Second, the surrender of the Eastern Mao Nulong Department was set, and the Tingxi Yuan Chonghuan Department was supervised by the Tingdong Governor, and the entire small Liaoshen land was left, leaving the Liaodong Governor's Mansion and Houjin.

The two are outstanding, and they can only settle down until they score a win.

Relying on its strong strength, the Liaodong Governorate simultaneously mobilized three theaters to participate in the Liaoshen battlefield. But Huang Taiji could only clench his fists and take the moves one by one.

This is obviously a disregard!

When the 100,000 troops of the second and third theaters of the Liaodong Army were approaching Shenyang, Huang Taiji was still on the bank of the Yalu River with the Liaodong Army in the first theater! I didn't know that the nest was already in danger!

Here, Huang Taiji sent harassment troops in order to hold back the Liaodong Army, but knowing that the Liaodong Army was under fierce artillery fire, Wei reduced the losses and only sent a few thousand cavalry. However, to attack the infantry artillery on such a scale is undoubtedly equivalent to death.

However, for the sake of his sneak attack plan, Huang Taiji endured. As the saying goes, if you can't give up a child, you can't catch a wolf, Huang Taiji is already angry at the departure of the Liaodong Army, especially when they forced down his Mongolian Four Banners and the Han Army's Left and Right Two Banners, which was the direct reason for his anger.

It was necessary to recapture this army before the Liaodong Army completely controlled the Mongol and Han armies, otherwise it would not only weaken the military power of the Later Jin, but also shake the stability of the Later Jin regime in the future.

Huang Taiji was at ease in his heart and warned him that he must fight this battle well, otherwise he would repeat the fiasco like Nurhachi.

For the Liaodong Army, Huang Taiji was always a little jealous, to be precise, afraid. This is mainly due to the fiasco of the Battle of Ningyuan and the Battle of Jinzhou. The Jurchen army, which has always been invincible, has been defeated one after another after facing the Liaodong army that suddenly appeared, from the general of the Great Khan to the common people of Shiling, and they have already left the shadow of fear of the Liaodong army in their hearts.

Just as the Jurchens caused great psychological fear to everyone in the Ming Empire in the past, the psychological shadow caused by the Liaodong Army to the Jurchens has been lingering.

Huang Taiji has been trying to remove this shadow and turn things around. But this shadow has been expanding, and now the four banners of the Mongolian army and the second banner of the Han army have all surrendered to them, which has made Huang Taiji see a huge threat.

The time had already entered five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had set very early in early winter, and the sky was rapidly darkening at this time, and the visual distance had rapidly dropped to four or five hundred meters.

"Great Khan!" Amin reported that "Azig and Mang Gurtai have erected pontoon bridges 90 miles upstream."

Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Tell them to cross the river immediately, and the pontoon bridge in the rear of the Liaodong Army has also been erected, and soon they will return to Yizhou!" Order the whole army to prepare for the charge, and be sure to delay them for another hour! ”

"Voila". Amin was ordered to leave.

Huang Taiji looked at the sun that had set in the east, and the light reflected through the clouds was getting fainter and fainter, and he knew that success or failure was here. Because the artillery and muskets that the Liaodong Army relies on will greatly reduce their combat power at night, which is basically equivalent to blind shooting, which is also one of the reasons why Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and waited.

Huang Taiji knew the weakness of the Liaodong army's firearms, and the Liaodong army itself was also very clear.

Xie Yi, commander of the 1st Marine Division, and Li Han, commander of the cavalry artillery, held urgent consultations. It was thought that it would be detrimental to the Liaodong Army if it was consumed like this, once it was night. The shooting accuracy of musketeers and artillery can be reduced to almost zero, not to mention the Jurchen cavalry, but because of the open flames generated by the fire of artillery and muskets at night, the deployment of their own forces will be exposed. The enemy is dark and I am clear, this is a taboo for soldiers.

At the same time, the existing parts of the Liaodong Army are hastily arranged in a short time, and in this kind of cold weather, the soldiers do not know when the Jurchen army will attack, so they must always be on the highest alert, which is quite energy-consuming and energy-consuming, if it continues to be consumed, the Liaodong Army will be frozen overnight, and will not be able to fight tomorrow.

The two glanced at each other, and either took the initiative to attack, or retreated to Jiangdong, and chose the opportunity to fight again tomorrow.

Li Han looked at the sky and sighed: "Seeing that it is getting dark, even if you take the initiative, there is not much time left."

