Fighting a war is about strength, and after putting aside all conspiracies and calculations, the victory or defeat of the battle ultimately depends on strength.

In terms of command, Sun Chuanting did not have much of a problem, everything was decent, but the difference in the strength of his army was really far from that of the Eight Banners.

Sun Chuanting saw every intention of Huang Taiji very clearly, and knew what Huang Taiji's idea was, but he had to divide the troops according to Huang Taiji's intentions, otherwise, the left and right wings would be broken by the Eight Banners.

The result of the division of troops was that there was no longer any extra reserve troops in hand, and then when Jiannu tried his best to kill, he could only rely on the Chinese army to resist.

More than 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers, who had been recuperating for a long time, replaced the Han army's musketeers and killed the Ming army, and the Ming army's central army, which was beaten all at once, kept retreating.

At this time, Sun Chuanting couldn't do anything, there was no extra troops to support, and the only thing he could do was to beat the drum himself to boost morale.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The passionate drum sounded, the momentum was majestic, shaking the earth, listening to the ears of the Ming soldiers, I couldn't help but vibrate my heart with the drum, and the fighting spirit in my heart was involuntarily stimulated.

Many Liaoxi soldiers looked back and could see the figure of Inspector Sun struggling to beat the drum on the tall drum car.

Shuai is the courage of the three armies, and if there is a handsome like this, the three armies will naturally work hard. Although the combat power is not as good as the Jiannu Eight Banner soldiers, the Liaoxi soldiers are still fighting bravely.

However, in many cases, it is not enough to be brave in one heart.

Huang Taiji sent the elite of the three banners this time, as well as half of the eight banners of the guard camp, and the combat power is really strong. Although the Chinese army of the Ming army is also a relatively elite unit, it still cannot be compared with the elite of the Eight Banners, and they are a little tired after fighting with the Han army gunners for a long time.

As a result, not long after the fighting, the Chinese soldiers were beaten and retreated.

"Zhang Ben, you take the family to the team!" Seeing that the soldiers in front of him could no longer stand it, Zhang Cunren, the deputy general in charge of commanding the Chinese army, said in a deep voice.

"This, yes, Lord!" Zhang Ben hesitated for a moment, seeing that Zhang Cunren's expression was not good, he hurriedly agreed and rushed forward with three hundred family members.

Family, the generals are their personal cronies, supported by a generous salary, and their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary Ming soldiers, and has always been the biggest reliance of the generals. For many generals of the Ming Dynasty, the family in their hands was the greatest guarantee of their strength and status.

Generally speaking, until the critical moment, the generals are absolutely reluctant to fight hard with their families. Even at the critical juncture, many generals were reluctant, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they fled the battlefield with their families, thus defeating the entire campaign, which was very common in the late Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that the Chinese army was defeated by Jiannu, Zhang Cunren actually wanted to retreat and escape from the battlefield with his family, but he didn't dare. Because once he escapes from the battlefield, he will not say anything about the dismissal of the official, and his family members in Beijing will also be implicated. I have to say that after Sun Chuanting arrived in Liaoning, it was definitely a wonderful move to get all the families of Liaoxi generals to Beijing!

If you fight hard, your family will all be damaged, and you will die in battle, but you will be a glorious martyr, and your family members in Beijing will be compensated by the imperial court, and your son can get ahead. On the contrary, if he leads his family to escape, he will inevitably be ruined, not to mention, his family members will be implicated, and his children and grandchildren will never have a bright future!

The gains and losses are easy to calculate, and it is not difficult to make a choice. Many times, it is not many people who choose to betray, but the cost of betrayal is too low.

Zhang Cunren, another time and space also chose to betray the Ming Dynasty, and after following Jiannu, he became the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and became the military secretary of the Jiannu court. And in this life, he chose to fight to the death.

Three hundred families pressed up, and the situation eased down suddenly. These families are well-equipped, and their combat power is no less than that of the elite Eight Banners. And although it was a big battle of tens of thousands of people, there were not so many people in the head-to-head confrontation, and it was just the soldiers in the front row fighting each other.

The three hundred soldiers are all wearing heavy armor, their physical strength and combat skills are very strong, and they have always been paid more than twice as much as other soldiers, and it is the time to contribute, although their joining will not change the battlefield situation, but it is no problem to resist for a while.

Seeing that the situation eased slightly, Zhang Cunren did not breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart was still lifting, because he saw that from time to time, there were family members who were injured and died, and every family member here was his heart's blood!

Relying on the death battle of Zhang Cunren's family, the situation of the Chinese army was temporarily eased. However, at this moment, the left wing suddenly collapsed!

