"Bow and arrow ready!" Looking at the Mongolian army infantry that was getting closer and closer in front of him, Li Yuntian, who had a stern expression, gave an order in a deep voice, and three yellow signal flares screamed into the sky.

Seeing this, the archers and crossbowmen in front of the Ming army moved neatly diagonally upwards and raised the tips of their arrows towards the sky, preparing to send a rain of arrows full of death to the Mongol soldiers who rushed over.

At the same time, the Bald Polo and Darru and others looked at the charging Mongol infantry with stern expressions, and they knew very well that the Mongol infantry would usher in at least two rounds of arrow rain offensive from the Ming army before they could meet the Ming army's foot soldiers, and they did not know how many people would fall under these two rounds of arrow rain.

However, since the servants who rushed in front were all servants, the two did not feel much regret in their hearts, and in their opinion, it was the duty of the servant army to clear the way for the Mongol infantry.

"Put!"

A moment later, the Mongolian army's infantry entered the range of the Ming army's bows and arrows, Li Yuntian coldly spat out a word, and three red signal flares immediately shot into the sky, making an extremely sharp whistling sound along the way, which sounded a little chilling.

Although the time between the archers and crossbowmen preparing to shoot and Li Yuntian ordering the attack was very short, it was undoubtedly a long wait for the Ming soldiers on the battlefield who were waiting for the battle and were highly nervous.

As the three red signal flares rose into the air, countless arrows flew out of the Ming army's camp, covering the sky and the sun, and falling towards the Mongolian army that rushed over.

Originally, at the forefront of the servant army was the shield soldier holding the shield in his hand, who would be responsible for resisting the Ming army's arrow rain attack, but because the previous artillery bombardment of the servant army's formation had already been disrupted, the pikemen and other troops following behind were driven by the Mongolian infantry and the shield soldiers mixed together, and rushed to the Ming army's camp in a chaotic manner.

After seeing the dense arrows attacking from the air, the shield soldiers of the servant army bowed up and protected the shield in their hands on their heads, wanting to use the shield in their hands to avoid the rain of arrows falling from the sky, but under such a dense rain of arrows, a small shield can have much effect, and those parts of the body that cannot be protected by the shield may be hit by arrows at any time, and some arrows can even shoot through the shield.

As for the pikemen and other soldiers, they could only pray in horror in their hearts, hoping to avoid this round of arrow rain attack of the Ming army.

With the rain of arrows falling in the air, the screams and wails immediately resounded throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers who rushed in front of the servant army fell to a large extent, some were killed on the spot by the arrows, but many more fell to the ground and howled in pain.

No one paid attention to the wounded, the soldiers who followed behind took this opportunity to speed up their pace, stepping on those wounded and rushing towards the Ming camp, at this moment these soldiers had no choice but to charge forward, otherwise those Mongolian soldiers behind them would not hesitate to kill them, at least they had a chance to surrender after rushing into the camp of the Ming army.

Three green signal flares immediately rose from Li Yuntian's side, and in order to better command the whole army, Li Yuntian used signal flares that did not use different numbers and colors to convey his orders to the soldiers, and the three green signal flares were the signal for the Ming army infantry to launch a general attack.

"Kill!" The infantry of the Ming army, which was behind the archers and crossbowmen, suddenly burst out with a tsunami-like shouting and killing sound, and rushed towards the Mongol army in front of them with their weapons held high.

Almost at the same time, the Ming archers and crossbowmen launched a second round of arrow rain attack, and then turned and retreated in an orderly manner, and the dense rain of arrows once again caused many of the servant soldiers to fall on the way to the charge.

Unlike the Mongol army, among the infantry soldiers of the Ming army who launched the charge, the soldiers of the Xiaowu army were at the front, the Jurchen soldiers and the Mongol soldiers were in the center, and the Ming army of Liaodong was last.

The reason why Li Yuntian did this was not only to take into account the combat effectiveness of the Xiaowu Army, the Jurchen soldiers, the Mongol soldiers and the Liaodong Ming Army, but also to take into account the feelings of the Jurchen soldiers and the Mongol soldiers, although the combat effectiveness of the Jurchen soldiers and the Mongol soldiers was not much weaker than the Xiaowu Army, and although the Xiaowu Army was Li Yuntian's descendant, Li Yuntian did not want the Jurchen soldiers and the Mongol soldiers to feel that he was favoring them as cannon fodder for the charge, so he put the Xiaowu Army at the forefront as an example.

To tell the truth, Li Yuntian's move not only surprised the Mongolian generals and Jurchen leaders such as Halbara and Mengge Timur, but also puzzled the generals of the Ming army in Liaodong.

Although it seems that Li Yuntian seems to have suffered a lot of losses, in fact, he invisibly subdued those Mongol generals and Jurchen leaders, and what the Mongol generals and Jurchen leaders were most afraid of was that Li Yuntian used them as gunmen, and Li Yuntian told them with practical actions that he treated all his subordinates equally, so that those Mongol generals and Jurchen leaders could fight with peace of mind.

At the same time, Li Yuntian also wanted to let those Mongolian generals and Jurchen leaders know that the Ming army was not as weak as they thought, as long as the Ming stepped up its training, it would have a million brave troops like the Xiaowu army, not to mention the Northern Yuan at that time, even the Mongolian army during the Genghis Khan period was not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason is very simple, in front of the Daming musket battalion, the Mongolian army has lost the advantage of cavalry, and the bravery of the infantry of the Xiaowu army is not inferior to the Mongolian infantry soldiers, how can the Mongolian army defeat the Xiaowu army with sharp firearms?

Only by letting the Mongol generals and Jurchen leaders fear the Ming from their hearts, then they will really surrender, otherwise they will inevitably be half-hearted and go to Qin and Chu.

