With the red flag, about 4 Niulu's main force went out to fight, and 6,700 auxiliary troops formed a large black mass, quickly gathering towards the open space outside the camp gate.

To the south, the Ming army's formation has advanced to within one mile, forming a "pin" shape, forming three brilliant red square formations.

At the front, a large flag with the word "Zhang" fluttering in the gentle sea breeze.

The Ming army's formation had been firmly established and they were gradually advancing forward. Yue Tuo did not dare to neglect and quickly ordered his minions to form a formation.

The cavalry formation requires more space and more time because of the horses.

Yue Tuo originally thought that the Ming army was just bluffing this time, but when he saw that the Ming army's battle formation had advanced dozens of steps, he realized that something was wrong and shouted at his minions to quickly form their formation.

After the Ming army had advanced another fifty or sixty steps, the formation was finally completed on the red flag side. A line of tall, dark cavalrymen looked down at the direction of the Ming army.

At this time, the two armies were only less than 400 steps apart.

In such a short distance, the cavalry can no longer reach the maximum acceleration, and the impact force will be greatly reduced. On the Ming army's side, the battle formation is tight, and the Jin army does not dare to rush into the formation rashly. As a result, in the overall situation, the Ming army has already

Maintained the initiative.

Although Zhang Pan was impatient, he also understood that even if they had the initiative, it was still unrealistic for the Ming infantry to take the initiative to attack the Houjin cavalry. He immediately stopped the battle formation and formed a confrontation with Yue Tuo's troops.

attitude.

From such a close distance, one can clearly see the opponent's face. Although no big moves can be made in the overall situation, the scolding battle between the two sides has already begun.

After several days of scolding, the Ming army had already gone smoothly and was soon on track. The eighteenth generation of Yue Tuo's ancestors was tied to the stone again...

Not to be outdone, the side of Xianghongqi came into battle in Chinese, Manchu and Mongolian, speaking at the top of their lungs to fight back against the Ming army.

Li Yuanqing stood in front of the Changsheng Camp battle formation. His thoughts were not affected by the noise at the moment, and he carefully observed the situation in front of him.

The formation of Zhang Pan's headquarters is basically modeled after the Changsheng Camp. Although it looks rigorous from a distance, from Li Yuanqing's perspective, many loopholes can be clearly seen.

The first thing that bears the brunt of this is that the soldiers have no queue awareness, and even the grassroots officers at all levels do not know how to maintain the basic rhythm of the battle formation.

On the other side, Chen Zhongbu had had a period of "military training" with Li Yuanqing before. Although it was also messy, the rhythm was much better.

At least the officers know where each unit should stand and use points to lead the way.

But under this situation, the overall formation of the three divisions has already established a rhythm and supports each other. Zhang Pan's division is prominent. As long as Yue Tuo dares to charge into the formation, what awaits him is a solid fishing net.

"General, there aren't many people in Yue Tuo's tribe. Maybe we don't have to waste so much time with them. Keep pushing forward. Force them to rush forward." Guan Canghai said in a low voice.

Duan Xiliang also said: "General, I feel that Yue Tuo is just trying to hold on. With such a small number of people, there is nothing we can do against him. Just go ahead and do it with him."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Yue Tuo doesn't dare to do it. He is not stupid. Huang Guoshan."

"My humble duty is here." Huang Guoshan responded quickly.

"Go and notify Zhang Pan and keep pushing forward. Don't be anxious, just push a hundred steps first."

"Yes." Huang Guoshan quickly informed his soldiers to go to Zhang Pan's department to summon him.

Guan Canghai also understood what Li Yuanqing meant and couldn't help laughing: "General, you want to herd sheep?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Young men need merit."

Soon, Zhang Pan's troops took the lead to advance forward, followed by Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong. The Ming army's battle formation continued to advance, squeezing the living space of the Xianghongqi troops.

…………

Opposite him, Yue Tuo stared at the three red patches in front of him, his face so gloomy that he was about to shed tears.

In fact, to this extent, he was unwilling to fight against the Ming army again. Although Yue Tuo's Xianghongqi suffered no casualties in the previous siege battle, in the battle of Jinzhou, the whole city was looted, but Xianghongqi lost its vitality.

Serious injury.

In addition, in order to prepare for the sneak attack of the Ming army, the main force of the red flag had been scattered to various fortresses in southern Liaoning. At this time, Yue Tuo did not have enough troops to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army.

But being forced by the Ming army in this way, it was hard for him to explain to all parties in terms of love and dignity.

But if you want to charge hard, you will look like three hedgehogs in front of you, which is definitely unwise.

"These despicable Chinese dogs." Yue Tuo spat harshly, but there was not much he could do at the moment.

…………

The Ming army continued to advance, and the distance between the two sides was less than 100 steps.

At this distance, the cavalry could no longer launch an effective attack. In fact, the Red Flag Division had completely lost the initiative to attack.

In response to this, the Ming army's side cheered thunderously, yelled and shouted, and laughed louder and louder. On the side with the red flag, even the morale of the soldiers scolding the formation suddenly dropped a lot.

"Sir, Ming Gou is too powerful. Let's take a step back first. After we mobilize our troops, we will teach these Ming Gou a lesson." A close servant said to Yue Tuo cautiously.

Yue Tuo sneered slightly, "Why are you panicking? If the dog has no horse, will they fly over? Don't worry, wait a moment."

The slave wanted to say something else, but after seeing Yue Tuo's face, he had no choice but to shut up.

