The auxiliary soldiers who could not enter the chariot formation cursed, but Xiong Tingbi was just as heartless as stone. He did not let go of a single road and let them in, but watched the Later Jin cavalry chase and kill the auxiliary soldiers.

In fact, Xiong Tingbi had long discovered that the Later Jin army was preparing to attack his retreat, so after the Later Jin army surrounded him, he began to arrange a chariot formation. As for the auxiliary soldiers who were thrown behind and given to the Later Jin cavalry to kill, they were just cannon fodders used to sacrifice. With the sacrifice of these cannon fodders, they had time to arrange a circular chariot formation.

In fact, Xiong Tingbi now has less than 25,000 combat troops. Because Zu Dashou led the Jingdong Army to run away, he reduced 3,000 cavalry at once. Xiong Tingbi knew that he could only rely on the chariot formation to defend, and even if he won, he could not expand the results. So he was ready for a protracted battle with the Later Jin army.

The heavy cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty knew that the cavalry was rushing to death, so they retreated and scattered along the two wings of their heavy infantry, and arranged the formation on the two wings of the heavy infantry.

Just as the Jin Chong infantry was full of confidence and was about to launch an attack on the Ming army's chariot formation, the order from the messenger came from behind: "No one should attack rashly, stand by on standby to prevent Mingdo from escaping!"

Huang Taiji is worthy of being a hero of a generation. He knew that even if he could win the formation of Xiong Tingbi's elite heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, the Later Jin army would suffer heavy casualties. There were not many Jurchen men in Jianzhou, and one less loss was lost. Therefore, in Huang Taiji's eyes, the life of every Jianzhou Jurchen soldier was very precious.

"Master, why don't you order an attack?" Kakduli asked.

Huang Taiji smiled kindly: "There is no need. When the father Khan's army arrives, the coated shield cart will advance, which can reduce the losses of our Dajin Warriors."

When Mangurtai saw his eighth brother coming, he did not attack the Ming army, but instead distanced himself from the Ming army. He rushed forward anxiously: "Why haven't the eighth brother attacked?"

"Fifth brother, even heavy cavalry cannot attack the neatly arranged infantry formation, let alone the chariot formation. Using light cavalry to attack the spear formation, I'm afraid that this kind of thing will only be done if you get hot, right?" Huang Taiji said with a smile.

Mangourtai was so embarrassed that his face was flushed and could not refute.

Gao Shixin's vanguard battalion had already met with Xiong Tingbi's central army, and the vehicles in the vanguard battalion were all relatively short Francisco. Xiong Tingbi ordered the vanguard battalion to open a passage, allowing the vanguard battalion to enter the vanguard formation. When the vanguard battalion's vanguard cannon vehicles and long-range troops entered the vanguard formation, the spearmen and sword players guarded the periphery, protecting their comrades safely into the vanguard formation, and preventing the Later Jin cavalry from taking the opportunity to attack the vanguard.

When all the comrades entered the chariot formation, the spearmen and sword players finally entered the chariot formation.

Huang Taiji did not move, and the Ming army did not move, and the two sides confronted each other in the wilderness. The sky gradually became dark, and bonfires were lit inside and outside the car formation. Except for some of the Ming army on duty at night, the rest fell asleep peacefully and took enough energy to wait for tomorrow's fierce battle.

The Later Jin army, which was confronting the Ming army, also rested, and lit a bunch of bonfires in the wild. The Later Jin army asked the horses to squat down to cover the cold wind for their soldiers. The Later Jin Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and Korqin Mongolian soldiers gathered around the bonfire to keep warm.

In the Ming army's chariot formation, Xiong Tingbi called Gao Shixin to sit opposite him and drink some old warm-up body together. The two sat face to face, looking like they were two fathers.

