In 1633 A.D., in 1853 of the First Emperor's calendar, the Later Jin Dynasty took advantage of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty to mobilize 50,000 elites to invade the south.

Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty issued the "Edict of the War of the Chinese State", raising 20,000 troops, that is, two divisions, to the north to support Liaodong, which was deployed by the veteran general Sun Chengzong. The two division commanders were Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou fought with the army as the chief of the general staff.

Since Shanxi was captured, Hong Chengchou was embarrassed to say that he was capable, and the most important thing was that his soldiers were all extinguished, and he couldn't get up.

Before, as a deputy general, under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, after the reorganization, he asked to end his military post and return to civilian work. However, now the civilian position of the Ming Dynasty is full, and Hong Chengchou's military literacy is beyond doubt. Therefore, after Li Luoti yì and Chongzhen's approval, Hong Chengchou became the chief of the general staff, which can be regarded as a military civilian system. But in terms of rights, he is second only to Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, and can be regarded as the third person.

Even at the critical moment, even the two had to obey Hong Chengchou's strategic deployment.

"You're the three most famous generals who have risen recently?" Sun Chengzong saw these three rookies for the first time, so he naturally wanted to be close and close.

He is not young anymore, maybe he will drive the crane to the west in the past two years, and the safety of the Ming Dynasty in the future will still be handed over to these descendants in the end. The generals on the Liaodong side also belong to the middle-aged and elderly era, and they also need to be supplemented by rising stars. After spending 100,000 taels of silver in Daming, Man Gui redeemed it in Daqin, and he was in the prime of life, but he could also fight for more than 20 years; Wu Sangui, the son of Wu Xiang on the Liaodong side, is also a rare talent, so they are waiting for them to grow up slowly.

This time, only 30,000 people actually entered the battle, which was set by Sun Chengzong from the beginning.

Other generals do not directly fight against the outside world, and the key is to stick to a few important strongholds and not let Houjin take advantage of the loopholes, as long as they hold these points, it is a great achievement!

As for the several troops that went out, among them, the 15,000-man fire force led by Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, the 5,000 artillery unit led by Sun Chuanting of the family, and finally the 10,000 Guanning iron cavalry led by Wu Sangui.

Nowadays, the Guanning Iron Cavalry is basically equipped with a riding gun, and it is a long and a short one. It is long in the initial charge and is used as a deterrent and to suppress the enemy. Immediately use the wheel of the short gun to shoot the enemy's living combat strength, of course, the first target is the opponent's military generals. When the last six bullets were gone, he pulled out his saber at his waist and made a final battle.

In fact, if well deployed, this combat mode can disrupt the opponent's military deployment as quickly as possible, and even kill several major generals if you are lucky. If it was Huang Taiji who led the team, he would not be able to destroy the thief directly. No matter what the outcome is, seven bullets for 10,000 people, that's 70,000 bullets, and even if Lang costs 90%, then 7,000 people will die. Moreover, on the battlefield, Houjin adopts the old-style army model, with dense troop formations, and in this case, if he really hits 10%, Wu Sangui can be removed, and Yan Zòng is fully qualified to take it down.

"Uncle, you have to remember that the mode of war has changed, and if you can't adapt to the new era, then you will have to be eliminated by this era. I'm old, my head can't turn around, and it's very difficult to learn, so I'm only in the middle and don't interfere in your war. I hope that before you set out on the expedition, you promised me to bring back a great victory for the Ming Dynasty! Before Sun Chengzong set out on the expedition, he called Wu Sangui to his tent alone.

"Lao Shuai rest assured, during this time, the young general is also constantly studying the works of the pseudo-Qin. Although he has no practical experience, he will never be a person who follows the old ways. Wu Sangui first said modestly to appease Sun Chengzong, "Don't worry, the old man is not in his eyes." Please rest assured that there will be good news coming back soon! ”

"Well, act boldly, be careful, and be like this for the general!" Sun Chengzong smiled and finally reminded him.

Wu Sangui was naturally humbly taught, and after a few more polite words, he said goodbye and left. He saw that Sun Chengzong had said a few words, and he was already tired.

This is not surprising, Sun Chengzong is 70 years old this year, which is already a rare year. Moreover, the bitter cold of Liaodong is the most torturous to the body and bones, and it is not easy for him to support it until now. As a military general transferred from a literati, Sun Chengzong was recognized by the soldiers of Liaodong, and he also paid a lot of price.

The next day, the large forces had been assembled, and the artillery was mainly made of imitation Napoleonic guns and imitation mortars. As for the Furlong cannon and the Hongyi cannon, they were not brought, just because they could only use solid bullets, and their practicality was not as good as the previous two. It only makes sense when it's a siege.

In order to win this battle, Li Luo did everything possible to buy enough shells from Zhang Hongbin at 150% price, all of which were primitive flowering shells. Since then, there have been new shells, and this kind of shells are also in the scope of processing, but for hostile forces, it is naturally impossible to give a discount, and the additional 50% is still in the name of the national war, otherwise it will only be sold at the price of 250% of the Houjin.

It has to be said that this kind of flowering bomb is very popular, and not only the forces in the south are vying to buy it first, but even Houjin and some neighboring countries have also bought some back. After all, a shell that can cause a certain range of casualties with a single shot is of great value in both research and practical value.

The whole army went north, and the daily journey did not exceed thirty miles. After all, many of the soldiers are from central China, and they are still a little uncomfortable with the cold of Liaodong, even if it is the beginning of summer. Therefore, it is necessary to let them move little by little and slowly adapt to the climate here, otherwise it will affect their combat effectiveness when they fight.

Houjin has no scruples, after all, they themselves live in such an environment.

But even then, they walked sixty miles a day. After all, behind them, there were more than 200 cannons coming with the army, many of them were Furlong cannons, and a few were red-coat cannons. Each artillery piece has enough flowering shells, which Huang Taiji bought from Zhang Hongbin at a great cost. But it doesn't matter, as long as you succeed in going south and enter Beijing, you will have money, and its meaning is not even bought by money!

The two sides eventually met near Dalinghe City, or rather, the scouts of the two sides met.

It's still a familiar battlefield, and it's still a familiar atmosphere.

The 50,000 army of the Later Jin Dynasty and the 30,000 army of the Ming Dynasty launched a battle here that changed the history of world wars.

What they don't know is that after this battle, China will be the first to enter the era of thermal weapons, far ahead of the world!

And, forever leading, always being chased, but never surpassed!!
