It was 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, more than 400,000 Qing troops, including Lian Yong, had all passed through the Bali Bridge, and set up a simple camp on the north side of the Bali Bridge.

A wooden fence has been erected around the barracks.

Behind the wooden fence there is also a car wall made of a car and a side car.

The arrow tower inside the camp and the watchtower of the Chinese army have also been erected.

At this moment, Sony is standing on the watchtower with Suke Saha, He Luohui and other Eight Banner generals looking in the direction of Thirty Miles, although it is seven or eight miles away, but with the help of a telescope, you can still see a rough idea.

The Ming army did not build a fence like the Qing army, but was busy digging trenches.

In fact, the Qing army could also dig trenches and even build defensive platforms like the Ming army.

But in this way, the two sides will form a stalemate again, which the Qing army does not want to see.

"Haha, these cowards." He put down the telescope and said disdainfully, "Do you want to build another big camp in Thirty Miles?" I don't want to think about it, our Qing soldiers will give them time to repair the barracks? ”

Sukh Saha also turned to Soni and said, "General, give the order to attack." ”

"yes, why don't you attack now." He Luohui also said, "After a long time, the Ming army may have to start building the platform on the periphery of the camp, and it will be troublesome when the Ming army builds the platform." ”

For the defense of the Ming army's platform, He Luohui can be said to have more than one season.

Fei Yangwu, Lan Bai and other Eight Banner generals also persuaded Sony to give an order.

These Eight Banner generals all suffered losses in Xuzhou and Dagu.

Sony also knew how powerful the Ming army was, and he didn't want to drag it out any longer.

But before you go on the offensive, there's one thing you have to think about.

What kind of offensive formation is it? The arrow is missing, but the moon is in formation? Or do you put out a long snake formation like the Ming army in a-for-tat position, and then push it over?

At that moment, Sony asked the generals: "You say, why did the Ming army put up a long snake formation?" ”

"Presumably to give full play to the advantage of firepower." He Luo would fight with the Ming army many times, and he already had a certain understanding of the Ming army's firearms advantage, and then said, "The Ming army calls this a line array. ”

"The advantage of the ghost's firepower is comparable to the big bow of our Eight Banners warriors?"

The man who said this was a reckless man, and he had never been beaten by the Ming army's firearms on the battlefield.

"That's right, just concentrate your forces to raid the Ming army's Chinese army, as long as the Ming army's Chinese army is in chaos, the entire one-word long snake array will collapse in an instant, and our Qing soldiers will win."

The person who said this is quite knowledgeable, and knows the truth that the thief captures the king first.

"Agree, just hit the main formation of the Chinese army of the Ming army, the Mongolian cavalry will protect the two wings, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria will directly take the Chinese army of the Ming dog!"

The Eight Banners general who proposed this Jiannu was more thoughtful than the two just now, and he also thought of using the Mongolian cavalry to protect both flanks of the battlefield and win space for the surprise attack of the Eight Banners in Manchuria.

But Sony was not moved at all, although he did not participate in the Battle of the Hunhe River, he knew the beginning and end of the Battle of the Hunhe River as it was, and knew that the firearms of the Ming army were not what they used to be.

The Chinese army, which directly attacked the Ming army with the Eight Banners Manchuria, had a very slim chance of victory.

The final result can only be to use the most elite Eight Banners Manchuria as cannon fodder, which is absolutely not allowed.

Even if you want to raid the middle army of the Ming army, you must wait until the Ming army is exhausted, or when the artillery of the Ming army can no longer fire because of the heat and fever of the long-term battle, then the sending troops can be fatal with one blow.

Before stabbing the deadly sword, you only need to fight with the Ming army with their respective firearms.

At that moment, Sony issued a military order, and 110,000 Eight Banners Han Army and 40,000 Green Battalion soldiers set up a long snake formation from south to north with a frontal width similar to that of the Ming army.

Eight Banners Manchuria followed the Eight Banners Han Army and set up a formation, which could serve as the backing of the Eight Banners Han Army, and could also act as a supervisor to prevent the Eight Banners Han Army from retreating, and the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domains Mongolia were listed on the two flanks behind the Eight Banners Manchuria, and once the cavalry of the Ming Army tried to attack from the flanks, it would provide flank protection for the large array.

200,000 Lian Yong and Minfu are listed last.

The order was quickly passed on, and groups of armed Eight Banner Han soldiers and groups of green battalion soldiers pushed red-coated cannons, Fran machine guns, or camels leading their heads out of the camp and came to the wilderness to line up.

Along with the Eight Banners Han Army and the Green Battalion soldiers, there are also a large number of partial vans.

The Ming army has eliminated all the partial vans, but Jiannu has not been eliminated.

Immediately after the Eight Banners Han Army and the Green Battalion, it was the Eight Banners Manchuria pushing the cart.

Sony's Chinese army stays with the elite of the yellow flag and the yellow flag, and this part of the elite is also Sony's killer weapon, ready to leave it for the critical moment to stab the most deadly sword at the Chinese army of the Ming army.

The Sony Chinese Army also has a movable lookout that is carried by hundreds of practitioners.

……

At nearly 13 o'clock, more than 400,000 Qing troops finally lined up in formation.

Sonny came to the lookout surrounded by more than a dozen generals such as Suppilon and Sukh Saha.

