The Hunhe River is not a moat, even if there is no pontoon bridge, the horse can cross the river, the Jiannu army soon rushed across the Hunhe, more than 50,000 against 4,000, and it is still in a flat field, the invincible Jiannu iron cavalry in the field to annihilate this Sichuan-Zhejiang coalition army seems to be not difficult.

However, at this time, the Qi family army vehicle formation has been arranged, this set of vehicle formation is Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou in the northern defense of the Mengyuan Tatar period, a set of infantry, especially firearms infantry to deal with the cavalry of the effective tactics, chariots can be loaded with grain and grass, ordnance, munitions when marching, when stationed can be enclosed as a camp, the defense of the car into a circular defensive position, soldiers to the car as a cover, release firearms artillery, in the battle with Mengyuan and Dongying, the car array has played a major role.

Jiannu didn't know the strength of the chariot formation at this time, and after they crossed the river, they quickly surrounded the chariot array of the Qi family's army, and sent more than 20,000 cavalry of the four banners on the left flank to attack the chariot array.

Now, the terrifying role of the car array came into play.

When the cavalry rushed to 300 paces, the tiger squat cannon of the Qi family army opened fire first, and a volley of platoon guns disrupted the offensive formation of the Houjin army;

When the cavalry rushed to two hundred paces, the crossbows in the chariot formation were fired in unison, and the Jiannu cavalry fell in rows;

Relying on the impact of the cavalry and its own ferocity, Jiannu continued to impact within a hundred paces, and at the same time began to bend the bow and shoot arrows on the horse, but within this hundred steps was the range of the light firearms of the Qi family's army.

Moreover, Jiannu found that the Ming army's firearms summed up in the past were "only three rounds before the enemy", and the experience of the military formation being broken after three bullets was not effective in this Ming army, and the three columns of Qi soldiers behind the car formation rose and fell rhythmically, so that their shooting was always uninterrupted, which was the well-trained three-fold array of firearms of the Qi army.

In the end, there was still a fierce Jiannu cavalry, breaking through the firepower network and impacting in front of the car formation, at this time the Qi family army immediately rushed out of the soldiers holding spears, wolf stalks and other long weapons to form a mandarin duck formation to stab it down, after two rounds of attack, Jiannu fell from the horse casualties amounted to more than 3,000 people.

Just when the main force of the Qi army and Jiannu was in the middle of a fierce battle, the supporting Ming army under the leadership of Zhu Wanliang, Li Bingcheng and other general soldiers marched into the Baitapu area more than ten miles away from Shenyang, and its vanguard successfully repelled the 200 scout cavalry of Houjin, and the Qi army and the remnants of the Sichuan army finally had a glimmer of life.

It's a pity that the general soldiers Li Bingcheng, Zhu Wanliang, Jiang Bishi and others were afraid of the enemy's cowardice, stopped in place and did not dare to step forward, Nurhachi seized the weakness of the Ming army's cowardice, and sent Huang Taiji to lead more than 5,000 cavalry with yellow flags to launch an active attack on the 30,000 Ming army, and the 30,000 Ming army was forced to retreat dozens of miles!

In this way, Jiannu can wholeheartedly prepare to annihilate the elite of the Ming army that has lost its support and retreat, and Nurhachi immediately gave a death order to let the Eight Banners take turns to saturate and attack, no matter what, the elite of the Ming army must be annihilated!

On the south bank of the Hunhe River, three thousand Qi family troops and more than 1,000 Sichuan army white pole soldiers and more than 50,000 Jiannu main force started a bloody battle, the two sides came and went, fought for nearly a day, killed the sky and the earth dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and the corpses killed were all over the field and the blood flowed like a river.

Jiannu's death attack was effective after abandoning the corpses, and after the Qi family's army ran out of bullets, the car formation was finally broken!

After Jiannu broke into the car formation, the Qi family army immediately formed a mandarin duck formation with the sentry as a unit, and launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, in each formation, the pikemen, wolf soldiers, palladium soldiers, rattan soldiers, and knife soldiers covered each other and cooperated with the enemy in a fierce battle, especially those who commanded the mandarin duck array, the hands were fierce and abnormal Qi family sabers, and the long knife was waved where Jiannu was all flesh and blood.

