PS: Ask for a monthly pass.

On the side of the Fuzhou River, more than 2,000 infantry hurriedly lined up in the Chinese shouting and scolding of the officers, on one side of the river was all dense bird soldiers, behind the formation was a black flag, on the west side was a spear musket array similar to Dengzhou, in front of the formation floated a Kongzi general soldier flag, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng and others stood under the banner to observe the Ming army opposite.

"What is this going to do with Three Baylor?" Li Jiucheng's face was full of anger, and the Wen Dengbing on the opposite side made him both hated and feared, although they had now changed to Dengzhou Town, but the style of purging had not changed at all.

Kong Youde didn't speak with a cold face, Mang Gurtai asked them to directly attack the Wendeng phalanx, none of the Manchurian soldiers were transferred, Kong Youde only looked at the dense spears on the opposite side and knew that it was definitely not good, and he knew the strength of the Dengzhou soldiers that he knew it well. There are 1,200 people in the Tianyou Army, and 1,000 people came this time, and Kong Youde's family members were not placed in the big array, and they were still used to taking their family members with them to save their lives.

Huang Taiji originally asked them to imitate Dengzhou Town, to Gaizhou in the past few months, Kong Youde also practiced for a few months, it turned out that most of the Dengzhou soldiers were firearms soldiers, more proficient in operating bird guns, spears are not very difficult to practice, but also use very long spears, the rest are all bird guns, with their own Japanese knives brought from Shandong. They only saw Chen Xin's spear phalanx from a distance, and described it through some of the soldiers who had fought against him at that time, but those soldiers were also very flustered at that time, and everyone said something slightly different, and as for how to organize, train, and command, it was not clear at all.

The two had to build a horizontal thirty vertical and twenty phalanx, and the other musketeers were placed on the two wings, basically a bit like Chen Xin's spear formation, but the biggest problem was that they didn't have enough clothing, and the soldiers still needed to farm their own fields. So it can only be practiced once every five days, which is already the limit, so what Kong Youde hopes most is to go out with Huang Taiji, so as to catch enough coatings to exploit, but this time he was left in Gaizhou.

Chen Xin is Li Jiucheng's great enemy, Li Jiucheng's son Li Yingyuan was captured by Chen Xin, when Dengzhou Chunshengmen was conquered, Li Jiucheng was on the bell tower. He only saw his son's flag fall and fled from Dengzhou that night, and he still had a thought in his heart, thinking that Li Yingyuan would meet somewhere, but he didn't see it until Pingdu. Finally, he learned the news from several standard battalion soldiers who fled to Pingdu, and later, he heard that Li Yingyuan had been beheaded in Beijing in Gaizhou.

This time, Li Yingyuan strongly asked to go to Fuzhou, and Kong Youde left Chen Guangfu to assist in guarding Gaizhou, and Kong Youde and the two led a thousand troops, and followed Mang Gurtai to Fuzhou, and he was confident in the strength of the Manchurian soldiers. This is Liaodong's home field again, Li Jiucheng has a selfish desire for revenge, and it is best to kill Chen Xin on the spot and take a good breath. I didn't expect to just arrive on the battlefield. I saw the scene of the rout of the white flag.

It was said that he should have fought hard with these people in front of him, but he was very reluctant at this time, if Mang Gultaiken went all out, they would have three thousand men and horses here. It is possible to break through the Ming army's formation, but now there is less of the Jianzhou soldiers' bows and arrows for close shooting. He didn't have the slightest certainty, and more importantly, he knew very well that the people under his command were all defeated by the Wendeng battalion, and they were chased by the Wendeng camp in Denglai like lost dogs, and they couldn't stop worrying, and that kind of fear was not so easy to eliminate.

Kong Youde said after half a sound: "Sanbeile has given an order, it will not be possible if you don't fight, the opposite side is full of infantry, and if you can't fight, you won't all die." You go to the left flank to press the formation, and I will lead the Chinese army. After he finished speaking, he returned to the formation, Li Jiucheng cursed in a low voice, and rode his horse to the left flank.

