The sun finally dispelled the fog. When he saw clearly the horse-repelling and deer antlers in front of the Ming army camp on the opposite hillside, Nurhaci's eyes were solemn. The three-win three-win victory in the front came too simple, and the next one was the real tough battle.

The Ming army was stationed on the mountain, and undoubtedly fell to death, but at the same time they avoided being surrounded and besieged. If you want to take down this Ming army, you can only fight to defeat them face to face. Of course, Nurhaci could also choose to use a large army to trap this Ming army to death, because the main force of the Ming army was gone, and no one could come to rescue the Ming army.

However, Li Rubai and the Korean army had already surrendered. The remaining warable soldiers of the Ming army in Liaodong were Malin's eight thousand chieftain soldiers. Nurhaci's ambitions expanded uncontrollably, and he wanted to take Shenyang.

The soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner were all gathered, and more than 7,000 soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner gathered. Then, the Jiala, composed of five Niulu, began to push the cart with shields to approach the hillside in front, and Manguertai personally supervised the battle behind.

Seeing the Jurchen soldiers coming all over the mountains and fields, the archers in Du Hongyuan's army were condescending and began to shoot arrows. Most of the arrows they used were supervised by the Ordnance Bureau of Hekou Fort, and the arrows were made of steel casting molds, rather than so-called fine iron.

Nearly a thousand archers shot neatly, and the generals of the Later Jin who were watching the formation at the foot of the mountain also changed their expressions. They have always used long bows and big arrows, but now they have experienced that there are archers who are not inferior to their Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty.

The servants of Camel City, who were in a good position, poured out arrows freely, but the Jurchen soldiers who were climbing the mountain were shielding and braved the rain of arrows. Even if their companions were constantly hit by arrows, they did not delay their speed of advancement.

"The Jurchen soldiers are indeed brave!"

"There are still fewer archers!"

Qi Jin and Du Hongyu looked at the foot of the mountain, and the Jurchen soldiers from the Zhenglan Banner were endless, with heavy expressions. Soon, the Jurchen soldiers who were leading the battle rushed to less than a hundred steps before resisting the red antlers. At this time, the Jurchen soldiers carrying bows and arrows began to fight back.

The servants of Camel City began to suffer casualties, and Du Hongyu decisively retreated them. These archers were all those servants who brought them out. Compared with the Jurchen soldiers who were not afraid of death, they lacked tenacious will.

Qi Jin asked the Zhejiang soldiers to take the combat positions left in the horses and deer antlers. At this time, the Jurchen soldiers who came to the camp abandoned their shields and fought with the Zhejiang soldiers.

The Jurchen soldiers who took the lead were the bravest armored men in the Zhenglan Banner. Most of the weapons they used were heavy weapons such as mobs, iron hammers, and axes. They directly faced the Zhejiang soldiers who stood in a formation and tried to directly defeat the Ming army who had the courage to fight with them, but they were greeted with the cold steel spear.

Even if Gao Jin made the converter steelmaking by craftsmen at Hekou Fort, he only made high-carbon steel with quality comparable to later generations of ground steel, its performance was still far beyond the so-called refined iron and most 100-year-old steelmaking. If it were a spear issued by the Ministry of Works of the Ming Dynasty, it would be afraid that the iron armor on the Jurchen soldiers would not be pierced at all, and it is very likely that the gun heads made of inferior pig iron would collapse directly.

During the collision of steel, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Facing the Zhejiang soldiers' spear formation, the Jurchen soldiers were not afraid at all. The way of fighting for injuries to exchange for life was extremely fierce, especially with hand axes and spears, they threw at close range with full power.

For a time, the casualties of the Zhejiang soldiers were also tragic. From the first moment of the battle, the two sides had a bloody battle. If Du Hongyu had not forced archers to find gaps behind the Zhejiang soldiers, even the Zhejiang soldiers might not have been able to withstand the fierce attack of the Jurchen soldiers.

