To the south of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, six miles outside the Yongding Gate, Zhang Bin stood on his horse, quietly watching the Qi family army arrange the formation in front of him.

At the front, two hundred Wuhan Iron and Steel cars were rapidly lined up, and an iron wall full of spikes was slowly taking shape.

Immediately afterwards, the five thousand foot soldiers quickly lined up one after another mandarin duck formation, dense and neat.

Subsequently, two hundred tiger squat artillery vehicles were pulled by the war horses and slowly lined up in front of him.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Qi family's army in front of him completed the formation.

At this time, Zu Dashou led 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry to slowly gather behind him, and the rest of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicles and Tiger Squat Artillery Carriages also quickly scattered to the two wings, and the border troops and other foot troops behind were also quickly packing up the camp tents and slowly merging into the big array.

Zhang Bin is not in a hurry, because the total distance from Yongding Gate to Nanyuan is only more than 20 miles, and his 200,000 Ming army formation is seven or eight miles long, that is to say, his current location is actually less than 20 miles away from Nanyuan.

Twenty miles, he didn't even need an hour to walk at a pace, so he didn't need to be in a hurry at all.

About half an hour later, the generals of all parties had sent people to summon the news, and the large array was arranged, and only Xie Zhenggang, Qi Fanghua and Zhang Pan's team were left behind him, and the other guards were all sent to patrol and guard around, everything was normal, there was no Houjin army within a radius of more than ten miles, Zhang Bin rubbed his face that was somewhat numb by the cold wind, and then waved his hand and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”

The order flag waved, the command was bursting, and the 200,000 army was activated in an instant, slowly approaching Nanyuan with a solid pace.

At this time, what is Huang Taiji doing?

More than 200,000 Ming troops were gathering, and such a big movement was naturally not enough for him, but as the scouts continued to return, he hesitated.

Is this commander of the Ming army sick or what's wrong, the 200,000 army, huddled together, on the left and right sides and in front of them are chariots with spikes, just like a huge hedgehog!

How the hell does this make people fight?

The front, left, and right sides can't sneak attack, go around to the back, don't joke, there are defenders under the walls behind them, if they pounce, it will be a two-sided attack, it's no different from going to death.

He looked back at the palace that had been living for nearly a month with a little reluctance, and then said loudly: "Order, after Qierharang led the four banners of the left wing to retreat to the Nanyuan wall, the archers were in front of the wall and set up a formation about a mile behind the wall. The four banners on the right flank were assembled behind the four flags on the left flank, and the eight banners of Mongolia were assembled behind the four flags on the right flank. ”

He knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it this time, and the 200,000 troops of the people were huddled together, pressing over in a dignified manner, without any chance to sneak attack, and it was difficult to defeat them!

The overall march of the Ming army was a little slower than Zhang Bin imagined, because the ground was not a flat river, there were always some ditches and ditches and small hills and dirt bags or something, fortunately, at this time, the large and small rivers were already frozen, and they could pass people, otherwise it would be unrealistic for the 200,000 troops to advance in groups.

Such a huge hedgehog array Emperor Taiji really didn't dare to touch the mold, and he couldn't see the shadow of the Houjin Iron Rider all the way, except for the snow, there was nothing around.

The army marched slowly for more than an hour, and at some time, the wall of Nanyuan was already going, Zhang Bin took out his binoculars and took a closer look, this wall was a little troublesome.

Do you go through the gate, it doesn't exist, 200,000 troops squeezed through such a small doorway, I don't know how long it will take, and it is very likely that Huang Taiji will take the opportunity to sneak attack.

For the wall, he has already prepared, but he is not in a hurry, now, the most important thing is to figure out how Huang Taiji is arranged behind the wall, Zhang Bin thought about it, and then ordered: "Order the two teams in front of you to climb the wall and take a look." ”

The two guards behind him immediately galloped away, and after a while, two special operations teams gathered in front of the army, beating horses and rushing straight to the wall!