Dozens of white-armored soldiers of Mang Gurtai rode to the back of the battle, playing the role of supervising the battle team, and more than a dozen of them were concentrated near Kong Youde's general banner, and the meaning of monitoring was very obvious.

At this time, Tuo Bohui's seven hundred cavalry rumbled out of the formation and rushed back along the west side, and then a conch horn sounded in the back, and the two Han people were about to start advancing, Li Jiucheng couldn't help but glance at the left.

On the left side of the Fuzhou River is Wuzhen Chaoha, this time there are 1,200 people, these clothed soldiers are not even equipped with cotton armor, most of them are very thin, they can pull a formation on weekdays, fight artillery, if they really do a war, Wuzhen Chaoha listens powerfully, in fact, in the eyes of Li Jiucheng, even the Dongjiang Army is not comparable.

Wu Zhenchaoha used the black flag, in the Houjin was often called the black flag soldier by the eight banner nobles, Huang Taiji arranged for Tong Yangxing to serve as Gushan Ezhen, and in order to facilitate the distinction of those who added the rank of the chief military officer, and gave Tong Yangxing a Angbang Zhangjing, that is, the meaning of the supervisor. There are also six Jiala Ezhen below, all of whom are Han Chinese, and they are in charge of some Dingkou, ranging from hundreds to hundreds, and even the personnel relations of these middle-level cadres are still in the Manba Banner, and they are seconded to serve in Wuzhen Chaoha.

Wuzhen Chaoha has 1,600 soldiers and 1,600 guards, among which the guards can only defend the fortress locally, I am afraid that they can't beat Chen Xin's guards, and the combat strength of the campers is stronger. Although Wuzhen Chaoha is called the Black Flag, there is no separate personnel unit, and the following Han soldiers Niu Lu is still under the jurisdiction of the Manchu Eight Banners, but it is a separate army when it goes out, which is the same as the nature of the left and right wings of Mongolia.

This time, Tong Yang was seriously ill and had been staying in Shenyang to recuperate, leading the troops was Shi Tingzhu, Shi Tingzhu was also Tong Yang's subordinate Jia La Ezhen, and he was promoted as a deputy general, but he also had a position, that is, the elite soldiers of Wuzhen Chaoha, Huang Taiji implemented the six departments for the purpose of implementing the military system, Wuzhen Chaoha as a newly built battalion, and the troops were demarcated from the beginning, and Shi Tingzhu led the elite soldiers under the original Han officials, that is, their families and strong soldiers, and belonged to the second person in Wuzhen Chaoha; Wuzhen Chaoha ordinary soldiers are called infantry, led by the infantry Ezhen Zhu Shichang, this person was originally the Ming army Zhenjiang guard, after the fall of Liaoyang surrendered to Jiannu, he also has a younger brother Zhu Shiyin, both of them were promoted because of the battle of Dalinghe to urge the casting of cannonballs and urge the gunpowder to be promoted.

This time, 1,200 people were selected from the Wuzhen Chaoha camp to bring, of which Shi Tingzhu led 200 elite soldiers, Zhu Shichang led the battalion 1,000 people, the elite soldiers used cold weapons, and the camp soldiers were all equipped with fire guns and waist knives.

What Li Jiucheng didn't expect was that Shi Tingzhu was more afraid of Dengzhou Town than him, he died nine times on Shenmi Island last year, hiding in the mountains and forests several times and was almost caught by the Ming army searching the mountain, and finally floated back to the shore with the help of two coats holding the wood. That experience made him unforgettable, and he had seen the spear formation of the Ming army on Shenmi Island. Now let him rush straight over, and his legs are a little trembling.

