The finished shaped triangle formation of the Ming army of three small formations resists the enemy, less than 100 meters apart, can form clamping firepower and make the side back of the formation relatively safe.

The reason why the Jiannu cavalry did not gather together was mainly because the speed of attacking was very fast, and the Ming army was worried that too many people would set up the formation for too long.

Jiannu also tried to intersperse the division at first, but under the attack of fierce firepower on nearly three sides, he suffered heavy losses and did not dare to easily insert into the intervals of the triangle array.

Even so, the number of Ming troops was consumed at a very fast speed. Of course, Jiannu paid more casualties.

It was the first time since Feng Datie went to the army to this day that he had experienced such a long period of uninterrupted bloody battles, and the same was true for fighting side by side with him.

Jiannu, who was attacking, had never fought such a battle, nor had he seen the Ming army fighting so tenaciously.

If we talk about the previous tough battles, the Ming army had strong fortifications to rely on and had a psychological advantage.

But the Ming army is not large in number now, and the mounds and woods that are rushing to find nearby are still rushing to find. However, under the fierce attack, it is still undefeated, which shocks and surprises Jiannu.

"Kill, rush!" Niu Lu'er Zhenzhu Ketu shouted loudly, urging his subordinates to rush forward, but no matter how he looked, he was a little angry.

On the periphery of the Ming army's defensive positions, hundreds of Jiannu were killed, with corpses, flags, swords, guns, and arrows all over the ground, which also caused some obstacles to the Jiannu who followed up attacks.

From time to time, muskets burst out from time to time. The distance of dozens of meters is no longer a waste of precision by volleys.

The experienced Ming army musketeers could almost aim and shoot, and specialize in fighting the Jiannu who was the most fierce and jumping the most.

Zhuketu's roar came to an abrupt end, and a lead bullet hit his chin. As the blood and blood splattered, he swayed his body and fell down.

The black iron mask only revealed two blood-tight eyes. Is it hatred or the pleasure that hits him? This is the last scene that Zhuketu saw, but the movement of his brain ended here.

Boom, Boom, Boom... In Jiannu's horrified gaze, the Ming army on the mound threw out a group of smoked iron lumps again.

Explosions were heard one after another, and shrapnel flew up as the smoke rose, blowing Jiannu who rushed under the mound into chaos.

"Crash, kill the slave." Before the smoke had dissipated, amid the shouts, a row of Ming troops rushed down with bayonets. Taking advantage of the chaos of Jiannu, the Ming army made another fierce counterattack.

Puff, puff, puff... The sound of the bayonet entering the flesh was extremely terrifying, but it was soon covered by screams and wails.

The musket shooting on the mound was still continuing, and the firepower was slightly extended, which caused the Jiannu to rush forward to lack the continuous momentum to follow up.

Triangular bayonets are all made of crucible steel. They cannot be cut, but their hardness is one of the best. Moreover, this bayonet is more durable than thin-edged ones, and the armor-breaking is quite sharp.

Puff! The triangular bayonet pierced into Jiannu's belly, and when it was pulled out, blood was already gushing, and the torn wounds were difficult to treat even in later generations.

The face behind the iron mask was ferocious. Although Jiannu couldn't see it, the strange patterns on the mask, coupled with the sprayed blood, had a more intimidating aura.

The brave counterattack of hundreds of bayonets once again left corpses all over the ground in the flesh and blood. Only more than 60 people could return to the mound and gather with their robes.

Take turns to launch a counterattack, and repel Jiannu slightly, keep a distance so that he can kill with muskets and avoid falling into a total melee. This tactic is not complicated, but it requires a fighting spirit that is fearless.

The Dongjiang Army was all formed by the fleeing Liao people, and many of them were even destroyed, and they had an irreconcilable hatred with Jiannu.

However, in the middle and late Wanli periods, and in the several stages of the Later Jin rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, the Liao people's reactions were different. The Liao people's attitude towards the rise of "Liao Affairs" also showed a complicated side due to previous court policy mistakes.

During the Ming Dynasty, although Liaodong was the leader of the nine borders and a military center, it was one of the economically developed and extremely dynamic regions of the Ming Empire.

During its heyday, Liaodong, "the land is rich in valleys, the greed is rich in fresh waters, the mountain is rich in wealth, and the sea is rich in goods", "the family gives enough money, and the whole family is full of food and bribes, and the goods are envied by the world." It is a rich place that is enviable.

But in the middle of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, with the corruption of the government, the depravity of bureaucrats and corruption, the Liao people were exploited by wantonly. In addition, there were many troubles in the borders, frequent wars, and natural disasters and man-made disasters, which made the people of Liaodong miserable.

