The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road, and both Qin Chuan and Dorgon understand this truth.

So, after Qin Chuan said "Let's start a war", Dorgon immediately unified his mind with Ajige: fight.

If Dorgon wanted the remaining troops of Chahar, he would also get the imperial seal of the Northern Yuan Empire.

Similarly, Qin Chuan also wanted Chahar's woman and the imperial seal.

The most important thing is that Qinchuan has not much food and grass.

He only brought food and grass for half a month when he went to the expedition. After defeating Namuzhong's men, he took most of the food and grass under Namuzhong's command and drove a lot of cattle, sheep and horses to serve as military rations.

However, the Qiantao area is nearly two thousand miles away from Tolenan Mountain. After nearly a month of continuous march, there is almost no food or grass left in Qinchuan.

Therefore, this battle must be won, otherwise you will not be able to go back.

The main forces were the Tiger Guard Camp of Bobcao and the Shence Camp of Hu Dawei. They divided some troops to escort Namuzhong and divided the troops to Li Dingguo to cut off the rear. The combined force of these two battalions was only 5,000.

There were also one thousand Hengchong Camps of Cao Bianjiao who supported him on both wings, and another two thousand Hengchong Camps were ambushed in the valley on the west side of the Torle Mountains.

Qin Chuan personally led two thousand red-clothed servants to take charge of the central army, waiting for the right time before letting the red-clothed servants rush forward, and the winner was decided in one fell swoop.

In contrast, Dorgon had a slight advantage in military strength. The elite troops of the Later Jin brought by him and Ajige, as well as the cavalry of the Mongolian tribes, totaling 12,000 troops.

But Dorgon did not dare to throw all his troops into it, but left four thousand elite cavalry in the southwest corner, all riding horses and bows, waiting for the battle. One was to guard against Qinchuan's ambush, the other was to leave a way out for the main force, and also to leave a way out for his white flag.

If the main force is defeated, you can retreat calmly to the south. If Qin Chuan dares to pursue, the four thousand elite soldiers who stay in the southwest corner can be killed from the flanks and reverse the situation in one fell swoop.

Even when the war is in a stalemate, these 4,000 soldiers can be used as a surprise soldier and attack the Guandi army in Qinchuan.

However, the place where the two sides fought was a plain grassland south of Tolenan Mountain, and Dorgon's troops and intentions naturally could not escape Qin Chuan's telescope.

In this battle, Dorgon's main force will be killed no matter what.

After putting down the telescope, Qin Chuan explained a few words seriously and quickly to the side. The turbanist not far away quickly waved the flag in his hand.

In the Guandi army formation, Hu Dawei and Bobcao frowned and tried hard to distinguish the flag-tag owner's words.

When Hu Dawei and Bobcao let the flag bearer raise the banner of response, Qin Chuan waved his hand.

"attack."

...

The Chahar tribe camp, Su Tai, Ezhe and Tesna stood on the mail tower, staring at outside the camp.

The atmosphere outside was solemn and the two armies slowly squirmed like giant beasts, and the battle was about to break out.

In addition to the troops that were pressing the formation in the rear, the Later Jin army had about 8,000 troops and 6,000 Guandi army. The two troops were almost the same. Most of the troops were dismounted from the horse and infantry battles. The front row of swords, shields and hands pushed forward on the shield wall. The infantry following behind were mixed with archers, musketeers and gunners, and the cavalry slowly advanced along the military formation on both wings.

The only difference is that there are fewer firearms in the Later Jin army, and most of them are weaker firearms such as bird guns and three-eyed guns. However, the number of archers in the Later Jin Dynasty is very large. Except for musketeers, gunners and dead soldiers in the front row, most of the other infantry hold bows and arrows.

There were very few archers in the Guandi Army formation, but they had a large number of firearms. Among the five thousand infantrymen, there were 1,500 musketeers and more than 100 small cannons.

Su Tai naturally heard of the name of Qinchuan, and also knew that Qinchuan was stirring up the wind and rain in the northwest with his sharp firearms. Not only did he go against the Later Jin Dynasty, but he also tore off his face with the Ming Dynasty and separating the country in the northwest Shanxi.

What Su Tai didn't understand was that such a small person who started a bandit, how could he get the confidence to oppose the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty at the same time, and even wanted to enter the grassland.

This battle can just verify how big this person is and how sharp his firearm is.

There are not many tactics to talk about when fighting in an open area, but rely on morale, discipline, and excellent equipment, as well as the word "courage".

The Guandi Army was well-trained and had won a battle not long ago. Its morale was strong, and its power and range were far better than that of the Later Jin army. Everyone was wearing armor. Although their troops were at a disadvantage, they were well-equipped.

In contrast, Jiannu's advantage is only the number of troops and the ability to fight individual soldiers.

Jiannu fought for decades, and most of them were experienced and powerful, especially the dead soldiers and Bayala who were wearing two or even three layers of armor. They had extremely strong rushing ability. Once they broke into the enemy formation, they would be as unstoppable as a tiger going down the mountain.

Under the gaze of Su Tai and others, the distance between the two armies quickly shortened to the range of the artillery of the Guandi Army.

