"Guangning came to report that Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi led 20,000 troops to set off at three o'clock on the first day of June, and it was less than one hundred and fifty miles away from Shenyang."

"Kuandian came to report that Sun Yingyuan, the chief soldier of Tianjin, Qi Yuangong and Qi Yuanfu led tens of thousands of troops to the north on the fourth day of June, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xingjing, the number of soldiers and horses is unknown, and the enemy army marched 60 miles a day, less than 200 miles away from Xingjing."

"Liaoyang came to report, Liaoyang general soldier Qi Jin, led 12,000 Zhejiang soldiers to the north on the third day of June, and has now arrived at Wang Datun, defeated our army's Tang cavalry, less than 100 miles away from Shenyang, and Huangtai Jibeile led the white flag south."

"Qingheguan came to report that it was besieged last night, and Yulin Wei General Man Gui led more than 10,000 iron cavalry to attack! The leader of the Tubarian Zai Race volunteered to lead the headquarters of 2,000 horsemen as the forward. ”

“……”

Dead silence, for a while, it seems to be another battle of Sarhu, but the difference is that after the last time, Jin could use his familiarity with the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain to intersperse, and fight the time difference to annihilate the enemy army.

But this time, the Ming army was divided into four routes, but they fought against the Houjin on the Liaodong Plain, which they were familiar with.

An army of 100,000 came and it seemed that the two sides were evenly matched, but Nurhachi could gather all his forces to attack one place.

Many generals also thought so, and Mang Gurtai even got up directly and said:

"The Ming army still dares to divide its troops, and now we can use the last way to annihilate them one by one!"

"No way!" Nurha's mouth suddenly refused:

"This time is different from the last time, Mang Gurtai, as a general, you have to analyze the situation!"

After that, Nurhachi said with a calm gaze:

"Last time, we broke the Ming army one by one, and the scope was very small, and there was enough time to surprise attack the four."

"But this time, from Qingheguan to Taizi River, a total of 300 li, and from Taizi River to Kuandian 500 li."

"The span is too big, and among the four people, Kuandian is the closest to Xingjing."

"They marched sixty miles in one day, and they could reach Xingjing in four days at most......"

"Dai Shan!" Nurhachi looked at Daishan, and then ordered:

"You and Yue Tuo bring the two red flags back to Xingjing!"

"Khan Amma, will the two red flags not be enough?" Dai Shan's face was a little ugly, after all, Sun Yingyuan led 60,000 troops to Liaodong this time, and now he led his troops to attack, the number of soldiers and horses is not too small, and Hetuara pulled out 5,000 men at most.

With the addition of two red flags, it is only 20,000 people.

If Sun Yingyuan's department has enough artillery, then it will be difficult for Hetuara to hold it.

However, as soon as his question came out, Nurhachi sneered:

"Sun Yingyuan's department seems to have a lot of people, but in fact it is just a bait, and he wants to encircle Wei and save Zhao."

Nurhachi is not a fool, he easily knows that Sun Yingyuan's department is a cover.

However, after he explained, Dai Shan said: "Although it is to save Zhao from Wei and Wei, if there are too few people to help, will Sun Yingyuan really attack Xingjing?" ”

"It's not impossible, but even so, if you take 20,000 people to hold on, it's enough to hold on until I come back." Nurhachi's eyes were calm:

"He wants to surround Wei to save Zhao, then I will at least eat one of its men and horses and harvest the grain and grass of Shenyang!"

"Mang Gurtai! You and Amin continue to besiege Shenyang City with two blue flags and Han soldier auxiliaries, and two thousand Mongols from Engdel, while Han soldier auxiliaries in other places harvest grain. ”

"I will personally take the two yellow flags and two white flags to the south and eat the 12,000 people of Qi Jin!"

When the generals heard this, they immediately felt a horror in their hearts.

Two yellow flags and two white flags, a total of one hundred and five oxen, a total of thirty-one thousand five hundred people.

