"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Five hundred households of A, B, C, D, and E went to Wulibao to build a position and stationed for defense, and five hundred households of Jigeng Xinren followed me to Xishan Fort to build a position."

"Ten people from every 100 households are sitting in the car with bullet belts, don't hold me back!"

Under Bali Fort, when the commander Liu Bian's shouting and scolding sounded, everyone on the position moved.

The 100 Shence guards who supported Balibao returned to the stone fort one after another, while the thousands of Shence guards on the position put boxes of ammunition on the carts one by one.

Ten carts were loaded with more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition, and under the greeting of Liu Bian, they marched towards Xishanbao and Wulibao respectively.

It's okay to go to Wuli Fort, only three miles away, but to get to Xishan Fort, even if you take the mountain road, it takes twenty miles, even if it is a cavalry, it takes a quarter of an hour to walk.

Xishan Fort is close to the main battlefield again, a quarter of an hour is too long, and it will definitely be too late to build simple fortifications after arriving, thinking of this, Liu Bian shouted to a team of pond horses:

"Ask General Cao for help, and transfer the 1,200 cavalry of the Shenwu Guard of Tashan Fort in the rear to help build the fortifications."

After that, he continued to look at the team and said: "The four hundred households of Geng Xinren have arrived at Xishan Fort first, take out the barbed wire from the fort and arrange it, and then dig a trench when the 1,200 cavalry from Tashan Fort arrives. ”

"The hundred households of the Guizi will escort the ammunition truck to it, and they must arrive at the defense line of Xishan Fort within three quarters of an hour."

"Do you understand?!"

"I'll take my orders!" Ten hundred household officials responded loudly, and then everyone didn't need to say much, they all turned over their horses and jumped away.

Their needs reached Cao Wenzhao a quarter of an hour later, and Cao Wenzhao did not hesitate to do so:

"Order Shen Wuwei to command Shen Chaofeng to take 1,200 cavalry under his command south to help Shen Cewei build a defensive line!"

"Yes!"

Tang rode north non-stop, and at the same time, Cao Wenzhao also looked at the Jin army who had finished resting under artillery fire.

For two quarters of an hour, Huang Taiji had been hiding in the rear army and commanded Dolgon, Azig, Zilharang, and Duoduo to lead the two white banners and Mongolian rangers to attack Cao Wenzhao's troops.

With the help of artillery and rifles, Cao Wenzhao repelled more than a dozen general attacks of the Jin army, but it was not a way to go on like this.

Although the Jin army left a lot of corpses, the Ming army's artillery and stone shells began to run out.

Now their artillery stone shells are completely supplied by the West Hill Fort and the North Hill Fort behind them.

Fort West and Fort North had 9,000 stone shells and 2,000 packs of scattered shells, but this was only enough to supply their own, and once appropriated to 600 guns, the number of stone shells in this unit was far from enough.

By the time Cao Wenzhao arrived on the battlefield, the Ming artillery had fired 12 rounds, two rounds of scattered bullets, and 10 rounds of stone bullets.

At present, Cao Wenzhao only has 800 packs of loose ammunition left in his hand, and the ammunition configuration of five rounds of stone bullets is enough to fight seven rounds at most, and only 200 artillery pieces can shoot scattered bullets in the seventh round, and the remaining 500 artillery pieces can only stare dryly.

Three rounds in a quarter of an hour, and seven rounds in a quarter of an hour.

At this time, it is estimated that Liu Bian and Shen Chaofeng can't even dig a deep trench.

The war was urgent, and Cao Wenzhao could only delay as much as possible, but he also knew that this was not the way.

"Woo-woo-"

The horn sounded again, and Cao Wenzhao also calmed down.

The position they defended was a plain on a hilly plateau, after which the plain was divided into two mountain paths, one leading to the West Hill Fort and the other to the North Hill Fort.

Among them, the mountain road of Xishan Fort is relatively narrow, only less than 600 steps wide, while Beishan Fort is 800 steps wide.

Cao Wenzhao thought very clearly, he had to defend for at least three quarters of an hour, and when Liu Bian had built the fortifications of Xishan Fort, he would lead his people to retreat to Beishan Fort to defend it.

