The fierce general Xi Fo died first, and Nurhaci frowned. But he quickly recovered, and people will always die in war. Although Xi Fo was brave, he was too brave. Relying on the sharp armor, he took more than a dozen people with him.

It makes sense that he could not come back so deep into the Ming army's formation!

"Mang Gurtai! Jue Luo Bai Shan!" Nurhaci called out two names, and immediately two people came out of the crowd. Mang Gurtai is the bravest among the four Baylors. Jue Luo Bai Shan is the most courageous among the generals.

, the most mature and prudent. Let these two people go, they will definitely succeed.

"The slave is here!"

"Organize the yellow flag and continue the attack!" Nurhachi's order was as cold as today's weather. He didn't care how many people died, because he knew that the opposite side must be the most elite infantry of the Ming Dynasty. Even the Qi Army could not compete with them for the forward position. They were not elite.

It's simply impossible!

"twitter!"

The two men took the order, hit their horses and rushed towards the battlefield.

The war horse under Mang Gurtai's crotch was driven like an arrow from its string by him. The man was not even on the battlefield, but he was already wielding a huge four-foot-long bow.

Qin Bangping looked at the battlefield with a pale face. He followed his sister Qin Liangyu across the southwest. Whether it was the chieftain of the Miao family or the ruthless bandits in the wild forest. There were no less than 500 small and large battles, but today's battle was definitely the most difficult battle.

The white-pole soldiers he led were known as the strongest soldiers in the southwest. Each of them was one of a hundred strong men, and his brother Qin Minping was a master of martial arts. But just now, he was almost killed by more than a dozen people under his nose.

.Qin Minping went to battle and was almost killed.

The Tatar soldiers are indeed fierce! However, the situation is good now. After killing the Tatar warriors, Huang Biaobing's attack was somewhat delayed. Qin Minping took the opportunity to lead his men to block the gap opened by Xifo. The current battle line has been restored.

Come over and eliminate the heavily armored warriors in front. The crossbow arrows begin to kill the Tatar soldiers wearing cotton armor.

Many of the cotton armors worn by the Tatar soldiers were actually those of the Ming army. They were just dyed a different color and then worn by their own people. Although the Tatars had won several great victories in a row, they were still not rich.

It is impossible for everyone to have an iron frame!

Cotton armor is actually the standard armor of Ming army soldiers. Generally, one piece of armor requires about ten kilograms of cotton. After it is wetted, it is repeatedly forged into pieces of cotton. A layer of cotton is pasted on both sides, with several layers of cotton in the middle.

, fill it into the patch and fix it with rivets to make cotton armor.

Cotton armor has a certain degree of protection against swords and crossbows, but the biggest feature of cotton armor is that it is cheap. Therefore, the Ming army equipped cotton armor on a large scale. The Tatar soldiers naturally captured cotton armor on a large scale.

It is convenient and affordable to go back and dye it yourself and then use it.

White-pole soldiers use a stepped crossbow, which means they need to step on it with their feet and pull the crossbow string with both hands before hanging it. This type of powerful crossbow is expensive to make, but its range can reach an astonishing three hundred meters.

At a distance of about two hundred meters, there was no problem in penetrating the cotton armor of the Tatar soldiers. The shield car covering their charge had been captured by the Ming army following the failure of Sifu Xian, and now became a Ming army crossbowman.

's bunker.

Under the powerful crossbow arrows, the Zhenghuang Flag suffered heavy casualties. This is the Zhenghuang Flag, and any other flag might have collapsed by now.

The attack of the Xianglan Banner on one side was also not smooth. The Xilanlan Banner brought by Grand were not elites. They didn't have many pieces of iron armor at all, they were all made of cotton armor. As soon as the battle started, they were suppressed by the powerful crossbows of the Ming army.

.

The anxious Ge Lang took the lead in charging, but was pierced through the chest by a spear thrown by Qin Minping who was rushing over. Qin Minping was almost killed by Xi Fo just now, but now he killed the enemy general, and he felt a little better.

.

Ao Canghai on the other side breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the front line on the other side had stabilized. In any case, it only needs to be stable until dark. In winter, it gets dark early, and it will get dark in two hours.

"No, General Qin was fooled." Li Xiao looked at it carefully for a while and suddenly said.

"Boy, what kind of battle have you fought? Don't talk nonsense, General Qin has stabilized the front. As long as we wait until dark, we can withdraw to Liaoyang." As long as it gets dark, we can use the darkness to successfully disengage and withdraw to Liaoyang.

Go to Liaoyang.

"It's not nonsense, look at it! The Tatar soldiers attacked from the east and southeast. In order to fight against the Tatars, General Qin also transferred his troops to the east and southeast. Many troops have been transferred to the bridgehead in the west.

.If the Tatars attack with all their strength at the end of the bridge, they can cut off the way for the white soldiers to cross the bridge in one fell swoop.

In the current weather, even at night, can the white soldiers swim across the Hun River?" Li Xiao pointed at the Hun River where ice, snow, and ice edges collided with each other. The temperature is even lower at night, and it is absolutely impossible to go down into the Hun River.

Will be frozen to death.

"Hmm...!" Qi Jin lowered his head and glanced at Li Xiao, but he didn't expect Li Xiao to have such eyes. He was also wondering why the Tatar soldiers wanted to attack from the east before he figured it out.

"General Qi, we have to cross the bridge quickly and support the white pole soldiers, otherwise the white pole soldiers will be completely destroyed." Li Xiao could not watch the white pole soldiers be completely destroyed.

"Boy, the white soldiers cannot retreat. Now they are resisting the attack of nearly 10,000 Tatars, and they can only maintain it by military formation. If they retreat, the military formation cannot be maintained intact. Once the military formation is broken, their entire army will be destroyed.

What will happen." Ao Canghai helplessly patted Li Xiao on the shoulder.

"Are we just going to watch them die? Even if they die and the Tatars attack with all their strength, we won't survive. Only by supporting each other can we survive until dark and retreat." Li Xiao knew that the only thing that could save the white soldiers now was the one in front of him.

Qi Jin. Saving the white pole soldiers is equivalent to saving yourself.

Qi Jin's face was ashen and he clenched his teeth tightly. His cheeks were as hard as two rocks!

He knew that Li Xiao was right, but the Qi Army's past support of the Baigan soldiers meant abandoning the existing solid positions. The Qi Army's Yuanyang Formation was powerful. However, the Yuanyang Formation was invented when dealing with Japanese soldiers and was very effective against infantry.

It is a little worse to deal with cavalry. This has been verified by General Qi when he was stationed at Jimen.

At that time, it was precisely because of the disadvantages faced by the cavalry that General Qi presided over the construction of the Great Wall of Gyeonggi. Even the Mongolian cavalry had a difficult time, and now they are dealing with the more fierce Jurchens...! Once defeated, his camp lacks people to defend it. I am afraid he will not be able to hold on.

Until dark!

There was a battle between heaven and man in Qi Jin's mind, and suddenly there was a noise from the rear camp. A captain ran over panting and reported loudly: "General! It's bad, Tatar soldiers were found in the rear camp!"

"What?" Qi Jin was struck by lightning, and Tatar soldiers appeared behind him. The retreat... was cut off!
Chapter completed!
