Chongzhen 14th May [-]th.

The weather on this day was very good, the fiery red sun rose early in the morning, the sky was blue, and there was not a single cloud to be seen. No one could have imagined that the biggest fight in the history of Liaodong was about to begin.

When the army set off, Chen Xinjia always had a smile on his face. His emotions infected the people around him. Everyone was full of confidence. Zi rushed to the north of Liaohe.

This kind of confidence mainly comes from the fight the day before, killing more than 300 Tartars, and it was a field battle. This kind of victory is enough to support strong confidence and make Chen Xinjia have a strong determination.

The fight came when Chen Xinjia was caught off guard.

The army had been marching for more than an hour, and it was not far from Guangning City. At this time, when the scout in charge of the investigation came to report, his face turned pale, saying that a large number of Houjin tartars had been found ahead, and the number of them was temporarily Unable to estimate.

Chen Xinjia wasn't very panicked. Now that he met a large number of Tartars, it meant that the Tartars didn't want to defend the city anymore. They were fighting with the army in the wild. Orders were issued one after another. The Shenji Battalion quickly made preparations, and the artillery was always ready Launched.

When the overwhelming Tartars rushed over, Chen Xinjia, who was watching with a telescope, trembled. At this moment, he faintly felt something bad, why there were so many Tartars.

The artillery began to roar, and with the sound of explosions, the formation of the charging Tartars suddenly became a little chaotic, and some horses and Tartars were even directly blown away, but the artillery could not stop the charging of the Tartars.A large number of arrow rains began to appear above the army, and there were also many sergeants in the army, who were shot by the arrow rain and fell to the ground in pain.

When cavalry fights, the focus is on momentum, that is, the momentum when charging.When two armies confront each other, whoever can overwhelm the other will basically win. Chen Xinjia knows this, and Zu Dale, Zu Dabi and others are even more aware of it. When the artillery starts to roar, they also do their best. Ready to charge, even though there are countless arrows flying over.

Chen Xinjia finally gave the order to charge.

Zu Dale charged from the front, his eyes were red.Shouting and rushing towards the Houjin Tazi, the sound of rumbling drums, accompanied by the roaring artillery, shook the earth.

The two torrents collided together in an instant. At this time, no sound of drums or cannons could cover up the huge impact, including the screams of the sergeants.

Huang Taiji also observed all this with a telescope.Fan Wencheng on the side noticed that Huang Taiji's body was also trembling slightly.Tony had already led the army, and made a detour towards the rear of the Ming army. It is said that the battle was going on normally, so why did Huang Taiji's body tremble slightly.

After a while, Huang Taiji put down the binoculars.

"Wen Cheng, I finally met Su Tiancheng."

"Your Majesty, the slave didn't understand."

"Daming's frontier army in Liaodong, I have fought with them many times before, and I have never shown such a strong fighting power. This is definitely not due to Chen Xinjia. Su Tiancheng went to Liaodong. In just one year, the Daming frontier army has become like this It's so powerful, I really didn't expect it, I think we still have to find a way to deal with that Su Tiancheng, this person is the biggest threat to our Qing Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that the Ming army will suffer a devastating blow today. Even if Su Tiancheng rushes to Liaodong, it is impossible to save the overall situation."

Huang Taiji nodded and looked forward.

"I don't know what's going on with the fourteenth brother. The news hasn't come yet."

10 frontier troops, [-] post-Gold Tartars, and [-] people fighting. This kind of scene, bloody and shocking, is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The fighting between the two sides soon reached a fever pitch. The top has a slight advantage, but it is difficult for the Shenji Battalion to start a fight, and they have to protect the artillery, because the barrel of the gun is hot after a long time of firing, and the barrel may explode if it continues to fire, so they have to stop. The army and the Tartars had already been suppressed and killed together. At this time, the artillery could not be fired at will.

The brave cavalry of the Eight Banners is a common understanding of everyone. On the one hand, it is because the place where Hou Jin lived was cold and barren, and most of them relied on hunting to survive. A good body, but this is not enough to make the cavalry so powerful, the key is the bravery of the generals, one general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted, starting from Nurhachi, all the way to Huang Taiji, there are countless brave generals in Houjin. In this regard, Ming Dynasty is lacking in advantages.

To be honest, there is indeed a gap between the fighting power of the Ming Dynasty border army and the Houjin Tartars. Apart from the Jiangning battalion, the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty is the frontier army. In any case, the frontier army has been in Liaodong and the border for a long time, all the time. They are all in a fighting state. Compared with the average guard army, they are too strong. Unfortunately, they have been suppressed by the Houjin Tartars for a long time. The frontier army has an inexplicable fear of the Houjin Tartars, which can be brought out. Why, after forming the Jiangning Camp, did Su Tiancheng expend countless efforts and desperately train the soldiers, and even adopted the most brutal field survival training method in the modern army to polish the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp.

