Yue Le is twenty-seven years old this year, young does not mean incompetent, at the age of fifteen when he led troops into battle for the first time, Yue Le showed excellent battlefield insight. Among the three generations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, except for the dead Haoge, Yue Le is about to be arranged. This is also the reason why Zilharang is relieved to hand over the western front and more than 100,000 troops to Yue Le.

During the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army in the South, the intelligence work of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was done in a timely manner. From Zhu Hongsan's departure from Yangzhou, we know that Zhu Hongsan is not leading a bragging million army, but an army of 300,000 people (in fact, there are no 300,000 people, Zhu Hongsan's main force has a total of 210,000 horses, and the other 80,000 or 90,000 are logistics baggage troops). Later, Zhu Hongsan divided his troops in Suqian, and he took more than 30,000 horses to the north of the canal, which Yue Le knew clearly (in fact, there were not 30,000 people who followed Zhu Hongsan, and there were only 15,000 musketeers in the Praetorian Guard Division, and 5,000 Jinyi Guards, and the rest were recruited slender laborers, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty counted these people as the main force).

150,000 against 30,000, although the Ming army had the advantage of firearms, but the number was too bad, Yue Le was ready to annihilate this Ming army in one go at the beginning.

According to Yue Le's estimate, now the fog is full, the Ming army is not familiar with the terrain, at this time the lake is fighting, the Ming army on the shore must be in chaos, as long as their cavalry appears in front of the Ming army, the Ming army will definitely flee. Because of this, Yue Le decided to send 20,000 cavalry to drive the Ming army out of the camp in one go before the fog dispersed, and then the cavalry followed and killed. The Manchus did this in the Battle of Salhu that year, after defeating the Ming army of the three routes, they followed and pursued, and in the end, less than 10,000 of the 110,000 Ming troops who had experienced a hundred battles in Korea survived.

After Yue Le sent two forwards, there was a dense sound of guns and cannons in front of him after a while, this sound was even denser than the sound of firearms of the Ming army back then, and it seems that what Jierharang said about the good use of firearms by the Nanming army is true. Then came the thunderous fighting, and it seemed that Bagan and Hasson had rushed in.

Yue Le originally thought that the battle would end soon, but half an hour later, the news sent back by the heralds at the front was that most of the 20,000 Mongol cavalry had been wiped out, and less than 6,000 had escaped.

Yue Le was shocked when he heard this, it had only been less than an hour since the war began, and there were more than 10,000 casualties on his side, how could he fight this? The Ming army's firearms are too powerful!

Mu Shan, the general behind Yue Le, heard that the Mongolian cavalry was defeated, and said disdainfully: "These Mongols have forgotten how to fight!" Lord An, let Mu Shan take someone to try the Ming army's catties! ”

Mu Shan was the commander of the 10,000 Manchu Eight Banners brought by Yue Le this time, and he fought with Jiang Yang in Shanxi all the year round, and he looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. And because the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry were all wearing heavy armor, they still had a certain resistance to the kind of guns of the Ming army, so Mu Shan wanted to make this contribution.

Yue Le shook his head and did not allow Mu Shan to fight. Yue Le is not a general who doesn't have a long head, and now the curtain is full, and he can't see anything clearly from more than a hundred meters away, so it's a loss to rush up like this.

"Pass the order, Halbara surround the south of the Ming army, Baolide will go to the east, and the west will be handed over to Aobai, all the generals are not allowed to fight without my general order, and those who violate it will be beheaded!"

Yue Le's calculation was to wait until the fog cleared, after all, this kind of foggy weather is very bad for both sides.

At this time, the sun had risen, and the fog slowly dispersed under the sunlight, Zhu Hongsan saw that the Qing army did not attack, and knew that the opposite side was also afraid that the fog would block the vision, so he was ready to talk about it after the fog cleared. Therefore, Zhu Hongsan seized this opportunity and asked his soldiers to prepare, they must stick to the camp wall, as long as they wait for Li Yuanyin's cavalry to arrive, then there is hope to repel the Qing army.

As the sun rose and the surface temperature rose, the fog around Lake Ansan finally cleared at about nine o'clock, and both armies who saw each other were taken aback.

Zhu Hongsan didn't expect the Qing army to come so much, five miles away from the camp, a cavalry under black pressure, except for Anshan Lake at the back, there were Qing troops in the other three directions, and this kind of number was not at all the 50,000 people mentioned in the intelligence. Zhu Hongsan probably took a look, at least 100,000 people.

Zhu Hongsan also lost the interest in scolding the Jinyi Wei secret agent at this time, because he saw that most of the transport fleet in the lake had been burned, and less than a dozen of them were still floating on the water, and some Ming soldiers who had fallen into the water were swimming vigorously in the direction of the camp.

Seeing that his supplies had become fish food in Ansan Lake, Zhu Hong scolded angrily: "Qian Lide, this bastard, what kind of information did his Jinyi Wei send?" Lee Seung-eun? Zhu Hongsan was just about to ask Li Chengen to investigate Jinyiwei after finishing the incident, but he remembered that Li Chengen was sent by him to protect the emperor and grandson, and he was not around. There is no way Zhu Hongsan can only swallow this breath first, and wait until the battle is over, it is best to go back alive!