"Gaobaihu, your soldiers are indeed fighting well. It's a pity that there are too few soldiers. Don't be afraid that you are just a guerrilla now. I believe that after fighting this battle, the credit will be reported to the court. You may be a general or even a deputy general! At that time, you will definitely not be enough. I will teach you a move. If you have seen veterans leading new soldiers, why are veterans long? One veteran can lead nine people, so the number of people can be expanded. Your spear soldiers are very well trained, not inferior to the white-rod soldiers at all!" Xiong Tingbi said.

The spear of the White Rod Soldier is actually a hook and sickle spear, but there are iron rings at the end of the spear, which can be connected together to climb a cliff. During combat, the iron ring at the tail can also be used as an iron hammer to break the armor.

Gao Shixin's spear was not that many functions, so flag guns and axe guns were mixed into the spear array, and the axe guns were used to break armor.

"Xiong Zhengluo, the last scouts have discovered that the Jiannu army has 30,000, including more than 10,000 Khorchin Mongols, and the remaining 20,000 are fierce real slaves." Gao Shixin said.

Xiong Tingbi laughed: "Do you think the 30,000 Jiannu are afraid of them? I should arrive tomorrow morning! Young man, then see how I defeat the enemy!"

The two talked for a long time. Through the conversation, Gao Shixin knew that his command ability and ability to arrange troops were really far inferior to Xiong Tingbi. In history, Xiong Tingbi adopted a defensive stance to deal with the Later Jin Dynasty, but it did not mean that Xiong Tingbi was not able to fight in the field. When Xiong Tingbi was in Liaodong, he fought against the Later Jin army several times and won the field battle. He adopted a defensive stance just for strategic needs. Although Xiong Tingbi had the ability to win in the field, the Later Jin war horses were more mobile, while Xiong Tingbi was mostly infantry and chariot soldiers, and his mobility was definitely far inferior to that of the Later Jin Dynasty. If an offensive was adopted, the Later Jin could take advantage of the strong power, and instead plagiarized the rear of the Ming army, plundered the villages and captured the cities, and obtained the supplies they needed.

In fact, it proved that Xiong Tingbi's strong walls and cleared the fields, and fortresses, and cut off the trade of the Later Jin Dynasty was very effective. If it weren't for the party struggles, if Xiong Tingbi had another two years, he would definitely be pacified Liao! This is much more realistic than someone's five years of pacified Liao.

Xiong Tingbi is not only powerful in strategy, but also in field battles. If he does not have field combat capabilities, how can he repair the fortress destroyed by the Later Jin army? If you repair the fortress there, will the Later Jin army honestly ask you to repair it? It will definitely harass you, so you need to repel them in order to repair the fortress.

Before dawn, Xiong Tingbi began to arrange troops.

Gao Shixin discovered that in Xiong Tingbi's army, the long-range firepower was mainly crossbows and turtledove guns, which was the same as Gao Shixin. After all, the quality of the Ming army's bird guns was too poor, and no one dared to use them. Moreover, even if the Ming army's bird gun was an excellent bird gun, it was still insufficient with sufficient gunpowder. Because the Japanese iron cannon imitated by the Ming army's bird guns, the Japanese iron cannon was originally loaded with relatively small amounts of medicine, and its penetration was far less than that of the heavy convex guns in the West.

In addition to crossbows and turtledove guns, Xiong Tingbi's army also has a large number of light Franchise aircraft, as well as medium-sized artillery such as general artillery and turtle-killing cannons, which can be said to be quite powerful in firepower.

Like Gao Shixin, Xiong Tingbi also listed the short-range attack unit when he fired within five steps. The power of the three-eyed gun was still good. However, the three-eyed gun had a very low hit rate if it exceeded ten steps; if it exceeded twenty steps, even if it hit, it would not be able to penetrate the armor of the Later Jin.

"Young man, wait. I expect that the old slave will arrive today! When the old slave comes, there will be a fierce battle!" Xiong Tingbi smiled while touching his beard.

Gao Shixin asked: "Jinlu Xiong, if Jiannu besieged our chariot formation for a long time, then wouldn't we be trapped here? There is another question: our main army is in the wild. What should Jiannu do if he sends some troops to entangle our army and another group of troops to attack our city?"
