In the Qing camp, a high platform was quickly erected, and Hauge and several Manchurian soldiers climbed up to look down on the entire battlefield.

The sound of trumpets and war drums was heard endlessly in the camp, flags were waved, and countless green battalion soldiers who had just broken into the camp were urging the officers to take up arms and guard the camp before they could breathe.

Clear the camp on all sides, the camp gate is wide open, nearly 20,000 eight banner iron horsemen, respectively lined up in several phalanxes, just waiting for Haoge's order, they will immediately kill out of the camp.

At this time, the Qing army infantry soldiers formed a formation under the wall, and resisted the attack of the Western army with a large camp, while the cavalry was arranged at the camp gate on all sides, ready to rush out at any time and wander outside.

The Qing army's nearly 50,000 foot cavalry was slightly scattered, and they were hurriedly in place, and Haoge and Meng Qiaofang, who were a little embarrassed, observed the Western army surrounding the Qing camp from all sides on the high platform.

Zhang Wenxiu in the east has the least troops, only more than 10,000 people, but the murderous spirit is the heaviest, Zhang Nengqi in the south is second, there are 20,000 horses, the queue is strict, slowly like a forest, and the troops of Zhang Dingguo in the north of Jitou Pass, because of the barrier wall, it is impossible to judge at present, but he did not line up the troops under the city, and cooperate with several western armies, which made Hao Ge feel slightly puzzled.

To the west is Zhang Xianzhong's 50,000 main forces, and Zhang Kewang's 20,000 troops, the momentum is the most huge, the banner stretches, the swords and guns are dazzling, and there is a cavalry of more than 2,000 people, wandering outside the infantry formation.

Zhang Xianzhong swept the world, and fought in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Sichuan and other places, even when Chongzhen accepted the Ming Dynasty for ten years, there were still 40,000 people, which was different from Li Zicheng who was beaten to only eighteen horsemen, Zhang Xianzhong has always had a considerable number of troops in his hands.

The thief fights with the official army, the most important thing is speed, Zhang Xianzhong can fight thousands of miles, the east and the west, and choose the weak link of the official army, because every time he occupies a place, other items are not valued, only horses and mules and horses will inevitably be included in the army.

After several years of accumulation, Zhang Xianzhong bought some horses from the people in Qinghai, and also made up such a small-scale cavalry.

Hauge watched, this was probably the largest cavalry of the Western Army they had encountered since the battle with the Western Army, and its momentum came all over the field, and the roaring hooves shook the heavens and the earth, and the sound was terrifying.

Although the number of cavalry of this Western Army was less than one-tenth of that of the Qing cavalry, Hauge knew that today he wanted to take advantage of the cavalry and launch an attack while the enemy formation was not successful.

At this time, Hauge retracted his gaze, and he decided to ignore the 70,000 Western troops in the west for now, and instead set his sights on Zhang Wenxiu's army, which had the least troops.

In this battle, there were few Qing soldiers, and the Western army, Haoge had no way to break Zhang Xianzhong's main force, so the final point was easy and then difficult, accumulating a lot, and preparing to attack Zhang Wenxiu first.

At this time, Zhang Wenxiu's department had stopped five miles away from the Qing camp and did not continue to move towards the Qing camp, but he did not move, but Hao Ge was about to move.

As the eldest son of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, he fought with the Qing soldiers since he was a child, under the account of Huang Taiji, he was the first in everything, and was valued by Huang Taiji, and the ministers of the two yellow flags were also sincerely supported.

At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong's large array in the west had 2,000 cavalry of the Western Army to protect the formation, but Zhang Wenxiu did not, he decided to defeat Zhang Wenxiu first.

"The herald is the Blue Banner Gushan Ezhen Bayan, go out of the Dongying Gate, and outflank Zhang Wenxiu with Xingne." Hauge gave the order decisively without consulting anyone.

As soon as the military order came out, the drums and horns of the Qing camp suddenly sounded, and at the east gate of the Qing army camp, a column of blue-armored cavalry suddenly turned over and got on their horses.

At this time, the blue flag on the high platform waved forward, and the three thousand blue-armored cavalry slowly opened out of the camp gate, and then slowly increased their speed and killed the western army in the distance.