And Li Jiucheng did not misunderstand the combat power of this group of clothed troops, from Wuzhen Chaoha to the Han Eight Banners before entering the customs, that is, the use of artillery is still improvised, and there is nothing good to show in the face-to-face battle array, Huang Taiji has to use the Han people, but also guarded, as long as the number of Han troops swells, he will find some sesame mung beans to punish this group of Han officials. Then the Han army was split, from one banner to eight banners. Shi Tingzhu's ability is mediocre, and he is greedy for money and afraid of death, but he has only one advantage, which is to be careful in doing things. He was obedient to Huang Taiji, and finally survived the political struggles of Houjin again and again, and died in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi.

At this time, the sound of the big drum gradually sounded, and the following Jia Lae Zhen and Niu Lu E Zhen led the infantry to the Ming army formation a mile away, the Ming army was densely formed, the front line was not long, and the Houjin 2,000 infantry had a lot of birds. About three feet apart from each other, the front line will grow a lot, Wuzhen Chaoha is in charge of the front, and the Tianyou army will attack the phalanx of the Ming army from the flank.

The Houjin musketeers were hung with large and small powder pots, primer pots, and lead bullet pots. There are still circles of fire ropes wrapped around my hands, and I have to pay attention to the fire ropes as I walk, and after I first walked, there was the sound of bottles and cans colliding with each other. The formation also slowly dispersed.

Shi Tingzhu sent Zhu Shichang, Li Guohan, Li Yangeng and others to lead the infantry and the two wings, and he led the elite soldiers to hide carefully behind the formation. They didn't actually know how to fight with bird guns, but in front of him were dense layers of bird guns, which made Shi Tingzhu feel a little safe, and he could see the situation of the Ming army on the opposite side when he rode on a horse.

The cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner was passing from the flank of the Ming army's formation, two hundred paces apart, outside the range of the firearms. As soon as the forward ran past, the phalanx suddenly spewed out two puffs of white smoke, and an iron bullet hit Houjin's cavalry ranks, and several horses were beaten to the sidelines, causing a burst of confusion, but it had no effect on the entire cavalry formation, and the cavalry quickly passed through the flanks and threw themselves into the battlefield behind.

The cavalry of the Ming army rushed back and forth, at this time the loss was close to three hundred, and the loss of the body of the people and horses was also very large, and they did not dare to fight against the cutting-edge Houjin cavalry, and retreated to the south under the guidance of a trumpet, and the Zhenglan Banner cavalry followed all the way to pursue it, and the four phalanxes of the Ming army fell into the siege of the Houjin soldiers.

Dolgon sent some Bayala to contain the Ming army from behind, and then put up the banner on the west side to collect the rout, but the white flag armor ran all over the mountains, and many people fled into the hilly area in a panic, and they couldn't concentrate at all for a while. But most of the cavalry still survived

It's just that the organization is very scattered, and the command is temporarily lost, but for Dolgon, it is enough to take the people away.

After the Blue Banner cavalry was dispatched, the two detachments of the Ming army returned to the phalanx from the battlefield and came to line up in front of the phalanx one after another.

Shi Tingzhu's head subconsciously shrank, jumped off the horse, and Goshha beside him didn't know why, a cronie came over and asked loudly: "Master, why don't you ride a horse?" ”

Shi Tingzhu scolded in a low voice: "The guns on the other side are powerful, you all dismount, don't ......" Two cannon shots interrupted his words, there was a crackling sound in the left front, several helmets and bird gun fragments flew up, followed by a scream that shook the sky, Na Goshha was stunned for a moment, and jumped off the horse as soon as he turned over......

"Lend me the telescope and take a look." Zhong Laosi was next to the four-pounder cannon on the outside of the left wing, and asked the gunner to borrow a telescope, and the vision was full of enemies with firearms, and he hurriedly returned it to the gunner, and scolded in a low voice: "Is Jiannu doing death, why are the fronts full of birds?" The one on the west side also dares to learn from Lao Tzu's spear formation. ”

His second division was on the west side, and the Tianyou army on the opposite side opened the line, apparently preparing to come from the flank, and there were thousands of bird soldiers on the front, and his pressure was much greater than that of the first division near the Fuzhou River.

