The commander-in-chief, Mu Halian, said to Yue Tuo: "The array of the Ming army is unusually neat, the advance and retreat are orderly, and there is no chaos at all, and our army should not move lightly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Mukhalian was known for his steady warfare, and had previously garrisoned military forts along the Three Forks River and captured many Ming and Mongols, which was appreciated by Nurhachi.

Adjutant General Ye Chen said: "The slave agrees with Muharlian's words, it is not wise to rush the attack and break the enemy on horseback. If the infantry formation, the enemy cavalry is complete, it is easy to be outflanked by its left and right wings, and it will also be carried back to the rear to attack the horseless followers and the Han army. ”

Judging from the movements of the two sides advancing and retreating just now, Yue Tuo felt that this Ming army was by no means easy to match, and it could be called a strong enemy, so he said to everyone: "Our army dismounts and ranks in a foot formation, and if the enemy comes to attack, we will fight with it on foot." ”

"Good." Shuoto agreed.

Sakhalian did not object, his battlefield experience is also very rich, and he has made great contributions in the history of Houjin's conquest, but in the battle of the Thirteen Mountains, he touched the dust of his nose, which caused some doubts about his command ability, and he mainly listened to major decisions.

A large number of armored soldiers began to dismount, the bannermen and the Han army in the array of rapid forward, each leading seven or eight horses to stand in the array as horse stakes, they want to prevent the war horses from being frightened and running around, if a foot battle and repelled the attack of the Ming army, they should send the horses to the hands of the armored soldiers at the first time.

The armored soldiers were tired, they sat on the ground drinking water, and communicated in Jurchen or Mongolian, and everyone felt that the Ming army on the opposite side was a fierce enemy.

Many of the armored soldiers had a bloodthirsty glint in their eyes, like wolves.

They are not afraid of strong enemies, on the contrary, they feel a little excited, normal emotions should not be like this, and those who are good at fighting are not bloodthirsty madmen. But the armor of the Ming army on the opposite side was too bright, and everyone longed to have such a strong and beautiful armor.

The white armor was ordered to run together, this time there were two red flags and more than three hundred and fifty white armor, this is a great force, almost every white armor is the best of the banners, they are extremely strong, due to the usual treatment and good food, almost everyone is bulging full of muscles, they wear bright silver iron armor, each person's armor is polished, their robes are supported by muscles, it looks like walking humanoid monsters.

The white armor is a fierce light, they are not as optimistic as the ordinary armor soldiers, because they have fought more battles, and their knowledge and experience are far from being comparable to ordinary armor soldiers, they feel that there will be a vicious battle, the general white armor will only be used intensively when the war is likely to be unfavorable or facing a bitter battle, and it will be used as a killer weapon at a critical moment. They're going to be together as they are now.

There are two white armor in the white armor, they are all under the banner in the middle, all the white armor is very conscious, they not only sit on the ground to recover their physical fitness, but also keep drinking water and taking out the food they carry to eat, the average soldier can't eat at this time, the white armor keeps calm, their eyes are fierce and indifferent, they all know that it is useless or even harmful when they are excited on the battlefield, ordinary soldiers can be excited, but the elite of these elites must stay calm, and they can do this completely, Each of them is experienced in a hundred battles, and they may have thousands of wounds and scars on their bodies, and their long battlefield experience has made them extremely tenacious, and they also know when to do the most suitable thing.

The whole Jurchen formation was soon opened, the soldiers of the two red flags were originally used to cooperating in this flag, the left wing shoulder, the left wing shoulder, the right wing shoulder, the right wing end, plus the armor bottom, rows of armored soldiers placed a horizontal formation to cover the Chinese army behind them, the two wings were slightly forward, the Chinese army was slightly back, an array of hundreds of people was connected to each other, the flags echoed each other, and the soldiers were under the banner by their respective Bashiku and Niu Lu Ezhen to stand by, from the left and right wings to the middle is where the command cardinal of the Chinese army is, The archers of the Han army and the banner were just behind the infantry formation, and they had all set out their infantry bows, ready to meet the enemy with the armor soldiers for a while. In the rear formation, there are a large number of banners and the Han army wrapped together, each Niu Lu Ezhen is really carried by Jia Lae Zhen and those who hang guerrillas, generals, deputy generals Jurchen and Han army officers, if you look around in the Chinese army, you can see that a number of armor soldiers are in front and behind, left and right, there are arrays in all directions.

A bright helmet wearing dark iron armor, a tasseled helmet on his head, and a small flag on his back Bashiku with two companions with the same armor, more than ten armored soldiers wearing bubble nail cotton armor rode out of the formation together, and a number of small groups of cavalry also rushed out of the formation, a total of fifty or sixty rangers cruised in front of the formation, moving in the direction where the Ming army was.