The rest of the cavalry units guarded the exits of other river valleys one after another, and then trapped more than 300,000 Jianjiao, Beijiao, and traitors here.

Jian's rear army has been fighting with Yulin and other tens of thousands of cavalry, although the scale is not large, but the Ming army still captured, burned a lot of baggage carts.

After such a long time of grinding blood strips, it is still a question of how long the Jin Army's food and grass will be enough to eat.

Sticking to it, relying on the geographical advantage, they can always wait for Guo Sangdai's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to come to help.

As long as Guo Sangdai's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses arrive at the battlefield, the Ming army can also rely on the Divine Guard to start harvesting the first rank.

Thinking of this, Cao Wenzhao also calmly ordered:

"Artillery ready!"

"Ready...... Put! ”

"Peng Peng Peng—"

A new round of shelling unfolded, but the Jin army was like a trapped beast that had seen blood at this moment, rushing towards the Ming army without fear of death.

Death is terrible, but if it can surrender, there may be many deserters in the Jin army right now.

However, before the war began, Huang Taiji had already publicized the Northern Expedition regulations of Zhu Youzhen, the king of Qi in the Ming Dynasty, and the destruction of all the Mongols, Jurchens, and traitors who betrayed their lords for glory.

In other words, their group of people is destined to have no chance of surrendering, so for the sake of the more than 200,000 clansmen, relatives, and family members behind them, they can only make a hard impact.

There were no shields, no artillery, nothing of all kinds, just anger and a desire to survive.

Under the idea of "breaking through with their families to survive", even the more than 20,000 Mongolian rangers burst out with strong belief at this moment.

20,000 rangers and 5,000 horsemen with two white flags began to charge, and in the face of them, the Ming army had less than 13,000 men.

After more than 600 iron cavalry were killed, the number of cavalry of the Ming army around Cao Wenzhao was only more than 2,500 people.

Cao Bianjiao took them to guard the left and right sides of the army, and Cao Wenzhao sat in the Chinese army.

The 4,000-foot gunners took the lead, and the 4,000-foot gunners gave the 2,000 gunners their hands, and the guns made a dull roar.

A new round of stone catapults shot out, like a torrential rain, pouring down.

Obviously, it is only the size of a fist, but when it hits the horses and people, you can hear the sound of "Kacha" breaking bones, which stimulates the feet of the people around you to weaken.

The flesh is afraid, but the spirit is singing.

After a round of shelling, a long cooling period of up to half a cup of tea will follow.

"Kill!"

"Kill Minggou! Break through with your family! ”

"Kill them all! Kill! Kill! ”

Everyone was extremely excited, as if this was the only way to paralyze themselves.

Huang Taiji, who was in the rear, looked at this scene and sighed in his heart.

Perhaps in the short term, it is extremely stupid to break through with the families of the soldiers, but in the long run, only for the sake of the family can the Jin army ignore the nation and burst out with such unparalleled power.

"Ready...... Put! ”

"Beep-"

"Bang Bang Bang

When the 20,000 Mongol rangers of the Jin army rushed into a distance of fifty paces, the generals of the former infantry men blew the wooden whistle, and the Ming army began their best three-stage attack.

White smoke swirled on the battlefield, obscuring the vision of many people, but the flying lead bullets told the Jin army a truth...... Times have changed.

"Sigh the law ......"

"Hiss-"

"Peng!"

"Rush! Rush! Rush! ”

The war horse neighed in pain, shouting and killing, even if some people fell from the horse's back, they still raised their waist knives in their hands and shouted to charge.

At this moment, they bravely charged towards the enemy formation, and the 20,000 Mongolian rangers took the lead, trying to use 20,000 cavalry to directly crush the 4,000 infantry men.

In the face of the overwhelming and overwhelming charge of the 20,000 cavalry, the Ming army's infantry men calmly took over the rear row infantry guns, and continued to shoot at an interval of about five seconds.

The cavalry in the front row was shot, and the men and horses were planted, causing the rear cavalry to follow and fall.