Back then, people used "officials are like shaving" to describe the imperial court's exploitation of the people of Liaodong. The taxes imposed in Liaodong are based on the population, which is much heavier than the standard of land and acres.

The taxes were heavy, and it would be fine if the people could not bear their lives, but Liaodong was located in the border area, first with the Mongols and then with the Jurchens. During the plunder and war, the Liao people died for nine lives.

For example, in the battle of Tianshui City, 90% of the soldiers and civilians died. Therefore, it is also described as "bandits are like combs".

During the Wanli period, the war against Japanese desperation and aid to Korea was finally achieved, although the Ming Dynasty had the prestige of national power, the war was also extremely costly.

In this war, Liaodong, as the rear closest to the front line, made great sacrifices.

Because the imperial court recruited a large number of Liaodong men to serve as civilians to transport supplies, the result of the strong laborers leaving their hometowns was that the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were unable to farm, resulting in the desolation of the countryside.

The process of transporting supplies by civilians was also extremely difficult. Zhou Confucius, a minister in Liaodong at that time, wrote a letter to Wanli, describing that "the Liao people died of transportation and nine out of ten families."

What made the situation of the Liao people even worse was the Little Ice Age that started at the end of the 16th century. Although the impact on the mainland was not obvious at that time, there were constant natural disasters in Liaodong, but there were detailed historical records.

During the Jiajing period alone, various disasters occurred in Liaodong as many as thirty-seven times, and they never stopped once a year.

The three mountains of conquered men have already suppressed the Liao people, but Emperor Wanli sent the tax supervisor Gao Huai to open the curtain of "Gao Huai to disrupt Liao".

After Gao Huai arrived in Liaodong, he soon showed his superb skills in plundering people's wealth, taking advantage of others, and extorting.

The folk song at that time said: "The Liao people who have no brains will all be cut by Huai; the Liao people who have no brains will all be absorbed by Huai." This reflects the extreme hatred of Gao Huai at that time.

Gao Huai not only made money crazy, but also dared to withhold the Liao army's military pay and humiliate officers and soldiers, causing two eye-catching military mutinies.

Moreover, Gao Huai also intervened in the horse market trade and forced himself to buy the good horses brought by the Jurchens at a low price.

This behavior made Mongolian Urya tribe and Jurchen tribe extremely dissatisfied, and the Liaodong border army was extremely annoyed because they could not get good horses.

In short, Gao Huai's disaster in Liaodong for more than ten years not only destroyed Liaodong's economy, society, people's livelihood, and military, causing countless Liao people to destroy their families and displace them, but also intensified ethnic conflicts and made the situation in Liaodong, which was already full of crisis, more precarious.

In the 46th year of Wanli, the Later Jin rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. The inner resentment and disappointment of the Liao people towards the court also became one of the reasons why Nurhaci won repeatedly.

From the initial attack on Liaodong by the Later Jin army to the occupation of Liao and sinking by the Liao people, most of the Liao people mainly evade, moved to western Liao, or went to Korea, the negative attitude of anti-Jin is evident.

However, Nurhaci's narrow ethnic policy was to organize the Liao people into slavery and massacre them at every turn, which gradually changed the attitude of the Liao people.

A large number of Liao people fled in the occupied areas of the Later Jin Dynasty.\nAll forms of resistance struggles broke out one after another, undoubtedly showing the huge changes in the mentality of Liao people under cruel oppression.

Zhu Youxiao was at the right time. By establishing Dongjiang Town and vigorously supporting it, he moved the Liao people to implement a strategic retreat in western Liaoning, the Liao people, who were in the most difficult situation to survive, saw hope and gradually became the main force in the anti-Jin period.

It is similar to the Guanning Army and the "island soldiers" in history. The current Liao Town and Dongjiang Town are mainly Liao people. However, in terms of actual combat power and situation, they are now not a little better than history.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao continued to invest resources, hoping to achieve the goal of pacifying Liao in five years, and also wanted to seize Nurhaci's wrong policy, use the Liao people to defend the Liao territory, and use the Liao people to restore Liao.

The Liao people lived in the northeastern border area. Because of the desolate border, cold climate, backward culture, and strong folk customs, they formed the characteristics of being generous, rough, and "strong in nature, good at riding and shooting", which was the best source of soldiers.

The importance of Huang Taiji can even be considered a little afraid. The main reason is that Huang Taiji actively strives for the Liao army in history.

Zhu Youxiao was not worried about the Jurchens alone. However, if the Later Jin Dynasty won the Liao people, the war to pacify the Liao Dynasty would greatly increase the difficulty.

