Dorgon is calm on the surface, but restless on the inside. And Xue Yongli is also calm on the surface, but he is restless inside. In the face of the upcoming national war, both managers are a little nervous.

However, it will take a long time for an army of more than 100,000 to be in battle formation. However, the two armies patiently arranged their own troops, and did not harass the enemy's formations. Even the pre-battle provocation between cavalry and squad cavalry, which was common before the battle, did not appear. It's decided to decide to win or lose today, so the two managers are not interested in playing some tricks.

But while waiting, a few Qing soldiers came from the direction of Shanhaiguan. They sent an urgent message to Dolgon. Dolgon opened it and looked at it, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. Then he loudly announced to the Qing generals around him: "Sony, they are fighting well!" The troops of Wu Wei who rescued the two cities of Liaodong were repulsed. You all have to fight well, don't let Sony show them off in front of you! ”

"Good!" The good news came before the war, which really bodes well. As a result, a burst of cheers immediately erupted under the banner of the Chinese military commander.

Dolgon still smiled at the cheers of his generals, and he shoved the urgent message into his bosom. The urgent report was indeed sent by Sony. However, the content is not the good news that Dolgon said, but only a report: Sony's scouts and Pegasus's scouts have met and may be about to go to war with Pegasus. Of course, Sonny sent an urgent message, that is, he asked Dorgon to send more reinforcements.

But when he received this urgent report, Dorgon was much more relieved. He thinks he seems to understand why. It turned out to be in order to hold back the main force of the Qing army. Don't let Dolgon send troops to support the Sony Ministry, so that the Daping Army will be so uncharacteristically defensive and offensive. And after understanding this reason, Dorgon's heart was also relieved. It's better to have results than to speculate.

Again. Now because Shanhaiguan is in the hands of the Qing army, the Qing army is actually fighting on the inside line. As long as the main force of the Daping Army in front of them was repulsed, the Qing army could easily pass through Shanhaiguan to support the Sony Division. You can even seize the flaws in the offensive of the Daping Army and make a final decision on the first battle. Of course, the current Dolgon's most hopeful for Abatai's forces to appear.

The reason why Dorgon hid it from the generals around him just now was because the Sony Ministry had just made contact with Pegasus Town, and there was no battle report at all. Why should Zorgon distract his generals? Everything is focused on the decisive battle in front of us.

It's interesting. Before the decisive battle began, Dorgon pinned his hopes of victory on the threat of the Abatai tribe to the rear of the Dahei army; And Xue Yongli pinned his hope for victory on the Han army's counter-water and the arrival of reinforcements. Both coaches did not know the situation in other theaters because of poor information. They also pinned their hopes on off-the-board moves outside the battlefield.

On the other hand. Dolgon and Xue Yongli also had some little confidence in their army to win in today's decisive battle with their own strength.

"Master! How to fight? Seeing that both sides were nearing the end of their formation, Tubery asked Dorgon.

"Just follow the old routine of the other day. Let the Han army flag in front rush first. Dorgon replied.

Dolgon is the constant for all changes. To make Xue Yongli on the opposite side have a false impression, it seems that the Qing army did not notice anything unusual about the Daping Army at all, which attracted Xue Yongli to make a mistake in command.

With Dolgon's order, more than 20,000 Han troops at the front of the Qing army, under the cover of the front row of carriages, slowly pressed towards the main formation of the Daping army.

The current Qing army also has experience in fighting against the Daping army. Therefore, their carriages were also relatively scattered, and they would not concentrate on the artillery of the Daping army. And they also completely abandoned the tactics of cavalry charges. It is to restrain the firearms of the Daping Army. So in the beginning, it was pawn against pawn.

And seeing that the Qing army still maintained the normal state of attacking first, Xue Yongli couldn't help but let out a "huh".

The 100,000-strong army left camp early. There was no way to hide it, and Xue Yongli didn't think about hiding it. But according to Xue Yongli's understanding, the tactics of the Qing army will definitely make corresponding changes. Unexpectedly, the current Qing army is still the same, which makes Xue Yongli have a lot of doubts.

Could it be that the Qing army has discovered that there is a Han army mutiny? Could it be that the Qing army wants to come up with a general? Could it be that there is an accident that I don't know about the way? Question marks appeared in Xue Yongli's mind.

However, the Qing army has already attacked first according to the old routine, so the Daping army will give up the strong attack and defend first according to the old routine! So Xue Yongli made a gesture and asked the troops to defend first. Then the soldiers immediately ran along the passage to the front troops, passing Xue Yongli's orders everywhere.

The rest of the battle was like a repeat of the previous day. The first to strike was still the artillery of the Daping Army. However, the Qing army's carriages were scattered, and the artillery could not be fired in a concentrated manner. Therefore, although the shells destroyed a lot of carriages, such losses were still within the tolerance range of the Qing army. Moreover, with the cover of the oars, long-range firepower such as firecrackers and swarms of bees have no shooting effect. So the Daping Army simply did not use these firepower.

By the time the Qing army's carts approached, the phalanx of the Daping army had already lined up a spear array. After the Qing army behind the cart rushed out, they immediately threw a large number of javelins and throwing axes at the Daping army, trying to disrupt the spear formation of the Daping army.

However, under the cover of the free fire of the musketeers, the spear formation of the Daping army began to assassinate forward, and the number of casualties on both sides gradually increased. However, after fighting for a long time, seeing that the formation of the Daping army was still intact, the Qing army began to sing gold, so the Qing soldiers who fought also dragged the cart back to their own formation.

Originally, according to the old routine, the Qing army should have withdrawn its troops after several times of the same battle and ended the day's fighting. But the next battle was off track.

Seeing the retreat of the Qing army, Xue Yongli also immediately ordered: "The ten regiments in the front row maintain a phalanx and move forward at the speed of the review. “

The speed of the Daping Army's review is equivalent to modern time, that is, about 70 or 80 steps a minute. So the drummers of each regiment beat the war drums, and the ten phalanxes of ten regiments in the front row also marched forward to the beat of the drums.

Seeing that the ten phalanxes of the Daping Army were all holding up their spears and marching forward in a uniform pace, some Qing soldiers who did not know the inside story of the Dao were wide-eyed, and it was difficult to accept the sudden change in the tactics of the Daping Army for a while.

And Tuberi and others, who knew that there might be any abnormal movements in the Daping Army, all pointed to the phalanx of the Daping Army and shouted excitedly: "Come here!" They attacked! (To be continued......)
