"Order Li Jiu and Ning Yuan to reinforce our army at full speed."

"Order Han Xiu's entire army to go north and cross the river to fight."

"Order Liu Meng, Tian Jianxiu, and Liu Fangliang, once the Tartars besiege our army on the east bank of Jushui, immediately join forces with 100,000 troops to flank the attack."

"Order Meng Ke and Chizhou to take a defensive position on the eastern front, and transfer the remaining troops to cross from the north of the Jiujiang River to seize the gap between the southern foot of the Dabie Mountain and the Yangtze River, so as to prevent Azig from fleeing eastward from this gap."

Qin Mu's orders were issued like a stream, and one by one the heralds galloped away, and the feathers galloped without stopping.

When Huo Sheng, Su Jin and the others heard this, their blood boiled instantly, and their hearts were full of energy.

At this time, they knew that Qin Mu decided to cross the river to the east, definitely not just by virtue of a bloody bravery, he did not order to cross the river immediately, but to wait until tomorrow, just to buy time for these deployments.

It is already obvious that Qin Mu not only wants to fight against the water, but also uses himself, the commander of the three armies, as a bait to attract all the forces of Azig;

Then gather all the forces that the Qin army can draw, plus the rest of the original Dashun army, a total of more than 200,000 troops, and have a huge battle with Azig.

And the goal of this battle is to completely wipe out the Qing army of Azig, at least to bite off a large piece of his flesh, so that the Manchus will be in pain.

Qin Mu also knew in his heart that it would be difficult to completely annihilate the men and horses of Azig, because the other party was full of cavalry and was very mobile.

It is already late April, and the Jushui River will usher in the flood season, which is a good barrier, and after Li Jiu and Ning Yuan arrive, they will have the opportunity to block Azig in the area east of the Jushui River and west of the Dabie Mountain and the Yangtze River Pass;

This area is not large, about 200 miles from north to south, and only more than 100 miles wide from east to west;

And Qin Mu will invest more than 200,000 troops in this small area.

Among them, Liu Fangliang and Tian Jianxiu had nearly 20,000 cavalry, plus 10,000 from Qin Mu. Pursued with cavalry. With infantry encirclement, there is still a possibility of total annihilation of Azig.

This is a battle with both opportunities and risks, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Qin Mu is willing to work a hundred times harder for this;

Because the total number of troops in the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners is only about 100,000, plus the Han Eight Banners is only 12 to 130,000.

The Azig army had about 35,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers, and if they could be completely annihilated, for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it would be no different from being half paralyzed.

Don't look at the hundreds of thousands of green battalion soldiers that Duoduo has recruited, if the entire army on Azig's side is wiped out, it can be sure. At least more than half of the hundreds of thousands of Green Battalion soldiers in Dodor will immediately defect.

It was with these in mind that Qin Mu decided to take a big gamble.

And the key to this battle is whether Qin Mu's banner can always stand on the east bank of Jushui, 20,000 against 50,000, infantry against cavalry, in this field of Ma Pingchuan, this is a big gamble of nine deaths and a life.

On the second day, Qin Mu led 20,000 horses to cross the east bank of Jushui from a place called Xu Zhiyuan.

Choosing to cross the river here, Qin Mu took great pains. There is also a small river two zhang wide in the east of this place, which joins the lifting water, forming a "U" shaped angle with the lifting water.

This small river did not form a significant obstacle to the infantry, but it effectively hindered the speed of the cavalry. Moreover, before the army crossed the river, Qin Mu had ordered a small group of men and horses to go over first and lay some sharp wooden stakes in this small river.

In this way, the cavalry wanted to launch a fierce attack on the Qin army. You can only charge from one direction through the "U" notch in the northeast direction.

Qin Mu made all kinds of preparations before crossing the river, but Azig did not attack halfway, but waited for Qin Mu to cross the east bank with a group of Zuihou soldiers.

Looks like Azig has a big appetite!

Look at the ghostly black line on the horizon. Qin Mu smiled coldly, come on, either you swallow Lao Tzu in one bite, or Lao Tzu will knock off your teeth.

As the black line on the horizon got closer and closer, the trembling sensation on the ground became more and more intense, and the noisy smoke and dust rolled up dozens of feet high, and the muffled thunderous sound shook people's hearts for a while.

The flag is like a bird's wing, and the dark yellow dust is thousands of miles. The whining horn sounded, and a solemn and solemn aura permeated the plains, giving people a heavy sense of oppression, making people almost breathless.

The Qin army's horses began to neigh, looking restless; The soldiers were silent, staring at Huang Yun who was pressing directly and holding their breath.

Qin Mu stood on a dirt bag, and when he saw this, he immediately drew his sword and shouted at the three sergeants: "Soldiers, are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," the soldiers replied loudly, but their voices were clearly not loud enough.

Qin Mu roared awe-inspiringly: "If you are afraid, throw away your weapons, kneel down like slaves, kowtow to the Tartars and beg for mercy, maybe the Tartars will spare your lives; But they may also cut off your heads without any concern and then point a knife at your bones and say, 'Look, this is a slave.' 'Tell me aloud, 'Will you be slaves?' Are you willing to be slaughtered? ”

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

"Then hold on to your swords and spears and slash at your enemies! Chop off the heads of your enemies, step on them a few more times, and tell them with bloody facts who is the master of this land, beat the drums! ”

With Qin Mu's roar, the shirtless sergeant beat the huge drum in the army fiercely, and the rumbling sound shook the nine heavens, making people's blood surge, and the scalp was almost exploding.