However, the Qi family army was outnumbered after all, coupled with the rapid march for a day and a night and the physical exhaustion caused by fierce battles, the soldiers of the Qi family army continued to fall, and the veteran Chen Ce also fell in a pool of blood after killing more than a dozen enemies.

Seeing that the matter had come to this point, there was no room for recovery, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to evacuate the battlefield, but Qi Jin, the commander of the Qi family's army, grabbed his standing horse and cried bloody: "The husband will serve the country today!" ”

When Tong Zhonghua heard this, a burst of blood surged, and the husband is serving the country today!

He did not hesitate to turn around and enter the battlefield with Qi Jin, not afraid of life and death, just to serve the country!

This tragic battle lasted for a full day, and the battle lasted until the evening, and the only dozens of remaining Qi family army warriors surrounded Qi Jin and Tong Zhonghua and other generals, their mandarin duck array was still not chaotic at all, their eyes were still high-spirited, and they did not show the slightest fear in the face of tens of thousands of Jiannu.

Bloody battle to the end, never retreat, the Ming Dynasty has a military soul, the Qi family army and the Sichuan army are all warriors who are not afraid of death, and the husband sacrifices his life for the country without regrets!

The remnant sun is about to fall, and the last afterglow will reflect the heavens and the earth and the Hunhe River into a bloody color, and tens of thousands of Jiannu troops will surround these dozens of warriors, and no one dares to come forward to fight!

At this time, the Jiannu were all afraid, they were good at close combat, and they had lost the courage to do the last hand-to-hand combat with the only remaining warriors of the Qi family's army!

Finally, Nurhachi ordered all the archers, bending their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

With a loud roar, ten thousand arrows were fired......

Speaking of this, Zhang Bin's eyes were already full of tears, and he said slowly and in a low voice: "Hong'er, remember those warriors, Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghua, Qi Jin, Zhou Dunji, Qin Bangping and Qin Minping and other generals and colonels, all of whom died in battle, 4,000 Sichuan army white pole soldiers, 3,000 Qi family soldiers, and only a few dozen survivors!" They are all good, after recovering Shenyang, I must build a monument for them on the south bank of the Hunhe River, and engrave their names on it, so that people can remember that we have more than 7,000 warriors in the Ming Dynasty who fought with tens of thousands of Jiannu here, and they sacrificed their lives for the country, although they died especially honorably! ”

Zhu Cihong asked with tears in his eyes: "Master, are these true, do I really have such a warrior who is not afraid of death?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded heavily and said: "These are true, when I visited Dingyuan Qijiabao, I met the surviving veterans of the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, these are what he told me, although he can't walk anymore, he still cries to me, he is not afraid of death, he still wants to go to the battlefield, he just wants to fight with his comrades to the end!" ”

Zhu Cihong couldn't help but be curious: "How did they escape?" ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "They didn't escape, they protected the chief soldier Tong Zhonghua to fight his way out of the encirclement, but later, Qi Jin insisted on going to the death, sacrificing his life for the country, and pulled Tong Zhonghua back, and these people were forced by him to stay in the periphery, which can be regarded as a testimony for them to sacrifice their lives for the country." ”

Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth and asked, "What about Jiannu, what about Jiannu's casualties in this battle?" ”

Zhang Bin said proudly: "In this battle, Jiannu also suffered heavy casualties, and there were more than ten staff leaders and assistant leaders killed in the battle, and the elite of the Eight Banners suffered tens of thousands of casualties. Their staff leaders and assistant leaders are comparable to our staff generals and guerrilla generals, and we did not lose this battle, because the casualties of Jiannu were greater than those of the Sichuan army's white pole soldiers and the Qi family army combined! This battle also proves that my Ming Dynasty is not without good soldiers, as long as the generals and commanders appoint people, Jiannu is not more than Erer. This battle also made Jiannu see the bravery of my Ming soldiers, even now, they saw the Qi family army and the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army trembling a little! ”
