Emperor Chongzheng Zhu Cijiu led an army of 200,000 to personally fight for such a big battle, Huang Taiji naturally received the news soon, 200,000, plus 40,000 surrounded by him, plus 30,000 defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers in Xiping Fort and Zhenwu Fort, the Ming army had a total of 270,000!

Huang Taiji was not a reckless person. The 270,000 army was not a small number. In addition to a group of Liaodong generals, his 100,000 army was a little short of it. So he urgently ordered the 50,000 troops left by Shengjing to quickly support him and issued a conscript order, allowing all the Jurchen tribes who could go to the battlefield to gather in Shengjing to prevent Mao Wenlong from sneak attacking.

This time, Zhu Cijiu didn't want Mao Wenlong to attack. Now it's autumn and the weather is good. If Mao Wenlong fails to attack, he is surrounded, then he will die because there is most of the Liaodong between Pidao and Guangning, and he cannot save him.

Huang Taiji was actually not just cavalry, but most of the ones who stayed in Shengjing were infantry. He simply ordered Da Beilemanguertai to lead 40,000 infantry to surround Shuangtaizi Fort, while he himself led 110,000 cavalry to resist Zhu Cijiong's 230,000 army.

Therefore, when Zhu Cijiu arrived at Xiping Fort, Man Gui came to report that the cavalry blocking the road there were no more than 50,000 cavalry there, but more than 100,000! The Jurchens were not even 100,000, and they were invincible. In their opinion, these 100,000 cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty were already terrifying, almost invincible.

Zhu Cijing didn't think so. It was the age of hot weapons and cavalry was destined to be eliminated. Although the current guns and cannons cannot have an absolute advantage due to their range and power, the chances of winning against more than 100,000 cavalry are quite high.

Since he has arrived at the place, Zhu Cijiong is not too anxious. It is less than a month now, and there will be no situation in Zu Dashou for the time being, so we cannot rush to attack, but we must plan and strive for success in the battle.

The next morning, Zhu Cijing summoned all the generals to discuss the matter at Xipingbao. He stood in front of a huge white paper about the same height as his, and began his first command operation.

The generals who bent down below were very strange. Generally, the main generals were planning the battles based on the map. Those who were more powerful would also make sand tables. Why did the emperor make a piece of white paper?

Zhu Cijing was too lazy to explain to them. No matter what, he knew more about fighting this hot weapon than any of them, and he would take charge of commanding this time.

After everything was ready, Zhu Cijing began to ask questions.

He shouted: "Mangui, how big are you observing the Jiannu camp?"

Man Gui quickly bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, it's about ten miles in a radius."

Zhu Cijiong drew a large box directly on the right side of the white paper, which was equivalent to the camp of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Then he asked again: "How many miles from Xiping Fortress is about the Long Jin Camp?"

It was Man Gui again who replied: "It's about twenty miles."

Zhu Cijiu gestured on the drawings and drew a box on the left side of the white paper, which was equivalent to Xipingbao.

Zhu Cijing asked again: "How far did you encounter artillery attack last time?"

Man Gui bowed again and said, "About four hundred steps."

Three hundred steps are one mile, four hundred steps are about one mile and a half. Zhu Cijing drew a line in front of the Hou Jin camp in proportion, and then he said to Sun Yuanhua: "Four hundred steps are probably a 4-inch howitzer."

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

Zhu Cijing stopped talking. He pondered for a while and then started drawing on white paper with a charcoal pen.

After drawing many lines and frames, Zhu Cijiong pointed to the sketch and said to Sun Chengzong: "Taifu, you will command the specific arrangement of troops in this battle. Today we will first test the 50,000 musketeers in the Beijing Camp at the front, lined up in five rows, about 600 steps away from the enemy camp; behind them are swords and shield soldiers, spearmen and halberd soldiers, and you can arrange them as you see."

Sun Chengzong quickly bowed and said, "I know, I dare to ask the emperor, where are the cavalry platoons?"