However, even so, with the belief of breaking through, most of the Mongolian cavalry still rushed towards the Ming army.

Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao immediately raised the iron shovel in his hand: "Kill!" ”

"Beep-"

The piercing wooden whistle sounded first, and the cavalry of the Ming army, under the leadership of Cao Bianjiao, slaughtered the Jin army, which was dozens of times their size.

They charged from both flanks, trying to flank the Mongol cavalry.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji in the rear immediately ordered someone to wave the order flag, and at the same time he also waved his hand and ordered: "Two yellow flags charge!" ”

Soon after the flag was transmitted, the 20,000 Mongolian cavalry rushed towards the Ming cavalry in two, vowing to exterminate the Ming cavalry.

The 5,000-horse infantry of Dolgon and others charged head-on to the infantry men, while the 10,000-horse infantry on the two yellow flags in the rear also followed.

Dolgon led the men into a distance of thirty paces, but was instantly routed by a volley of guns.

But the casualties could not stop them, and Dorgon and his men tried to charge into the ranks, but then the sound of artillery rang out again.

"Peng Peng Peng—"

This time, the ferocious artillery did not choose stone shells, but scattered shells.

Hundreds of thousands of scattered bombs were fired, not only harvesting half of the two white flag horse infantry, but even harvesting some Mongolian rangers, killing and wounding thousands of people for a while.

The sound of artillery at close range made the horses under the crotch of the Mongolian cavalry run back in horror, and the horse infantry was also difficult to suppress the horses under the crotch.

Then they only withdrew a hundred steps, and were reorganized by the various Niu Lu Ezhen, so that after the defeat and retreat, they quickly organized and regained their calm and organizational strength, which is commendable even in modern times.

"Kill!"

"Whew-"

The Jin army launched an attack again, and they were not afraid in the face of the Ming army's platoon artillery, and they attacked one by one.

During this period, Huang Taiji, who was in the rear, was keenly aware of the gap between the cavalry and infantry of the Ming army with the clairglass mirror in his hand, so he hurriedly asked people to play the flag:

"Let Dolgon go in the direction of Shen for three quarters, there is a gap there!"

"Yes!"

Dai Shan hurriedly responded, and ordered someone to immediately wave the order flag and pass the flag.

"Lord Belle, the Great Khan asked us to break through from the direction of Shen Shi Sanjie."

"So what are you waiting for?! Give me all rush! ”

Dolgon watched the two white flags continue to be killed and wounded, and while his heart was dripping blood, he also instantly remembered the picture of himself being chased and killed by Cao Bianjiao, and after the combination of new and old hatreds, he immediately led the only remaining two white flag horse infantry around him to break in the direction given by Huang Taiji.

I have to say that even if Cao Wenzhao has been promoted, in the face of an opponent like Huang Taiji and in a weak situation, he can still only defend passively.

He couldn't see the overall situation, so under the breakthrough of Dolgon, the gap between the cavalry and infantry of the Ming army was broken through in one fell swoop, and more than 3,000 taels of white flags were killed towards 4,000 foot guns.

"Put!"

"Bang Bang Bang

At the critical moment, the 4,000 infantry men of the rear army who were the gunners lined up their guns in time and knocked down more than 100 Jin troops in an instant, making the formation of Dolgon's headquarters slightly chaotic.

It's just that in the face of the Jin army, which is not afraid of death, the Ming army fought extremely hard.

Cao Wenzhao didn't want to use other cavalry, but after seeing the fierce attack of the Mongolian rangers and the continuous defeat of his own cavalry, he still urgently transferred 2,000 forest guard cavalry.

However, his transfer of troops also caused the northeast to be vacant.

Fortunately, there are mountains and forests in this direction, and the only road in the northeast is still guarded by Dongshan Fort, so even if this direction is vacant, the Jin army does not think of breaking through from here.

"Kill!"

"Kill Minggou and take your family to break through!"

The addition of 2,000 cavalry could not allow the Ming army to regain the situation, and 20,000 Mongolian rangers still attacked without fear of death, and at the same time, the soldiers and horses of the two yellow banners had reached the front line......

