At dawn, Dolgon wore a well-made silver-white iron armor and rode at the foot of the Rotor Mountain on the west side of Yulinpu, two hundred steps away is the Rotor Mountain Village, which is an important support point in the Huang Taiji Westward Offensive Tactics, seizing here can compress the Dengzhou Front to the south, so that the Dengzhou Front retreats over the Rotor Mountain, in that case, the left flank of Dengzhou needs to defend a larger area, and the Houjin cavalry can get a wider front, which is convenient for finding the weak point of the left flank of Dengzhou Town.

There was a roar in the rotor mountain village, Dolgon had participated in the defensive battle of Lushun, this sound was made by the kind of porcelain thunder in Dengzhou, for places with solid defense, this porcelain thunder was a frightening weapon, in the late Ming Dynasty cold soldier period, the flames, explosions and fragments of the porcelain thunder made many soldiers break down, especially Dengzhou Town was mostly used at night, which exacerbated this power.

After escaping back to Liaozhong, Dolgon found someone to try out some of the repeated thoughts, and finally felt that it was only useful in a specific place, and when it came to the real battle of the plains, this kind of porcelain thunder was not of much use.

In this decisive battle, Dolgon, Yue Tuo, and Hauge were respectively assigned to seize the deserted villages in three directions, and the rocket harassment in Dengzhou had just ended when they set off, according to Huang Taiji's plan, the action of seizing the deserted village could not be too early, otherwise Dengzhou Town might not go out of the battle if it was discovered, but would delay until the evening and the Houjin soldiers in the deserted village, so it would be a delaying war, which was not good for Houjin, so the action of seizing the deserted village must be before and after the camp in Dengzhou.

When the three people arrived, the Dengzhou soldiers also arrived, the two sides fought in the darkness before dawn, the chaotic ruins in the village aggravated the chaos, the casualties on both sides were not small, in the fear of Dengzhou Town, Dolgon did not dare to send too many people into the village, the sky was dark, Dolgon did not know how many Dengzhou soldiers were behind, so he did not dare to go to the south of the village to cut off Dengzhou reinforcements, but continued to send more soldiers to supplement the number of casualties.

Dolgon's own strength is no longer as strong as it was in the first year of Tiancong, the death of the island of Mi is the true of the flag, and the white flag in Fuzhou was killed and captured nearly a thousand, and he was injured, most of which came from Dolgon's self-managed cattle records, and his self-managed cattle records totaled only fifteen, although it was a strong cattle record left by the old slave, but he couldn't help such consumption.

Therefore, when Lushun retreated, Dolgon ignored the strict orders of the emperor Taiji, first took away the white armor soldiers of the banner, and finally caused the collapse of the earthen wall defense line, and was demoted to Dorobelle after returning, although his subordinates and brothers still called him Fourteen Belles, but only gave him face in private.

Because of the inferior appearance in Lushun, Huang Taiji was very dissatisfied with him, and then Dolgon ordered to guard Fuzhou and Gaizhou, and bore the brunt of the repeated offensives in Dengzhou Town, Dolgon's strength has not been replenished for many years, and in the face of Dengzhou offensive, he often hides in the city to passively avoid the battle, but Azig is better, and I heard that Huang Taiji has the intention of changing the banner owner.

However, Dolgon no longer cares about the banner owner's vanity at this time, now he is the banner owner, but he can't help Azig, and Azig can't help him either, the most important thing is still strength, coupled with the fear of Dengzhou Town for many years, so Dolgon has always opposed the decisive battle between Gaizhou and Dengzhou Town.

However, no matter how much he objected, he could only follow Huang Taiji to Yulinpu, and there was no way back at this time. There were bursts of shouts and gunshots in the village of Rotor Mountain, and there were constantly injured Houjin soldiers who withdrew from the entrance of the village, and Dolgon was replenishing some, from the time he arrived here, Dolgon had invested three hundred armor soldiers and more than four hundred dings, but he did not invest in Bayala according to the meaning of Huang Taiji, he himself was hesitating, he also understood the important surname of this battle, but Bayala was his biggest capital, and it was the guarantee of his status, and he had not yet thought about whether to invest here.

