"The Ming army is now, and they are confronting us?"

As soon as he heard the news, Yue Tuo's first reaction was that these Ming soldiers hadn't taken the wrong medicine, were they looking for death?

"Is there already a war?"

Guni Yinbu shook his head: "No, the men and horses on both sides have not yet arrived, Lord Hafenga is dispatching men and horses to prepare, and he also asked the minions to ask you if you want to take the initiative to attack the Ming army." ”

Yue Tuo's stubby eyebrows moved, and there were a few more wrinkles on his face, and he subconsciously immediately gave an order; "Guni Yinbu, you immediately send out a sentry post to check if there are any other Ming troops around? Also, you immediately tell sΓΉ Ha Feng'a, this Ming army is a little different from the ordinary Ming army, let him be careful when attacking, don't be careless! ”

"Wow!" Guni Yinbu didn't dare to say much, and hurriedly trotted out.

Looking at the figure of Guniyinbu running out, Yue Tuo groaned for a moment. These days, he has scattered nearly half of his troops, and now there are about 6,000 troops outside Hunyuan City, and there are nearly 2,000 people under the command of Hafeng'a, who should be able to eat the Ming army on the opposite side, but for some reason, Ziyuetuo's heart is still a little uneasy.

He ordered his two sons to be called over, and soon his eldest son, Luo Luohun, and his third son, Karchuxu, came to his big tent.

"Amma, what are you looking for us?" After Luo Luohun entered the big tent, he first saluted Yue Tuo, and then asked.

Yue Tuo's third son, Kar Chuxu, also said eagerly: "Amma, I heard that just now a group of Ming dogs dared to go to the front to provoke, and the children are not talented, and they are willing to lead the army to destroy this group of Ming dogs. ”

"Yes, Amma, these bright dogs actually sent them forward by themselves, wouldn't we be sorry for their kindness if we didn't beat him?" Luo Luohun's face was also full of excitement. Huang Taiji's southern invasion was very sudden, and in the name of the western expedition to Mobei, he caught the Ming by surprise, so that Lu Xiangsheng and Xuanzhen had no time to mobilize their troops. I could only watch Huang Taiji surround Datong with an army of 20,000, and then the remaining more than 20,000 soldiers and horses wantonly plundered in Shanxi.

Don't say it, let's just say that Yue Tuo's people have plundered tens of thousands of people, 60,000 stones of grain and a large amount of gold and silver treasures in Shanxi these days. Without unified command, the soldiers and civilians of Xuanda fell one after another under the front of the Houjin Iron Cavalry, which also fueled the arrogance of the Jurchens.

Yue Tuo looked at the two sons who were eager to try, and said with some frowns: "I don't know why, I always have some bad feelings as a father, and I am always worried that Ha Feng'a will suffer." In this way, the two of you will immediately mobilize 2,000 men and horses to support Hafeng'a, and you must eat that Ming army! ”

"Whoop...... The child obeys the commander of Amma! Luo Luohun and Kar Chuxu went out in a hurry.

Just when Yue Tuo dispatched troops to eat the Ming army on the opposite side. Yue Yang, the commander of the Ming army on the other side, also came into contact with the soldiers and horses of Houjin.

In the past two days, although the 1,000 cavalry led by Wu Chengfeng attacked everywhere and achieved good results, they did not reverse the current situation.

At midnight, when the night did not receive a report to the Jin Brigade in front of him, Yue Yang immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing, and the two thousand foot soldiers were divided into four square formations. The cavalry retracted and approached both sides to protect the infantry phalanx. The baggage team hastened into the center of the phalanx and prepared to meet the enemy.

Standing on a specially made two-meter-tall cart, Yue Yang stared ahead. At this time, Yue Yang could see the billowing dust and smoke and looming figures in front of him without a telescope, and they were approaching him with the sound of horses' hooves.

Behind Yueyang is a cowhide drum as big as a millstone on eight sides. Sixteen topless drummers were solemnly waiting for orders. Four phalanxes of infantry surrounded them, and these soldiers were standing motionless in a neat formation looking ahead, neatly arrayed, standing quietly on the flat ground. Everyone's expressions were stern, bayonets were like forests, and a murderous aura spread.

Many of these soldiers were recruits who had joined the army six months ago. After more than half a year of rigorous training, these peasants, who were originally just holding hoes, have now become qualified sergeants, and now is the time to really test the results of their training. On both sides of the phalanx, 2,000 cavalry were also lined up, and their task was to protect the two flanks of the phalanx.

The two phalanxes standing at the front were Feng Xiaoming's thousand-man team, and behind him stood a standard-bearer, who stood solemnly behind him with a red and white team flag.

