Three days later, Tuhai's army arrived at the east of Ruzhou City and camped twenty miles, both Tuhai and Qin Yue probably understood that this should be the last battle in Henan, and the Manchu court sent 100,000 horses was already the limit, and now Mongolia can't recruit troops after tossing.

Now there are only three places left for conscription, Gyeonggi, Shandong and Liaodong, Shanxi and the sweeping army are staring, it is impossible to recruit soldiers, these places can not support two-front battles even if they can recruit soldiers, if Tuhai wins, they can still rely on the encroachment to recover the land step by step, otherwise they can only provoke the war between the two of them.

The news of the Ming soldiers entering Henan has made many courtiers in the court have the idea of retreating outside the pass, these people only want to be stable when they are old, and they have no intention of going on the horse to fight.

Tuhai knew that he couldn't lose this battle, if he lost Henan, he would have to lose it, and although Rabu would bear some of the blame, most of the blame would have to fall on his head, and his net worth and life would have to be explained.

Of course, Qin Yue also attaches great importance to this battle, winning their mountain and river army will have the capital side by side with the sweeping northern army, and there is always a feeling of dwarf head after losing, besides, Henan has been the Central Plains since ancient times, and if you occupy Henan, you will have the capital of the world.

The people of Henan have been working tirelessly these days to harvest the wheat in the field, no matter who wins or loses, the wheat in the field is their capital to save their lives.

Cheng Xiaolian also cheered up in Ruzhou City, opposite Tuhai, a first-class famous general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a little carelessness may be seized by Tuhai, he doesn't want to defeat Maicheng.

Tuhai is now facing a very contradictory problem, fighting with the barracks outside the city or besieging the city, these two places are horns of each other, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be attacked from inside and outside, but both sides are thorns, and either side is a scourge.

At this time, it is necessary to consider the general's judgment of the enemy, if you have a sharp eye and find a flaw in the connection between the two armies, you can break it in one fell swoop, if you can't find it, you will be consumed alive.

When I sent troops on the second day, no one except Tuhai knew how today's battle would be fought, and he calmly rode on the horse of the Chinese army, which made the soldiers around him feel inexplicably relieved.

The 30,000 army first launched an offensive against Qin Yue's army formation, this is the ability to fight hard, unless the large-scale army formation can affect the strategy of the whole army, it will not have much impact at all, and the 30,000 troops who pressed the formation ensure that there will be no such accident at all.

There are only 60,000 regular troops brought by Tu Hai this time, and the remaining nearly 40,000 are recruits or people, who are used to bluff, and he will definitely not regard these people as his own strength, these people may be useful when beating the water dogs, but now going to the battlefield will only bring negative effects.

Cheng Xiaolian stood on top of the city: "After so many years of fighting, we finally saw the opportunity." ”

"The combat effectiveness of the Manchu army has always dropped a notch, no matter who has fought a vicious battle for so many years, the elite army has almost been consumed. Moreover, their remaining elites are all pressed in the land south of the Yangtze River, and they are afraid that they will not be able to transfer them for a while. ”

"This is the best time for our Ming Dynasty to revivenation, if this time passes, I am afraid it will be even more difficult."

At this time, the armies of the two sides had begun to make contact, the archers took the lead in launching the offensive, the shield bearers in the front row raised their shields high, and the cavalry on both sides tacitly did not participate in the battle, but chose to press the formation in the rear. I didn't know much about the enemy when I first came into contact, so I didn't dare to rush to press the cavalry, and then press the cavalry when it was critical.

Soon the two sides began to fight in close quarters, Qin Yue stared closely at the situation on the scene, not daring to relax in the slightest, Wen Ruzhen and Ma Jiugong all had serious expressions, they were all people who had a deep hatred of blood at the beginning, and now the excitement in the heart of seeing Da Ming re-enter the Central Plains can be imagined.

Spearmen and broadswordsmen have all thrown away their long blades, and these things become cumbersome when they get close, basically short knife battles, catch and fight, and rarely have the opportunity to help their comrades, because a single negligence will be pierced by their opponents A transparent hole.

However, everyone will not go too deep into the enemy formation, this is one thing that they have repeatedly emphasized in their training, because too much depth can only lead to one result, when their own Ming Jin collects troops, they can't withdraw at all, basically there is no return, of course, Meng Ke is not within this kind of rule, they are natural warriors, they can chisel through the enemy formation and retreat with their whole body.

However, Meng Ke is not here today, so the various armies are still fighting step by step, and the Ming side did not take out their palm thunder, this thing is used as a nirvana, and it is a bit of a violent thing to take it out now.

At this time, Yang Youcai at the head of the city suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, the people of Tuhai are coming to our city." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "It would be a little strange if he didn't come, but what I want to know now is whether his target is the frontal army or the defenders of our city." He and Qin Yue both knew that today's attack on Tuhai would definitely have a priority, and in order to prevent this, Qin Yue even asked Wang Jiyong's cavalry to stand still, and their task today was to defend Cheng Xiaolian at the head of the city.

At this time, the four thousand defenders at the head of the city were also ready, these four thousand people were not very many for Tuhai's men and horses, and even a bit of a taste of mantis arms as a car, but Xiao Lian knew that Qin Yue would never tolerate Tu Hai to press all the main forces on the siege, and even as long as Tu Hai showed a hint of wanting to attack the city with all his might, Qin Yue would not hesitate to launch a general attack.

Seeing that there are only 10,000 people attacking the city, Cheng Xiaolian is not very concerned, there are 1,000 defenders in this city who are his personal guard battalion, and this army led by Wang Tieniu is on the way to the most elite men and horses in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Qin Yue's soldiers and horses did not come to the slightest aid to the city, a sneer appeared on Tu Hai's face, but it quickly disappeared, and he had more confidence in his plan.

At this time, a brocade-clothed guard suddenly ran to Qin Yue's approach: "Qiqi Dashuai, a group of men and horses suddenly appeared behind us, not our men and horses, and they came towards our camp." ”

Wang Jiyong immediately stood up: "Dashuai, leave this trouble to me." ”

"Don't bother General Wang, Wen Ruzhen, immediately lead people to meet the battle, be sure to annihilate all the enemies who come to attack, if you can't stop people, you can bring back your head!"
