How many people did Manggurtai have under his command?

In fact, there are only a little over 20,000 troops.

Among them, about 10,000 were real Eight Banners Tatars.

The rest are bondservants, traitors and running dogs.

The troops directly under Shang Kexi had more than 2 people.

Although among them were 10,000 Korean soldiers.

It can't fight tough battles and is of no great use.

But there will definitely be no problem in fighting a favorable battle.

Daishan only fought a tentative battle and then quickly fled with his men.

Shang Kexi and the others all knew about this matter.

So Shang Kexi was very careful.

Some musketeers were specially sent out.

Follow the elite Ye Bushou.

To create trouble for Manggurtai and his men and deliberately delay their march.

Act as if you are doing your best to slow down the enemy.

This gave Manggurtai an illusion.

They thought Shang Kexi was afraid of them.

——Afraid that after they successfully reached the front line, they would pose a threat to Shang Kexi and others.

Actually?

Shang Kexi just wanted to delay time.

Just waiting for the encirclement to close...

……

Manggurtai and his companions walked and stopped.

It took three or four days to reach the Xiuyan area.

Shang Kexi again showed an attitude of withdrawing his troops and staying firmly in the camp, refusing to leave.

This made Manggurtai more relaxed.

I feel that Mao Wenlong's men are nothing special.

In front of their elite Eight Banners troops.

All they can do is passively defend and take the beating.

Hauge: "Marshal, the enemy is hiding in the camp and won't come out. Should we attack the camp?"

Manggurtai: "Don't worry, the enemy is there and can't escape. We have worked hard all the way here, let's take a good rest first.

Then let the soldiers prepare more firewood and torches. We will launch the attack tomorrow. We won't have to fight the enemy head-on. Won't they hide in the camp and not come out?

Then we can have the Eight Banners warriors rush to the edge of their camp and throw firewood and torches into the enemy camp. When the fire starts, I wonder if they can get out?"

Babutai: "General, you are wise. Using fire attack saves effort and trouble. We can just wait for the enemy to run out by themselves and then chop off their heads."

Manggurtai: "It's good that you understand. Let our people rest quickly and let the servants collect firewood to make torches..."

"Yes, Marshal..."

……

Inside Shang Kexi's camp.

Every move of Manggurtai and his men.

All of this was seen by Shang Kexi and the others.

Zhang Dabiao who followed Shang Kexi.

He smiled and said to Shang Kexi: "The enemy has fallen into the trap. Are General Yang and General Shan in position?"

Shang Kexi: "Yang Yuwei and Shan Dongzhong have led their men to cut off the enemy's retreat and are quietly encircling them.

Let's let the enemy rest for a while, and when the encirclement is complete, we can launch a war of annihilation..."

Zhang Dabiao: "I heard there are a lot of iron mines in Liaodong. Do you want to leave some people alive as free labor?"

Shang Kexi: "No need, the Marshal will take care of the labor. Nowadays, as long as you are given a full meal, there are plenty of people rushing to work.

Rather than giving the food to these beasts, it is better to leave it for the refugees inside the pass. There are constant natural disasters inside the pass, the court is tyrannical and unjust, and many people can no longer survive..."

Zhang Dabiao: "That's a good idea. Right, I have nothing to do for now, so I'll go take a rest. Just let someone notify me before the battle starts."

Shang Kexi: "Okay, I'll have someone notify you in advance..."

The enemy was in no hurry to attack.

Shang Kexi and the others were naturally not in a hurry.

The tighter the encirclement of the enemy, the less likely it is that the enemy will escape.

So Shang Kexi is really not in a hurry at all...

……

At midnight that day.

Shang Kexi and others received the telegram.

Yang Yuwei, Shan Dongzhong and others are already in place.

And they agreed to launch the general attack at dawn.

Then everyone began to prepare quietly.

The hot weapons regiment under Shang Kexi.

He had sent them out long before the enemy's army arrived.

Ambush far away on both sides of the battlefield.

As for Shang Kexi's own people.

With the help of the warriors led by Zhang Dabiao, it was enough to deal with Manggurtai and his men...

At dawn.

Shang Kexi led his troops.

They came out of the camp one after another.

Then they formed a neat attack formation.

Advance towards the enemy camp.

Manggurtai and others noticed the actions of Shang Kexi and others.

Respond quickly.

They also went out of the camp and formed a battle line.

Manggurtai was in the middle, with Hauge and Babutai on the left and right.

The armies of both sides were advancing towards each other.

The atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly depressing - the sky was filled with war clouds and murderous intent.

And the pace of both sides is getting faster and faster.

From the steady progress at the beginning, to the trot at the end, and then to the charge with shouts.

"kill……"

Tens of thousands of troops charged at the enemy at the same time.

The snakes, insects, birds and beasts in the forest were frightened and fled away from this place of killing.

The speed of the charge of both sides was getting faster and faster.

The distance between each other is getting closer and closer.

It was just when the distance between the two sides was about 2 kilometers.

Shang Kexi and his team suddenly slammed on the brakes.

One after another, the Eight-Ox Crossbows were lifted up and placed behind the front row of the team.

The soldiers worked together to string the crossbow, tied the explosive pack to the arrow, and lit the fuse.

Then the soldiers in the front row moved away.

Dozens of eight-ox crossbows and dozens of light and heavy machine guns were exposed.

And the enemy at this time.

I had no idea that death was about to come.

Still charging forward.

And they have already rushed into the range of machine guns and eight-ox crossbows.

The Eight Ox Crossbows attacked first.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

In that buzzing sound that makes your scalp tingle.

The crossbow arrow was as thick as a child's arm and carried a pack of explosives with a lit fuse.

Shoot quickly towards the enemy.

"Puff puff……"

A crossbow arrow with great force and weight.

Directly stop the charging warhorse.

He was shot so hard that he fell backwards.

At the same time, the explosive packs began to explode.

"Boom...boom..."

As the explosions continued, people and horses fell to the ground and blood and flesh flew everywhere in the enemy camp.

Gaps were torn open in an instant, and hundreds of enemies were killed or wounded.

The resulting confusion.

It's out of control...

On Shang Kexi's side, all guns opened fire at once.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

"Da da da da da..."

The enemies fell in large numbers.

Manggurtai did not charge at the front.

But the warhorse under him was frightened and rushed forward madly.

Manggurtai's personal soldiers.

In the chaos, only a few people guarded him closely.

Then there was Manggurtai who was controlling the warhorse.

As I was rushing forward, I suddenly found that there was nothing in front of me.

All the soldiers in front of him fell down or lay prone.

Manggurtai was shocked.

He was about to abandon his horse and flee.

Because this war has been completely lost.

If he doesn't escape now, he won't be able to save his life.

As a result, several crossbow arrows just happened to shoot towards them.

Manggurtai first felt that he and his horse were flying.

Then there was a deafening explosion.

Manggurtai felt himself being torn into pieces.

Completely lost consciousness...
