When fighting, it is about strength. After putting aside all conspiracies and plots, the outcome of the battle will ultimately depend on strength to speak.

As for command, Sun Chuanting did not have much problem. Everything was normal, but the strength of the troops under his command was quite far from that of the Eight Banners soldiers.

Sun Chuanting saw every intention of Huang Taiji very clearly and knew what Huang Taiji wanted to fight, but he had to divide his troops according to Huang Taiji's intention, otherwise, the left and right wings would be captured by the Eight Banners soldiers.

The result of the division of troops was that there was no extra reserve force in his hands. When Jiannu came with all his strength, he could only rely on the central army to resist.

More than 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers who had been replenishing their energy for a long time replaced the Han army's musketeers and rushed towards the Ming army's central army, and suddenly fought back.

At this time, Sun Chuanting could not do anything and had no extra troops to support him. The only thing he could do was to beat the drum himself to boost morale.

"Dong, dun, dun"

The intense drum sounded, with a powerful momentum that shook the sky and the earth. When the Ming soldiers heard it, their hearts vibrated with the drum sound, and the fighting spirit in their hearts was involuntarily aroused.

Many Liaoxi soldiers looked back and could see the figure of Superintendent Sun fighting on the tall drum cart.

The commander is the courage of the three armies. If he is like this, the three armies will naturally fight to the death. Although his combat power is not as good as the Jiannu Eight Banners soldiers, the soldiers in western Liaoning are still fighting bravely.

However, in many cases, it is not enough to rely on one's bloody courage.

Huang Taiji sent out the elite troops of the Shangsan Banners this time, and half of the Eight Banners in the Guardians, and their combat power was really strong. Although the Ming army was considered a relatively elite troops, it still could not be compared with the elite troops of the Eight Banners.

In addition, they fought with the Han army musketeers for a long time and were very exhausted.

The result was that not long after the battle, the central army soldiers were beaten backwards step by step.

"Zhang Ben, you bring your servants to the team!" Seeing that the soldiers in front could no longer hold back, Zhang Cunren, the deputy general in charge of commanding the central army, said in a deep voice.

"This is, the general!" Zhang Ben hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Zhang Cunren looked bad, he hurriedly agreed and rushed up with the three hundred clans.

The servants, the private relatives and confidants of the generals, provide generous wages and support. Their combat power is far beyond that of ordinary Ming soldiers. They have always been the biggest reliance for the generals. They protect the generals from wartime to protect the safety of the generals, and as the generals break the formation and kill the enemy. For many Ming Dynasty

When the generals said that the servants in their hands were the greatest guarantee of their strength and status.

Generally speaking, before the critical moment, the generals would definitely not be willing to fight with their servants. Even when the critical moment, many generals would not be willing to bear to do so. When they saw that the situation was wrong, they would take their servants to escape from the battlefield, which would lead the entire battle to be defeated.

The situation was very common in the late Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that the Central Army was defeated by Jiannu, Zhang Cunren actually wanted to retreat and wanted to escape from the battlefield with his servants, but he did not dare. Because once he fled from the battlefield, he would not say that he would be dismissed from office and his family in the capital would also be implicated.

.I have to say that after Sun Chuanting arrived in western Liaoning, it was definitely a wonderful chess game to bring all the families of Liaoxi generals to Beijing!

Fight hard, all the servants will be lost, and they will die in battle, but they will die in the country of honor. The family members in the capital will receive pensions from the court, and their sons will gain a reputation. On the contrary, if they lead their servants to escape, they will inevitably be ruined.

It is said that all families will be implicated and their descendants will never have a chance to make a comeback!

Gains and losses are easy to calculate clearly, but it is not difficult to make a choice. Many times, it is not that many people choose to betray, but that the cost of betrayal is too low.

Zhang Cunren also chose to betray the Ming Dynasty in another time and space. After following Jiannu, he became the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the Minister of War of the Jiannu court. However, in this life, he chose to fight to the death.

Three hundred clerks pressed forward and the situation eased. These clerks were well-equipped and had a combat power no less than the elite Eight Banners. Although it was a battle of tens of thousands of people, there were not so many people in a head-on confrontation, and they were just the front row.

The soldiers fought each other.

All three hundred knights were wearing heavy armor, and their physical strength and combat skills were very strong. They had always paid more than twice the amount of other soldiers. It was the time to contribute. Although their joining did not change the situation on the battlefield, they had no resistance for a period of time.

question.

Seeing the situation eased slightly, Zhang Cunren did not breathe a sigh of relief, but his heart was still holding, because he saw that servants were injured and died from time to time. Every servant here was his blood!

