Seen from above, the large array of nine hollow phalanxes was like a reef in the sea, as if it had stood here since ancient times, and it still stood despite the impact of the violent waves on him.

"Lord Belle, the artillery of the Ming army is too powerful, let the brothers retreat and breathe a sigh of relief!" A general in his forties struggled to control the still frightened war horse under his crotch, came to Yue Tuo's side, and anxiously said to Du Du that he was the Gushan Ezhen Solatu with the red flag.

"Stand back?" Yue Tuo glanced at Soratul, pointed to the corpses in front of him and the wounded soldiers wailing everywhere, and said coldly: "If you retreat now, are you worthy of those dead warriors?" Besides, the Great Khan is watching from behind, if I dare to order a retreat without authorization, can you believe that you and I will hang our heads on the flagpole for public display in a quarter of an hour? ”

"But we have now killed and injured thousands of warriors, and the Ming army has sprinkled thistles in front of the battle, and our war horses really can't rush it! Besides, we can send someone to ask the Great Khan for an order while attacking, as long as the Great Khan agrees, let's retreat, can't we? Soratul continued to persuade without giving up.

"Shut up!" Yue Tuo's gaze became fierce, he looked at Soratu and said word by word: "If you are afraid, go to the back, and when we are all killed, you will go back and report to the Great Khan, and now without my order, if anyone retreats without permission, he will not blame me for enforcing military law!" ”

"I'm scared?" Soratu is not a good person, I saw him say loudly: "Since Lord Belle thinks that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, then ask Lord Belle to press the formation here, and I will personally go to the front to command!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Yue Tuo to speak, Soratu shouted: "Warriors with red flags, follow me!" ”

After saying that, he raised his whip and twitched the buttocks of the war horse, and the war horse let out a neighing and galloped forward, and behind him were dozens of Goshha who belonged to him.

Seeing this, a Yue Tuo's Goshha couldn't help but snort coldly on the side: "Hmph, this Sorathu is too disagreeable, he dares to be so presumptuous because he is a close confidant of Big Baylor, if it weren't for Baylor's benevolence, you would have taken him down a long time ago if he acted on his own on the battlefield." ”

"Alright, don't talk about it." Yue Tuo glared at this Goshha dissatisfied, "No matter how Soratu is, you can't say it as a slave, if you say another nonsense, be careful that the master whips you!" ”

"Huh!" Seeing that Yue Tuo was angry, this Goshha stopped his mouth stupidly.

The attack of the Houjin Tartars can be said to be very difficult, it can be said that the distance they advance is not measured by how many meters or how many steps they use but paved with corpses, they are facing the explosion of cannonballs and stepping on the sharp thistles terrestris towards the position of the Jiangning army frantically, and at their feet are corpses one by one. These corpses have war horses, as well as the infantry soldiers of the blue flag who came to die in time and the horse armor soldiers with red flags who have just died in battle, and some of the horse armor soldiers and horses were blown up, so they dismounted and held their weapons and continued to charge towards the Ming army.

"Nurhachi is really worthy of a generation of heroes who founded the Dajin Kingdom, and the army under his command is also worthy of being one of the most effective troops in this era, it's a pity!"

Yang Feng muttered, seeing that the enemy cavalry had rushed to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the phalanx, and this was already a dead end for artillery shooting, he took a deep breath and took the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Artillery battalion, throw 10,000 enemies at the front of the big array!" Break the connection with the Tartars! ”

"Whoosh ......"

With Yang Feng's order, one after another 10,000 black and swarthy tongues of fire flew out of the phalanx, they landed a hundred to two hundred meters away from the front of the phalanx, and then exploded, a huge explosion accompanied by thick smoke covered the Tartars who had finally rushed to the front of the formation......

"Great Khan, we can't fight like this anymore, it's not easy for us Jurchens to cultivate a warrior, we can't just fold here without any meaning!" In the main formation not far away, Daishan finally couldn't stand it anymore, and begged Nurhachi to withdraw the people first.

