Yue Le is twenty-seven years old this year. Young does not mean incompetence. When he led his troops to fight for the first time at the age of fifteen, Yue Le showed outstanding battlefield insight. In the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, except for the dead Haoge, Yue Le was ranked. This is also the reason why Jiergalang was relieved to hand over the Western Front and more than 100,000 troops to Yue Le.

During the Northern Expedition of the Ming army in the Southern Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's intelligence work was done very promptly. From Zhu Hongsan set out from Yangzhou, we knew here that Zhu Hongsan was not a bragging army of millions, but a large army of 300,000 (in fact, there were no 300,000 people, Zhu Hongsan's main force had a total of 210,000 troops, and the other 80,000 to 90,000 were logistics and supplies troops). Later, Zhu Hongsan divided his troops in Suqian and took more than 30,000 troops to the canal north. Yue Le knew clearly (in fact, there were no 30,000 people following Zhu Hongsan, and only 15,000 musket soldiers, and there were 5,000 Jinyiwei. The rest were recruited boatmen, and the Qing Dynasty also counted these people as the main force).

150,000 vs. 30,000. Although the Ming army had the advantage of firearms, the number was too different. Yue Le was ready to wipe out the Ming army in one go from the beginning.

According to Yue Le's estimate, the fog is now covered with heavy fog and the terrain of the Ming army is not familiar. At this time, the Ming army on the lake is fighting, and the Ming army on the shore will be in chaos. As long as its cavalry appears in front of the Ming army, the Ming army will definitely flee in panic. Because of this, Yue Le decided to send 20,000 cavalry to drive the Ming army out of the tent in one go before the fog dissipates, and then the cavalry followed and killed. This was how the Qing Dynasty did in the Battle of Sarhu that year. After defeating the three Ming troops, they followed and chased. In the end, less than 10,000 Ming troops who had been through many battles in Korea survived less than 10,000.

After Yue Le sent out two forwards, a dense sound of gunfire came from the front. This sound was even more dense than the sound of Ming munitions back then. It seemed that Jiergalang said that the Southern Ming army was good at using firearms. Then there was a thunderous fight. It seemed that Bagen and Hasen had rushed in.

Yue Le originally thought the battle would end soon, but half an hour later, the news sent back by the messengers in front was that most of the 20,000 Mongolian cavalry were wiped out, and less than 6,000 people fled back.

Yue Le was shocked when he heard this. After less than an hour of war, more than 10,000 casualties were killed and killed. How could he fight? Ming munitions are too powerful!

The general behind Yue Le, Mu Shan, heard the defeat of the Mongolian cavalry, said disdainfully: "These Mongolians have forgotten how to fight! Prince An, ask Mu Shan to take people to try the Ming army's weight!"

Mushan was the commander of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty brought by Yue Le this time. He fought with Jiangrang in Shanxi for many years and looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. Moreover, because the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were all wearing heavy armor, they still had some resistance to the kind of muskets of the Ming army, so Mushan wanted to make this contribution.

Yue Le shook his head and refused to allow Mu Shan to fight. Yue Le is not a general who has no heads. Now the curtain is full of people, and he can't see anything clearly beyond a hundred meters. It's a loss to rush up like this.

"Send the order, Harbala surrounds the south of the Ming army, Baolide goes to the east and the west to Oboi. All the generals are not allowed to fight without my order, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

Yue Le’s plan was to wait until the fog dissipated. After all, this kind of heavy fog weather was at a disadvantage on both sides.

At this time, the sun had risen, and the fog slowly dissipated under the sunlight. When Zhu Hongsan saw that the Qing army did not attack, he knew that the opponent was afraid that the fog would block the view, so he prepared for the fog to stop the fog. So Zhu Hongsan seized this opportunity and asked his soldiers to prepare and must hold on to the camp wall. As long as Li Yuanyin's cavalry arrived, there would be hope to defeat the Qing army.

As the sun rose and the surface temperature increased, the heavy fog around Anshan Lake finally dissipated around nine o'clock. Both armies who saw clearly were shocked.

Zhu Hongsan didn't expect that so many Qing troops would come. Five miles away from the camp, there were a large number of cavalrymen. Except for Anshan Lake, which was backed by the other three directions, there were Qing troops. This number of people was not the 50,000 people mentioned in the intelligence. Zhu Hongsan looked at it roughly and found that there were at least 100,000 people.

Zhu Hongsan was no longer interested in scolding the spies of the Jinyiwei, because he saw that most of the transport fleet in the lake had been burned down, and less than a dozen were still floating on the water. Some Ming soldiers who fell into the water were swimming hard towards the camp.

Seeing that his supplies had turned into fish food in Anshan Lake, Zhu Hongsan cursed angrily: "What information did Qian Lide, this bastard, send him? Li Chengen?" Zhu Hongsan was about to ask Li Chengen to investigate the Jinyiwei after finishing the matter, but then he remembered that Li Chengen was sent by him to protect the emperor's grandson and was not by his side. There was no way Zhu Hongsan had to swallow this first, and wait until the war was over. It would be best if he could go back alive!

