The Ren family's soft surrender made Li Yuanqing's mood even happier. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, this is like 'buying a horse's bones', if you want to maximize the effectiveness of things, you must first ensure a positive advantage.

Only the army, only the military exploits, is the cornerstone of everything.

Early the next morning, the sky was slightly clear, as if God was also helping, and the continuous snow, which lasted for many days, finally dissipated.

Zhenjiang South Gate City Head.

Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing are both in full uniform, standing opposite each other, and beside them, dozens of generals who are also wearing full body uniforms are accompanying them.

Below, the newly repaired South City Gate has been opened, and dense red figures continue to pour out towards the outside, lined up in continuous battle formations.

Mao Wenlong's mood was very high, he glanced ahead, and then looked at Li Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, this battle, we must take it beautifully!" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Marshal, you should be like this." A journey of a thousand miles is under our feet. ”

Mao Wenlong couldn't help laughing, "Okay." Yuanqing, that's a good point! In many years, I haven't been so proud as I am today! Expelling the Tartars, right now! ”

Mao Wenlong said, looking at Mao Chenglu on the side, "How is the chariot prepared?" When will it come out? ”

Mao Chenglu hurriedly said: "Dashuai, everything has been prepared." Just wait for Zhang Panbu to leave the city, and the next thing is the chariot. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded vigorously, "Order the whole army, speed up!" ”

"Yes!"

Mao Wenlong's order was quickly passed down, and the speed of the red figure below instantly accelerated a lot.

After a while, under the city gate, wooden chariots with hanging houses were pushed out of the city and began to gather in front of them.

Facing head-on with the Houjin cavalry, at this time, in front, the Ming army did not build too many defensive buildings, and the barrier of this chariot was particularly important.

Putting the chariot in front can effectively resist the first wave of the most turbulent impact of the cavalry, guard against the rain of arrows from the Tartars, and the next choices will be much more.

The so-called chariots, of course, are far from the standard chariots of the Ming army, and many of them are modified from ordinary single-wheeled 'chicken buses'. Hang wet broken quilts, broken animal skins, and the like in front of you.

The quilt is soaked, and the weather at this time will soon solidify, and it will be quite hard, not to mention the rain of arrows against Tartars, even if it is against bullets in the future, it has an excellent effect.

Hides are relatively precious, and the weather is a problem, so the effect after solidification is not very good.

But things are dead, but people are alive. What else can stop the hard-working and brave Chinese people?

Under the guidance of Li Yuanqing, most of the animal skins were sewn with several layers of rags, filled with sand, and then splashed with water to solidify, and the effect was just as good.

In addition, when Kecheng was ke, the Ming army captured a lot of cowhide chariots left by the Houjin army in the city, making the number of chariots more than 1,000.

These things are not very good-looking and not very elegant, but they are the most effective barrier for the Ming army at this time.

Soon, as the chariots began to spread in front of them, the Ming army's formation gradually began to be arranged, and there were more than 20,000 people, outside Zhenjiang City.

The Houjin side discovered the movement here very early and was constantly mobilizing, and it was obvious that in the face of the initiative of the Ming army, they would never want to sit idly by.

The time has come to about 9 o'clock, the sun is showing its head in the east, and the warm sunlight is sprinkled on the white ground, adding a touch of warmth and tenderness to this icy world.

Mao Wenlong smiled and said to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, it's almost." Let's go to the front to supervise the battle! ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "I am willing to be a pawn in front of the handsome horse!" ”

Mao Wenlong laughed, "Okay! Let's go! ”

As Mao Wenlong took the lead in stepping down the city, Li Yuanqing followed, and the generals behind him also followed.

Not far from the city, hundreds of good horses had already been prepared by the soldiers, and the group rode on war horses, rushed out along the city gate, and went straight to the front of the battle array.

At this time, the chariot array of the Ming army had been set up, and behind them, various arms such as sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and bird guns were lined up in an orderly manner.

Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong sat on the Chinese army, and all kinds of flags fluttered.

From a distance, the sun and moon were rolling, the waves were surging, and the entire Ming army battle array was almost a sea of red.

Especially against the backdrop of the snow-white ground, this strong visual impact makes people dare not look directly.

As the pro-soldiers and heralds of each ministry continued to gather the news of each department to the side of the Chinese army, soon, all preparations were basically ready.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Mao Wenlong fiercely pulled out his saber and held it high forward, "Sons, move forward!" ”

"Daming Wansheng! Immortal Camp Wansheng! ”

"Daming Wansheng! Handsome Wansheng! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

“…………”

The departments of the Changsheng Battalion took the lead in chanting slogans, and soon, the entire Ming army battle array was quickly ignited, and the successive cries of 'Wan Sheng' were almost piercing the sky, and occasionally a flying bird passing by was almost frightened to fall from the sky, and hurriedly flapped its wings and fled from this terrible place of right and wrong.

As the chariot took the lead in advancing forward, the entire Ming army battle array, like a red wave, slowly and steadily pushed towards the direction of the Houjin army battle array.

…………

The camp of the Houjin army, probably three miles away from Zhenjiang City, was almost entirely built according to the ice city built by Li Yuanqing.

Looking at the red tide in front of him slowly moving forward, the slogans continued, and on the side of the Houjin Battle Array, Dai Shan, Amin Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji, Yue Tuo, Du Du and other Houjin princes and magnates had a little unsightly.