The view on the lookout is extremely wide, not only can you see the entire large array of the Qing army, but also the large array of the Ming army six or seven miles ahead.

"Minggou still lacks experience in big battles." Sukh Saha said abruptly, "We didn't send out cavalry to attack just now, otherwise we wouldn't have formed a formation so quickly. ”

"I can't see it." Suppilon shook his head and said.

"The Ming army did not send cavalry to attack because they knew it was useless."

Sonny ignored the dispute between the two, and shouted in a deep voice: "Daxu herald, the whole army advances!" ”

One of the bayalas guarding Sonny's side immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Da Xu's order, the whole army advances!" ”

A few red-armored soldiers on the side of the lookout immediately put down Sony's "Dingguo General Flag" and pointed at the Ming army formation in front at a 45-degree oblique angle.

Almost at the same time, the sound of horns and war drums was also intertwined.

Accompanied by the continuous sound of horns and war drums, the Qing army began to move forward slowly with carts, side vans and various cannons, and the towering lookout was also carried by hundreds of Lian Yong on their shoulders and slowly moved forward.

……

The Chinese army of the Ming army also built a lookout with felled birch wood in the main formation.

Moreover, the height of this lookout of the Ming army is eight zhang, which is higher than that of Jiannu.

Therefore, the view of the Ming army lookout is better, and you can see the arrangement of troops on both sides more clearly.

"It seems that Jiannu is not stupid enough to go home." Jiang Tianyi pointed to the Jiannu Great Array that was slowly approaching in front of him, and said with a smile, "I actually know how to put out a long snake formation." ”

"Don't underestimate it." Wang Jiayan said, "Jiannu's learning ability is still very strong. ”

Jiang Tianyi said: "However, after all, Jiannu only learned the skin, not the essence, if they have learned the essence of the use of firearms, they should no longer carry the burden of chariots and partial vans." ”

Wang Jiayan asked: "Jiannu doesn't carry a chariot or a partial van, if you protect the infantry?" ”

Jiang Tianyi said: "Of course, it is a trench, and the protection of the trench is much stronger than that of the chariot and the partial van, and the chariot and the partial van can't even withstand the shelling of the camel artillery, let alone the mountain artillery and field artillery, but even if it is a 4-inch field gun, there is no way to take the infantry hiding in the trench." ”

Wang Jiayan said again: "Digging trenches can only be used for defense, how to attack?" ”

Jiang Tianyi said with a smile: "Wang Butang's words are wrong, trenches can also be used for attack, especially in Gyeonggi, where the terrain is flat and the soil is extremely soft, it is completely possible to dig trenches and advance forward." ”

Wang Jiayan was dumbfounded when he heard it, can he still fight like this in a war?

Jiang Tianyi also learned from wargame deduction by learning and selling.

Chongzhen used earthwork in a deduction, and Jiang Tianyi remembered it.

Chongzhen didn't laugh at Jiang Tianyi, but was carefully observing Jiannu's big array.

From the flags, costumes and weapons of Jiannu, we can roughly distinguish the types of troops.

This one-word long snake formation of the first team is the Eight Banners Han Army plus the artillery of the Green Battalion.

In the middle of the second team was Jiannu's Chinese army, and on the left and right were the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

The third team is cavalry, the left flank should be the Eight Banners Mongolia, and the right flank is the Outer Mongolia.

In the end, those who are disorganized and not in good formation should be Lian Yong and Minfu.

It's a pity that the number of cavalry is still not enough, and the only cavalry town should be used for the pursuit after defeating Jiannu, so it should not be rashly used to attack, otherwise, at this time, if the cavalry is used to attack Lian Yong behind Jiannu, there is a great chance to defeat Lian Yong, and then disrupt Jiannu's big array.

When this battle is over, a large cavalry must be formed.

Chongzhen was thinking about it, and Gao Qiqian suddenly shouted: "Long live the lord, look at the south!" ”

"What's wrong with the south?" Chongzhen turned to the south when he heard the sound, but he saw that billowing smoke and dust had been raised behind a birch forest on the south bank of the Tonghui River.

Wang Jiayan said in a deep voice: "Could it be the Jiannu reinforcements from Beijing?" ”

"That's not right." Jiang Tianyi, "What are the Jiannu reinforcements going to the south of the Huihe River?" ”

While the two were talking, a group of cavalry had already rushed out of the birch forest in the south, and one of them was carrying a large flag on his shoulder, and the flag seemed to be embroidered with words?

Chongzhen immediately raised the telescope and pointed at the flag.

I saw the word "Shun" embroidered on the flag.

"It's a puppet cavalry." Chongzhen immediately laughed.

"Li Zicheng's 30,000 cavalry also came to join in the fun."

"Is it the Puppet Cavalry?" Wang Jiayan's face changed slightly.

"Holy Lord, this is not a good thing for our army."

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Tianyi said, "If the puppet Shun cavalry wants to pass through the Tonghui River, they can only take the Bali Bridge, but now the Bali Bridge is behind the side of Jiannu, so the headache should be Jiannu." ”

"I'm afraid Jiannu won't have a headache about this." Chongzhen Road.

"A dozen tiger squat cannons plus a small amount of practice courage are enough to lock the Bali Bridge."

"Or directly blow up the Bali Bridge with gunpowder, and the puppet Shun cavalry can only watch the excitement across the Tonghui River."