At this time, Nurhachi's face was pale, and his eyes flashed and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he turned his head and said in a cold tone: "Huang Taiji, Ben Khan ordered you to lead 6,000 soldiers and horses with the Yellow Banner to stand by outside, once Du Du or Mang Gurtai has signs of failure, Ben Khan will personally lead the Yellow Banner to attack from the front, and you are leading the Yellow Banner to attack the Ming army from both wings, do you understand?" ”

"What?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and Nurhachi ordered the Yellow Flag and the Yellow Flag to attack in person? What kind of troops are the two yellow flags, it is an army that has been personally controlled by Nurhachi since the establishment of the Eight Banners, and it is also the most elite army in the Dajin Kingdom, and now Nurhachi has handed over the yellow flag to Huang Taiji to attack with him, what does this mean? This shows that Nurhachi is really going to play with his life this time!

Dai Shan's face turned a little pale, and he knelt down and sobbed with a puff: "Father Khan, the two yellow flags are your pro-army, and you must not move until you have to." The Han people also said that victory and defeat are just a common thing in soldiers, even if we can't take Jinzhou this time, it's not a big deal, and we will fight back next time, so why ......"

"Shut up!" Before Dai Shan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Nurhachi, only to see him angrily reprimanded: "Dai Shan, if you obstruct Ben Khan again, Ben Khan will take you down and behead you for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army!" ”

Seeing that Nurhachi was angry, Huang Taiji hurriedly pulled Dai Shan aside to stop him from talking, if he picked up political talent, Huang Taiji was more than a step stronger than Dai Shan, and he also knew why Nurhachi did this.

Nurhachi, as the founder of the Dajin Kingdom, this time he raised most of the country's troops to drive the expedition in person, and it was already disgraceful not to take Jinzhou City, but the Jurchens were not very good at attacking the city, and it was understandable that they could not take it, but now they are dealing with a Ming army with less than one-tenth of their number in the field.

If this Ming army cannot be wiped out cleanly and completely, the prestige that Nurhachi has accumulated for decades will inevitably be ruined. And the Jurchens pursued the law of the jungle, and Nurhachi's prestige was built by virtue of his invincible image for decades, so even in order to maintain his prestige, he had to wipe out the Jiangning army.

At this moment, Dolgon suddenly pointed to the front and shouted in surprise: "Father Khan, look, the fifth brother's people have rushed into the Ming army's array." ”

Everyone tried to look, and sure enough, they saw that hundreds of cavalry had rushed into the large array of the Ming army under the Zhengbai Banner commanded by Mang Gurtai, and they were rushing towards the largest phalanx in the middle.

Excited, Dorgon jumped up and shouted, "Good...... Great, rush in. As long as we open the breakthrough, we will win, that Yang Feng must be in the middle of the phalanx, as long as we can defeat Yang Feng's phalanx, the Jiang Ning army will lose! ”

As Dolgon said, when the Ming army's large array was broken through a little, the rest of the Houjin cavalry swarmed like hungry wolves smelling blood, and poured into it along the passage of the embankment. Seeing this scene, Nurhachi's expression, which was still with a straight face, also softened, and it seemed that his positive yellow flag and inlaid yellow flag did not need to be dispatched.

Among the people, only Dai Shan showed an anxious look on his face, he had personally experienced the strength of the hollow phalanx of the Jiangning army, and more than 12,000 iron cavalry led by Yue Tuo in the first battle of Withered Grass Ridge a few months ago fell into the trap of the Jiangning army, and only 2,000 of the 4,000 cavalry of the Horqin tribe fled back in the end, and the thousands of cavalry with the red flag and the blue flag also lost thousands of people, and finally he and Amin had to flee back to Shengjing in embarrassment.

The battle a few months ago seems to be still vivid, and now seeing that Mang Gurtai is going to repeat his mistakes again, it would be a lie to say that Dai Shan was not in a hurry, but now he didn't dare to explain it to Nurhachi. Nurhachi had already warned him just now that if he dared to shake the army's heart again, he would use military law to punish him, and Daishan could guarantee that if he jumped out to obstruct it now, Nurhachi's temper would really cut off his head and sacrifice the flag.

"Mang Gurtai is finished!"

Dai Shan closed his eyes painfully, things were indeed as Dai Shan thought. When Mang Gurtai personally led the remaining thousands of cavalry with the blue flag to rush into the Jiangning army's large array, they were surprised to find that there were bursts of deafening gunfire around them, and those gunshots were almost close at hand, and there were left and right.

The Jiangning Army's large array was composed of nine hollow phalanxes, and the interval between the front and back of each hollow phalanx was one hundred and fifty meters. This distance has also been carefully calculated, and the maximum firing range of the "Brown Bes" flintlock pistol equipped by the Jiangning Army is 150 meters, and the effective range is 80 meters.

