After the threat from Suide's side was lifted, Zhao Liangdong had no worries and began to ask the Jin army to speed up the march, but he still sent dozens of scouts and scattered them to reconnoiter and prevent them from being ambushed by the Ming army.

Dozens of scout teams were divided into two groups by him, the first group was smaller, and the other group was within a radius of ten miles, conducting a general search, and the other group was within a range of five miles, conducting a careful search to ensure that it would not enter the ambush circle of the Ming army, and for the enemy troops outside the range, there was no need to worry too much, once the scouts found out, he had enough time to assemble to meet the battle.

If the enemy is not strong, then he will break the enemy, break through the blockade and continue to march to Wubao, if there are too many enemies, then he will choose a suitable terrain to defend himself, and wait for Yan'an to send troops to support.

It has to be said that with the investment of a large number of military expenditures of the Jin State, the training and equipment of the Jin soldiers have been greatly improved.

The 9,000 gold troops wore black cotton armor, iron helmets, armed with self-made fire guns, spears, and waist knives, and a roll of blankets, grain bags, and some cauldrons behind their backs, all neatly and neatly, and the officers with the flags on their backs stood on the side of the road and kept waving their fists, beating the soldiers and urging the army to move quickly.

On the road, only the footsteps of the army and the shouts of the army were heard, and the Jin sergeants and soldiers all followed behind the camp flag, running silently and hurrying.

At this moment, there was a sudden "boom" in the sky in front of him, and a whistle arrow pierced the sky, leaving a trail of green smoke, and then exploded suddenly.

This means that the scout discovered the enemy's situation, and Zhao Liangdong immediately pulled the reins of his horse, raised his hand and shouted: "Stop moving forward!" ”

At this moment, a team of scouts galloped from the front, and the knight horses above jumped down, knelt on one knee, pointed to the front with one hand, and said urgently: "Military gate, ten miles ahead, the Ming army is arrayed to block the way of our army!" ”

Zhao Liangdong grabbed the reins of the horse with his hand, "The Ming army lined up to meet me?" He hesitated slightly, "How many centaurs, are there ambushes around?" ”

"There are more than 4,000 people, and there are no ambushes around!" The scout clenched his fists and said.

Zhao Liangdong frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Explore again!" Broaden your search! ”

The scout clenched his fists, then turned on his horse and galloped away.

Zhao Liangdong thought for a while, and said in his heart, "Wubao Ferry is easy to defend and difficult to attack for the Ming army in the direction of Shanxi, but there is no such problem for me, I don't have to fight Wubao County, I can directly attack the ferry, and even set up artillery near the ferry, which can prevent the Ming army from continuing to transport supplies, and the Ming army may be out of this point and don't want me to get close to the ferry, so they went south to block it." ”

Zhao Liangdong snorted coldly, since he came to seize the ferry, and the Ming army lined up to wait for him, then he had no reason to retreat!

Immediately, Zhao Liangdong waved his hand and said: "The army rests on the spot, the soldiers check the equipment, prepare to eat, and after an hour, continue to advance and break the enemy!" ”

······

Thirty miles south of the Wubao ferry, in the open area on the edge of the Yellow River, when the Jin army, after a little rest, continued to move here, a large crowd of people appeared in front of them, as if a red carpet was laid on the ground.

Thousands of Ming troops sat on the ground, silent, only the autumn wind blew the flag, and the sound of hunting.

Under the banner of Daxu, Li Laiheng stood on horseback, staring at the Jin army that appeared with a cold gaze, he saw the Jin soldier appear in the field of vision, and immediately raised his hand, and the general next to him immediately turned around and shouted: "Get up!" ”

Thousands of Ming troops who were sitting on the ground and "waiting for a long time" heard the voice of the generals, and saw the chess and card officials waving the order flags left and right, and immediately got up in unison, and their clothes and armor rattled.

In an instant, when the four thousand Ming troops stood up, a red forest appeared on the wilderness, and a huge infantry formation was immediately formed. The Ming army, which had been waiting for a long time, each holding a weapon, and in front of the large formation of the infantry army, a large number of self-generated guns, with hanging medicine bottles and projectiles on their bodies, were quickly loading, and then using wooden poles to pour the ammunition into solid.

Three miles away from the Ming army, the advancing Jin army stopped its pace, and the soldiers quickly lined up. The terrain in northern Shaanxi is mostly ravines, which is not suitable for cavalry combat, and both sides are mainly infantry troops, with a small number of sentinels.

Zhao Liangdong came to the front of the formation, took out the clairvoyant mirror to observe the Ming army's formation, it was a rectangular horizontal formation, a large number of musketeers were in the forefront, there were a small number of spears and swords and shields in the back, and there was no Ming artillery, which made him a little unconvinced, and he used the clairvoyant mirror to scan and change, and after making sure that there was no omission, he was convinced that there was indeed no artillery.

"Junmen, the Ming army has no artillery, and the front of the formation is full of firecrackers, let's bombard him with a few cannons, and rush forward directly after disrupting the formation, we will definitely be able to break them!" Sheng Jiading, the deputy general of the Jin Army, also noticed the situation of the Ming army, and ran to Zhao Liangdong's side and said.

Zhao Liangdong didn't reply, could it be that the artillery of the Ming army hadn't been transported across the river yet? You must know that the Ming army is good at artillery, and it cannot be an army without artillery. At that moment, Zhao Liangdong picked up the clairvoyant mirror again, scanned the Ming array, and found no problem, so he looked at both sides of the Ming array, the Yellow River on the left, and a hillside on the right, and the large array of the Ming army was just in the middle, blocking the way of the Jin army.

