Zhu Guobin received Chen Xin's order on Xu Mountain, although he was the brigade officer of the second brigade, the fourth battalion was still directly led by him, the sixth battalion of the second brigade was split into three parts, and the two phalanx thousand headquarters were deployed in the passage of Gongerpu and Shidaokou Mountain on the east side of the battlefield to ensure the safety of the back road and flanks, and the first general rule of the sixth battalion was transferred by Chen Xin to Zhuanzishan Village.

Now he commands the seventh battalion and the fourth battalion of the right wing, the fourth battalion is the fourth mixed battalion when it first occupied southern Liaoning, it has been the strongest battalion in southern Liaoning for many years, and the seventh battalion is the latest expansion of the army, the backbone of which is the auxiliary soldiers who participated in the battle of Lushun, these soldiers have received basic training when they were auxiliaries and reserves, and they have battlefield experience in the battle of Lushun, which is an excellent mobilization force, and after the transfer of non-commissioned officers and officers to strengthen, a new battalion head will be established, After half a year of intensive training, it has become a qualified product on the assembly line of the Dengzhou army.

The banner of the Houjin Army on the opposite side has a positive blue and a blue flag, Zhu Guobin sneered lightly, Huang Taiji is still selfish, from his arrangement, the two yellow flags and two blue flags of Huang Taiji's most descendant are in the direction of defense, and the two white flags and two red flags are on the right flank of the attack, and they may obviously suffer greater losses.

To the north of Xushan, Ertaizi Village is less than half a mile away from the foot of the mountain, and it is Haoge Zhenglan Banner that attacked Ertaizi Village in the morning, and at this time it has been stationed in Wuzhen Chaoha, which is inlaid with blue flags, and there are some Zhenyi with two blue flags, and there are about 4,000 cavalry with two blue flags in the back of Ertaizi Village, and there are about 500 people on the Mongolian right flank, this force has not appeared in previous intelligence, and Zhu Guobin believes that it has just arrived at the battlefield.

There is a passage on the east side of Xushan Mountain, from which Xushan can be bypassed, but there is also a Yulinpu behind Xushan, the fourth battalion has been stationed here for a short time, and Chen Xinyi has taken this place as a preset battlefield in the morning, and dug a trench and earthen wall in the direction of the east side of Xushan Mountain.

There is also a reserve army square thousand headquarters and three hundred Fuzhou garrison soldiers stationed in Yulin Shop, this reserve thousand headquarters is from Wendeng, in addition to the artillery is used tiger squat artillery, spears and firearms are the same as the soldiers, although the formation and mobility ability is not strong, but the defense training has been particularly strengthened before the war, Zhu Guobin has seen their drills, and is not too worried about the defense of the east side of Xushan Mountain.

"Lord Chen asked to show momentum, let the battalion artillery team accompany him, and the heavy weapons flag team of the 1,000th headquarters will be fully invested." Zhu Guobin beckoned the staff officer to give an order, the rider waved a command flag of the Chinese army, and after a while, the fourth battalion flag at the foot of the mountain responded to the flag, and the subordinate departments issued orders to the whole team, and soon the drums and brass flutes sounded, and the front rows of the two thousand headquarters of the fourth battalion began to advance.

The basic composition of each phalanx is 214 people, 96 spearmen in each company, 96 musketeers in the phalanx, and a flag team in the detachment, and behind the four phalanxes, a Mandarin Duck Formation Division is deployed, with more than 450 people, and the front is commanded by the deputy battalion officer of the fourth battalion.

Dengzhou Town invested more than 1,500 troops in the first wave of the attack on the left flank of Houjin, including three four-pounder guns of the regiment, four four-pounder cannons of the Tiger Squat, four eight-pounder cannons of the battalion artillery team, and one flag team of heavy weapons.

As the phalanx advanced, the spears in the field swayed, like a sea breeze blowing through the woods, and behind this spear forest was the mandarin duck formation group arranged according to the battle group, with field artillery vehicles following behind the formation under the drag of horses.

Soon after the four phalanxes of the first line advanced, the four phalanxes of the rear row also began to advance

At this time, the combat staff officer came over and saluted: "Brigade officer, Lord Chen has transferred an additional cavalry headquarters to the right flank, which is under the jurisdiction of the second brigade, but he ordered the rocket troops to be transferred to the left flank, and the rocket corps company will withdraw after this round of fighting." ”

Zhu Guobin frowned, after seeing the Houjin array, he thought that the right flank where Xu Shan was located needed to change from defense to offense, and it was necessary for Chen to add reinforcements to the right flank, but the rocket soldiers did not know why they had to be transferred. Zhu Guobin looked at the black pressure of the Houjin cavalry on the left flank, those cavalry were still unmoved at this time, and nodded after a while, "Got it." ”……

There was a roar on Xu Mountain, and more than 20 white smoke rose into the air, leaving crooked marks in the air, and Haoge's eyes followed those marks, watching the rockets with long wooden poles fall down, splashing clouds of snow powder in the snow around Ertaizi Village, and then exploding dazzling fires in some places.