Soon, they came to the wall on both sides, and half of them did not hesitate to turn over and dismount, erect the human wall, and then one of them quickly climbed up, carefully poking his head out.

Fortunately, there was no danger, Zhang Bin put down the binoculars and sighed.

At this time, the army was only about a mile away from the wall, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army should stop advancing and stand by in place." ”

Another wave of order flags, and with the sound of orders, the 200,000 army slowly stopped.

After a while, someone from the two special operations teams in front came to report back, and the Houjin army was all assembled about a mile behind the wall.

This is easy to do, Zhang Bin directly ordered: "Order, the Chinese army hits the city hammer, up, bulldoze the wall four miles ahead!" ”

The so-called ram is a group of ten people, carrying a thigh-thick log, this specification of the log is used to hit the city wall is naturally a joke, but it is more than enough to hit the wall.

As early as when the army began to gather in the south of the city, Zhang Bin thought about how to break through this wall and bulldoze it, which was the best way.

With a burst of orders, 20,000 steps, carrying 2,000 such logs, rushed to the wall quickly, and Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the Chinese army, actually rushed to the front with a horse!

Lu Xiangsheng likes to take the lead, this Zhang Bin is clear, he didn't say anything, and watched their movements silently.

20,000 people quickly rushed to the wall, and under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, they soon lined up in a dense row about 20 steps away from the wall.

It was really dense, the four-mile-long wall was only two thousand meters, and 20,000 people lined up, with an average of ten people per meter, and they had to carry a ram to hit the city, which was so dense that it was almost people next to each other!

The formation was quickly arranged, and Lu Xiangsheng directly raised his hand and waved down, shouting: "Up!" ”

"Rush!" 20,000 people shouted in unison, carrying logs and crashing into the wall.

With a loud bang, the four-mile-long wall collapsed in an instant!

Qierharang behind the wall was startled, and he also sent someone to climb the wall to take a look, and the Ming army seemed to be gathering a mile away from the wall.

He was still thinking about how the Ming army would rush in, and suddenly, a tsunami-like voice sounded from behind the wall: "Rush! ”

He couldn't help but be dumbfounded, what are you rushing, there is a wall in the middle, okay, rushing up and hitting the wall?

Hitting the wall is hitting the wall, but not with people, but with wood, with a loud "bang", before he understood what was going on, the wall in front of him collapsed for a few miles!

After collapsing the wall, the 20,000 Ming troops did not retreat immediately, but carried the giant wood and continued to smash downward, smashing the lower half of the wall where it had not collapsed.

Can't get on such a good opportunity?

A mile away, the cavalry arrived in an instant, and the more than 20,000 people, carrying huge trees, were pounding there, it was estimated that it would be difficult to run away, and it was not enough to eat 20,000 at a time?

Qierharang only hesitated for a moment, and then made a wrong decision in an instant, he actually waved his hand and shouted: "Above, kill those 20,000 horses." ”

With that, he took the lead in beating the horse and rushed out, and then the elite rider behind him did not hesitate to follow the horse and rush up.

This, Zhang Bin also mentioned when he rehearsed with him, and they already had a plan to deal with it.

Lu Xiangsheng has to admire at this time, Zhang Bin is really amazing, he has considered all kinds of possibilities, what should he do if he encounters such a situation?

Over there, as soon as Qierharang started, Lu Xiangsheng immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Throw away the ram and withdraw." ”

The 20,000 steps had already been prepared, and as soon as the front cavalry of Jiannu started, they threw the logs to the ground one after another, spread their feet and ran to both sides of the car formation.

When he was fleeing for his life, the potential of the people was brought into play, and it was called a fierce one, and Qierharang led the army to rush to the wall, and the foot soldiers who hit the wall had already run back half a mile away.

At this time, all the Houjin Iron Cavalry rushed over, and Qierharang's face changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Don't rush too forward, put a round of arrows and retreat." ”

A command flag waved, and the cavalry in the front row took off their longbows at the same time, and were about to shoot arrows at the Ming army foot soldiers who were running last, when a huge roar suddenly sounded in the Ming army formation in front.

