At the end of February of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Daling River had besieged the city for six months, and the history of the Jingshi Kedao Imperial History jumped down and down, and the pieces of impeachment of Sun Chengzong and Qiu Jiahe were piled up higher than entering. Sun Chengzong finally couldn't resist the pressure of Chongzhen and the military department, and strictly ordered the various departments of Liaozhen to assemble in Jinzhou, and in addition to Song Wei and Wu Xiang's two main forces of Guanning, there were also soldiers and horses from Yongping Zhang, Changping, Beizhili, Changping, Miyun, Baoding, Yaojin and other places, but the white pole soldiers that Sun Chengzong longed for the most were not allowed to participate in the war.

The military department and Chongzhen still remember the taste of the annihilation of the whole army again and again, the nine thousand white pole soldiers stationed at Shanhaiguan were the last barrier that the Beijing division could rely on, although Qin Yiming wanted to participate in the war, they still failed to participate in the siege of the Daling River as in the original history, and from the later appearance of the Guanning army, this decision was very correct.

Those who wanted to go failed to go, and those who didn't want to go turned into the master Wu Xiang had to go, accompanied by his old partner Song Wei, Yongping Bingbei Dao Zhang Chūn, etc., with a total strength of nearly 50,000 troops, because the siege was delayed for a long time, Zuo Liangyu, deputy commander of Changping, and Yang Yufan, deputy commander of Tongzhou, who did not participate, were also pulled into the army. Another one who was influenced by Chen Xin's butterfly wings was Chen Xin's old leader Zhou Hongmo, who was transferred to the position of Linqing general because of Chongzhen's military exploits and effective play in the second year, and was not on an errand in Yongping, so he was able to get rid of the original Han fate.

The army was assembled in Jinzhou, and the Jin soldiers rode out from behind the Daling River, which was only less than forty miles apart, closely monitoring the Ming army. Under the urging of Sun Chengzong. After the Ming army of more than 50,000 people entered the Xiaoling River, they camped for two years, and seeing that the Houjin soldiers did not take the initiative to attack, Zhang Chūn had to continue to set off cautiously.

Later, the Jin soldiers lined up twelve camps on the northeast official road, and set up trenches and earth barriers outside the camp, which were unusually strong. Zhang Chūn abandoned the official road and took the southeast direction to bypass Changshan, preparing to relieve the siege from the south gate of the Daling River.

Later, the Jin soldiers were sharpened, and the two sides faced each other twenty miles south of the Daling River. The Houjin soldiers, who also held back a winter, were high-spirited, digging ditches and squatting outside the city to blow the wind, this is not the way they are used to, starting from the Fushun and Qinghe battles when the old slaves raised troops, they all came and went like the wind, and left after grabbing things, and the battle of Ningyuan was not restrained, so they quickly evacuated, and the new way of fighting made them full of complaints.

Taktan is also one of the complaints, this time to the Daling River, there are many Houjin soldiers and horses, there is not enough forage nearby, especially the coldest month of the month and the first month, the grain and grass transported from Shenyang are intermittent, they have to walk a long way to collect a thousand grass.

After surviving a winter, his horse also lost a lot of weight, which made him very heartbroken, and this time there was no decent capture, and now he finally waited for a large number of Ming troops to leave the city, and naturally entered the excitement.

The Ming army entered the large formation and shouted the neighing of horses, the flags were like the sea, and there were dense chariots forming a square formation, which looked quite imposing. Some Houjin cavalry bypassed the front and spread their rangers around the Ming army, screaming and rushing outside the shè cheng, creating psychological pressure on the Ming army to be surrounded.

Taktan stared at the ocean-like Ming army in the distance, searched for a while, did not find the Wendeng battalion, and couldn't help but relax, as for the other Ming troops, he felt that they were all his trophies, and that was what he urgently needed.

The horses and weapons of the Houjin soldiers were all provided by themselves, and the seized materials were generally concentrated in the hands of nobles above Niu Lu. Before the Battle of Jisi, about two or three percent of the armoured soldiers did not have horses, but after the Battle of the Breach of the Mouth, the prestige of Jiannu in Mongolia increased greatly, and the number of horses increased. But if the average soldier needs horses, he still needs to exchange them for his own things, either silver taels or coatings. The taxes in the banner are also borne by them, and the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider, and even Zhenyi has been fleeing in sporadic ways. If they want to strive for a better life, they can only rely on military merit, which is a channel for them to rise through the Houjin. It is also the main reason why the Houjin soldiers are willing to fight to the death.

