The Ming Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, and the Manchurian people are only three million, the Ming Dynasty can gather a million troops at any time, but the Qing Dynasty does not have the mobilization strength, so in the Ming Dynasty, women are generally fifteen or sixteen years old before they get married, but in the barbarians, women begin to marry at the age of twelve or thirteen, just to reproduce, constantly replenish the population, and make up for the losses caused by the war. You can use them, but you can't indulge them too much, and their combat effectiveness is far less than that of the Eight Banners.

"Report ...... Belle Ye, a group of soldiers and horses appeared in the south of the city, and it was the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty that arrived, and the number was about 5,000! ”

When Luck Dehun was thinking about how to deal with it, he didn't expect to get this good news, big good news, the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty arrived, then he was given a piece of fat, they came to reinforce, in this place, but the most suitable plain land for war horses to gallop, not Sichuan with mountains and rivers, so Luck Dehun is very confident that he can eat this support army in one go, and then he can give the Ming army a great blow.

"Good! If we can defeat and eat this support army, we can deal a major blow to the Ming army, Zu Kefa and Tan Tai, each of you will lead a thousand fine cavalry, and attack it left and right, be sure to hit this support army hard, and I will lead the army to meet you in the front. ”

"Huh!" At the moment, Zu Kefa and Tan Tai are responding in unison, field battles are their strength, fighting head-on with the Ming army on the plain, they don't say that they have a lot of confidence, but they still have eight or nine points, and they also think that this is a piece of fat.

Jinxiang City South Zhaili Ji, Zhuang Zigu led the 5,000 army has arrived in the village, according to Jinxiang City less than 30 miles, at most half a day, you can arrive, how is the battle ahead, Zhuang Zigu also already knows, Jinxiang City has been lost, now he rushed over, I am afraid that Jinxiang City will be difficult to recapture, after all, he only has so many troops, there will be no other reinforcements, the other side is also a large number of troops, the two sides are fighting, their chances of winning are not big.

"Jinxiang City is not far away, and it is not early, so let's not rush tonight, set up camp here, rest for one night, recuperate enough, and go to the rescue tomorrow."

Zhuangzigu pointed to a low slope not far away and said, look at it, this is the most suitable place to camp, although the hillside in front of him is not high and steep, but you can look down on the surroundings, if the enemy is coming, you can also condescendingly deal with it, so Zhuangzigu stopped and did not move forward.

"General, it's only time to apply at this time, Jinxiang City is in danger, at this time, I will lead the army to the rescue, if we delay here, I'm afraid that Jinxiang City will ......" Feng Shuangli, the deputy general on the side, said puzzled.

"Haha...... Do you think that the Tartars will really let them go to Jinxiang City to rescue so happily, Vice General Feng, let me tell you, no matter whether Jinxiang City has captured Jinxiang now, within two hours, the Manchurian Tartars will be killed, they just want to fight with us in the field, our army has been on the road for two days in a row, and today we will take a rest, on the one hand, we are ready to face the battle, on the other hand, we are also to let the soldiers eat and drink enough, ready to kill the enemy, you just order to go down! ”

"How does the general know that the enemy will come?" Feng Shuangli was still a little puzzled.

"Because we only have five thousand people, and field warfare has always been the strength of the Tartars, so they will definitely not let go of this opportunity, if they don't come, they will lead the army themselves!" Zhuang Zigu said with a cold face, and the terrifying momentum made Feng Shuangli no longer say anything, and did as Zhuang Zigu instructed.

The sky is about to darken, Zu Kefa and Tan Tai each led a thousand fine horses, came to the place where Zhuangzigu was stationed, the camp was very simple, the periphery was a chariot arch guard, set up a Franc machine gun, arranged some antlers to cover, Zu Kefa and Tan Tai's military horses were only five or six miles away from Zhuangzigu's military camp.

"General Zu, is it you or me?" Tan Tai pursed the corners of his mouth and looked at Zu Kefa and asked, This is a piece of fat is true, but now it is good to gnaw or not, Tan Taishang still doesn't know, in terms of wisdom, Tan Tai is much higher than Zu Kefa, Zu Kefa was originally a strong general in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen was detained in the Qing army camp as a hostage in the battle of Daling River in four years, and later Zu Dashou returned to the Ming Dynasty, and he has been staying in the Qing court to serve.

"General Tan Tai, I have already lost in Jinxiang City, my subordinates have lost hundreds of people, although Lord Belle does not say it, but he must have been somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, this is a chance for me to atone for my sins, my lord, let the last general be ashamed, the last general is grateful!" Zu Kefa was very active and took the initiative to ask Tan Tai for this opportunity.

"That's good! You led your troops to break through first, and I cooperated with you from the flanks to trap the Ming army here, encircling and annihilating it. Tan Tai was also happy with such an arrangement, so Zu Kefa was interviewed and tested in advance.

At this time, in Zhuang Zigu's handsome tent, he had also received a military report that the Qing army was approaching, and all the officers gathered here, and Zhuang Zigu sat on the right seat.

"According to the scouts, the number of the Tartar vanguard is about 2,000 people, all of them are war horses, playing the banners of Zu Kefa and Tan Tai, these two people are fierce generals, our army only has a few hundred war horses, and the rest are all foot soldiers, but we also have advantages, we have chariots as a barrier, as well as Fran machine guns, two battalions of 2,000 musketeers, most of you are brave men I personally recruited in Guide, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, defeated the Tartars, in the general, you are all warriors of the country, the future is limitless, I hope you all cheer up, fight this battle well, be sure to play the military might of my Daming, let the Tartars take a good look, my Daming is not something they can bully at will. ”

"I'm willing to fight to the death with the general!" All the generals replied.

Zhuang Zigu nodded, picked up the military token in front of him, and also ordered: "Feng Shuangli, you lead a thousand foot soldiers to guard the camp gate, and the general will lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to sit in the center, the enemy comes to attack, you don't have to fight, just block their offensive, and after consuming their sharp energy, it's not too late to go to battle again." ”

The Ming army camp, built with artillery carriages, this method was created by the old minister Sun Chengzong, specifically for the purpose of restraining the Manchurian cavalry, infantry, cavalry, artillery overlapping configuration, coordinated with each other, long and short complement each other, the line can be fought, the stop can be barrier, the Ming army is mainly foot soldiers, there are not many cavalry, it is necessary to rely on these chariots to make up for the shortcomings, in order to restrain the resistance to the Qing cavalry.

Three hundred taels of chariots, originally loaded with *, artillery, muskets, and now also a barrier for the camp, Feng Shuangli with a thousand men and horses, has formed a ring of fortifications, ready to resist the Qing army's attack.