In this way, the battle continued, and when the sky was bright, the village still did not distinguish the winner or loser, and the Maile Ezhen next to him looked behind him, and the black Houjin main force was coming, and whispered to Dolgon: "Master, the Great Khan has strictly ordered that the Rotor Mountain Village must be captured before the arrival of the army, and seeing that the army is about to arrive, let Bayala go up." ”

Baya Lazhen next to him also said: "Fang Cai Tangma said that Haoge has occupied Ertaizi Village. ”

Dolgon turned his head to look at Zhang Wangzhai in the northwest and asked the two: "Duoduo promised to send troops to congratulate me after occupying Zhang Wangzhai, but Zhang Wangzhai has no soldiers and horses in Dengzhou, why hasn't he come?" ”

The two looked at each other, Duoduo, the youngest little Baelor, didn't look like he had any heart, in fact, he was the most wall-to-wall, and he had no strategy for fighting, so he probably wouldn't really come to help Dorgon.

Dolgon shook his head and hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and was about to give the order to Bayala to enter the village, when there was a rumbling sound from the south, and several people looked up at the same time, about a thousand cavalry were rushing in the direction of Rotor Mountain, less than two miles away, and farther away, the wild Dengzhou army was coming, and the red tassels of red uniforms and bright helmets were jumping in the snow, like a trembling red wave on the horizon.

Dolgon grunted and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not caring about the Rotor Mountain Village, and quickly withdrew his hand, "Withdraw from the village." ”……

The two highly organized crowds of people marched in the direction of each other under the guidance of their respective military flags, and the rocket soldiers in Dengzhou on Xushan took advantage of the range advantage to continuously attack the Jiannu army formation, each firing was roughly ten volleys.

Two miles away from the battlefield, the army of Dengzhou Town began to change from the marching formation, and the departure route of each division had already left space in advance, when the marching distance was long, the vertical formation could better maintain the formation, and the marching speed was faster, and when it arrived at the engagement area, it was necessary to have a wider horizontal formation in front to control a larger front, and to deploy firepower.

In the middle of the three deserted villages resounded continuous shouting and firing of firearms, both sides sent an advance team, before dawn began to fight, the competition in the village was very fierce, only the northwest of the rotor mountain Zhangwangzhai did not fight.

According to Huang Taiji's established tactics, these three deserted villages were important support points for dealing with Dengzhou firearms and an important guarantee for the success of the Houjin operation. Houjin Striker in the three deserted villages have encountered Dengzhou's advance team competition, most of these advance teams for dragoons or mandarin duck formation, the two sides for the three ruins to fight, Houjin then used the advantage of the number and speed of cavalry to send a large group of reinforcements, compressed the Dengzhou cavalry line, so that the Dengzhou advance team fighting for four small villages to get limited reinforcements, Houjin soldiers in the battle for several deserted villages occupy a certain advantage.

At six o'clock, the first round of competition for the four small villages in the middle of the two formations came to an end, and the Jin army invested thousands of heavy troops in Ertaizi Village on the east side, and sent the cavalry with blue flags to respond, and the bureau of the two mandarin duck formations of the fourth battalion of Dengzhou was driven out of the village, and retreated to Xushan under the response of a Dengzhou cavalry, ensuring that the tactics of the left flank defense of Huang Taiji were implemented.

The village of Wangjiatun in the middle of the battle line, the only place in the plains that could be used as a barrier, was very strong in the troops, and after fierce battles, each side occupied half of the village, so that the other side's plans were frustrated.

Because of Dolgon's hesitation, the village of Rotor Mountain at the foot of the eastern slope of the Rotor Mountain on the west side was captured by the 1st General and 2nd Division of the 1st Battalion of Dengzhou Town, and a Dengzhou cavalry arrived later, and the artillery of the 2nd Division also followed into the village and set up artillery on the north side of the village.

Zhangwangzhai in the northwest of Rotor Mountain was occupied by the White Banner of the Later Jin Dynasty, giving the Later Jin army the right to control the road around the west side of the Rotor Mountain.