Another round of artillery salvo, Zhong Laosi didn't care to see the effect, rode his horse back to the rear, and discussed a few words with Mr. Qian, who hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, Zhong Laosi hurriedly ran back to the front row, called the two detachment flag captains, and asked the two: "How many people do you have left?" ”

"Thirty-one." "Twenty-seven."

Zhong Laosi was slightly heartbroken when he heard the two numbers, and there was still no expression on his face, he said to the two: "The opposite side is all firecrackers, there are many of them, and it is not cost-effective for us to shoot a salvo when we get close." The detachment of the fourth company will deal with the black flag soldiers, and the third company will deal with the phalanx soldiers on the west side, you will go forward seventy or eighty paces, the formation should be very scattered, and after the first volley, you will shoot freely, and see what the level of the salvo of Jiannu on the opposite side is. If the opposite side rushes over. Withdraw, and they don't charge, shoot at them, like the skirmishers, and when they fight hard, you can crouch down and wait until they have beaten before you go up. ”

"Yes." The two flag captains have nothing to say, they are the most flexible troops, and they are transferred back and forth by the adults. Now the losses are not small, but Dengzhou is highly disciplined, and once the military order is officially issued, there is absolutely no room for bargaining.

The two detachments left the phalanx and headed to meet them. They spread out widely, each of them two or three paces apart, and the four-pounder cannon continued to fire, and the shells kept passing over their heads, until they came to a stop at seventy paces, and Jiannu on the opposite side was about a hundred paces away.

The captain of the detachment of the fourth company took a closer look, and it seemed that the enemy had only cotton armor. Under the blows of the artillery, the formation was already disorganized, huddled in a heap in some places, sparsely pulled in others, and some soldiers were shouting in panic. At this time, they were coming to a halt, and some of the officers shouted and cursed, as if in Chinese.

He had some disdain in his heart, and immediately gave a loud order. Thirty soldiers raised their guns in unison.

"Put!" The captain pulled the trigger at the same time, and thirty-one flintlock pistols were fired. Their side just opened fire. Suddenly there was a series of crackling explosions on the opposite side, and white smoke rose from the front line, and the captain was startled, and turned his head to look, only to find that only two of the thirty-one detachment soldiers were wounded.

There was a shout in the smoke on the other side, and the captain didn't know how many of them he had hit. I only saw the red spear flames constantly shining, and some directions were even facing the sky.

"Squat!" The captain still decided to dodge, thirty soldiers half-squatted and began to load, the speed was much slower than usual, some lead fell on the surrounding ground, Jiannu's lead bullet seemed to be lethal in a hundred steps, the detachment soldiers were also very nervous, some people were not used to squatting and loading, and stood up to load, and after loading, they shot at the opposite side, and then began to reload, just like the usual shooting training, rigidly repeating one step after another, the tension made them completely enter a state of inertia, and the rate of fire was surprisingly high, A training score of three rounds per minute was achieved, which is difficult to achieve on the battlefield.

The Tianyou Army's side also exploded like a bead, the detachment began to shoot at the Houjin soldiers, and the Tianyou Army's front also stopped, and the musketeers on both flanks of them fought very lively.

The front of the battle was filled with gunsmoke, and those Wuzhen Chaoha were still making new smoke coming out, and the detachment could only see the vague figure of the enemy, shooting at the smoke non-stop. There was a little red light scattered in the smoke, but after the first round, the interval between the shots behind them was very long, and not a single shot came out for half a day, and from time to time there was a burst of fire, causing a scream around them.

After the Houjin soldiers stopped in place, the two four-pounder guns accelerated their rate of fire and continued to fire at a fixed angle, and the iron bullets whistled and cut gaps in the white smoke in front of the formation, constantly smashing into the array of the Baoyi army, and the cry in the smoke shook the sky.

