The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 212
After the formation of the Ming army was lined up, Ding Yi led two hundred archers between the two large formations. He did not ride a horse, but let the captain of the army Xiang Huailai lead him, because he did not want to be used as a target. , It’s still too late to ride and run.

"Call Xu Wei over here." Ding Yi said at this time.

The soldiers quickly called Xu Wei to him.

Ding Yi thought for a while, then slowly said: "Under normal circumstances, Houjin soldiers are more arrogant and confident, and will fight according to the positions we choose."

"But just in case, I mean just in case, in case they don't play where we've chosen and the odds are against us."

"I will order to return to Lushun at any time and give up here."

"When the time comes, your battalion will stand firm against me."

"Ensure that the entire army withdraws safely to Lushun, so as to preserve our foundation and territory."

Without hesitation, Xu Wei kowtowed immediately, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, my lord, even if the battle reaches the end of the battle, the 8th Battalion will not take a step back."

Ding Yi didn't say anything more, gently helped him up, and patted his shoulder.

Xu Wei turned around and left with a dignified and confident expression.

Zhao Dashan was standing next to Ding Yi, he was also holding a bow, he must be an archer, and he didn't have to fight hand-to-hand, it was safer.

"Dingtou, who do you think will be the main general in Houjin?"

Ding Yi thought for a while: "It was Mang Gurtai who broke Lushun last time. This man is very good at using troops and using his brain. If it is him, it will be more troublesome, and he may not follow our instructions."

"But this time the two white flags came, maybe Azig. It would be much better if Azig led the troops."

Azig thought he was talented, but his level was actually very average. When fighting, he relied more on his personal bravery.

Moreover, this person and Huang Taiji are not of the same mind, and may not be willing to work hard.

Ding Yi even vaguely felt that Azig came in no hurry this time and gave him enough time to prepare.

If it were Manggurtai, they might have quietly brought troops into Fuzhou at midnight, and then attacked the South Pass in the early morning of the next day with lightning speed.

If they fight like this, Ding Yi will definitely not have time to mobilize troops, and the South Pass will definitely be lost, so he can only stick to Lushun Pass.

But this time Azig came slowly.

A smile floated on the corner of Ding Yi's mouth, this guy can deal with him.

While Ding Yi was talking with the generals around him, soldiers and horses slowly appeared in the distance.

The first to appear were a few sentry cavalry from the Ming army. I saw them running frantically to this side, chasing a few post-golden cavalry behind. Seeing that the Ming army had already set up a battle here, the few post-golden soldiers did not chase He yelled and yelled from behind, as if mocking the Ming army cavalry and fleeing desperately.

Most of Zhang Jing's cavalry are now in the fort. He himself followed Ding Yi. Seeing it now, his face was flushed and he was very ashamed.

When his cavalry and Houjin soldiers met, they basically fled, and they would lose in a fight, which was very embarrassing.

"Let them be arrogant for a year or two, and our cavalry will definitely crush them in the future." Ding Yi comforted Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing couldn't do anything about it, mainly because there was no place for them to train soldiers, and cavalry was also very difficult to train, and it couldn't be done in a month or two: "Don't worry, my lord, we will train hard."

"Drilling is one aspect, and actual combat is another aspect." Ding Yi said: "When we have more cavalry, we can find others to practice first."

When they were talking, a large group of Mongolian cavalry appeared in front of them.

These cavalry are very good at riding. They can also shoot arrows while riding horses, which is better than that of Houjin soldiers.

After the Mongolian cavalry, there were three thousand Han troops, mostly infantry, and one thousand cavalry.

Then there are more than 1000 Ming people, pushing many shield chariots.

In the end, I saw the two white flag elites of the five Niulu.

With nearly 1 soldiers, Hou Jin quickly appeared opposite Ding Yi and the others.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was about five miles, and they could barely see the formation on the opposite side.

But Ding Yi's side is high, so it's clearer to see the other side.

