As long as there are enough troops in the city, the defenders should not passively block themselves in the city. They must go out of the city to rely on the city, or even build strongholds and fortresses outside the city. Only in this way can they have a better chance of winning and take the initiative.

Qin Liangyu is a veteran general. She strongly advocates going out of the city to fight, and Wen Anzhi fully supports it.

Wen'an's 10,000 troops were divided into two routes, stationed in Fucheng and Dongguan Tucheng.

Qin Liangyu and Zhang Shipeng each commanded 4,000 soldiers and formed a formation in the west of the city. Governor Zhang Dai led 2,000 strange soldiers to ambush in the river bend downstream.

The Ming army, with 20,000 troops, obviously had a great advantage.

As long as they don't waste time and can cooperate with each other, they will be invincible.

Although they didn't know yet, Zhu Pengyi had also successfully captured Yangping Pass and rushed to Mian County.

The core of Qin Liangyu's battle is to lean against the city and back the water, and form a formation to fight.

If the Tatars dare to come, they will defend and counterattack; if they don't come, they will defend.

Eight thousand men and horses, organized into battalions, formed a military formation, with spears and shields in front, bows and blunderbuss in the back, and a light cavalry on each wing.

The distance between the two armies was several miles.

Li Guohan and Ao Bai waited and watched for a long time, feeling unsure but a little unwilling.

After all, although Qin Liangyu was famous, he was also defeated by their Eight Banners, and the white-pole soldiers were defeated by them more than once.

Moreover, they had just defeated Zhang Xianzhong, so although they were tired at this time, they were still relatively confident.

I felt that the Ming army had taken advantage of the situation to seize the city. They had just captured Yangping Pass and now they were seizing Nanzheng City. I was very angry.

"The Ming army has only seven or eight thousand men in formation outside the city. Excluding the wounded, our army has at least twice as many capable fighters as them. I think these troops can be divided into two wings, each with seven or eight thousand men."

"After the shield chariot, cotton armor, shields, etc. are in place, the shield chariot is in front, the infantry is behind, cover with bows and arrows and muskets, and the cavalry is on both wings to support."

The Qing army's shield chariot tactics are still very strong in attacking and breaking formations. The shield chariot and the shield with cotton armor have strong defensive capabilities. Coupled with their powerful bows, heavy arrows, fire blunderbuss, and artillery, the frontal field is

In a battle, the Ming army could rarely withstand this offensive. As long as they broke the formation and the cavalry rushed over, they would win a complete victory.

Outside the Pass, Guan Ning's army could not withstand such an offensive.

After a brief discussion, it was finally decided that Gushan Beizi Tunqi would lead the 2,000 Mongolian Eight Banners, Gushan Ezhen Han Dai would lead the 2,080 Manchurian Banners, Zhao Guangrui would lead the 2,088 Han Army, and Zhang Yong would lead the 2,000 Shaanxi Green Camp.

, a total of 8,000 men and horses formed the right wing and took the lead in launching the attack.

Li Guohan led the left wing to respond, while Obai still led a group of Manchurian elite cavalry in preparation.

······

Han Dai was from the Manta clan, and although his title was not high, he was still a brave general among the younger generation. He returned to the front of the battle and immediately ordered a strong attack to tear apart the Southern Barbarians' front in one fell swoop.

"The shield carts are still behind, not all of them have crossed the river, and some of the large shields are still behind." An officer told Han Dai that the shield carts were not in place yet, and it would take about half an hour for the shield carts, large shields, etc. to arrive.

Everything is in place.

In addition, he suggested that if the soldiers were tired, it would be a good time to let them rest before attacking.

But Han Dai couldn't wait. He felt that these Ming troops were no different from Zhang Xianzhong's Western bandits, and they might even be worse than the Western bandits who had dominated the world for many years.

"Haven't some shield cars in the army already arrived? These are enough. Why wait for all the shield cars to cross the river? Just leave the remaining shield cars to the left wing."

Han Dai gave the order.

Let the Han army go forward, push a few shield chariots in front, use shields behind to make up for it, cover the infantry with bows behind, and press directly over.

This tactic was used by the Qing army before and after entering the Pass. Especially after entering the Pass, it basically never failed.

Even though there were not many shield vehicles, the cotton armor on the Qing army had very good defensive capabilities.

Just put on all the armor.

"They won't be able to withstand our arrows for long!" Han Dai shouted confidently. Tunqi was responsible for commanding the Mongolian cavalry, covering both sides. Facing Han Dai, who was also from the clan, he did not object to this arrangement.

The horn sounded.

The Qing army launched the attack without waiting for a moment.

Li Guohan frowned when he saw the dispatched right wing, but did not send anyone to stop it.

"Go and unload the shield cart at the back and transport it across the river quickly. Also, everyone should put on their cotton armor."

An assistant leader said, "A sudden charge from the right wing can beat the shit out of these southern barbarians. We may not need to wear armor at all, otherwise we have to take it off as soon as we put it on. It's such a hot day and everyone is rushing."

I’ve been traveling for two days and I’m exhausted.”

Li Guohan glared at him, but the Manchu leader was not very afraid.

Li Guohan knew that this was because he was the Han Army's Gushan'er Zhen with a white flag, and he was also Dorgon's confidant. In the past, he, the Han Army's Gushan'er with the Han Army Flag, naturally had a high status. Hauge, Wu Sangui and others left one after another

Later, it was appropriate for him to temporarily take over as the head coach.

But Dorgon suddenly died of illness, and his two brothers died. Although Dorgon was still posthumously named emperor, everyone knew that Li Guohan was now a dog without a backer.

How could those Manchu nobles obey him?

Just like Tunqi, Han Dai, and Obai, they didn't take Li Guohan seriously, so Li Guohan clearly asked the right wing to prepare a shield chariot and put on cotton armor before attacking.

But Han Dai attacked directly. Not only did he not wait for the shield car behind him, but many Qing troops even rushed forward without even wearing cotton armor.

They had run all the way, it was too hot, and the cotton armor was heavy, so they didn't even wear it. Now that they were suddenly attacked, it was too late, so they simply didn't bother to wear it.

Everyone felt that one impact was enough to defeat the Ming army's formation.

Why go to all that trouble and suffer that pain?

When the time comes to attack a city, it's not too late to put on cotton armor, hold up a shield, and huddle behind a shield cart.

"kill!"

The right-wing cavalry shouted and charged towards the Ming army.

The two thousand Mongolian light cavalry that were supposed to be the flank cover for the infantry, under the leadership of Beizi Tunqi, relied on the speed of the horses to actually run to the front, and then simply did not wait for the infantry, nor did they notify Han Dai.

The Eight Banners cavalry charged directly towards the Ming army array.

There is a strong intention to seize the credit and be the first.

These Eight Banners Mongolian cavalry, led by Manchurian officers, rushed straight down the Ming army like a tide.

Thousands of cavalry galloping wildly.

The earth shook.

This momentum is indeed captivating and frightening.

Ming army defense line.

Zhang Shipeng rode his horse to the front of the formation, "Raise your gun!"

"Raise the gun!"

"Archers and musketeers are ready to meet the enemy!"

“Kill the enemy and get a reward!

"Behead those who retreat!"
Chapter completed!
