In the 18th year of Chongzhen.

At the end of September.

The weather is bright and cool in autumn.

The three armies of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu almost all attacked outside the capital.

In fact, Zuo Liangyu's arrived a little earlier, but his own army did not dare to attack the capital, so he waited outside. Only when the Qing Dynasty's 120,000 troops and Wu Sangui's two armies arrived together did he dare to come.

These three armies have finally arrived.

He Xuan, Yan Yingyuan and others stood on the top of the city.

The enemy was centered on the Qing army.

So far, the Qing Manchu army had about 400 Niulu and 300 Niulu, a Niulu, totaling about 120,000 people. The people of the Eight Banners were arranged in the array of each banner.

The Eight Banners Manchuria Principal Banners, the Eight Banners Manchuria Principal Yellow Banners, the Eight Banners Zhengbai Principal Blue Banners, the Eight Banners Bai Banners, the Eight Banners Zhenghong Banners, the Eight Banners Red Banners, and the Eight Banners Blue Banners.

They used Niu Ling as a combined array, and then each Niu Record was listed as a small array. They stood solemnly and had excellent equipment.

Elite troops use silver light and silver armor.

And the troops of each time were all cotton coats and armor.

Each of them was equipped with a helmet and iron-inserted cotton armor, and they rode on a tall horse one by one. The long and short weapons were all thick and heavy. There were shields and huge bows filled with light arrows and heavy arrows.

Their eyes were cruel and violent, full of confidence in the battlefield.

They have never encountered opponents on the battlefield, except He Xuan.

Of course, they came this time to destroy He Xuan.

Now, every soldier believes that under such heavy troops, He Xuan will be destroyed.

As long as He Xuan dies, they will be an invincible army in the world. At that time, they will sweep across the Central Plains and establish the Central Plains. Every soldier can steal a lot of money and women in the rich Southern Dynasty.

Of course, a large red-clothed cannon and a large number of musketeers were also set up in the rear. These musketeers were not just musketeers. In addition to wearing musketeers, they were also equipped with bows, arrows, and swords.

In this era when firearms were not mature, they could be converted into other troops at any time.

What's even more terrifying is that although they were like swords and guns, crowds of people, and a huge number of people, they were neat and quiet, with only a few occasional sounds of horse hooves coming.

It is already a rare and valuable elite soldier to be able to line up to this level.

If there are 100,000 such powerful soldiers, the world can be determined.

Not to mention, there were twelve numbers in the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, if He Xuan had not suddenly emerged, in history, the Qing Dynasty had already occupied the Central Plains a year ago and established its capital in Beijing.

Generally speaking, the 120,000 troops from the Qing Dynasty would not be fully released.

During the Battle of Songshan, the Ming Dynasty dispatched 120,000 troops to fight, but the Qing Dynasty dispatched only 100,000 troops to fight.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty believed that 100,000 troops could defeat the last elite of the Ming army and kill the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, we encountered these corrupt and domineering ministers in the Ming Dynasty who were oppressed by He Xuan to the extreme, so we asked them for help, and even let them pass directly through Shanhaiguan. This made all the senior officials of the Qing Dynasty think that this was the best opportunity to kill He Xuan.

If you miss it, it will be too difficult to encounter such a good opportunity again.

Therefore, the remaining few banner masters of the Qing Dynasty now discussed and suppressed all their wealth. As long as they killed He Xuan, they could conquer the world. If He Xuan could not be killed, let's not discuss anything.

He Xuan's performance in the Battle of Songshan and the battle to fight Fan Wencheng later were indeed too shocked.

However, the army on the right side of the Qing Dynasty was not the army of Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu, but the other two armies.

One is an army of the North Korean army, to be precise, the Xian Eight Banners.

As early as seven or eight years ago, Huang Taiji was not good at attacking Ningjin's defense line, so he temporarily ignored Ningjin's defense line and made a move to report Outer Mongolia and North Korea, and organized a large number of personnel into the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Xian Eight Banners.

The army of the Eight Banners of Xian is to put it bluntly the army of North Korea.

These armies are obviously much worse than the Qing Dynasty's own army. The army of the Eight Banners of the Xian Eight Banners were short, and the men in the army were feminine and a little feminine. Such an army was the same level as Li Zicheng's miscellaneous army. When they met Li Zicheng's elite army, they had to kneel in minutes.

However, it’s still idle anyway, so it’s quite good to use it as cannon fodder.

On the other hand were the troops of the Mongolian Aohan tribe, Naiman tribe and Tumote tribe. They also sent troops, and at least two-thirds of their generals were, some of them paid 10,000, and some of them paid 5,000. Together, they actually had an army of 40,000 or 50,000.

The troops of these Mongolian tribes looked much more majestic, with soldiers and men in it. In terms of personal courage, they were afraid they were still above the Qing army.

However, the military achievements of these Mongolian troops were not very good.

In terms of overall combat effectiveness, it may not be very strong, and it is definitely not as good as the Qing army. Perhaps it is about the same level as Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, or even slightly inferior.

These are all subordinate forces of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty also knew that this was a battle that determined its own destiny, a battle to completely eliminate He Xuan and He Da Demon King. At this moment, if He Xuan does not destroy him, he will be destroyed.

