"Not so fast! I'm going to have to stay in the pro-soldier team for a while. Zhao Dang replied with a smile.

"Then I'll call you an adult when I see you in the future."

"Brother Cheng! Bury me. Besides, I'm all the soldiers you've led. Zhao Dang smiled and said politely, "I have a life, I'll go first." In fact, Brother Cheng also has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions today, and I am waiting for you in the pro-soldier team. Wansheng! ”

"Wan Sheng!" The surrounding soldiers also shouted in unison.

It wasn't until he had walked a distance that Zhao Dang introduced to the team members behind him: "When I joined the army, I was led by Brother Cheng, he cared about me very much, he was my old boss." ”

At the same time, Wu Shigong was wearing armor with the help of the guards. This armor is specially made by the Workshop Division, and its whole body is shining with silver-white light, and the armor pieces are also polished quite well with each other, and the joints are also quite flexible, which is particularly beautiful. It's just that it's more troublesome to wear, and you need help from others.

Wu Shigong, who was wrapped in layers of things, was already sweating a little. He complained: "The spring is cold! The spring is cold! Why is this spring so hot? ”

"Your Excellency!" Chi Ming said with a smile on the side, "The little one walked around the tent just now, and it was still quite cold outside. And it's still quite gloomy today, so it's not a good day. Maybe the adults are wearing too much, so please bear with me! ”

"O you! As if he was afraid that I would be hurt, he wanted to wrap me in iron. The cotton armor inside is worn in two layers, is it necessary? With your protection, I am not in any danger. Wu Shigong said with a smile.

Chi Ming and the others "grinned" and laughed, and they didn't tell the difference, still wearing armor for Wu Shigong. It wasn't until he finished wearing that Zuihou put on a big red cloak for Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong walked a few steps with his armor on his head, and muttered, "It's too heavy!" Hearing Chi Ming, they were chuckling. Wu Shigong joked again: "People are going crazy today, but they have to endure hardship." Chi Ming and the others couldn't hold back any longer, and a burst of cheerful laughter sounded in the tent.

"How's going on over there with the Tartars?" Wu Shigong asked again.

Chi Ming immediately put away his smile and immediately announced: "The outpost has returned, and smoke has risen in the Tartar camp, and they will definitely go out of the camp to fight today." ”

"That's fine! Let's make a break with the Tartars today! After finishing speaking, Wu Shigong took the lead in walking out of the big tent.

Although the sky has brightened, the sky is still covered by thick clouds. The humidity in the air was very high, and even though it was early spring, everyone and horses felt slimy.

The Runing army and the Qing army marched in opposite directions and approached the battlefield. Both armies constantly sent out scout cavalry to spy each other's marches from afar. also constantly drove away the opponent's scouts. However, at this time, there were very few battles between scouts and cavalry, often one side dodged, and the other side stopped chasing, maybe this is the calm before the big battle!

At this point, there is no need for any trickery. The two sides are nothing more than setting up their jiashi and engaging in a battle of hard bridges and hard horses. So let's honestly go to the battlefield and line up!

The atmosphere during the march was rather dreary. The formation also took a long time. However, relatively speaking, the Qing army moved faster. This is also the advantage of having more cavalry, which can quickly deploy troops.

However, the movements of the Runing army were not slow, and the long-term queue training made the deployment of the Runing army also orderly, without any disorder, and did not give the Qing army any opportunity to launch a surprise attack while its troops were not fully deployed.

However, at this time, the psychological advantage of the Qing army was even more obvious. The number of people is superior. twenty-three thousand against sixteen thousand; The geographical advantage of the battlefield is that it is an open field, which is conducive to cavalry charges; The formation also spread out faster than the Runing army. So the Qing army was also a little eager to try.

"Lord Wang! Do you want to send some sons to tease the Ming army? Tuberi asked Dolgon.

Tuberi's purpose was to send some cavalry of the Qing army to the front of the two armies to show off their strength and challenge, and interfere with the development of the Runing army's formation.

If the Runing army is really messed up by these provocative Qing troops. The Qing army was just right for the whole army to follow up on the attack. The great victory that came to the door like this is not in vain.

If the Runing Army can stabilize its position, then it is best to tease the cavalry of the Runing Army. If this skirmish can be won in front of the two armies, it will also be very beneficial to the morale of the Qing army. It can also further consume some of the cavalry of the Runing Army, and after the official battle between the two armies, the gap in the number of cavalry between the two sides will be even greater. From the beginning to the end, Tubery never imagined that the Qing army would be defeated in this guerrilla fight.

Dolgon frowned and remained silent, as if he hadn't heard Tubery's question. Tubery waited quietly for a while, and as he was familiar with Dolgon's temper, he knew that Dolgon had acquiesced, so he immediately nodded to the captain of the personal army in front of him.