"Then go back!" Xie Yi nodded and said, "Anyway, the pontoon bridge has been erected!" It's just that Huang Taiji won't let us go back safely, and I guess he is waiting for it to get dark to attack! ”

"Looks like we're going to have to plan smaller. Fool Huang Taiji! Li Han thought for a while and said: "It's better to arrange a wall of fire in front of the position, as long as the lights are bright, it doesn't need to be too far, and the distance of three hundred meters is enough for us to defend!" ”

Xie Yi said: "The cavalry is fast, your artillery is the slowest, you cross the river first!" ”

Li Han asked worriedly, "Without our artillery support, can you support it?"

Xie Yi pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry!" As long as you pass, even if we can't stand it, we can retreat directly on the warship! small

Li Han looked at the warships lined up in the middle of the river, they were not far from the shore, and the side of the ship was covered with wooden planks, so that the 1st Marine Division could easily board the ships and retreat.

"That's good". Li Han said, "Anyway, the Mongolian cavalry doesn't count on them, let them go now, if Huang Taiji launches a full-scale attack, after we beat them hard, as soon as the enemy retreats, we will immediately retreat quietly, so that you will have more time!" ”

Xie Yi thought for a while and said, "Then by the way, let the cavalry division also retreat!" This time, let the Marine Division take the lead! The two abandoned the discussion and reported directly to Liu Hu of the War Department, which was quickly approved.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Mongolian servant army of the Liaodong Army began to cross the river, and Huang Taiji hurriedly sent troops to attack when he saw this, but the artillery fire of the Liaodong Army was fierce, and the attacking troops lost seven or eight hundred horsemen and were repulsed after watching 30,000 Mongolian cavalry cross the river.

Ten pontoon bridges, 30,000 Mongolian cavalry passed in half an hour.

Subsequently, the Liaodong Army heavy cavalry one

Zhan Zengyong and the others were originally worried about the infantry artillery army leaving behind, but when they saw that the Huang Taiji army did not break through their defensive firepower network in the afternoon. Fang was ordered to cross the river.

By six o'clock, it was already dark. The Marine Division of the Liaodong Army planted torches and braziers all over the front of the position, and the distance of 200 meters in front of the position was brightly lit. And all the officers and men of the Marine Division also raised their hearts to their throats at this time.

Compared with the previous 20,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 Mongolian servant army cavalry, they felt very steady, and now the cavalry has withdrawn. Although they knew that it was nothing with or without cavalry assistance, they always felt a little nervous.

"Cheer up!"

"The enemy can't rush through!

Staff officers, non-commissioned officers, and supervisors at all levels are in front of their respective companies and defense positions. Keep walking back and forth, cheer up your subordinates, and stabilize the morale of the army.

Don't look at them just saying a few words of comfort, these words are all words of comfort, but they are very effective, and the tense atmosphere is suddenly diluted a lot by these words of comfort.

Because the artillery position of the Liaodong Army was on a small high ground, the sight of Huang Taiji's side was blocked by the bonfire position of the Liaodong Army, but he could not see the situation above clearly.

Huang Taiji knew that the guns of the Liaodong Army were fierce, and he was worried that the opponent's artillery troops would withdraw. While urging Azig and Mang Gurtai to make a detour to the rear of the Liaodong Army, they sent cavalry to continue to probe.

Xie Yi and Li Han had already set a trap, blatantly letting Huang Taiji see the cavalry of the Liaodong Army retreating, attracting Huang Taiji to launch a fierce attack. However, in order to fool Huang Taiji, Li Han ordered the two cavalry artillery positions in the north and south to be extinguished. In the face of the tentative cavalry sent by the Houjin army, the artillery positions were not firing, but only the infantry of the Marine Division fired a volley of guns.

A force of more than 2,000 Houjin cavalry came to Yuan and entered the artillery strike range with trepidation, but was not bombarded by the artillery of the Liaodong Army.

The cavalry reported back to Huang Taiji, who was suspicious and ordered the cavalry to continue the charge.

"Rush!"

A solid mountain led two thousand Houjin cavalry enlarged the courage to charge, a distance of several hundred meters. The Houjin cavalry came in an instant.

Here, Xie Yi waved his hand and ordered to prepare for battle.

"Ready to fight".

The order was issued, and the infantry position of the Marine Division, the soldiers in the first three platoons, in accordance with the orders of the non-commissioned officer, orderly launched a three-shot attack formation.

"Open the point!"

"Fire!"

