"Great Khan, Zilharang was repulsed, a foot battalion of Dengzhou soldiers is turning to the middle, and Jilharang asks the Great Khan to send troops to rescue."

Huang Taiji turned his head sharply and shouted angrily: "Incompetent, thirty bulls with blue flags, can't stop a battalion of Dengzhou soldiers!" ”

Sonny explained in a low voice: "Zilharang sent infantry armor and horse armor to attack the Dengzhou phalanx, the horse armor had already broken the flank of a phalanx, but another phalanx came up behind it, blocking the horse armor offensive, and then it was collided by the Dengzhou cavalry formation, because the loss was greater, and now it is impossible to resist." ”

Huang Taiji was furious, "I told him early that the left wing must not storm the Dengzhou infantry formation, why is he greedy for merit!" ”

Sonny lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, Sakhalian and Zhenghuang Qigushan Ezhen Namutai who were on standby behind him waited quietly, they rarely saw Huang Taiji like this, only heard Huang Taiji's big gasp, after a moment of breathing calmed down, Soni said respectfully: "Great Khan, Zilharang has been defeated, fortunately, the formation has not collapsed, and he can still hold the left flank with reinforcements." ”

Huang Taiji calmed down and forced himself to regain his composure, he raised his telescope and looked to the left, he couldn't see clearly in the blur, from the position of the musket's gun, the Dengzhou soldiers were already turning. The defeat of the left flank made him very angry, the blue flag battle line was broken, the blue flag has been cut off in Ertaizi Village, the battle lines on both sides are very long, if the Dengzhou soldiers hit from the flank, the yellow flag on the left side of Wangjiatun will collapse first, and then affect the Houjin Chinese army.

No matter how angry he is at Jierharang, he must also deal with the critical situation in front of him, Huang Taiji has just sent a batch of Zhenghuang Banner infantry armor to Wangjiatun, and the Houjin Zhongjun still has Zhenghuang Banner Infantry and Yu Ding 1,300 people, Tianyou Army 1,700 people, two Yellow Banners and Zhenglan Banner Wuzhen Chaoha nearly 4,000 people, and Zhenghuang Banner vests 1,600. and the strongest Bush Bush Xianchao Ha 500 people.

Ge Bush Xianchaoha is the most elite force of the Later Jin, that is, the former Baya Sentry. Each Niu recorded two people, and Huang Taiji gathered them into an army. The Manchu forward battalion of later generations came from this, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was the unparalleled elite cavalry in the world, and it was the power of Huang Taiji for decisive victory.

At this time, the front of Wangjiatun was still in a fierce battle, and the two battalions of Dengzhou failed to cross Wangjiatun under the control of the yellow flag and the positive red flag, and the middle road was relatively stable.

After restoring his calm, Huang Taiji quickly made a decision, he needed to invest in an elite counterattack, "Let Namutai lead the remaining infantry armor and 100 yellow vests of the Yellow Banner." To reinforce Zilharang, the Dengzhou infantry battalion must be repulsed, otherwise it will be killed! ”

Namutai quickly led the Zhenghuang Banner troops on standby in the middle to meet the left flank, Huang Taiji looked at them intently, at this time the sudden north wind was blowing away the smoke on the battlefield, and the vision in front of him became clearer, Huang Taiji could already see the lineup of the Dengzhou soldiers on the left, it was still the kind of spear and musket phalanx, and there were eight small phalanxes deployed in the front and rear lines. In the middle are dozens of guerrillas of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and on the right flank is a group of Dengzhou cavalry.

In front of them were men and horses with blue flags, and the formation was already very chaotic, and the flag owner of Zilharang was moving on the battle line. It seems to be gathering the horse team.

Nearly 2,000 Zhenghuang Banner men and horses led by Namutai were about to arrive, and the formation of the infantry armor was also very tight, and Huang Taiji believed that he could carry out a powerful counterattack. After all, this battalion of the Ming army had just fought, and it must have suffered a lot of losses.

