In the middle of summer, the days are long and the nights are short.

It wasn't dawn yet, about three o'clock in the morning.

In the middle of the night fighting and marching, many soldiers of the Zheng family army were resting, and only a small number of scouts were scattered around to reconnoitre, and they had always been the hardest fighting group.

Yang He, Wang Xiaoer, Ma Xianglin and others are also resting, but the place where they are resting is in the makeshift Chinese military tent.

When the sound of hurried horses' hooves came, Yang He jumped up, and Wang Xiaoer, Ma Xianglin and others also quickly got up.

The scouts who came in reported that a large number of Eight Banner Armies were found about ten miles ahead, and according to the time calculation, these Eight Banner Armies should have set off at the end of the day.

Yang He's face turned pale instantly, Zheng Jinhong's prediction was completely accurate, it seems that the Eight Banners Army is preparing to evacuate Liaodong, it can be concluded that these Eight Banners Army who are in a hurry to evacuate must be under the leadership of Abatai, at this moment, Yang He thought of Jinzhou, if the Eight Banners Army besieging Jinzhou also came in this direction, then he and his nearly 30,000 soldiers will undergo a huge test, with 30,000 Zheng family army soldiers, facing more than 100,000 Eight Banner Army, such a battle fight, I am afraid that the emperor himself will command, There is no guarantee of victory.

At this time, no matter what kind of situation we are facing, we must persevere, even if 30,000 people are exhausted, as long as we can complete the scheduled combat deployment, then everything is worth it.

The order to fight was given quickly.

Breakfast was ready, and all the sergeants had no time to concentrate on breakfast, so they could only grab the rice balls in their hands and hurriedly feed them to their mouths.

The soldiers brought breakfast, which was also a kneaded rice ball.

Yang He held a rice ball. While chewing hard, he spoke to Wang Xiaoer and Ma Xianglin.

"The marshal's prediction is accurate, this time the fight we face will be particularly cruel, the 10,000 people led by Ma Xianglin as a reserve, do not participate in the fight for the time being, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers, no matter how many Eight Banner Army they face. Hold on for at least two days or more, even if you fight to the last person, you have to persevere. ”

"If Abatai wants to evacuate Liaodong, then he will rush out at all costs, our purpose is to prevent the withdrawal of the Eight Banners Army led by Abatai, Abatai will do whatever it takes, and we will also do it at all costs......"

After the arrangement was completed, Yang He ordered the heralds around him to divide into two routes. Go all the way to Jinzhou City, report the situation here, and go all the way to the direction of Ningyuan City to see if you can contact the Chinese army led by the emperor.

The battle began at the end of the hour.

After the scouts reported the information they had detected, Abatai had already understood that the Zheng family army was determined to annihilate all the 150,000 Eight Banner Army led by him in Liaodong. If he follows his own arrangement, on the one hand, he will step up the attack on Jinzhou City. On the one hand, sticking to Ningyuan City, it will really fall for the Zheng family's strategy.

Without hesitation, Abatai ordered the army to charge, and by this time, his purpose was very clear, that is, to defeat the Zheng army in front. The army marched to Quang Ninh City.

It's a battle where both sides are throwing their alls out.

Abatai must lead the army to evacuate Liaodong, and Yang He must lead the soldiers of the Zheng family army to block Abatai and prevent him from evacuating.

Without the slightest reservation, both sides came up with a desperate charge.

Abatai ordered 50,000 Sergeants of the Eight Banners to charge.

The simple defensive formation built by Zheng Jiajun could not have too much effect. However, with the Mauser gun, this simple defensive formation is also an insurmountable obstacle for the Eight Banners Army.

At the forefront of the charge is the elite cavalry of the Eight Banners Army, their speed is as fast as lightning, if the two armies face each other, the cavalry momentum of the Eight Banners Army must be amazing, but it is a pity that they are facing countless Mauser guns, as well as bullets fired from Mauser guns, which makes the cavalry at the forefront of the charge suffer heavy losses.

The bows and arrows of the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army are very powerful, and the maximum killing distance can even reach five hundred steps, which makes the officers and soldiers of the Zheng Family Army who are shooting in front of them constantly be injured by the bows and arrows of the Eight Banners Army, and some are forced to withdraw from the battle.

The Mauser gun could not be so advanced, it was impossible to fire unlimitedly, once the barrel was red, it was necessary to stop shooting, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army charged very fast and moved faster, which made the accuracy of the Mauser gun not very high, and some of the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army charged to a distance of only a few meters from the position, only to be hit by a dense bullet and fall off their horses.

Yang He, who personally commanded the operation, knew that it was impossible to rely only on the Shenji Battalion or the Mauser gun in this battle, which made him regret that he did not carry artillery, after all, he came out of Jinzhou City and rushed to the destination quickly, it was impossible to carry artillery, even if it was a relatively light Furlong machine.

