On 24 September, Zhang Chun, the superintendent of the army, Wu Xiang, Song Wei, the general soldiers, Wang Zijing, Yang Tingyao, Zhang Jifu, and the staff generals Zu Dale, Zhang Hongmo, and Yang Huazheng led more than 40,000 Ming troops to set off at the east gate of Jinzhou and marched towards Dalinghe City, which was more than 80 miles away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A few miles from Jinzhou, they encountered dozens of large and small Jiannu scouts to follow, and at the beginning, Wu Xiang also ordered people to lead the army to drive them away.

The small group of scouts was driven away, but the large group of scouts followed closely like a cowhide plaster, and the small group of soldiers drove away and suffered a big loss, which really made the Ming army embarrassed.

In the end, just let it be, because tens of thousands of soldiers are still mainly foot soldiers, and it is impossible to hide their behavior.

Although Zhang Chun was born as a jinshi, he knew a lot about military affairs, and in the past few years, he also made meritorious contributions in the battle to recover the four cities, and also won the appreciation of the emperor Sun Chengzong, who was appointed as the governor of Jiliao, and recruited Zhang Chun into his command.

This rescue Sun Chengzong appointed Zhang Chun as the commander-in-chief to lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to rescue, which can be regarded as a desperate gamble.

This is the last mobile soldier in the hands of Liao Zhen, if the battle is damaged, Liao Zhen will really defend each city, and there is no ability to help everywhere.

Zhang Chun knew the urgency of this trip, if he failed this time, Da Linghe would be saved, because the imperial court was too late to transfer troops from the Guannei, and Da Linghe had no food and grass that could hold out until the reinforcements arrived.

Zhang Chun knew that the Jiannu army was strong, especially the Jiannu cavalry was too mobile and could attack from all directions at any time.

Therefore, he did not divide his troops, but held 40,000 soldiers into a regiment, and marched twenty miles every day, and did not leave one more mile. Keep the formation stable. Don't give Jiannu a chance.

He even brought all the more than 300 chariots of Ningyuan and Jinzhou with him on this trip. It is to imitate Qi Ye and set up crossbowmen and firecrackers on the car to delay and kill the Jiannu cavalry.

On September 26, the army crossed the Xiaoling River, less than thirty miles from the city of the Great Linghe River.

Zhang Chun immediately ordered the chariot to be used to protect the fortress, and he knew that the decisive battle was in these two days, and Jiannu would not let the reinforcements reach the Daling River.

Sure enough, the Ming army had just closed the village to rest. A large puff of smoke and dust flew in the east, and the roar of thousands of horses galloping on the ground shook the earth.

Zhang Chun, Wu Xiang, Song Wei and others came to the front of the battle to look, only to see countless dusty armored soldiers rushing out of the dust and rushing straight towards the Ming army camp.

Hold down the position one mile away from the camp of the Ming army.

A yellow canopy passed through the dark armor and came to a place two miles away from the Ming army's Dazhai to station.

Huang Taiji, Haoge, Azig, Zilharang, Dolgon and so on carefully observed the Ming army Dazhai here.

After their deliberations, the Ming army's formation was too tight, and it was not impossible to charge hard with cavalry and infantry armor, but the casualties would be very heavy.

The two sides held each other until dark, during which time they were quite harmonious and there was almost no conflict.

During the night, the Jiannu army retreated. After the news was transmitted back in the morning, Wu Xiang and Song Wei were extremely excited. thought that it might be that Jiannu saw that the Ming army was in a tight formation and the cavalry was not easy to charge, so he avoided the battle.

Zhang Chun disagreed, he believed that Jiannu would never give up.

On the 27th, when the Ming army marched to Changshan, which was only more than ten miles away from the Daling River, they were intercepted by 20,000 Jiannu soldiers and more than 10,000 Han troops.

Zhang Chun's face was pale, looking at the dozens of huge cannons that were constantly being carried in the back of Jiannu, which he didn't know beforehand.

Liaozhen now knows very little about the military situation of Jiannu, but from the bright side, he knows that the national strength has increased greatly, and the armor is now a veritable armor soldier, and the leather armor and cotton armor used in the past have disappeared.

However, there is almost no news about artillery, and they all think that Jiannu is not good at firearms, and they are still mainly cavalry combat.

Today, there are thirty or forty cannons appearing on the opposite side, Zhang Chun knows that the cannon is the big nemesis of the infantry formation, at the beginning of the bloody battle of the Hunhe, the old slave led more than 20,000 elite soldiers to attack the spear array and the car formation of the stone pillar soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers several times, all of which suffered heavy losses, and finally used the captured Ming army cannons and gunners to continuously bombard the Ming army's formation to defeat the Ming army's formation, and slashed and killed more than 2,000 Ming troops.

Now that the dense infantry of the Ming army has encountered so many cannons, I am afraid it will be worse.

But when it came to the end, Zhang Chun had no choice, he had already gone too far, and the vast majority of the Ming army brigade that was an infantry army would never be able to avoid the pursuit of the large cavalry of Jiannu, and if he retreated immediately, he was afraid that it would be a big rout, and he could only fight to the death and have a glimmer of life.

Zhang Chun immediately ordered Song Wei and Wu Xiangbu, who were strong in battle, to immediately stand in the front line, and Zu Dale and Zhang Hongmo commanded troops to protect the two wings of the army on the left and right, and set up a position on the spot.

Forwards Wu Xiang and Song Wei received the general's order, but they didn't have too many ideas, and arranging the formation on the spot was already the only way.

Under their orders, the soldiers under their command immediately laid out a tight formation, with the three-eyed guns of the musketeers in front, and the bronze cannons of the Furlong machine brought by the chariots in the front.

