Protector Zhang Jingkak said: "The slave watches the formation, my left wing and his right wing are stationed near the mountain and water, and it is not easy to attack, although my right wing and his left wing are stationed in the mountain, but the mountain is gentle, and there is no water behind it, and the slave leads the troops from the right wing to attack its left, and it is not difficult to break it."

Huang Taiji's side is surrounded by people who have been in battle for a long time, and the head of Zhengbai Banner at this time, that is, Gushan Ezhen He Heli, the patriarch of the Dong E tribe, and one of the five ministers.

Huang Taiji also has a lot of respect for He Heli, but most of He Heli's subordinates are in the Zhenghongqi, so most of his family are also in the Zhenghongqi.

On the contrary, the amount of the five ministers is also with Fei Yingdong, although it is not directly related to the Zhengbai Banner, but the relationship with the Emperor Taiji is quite good, the forehead also has sixteen sons, the eldest son died early, the fourth son Han Dai, the fifth son Ada Hai, the seventh son Mohai, and the thirteenth son Chaohar, all of whom have died in battle, and the second son Cherge is in the Zhengbai Banner as Niu Lu Zhangjing, and the eighth son Turg and the tenth son Ilden, all of whom serve under the Zhengbai Banner, are also famous warriors, and now there is no official position, the fifteenth son Suo Hun, and the sixteenth son Kubilong are all minors, But Huang Taiji also made a woo in advance......

Huang Taiji's eyes looked left and right, and most of the guards around him were the sons and nephews of the famous ministers and general soldiers, such as Fei Yingdong's nephew Aobai, Eyidu's son Cherge, Fei Yingdong's grandson Tulai, and the protector Sonny, the son of Naibakshi Shuose, and the important head of the Hada Ministry.

Most of these are young people under the age of 20, and of course they have considerable martial arts skills, such as Turai and Aobai, both of whom have unstoppable courage, but in the tradition of Jin always selecting Baijia or Goshkha, these young people still have little experience and experience. However, Huang Taiji wants to use it himself, these young people are indeed quite brave, and the armor, weapons, and war horses are all excellent, they are all from big families, and there is no problem with this thing.

"You can attack its left side, I will hand over half of the guards to you, and then select the strongest ones in each Niu Lu vest to fight." Huang Taiji quickly made up his mind to concentrate the elite on the right flank, except for some of the most important people who stayed with him.

The Houjin soldiers were quickly deployed, and the guerrillas began to move forward slowly.

It was very hot, and it was sweating before they had walked a few steps, and under the scorching sun, the armor of the armor soldiers exuded a silver metallic luster, and there were more than 400 people on one side, and more than 800 people on the other hand, and began to move forward slowly in a surrounding formation.

The two armies are like masters who have been accumulating strength for a long time, and they are also like tigers and black bears who meet on a narrow road in the forest, they all have strong strength and will, they are determined to fight to the death, their eyes are staring at each other, their whole body is accumulated, their muscles are tense, and many Houjin soldiers' battlefield feels like a valve that opens all at once, they have been in battle for a long time, they are used to life and death, and at this time they have left everything behind, only to know how to break the formation and kill the enemy, their pace, the posture of walking, the look of holding a shield or holding a soldier, and even the breathing have been adjusted. This is a group of veterans, they know what posture and pace to use when they are three hundred paces away, they try to relax as much as possible, adjust their muscle groups, and try to relax themselves.

After the big array, Dolgon's face was full of excitement, as a twelve-year-old boy, of course Dolgon did not participate in the previous wars, this battle in front of him was his first time to observe the battlefield at close range, Huang Taiji just sent a guard over, conveyed the meaning of the four beylers, please fourteen elder brother to go back, leave more elite guards around him, Huang Taiji of course can not predict the unfavorable war, the Ming army in front of him is more than 400 people, the Jurchen soldiers are doubled, there is no Han army and Mongolians, all are the blue flag with white flags and white flags of the serious Jurchen Eight Banners, if this battle is lost...... This kind of thing can't happen, but the soldiers on the battlefield are fierce, and no one knows if there will be accidents, so Huang Taiji still advised Dolgon to stay away, so that he can also concentrate on commanding and taking the lead in the front.

Dolgon knew that Starling had good intentions, but there was no lack of regret in his heart, if he could call himself in the battle, even if he didn't fire a single shot and hurt no one, he could insist that he also participated in the battle after he returned.

As a twelve-year-old little brother, one of Father Khan's favorite sons-in-law, and the future banner lord Baylor, Dolgon still hopes to add a solid stroke to his resume earlier, and today's battle should have been a good start...... It's a pity that Sibeile took away the opportunity for Dolgon to participate, and the team was commanded by Huang Taiji, and it was impossible for those guards to disobey the order and take the little brother to the battle.

Dolgon also felt that the queue inlaid with white flags was a little chaotic, not as neat as the front of the fan array, he whispered to the two coats around him what he had found, and said: "The Ming army array is quite powerful, how is it different from the rumors. ”

Luo Tuo said: "The master really found out that this Ming army is indeed very strong, but our big golden soldiers can still win." ”

Cao Zhenyan was worried and proud in his heart.

