In the distance, the dust and smoke were billowing and the iron hooves were ringing, Sun Tingyao's face turned pale, the Mongols invited their accomplices to take revenge, and they knew that there were no less than 3,000 people when they heard the voice, and this caused a big disaster. Thirty-six plans to go, Lao Sun turned his head and fled to Yanghe City, the local people who were still elated just now immediately scattered, the rich and powerful followed Sun Tingyao to run Yanghe, and the others also hid back in the village to resign themselves to fate.

Fang Zhikun and Buck glanced at each other, and ordered to blow the trumpet to meet the battle, and more than 700 iron horsemen shouted and pounced on each other - the personnel of the merchant army were mainly grassland horse thieves, and there were a small number of veterans in the township, and the bosses were willing to spend money and equip them with Fengzhou cavalry standard equipment, and their combat power was really not bad, and they still had the confidence to deal with a gang of rabble, and they could run if they couldn't fight, that was their housekeeping ability.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Mongolian cavalry tasted the bitterness, although there were not many people on the other side, but the riding was accurate, ruthless, and there were scary firearms in their hands, especially the fight was particularly slippery, floating left and right, three or four thousand people not only gnawed them, but also were bitten if they were not careful. The merchant army fought smoothly, the surrounding villages were also lively, the common people beat gongs and drums, shouted and cheered, guns and crossbows did not stop shooting indiscriminately, the Mongolian cavalry was a little unbearable, and sounded the rescue trumpet.

Wu Bai and Turush, who were patrolling nearby, immediately came to support, and the five thousand and eight banner elite cavalry came over, Fang Zhikun and Buck no longer dared to do anything, and shouted "The wind is tight" and ran away, one of the two sides fled in front, and the other chased behind, unconsciously approaching Yanghe and the side wall, and at this moment, Zhao Ji's three battalions of iron cavalry also arrived.

"Okay, you really dare to run to the side wall, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind." Zhao Ji sneered and pulled out his battle knife.

"Fly on the grass, I recognize the flag, it's this gang of thieves who robbed us of our money and beat them!" The snow wolf screamed in a fuss, and the sorghum pole also took out a bow and arrow - the dream of the two guys to get rich was shattered, and they were fooled by Zhao Ji to become a battalion soldier, and they had the dream of Fengzhou to be promoted to become rich.

"Is it casual to shout on the grass, you two are now my own soldiers, and you want to call your lord, understand?" Zhao Ji said disdainfully.

"Why, the two of us are good at riding and shooting, and we can also speak Mongolian and Zhushen, we should also be officials." Snow Wolf said angrily.

"Flying on the grass, you lied to us, you said that you would be the sentry commander, how did you become your personal soldier in a blink of an eye." Sorghum stalks are also aggrieved.

"Whew! Are you literate? Let the two of you be pro-soldiers is to look up to you, and the matter of the sentry commander will be talked about later, this battle will be fought well, and I will give you one of you a boss when I turn back. Zhao Ji sent the two of them away, waved his hand and ordered the attack.

As soon as Zhao Ji made a move, Fang Zhikun and Buck immediately turned their horses' heads to join them, the two teams were almost the same, all with grassland horse thieves as the backbone, and the three battalion officers on Zhao Ji's side, Sun Fuhu, Qiu Xian, and Borshu were still big horse thieves, and they got together to cooperate tacitly, sometimes scattered and sometimes combined, and the attacks were fierce and fierce, and the attacks were fierce and sharp, Wu Bai and Turushh had the advantage in strength, but they couldn't do it, and there was no way to take the other party for the time being, and the Mongolian cavalry saw that the master was coming, but inexplicably slipped to the side to watch the excitement, Occasionally shooting a few arrows is also a bluff, and the two sides are in a stalemate for a while. This situation did not last long, the main forces of the Fengzhou army and the Jin army arrived one after another, and the two sides each collected their troops and returned to their own positions.

The Fengzhou army and the Jin army were facing each other five miles apart, Li Yu looked at the opposite side with clairvoyance, and silently calculated the comparison of the strength of the two armies in his heart - the Jin army rushing to the direction of Lingqiu plus the Abatai division should have 15,000 people, and the enemy in front of him was about 65,000 people, which was consistent with what Titang reported and observed by the scouts, among which there were 15,000 Mongols from the outer domains and 5,000 miscellaneous Han troops of various types, and the combat strength of these 20,000 people was insignificant, but the remaining 45,000 Eight Banner soldiers were difficult to fight. On his side, there are three cavalry battalions of the First Route Army, seven cavalry battalions of the Second Route Army, three cavalry battalions, one artillery battalion, and eight infantry battalions of the Third Route Army, totaling 23,000 people, and the strength is seriously insufficient!

