On October 25, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, three o'clock in the morning.

Xiong Wencan's face was pale, and he was almost about to lose all confidence when he looked at the noisy military camp.

Changyu City was originally stationed by the sergeants stationed in Juyong Pass and other places, although the location of the construction is very dangerous, but the main consideration is to facilitate the sergeants to fight directly in Juyong Pass, to resist the enemy outside the Great Wall, and did not think too much about dealing with the attack in the opposite direction, so this time in the face of the attack of the Houjin Tartars, there are not many dangerous terrain that can be relied on, of course, there is a solution, that is, the sergeants go directly to the Great Wall to resist the Houjin Tartars.

But Xiong Wencan will not make such a choice for the time being, once the army is all evacuated to the Great Wall, it means that the final way out for the army is only to evacuate in the direction of Yanqing Prefecture, once it is attacked by the Houjin Tartars, the fate of the 50,000 army will be extremely tragic, and it may even be annihilated.

Therefore, with the precipitous geographical location of Changyu City, desperately resisting the attack of the Houjin Tartars and preserving themselves may be the best choice.

Xiong Wencan thought so, and deployed it like this, but when he went to the barracks to check, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and in the noisy barracks, there were sergeants wandering around, not to mention that the sergeants were flustered, even the officers in command were pale and incoherent.

After asking a few officers, he didn't get anything, Xiong Wencang almost pulled out his knife, but in the end he still held back, but fortunately, the 30,000 troops under his command had made all the arrangements and were ready to meet the attack of the Golden Tartars.

Xiong Wencan's personal soldiers around him didn't have such a good temper, they saw the sergeant like a headless fly, unceremoniously raised the horse whip in his hand, the dull sound of the horse whip hitting the meat, and the continuous screams, finally made the sergeant barely quiet. Seeing that the commander himself had come to supervise the formation, these sergeants finally stopped scurrying around.

The officers above the guerrilla general level all came to Xiong Wencan, and these were all officers of Miyunwei and Yingzhouwei. Xiong Wencan looked at everyone, still speaking with a blue face.

"The battle is about to begin, and if the sergeant is not able to go to the position to resist the attack of the Houjin Tartars, Ben Shuai will start killing people, and Ben Shuai will not kill ordinary sergeants. Since you can't command the sergeants under your command to fight, so afraid of the Houjin Tartars, then the commander can only think that you will sooner or later ruin the morale of the army, or after surrendering to the Golden Tartar, Ben Shuai might as well take your head earlier. ”

After Xiong Wencan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the stunned crowd, and beat his horse and headed towards the front position.

After Xiong Wencan left. The sound of scolding appeared immediately, of course, it was all aimed at the sergeant, this is the time of life and death, the marshal wants to kill, no one wants to bump into the knife, these scoldings, it seems to be aimed at the sergeant, but in fact, it is not a tantrum at Xiong Wencan.

Xiong Wencan has already arrived at the position.

There were three defensive formations, the first of which was three miles away from the barracks, and here was a slow hillside. The army controlled the commanding heights and responded to the attack of the Houjin Tartars from a high position, and the second formation was two miles away from the first, where the outer walls and fences of the military camp were located. Sergeants could rely on the cover of walls and palisades to defend against the onslaught of the post-gold tartars.

The third line of defense is inside the barracks.

The arrangement of the sergeants was also well thought out, with 20,000 men on the first line of defense, 10,000 on the second line, and 20,000 on the third line. The 30,000 men under Xiong Wencan's command were in charge of the first and second lines of defense, and the sergeants of Miyunwei and Yingzhouwei were in charge of the third line of defense.

Xiong Wencan made such an arrangement and deployment, there is no way to do it, if the sergeants of Miyunwei and Yingzhouwei are allowed to join the first or second line of defense, it will definitely be more than enough to succeed, and it will even directly shake the hearts of the army, if these sergeants see the charging Houjin Tartar, they don't want to resist, but turn around and flee, I'm afraid that no one can stabilize such a situation.

In fact, Xiong Wencan did not count on the sergeants of Miyunwei and Yingzhouwei, he also knew that if he was not rescued for a long time, the first line of defense and the second line of defense would be broken sooner or later, and at that time, it was very likely that the whole army would be annihilated.

Xiong Wencan will be the most elite sergeants, all arranged in the first line of defense, what he values is the first line of defense, once this can effectively resist the attack of the Houjin Tartars, then the sergeants of the second line of defense will also be directly adjusted to the first line of defense, the Houjin Tartars are not demons, but also people, even if they are extremely brave, but it is impossible to be invulnerable, and it is impossible not to have the slightest fear.

A scout came to Xiong Wencan's front and clenched his fists in retaliation.

"Report, the enemy army is less than five miles away from here."