The Hou Jin soldiers stopped at this moment, the men and horses separated to the two sides, and the two white flags behind them moved forward slowly.

The three brothers Azige, Duoduo, and Dorgon moved forward slowly side by side.

Dorgon was only then, and Duoduo was 16 years old, very young.

The three of them quickly came to the front of the formation, but they probably felt that they were still too far away. Azig waved his hand and ordered the whole army to move forward.

"Twelve Baylor, watch out for the cannons of Ming people." Li Yongfang came from the Han army with his son Li Sutai and reminded Azig.

"There's no Hongyi cannon here, so why panic? Even if there is, it's not easy to hit." Although Dorgon is young, he has already shown his edge. Compared with Duoduo and Azig, he looks more generous.

In fact, he paid more attention to Han people than Huang Taiji. He usually studied Han culture, made friends with Han officials, and had a good relationship with Han generals such as Li Yongfang. lay the foundation.

Azig nodded and signaled the army to move forward slowly, but the Mongolian army was still in the front, the Han army was in the middle, and the two white flags were behind.

Until two miles away, they also chose a hillside to stop.

The hillside was a bit high, and a few people could barely see the opposing army formation.

I saw that the Ming army's lineup was neat and orderly, and they didn't move a single bit. You could tell at a glance that they were elite soldiers and horses.

Dorgon's face immediately changed slightly: "Sure enough, he is an elite. This Ding Yi is very good at training soldiers."

Zaba followed behind, as the defeated soldier who had fought against Ding Yi twice, he was also called by Azig: "Master, Ding Yi is working insidiously, I think the Ming Dynasty will lead the army Among the generals, he is the most humble, the most shameless, and has no demeanor of a big country at all."

"Mingren still claims to be the king of heaven, this guy has completely humiliated Mingren."

Doduo also nodded approvingly.

"Soldiers, there is nothing wrong with tricks." Dorgon laughed.

Zabar was speechless for a moment.

"I'll go and have a look, don't move." Azig said suddenly.

"..." Everyone was speechless.

Drive, Azig rode his horse, and rushed out of the camp alone.

There was an uproar on Houjin's side, while the Ming army on the opposite side remained motionless.

It's summer right now, and the weather is still a bit hot today. When the cavalry came over, it was still a bit windy. Now that they stop, they will start sweating immediately. It's too hot.

People in iron armor are even more stuffy.

On the side of the Ming army, Ding Yi also discovered the problem. Fortunately, he was prepared and waved: "Replenish water."

All the Ming soldiers sat down one after another and drank water quickly, and leather bags filled with water were placed under their feet.

"It's moving, the Ming army is moving, I thought it was really a puppet that can't move. Hehe." Duoduo laughed.

The Azig cavalry arrived at the front of the formation, about a mile away from the Ming army, and then ran sideways left and right without approaching. It turned out that they were looking at the formation of the Ming army.

Immediately someone from the Ming army asked Ding Yi, "Do you want to fire the cannon?"

No, Ding Yi shook his head, this way he couldn't hit at all.

"What is he doing?" Zhao Dashan asked strangely.

"The terrain on his side is low, so he ran closer to see our formation." Ding Yi thought to himself, I have never heard of anyone who thinks about how wars have been fought in history.

It seems that Azig is not out of his mind either?

"Learn from others, don't fight blindly. Before doing it, look at the opponent's formation." Ding Yi took this opportunity to explain the truth to the generals.

Everyone nodded silently.

"Can he see the lines drawn by lime on our ground?" Zhang Jing asked.

"Of course I can't see it. It's so far away and the grass is so high on the ground." Zhao Dashan gave him a blank look.

"It's okay to see it, and he doesn't know what it means." Xiang Huailai interjected.

He didn't dare to interrupt before, but Zhao Dashan is his brother-in-law now.

Zhao Dashan chuckled and looked at him appreciatively.
