"Brother Jia, have you learned how to hang a bullet?"

"Yes, it's been more than ten days, and I can't learn it again, but I really don't have the face to see you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qu Xiaojia looked excited, and shouted at Shen Jia: "That cannonball is relatively slow to load, not too familiar, but Gan Liang and Wei Liangyu are very good learners." ”

"It's not a big problem, there are a lot of pre-loaded shells in the paratrooper fighting vehicle, and it is estimated that they can't finish shooting, the key is to be able to shoot operations, this is very important, you have practiced bows and arrows, shooting should be easy to use."

This is the only piece of good news that Shen Jia heard today. There is no way, people are not as good as heaven, no one would have thought that Yuan Yingtai would come, and he suffered a defeat just after he came, and it was still a far-reaching defeat. At the time of the decisive battle, a defeat was a very fatal blow to the morale of the Ming army, and He Shixian controlled the news and forbade it to be disseminated. Shen Jia didn't have extra cavalry to harass and slow down the enemy on the flank. What's even more troublesome is that he doesn't know where the other party is. It is impossible to attack Fushun, and the defending troops composed of Zhejiang soldiers, plus the remnants of the retreating soldiers, have basically no possibility of defeat against the siege troops of Houjin of 4,000 people.

Shen Jia returned to the first regiment station, and He Shixian came over, he was still arrogant and full of confidence. Shen Jia knew that he was pretending, there was no way, if the commanders of the army were all sad, then there was no need for this battle at all.

He Shixian hooked Shen Jia's neck, led him into the camp, and asked, "Boy, you have to think clearly, do you really want to do this?" ”

"Uncle He, do you have any other way? Whether we leave the camp or not, the other side will cut off our retreat, the difference is that if the camp is there, we have food and grass, at least we can hold on, if the camp is not there, then we may not even have any hope of holding on. ”

This is the result of a night of discussion by several people last night. Whether attacking or retreating, it was the enemy on the back and back, and He Shixian proposed to defend the camp to the death. But Shen Jia did not agree, if the opponent's 4,000 cavalry never appeared, but was dragged by the main force of the Eight Banners, and the Eight Banners cavalry were harvesting crops around Fushun, all this would be meaningless, but made a wedding dress for Houjin. Shen Jia proposed to divide the troops, and He Shixian and Zhang Shi strongly opposed it, but Shen Jia said that it was possible to rely on the paratrooper chariot to defeat the Eight Banners Army. Of course, the key to this is that He Shixian needs to lead 8,000 foot soldiers, defend the camp, wait for the return of the victorious Ming army, and then defeat the Eight Banners cavalry attacking from behind.

He Shixian and Zhang Shi agreed to this battle plan, there is no way, the situation is stronger than people, there is no better way at this time, if you don't fight, it is not impossible for the Ming army to be wiped out. After all, the Ming army only has more than 14,000 people, and the main force of the Eight Banners has more than 20,000 people, not including those auxiliary soldiers.

Once decided, the Ming army was quickly mobilized, and before seven o'clock, Shen Jia took a regiment of 2,000 cavalry and 800 foot soldiers, as well as 2,000 foot soldiers and a large number of vans in the large camp, as well as sacks filled with sand and soil, under the cover of Zhang Shi's 1,500 cavalry, quickly marched to the battlefield. The paratrooper chariot was dragged by a large pallet truck, which was very tightly covered by a huge tarpaulin, and no one noticed the strangeness of the cart. The cavalry of the Ming army had dispersed far away, and while there was no one, Shen Jia unloaded the chariot and wrapped it in the military array.

Zhang Shi commanded the formation and deployed the battle plan, and he scattered a large number of vans on both flanks and rear to resist the surprise attack of the opposing cavalry. The inside of the van was a defensive force dominated by spearmen, and Shen Jia arranged a regiment of infantry at key positions to provide fire support with grenades. In the middle of the formation were arquebusiers and crossbowmen, who were the most important long-range attack force of the Ming army. The Ming army built a simple two-wing defense while digging in the earth, and Shen Jia also placed the four empty gasoline cans he brought with him on the two wings to provide close artillery support.

Seeing the Ming army put on a turtle formation, Shen Jia couldn't cry or laugh. After preparing for so long, people are not as good as heaven, and in the end, I still have to rely on the turtle formation of the Ming army to save my life, and my luck is indeed a bit back.

