Listening to the sound of artillery coming from the Ming army's camp, Murcha sighed, of course, the Ming army's firepower was very strong. Even if he was able to fill the trench in front of the barracks, there were enough ladders to climb up the barracks, and there were crash cars that could break through the barracks, under the attack of the Ming army's firearms, he still did not know how much sacrifice he would have to pay.

Seven hundred cavalry harassed, the Ming army still had no intention of going out of the camp to meet the battle, Murcha knew that the Ming army had decided to defend to the death, and he also knew that there was only one road in front of him, that is, to cross the trench, bypass the Ming army camp, and reach the city of Ningyuan.

Although the Ming army camp occupies the official road connecting the city gate, but the march from the field can also reach the city of Ningyuan, of course, the field is rugged, there are many farmlands, many farmlands have just been plowed, and it is not easy to walk, which is not conducive to the galloping of cavalry. But it doesn't matter, I didn't plan to fight hard with the Ming army, and Murcha didn't believe that the Ming army dared to attack when he was marching, don't think that the cavalry can only fight on horseback, they are just as brave and invincible when they get off their horses, and their ability to fight on foot is stronger than on horse.

If the Ming army really dared to attack when they bypassed the camp, it would be with Murcha's intentions, and he would lead his men to launch a counterattack and take the opportunity to directly defeat the Ming army!

Murcha marched more than two miles north with his army, stopping more than three miles from the Ming army camp and preparing to cross the ditch from here.

The ditch was more than two feet wide and five feet deep, and the horses should be able to cross the ditch if they galloped. But the despicable Ming people piled up all the excavated earth on the inside of the ditch, forming a wide low wall. Even if the horse jumps over, it will crash into the wall and end up falling in the ditch. And it would be difficult for such a deep ditch war horse to climb out again.

However, although it is not easy for a war horse to climb out of the ditch, a man can, and the ditch that is more than five feet deep has just reached the chest, and as long as there is a little cushion, he can easily cross to the other side, and it does not take too much effort.

Pass some people first, fill the ditch with the soil piled up on the other side, and even the war horses can easily pass through. After careful observation, Murcha quickly decided on a way to cross the ditch.

How stupid is the Ming army, do they think that digging such a ditch can trap the warriors of the Eight Banners? Murcha sneered in his heart.

In order to prevent the Ming army from sneaking up on the Qing army when they crossed the ditch, Murcha ordered 700 cavalry to be on standby at any time to deal a devastating blow to the Ming army that dared to leave the camp. Then he ordered the whole army to prepare to cross the ditch.

Sure enough, just when the Qing army was about to prepare to cross the canal, there was a movement in the Ming army camp, the hanging suspension bridge was placed on the ditch, and a large number of Ming troops poured out of the camp and were lining up towards the Qing army.

At the same time, the barracks door facing the inside of the ditch was also opened, and a large number of Ming troops lined up on the inside of the ditch, rushing towards the place where the Qing army was preparing to cross the ditch.

Fighting from both sides, do you want to block our army from passing? Murcha sneered.

With an order, seven hundred cavalry pressed in the direction of the Ming army camp. Since the Ming army dares to go out of the camp, then give them a hard blow! Don't rush to cross the canal first, and annihilate this Ming army that dares to go out of the camp first!

A battalion of 2,500 Ming troops quickly crossed the suspension bridge and began to line up in the direction of the Qing army.

Hou Yi shouted loudly, and the officers at all levels under him also nervously commanded the troops to take action. The Qing army was only three miles away from the camp, and it didn't take long for the cavalry to arrive.

Sure enough, before the Ming army was halfway out of the camp, the cavalry of the Qing army was already roaring and galloping towards this side.

"Array, array!" Hou Yi ordered loudly, the soldiers who went out of the city first quickly gathered, and a large shield was erected in the front, and the sharp points under the big shield were inserted into the soil, and the short wood behind the shield supported the shield surface, and then the shield soldier squatted on the ground and pressed against the shield with his shoulders stubborn

The pikemen quickly moved forward, placing the spear, which was more than two feet thick as a duck's egg, on the shield, the tip of the spear pointed directly in the direction of the cavalry's charge, and the pikeman was half-crouching, holding the barrel of the spear in his arms.

The spearmen behind quickly stepped forward, and their spears were pointed into the air, forming an impassable forest of guns.

There were only more than 1,000 Ming troops out of the camp, but they were ready to defend from the moment they left the camp. This made the Qing army's plan to attack while the Ming army's foothold was not stable.

Looking at the sharp spears, no war horse dared to hit it. As a result, the Qing cavalry had to choose to bypass the phalanx facing them, thinking about going around to the flank of the phalanx and attacking from the flank. However, the Ming army still came out of the camp in a steady stream, and the soldiers who came out from behind quickly made up for the thinness on the side.

In the face of the galloping Qing cavalry, the Ming army on the barracks continued to fire, and from time to time shells fell in the ranks of the Qing cavalry, forcing the Qing cavalry to move slightly away from the barracks.

Looking at the array of Ming troops lined up by the barracks, Murcha was a little surprised, he didn't expect the Ming army to line up so quickly.

Whether to storm this Ming army, Murcha hesitated. Soon, he decided to ignore them for the time being, because this Ming army was backed by the camp and could get the support of the Ming army on the camp, and if he wanted to completely annihilate them, he had to think of luring them away from the camp, as long as they could not get the support of the Ming army in the camp, it would not take much effort to annihilate them.

Murcha then gave the order, withdrew the cavalry, and the whole army assumed the posture of continuing to cross the ditch.

One hundred and ten Han soldiers jumped into the ditch and climbed up to the opposite side.

Murcha ignored his men who jumped into the ditch, and his eyes looked at the Ming army in the distance, only to find that in the face of the retreating Qing cavalry, the Ming army did not move.

However, at this moment, the screams rang out one after another, and when Murchahuo Ran looked, he saw the screams of the Han army's bannermen who had just climbed to the low wall opposite the ditch, and they fell down from the low wall into the ditch.

A Ming army appeared on the other side of the ditch at some point, and a rain of arrows, with spears, forced all his men into the ditch.

"Bow and arrow!" Murcha shouted, and the Qing archers drew their bows one after another, and the arrows shot in the opposite direction. I saw those Ming soldiers spread their shields and leaned close to the inside of the low wall, and there was no way for the arrows to take them.

Not far away, a large number of Ming troops with shields came from the inside of the ditch.

A small ditch wants to stop the Eight Banners Warriors? Murcha was furious and ordered 700 cavalry to closely monitor the Ming army outside the ditch, and then ordered 3,000 Han soldiers to prepare to launch a strong attack on the ditch.

The ditch is not deep in the first place, and as long as you dig a little earth mat, you can easily go up to the opposite side.

Damn Mingren, as long as I let me pass, I'm going to give you some color to see, Murcha thought viciously.

Hundreds of Qing soldiers took shovels and other tools from their baggage trucks and began to dig earth to fill the ditch, while other Qing soldiers drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows rained down on the Ming troops on the opposite side of the ditch.
