Sun Chengzong, who was on the wall of Gaoyang City, looked to the north. In the wilderness in the distance, patches of red and blue armor seas intertwined and reflected, and he didn't know which side would be swallowed up.
He leaned on the crenellation of the city wall with his left hand, and squeezed Wuzi Sun Yao's hand with his right hand, and said breathlessly: "Quickly, gather all the social soldiers who can fight and gather at the north gate. If Lu Xiangsheng and the Luqi are in a stalemate, we will go out of the city to help."
With one hand, he attacked the slave thieves together."
Sun Yao hurriedly turned around and called his nephews Sun Zhipang and Sun Zhijie, and ordered them to hurry up and go to the west and east city walls respectively to gather all the soldiers who could still fight here to wait for the opportunity to go out of the city to attack the Tartars.
…………
In the wilderness, the cold wind is hunting, blowing flags of various colors and sizes flying in the wind.
Hauge looked at Lu Xiangsheng's military formation opposite, and he found that something was wrong with this group of Ming troops. They formed the team very quickly and did not appear to be too panicked.
He shook his head, so what?
If they meet me, Hauge, then even if this group of Ming troops is unlucky, maybe they are also the elite of the Ming Dynasty, but can they still be stronger than Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui's Liaodong cavalry?
Even people like Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui ran away risking their lives when they saw our Qing Dynasty's armored and elite cavalry. They only dared to huddle in the strong city and fire cannons.
The more he looked at the military formation on the opposite side, the angrier he became. He came at the wrong time. If he had come one day later, Gaoyang City would have been captured.
"Mother, Lu Xiangsheng, I want you to see how powerful the warriors of the Qing Dynasty are."
Hauge cursed in his heart, but shouted loudly: "Send the order to assemble the team."
At this time, Najia Lazhangjing Alzin had also changed his war horse, galloped over to the Hauge horse, and asked for orders: "Prince Su, please send the last general to fight, and it will be Prince Su who kills the head of the Ming general."
Hauge did not speak, his eyes narrowed to a slit, facing the slightly dazzling sunlight, staring at the cavalry formation on Lu Xiangsheng's side. Looking from a distance, the Ming army opposite seemed to be three rows of cavalry formations. There were three thousand of them.
Riding on the left and right, there were about a thousand riders in each horizontal row, spreading out and occupying a large area of wilderness.
On both sides of the Chinese cavalry formation, there are nearly a thousand cavalry on each side, protecting the two wings of the Chinese army. The arrangement is very similar to his. In Hauge's view, as long as the Chinese army defeats the opposite Ming army,
, this battle is won.
He turned back, looked at Alzin with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Alzin, I will send you another thousand fine cavalry, and rush straight to the opposite side where the Ming Dog General is, and we must break through the Ming Dog army formation."
Alzin received the order loudly and shouted: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Alzin will never disgrace his orders. This battle will definitely bring back Na Ming's head."
Hauge's cold face still showed no expression, and he only said in a deep voice: "If you don't break the formation, you don't have to come back."
Arzin was stunned for a moment, then immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please watch the battle. Arzin is going to chop off the head of that wise general."
After saying that, he turned his horse's head, raised his whip, jumped high, shouted and shouted, and groups of Qing cavalry rode forward. In less than a moment, more than 1,600 Qing cavalry rushed forward.
The military formation was more than a hundred paces away.
There are less than a thousand armored soldiers of the Blue Banner under Haug's command, but these are all veterans of hundreds of battles. Dozens of Baya soldiers are gathered around him. He sees Alzin leading more than 1,600 knights in front.
Assemble the team and prepare to attack.
He passed down another military order: "Invite the Mongolian knights from Deke's headquarters to attack from the left after Alzin and Ming Dog, and harass the enemy with mounted fire. If they retreat and do not follow the lead, behead them immediately!"