The Zhenghuang Banner in the back Baya Lazhangjing said loudly: "Great Khan." The second formation of Dengzhou was divided into two sides, left and right, and went to the two wings, and there were about six or seven thousand men and horses all the way to the blue flag. Half of the foot riders, about 4,000 people all the way to Rotor Mountain, most of them are foot soldiers. ”

Huang Taiji immediately stood up on the stirrups, his fat body weighed on the mount and shook twice, his position was not high, and the soldiers and flags fighting in front of him made it difficult for his vision to see the entire battlefield.

"How many people stayed?"

"The second formation is all scattered on both wings."

"Chen Xin didn't leave anyone to protect his life? Where is Chen Xin's banner? ”

"Heading towards Wangjiatun in the middle road. There were about seven or eight hundred soldiers and horses. ”

At this time, the north wind stopped, and the Dengzhou musketeers in the sixteen phalanxes in front of them created another round of smoke, and Huang Taiji could not directly observe the situation of the second formation in Dengzhou.

Sony's forehead was sweating, Dengzhou Town's second formation was not moving, and he was going all out, and the direction of the blue flag was already at a disadvantage, and Dengzhou Town was riding six or seven thousand people to attack in this direction, if it couldn't be stopped, it would be the end of the collapse of the whole formation.

All the troops of Houjin are already in the battle, at this time for Huang Taiji, although there are six or seven thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, most of them are Han troops such as Wuzhen Chaoha, and what can really be relied on is the Zhenghuang Banner 1,000 vests and Ge Bush Xianchaoha.

Sonny held back the panic in his heart and said cautiously to Huang Taiji: "Master, the Dengzhou soldiers are rushing to the place with the blue flag, and Zilharang and Namutai can't stop those many Dengzhou soldiers. ”

Huang Taiji's expression is constantly changing, once all the soldiers and horses are invested, even if they are blocked, there are no more soldiers and horses in his hands, Sakhalian said loudly behind his back: "The slave took Wuzhen Chaoha to go up to block this Dengzhou soldier, Wuzhen Chaoha defeated thousands of Liao Zhen elites in a battle in Xipingbao, and now there are ten more cannons, which can also block this Dengzhou soldier, and the slave is willing to make a military order." ”

At this time, several riders came from the right side of the middle road, and Dai Shan rode quickly to Huang Taiji, "Old eight, Dengzhou has come out of the rear formation, and Jierharang will definitely not be able to stop it." ”

"Second brother, what do you say?"

Dai Shan pointed to the middle road, "Chen Xin's house came to the middle road, he has to rely on the phalanx in the middle to protect, all of our men and horses assault the middle road, Dengzhou two roads are running to the two wings, let's hit the middle road is near, Yue Tuo's vest still has a thousand people have not moved, let's attack the middle road together with the red vest, the Dengzhou infantry army in the back is not reinforced, as long as he breaks his middle road and kills Chen Xin, the whole Dengzhou army will collapse without attacking." ”

Huang Taiji turned his head to look at Sakhalian and Sonny, and Sonny said loudly: "The minions agree with Erbele, this is the only opportunity to turn defeat into victory." ”

Sakhalian hesitated: "If we put all of them into the middle lane, if Zilharang breaks up before the middle of Dengzhou, we will have no horses to use, and the Dengzhou cavalry formation will sweep over, and the disappearance of my middle lane will be out of control for a moment." ”

The lookout post behind loudly reported the progress of the Dengzhou army. The cavalry of the second formation of Dengzhou had already approached the gap exposed by the blue flag, and the people around them were anxiously looking at Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji's chest continued to rise and fall. His eyes were fixed on the direction of the middle lane, and he had already noticed the crisis on the Houjin front. The strongest right flank was pinned down on the north and south sides of Rotor Mountain, the left flank was broken, the middle was pushed back, the battle line became slanted, and Dengzhou's all-out attack on the left flank was a decisive blow, and both sides had a chance.

The direction of Rotor Mountain is relatively stable, Yue Tuo's vest is still in his hand, and Dengzhou has only invested more than 3,000 people, so he will not easily divide the winner or loser. Dengzhou's opportunity is in the direction of Ertaizi Village, and Houjin's opportunity is in the middle lane.