The fact that so many people went south is enough to show that the Great Khan attaches great importance to Qi Jin.

They were terrified, and after Nurhachi gave the order, they began to move their troops and horses.

Dai Shan and Yue Tuo were the most urgent, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses of the two red flags and rushed towards Xingjing.

After waiting all night, Nurhachi went south with two yellow flags early the next morning, preparing to join forces with Huang Taiji and Du Du to encircle and suppress the Zhejiang soldiers.

Such a transfer naturally could not be concealed from Qin Bangping and the others in Shenyang City, and they found out that something was wrong early the next morning, just because the Houjin camp outside the city had less than half of the cooking smoke.

"Look at the posture of this cooking smoke, it seems that most of the soldiers and horses in the camp have gone."

He Shixian said excitedly, and Qin Bangping knew when he heard it that this was He Shixian's idea of robbing the camp again.

He did not respond, but looked carefully, and after observation, he spoke:

"Looking at the posture of this cooking smoke, there should be thirty or forty thousand people in the camp, but I don't know if it's a real prisoner or a Han pawn."

"Chief Qin, let me take three thousand iron horsemen out to test it!"

He Shixian couldn't help but speak, but Qin Bangping said, "No! There are only 3,000 cavalry of yours in the city, and if there is a loss, there will be no hope of breaking through after that. ”

"Maybe reinforcements are coming!" He Shixian said anxiously: "Otherwise, Jianyu would not have sent so many soldiers and horses out of the camp." ”

"Look again." Qin Bangping still didn't want to take the risk, because his duty was to guard Shenyang.

Seeing that he insisted, He Shixian could only go down the city tower in frustration.

However, while they were still deliberating, Nurhachi led his soldiers and horses south, and successfully joined Huang Taiji and Du Du at Hupiyi.

"Where are Qi Jin's men and horses!"

Looking at Huang Taiji and Du Du, who led the soldiers and horses north and rode their horses in front of him, Nurhachi asked, and Du Du was the first to speak:

"I have crossed the Nansha River and are rushing to the Beisha River, less than sixty miles away from here!"

"Good! Then wait for him here! Hearing that Qi Jin had crossed the Beisha River, Nurhachi waved his hand and decided to wait for Qi Jin on the north bank of the Beisha River.

But at this time, Huang Taiji spoke: "Khan Ama, my Tang cavalry saw Qi Jin's men and horses, they don't look like soldiers and horses that can be attacked by Bandu. ”

"Don't cross the river halfway, let him cross the river!" Nurhachi said with a fierce face:

"When he crosses the river, he will not escape!"

Obviously, he was not satisfied with the dozen stone forts that swept north of the Taizi River, and there was no way to make the Ming army taste the pain of having his arm cut off.

He must expand the results of the battle, so that he can continue to bleed for the Ming Dynasty in such a battle, and finally defeat Liaodong!

Huang Taiji had no choice but to take the order and go, calling all the soldiers and horses to set up camp.

Time passed little by little, and with the passage of three hours, the Tang cavalry of the Zhejiang soldiers soon appeared on the south bank of the Beisha River and looked north.

"Beep~~~~"

Suddenly, the Tang cavalry accompanied by Jianyu also blew the wooden whistle, and the Zhejiang soldiers and Tang cavalry immediately raised the Wansheng Franc machine in their hands and lifted it to the sky.

"Bang!"

A dull sound sounded, followed by a series of gunshots, and when it reached fifteen miles away, the Zhejiang soldiers who were marching stopped, and Qi Jin also reined in his horse and looked ahead.

After a short time, a team of pond horses rushed back, turned over and dismounted when they arrived in front of Qi Jin, and said:

"General, fifteen miles ahead is the Beisha River, and Jian Yu has already camped five miles north of the Beisha River!"

"Father!" Hearing this, Qi Yuanbi looked at his father, but Qi Jin said:

"The army marched ten miles, and then encamped, with the camp of the chariots as the periphery, against the north shore and the surrounding areas."

"Yes!" Hearing this, Qi Yuanbi called someone to pass the order.