Relying on the death battle between Zhang Cunren and his subordinates, the situation in the central army temporarily eased. However, at this moment, the left wing suddenly collapsed!

After Sun Chuanting sent two reserve troops in succession, the left wing relied on twice the strength to block Jiannu's attack. Liu Yingguo, the deputy general of the left wing, was also very brave and led his servants to fight at the forefront.

However, he was too brave and received the focus of Jiannu's attention. Dozens of sharpshooters came to command the battle, specifically sniping Liu Yingguo.

Dozens of feather arrows were shot at Liu Yingguo at the same time, most of which were shielded by the servants around Liu Yingguo. However, several of them were shot through the shields and shot on Liu Yingguo. It doesn't matter if they were shot on other parts of the body, after all, Liu Yingguo was thick all over.

There is no problem with armor resisting feather arrows, and they will not be seriously injured. But a feather arrow shot too accurately, passing through the gap between the shield, and hit Liu Yingguo's eyes, which penetrated his mind. Liu Yingguo was killed on the spot.

As soon as the commander died, the left-wing Ming army was in panic. Haoge and the white-armored guards personally launched a charge and launched a fierce attack on the Ming army. Without the main general, the left-wing Ming army had no intention of resisting and suddenly collapsed.

.

Ten or 20,000 Ming troops fled, and a small number retreated to the central army, thinking of reorganizing the army and fighting again, while most of the Ming troops fled regardless of the scatteredness.

At the Central Military Office, Sun Chuanting saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly sent an order, ordering Zhao to lead the cavalry in his headquarters to attack and restrain Jiannu to give the Central Army time to reorganize the defense.

After Zhao Rujiao received the order, he immediately led the remaining thousand cavalry to attack and rushed towards Haoge's troops. The fierce battle made these cavalry from Shanhaiguan red. At this moment, no one thought about whether the extra horse would be lost.

The loss had only one thought, and rushed over and entangled Jiannu, winning time for the central army to reorganize and defend.

More than a thousand cavalry carried the same number of horses, more than two thousand war horses, and tens of thousands of horse hooves, stepped on the frozen snow surface and rushed towards Jiannu on the left wing.

The Ming army, who was fleeing, was so scared that they rolled and crawled. However, Zhao Shujiao ignored these defeated soldiers at all, and did not care whether the cavalry would trample on their own people. In the face of a war that determines the fate of the country,

Some of the defeated soldiers are nothing, and they will not be taken into consideration by Zhao Lujiao.

What Zhao Lujiao needs to do now is to quickly increase the horse speed so that he can break through the Jiannu ranks.

In such a large-scale battle, Sun Chuanting knew that the more than a thousand cavalry could not play any role, so he basically used them as whistle cavalry and did not think about letting them fight. So in the battle just now, more than a thousand cavalry dismounted and stayed there.

The central army kept watching the battle silently, watching countless people rushing towards the Ming army array driven by Jiannu, watching the various royal soldiers being defeated by the people, and watching the Liaoxi soldiers withstood the attacks of the people under the leadership of Sun Chuanting,

Stop the Jiannu army alone!

Zhao Lujiao is a real soldier, an iron-blooded soldier who is excited when he sees war. He says that the generals train what kind of soldiers he is, and the cavalry under his command are similar to him. Maybe they have some small plans on weekdays, but in war

Never be timid at the time.

Seeing the fierce battle, Zhao Rujiao and his cavalry had already held their breath, and now, it was finally time for them to go to fight.

The war horse stepped on the snow and the cold wind blew towards him. More than a thousand iron cavalry closed their mouths tightly, urging the war horse under their crotch, and rushed towards the Jiannu guard camp that had just broken through the left-wing Ming army.

No one used the three-eyed musket again, but took out a long cavalry rifle, clamped the gun rod into his armpit, and pointed the sharp gun tip at Jiannu. Opposite was the Jiannu guards wearing thick armor, with the three-eyed ones

Muskets are not as useful as cavalry.

Hauge let out a long sigh and raised his head, the gang of Ming cavalry rushed from a distance.

"Arrangement!" Haoge immediately roared. The guards under his command were all heavily armored infantry, but even white armored soldiers wearing three layers of armor could not collide with high-speed horses. Facing the impact of cavalry

, Only arrays can resist!

Without Haoge's roar, the other guards also discovered the Ming cavalry rushing from afar. They stopped chasing the Ming army's defeated soldiers and quickly began to gather. The spear pointed diagonally in front of them, and the shield quickly inserted into the snow.

In a short period of time, the defensive array was actually arranged. Although it was not very neat, it also reflected how well-trained these Jiansou guards were!