Yue Le, who was on the other side, was also taken aback when he saw the situation of the Ming army, but he didn't expect the camp wall of the Ming army to be so tall. Yue Le found that the camp of the Ming army on the opposite side was different from the previous Ming army, the previous Ming army was camped with wood, but this Ming army used soil. Of course, there are many advantages to this, at least much stronger than wood, and much taller. The wooden camp was only more than one person high, and some horses could jump over it. But the camp of the Ming army on the opposite side is one zhang and five feet high, and the width is also three zhang, and the most critical camp has a shooting hole every other section, and it seems that there are artillery inside.

Yue Le roughly estimated that such a Ming army had hundreds of artillery pieces, and this still made people live? Seeing this Yue Le, he also understood why the 20,000 Mongolian cavalry were defeated just now, this kind of camp plus a sufficient number of artillery pieces would definitely not be able to attack.

Yue Le saw that the Ming army was sharp, and secretly scolded himself for being too confident. I knew that the firearms of the Ming army were so powerful, so I didn't slaughter all the residents of Ansan Town, and they were the best candidates to be cannon fodder. If it can be like now, it must be filled with its own people.

At this time, Yue Le noticed that right next to the Ming army camp, a group of soldiers swimming ashore from Ansan Lake were walking into the Ming army camp through the swamp by the lake. Yue Le saw that the water near the lake was not very deep, and the water depth from the shore was only waist-deep, which was very difficult for people to walk, but it had no effect on the horses.

Yue Le's heart moved, and he called a herald and said: "You go and give the order, look at the banner of the big camp for a while, and let Harbara, Baolide, and Aobai each send 5,000 cavalry to attack!" After Yue Le finished speaking, he said to Mu Shan beside him: "After they launch an attack, you take five thousand Manchurian Eight Banners and bypass the shallow place by the lake to attack the place where the Ming army has no camp wall, do you know?" ”

Mu Shan smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Lord An, Mu Shan must catch that Nanban Emperor!" ”

Zhu Hongsan, the Southern Barbarian Emperor, was standing high in the camp at this time, watching the Qing army move around with a telescope. Five miles to the north, where the cavalry is at its highest, under a white da, a general in yellow armor is making a comparison, and he should be dividing the troops. Zhu Hongsan saw that the general knew that there was no surprise, this person was Yue Le, the only handsome talent in the third generation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Behind this general stood cavalry wearing Manchu standard cotton armor, Zhu Hongsan saw that these people were obviously better equipped than the Mongolian cavalry in several other directions, and knew that this was the Manchurian Eight Banners that were less than 10,000 and invincible.

Seeing the Manchu heralds coming out, Zhu Hongsan sneered and put down his binoculars, under the defensive circle arranged by himself, it was impossible for the Mongolian cavalry with only cold weapons to attack at all. The location of Zhu Hong's three selections is very tricky, and the camping site is less than a mile away from Ansan. In addition, Zhu Hongsan also left a regiment of defenders on Anshan, which was 1560 meters high. The view was wide on Anshan, and the artillery could attack the Qing army to the west and south, and if the Qing army wanted to attack Zhu Hongsan's battalion, the two Qing troops had to expose their flanks to the Ming artillery. In this way, Zhu Hongsan only needs to be careful of the main force of the Qing army in the east.

His camp is as stable as a rock, and Zhu Hongsan now hopes that Li Yuanyin will come slower, so that he can rely on the camp wall to cause a lot of casualties to the Manchus.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan saw that the Manchu army on three sides began to move, and Zhu Hongsan said to Han Sanqiang: "Sanqiang, do a good job in logistics support, and don't let the artillery stop!" "Artillery is the main force in this defensive battle, and Zhu Hongsan brought double the ammunition supply for this battle.

The battle began as Zhu Hongsan expected, at this time the fog had dissipated, and the Qing army no longer rushed hard, but began to fire bows and arrows three hundred meters away. However, three hundred meters away was the effective range of the shotguns, and the cavalry had just released the first wave of arrows before the shotguns fell to the ground. Zhu Hongsan had already calculated this tactic of the Qing army, and there was a shed made of reed mats on the camp wall, and the Qing army's arrows rained down on the shed, and only a few unlucky ghosts were only hit by the arrows shot from the gap.

Mangu's tactics are not good, and according to the urine nature of the Mongols, they should begin to retreat. However, this time the Mongolian cavalry did not retreat, but under the command of Qianhu and Baihu behind them, they used small cowhide shields to protect their heads, wanting to get close to the Ming army camp. Of course, this kind of cowhide shield was okay to block the previous firearms, but in the face of the Ming army's muskets that used the best ratio of gunpowder, this cowhide shield was not much different from pieces of paper, and a large number of Mongolian cavalry were killed in front of the camp wall.

Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed when he saw the success of his tactics, but then Zhu Hongsan saw the Qing army in the distance, and the Manchu Eight Banners, which were very well equipped and coaxing, began to act, and under the leadership of a general, half of the troops ran towards the Ming army camp.

Zhu Hongsan sneered in his heart when he saw this, with his own arrangement, you Manchu Eight Banners are also destined to die. Seeing that there were five or six thousand people in this Eight Banner cavalry, it was enough to destroy them all to make the little emperor of Shunzhi feel distressed.
