the Jianyu, and there are some well-informed people who know the rumors that the Jianyu field is invincible. Therefore, although they look forward to it, they do not have much faith in their hearts. In addition to praying to the gods and Buddhas in their hearts that the court officials and soldiers would win, they could only stop there and watch.

At this time, even those two Tartars were standing there, looking at the Qing army outside Tianjin, which was already preparing to meet it in the whole team, and the Ming army was also charging forward bravely, and the two armies would soon collide together.

Who wins? Who loses?

The people of the Ming Dynasty and the two Tartars obviously thought that the Manchu army could win. However, Dolgon, who was in the military tent on the south bank of the Wei River, hurriedly came out to take a look, and his face suddenly changed, and he immediately ordered: "Quick, pass on the order of the king of this king, immediately send elite infantry to reinforce the other bank, shoot all the Han dogs on the passage, and quickly vacate the passage!" ”

Hearing this, the guards around him immediately went to give the order. The guards who stayed were strange, and one of them, relying on his own Dolgon's pleasure, asked puzzledly: "Master, our Qing Dynasty has about 20,000 troops on the other side, are we still afraid of these Ming troops?" ”

When the other guards heard this, they all nodded. In their opinion, the Qing army's fight against the Ming dog should be calculated at least according to the ratio of one to three. Now there are about 20,000 troops on the other side of the river, at least the Ming army will come about 60,000 to be the opponent of the Qing army, so why do you need to be in such a hurry to send reinforcements to the other side?

These guards are all Dorgon's henchmen. At this time, when he saw that they were puzzled, he frowned and explained to them: "The Ming army is smoking, it must be for communication, and there must be an ambush of the Ming army around, this is one of them." ”

When he said this, he was also a little strange in his heart. The Qing army on the other side of the river, there are also probe horses, if the Ming army saw the wolf smoke rushed over, unless it was a cavalry, otherwise the infantry army would have been discovered by the probe horse. However, he has fought a lot with the Ming Kingdom, so he naturally knows that the Ming Kingdom is actually short of horses, even if there are cavalry troops, how many cavalry can there be? Two thousand, three thousand? Even if it's 5,000, it's sky-high, right?

If this is the case, this Tianjin city is not big, and there is an upper limit on the strength of the troops, and the two are combined, and the strength of the Ming army is still limited in the end. But is the commander of the Ming Army so stupid?

There were doubts in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out, and at the same time he continued to explain to his personal guards: "Second, the Ming army dared to take the initiative to attack out of the city, there must be a certain certainty. You see, the Ming army that went out of the city, watching its march and charge, maintained its formation, which shows that this is the elite soldiers of the Ming Kingdom! This ......"

If Yue Tuo was here, he might be able to recognize that it was Qin Jun who rushed out from the opposite side. Dolgon hadn't seen it, and he didn't expect it for a while, after all, in his impression, Qin Jun should be following behind.

However, the next moment, he saw the army that followed the Qin army, which he was very familiar with, the army that impressed him on the side of Jinan Mansion, the Yongwei Battalion of the Forbidden Army of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom. Suddenly, when he was explaining to the guards, he broke off all of a sudden. Since the Yongwei battalion is here, according to the elite in front, it must be the Qin army.

By this time, Dolgon still didn't understand why the Yongwei Battalion and the Qin army appeared in Tianjin. Obviously, they are much behind them, how did they go to the front of the Qing army?

That said, but it did not prevent him from judging the situation. Seeing him, he immediately turned his head and ordered: "Quick, immediately send Bayala to cross the river and seize control of the passage, and the passage must not be destroyed by the Ming army." ”

Dolgon was obviously not optimistic about the army deployed outside Tianjin on the other side, and felt that they would definitely not be able to resist the Ming army. He also felt that ordinary troops might not be able to keep the passage if they killed him, so he directly used the trump card in his hand.

However, in the past, no one thought that there would be a war, so no one would wear three layers of armor and be ready for war at any time. If the Bayala soldiers want to attack, it will take time to prepare.

At this moment, the two armies outside Tianjin collided together. Suddenly, the red and black formations suddenly became you have me, I have you.

On the north bank of the Wei River, the people of the Ming Dynasty were guarded everywhere, and the Manchu troops who were on guard everywhere all began to assemble immediately, and the leader was the Manchu Qing forward general Turg, who immediately began to command, and dispatched a part of the troops to support the war under the city of Tianjin.

However, the Ming army continued to drive out of Tianjin City, and the offensive of the Qin army in front was blocked, and the Yongwei battalion in the back immediately killed it from the side. The Ming general at the head, under the escort of the personal guards, is simply a person blocking and killing, and the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha. In front of him, there was hardly a one-man enemy. It was only a moment's work to kill the Jianyu army formation in front of him.

Covered in blood, it was as if he had come out of a sea of blood. Behind him, a big flag fluttered in the wind, embroidered with the word "Zhou", this Ming general, is Zhou Yuji, a fierce general in the Yongwei battalion.

After killing the opponent, Zhou Yuji immediately led his men straight to the bank of the Wei River. Before he left the city in advance, Sun Chuanting had specially instructed him to lay three passages as soon as possible, so that the Jianyu on the other side of the river would not have a chance to reinforce.

At this time, the entire north bank of the Weihe River was a bit chaotic.

The people, animals and materials that have crossed the river are about half of the plundered by Jianjiao, about 200,000, which is also quite large-scale and countless people. Surrounded by vehicles carrying supplies and wealth, and the Manchu army was scattered around, they had to go around if they wanted to assemble; If you want to reinforce this side of the Wei River, you must also go around. It can be said that the Manchu army plundered the people, animals and materials, at this time, caused them great inconvenience.

In addition, although there are about 20,000 horses, many of them are two Tartars, and they have to leave people to watch the people of the Ming Kingdom, so it is impossible to send 20,000 horses to reinforcements at once.

However, the Manchu army had an advantage, they had cavalry. And Turg sent the cavalry for reinforcements as soon as possible. Although there is a detour, it does not take much time for the cavalry.

In this battle to the north of the Wei River, at the beginning, it was obvious that the Ming army had the advantage. However, after the Manchu cavalry reinforcements passed, it was difficult to say whether the battle would be won or lost. And if the Ming army did not have time to occupy the three passages and let the Manchu army on the south bank reinforce it, it would be defeated.