Therefore, not only did they take out all their assets, but they left thousands of troops in Shengjing.

He also brought all the subordinate troops over.

In addition to the Eight Banners of Xian and the Mongolian tribes, there were 50,000 or 60,000 troops.

Of course, the Qing Dynasty also caught He Xuan off guard, so it was not publicly announced. The city along the way saw the Qing Dynasty and Wu Sangui invasion, and most of them did not even have the courage to investigate the night. They could only tell the outside world that there were many large troops, but they did not see that there were more than 50,000 or 60,000 troops.

On the right, the army was led by Wu Sangui, known as the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen spent many of the Ming Dynasty's treasurys. These Guanning Iron Cavalry were actually only about 10,000 yuan, and these elites were all wearing good scale armor, carrying bows and arrows, and many of them carried muskets, carrying swords and guns and other weapons.

The elite soldiers of about 10,000 obviously have better military discipline. Although they are not as silent as those from the Qing Dynasty, they are not far behind.

The subsequent 40,000 troops were a little worse. They were wearing cheaper chain mail, and the difference in weapons was not big. Guanning Iron Cavalry also stood in line, clearly distinguishing the path.

These Guanning Iron Cavalry are worthy of being the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty. Just by looking at the momentum of this army, they are quite impressive.

The last remaining soldier was led by Zuo Liangyu.

In original history, Zuo Liangyu had 200,000 troops in 1643 AD, and had soldiers in hand. He could listen to all the words of the court but refused to listen to them. The court asked him to send troops, do things, and give benefits, and at least he would be granted a marquis or something.

In 1645, he took advantage of the end of the Ming Dynasty and recruited troops crazily. His soldiers reached a huge amount of 800,000. However, his 800,000 were obviously similar to Li Zicheng's 600,000, and they were all mobs and were not beaten at all.

And in this plane, He Xuan changed history.

The generals of Li Zicheng's mob were shot and killed, causing great collapse.

This shocked Zuo Liangyu, and he also lost the idea of ​​more soldiers, and even started to train elite soldiers.

In his opinion, his 50,000 troops were quite elite. All of them had chain mails, with various weapons on their backs. Some of them had horses in the army and could stand in a row.

He believed that his soldiers were already a rare surprise in the world.

Therefore, this time Zuo Liangyu led 50,000 troops to come, and the first goal was naturally to kill He Xuan. But the second goal was to show off his elite soldiers to the whole world.

When he saw the Guanning Iron Cavalry, he felt a chill.

After seeing the Qing army, he felt even more heartbroken.

Is the Qing army already so elite?

Damn, no wonder there are endless defeats coming from the border.

Next, Zuo Liangyu became even more satisfied. With such a strong army in the Qing Dynasty, what difficulties would it be to deal with a mere He Xuan? As for people, if you live in this world, you must stand in a good position. If you don’t stand in the right position, it will be useless no matter how capable you are.

This time, standing with the Qing Dynasty, killing He Xuan was really in a right position.

...

He Xuan stood on the city wall, standing with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the five armies under the city wall.

The army is densely packed, layered, spreading to the sky.

The size of the enemy's army this time was much larger than that in the Battle of Songshan.

During the Battle of Songshan, I was not the main general and Hong Chengchou was the main general, so I was under great pressure.

But now, I am the leader.

"Brother Yan, it seems that the number of enemy troops is more than we imagined, almost 300,000."

Yan Yingyuan's eyes swept over the other troops, and finally stared at the Qing Dynasty's army formation: "I was in Jiangnan before, and I had never seen the Qing Dynasty's army formation. I only knew that their army had repeatedly defeated the elite border troops of the Ming Dynasty. When I saw it today, it was so fierce."

"I have learned the military books of the Qi Jun family. When I was a young man, I saw the might of the Qi Jun army. The Qing Dynasty's military appearance is now in its prime. Although it is not as good as the Qi Jun army, the gap is not too big. Their number is far greater than that of the Qi Jun army, and it is very powerful."

"It is naturally great that the Qing Dynasty could defeat the Ming border troops like this." He Xuan said: "Now, you have 50,000 troops in your hands. You also know what the level of these 50,000 troops are during these training days. So how long do you think you can hold on in the attack of nearly 300,000 troops on the opposite side?"

"Those 50,000 troops are not considered elite soldiers, but they can also be used. The city of Beijing is strong and the city is vast. Besides, I heard that General He Shen has the magical skill of shooting cannons with arrows, which can make the opponent's red-clothed cannons attacking the city lose their effect. In this case, there is no problem with sticking to it for a month, but after all, I commanded a large-scale battle for the first time, and I dare not boast that I can hold on for a longer time." Yan Yingyuan said modestly.

"With your strength, there is no problem with sticking to it for two or even three months. However, there is no need. I have a great killing weapon that is invincible in the world, so it should not be used at the beginning. After you stick to it for five days, I will use the great killing weapon that is invincible in the world."

"At that time, this battle will be settled."

"Five days are easy to turn your hand." Yan Yingyuan said confidently: "However, He Shen will use you with an invincible killing weapon in the world after five days. He thought that it would be better to suppress the opponent's spirit first and then use it. Since that's the case, how about waiting for me to keep it for ten days and half a month?"