"Did you probe behind the mountain?" Zhao Liangdong put down the clairvoyant mirror, suddenly pointed to the hillside on the side of the Ming army, turned his head and asked.

A Jin general immediately hugged his fists and said, "Back to the military gate, not yet, the Ming army scouts won't let us approach!" ”

Zhao Liangdong immediately ordered: "You go and explore it yourself!" ”

Hearing this, the Jin general led the order to hold his fists, and led more than a dozen cavalry to rush in front of the golden array and go around the back of the hillside, and the Jin army in front of the military formation also followed towards the hillside, gathering into a cavalry of seventy or eighty people, but the sentry cavalry of the Ming army immediately greeted it and did not let the Jin army approach.

The two cavalry began to fight on the right side, and the cavalry of the Jin army tried to break through several times, but they were blocked by the sentry cavalry of the Ming army, and the elite cavalry on both sides continued to fall off their horses.

Seeing this, Zhao Liangdong already knew in his heart that there were most likely Ming troops in ambush behind the hillside.

Under the banner of the Ming Array, Li Laiheng and Wang Xu and others were stationed on horseback, Wang Xu saw the response of the Jin army, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Zhao Liangdong is really cautious. ”

Li Laiheng smiled, and suddenly waved his hand: "Blow the trumpet, the army advances!" ”

Zhao Liangdong was watching the confrontation between the two sentry horses on the right, and the Ming army's large array suddenly sounded a horn of "woo woo". In the Ming army's formation, the guns picked up their guns one after another, and then followed the drumbeat in the army, stepping on neat steps to move forward.

The Ming army's large array actually moved first, which surprised many golden generals, and at the same time was a little unhappy, did the Ming army look down on them?

"Military Gate! The Ming army moved! Sheng Jiading on the side reminded.

Zhao Liangdong naturally saw the movements of the Ming army, and he was already sure that there was an ambush of the Ming army behind the mountain. Could it be that he was afraid that he would find an ambush and not give him a chance to think, so the Ming army took the initiative to attack at this time? The other party's main general is Li Laiheng, a veteran of decades, how can he be at such a level?

At this time, the phalanx of the Ming army was advancing with murderous spirit, and he had no time to think about it. This Li Laiheng most likely looked down on the Jin army, the Ming army destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and some people were complacent, and there was no one in their eyes.

Since the Ming army dared to rush forward, then he would teach the Ming army a lesson.

Zhao Liangdong saw the Ming army approaching, and finally gave a loud order. "Command artillery bombardment, extend the battalion to prepare for the attack!"

After speaking, the banner behind him waved the command flag, and more than a dozen artillery pieces dragged by the war horse were pulled to the front of the formation, and the Jin Army artillery team quickly set up artillery and fired.

In addition, a battalion that received the order to attack also loaded ammunition, swords, shields and spears were ready, and Zhao Liangdong led everyone back into the formation.

"Boom, boom!" In front of the Jin army, dozens of artillery pieces roared at the same time, the front was immediately filled with gunsmoke, the cannon body retreated sharply, and the black iron bullets roared out, smashing into the front of the Ming army, splashing up the dust.

The general of the Jin Army, who commanded the artillery team, put his hand on the pergola, looked forward, and found that the shells had fallen in front of the Ming army, and immediately turned his head and shouted: "Raise the muzzle of the cannon by half an inch, and then put it again!" ”

The Ming soldiers marched forward in a phalanx of several rectangular rows, and the soldiers followed the rhythm of the drums, and suddenly a cloud of white smoke rose again in front of the Qing army's formation, and the iron bullets whistled and fell into the Ming army's formation, and immediately hit blood, minced flesh and dirt splashed together.

The cannonballs caused clouds of dust in the Ming army's formation, but the Ming soldiers were not in a chaotic formation, only holding the weapons in their hands, passing through the dust and smoke, and continuing to move forward.

At the same time as the artillery bombardment of the Jin Kingdom, the commander of the Yanchuan battalion pulled out the matching knife on his waist, pointed forward, and roared in the rumbling cannon, "Yanchuan battalion, attack!" ”

Most of the new troops of the Jin State were organized into a battalion in the same county or several nearby counties, and Yan'an had four battalions of troops, and the number was directly named after the name of the county.

The Jin sergeant immediately picked up the fire gun in his hand, clenched the spear and the sword, and greeted him with neat steps like the Ming army.

The formation of the Ming army is relatively concentrated, and more than 300 people form a phalanx of pure firearms, and then form some small units of pikemen to accompany them, but the establishment of the Jin army is that firearms and cold weapons are formed into squads, and the squads are forming large teams, and the proportion of cold weapons is higher than that of the Ming army.

The two armies took steps and approached quickly, but the Ming army had to brave the artillery fire, while the Jin army was more calm.

Two hundred steps, in the advancing Jin army squad, the gunman suddenly opened fire, a piece of gunpowder smoke rose in the array, the advancing Ming army fell in response, and nearly 100 people were killed in an instant, and the Ming army behind held the gun tightly, walked past the corpse, and did not stop advancing.

After raising the gun and firing, the loading was chaotic, and the advance was immediately stopped, and the Jin army that shot continued to move forward, and for the next distance, the two sides did not fire.

When fifty steps, the front row of the Ming army finally raised the self-generated guns, and opened fire suddenly, firing two rounds in a row, the Jin army also fired, and the two sides accepted their own firearms baptism, but obviously the Ming army's firearms were stronger, and the soldiers in the front of the Jin army were beaten into pieces.