At a whistle, more than 200 cavalry of the Qing army immediately rushed to the front of the formation. These are all carefully selected from the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners, and they have strong fighting ability on their own horses, and they began to make provocative moves constantly.

Some Qing cavalry began to harness their horses and perform acrobatic movements that can only be seen in modern circuses; Some brandished knives and kept screaming at the army formation of the Runing Army; Some made insulting gestures to attract the cavalry of the Runing army, while the cheers of the Qing army resounded in the sky, constantly cheering for their warriors.

But at this time, the Ru Ning army's formation maintained an eerie tranquility. Under the reprimand of the officers, the soldiers of the Runing Army were still standing in a position quickly, and the cavalry on both sides of the column also watched the Qing army juggling in front of the formation, and there was no intention of going out to fight with the Qing army at all.

At first, watching the performance of his bannermen, Dolgon also had a smile on his face, but looking at the reaction of the Runing Army, he immediately became serious. Because Dorgon saw the demeanor of a strong army, and that was discipline!

"Where did this Ming army come from?" Dorgon asked.

"Back to the prince! Look at the banner is Runing General Soldier - Wu! , it should be the Ming army in the interior of Henan! Tubery replied.

"The surname Wu? I've never heard of it! The surrounding Qing army generals immediately "chattered" and discussed.

Dolgon was also very strange, and the Manchu spies in Guannai never introduced this Ming army. That is, Wu Shigong has been suppressed by the imperial court, and he has been in Taoguang, so the reputation of Wu Shigong and Ru Ningjun has not been obvious in the outside world.

"Lord Wang! Could this Ming army be a showmanship? And lo and behold! The line they lined up was like a ruler that had been measured, and it took so much effort to practice this, maybe the sword and horse kung fu was not very strong. Tuberi said.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Dorgon immediately scolded, "It's almost time to fight, you are still so light on the enemy, if you say this again, be careful that this king whips you!" ”

In fact, Dolgon had already judged that the combat effectiveness of the Runing Army must not be underestimated. If you just look at the strangulation battle, you can barely say that the spies of the Runing Army are all elites, so it explains the reason why the spies of the Runing Army are brave in battle, but the entire army is not necessarily so strong.

However, the subsequent change of direction took Dorgon by surprise. This kind of movement to change direction places high demands on the discipline and organization of the troops. In particular, the night march and the long rapid march showed that this Ming army was well-trained and had abundant physical strength.

When he saw this Ming army taking the initiative to meet the battle today, and maintained a stable mentality under the teasing of the Qing army, Dolgon knew that he was about to face a tough battle. There is no fluke in the battle array, and an army with such psychological quality must have extremely strong confidence in the combat effectiveness of its own troops. But does the commander of this Ming army really think that he can defeat his own national athletes?

Dolgon couldn't help but sneer, thinking that the commander of the Ming army on the other side must be wishful thinking. How many famous generals and heroes of the Ming Kingdom have fallen under the sword of the Qing army, is it not a Ming army in the interior that is not a border army, still trying to block their road to victory?

At this time, Dorgon's own soldiers also rode towards the wings. The spread of tens of thousands of troops is quite wide, and the commander of the first army cannot see the situation on the most edge of the two sides at all, so such a scout is needed to observe the situation on both sides of the enemy.

Soon, there were pro-soldiers who returned as scouts, and they first reported back the number of soldiers in the Runing Army. In fact, the number of the Runing army is quite good, today's Runing army is to place two infantry associations in front and back, and the three infantry regiments of each association are exactly placed on the left, center, and right three roads, forming a two-by-three, six thousand people phalanx, and the cavalry association plus a cavalry battalion is divided into two teams to guard both sides of the phalanx.

The artillery association was placed in the passage between the front and rear two concords and the three-way phalanx, and it was not yet placed in front of the formation for the time being. The Chinese army after the fall was 1,500 of Wu Shigong's personal troops and 1,500 of Li Lu's troops.

However, as more and more news came back from both sides, Dolgon suddenly learned that on the hill on the east side, there was an ambush of a Ming army.

This made Dolgon's heart "chuckle", but he didn't expect that the Ming army on the opposite side had already prepared and had already taken the first step to limit his attack from the east. However, Dolgon thought about it, his army still had an absolute advantage, even if he only attacked from the center and the west, he could completely defeat the Ming army in front of him.

Dolgon slowly straightened his waist, looking at the formation of the Runing Army in the distance, and also at the front of the formation, his own sons and daughters were constantly calling for battle.

Dolgon's heart was full of pride: "You want to fight! Then fight! Let's just take a look at the thunderous blow of this king. ”

The clouds on the battlefield seemed to immediately thicken, and the two armies were like two fierce beasts ready to strike at once. It was a confrontation between a lion and a lion, and the battlefield was about to burst out with the most brilliant sparks of battle. (To be continued......)