Each hollow phalanx is separated by one hundred and fifty meters to ensure that the sergeant will not be hit by his own stray bullets to the greatest extent, and even if it hits, this distance will reduce the damage to the own sergeant to the minimum, and at this distance, the Jiangning army can kill the enemy to the greatest extent.

Now Mang Gurtai led the remaining nearly 4,000 cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner to rush into the Jiangning Army's large array, and immediately suffered the most fierce blow from the Jiangning Army.

Dense buckshot continued to shoot at the Tartars, and a cavalryman was constantly shot and fell off his horse. Many cavalrymen rode horses and waved their swords to kill the Ming army, but before they could rush to the front of the formation, they would be beaten into a hornet's nest by lead bullets fired from nowhere, but in less than a quarter of an hour, the cavalry of more than 4,000 Zhenglan Banner who rushed into the large array lost most of them, and only Mang Gurtai was still leading hundreds of cavalry to rush left and right.

A quarter of an hour passed, seeing that the cavalry around him was getting fewer and fewer, Mang Gurtai couldn't help but despair, and at this time, a Goshha beside him was red-eyed, and said loudly: "Lord Belle, we have been tricked, this big array of the Ming army is a trap, he specially lured us to death, the slave still protects you and kills you first, right?" ”

Mang Gurtai looked at the dwindling cavalry around him and said to Goshha with a miserable smile, "Do you think I can still get out alive, we only have two choices today, either break through the Ming army's big array or die here, there is no third way to go at all, but our Jurchen warriors can't die in vain, everyone rushes to the Ming army big formation in the middle with me, as long as I can kill that Yang Feng, the master will not die in vain." ”

At this point, Mang Gurtai was about to ride his horse and rush towards the phalanx in the middle.

And at this moment, a Goshha suddenly pointed behind them and shouted in surprise: "Look, Lord Belle, it's the Great Khan...... The Great Khan himself has come to meet us! ”

Mang Gurtai looked forward, and immediately saw a bright yellow banner fluttering in the wind in front of him, and countless cavalry wearing yellow armor and red trim strips on the side of the armor were swarming in from all around the large array, and he recognized at a glance that this was the cavalry of his father Khan Nurhachi's personal guard with two yellow flags.

Seeing that Nurhachi had come to his aid in person, Mang Gurtai not only did not rejoice in any joy but became anxious, and without thinking he rode his horse and rushed over, shouting loudly as he ran: "Don't come in, go out...... Get out, here is a trap set by Minggou! ”

Soon, Mang Gurtai led the remaining hundreds of cavalry with the blue flag to join the yellow flag and the yellow flag that had entered the large array, and he also saw an old man wearing bright yellow armor, with a majestic face and a white beard under his chin, this person was not his old son Nurhachi.

Mang Gurtai was so anxious that cold sweat broke out, he rushed to Nurhachi's side and grabbed the reins of his horse, so anxious that he was about to cry: "Father Khan, why are you here, this is a trap, the five thousand warriors of the blue flag are almost exhausted, you better hurry out!" ”

"What are you going out for?" Nurhachi, who was dressed in military uniform, said sharply: "The reason why Ben Khan personally led his troops to attack today is to personally cut off Na Yang Feng's head in front of the battle, otherwise Ben Khan will become the Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom in vain." Ben Khan has seen clearly, that Yang Feng is in the middle of the phalanx, now you follow Ben Khan to kill it, who can take down that Yang Feng's head, Ben Khan will not hesitate to reward him with the king! The warriors of the Dajin Kingdom are all killed with Ben Khan! ”

"Kill!"

As soon as they heard that Nurhachi had actually offered the reward of the king, everyone's eyes were red, and for a while, whether it was a yellow flag or a red flag, all of them rushed towards the middle phalanx, although there were cavalry falling on the road of the charge, but there were still more cavalry rushing towards the middle phalanx one after another.

Nurhachi personally led more than 10,000 elites with yellow and yellow flags to attack, which undoubtedly increased the pressure on the Jiangning army.

When the battle reached this point, the soldiers of the Jiangning Army were also released. Although they continued to shoot the Tartars who rushed into the large array with the firearms in their hands, the Tartars were not given in vain, they shot arrows at the large array while charging, and from time to time a sergeant was shot and fell, and whenever a sergeant fell, he immediately came up to fill his position, and the battle soon entered a white heat.