Judging from this situation, Zhao Ruijiao couldn't help but feel as heavy as water. Facing the heavy armored infantry forming an array of defense, it is not a good choice for the cavalry to directly rush into the formation. If the cavalry under his command were heavy armored cavalry, it would be fine, but his subordinates were all

Light cavalry, war horses have no horse armor at all

Should I directly impact or choose to bypass it? Zhao Rujiao hesitated for a moment and his eyes became firm.

It's this time, and it's impossible to escape.

rush!!

"Kill the slave!" Zhao Ruijiao raised his spear and pointed it at the Jiannu guards, shouting loudly, urging his horse to accelerate as he spoke.

However, at this moment, several war horses rushed out from behind and rushed to his horse, forcing Zhao Ruishu to slow down the speed of war horses.

"General, let me Ji Kai take the lead for you!" A young household turned around and smiled at Zhao Rujiao, then pulled out a short knife and stabbed the buttocks of the war horse under his crotch.

Being deliberately clamped by several cavalrymen, Zhao Rujiao was unable to speed up the horse at all. He could only watch the Baihu named Ji Kai urged the war horse and was the first to crash into the Jiannu queue.

More and more cavalrymen surpassed Zhao Lujiao and launched a charge after Ji Kaimao.

"Bastard, you actually dare to rush in front of me, bastard!" Zhao Ruijiao cursed in anger, but his eyes turned red.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and the cavalry rushing in front could see the hideous faces of the Jiannu and the gun forest and sword formations pointed like a forest, but no one escaped, and they all launched a desperate charge without hesitation.

The short knife was inserted into the horse's buttocks, and all the horses were crazy, and they all knew how to rush forward.

With the violent collision, the cavalry finally collided with the Jiannu Infantry Formation. The first batch of cavalry that collided, whether it was war horses or horses, had almost no chance of survival.

The war horse he hit was stabbed into the horse's belly and chest almost instantly by many spears, and died on the spot. The cavalry on the horse's back were also dropped off the horse. Even if they were not killed, they would be killed by countless swords and guns.

However, every impact also brought great impact to Jiannu. The speed of the war horses running at high speed was that even the powerful white-armored soldiers could not resist head-on. Every impact, the white-armored soldiers were hit and vomited blood and fell to their internal organs.

He was smashed to pieces, and other white-armored soldiers desperately filled in.

One war horse after another crashed into the Jiannu ranks, and one cavalry after another died on the spot. Countless Ming cavalry, like moths blowing fire, launched a desperate sprint.

But they were not moths with weak vitality, but fierce soldiers who died in battles! After sacrificing hundreds of cavalry, the hasty defense line of Jiannu finally broke out into a gap, and the remaining cavalry rushed into the gap.

, tear the gap wider and wider.

Zhao Ruishuai rushed through the gap, and rode a spear and pierced a white-armored soldier into the snow through thick armor. When the powerful recoil force arrived, he released the gun bar and drew out his sabre and slashed the next Eight Banners soldier.

go.

However, the guards are guards, and their combat power and strong fighting will are incomparable to ordinary troops. After the hasty defense line was broken by the Ming cavalry, these guards were not nervous, but gathered nearby with weapons in their hands.

He rushed towards the Ming cavalry and waved the swords and guns in his hands regardless of the rushing cavalry.

From time to time, the Jiannu guards were chopped down, and from time to time, the cavalry and horses were chopped down and fell to the ground.

The battle suddenly became fierce, and the cavalry of Zhao Ruijiao did not dare to stay and entangle. Instead, they rode their horses and waved their weapons to Jiannu who were passing by. They didn't bother to see if they were cut or not, and they didn't dare to see them at all.

Stay lost speed.

A moment later, the Ming cavalry rushed through the left-wing Jiannu ranks and stopped in the distance to gather again. When Zhao Rujiao turned around and counted, he found that he had lost at least 200. As for how many casualties he caused to Jiannu, who was it

I don’t know either. But Zhao Lujiao knew in his heart that at least in a short period of time, these thousands of Jiannu could no longer attack the central army.

Just as Zhao Rujiao was about to lead his subordinates to rush again, the ground shook, and he quickly turned his head and looked. A Jiannu cavalry rushed towards him in the distance, seeing that the troops were at least twice as strong as him. And this one

The cavalry is very fast, and the troops under his command have not yet been fully organized. If they attack Jiannu Guardian Camp again, they may be caught up before they attack. Here is the explanation.

"Let's go!" Zhao Rujiao immediately stopped and gave up on the attack on the Jiannu infantry, and took his cavalry to the northwest.

First get rid of this Jiannu cavalry, then kill the Jiannu infantry again so as not to attack the main force of the central army. Zhao Lujiao knew what he should do at this time.
