Wolf smoke and beacon fire are signals such as emergency military information and warnings in this era, everyone knows that the Phoenix Legion is burning wolf smoke in the camp, I don't know what information I want to transmit, Hong Chengchou's main army is more than ten days away from here, the distance is far away, it is impossible to see, but if someone is lurking nearby, it is difficult to say, which is also the reason why Huang Taiji's face changed suddenly, because he smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.

"Send people to search the area of four hundred miles on the left and right wings, no matter who it is, all of them will be escorted back, and those who do not obey will be killed!"

Huang Taiji thought of a certain possibility, murderously issued a killing order, at this moment, he still couldn't guess the real purpose of the Ming army, but the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, but at this point, he could only play according to his own rhythm, and then depending on the change of the situation, fortunately, it was to fight at home, the time and place were favorable, as long as it was dealt with properly, it should be able to win in theory.

"Attack."

The Khan's order was issued, and the tribal warriors of the first attack echelon urged their mounts, brandished their weapons, and roared to launch the first wave of attacks on the camp of the Phoenix Legion, and the first battle under the personal command of the Great Khan Emperor Taiji officially began.

This is not a feint, but a real attack, but in order to avoid too many losses, the attack will not be too strong, the purpose is to contain part of the Phoenix Legion's troops, divide and break it, this is a killing move on the surface, he doesn't believe that Lu Hongniang still dares to defend the camp after being intercepted and cut off the water, she only has two choices, either withdraw immediately, or go upstream, breaking the embankment and opening the stream.

Of course, there is a third option, that is, surrender, he still has a scene in his heart where Lu Hongniang surrendered to him, Chongzhen's favored concubine, he must have spoiled a few times, and dyed Chongzhen's crown green, however, YY to YY, he guessed that Lu Hongniang would choose the second one.

The sound of iron hooves rumbled, the ground shook the mountains, the roar of killing shook, the dense tribal knights were charging on horseback, the artillery of the Phoenix Legion took the lead in firing, and dozens of Franc machine guns fired a burst of cannonballs, exploding a cloud of fire and billowing gunpowder smoke in the dense cavalry.

After more than ten days of tossing back and forth, the artillerymen had already measured the distance of the ruler, as soon as the tribal cavalry entered the marked distance, they were immediately subjected to the precise blow of artillery fire, the whistling shells blew up the tribal knights within the killing range, and the shrapnel fired everywhere shot down into pieces of people and war horses, and the roaring explosion was mixed with the painful neighing of the war horses and the miserable howls of people.

After the tribal knights rushed through the death blockade constructed by the Franco's cannon, they quickly rushed into the range of the muskets, and the musketeers, who had already set up a shooting formation, pulled the trigger under the command of the officer, and fired rows of dense bullets to shoot down the tribal knights who rushed madly in pieces, and the battle began.

Huang Taiji's guess was very correct, Lu Hongniang was gathering the team, preparing to kill the camp, along the river to the north, upstream, to defeat the intercepted Jin army, break the embankment and open the stream, and solve the serious problem of water cutoff.

"Soldiers, the Jin army has filled the embankment and wants to kill us with thirst, what do you say?" Lu Hongniang, who was dressed in a strong suit, stood on the high platform, facing the dense soldiers and spoke loudly, this is her pre-war general mobilization, unlike the general commander, she did not say tall and beautiful words, but told the truth, so that all soldiers understand the current predicament and let them make a choice.

"Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death!" The soldiers in the camp raised their arms and roared, and thousands of voices converged, overpowering the roaring and killing sound of the Jin army outside the camp and the rumbling gunfire, and pierced the sky.

"Okay, I won't say more nonsense, if you want to go home alive, you can only fight bravely and hold on until the reinforcements arrive, and the commander will take you out to battle and set off." The sword in Lu Hongniang's hand pointed to the north and loudly gave the order to go out.

Zhu Jian is not very familiar with the establishment of the modern army, but based on the movies and television he has seen and the copycats of military magazines, all the new armies after the expansion are not very reasonable in terms of establishment, but it does not matter, the establishment of each expanded division is almost four regiments, each regiment has 2,500 men, each regiment has five battalions, and each battalion has 500 men, and then there are company platoon squads, artillery battalions are directly under divisions, and guard companies, guard platoons, reconnaissance companies, reconnaissance platoons, and reconnaissance platoons directly under divisions and regiments are all separate small formations, and there is also a logistics regiment of 2,000 people. In short, it's still a bit chaotic, and it depends on the ability of the division commanders to make up the rate.

Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion is 12,000 people, and the actual personnel are about 14,000 people, plus Zhu Jian is worried about her safety, and she is transferred to 3,000 elite white pole soldiers.

The second and fourth regiments were responsible for guarding the barracks, taking turns to go into battle, and fighting against the Jin army attacking the barracks, commanded by Du Yunfeng, the commander of the first regiment, with Lin Qing, the military division, as his deputy, and Dou Dayong's third regiment as a reserve, which could go out of the camp to reinforce and respond at any time.

The soldiers of the first regiment poured out of the barracks amid the rumbling guns and the earth-shattering roar of killing, lined up in a defensive phalanx on the flat ground, and then slowly advanced forward, stopped before advancing into the trench, 200 logistics auxiliaries jumped down the trench, erected a wooden bridge, and a group of soldiers passed in an orderly manner, and then lined up to guard against the surprise attack of the Jin army.

The first regiment from the camp to cross the trench, lined up the defensive phalanx, the movement was slow, but orderly, did not give the Jin army a chance to sneak attack, the front of the battle Huang Taiji saw clearly, and couldn't help but sigh that Lu Hongniang commanded the troops in a good way, he did not order the attack, let the soldiers of the first regiment calmly out of the camp, slowly advancing towards the north.

The plan to lure the enemy out of the camp was very successful, and now it depends on whether the battle of siege and annihilation can be carried out smoothly, so he did not rush to order the siege of the first regiment led by Lu Hongniang himself, the farther the first regiment is lured, the greater the probability of successful annihilation, he has a lot of time, and what he looks forward to the most is that Lu Hongniang personally leads the troops out of the camp, which makes him greatly admired, and he has already thought about it, if he captures Lu Hongniang alive, he will definitely pamper her, make her a concubine, and let her train an elite musketeer for Dajin.

Huang Taiji's heart is indeed full of expectations, in terms of courage and fearlessness, the warriors under his command crush the Mingren, all they lack is sophisticated muskets, artillery and ammunition, of course, they also need to carry out some systematic training, which depends on his favorite concubine Lu Hongniang, who is about to be recruited, hehe.

Different from Huang Taiji's obscene thoughts, those Baylor and the patriarchs have very practical thoughts in their hearts, just in the era of Yiyin's fine muskets and artillery, the era of the weak and the strong, whoever has the most strength in his hands has the qualifications to speak, even if he doesn't want to be the leading brother, but he also has the strength to protect himself, and the fine musket and artillery are more precious than gold, and money can't buy them.

In the barracks of the Phoenix Legion, Du Yunfeng, Dou Dayong, Lin Qing and other soldiers all had serious expressions, their waists were straight, and they saluted and watched the soldiers of the first regiment out of the camp, they all knew in their hearts that the first regiment as a bait would face what vicious battles and dangers they would face, it could be described as nine deaths, but this is the strategic intention formulated by the above, no matter how dangerous it is, someone has to carry it out, no one can be more weighty and tempting than Lu Hongniang, so that Huang Taiji can rest assured and boldly bite the hook.
