Chapter 650

The snow was still falling, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, but the whistling wind stopped at some point, which seemed particularly depressing and gloomy, as if even God was shocked by the scene on the battlefield.

On the plain, the two armies were only three miles apart, and they could clearly see the ostentatious words on the flag erected by the military headquarters of the other party - Ming and Jin. The more than 100,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty actually met the Jin army's rescue team in this empty space. This was also due to the weather, which made the scouts unable to explore the way too far, which led to the two men and horses who suddenly realized the existence of the other party until they were so close. At that time, both sides stopped and looked at the enemy on the other side quietly. []

Although the Ming army was a little panicked, when they thought of the previous successive victory and the advantages that Tang Feng had told them, the soldiers quickly stabilized their minds, and then quickly set up defensive formations according to previous training. At the same time, Tang Feng had already passed on his life and quietly continued to move the artillery that was already Chen in the front army, and he wanted to win the lead.

The Jin army on the opposite side also responded quickly. Their still scattered formation was ready in less than a moment, and it was the most suitable arrow-brush formation for assault. The knights pressed their bodies tightly on the horse's back, and held the bent bow and steel knife tightly. After a command, they rushed forward with lightning speed. Because the cavalry's hands were still pulling the reins, the horses under their straddle were also very uneasy. The heat kept coming out of their nostrils, which made the atmosphere even more solemn and tense.

Huang Taiji was wearing armor and looked at Mingjun from afar, without any expression on his face, which put invisible pressure on the ministers around him. In fact, Huang Taiji also hated the Mingjun who dared to kill the Jin Dynasty and wanted to order people to rush forward now and kill the enemy to vent his anger. However, he did not have the order to attack this hasty underground. For some reason, he always felt that the Mingjun today looked a little different. If he attacked rashly, he would probably suffer a loss.

Only from the calmness and order shown by the Ming army when they suddenly encountered the Jin army, Huang Taiji did not dare to underestimate them. However, in the eyes of some Jin generals, it was not the case. The Ming army's calmness may be related to their current superior forces and the situation of winning one after another in the past two days. They just had not really seen the most powerful iron cavalry of the Jin Dynasty. As long as they really fought, they would naturally collapse.

So when he saw Huang Taiji pondering and not giving an attack order, someone made an opinion: "Khan, we should take the lead! The Ming army is good at defending but not attacking. If they drag it down, maybe they will set up a turtle formation in front of the formation. It will be too difficult for us to win a big victory at that time!"

"Yes, please Khan quickly order us to kill us!" People kept echoing, everyone's eyes flashed with excitement, and they could kill one more time again. For the warlike Jin people, this was undoubtedly a great temptation.

Huang Taiji looked at the expressions of the generals below and knew that everyone thought so. In addition to the fact that the soldiers hated the Ming army because of the defeat reports they received before, more importantly, they like to fight. Only by making enough contributions on the battlefield can they receive more rewards.

Even Huang Taiji, the Khan of the Great Jin Dynasty, could not let these soldiers who were already red from their eyes hold back. So after looking deeply at the Ming army camp in the distance, Huang Taiji finally nodded: "Transfer to my order, the front army attacked forward, and the central army divided into two groups to attack the two wings of the Ming army."

"Woooo--!" The sound of the trumpet suddenly sounded, and the Jin cavalry showed their super-human skills at this moment. After receiving the order, the 50,000-year-old army immediately made changes. The front army shot straight towards the Ming army like an arrow off the string, while the central army suddenly separated from each other and surrounded the two sides. While galloping, the Jin people had quickly held the bow in their hands, and then quickly put an arrow on them. As soon as they entered their range, they would first disrupt the Ming army's formation with quick shots, and then attack.

Seeing the Jin army's flexible and uniform movements, Tang Feng also secretly admired in his heart. If there were no firearms in hand, even if he had an overwhelming advantage in military strength, he would have only passively beaten on such a plain. However, this time, the Jin army would have no good results. The faster they rushed, the ugly they would die at that time.

With Tang Feng's order, "On the shield! On the cannon!" Two teams that had been eager to try came forward, and the flatbed cart under the cannon made a crunch and plowed deep ditches on the snow. Although the artillery of the Ming Dynasty has been transformed and is much lighter than before, it still takes a lot of time to push such a heavy thing up on this soft snow. As for the shield, they blocked the gunners, in case the Jin army attacked too quickly, and fired arrows before the cannon was ignited, injuring the gunners.