Amin said coldly: "What do these Ming dogs want to do? Do they want to rush into our ranks? ”

Du Du also said: "Li Yuanqing, do you really think that after a few battles, you will be rampant?" This time, he actually dared to come out! Hahaha! We're going to take it down in one fell swoop! ”

Dai Shan's face didn't have much joy, he said coldly: "The Ming army's chariot formation is tight, presumably, it has been planned for a long time!" We must not be rash, otherwise, we will never be able to bargain too much. ”

Mang Gurtai said: "Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong converge, and the momentum should not be underestimated." But we can't retreat, we must suppress their momentum first! ”

Huang Taiji nodded, and suddenly sneered slightly, "Since they want to fight, then let's fight!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the two wings of the Ming army's battle formation in front of him, "Although the front of the Ming army seems to be mighty, there are many loopholes in the two wings. This will be the best breakthrough for our warriors! ”

Dai Shan smiled, "For so many days, the warriors have indeed been aggrieved for a long time. This time, let the warriors vent thoroughly! Someone is coming, pass on my military orders, and all departments are ready to meet the enemy! ”

"Wow!"

In a moment, the main battle formation of the Houjin Army quickly began to move, gearing up.

…………

Half an hour later, at about half past ten, the Ming army stopped a mile away from the Houjin army's battle array.

At this time, it was not as far as later generations, the liaison and communication were extremely backward, the requirements for the battle array were extremely high, and the Ming army was a joint operation of many units, and the speed could not be fast even if it wanted to.

In the final analysis, the natural disadvantage, the Ming army still lacked enough initiative, although it put up a position, but it still had to wait until the Houjin army attacked first, so that their cavalry could rush up to speed.

Soon, the cavalry of the Houjin Zhubu had already begun to move, and under the white snow, like a piece of colorful waves, roaring towards the battle formation of the Ming army.

Mao Wenlong saw through Hou Jinjun's intentions at a glance, and hurriedly looked at Li Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, the two wings are up to you!" ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "Marshal, you can rest assured, wait for the performance of the sons." ”

Although it has such a huge scale, the weakness of the Ming army is also obvious, and the lack of mobility makes the initiative of the Ming army extremely limited, and it can only wait for the Houjin army to send it to the door.

And once such a formation is opened, the two wings will become the biggest weakness of the Ming army.

But in the previous planning and deployment, Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing had already thought it through.

The left wing of the Ming army on the west side was guarded by the Changsheng battalion, while the right wing on the east side was guarded by Chen Zhong's headquarters, and the front was the main force of the Dongjiang headquarters handed over to Mao Wenlong.

According to the topography at this time, the left flank on the west side, where the Changsheng Battalion was guarded, would also be the main direction of attack of the Houjin army.

Taken in the fact that the main force of the Ming army was of different lengths, Li Yuanqing wanted to take down this 'dirty work' and do it himself, so as to better maintain the overall situation of the Ming army.

With the sound of horses' hooves, the whole earth seemed to tremble.

Within the field of vision, there were tens of thousands of Houjin cavalry, divided into multiple directions, surging towards the Ming army's battle array.

On the left flank, there are Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi in charge, and there are two thousand elites of Huang Guoshan and Li Sansheng, nearly 4,000 people to defend the army, Li Yuanqing is not too worried, he sits firmly in Diaoyutai, and together with Mao Wenlong, he first pays attention to the frontal war.

As the Houjin cavalry got closer and closer, it had rushed to within a hundred steps, and in front, all kinds of firearms in the Dongjiang headquarters instantly opened, and the sound of 'crackling' resounded in the ears, and thick gunpowder smoke rose up.

Different from Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Battalion and the new style of Changsheng Battalion adopted by Chen Zhong's department, the firearms in the Dongjiang headquarters are very mixed, with the Ming Army's standard bird guns, three-eyed guns, bowl-mouth guns, earthen guns, and many other kinds of mixtures that Li Yuanqing can't name.

At this time, the headquarters was in full swing, and although the sound was not neat, the momentum was quite shocking.

In addition, the Ming army was in the north, the wind was blowing from the north, and the smoke was soon blown to the south.

After a few seconds of firing the gun, you can see the situation ahead.

In Li Yuanqing's field of vision, at least 100 Houjin cavalrymen were hit by various weapons of the Ming army, fell off their horses, and were afraid that they would be crippled if they did not die.

This is also a big flaw of the cavalry, 'open the bow without turning back!' 'If you want to kill the enemy, you must overcome all fears, and you can only move forward.

At this time, frankly speaking, the effect of the first round of firepower of the headquarters was quite good, but Li Yuanqing knew that the firepower of the headquarters was too scattered, and although it seemed to cause a certain amount of damage to the Houjin army, it did not hurt its roots, or rather, it could not hurt its roots at all.

Li Yuanqing secretly glanced at Mao Wenlong beside him.

Mao Wenlong's expression was solemn, but he could see that he was extremely calm, and suddenly, he roared, "Javelins, flying axes are ready!" ”

"Yes!"

The order was quickly passed on.

Ahead, there were soon nearly a thousand pitchers of all kinds, holding their own weapons, ready to throw.

Li Yuanqing also became interested.

This was the first time he had fought with Mao Wenlong, and it was also the first time he had seen the offensive and defensive methods of the traditional Ming army.