Put the two roads in front of Huang Taiji, the first is to put all the reserves into the middle road, Chen Xin has no reserves, it depends on whether he can break through the phalanx of Dengzhou Town in the middle road, the result is either a complete victory or a complete defeat, if you can't break through the middle road of Dengzhou before breaking through Jierharang, the Houjin army will never turn over, that is to say, the Houjin army must only use one round to break through the middle of the Ming army formation; The second way. The reserve army was used to resist the flank attack in the direction of Ertaizi Village, and perhaps the battle line could be restored, and the two sides would not be able to win or lose, and most of the Houjin army could withdraw from the battlefield. But once it can't be stopped, it will also be a complete defeat.

Huang Taiji, who has been swaying freely on the battlefield for many years, trembled slightly, even though it was in the cold early winter. The beads of sweat on his forehead came out one by one, and the phalanx of the Ming army in Dengzhou in the middle road was tight.

"Can I break through the Dengzhou phalanx in one round?" Huang Taiji asked himself in a low voice. The scene of Caohe Fort suddenly appeared in front of him, and at that time he also thought that he could break through the small Ming army position in one round.

Huang Taiji turned to Sakhalian. "Is it too late to line up on the left flank? Can it be blocked? ”

"In time, the Dengzhou soldiers also have to line up, and they have to form that kind of phalanx, which also takes a long time. The minions fired at them with muskets, and they also wanted to die, and in close combat they used their vests. ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "Sakhalian Belle leads two yellows, three blue flags, Wuzhen Chaoha, and a yellow flag vest of 1,500 ...... Go and block the Dengzhou soldiers and horses in Ertaizi Village. The right flank was ordered to be inlaid with white flags, the left wing of Mongolia, and the Mongolian tribes of the outer vassals to retreat to the north of Rotor Mountain and hold the village of Rotor Mountain. ”

Dai Shan heard that Huang Taiji gave up the attack in the middle, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What if you block it, and retract the right flank, who are you waiting to break the formation!" ”

Huang Taiji turned to Dai Shan and said coldly, "The elite of Dajin is all here, I can't use it to gamble, Chen Xin's banner is in the middle lane, do you know that he is in the middle lane?" If he only leads our army to attack with a big banner, even if he breaks through the middle of the army formation, my left side will inevitably collapse, and who will defend him when he attacks from the side? Since it cannot be broken for a while, it is natural to withdraw to the right wing. ”

Dai Shan roared angrily, turned around and beat the horse and left.

Huang Taiji said in a loud voice to Sakhalian: "Let the Zhenghuang vest supervise the battle, Wuzhen Chao Hafan will not retreat and kill at will, I will personally take Ge Bush Xianchao Ha to the center to respond, you must guard until the right wing retreats to the north of Rotor Mountain, otherwise you will be beheaded if you retreat." ”

Sakhalian did not hesitate, and after agreeing loudly to lead the team, Huang Taiji said to Sonny again: "The Dengzhou soldiers of Ertaizi Village will definitely stretch the battle line, let Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng lead the Tianyou Army to guard Sakhalian's left flank, and you bring fifty vests to supervise the battle of the Tianyou Army." ”

"The minions obey." Sony immediately agreed, and when he was about to leave, he saw Huang Taiji pinching his nose, and couldn't help but say: "Take care, master, please don't charge the battle in person, we are counting on you." ”

Huang Taiji waved his hand tiredly, "Go quickly, hurry up and line up in time." ”……

On the land of Yulinbao, which had been abandoned for many years, more than 6,000 cavalry infantry rushed towards the right flank, accompanied by the drumbeat of the march, and the Dengzhou flintlock pipers who had been trained in strict formations were in good order.

The four companies of the 2,000th headquarters marched in unison on the open terrain, Tang Wei carried his gun and ran in the queue, at this time they were marching in three columns, such a column march was faster than the march in front of the queue, they only needed to follow the company flag to run, and there were only three people in the horizontal direction, which was very easy to maintain the formation. When they stopped, they only had to turn left on the spot, and they were a thousand headquarters-level columns attacking the center with the company head-on.