But soon, Tang Feng found that his concern was a little unnecessary. Because he seemed terrifying just now, it seemed that the Jin cavalry who could rush to the army had problems when they were not far away.

The problem is still on the soft snow. Every step on it can make people run quickly without the snow on your knees, and of course it is the same for horses. Many war horses are swept by the knights and try hard to move forward, but they stop the horse's legs from breaking, and then they fall to the ground and press the cavalry on their backs down. Before they fight with the enemy, dozens of people lost their lives like this, which forced the Jin cavalry to slow down and their original momentum became much weaker.

Despite this, because the distance between the two sides was too close, the Jin army quickly rushed to a place that was only about 500 steps away from the Ming army. As long as they rushed forward two hundred steps, they could shoot the first wave of arrows. Although the arrows shot like that were not accurate, tens of thousands of arrows covering the shooting were still very harmful to the Ming army. Many impatient Jin army had already begun to steer forward while spreading their bowstrings with their feet so that they could quickly shoot the arrow.

However, their wishful thinking did not come true. Just when the Jin army rushed to a distance of 500 steps, the Ming army's spearmen who had already looked to be on high alert suddenly retreated to the back, and then hundreds of cannons that had been filled with gunpowder and projectiles, and even the angles were adjusted. The black holes faced the Jin people rushing up in front of them, and looked particularly fierce against the white snow.

"Boom..." Just when the Jin army was shocked, hundreds of cannons roared at the same time. Countless iron nails, iron sand and other sharp weapons flew out from the muzzle under the push of gunpowder, cutting off the snowflakes that were still falling in the sky, and shooting directly into the horses that were still rushing forward and the cavalry on the horses.

Suddenly, many cavalrymen in front fell off their horses, blood staining the entire snow red, many cavalrymen were beaten into sieves, and many horses ran around after being hit, which hurt more cavalrymen. The Jin army, which was still moving forward behind, collided with their companions in front because they could not control the sprinting horse for a while, and more people were injured.

The Ming army took advantage of this opportunity and immediately stepped forward. The Ming army rushing forward was not a cavalry or a heavy artillery team, but a Divine Machine Camp musket team holding muskets. Thousands of muskets rushed forward for about a hundred steps and then opened fire. The dense gunfire sound was like fried beans, killing more golden men off the horse.

At this time, the Jin army, who surrounded the flanks of the Ming army from both sides, had already arrived, but was also shocked by the situation ahead, and the speed of the forward rushing was obviously weakened. At this moment, the formation of the Ming army on both sides was revealed, and hundreds of musketeers were exposed. After another gunshot, the Jin people on both sides were also caught off guard.

In this way, the Ming army's determination to win was greatly enhanced. Under the command of the generals, the troops on both sides launched a counterattack first. Because the troops on both sides did not use artillery, they were far better than those of the front army in terms of flexibility. They rushed forward with all kinds of weapons.

However, the Jin army was already in chaos. The cavalry and horses that were knocked down to the ground became stumbling blocks for the army behind. In addition, the snow at the knees is not suitable for the cavalry's charge, so they could only use random arrows to block the Ming army's counterattack.

However, most of the Ming troops here are elite soldiers from Liaodong, and they fought with the Jin people not once or twice. They knew their tactics very well. When they saw the enemy's movements, they raised the shield behind them. The golden people's arrow rain did not hurt many people. At the same time, the soldiers holding muskets also took action.

With a bang, the large number of Jin troops fell off the horse. It was not that these people were unhappy on the horse and could not avoid the attack of muskets, but because the target of the Ming army was not them at all, but the war horses they crossed. In the process of such a crowded and rapid advance, the horses had no time to dodge, and eventually they were shot and fell down, and also threw the owner on their back half to death.

The more people fell down, the more unfavorable it would be for the Jin army's advance. They could no longer play their advantage in impact, but they did not dare to retreat without the command of the central army. For a moment, the situation was completely reversed.

At this time, in the Jin Dynasty formation, Huang Taiji and the generals all looked tragic. They never thought that in just a short meeting, the warriors under their command would be so embarrassed. Only then did they hurt a few Ming troops and they had already suffered heavy casualties. After a while, someone woke up and said, "Khan, retreat quickly, otherwise..."