"Bird? There are also step guns! ”

Holding the clairvoyant mirror, when Cao Wenzhao saw that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the two yellow flags began to form the same military formation as the Ming army, and this was Huang Taiji's hole card.

The bird gun is not as good as the step gun, and it can only penetrate the triple armor of the Ming army at a distance of thirty paces.

But the problem is that if the Jin army can reach nearly thirty paces, the number of casualties of the Ming army will rise rapidly.

If he was fighting normally, Huang Taiji would not dare to bet that the Jin Army's bird hand would be able to advance to a distance of thirty paces, but in the current situation, the Jin Army's bird hand would definitely be able to do it.

Therefore, watching the Jin Army's bird hands approaching the Ming Army's infantry hand phalanx, Huang Taiji's face also began to appear happy.

Cao Wenzhao is not stupid, the Ming army also has bird guns, and he also knows the power of bird guns, so he hurriedly looked at the battlefield.

However, the Ming army, which was one enemy and three enemies, was naturally inferior to the Jin army in terms of numbers, and if the cavalry was withdrawn, the 20,000 rangers would deal a devastating blow to the Ming army's infantry phalanx.

If the 4,000 infantry in the rear is pressed, then Dolgon will be able to attack the artillery position around the rear, so in the situation, Cao Wenzhao has no hole cards to play.

In such a situation, if there was no foreign aid, the 10,000 Ming army would not be able to escape the end of annihilation, but at this time, four hundred cavalry on horseback appeared on the plain in the distance.

At the moment when the four hundred cavalry appeared, the generals of the two sides of Ming and Jin all looked at each other, and Mang Gurtai was even more constricted when he saw their first glance.

"They're coming!"

"Can't fight! Huang Taiji! Get out of the way! ”

Mang Gurtai shouted at Huang Taiji who was more than a dozen paces away like crazy, and did not even call him the Great Khan, but called him by his first name, which shows what kind of psychological shadow the Shence Guard cavalry caused to him.

"Them?"

Huang Taiji had a bad premonition in his heart, but before he could give the order, the sound of a third fire gun in the distance, which was different from the bird and the foot gun, sounded on the plain.

"Bang bang bang-"

After more than 300 steps, the cavalry of the 400 Ming Army led by Liu Bian formed a long snake formation in a neat manner, and raised the Apocalypse 11 rifle and pulled the trigger on the Jin army.

In a situation where everyone was confused, the four hundred bullets told the Ming and Jin armies that the era of cold weapons was about to pass......

With the sound of "poof", the sound of bullets passing through the flesh continued to sound, and two or three hundred people were shot and fell off their horses one after another, which shocked the scalps of the two soldiers and horses.

】

Even on the side of the Ming army, they didn't know what kind of firearm Shen Cewei was holding in his hand.

Carrying a gun? It is impossible, although the gun can shoot far, it is impossible to hit three hundred paces away, and it is impossible to be so accurate.

"Bang bang bang-"

In just a few breaths, before everyone could react, Liu Bian and the Shence Guard cavalry pulled the trigger on their horses, and began to shoot on the back of their stationary horses, wantonly harvesting the Mongolian rangers closest to them.

There was another round of shooting, and the sound of "poof" rang out endlessly, and the horses began to neigh.

In ten breaths, four hundred cavalry holding the Apocalypse Eleven-style cavalry instantly harvested four or five hundred Mongolian rangers, which made the commander of this ranger Abai and Tang Gu hurriedly ordered:

"Kill the four hundred cavalry!"

"Beep-"

While shouting, he blew the wooden whistle, and took his big sword to kill Liu Bian and them, and tens of thousands of Mongolian rangers around him saw this and attacked and killed Liu Bian and them.

They followed Nurhachi's third sons, Abai, and fourth sons, Tanggu, and rushed forward from the front, desperate and fearless, shouting in unison to kill the enemy, and charging on horseback.

Armed with spears, bows and arrows, they met the Ming army with their blood, trying to disrupt and drown the 400 people of Liu Bian.

"Idiot! All withdrawn! ”

"All withdrawn!"

