On the road from Gaizhouwei to Haizhouwei, 100,000 Ming troops are lining up in a long line, slowly moving forward, their speed is not very fast, but the pace is extremely firm, all the soldiers have no panicked expressions on their faces that they are about to face a strong enemy, some are just resolute and fearless.

In front of the long dragon, Zhang Bin held the reins and rode his horse behind the Qi family's army, not slow, his expression was quite calm, as if he was not going to a decisive battle with Jiannu at this time, but to go on an outing.

At this time, a scout horse suddenly galloped from the direction of Haizhou, and the speed was as fast as a whirlwind.

Zhang Bin raised the telescope hanging on his chest and glanced at it slightly, then raised his hand to summon a team of guards, beat his horse to the side of the road, and stopped there and waited silently.

Soon, the scout rode to the front, and the scout on the horse did not turn over and dismount, but directly arched his hand on the horse's back and said: "Report, my lord, the front is the Haizhou Wei Territory." ”

Zhang Bin nodded slightly, and then asked, "How many miles is there from Haizhou City?" ”

The detective arched his hand again, "There are still about eighty miles." ”

Zhang Bin waved his hand, motioning for the scout to continue investigating, and then raised the telescope to look around.

The road leading from Gaizhouwei to Haizhouwei was built on the edge of the watershed, with endless mountains to the east and endless plains to the west, which was already close to the war zone, and there were no ordinary people around, and the farmland had long been deserted, except for wild grass and mud, and there was almost nothing but weeds and dirt.

He put down his binoculars and thought for a while, and then said to the guards beside him: "The order, the whole army will form a formation on the plain to the west, with the Qi family army in the front, the Fuguang army in the left and right rear flanks, and the Tianxiong army and the Sichuan army in the center. ”

Soon, the Qi family army in front turned to the plain to the west, and the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot and the Tiger Squat artillery carriage immediately spread horizontally, and they were lined up more than two miles wide;

The Fuguang army also began to disperse to the two wings, lined up in two longitudinal long dragons, which were more than three miles long;

The Tianxiong army and the Sichuan army also lined up one after another behind the Qi family's army, and slowly extended to the back, and it took nearly an hour for the entire large array to be arranged.

At this time, if there is a Jiannu scout riding in the distance, he will definitely be stunned, because the periphery of the Ming army's array is layered on top of each other, and it is full of chariots, just like a fortress!

Huang Taiji received the news, his brows couldn't help frowning, this Zhang Bin is really careful, as soon as he entered the Haizhou Wei Territory, he began to arrange troops, and the periphery was full of damn chariots, so he couldn't lead the cavalry to sneak attack, this guy must have known that he ambushed the cavalry nearby!

Of course, Zhang Bin knew that Huang Taiji wanted to encircle the point to send reinforcements, if it weren't for the chariots of the Qi family army and the Fuguang army, he would not dare to lead 100,000 horses to support Haizhou, because Jiannu's cavalry was more than 100,000, and if they were raided by them on the march, even if the muskets and artillery were estimated, they would have to suffer a big loss.

This is different with a chariot, he can completely use the chariot to block the cavalry on the periphery, and attack from a distance with muskets and artillery, even if Huang Taiji has more than 100,000 cavalry, there is no way to take him.

However, there is also a disadvantage of not marching in a large array, that is, the speed is too slow, and it is not until about the afternoon that the army has advanced more than 20 miles, and there are still more than 50 miles away from Haizhou City.

Zhang Bin was not in a hurry, he directly ordered the army to camp in the same place, and he did not let the chariot be assembled again, but placed it around the camp, and it was used as a chariot!

Huang Taiji received the news, his brows furrowed again, when he encountered an enemy like Zhang Bin, he really fell into blood mold for eight lifetimes, and people didn't even give a chance when they were marching!

He also knew that against Zhang Bin, even if he had an advantage in troops, he would avoid fighting a positional battle with him, because Zhang Bin's troops all had one thing in common, that is, there were surprisingly many muskets and artillery, and if they were allowed to line up in formation and then attack, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Originally, he wanted to sneak attack on the way to see if he could defeat him, and even if he couldn't defeat him, it would weaken his strength, so that it would be more beneficial to him in the decisive battle.

Now it's okay, there is no chance, only to fight a positional battle, to defeat the 100,000 Ming army, I don't know how to lose men and horses!

