The breeze blew, Wu Sangui suddenly felt a little cold, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, feeling that the situation was beyond his control.

Strictly speaking, there was not much of a problem with the strategy of the Jin State, but once the Ming army did not move in the direction that the Jin army expected, then the strategy of the Jin army would have gone wrong.

Haoge's arrangement, in fact, is just like his character, taking care of the front and the north and south lines, and the result is that the power of the Jin army in the three directions is actually in a state of equilibrium, and the local advantages are not obvious.

Of course, this is mainly related to the fact that there are many warlords in the Jin State and they are not subordinate to each other.

The current strategy of the Ming army is obviously to sacrifice the other two directions and concentrate heavy forces on the southern front, in order to form a huge advantage in the local area, so as to leverage the entire battlefield.

At this time, the advance of the Ming army was already approaching, and the distance between the two sides was pulled into two miles, and if it was closer, the six-pound cannon could be hit.

Wu Sangui originally thought that his task this time was relatively easy, after all, it was not to face the main force of the Ming army, even if he couldn't win, he would have time to run, but in the current situation, he was entangled by the main force of the Ming army, and if he couldn't win, then his loss would be great.

For a while, Wu Sangui's forehead was sweating, but it was obviously impossible to run at the beginning. If the southern front was defeated and the Ming army went around from him to the back of Hauge, then the fortifications of the Jin army would be in vain.

If he can't stop it, once the Ming army detours from the southern front, the Jin army will collapse in the whole formation, and when the horse army in Lintong is released, the Ming army will inevitably chase for hundreds of miles, and the Jin army will be completely finished.

Now Wu Sangui can only take responsibility and go all out to resist the Ming army, hoping that Meng Qiaofang on the northern front can make achievements and break through the northern line of the Ming army, so that the Jin country still has a great chance of winning.

Wang Pingfan, who was on the side, saw that Wu Sangui's face was cloudy, he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and whispered: "Lord Wang, how close is it, if you retreat, the army will inevitably panic, and it will be difficult to stand up again." ”

Wu Sangui's expression is constantly changing, he is an egoist, and the crux of the matter now is that he is reluctant to invest all his strength in Dajin, fight with the Ming army, break through the northern front for Meng Qiaofang, and buy time for Haoge to transfer troops from the new.

Once he invests all his troops and horses, even if he blocks the onslaught of the Ming army's southern front, he is afraid that he will suffer heavy losses later.

In a battle between heaven and man, Wu Sangui was silent for a moment, finally nodded, and snorted coldly: "The king thief really deceived me, he actually chose the southern front as the main attack, he thought that this king was a soft persimmon, how could he pinch it?"

After saying that, Wu Sangui was not watching, and he finally did not choose to preserve his strength as he had done several times before, but decided to fight.

At this time, several generals were already waiting anxiously under the lookout car, and as soon as Wu Sangui came, Wu Zhimao, He Chengzhi, Man Yunlong and other generals surrounded him, "Lord Wang, what's the situation?" ”

Wu Sangui smiled, "The king thief can afford this king, and there are 120,000 people, and we are the main direction of the thief." ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and panicked, but no one said they wanted to run. Wu Jun has already given up Hanzhong, where else can he run? Several Wu generals discussed for a while, and finally Chen Junji spoke: "What can the prince do?"

"We came all the way here from Liaodong, and we can't go back to our hometown, but we have to keep our new home." Wu Sangui glanced at several generals and said in a deep voice, "This king believes in everyone, no one wants to float all the time!" ”

It's a bit sentimental to say, most people yearn for stability, and few people want to be adrift for the rest of their lives. These Liao people, in this era, since entering the customs, they are actually like a homeless man, they are fighting for the Qing Dynasty and Jin, and they also want to get a place to settle down and multiply.

