"What, there is an army of Jiannu in front, with five thousand people!" Sun Yuan frowned.

Time rewinds to the previous time, looking at Tang Wenxing, whose left arm was full of blood, Sun Yuan asked again: "Can you see, five thousand men and horses, many of which are cavalry, are all elite Jiannu?" ”

"I see, my subordinates are close enough to smell the stench on them."

The officers of the Ningxiang Army all gathered around Sun Yuan and looked at their commander with inquiring eyes. This army was formed by Sun Yuan, from the formation of the army to the present, has not tasted a defeat, except in the Chuzhou War, because there are many recruits in the army, there have been certain casualties. In the next few battles, there were almost no casualties.

Up to now, there is a fanatical worship of Sun Yuan in the army.

When encountering a major event, everyone was waiting for Sun Yuan's order for the first time.

Sun Yuan touched the beard on his upper lips and smiled bitterly: "At dawn, such a large group of Jiannu suddenly came out of the camp, no matter what, this night attack is no longer possible." ”

Fei Hong: "Indeed, General, the next step is to fight or retreat, and please decide, General." ”

"Yes, General, give the order!" The crowd whispered.

Sun Yuan: "In this battle, Inspector Lu dispatched Xuanda Tianxiong and my Ningxiang Fourth Army, walked all night, and saw that it was on the ground, but it became like this. Since the sneak attack failed, it is estimated that it can only be fought hard. ”

Shao Wei: "That's true, although there are 100,000 Jiannu, our army has dispatched nearly 20,000 this time, and this battle may not be impossible to fight." General, without further ado, let's prepare as soon as possible! Otherwise, when the enemy comes into contact with me, I will be caught off guard. ”

The other generals also said at the same time: "General Shao is right

。 ”

"Okay, let's get ready for battle first." Sun Yuanyi waved his hand: "In addition, immediately send a scout horse to bring the news of the enemy's dispatch to Inspector Lu." In my opinion, it is impossible for Jiannu to have only this little number of people, and it is not good to say that there are still a few ways to let the brother troops also prepare. ”

"Good!"

At the sound of the order, all the soldiers got busy.

The marching troops stopped, and everywhere there were orders from officers, and after a few moments, a large phalanx of two thousand men appeared in the wilderness. [.Lots of good]

For this day, the Ningxiang Army has been preparing for a long time.

Soldiers are born to fight, and everyone knows that Sun Yuan trained everyone for so long to let everyone get meritorious service on the battlefield.

Although today's Ningxiang Army is all veterans, they have experienced the Chuzhou War. At the beginning of entering Beijing, he also had a fight with Ah Shan. However, during the Chuzhou War, their opponent was a peasant army that could not be worse. As for the battle with Ashan, the enemy was only more than a thousand people, and all of them were Han troops, and the real Jiannu was only a hundred. When it comes to the experience of fighting with Jiannu, everyone is still lacking.

Now, an army of more than 5,000 Dongyi suddenly appeared in front.

What the combat effectiveness of the True Tartars were, and whether the two thousand Ningxiang troops would be able to withstand their attacks, was now unknown.

It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous.

At the front of the phalanx, Pablo and the artillerymen were rapidly assembling the four-pounder cannon. Probably because he was so nervous, the soldier carrying the shell moved too much, and the basket fell to the ground, and the solid stone bullets inside rolled all over the ground.

"What for?" An officer shouted and scolded: "Coward, you are scared like this before you see Jiannu." Could it be that you have to pee your pants while you have to pee your pants? ”

"I, I, I ......" the artilleryman was scolded with tears in his eyes.

Pablo smiled, leaned down to pick up the shells on the ground, and then turned back and said, "Don't cry, I know you're nervous." When I first went to war, I was scared. However, wait until the shells go off, and you will not be afraid. Also, although the artillery is at the forefront, when the enemy rushes to the front, it will retreat into the middle of the formation. Don't worry, we are General Sun Yuan's treasure, he is reluctant to let us die on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the whole army will protect us

。 ”

Sun Yuan happened to be standing in front of the formation, and when he heard this, he smiled, reached out and patted the soldier's shoulder, "You can't die, as long as you are brave enough." I know this war best. The enemy's sword and arrow are very evil, and they will only pick on the cowardly. If you are brave enough, the arrows of Jiannu will go around you. ”

It's strange to say, when he slapped it with his hand, the artilleryman stopped crying, and was comforted in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Really?" ”

Sun Yuan: "I promise." ”

With that, he crouched down and picked up the flint and sickle to set the brazier on fire.

At the same time, the soldiers in the phalanx also put down the armor bags they were carrying on their backs and helped each other put on the armor.

Rows of unexpectedly long spears stood up, and the flat ground was like a forest of steel. The musketeers' muskets were also reloaded, and an officer was lecturing, followed by the sound of the count.

"One."

"Two"

"Three."

……

After walking all night, the Ningxiang army was a little tired. After setting up the formation and putting on the armor, the soldiers took out the dry food in their arms one after another, and swallowed the water in the gourd, seizing the time to replenish their strength.

"General, you better put on your armor first!" Yu Xiang and Xiao Mao kept reminding Sun Yuan.

