(Thank you to the reloaded priest for voting for the precious monthly ticket, and thank you for the reward who chose to take the middle route without left or right, thank you.) ）

May 19, 14th year of Chongzhen.

The weather on this day was very good, the fiery red sun rose early in the morning, the blue sky, there was no trace of clouds, no one could have imagined that the biggest battle in the history of Liaodong was about to begin.

When the army set off, Chen Xinjia always had a smile on his face, and his emotions infected the people around him, and everyone was full of confidence, thinking that he would be able to take Guangning today and drive the Houjin Tartars to the north of the Liao River.

This kind of confidence mainly comes from the battle the day before, killing more than 1,300 Tartars, and it was a field battle, such a victory is enough to support strong confidence, enough to make Chen Xinjia have a strong determination.

When Chen Xinjia was caught off guard, the fight came.

The army had been marching for more than an hour, not far from Quang Ninh City, and at this time, when the scout in charge of reconnaissance came to report, his face turned pale, saying that a large number of Houjin Tartars had been found in front, and the number of people could not be estimated for the time being.

Chen Xinjia was not very panicked, since he had seen a large-scale Tartar, this showed that the Tartars did not want to defend the city, and fought with the army in the field, one order after another was issued, and the Shenji battalion was quickly prepared, and the artillery was ready to be fired at any time.

When the overwhelming Tartars rushed over, Chen Xinjia, who was observing with a telescope, shook his body, and at this time, he faintly felt that something was not good, why would there be so many Tartars.

The artillery began to roar, and with the sound of explosions, the formation of the Tartars charging suddenly became a little chaotic, and some of the horses and Tartars were even blown away directly, but the artillery could not stop the Tartar charge. A large amount of arrows began to appear above the army, and many sergeants in the army were shot by the rain of arrows and fell to the ground in pain.

When cavalry fights, the focus is on momentum, that is, when charging. The two armies are facing each other, whoever can overpower the other side will basically be able to win, Chen Xinjia knows this, Zu Dale, Zu Dabi and others are even more clear, just when the artillery began to roar, they were also ready to charge, although there were countless arrows flying over.

Chen Xinjia finally gave the order to charge.

Zu Dale charged from the front, his eyes red. Wow Wow screamed and rushed towards the Houjin Tartars, the rumbling drums, along with the still roaring artillery, shook the earth.

The two torrents collided together in an instant, and at this time, no drums or cannons could hide the huge crashing sound, including the screams of the sergeants.

Huang Taiji also observed all this with a telescope. Fan Wencheng on the side found that Huang Taiji's body was also trembling slightly. Tony has already led the army and made a detour towards the rear of the Ming army, it is said that the battle is going on very normally, and Huang Taiji's body will tremble slightly.

After a while, Huang Taiji put down the binoculars.

"Wen Cheng, I finally met Su Tiancheng."

"Your Majesty. The minions didn't get it. ”

"The border army of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, I have fought with them many times, and I have never shown such strong combat effectiveness, this is by no means the credit of Chen Xinjia, Su Tiancheng went to Liaodong. But in a year, the Ming border army has become so strong, I really didn't expect it, I still have to find a way to deal with that Su Tiancheng, this person is the biggest threat to my Great Qing Kingdom. ”

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that today's Ming army will inevitably suffer a devastating blow, and even if Su Tiancheng rushes to Liaodong, it will be impossible to save the overall situation."

Huang Taiji nodded and looked ahead.

"I don't know what the situation is with the fourteenth brother of Lu Dao, the news hasn't come yet."

60,000 border troops, 40,000 post-gold Tartars, 100,000 people fighting, this kind of scene, bloody and shocking, is not something that ordinary people can imagine, the fight between the two sides, soon reached a white-hot level, although the border army occupies a slight advantage in numbers, but it is difficult for the Shenji battalion to fight, and they also have to protect the artillery, because just after a long time of firing, the cannon chamber is hot, and if you continue to fire, you may explode the case, so you have to stop, plus the border army and the Tartars have been killed together, at this time, Artillery cannot be fired at will.

On the one hand, because the place where Houjin is located, the weather is cold, the cultivated land is barren, and most of them rely on hunting to survive, the soldiers of the Eight Banners have been hunting since they were children, and they have trained a good body, but this is not enough to make the cavalry so powerful, the key is still in the courage of the generals, a general is incompetent, tired of the three armies, starting from Nurhachi, all the way to Huang Taiji, there are countless brave generals in Houjin, in this regard, the Ming Dynasty is lacking advantages.

To tell the truth, the combat effectiveness of the border army of the Ming Dynasty does exist a gap with the Houjin Tartars, except for the Jiangning battalion, the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty is the border army, anyway, the border army has been in Liaodong and the border pass for a long time, and it is always in a state of battle, and the more general guard army is too strong, but it is a pity that it has been suppressed by the Houjin Tartars for a long time, and the border army has an inexplicable fear of the Houjin Tartars, which can also be withdrawn, desperately trained the soldiers, and even adopted the most cruel wilderness survival training method of the modern army to polish the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.

