Zhu Cihong ordered Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, to be the commander of the Jingwei Iron Cavalry, and took 30,000 Jingwei Iron Cavalry, which had just been formed for a month, to the north to support the front line.

The two sides of the Ming Dynasty faced off in Huai'an.

Stretching for hundreds of miles, there were soldiers on both sides everywhere.

In the big tent of the Ming army's barracks.

"Minister! Zheng Sen! ”

"Minister! Zhang Huangyan! ”

“.....”

Zheng Sen and other five commanders of the new army immediately paid homage to Zhu Cihongdao.

"Let's all be flat!"

Zhu Cihong sat on the handsome chair in the barracks and looked straight ahead.

"Emperor Xie!"

The generals have calmed down.

"What is the situation between friend and foe now?"

Zhu Cihong asked.

"The situation is not optimistic, our new army has only more than 40,000 people, each battalion is about 8,000 people, plus the 100,000 soldiers recruited from all over Nanzhili, a total of about 140,000 people, and the Qing army is nearly 300,000! Its commanders Duoduo and Azig are all famous generals in the world! ”

Zhang Huangyan stepped forward and told the truth.

"I came this time to bring you 30,000 Jingwei Iron Cavalry."

Zhu Cihong said.

"I heard that it has only been more than a month since the formation of 30,000 iron cavalry, and I am afraid that the combat power is not strong! Not very useful! ”

Zheng Sen said with some concern.

"What do you mean by Commander Zheng's words? It doesn't matter if you say that the combat power is strong or not, you have to be on the battlefield with real swords and guns, and you have to prove it with practice! All my Ming men are willing to repay the country with death! Even if it has only been in the army for more than a month, it can burst out with amazing combat power! Ordinary Qing army infantry can be directly suppressed at will, and it is a big deal to encounter the Eight Banners elite cavalry, two for one! My 30,000 iron horsemen will never disgrace Daming. ”

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian said with an indignant face.

"Report! The Qing army took the initiative! Azig led 50,000 men to kill the tent of our army. ”

A soldier entered the tent and said.

"There are nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses in the big tent of our Chinese army, and 20,000 of them are new troops here, is he crazy?"

Zheng Sen said in disbelief.

"The minister is afraid that the Qing army will be deceitful, please transfer the Jingwei Iron Cavalry stationed nearby fifty miles away to protect the Chinese army!"

Tang King Zhu Yujian said.

"This battle is a matter of life and death! Be cautious! Immediately mobilize 30,000 Jingwei Iron Cavalry to escort you! ”

Zhu Cihong immediately played.

Soon, the military order was passed on to the Jingwei Iron Cavalry fifty miles away through the flying pigeon.

Fifty miles away, the Jingwei Iron Cavalry received the flying pigeons.

Hurry up and rush towards the tent of the Chinese military camp.

The scene shifts to Azig's side.

Azig led a total of 50,000 Qing soldiers composed of 10,000 elite cavalry and 40,000 Han Chinese, and rushed towards the big tent of the Ming army.

Azig's full name is Aisin Jueluo-Azig, and he is the twelfth son of Nurhachi.

This person had broken Li Zicheng, in Dengzhou, Chengtianfu, De'anfu, Wuchang, Fuchikou, Sangjiakou, Jiujiang and other places, thirteen battles were all victorious, those who surrendered were touched, those who refused were punished, and chased to Li Zicheng's old camp, even broken, Li Zicheng escaped with only twenty people, captured the puppet Zhao Marquis Zuo Guangxian, the puppet military division Song Xiance, etc., and killed Li Zicheng's two uncles and the puppet Marquis Liu Zongmin.

Its record is extremely dazzling, even terrifying.

Such a character is by no means so easy to deal with.

On a high ground, the Ming army deployed 200 artillery pieces aimed at the 50,000 Qing soldiers led by Azig.

"Ready!"

The general of the Ming army, who was in charge of managing artillery, gave an order.

The Ming gunners turned their cannons one after another to aim at Azig's 50,000 Qing soldiers.