12,000 Zhejiang soldiers continued northward, arrived at the south bank of the Beisha River before dusk, and then used the chariot battalion to build simple fortifications, then beckoned all the soldiers and horses to sit on the ground, but could not unload their armor.

Qi Jin and Qi Yuanbi, as well as a group of generals from Zhejiang, rode horses to the Beisha River, and at the same time, Nurhachi also came with Huang Taiji and others.

The generals of the two sides looked at each other from the Beisha River, which was less than forty meters wide, frowned, and led people away after a while.

"This man is cautious, it seems that tomorrow's battle will not be easy."

Nurhachi left a comment and looked up at the sky.

The red sunset represents a good weather tomorrow, but it is not good news for Houjin.

The Zhejiang soldiers made good use of firearms, and Nurhachi had already gotten the news from the spies in Liaoyang.

"They will use the car battalion, tomorrow Du Du you will lead the cavalry with white flags and two armors to try their car battalion and the Liaozhen car battalion."

"Yes!" Dudu returned the salute, and Nurhachi said no more, turned and rode away.

As for Qi Jin, he returned to the camp of the Zhejiang soldiers, and then took off his helmet and said to the generals of the Zhejiang soldiers:

"The soldiers and horses under the command of the old slave are all triple armor as expected by the King of Qi."

"Tomorrow, the cavalry on the left and right sides should not go out of battle, and the firecrackers of the chariot battalion will use Lumi guns and bird guns, and put the three-eyed eye guns to the end."

"The Fran cannon and the tiger squat cannon are not allowed to fire without my order!"

"Yes!" The congregation should respond.

"Stand down and rest, Saburo, you stay." Qi Jin spoke, and then the generals of the Zhejiang soldiers left one after another, leaving only Qi Yuanbi.

When Qi Yuanbi saw everyone leaving, he sat on the chair in the tent with his helmet in his arms, and Qi Jin then spoke:

"Your eldest brother and second brother went to Phoenix City and Kuandian to lead the troops alone, and you will be left behind for your father, you won't be angry."

"Where's the word from my father? It's too late for the child to stay with his father! Qi Yuanbi responded with a smile, and then said:

"I'm afraid that the eldest brother and the second brother are still rushing in the rugged mountain road right now, and I have already fought with the old slave, how can I be dissatisfied?"

"Kill a few real prisoners, and then take the official position of a general soldier, let my Qi family have four general soldiers!"

"Good! Have a backbone! When Qi Jin heard this, he was very happy and said:

"Then the father will not hide it." He put away his smiling face and said solemnly:

"Qi Yuanbi listens to orders!"

"The last general!" Qi Yuanbi knelt down on one knee with a solemn expression.

"Tomorrow I will order you to be the former army general and command the former army vehicle battalion!"

"The last general commands!" Qi Yuanbi responded loudly, and then took over the military order from Qi Jin.

After reading it, Qi Jin seemed to be a few years older, and said as a father:

"The front army is the front of the five divisions, and it must not be broken, but you must also pay attention to protecting yourself, and there are artillery in the building, I don't know if we can resist with our army's thickened car battalion."

"Father, rest assured, Bi will not let the front army be broken by an inch!" Qi Yuanbi comforted Qi Jin, and then said:

"I smell the smell of rice, so I'll go and serve food to my father."

"Go, go, go......" Qi Jin smiled, and then after Qi Yuanbi left, he closed his eyes, leaned back in the chair and fell asleep tiredly.

When Qi Yuanbi came to bring the meal and saw his father who was asleep, he did not choose to enter the account, but covered the food with a bowl and sat on the ground at the door, waiting for his father to wake up.

Time passed little by little, and with the tense night passing, early the next morning, Qi Jin ordered the river to be crossed.

When the army arrived on the south bank of the Beisha River, Houjin had already withdrawn from the camp and left, while Qi Jin frowned and said:

"This is to lure our army to the north bank of the Beisha River, and want to crush our army on the north bank of the Beisha River in one fell swoop......

