In mid-to-late November, the cold wind gusted inside and outside Changping Prefecture, and the flags of the Qing army deployed inside and outside the city were blown loudly.

In this battle, Huang Taiji did not defend Changping Prefecture, but pulled the banner soldiers of the Qing army to ten miles north of Changping Prefecture and set up a formation in the wilderness.

Xu Ming led the cavalry battalion soldiers to kill quickly, and was immediately forced to stop by 300,000 Qing soldiers.

Looking at the Qing army that was arranging in the distance, Xu Ming's face was full of excitement, and he finally caught up with these dog tartars, and this battle was bound to be a good one.

Du Zhongming, a guerrilla general in the middle of the country, shouted and said: "Look, general, under the cover of the bright yellow umbrella, it must be the old dog of Huang Taiji, let's kill him and cut him!" ”

Xu Ming glanced at Du Zhongming, he was brave, but he was not brainless: "Don't talk nonsense, the Qing army is hundreds of thousands, let's rush up alone to send people to the head?" ”

"What then?"

"Retreat a few miles one after another, and wait for the governor to arrive with the main force. Send someone to report to the governor immediately, my cavalry battalion has caught up with the main force of the Qing army, please come to the aid quickly! ”

To the south of the cavalry battalion, Huang Taiji rode his horse and held a clairvoyant mirror, only to see that the cavalry battalion of the new army was slowly retreating, and he was a little worried. Liu Yan only used one battalion of soldiers and horses to drag his 300,000 army, which was really a good means.

"Order all flags to be deployed as soon as possible, and wait for work!"

"Huh!"

This time, Huang Taiji deployed the flags of the Han army in the first line, and the 100,000 troops of the Han army, including the two yellow flags, the red flag, the two blue flags, and the white flags, were divided into two formations, the white flag and the two blue flags were the first formation, and the two yellow flags and the red flag were the second formations, and the firepower was deployed in echelons in order to use the firearms of the Han army flag to kill and injure Liu Yan's troops as much as possible.

Behind the flags of the Han army

It is the Mongolian Eight Banners, and more than 90,000 Mongolian iron cavalry are divided into more than a dozen cavalry formations, spreading in the wilderness, as if reproducing the might of Genghis Khan's army.

In the rear of the Mongolian Eight Banners, more than 30,000 iron cavalry led by the Tumut Left Banner, the Left and Right Wing Central Banner of Horqin, the Ao Han and Alu Banners, and the prince Beile has also completed the formation.

Behind the Mongols, there were the eight banners of Manchuria, Huang Taiji led the two yellow flags for the middle army, the two white flags of Dolgon and Duoduo for the front army, the two red flags of Daishan and Dudu for the left wing, and the three people of Haoge, Abatai and Zilharang led the two blue flags for the right wing.

After Huang Taiji deployed more than 300,000 troops, the wilderness in the north of Changping Prefecture was boundless, and the Qing army's various armors and banners occupied almost the entire land, spreading to the end of the sky in the distance.

Looking at the various banner formations, Huang Taiji finally found a familiar feeling and pride in his heart, this battle is going to have a decisive battle with Liu Yan, but he wants to see who is in this world!

After the deployment of the banners of the Qing army, they began to rest in place, Huang Taiji originally thought that Liu Yan's troops would not arrive until the afternoon, or even at night, and the warriors of the Qing Dynasty could also get enough rest time to take the initiative by waiting for work.

However, to Huang Taiji's disappointment, just after noon, an army of more than 100,000 led by Liu Yan appeared in the north, and the unique war drums of the Ming army spread through the cold wind, making the soldiers and horses of the Qing army commotion.

Huang Taiji frowned slightly, raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked north

Face, I saw that the battalions of Liu Yan's department were moving forward in formation, and the front of each battalion was protected by a large number of earth-wheeled vehicles, and there were countless bird gunners in the middle, and there were not many hand-to-hand combat soldiers such as pikemen in Liu Yan's army, and Huang Taiji couldn't help but marvel.

"Liu Yanjun carried so many earthen carts, how could he march so quickly!"