The cavalry battalion of the Zheng family army has made all the preparations, and the one who is ready to lead the cavalry to charge and fight is Yang He himself.

Wang Xiaoer's main purpose is to lead the scout battalion to fight, the scout battalion is the most elite unit of the Zheng family's army, good steel is used on the blade, this is not the time for the scout battalion to participate in the battle.

Half an hour had passed, and it was already dawn.

Although the fight has the taste of a ruined boat, but Abatai still has reservations, he did not send a large number of soldiers to participate in the fight at the beginning of the battle, in the end Abatai still wants to be able to preserve as much strength as possible, for the Qing Kingdom, the Eight Banners Army is very valuable, especially the Eight Banners, all of them are warriors, the loss is too great for the Qing Kingdom to bear, and the main purpose of Abatai is to tear apart the defensive formation of the Zheng Army, so that the army can quickly evacuate, He didn't think about fighting the Zheng family army here.

However, the development of the situation made Abatai change his mind, which is very simple, if the Eight Banners Army can not fight with all its might, there is no hope of evacuating from Liaodong, and when the Zheng family army led by Zheng Xunrui, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, arrives here, everything will be settled.

Therefore, it is necessary to fight with the Zheng family army here in a decisive attitude.

After half an hour of fighting, the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army lost more than 1,000 people, and the defensive formation of the Zheng Family Army was still as stable as a rock.

The Zheng Jiajun did not take the initiative to attack, which shows that its strategic goal is very clear, that is, to firmly block the evacuation route of the Eight Banners Army and wait for the arrival of a large number of Zheng Jiajun in the future.

At the end of the day, Abatai issued another order to charge with 20,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, including 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers, and among the cavalry, there were 2,000 elite Eight Banner cavalry.

Abatai himself beat the drum and sounded the horn of the decisive battle.

Yang He was also not polite, the Eight Banners Army stopped the charge, but the sergeants began to move intensively, which was a signal to launch a large-scale charge.

Yang He ordered the heralds around him to convey the battle order to all the cavalry battalion officers and soldiers who were about to charge and fight, no matter how powerful the enemy was, no matter how many people the opponent was, he could not retreat without receiving the order to retreat.

All the soldiers of the cavalry battalion of the Zheng family army were ready.

When the drums of the Eight Banners Army were sounded, the drums of the Zheng Family's army also sounded.

The two cavalry galloped and began to charge and fight.

The dense sound of horses' hooves and the rain of arrows in the sky made people unable to see the battle clearly for a while, until the huge impact sound appeared, and the smell of blood quickly filled the air, so that they could see the battle on the battlefield clearly.

The fight to catch the right one unfolds instantly.

Some of the Zheng soldiers used short-handled Mauser guns in their hands, and more soldiers used spears and spears.

The bow and arrow have little effect at this time, the two sides are fighting together, you don't have the time to draw the bow at all, and when you pull the bow, the people have already charged, and the bow and arrow have not had time to shoot out, and the person may fall.

The sound of screams and neighing horses, accompanied by the rumbling drums, made this a living hell.

In terms of the number of troops, the Eight Banners Army occupies an absolute advantage, Abatai led the evacuation of the Eight Banners Army, the total number of people reached more than 70,000 people, which is more than double the number of Zheng soldiers led by Yang He, and Abatai is eager to evacuate, to tear open the gap, the attack is more and more fierce and dripping, from the weapons of both sides, the Zheng Army occupies a certain advantage, mainly the advantage of the Mauser gun, but the Mauser gun is not better than artillery, only when fighting face to face with the other party, it can play a role, and because of its own reasons, It is impossible for the Mauser to be fired for a long time, and when the barrel begins to smoke to a certain extent, it must be stopped, otherwise the scrapping of the Mauser gun is a trivial matter, and the barrel explosion will cause its own casualties.

So it's a real face-to-face fight.

Yang He has already discovered his own mistakes, in the previous battle, he relied too much on the Mauser gun, when the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army launched a charge, in fact, it should not use too much Mauser guns, more bows and arrows, and when the battle entered the white-hot level, the Mauser guns could play an unexpected role.

After all, the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army still knew some ways to dodge Mauser shots.

There is no regret in the world, since there is a mistake in command, then try to make up for the mistake.

Before leading the cavalry to charge, Yang He had already told Wang Xiaoer that if he was killed on the battlefield, then Wang Xiaoer would command the battle, Wang Xiaoer, Ma Xianglin and others had all sacrificed their lives, and they would command the battle according to the officer's position, no matter how many casualties or how difficult they were, the 30,000 army could not retreat at a step.

Yang He has been killed into a bloody man, his body is covered with the blood of the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army, the spear in his hand has turned red, and the place in his hand is even more dark red.

If it weren't for the guards of the surrounding soldiers, Yang He might have really sacrificed his life. (To be continued.) )