"Boom, boom." There was a loud bang, and more than two hundred fist-sized cannonballs quickly covered down.

"Ahhh , There was a scream, and suddenly hundreds of people were smashed and vomited blood and flew upside down.

However, their arrows also shot out, but unfortunately, the Ming army's foot soldiers ran too fast, and they only shot hundreds of people, and very few fell to the ground, and most of them ran away with arrows on their backs!

Looking at the chariot array covered with spikes, Qierharang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw." ”

As soon as his words fell, "boom, boom", there was another loud bang, and more than 200 shells fell down, killing more than 100 people in an instant.

Fortunately, they turned around in time, and the third wave of artillery shells of the Ming army did not hit anyone, and Qierharang lost more than 200 horsemen at once, and he couldn't help but feel distressed for a long time.

Zhang Bin looked at the Houjin Tieqi and ran away in an instant, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and then ordered: "Order, Lu Xiangsheng led the people to continue to clean up the wall, and the artillery quickly loaded the guns, and reloaded all the three guns that were used just now." ”

A few people died, which was nothing for an army of 200,000, Lu Xiangsheng ordered another 20,000 foot soldiers, quickly rushed to the wall, picked up logs and continued to clean up.

This time, Qierharang no longer dared to be stupid, and could only watch as the Ming army slowly smashed the wall flat.

Zhang Bin carefully observed the terrain with a telescope, and when Lu Xiangsheng led the people to smash the wall and all the people retreated, he waved his hand and said, "Keep going." ”

Another wave of command flags, and with the sound of orders, the 200,000 army slowly pressed forward.

At this time, Qierharang was dumbfounded, the foot soldiers directly attacked the cavalry, and this kind of thing, they were the only ones who had to impact the foot soldiers!

He thought about it for a while, and simply said to a personal guard: "Quick, go to the rear and ask the Great Khan, the Ming army has demolished the wall and is slowly approaching, what should I do?" ”

Huang Taiji was actually about three miles behind him, and he could run back and forth in a tea time with a horse gallop, and the guard quickly reported back: "The Great Khan has an order, don't fight hard, if you can't stand it, retreat and join it." ”

At this time, the Ming army's forward chariot had already crossed the wall, and Qierharang was still thinking about it, can it be resisted, how can it be regarded as unbearable?

Zhang Bin quickly gave him an answer to this question, and the Ming army did not directly force over, and suddenly stopped again at a distance of about two hundred steps.

Qierharang knew that the Ming army was preparing to open fire, so he hurriedly ordered, hurry, all retreat a hundred steps.

Fuck it, Zhang Bin was about to give the order for an artillery bombardment, when the front and rear Jin Tieqi suddenly began to retreat, and at a distance of almost a mile, they stopped again and turned their horses' heads towards this side.

It seemed that artillery bombardment was no longer realistic, and he directly ordered: "Keep moving forward and prepare for engagement." ”

Why, as soon as I stop, you retreat, I don't stop, just rush up, see what you do.

Qierharang really thought so, when the Ming army stopped, it was about to set up artillery, and he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to stop and wait to eat the shells, so he decided that as soon as the Ming army stopped, he would retreat to a safe distance, as for what the Ming army would do if it didn't stop, he really didn't think about it.

Three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, looking at the approaching Ming army, his head was big, he led nearly 30,000 elite horsemen, and he didn't do anything, so he was forced to retreat by the Ming army's foot soldiers?

Seeing that the Ming army was gradually approaching the range of the bow and arrow, he gritted his teeth, raised his hand and ordered: "Prepare the bow and arrow." ”

He thought, at least a few rounds of arrows, see the effect and then pull it, otherwise it would be too embarrassing!

On the side of the Ming army, Zhang Bin also ordered: "Prepare the musket." ”

A distance of about a hundred paces, the two of them ordered almost at the same time: "Put." ”

"Whoosh." , a rain of arrows covered the Ming army chariot.

"Bang bang." , a row of bullets flew towards the rear gold iron horseman.