Zhong Laosi rode a horse and quickly ran in front of Mr. Qian, and said loudly to Mr. Qian: "Mr. Qian, this Wuzhen Chaoha is a miscellaneous soldier, compared to those Jiannu Zhenyi, let's send two companies to rush over, these soldiers will undoubtedly collapse." ”

Mr. Qian shook his head firmly this time and said, "I must ensure the ferry, this is Lord Zhu's strict order." ”

"The Jiannu cavalry went to the south, as long as the two infantry on the north side were defeated, and whoever could threaten the ferry, leaving two companies to hold it. On the opposite side are the heads sent by Jiannu, and they will not be punished by heaven. ”

"No, go back to your command position, don't run around like a fool, Jiannu may just collapse, we have three hundred dead and wounded, only nine hundred here, I can't take any chances."

Zhong Laosi took two rough breaths, hated Mr. Qian, and when he turned back to the phalanx, he saw those special service teams running from the side, with bows and arrows in their hands and flintlock pistols on their backs, all of which were picked up from the dead and wounded musketeers just now.

Zhong Laosi knew that they had found a bargain to pick up, and said loudly to the passing buckteeth: "It's still cool, you can fight wherever you want, and remember to return the musket to me when you're done." ”

Bucktooth knew this Zhong Laosi, turned his head and grinned, and hurried to the position of the detachment, and they approached to seventy paces, shooting at the flintlock pistol again and again.

Zhong Laosi turned his head and glanced to the south, and the bayalas sent by Dorgon to harass him seemed to be afraid of muskets, and fired light arrows from a distance of a hundred paces, most of them fluttered behind them, and fell to the ground before they reached the Ming army's array.

"Jiannu is frightened, a charge can defeat those infantry, the two hundred cavalry in the north are blocked by the rout, and they can't play a role, so they force the Jiannu cavalry in the south to come back, and Wang Changfu can come up." Zhong Laosi whispered to himself, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly to the trumpeter: "Blow the trumpet, let's rush by ourselves." ”

The trumpeter was following him, and when he heard Mr. Qian's attitude, he shook his head again and again, and his guards also persuaded: "Mr. You've forgotten what happened to you in Dengzhou, and you will be shot if you attack without permission." ”

"Give it to Lao Tzu." Zhong Laosi rode over to grab the military horn, the trumpeter retreated again and again, and the guards also stopped him, when Zhong Laosi was about to rob him, the military judge of the thousand headquarters happened to pass by, and said to Zhong Laosi: "Mr. Zhong, return to your command position." ”

"Back to your mother, Jiannu is about to run away, what are you going to do when you go back." Zhong Laosi scolded.

The military judge's eyes bulged, "Mr. Zhong, I am the military judge of the Thousand Headquarters, if you speak wildly, don't blame me for being unkind." Thousands of Jiannu are coming to attack, and you are not guarding the command position, just hoping that Jiannu will run away soon......"

There was a sudden earth-shattering howl in the north, and under another volley of four-pounder guns, Wuzhen Chaoha finally collapsed, and Bayala in the rear slashed the routs again and again, but finally failed to stop those panicked clothed soldiers, and in the face of the rout soldiers who fled like a tide, Bayala did not dare to stop it, and hurriedly retreated to the side and rear.

"It's really broken." The military judge stared blankly at the battlefield.

"No, and the horses." Zhong Laosi pointed to the west side, and the Houjin soldiers stopped advancing, stopping in place and firing at the detachments on the front and side, and the firearms were far more skilled than Wu Zhenchaoha.

Zhong Laosi whipped on the horse's stock and rushed back to Mr. Qian, "Give me a company, and I'll go and defeat that group of infantry." ”

"Okay, you transfer your own one, and you can't stay away from the ferry after the defeat."

"Why is it so refreshing this time?" Zhong Laosi said strangely.

Mr. Qian pointed to the east, Zhong Laosi took a look, and Chen Xin's banner appeared in the east, had already crossed the Langu River, and was hurrying to the ferry.

The Houjin soldiers in the south discovered the approach of the Ming army's eastern reinforcements, gave up the attack on the infantry in the south, and hurried back to the north. Dolgon no longer gathered his defeated troops, and the banner began to retreat northward.