Zhang Bin naturally knew what Huang Taiji was most afraid of, he summed up the experience of Ning Yuan and Ning Jin, and came to a conclusion, when Jiannu forces have an absolute advantage, if you want to overthrow them, you have to defend the city.

However, at this time, he came to support Haizhou City, and he was marching all the way, and there was no city to defend at all, so he came up with this turtle formation that looked like a city surrounded by chariots.

In other words, it's okay for him to ignore the Turtle Formation Emperor Taiji, how can he let the Emperor Taiji attack him with all his might?

Of course he has a way to do this, early the next morning, he was still waiting in the turtle formation, so he lined up in a neat phalanx and slowly moved towards Haizhou City, Huang Taiji still had nothing to do with it, he could only watch him approach Haizhou City.

This row moved forward in a neat formation, the speed was naturally extremely slow, this day, until the afternoon, he only advanced more than 30 miles in total, there were still about 20 miles away from Haizhou City, and there were still more than 10 miles away from Azig's white flag camp, he was still not in a hurry, and he stood down the camp in the same place, and the chariot was still placed around the camp as a disgrace.

Huang Taiji received the news, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, you grind, you grind for me slowly, there is a white flag and a Han Eight Banner camp in the south of Haizhou City, I see how you grind the past.

He was thinking that if Zhang Bin wanted to lead the army through the camp with the white flag and the Han Eight Banners, he would definitely have to open a formation and wave the army to attack, once he rushed into the camp with the white flag and the Han Eight Banners, the turtle shell array put forward by Zhang Bin would naturally break, and when the time came, he would definitely be able to defeat it if he waved his army again!

He thought of this method well, Azig was angry, Nima, you actually let the Ming army break through my camp, do you want to be so tricky?

Whether Huang Taiji wants to defeat Zhang Bin or pit Azig, Zhang Bin has already led reinforcements to the vicinity of Haizhou City, and this battle is inevitable.

Early the next morning, Zhang Bin was still waiting in the turtle formation, and the neat phalanx slowly approached Azig's camp, and Azig got the order of Huang Taiji, and did not go out of the camp to engage in the battle, but stayed in the camp, waiting for the Ming army to rush in and start a melee.

Huang Taiji had already transferred more than 100,000 Manchurian Eight Banners and Mengbaqi cavalry to the north of Haizhou City, hiding not far behind the Dolgon camp, as long as Zhang Bin led the army to rush into the Azig camp, he would wave his army and rush over and wrap Zhang Bin's dumplings!

A great war unfolded like this, but Zhang Bin did not unfold in the way Huang Taiji imagined, he commanded the army to advance to a hundred steps outside the Azig camp and suddenly stopped, as if he was afraid that hundreds of thousands of troops were ambushed in the camp.

What does this mean?

Huang Taiji received the news, he was really a little anxious, a hundred steps, a hundred steps away, you guy is in there!

Zhang Bin will listen to his genius, at this time, in the Ming army's large array, behind the Qijia army's Wugang chariot, thousands of tiger squatting cannons have been lined up in a neat ten rows, with Zhang Bin's order, "boom, boom" thousands of shells smashed into the Azig camp!

At this time, all the camp tents within more than 100 steps south of the Azig camp were directly smashed, and hundreds of Han Eight Banner foot soldiers hiding behind the camp tents were also smashed over.

Before Azig could react, "boom, boom", there was another roar of artillery, and hundreds of foot soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han were smashed to the ground, and the rest of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were frightened and ran, ignoring Azig's order not to take a step back.

What are you kidding, standing there eating cannonballs, you're sick in the brain!

Seeing this, Azig was dumbfounded, the Ming army was so bombarded, how could he defend this big battalion?

As for those Han Eight Banner foot soldiers, he is not good at punishing others, he ordered that people should not take a step back, the question is that the Ming army is bombarding them with artillery at this time, let them stand there and wait for death!

"Boom, boom", the roar of artillery sounded again, and thousands of shells smashed into the camp, and then, the Ming army's Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot and the ordinary chariot behind directly advanced more than 100 steps, just knocked over Yan Shan, and rushed into the camp as a whole, and the turtle formation was not chaotic at all.

Azig finally understood that the Ming army was going to advance while shelling, and they would not rush up to the melee at all! 166 Reading Network