"
Then he called a Jia La Zhangjing and ordered: "Dandai, you five hundred warriors, break through the enemy's left wing, break the formation, and go straight into Ming Gou's center army;
Send an order to He Chenggong to lead the Han army, manhandle firearms, protect the central army and prevent the enemy from stealing the formation."
Later, Hauge ordered the Bajala warriors around him to ride horses and hold bows to supervise the formation at the back. Some of them shrank back and killed them immediately.
…………
Lu Xiangsheng had just finished setting up his side, and all the generals returned to their headquarters. The generals spread their horses to the wings. He also ordered Wang Pu, the general of Datong, to be summoned. He ordered in a deep voice: "Your troops will stay behind. I have ordered you to supervise the battle from behind.
But if you retreat instead of moving forward, you will not be pardoned immediately."
Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Wang Pu, we must strictly supervise the battle. If we retreat, we will be beheaded immediately."
The formations of all the troops were completed, and the cavalry formation was fully deployed. Three rows of knights rode in the wilderness four miles northwest of Gaoyang City. A three-mile-long sea of red was particularly conspicuous under the sunlight.
Suddenly, a fierce sound of "dong dong dong..." came from the opposite side.
Smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the more than 1,600 Zhenglan Banner Qing soldiers who had gathered in front of the Qing army's formation were slowly approaching on horseback. The distance between the two sides had narrowed to more than 400 steps.
I saw La Zhangjing Alzin, the leader of the Qing army, riding his horse at the front. The entire cavalry centered on him and spread out to both sides. Behind him were all the elite cavalry of the Qing army, like a sharp arrow, thrust straight towards him.
.
Lu Xiangsheng shouted: "Cavalry in formation, attack with the whole army, march on foot, keep up the power. Kill the slaves!"
For a time, the voices of orders came one after another, and the Ming army's cavalry formation also began to move forward slowly at a pace, like waves of red waves, constantly rolling forward.
Zhang Cheng saw from a distance that nearly two thousand cavalrymen of the Qing army were approaching Lu Xiangsheng's army. He hurriedly called two soldiers to come over and hold the horses steady. He stood on the saddle, took out the telescope given by Yang Tinglin, and observed the Qing Dynasty.
Changes in the military formation.
I saw the blue arrow on the opposite side began to accelerate. At this time, it had changed to a trot and began to gradually accelerate. The cavalry formation behind them also changed, especially the right wing, which was still forming a team just now, and now moved towards Lu Xiangsheng's position in four columns.
, walking forward.
Lu Xiangsheng carried his fine iron sword that weighed several dozen kilograms and rode his horse to the front. When the distance between the two sides narrowed to within 300 steps, he also urged the horse under his crotch to change into a trotting posture and accelerated towards the opposite side.
of the Qing army.
A sea of red armor formed a fan shape and began to quickly roll towards the blue cavalry arrows fired from the opposite side.
The sound of thousands of war horses trampling on the ground was "rumbling", and the earth was shaking. Mixed with bursts of roars and howls, the red sea and blue arrows were approaching at a constant speed in the wilderness.
Zhang Cheng parted his legs, sat back firmly on the saddle, and shouted loudly: "The whole army is in a forward formation. The target is the right wing of the enemy cavalry. Don't be reluctant to fight. Break through the enemy's formation. Go straight to the enemy cavalry's left wing and attack back.
Chinese army!"
Chen Zheng and other sentry commanders shouted loudly in response to the order. For a moment, the sounds of war horses neighing and armor shaking were heard.
"Soldiers, live towards death, advance without retreating. Kill the Tartars, charge forward!"
Zhang Cheng held up his big stick with a knife, roared angrily, urged his horse on his hip, and rushed out at a trot.
Chen Zhong led all the guards around Zhang Cheng and rushed out. Chen Zheng, Zhang Guangda and other four sentry commanders led their knights to follow Chen Zhong and the others, forming four columns and charging straight.
He Chenggong's cavalry of more than 800 soldiers headed towards the banner of the Han army that had just started trotting.