It's a pity that Su Tiancheng's time in Liaodong is too short, he originally thought that he would completely polish the border army, people are not as good as heaven, Zhu Youzhen had the idea of making a rash move, which is not something that Su Tiancheng can control.

Although the artillery caused huge damage to the Houjin Tartars, and even to a certain extent, destroyed the momentum of the Houjin Tartars, so that the border army was no less than the Houjin Tartars in terms of momentum, but there is a gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, unless the border army occupies an absolute advantage in numbers, otherwise the final result of such a fight can be predicted.

An hour passed, and Chen Xinjia's face had turned pale.

The army is obviously starting to be at a disadvantage, this time the Houjin Tartars who participated in the attack are not the scale of a few thousand people, and the Tartars who are charging and fighting are at least tens of thousands of people, Chen Xinjia knows that this is the main force of the Houjin Tartars.

Seeing that the army was slowly unable to support it, during this period, the artillery was fired several times, and after the explosion, the Golden Tartars turned on their backs, but this could not change the reality of the army's defeat.

Tang Haitai, beside Chen Xinjia, his face began to turn pale, if the army is completely defeated, what kind of situation will it encounter, he is very clear, he may be captured by the Houjin Tartars, the best way now is to retreat quickly, this is not too far from Yizhou, desperately retreat to Yizhou, so that you can rely on the 20,000 soldiers stationed in Yizhou, relying on the city of Yizhou, barely insisting, as for the Shenji Battalion, there is no longer so much control, and the life cannot be saved, what is the Shenji Battalion.

With enough courage, Tang Haitai finally spoke.

"Dashuai, the Tartars are powerful, and the lower officials think that it is better to retreat temporarily."

As soon as Tang Haitai finished speaking, Zu Dabi, whose face was covered with blood, rushed over.

"Dashuai, the number of Tartars is too large, the brothers can't resist, retreat quickly, otherwise you will be surrounded by the Tartars, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Chen Xinjia's body trembled, at this time, he thought that if the Houjin Tartar soldiers were divided into two ways and adopted the method of encircling the front and rear, the army would be completely annihilated, not to mention the many sergeants, he might be captured alive by the Houjin Tartars.

"Order the soldiers in front to resist for more than half an hour, and the army is ready to retreat, withdraw to Yiju as quickly as possible, rendezvous with Qian Qianyi and Zu Dashou, rely on Yizhou, and resist the attack of Houjin Tatar......"

Before Chen Xinjia's words were finished, a cannon rang out, and he looked around in surprise, not knowing what had happened to Lu Dao.

A herald crawled to the Chinese military tent.

"Dashuai, it's not good, there are countless Houjin Tartars in the rear of the army......"

The surroundings were suddenly quiet, Chen Xinjia's face began to turn pale, at this time, he finally understood, Houjin Tartar is not unprepared, but people's appetite is very big, big and surprising, people's goal is the entire expeditionary army, the intention is to annihilate the army of the expedition, can easily take Montenegro, Yizhou, so that it can defeat a small group of Tartars, all of this is designed in advance, Zu Dashou raised doubts, he reprimanded mercilessly, and left Zu Dashou in Yizhou, now, everything has come true, The army of 60,000 was surrounded by the Houjin Tartars, and by this time, unless a miracle happened, the army would be completely wiped out, which was a crushing defeat.

Chen Xinjia felt the soreness in his throat and couldn't speak.

By this time, Zu Dabi had sobered up.

"Dashuai, Houjin Tatar has been plotting for a long time, thinking that it is to annihilate my army, hum, such a big appetite, it is not so easy, his subordinates suggested, Dashuai withdrew first, and his subordinates took their brothers, desperately resisted, and killed a bloody road......"

Before Zu Dabi finished speaking, Tang Haitai spoke impatiently.

"What General Zu said is yes, the marshal should retreat first."

Chen Xinjia shook his head.

"The commander will not withdraw first, many soldiers are still fighting, and the commander will never leave the soldiers behind and retreat alone......"

Tang Haitai's face turned pale in a hurry, he knew very well that at this time, if he delayed for a minute, it would be very dangerous, and the Houjin Tartars had already attacked from the front and back, and the time for the border army to resist was running out, no more than half an hour, and the army would inevitably be defeated.

Tang Haitai, who was in a hurry, directly gave an order, asking the two thousand soldiers guarding the Chinese military tent to escort Chen Xinjia to retreat, without the slightest hesitation, and the direction of retreat was naturally in the direction of Yizhou.

Chen Xinjia, who was forcibly hugged on a war horse by his own soldiers, burst into tears.

"I am a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, I am a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, Master Su, I know that I am wrong, if you had come to command the army, there would never have been such a situation, 100,000 troops, ......" (to be continued......)