Counting the 2,000 white-armored Mongolian soldiers brought out by Xingne before, there were more than 5,000 Eight Banner soldiers who came out to attack the formation, Zhang Wenxiu led 10,000 horses to line up, and there was no cavalry to shelter in front of the formation, how could this resist the outflanking of the Qing army's 5,000 cavalry?

Seeing the Eight Banners cavalry attacking, Zhang Wenxiu was not panicked, and the men and horses of his department were still in an orderly formation, with spears, swords and shields in front, bows and crossbows, and bird guns in the middle, antlers in front of the formation to reject horses, fixed with ropes, and bowls behind obstacles, and soldiers loaded gunpowder and ready to fire at any time.

The Western Army has been planning for this battle for more than two months, and knows that it will not be able to avoid a decisive battle with the Qing army on the plains, so it has already made a lot of preparations, plus Zhang Wenxiu's troops have been tug-of-war with the Qing soldiers in Yangxian County for nearly two months, and the soldiers have been tempered by the war, so they are not panicked even in the face of the 5,000 Eight Banners.

After leaving the camp, he and the white-armored Mongolians who were wandering outside, one left and one right, the intention could not be more obvious, that is, to attack Zhang Wenxiu's left and right sides, and to outflank.

Infantry against cavalry, multiple phalanxes, the purpose is to guard against the impact of cavalry, and to do this, the infantry formation must be thick enough, that is, there must be enough depth, so that the enemy cavalry can not chisel through, but the 10,000 people of the phalanx, the thickness is enough, the waist must be narrow, this is like a fixed area of the rectangle, you guarantee his length, you can't keep his width.

Usually, in this kind of infantry formation, both ribs need cavalry to guard both wings, otherwise the phalanx will be easily stopped and killed by enemy cavalry.

This kind of formation is based on the Wu three-fold formation arranged in the Song Dynasty according to the terrain, but at the moment, Zhang Wenxiu has no cavalry, and he ranks the circle formation with the strongest defensive power.

It's just that his circle array is not a circle, but an ellipse, the circle array is characterized by strong defense, but lacks attack power, Zhang Wenxiu is listed as a follower, obviously not satisfied with being passively beaten, he should have a big plan in his heart, since he has given up part of his defensive power, there must be other changes in the formation.

At this time, the Qing army carried out outflanking left and right, that is, to avoid the front, but to attack the oval waist that was relatively weak in defense, attacking its two ribs, and trying to break Zhang Wenxiu's waist, so that the western army's position was in chaos.

If the Qing army succeeds, and the cavalry repeatedly impacts a few back and forth in the formation, then Zhang Wenxiu's soldiers and horses will definitely be scattered, and Zhang Xianzhong's strategy of surrounding on all sides will basically be over, and the battle situation will be unfavorable at that time, and Haoge can also abandon the green camp and calmly withdraw from the battlefield from the east.

However, Zhang Wenxiu is one of the four kings, how can the name of the king of Funan be called in vain? \u000bZhang Wenxiu was in the formation, seeing the Qing soldiers in two ways, rushing towards the top of Mount Tai, he didn't even move his eyelids.

At this time, the artillery of the Western Army was lined up in front of the formation, the muzzles of the black holes were high, the ammunition had been filled, and the gunners with torches in their hands stared at the galloping enemy horses, without fear.

"Fire!" Zhang Wenxiu gave an order, and the army ordered the flag to wave.

Although the firearms of the Western army were not as elite as those of the Ming army, they were the farthest weapons they fartthed.

Although this kind of firearm, except for the earth-shattering sound, actually does not have much lethality, but the sergeants of the Western Army listened to the sound and watched the Qing army being smashed off their horses, and their hearts were boosted, which could boost the morale of the Western Army. \u000b more than a dozen guns, each fired at the two Qing armies, the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was cast with lugs, which allowed the artillery to adjust the elevation angle, so that the gunner could easily adjust the range of the artillery, and in the first round of shelling, the gunners adjusted the artillery to the maximum elevation angle. \u000b "Boom~" A loud sound came, more than a dozen iron projectiles brought up gunsmoke, roaring out from the muzzle, and the Western Sergeant saw the black cannonball draw an arc in the air, fell into the enemy group, smashed on the ground and splashed a piece of stone and soil, and the Western Army suddenly thundered with joy.