For ordinary coatings, there are also channels to raise flags that can change lives, and they are very willing to go to the battlefield. Zhang Zhongqi led more than a dozen Bao Yi to push three shield carts to follow the big array, and he gave Bao Yi a weapon every time, the simplest was a wooden stick.

Zhang Zhongqi's Zhenglan Banner belongs to the four flags on the left wing, and there are three other flags inlaid with yellow, white, and white, and the array is also lined up on the left wing, and in front of him is a cavalry array that cannot see the head, just stop the shield car, and the golden soldiers and drums and trumpets are sounding in unison, and the herdsmen of the Mongolian tribes of the foreign domains are swarming out under the leadership of their respective Taigu, and the smoke and dust are everywhere on the wide battlefield.

The Houjin cavalry, which was scattered all around, began to launch at the same time, and they rushed back and forth in small groups at the same time, making a posture of approaching. After the first panicked soldier fired, thousands of muskets and artillery were fired together, and the battlefield was filled with white smoke and iron bullets.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, they immediately accelerated to approach the Ming army, and threw shè at the Ming army's large array at forty or fifty paces at the speed of their horses, and the dense arrows cut through the sky, raindropping like raindrops towards the smoke-hazy Ming army. However, the Ming army on the left flank quickly played a second round and knocked out a group of rangers, and the Ming army on the right flank was a little flustered, but still firmly opposed those rangers. There were casualties on both sides, and the Ming army suffered greater losses, but the front did not waver, and Houjin did not withdraw from the ranks, and the battle became increasingly fierce.

The front shouted to kill Zhenyao, but the main formation of the Houjin army was strictly organized, and they were neatly arranged according to the cattle record, and there was no noise and noise. Zhang Zhongqi didn't dare to speak, nervously observing the battlefield from the gaps in the cavalry, it seemed that these Ming soldiers were very capable, he began to be a little worried, since he encountered the Wendeng camp twice, he had been afraid that a strong Ming army would suddenly emerge again.

The cavalry battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, the firepower of the Ming army began to weaken, and even artillery self-explosions occurred in several places, and the Ming troops on the front suffered more and more casualties, and the screams gradually intensified, and the front showed signs of shaking.

The position of the Khan flag waved the flag, and the flags on the left and right wings responded to pass the flags one after another, and the Houjin soldiers in the front line dismounted one after another, and Zhang Zhongqi's Niu Lu really sent Taktan to come over and give an order, so that the shield car could advance.

Zhang Zhongqi pulled out a broken 1rì knife full of gaps, and with a majestic wave of his hand, the thin coats shouted the trumpet, and the three shield carts began to squeak and move under the impetus of more than a dozen coats.

Hundreds of shield wagons poured out of the gaps in the cavalry one after another. Zhang Zhongqi, as a veteran, commanded those rookie coats, and asked them to line up the three shield carts with other shield carts, and when they heard the drums, they shouted loudly and pushed towards the Ming army.

Zhang Zhongqi carefully carried out his duties, so that the three shield carts were as consistent as possible with the others, and behind the shield carts, there were several rows of armor soldiers and Yu Ding with infantry bows, and they advanced under the leadership of Pashiku and Niu Lu Ezhen.

At this time, most of the artillery of the Ming army was hot, and the Fran machine guns were exhausted, and they were still reloading, and they could only return fire with those bird guns and three-eyed guns that exploded from time to time, almost all of which were blocked by the strong shield carts.

After a long battle, the jīng degree of inferior bird guns was unbearable, and the musketeers who were rarely trained in Pingrì were even more slow, and the chaotic cāo work and the amount of medicine made more and more bird guns exploded, and many soldiers did not dare to use bird guns anymore, and their vitality was even weaker. The smoke behind their formation made their vision blurred, and only Houjin's horn sounded, which gave them more of an unknown fear.

However, part of the front line faced by the left flank was the Ming army's chariot formation, but this army was very well-organized, and they used their firearms to use the law, and continued to hit the chariot formation of Houjin, and the sound of the Fran machine was not broken, and there was a continuous throwing shè of the foot bow, and the archers behind the shield chariot were hit from time to time.

The rangers successively let go of the front and turned to the rear of the Ming army, and the rear golden archers advanced to seventy paces in a strict array, Niu Lu really shouted, Zhang Zhongqi quickly stopped, and the shield car he was in was hit twice by the small bullet of the Fran machine, but fortunately, the power was not strong, and the shield car covered with cowhide and quilt withstood it.

More than 5,000 golden archers raised the joint bow, a conch horn sounded, locust-like arrows flew towards the dense Ming army formation, the first wave has not yet landed, the second wave rushed up, after the Jin soldiers calmly sent shè under the cover of the shield car for about ten rounds, tens of thousands of light arrows fell into the rear of the Ming army in a short time, and the dense formation made the Ming army suffer heavy casualties.

