The Jinzhou reinforcements led by Liaodong Supervisor Zhang Chun finally arrived here without any danger.
Azig's departure prevented the nearly 40,000-man army from being harassed and attacked, and the journey speeded up a lot. It was a pity that even after Azig's men and horses left, Houjin's cavalry scouts were still there.
Cruise between Jinzhou and Daling River.
Huang Taiji knew about this support army as soon as it left Jinzhou.
And these 40,000 people were able to reach this point without any danger, because Huang Taiji asked them to come here. This is already the last reinforcement that the Ming army in Liaodong and western Liaoning can come up with. If these reinforcements have
If it is lost, not only the Daling River cannot be saved, but the entire elite and mobile strength of the Ming army in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning will be wiped out.
In addition to barely being able to maintain their defense line, the Ming army could no longer mobilize such a large number of troops!
Huang Taiji saw this clearly and was calmly waiting for the arrival of this elite Ming army. He wanted to complete his work in one battle and completely cripple and defeat the Ming army in Liaodong so that the Ming army would no longer be capable.
I have a desire to fight with him outside the customs.
He could see this clearly, and Sun Chengzong could naturally see this clearly, but the current war situation was such that even if he could see it clearly, he still had to send troops to rescue Dalinghe.
He also knew that the Tartars would definitely be waiting for the supporting troops at the foot of the Daling River City. However, this was an upright plot by the Tartars.
The captives will definitely approach Jinzhou, and it will even be difficult for the Ming army to leave Jinzhou from now on.
He will fight this battle even if he grits his teeth!
As for the outcome, he could only rely on Zhang Chun's ability, the dedication of his soldiers, and... the fate of the Ming Dynasty was clear.
Zhang Chun, the supervisor of the army, was brave and resourceful in the battle to regain the four cities of Yongping after Sun Chengzong became the governor of Liaodong. His performance was extremely outstanding. Sun Chengzong had high hopes for him. In his heart, Zhang Chun was the same as Jiang Wan.
, are all rising stars after him who can support the war situation of the Ming Dynasty.
Sun Chengzong did not see with his own eyes how good Jiang Wan was at leading an army in combat, but he could vividly remember how good Zhang Chun was at leading an army in combat. Speaking of this aspect, even in Sun Chengzong's mind, Jiang Wan was not ranked higher than Zhang Chun.
This is also the reason why he can hand over 40,000 troops to him.
At this moment, the two armies faced each other below Dalinghe City. Seeing that the main force of the Tartars was leisurely waiting for his arrival, Zhang Chun did not live up to Sun Chengzong's high expectations and began to deploy his army in an orderly manner.
On the front is a large formation dominated by infantry, with several small formations on both sides guarding the flanks of the main formation. In the middle of the main formation, two hundred chariots loaded with firearms are ready to go. These two hundred chariots are
Zhang Chun's secret weapon, he brought out almost all the available tanks in Liaodong. Every Ming general knew that if the Tartar cavalry could not be restrained in a field battle, they could only use cavalry and
The cavalry was dead. If the infantry and the Tartar cavalry resisted, ten thousand Tartar cavalry would be enough to defeat this 40,000-man army.
Zhang Chun would never allow this kind of thing to happen to his army.
The Tartars did not give him enough time to set up their formation. When the army slowly unfolded, the Tartar cavalry began to charge.
It was still their old tactics, still attacking the left flank of the Ming army's array, but this time, the Tartars didn't even test it, they just came over with two thousand-man troops.
The chariot was slowly pushed to the front of the main formation, huge clouds of smoke rose into the sky, and countless arrows shot into the sky.
There are various types of firearms placed on the battlefield, and the most common ones are equipped with firearms like "Swarm of Bees". Dozens of arrows are loaded on a box-like launcher, and the arrows are arranged neatly in the box.
When firing, ignite the fuse to burn the medicine pool, and the gunpowder in the medicine pool will instantly launch all the arrows in the box.
Dozens of arrows may not be conspicuous on the battlefield, but if you multiply these dozens by two hundred, it is a very terrifying number. Moreover, these arrows are fired almost instantly, like a heavy rain.
The arrow fell on the heads of the two thousand-man Tartar troops that were galloping over.
Densely packed, there is no way to avoid it!
In an instant, a large number of the galloping cavalry fell down, and the entire queue became chaotic due to the chaos of the cavalry and horses.
There were bursts of cheers from the Ming army array.
But, it's not over yet.
The quivers and boxes on the chariot that had been fired were almost violently unloaded by the soldiers who fired them. The arrows in these boxes were all loaded in advance. In any case, there would be no time to reload them on the battlefield.
Pack a box.
What they can do is to install several more of these quiver boxes before the war and use them once on the battlefield.
Almost before the chaos of the Tartar cavalry was over, the second wave of arrows flew into the sky again, and this time, the Tartars no longer had the momentum to charge before, which made the arrow rain cover a wider area, and
There were also more people or horses shot.
When they were still two hundred steps away from the flank of the Ming army, the third wave of arrow rain fell on the heads of the two thousand-man troops again. After three attacks by the chariots, less than half of the Tartar cavalry rushed forward.
At this distance, they also raised the bows and arrows in their hands, and began to rain down arrows on the top of the opponent's array.
After firing the three arrows, the cavalry on horseback threw away the bows and arrows in their hands, held up the weapons in their hands, and rushed directly towards the small cavalry on the opposite side that had come out of the Ming army's array.
Everyone on the battlefield is watching, all looking at this side.
Two cavalrymen of about the same number collided together. This was a battle without any fancy. All the support between the two sides' main formations was no longer needed. At this moment, the only ones who could restrain the cavalry were the cavalry!
Guan Ning Cavalry vs Eight Banners Elite.
This is the last Guan Ning Iron Cavalry left in Jinzhou City. When the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry was at its peak, there were more than 10,000 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry. However, after last year, there are less than 8,000 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry left.
Except for these more than a thousand cavalry, the rest are all in Dalinghe City at the moment.
Sun Chengzong gave almost all the wealth of the Liaodong Ming Army to Zhang Chun, but Zhang Chun seemed to have completely failed to realize Mr. Sun's painstaking efforts. Almost as soon as the war started, he almost lost all the assets of the Liaodong Ming Army, whether it was tanks or Guan Ning cavalry.
All the trump cards were revealed.
A series of roaring sounds instantly sounded on the battlefield, and then, in everyone's ears, the roaring sounds slowly connected into one, and finally turned into bursts of muffled thunder.
In this muffled thunder, two cavalrymen passed each other. The number of Guan Ning's cavalry was not much reduced, but at least 30% of the Tartar cavalry fell off their horses!
