Mongolia was unstable, and Huang Taiji wanted to recommend himself, but in the old Khan, he did not have the determination to make up his mind, and being too positive was counterproductive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, Huang Taiji's heart was full of mixed feelings, including shock, anger, and envy.

Zhang Han is more than ten years younger than him, but all his achievements are fought by himself, this kind of life is what Huang Taiji really envies and wants, but unfortunately he has no way to change his background, he can only hide this emotion deep in his heart.

When Huang Taiji was full of thoughts and emotions were very volatile, important changes took place on the opposite side of the battlefield.

"Master, look!" Sony's expression was very nervous, and so was Huang Taiji's most trusted personal guard, Ah Xianning, several guards pointed to the opposite river, and said, "Ming army reinforcements!" ”

Huang Taiji wanted to say that it was Hutchison's soldier, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say it.

For a heroic figure who is determined and has never been affected by external objects, this kind of hesitation and hesitation is quite rare in Huang Taiji.

The reason is also very simple, Hutchison was introduced by him, Zhang Han also relied on Huang Taiji to make the covenant, and the subsequent exchange of information and communication between trade handover personnel was also handled by Huang Taiji and the people under the command of Zhengbaiqi, and he also gained considerable benefits from it.

If you officially turn your face with Hutchison, you have your own way to deal with it at that time, now it is Father Khan and Daishan who take the initiative to cut trade, and they can shirk responsibility for this matter in the future, if you find out that a large number of Hutchison soldiers and horses are in Kuandian now, Daishan They are not stupid, they will definitely take it out to make a fuss, the three Dolgon brothers are eyeing each other in the back, and Huang Taiji also knows that it is not suitable for him to give any excuse to his political enemies at this time, so even if he is as determined as he is, he hesitated at this time, but he did not say his judgment.

At this moment, a large number of reinforcements appeared in front of the Jurchens, Huang Taiji waved his hand, and as soon as the drums stopped, the Jurchens' attack array immediately stopped.

Not only that, Huang Taiji immediately began to adjust the queue.

The vests were in front, forty or fifty people were in a formation, and the front was divided into four formations.

The two wings are also a group of dozens of people, and they are also divided into four formations.

Four formations in the middle and four formations in the rear wing.

There are dozens of guerrillas, sending guards, white armor in them, swimming and guarding.

This is a standard phalanx formation, which can be used to defend and camp out, whether it is the Ming army or the Jurchen, basically the phalanx is the same array.

The difference is that the habit of the Houjin soldiers is to put the strongest soldiers and horses in front of the phalanx, if it is a large-scale field battle, it is to treat the birth of Jurchen as a dead soldier guerrilla, put the most elite vest and white armor in front of the formation, the elite breaks the formation, and the ordinary soldiers and horses and bannermen cover behind them, and rush up to sweep and kill the enemy after breaking the formation.

I don't know how many times this set has helped the Jurchens win the battle, and now Huang Taiji doesn't have any fishskin tartars to use, so he simply uses his own guards and white armor as guerrillas.

After all, I have just seen the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and if I am not careful, if I lose the battle and return to Liaoyang, it will really be a big shame.

The reinforcements on the opposite side also came from a very strange place, not from the land, but from the river on the left.

There were about 300 soldiers, all of whom had been dressed in armor, standing on the raft and floating down the river, forming a formation on the raft, and they could go ashore to fight as long as they docked.

At this time, Huang Taiji also understood why the Ming army was arranging formations along the border, they already knew that there were reinforcements on the way upstream, so they had to protect the riverbank, and even when the battle began, they could help the reinforcements go ashore and set up the formation.

Huang Taiji's eyes flashed with a burst of silver light, this time more than 300 reinforcements were all veterans transferred from the Thirteen Mountains and Li Zhuang to enrich the 12th Regiment, and they were also the main force under the command of the first bald battalion, and the two companies were composed of about seventy percent of the veterans, with about thirty percent of the Liao recruits, and the recruits were also good soldiers from the best of the best, and they were trained to bring new soldiers.

In the eyes of Huang Taiji, the more than 300 Ming troops who came to the aid were quite terrifying, all of them were silver armor or breastplates, bright helmets and bright armor, all of which stood on the raft like iron men, more than a dozen rafts went down the river together, each raft was full of silver iron men, plus spears and swords and shields shining brightly, the deterrent power was full of power, and an invisible murderous aura permeated, it can be seen that everyone who went down the river was quite elite veterans, which was a few more terrible points than the Ming army arrayed on the mountain.

Prior to this, the guerrillas have tried out the advantages and disadvantages of the Ming army on the opposite side, the disadvantage is that the experience is somewhat lacking, and it may cause emotional instability and collapse under strong pressure, and the new reinforcements in front of them are completely different, the murderous atmosphere is pervasive, and the smell of strong soldiers is coming, which is really full of momentum.

When the Ming army was rushing forward, the Jurchen array stopped, and even the most tenacious warriors were a little hesitant at this time.

The seven hundred Ming troops in front of him are almost all the same armor, and the later reinforcements are wearing exaggerated dazzling breastplates, and the silver-gray metallic luster almost blinds the human eye, even the white armor and guards wearing the best iron armor are ashamed of themselves, and their eyes breathe fire.