Soon, the Ming army had advanced to 150 and 100 steps.

Both sides can already see each other's faces clearly, and the yelling and cursing can be heard clearly.

Some Houjin soldiers with strong arms had already started shooting arrows at the Ming army. Unfortunately, 100 steps was still too far, and the wind on the seaside was very strong, so it was difficult for the arrows to gain force. After flying seventy or eighty steps, they fell to the ground.

It has since become the laughing stock of the Ming army.

"Sir, we are about to reach Ming Gouzi's shooting range. We can't hesitate any longer." The servant hurriedly persuaded Yue Tuo.

Yue Tuo suddenly smiled and said, "Retreat. Give the camp to them."

After saying that, Yue Tuo took the lead in turning the horse's head and driving quickly behind him.

The slave was stunned for a moment and understood what Yue Tuo meant. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and let these smart dogs go to the camp.

Soon, nearly 1,000 people from the red-flag unit swarmed toward the sides and back, and after a while, they disappeared.

And their camp was also in chaos, with people roaring and horses hurriedly running away behind them.

At this time, Li Yuanqing's three troops had formed a parallel trend, and the three troops were in a straight line. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong also came to Zhang Pan's central army.

Since I left the city early in the morning, it is now noon, and the sun has already set halfway to the west, around one o'clock.

Although the three troops did not fight against the Houjin Army, they scared away these dog Tatars from the front. Everyone was filled with joy and cheers.

Although he did not actually receive the goods, he was able to retreat Yue Tuo from the front with his momentum. Zhang Pan was in a good mood, "Yuan Qing, Lao Chen, look at this. Yue Tuo, this puppy, is just a showman. He is no longer useful.

Now. We can work together to take down this camp. They retreated in a hurry, and there should be a lot of good things in the camp."

Chen Zhong did not expect that today's battle would be so smooth. Although he was very happy, he still retained enough caution, "Yue Tuo's main force is still there. If there is a scam in the camp, we will lose more than we gain. The camp can't escape, so we don't have to

Eager for this moment."

Zhang Pan also understood what Chen Zhong meant and quickly looked at Li Yuanqing, "Does this little puppy Yue Tuo want to imitate us last time?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Eighty percent. He has suffered such great injustice, how can he not be resentful? We are not in a hurry."

Zhang Pandao: "Yuan Qing, you're out of your mind, what should we do? We can't let Yue Tuo, a puppy, run so briskly."

"hehe."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Yue Tuo's idea is good, but things are not that easy. This camp is not small, and there are many good things. Wouldn't it be a pity to waste it?"

Zhang Pan's eyes lit up, "Yuan Qing, do you have any good ideas?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "It's very simple. Let's take the sugar coating and return the cannonball to him."

…………

The camp with the red flag is not small, it was rebuilt based on the remaining camp of the old slave force.

During these days, Yue Tuo was also afraid that the Ming army would carry out sneak attacks at night, so he ordered people to reinforce the camp and improve defensive measures.

If it were normal, the Ming army would have to pay a lot of blood if they wanted to capture this camp. But at this time, Yue Tuo's initiative to give in made it easy.

Soon, the three ministries sent people into the camp to seize various fortifications in the north.

Seeing the Ming army rushing into the camp, the Houjin soldiers who stayed behind did not dare to pack up their things and swarmed back. The camp suddenly became empty.

At this time, the three main forces have arrived outside the camp gate and are taking a temporary rest. The auxiliary soldiers have begun to enter the camp to clean up the mess. The first ones to be included are the food, wages and supplies with red flags.

The army of the Ming Dynasty mainly ate rice and noodles as vegetarian food. The army of the Jin Dynasty also ate rice and noodles, but due to its characteristics, the staple food was mostly meat.

Soon, thousands of sheep and hundreds of mules were driven over from the back camp.

Countless kinds of bacon and dried meat were dug out and brought to the main force of the Ming army.

It is a pity that war horses and other fast animals have been taken away by the Hou Jin army.

Seeing this rich harvest, Li Yuanqing and the three of them all smiled.

Zhang Pan laughed and said: "Eat meat if you have the guts, eat shit if you don't. It's really the right thing to do. By the way, I haven't eaten mutton in a while."

Chen Zhong frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. At this time, he didn't want to argue too much with Zhang Pan.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "The dog Tatars lived a good life as a child. But this is all the blessings of us Han people. Naturally, it belongs to us Han people. We can be regarded as doing justice for heaven."

Zhang Pan laughed: "That's right. Just doing justice for heaven. Haha."

Chen Zhongdao: "Yuan Qing and Yue Tuo's main forces are not injured. They will not just watch these food and wages fall into our hands. We must be careful about them killing them."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "It will get dark soon. Lushun City is more than two miles away from here. We can't go back tonight, so we must prepare in advance."

Chen Zhong nodded vigorously.

Yue Tuo would never give up the camp so easily. The reason why he retreated must be to have a backup plan.

However, in this current situation, Yue Tuo's troops were too few to confront the three troops head-on. The best way was to burn the camp on fire and trap the Ming army in the camp.

But the Ming army did not enter the camp rashly, so this method would not work.

But if the Ming army rushed back to the city with the spoils of war, once they opened up their front line, they gave Yue Tuo a huge opportunity.

"Yuanqing, where should we camp tonight?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "It's better to choose a place than to live there. I think these fences are good and suitable for roasting mutton. Let's do it here."
