Dorgon was calm on the surface, but he was restless on the surface. Xue Yongli was calm on the surface, but he was restless on the surface. Faced with the national war that was about to begin, both of these two coaches were a little nervous.

However, it took a long time for the formation of more than 100,000 troops to be formed before the war. However, the two armies patiently arranged their own troops and did not harass the enemy's formation. Even the common cavalry before the war, provoking the enemy's formation and the pursuit of cavalry between small cavalrymen did not appear. Today, they decided to decide the winner, so the two commanders were not interested in playing some tricks.

But while waiting, several Qing soldiers ran from the direction of Shanhaiguan. They reported an urgent letter to Dorgon. When Dorgon took apart, he immediately smiled. Then he announced loudly to the Qing generals around him: "Sony and the others fought well! Repel Wu Ni's troops rescued Liaodong and the two cities. You must fight well, don't let Sony and the others show their limelight in front of you!"

"Okay!" Good news came before the war, which was really a good sign. So a cheer immediately broke out under the Central Army Commander.

Looking at the cheers of the generals, Dorgon still kept smiling, and then he stuffed the urgent report into his arms. The urgent report was indeed sent by Sony. However, the content was not the good news Dorgon mentioned, but only the notification: Sony's detective cavalry and Pegasus Town have met, and they may soon start a war with Pegasus Town. Of course, Sony's sending urgent report means that Dorgon will send more reinforcements.

However, after receiving this urgent report, Dorgon felt much more relieved. He thought he seemed to understand the reason. It turned out that in order to hold the main force of the Qing army and prevent Dorgon from sending troops to support Sony's troops, the Daping Army would turn the defense and attack in an abnormal manner. After understanding this reason, Dorgon felt relieved. With the result, he was much better than random guessing.

Besides, now because Shanhaiguan is in the hands of the Qing army, the Qing army is actually fighting on the inside. As long as the main force of the Daping Army in front of him is repelled, the Qing army can easily support the Sony headquarters through Shanhaiguan. It can even seize the flaws in the Daping Army's offensive and make a final decision. Of course, Dorgon hopes that Abatai's troops will appear most.

The reason why Dorgon concealed the generals around him just now was because the Sony army had just contacted Pegasus Town, and no war reports had been reported. So why should Dorgon distract the generals? Everything is focused on the decisive battle in front of him.

It is interesting that before the decisive battle, Dorgon placed his hope for victory on the threat of Abatai's troops to the Daping Army's retreat; and Xue Yongli placed his hope for victory on the rebellion of the Han army and the arrival of reinforcements. Both commanders did not understand the situation of other war zones because of poor information. They also placed their hope on the off-balance moves outside the battlefield.

On the other hand, Dorgon and Xue Yongli also won the confidence of their army in today's decisive battle with their own strength.

"Master! How should I fight?" Seeing that both sides were about to complete the array, Tubery asked Dorgon.

"Just follow the old routine I used to fight a few days ago and let the Han army flag in front rush first." Dorgon replied.

Dorgon responded to changes in a constant way, and wanted to make Xue Yongli on the opposite side have an illusion. It seemed that the Qing army did not notice anything unusual in the Daping Army, which attracted Xue Yongli to make command errors.

With Dorgon's order, the more than 20,000 Han troops in the front of the Qing army slowly pressed towards the Daping Army's main formation under the cover of the front row of chariots.

The Qing army now also had the experience of fighting against the Daping Army. Therefore, their chariots were divided and they would not concentrate on shooting the artillery of the Daping Army. Moreover, they completely gave up the tactic of cavalry charge, which was to limit the Daping Army's firearms to show their power. So the first thing they did was to fight infantry against infantry.

Seeing that the Qing army still maintained its normal attack, Xue Yongli couldn't help but say "Huh".

The 100,000 troops were out of the camp early, and there was no way to hide it. Xue Yongli never thought of hiding it. But according to Xue Yongli's understanding, the Qing army's tactics would definitely make corresponding changes. Unexpectedly, the Qing army is still the same, which made Xue Yongli have a lot of suspicion.

Did the Qing army have discovered that the Han army has rebelled? Did the Qing army want to use a trick? Is there something unexpected that I don’t know? Question marks emerged in Xue Yongli’s mind.

However, the Qing army had already attacked first according to the old routine, so the Daping army gave up the strong attack and defended first according to the old routine! So Xue Yongli made a gesture and asked the troops to defend first. Then the personal soldiers immediately ran along the passage to the front troops and passed Xue Yongli's orders to all places.

The subsequent battle situation was like a re-enactment a few days ago. The first one was the artillery of the Daping Army. However, the Qing army's scattered chariots were relatively scattered and the cannons could not be concentrated. Therefore, although the shells destroyed many chariots, the losses were still within the scope of the Qing army's bearing. With the cover of the chariots, long-range firepower such as muskets and swarms of horns had no shooting effect. Therefore, the Daping Army simply did not use these firepower.

When the Qing army's chariots approached, the Daping Army's phalanx had already arranged the spear formation. After the Qing army behind the chariots rushed out, they immediately threw a large number of javelins and flying axes at the Daping Army to disrupt the Daping Army's spear formation.

However, under the cover of the free shooting of the musketeers, the Daping Army's spear formation began to assassinate forward, and the number of casualties between the two sides gradually increased. However, after not long battles, seeing that the Daping Army's formation was still intact, the Qing army began to sing gold, so the fighting Qing soldiers also dragged their chariots back to their own formation.

According to the old routine, the Qing army should have withdrawn their troops after a few battles of the same battle and ended the day's battle. However, the subsequent battle was out of this trajectory.

Seeing the Qing army's retreat, Xue Yongli immediately ordered: "The ten regiments in the front row maintain the square formation and move forward at the speed of inspection."

The review speed of the Daping Army was equivalent to modern time, and it took about seventy or eighty steps in one minute. So the drummers of each regiment beat the war drums, and the ten square formations composed of ten regiments in the front row also stepped forward with the drum beats.

Seeing the ten square formations of the Daping Army standing with spears and walking forward in uniform steps, the Qing soldiers who didn't know the inside story widened their eyes and found it difficult to accept the sudden change in the Daping Army's tactics.

Tubery and others, who knew that the Daping Army might have abnormal movements, pointed to the Daping Army's phalanx and shouted excitedly: "Come here! They are attacking!"