Zhu Cijiong pointed to the sketch and said, "We have about 30,000 cavalry, right? On the left side of the 10,000 platoon, on the right side of the 10,000 platoon, and on the right side of the 10,000 platoon, there are still 10,000 to go up and test the attack distance of the enemy artillery. It may be a bit dangerous. Taifu, who should lead the team?"

Sun Chengzong named without hesitation: "Zu Dabi, are you afraid?"

Zu Erlangzi subconsciously replied, "I'm afraid he's going to have a ball!"

But when he looked up, he found that the emperor was looking at him with interest. He was so scared that he had a cold sweat. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am used to this stinky mouth, so I came to him when I opened my mouth, not intentionally offend the emperor."

Zhu Cijing smiled and said, "Well, I will spare you this time. Be careful next time, get up."

Upon hearing this, Zu Dabi actually touched his head and stood up. Sun Chengzong quickly coughed.

Zu Dabi then remembered that he hadn't thanked him yet, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for your grace."

Zhu Cijiu shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Well, get up, let's scatter the people later. The distance should be at least five steps. If you rush to the enemy camp, don't rush. Go back directly from both sides."

After hearing this, Zu Dabi got up again, touched his head and thought for a long time before bowing, "I know."

Zhu Cijing was too lazy to educate the two guys anymore, and pointed to the sketch and said to Sun Yuanhua: "Chuyang, let's arrange the Type 417 howitzers in two rows, about 700 steps away from the enemy camp, and also line up in two rows, about 750 steps away from the enemy camp, loading shotguns, aiming at the two hundred steps ahead and one hundred steps ahead of the enemy to prevent the enemy from charging suddenly."

After hearing this, Sun Yuanhua bowed and said, "I obey the order, where is the Three-Year Seventh Howitzer?"

Zhu Cijing said indifferently: "It's only ten gates and it doesn't work. Just carry it to the city wall of Xiping Fort to be used as a cannon for defending the city."

Sun Yuanhua bowed again and said, "I understand."

Zhu Cijing thought for a while, then asked Sun Chengzong: "Trial Master, have I said yesterday ready to go to the stage?"

Sun Chengzong quickly bowed and said, "If you go back to the emperor, you have already done it."

Zhu Cijing nodded and said, "Well, then put it behind the halberd soldiers. When the array is finished, let someone come and call me and I will go and have a look."

Sun Chengzong quickly dissuaded: "Your Majesty, you should stay in the city. The battlefield is too dangerous."

Zhu Cijing said undeniably: "What are the dangers of hiding at the end? Don't say anything, I will go and see it, but I won't rush up, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing the emperor's attitude, Sun Chengzong had to shut his mouth with concern.

............

Zhu Cijiu was placing troops on paper, and he was very happy to talk, but Huang Taiji was confused. He heard that the little Emperor Chongzheng had arrived last night, so early in the morning he quickly arranged for his subordinates to set up their formations, waiting for the Ming army to come to attack.

But after waiting for a long time, the Ming army didn't even see a personal shadow. When he thought the Ming army would not attack today, there were neat steps in front of him. More than 200,000 Ming soldiers came stepping in an orderly formation. The power of the whole land was trembling with them.

Huang Taiji curled his lips and stepped onto the target at this speed! He ordered directly: "Send the order, load the cannon and prepare for shooting. The enemy began to ignite the fire as soon as it stepped into the five hundred steps."

The commander turned around and went to send the command, but the army opposite stopped and stopped moving.

Huang Taiji was so angry that he cursed in his heart: "Damn it, you're lucky."

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement on the other side. Huang Taiji couldn't help but be surprised. He raised his telescope and looked.

This telescope is about six times the focal length, and at most it can be seen two miles away. This was bought by Huang Taiji from the Dutch. Anyway, he was like a robber, snatching everywhere, and he still had no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry.

