A glimmer of dawn just emerged in the east.

On the west bank of the Liao River, the fire had already shone like daylight. The Chu army's shrunks with tail flames passed through the night sky from time to time, and exploded in the air again and again above the terrified Qing army's head.

The water of the Liao River has been stained with blood. On the battlefield, the Zhenghuang Banner, the Inlaid Yellow Banner and the Zhenglan Banner are mixed together. Looking at the corpses everywhere, the surviving Qing army's Bayala Camp, Gabush Xian Camp, and Alihachaoha Camp's soldiers roared and waved their war horses, and rushed towards the Ming army desperately.

But even the most powerful Bayala soldiers could not rush into the Ming army's formation.

The three-layer thick armor could not stop the shroud bullets that kept popping up on their heads, nor could they stop the flintlock bullets that were tightly like a wave in front of them.

The Bayala Camp, Gabush Xian Camp, and the Aliha Chaoha Battalion, which were later in history, the Manchu Guards, the Forward Battalion and the Xiaoqi Camp, were formed at this time and were the absolute elite among the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army. Especially the Bayala Camp, there were only a few people in each Niulu.

At this time, the Manchus under Huangtaiji ruled the eight banners.

The smallest unit among the Eight Banners was Niulu. At first, there were three hundred households in Niulu, each household had a strong man. The father died and the son succeeded him, and the brother died and the younger brothers died. This was similar to the military household system of the Ming army. In the late Nurhaci period, the Later Jin system changed, Niulu gradually became no longer a military unit, but an administrative household registration unit.

Every time a troops were sent, several people were taken from each Niulu to form an army.

From these Niulu, we also chose the most capable warriors as Bayala soldiers and the vests as Aliha Chaoha soldiers.

The conventional military power of the Later Jin Dynasty was the armored people. These professional soldiers did not pay grain or farm, and they drew one out of three of the eight banners. One of the three people in Manzhou was selected for each Niulu Manzhou, and one Niulu was the constant.

These armored men are professional soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty. They do not cultivate or pay grain. However, they have their own fields. The fields are usually cultivated by coatings, and there are also money and grains to be distributed. Armored men are divided into three types: vests, stairs and stairs. Manchus conduct regular assessments. Those who pass the first time are city guards, and then they are promoted to stairs and stairs and stairs.

The most brave Bayala soldiers selected from each flag were concentrated and used. They were incorporated into the Bayala camp, which was only available in the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners. The Gabush Xian Camp was actually the vanguard camp of the Bayala camp, and the Alihachaoha camp was the direct cavalry battalion led by Gushan Ezhen of each flag.

Generally speaking, when the Qing army fought, each flag was dominated by these three battalions, and then the Baoyi Aha, the Han army, etc. were added.

Now, Huang Taiji is leading the three camps of 5,000 people composed of the upper three flag soldiers he personally led.

The rumbling sound of cannons on the battlefield made people tremble.

The Qing army was rushing around, trying to break out of a gap.

But under the light of artillery fire, the nine-headed bird led by Liu Jun had surrounded the Qing army from three sides. On the west were the two 10,000 soldiers and horses that took the lead in launching the attack. Leading by the Beiyang General Liu Yunsheng, a mountain howitzer array was built on the west side of the Qing army's camp and set up a gun array. The Qing army tried to break west and retreated several times and was beaten to the west. Then they gave up breaking west and retreated east.

The night in western Liaoning in November was already very cold. A thin layer of ice formed on the banks of the Liao River.

On the west bank of the Liao River, the Chu army was landing continuously. The two Chu troops of the two cooperatives were divided into two parts, landing at the north and south sides of the river bank east of the Qing army camp, and then it was like a large clamp to attack the Qing camp.

The Ming army was all in the west, south, north, and the Qing army could not even understand how many Ming army had arrived in the dark.

There is only one direction without Ming army. It is east.

But to the east is a wide Liao River. The river water is very deep and cold, with floating ice, but it cannot withstand the people crossing the river.

On the river, only Liu Jun personally took the navy's crew and his direct troops to wait on the ship for the arrival of the Qing army. The ship had already landed on the river center, and the artillery on the transport ship had already aimed at the shore.

More than 20,000 Ming troops attacked Huangtaiji and 5,000 Qing troops at night. Under normal circumstances, there was no chance of victory. The Qing army's fierceness was no problem with one against two, or even five against six. Especially such night attacks, it was still a three-sided siege, which was easy to break out by the Qing army, or even defeat each one, turning defeat into victory.

However, Liu Jun was not worried that the Chu army had sufficient firepower. The flintlock fire guns and short guns made the infantry's firepower very strong, and they could launch continuous firepower in a row. In particular, they also had many mountain grenades, which were used with shrapnel to deal with cavalry in the dark, which was very useful.

At this time, Kong Youde, who was standing behind Liu Jun, heard the voices getting closer and closer, and the Qing army was approaching the river bank. He remembered the palace in Shenyang half a year ago. At that time, Huang Taiji was sitting on the dragon throne in the Golden Palace in the palace, and was paying a lot of praise for the invasion that had penetrated thousands of miles into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty from last winter to the end of this spring. At that time, Huang Taiji was full of energy and boldness.