The soldiers under the chariot naturally had nothing to do, but there was a scream in the front row of the Houjin Iron Cavalry, although few people got off their horses, but countless were injured!

How can this be fought?

Qil Harang also didn't care about face, and directly ordered: "Withdraw, go and join the Great Khan." ”

The Houjin Iron Cavalry suddenly retreated like a tide, but Zhang Bin did not order the Ming army to stop advancing, and the 200,000 Ming army slowly pressed forward, and in less than two quarters of an hour, it was forced to the front of the main army of the Houjin led by Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji looked at the slowly approaching Ming army, and directly ordered: "Order, Qierharang leads the four banners on the left wing to the left, and the four banners on the right wing follow me to the right, retreat to the left and right sides of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and wait for the opportunity to move." ”

As a result, the Houjin Eight Banners retreated three miles and came directly to the left and right flanks of the Mongolian Eight Banners behind.

The Mongolian Eight Banners are not all cavalry, they also have a lot of foot soldiers, the whole array looks a little scattered, but the number of people is more than 100,000, so far, the two sides of the army finally gathered together, the Ming army is 200,000, and the Houjin Eight Banners plus the Mongolian Eight Banners are about 150,000 in total.

There was no confrontation, Zhang Bin didn't order to stop at all, and the 200,000 Ming army slowly pressed towards the Mongolian Eight Banners.

What is this for, the leaders of the Mongolian tribes are dumbfounded, let them face the 200,000 Ming army, the front row of the people is still full of spikes, how is this good?

Zhang Bin didn't care about it, just led the 200,000 Ming army and pressed it directly.

Soon, the two sides were close to a hundred paces away, the "whooshing" archery and the "popping" gunfire rang non-stop, and after two rounds of shooting, the Mongolian Eight Banners could not hold on, and the musket bullets could not be stopped at all, and thousands of people in the front row were almost injured.

As a result, the Mongol army began to slowly retreat, but the Ming army continued to advance slowly.

Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji's eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character, the Ming army is too stable, no matter how they retreat on their side, they just move forward slowly, and they can't pull out a gap for attack at all.

This is still a fart, he said hatefully: "Order, Mongolian Eight Banners, if you can't stand it, you will withdraw, and then the Golden Eight Banners, immediately pack up your things and withdraw." ”

Later, the Golden Eight Banners dispersed around, and soon, they quickly withdrew from the south gate of Nanyuan with the gold, silver, jewelry, grain, and women they had snatched.

Huang Taiji, the commander of the Ming army, has really never encountered it, many times, the generals of the Ming army and even the commander of the Ming army are very easy to deceive, and the people who come to cheat and run away or something will rush up stupidly, and it is not too simple to destroy them, but this commander of the Ming army is not fooled, no matter how you retreat and how you lure, he is just unmoved, and he is still moving forward steadily and steadily.

In the face of this rock-solid and steady style of play, he has no way, he can only hope that the next sports war will break the Ming army, he doesn't believe it, these 200,000 Ming troops can always be together!

His withdrawal of the Mongolian Eight Banners immediately became a little chaotic, and he wanted to let our palace queen, we will give you a fart, and the leaders of the tribes ordered one after another: "Withdraw!" ”

Zhang Bin not only did not order the Ming army to pursue, but raised his hand to stop all the Ming troops, he carefully observed it with a telescope, and soon, he saw that the Mongolian Eight Banners should really be running away.

If you really want to run, then I'm welcome, Zhang Bin directly ordered: "Lingzu Dashou Shuai Guangning Iron Horse, rush up, chase, in addition, let him pay attention to safety, don't chase out of the Nanyuan range." ”

As soon as Guan Ning's iron cavalry rushed up, Mengyuan Eight Banners instantly changed from retreating to fleeing, and the team was chaotic in an instant.

Zu Dashou seized the opportunity, bit the Mongolian Eight Banners, and slashed hard, until the Mongolian Eight Banners escaped from Nanyuan, and he stopped suddenly.
