The moment the city gate was opened and the drawbridge was lowered, the Jin soldiers, who had been waiting for the impatience, cheered: the timid Ming barbarians couldn't be provoked after all, they were fooled, fooled!

Shideba Alfoni rushed to Niu Lu Ezhen Donoyi's side and shouted excitedly: "Lord Ezhen, the barbarian has come out, the barbarian has really come out!" ”

Young Niu Lu Ezhen Donoi is a little too young, and next month will be his eighteenth birthday. Although his Ama is the eight ministers valued by the Khan, being able to become Niu Lu Ezhen is not the light of Amma, but relying on his real ability.

In terms of immediate kung fu, looking at the Dajin country, Donoi believes that there are only a handful of people who are stronger than him; In terms of courage, Donoi was even more confident, thinking that when he was only fifteen years old, he dared to follow the Khan King to conquer the Mongols, and in the first battle, he personally cut off seven Mongol heads, and was praised by the Khan as "My golden young hero!" ”

At the age of sixteen, he led a bull lu alone, and this kind of promotion is comparable to that of Dolgon, Duoyi, and those young Baylors, who else is stronger than his own?

The artist is bold and a young man, so Donoyi didn't take the Ming army in the city in his eyes at all, and only then did he hear the "non-war general" of the Ming people in the city say that he would come out for a while, so he smiled at that time and said to the left and right: "You say, do I really want to accept the Ming general who does not fight as my own coat?" If he really meant that, I'd have some trouble asking me Amma. Otherwise, his old man will know that I am good at receiving the coats of the Ming Kingdom, and I am afraid that he will scold me for doing nothing. ”

Left and right listened to Niu Lu's words, and they all laughed, secretly saying that their own Ezhen is still too young, and sometimes their ideas are a little naïve.

On the opposite side, the Ming army rode out of the city, the number of people was small, but the banner was dazzling, and it was impossible to tell which part of the Ming army this was.

Seeing that the Ming army was all cavalry and no infantry went out of the city, he reminded Donoyi: "Lord Ezhen, the Ming barbarians are cavalry, should we get on the horse?" ”

"What horse?"

Donoi Ha Luha smiled and said to the left and right: "King Khan often taught us that there are many people in the Ming Kingdom, and we can't kill them all, but we have few Dajin people, and one less is the loss of one point of strength, so to fight against the Ming people, we have to give full play to the strengths of our Eight Banners warriors, and use our own strengths to attack the weaknesses of the other!" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Lange with a smile and asked him, "Lange, what do you say are the strengths of our Eight Banner Warriors?" ”

"Needless to say, it's naturally our riding and archery kung fu!" Lange blurted out without thinking.

Donoyi nodded, raised his hand and pointed at the Ming army who was slowly approaching on the opposite side, and said contemptuously: "These Ming barbarians don't even have armor, why should we fight them right away, just shoot them with our big arrows!" Pass the order to go down and put the Ming army closer before shooting! I'm going to tell these Ming barbarians to die before they reach within a hundred paces!" ”

Left and right hurriedly said: "Chir! ”

………

At the head of the city, everyone looked at Jin Jun nervously. Zheng Guo saw that the Jin army was lined up and did not get on the horse to prepare to charge, a little strange, and said to Qiu Hejia: "My lord, the Jin army doesn't seem to be afraid of General Shi?" ”

Qiu Hejia also noticed that the Jin army did not get on the horse, but faced the enemy in an infantry formation, groaned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Jiannu has many cavalry, and is good at riding and shooting. Whether it's right away or right down, it's better than us. They did not mount their horses because they wanted to shoot Shi Dayong with their big arrows. ”

Zheng Guo was taken aback: "Most of the subordinates see that General Shi's men and horses don't have armor, if they rush up, won't they become a live target for Jiannu?" ”

"Shi Dayong is betting on the two hundred heavily armored cavalry, and the people in front are only afraid..." Qiu Hejia didn't say more, he already understood the tactics adopted by Shi Dayong, this method of play is completely to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, but thinking about it, Shi Dayong has no other choice, if he can have thousands of men and horses in his hands, why use such suicidal tactics.