Qi Jin did not dare to hold back anymore. All the Zhejiang soldiers were suppressed by him, losing obstacles such as resisting red deer antlers. It was impossible for the Zhejiang soldiers to form a spear alone to resist these Jurchen heavy armored infantry, unless the Zhejiang soldiers were also wearing heavy armored and held sharp edges like the infantry battalion of the Shuofang Army.

Manguertai pressed the soldiers of Zhenglan Banner one by one, and repeatedly tug-of-war with the Zhejiang soldiers on the front against red antlers. It was like a flesh-and-blood grinder. Even if he felt sorry for the consumption of his warriors, he had no intention of retreating at this time. Ama was behind him and looked at him. Today, he would destroy his Zhenglan Banner, and he would also break the turtle shell of the Ming army.

"Amin, take your troops up and let Manguertai's troops retreat and repair. You two take turns to attack, and you cannot give those Ming troops a chance to breathe."

Nurhaci watched the Ming army on the mountain resisting Mangurtai's fierce attack without any disadvantage. He immediately realized that the Ming army was extremely difficult to deal with. Their only weakness was that they had few soldiers and had to constantly consume them and they could not give them a chance to fix it again.

"Yes, khan."

Amin took the order and left. He was the owner of the Inlaid Blue Banner. As an outsider to the four major Bellerys, he was usually the most low-key, but his military achievements were no worse than those of the other three.

...

Seeing that thousands of soldiers attacked from the Later Jin army at the foot of the mountain, Du Hongyu was also full of bitterness. He thought that his more than 10,000 elite troops could be dragged to the old slave for a few days, at least so that the messenger could return to Shenyang City and let Yang Hao, the Liaodong governor, prepare for several more days, but who would have thought that the Jurchen soldiers were so brave that they would be brave enough to defeat the two flags of soldiers.

Qi Jin was no longer with Du Hongyuan. He personally went to supervise the battle. The Zhejiang soldiers who resisted the fierce attack of the Jurchen soldiers had no time to withdraw defense. They could only die in front and take the back. The Jurchen soldiers on the opposite side could still be rotated, but there were no exchangeable soldiers behind them. The five thousand new troops in Du Hongyuan could fill in loopholes and kill those Jurchen soldiers who had climbed over and resisted the antlers and fell into trenches, and it was enough not to let them be attacked from three sides.

The Zhejiang soldiers have never expected friendly troops. Qi Jin now only regrets that God has no eyes. If the gunpowder rope was not affected by the moisture and the bird gunners could fire, would these Jurchen soldiers wearing two layers of armor or iron armor be so difficult?

Zhejiang soldiers without firearms have at least 30% of the power of fighting in formation and can only be filled by life.

The soldiers with the blue flags finally came up to replace the soldiers of the Zhenglan flags, but the rotation time for this short moment was not enough for the Zhejiang soldiers to retreat and breathe. The always irritable Mangourtai also had a calm face this time and did not shout a bastard to let Amin get out of it. The tenacity and strength of the Ming army on the opposite side made him feel pressured. Just relying on his Zhenglan flag to break the defense of these Ming troops is no longer as simple as being crippled, but will be completely destroyed.

After stabbing the spear into the chest of the Jurchen soldiers on the opposite side, a gray-haired Zhejiang soldier was smashed open by a mace. There were many such tragic scenes on the battlefield. The corpses were covered with corpses, and the Zhejiang soldiers were almost exhausted, but the Jurchen soldiers on the opposite side were still coming one after another.

Qi Jin had no intention of going back alive, but seeing the old brothers under him fall down one by one, he felt sad and angry. It was a pleasure for a real man to wrap his body in a horse, but it was not worth it to work hard for such a court!

Du Hongyu was covered with horses all over his body. He knew in his heart that if the Zhejiang soldiers were exhausted, he would not be able to defend the camp at all. Just the Jurchen soldiers, who were fearless in the death, would not be able to withstand the five thousand new troops under his command.

