A red sun slowly rose, and the brilliant light split the thin morning mist, and the originally silent land suddenly became noisy.

Dolgon did his best to produce elite cavalry, Manchuria was white flags, inlaid with white flags, all the Han army flags, and only hundreds of Mongolian flag cavalry remained in the camp.

After Hong Chengchou came back yesterday, he scolded Ning Wan and me, who asked him to slander the loyal General Hong behind his back?

Hong Chengchou made an appointment with the Mandate of Heaven army in Ningyuan City, which was beneficial to the Qing Dynasty and harmless.

If the Mandate of Heaven army in the city is cowardly, it shows that the majesty of the Qing cavalry is still there, even if the army is withdrawn back to Shengjing, the infantry of the Mandate of Heaven army will not dare to infiltrate Yizhou in the north, let alone pursue it;

If the Mandate of Heaven Army dares to go out of the city for a decisive battle, it is the best, this is a chance to turn the book around!

Dolgon never thought about defeat, if he couldn't even win a field battle, how could the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty go south in the future, and even look at the land of Hebei in the Shanhaiguan?

Although the number of the Heavenly Mandate Army is slightly larger, the cavalry of the Great Qing Dynasty, on the battlefield, who is not one as ten? When facing the Han infantry, it was never a battle, but a massacre!

If the Han people cowered behind the city wall, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty might not have a good way, once they left the city, they would be sent to death, no matter how many came, it was the military merit of the Qing warriors.

The east gate and north gate of Ningyuan City are also slowly opened, the first division of the third battalion, the second division of 40,000 infantry from the Chunhe Gate, Weiyuan Gate out of the city respectively, after they go out of the city gate, not directly rushed to the agreed battlefield, but on the three trenches outside the city, built a lot of wooden bridges, in case the war is unfavorable, the soldiers outside the city can return to the city along the wooden bridge, if the cavalry of the Tartars pursues over, as long as the wooden bridge is destroyed, the cavalry can not cross the trench.

Liu Tingjie's division of the third regiment and Mao Xianwen's division of the fourth regiment of the first division did not accompany them, but stayed in the trenches outside the east and north cities, preparing to take the soldiers back to the city for the decisive battle outside the city.

The remaining 30,000 soldiers, escorted by 20,000 cavalry of the first battalion, marched with solid steps and high spirits to the battlefield in the northeast corner.

Among the 30,000 infantry, the 1st and 2nd regiments of the 1st Division were equipped with rifles, and as the front of the Chinese army, they were divided into three platoons and quickly formed a battle formation.

The 20,000 infantry of the second division followed behind the gunners of the first division, and if the gunners of the first division could not withstand the onslaught of the cavalry, they would cover the retreat of the gunners of the first division with all their might at the cost of their lives.

More than 20,000 cavalrymen from four regiments of the first battalion were divided into the left and right of the central army, guarding the left and right flanks of the infantry.

Li Zicheng has already made two preparations.

If the goal agreed by Hong Chengchou can be achieved, these infantry are all decorations, and they do not need to participate in the battle, at most, after the battle, they will help the cavalry clean up the battlefield;

In case Hong Chengchou's goal is not reached, or Hong Chengchou is simply surrendering, the infantry will be put to use, that is, retreat back to the city, and leave a back road, and the gunners in the trench will respond.

Li Zicheng's only concern was that there were not enough 10,000 gunners on the battlefield, and the Tartars had 35,000 cavalry.

In the unlikely event that the gunners in the middle were broken by the Tartar cavalry, even if the infantry of the 2nd Division went up on top, plus the cavalry of the 1st Battalion on both flanks, it was likely that it would still be a melee situation, and the result could not be predicted......

Li Zicheng silently prayed in his heart: God bless, Hong Chengchou woke up, made contributions to the Mandate of Heaven, and washed away the reputation of "traitor" from now on!

In the middle of Chen, in the northwest direction of Ningyuan City, the Heavenly Mandate Army and the cavalry of the Great Qing Dynasty were all in full formation, and both sides were fully prepared, just waiting for the final military order.

Dolgon glanced at the opposite side, and sure enough, as Hong Chengchou said, the Heavenly Mandate Army participating in the decisive battle was only 50,000, with 10,000 cavalry on each wing, and 30,000 infantry in the Chinese army.

Maybe there were only fifty or sixty thousand defenders in the city!

The corners of his mouth showed a cold smile, with only 50,000 soldiers, he wanted to fight a decisive battle with the 35,000 cavalry of the Qing Dynasty? Could it be that the Mandate of Heaven Army is also short of food and hopes to end the fighting as soon as possible?

Dolgon's heart was full of expectations, as long as he defeated the Heavenly Mandate Army on the opposite side and then took Ningyuan City, even if he was blocked by Shanhaiguan, he would eventually withdraw his troops back to Shengjing, and it was worth going south this time, Ningyuan City had been attacked for several years, but it had not been able to make progress, it was like a moat, blocking the Qing cavalry from going south......

Hong Chengchou has been shrinking his eyebrows, very worried in his heart, he didn't dare to get too close to Dolgon, but slightly to the left, with the Han military banner.

Duoduo urged his horse to Dorgon's side, his face shining with excitement, and he said loudly: "Regent, the warriors are ready, let your subordinates play the vanguard with white flags!"

"No," Dolgon's gaze suddenly became gloomy, "Today's vanguard is the Han Army Banner. ”

"Why?" Duoduo was puzzled, "The white flag has always been invincible, their Han army has just suffered a defeat, and more than half of the soldiers have been lost, why does the regent trust them?" ”

"It is precisely because they have suffered defeat that this king has made them the vanguard and regain their confidence from the battlefield," Dolgon was at a loss in his heart, unwilling to risk taking the white flag, tunneling: "Fifteenth brother, you step back and wait for the military order at any time!"

