The ninth day of December in the first year of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The weather is very good, the winter sun is not so dazzling after it comes out, and people under the sun do not feel much warmth, which is very rare for the often foggy climate in the north.

A bloody battle that shocked the world finally began, it was a great battle for the survival of two dynasties, a battle worthy of long-term study by historians, as it was hundreds of years later, this was a classic battle in which a small number of troops faced a large number of troops.

On the whole, the Jiangning battalion took the initiative to attack, with 70,000 troops, decisively attacked the 150,000 Ming army and the Houjin Tartar coalition army, which Chen Xinjia, Wang Daozhi and Dolgon did not expect, and what they even more unexpected was that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were actually divided into three, each with a strong target.

The beginning of the battle still began with the bombardment of artillery, and at the beginning of the hour, the artillery battalion of the Jiangning battalion began to bombard.

The sky was full of yellow sand, huge mud blocks were bombarded into the air, accompanied by scattered blood stains, scattered all around, some mud and stones were repeatedly blown into the air, and the rumbling cannon sound was unbearable for people's ears.

After so many battles, the artillery has been difficult to form a fatal blow to the Datong border army and the Houjin Tartars, the Datong border army is familiar with the sharpness of the Jiangning battalion artillery, so when choosing the place of engagement, this was taken into account, fighting in the valley, the power of the artillery is discounted, but Chen Xinjia and others still did not expect that the sergeants under their command have never seen such a scale of artillery. I had never seen such a scale of launch and bombing, a whole half an hour of bombing, and in some places a layer of ground was peeled off.

This kind of momentum deterrence is also not small.

When the artillery bombarded, Chen Xinjia and the others could not mobilize a large army, which would cause greater casualties. Only after the artillery stopped attacking that the matter of full deployment against the fight began.

As soon as the artillery stopped, the earth-shattering drums rang out.

The first to attack was the 30,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers led by He Renlong, they all attacked, leaving no reserves, the scale of the 30,000 charge was not small, most of them were cavalry, and the sound of horses' hooves made the earth tremble.

The fortifications built by the Datong border army have long been blown up by artillery without a trace. At this time, they could only choose to fight face-to-face, seeing such a large-scale offensive momentum of the Jiangning battalion, Wang Daozhi, who commanded the operation, knew very well that he could not preserve his strength, and the 50,000 troops must all be dispatched, otherwise they would fall into passivity at the beginning, and it would be difficult to recover morale later.

The two armies collided in the middle of the valley. The loud crash can be heard even miles away. The shouts of killing drowned out all the wails and screams, and the sound of swords clashing drowned out some of the flintlock pistols.

At the same time that Wang Daozhi ordered 50,000 soldiers to attack on all fronts, he ordered the heralds to urgently report to Chen Xinjia, who was on the top of the mountain, and asked the Manchurian Eight Banners to also be fully dispatched. Overall, it is not as good as the Jiangning Battalion, but with the addition of the Eight Banners, the situation is different.

Enchi led the army to charge, and he angrily scolded his own soldiers for not caring about his own safety. Fighting hard to kill the enemy is the king, it's time to do it, the attack has begun, don't think about your own safety, He Renlong stayed behind to coordinate and command, he was injured or even killed, and the problem was not very big.

In a short period of time, Ainengqi became a bloody man, of course, the blood on his body was not his own, but the blood of the Datong border army that was killed, and the bloody atmosphere in the air could make people more crazy and killing.

30,000 against 50,000, the opponent also attacked on all fronts, without retaining any strength, this is a real fight.

With the deterrence of the artillery in front and the role of the flintlock pistol, at the beginning of the attack, the 30,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion occupied an absolute advantage, and the 50,000 Datong border troops were pressed backwards, but after all, the Datong border army has experienced tempering and participated in a lot of battles.

This is also because they have a bottom in their hearts, they have something to rely on, there are 50,000 soldiers with eight banners behind them, and they will soon join the war group, and there are 50,000 reinforcements not far away, as long as they can grit their teeth and persevere, it will not take long for the battle situation to change.

The brutal fighting began to continue.

But as long as you look closely, you can find a strange place, that is, the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, who have the advantage of the battle situation, did not advance on a large scale, and the pace was even a little slow.

Chen Xinjia, who was on the top of the mountain, watched all this with a telescope in his hand.

When the artillery began to attack, he was in the cave halfway up the mountain, and the temporary Chinese military tent on the mountain peak was blown up to the sky by the artillery, and after the artillery stopped attacking, Chen Xinjia quickly went up the mountain, and when the soldiers around him were busy preparing to build the Chinese military tent again, Chen Xinjia angrily reprimanded, isn't it self-exposing the target to build the Chinese military tent here at this moment.