"Father, shall we cross the river then?" Qi Yuanbi frowned and asked, while Qi Jin nodded firmly and said, "Cross!" ”

Soon, the Zhejiang soldiers filled the soil with empty sacks that had been prepared long ago, and then filled in a sandbag road six meters wide.

The Cheying took the lead in crossing the river, then set up a position on the north bank, and then the army crossed the river, and after all 12,000 people crossed the river, half an hour had passed.

Two thousand baggage carts were transported north, and then after being assembled, Qi Jin led the army north and released the Tang cavalry.

It's just that when they crossed the river and went ten miles north, the Houjun Tang Cavalry hurriedly rode horses to report that the pontoon bridge was destroyed, and the Yellow Banner was outflanked from behind.

"Array!" Qi Jin ordered.

"Yes!" Qi Yuanbi and the three generals received the order, and then began to form a formation, with two cavalry on the left and right, and a car formation in front and rear.

Due to the removal of vacancies and soldiers and horses in Liaoyang, the Zhejiang soldiers were much richer than in history.

There were 2,000 cavalry on the left and right, 3,000 foot soldiers in the front army, 2,000 foot soldiers in the rear army, 1,000 men on the left and right wings, and 2,000 men in the middle army.

Therefore, when the formation was arranged, the Zhejiang soldiers immediately hurriedly put the baggage grain and grass on the baggage cart under the wheels, locked the wheels with iron bolts, and then erected the five-inch thick car board wrapped with cowhide.

After the board is erected, a person pulls out a one-foot-wide strip of wood from the center of the board.

When the wooden strip was pulled out, six one-foot-sized squares were instantly revealed.

Subsequently, the two Franc cannons were placed on the carriage, the muzzles of the guns sticking out of the opening, and the twelve Zhejiang soldiers were ready, one of them half-kneeling on the ground, holding a loaded bird gun to poke out of the mouth.

Behind him, two Zhejiang soldiers stood tall, holding four-pole bird guns loaded with bullets.

The sub-cannon of the Furlong cannon was also filled with gunpowder, and two sub-cannons were placed next to it.

Behind them were men armed with spears, rattan swords, and wolf-knives, palladium, and blunt weapons.

After the front and rear armies, the left and right flanks were ready, the left and right cavalry also held the Wansheng Franc machine in their hands, ready to fight at any time.

"Woo~~~~"

Suddenly, the horn sounded, and then the plains began to sound in front and back, and the buildings poured out like a tide.

Among them, the most conspicuous is the heavy shield cart.

Seeing the shield car, whether it was Qi Jin of the Chinese army, Qi Yuanbi of the former army, or other Zhejiang generals, they were all terrified.

Although they already knew that Hou Jin was good at using the shield car, and he used the shield car + dead soldier + heavy infantry + heavy cavalry + light cavalry, they were still terrified when they saw the heavy shield car.

But after the horror, Qi Jin regained his composure.

"Open a big array, against the big enemy, different from the school art in the field, capture the thief, the dignified array, thousands of people line up to the front, the brave must not go first, the cowardly must not be behind, the group of guns pokes away, and the group of knives chops ......"

This is Qi Jiguang's original words, and adapting measures to local conditions is the benchmark of the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and the "Actual Record of Military Training".

Since there is a shield car, then the Furlong machine and the tiger squat cannon may be difficult to break the formation, and they must face hand-to-hand combat.

Thinking of this, Qi Jin walked down the temporary high platform, and then said to everyone:

"Order all gunners, the shield car will fire again after nearly a hundred paces!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, the bannermen of each outpost began to pass on the news.

After a short time, the four armies received the news, and everyone waited.

The enemy army was besieged with nearly three times the number of people, and such a four-sided siege method was obviously not prepared to let the Zhejiang soldiers get out of the north of the Beisha River alive.

I saw that the heavy shield carts were pushed, and the dead soldiers hid behind the shield carts, followed by light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and heavy infantry.

