When Baduli arrived, he was very surprised to see that there were only about 60 people left in the Houjin army. I hurriedly asked why. Because this Houjin army is all bannermen with blue flags, and after suffering such a big loss, Baduli feels very painful.

When he learned that these bannermen had been killed by the firearms, Baduli frowned, and then he asked, "Do you know which Ming army this is?" ”

The leader of the Houjin army replied: "The minions didn't see the banner clearly, but looking at the appearance of those Ming weapons, it seems to be white pole soldiers. ”

The white pole gun used by the white pole soldier is not only white, but also has an iron cross next to its head, which is somewhat similar to a halberd, so it is easy to recognize. And because the white pole soldiers once fought fiercely with the Houjin army in Liaodong, the veterans of the Houjin army basically knew this Ming Dynasty powerhouse.

Knowing that the opponent was a white pole soldier, Baduli's brows furrowed even tighter. Don't look at Batuli's reckless appearance on the surface, but his personality on the battlefield is not impulsive.

So Baduli then asked, "How far were you from the Ming army at that time?" ”

"About sixty or seventy steps."

"Sixty or seventy steps?" A Houjin general on the side exclaimed: "When did the Ming army's firecrackers hit so far? ”

The minion couldn't believe it either. But when the firecrackers came, they knocked down thirty or forty of the soldiers at once. The minions hurriedly retreated to get away with it. The minion estimated that this firearm could hit a distance of 100 paces. ”

After hearing this, Batuli thought quietly. In the past, those white-pole soldiers were so difficult to deal with, but now that they have such powerful firearms, relying on their own 1,800 soldiers and horses, this battle is not easy to fight!

Baduli thought that before he left, Belle Ye Amin privately confessed to himself that he should try his best to protect the bannermen with blue flags, and not fight to the death with the Ming army. Suddenly, Baduli made a decision, when the Ming army marched tomorrow, let those Mongol soldiers test it again, and if it was a stone, don't try their teeth again. It still matters if it's a flag with a blue flag.

The next day, when the spies of Qin Liangyu's army reported that they had discovered the Houjin army, the army had already felt the vibration of horses in the distance. All the people looked in the direction of the arrival of the Houjin army.

Qin Liangyu immediately ordered the soldiers to come out of the marching army column and line up. She asked all of Wu Shigong's cavalry and the cavalry of the white pole soldiers, a total of more than 600 cavalry, to be gathered together, and let Wu Shigong's cavalry commander Xue Qiang take unified command and put them on the right side of the formation.

Qin Liangyu divided the soldiers of the white pole soldiers into two teams, which were lined up in the middle and on the left respectively. The white pole soldiers were indeed well-trained, and soon lined up in formation, ready to fight the cavalry of the Houjin army.

And because he saw the power of the firecracker yesterday, Qin Liangyu asked Wu Shigong to make soy sauce, and let Wu Shigong lead the rest of his infantry, with all the firecrackers and artillery, to protect the supplies and those young men behind the formation.

Wu Shigong also used the old method, first surrounded all the carts in a circle, and let all the young men and his soldiers stay in the cart circle.

It can be seen from this that although Qin Liangyu has a lot of military experience, she has also used firecrackers and artillery before, and she also affirmed some of the power of firecrackers and artillery. However, Qin Liangyu still has no intuitive understanding of the huge power generated by the large-scale use of firearms.

So at this time, when he was fighting with the Houjin army, Qin Liangyu was willing to believe in the cold weapons in the hands of the white pole soldiers, but he still didn't believe much in the role of firearms, so he left Wu Shigong's guns and artillery behind.

But what Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong didn't expect was that they thought that this Houjin army would definitely face a fierce battle when they came with the momentum of defeating the two Ming armies. But when it came to Zuihou, the attack of the Houjin army was anticlimactic.

First of all, Baduli sent a team of cavalry to contain Xue Qiang's cavalry on the right flank. Then more than 200 Mongol troops were sent to tentatively attack the middle formation of the white pole soldiers. The Mongol army still used the old routine, dismounting at a distance of about 120 paces and shooting arrows with longbows to disrupt the formation of the white-pole soldiers in the middle.

But as soon as these Mongol troops got off their horses, a group of soldiers galloped out of the formation of white-pole soldiers. By the time the Mongols had just finished shooting the first round of arrows, the white-pole soldiers had already run more than twenty paces.

You must know that after dismounting, the archers have no combat effectiveness at all after being approached by the enemy's soldiers. Therefore, when the Mongols saw the white-pole soldiers running over, they immediately found their horses and mounted them.

But in such a short period of time, these white pole soldiers had already run to a distance of about twenty paces from the Mongol army. The white-pole soldiers all had throwing guns in their hands. As soon as they threw their guns out, they shot down a Mongol army. Luckily, they were not hit by the guns, and the Mongol army, who had already mounted their horses, turned their heads and ran back, trying to widen the distance between them and these white pole soldiers. However, because the speed of their horses was not raised, the few Mongol soldiers who were lagging behind were still stabbed under the horses by the white-pole soldiers.

