The sun rises as usual in the early morning, and the sun always makes people feel warm, but unfortunately the battlefield outside Cangzhou Prefecture, the cruelty continues, and when the sun just rises, the battle begins.

The Datong border army took the lead in launching an attack, and rushed forward without hesitation in the face of the brave Jiangning battalion soldiers.

After analysis, Chen Xinjia and others believed that it was impossible for the Jiangning battalion to carry so many shells, and the bombardment of about half an hour yesterday required a large amount of artillery shells, not to mention the silver required to make artillery shells, Chen Xinjia still knew a little, not only Chen Xinjia, but even Dolgon thought so.

The artillery of the Jiangning battalion really did not exert much power, and after a few shells fell, the army began to move, and the two armies quickly fought together.

Chen Xinjia on the mountain peak, although his face was serious, but there was still a smile in the corner of his eyes, and even fools could see that the number of sergeants of the Jiangning battalion who participated in the attack was obviously reduced, and there was no momentum like yesterday, which showed that in yesterday's battle, the Jiangning battalion also suffered heavy losses. The key is the artillery of the Jiangning battalion, which everyone feels frightened of, and there are not many shells fired today, which shows that the Jiangning battalion has not many shells, according to Chen Xinjia's understanding, there are also many defects in the firing of artillery, for example, it takes time to heat up and dissipate heat in the gun chamber, if it is fired blindly, it is very likely that there will be a situation of exploding the chamber, giving itself a major blow, so it seems that the artillery of the Jiangning battalion today is difficult to play a decisive role.

Despite the fighting on the battlefield, the Jiangning battalion still had a certain upper hand. But Chen Xinjia was confident, in the afternoon, he would ask the army to attack on all fronts, knowing that the 50,000 Datong border army of Lu Dao as a reserve had already been prepared.

The situation of the battle was somewhat similar to yesterday, and the Datong border army gradually became unable to support it. After most of the day's fighting, some of the sergeants had a trace of fear for the Jiangning battalion in their hearts, and after holding on for a short time, they began to retreat slowly.

Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi obviously didn't expect this.

Soon, the Eight Banners began to attack.

A situation occurred that surprised Chen Xinjia and Dolgon. A cannon sounded, and when the soldiers of the Eight Banners began to charge, the guns on the side of the Jiangning battalion also sounded, but this was not a cannon sound, but a series of rumbling cannons, and countless shells fell on the position of the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners who were caught off guard suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and some of the horses and sergeants were blown away. The frightened horses began to neigh, and many sergeants began to hide from the artillery fire. Avoid further casualties.

Seeing this scene, Dolgon's eyes turned red, and he understood that the power of the Jiangning battalion's artillery still existed, but today's focus became the Manchu Eight Banners, just when everyone thought that the Jiangning battalion had no more shells and was ready to attack boldly with confidence. Shells suddenly appeared on the position, and it is conceivable how much loss the Eight Banners will have after this round of artillery fire.

The officer began to quickly direct the sergeant to hide from the artillery fire, and in this situation. The ranks began to fall apart.

Dolgon looked at the scene on the position, and instinctively felt that something was wrong, the depth of the Jiangning battalion's artillery fire was fully displayed, and even the crossbowmen who were ambushed behind were attacked by artillery fire and suffered heavy losses.

But Dolgon couldn't order the soldiers to keep in line, after all, the shells on their heads were not vegetarian, and letting the soldiers stay in line might cause more serious casualties, which was the advantage of the Jiangning battalion, which had powerful artillery.

The artillery lasted about a quarter of an hour.

The queue full of eight flags is completely gone.

Just when the artillery stopped firing, the situation that Dolgon feared finally appeared, and the attack of the Jiangning battalion began, charging before the soldiers of the Eight Banners had time to organize the queue, and the momentum of both sides was reflected in an instant.

The charge of the Jiangning battalion was very violent, the sound of horses' hooves shook, and the earth trembled.

At the last moment, Dolgon decisively issued an order, asking an officer to organize 10,000 men to desperately resist the attack of the Jiangning battalion, no matter how many casualties were paid, they were not allowed to retreat, and the rest of the soldiers quickly withdrew and prepared for the next round of charge.

At this time, Dolgon had not thought of retreating, after all, this was on the battlefield, no matter what the reason for retreating, it was unjustifiable, and retreating at this time, if it was pursued by the Jiangning battalion, the losses would be even heavier, and it was better to resist desperately, maybe you could find an opportunity to turn the tables.