In an extremely tense atmosphere, the military orders in the two armies rose one after another. The well-trained Guandi army artillery quickly set up various types of artillery and aimed at the slowly approaching Jiannu. The archers in the Jiannu formation also put arrows on the strings, and the few gunners quickly pushed the artillery to the forefront of the military formation.

Dorgon knew the sharpness of Guandi's arms.

He also knew that only by quickly getting closer and rushing the opponent's army formation with lightning speed and the aura of a tiger going down the mountain would he have hope of victory.

Therefore, this battle is about speed and fierceness.

"Sing the roar, rush to the formation!"

As soon as he entered the range of the artillery of the Guandi Army, Dorgon waved without hesitation.

"Woo...woo..."

A short and a long horn sounded quickly next to it.

As the trumpet sounded, the shouts of officers from all over the Later Jin formation quickly sounded, and the entire formation suddenly became commotion.

After a brief commotion, the Later Jin army suddenly burst out with a loud sound of killing. The armored dead soldiers in the front row quickly raised their shields, accelerated their pace, and formed a line of shield walls to rush towards the Guandi army.

The elite Bayala of the Later Jin, who followed closely, quickly formed more than a dozen teams during the advancement, with twenty or thirty people in each team. He followed the dead soldiers, staring at the Guandi Army not far away like a pack of bloodshot scarlet eyes.

Immediately followed by a small number of gunners and musketeers holding various types of musketeers. Because the range of musketeers in the Later Jin Dynasty was limited, these firearms could only move forward a few dozen steps before firing.

The military formation finally had a large number of lunge armors, and there were a small number of elite cavalry covering both wings.

Unlike the tactics of the Later Jin Dynasty in the past, most of these lunge armors were not worn.

When the killing sound was shocking, the dense sound of bowstrings also sounded, and countless arrows broke through the sky, covering the Guandi Army with a harsh whistling sound like ghost howls.

The range of the shooting range of the Later Jin arch with a large angle upward shooting is no less than that of the Guandi Army's flintlock rifle. Some well-made strong bows can even reach more than 200 steps, of course, when the accuracy is abandoned and the power is greatly reduced.

The Guandi Army had already become familiar with the tactics of the Later Jin Dynasty. As soon as the sound of the horn of the Later Jin Dynasty sounded, the well-trained Guandi Army stopped moving forward under the command of many officers and raised the shields in their hands.

The iron-packed dovetail shield is enough to withstand the light arrows shot from a long distance, and also enough to cover up the murderous intent hidden under the shield: the artillery set up did not fire, but was quickly lifted up, and under the cover of the shield, the fish pike advanced in a row of soldiers.

Advancing forward with the artillery were 1,500 musketeers who were ready to go, and 100 magic shooters led by Huang Liuxi.

These artillery, musketeers and sharpshooters were wearing iron helmets and composite cotton armor with iron sheets of Uchimura.

The heart-pounding sound of the air like a ghost howl came to the blink of an eye. In just a moment, the rain of arrows tilted down like a storm.

The overwhelming arrows fell on the dovetail shields, causing a crackling sound boom. Many of them fell from the gap between the shields, hitting the artillery and musketeers who were moving forward below.

Amid a low muffled groan, more than a thousand gunners and musketeers were still pushing forward quickly, and many of them were armed with arrows, like a group of hedgehogs who were rushing to the road.

In the distance, Dorgon, who was riding on a war horse, frowned and looked at the Guandi Army camp.

The airtight shield wall made him feel a little uneasy.

There seemed to be something hidden inside.

"Fourteen, do you see anything?"

Ajige, who was standing by, also felt that the Guandi army was a little unusual, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Dorgon shook his head and suddenly said to the side: "Send the order and let the four thousand elite cavalry in the back formation advance fifty steps."

"Yeah!"

The messenger on the side ran away.

"fourteen……"

"Qin Chuan is cunning by nature. If this battle is... your and my two flags must not be destroyed here."

Dorgon lowered his voice and said solemnly.

Ajig didn't answer the conversation, but frowned and looked at the battlefield not far away.

Although he is irritable, he is not stupid.

Before going to the expedition, the Great Jin Kingdom practiced how to break through the Guandi Army countless times, and finally found only one not-so-smart method: that is, to play to the strengths and avoid weaknesses, speed up the charge, and quickly attack the opponent's army at the expense of some dead soldiers.

The Guandi Army's muskets are loading very fast. When loaded in advance, they can fire two to three guns at a distance of 100 steps, and small guns such as tiger squat cannons can also fire two guns, but if they are sixty steps away, those muskets cannot penetrate the two layers of armor on the dead soldiers.

In other words, they do not need to be afraid of the first round of shooting of the Guandi Army. As long as they can withstand the second round of shooting, they can approach the Guandi Army.

As long as there is a team of Bayala who can break into the opponent's battle formation, they can do their best to wipe the opponent out.

Therefore, Dorgon and Ajige let most of the armor take off their armor in order to speed up the charge and to allow them to have the energy to wipe out the Guandi army after a hundred steps.

But now... both sides have entered a hundred steps away, but the Guandi Army has not opened fire for a long time.

Under the shields filled with arrows, there seemed to be a huge wave ready to go, and a bloody mouth that was sucking.
Chapter completed!
