Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 170 Chapter 170, Prince Zheng divided into three groups, and Li Guozhen was evenly matched
When Jierharang spoke, he was full of confidence.

For him, he has 5 elites under his command, and the Ming army on the opposite side is only [-] people, so the threat is not great.

When we were in Shanhaiguan last time, the wall was used as a cover for the Ming army, but this time there was no wall, it was a pure field battle.

Why did the Ming army win?

Not only Jierhalang, but even the other Manchu generals present thought so.

Since the Pine Brocade War, the Manchu Qing hadn't lost to Daming in a field battle for many years, and the worst would be a draw.

Both sides are preparing intensively, and soon, the day of the decisive battle has arrived.

On this day, under the order of Jierhalang, the Qing army began to march out of the camp on a large scale.

This is undoubtedly a very clear signal, and soon, the Ming army also began to form a camp.

There is no need for any gimmicks like an afternoon call. Both sides already know that the decisive day is now.

Ji Erhalang looked at the many generals around him, his eyes flickered, and he fell into thinking.

Soon, Jierhalang said: "Azig, you are in charge of the left wing, and the army with two white flags belongs to you. Jidu, you are in charge of the right wing, and the army with two yellow flags belongs to you. I am in charge of the central army, understand? "

Ji Erhalang's arrangement is very simple and straightforward, because in his opinion, this arrangement is the most trouble-free and the easiest to win.

Azige is the elder brother of Dorgon, but Azige and Dorgon have always been at odds, but they are closer to Jierhalang.

Not to mention Jidu, that is Jierhalang's son.

Letting these two men serve as the main generals of the left and right wings respectively can prevent Dorgon's people from doing anything secretly, which will affect Jierhalang's victory in this battle.

Thinking about the battle in Shanhaiguan, Ji Erhalang always felt that some of Dorgon's troops would not work hard, and this time he came to plan ahead.

Hauge was listening to Jierharang's arrangement, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

In Hauge's view, he is absolutely qualified to be the leader no matter in terms of qualifications or ability, and now he has to be overwhelmed by such a yellow-haired boy like Ji Du. One can imagine the unhappiness in his heart.

"Jierhalang, you chose this yourself!" Hauge sneered in his heart.

After making a decision, Jierhalang issued an order: "Attack!"

Amidst the rumbling drums, the Manchu army began to advance.

Naturally, this was immediately noticed by the Ming army. With a calm expression, Zhu Cihong watched the Manchu Qing army sweeping in the distance, and smiled at Li Guozhen who was beside him: "Uncle Xiangcheng, this time it's up to you."

Zhu Cihong is indeed inexperienced in commanding such large corps operations.

Li Guozhen thought it was Zhu Cihong who was giving way, and hurriedly said: "Why should your highness be modest? This time, I obeyed your highness's orders unconditionally."

Zhu Cihong said sternly: "I really have no humility. This battle is under the full command of you, Uncle Xiangcheng. I just provide some suggestions."

Li Guozhen looked at Zhu Cihong blankly: "..."

What's the situation?

But soon, Li Guozhen came back to his senses, thinking he understood what Zhu Cihong meant.

This is His Royal Highness testing me, Old Li!
His Royal Highness definitely wants to see if I, Li Guozhen, have the ability to command. If so, I should be able to rest assured that I, Lao Li, will be in charge in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Guozhen's heart suddenly surged with self-confidence, and he said to Zhu Cihong in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the minister will definitely command well, and live up to His Highness's high expectations!"

Seeing Li Guozhen who started to dispatch troops to deal with the Manchu attack, Zhu Cihong also breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, professional things should be done by professional people.

For Ben Gong, let’s wait for now.

A fierce battle between the two sides soon broke out.

The musketeers on both sides were the first to engage in battle. Amidst the sound of bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, soldiers fell to the ground continuously, and the speed of casualties was much faster than that of cold weapons.

Whether it is the Ming army or the Qing army, at this time they have already begun to try to deploy firecrackers on a large scale in the army. The Ming army is mainly based on the Shenji Battalion, while the Manchu army is more complicated. The Eight Banners Army There are basically every flag among them, which can be regarded as a rain and dew.

The accuracy of the firecracker is not enough, and the shooting range is also a flaw, but the advantage lies in the convenience. ,

Cold weapons like bows and crossbows require certain physical conditions such as arm strength, so archers are generally the strongest and most elite troops in the army.

There is no such requirement for firecrackers. Even if you are malnourished, as long as your eyes are not blind and your hands are sound, you can become a firecracker soldier after simple training. The threshold is much lower than that of archers.

After the two sides shot each other with firecrackers, they finally began to fight each other.

Compared with long-range firecrackers, hand-to-hand combat is undoubtedly very cruel.

"Kill the dog!"

"Punish Jiannu!"

Amidst the shouts, swords, swords, steel guns and iron spears crazily greeted the enemy's body.

Corpses fell to the ground one after another, blood was flowing, and the air was soon filled with the smell of blood.

Ji Erhalang watched this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a cruel smile.

"Come on, those Ming people are no match for our Qing Dynasty!"

Jierhalang's confidence lies in his victories over the past few years.

But this time, Jierharang clearly made a mistake in his judgment.

Because on the other side, Li Guozhen also gritted his teeth: "Let's all be pressured by this general, and Jiannu must not be allowed to come in!"

The two sides fought fiercely, and the soldiers at the front fell one after another, but the soldiers in the rear immediately picked up.

Zhu Cihong watched this scene quietly, and his heart was full of enthusiasm.

He wanted to do something, but neither sniper rifles nor pistols would come in handy at this time. As for close combat, it was not Zhu Cihong's forte.

what can we do about it?

Although the two sides are in a stalemate, if the stalemate continues, the Qing army will usually be more resilient and become the ultimate winner.

Zhu Cihong couldn't help calling out in his heart: "System, come out and start the mission soon!"

Since arriving in Jinzhou to complete the sign-in, the system has entered silence.

Now that the battle situation is tense, Zhu Cihong also feels that he can't wait any longer, so he simply sends out an active call.

He didn't expect much at first, but he didn't expect the system to actually respond after calling.

The next moment, the system's voice sounded: "It is detected that the battle situation is difficult, and at the request of the host, a special task is issued: the host is asked to lead the army to the left wing of the Manchu army within one hour, and defeat the left wing of the Manchu army with the assistance of Manchu Neigui Haug. Victory."

Zhu Cilang was also taken aback when he heard the words, and then his expression became strange.

"Hauge..."

He really didn't expect that the task issued by the system would be like this.

Zhu Cihong settled down, and said to Li Guozhen seriously: "Uncle Xiangcheng, my palace is going to lead the army to attack!"