And when the Houjin army behind Baduli stepped forward to support, Qin Liangyu's white pole soldier formation also pressed up. In this trial, forty or fifty people were killed or wounded on both sides. It can be said that it was a tie.

Then, Baduli sent another 500 Mongol troops as the front team, lined up the cavalry formation, and wanted to force Qin Liangyu's white pole soldier formation. But when they rushed to the formation, the well-trained white pole soldiers did not panic at all. They all poked their spears forward and formed a gun formation, waiting for the Mongols to collide.

Of course, these Mongol troops refused to send them to death in front of the gun array, so these Mongolian troops also braked sharply in front of the gun array. But a dozen horses still couldn't hold their feet and crashed into the gun array and died. Several Mongol soldiers were thrown under their horses by the sharply turning horses, and they were also stabbed to death by the white pole soldiers who had picked up the leaks. In this confrontation, the Houjin army suffered some losses.

Seeing that both of his attacks were easily handled by the White Pole Soldiers, and until now, Batu Li had not seen the White Pole Soldiers use firearms. Ba Duli felt that he had not forced out the magic weapon of the white pole soldier at all.

After weighing it for a while, he felt that he had basically completed the task of fighting and harassing the Ming army, so Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and he took the Houjin army away from the battlefield and returned to Yongping City to resume his life.

At the beginning of the battle, Wu Shigong was still standing on the roof of a large car in the circle of big cars, wanting to observe the progress of the battle. However, he only saw the back of the white pole soldiers' heads, and he couldn't see what was happening in front of him at all. Boredom, Wu Shigong just sat on the roof of the car and spent the whole battle.

And because Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong both cherished these cavalry very much, Qin Liangyu asked Xue Qiang's cavalry not to go out to participate in the battle as much as possible, as long as they protected the formation of the white pole soldiers.

Therefore, under the containment of the Houjin army, Xue Qiang's cavalry did not make any combat moves. But you must know that after any kind of military is trained, it must be used. It is a very stupid behavior to dare not use this type of army for fear of loss.

Of course, in this battle, the consequences of such stupidity were not manifested. But at least in the process of marching, in order to keep his cavalry from suffering, he gave up reconnaissance and strangulation, which also caused Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong's march to be very passive. Of course, because these two men could not easily obtain horses and train cavalry, it was understandable that this kind of special caution in the use of cavalry was also understandable.

Without the threat of the Houjin army without Baduli, under Qin Liangyu's order, the army began a high-speed rapid march again. Qin Liangyu's army rushed to Luanzhou City that night. And about five miles away from Luanzhou City, he found a suitable flat land and began to build a large camp overnight.

This time to build the camp, except for those young and strong, all the other soldiers also started together. They did not care about the fatigue of fighting and marching during the day, and worked hard to build for their own lives.

By the morning of the next day, the whole camp had begun to grow in size. The generals of the Houjin Army who observed the movements of the Ming army in Luanzhou City were all dumbfounded. After two days of construction, the entire camp has completely become a strengthened version of Wu Shigong's Turtle Flow camp.

And when Baduli thought that he had saved the flag with the blue flag, after returning to Yongping City, he was scolded by the grumpy Amin pointing his nose, and when he arrived at Zuihou, Amin who couldn't suppress his anger also whipped Baduli a few times.

Amin believed that Baduli should join the Houjin army in Luanzhou City, plus the reinforcements of the Houjin army sent by Yongping City, give full play to the advantages of the Houjin army in field warfare, and conduct a battle with Qin Liangyu's army under Luanzhou City.

In this battle, the Houjin army also had to defeat it with all its might, regardless of its own casualties, and take a step back to cripple Qin Liangyu's army, so that Qin Liangyu's army lost the ability to attack Luanzhou City. In order to ensure the active position of the Houjin army in maintaining the battle of the four cities of Yongping.

It can be seen from this that although there are deep contradictions between these people in power in the Later Jin, they still work together in the process of facing the Ming army. In comparison, for the scattered Ming army, the actions of friendly and neighboring troops supporting each other are extremely rare!

Amin immediately sent someone to Luanzhou City to contact, wanting to make amends. However, the news from Luanzhou City told Amin that Qin Liangyu's army had built a very strong camp. Now if you want to defeat this Ming army, it will become a tough battle with heavy casualties. In this way, the Houjin army lost an opportunity to defeat Qin Liangyu's army.

At this time, the three Ming armies that withdrew were also severely reprimanded by Sun Chengzong and the imperial court. Sun Chengzong ordered them to rush to Luanzhou City as quickly as possible to join Qin Liangyu and attack Luanzhou City together.

So, after forcibly recruiting a large number of nearby people, the three main forces of the Ming army led by Zu Dashou marched day and night, with six red-coated cannons, towards Luanzhou City.