"It's almost noon, let's have something to eat." Zhao Ji kept stuffing corn tortillas into his mouth, handed one to Li Yu casually, and said while eating, "Our advantage is only cavalry, and the Mongolian miscellaneous soldiers are negligible, they can make up fifteen thousand cavalry at most, and they are definitely not our opponents." ”

"Where is the Ming army? Then signal them to come closer. Li Yu turned his head and asked Bai Xianzhi.

"It's useless, Cao Wenzhao received the signal and retreated ten miles instead, and is currently watching thirty miles southwest of our army, and the 60,000 people of You Shiwei and Wu Xiang who are harmonious and self-reliant are also stopping their advance twenty miles east of Yanghe, a group of waste, don't count on them anymore." Bai Xianzhi shook his head, then pointed to the map and said, "Liu Xingzuo's deputy commander commands Fei Yangwu's Xinghe Guard Cavalry Battalion, Yuan Lie's Xinghe Guard Infantry Battalion, Xinghe Guard Wang Yongqiang, and Xuande Wei Deputy Garrison Xu Jinxian are marching in a hurry, and they can arrive immediately, with a strength of about 7,000 people, but the main force of the old commander's garrison of 20,000 people will not arrive before dusk at the earliest. ”

"Waste, coward, this official wants to impeach them to the imperial court, and he will not let any of them go," Liu Zhilun shouted and was helped by Ma Shiying, he sent people to contact the Ming army from all walks of life, but without exception, he ate the closed door, and when he saw Li Yu, he said loudly, "Hanmin, those bastards want to watch us bleed, no matter what they do, you can fight as much as you want, and listen to you for the teacher." ”

Li Yu sat on the ground with a wry smile, and swallowed the corn tortillas vigorously with the water - Fang Zhikun and Buck had already reported what had happened, everything was just an accident, but it was impossible to avoid it - since the Battle of Kuku Hetun, the people of Fengzhou have established the self-confidence that they are strong, and this self-confidence is becoming the source of strength for the people of Fengzhou to unite together to overcome all difficulties and obstacles. What will the people of Toyosu think? Li Yu is sure that Sibeile is also facing a difficult choice, this battle is too risky, neither of them wants to fight, if one side can take a step back first, the other side will definitely be willing to retreat very gracefully, but who dares to take the first step? Li Yu didn't dare, and Sibeiler didn't dare.

There was a sound of horns in front, and the Jin army launched first, and tens of thousands of people advanced at the same time, but the speed of the advance was very slow, and Li Yu felt that it was Sibeile pleading-Erlu, you take a step back first!

"Marshal, let's fight, we can't afford to retreat, fight a vigorous battle, even if we lose the soul of the Fengzhou army, Fengzhou will never collapse." Bai Xianzhi said in a low voice.

Zhao Ji patted Li Yu's arm: "Yuzi, don't think about it so much, Fengzhou has experienced many hardships from scratch, but we have never taken a step back, and we will never retreat today." ”

Liu Zhilun, Ma Shiying, and Terrig cast expectant glances at Li Yu together, and at this time, the military song of the Fengzhou Army sounded in the military formation - "The red flag is raised under the barbarian mountain, and our soldiers are mighty and strong; The general is gracious to the people, and his comrades are in good spirits; The desert smoke rises from the side wall, and the Jin Ge Iron Horse is in a hurry; More than 20,000 soldiers sang in unison, and the song shook the sky and soared into the sky.

"Marshal, Deputy Commander Liu Xingzuo has arrived, and he is advancing towards the right flank of the Jin Army." Scout Pegasus Newspaper.

Li Yu raised his clairvoyance and looked at it, countless black eagle flags fluttered in the wind on the left flank of the Fengzhou army, and the soldiers were slowly advancing towards the Jin army in a phalanx, and they could not hesitate any longer, Li Yu decisively ordered: "The whole army is advancing against the enemy, this battle is an attack against an attack, and we must play the military might of our army, so that any enemy will be terrified when he thinks of this battle, and he will no longer dare to covet Fengzhou." ”

As soon as the attack order was given, the whole army roared with joy, Li Yu came to the front of the battle, waved his hand to the north and asked loudly: "Brothers, tell me where is the side wall?" ”

"Our Toyoshu!" The soldiers replied in unison.

"Who are we?"

"Fengzhou soldiers!"

"Brothers, use your war knives to tell Jin Kou that we are the invincible Fengzhou army in the world, follow me and attack!" Li Yu yelled and untied his cloak and threw it on the ground, jumped out with a lance, and Chen Erzhu immediately blew the military horn, and the attack of the Fengzhou army began.