Therefore, the best time to pacify Liao was to take advantage of Nurhaci's still alive and constantly use massacre and oppression to force the Liao people to flee and resist.

The achievements of Liaozhen and Dongjiang Army all prove how correct Zhu Youxiao's investment and policies were. This bloody battle with fewer enemies and more kicked off the war of "restored Liao territory with Liao people".

Well, it is not so accurate. But Zhu Youxiao's idea of ​​using only the Liao people to pacify Liao is indeed becoming more and more hopeful of realization.

As for the vast majority of Liao people who experienced cruel reality, they are gradually realizing that only by restoring their hometown and restoring their homes can they get rid of their miserable fate and live a normal life again.

Of course, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death. Who would want to die if you can live? Except for those who are tired of living and cannot think about it.

But when facing a desperate situation, it often inspires the courage to look at death. This is the case with the Ming army now. It is impossible to escape, and perhaps die faster.

Since that's the case, you'll kill yourself and fight for a future without worries about food and clothing for your loved ones.

Moreover, it is not surprising that the elites who have been through battle formations have burst out with amazing courage and combat power.

Jiannu is about to attack again! Feng Datie tightened the cloth strip on his shoulder, and the pain in the wound made him frown in a difficult sense.

The troops have been reduced again, and now only about 200 people are left to continue fighting, and many of them are still injured. The defensive positions have to shrink again, leaving only a few dozen meters of area.

The sound of gunfire rumbling, and the sound was getting closer. Feng Datie knew that the main force was breaking through the blockade of Jiannu and rushed to reinforce.

I wonder if it was still time? Feng Datie's eyes stopped at the dozens of iron lumps placed on the ground, and then raised his head to look at the friendly positions.

The battle continued, and the situation of the friendly forces was worse than that of their own. The figures swayed, and the shouts of killing sounded, and they were already trapped in a cruel and bloody melee battle.

But the high-mounted military flag, although it was fine to shoot many holes by arrows, was still fluttering in the wind with a striking and proud look.

His eyes turned again, Feng Datie glanced at the corpse of the pillow at the defensive line. There were Jiannu and his own robes. But more of them were Jiannu.

"It's worth it!" Feng Datie exhaled and said two words briefly and vigorously.

"It's worth it, it's so fucking... it's worth it." An echoed next to him, causing Feng Datie to turn to look.

A bearded soldier opened a crack in the iron mask and was carefully litting the cigarette roll on his mouth. I don’t know where I got it, and how long I had treasured it, the cigarette roll was a little wrinkled and twisted.

Hehe, the bearded exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke, and saw the chief who had been watching for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh dryly, saying, "Sir, I'll beat at least five Jiannu to death."

Looking at the bearded man, Feng Datie waved his hand and signaled him to continue smoking. This was a violation of the regulations, especially when he was on the battlefield, he could easily ignite the gunpowder on himself or his teammates.

The sound of gunfire became closer, and even shouts of killing could be heard, but Jiannu's attack began again.

Military Flag - Feng Datie's eyes swept across friendly positions, gunfire had stopped, and although there were still figures entangled and fought, the military flag was gone.

Feng Datie felt ache in his heart, but he quickly looked away. He could not see his expression while wearing an iron mask. He could only wave his arms and the blood-stained saber in his hand pointed in the direction where Jiannu rushed.

"Let's fire!" A slightly hoarse voice gave the order, and then it was covered by a roar.

The sound of horns was sobbing, the sound of guns and cannons was roaring like thunder, and the fierce battle began again...

"Temushen led his men to stop the enemy, and Tunday led his men to continue to attack the earth mound." Sahalian gritted his teeth and issued an order.

On the official road, the reinforcements of the Ming army were led by the chariots and had appeared in their sight.

The Fran machine cannon fired in a round of rapid fire, and as the flames flashed and white smoke rose, countless sootballs were shot out one after another, killing the soldiers who were trying to stop the advance.

Then, amid the shouts of killing, the Ming soldiers holding bayonets crossed the chariot and rushed forward bravely, getting closer and closer to the battlefield.

Carefully planned and damaged the troops and generals, but in the end, even this isolated enemy could not be eliminated. This would be a very heavy blow to one's morale.

Sahalian could never accept such a result. He decided to take a gamble and throw thousands of people in it, and he must achieve the purpose of the initial battle.

As the order was issued, a large group of Jiannu rushed towards the official road. The sound of gunfire, cannons, and the sound of killing were shaking the sky and the earth. Arrows and lead bullets were shooting back and forth in the air, flesh and blood were splattering, and life was disappearing.