"You have also seen the fighting power of the Donglu. Now we are in a state of death. If we want to die, there is only one way, that is, to take the old slave's original formation and kill the old slave's head. Then we will win this battle."

Du Hongyu is surrounded by the generals and servants of the various generals in the Camel City. The big bar at Nurhaci at the foot of the mountain stands there. They are on the hillside and occupy the advantage of the territory from a high place. This is also their only way to break the deadlock.

At this point, the leaders and servants knew that they were forced to death and wanted to survive, they could only listen to Du Hongyu.

With the cover of the battlefield of the front army, when Du Hongyu led the five thousand Camel City generals to launch a charge, Nurhaci at the foot of the mountain did not notice it for a while. It was not until Du Hongyu led the heavy armored cavalrymen from each family that personally took the arrows and rode out from behind the repelled deer antlers, and instantly dispersed the Lanqi troops blocking the road ahead and saw it clearly.

"What a decisive charge. General Du is indeed a famous general, a pity!"

Nurhaci sighed that the Ming cavalry was caught very accurately in charge, but this was their dying struggle. With Nurhaci waving his hand, Heihuanbore led his troops from the Zhengbai Banner to suddenly cover the army.

The captured Ming army chariots lie in front of Nurhaci's original formation, and then there were heavy infantry densely packed with yellow flags in front of the big flag. They were veterans of Nurhaci's hundreds of battles and the strongest combat power among the Eight Jurchen Banners.

Hei Huanli looked at the Ming army cavalry rushing towards him like a torrent on the hillside. The heavy cavalry that was rushing down from above was too terrifying, but he had no choice. Ama was behind him. If he could not stop these Ming army cavalry, how could he compete with other brothers for favor and seize the throne?

Because he was once the son-in-law of the Korqin tribe, there was no shortage of cavalry in the Zhengbai Banner, which was still booming, but at this time he did not have the courage to fight hard with the Ming cavalry, but he just let his soldiers be good at fighting and formations to resist in front of him. He had read the military books of the Han people, and he understood the principle of one thing falling, two falling, and three exhaustion.

Du Hongyu led a thousand armored cavalry, like a hammer hitting the formation of Zhengbai Banner, which almost instantly deformed the formation. However, his subordinates were not Xiao Gao's white horse cavalry and Beiwei Camp, so in the end, Du Hongyu and the one thousand armored cavalry did not break through the formation laid under the Zhengbai Banner, his fate was already decided.

On the hillside, the scattered Zhenglan Banner and the Inlaid Blue Banner regrouped almost as fast as possible. Manguertai decisively led his troops down the mountain to try to siege the Ming army's iron cavalry that was attacking his father's big flag. Amin silently led his subordinates to continue attacking the Ming army infantry who had been killed and injured in front of him. He could see that these people were the real iron ridges of this Ming army.

Qi Jin held the knife and looked at Du Hongyu, who was leading the cavalry to rush left and right at the foot of the mountain, trying to kill the old slave's flag. He suddenly looked back at the old brothers who were covered in armor and shouted, "Today, there are Zhejiang soldiers who died in battle, and there are no Zhejiang soldiers who surrender. Don't ask General Du to underestimate us."

With Qi Jin's roar, the remaining two thousand Zhejiang soldiers burst into laughter. No matter what formation or formation, as long as they still have the strength, they would thrust and wave their swords to gather towards the Qi-character flag. At this time, the remaining five thousand new troops under Du Hongyu were also shouting in the roar of the generals, and they would also rush to serve the generals to death, or to flow into the torrent of Zhejiang soldiers, or to take the horses and launch the charge first.

Seeing the dark smoke rising in the Ming army camp, the remaining remnants of the Ming army ignited the camp, and the infantry and cavalry rushed down, Nurhaci couldn't help but sigh, "If the Ming army is all such a brave warrior, I should ask to surrender to the Ming Kingdom."