The blood and courage of the Qin army was once again stimulated, and he rushed straight into the sky with his murderous aura, dispelling the sense of oppression brought by the enemy.

The Qing army stopped three miles away, and under the smoke and dust, flags were waving, and the whining horns were like a burst, and then thousands of Tartars crossed the east bank of the river, intending to flank the Qin army on both sides.

Immediately afterward, another 2,000 Tartars rode out of the battle.

Leading the 2,000 cavalry of the Qing army to charge from the front was the Qing general Tong Dai, who was Meile Zhangjing, equivalent to the position of deputy chief soldier in the Ming army.

Of his two thousand cavalry, there were 1,000 pikemen and 1,000 musketeers, each of whom had a two-zhang long horse pistol, which was erected like a forest, and each of them was equipped with sabers and bows and arrows.

The musketeers were armed with a bird gun, most of which were captured from the Ming army. Compared with other muskets of the same period, the Ming army's bird guns had the characteristics of long barrels, small caliber, light weight, and easy to use. The range can reach about 200 steps, and heavy armor can be pierced within 70 steps. In addition, each Tartar musketeer was also armed with a saber and a bow and arrow.

In the urging sound of horns, the war horse began to take small steps and gradually accelerated, and the sonorous sound gradually sounded, and a cold murderous aura came to the face.

And on the side of the Qin army, the banner hunting, the soldier holding the giant shield died in front, the whole army lined up in a neat phalanx, the Pleiades stepped forward, and countless Jin Ge pointed to the sky, which was like a forest.

The entire military formation is integrated, dignified as a mountain, and every step out has the potential to destroy the mountains and the sea.

In the thunderous sound of war drums, in the solemn footsteps, the eyes of the three sergeants were like fire, and they roared in unison, this kind of hoarse and rough voice roared out, without substance, but like ten thousand tigers roaring together, the beasts were terrified, and the stone broke the earth, which seemed infinitely tragic and passionate, completely suppressed the sound of the enemy's galloping iron hooves;

The enemy who also galloped became a silent picture, as if a poke could pierce the drawing paper.

The frenzied horses' hooves, the flying sand and mud, the slaughtering sky, and the long smoke and dust, swept in one after another.

The earth was trembling, the heart was numb by the heavy drum, the Qin army roared in unison, and the huge iron shield slammed to the ground, layer upon layer, and quickly built a solid shield wall in the north;

Between the gaps in the shield wall, the tail of a pole and two feet long repelled horse pistol was pressed into the mud, and the tip of the spear pointed diagonally forward through the shield wall, waiting to pierce the enemy's spear on the tip of the spear.

Under Tong Dai's command, the musketeers in front of them rushed to seventy or eighty steps away from the Qin army's shield wall before they took a point, quickly drawing two arcs of death.

Then everyone let go of the reins and drove the galloping war horse with their feet, and the bird guns in their hands raised and pointed at the shield wall of the Qin army, pulled the trigger, and pressed the burning arquebus to the medicine nest.

Bang! Woohoo!

As the guns rang out, bullets whistled out of the chamber and burst into the shield wall of the Qin army, the ping-pong rang non-stop, and the bullets that passed through the gap pierced the soldier's armor, bringing out a puff of blood, the dead fell to the ground, and the shield wall was in chaos.

After the Tartar shot a shot, he immediately replaced his longbow, and rows of arrows rained into the air, and the cold arrows were thrown into the Qin army's shield wall with the ghostly light of death, and the casualties caused made the shield wall in front even more shaky.

At this time, the spearmen of the rear captain of the Tartars gathered like a mountain, and countless spears shook their front fingers, like a forest whirling around. The galloping war horses and the roaring roar are bound to destroy the mountains and seas.

Just when Tong Dai was a little strange and the Qin army did not fight back, Qin Mu shook the command flag on the small earthen bag, and the shield soldiers on the front suddenly raised their shields and flew back, revealing a row of chariots connected by iron chains behind them.

On the chariot, two Hongyi cannons, ten thousand pound Buddha cannons, hundreds of hundred tigers rushed arrows together, and the muzzles of the guns were black holes in the Tartar pikemen who rushed in, exuding a strong breath of death.

Seeing this scene, the Tartar pikemen who rushed into a hundred paces were so frightened that some subconsciously strangled their horses, and some howled and turned, trying to escape from this area shrouded in death.

However, it was too late.

Rumble! Boom Boom!

The fire rushing out of the muzzle of the cannon was like the mouth of death's blood plate, and countless finger-sized iron beads erupted out, forming a barrage, and hundreds of tigers rushed to shoot arrows one after another, like a sandstorm rolled up by a hurricane, swept in, and the tartars with broken hearts and gallbladders were swept down piece by piece like dried wheat, and the war horses neighed, the wounded howled, and the blood flowed, like hell on earth