……

"Dongyu is waiting for us to attack." Wang Jingzhong said to Duo'er: "Today's matter, there is no need for a battle, please command your Excellency to know it." ”

The commander of another brigade also said: "This battle can be fought or not, if we take into account that we are still doing business with the Donglu, if the news leaks after today's battle, it will offend the Donglu again, and if the trade is cut off, the military division will be even more passive." ”

Duo'er glanced at the commander of the brigade and scolded: "You don't meddle in your dog's business, there is a tall man on top of the sky when the sky falls, the first thing we consider in the army is to fight, we don't have to worry about other things." ”

Niu Qinzhong said: "You still have to be careful, in case you are in a hurry, and you will continue to find us trouble, and the military secretary will not spare us." ”

"Lao Tzu is the commander of the regiment." Duo'er was completely annoyed, and scolded angrily: "You dogs, adults smashed so much silver to the army, didn't you make you so cowardly, your words told the soldiers to listen, don't want to have the face to do the army again in this life, take off this tiger skin as soon as possible, there are land and tunbao on the grassland, it's good for you to be a tun commander and lead people to farm!" ”

All the officers were scolded by Duo'er for a head of, everyone was angry, the first cavalry regiment was originally regarded as the first elite of the cavalry, and it was originally the earliest cavalry team formed, there were many veterans and experienced officers in the army, and the second regiment had been pressed, and the third regiment in the formation was even more incomparable, but later the appearance of the lancer regiment overshadowed the cavalry regiment, the first grassland war, when Zhang Han was trapped in Jining Fort, Zhou Yao took the lancers to burn and loot everywhere, and he was not afraid of hard work and hardship, and was not afraid of being encircled, I don't know how many pastures were destroyed and how many herdsmen were killed, Tumut's initial response was unprepared and the cavalry was scattered, which led to futility, and the Lancer Regiment made the greatest credit.

If it weren't for Ma Wu and other cavalry to rush into the superior Mongolian cavalry formation, kill the enemy, and capture Ombuhong, the cavalry really had no commendable traces in the first big battle.

Take the second battle as an example, it is also lackluster, the battle of crossing the estuary is Li Zhiye's great brilliance, the lancer regiment fought so that the Mongols did not dare to go out of Qingcheng, and even the chaser battalion formed later, the results are also very brilliant, in contrast, the cavalry regiment is Ma Wu's group is commendable, and Duo'er himself knows that his subordinates in the battle to rescue Ma Wu and others, the performance is really not satisfactory......

Duo'er's round face was full of anger, these guys are really disappointing!

Many officers were silent, and after half a ring, Wang Jingzhong, who was still an old qualification, said: "Since the commander said that he wanted to fight, then let's fight, I don't believe that the eastern captives can be much stronger than the northern captives, and the first level sent to the door, let's not do it in vain." ”

This time the atmosphere was lively, and Niu Qinzhong said: "Dongyu's hostility is obvious, he just wanted to touch our backs, damn it, we are also old fighters, can we suffer his loss?" Beiyu also happens to be interested, since he has run away, let's take this Dongyu knife, and then pull out this dog's stockade after the fight, and see who will dare to rob us and Yusheng's caravan in the future? ”

Wang Jingzhong shook his head and smiled: "We are here to maintain business, and we have to fight with the buyer, where is the reason?" ”

While everyone was laughing, Duo'er had already begun to divide the troops.

There are three brigades of the cavalry regiment, the regimental headquarters has a direct guard company, and a squadron of Tangma heralds, as well as staff officers, military personnel, military and political officers and direct subordinates, military judges and directly subordinate suppressors, quartermasters and a group of capable subordinates, and a regimental artillery company, but because the road is too far away, the artillery is left behind for hundreds of miles, and there is really no way to carry the artillery in the lightly armed cavalry, even the lightest artillery has to be pulled by several horses, and the terrain requirements are much higher than that of war horses, if it is a battle that advances slowly, no matter how you say the artillery, you have to bring it, and the more the merrier, you have to throw it in the rear during a raid.

The three brigades, plus the regimental headquarters, totaled more than 3,600 people, less than 3,700 people, and when deciding to attack, the cavalry regiment of course still had to use what it was best at: rushing forward, breaking into the enemy formation, first disrupting the enemy formation with firearms, and then rushing back and forth with sabers to kill and wound the enemy to the greatest extent.

Wang Jingzhong was ordered to lead his first brigade on the left flank, and his subordinates were eight companies, divided into three battalions, and the third battalion was not fully established.

There are three companies in each battalion, three squadrons in each company, four squadrons in each squadron, and twelve company officers in each squadron, with clear hierarchies, in addition, there are about 150 people including Tangma heralds, escorts, staff officers, military and political personnel directly under the brigade, and the entire brigade has more than 1,300 people, and the three brigades of the first regiment have the largest number of personnel, which is almost full, and the third brigade has only six companies, organized into two battalions, and the number is much smaller than him.

Because of the large number of troops and the fact that they were veteran troops, the first team was formed on the left flank and swung out, and when they galloped to attack, the left flank was the most advanced in the diagonal line, and it was also the first unit to break through into the enemy formation.

Wang Jingzhong's mind was a little heavy, and he felt that the eastern captives in front of him were much more difficult to fight than the northern captives...... First of all, the armor, the first few rows of the East Lu are almost all iron armor, iron helmets and iron armor, long knives and iron guns, there is an indescribable fierce atmosphere when running, and most of the East Lu in the back rows also have cotton armor or chain mail, in comparison, the North Lu is a group of people called Huazi, and there are not a few people in armor among a thousand people.

But at this time, if you don't fight, you have to fight!