It can be said that such a chariot method also evolved from Qi Jiguang's military book, but the old slave made improvements, and he ensured the mobility of the prisoners with a queue of shield chariots + dead soldiers + light cavalry + heavy cavalry + heavy foot soldiers.

The cavalry is in the center, and it can completely deal with the front and rear, and once the situation is put on the battlefield, it becomes a scene at first glance, hundreds of shield carts slowly driving towards the Zhejiang soldiers.

If you look down from the sky, it is a long dragon marching towards the Zhejiang soldiers who are waiting for the battle.

One mile, three hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps......

"Put!"

"Huh~"

The fire rope was ignited, and within a few breaths, nearly four hundred light Furlong guns were fired on all sides.

The two-pound stone bullet was driven out of the barrel by the force of gunpowder, and then smashed the shield car, leaving only a pale white mark on the raw cowhide on the surface of the shield car.

But this is not the main thing, the main thing is ricochet!

With 300 two-pound stone bullets fired, they jumped on the shield cart, and then a few jumped into the queue behind the shield cart.

For a time, the number of people who were knocked down by the stone bullets was ten, and at this moment, the sub-gun of the Franc cannon was taken out, replaced with a new one, and ignited again.

"Bang bang bang-"

The endless sound of cannon fire continued, and the shield cart had already entered eighty steps.

From time to time, you can see someone falling behind the shield cart, and Nurhachi, who was standing on the low hill in the distance, saw this, but frowned and said:

"There is no ambush, let the cavalry withdraw, and then let the shield cart escort thirty iron cannons to approach!"

"Yes!" Huang Taiji nodded in response, and then with the sound of whistles, the light cavalry and heavy cavalry hidden behind the shield cart withdrew one after another, cruising two miles outside the battlefield, waiting for the Zhejiang soldiers to be slaughtered after the formation was broken.

"Jianyu also has artillery, although the range and power are not large, but it is estimated that if you want to break the formation, you should use it now, order all the posts to be ready, and when you see the iron cannon, you will aim at it for me!"

"Yes!"

Qi Jin learned more about Houjin's intelligence, and naturally knew that the other party had a simple iron cannon with a relatively short range, at this time, he didn't dare to gamble with his own car battalion, in case the chariot was destroyed, then the military formation would reveal a hole, and that was the key to being broken.

"The six outposts of the former army found the Jianyu artillery! Guarding by a shield cart! ”

Suddenly, Qi Yuanbi of the former army had just passed on the news when he heard the words of the six sentinels.

"The artillery of the front army is ready, and when you see the iron cannon of Jianyu, you will fight me!"

Qi Yuanbi had just given the order, but he saw a guerrilla general step forward and say:

"General, the artillery is too hot, one stick of incense shoots five cannons, it's no longer good!"

"One last shot! After the fight, change the tiger squat cannon, and wait for the order of the Chinese general! Qi Yuanbi drew his sword and ordered, and even shouted:

"The general is decapitated, and the warrior sacrifices his life, right now!"

"Kill the thief!"

The former gunners began to replace their guns, and then waited for the guns guarded by ten shield carts to approach.

However, at this time, Nurhachi also caught the artillery stopped by the Zhejiang soldiers, and immediately said:

"The Ming army wants to attack the iron artillery, don't give them a chance, order the artillery to stop, and let the dead soldiers carry the shield cart to consume their gunpowder first!"

"Yes!" Huang Taiji responded, and then began to let the heralds wave flags, and sent Tang to ride behind the dead soldiers in the shield carts to pass on information.

This scene was seen by Qi Jin, and Qi Jin immediately said:

"The artillery is stopped, the Furlong machine is on standby to deal with the iron cannon, the tiger squats the cannon, and the prisoner is nearly fifty steps away and puts a pound of bullets!"

"Yes!" The sentinels who had just returned from running went to deliver the news again.

At this time, Houjin's shield cart was already approaching fifty paces, so after the bird gun put away the bird gun, but the tiger squat cannon weighing sixty or seventy pounds was placed on the gap of the chariot.

