As the wildfire gradually approached the mountainous area where the main force of Zhengbai Banner was hiding, the face of the Zhengbai Banner Beile Dorgon, who had been showing his tough attitude, had already pale. He knew that the morale of the Zhengbai Banner had lost the courage to fight again. Dorgon came to a high mountain and looked forward and backward. After seeing, he cut off the hem of the battle roar, bit his finger and prepared to write a suicide note. At this moment, the wind was rising in the sky, and large dark clouds quickly floated from afar. The roar of spring thunder suppressed the violent fire dragon. The raging wildfire trembled under the tyranny of the sky, and a hint of surprise appeared on the young and pale dirty face of Beile Dorgon, who was almost desperate.

People say that spring rain is as expensive as oil, not to mention that Zhili has not rained heavily for nearly a year. Rain is good news for the people who farm, and it is absolutely bad news for the Po Nu Army, which set fire to force the enemy to fight to the decisive battle. In less than half an hour, the dark black clouds swelled up with the cheers of spring thunder and extinguished the raging wild forest fires. Although the spring rain did not last long, it also completely failed the fire attack launched by the Zuoerya mountain troops. Dorgon seized the opportunity to announce to the officers and soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner that he had just asked the God of Rain to help the battle, and the Zhengbai Banner would definitely break the blockade of the Po Nu Army and retreat to Liaodong smoothly.

The wildfire extinguished by the heavy rain had a few blue smoke, which seemed to be supporting the words of the White Banner Bele Dorgon to invite the gods. In this era, both the Jurchens and the Han people respected ghosts and gods, even the strong army on the grassland. The only commander of the Pou Nu Army, Zhang Ping'an, seemed to be not very respectful to ghosts and gods, and the gods in the mouths of the Pu Nu Army were the objects of his usual teasing. In the view of the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army, their commander Zhang Ping'an was the reincarnation of the gods. Since it was the gods who were demoted to the mortal world because their lower brothers ate Chang'e's flesh, Zhang Ping'an could also understand the words of the immortals. However, the sudden celestial phenomena on the battlefield still severely hit the morale of the Pou Nu Army's army's military conquest of the Yixing camp. Their psychological advantage of invincible battle against the Jurchens was reduced.

The earlier wildfires burned down the weeds in the forest and also burned out the true appearance of the mountain. Many of them hidden in the weeds and shrubs, and exposed the accessible areas after a fire. As the commander of the first army, Zuo Erya also saw the disadvantages of the fire attack tactics. However, his opponent has now become infantry, and infantry battles are the strengths of the Ponu Army. Zuo Erya chose the Dui and Qian formations in the Bagua Formation, which are the main battles against the enemy today. The remaining 2,500 people formed five 500 musket phalanxes, leaving 500 as the battle reserve team.

With the advantage of entering the battlefield first, the Po Nu Army can arrange military formations on the battlefield in advance. After the fire, the Po Nu Army first considered the issue of moisture-proof fire. They did not load ammunition immediately, but were afraid that the loading would be eroded by the moisture after the rain would cause the 5,000 troops of the Po Nu Army's mountain troops were interspersed with the five thousand troops to guard the Zhengbai Banner and retreat to the Miyun area, so that the enemy would have to fight to the decisive battle if they wanted to go home. Zuo Erya believed that this tactic was most in line with the current response. With the continuous sound of muskets from scouts calling the police from the west, it also indicates the approach of a large number of enemy troops. Soon, dozens of scouts quickly ran out of the dense jungle on the west, and the three thousand vanguards of Zhengbai Banner gradually emerged from the bushes.

Seeing the enemy appear, the officers in various formations ordered all the musket soldiers to untie the musket mouths and load the ammunition. At the same time, the typical combat method before the Pou Nu Army went to battle was to pull the armor below. After loading the ammunition, the left hand raised high to signal the loading. The arms raised everywhere gave Zuo Erya great confidence. In contrast, the Zhengbai Banner infantry walked out of the forest. The hardship of escape for several days made their armor damaged, and they all looked like the same group of beggar soldiers. The leader of the Zhengbai Banner Beile Dorgon mixed in the vanguard, and he also looked like a beggar. As soon as Dorgon arrived at the battlefield of the Pou Nu Army, he felt a little tight. It seemed that the Pou Nu Army was ready to block the main force of the Zhengbai Banner.

Although there were not many Pou Nu soldiers blocking the way home of Zhengbai Banner, they were enough to defeat all the Zhengbai Banner soldiers led by Dorgon to go home. Although the pursuit was approaching, Dorgon tried hard to calm himself down in the face of the crisis. He observed the formation of the Pou Nu Army on the opposite side, hoping to find weaknesses from the arrangement of the opponent. Dorgon saw that there were two main formations of east and west of the Pou Nu Army on the opposite side, and about two main formations of about two thousand people controlling the mountain road on the east side, blocking the entrance of the mountain road with a thousand-man horizontal formation and two 500-man arrow formations. The main formation on the west side consisted of a thousand-man horizontal formation and five 500-man arrow formations, but this formation tilted slightly to the southwest, forming the most common large inclined attack formation of the Pou Nu Army.

The battle flag of the main general of the Po Nu Army stood behind the east formation, and five small formations of 100 people under the Zhan Banner formed a simple crescent-shaped guard formation. Seeing the formation of the Po Nu Army, Dorgon quickly understood the intention of the opponent's general to arrange the battlefield in this way. According to common sense, the main general of the battlefield generally sets the command position behind the main array, especially after the main array with the largest number of people, to guard against the opponent's command position as soon as possible. The somewhat strange main general position of the Po Nu Army made Dorgon seem to see a flaw. After years of experience in fighting with the Po Nu Army, Dorgon can understand why the opponent's main general took such a risk.