Soon, the infantry of the Xiaowu Army and the infantry of the servant army met head-on on the battlefield, and the soldiers wearing two different costumes were staggered together in an instant, and then countless servant soldiers fell down screaming.

In front of the morale-like and well-trained Xiaowu soldiers, the demoralized and warless servant soldiers did not have the slightest power to fight back, and completely became a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and were killed like tigers chopping melons and vegetables by the tiger-like Xiaowu army foot soldiers.

From the north gate tower of the Tiger Skin Camp Post City, he could clearly see the Ming army's front slowly advancing and gradually swallowing up the Mongolian army's front, which meant that the Mongolian army's foot soldiers were completely unable to compete with the Ming army's foot soldiers, and they were experiencing a bloody massacre.

Concerned about the fate of the servants, Polo was fixed on the Mongol infantry who followed him, and these Mongol infantry were the forces he relied on to fight the Ming army.

However, what made the general Vulture feel helpless was that the artillery of the Ming army chased the Mongolian infantry who were charging forward on the battlefield, and every shell would cause casualties among the Mongolian infantry soldiers, and many Mongolian infantry soldiers lost their lives under the shelling before they made contact with the Ming army.

At this moment, he regretted a little in his heart, he shouldn't have let Mu Du and Ancha take the four thousand Mongolian cavalry, if he had four thousand Mongolian cavalry in his hands at this time, then he would definitely not hesitate to let the four thousand Mongolian cavalry attack the Ming army's artillery camp position, take back the damn artillery or destroy it on the spot.

Li Yuntian quietly looked at the battle situation in front of him, now that he and the bald Polo's hole cards had been opened, the only thing he could do was to wait, waiting for the soldiers on both sides to divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield.

Different from the chagrin of the bald Polo, Li Yuntian's mood is very relaxed now, what he is most afraid of is the Mongolian cavalry, now the Mongolian cavalry has been suppressed by the Ming cavalry in front of the groves and hills, so the Ming army has the upper hand in the competition of foot soldiers, not only has an absolute advantage in strength, but also the soldiers are only strong and not weak.

The Mongol army had a total of 50,000 Mongol soldiers in the tiger skin camp post city, including 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers, in addition to the foot soldiers who stayed in the post city, the Mongolian foot soldiers who used the vultures on the battlefield should be around 15,000 people, he was full of confidence in this battle before, and planned to use the cavalry to break the Ming army's formation, so it was impossible to put in more foot soldiers.

The Ming army in Shenyang City had 20,000 Jurchen soldiers and 12,000 Mongol soldiers, including 7,000 Jurchen cavalry, 5,000 Mongol cavalry, and 20,000 Jurchen infantry and Mongolian infantry combined.

Among the 18,000 Xiaowu troops in Shenyang City, there are more than 9,000 musket battalions, spear battalions and guard troops arranged in the grove, plus more than 3,000 Li Yuntian's guards, so that the Xiaowu army invested in the frontal battlefield is about 6,000.

As for the 20,000 Liaodong Ming troops in Shenyang City, Zhao Yong led 10,000 people to Yunshan Town to set up an ambush, and 5,000 people defended Shenyang City, and the Liaodong Ming army that appeared on the battlefield was only about 5,000 people.

In this way, the Ming army could participate in the decisive battle on the battlefield with as many as 31,000 foot soldiers, twice the number of Mongolian foot soldiers, coupled with high morale, it was only a matter of time before those Mongolian foot soldiers were eliminated on the battlefield.

Under the brave fighting of the Xiaowu army, the infantry of the servant army soon collapsed and fled in all directions, causing the formation of the Mongol army to be in chaos.

It wasn't until the Mongolian infantry soldiers who followed behind came into contact with the Xiaowu army that the Mongolian army's position stabilized, and the sergeants of the Xiaowu army and the Mongolian infantry fought hard with their weapons.

Due to the close distance of the battle, the people of the Ming artillery battalion also seemed to be a lot more careful, in order to avoid accidentally injuring the Ming infantry soldiers, they deliberately aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the rear of the Mongolian infantry soldiers, and fired shells against time, otherwise once the warring sides were entangled together, the artillery battalion would be useless.

Although the resistance of the Mongol infantry was very tenacious and formed a stalemate with the sergeants of the Xiaowu army, when the Jurchen soldiers, Mongolian soldiers and the Ming army of Liaodong joined the battle group, the numerical advantage of the Ming army's infantry was immediately revealed, and often two or three people besieged a Mongolian infantry pawn, which made the Mongolian infantry gradually fall into a passive bitter battle, and the front moved back little by little under the suppression of the Ming army's infantry soldiers.

A look of disappointment couldn't help but appear on Polo's face, he originally thought that the Mongol infantry would be able to fight back and defeat the Ming infantry in one fell swoop, but the Mongolian infantry seemed a little powerless under the fierce attack of the Ming infantry in large numbers, which was definitely not a good sign.

In fact, Bald Polo knew very well in his heart that the biggest disadvantage of the Mongolian army's infantry compared with the Ming army's infantry was the lack of troops, and Li Yuntian's ability to achieve two big victories in Qingfeng Valley and Yinzhou City relied on the siege of the infantry soldiers, and the musket battalion was just icing on the cake, and it was obvious that Li Yuntian's infantry was not weaker than the Mongolian infantry in combat effectiveness.

When the Mongol cavalry unexpectedly fell into a predicament, he already had a premonition in the heart of the bald Polo that the shape was not good, but he had nothing to do about the battle situation in front of him, and he did not want to face the outcome of defeat, so he could only pin his hopes on the Mongol foot soldiers, which was a bit self-deceptive.