The order was given, and the soldiers of the first platoon of the Marine Division immediately opened fire.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of muskets and the dull sound instantly drowned out the nervous heartbeat of the soldiers, and at the same time kicked off the prelude to the infantry battle.

This was the first time that the Jurchen cavalry had a direct battle with the marines of the Liaodong Army on the plain, and the musketeers had gathered in the city before, and the Jurchen cavalry could not reach it with dry glare. Now that the other party is close at hand, it only takes a dozen seconds for the war horse to rush into the enemy formation.

Gushan, who took the lead in the charge, was pleasantly surprised, he thought that the terrifying artillery units of the Liaodong Army had retreated, and the infantry of the Liaodong Army in front of him could only be slaughtered.

"Rush! They are out of artillery! Eager for meritorious service, he immediately ordered the whole army to attack at full speed.

Huang Taiji watched quietly from behind, although he knew in his heart that the Liaodong Army would definitely withdraw. But he knew that the other party would definitely have to play tricks before retreating. He was very worried about the 2,000 cavalry that rushed over, but in order to obtain a reliable and real deployment of the Liaodong Army, he had to sacrifice them.

"Great Khan!" Dai Shan said: "The Liaodong Army did not open artillery, but the musketeers were defending."

Huang Taiji didn't say anything, just nervously watched the changes in the battlefield.

I saw rows of fires flickering on the enemy's position, like flickering fire spirits. With the flickering of the fire, the figure of the musketeer was suddenly revealed, and was immediately enveloped by a long column of smoke from the musket, like a ghost in the darkness.

Whoosh!

The projectile flew by the ears of the Jurchen cavalry, and wherever it passed, people and horses were constantly shot, and suddenly the horses neighed, and the soldiers fell off their horses with screams.

The goal of the cavalry was very large, and the Liaodong Army arranged a large number of fire points on the position, and the brightly lit engagement area made the charging Jurchen cavalry have nowhere to hide, and suddenly became a live target for the musketeers of the Liaodong Army Marine Division.

When the large corps was fighting, the Liaodong Army arranged its troops according to the Spanish large phalanx, with nine platoons firing large columns in succession, and three platoons were replaced each time.

After the three platoons of muskets of the first echelon fired, they quickly retreated and prepared for the next fire. The three platoons of musketeers of the second echelon immediately went to the original positions of the first echelon and, under the command of the commander, stepped on the drum, methodically aimed, and then opened fire. After the shooting, the third echelon fires, and then when the third echelon shoots is over, the first echelon at the very beginning is ready and can continue shooting.

The three echelons rotated, firing at the enemy in an orderly manner, and with each round of guns, hundreds of enemies were killed and wounded.

At a distance of two hundred meters, it was the effective range of the Spanish Mushkert musket used by the Liaodong Army. Because the Spanish musket is a heavy and powerful musket, the projectile can effectively kill the enemy within 200 meters, and at a distance of 100 meters, most of the time it will shoot through the enemy and the horse, sometimes causing more than two cavalrymen to be shot through the body by a projectile at once.

For the Jurchen cavalry, if it was shot through by a projectile. If it is not critical, it is possible to survive, because the wound is scorched by hot marbles, and as long as it is treated in time, it will not be infected and die. But if the projectile remains in the body. Either self-harm or just wait for death.

Therefore, all the Jurchen cavalry who had experienced the war were very afraid of the firearms of the Ming army for fear of being injured. The old second soldiers, in the face of the bombs coming from all over the world, can be slandered outside the sky, and they are shaking and losing weight at a distance of more than 100 meters, and they are insurmountable for the Jurchen cavalry with superb equestrian skills, just like a line of life and death, and the past is lying down.

Bang bang bang!

The officers and men of the Marine Division of the Liaodong Army opened fire in an orderly manner, and the initial worries followed the power of the muskets. The enemy can't get close and fades away, and then turns into self-confidence.

"Don't be afraid! See! The enemy can't get up at all, as long as everyone takes out the state of their usual practice, it is enough to deal with the enemy! ”

Hooray!!

The soldiers shouted in unison. The more he fought, the more stable he became, and he got rid of the psychological fear of facing the cavalry of the brigade for the first time. At the same time, the marksmanship is becoming more and more accurate, the techniques are becoming more and more dexterous, and the lethality caused to the enemy is becoming more and more great.

All of them play as they usually practice, and even play extraordinarily.

When the night fell, rows of firelight flickered, and the projectiles drew streamers in the night. Harvesting each other's fragile lives.

"Rush!"