"Fourteenth Brother......" Duoduo thought that Dorgon paid more attention to the Han military flag, and even used the brotherly affection.

"The fifteenth brother doesn't need to say much, step back quickly, otherwise the military law will be engaged!"

Only then did Duoduo reluctantly retreat, glancing at the Mandate of Heaven army opposite, and slowly retreating into the cavalry with white flags hanging his head.

Dolgon recruited the Han army flag of the Gushan Ezhen, there is a trace of guilt in his heart, the Han army flag was originally the same as the Manchurian flag, the Mongolian flag, it is also the eight banners, but in yesterday's battle, the soldiers were killed and wounded, and the three flags of the white flag, the inlaid white flag, and the blue flag were killed in battle, and now even the five flags are not enough.

He didn't want Duoduo's white flag to go into battle and take risks, so he could only grieve the Han military flag.

The remnants of the Han army banner were already in full formation, and the soldiers were in a vertical formation, at the forefront of the battlefield.

Liu Zhiyuan, who was inlaid with the yellow flag and the mountain with the red flag, glanced at Li Guohan, who was inlaid with the blue flag and the red flag, and looked at the two solid mountains and the red flag, and the four of them nodded silently.

Hong Chengchou could see clearly from behind the side, so he shouted: "Brothers of the Han Army Banner, what are you waiting for? ”

When Liu Zhiyuan got the information, he immediately pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Brothers of the Han Army Banner, the Tartars are going to use us as cannon fodder again, and we are going back!"

Li Guohan also pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "The Heavenly Mandate Army on the other side are all Han brothers, they are here to meet us, brothers, kill the Tartars and make meritorious contributions!"

The red flag Gushan Ezhen Shi Tingzhu also said: "You have seen the combat effectiveness of the Mandate of Heaven Army, the Mongolian Eight Banners are gone, and the Tartars themselves dare not go into battle, so they forced us to go up and send them to death, brothers, follow me and kill the Tartars for meritorious service!"

"Kill the Tartars for meritorious service!"

Each banner of Gushan Ezhen will have its own cronies, these soldiers knew in advance, at this time they took the lead in pulling out their waist knives, turning the horse's head, echoing the Gushan Ezhen.

"Kill the Tartars for meritorious service!"

Although the Han army banner belonged to the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, they were all the servants of their respective Manchurian banner generals, and in addition to going to war on weekdays, they had to engage in agricultural production for the masters, and there was no time to rest, not to mention, all the grain produced in the field must be handed over to the masters, and the masters would return the minimum amount of food, and they would barely starve.

If there is a white disaster or a black disaster, and the food of the Great Qing Kingdom is insufficient, it is naturally them who are the minions who will starve.

What makes them even more atmospheric is that their families are not guaranteed at all, if anyone is lucky enough to marry a beautiful woman, this is definitely not a good thing, the masters may call at any time, if they are lucky, they will return it when they are tired of playing, and if they are unlucky, they will never see each other again.

Who made them masters? According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, the master has everything from the slave, including the women in the family and the lives of the women......

The soldiers of the Han Army Banner, who are used to being bullied on weekdays, have no possibility of fighting back, and today finally got a chance, and finally many brave soldiers followed suit, they brandished scimitars, turned around and threw themselves at the Tartars behind them.

Fighting a war is like a group fight, as long as there is a leader in front of the charge, there will be someone to follow, after all, the Han army flag is a separate army, relatively close to each other, the solid mountain is really reversed, even the timid soldiers, can only wave the scimitar to pounce on the Tartars, at this moment, the soldiers all understand that even if they did not participate in the rebellion, when the Tartars settle accounts in the future, they will definitely not let go of the Han army flag soldiers on the battlefield today!

Dolgon and Duoduo really didn't expect that the soldiers of the Han Army Banner suddenly rebelled, and they were caught off guard, and they were very embarrassed for a while, and when they organized the soldiers to fight back, the formation had been dispersed by the soldiers of the Han Army Banner.

Soldiers on both sides got into a scuffle.

When it comes to kung fu on horseback, the Tartars have been with the war horses since they were children, and they are ferocious, and their combat effectiveness is naturally far stronger than these cavalry of the Han Army Banner, but the leaders of the Han Army Banner know that the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army in front of them are their own helpers, and their morale has the upper hand.

Dolgon was originally hesitant, worried that the Mandate of Heaven Army would have a backhand, so he let the Han Army Banner act as cannon fodder, but he didn't expect the Han Army Banner to attack against the water, his heart was very shocked, even if he could kill all the soldiers of the Han Army Banner, his own strength was also greatly damaged, at most there were only 20,000 cavalry left with the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner and the White Flag......

The difference in ideology between the leaders of the two sides greatly affected the morale and also affected the direction of the battlefield.

Zhenghuang Qigushan Ezhen Zu Zerun is the most depressed person, because the ancestral family is quite powerful in the Qing Dynasty, and there are civil and military officials, Hong Chengchou did not inform him in advance for the sake of safety, until the soldiers were already on the battlefield against the water, Zu Zerun did not learn of the fact of the backwater.

But the battlefield has been chaotic, the soldiers of the Han army with the yellow flag, whether they are willing or not, can only follow the tide at this time, if you don't follow the water, the Tartars will not let you go in the future.

The moment of life and death is based on the ethnic group, who cares about wrongful killing?

Hong Chengchou had long been thinking about Zu Zerun, and seeing that he was still hesitating, he waved his knife to cut down the tartar in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Zu Zerun, don't forget who your ancestor is!"