At the beginning of the attack, the Jiangning battalion had a great advantage, and Chen Xinjia was not in a hurry at all, although Wang Daozhi's request had already been sent by the heralds.

Chen Xinjia has to wait, and when the battle shows a stalemate, the sergeants of the Eight Banners will be dispatched, so that the attacking Jiangning battalion can collapse in one fell swoop, and when the other party's momentum is in full swing, the effect of reinforcements will not be very good.

What satisfied Chen Xinjia was that the combat effectiveness of the Datong border army was still good, at least it was able to withstand the incomparably brave charge of the Jiangning battalion, and there was no situation of collapse, which was not simple.

But the heavy casualties of the Datong border army still surprised Chen Xinjia a little, and his body trembled slightly.

This is the first time he has seen the battle of the Jiangning battalion, he has imagined the bravery of the Jiangning battalion before, but he has never seen it, this time he saw it, I don't know what the road is for, the momentum shown by the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion in the charge made him, a commander who had seen a big battle, feel frightened.

The fighting lasted for more than an hour, seeing that the 50,000 Datong border army had reached the point of hard support, there were casualties on both sides, but the Datong border army was obviously much heavier, the momentum on the battlefield had a subtle change, the bloody atmosphere was more thick, the visual casualties, the Datong border army at least exceeded 10,000 people, fortunately, the Jiangning battalion did not pursue hard, which made the casualties of the Datong border army slightly better.

Chen Xinjia has never been able to understand that the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, who have the advantage, have not made great strides to advance for nothing, and strive to be able to defeat the Datong border army.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xinjia patted his head in annoyance, in fact, this question is very simple, the strength of the Jiangning battalion is insufficient, and he does not dare to pursue in great strides, if he falls into a heavy encirclement, he is afraid of the fate of annihilation.

When it was almost noon, the herald sent by Wang Daozhi had already run more than ten times, and Wang Daozhi's tone was getting more and more severe, forgetting that Chen Xinjia was the cabinet assistant of the imperial court and the marshal of this campaign, Wang Daozhi meant, the casualties of the 50,000 Datong border army were too great, and the soldiers could not support it.

Chen Xinjia finally made up his mind.

The order was swiftly delivered.

Dolgon had already made all the preparations, he also selected a mountain peak, and watched the battle on the top of the mountain, the bravery of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion made his ominous premonition more and more clear, this is an incomparably brave army, which can be said to be invincible and invincible.

Dolgon, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, knows very well the psychology of the soldiers under his command, some sergeants fight, in order to support their families, for money, in order to survive, such sergeants, can exert great power, affected by the cruel situation on the battlefield, will forget to protect their own lives, and will also fight desperately, but such sergeants, the biggest weakness is that once the battle situation is unfavorable, they are easy to collapse, at a loss, or even give up resistance, scatter and flee, led to the complete collapse and defeat of the battle, another kind of sergeant, the situation is different, such a sergeant, regard the honor of the army as the supreme law, even if it is to sacrifice his own life, to maintain the honor of the army, such a sergeant, no matter what kind of situation he faces, will not give up resistance, even if there is the last person left, he will fight to the end.

From the offensive charge of the Jiangning battalion, Dolgon felt such momentum.

The bloodshed of the battlefield can't affect Dolgon, he has seen too many such situations, but the momentum of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion made Dolgon's body tremble slightly, and he finally understood that the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom would be defeated under the command of the Jiangning battalion, and it was not a failure, in the face of such an army, it was almost impossible to completely defeat.

For Chen Xinjia's calmness, Dolgon expressed his admiration, the commander of the battle can not be in a hurry, can not be confused because of temporary casualties, although the battle on the battlefield is very tragic, although the losses of the army seem to be very heavy, but Chen Xinjia is not in a hurry to ask for the full eight banners to attack, which shows that Chen Xinjia's observation is very careful, is able to grasp the best opportunity to attack.

After receiving the order, Dolgon hesitated slightly, his idea was to let more than 50,000 warriors attack on all fronts, so that they could defeat the attacking Jiangning battalion sergeants in the shortest possible time, but the staff around him resolutely disagreed, and the staff's opinion was also reasonable, this was only the first wave of charges launched by the Jiangning battalion, who knew that there was still a team without preparation, if the army all rushed up, the reinforcements of the Jiangning battalion came up, and the army fell into a bitter struggle, and it was not so easy to get out.