As the battle continued, one of his staff members hurried over to Dolgon and handed him a note.

After reading the note, Dolgon's expression changed drastically, and he was a little unable to control himself.

Although the battle ahead was still very tragic, Dolgon couldn't care about these anymore, and now he needed to think about the way out of the army, and the doubts that lingered in his heart yesterday could be completely solved.

It turned out that Su Tiancheng's purpose was to leave the Ming army and the soldiers of the Eight Banners in Cangzhou, and when the reinforcements from the Jiangning battalion arrived, the fighting coalition forces were thinking about retreating, and there might be no chance.

The information received by Dolgon was that the army led by Lu Xiangsheng had rushed over from Henan, and the vanguard had already crossed the port city of Hejian Prefecture, and there was still more than a day to reach Cangzhou.

The resting soldiers are still waiting for orders, but Dolgon has already made a decision, he will not continue to send soldiers to participate in the attack, even if the soldiers are fighting in front, they will gradually begin to retreat, of course, to maintain the situation on the battlefield, this requires Chen Xinjia to send reserves, it is best to make a one-time attack by the reserves to balance the situation on the battlefield.

At this time, Dolgon looked forward to getting dark, and after dark, he was going to lead the army to retreat, leaving Cangzhou, detouring to Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion, entering Shanxi, and retreating from the direction of Datong.

It was past noon.

Chen Xinjia finally gave the order, and the 50,000 Datong border troops attacked on all fronts.

Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo have been waiting impatiently for a long time.

The 10,000 soldiers they led were uncomfortable to watch the battle between the two battlefields, but they had nothing to do, and they watched their brothers bleed, but they were not able to participate in the battle.

At this time, don't say that the opponent is 50,000 people, even if it is 100,000 people, they will rush forward without hesitation.

The fact that cannot be ignored is that the 50,000 Datong border troops are also impatient, and the 50,000 brothers who took the lead suffered heavy casualties, which also stimulated them.

The two armies collided together, and the tragic battle unfolded randomly.

What is surprising is that the battle in the first two places is not as fierce as here.

Even Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo felt surprised and stressed.

It is impossible for them to analyze, after all, it is 10,000 against 50,000 people, in terms of numbers, there is a huge gap, it can be seen from the charging formation, the Datong border army, which has a huge numerical advantage, the morale is naturally extraordinarily high, in their opinion, if they can defeat the Jiangning battalion, it will be famous all over the world, who does not know the courage of the Jiangning battalion. Therefore, in the process of attacking, no one thought of retreating, they all moved forward bravely, and they all knew very well that the brothers in front of them were already a little overwhelmed and needed their support.

In the face of the fierce Datong border army, Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo began to become crazy, they issued a death order, no matter how many casualties were caused, they must stop the 50,000 Datong border army, and they could not let the two Datong border troops meet, otherwise the situation of today's battle will be reversed, and they also know that the more they face the huge pressure, the more the brothers of the Jiangning battalion can fight hard.

Sure enough, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion also began to become crazy, they were not even willing to use flintlock pistols, and began to fight with steel knives and spears, when the cavalry faced the foot soldiers, it was originally an advantage, provided that it could not be dispersed, some of the soldiers who were scattered began to unite in groups of three or five to fight, and slowly surrounded more and more soldiers, and the war group began to expand, half an hour passed, after paying a great price, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion actually withstood the Datong border army reinforced by 50,000, It is almost impossible to use 10,000 people to withstand 50,000.

Chen Xinjia, who was on the top of the mountain, his body began to tremble again, he never expected that the sergeant of the Jiangning battalion would be so desperate, no matter how many casualties there were, he would resist the reinforcements of the Datong border army.

If the reinforced Datong border army could not complete the scheduled task, today's operation may not have much effect, and what is fatal is that the more than 30,000 Datong border troops that began to fight in the morning almost collapsed, and after holding out for so long, the casualties can no longer be described as merely heavy, and the army is almost collapsed.

Although the losses of the Jiangning battalion are not small, compared with the two, Chen Xinjia cannot bear this result.

Chen Xinjia, who was angry, was ready to go to Dolgon in person, he had already noticed that in today's battle, Dolgon was still preserving his strength, this was already a critical moment, how could he still preserve his strength, maybe the Eight Banners sergeant launched a comprehensive charge, and he would be able to open the gap.

Chen Xinjia believed that the sergeants of the Jiangning Battalion were already in full attack, and it was impossible to retain a reserve team. (To be continued......)