Behind the pikemen, swords and shields set up a formation, and confronted Jiannu.

Huang Taiji and the others took a good look at the large array of the Ming army in Dongfang Sanli, and the flags in front of them were displayed and the soldiers were neatly arranged, but there was also some momentum.

"Father Khan, don't look at the Ming army's formation, I'm afraid that our army will rush into front of the formation, and such Nikan will immediately collapse." Hauge said in high spirits.

This is the fourth time that the Ming army has rescued the Daling River, and the previous three rescues of the Ming army are not as many as the Ming army, at most there are only more than 10,000 people at a time, but against the Jin army, they are immediately defeated, and often more than half of the casualties are captured, which also makes Haoge extremely arrogant.

"Then you will lead the two yellow flags to attack the Ming army's big array." Huang Taiji smiled.

Hauge was overjoyed to take his order, he had been longing for this kind of scene for a long time, and he hoped that he would finally get what he wanted in the great war.

Huang Taiji shook his head gently behind him.

The horn of the Jiannu big formation was raised, and the two yellow flags and 5,000 soldiers rode horses to rush towards the Ming army's large array, and thousands of war horses stepped on the ground to raise the dust more than ten zhang high, making many Ming troops tremble, but they were also in a desperate situation, it was impossible to retreat, and they were all gritting their teeth and insisting.

Haoge's ambition suffered a loss in front of the Ming army's big array, and the Ming army hid behind the chariot and shot arrows and fired firearms, which killed the two yellow flags a lot, but the two yellow flags were helpless to take this turtle shell for a while.

The gong of the withdrawal sounded, and Huang Taiji in the back used the casualties of hundreds of soldiers to tell his eldest son that the fate of the enemy was enough, and it would be a pity to have more casualties.

Hauge returned to Huang Taiji with a disgraced face.

"Hauge, you know you're wrong." Huang Taiji said with a cold face.

"The retainers know their mistakes, and they are willing to lead the Khan to punish them." Hauge bowed.

"Fifty whips will be collected when we return to Shenyang." Huang Taiji didn't have time to say much at this time.

Hauge had only orders.

"Tell Tong Yangxing, I want them to use the general's cannon to open the Ming army's big array, otherwise I will come to see you." Huang Taiji gave the order.

After a meal, thirty general cannons began to roar, the first round was not accurate, after two rounds of test artillery, they could basically bombard the Ming army.

Immediately, the carts of the Ming army around the infantry formation were bombarded, and many Ming troops were hit by projectiles, and flesh and terror filled the Ming army array.

After ten rounds of bombardment, the general's artillery was already hot, and it was necessary to stop dissipating heat if it was unbearable, the battle formation of the Ming army was already in chaos, many chariots were shattered, and there were hundreds of casualties of the Ming army, the most important thing was to hit the confidence of the Ming army, and it could only be beaten and could not fight back, even the strongest army would collapse, not to mention the Ming army.

"Out." Huang Taiji pointed forward with a horsewhip.

More than 10,000 soldiers with white flags and two yellow flags rushed to the Ming army's main array under the urging of the hurried horn.

If there was only a chariot to protect the formation, and the Ming army could still fight and fight, at this time, without the cover of the chariot, the earth-shaking shouts of the Jiannu army made them collapse immediately.

Most of the soldiers under the command of Wu Xiang and Song Wei immediately turned back and ran wildly, and they scattered the other Ming troops in the rear.

Two yellow flags and two white flags in pursuit of the armor soldiers, constantly slashing and killing, they are extremely experienced, they do not go deep into the Ming army's array, but only drive the Ming army in the periphery to make them more chaotic, once there is a Ming army will organize defense, immediately by the impact of the Jiannu large force of armor.

In this way, the Ming army did not know the generals and soldiers, and tens of thousands of people fled with their lives, and there was no way to resist at all.

Many backward Ming troops were either cut down or surrendered on their knees, and there were broken Ming troops everywhere within a radius of several miles, and many armor was discarded everywhere.

Huang Taiji looked at everything in front of him in a comfortable mood, this is the biggest victory of Daikin after Liaoyang and Shenyang, there is no one.

Azig took the 3,000 horse army back to the side of the Ming army and waited, this military order was issued by the Khan, that is, to cut off the enemy's way back, as for whether the Ming army would be defeated, Azig had no doubts, but he didn't expect the Ming army to be defeated so quickly and so badly.

Of course, when the Ming army rushed over the mountains, Azig was also a little dumbfounded, and he immediately ordered his armor and auxiliaries to start, then it was not an attack, as long as it was caught, it was more obedient than a pig.

Narbu led 200 people under his command of Niu Lu to rush into the rout of the Ming army and slash and kill, many Ming troops have already surrendered on their knees, but sometimes the red-eyed Jiannu armor soldiers are really unable to stop.

Narbu suddenly found a cavalry army of more than 100 people, and they were frantically attacking westward, many of them were generals with fish scale armor all over their bodies.

Narbu was overjoyed, he knew that there must be a general of the Ming army in it, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to abandon the scattered Ming army and rush towards the Ming army.

Sure enough, the resistance of this Ming army guard was extremely fierce, and their desperate rush caused a large number of casualties to Narbu's command, and even one of the guards almost stabbed Narbu to death, if it wasn't for Qi Buchen's efforts to kill this person, Narbu would definitely die, that's it, Narbu's heart shield was also broken by the big knife.

When he led the remaining more than 100 armor soldiers to rush in and capture a group of Ming generals, Narbu found that he had captured more than ten Ming army generals, including Zhang Chun, deputy general Yang Tingyao, Wang Zijing, and staff general Zhang Hongmo and Yang Huazheng.

Narb couldn't help but be ecstatic. (To be continued.) )