Several artillery wagons were dragged by pack horses and ran next to the queue, Tang Wei recognized the eight-pounder guns of the battalion artillery team, their movement was very fast, but the undulations of the ground could not be seen clearly in the field after the snow, an artillery cart rose on a ridge, the wheels below creaked, and the gun carriage and ammunition truck rumbled and overturned on the ground with a bang.

Running soldiers, marching trumpets sounded at intervals, no one in the queue spoke anymore, the roaring guns and shouts of killing on the battlefield were getting closer and closer, the air was filled with thick gunsmoke, and when the wind blew, there was a faint smell of blood.

The cavalry in front of the queue had passed through the back of the seventh battalion and continued to advance outside the right wing of the seventh battalion, Zhu Guobin's recognition flag appeared near the battalion flag of the seventh battalion, and the sound of killing in Ertaizi Village in the right front was still shocking, and there were several fires flashing in the village.

The staff officers and pacifiers of the battalion headquarters ran to the outside of the 7th Battalion with flags in hand, and they would mark the offensive lines of the divisions so that they could quickly line up.

The second always passed dozens of steps behind the back of the seventh battalion, Tang Wei looked to the left while running, and from the gaps in those phalanxes, he could see the front shouting to kill the heavens, and the white smoke that burst out from time to time, and the erected spears were constantly flattened, and the mandarin duck array battle group in the middle roared, launching a counterattack from the interval in the front row.

There are countless corpses of people and horses on the ground, some of the undead horses are writhing on the ground, or kicking their hooves indiscriminately, broken flags, blades, and armor are scattered all over the ground, and the blood flowing everywhere has been trampled by the soldiers, which has condensed in the cold and snow, and the original snow-white ground has become red and black, and the ambulance soldiers of the seventh battalion are stopping the bleeding for those wounded soldiers, and the wounded soldiers are screaming as hard as they can.

Tang Wei's mouth was a little dry, and the pride at the beginning suddenly weakened a lot, he had seen the battlefield after the two tragic battles of Huanhe and Caohe Fort, and each time he went to see it after the war, he could be regarded as having combat experience, but it was a night fight, and he really fought face-to-face with the enemy, this was the first time.

The team marched quickly, and a staff officer rode in front and said loudly to the company commander of the first company, probably indicating the position, Tang Wei knew that the combat position was about to arrive, so he took a few big breaths to make his breathing less intense and relieve his tension slightly.

The position on the left was empty, the queue of the seventh battalion had already been completed, and the eyes suddenly opened up, Tang Wei glanced to the left with his eyes, and the cavalry of both sides were galloping on the open plain.

The front of the 7th Battalion was engaged in a fierce battle, and on the front of the 2nd Guards Battalion, about a mile away, there was a long array, which seemed to have been transferred from another position, the formation was not yet complete, the formation was very chaotic, the spacing between the various ranks was not the same, and some of the teams did not even leave enough width to be blocked together.

A stop horn sounded ahead.

The company commander ordered loudly: "All the company...... Stop! ”

"Tiger!" Tang Wei reflexively shouted.

The company commander strode over with a saber in his hand, "Turn left in the whole company!" ”

Tang Wei turned around with all the soldiers, and the panoramic battlefield appeared in front of him, in the thin smoke, there was an abrupt human wall on the horizon opposite, and the Houjin soldiers were still in a hurry, and there were still a few artillery pieces in front of their formation, and the positions were quite scattered.

On the opposite side of the array, the flag fluttered overhead, it was the Wuzhen Chaoha of the two yellow flags and the blue flag, and the second general one was the flag of the blue flag, and he heard the officers say that this Houjin army also used muskets and artillery, although the muskets were not refined and not much, but the power was almost the same as that of Dengzhou Town, and it was either killed or wounded.

Tang Wei's whole body tightened for a while, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and muttered, "Guan Xiaomei bless me, I am a combat hero." (To be continued......)