It seems that the entire Tianshan Mountain will conquer him.

But in just half a year, Huang Taiji was on the bank of the Liao River tonight. In the past decade, he had become the heart of the Qing Dynasty. He was ambushed by the Ming army and killed in a very embarrassing way.

The fierce Bayala soldiers could not break through the Ming army's artillery formation platoons.

The Eight Banners soldiers were indeed fierce, but Huang Taiji had only five thousand people around him at this time. He made a big mistake, but this mistake was caught by Liu Jiye.

Kong Youde is now impressed by the Ming army commander in front of him, and is truly impressed by him. Huang Taiji obviously still despised Liu Jun, and now he has to taste the bitter fruits of this despise.

After confronting Liu Jun for more than half a year, and then being bombarded by the besieged city in Gaizhou for half a month, Kong Youde had a very deep understanding of the Chu army led by Liu Jun.

Although this is a Ming army, it is not a traditional Ming army. It is different from any Ming official army.

The Qing army was running towards the bank of the Liao River, and also running towards death.

Geng Zhongming sighed as he heard the calls of the Qing army getting closer and closer in the night, "There is no thick ice in the river yet. Isn't they seeking death if they run here?"

Kong Youde looked back at him, "Do you think they wanted to run here? They were surrounded by the Chu army from three sides. We have tasted the power of the Chu army's guns and cannons, and now Huang Taiji has also received it."

When he talked about the name Huang Taiji, he even felt a little happy. When he was surrounded in Gaizhou, Huang Taiji had thought about their feelings, and had he sent a soldier and a soldier to help?

On the boat in the heart of the river, Liu Jun looked at the war horses on the west bank, and Fu Shan stood side by side with him.

"Can we win?" Fu Shan asked.

The current situation on the battlefield completely turned to the Chu army, but Fu Shan was a little unbelievable when facing such good news. The opposite side was not the ordinary thousands of Qing troops, but the most elite Eight Banners, especially among this army, Huang Taiji.

"The night gave us the best cover, and Huang Taiji had no idea how many people we came."

The Chu army's mountain durian must have created many confusions for Huang Taiji. When Liu Yunsheng quickly assembled hundreds of mountain durians and bombed them at the Qing army camp, Huang Taiji made a mistake. He misjudged that the large Ming army came from the west. Based on the number of artillery, there must be more than 10,000 people. He believed that it was the main force of the Ming army, so he ordered to run east.

Although the darkness also reduced the power of the Ming army's guns and cannons, in such a battle, the Ming army's guns and cannons rely on precision shooting, but on volleys, and on storm bombing.

"The Qing army missed the best chance to break through. If they rushed to the west from the beginning, there might be some chance. Now, they have been surrounded and have to withstand several attacks and cannot escape at all."

"We are surrounded!"

Huang Taiji held his injured arm and rode his horse, but there were dense guns and cannons on all sides. No matter how they ran, there were always many shells on their heads, and the shells that exploded in the air never stopped. No matter how brave the Bayala soldiers were, they could not help them facing these shells.

Huang Taiji felt extremely aggrieved and panic, and he was fighting an extremely difficult battle.

"Your Majesty, there is Liaohe in front of you!"

Abatai rushed back from the front and reported another bad news.

The Liao River is deep and difficult to swim. Although it is winter, there is only ice floating on the river. If you have to wait until the ice is thick, you can cross the river. At least you have to wait for about ten days and half a month.

We have tried it to the south and north. Both sides are Ming troops, and there are still countless artillery and continuous platoons. Every time we get close, we will be knocked down. There is no way to see how many Ming troops there are opposite in the dark.

In the end, they only had no interceptors in the east, so they ran all the way to the east. Now, Liaohe stopped them.

"This is the trap of the Ming army, and we deliberately drove us to this dead end." Fan Wencheng, who had lost his hat when he ran away, was extremely embarrassed and shouted in panic.

Four 20,000 Ming troops from the west, south and north are approaching step by step, further compressing the space of the Qing army.

In the middle of the night, the sky gradually became brighter.

Huang Taiji and others were trapped by the river. After a rough check, they found that more than 1,000 soldiers and horses had died, and at this time there were only more than 3,000 people left on the river bank.

Many people were also injured.

At this time, Huang Taiji was finally able to see clearly the Ming army besieged them. The number was beyond his imagination, not too many, but less than imagined.

It seems that the Ming army attacked them at night was only about 20,000.

When Huang Taiji thought of how embarrassed he was by 20,000 Ming troops last night, he was both ashamed and angry.

After his anger, the panic in his heart decreased a lot, and he developed a lot of confidence.

Only 20,000 Ming troops wanted to trap him.

The horn sounded, whimpering, low and long, like the north wind blowing from the north. Huang Taiji rode on his horse, holding his long sword high.

Fight to the death.

As the horns gradually subsided, waves of roars filled the entire battlefield.

The Qing army began to break through the siege to the north, and they chose to break through to the north.

The war horse began to trot and accelerate, gradually speeding up, and galloped quickly.

In front of them, Zhang Guodong stood in front of the formation, watching the Qing army roaring, and Zhang Guodong felt a burst of blood surge.

He drew out his matching sword, which was a sword given to him by Liu Jun. (To be continued.)