As soon as the order is given again, the cannon can be fired.

"Open...."

"Peng...."

"Ahh

However, before the artillery general could finish shouting the order to open the artillery, three artillery pieces fired at a salvo from 400 meters away, and three shells flew in, killing the Ming artillery general and more than a dozen gunners on the spot, destroying six or seven artillery pieces.

"Fuck, who fired the cannon!"

An adjutant general of the Ming army mistakenly thought that it was his own people who fired the cannon, and hurriedly questioned sharply.

But when I looked around, I didn't see a single person firing a cannon.

"Peng...."

Accompanied by another burst of shelling.

"Ahh

Seven more guns were blown off, and more than a dozen gunners were killed under fire.

"Adjutant General, it's not our cannon!"

One of the gunners hurriedly said.

The gunners were in a panic.

The adjutant general of the Ming army looked at it in a blink of an eye and saw three artillery pieces faintly hidden in the jungle 400 meters away.

"Not good! It's the gunners of the Qing army! Turn the muzzle and fire at me! ”

The adjutant general of the Ming army immediately ordered.

The gunners turned their muzzles one after another.

"Kill!"

At this moment, thousands of Qing troops suddenly came out.

"Huh...."

I saw the Qing army running and shooting arrows with bows and arrows.

Hundreds of gunners were killed on the spot, and the rest were all hacked to death by the oncoming Qing troops.

The Qing army quickly captured this artillery position.

The adjutant general of the Ming army was also killed by the Qing army after killing two Qing soldiers.

The Qing army successfully took out the artillery positions of the battalion of the Ming army.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

"What's the matter, why haven't the artillery fired yet, hasn't the Qing army entered the range of artillery attack yet?"

Zhu Cihong waited for a long time, but did not hear the sound of the cannon, and hurriedly asked.

"Yes! Logically speaking, this time is long overdue! Isn't there something variable? ”

Tang King Zhu Yujian also wondered at the same time.

"Report! Your Majesty, something is wrong! The Qing soldiers have entered the camp of the Chinese army, and our army has already exchanged hands with the Qing army. ”

A soldier entered the tent and said.

In the blink of an eye, the picture turned.

Came to the outside of the camp of the Chinese army.

In addition to the 10,000 people guarding the Chinese army camp, the other 50,000 people lined up outside the camp.

20,000 new troops were in the center, and 15,000 local armies were deployed on the left and right sides to coordinate with each other to support the new army in the center.

"Kill!"

The Qing army shouted one after another, and then killed.

"Put!"

Zheng Sen and the other commanders of the five battalions of the new army did not hurry and ordered the shooting.

"Bump...."

20,000 birds attacked the Qing army.

"Ahh

Thousands of Qing soldiers fell to the ground and died.

Azig personally led 10,000 eight banner elite horsemen to kill.

"Order, two armies on the left and right, move closer to us!"

Zheng Sen hurriedly ordered the herald to send a signal.

"Yes!"

The herald immediately complied.

"Peng!"

Immediately, using the fireworks as a signal, 15,000 local troops on the left and right quickly moved closer to Zheng Sen and other five battalions of 20,000 new troops.

"Peng!"

Accompanied by fireworks, they take off into the sky and bloom in the air.

15,000 men each of the two armies on the left and right who received the signal to gather moved closer to the new army in the center.

Originally, according to the previously discussed countermeasures, after the left and right armies approached, the horse rejection array composed of the spears and shields of the local army could block the Eight Banners Elite Cavalry.

However, this plan fell through with the artillery fire on the high ground not far away.

"Peng...."

Hundreds of shells came at a gallop, attacking the left and right armies that were moving closer to the new army.

"Ahh

The left and right armies suffered more than 1,000 casualties in an instant.

"What's going on? Isn't that the artillery position of our Ming army? ”

Zhang Huangyan was immediately stunned.

"Not good! It must be that the artillery positions of our army were occupied by a sneak attack by the Qing army! ”

Yan Yingyuan said with a frightened expression.