The two sides fought for the battlefield location in advance, and the Houjin army obtained Ertaizi Village on the east side, the cavalry passage on the west side of Rotor Mountain, and half of Wangjiatun Village in the center.

In the wilderness between Xushan and Rotor Mountain, Dengzhou and Houjin rangers chased back and forth, and neither side of the rangers could drive the other out of the battlefield, as the armies of the two sides approached, the activity space of the middle rangers became narrow, and the slightly larger supporting cavalry rushed to their respective large formations, leaving only some scattered cavalry to confront.

The forwards of the two armies arrived on the battlefield one after another, mainly cavalry, in order to control their respective positions, and the forwards of the two armies were more than two miles apart. After the forward stabilized the battle line, the ocean-like array began to line up under the command of countless banners......

At that time, the army of Dengzhou Town arrived at the position of the front, the white field outside Yulinpu was covered with red, the front line was full of dazzling red, and the neat phalanx was forbidden in the sound of trumpets and drums, and the neat steps made the ground vibrate slightly, and each battalion entered its own combat position under the command of the flag and drum.

The large array of Dengzhou Town is divided into two lines, the first line is five combat battalions, and the first, second, third, seventh and fourth battalions of soldiers are in turn from Rotant Mountain to Xushan.

The five battalions in the front are also deployed in two lines, all with phalanx infantry in front, each battalion has two phalanx thousand headquarters, and the two divisions to which each thousand headquarters belong are deployed one in front and one behind, with an interval of 70 steps between the front and rear, and the interval between the two companies of each division is 20 steps, and they can use side fire support for each other.

The two divisions of the Mandarin Duck Formation Thousand Headquarters under the middle lane combat battalion are split and used, one division is deployed between the front and rear phalanxes with the most flexible combat group in Dengzhou Town, and responds to the front battle and supports the weak points of the front at any time, and the sentry cavalry and other cavalry in each battalion are also all deployed in the middle zone, and the other division is deployed behind the second line of the front line to serve as the reserve of the whole battalion. The Mandarin Duck Array deployed in the phalanx can not only engage the large array of the Qi family army in a large formation, but also use the flexibility and high mobility of the Mandarin Duck Array to pass through the gap in the phalanx and carry out rapid attacks and counterattacks against the enemy.

In the period of the convergence of hot and cold weapons, Chen Xin mixed the new military reform tactics of the West and the East to form a unique battle camp in Dengzhou Town, which not only had the heaviness of the European phalanx, but also retained the flexibility of the mandarin duck formation of the Qi family's army.

The second line of the large array includes two battalions of the Guards Brigade, the first battalion of the guards on the left and the second battalion of the guards on the right.

The Dengzhou cavalry battalion has four thousand cavalry headquarters, two thousand dragoon headquarters and one sentinel cavalry team directly under the central government, totaling 6,800 people.

Dengzhou Town set up a heavy formation deployed on two fronts, the first battalion of the front formation, the first general of the sixth battalion, and the first cavalry battalion belonged to the left wing, the commander was Fan Shouye, the commander of the first battalion, the second and third battalions were the middle army of the front formation, the commander was Zheng Sanhu, the commander of the first brigade in southern Liaoning, the seventh and fourth battalions were the right flank of the front formation, and the commander was Zhu Guobin, the commander of the second brigade.

The rear formation is the Guards Brigade, which has jurisdiction over the 1st Guards Battalion, the 2nd Guards Battalion and the 1000 Guards Cavalry Headquarters, and the commander is Wang Changfu, who serves as the reserve of the whole army. The remaining second cavalry battalion and combat engineer company were under the direct jurisdiction of Chen Xin.

After the battle for the forward, although Dengzhou lost Ertaizi Village, it controlled the important rotor mountain village on the left flank, with Xushan as a support point on the right flank, and Wangjiatun in the middle of the road was in the scramble, and achieved a certain geographical advantage at the beginning, basically achieving the goal of Chen Xin taking the initiative to choose the battlefield.

Both sides are strong armies in this era, the formation is carried out very quickly, a flag appears in the other party's field of vision, Chongzhen eight years of September 9 at two o'clock, the commanders of the two armies recognize the flag in each other's eyes. (To be continued.) )