Zheng Guoyan sighed and said: "My lord, in fact, my subordinates have always felt that it is not difficult to deal with Jiannu's cavalry, as long as our army marches into a spear phalanx, with a forest of spears, and is equipped with bird guns, Jiannu will not be able to do anything to us." ”

Hearing his words, Qiu Hejia turned his head to look at him, shook his head, and said: "Back then, Tang Li Cunmao once led the army to fight against the Khitan, and one of his generals at that time said that the Khitan has more cavalry, and I have more infantry, if the plain meets, and the enemy gallops through our formation with 10,000 horses, I will be annihilated." Ben Fu asked you, doesn't that general know that he can order the infantry to organize a spear formation to restrain the Khitan cavalry? If the spear array can really restrain the cavalry, why have our Han people been suppressed by foreign races for thousands of years? The Mongols even won my Han family? ”

"This—" Zheng Guo was stunned, unable to answer the question.

Qiu Hejia had the heart to instruct Zheng Guo, so that he could lead the army alone in the future, at this time, with more knowledge, he would be able to share more skills in the future, so he patiently explained to him: "Although the spear formation can restrain the cavalry, it can also be easily broken through, because the spear is protected, there is always only one front, but the enemy has no obligation to attack you from the front, and they can also attack you from both sides." In the past wars, the army of our Han people has been defeated on these two flanks, the reason is that they cannot take care of each other, so no matter how you form the formation, but only not cavalry, the enemy can easily choose whether to fight or not, where to fight, and how to fight.

Even if we don't fight, we can't intercept it, so we can only let them go. And the enemy can wait for the opportunity to fight again, this battle and not the initiative of the war is not in my hands, passive response to the enemy, is how to be vigilant, Baimi also has a sparse, and a big war often determines the fortune of the dynasty, so the infantry is not as fast as the cavalry, and can not take the initiative to fight, that is, no matter how powerful the formation is, the nose is also held by others, how can it not be defeated? ”

"My subordinates have been taught." Zheng Guo was embarrassed in his heart, ashamed of his ignorance.

Qiu Hejia sighed: "Actually, what we lack in Daming is not infantry, nor is it an infantry formation, but a lack of cavalry. Over the past dynasties, our Central Plains Dynasty has been riding prosperously, and it has been subdued; If the ride is not prosperous, the Central Plains Dynasty will fall into the hands of foreign Yi. It can be seen that this cavalry is the foundation of the dynasty, but unfortunately, my Ming cavalry is weak, which allows Jiannu to make waves in Liaodong. If I have 100,000 iron horsemen in my hands, I am afraid that this Jiannu will have already disappeared! Why is there today's trouble! ”

"Since cavalry is the foundation, why don't you go to the court to form cavalry?" Zheng Guo was a little puzzled.

Qiu Hejia smiled bitterly: "Sun Jing has been poor for ten years, but he has trained more than 10,000 Liaodong cavalry, that's all, it is all about exhausting the treasury, I have the heart to train cavalry again, but where does this money come from?" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Guo's heart moved, hesitated, and said boldly: "My lord, there is a sentence, my subordinates don't know whether to say it?" ”

Qiu Hejia raised his hand lightly: "You and I have a deep affection for our master and servant, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

With permission, Zheng Guofang said: "Sun Jingluo has trained this Liaodong iron cavalry, in the eyes of his subordinates, it is not powerful, and it is not a defeat in every battle, so it can be seen that my Ming Dynasty is a cavalry who has trained more, and it seems that he is not the opponent of Jiannu?" ”

"Hmph, it's not that the cavalry is useless, it's that the Liaodong army is incompetent!"

Zheng Guo's words made Qiu Hejia a nameless fire swell up in his heart, clenched his fists and said hatefully: "If everyone is as brave as Shi Dayong, so not afraid of death, so regardless of personal fame and fortune, how can they not win!" After speaking, his hateful gaze went straight to Wu Xiang and the others in the distance.

Seeing this, Zheng Guo hurriedly persuaded: "Adults dissipate their anger, don't be angry with these people who are greedy for life and afraid of death." Seeing that Shi Dayong's soldiers and horses had already launched a charge, he hurriedly shouted: "Rush up!" ”

"Oh!"

Qiu Hejia hurriedly turned his eyes to look at the city, and when he saw it, he gasped, but when he saw that the arrows of the Jin army were raining down, the Liaodong cavalry that rushed to the front fell down in an instant.
