Seeing a hint of flush on Zhu Youjian's face, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian complained secretly.w w. vm) Yang Sichang felt that he was carrying the safety of the country. He completely ignored the anger of Zhu Youjian, knelt on the ground, knelt on the ground with his head, and advised: "Your Majesty, you cannot show off your temporary pleasure, and ignore the safety of the country..."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youjian was completely revengeful and filled with blood debts and blood payments. How could he hear Yang Sichang's words? Zhu Youjian waved his hand to interrupt Yang Sichang and said impatiently: "You don't have to say too much, I have a decision!"

Zhu Youjian knew that Yang Sichang tried his best to oppose the death battle with the Tartars, and would not vote. He turned to Wang Chengen beside him and ordered: "Transfer my oral orders to Liu Zongliang into the palace!"

When Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian heard this, their faces were deteriorated. Zhu Youjian did not hesitate to bypass Yang Sichang and ordered the chief assistant Liu Zong to vote for it. It seems that there is no room for recovery for the death battle with the Tartars.

...

One day later, Zhu Youjian gave Lu Xiangsheng Shangfang's sword to supervise the world's soldiers and horses, summoned Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi general Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, and Hu Dawei led 10,000 troops to the capital.

Out of trust in Lu Xiangsheng, Zhu Youjian rejected Gao Qiqian's request to serve as Lu Xiangsheng's military supervisor, and handed over the troops and horses of Ning to commander Gao Qiqian.

In order to show his support for Lu Xiangsheng, Zhu Youjian also took out ten thousand taels of silver from the treasury to reward the army.

In desperation, Yang Sichang took the opportunity to send Lu Xiangsheng to the expedition, and retreated to Lu Xiangsheng, saying, "I would like to ask Governor Lu to use his troops for the sake of the small number of elite troops in the Ming Dynasty!"

Lu Xiangsheng sneered without saying a word and left the capital...

When the Tartars were looting around the north of the capital and east of the Ming army was afraid of war and avoiding the enemy, the horn of the counterattack against the Tartars was the first to sound on the Liaodong Peninsula.

After only five days after Lin Chunhong left Pi Island, a large amount of military weapons and food were transported from Jeju Island to Pi Island. Zheng Fulin refused to delay for a moment and stepped up training soldiers to try to integrate the elites of the Dongjiang Army into the Jinwu Army as soon as possible. Ten days later, hundreds of officers arrived at Pi Island from Shanghai, and the Jinwu Army was officially expanded. Dou Shiwen was the deputy commander of the army and Chen Huan was the general manager of the military. He was under his jurisdiction. After seizing the six centipede ships of the Dongjiang Army, the Navy Battalion had ten centipede ships, including other transport ships and auxiliary ships, with more than fifty ships, and their strength was further enhanced.

After more than ten days of training together, Zheng Fulin gave the order and divided his troops into two groups. Zheng Fulin personally led the Jinwu army to land in the bay near the Jinzhou Isthmus. He walked west of Hengshan and looked at Wanghaiguo City in Lushunkou to kill. Wang Dagui led the First Army of the Dragon and Tiger Army to land in the Heishi Reef Bay south of the Jinzhou Isthmus, and followed the narrow flat ground east of Hengshan and also rushed towards Wanghaiguo City.

To the south of the Isthmus of Jinzhou, it is only eighty miles long from east to west and forty miles wide from north to south. Only Wanghaiguo City, which is not solid, Zheng Fulin actually concentrated tens of thousands of troops, which is one of the rare squandering moves of the Jingzhou army.

Wanghaiguo City is like a small boat in the stormy waves, which may turn into powder at any time and become the only city in history books with the name left.

Back then, after capturing Wanghaiguo City, Yuetuo left behind the third-class Jialazhen Chaohar, leading more than 600 cavalry and more than 1,300 Han soldiers to garrison.

The so-called third-class Jiala Ezhen, also known as the third-class Jiala Zhangjing, is roughly equivalent to a guerrilla general in the Ming army.

Although Jinzhou in November is not as cold as Chenyang, Tieling is as cold as it is, and the temperature is as low as freezing point, which is unbearable. Especially for the First Army of the Dragon and Tiger Army, most of the soldiers are from the Han people on Guangdong and Luzon. They live in the scorching heat all year round and do not know what the cold is, so it is even more difficult to adapt to it. They wrap themselves tightly with thick cotton coats.

Fortunately, the Jingzhou Logistics Department was well prepared and equipped with sufficient winter clothes. Zheng Fulin also conducted specialized sexual training for Kuhan, and no large-scale frostbite occurred among the soldiers.

Even if some soldiers suffer from frostbite, they will receive treatment from the military doctor in time, without damaging their combat effectiveness.

Chen Huan is a native Han Chinese on Luzon Island. He was particularly uncomfortable with the cold. He rode on a high-headed horse and kept putting his hands to his mouth to keep warm. Although Chen Huan was the general manager of the Jinwu Army, he was used to acting with Dou Shiwen, hoping to experience the blood and fire on the front-line battlefield. Zheng Fulin also fulfilled his wishes and ignored him.

Dou Shiwen was the deputy commander of the army and led the First Battalion of the Jinwu Army. At this time, he was the vanguard of the Jinwu Army and was at the forefront of the entire army. Dou Shiwen was a native of Huguang, not afraid of the cold at all. He kept angrily at Chen Huan and couldn't help but say sarcastically: "I'll be warm when I'm so angry? Put away your dog's paws quickly. If you really meet the Tartars, are you still going to abandon the swords and guns?"

Chen Huan laughed a few times and said embarrassedly: "Just like a comfort in my heart, I really met a Tartar. Apart from cutting swords and guns, even my parents forgot who they were. How could they still get angry?"