For this General Sun, sometimes they really have no choice. Sun Yuan is used to being at ease, and he likes to wear casual clothes every day. Today, he wears only a piece of soft armor. On the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyes. Although soft armor can resist knives and arrows, it cannot carry blunt weapons.

Anyway, you have to put on an iron armor on the outside to be safe.

Fortunately, Sun Yuan did not refuse today, and obediently asked them to help him put on an iron armor outside. However, he was still very dissatisfied with the standard helmet of the Ming army general. Not to mention the weight of this thing, there is also a one-foot-long iron branch on the top, like a small lightning rod. It's also dotted with red tassels, and wearing them will instantly turn you into a proud.

Luckily, it's a sunny day. If it thunders and rains, Sun Yuan will definitely not say a word, and throw this dangerous thing on the ground first

。

To tell the truth, after traveling to the Ming Dynasty, Sun Yuan had a lot of complaints about the uniforms of the Ming army. Especially their helmets and mandarin duck jackets. Therefore, there are many differences between the military uniforms of the Ningxiang Army and the general border army. As for the helmets of ordinary soldiers, they are simply the appearance of steel helmets in later generations.

……

Soon, the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded ahead.

More than a dozen Jiannu cavalry appeared on the horizon, and it was about the sudden appearance of the Ningxiang army that surprised them.

The dozen or so riders stopped, then quickly turned and ran backwards, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

"We have few soldiers and many enemies, and Jiannu will never let go of the opportunity to eat a Ming army in the formation." Sun Yuan said to Fei Hong beside him: "Generally speaking, the army's reconnaissance circle should be about ten miles. In other words, it won't be long before the main force of Jiannu will come. Two thousand against five thousand, this battle is a big test for our Ningxiang army. ”

Fei Hong: "According to Tang Wenxing, the enemy's team has 5,000 men. It should be the striker of Jiannu. I am still confident that I can withstand this team. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, there are still main forces behind the Tartars. At that time, it will be troublesome, manpower is sometimes poor, 2,000 men and horses, and they will be tired after killing for half an hour. I don't know when Inspector Lu and their two armies will come? ”

Sun Yuan: "It should be very fast, the sneak attack can't be successful, you can only attack." Lu Dushi also knew the importance of this battle, so he naturally concentrated his forces to move closer to our army. This is a general battle, our Ningxiang Army is just an integral part of the battlefield, and it cannot have an impact on the entire battle situation, so let's just do what we should do. ”

As he spoke, a tidal wave sounded from ahead.

As far as the eye can see, countless flags appear on the horizon. Bands of Jiannu cavalry galloped back and forth over the harvested land in the distance. Behind them were armoured foot soldiers, the sun had risen, and in the sun, all of them shimmered with metal.

Tang Wenxing was right, the total number of enemies was about five thousand, because the team was very spread out, spreading out a huge fan, which looked quite impressive.

Sun Yuan calculated, at most, in half an hour, the enemy would come into contact with the Ningxiang army.

nodded to Fei Hong: "Old Fei, go, go back to the main formation, and tell the soldiers to prepare for battle." ”

Fei Hong: "I don't know when Inspector Lu will come, hey, our Ningxiang Army is going too fast."

！ ”

Sun Yuan was also a little helpless about the quality of the Ming army in this era, and now he was at the forefront and became the preferred target of Jiannu, and this battle must have been very difficult.

But the soldiers in the formation were extremely excited, their cheeks were red, and some of them were still muttering something in a low voice, as if this would calm them down.

The four corners of the phalanx of spears and muskets were the key to this tactic, with musketeers at the top and large axemen in heavy armor at the top.

Sun Yuan saw that the number one warrior in the army, the donkey, was standing on the left, holding a long and large spear and axe in his hand, and his whole body was covered with steel, looking like a robot.

This guy looks like he has excess energy anytime and anywhere, and he refuses to be quiet when he stands there, and from time to time he dances the axe gun in his hand vigorously, making a "whirring" sound. The armor on his body also shone in the sun.

He was taken aback, "Swiss halberd, how did he get this weapon?" ”

Fei Hong laughed: "It's not Mr. Erhu who helped him cast it, this thing can stab and chop and hook, and it is very easy to use to break the heavy armor infantry, but it is very laborious when it is made, it is not made by ordinary people, but it is suitable for donkeys." ”

Sun Yuan: "Let's take a look on the battlefield later, if this weapon is really good, you can cast a few more pieces and equip the warriors in the army...... Hey, why hasn't there been any news from the Inspector's side, but I don't know when the Xuan and Da armies will be able to come? ”

He and Fayon returned to the phalanx, about half an hour after that.

Jiannu finally advanced to a place about three hundred meters away from the Ningxiang Army and stopped.

During the march, the Qing army's previously loose formation gradually retracted, and finally shrank into a large black press.

The rustling of footsteps and the rumbling hooves of horses were gone, except for the whistling north wind and the fluttering of flags.

There were about 200 people in the Jiannu forward, all on war horses.

They jumped off the ground, raised their shields above their heads, and walked slowly towards each other two meters apart.