Mang Gurtai was so frightened that he couldn't stop yelling, making Huang Taiji, Dai Shan and others feel that he seemed to be stupid by the Ming army.

It's just 400 people, what can be done? No matter how sharp their muskets were, what could they do?

Therefore, Huang Taiji did not order the withdrawal of Abai and Tang Gu, but sat back and watched them charge, and even thought of destroying these four hundred people, snatching the divine weapon fire from them and using it against Cao Wenzhao.

"Quick! Wave the flag and let Jiao'er support them! ”

Cao Wenzhao saw that tens of thousands of rangers of the Jin army rushed towards Liu Bian and them, and made people wave flags and pass the flag like burning eyebrows, hoping that Cao Bianjiao would lead troops to support Liu Bian and them.

However, Cao Bianjiao had the heart but was powerless, because Nurhachi's other sons, Tabai, Babutai and others, with the surviving seven or eight thousand cavalry, were entangled with their less than four thousand cavalry.

Cao Wenzhao could only watch in despair as tens of thousands of Mongolian rangers rushed towards Liu Bian, and he was ready to die in battle.

It's a pity that when a part of the Mongolian rangers rushed to a place three hundred steps away from Liu Bian's headquarters, the dense rain of bullets instantly knocked down more than 300 people, and a large number of men and horses fell, and before other cavalry rushed forward a few steps, a new round of bullet rain hit again.

By the time they rushed two hundred paces, the Ming army had already fired three rounds in a row.

At the same time, the long-dormant artillery rang out again......

"Peng Peng Peng—"

The dull artillery, under the command of Cao Wenzhao, chose to support Liu Bian's subordinates.

Stone bullets rained down into the cavalry, inflicting a large number of casualties on tens of thousands of Mongol rangers.

The horses were frightened and went on a rampage, almost unable to form an army, and tens of thousands of shock troops were disturbed and cut off, causing more than 3,000 people in front of them to rush into 200 paces, while the remaining 5,000 or 6,000 people were still hovering back about 200 paces.

"Bang bang bang-"

The dense rain of bullets hit again, and due to the density of the Mongol rangers, Liu Bian and they didn't need to aim to shoot.

In each round of shooting, two or three hundred people fell off their horses, or fell down, until they rushed into a hundred paces, Liu Bian and they fired three rounds in a row, and most of the three thousand cavalry fell off their horses, and only more than 1,000 people killed Liu Bian and them.

It's just that at this time, Liu Bian and the others began to turn their horses' heads, shooting while running.

The cavalry in the rear caught up, but its size was less than eight thousand.

Huang Taiji's eyes widened, because after all the cavalry chased Shen Cewei away, the corpses all over the ground made him not know how to speak for a while.

"Get them back! Huang Taiji! ”

Mang Gurtai was stopped, otherwise he was afraid that now he would have to forcibly let Huang Taiji order the withdrawal of the army.

"Withdraw...... No way! ”

Huang Taiji wanted the 8,000 cavalry to retreat, but he watched the two sides pursue, and finally chose to gamble.

If the firearms of the five hundred cavalry were obtained by him, then he could use them to counterattack the Ming army.

I have to say that Huang Taiji thought very well, he thought that the starting pistol, like the bird, was stuffed with gunpowder and projectiles, and he didn't know that the starting pistol used a paper shell with a primer.

He did not give the order, but as the battle raged, the Mongol rangers gradually discovered that something was wrong after hundreds of paces of pursuit.

There were fewer and fewer of them, but Liu Bian relied on the horsepower of their horses to pull them a distance of a hundred paces, and kept turning and shooting.

Despite shooting in motion, they were able to inflict one or two hundred casualties on the Mongol rangers per round.

Gradually, the two of Abai and Tang Gu, who reacted, could only be forced to rein in their horses under the firepower of the Divine Guard.

"Stop!"

"Beep-"

"Bang bang bang-"

In an irritating scene, Abai and Tang Gu had just blown the whistle to order the army to rein in their horses, but the gods also stopped and turned their horses to continue shooting them.

For a time, there were two or three hundred dead and wounded, which made Abai and Tang Gu, as well as many Mongolian rangers, very devastated.