The Ming army in the front row had a shield defense, but the Ming army in the back row almost only had one piece of clothing, and the inferior protection was vulnerable under the light arrows created by Hou Jin Jīng's heart, and the Ming army struggled and fell, the array was filled with screams, and the front line was in chaos. Only the chariot formation was still firm, and they kept attacking the Houjin army with Hongyi cannons and Fran machines, causing a lot of casualties to the Houjin army, and many archers flashed out in the side box workshop, regardless of the casualties and the Houjin soldiers.

As soon as the rain of arrows was over, Houjin beat the drums, and the watery heavy armored dead soldiers rushed out of the shield cart with long soldiers in their hands, and rushed towards the Ming army in a strict array. Zhang Zhongqi's position was at the edge of the formation, waiting for the white-armored soldiers on horseback to pass the guò shield cart, and he shouted at the other coats, telling them to pick up their rudimentary weapons and follow up behind the formation.

There was a shout in front of him, the dead soldiers charged under the guidance of Niu Luqi, only scattered muskets returned fire in the Ming army's formation, and all that was left was the shouts of the officers, Zhang Zhongqi could understand that they were making the soldiers desperate, and the Chinese with a foreign accent suddenly made him feel a strange feeling in his heart.

The front soon fell into a fierce battle, Zhang Zhongqi looked at those fiercely waved weapons, and his mouth was dry, and he had forgotten to compete for military merits.

The white-armored soldiers on horseback rode under the guidance of a Zhuanda, and the Zhunda roared, and a group of white-armored soldiers immediately accelerated and rushed forward, and Zhang Zhongqi saw their white-spooned figures go straight into the enemy formation.

Suddenly, there was a series of violent explosions in the car formation on the left, and the Houjin soldiers who were impacting the car formation fell in pieces, and a kind of artillery that he had never heard of was shot in a row, which seemed to have the shè speed of the Fran machine, but it was full of scattered bullets. This kind of artillery is indeed a Furlong machine, but the largest thousand-pound Furlong machine, these cannons did not fire until the Houjin soldiers rushed closer, and the Houjin soldiers in front of them suffered heavy losses, and the front was in disarray. The Houjin soldiers behind did not dare to rush the car formation, turned to the direction where Zhang Zhongqi was, and attacked the Ming troops who had no car formation to cover.

Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly hid behind a few coats, he was afraid that the artillery over there would come, and he thought again that there might be a powerful Ming army in the car formation, and this time it might be another loss.

At this moment, the right flank resounded with a cheer like cháo, Zhang Zhongqi's vision was blocked by the front row, and he didn't know what was happening, but in a blink of an eye, the armored soldiers in front of him also shouted loudly, and the speed of their advance quickly accelerated.

The sound of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers howling in panic was shocking, and victory suddenly came. The hooves of the Houjin Rear rumbled, and the Great Khan sent several reserve cavalry, who bypassed the battlefield and dared to go to the only way for the Ming army to retreat to Jinzhou.

"Win, win." Zhang Zhongqi excitedly said to a group of Baoyi, he hadn't fought much, but he also knew that if only the car array was left, no matter how powerful the Ming army was, it would not be able to defeat tens of thousands of Houjin warriors.

Zhang Zhongqi cautiously glanced at the car array, there was a character on the big flag over there, which was one of the few words he knew, because he was also surnamed Zhang, and the two words of Zhongqi were changed for him by a timid Xiucai who used to be the same coat, hoping that he could survive because of this, sure enough, Zhang Zhongqi survived, but that Xiucai starved to death early.

"It's also a surname Zhang, I don't know if it's the same ancestor as me." Zhang Zhongqi thought for no reason.

"Zhang Zhongqi!!" The voice of Taktan came.

"The minions are here!" Zhang Zhongqi replied quickly.

Taktan laughed and said: "That barbarian Wu Zongbing ran away again, otherwise it will be troublesome, immediately take you back to push the shield cart, let's pack up the cart, grab the coat, and give you one." ”

"Don't worry, the master, the slave will go right away and help the master kill all those southern barbarians." Zhang Zhongqi smiled, hurriedly replied respectfully, and drove a group of coats back to push the shield cart......

Half an hour later, the car formation was overcome. Only a few thousand of the 50,000 Ming troops fled back to Jinzhou, and dozens of generals below Zhang Chūn were captured. The annihilation of the whole army, which Da Ming feared the most, was staged again.