Haoge, the owner of the blue flag, glanced at the flag on Xu Mountain, and there was a red deputy chief soldier with the word Zhu who recognized the flag, it should be that Zhu Guobin, I heard that he was a Liao man, who used to be just a military household near Haizhou, and ran to Dengzhou from the sea, and was the first person to follow Chen Xin. Since Dengzhou Town landed in southern Liaoning, the most opponent Houjin faced was not Chen Xin, but this Zhu Guobin, who had been stationed in Lushun in Jinzhou for a long time, and was very good at cavalry combat, and Haoge was deeply impressed by him during the Battle of Lushun.

Dengzhou's phalanx is still neat in the march, about thirty steps before the formation is a line of sparse soldiers, Hauge has seen He Chang's training, this is a detachment of each phalanx company in Dengzhou, their combat methods are flexible, using bayonets and flintlock pistols, only wearing cotton armor in winter, can serve as reconnaissance, forward, cover, regular attack and other multiple tasks, is called by Chen Xin as light infantry, often plays the role of skirmishers in the battle, and the enemy before the big formation, covering the approach of the phalanx.

Each company also had two Mandarin Duck Formation battle groups, each with twenty-four people, who also played the role of the vanguard of the phalanx, providing cover for the phalanx.

There was a sound of horses' hooves on his side, and Hauge turned his head to see that Zilharang was riding a horse, and he said loudly to Hauge: "There are 1,7800 Dengzhou soldiers, and the second formation is also this number, and I just saw a team of hundreds of horsemen." ”

"And the bigger ones." Hauge pointed to the two flanks of the Dengzhou infantry formation, and Zilharang looked along, and indeed there were two horse-drawn cannons on each flank, which were larger than the four-pounder guns he had seen before, in fact, this kind of eight-pounder cannon was first revealed during the Fuzhou offensive, and later the attack on Gaizhou was dominated by cavalry, and most of these infantry only reached the Qingsha River, so Zilharang did not see it.

"Why are you putting the cannons on both wings?" Hauge touched his chin and asked, "We're all in the middle." ”

Zilharang couldn't figure out why the town of Dengzhou had to place larger cannons on both flanks, as he thought that the front was the easiest to hit.

"This Dengzhou town is full of tricks, and a cannon can also show knowledge." Zilharang said in a rough voice, "Haugbele, you are the main general of the left wing, how do you say we fight." ”

Haoge looked at it for a moment and said: "Uncle Liu, you hit their left flank, I will hit their right flank, and after defeating their front formation, the rout soldiers will break through the second formation, if they are white, we will take advantage of the situation to take Xu Shan." ”

"I heard that the Yulinpu behind it has been dug into a ditch by Dengzhou Town, and it is of little use for us to take Xushan."

"Let's set up artillery in Xushan, Dengzhou Town will not be able to line up near Yulinpu, crush them into a ball, and none of them will be able to escape."

Haoge was quite full of pride, recalling the many times in the history of the Later Jin Dynasty against the Ming army, there was no danger at all, and the Ming army had no power to fight back under the effect of collective panic.

Zilharang glanced at Hauge, he knew Hauge's mentality best, Hauge was okay to fight and behave, but he was hesitant to do things, he was too brave on the battlefield, lacked long-term vision, and the nobles had some distrust of him, many people did not think that he was the owner of the Blue Banner, but only that Hauge was the son of Huang Taiji, so Hauge always had a kind of dissatisfaction in his heart, and wanted to get a shocking achievement.

Zilharang reminded in a low voice: "Haugbele, we can just hold Ertaizi Village steadily, it doesn't matter if Xu Shan gets it, but the left wing must not make a mistake." ”

Haoge nodded, at this time, the stragglers in Dengzhou had already reached Ertaizi Village a hundred steps, and two cannons rang out in Ertaizi Village, and two iron bullets of more than three catties were divided.

Farther in the direction of Rotor Mountain, a few smoke trails flew over the low sky and flew towards the dense cavalry, and after a while, the Golden Cavalry sent a detachment to the west side of Rotor Mountain.

Haugra pulled his collar and said, "The Great Khan is about to start attacking the left flank of Dengzhou Town. Let's be a little more ruthless here. ”

Zilharang nodded, the two of them each led Goshha back to the two flanks of Ertaizi Village, the four phalanxes of Dengzhou Town were advancing calmly, suddenly the flag danced, and then a sound sounded, and the whole army shouted in unison to stop, at this time it was only one hundred and fifty steps away from Ertaizi Village, the officer ordered the whole team in the queue, and the artillery who followed behind passed through the gap in the formation, quickly put down the gun carriage, and removed the loading and clearing tools from the gun car, and completed the preparation for shooting at high speed.

The roar of the two cannons, but the cannonballs did not come from Dengzhou Town, but flew out from the ruins of Ertaizi Village, from the bronze three-catty cannon imitated by Houjin itself, one of the two cannonballs hit the Dengzhou front, Haoge even saw the limbs flying, the power and psychological deterrence of the iron bullet far exceeded the cold weapon.

"Let you be bombarded too." Hauge smirked.