The entire thousand-man squad was divided into two phalanxes, and none of the more than 1,000 people made a sound, and they were quietly waiting for the enemy to come.

Slowly, groups of Houjin soldiers appeared on Pingchuan and poured towards them, among them there were both infantry and cavalry, they were on foot and horse, and the army was neat, Feng Xiaoming estimated that there were at least 17,800 people.

And running in front of these infantry horses were a group of Houjin's outposts, these outpost rangers selected from elite vests let out a strange whistling, they shouted loudly in Jurchen language, and they couldn't stop letting out a terrifying scream.

This is also a characteristic of the Later Jin army's warfare, they are accustomed to use this way to tease or intimidate the enemy before the war, in order to achieve the purpose of weakening the enemy's fighting spirit and scaring the enemy, in the past years and the Ming army's battles, the Jurchens used this method to repeatedly succeed, some of the Ming army with weak fighting spirit was frightened by this strange cry without even fighting.

Soon, these sentinels came to the front of the Ming army, and after they were about four or five hundred paces away from the Ming army, they did not advance again, but kept roaming around, trying to find the flaws of the Ming army.

It's just that to their disappointment, even if they broke their throats, the Ming army in front of them did not show a trace of panic, and the Ming troops in the front two phalanxes still stood there without any sound, and some sharp-eyed detectives even saw the eyes of the Ming army in front of them with a sarcastic gaze, which made them feel like a clown shouting and screaming.

Seeing such a situation, a Houjin detective couldn't help but be angry. In the opinion of this detective, this kind of look should not appear in the eyes of those timid and cowardly Ming soldiers, and the brave and invincible Jurchen warriors were despised by those Ming troops, which is absolutely unforgivable.

So, the detective made a startling decision, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the spurs on his leather boots pierced into the body of the horses under his crotch, and the pain caused the horses to let out a long neigh, and the horses immediately galloped forward.

The sentry was on his horse, he fell to the ground, lay on his horse, and took out his longbow from his back and put it on the arrowhead, he wanted to teach the Ming army a lesson with his superb archery skills.

This sentry is a famous warrior in the Houjin army, he is extremely powerful, he uses a three-stone bow that ordinary people can't pull, can shoot through armor a hundred paces away, today he plans to use his bow and arrow to shoot a few Ming soldiers at this distance, and vent his evil spirit.

The actions of this sentry also made the two armies in front of the formation stunned, and the soldiers of the Ming army looked at this sentry as if they were looking at an idiot, and a mere person dared to attack the local phalanx, which was no longer called bravery, but an idiot.

In front of the Houjin formation, it was a different story, when the Jurchens, who had always admired personal bravery, saw that one of their own outposts dared to attack the enemy formation alone, almost everyone cheered, and they all looked at their warriors with fanatical eyes, expecting him to shoot the cowardly lambs in their eyes with the bow and arrow in their hands.

"Pimple pimple pimple ......" The rapid sound of horses' hooves resounded in front of the two armies, and the Houjin detective had already been prepared, and the arrows flashing with cold light had been pointed in front of the Ming army, just waiting to shoot out the arrows that represented death when they got closer.

Looking at the Ming army formation that was getting closer and closer, a smile had already appeared on his face, and he had already calculated the distance in his heart, as long as he waited a few more breaths, he could use the longbow in his hand to teach the Ming army on the opposite side a lesson.

Thinking of the Ming army on the opposite side being shot through the head or chest with his own arrows, the sentry couldn't help but have a hideous smile on his face.

He pulled the longbow hard, the sharp arrow was raised high, and he was about to release the finger that was clenching the arrow, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye saw a black light in the sunlight flying towards him with a lightning speed, and then he felt a piercing of his chest, and then the strength of his whole body seemed to be withdrawn in an instant, and the whole person was immediately plunged into darkness, and his body fell from the horse with a heavy crash.

More than a hundred steps away from this sentry, Wu Chengfeng, who was riding on a horse, was looking at the Houjin sentry who had fallen to the ground with a sneer, and a sneering look flashed through his eyes.

Wu Chengfeng slowly put away a crossbow gun with a flashing metallic luster in his hand and hung it behind him again. This is a powerful crossbow specially customized by Yue Yang from modern times, with pulley winding, effective range of two hundred steps, and equipped with a scope, this crossbow gun built with modern technology in this era is not an exaggeration to describe it as a treasure, Wu Chengfeng received this gift and cherished it as a treasure, and today he used this crossbow gun to shoot a Houjin Tartar.

As the Houjin detective was shot to the ground, there was a loud cheer in front of the originally silent Ming army.

"Daming Wansheng!"

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

This burst of cheers like a landslide and tsunami was so moving, and it also caused a slight commotion in front of Houjin's formation...... (To be continued......)