What Huang Taiji didn't know was that the earthwheels in Liu Yan's army were all temporarily transformed, originally used to carry the soldiers and sundries of various battalions, and when they arrived near the battlefield, a large number of soldiers were used to temporarily dig and arrange the earthwheels.

Soon, Liu Yanbu stopped three miles away from the Qing army, and then more than 100,000 soldiers began to roar in unison, three times "Tiger!" Tiger! Tiger! After that, he began to sing military songs, and a unique song of "The Final Army of the Han Dynasty" sounded in Liu Yanjun's army, which made Huang Taiji and other flag lords and princes Baylor look solemn, such an enemy army, such a morale, I am afraid this battle will not be easy to fight!

In this battle, Liu Yan put Qian Yan's artillery battalion at the forefront, and the red-clothed artillery soldiers in his battalion were the absolute main force in this battle.

Liu Yan took the two new battalions as the main force of the frontal attack, the left and right battalions on the two wings, the pro-guard battalion as the middle army, and the rear battalion to guard the rear of the army to prevent the Qing army's iron cavalry from surrounding the rear to raid.

The second, third, and fifth battalions of the garrison were formed in the rear of the Chinese army as reserve forces.

It was already afternoon at this time, and the sky was covered with heavy clouds, which obscured the sun, and the cold wind howled in the wilderness, and in the dim light, the sky and the earth were even more depressed.

The two armies of more than 400,000 soldiers and horses have been arrayed, and the big battle is about to break out!

Huang Taiji has been thousands of miles away

In the mirror, he saw the red-clothed cannons in Liu Yan's army, which numbered hundreds of them, which made Huang Taiji's face very ugly, so he directly ordered the Han army to advance one mile forward with each banner, and then concentrated the artillery of each banner to start an artillery battle with Liu Yan's troops.

With the distance between the two armies now more than three miles, the vast majority of the Franco cannons equipped with the banners of the Han army cannot hit Liu Yanbu, but the red-coated cannons in the Qianqiao artillery battalion can easily hit the military formations of the various banners of the Han army. Therefore, it is necessary to rush directly before the flags of the Han army are bombarded and compete with Liu Yan for firepower.

"Forward!"

Shi Tingzhu's Han Army is the white flag, the Han army is the blue flag of the Han army, and the Han army is still pleased with the blue flag are all the troops of the first formation, at this time the three of them each urged the soldiers and horses to move forward, and the Han army behind the red flag and the two yellow flags also moved forward.

The 100,000-strong army was mighty, surging forward like waves, Qian Jian stood in the artillery array holding a clairvoyant mirror, and couldn't help but smash his mouth, and said: "Good girl, the Tartars are really rich, and they have equipped these two Tartars with so many cannons and firearms!" ”

Then Qian Yan sneered and said, "It's a pity, it's a bit of a waste to use these firearms for the second tartar!" ”

I saw Qian Jian roaring: "The red-clothed cannon is always ready, blow it up for me!" ”

Rumble!

In an instant, ninety-six red-coated cannons began to fire a salvo, aiming at the artillery of the first formation of the Han army flag, and the first round of salvo fire was concentrated in the army of the Han army's white flag, and seven or eight of the fifty artillery pieces were concentrated, and the surrounding gunners were killed and wounded, and they immediately ran around.

Shi Tingzhu saw that the Ming army's artillery fire was so accurate, and his face turned pale with fright.

Constantly shouting loudly, ordering the departments to speed up the progress.

Because the Qing army was forced to temporarily line up in the field for a decisive battle, in addition to the Manchurian Eight Banners in front of the Eight Banners, the rest of the Han Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Mongolian Formations of the Outer Domains, there were no sandbags, and at this time, Shi Tingzhu and the soldiers of the Han Army could only brave the artillery fire and advance step by step.

"Put!"

Another round of salvo fire, ninety-six shells once again accurately landed in the Han army's Zhengbai Banner formation, the special care of the Zhengbai Banner artillery, five were destroyed again, and the remaining gunners began to flee in horror, no matter how the surrounding soldiers blocked and suppressed, it was useless.

was killed by a shell of about ten catties, or was killed by igniting gunpowder, or was killed by a knife or gun, as long as it is a normal person, he will choose the latter.