Half an hour later, the 20,000-strong army of the Eight Banners arrived at the battlefield with great momentum. The majestic and mighty slogan shook the four wilderness, which made people frightened. The faces of the Ming recruits were immediately filled with worry, and they stared at the front, anxious. When the political commissars of each company noticed that the situation was not good, they immediately took action and ran from platoon to each other, encouraging the recruits to face up to difficulties, to believe in their comrades, and to show courage in the face of all enemies. The political commissar of the company had accumulated a lot of experience on weekdays, and with their encouragement, the solemn atmosphere had weakened a little.

The wind blew slightly, and Shen Jia rode on his horse and spat on it. Today is the east wind. Shen Jia scolded secretly, it seems that the incendiary bomb should be used carefully today, it is easy to set fire to the body. Shen Jia sighed, dismounted and came to the battalions to inspect and tell him the precautions.

The Eight Banners Army began to line up, and from a distance it looked like a huge construction site was busy. Fan Wencheng stood in front of the battle for a long time, and when he saw that the Ming army was not numerous, he couldn't help but have doubts. Fan Wencheng's demeanor happened to be caught by Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji hurriedly asked, "Mr. Fan seems to be a little worried?" ”

"Back to the Great Khan, the Ming army is insufficient, and it is brave to fight in the field, this is not quite like the style of the Ming army in the past, there must be some conspiracy behind this, and the Great Khan must be guarded against."

Huang Taiji nodded yes, the Ming army was suspicious, but it was a little too contrived, and it was easy for a discerning person to see the problem. Dai Shan was also listening, and he suddenly said lightly: "The Ming army's combat style in the recent period is completely different from the past, and today's behavior is strange, but it can also explain a thing or two, no matter what, you have to fight a dozen to see the fog clearly, and please make a decision." ”

The Eight Banners are strong and strong, they rested all night last night, and now they are in an excellent mental state, no matter what tricks the Ming Army plays today, in the face of absolute strength, Huang Taiji thinks that the Eight Banners Army can calmly accept the moves. Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked. Huang Taiji felt that this sentence handed down by the Han people exhausted the essence of war, and out of prudence, Huang Taiji still sent a thousand scouts to test it.

The scouts sent by Huang Taiji were the elite troops of the Jurchens, and most of them were good at riding and shooting. Stationary bow shooting takes two or three years to become successful, while shooting at moving targets on horseback at high speed is more time-consuming and requires a high level of shooting talent. The Jurchens' riding and archery skills were a proud inheritance, which also created the self-confidence and arrogance of the archers. With Huang Taiji's order, the Eight Banners Army sounded the horn of the attack, and the archers began to line up to attack. A thousand cavalry rumbled and galloped, and the flying horses' hooves rolled up countless sands and dust, flying all over the sky, forming a cloud of yellow sand and dust in the breeze, rolling towards the Ming army.

The veterans of the Ming army in the formation stared quietly ahead, while the recruits were already dry-mouthed, and kept swallowing saliva to moisten their throats. Seeing that the Houjin cavalry was about to rush to the front of the battle, the commander of the Ming army was unmoved and still waited quietly. Time seemed to stand still, and the recruits opened their mouths wide and stared hesitantly and in astonishment at the danger rushing towards them.

When the Houjin cavalry rushed to a hundred meters, they suddenly divided into two teams and went up to the flank of the Ming army. The archers' greatest advantage is their speed, which allows them to harass and then calmly flee from danger, which is a typical kite tactic. Frontal charges of the archers were rare, and they were highly vulnerable to devastating blows from the Ming army. The veterans naturally knew that the Golden Bow Cavalry was bluffing, which is why they were so calm. Soon, the Golden Bow Cavalry moved back and forth around the Ming army's formation and fired, while hitting the morale of the Ming army, while trying to lure the main force of the Ming army out of the formation for the final decisive battle.

In the 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he tried his best to formulate various combat ideas according to the characteristics of the Mongolian cavalry in the north. In response to this style of fighting handed down by the Mongols, the Ming army coped with it easily. While dodging bows and arrows, the Ming army always found an opportunity to throw grenades at the dense crowd. Although grenades are not very effective against moving targets, there will always be some blind cats that will hit dead mice. After two rounds, the Ming army began to pre-throw grenades according to the characteristics of the enemy's charge, and the lethal effect was quickly improved.