They had already beaten for half a beat, and their horsepower was insufficient, so they couldn't catch up with Liu Bian's more than 500 people, but Liu Bian and they could shoot reflexively in three or four breaths, killing hundreds of them.

How can they survive in the long run?

In order for their families to break through, they have the belief that they will die.

But in the face of Liu Bian, the sense of despair in their hearts is indescribable.

Watching my comrades fall one by one during the chase was a suffocating feeling.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

When the sound of the gun sounded, everyone couldn't help but tremble, but when they turned around and saw that it was their own bird hand that made the sound of the gun, Abai and the others had hope in their hearts again.

"Chase!"

He raised his horsewhip and pointed at Liu Bian and the other 400 cavalry, and pressed up with the remaining 7,000 cavalry.

The two sides chased again, albeit with a one-sided kite flying......

"Put!"

"Bang Bang Bang-"

The dense sound of guns sounded on the plain, and tens of thousands of birds pressed towards the Ming army's infantry guns.

The two sides began to shoot at each other, but the Jin army took advantage of the numerical advantage and constantly maintained that the first platoon could shoot within two breaths, although the Ming army was about the same number as the Jin army, but there were 4,000 infantry to guard against the cruising Dolgon, so the Jin army only faced 4,000 men on the frontal battlefield.

Within twenty paces of thirty paces, the Ming army maintained their superiority and fired three rounds of guns, but when the Jin army entered thirty paces, they began a Jedi counterattack.

Rounds of guns came over, and the Ming army suffered thousands of casualties, and the formation was instantly chaotic.

In this era, the way of shooting and killing by platoons of the two armies appeared on the Eastern battlefield, but its appearance was full of confusion.

"Withdraw!"

The situation on the battlefield was unpredictable, although the Ming army suppressed the Jin army in the local battlefield, but the entire battlefield was suppressed by the Jin army's use of numbers.

Therefore, it was not Abai and Tang Gu who took the lead in shouting out the withdrawal, but Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao's purpose itself is to hold on until Liu Bian and the others arrive at Xishan Fort, and now Liu Bian and the others have half a cup of tea when they come to the battlefield.

Shen Wuwei commanded Shen Chaofeng to be much closer to Xishan Fort than Liu Bian, so Shen Chaofeng estimated that he had already built a position for Xishan Fort for most of the day.

In other words, Cao Wenzhao's purpose has been achieved, and now he can retreat.

"Peng Peng Peng—"

After Cao Wenzhao ordered a retreat and the infantry men retreated to the artillery position, the 600 artillery pieces of the Ming army roared again, hundreds of thousands of scattered bullets were fired, and thousands of two-yellow flag bird gunners fell one after another.

"Withdraw!"

Cao Bianjiao saw that his uncle began to withdraw his troops, and he also began to withdraw his troops to cut off his queen.

"Drive!"

"Drive-"

Huang Taiji was about to pursue, but there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves from the side, and he turned his head to see that more than 5,000 cavalrymen holding the banners of Yulinwei and Tiancewei appeared on the battlefield.

"Don't chase!"

Seeing the appearance of the 5,000 cavalry of Tiancewei and Yulinwei, coupled with the casualties of various armies, Huang Taiji was frightened, so Huang Taiji hurriedly ordered the army to stop.

He didn't dare to order the pursuit anymore, because the cavalry of the Five Thousand Feather Forest and Tiance broke the balance of the battlefield.

After fighting for an hour, both sides of Ming and Jin are uncomfortable at the moment, even if he orders the army to pursue, he will not be able to eat Cao Wenzhao's department under the obstruction of the five thousand feather forests and Tiance cavalry.

If he can't eat Cao Wenzhao and can't get artillery, then he can only choose to rest in place.

"Bell, bell, bell—"

The sound of the Ming and Jin armies sounded one after another, and the two soldiers and horses retreated tacitly, although there were counterattacks of shooting and firing guns on the way, but they were still within a controllable range.

The two armies retreated and began to collect their own corpses as they could.

As for those who can't be collected, they can only be abandoned on the battlefield......