In the past few years, they can be said to have lived the most peaceful life in Hanzhong, and after listening to Wu Sangui's words, everyone couldn't help but glance at each other, and then clasped their fists together, "We will listen to the prince." ”

"Well, the king thief underestimates this king, and today this king will give the king thief a little color!" Saying that, Wu Sangui returned to the front of the formation, and then pointed at the Ming formation in the distance with a horsewhip, "In this battle, the soldiers don't need to panic, the Ming thieves came to the southern front with 120,000, and the troops on the west and northern lines will not be too much, so as long as we resist, King Yongping can break through the northern line, and the situation is still a two-sided attack." ”

Chen Junji, Wu Zhimao and others nodded, the gap between the strength of the Ming and Jin armies is not large, the Ming army has invested more troops on the southern front, and the number of troops in other directions is less, the Jin army is not without a chance, but the Wu army has to make great sacrifices for this war.

It is not easy for Dajin to have today, Wu Jun is under the wing of Dajin, life is still good, and the key is that they can't find a home now, so they can only do their best for Dajin.

Wu Sangui saw that the expressions of the generals were not so solemn, so he became resolute, and then said: "The Ming army on the opposite side has about 120,000, but the Ming army only has two brushes. Our tactics remain unchanged, the infantry army goes first, and the Ming army fights in a horizontal formation. After the Ming army's front was scattered, the Ma army only pounced on the Ming army's central army, as long as the opponent's main general was killed, we still had a chance to reverse on the southern front. ”

"Right now, it can only be like this, I'll wait to listen to the prince's orders!" Chen Junji and others hugged their fists.

"In that case, He Chengzhi, Man Yunlong, Guo Tianchun, the three of you go and prepare." Wu Sangui nodded, and then said one after another: "Jun Ji, you go to the west immediately, inform Your Majesty of the situation here of this king, and ask him to send troops to reinforce this king." ”

The generals took orders and rode away. Wu Sangui turned over his horse again, looked at the advancing Ming army, and his face leaked a solemn look.

At this time, on the vast land, 120,000 Ming troops spread out a battle line several miles long and came south.

The front of the Ming army is a horizontal formation, the Ming army that has undergone strict training takes the battalion as a unit, and is lined up into three lines, each front has three rows of soldiers, the front and back of the front and back are 50 steps apart, and the left and right are 20 steps apart, and after the gap between the two battalions, there must be a battalion on the rear front line to block the gap in front.

The front three horizontal formations are shaped like the "water barrier" hexagram of the eight trigrams. Behind the horizontal formation, there were Ming army formations, accompanied by 6,000 cavalry.

The formation of the Ming army seems simple, but in fact, there are many difficulties in the operation, the front is several miles long, it is difficult for the soldiers to maintain the formation, not fast, not too slow, once the front is chaotic, then there is only the fate of being slaughtered.

For the Ming army, the formation is the combat effectiveness, the Ming soldiers for the formation, carried out repeated drills, the soldiers listened to the drums, according to the fixed pace of the march, after strict queue training of the Ming army in an orderly manner.

The first row of soldiers of the Ming army, Qi Qi held the fire gun obliquely in front of his chest, and the soldiers behind him resisted the fire gun on their shoulders, stabbing the spur into the sky, shining with silver light, as if it was a moving gun forest.

At this time, a trumpet suddenly sounded, and the commanders of the battalions immediately shouted: "The whole battalion stops!" ”

The large formation of the Ming army stopped in the advance, and the three fronts, although not very straight, were not bent either.

In the middle of the Ming army, Li Guo rode on a high-headed horse, stood under the banner of Daxu, turned the horse's head, and said loudly to the surrounding generals: "This commander doesn't say much, only asks you two questions?" ”

Many generals had solemn faces, and when he asked, Li Guo pulled out the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head again, and then waved the horsewhip proudly, pointed to the golden array in the distance, and asked loudly: "Soldiers, whose family is the piece of land that the enemy is stepping on?" ”

The general was slightly stunned, and immediately someone reacted and responded loudly, "Da Ming!" ”

Li Guo bowed his head with satisfaction, and asked again: "Who is the grass and trees on the ground?" ”

"It's all our Ming." This time, everyone understood and chanted in unison.

"Good!" Li Guo shouted, and then said to everyone: "Since all the generals know, then today we will defeat the gold thief in front of Ben Shuai, even if it is one person, this time we will take back Guanzhong!" ”