Xiong Wencan nodded, he knew that the scouts had an extraordinary ability to identify, some of them were able to put their ears on the ground, and through the sound waves from the ground tremors, they could discern how far the opponent was away, especially when scouting the cavalry, they could grasp it very accurately.

Three miles is the best distance for the cavalry to attack, after adjusting and running the war horse, can run two miles of land, to reach the maximum impact speed, if the two armies are opposed, such a charge speed and momentum, can instantly destroy the opponent, the opponent's formation is completely torn apart.

It seemed that the Houjin Tartars were about to attack, and although the sky was not yet fully light, the surrounding area was still cold.

Xiong Wencan clenched his fists tightly, his fists were all sweaty, he originally led the former army to reinforce Yanqing Prefecture, but he unexpectedly encountered the attack of Houjin Tartar, which shows that Houjin Tartar did not plan to attack Yanqing Prefecture City with all his strength for the time being, but spent his mind on the army that came to reinforce it.

The Battle of the Daling River was carried out in this way, and the imperial court was finally defeated.

But after all, this is Beizhili, could it be that the Houjin Tartars have your great confidence, aren't they afraid of being surrounded by heavy armies, and in the end there is no way out.

This is a kind of offensive domineering, with absolute self-confidence, to dare to make such a choice, this is in the pass, Houjin Tartar has no support, fighting alone, actually dare to put on such a posture, just imagine how much they despise their opponents.

Du Du charged at the front, and his own soldiers tightly surrounded him in the middle.

Du Du is the commander of the former army, if there is the slightest mistake, the army will be in a state of leaderlessness, and the system of the Eight Banners Army is strict, once the commander is killed, all the soldiers have no chance to live.

At this time, Du Du was full of energy, he was proud that he had grasped such a good opportunity, and he was also proud of being able to lead the warriors of the 50,000 Eight Banners Army to fight, not everyone has such an opportunity, since there is such an opportunity, it needs to be firmly grasped.

The tradition of the Eight Banners Army is that the commander charges at the forefront, even if it is the Prince of Huang Taijili, the Prince of Dai Shanrui, the Prince of Dolgonsu, the Prince of Dolgonsu, the Prince of Haoge, and the Prince of Zheng, all of them, in the face of fierce fighting and cruel games, no one is afraid of being injured and killed, it is a coincidence, after so many battles, everyone is good, and there is no chance of being injured.

The movement of the army is swift, and it is able to charge at the right moment.

The deployment of the Ming army, the scouts have been clearly investigated, what makes Du Du feel funny is that the scouts of the Ming army are timid and pitiful, after discovering the Eight Banners Army, they are desperately retreating, and they have no time to investigate the next move of the Eight Banners Army, which allows the scouts to calmly detect all the deployments of the Ming army.

The biggest feature of the Eight Banners Army is that it acts quickly, can charge in the fastest time, and the kung fu on horseback is very good, it can pull the bow and shoot arrows in the move, and after killing the opponent, it can be quickly transferred, so that the opponent has no way to attack, many times, the opponent has not had time to adjust the deployment, the Eight Banners Army has torn apart the opponent's defense line, so that the opponent's formation completely collapsed, and then the collapse of the whole army.

From Qingshankou to Tongzhou, to Changping Prefecture, Du Du did not encounter any decent resistance, the Ming army along the way was fleeing, those Ming troops who did not have time to escape, did not have the slightest fighting spirit, in the face of the fight of the Eight Banners warriors, only passively beaten and surrendered, Du Du believes that this attack is also the same.

In his heart, Du Du still hopes to have a happy fight, so that he can really stimulate the fighting spirit of the Eight Banners warriors, if he meets an opponent, he always keeps fleeing, and it will also make the soldiers of the Eight Banners slack off, thinking that the opponent is vulnerable.

When he was ten miles away from Changyu City, the scouts came to report, and Du Du ordered the army to continue to advance without slowing down.

When he was six miles away from Changyu City, the scout came again to report it.

Du Du pulled the reins, and it was only three miles away from the defensive position of the Ming army, which meant that this was the best position for the cavalry to charge.

Du Du turned his head to look at the army behind him, although the sky was not yet bright, he could feel the murderous aura.

There is still a quarter of an hour to go.

A cruel smile appeared on Du Du's face again, this time he didn't plan to discharge any special formation, the army attacked according to the mode of charging, pay attention to dodging the opponent's arrow rain and arquebus, as for the artillery, the scouts had already reconnoitred, and the reinforced Ming army did not carry artillery, perhaps the artillery was too heavy, which affected the speed of the new army of the army.

When the time finally came, Du Du pulled out the steel knife at his waist and raised it high.

The herald beside him quickly raised the yellow flag in his hand.

The rumbling drums sounded, accompanied by the charge of the war horses, and it was still Du Du who rushed to the front. To be continued