On the left flank, after Sun Chuanting sent two reserve troops in a row, relying on twice the strength, it was regarded as blocking Jiannu's attack. Liu Yingguo, the deputy general of the left wing, was also very brave and led his family to fight at the forefront.

However, he was too brave and was closely focused on by Jiannu, and Haoge, who commanded the operation, brought dozens of marksmen to snipe Liu Yingguo.

Dozens of feather arrows were shot at Liu Yingguo at the same time, and most of them were shielded by the family members around Liu Yingguo, but there were still several that shot at Liu Yingguo through the heavy shields. It doesn't matter if it is shot at other parts of the body, after all, Liu Yingguo is covered in thick armor and has no problem resisting feather arrows, so he will not be seriously injured. However, a feather arrow shot too accurately, passed through the gap between the shields, and hit Liu Yingguo's eyes, straight through his mind, and Liu Yingguo was killed on the spot.

As soon as the general in charge of the command died, the Ming army on the left flank was suddenly panicked, and Hauge personally charged with the white-armored guards and launched a fierce attack on the Ming army. Without the main general, where did the Ming army on the left flank still have the heart to resist, and it collapsed all at once.

One or two thousand Ming troops broke and fled, and a small part retreated to the Chinese army, thinking of relying on the Chinese army to regroup and fight again, while most of the Ming army fled regardless of the scattering.

In the Central Army Department, Sun Chuanting saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly passed down the order, ordering Zhao to lead the cavalry of his headquarters to attack, and contain Jiannu to give the Chinese army time to reorganize its defense.

After Zhao received the order, he immediately led the remaining thousand horsemen to attack and rushed towards the Haoge department. The fierce battle made these cavalry from Shanhaiguan also red-eyed, and at this moment no one thought about whether the extra war horses would be damaged, they all had only one thought, rushed over, entangled the serfs, and won time for the Chinese army to reorganize its defense.

More than 1,000 cavalrymen carrying the same number of horses, more than 2,000 war horses, and tens of thousands of horses' hooves stepped on the frozen snow and rushed towards the Jiannu on the left flank.

The Ming army that was fleeing saw countless war horses rushing towards them, and they were so frightened that they crawled, but Zhao Shujiao didn't pay attention to these routs at all, and he didn't care whether the cavalry would trample on his own people.

What Zhao Shujiao has to do now is to quickly increase the speed of the horse, so that it is possible to break through the queue of Jiannu.

In such a large-scale battle, Sun Chuanting knew that these more than 1,000 cavalry could not play a role, so he basically used them as sentry horses, and did not think about letting them fight. Therefore, in the battle just now, more than 1,000 cavalry dismounted and stayed in the Chinese army, watching the battle silently, watching hundreds of people rushing to the Ming army array under the drive of Jiannu, watching the Qinwang army of all roads being defeated by the people, and watching the Liaoxi soldiers withstand the impact of the people under the leadership of Sun Chuanting, and block the Jiannu army alone!

Zhao Shujiao is a real soldier, an iron-blooded soldier who is excited when he sees a battle, and they all say that what kind of general trains what kind of soldier, and these cavalry under him are similar to him. Maybe there are some small calculations in weekdays, but they are absolutely not cowardly in wartime.

Looking at the fierce battle, Zhao Shujiao and his cavalry had long held their breath, and now, it was finally time for them to fight.

The war horses stepped on the remnants of the snow, the cold wind was blowing, and more than a thousand iron horsemen closed their mouths tightly, urging the war horses under their crotches, and pounced towards the Jiannu Protector Army camp that had just broken through the Ming army on the left flank.

No one used the three-eyed firearm anymore, but invariably took out a long riding spear, the barrel of which was clamped in the armpit, and the sharp spear was pointed at Jiannu. On the opposite side was a Jiannu Protector in thick armor, and the three-eyed firearm was not as good as a riding gun.

The splitter hacked a recalcitrant Ming soldier to death, Hauge let out a sigh of relief, and as soon as he looked up, the Ming cavalry of the brigade galloped from a distance.

"Array!" Hauge immediately roared. The guards under him are all heavy infantry, but even the white-armored soldiers wearing three layers of armor can't collide with the high-speed galloping horses. In the face of the onslaught of the cavalry, the only way to resist is to line up!

There was no need for Hauge to roar, the other guards also discovered the Ming cavalry rushing in the distance, and they stopped chasing and killing the Ming army, and quickly began to gather, their spears pointed diagonally ahead, and their shields were quickly inserted into the snow. In a short period of time, the defensive array was actually arranged, although it was not very neat, which also reflected how well-trained these Jiannu protectors were!