Li Yu and Zhao Ji led 10,000 cavalry to press over, and the speed of the horses was still accelerating, getting closer and closer to the Jin army. Tiancong Khan shook his head helplessly, this kid can't afford to retreat, then let's fight again, he ordered the advancing Jin army infantry formation to prepare for the arrow array to block the attack, the elite Eight Banners Iron Cavalry moved to the right flank, Tiancong Khan guessed what Li Yu wanted to do, but those guys are too useless, their lamas are still talking bad about me behind my back, and they are more in the way on the battlefield, get back to guard against the Ming army.

The Fengzhou Iron Cavalry approached the central infantry of the Jin army along a diagonal line, and before the first wave of arrows arrived, it suddenly made a beautiful turn to avoid the blow, and accelerated towards the right flank of the Jin army—there was a large array of the Mongols from the outer domain, and the fifteen thousand cavalry were crowded together in a chaotic manner, and in the face of the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry rushing like a huge wave, they turned around and ran backwards after shooting a few arrows, and it was useless to let the princes and nobles beat and scold and stop them.

The Mongolian people of the foreign domain had their own ideas, and when they left, the lamas repeatedly warned them that Humba Tulu of Fengzhou had noble blood, and carried the will of the Buddha, and if he fought against him, he would go to hell if he died, and even if he could be reincarnated, he would be a cow and a horse. What's more, the Eight Banners of the Jin State are not a good thing, the young and strong, cattle and sheep in the tribe are requisitioned at will, and their war horses are robbed, so that half of everyone has no horses to ride, and the looted property is only distributed to the nobles, not to the common people, why do you shed blood for the Jin Kingdom? Let Humbaturu beat them, the harder they beat, the more relieved they are, and the common people just need to see the excitement.

It was expected that the Mongol divisions of the outer domain withdrew from the battlefield, and the 12,000 elite Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of Sakhalian and Shuotuo, together with Wu Bai and Turush, quickly made up for the gap on the right flank and fought fiercely with the Fengzhou cavalry - although the combat strength of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was not as good as that of the opponent, but the inside of the pass was not as good as the outside of the pass, and the roundabout area was narrow, and the advantage of the fast and flexible Fengzhou light cavalry was limited, and it was difficult for the two sides to distinguish the winner in a short time. Tiancong Khan set his sights on the left flank of the Fengzhou army, where the number of battalions was not large, it should be the weakness of the other party, and the right flank of Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo had 20,000 people, and they would definitely be able to defeat the opponent's left flank, and the Fengzhou army would be defeated at that time. But the Fengzhou army was aggressive in the middle, and more than 10,000 people dared to take the initiative to attack the more than 20,000 gold troops, and even the artillery was dragged up to fight, and they wanted to break through in the middle? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

Tiancong Khan ordered the cavalry on the left flank to hold the iron cavalry of Fengzhou, and resolutely bite the elite infantry of the Fengzhou army with an attack on the middle road, and the right flank of the three Azig brothers must crush the enemy in front of them as soon as possible and outflank the flank of the Fengzhou army.

"Quick, don't wait for a salvo, push the gun cart and fight as you go, and beat these guys with shotguns." Ding Qiming shouted loudly with a horse gun - the two armies had begun to fight in the middle, and the artillery battalion was ahead of the infantry army, and they had to use firearms to destroy the Jin army's heavily armored front.

The sound of artillery rang out one after another, mixed with continuous volleys of rifle guns, and the smoke of gunpowder blew through the Jin army, and the target was almost invisible, but it didn't matter, the opposite side must be a dense Jin army, and the guns just hit hard, and when you heard the sound, you could feel that the enemy was falling one by one. The artillery of the Liaodong Han army on the opposite side is getting weaker and weaker, almost weak, and occasionally a few explosions can be heard, and the defeat of the men is unspeakably brave, their ability is still far behind, and the artillery movement attack may not have been seen yet! With a huge crackling sound of cannon breeches in the Han army of Liaodong, the sound of the Jin army's horn sounded, and the sound of neat and dense footsteps came from the smoke of gunpowder.

"Jin Kou has launched a hand-to-hand attack, all of them are on the sword!" Jin Guoding's face changed, he pulled out his sword casually, and after the infantry shot the gun in the gun tube, he hurriedly began to load the sword, but before they were busy, he continuously threw a rain of arrows to the opposite side behind him to cover, and the front battalion of the infantry army and the right battalion of the infantry army unceremoniously squeezed away the gun battalion, stretched out a spear like a forest, and advanced forward in a dense formation.

"It's too unfair, it's obviously our chance to make meritorious contributions, and you are coming to grab it again." Jin Guoding exclaimed angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense, seize the hill on the left, push the artillery up, and shoot at the place where there are many Jinkou." Ding Qiming ran up and patted Jin Guoding's head. Jin Guoding waved his hand and shouted, and rushed to the top of the mountain with the foot gunner, and Wu Laoba, who was at the artillery post, was also busy driving, commanding the gunners and auxiliaries to re-tie the cattle to the artillery cart, and dragged the cannon to follow closely behind.

