During this period, the news of the "Red Flag Army's" successive victories spread throughout Shanxi and all parts of the country through the Daming Di Bao and the "Red Flag Daily".

The "Red Flag Daily," a newspaper published by the "Red Banner Army," has become even richer in content, and quite a number of young intellectuals in the army have actively contributed articles, and they have vividly written about the war they have personally experienced.

Huang Han didn't think about making a profit by selling newspapers, and an eight-page "Red Flag Daily" only bought ten yuan, that is, a copper plate, which was not as expensive as "seven copper plates to buy two newspapers" in the lyrics of Nie Er's "Song of Selling Newspapers".

Ten cents for a newspaper is only enough for the cost of paper, printing, and circulation, and it is not even possible to earn back the manuscript fee and labor, so the eight-page newspaper is mixed with a full page and a half of advertising.

Now the advertising business has not made any money, it is all for the "Red Flag Army" system products to do publicity, it is estimated that it will not be long before the Ming businessmen will see the "Red Flag Daily" selling well, and they will feel the benefits of advertising in the newspaper.

When the awareness of advertising is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the "Red Flag Daily" will not need subsidies to be able to keep publication.

The storytellers of many restaurants and tea shops have one more content, reading the newspaper and reading the "Red Flag Daily", because the newspaper is rich in content and has a sense of the times, the audience is increasing, and the circulation of the newspaper is increasing day by day.

When Xu Miaoru was sorting out the documents for her husband, she accidentally found the manuscript "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" written by Huang Han two years ago after rewriting it from memory, and the little girl was deeply attracted by the story after reading it.

In order to fit the background of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Han highlighted the protagonist's loyalty to the country and the famous clan, and increased his pen and ink to describe the deep suffering brought to the Han nation by the occupation of different ethnic groups and the colonization of the Han people's fancy world.

After Xu Miaoru asked for instructions and got Huang Han's permission, she sent a serialized long martial arts article to the "Red Flag Daily" at the end of November of the ninth year of Chongzhen, attracting tens of thousands of readers, making it difficult to find a newspaper in Beijing for a while.

The new style of writing influenced a generation, and too many scholars, juzi, and even scholars began to dislike the Baguwen and formatting, and the more accessible vernacular narrative style gradually began to become popular.

The newspaper reader of the restaurant and tea shop not only told the serialized martial arts out of the storytelling standard, but also told the news of the victory of the "Red Flag Army" to the sky.

There are so many generals in the Ming Dynasty, too many people are red "Red Flag Army" is outstanding, He Renlong, You Shiwei, You Shilu, Wu Zimian, Hou Shilu, etc. all learned that the Qing army was in decline, and the life and death of the slave chieftain did not know, and this was the time to beat the water dogs.

Block the border wall of Yansui Town and block the Qing army, they also want to! After Hong Chengchou gave the order, they actively arranged it, and also organized cavalry for this purpose, intending to get some beheading work.

On the third day of December, Huang Han finally led the "Red Banner Army" to launch an offensive, with 30,000 cavalry in his hands at this time, but more than 10,000 were the Ming army that had just been recruited, and its combat effectiveness and discipline were worrisome.

The "Red Banner Army" did not have the habit of driving friendly troops to be cannon fodder in wars, and the vanguard and main attacking troops were all selected from the strongest.

Therefore, the men and horses who launched the attack were still the descendants of the "Red Banner Army". It's just that due to the need to deploy and defend, there is a shortage of four battalions of infantry, and the total number of troops in ten guards is 1,000, and the total number of troops is less than 20,000.

The entrenched Qing army in Shuozhou City and the Han people who had more than 400,000 people covered an area that was too huge, and Huang Han was not arrogant enough to think about encircling and annihilating him.

After all, the Qing army here can gather no less than 50,000 cavalry, and there should be more than 20,000 bannermen and coats with some combat effectiveness.

If the "Red Banner Army" adopts the tactics of besieging from all sides, there will only be about 15,000 men and horses in each direction, which is a little thin.

Dolgon is not an ordinary person, he chooses to concentrate tens of thousands of troops to break through a little, not only will the net of encirclement and annihilation be torn, but the "Red Banner Army" will also produce a lot of casualties.

For the sake of safety, but also to avoid too much loss and to avoid hundreds of thousands of Han people from harming the pond fish during the melee, Huang Han personally led more than 40,000 "Red Banner Army" regular soldiers and about 20,000 guards to Shuozhou City.

Dolgon, Duoduo, Wakda and other Qing generals led their men and horses to meet the battle, and the armies of both sides encountered a place called Shibalipu in the south of Shuozhou City.

The tactics of the "Red Banner Army" were simple, a huge army formation approached at a constant speed of ten miles per hour, and the one-pound Furlong machine gun cart was loaded, and it could be fired as soon as it was necessary to fire and stop, and the speed would not be slower than that of the self-generated three-stage attack.

The cold-armed infantry advancing in formation had their bows unsheathed, and the hot-armed infantry were loaded with bayonets, and their guns were loaded with lead bullets ready to be released.

The cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" was still divided into two left and right wings, the left wing was led by Hanzi, and the right wing was Yang Danian in charge, and their task was to hold the position of the army and wait for the artillery to ravage the Qing army and launch a cavalry group charge.

All the officers and men of the "Red Banner Army" are ready, the troops dispatched by the Ming and Jiannu sides are almost the same, and what is about to break out is a decisive battle of more than 100,000 people, and who will be the winner is about to be revealed.

Dolgon, Duoduo, Wakda and other generals have been using clairvoyance to observe the array that the "Red Banner Army" is advancing, and they are not afraid at this time, because the cavalry of the Ming army is only thirty percent faster than it can be fast.

The Qing army is a full cavalry, because of the looting of too many cities in the Ming Dynasty, too many captures, now most of the regular soldiers have two horses, and the mobility is obviously stronger than the "Red Banner Army".

Under normal circumstances, an army with strong mobility will be able to dominate the battlefield, and it is up to the side that has the mobility to decide whether or not to fight.

If it weren't for the capture of more than half of the Qing army accumulated in the past six months in Shuozhou City, Dolgon would have given the order to retreat, and he would have concentrated his cavalry on the way back to choose favorable terrain to fight with the pursuing soldiers.

Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger and have to face a decisive battle, Dolgon really has no bottom in his heart, and even Dordor, who has always been arrogant, has chosen to remain silent at this time.

Seeing that Prince Rui and Prince Yu did not express their position, Wakda, who had already gathered 3,000 people with red flags, had no choice but to ask for an order to organize a tentative attack.

Wakda was also forced to be a scoundrel, if he hadn't experienced a vicious battle, Shuozhou City was lost, and the first person responsible was him, there is no doubt that he was questioned and killed.

At this time, if you are willing or unwilling, you have to go out and work hard, don't be delusional to preserve the strength of the Red Flag, the two uncles of the two white flags who are younger than him cannot use their lineage to take the lead.

Wakda knew that the fourteenth and fifteenth uncles intended to protect the two white flags, and after coming to Shuozhou City, he let the two white flags and two thousand men and horses under his command return to the building, for a high-sounding reason, and the brothers of the same flag knew each other to facilitate command.

After the model of sending 1,000 troops from each banner was destroyed by Dolgon, Wakda also concentrated the 3,000 Zhenghongqi men and horses that could be organized, in fact, he also thought that the command of the brothers in this banner was more handy, and the eight banners would have seven or eight thoughts.