Gushan didn't believe in evil, and in a short distance of 100 meters, he couldn't rush over, and finally gritted his teeth and personally led the team to charge.

A volley of guns fired, and the projectiles whizzed by.

With a thud, a projectile struck Gushan's left shoulder. Then several more projectiles hit his body. Suddenly, Gu Shan only felt that his body was not obeying, and he was controlled by projectiles and danced wildly.

He only felt like a puppet being accused, he had been restrained by the dense projectiles, and he only felt that life was worse than death.

There was a crisp sound, and a projectile hit his helmet head-on. The projectile from the high-speed impact instantly pierced the helmet and shot into his head. Gushan only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was immediately relieved.

Gushan's corpse fell under the horse, and in an instant it was drowned under the roaring iron hooves, and passed away with the smoke and dust.

The closer they got to the front, the Jurchen cavalry was suppressed by the dense rain of musket projectiles, and suffered heavy casualties, while the musketeers of the Liaodong Army still placed their guns in an orderly manner.

They were close at hand, but they couldn't go up and kill them, which really made the Houjin cavalry jump like thunder.

Bang bang bang!

In the dark night, rows of tongues of fire spewed out, and each time they were excited, they produced a column of white smoke more than one meter long, and the thick smell of sulfur and nitrate instantly filled the nearby air.

With each rotation, the Marine Division of the Liaodong Army as a whole took a few steps backwards. It is not that they are afraid of the other side, but they are creating smoke bombs for the other side, causing signs that the artillery on the position has retreated.

But after the last Houjin cavalry was killed, Xiao fired another volley of guns, killing several lonely horses waiting for their masters in the middle of the battlefield.

"The enemy seems to be retreating!"

Fan Wencheng observed slightly, and saw that when the infantry of the Liaodong Army was on the defensive, the overall formation was retreating.

Sure enough, Huang Taiji was shocked when he heard this, and said: "They are retreating, which means that the opponent's artillery must have withdrawn first!" ”

"Charge the whole army!"

Huang Taiji realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered the whole army to charge.

Suddenly, the Houjin army poured out, and the cavalry swarmed out, shouting and rushing to the position of the Liaodong Army.

Here, Xie Yi sneered: "If you use a little trick, they will be fooled!" ”

Li Han nodded and said, "Huang Taiji is already upset!" Then he waved at the herald.

The Whispering Officer will understand. The flag waved.

"Get into position!"

With the wave of the flag, the hidden artillerymen quickly pushed the artillery back to its original position, and the process of loading propellants, primers, and shells was completed in one go, and they appeared to be very skillful.

"One shot!"

"The second cannon is good!"

"Shoot flares!"

The order was given, and only a cannon was heard, and a cannon with an inclination of 75 degrees fired a shell into the air.

This is not a real shell, but a large salute.

As an artillery expert, Na Haonan has long considered the problem that night firearms combat will suffer a lot. This main barrier is caused by not having enough visibility at night.

However, it was obviously impossible to build a searchlight in the Ming Dynasty. However, Deng Haonan thought of flares through guò signals. Unfortunately, the flares use high-purity phosphorus, as well as substances such as magnesium, which can emit white light. These things are easy to find mineral deposits in the land of Liaodong, but they are very difficult to refine.

And the cost of a flare fired by the artillery into the air is as high as 500 taels of silver, even if Deng Haonan has money, he can't afford to use it.

Therefore, the cavalry artillery of the Liaodong Army was only equipped with less than 20 flares, which was impossible to use all night. But. It's still quite effective to use it once in a while.

The flares exploded in the air, instantly illuminating the entire land, and the location of the Houjin cavalry was unobstructed.

Just when the Houjin cavalry was looking at the huge salute flowers in the air one by one, the artillery of the Liaodong Army had already begun to adjust the firing coordinates.

"Bearing, left and right. Distance armor. rice, plus or minus fields. Shoot high old, high and low 3. ”

"Grenade shotshots, five rounds of rapid fire ready!"

"Ready to fire!"

The artillery commander's flag fell, and at the same time the snorting sound of the smoke of the medicine sounded.

There was a real bang, and the first field artillery spewed tongues of fire. Smoke erupted, and grenades weighing 18 kilograms shot out.

Knock knock!

The artillery fired a volley, and in an instant the sound was like thunder. The wind and clouds change color as a result. The mountains shook, and the plants trembled.

Watching the streamers shoot into the air, the Houjin cavalry who were charging with all their strength were stunned.

The air on the battlefield suddenly froze! If you want to know what will happen next, please log on to D