For Zhengbai Banner, the most shortcoming thing about this breakthrough battle is time. The general of the Ponu Army who blocked Baique Ridge deliberately put himself in danger, in order to lure Zhengbai Banner to take the initiative to attack the position of the Ponu Army's master. With the powerful combat power of the Ponu Army, the Zhengbai Banner, which is eager to break through, will drag the Zhengbai Banner, who is eager to break out, into a protracted battle. As long as the Zhengbai Banner fails to take the east side of the Ponu Army in the first attack, the main force of the entire Zhengbai Banner will definitely fall into a hard battle. Dorgon knew that although the morale of the Zhengbai Banner was greatly restored by the cheers of this heavy rain, his opponent was the Ponu Army Dorgon, who dared not be careless at all.

Just as Dorgon observed the army formation of the Ponu Army, his deputy, Meerezhen Mukeden, led the main force to the battlefield. As soon as Mukeden arrived, he hurried to Dorgon and whispered: "Master Beile, we have to hurry up! The pursuit of the Ponu Army is only three hours away from us."

Hearing Mu Keden's urging, Dorgon just looked back calmly and continued to look back and focus on the opposite Ponu Army formation. Dorgon's calmness gave Zhengbaiqi the courage to fight in the subsequent battles. They believed that a calm-minded commander would lead them to win the battle. At this moment, Dorgon faced northwest and drooled with his right index finger. He quickly determined the wind power from the wet and dry speed of his right index finger. Today, the wind direction and wind power were beneficial to the Zhengbaiqi breakout, but the fire attack could no longer be used, so the Zhengbaiqi would use its strength to launch an attack against the Ponu Army.

The Zhengbai Banner Bele Dorgon was preparing to have a bet today. He pressed himself and the fate of Zhengbai Banner on the gambling table. He wanted to gamble on the strongest western military formation of the slave army, which was the breakthrough point for the Zhengbai Banner's battle today. He pulled Meerezhen Mukeden to a secluded place and whispered his arrangement of battle today with Mukeden. Before Dorgon finished speaking, Mukeden's cold sweat emerged from his forehead. After Dorgon finished speaking, Mukeden turned his face and looked at the Zhengbai Banner's soldiers eager to try. His face was filled with fear of the future of the battle. However, Mukeden could not come up with a better way in the face of the crisis in front of him, and he could only follow Dorgon's battlefield arrangement as the strategy of today.

Dorgon, who had fought with the Possip Army many times, was familiar with the power of the large inclined tactics on the battlefield. The tactics invented by Zhang Ping'an, the grassland jackal wolf, broadened the horizons for the Jurchens who like to use strategies in war. The power of this large inclined attack tactics, Dorgon, as the leader of the Jurchen banner, taught a bloody lesson. Dorgon knew the advantages of the large inclined attack tactics, and he also wanted to test whether he could break this formation. Today, Dorgon first sent three thousand archers into the west side of the right army formation on the Possip Army, to occupy the upper vent and suppress the Possip Army musket with the range of wolf-tooth arrows. Dorgon did not attack the seemingly weakest eastern army formation of the Possip Army, but chose the most numerous western army formation as the key offensive target for the Zhengbai Banner breakout.

The advantage of attacking the enemy's flanks is also its weakness. The attack on the large incline is also afraid that its military formation will be attacked by the enemy. However, the Pou Nu Army has already developed a way to crack it, which is to transform its weak flanks into thick fists through a large number of training on the battlefield, and turn its weak flanks into thick fists. Zuo Erya, the leader of the Pou Nu Army commanded at Baiqueling, saw Zhengbai Banner sending 3,000 infantry to rush to the west of the army on his right, and he could roughly guess that the enemy's main general was to attack the weak flanks of the Pou Nu Army. At this time, Zuo Erya still could not determine whether the enemy was arranging the array at Shangfengkou this time, whether it was to attack the main attack or a feint. If he had to make a mistake in judging the situation on the battlefield would change.

But Zuo Erya still had to adjust the formation to avoid attacking his troops on the flanks. He immediately ordered the three attacking arrow formations in front of the right military formation to become defensive musket small horizontal formations, and specifically launched long-range attacks with the archers of the Zhengbai Banner. The Possess Army changed the formation due to the mobilization of the Zhengbai Banner's troops, which allowed Dorgon to see hope of breaking through. Dorgon knew that the Zhengbai Banner's soldiers were not the enemy of the Possess Army, so he had to find a way to fight with the Possess Army, so that the number of people in the Zhengbai Banner would be partially advantageous. In Dorgon's arrangement, there was a character who died. He arranged for Jialaezhenhe to lead 1,500 battle soldiers as a vanguard to attack the eastern military formation of the Possess Army, in order to make the main general of the Possess Army have an illusion.

This illusion is that the direction of the breakout of Zhengbai Banner is completely based on the normal situation. It seems that the situation that the master general of the Pou Nu Army had already expected is exactly the same as the current battlefield. The main force of the Zhengbai Banner Meilezhen Mukeden led the second attack to make the illusion of continuous attack on the eastern army formation of the Pou Nu Army. When Dorgon led the main force to attack the western army formation of the Pou Nu Army, Mu Keden and Dorgon attacked at the same time. In this way, the Zhengbai Banner can form a huge advantage of several times the strength of the Pou Nu Army on the local battlefield of the Pou Nu Army's western army formation. As long as the western army formation of the Pou Nu Army is in chaos, the flanks of the eastern army formation of the Pou Nu Army will be exposed to the attack of the Zhengbai Banner's attacking army.