"Put!"

"Bang bang bang!"

With the Tiger Squat cannon firing its might, this improvised cannon, which resembles a throwing canister, began to shoot stone projectiles the size of fingernails.

These stone bullets hit the sky like scattered flowers of the Heavenly Maiden, and in the next moment, they were crushed down like black clouds destroying the city.

Although this did not harm any casualties to the prisoners, it slowed down their pace, and everyone raised their shields and did not dare to slack off.

Finally, in such anxiety, Houjin approached twenty paces, and then the shield cart began to rush and crash towards the camp!

Peng!

Hundreds of pounds of shield carts crashed into the chariot of the Zhejiang Soldier Battalion, almost overturning the chariot, and taking advantage of the chariot riot, the Eight Banners of the dead soldier with heavy armor climbed onto the shield cart and jumped into the chariot like dumplings.

However, what they are about to face is a dense network of wolves, as well as boring palladium, spears, and hook sickles hidden behind them.

"Ahh

The wolf stabbed Hou Jin Jianyu in the face, and when they raised their shields, the hook and sickle hooked his feet and dragged him into the chariot, and then the boring palladium like a fork pierced into its legs, like a straw man, and then dragged him in, and then the knife player used the Qi family knife to his face!

This is a spectacular scene, on the front army's chariot defense line, hundreds of dead soldiers rushed into the Zhejiang troop battalion, in a vain attempt to break the camp from the inside out, but encountered an unprecedented Waterloo!

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

In the past, when dealing with the Cheying camp in Liaozhen, he tried all kinds of methods, but now it has become a move like giving people away.

One by one, the captives were dragged into the ranks of hand-to-hand combatants.

When they were dragged, they waved the blunt weapon in their hands in panic, but they saw the axe crack, directly cutting the bones of their hands.

"Ahh The screams appeared, but without waiting for Jian Yu to react, he opened his eyes and saw the fall of the long knife and blunt object.

The face became fleshy in a few breaths, and the reaction of the limbs twitching became smaller and smaller.

Subsequently, the Zhejiang soldiers untied their neck armor and cracked off their heads on the spot with an axe!

Looking at the slapped head, the eyes of the surrounding Zhejiang soldiers were extremely hot.

According to King Qi's words, this one is one hundred taels, which is equivalent to their military salary for nearly seven months.

This scene made Qi Jin frown after seeing it, and hurriedly ordered:

"Order all armies not to covet their heads, and all heads will be rewarded with silver, and they will be divided equally according to their heads!"

"Yes!" More than 100 heralds continued to go to the herald, and under their orders, the Zhejiang soldiers immediately began to stop this time-wasting harvest of the head, and instead dragged the corpses to the vicinity of the Chinese army.

But at this moment, with the thunder of "boom", several chariots in the front army were suddenly smashed off the baffle, and the flying sawdust made the surrounding bird-gunners and gunners have their cheeks broken.

"Jianyu still has iron cannons! Inside the Northwest Corner Shield! ”

Suddenly, Qi Yuanbi of the former army heard this, and then shouted while riding his horse in the front army:

"Build the damaged shield car with sandbags, and Furlong cannons will fight back!"

At the behest of him and his heralds, several of the damaged chariots were removed from their guns and cannons and piled with sandbags.

The tiger squat cannon on the chariot was removed, and the Fran cannon was put on the chariot again, and while the shield cart of Jianyu had not yet been closed, more than 100 guns of the front army fired two catties of stone bullets.

Most of these stone bullets flew over a distance of 300 paces, and only a dozen of them smashed into the iron cannon array and turned into ricochet shells, killing and injuring the gunners.

However, at this moment, the thirty iron cannons that had been hiding behind the shield cart also fired.

The shield cart was withdrawn, and thirty iron cannons were ignited with fuses......

"Boom!"

In an instant, five or six chariots were affected, and dozens of Zhejiang soldiers were killed and wounded......