Seeing this situation, Zhao Shujiao's face couldn't help but sink like water, facing the heavy infantry that formed an array defense, it was definitely not a good choice for the cavalry to directly charge into battle. If the cavalry under his command is heavy cavalry, it is fine, but his subordinates are all light cavalry, and the war horses have no horse armor at all......

Is it a direct impact or a bypass? Zhao Shujiao hesitated for a moment, and his eyes became firm.

It's all at this time, and there is no escape.

Rush!!

"Kill slaves!" Zhao led the cavalry spear to point at the Jiannu Protectors, and roared sharply, urging the war horse to speed up as he spoke.

However, at this moment, several war horses rushed out from behind his horse and rushed to his horse, causing Zhao to slow down the speed of the war horse.

"Chief soldier, let me take the lead for you!" A young Baihu turned around, smiled at Zhao Shujiao, and then pulled out a short knife and stabbed the hip of the war horse under his crotch.

Being deliberately pinched by several cavalrymen, Zhao Shujiao couldn't raise the speed of the horse at all, and could only watch as the hundred households named Ji Kai urged the war horses and crashed into the Jiannu queue first.

More and more cavalry surpassed Zhao Shujiao and followed Ji Kai's horse and launched a charge.

"Bastard, you dare to get ahead of Lao Tzu, bastard!" Zhao Shujiao scolded angrily, but his eyes were red.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, and the cavalry rushing to the front can already see the hideous faces of the Jiannu and the array of guns and knives pointing like a forest, but no one evades, and they all launched a decisive charge without hesitation.

The short knife was stuck in the horse's hip, and all the horses went crazy, and they only knew how to rush forward.

In the violent crash, the cavalry finally collided with the Jiannu infantry formation, and the first batch of cavalry, whether it was a war horse or a cavalry on a horse, had almost no chance of survival.

The horse that collided was almost instantly pierced into the chest of the horse by several spears, and died on the spot, and the cavalry on horseback was also thrown off the horse, and even if they did not fall to death, they would be killed by countless knives and guns.

However, every impact also brought a great impact to Jiannu, the speed of the war horse galloping at high speed, even the strong white armor soldiers could not resist head-on, every impact, there were white armor soldiers who were knocked to vomit blood and fell down, and their internal organs were smashed to pieces, and other white armor soldiers desperately filled the position.

One after another war horses crashed into the Jiannu queue, one cavalry after another died on the spot, and countless Ming cavalry, like moths fighting fire, launched a desperate sprint.

But after all, they are not moths with weak vitality, but sharp soldiers who dare to die in a hundred battles! After sacrificing a hundred horsemen, Jiannu's hastily laid defense line was finally knocked out of a gap, and the remaining cavalry rushed to the gap, tearing the gap bigger and bigger.

Zhao led the Pegasus to rush through the gap, stabbed a white-armored soldier through the thick armor with a mounted spear through the thick armor, released the barrel of the gun when the powerful shock force arrived, and pulled out the saber with his backhand and slashed towards the next Eight Banners.

However, the protector army is the protector army, the combat power and strong will to fight are by no means comparable to the ordinary army, after the hastily formed defense line was broken by the Ming cavalry, these guards were not nervous, but they took the weapons in their hands, gathered nearby, and killed the rushing Ming cavalry, and waved the swords and guns in their hands regardless of the rushing cavalry.

From time to time, the Jiannu guards were cut down, and from time to time, the cavalry horses were cut down and fell to the ground.

The battle instantly entered a white heat, and the cavalry of Zhao Shuojiao's department did not dare to stay entangled at all, but galloped on horseback, only waved the weapon in his hand towards the Jiannu in the way, and did not care to look at the slash, and did not dare to stop and lose speed at all.

A moment later, the cavalry of the Ming army rushed through the left flank of the Jiannu queue, stopping in the distance to regroup, and when Zhao Shujiao turned around to count, he found that he had lost at least more than two hundred. As for how many casualties were inflicted on Jiannu, no one knows. But Zhao Shujiao knew in his heart that at least for a short time, these thousands of Jiannu would not be able to attack the Chinese army.

Just when Zhao Shujiao was about to lead his subordinates to rush again, the ground shook, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, and a Jiannu cavalry in the distance rushed towards his side, seeing that the strength was at least twice as many as his own. Moreover, this cavalry is very fast, and his own soldiers have not yet completely assembled the team, if they attack the Jiannu Protector Barracks again, they are likely to be caught up before they reach the attack, and they will be explained here.

"Let's go!" Zhao Shujiao immediately broke off, gave up continuing to attack the Jiannu infantry, and withdrew to the northwest with his cavalry.

Get rid of this Jiannu cavalry first, and then kill the Jiannu infantry again, so that they will not attack the main force of the Chinese army. Zhao Shujiao knew what he should do at this time.