Dou Shiwen laughed and said, "Indeed, when he was a real sword and a gun, he really forgot who his parents were..."

Just as he was smiling, he suddenly saw a whistle rushing towards him from afar. Dou Shiwen immediately restrained himself and said with a calm face: "I guess the Tartars have left the city..."

Sure enough, he ran to Dou Shiwen ten steps away from his horse, jumped off his horse, rolled and crawled in front of Dou Shiwen, and reported anxiously: "Fifteen miles away, there are more than 600 cavalrymen and more than 1,000 infantrymen, and are heading here!"

"Will you dare to come and fight for more than a thousand men?" After hearing the report, Dou Shiwen felt that the Tartars had eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard, and said incredible.

"Notify the Central Army immediately!"

As soon as Dou Shiwen finished speaking, he roared and roared "receive order", then jumped onto the horse and ran straight north.

Dou Shiwen ordered again: "The whole battalion stops moving forward, be on guard, and prepare for the battle!"

After a few minutes of ordering, the soldiers of the First Battalion skillfully arranged into a font-shaped formation, pointing the tip of the formation in the direction of the Tartars' attack.

The Jingzhou Army uses the battalion as the basic combat unit. When facing the enemy in the firearm, there are generally four square formations. The square formation that breaks forward is the square formation, and the soldiers are wearing plate armor, with tight protection, holding spears and swords and shields. There are twelve rows and forty rows of square formations, with 480 troops. The left and right wings are all musketeers, without armor, and each wing has a total of nine rows and fifty rows, totaling 900 troops. In addition, there is a slightly smaller square formation that breaks forward between the two wings behind. This square formation is reserved for troops, and the artillery carries thunder cannons. In this square formation, depending on the situation, the reserved forces are more than 500 people. At a time, it can reach more than 100 people, and at a time, it is not even more than 100 people.

"Da...dah..." The rumbling iron hooves hit the ground freely, and the earth was shaking, with awesome momentum. The Tatar cavalry arrived so fast. After only a few minutes of the first battalion, they could see the black sand in the sky gradually approaching the array.

Apparently, the Tatar cavalry escaped from the slow-moving infantry and prepared to come and take advantage of the First Battalion.

It turned out that Chaohaer was shocked when he learned that tens of thousands of troops of Jingzhou Army had landed. Although Chaohaer was arrogant and did not take the combat power of the Ming army seriously, he was not so stupid that he could fight against more than 10,000 troops with less than 2,000 troops.

The Tartars were not good at defending the city, and Wanghaiguo City was not as strong as the city and the pool was wide, and the defense was tight. Therefore, Chao Har made a quick decision and led all his troops out of the city, trying to find a gap and escape.

When the Jinwu Army's wardlings discovered Chaohaer, Chaohaer also discovered the first battalion led by Dou Shiwen. Seeing that the first battalion had less than 2,000 troops, Chaohaer became interested in taking advantage of the situation and immediately sent all the cavalry to come, preparing to do a vote before leaving.

In Chaohaer's eyes, more than 2,000 infantry are no match for more than 600 elite cavalry at all. Perhaps, if you just need a little scare, the infantry will escape in sight and become the target of cavalry pursuit.

However, when Chaohaer saw the First Battalion waiting in full force, with swords and guns standing straight in the direction of the cavalry's raid, he immediately ordered the cavalry to stop two miles away and looked at the army he had never seen before with a cold look.

Out of instinct, Chao Hal felt at first sight that the spearmen and sword and shield hands in the front formation were the strong enemies, and it was very difficult to deal with. As for the musketeers on the left and right wings, Chao Hal didn't take them seriously at all.

"After letting go in the face of the battle, I was waiting for the ghost under the knife..."

Chao Hal couldn't help but be proud and said to the left and right. He pointed to the musket array on the left wing and continued, "There is not much time, and the reinforcements of the Southern Barbarians arrived in an instant. We divided them into two parts, rushed up, and retreated after a killing. Never fight!"

After receiving the order, the troops began to change horses. After changing horses in a mess, they untied their saber from their waists and held them high in their hands. With a loud shout, "Start..."

In the first part, about 300 cavalrymen pulled the reins, slightly adjusted their heads, and drove the horses to circle around the first battalion.

As the Tartars began to move, the muzzles of the musketeers also turned with the war horses. When the first cavalry of the Tartars barely turned to the left-wing musketeers' phalanx, they suddenly shouted: "Run..."

The Tartar cavalry kicked the horse's belly hard, held a cold sabre in his right hand, and suddenly accelerated, like a shell out of the borehole, and ejected towards the musketeers' phalanx.

"Boom...boom..."

When the Tartar cavalry was more than 400 steps away from the phalanx, more than ten thunderbolt cannons fired at the right time, and the flowering bullet landed just over ten steps in front of the cavalry. As shrapnel flew across, more than ten cavalry were overturned to the ground. Before even the screams were heard, they were instantly stepped on the meat mud by the war horses behind. The elevation angle of the thunderbolt cannon had already been adjusted. When the Tartar cavalry was spinning, the thunderbolt also turned, so the thunderbolt's reaction was so rapid.

The Tartar cavalry were startled. Although they often faced the artillery fire of the Ming army and their horses were specially trained and were not afraid of the cannon sound, they obviously found that the artillery shells fired by the Ming army in front of them were different from usual and seemed surprisingly powerful.

They didn't have time to think about it, the war horses were as fast as lightning, and had already rushed to a distance of only 150 steps from the square formation. The Tartar cavalry familiarly laid their heads low, and some even hid under the horse's belly, trying their best to reduce the area of ​​ammunition.
