"Mao Chenglu!"

"The humble position is here!"

"Take this letter and go see Li Jong. Tell him that if he doesn't follow my instructions, I'll destroy his palace!"

"Geng Zhongming!"

"The humble position is here!"

"Take this letter and go to Yehe tribe and ask Buerhanggu whether he wants his brother Buyanggu's curse before his death to come true!"

Chapter 273 Battle, Yizhou!

On April 26, the two guards of Yingzhou arrived at the headquarters of the Doyan tribe and took over the leadership of the Doyan tribe from Ligdan Khan. Then Ligdan Khan personally led 30,000 Mongolian troops and marched towards Naiman.

On April 27, Zu Dashou led the vanguard troops and arrived safely in Jinzhou.

On April 28, Zhu Youxiao and Sun Chengzong also rushed to Jinzhou with the central army.

After two days of rest, the right and central armies advanced towards the Jurchen border.

At the same time, Yizhou City!

Several fast horses rushed into the city at a high speed, and then the cavalry on horseback shouted loudly to the people around them.

"Close the city gate quickly!"

"Prepare for war!"

Before the soldiers guarding the city could react, these cavalrymen had already rushed towards the government office.

The yamen was a relic of the Ming army. After the Jiannu invaded Zhixi Prefecture, it naturally became the office of the garrison commander.

At the gate of the yamen, a cavalryman jumped off his horse and rushed in, crawling forward.

"Lord Beile, it's bad. The Ming army is already ten miles outside the city. They will be at the gates of the city in an hour at most!"

In the study, upon hearing the news, Daishan stood up suddenly and asked with a serious face.

"How many troops does the Ming army have!"

"Who is the leader of the troops?"

The soldier quickly replied, "About 50,000 troops, led by a minister of the Liaodong governor of the Ming army!"

Daishan's heart instantly rose to his throat.

The total number of the Zhenghong Banner under his command and the Xianghong Banner under his son Yuetuo was no more than 10,000 people. Even if the Mongolian and Han slave soldiers in the city were included, there were less than 30,000 people.

If he were a Han Chinese, using these troops to defend the city would be enough to deal with 50,000 enemy troops.

But he is not!

The Jurchens were not good at defending cities. In this regard, they were not even as good as the Mongols!

After thinking it over again and again, he quickly made a decision.

"Pass the order down, go out of the city to fight!"

He didn't even leave a single soldier to guard the city!

Just half an hour later, an army of more than 20,000 people had formed a battle formation outside the city.

But no matter how long they waited, there was still no sign of the Ming army.

Just then, a scout came back from the front.

"Report!"

"Lord Beile, the Ming army has stopped three miles away!"

Three miles?

Daishan looked back at the top of the city wall and quickly understood the reason.

Those were the four cannons left behind by the Ming army when it was defeated, and their range was exactly three miles!

not good!

Three miles!

The Ming army will not just stop!

Thinking of this, his heart tightened.

He now has only three choices.

One is to abandon Yizhou and lead the army back to Shenyang.

The second is to retreat back into the city and wait for the Ming army to attack.

The third is to take the initiative and not give the Ming army a chance to rest.

In short, staying outside the city is absolutely not an option!

The cannons on the city wall can fire three miles away.

This means that the Ming army’s artillery can also hit them under the city!

If we wait here any longer, we will become a sitting duck for the Ming army!

So he waved his long sword and gave orders to the people around him.

"Everyone, kill them!"

It is impossible to give up Yizhou, Huang Taiji will definitely use this excuse to cause trouble for himself.

So, you can only charge!

Eight thousand cavalrymen galloped wildly, and the sound echoed in the wilderness.

The little bit of snow remaining on the ground instantly turned into snow mist, which was thrown up by the horses' hooves and enveloped the entire army.

Behind the cavalry were more than 10,000 infantry consisting of the two red flags and Mongolian and Han slave soldiers.

Invincible!

This is the confidence that gave Daishan the courage to leave the city.

Three miles of distance only took a few minutes for the cavalry to gallop.

But just when Daishan saw the outline of the Ming army, he suddenly heard a strange whistle coming from above his head.

"biu........"

"biu........"

"biu........"

He subconsciously looked up at the sky, only to see a large black spot rapidly enlarging in his sight!

Cannonballs?

But why did the Ming army fire the shells so high?

He was very confused!

In his understanding, the Ming army's artillery relied on rolling after landing to cause damage.

If a shell falls from such a high place, it will probably be embedded directly in the soil, right?

What's the use of that?

But the next moment!

"boom!"

The first shell fell among the cavalry.

As the flames rose, countless fragments splashed out instantly, followed by the screams of cavalry and horses.

The direct killing power of the artillery shells is not great, after all, there are gaps between the cavalry.

However, the scene and sound produced by the explosion of the shells, as well as the fragments flying everywhere, caused all the horses near the impact point to lose control!

Even in order to prevent the war horses from being startled by the Ming army's muskets, their ears were all blocked.

But in this case, the little cotton in the horse's ears is just a decoration!

Then came the second one, the third one...

In one round of volleys, a total of one hundred shells fell into the Jiannu cavalry one after another.

Once the cavalry is in chaos, they are more terrifying than the infantry!

The frightened war horses rushed around in the team, completely losing their minds.

Their collision also frightened the other war horses!

No matter how hard the cavalry on horseback whipped, it was of no use.

After seeing this scene, Daishan, who was originally full of confidence, was completely numb!

He stared in amazement at the chaotic cavalry army behind him, having never expected such an outcome!

Even Wang Zhichen in the Ming army camp was frightened by such a scene!

"Oh my god! This mortar is so terrifying!"

But he quickly realized that now was not the time to be in a daze!

The enemy is in chaos, now is the time to charge!

He jumped on his horse, drew out his long sword with a clang, and pointed it at the Jurchen cavalry.

"My Ming Dynasty will win!"

The left wing army consisted of three guards, with a total of less than 5,000 cavalry.

At this moment, five thousand cavalrymen responded loudly at the same time.

"Great Ming, long-lasting victory!"

When the voice fell, Wang Zhichen shouted again.

"Soldiers, follow me to kill the slaves!"

Then he squeezed the horse's belly hard and rushed forward first.

On the other side, Zhou Xuan was about to order a second round of artillery fire, but when he saw this scene, he immediately sat on the ammunition box cursing.

"Stop the shelling!"

"Damn it! I haven't fired enough cannons yet!"

"What kind of urgency is this, Admiral Wang?"

When marching and fighting, the most feared thing is the camp bombing!

At this moment, the Jiannu cavalry is in a state of bombing!

Hundreds of artillery shells landed in the front middle of the Jiannu cavalry. The eight thousand cavalrymen were in complete chaos!

The camp exploded!

A large number of frightened horses, after knocking over their companions, rushed out of the army formation and galloped in any direction.

In this situation, facing the charge of Wang Zhichen, Daishan knew very well what the outcome would be.

So he turned his horse around and shouted at his men around him at the top of his lungs.

"withdraw!"

"The whole army retreats!"

"Retreat to Shenyang!"

But the defeat was disastrous!

Want to withdraw?

It’s not that easy!