He raised his telescope and looked for a long time but couldn't see any signs. He could only vaguely see a platform behind the opposite formation with flags waving on it. It was probably the little emperor who came. He thought to himself, "Is this trying to attract me to attack? 110,000 people went to attack the formation of more than 200,000 people, and even if he won, he would probably lose half of it. I think I'm stupid and I won't rush. You should just come and eat the shells. I'll rush after you finish eating the shells."

So will the Ming army come up to eat shells?

Zhu Cijiu was also holding a telescope to look opposite him, but he was holding a twelve-fold focal length, which could see more than two miles away, so he could see all Huang Taiji's movements clearly. When he saw Huang Taiji's annoyed expression, he couldn't help but laugh: "Hahahaha, be a fool, will I ask someone to rush up to eat shells? Pass my oral orders and let Zu Dabi try it."

The messenger immediately ran to pass the order, but Qin Mingyue next to him rolled her eyes and said to herself: "You are so embarrassed to laugh. You just said you wouldn't be able to come up to eat shells, so I will send Zu Dabi to try it out immediately. What are you going to eat shells?"

She was not qualified to attend the military meeting, so she naturally didn't know what Zhu Cijiu had arranged.

When Zu Dabi heard the oral order from the messenger, he almost fell off his horse excitedly. He howled, "Remember it when you rush down. Rush to 450 steps from the enemy camp, immediately separate from the middle and retreat from both sides. Don't blame me if you are killed! Okay, hurry up and go to the front of the musketeers, and arrange them ten steps apart, and line up for me."

After howling, he rushed to the front of the formation by hitting the horse, and the cavalry behind him quickly followed.

When he arrived in front of the formation, Zu Dabi kept urging them to hurry up, hurry up, even Huang Taiji on the opposite side heard the howl. Huang Taiji was confused again. Such a few cavalry would only have more than 10,000 cavalry, why should he hurry up? He couldn't just rush up and die!

He was really half right. As soon as Zu Dabi urged them to arrange the formation, he immediately howled: "Run."

Then, he rushed towards Huang Taiji's central army, and the cavalry behind him rushed up like he had taken brainless medicine.

Huang Taiji was stunned. Ten thousand cavalry came to attack him 110,000 cavalry! He wasn't his brains not flexible enough, but the opponent was too stupid. Isn't this obvious that people could die? He stared at the cavalry behind him with a little disbelief. The infantry was indeed standing there motionless, without any intention of rushing up. What does this mean by him?

Regardless of whether he could understand or not, his order had been passed on. Zu Dabi led 10,000 cavalry to about 500 steps away from the camp. The artillery on the Later Jin side immediately ignited the lead of the artillery without hesitation.

The speed of the cavalry was too fast. Before the lead was burned, Zu Dabi rushed to a place that was only 450 steps away from the camp.

Huang Taiji estimated the time and couldn't help but feel happy. Hehe, it just landed in the middle of the opposite cavalry. Although the scattered points of the station could sweep away thousands of his troops, it was already very good. He excitedly ordered: "Send the order to make the white flag and the white flag to prepare. Once the cannon on the opposite side rushed up and surrounded them immediately, and don't let one go."

He was about to watch the good show of making dumplings when the cavalry on the opposite side suddenly broke through and rolled back like waves.

"Boom boom boom" a row of shells flew over, and they didn't even rub their butts.

Huang Taiji's face turned red with anger and gritted his teeth, "Play to me, I want to lead me to charge, but I won't rush. How can you stand by me?"

Zhu Cijing didn't mean to play with him. Isn't he trying to determine the range of his cannon? Playing with him was just by the way. Seeing the cannon on the other side, Zhu Cijing couldn't help but ask: "How is it, can you confirm?"

Sun Yuanhua next to him put down his telescope and replied with affirmative answer: "If you go back to the emperor, it must be a 4-inch howitzer, and it should be placed not far behind the camp gate."
