Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 433
With the camping for a few days, it's very lively when you come and go.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, it seemed that the preparations were complete, and the Qing Dynasty specially invited the battle.

The letter was placed in front of Zhu Yixi.

Of course, he can also choose not to agree.

Guarding the city is.

However, the Qing army was huge and there were many cavalry, enough to cut off the grain roads of Daheweibao.

Either encircle and fight for aid, or trap the Ming army to death.

No matter which choice, it is not the best for Zhu Yixi.

In comparison, a head-on decisive battle is a good choice.

At that time, the scene will be chaotic, and if several 100,000 people fight together, the chances of escape are very high.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Although Zhu Yixi said before that he was very tough, but his body was very honest. He was still reluctant to part with this Daming whom he had struggled for many years.

"Then tomorrow!"

Facing the silent gazes of the generals, the emperor spoke.

"The final general will obey the king's orders!"

Crashing, dozens of people moved in unison, and the hot air they exhaled filled the entire room.

On this day, it seems that the weather is beautiful, the sky is clear, and the sun seems to have specially removed the chill, making people warm.

As early as before dawn, the smoke had already been lit in the fourth watch, and the soft meat pies and fragrant broth were presented, and all the troops, including the Beijing camp, feasted on them.

In order to replenish their physical strength, everyone carried a hard vegetable cake the size of a human face in their arms. In this winter, it could even be used as a protective mirror, which was loved by soldiers.

As soon as the sun appeared, the Ming army was ready to go.

Immediately, there was a burst of drumming from the top of the city, the sound was dull and rapid, and the sound of the horn also sounded, inspiring people to forge ahead.

Many soldiers looked up and saw a huge banner, embroidered with gold thread, shining brightly in the sun.

And under the big banner, surrounded by a tall and straight figure, that is the emperor.

The soldiers cheered, as if seeing the emperor waving at them, their morale burst instantly.

Following military orders one after another, the soldiers formed a huge military camp, and it took more than half an hour to barely complete it.

Jia Yan squinted his eyes, looked at the big glittering golden banner, thinking in his heart that he had seen the emperor.

At this time, the muffled sound of "rumbling" in the sky woke him up from his thoughts, and in his ears, it was like the muffled thunder brewing in the clouds in the distance.

I saw, at the end of the line of sight, a thick black line on the horizon, and a large herd of horses spread towards this side.

It seemed to be a sea wave, and the edge could not be seen at a glance.

He tightly held the firecracker in his hand, and the cold iron pipe seemed to be able to give him comfort.

As a low-level officer, the team leader, he can't move around, he can only obey the orders of his superiors, and now he can only wait in the queue without saying a word.

After waiting for a long time, Jia Yan only felt that his neck was a little sore, and the white snow disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, followed by the Eight Banners Army in armor.

Heavy infantry.

Today I finally saw Jian Nu.

Jia Yan sighed.

Being thin and tall also has advantages.

Daming's side was also crowded with people. Jia Yan looked up and saw that there were all iron helmets, and the spears not far away were like forests.

A large number of long guns carried by two people stood at the forefront, as if they had great deterrent power.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a gust of evil wind, and the flags on the army formation were blown "crackling".

Jia Yan and the others stood so that the soles of their feet were sore, and they did not dare to make the slightest movement.

Many people looked up, and on the city wall, the big banner was still there, just like a sea needle, waiting for him to give orders.

Zhu Yixi also saw the layout of the Qing army so carefully.

He saw Bai Xue transformed into a Qing army.

In front of the huge army formation, there are Qing heavy infantry in heavy armor.

The Jurchen heavy infantry actually belonged to the infantry that maneuvered on horseback. Each infantry was equipped with three horses.

Xu Guangqi once gave a specific introduction to the Eight Banners: "The soldiers of the Eight Banners wear chain mail inside, and a layer of cotton armor outside the middle iron armor. Even the horses wear heavy armor, and their helmets can cover their faces. Soldiers do no harm."

The thick armor almost hangs down to their feet, and the whole body is covered in the armor without leaking a single gap.

Moreover, they held muskets in their hands, and if nothing else happened, they were blunderbusses.

Soldiers and guns are arranged in three teams according to the flag, and musket infantry, 12 people in each line, are deployed on the front line.

The front is covered by antlers and spearmen, and on the left and right are formations of artillery and cavalry, whose front is almost entirely constructed of firearms.

What caught his attention even more was that in the rear of the army formation, the cannons in red clothes were particularly conspicuous, and their speed was naturally extremely slow.

"The Manchus were dragged down by artillery, so they were so slow."

Zhu Yixi said, with a heavy expression on his face.

On his side, it was still the same.

The carrying guns that were concealed and tucked in the past have been exposed openly today, and the scale has reached as many as [-].

The team is loose, with large gaps, showing a progressive pattern, which makes it easier for the guns in the back row to move forward, forming continuous firepower.

The seven-foot-long barrel and the firecrackers carried by the two men surprised the Qing army.

After raising the guns, there is a combination of all flintlock guns, about 20,000 people, dressed in armor, can act as musketeers or pikemen.

The top of the flintlock gun is equipped with a bayonet.

Then came the heavy armored infantry, who were responsible for fighting in the stalemate, thus forming a breakthrough.

For the central army, medium-sized artillery such as Fran cannons were used as cover.

The spearmen are arranged on the two wings, forming thick arms.

And considering this kind of war, the contact area is at most 30,000 people, so the Huai Navy, which is barely strong, will act as the rear army and carry out the battle.

In other words, the main force in this battle is still the Beijing camp.

In Jierhalang's eyes, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could only be the Eight Banners of the Manchus waving like arms, not the Eight Banners of Han and Mongolia.

The Han Eight Banners are slightly inferior to the Man Eight Banners, while the Meng Eight Banners are not very obedient and only want to preserve their strength.

Therefore, Jierhalang only trusts Man Ba ​​Banners.

On the high platform, looking at the lineup of the Ming army, Ji Erhalang focused his eyes on the raised gun and the artillery of the Chinese army, and immediately said:

"The key lies in the central army, and the weak point lies in the rear army."

"Years of hunting experience tell us that the bow and arrow should be shot at the place where the prey loses the most blood, not the place where the prey is killed."

"You mean, the rear of the Ming army is the place where blood is most likely to be lost."

Luke De's eyes were piercing, he stared at the former soldier and said: "Those two people with long spears, it seems that they are quite powerful."

"The former army is a hard rock."

Hauge also confided: "There is no gap between the left and right wings, and we can only attack the rear."

"It's very difficult for the army to back against the city."

Jierhalang stroked his beard and said.

"Difficult? In front of the Eight Banners athletes, there is nothing difficult in the world."