In addition, the murderous aura of the later Ming army was pervasive, and the breath of the elite soldiers was quite obvious, and now the numerical advantage was offset, more than 700 to more than 800, but more than 800 of the Jurchens were more than 100 of the 14th elder brother's coat attachés, and some of them were bannermen sent out by each Niulu, and the really strong soldiers were less than 600 people, and now they are actually inferior in terms of numbers.

All the Jurchens have a little bit of a sense of humiliation, they have always attacked more with less, which time it was not the corpses of the Ming army that were beaten by a few people, this time the number of Ming troops was even smaller, and they actually had the feeling of timidity that they could not be defeated.

A lot of people turned red and started roaring.

Huang Taiji is also hesitating, some of the Ming army has not yet gone ashore, if you want to fight, now is the best time, but the other party's reinforcements are sure to be able to go ashore, if it really exceeds the combat effectiveness of the Ming army on the mountain as shown, this battle is quite dangerous, not that it is possible to fail, but there is a considerable possibility of failure.

He turned his head to see that Dorgon was still behind the formation, and was noticeably farther away.

Huang Taiji sneered in his heart, Xiao Fourteen usually looks like him, but today he obviously shows his background, and when it comes to the crisis, what decision to make and what kind of performance he makes, he can see a person's quality more than usual.

"Cunning and wise, but not daring!" Huang Taiji made a judgment in his heart to the fourteenth brother, and then decided to move on.

The number of the Ming army and the Jurchens is about the same, if they avoid fighting, they will plant the seeds of defeat in the hearts of these people, and they will continue to be afraid in the future, the Jurchens do not come up to have such a large territory and such a good weapon, it is a continuous victory over the strong with the weak, not to mention anything else, when the Haixi Jurchens were fighting, 1,200 people were dispatched on their side, and 120,000 people came out, defeat the strong with the weak, and hit more with less.

Now that four of the five ministers have died, and they all died in the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, He Heli is also very ill, and may die soon, the glory of his father and ancestors cannot be lost in his own hands, and Huang Taiji is still quite enterprising and responsible.

This battle, even if there are heavy casualties, Houjin's manpower is very tight, and every soldier is very important, but in comparison, the belief in victory and the legend of undefeat are the most important things.

The Ming army beat the drums of war again, and the left flank moved forward a little, and because the left flank moved to occupy a position, the right flank and the center also moved forward a little.

After a brief pause, it seemed that the Houjin soldiers were showing signs of continuing to move forward.

But a moment later, a large number of soldiers on the raft had not yet come ashore, and dozens of rafts were floating down from the upper reaches!

There are people on each raft, and it is far away, but there are people on the raft who can definitely see it very clearly, although it is not clear how many people are small, but there are dozens or hundreds of rafts alone, and the number of people is believed to be not too small.

"Blow the trumpet, retreat."

Seeing that the Ming army had reinforcements coming down from upstream, Huang Taiji was not disappointed or angry, but was a little relieved. He kept a straight face, lest this emotion be discovered by the people around him, so he just waved his hand and turned his head and left first.

The Ming army was all in a foot formation, and there were still hundreds of steps apart, and if they wanted to chase in heavy armor, they were still spared, but they didn't have to worry about them chasing after them.

The horses of the Houjin side were placed half a mile away, and there were more than 20 bannermen in charge of guarding, and when they saw the army turn and retreat, these bannermen hurriedly led their horses to meet them.

Not many people expressed regret, most of them were silent, embarrassed by the little happy emotions in their hearts, and only a few people with insufficient brains were talking about the bright armor of the Ming army.

Judging from the appearance, most of the armor of the later Ming army was a one-piece cuirass, and the thick iron armor was forged and formed by some means that the Jurchens did not know, although it could be seen from a distance of a few hundred steps that the cuirass was quite thick, and the protective ability was certainly not comparable to cotton armor or chain mail, even if it was iron scale armor superimposed on iron leaves or pierced armor made of large iron sheets, it was slightly inferior.

In the sound of envy, a white armor said coldly: "That armor is one, pierced in one place and broken in one place, it cannot be repaired, not like scale armor or piercing armor can be repaired, do you think you can use this armor?" ”

Many vests and flags looked at each other, and after half a ring, they all nodded in agreement.

Indeed, no matter how thick the armor is, there are times when it is pierced, once it is damaged and there is no way to repair it, plus it is obviously expensive, how can this armor be used by ordinary people? Even if it's a guard, the masters can't be reluctant, right? If you fight a battle in exchange for an armor worth more than 100 taels, the Dajin Kingdom will go bankrupt directly after a few battles.

"It's better to be in scales." A vest couldn't help but glance back again, saying so, but it was still difficult to hide the envy in his heart.

Indeed, this armor is too expensive, but it is conceivable that as long as there is a serious breakage, it is to block a fatal attack, in short, it is to exchange armor for people's lives, this arithmetic problem is very simple and complicated, anyway, with the arithmetic level of ordinary Jurchens, it is definitely not understood, but their envy of thick armor is real, but with their simple minds, they also know that they can't say too many things that shouldn't be said at this time, they can only hide everything in their hearts.