The front battalion and the right battalion of the infantry army are the old foundation of the Fengzhou army, and the style of play has its own characteristics - Zhang Chuanjie's command is steady, the front battalion of the infantry army is tight and impeccable, and the dense spears are stabbed, constantly stabbing down the golden soldiers who pounce up, and then stepping on the feet, steadily advancing like a stone mill; Manzhu is a little unreasonable, the right battalion of the infantry army is unstoppable, the deputy battalion officer Tie Biao often leads the soldiers to rush out of the formation to sneak attack, and the sentry officers and captains below also follow the same example, seize the opportunity to attack coldly, and the Jin army is beaten in a hurry. Zhou Yuji's former battalion deputy army and Hou Shijie's right battalion deputy army are derived troops, and the veterans are not weak in combat power, sticking to the front battalion and the right battalion to protect the flanks and rear, throwing a rain of arrows to the Jin army, and from time to time using lifting guns and foot guns to shoot volleys at the Jin army crowd. Behind the four assault battalions, Sun Shoufa's left battalion, Haishan's left battalion deputy army, Du Hongfang's infantry rear battalion, and Qin Hu's rear battalion deputy army couldn't find anything to do for a while, and they were arrogant and whistled to advance - the more victories and battles, the more domineering they fought, and the Zhushen soldiers who surrendered to Shun all day long, such as Haishan's gang, the Fengzhou army was not afraid of the Jin army psychologically, and even looked down on each other, what is the big deal with the number of people, Lao Tzu still beats you.

However, today, these Eight Banner soldiers are really tough enough, using the chariot as a cover to attack repeatedly, knocking down a group and coming again, biting to death and refusing to retreat, and even don't want the chariot when they are red-eyed - the Fengzhou army has too many guns, and one is broken when it goes up, so don't want this burden, and fight hard with the knife. The casualties of the Fengzhou army rose sharply, but the results were not large, and it took an hour to advance three or four hundred steps, Sun Shoufa and Du Hongfang sent signals several times, strongly requesting a replacement, Zhang Chuanjie was still calm, but Manzhu was provoked, and he lifted a simple knife to fight in person. The Fengzhou army and the Jin army in the middle were like two red-eyed oxen together, no one took half a step back, and no one dared to relax, and the two sides fought a stalemate.

The middle of the Fengzhou army was blocked, and Li Yu's right flank was not smooth, and the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry was ** Zhan and had excellent weapons, although the number was slightly less than that of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, but it soon gained the upper hand and almost surrounded the other party. Li Yu concentrated seven or eight hundred horses from the Flying Tiger Battalion and other battalions to bombard the Jin Army's cavalry formation, knocking down the rows of heavily armored cavalry, hoping to make a gap and kill it, cut out a piece and eat it, but the Jin Army was in a tight formation, and the gap that appeared could be filled immediately, but instead used the advantage of the heavy armored cavalry to launch a counterattack with a rain of arrows, forcing the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry to move and avoid.

Zhao Ji was ruthless and personally led Sun Fuhu, Qiu Xian, and Borshu to launch a strong attack, but soon ran into a bloody retreat. Fang Zhikun played smart, led the merchant army and the Chahar cavalry to run under the nose of the Jin army to lure the enemy to attack, people did not eat this set at all, repelled this weak brigade with random arrows, and continued to hold on to their own position - the attitude of the Jin army is obvious, my cavalry is not as good as you, and I am determined to drag you to death here. The Fengzhou cavalry took the initiative, surrounding this behemoth but had no way to speak, Li Yu and Zhao Ji were helpless, there was no advantage in troops, and it was too difficult to defeat the opponent.

The right wing of the Jin army, which Tiancong Khan had high hopes for, was also blocked, and the Azig brothers attacked the 7,000 people on the left flank of the Fengzhou army with an absolute superiority of troops, but they were not alarmed, and the most Zhushen soldiers of Xinghewei were the most, these people had an inextricable hatred with the Jin State, and all of them thought that they were loyal guards to maintain the glory and tradition of their ancestors, and they scolded the "Zhushen who took the evil road" and rushed up desperately. The bravest Azig personally led the team to rush back, the result was even worse, Fei Yangwu found his banner and immediately turned red, chanting "Avenge Uncle Mandahai", leading the Xinghe Guard Cavalry Battalion to find him directly, Azig was terrified when he saw this group of madmen, and the experience of escaping death last time left a shadow in his heart, and he no longer dared to take risks, and fled back in embarrassment.