Blood, dust and glory were soon dried by the scorching sun. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, explosions and explosions, and the cracked clods of earth scattered in all directions, and then fell one after another. The Ming army's military array was shrouded in a thin layer of dust and haze, which appeared and disappeared from time to time. The attack of the Eight Banners cavalry was extremely sharp, and the withdrawal was also very fast, but it still could not withstand the salvo of archers and musketeers in the Ming army's array, plus a few unconscionable cannons on both wings, Houjin's archers couldn't get too much bargain for a while.

Harassment tactics are more about patience, and the other side may change its strategy and reveal new flaws. If the enemy's commander has a good sense of the battlefield, he can change the entire battle situation by seizing a fatal opportunity. For Zhang Shi, who commanded the defense, he was obviously qualified. The Ming army did not have an advantage in numbers, and only when a steady defense stood firm could it have the opportunity to consider how to fight next. The initiative is not in the hands of the Ming army, everyone knows that if the commander of the Eight Banners fights patiently for a day, and in the end the Ming army runs out of ammunition and food, then it will only be able to escape.

The battle is a bit dull, especially when both guns can't find each other's flaws, and the battle is almost a show. From time to time, the cavalry of the Eight Banners crossed from the front and shot an arrow cleanly, but the Ming army was not vegetarian, and soon a few muskets returned fire. Most of the Ming army hid behind obstacles, and the Eight Banners cavalry was helpless against the turtle shell array of the Ming army for a while.

Huang Taiji understood that the troops in front were insufficient, and he decisively increased the strength of the attack. The firepower of the Eight Banners Army's offensive began to become stronger, and in less than half an hour, more than 100 Ming troops were hit by arrows. Fortunately, the Ming army was well defended, and there were constantly people filling the vacant positions, and the Eight Banners cavalry could not find too many opportunities to tear through the defense of the Ming army. Slowly, the pace of the battle began to slow down again. Although the dense Eight Banners Army gave the offensive firepower, it also allowed the Ming army's grenades to come into play. Most of the Eight Banners cavalry had an effective range of thirty or forty meters, and they rushed into the range of grenade throwing without paying attention, and the two sides went back and forth, except for some casualties, and the battle soon fell into a stalemate.

"Great Khan, it can't go on like this, there are many of us, why should we be teased by Ming Dog, in my opinion, it is better for our army to press on and leave no piece of armor for Ming Dog to kill." It was Mang Gurtai who spoke, and he accepted Huang Taiji's cautious approach at first, but as the Ming army became more and more conservative the more they fought, Mang Gurtai found that this Ming army was no different.

Huang Taiji also agreed with Mang Gurtai's idea in his heart, but he was unwilling to make a rash decision. Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng and saw that he had no objection, so he said: "The front army and the Chinese army attacked, sent a message to Amin, and asked him to contain the Ming army camp and cut off the other party's retreat, and leave the rest to the army." ”

Seeing that Huang Taiji agreed to his idea, Mang Gurtai was very happy, and he rushed to the side of Dai Shan, the commander of the Chinese army, and conveyed the news to Dai Shan. Dai Shan's heart that has been waiting for a long time is like a fire, he can obviously fight down, but he has to waste time in vain, it seems that the words of that Han Fan Wencheng cannot be trusted.

The army of the Eight Banners was slightly adjusted, and then the army pressed up, leaving only the 3,000 rear army to defend the banner of Huang Taiji. More than 10,000 soldiers rolled in, the sound of neat footsteps made the earth tremble slightly, and the sound of drums rumbled, alternating with the sound of bull horns. The soldiers of the Eight Banners shouted as they walked, mixed with the trumpets of the Jurchens, and listened to them from a distance, like a long song in the wind, resounding on the plains east of Fushun.

Not to be outdone, the Ming army kept beating the three-sided drums in the formation, and the drums were dense and long, like a flat boat floating in the stormy waves. The attack of the two wings and eight banners had retreated, and the Ming army tightened a corner and quietly looked into the distance. There were scorched corpses and burning flags scattered all around, the wind was blowing slowly, the air seemed to be stagnant, the Ming army stared at the front, the sky and the earth, the white clouds and the yellow sand, the glory and the blood, the unyielding and the roar, suddenly in an instant, twisted together.

I don't know who shouted: "Fight!" Fight! The Ming army is mighty! Soon the roar of the Ming army was all around, the heavens and the earth changed color, and the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted.