It's a pity that Su Tiancheng's time in Liaodong was too short. He originally thought that he would thoroughly polish the frontier army as well.

Although the artillery caused huge damage to the Hou Jin Tartars, and even destroyed the momentum of the Hou Jin Tartars to a certain extent, making the frontier army no less than the Hou Jin Tartars in terms of momentum, the combat effectiveness of both sides , there are some gaps, unless the frontier army has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, otherwise the final result of such a fight is predictable.

An hour passed, and Chen Xinjia's face turned livid.

The army was obviously at a disadvantage. The Houjin Tartars who participated in the attack this time were not in the thousands, but the number of the Tartars who charged and fought was at least tens of thousands. Chen Xinjia knew that this was the Houjin Tartars. The main force.

Seeing that the army was gradually unable to support it, the artillery was fired several times, and the Golden Tartars were thrown off their feet after the bombing, but this could not change the reality of the army's failure.

Tang Haitai beside Chen Xinjia's face began to turn pale. If the army was completely defeated, he knew very well what would happen. He might be captured alive by the Houjin Tartars. The best way now is to retreat as soon as possible. , here is not too far away from Yizhou, and retreat to Yizhou desperately, so that we can rely on the [-] soldiers stationed in Yizhou, relying on the city of Yizhou, and reluctantly persist. I can't keep it anymore, so I'm still talking about the magic camp.

Mustering up his courage, Tang Haitai finally spoke.

"Commander, the Tartars are powerful, I think it's better to retreat temporarily."

Just as Tang Haitai finished speaking, Zu Dabi rushed over with his face covered in blood.

"Commander, the number of Tartars is too large, the brothers will be unable to resist, retreat quickly, otherwise they will be surrounded by Tartars, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Chen Xinjia's body trembled for a moment. At this moment, he thought that if the Houjin Tartars split into two groups and encircled the front and back, the army would be completely wiped out. Not to mention the many soldiers, he might be killed by the Houjin Tartars captured alive.

"Order the soldiers in front to resist for more than half an hour. The army is ready to retreat. With the fastest speed, retreat to Yizhou, join Qian Qianyi and Zu Dashou, rely on Yizhou, and resist the attack of the Houjin Tartars. . .”

Before Chen Xinjia finished speaking, a cannon rang out, and he looked around in surprise, not knowing what happened.

A messenger scrambled to the tent of the Chinese army.

"Commander, it's not good, there are countless post-gold Tartars behind the army..."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Chen Xinjia's face began to turn pale. At this time, he finally understood that it was not that the Houjin Tartars were unprepared, but that their appetite was very large, surprisingly large, and their goal was the entire conquest army. The army that intends to wipe out the conquest can easily take down Heishan, Yizhou, and even defeat the small group of Tartars. All of this was planned in advance. When Zu Dashou raised doubts, he reprimanded him mercilessly , and left Zu Dashou in Yizhou. Now, everything has come true. The [-] army was surrounded by the Houjin Tartars. At this time, unless a miracle happens, the army will be completely wiped out. fiasco.

Chen Xinjia felt his throat sour and could not speak.

At this time, Zu Dabi became sober instead.

"Commander, the Houjin Tartars have been plotting for a long time, and they want to wipe out our army. Hmph, with such a big appetite, it's not that easy. My subordinates suggest that the commander-in-chief withdraw first, and the subordinates take the brothers. Resist desperately and fight a bloody path..."

Before Zu Dabi finished speaking, Tang Haitai spoke impatiently.

"What General Zu said is right, the commander-in-chief retreats first."

Chen Xinjia shook his head.

"This commander will not withdraw first, many soldiers are still fighting, this commander will never leave the soldiers and retreat alone..."

Tang Haitai's face turned pale in a hurry. He knew very well that at this time, a one-minute delay would be very dangerous. The Houjin Tatars had already attacked from front to back, and the frontier army had little time to resist, no more than half At this hour, the army will inevitably be defeated. At that time, even thinking about retreating, there is no chance.

In desperation, Tang Haitai gave an order directly, asking the two thousand soldiers guarding the tent of the Chinese Army to retreat, guarding Chen Xinjia, without the slightest hesitation. The direction of retreat was naturally towards Yizhou.

Chen Xinjia, who was forcibly carried onto the horse by his own soldiers, burst into tears in two lines.

"I am a sinner of Ming Dynasty, I am a sinner of Ming Dynasty, Mr. Su, I know I was wrong. If you had commanded the army back then, such a situation would never have happened, a hundred thousand troops..." (To be continued ..)