Yue Le on the opposite side was also surprised to see the Ming army's situation. He did not expect that the Ming army's wall was so tall. Yue Le found that the Ming army's camp opposite was different from the Ming army before. The Ming army used wood to camp, but the Ming army used soil. Of course, there are many benefits of doing this, at least much stronger than the wooden one, and the height is much higher. The wooden camp is only more than one person tall, and better horses can jump over it directly. However, the Ming army camp opposite was 100,500 meters tall, and the width was 30 meters long. The most critical camp has a shooting hole every other section, which seems to be a cannon inside.

Yue Le roughly estimated that there were hundreds of artillery guns in such a Ming army, so how could it be alive? Seeing this Yue Le understood why the 20,000 Mongolian cavalry were killed and defeated just now. This kind of camp, plus a sufficient number of artillery guns, would definitely not be able to attack.

When Yue Le saw Ming's arms sharp, he secretly scolded himself for being too confident. If he had known Ming's arms were so powerful, he would not have slaughtered all the residents of Anshan Town. They were the best candidates for cannon fodder. Wherever they could be like now, they had to use their own people to fill it out.

At this time, Yue Le noticed that right next to the Mingjun camp, a group of soldiers who were swimming on the water from Anshan Lake were walking into the Mingjun camp through the swamp on the lake. Yue Le saw that the water by the lake was not very deep, and the water depth was only waist-deep at the shore. It was very difficult for people to walk at this depth, but it had no effect on horses.

Yue Le's heart moved and called a messenger and said, "You go and send the commander. After a while, you can see the banner of the camp, and let Harbala, Baolide and Obai each send 5,000 cavalry attack!" After Yue Le said that, he said to Mu Shan beside him: "After they launch an attack, you will take the 5,000 Eight Banners of Manchus and go around from the shallow water by the lake and attack the Ming army without a wall. Do you know?"

Mu Shan laughed and said, "Please don't worry, Prince, Mu Shan must capture the Southern Barbarian Emperor!"

The Southern Barbarian Emperor Zhu Hongsan was standing at a high place in the middle of the camp, watching the Qing army mobilize troops everywhere with a telescope. The most cavalry was five miles away from the north, under a large white flag, a general wearing yellow armor was placing and placing generals. Zhu Hongsan saw that the general knew that nothing was unexpected, this person was Yue Le, the only commander in the third generation of the Qing Dynasty. Behind this general was full of cavalry wearing Qing cotton armor. Zhu Hongsan saw that these people were obviously better equipped than Mongolian cavalry in other directions, and knew that this was the Eight Banners, which were less than ten thousand and invincible.

Seeing the Qing Dynasty's messengers coming out in all directions, Zhu Hongsan sneered and put down his telescope. Under the defense circle he arranged, Mongolian cavalry with only cold weapons could not attack. Zhu Hongsan chose a location very tricky, and the camping site was less than one mile away from Anshan. Zhu Hongsan also left a regiment of defenders on Anshan, which was 150 or 60 meters high. The view on Anshan was wide, and the artillery could just attack the Qing army in the west and south. If these two Qing troops wanted to attack Zhu Hongsan's camp, they had to expose their flanks under the Ming army artillery. In this way, Zhu Hongsan only needed to be careful of the main force of the Qing army in the east.

His camp was as stable as a rock. Zhu Hongsan hoped that Li Yuanyin would come slowly so that he could rely on the camp wall to cause a large amount of damage to the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan saw that the three-sided army of the Qing Dynasty began to take action. Zhu Hongsan said to Han Sanqiang: "Three Strongs, do a good job in logistics support and do not let the artillery stop!" Artillery was the main force of this defensive battle. Zhu Hongsan brought double ammunition supplies for this battle.

The battle began as Zhu Hongsan expected. At this time, the fog had dissipated, and the Qing army no longer rushed hard, but began to shoot arrows three hundred meters away. However, the effective shooting distance of the shotgun was the shotgun. As soon as the cavalry released the first wave of arrows, they were knocked to the ground by the shotgun. Zhu Hongsan had already calculated the tactics of the Qing army. There was a shed made of reed mats on the camp wall. The Qing army's arrow rain shot into the shed, and only a few unlucky ghosts were shot only by arrows shot from the gap.

Manguda's tactics are not good, and according to the Mongolian's urinary nature, it should have begun to retreat. However, this time the Mongolian cavalry did not retreat. Instead, under the command of Qianhu and Baihu behind him, they used cowhide shields to protect their heads and wanted to get close to the Ming army camp. Of course, this cowhide shield was OK to block the previous firearms, but in the face of the Ming army muskets that used the best gunpowder ratio, this cowhide shield was not much different from paper. A large number of Mongolian cavalry were killed in front of the camp wall.

Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed when he saw his tactics successful, but then Zhu Hongsan saw the Qing army's slate in the distance. The eight banners of the Qing army, which were equipped with excellent and awesome, began to act. Under the leadership of a general, half of the troops ran towards the Ming army camp.