Of course, he recognized that this was Hutchison's soldiers, and although he did not play the banner of Hutchison, it was evident from the armor and outfit to the array that Hutchison had trained in the style of mountain infantry...... He has seen a lot in the Thirteen Mountains, it is completely consistent, and there may be fine-tuning in details, but Cao Zhenyan has not received systematic training, and even if there is a difference, he can't see it.

The other is the commander of the infantry, the tall man standing in the middle of the formation, the big bald head, when the Jurchens set up the formation, many of Hutchison's infantry did not wear iron helmets, after all, the weather was too hot, but ...... Cao Zhenyan slandered: This baldness is too obvious!

But then he swept in the formation, but saw a lot of bald heads, and then he realized that the bald man was not afraid of being exposed, and there were too many bald people in the team now, and he didn't know if it was really necessary, or if the bald man deliberately encouraged everyone to do this, so as to cover for him.

After listening to Dolgon's words, Cao Zhenyan collected his mood and replied in a low voice: "What the master said is very true, these soldiers listen to the slave brother, and often come from outside the border wall or Kuandian, harass and plunder, or cover the escape of the Han people, and have fought many times with our Dajin officials Zhuang Niulu, and they are indeed quite elite soldiers and horses. ”

"I've heard about it here, too." Dorgon nodded knowingly...... He is a noble brother who may accompany Lao Khan at any time, of course, he has listened to some government affairs and military affairs, he is very smart, and he is good at thinking, knowing that Liaozhong to Liaodong is the most stable, in the past, there were many Mongols grazing in the Liaohe Hetao in the east, and occasionally Mongolian cavalry came to sneak attack, and now after two years of operation, the Horqin line has become the heart of Houjin, in the words of Huang Taiji, it is herding and hunting and fishing anyway, and it feels very good in terms of surrender and Houjin, but Dongjiang Town is like shit lying on the side of the road, which makes the mood of these nobles very bad.

To describe it as shit is not to despise Dongjiang Town, but to use it as an appropriate metaphor.

To be fair, although there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Dongjiang Town, the soldiers reported to be hundreds of thousands, and later the Ministry of War sent personnel to verify that there are nearly 30,000, but the soldiers of Dongjiang are similar to refugees in the eyes of Hutchison, and the equipment of the Dongjiang soldiers on the Houjin side is not as good as the Qiding, purely from the perspective of combat effectiveness, for example, the performance of 30,000 Dongjiang soldiers on the frontal battlefield is far inferior to Liu Zhen's way in the Battle of Salhu, after all, Liu Dadao led a regular army of 30,000, with Sichuan army and Zhejiang soldiers, as well as the division sent by North Korea. The officers and men of Hamgyong Province in North Korea are also quite combat-effective, not as fish belly as imagined.

In particular, in the past six months, along the line from Kuandian to the Taizi River and the Suzi River, there are often records of guerrilla harassment by Dongjiang soldiers crossing the river, and in the view of the Houjin side, the movements on the Dongjiang side are getting bigger and bigger, more and more excessive, and more and more unbearable.

From Liaodong to Liaozhong is a line, the Taizi River is the southern defense line of Liaozhong, from Lianshanguan to Phoenix City is a narrow front, and on one side is the stretching mountains and Kuandian to Tieshan, the Dongjiang control area of Yizhou. Southern Liaoning was with Fuzhou as the southernmost point, Jinzhou was the battlefield for the two sides, and then Lushun was already controlled by the Dongjiang River.

If Dongjiang Town's continuous disturbance of the Jurchen flank threatens the hinterland of Liaozhong, it will be quite a bad situation for the Jurchens, otherwise, Nurhachi will not send Huang Taiji to inspect in person, depending on the situation, whether to strengthen the garrison here, or even send a large army to clear it once.

"Commander Wang, I hope you will be victorious." Cao Zhenyan said reassuring words to Dolgon, while looking at the other side worriedly, and muttered quietly in his heart, he wondered why Wang Biao led his troops to confront the Jurchens here, he had just had a chance to escape, but he chose to resolutely line up to meet the enemy. The military formation of more than 400 people in front of him still looks so solemn, revealing a majestic taste and feeling, Cao Zhenyan knows that this is the style of bald head leading soldiers, every general will bring his own personal style to the army, Wang Biao's personality is like this, brave, direct, reckless, all kinds of traces are mixed together, forming a complete whole.

Cao Zhenyan looked at Li Mingli on the left wing again, wearing cotton armor, wearing chain mail inside, the protection was still over, the weapons in his hands were also sophisticated, and acquaintances such as Tabu Bag were also behind the formation.

"Prepare to meet the enemy, the Tartars are moving!"

The commander of the general is Wang Biao, and the 400 or so people in front of him are also more than half of the subordinates of the first mountain infantry battalion he leads.

This battle with Huang Taiji was partly because of necessity, and half because of Wang Biao's command style.

If he had changed to another command, when he found the Tartar sentry cavalry and the main force, he might try to delay the battle as much as possible, or avoid the battle as much as possible, but Wang Biao still chose to go head-to-head with the enemy when he had a lot of time to prepare.

What about the more than 800 people?

What about the guards and the white armor?

Lao Tzu occupies the location of the river and the hills, and has the subordinates who have believed in it, and if he wants to fight, just let the horses come!

Under the leadership of such a general, more than 400 merchant soldiers also have the same temperament, confident, ruthless, and violent!