Shi Tingzhu estimated that it was only about two miles away from Liu Yan's artillery battalion at this time, and hurriedly ordered the advance to be stopped, and the rest of the banners also stopped advancing one after another.

At this time, the artillery team of the Han army with the white flag suffered two rounds of salvo fire from the red-coated cannons, and there were only more than 30 of the fifty artillery pieces left, and the gunners were almost gone, and they had basically lost the ability to fight back, so Shi Tingzhu could only watch the two blue flags of the Han army fire back.

The Han army set the blue flag Gushan Ezhen is still gratifying, and the Han army is the blue flag Gushan Ezhen Zu Zerun almost simultaneously ordered to open artillery, and the two flags and 100 Franc machine guns began to concentrate on bombarding the new army's artillery camp position.

The shells roared, Qian Jian squatted on the ground, put his hands against the earthen cart in front of him, and shouted loudly: "The Franco machine guns always bombard the artillery array of the two Tatars, and the rocket artillery always shoots and kills the enemy's soldiers and horses, give me a blast!" ”

One hundred and forty-four Furlong cannons, one hundred

Forty-four rocket artillery vehicles opened fire one after another.

In the formation of the Han army's blue flag artillery team, a cannonball hit straight at a gunner, turning it into a cloud of blood mist, and then the shell continued to weaken, breaking the arms of three gunners in a row, and finally it was heavily embedded in the ground.

Not far away, another shell smashed directly into the front end of a cannon, smashing the heavy cannon to the ground, and the three Han flag gunners who were loading the artillery were immediately injured and brought up by the artillery, two of them had their hands broken by the huge force, and one of them was crushed by the falling artillery, and he howled miserably, but no one around could take care of him.

At this time, the artillery arrays of the various banners of the Han army were full of shells falling like raindrops, and those gunners were all panicked to load and fire, and there was no time to care.

Shang Kexi, under the protection of dozens of guards holding heavy shields, supervised the formation loudly in the military formation, but unexpectedly, a large number of rockets fell into the military formation, and the casualties of the Han army's blue-flag-inlaid soldiers and horses suddenly increased dramatically.

The power of these rockets is so powerful that even a rocket can shoot through several people, and the arrows can also burst open, igniting the people and things around them.

And Zu Zerun's Han Army Zhenglan Banner was no better, the artillery was suppressed by the new army artillery battalion, and the casualties of the soldiers and horses were not small, at this time it was just struggling to support.

On the other side, Shi Tingzhu's Han army was the most embarrassed, and could only stand in place and be beaten passively, and there was no means to counterattack at this distance.

At this time, Shi Tingzhu looked at the military formation that had begun to waver, gritted his teeth and made a decision, and directly ordered the Han army to be white

Continue to advance and prepare to attack the positions of the artillery battalions of the new army.

"Your Majesty is watching us from behind, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the master, kill me!"

Shi Tingzhu roared with righteousness, the Han army was in the white flag at this time, there were only more than 3,000 firefighters left, and more than 8,000 hand-to-hand soldiers, the casualties were already very large, if it weren't for the Mongols and Manchurian armies behind to suppress the formation, and the second array of Han army banner soldiers and horses blocking the retreat, it is estimated that these soldiers and horses have begun to retreat.

At this time, the white flag of the Han army was forced forward by Shi Tingzhu, and more than 10,000 people also began to move forward quickly, walking for about a mile, the original military formation was no longer visible, and it was completely more than 10,000 sheep walking.

However, Shi Tingzhu didn't bother to pay attention to these, as long as he could rush to the position of the new army artillery camp and kill those new army gunners who couldn't open fire, even if he fought out the white flag soldiers and horses of the Han army, it would be a great achievement in Huang Taiji!

It's just that Shi Tingzhu couldn't see Qian Yan's expression at this time, and he was still looking forward to his vision of making a miraculous feat.

At this time, Qian Jian looked at the soldiers and horses of the Han army who were rushing up in a hurry, and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "Tiger Zun Cannon is always ready, replace all of them with scattered bullets for me, and concentrate firepower to hit the white flag of the Han army!" ”