With the sound of the retreating gong, the Jin army began to form a formation and retreat. However, the Ming army did not intend to let go of the enemies in front of them. First, a gunshot from the front army, but now the improved muskets are far better than before in the speed of reloading gunpowder and projectiles, so they can play a huge advantage even when facing extremely fast cavalry.

At this time, the Jin army no longer had the fighting spirit and just wanted to escape back. After turning around, they quickly paid a heavy price. Hundreds of unlucky guys were hit by muskets or fell to the ground with war horses. What awaited them was a dead end. However, the Jin people who avoided the muskets did not have time to be grateful, because after the muskets, the cannon with amazing power and even more amazing sounds were once again exerted.

Half of the projectiles emitted by the artillery this time were flowering bullets made of iron nails, iron sand, etc., while the other half was solid bullets. Driven by gunpowder, the iron balls moved forward rapidly. As long as there were objects blocking it, they would be penetrated. There would be a huge impact force when they fell into the crowd, and dozens of people were killed by it.

The Jin army, who felt the power of artillery, was completely in chaos. They no longer had the previous order. Everyone rushed to escape, fearing that they would be killed by the next wave of artillery.

Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji's face had turned pale from the verge of anger just now. It was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre. The cavalry of the Great Jin fights the Ming army with flesh and blood. How could such an unequal battle continue? At this moment, all the Jin people's hearts were bleeding.

A scene that made them even more sad happened at this time. The two Jin troops attacking the side of the Ming army also quickly retreated after encountering the attack of the Ming army. But at this time, the Ming army's cavalry was dispatched, and they rushed directly to the Jin army, which was already in a mess and almost lost fighting spirit. They were the elite Guanning Iron Cavalry in the Liaodong Army.

Although it really goes without saying that Guanning Iron Cavalry is still inferior to the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom in combat power, it means that when the troops are equal and there is no external interference. But now it is obvious that everything is not equal. On the one hand, the Jin army is already exhausted and many people are injured, while on the other hand, they are replenishing their strength and Ming cavalry with musket teams as cover. In this way, the strength and weakness must be adjusted one by one.

The Ming army had long received the order from Tang Feng, and this time it must not allow the Jin people to retreat so easily, so their pursuit was very powerful, with bows, arrows and muskets splashing towards the retreating Jin army like money, which greatly delayed their pace. At this time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry had already killed behind the opponent, and the steel knife in his hand slashed straight at these enemies who had been around for many years.

The Jin army, which had long lost its fighting spirit, was even more chaotic after seeing such a situation. They might be very brave and fierce, but when they were at a disadvantage, the Jin cavalry that had always attacked instead of defending was not as good as ordinary Ming soldiers who were well-trained and often defended. At this time, the only thing they thought of was to run back desperately, and in this way, there were more horses tripped by thick snow. Once a cavalry fell off the horse, it was naturally self-evident that the fate of waiting for them was naturally self-evident.

The snow had been killed into a bloody land, and the bodies of Jin cavalry and horses were piled up into mountains. Less than half of the two cavalrymen who attacked the Ming army from the side were able to escape, and the others died at the hands of the Ming army.

Seeing such heavy casualties, all the Jin army soldiers looked like earth. It was not until this time that they realized that the enemy they were facing was so powerful. The only thing Huang Taiji could do was to conquer the troops and retreat. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to fight with the Ming army again. They had to retreat into the city and defend the city.

However, the Ming army adhered to the spirit of Yi Zheng Sheng bravely chasing the enemy, and tightly bit the enemy without any intention of stopping. It was not until the Jin army retreated into Anshan City that they stopped chasing. In this battle, the Ming army won a great victory, killing the Jin army as many as 30,000, but their own casualties were less than 3,000. The casualties ratio of one to ten was never happened in any previous battle, and no one dared to imagine.

At this moment, the Liaodong generals who had reservations about Tang Feng's military service in the Jin Kingdom were also convinced. It turned out that our Ming Dynasty still had a great advantage in fighting against the Jin people, but it was not used to make use of this advantage in the past. The other soldiers even believed that this time they would be able to conquer the entire Jin Kingdom, thus completely destroying this old opponent who had been suffering from Liaodong for decades.

The army was full of morale, and people kept coming to Tang Feng to ask them to lead their troops to attack Anshan City, but at this time, Tang Feng did not act rashly. He refused everyone's request, which made many people puzzled.

In response, Tang Feng explained: "Although our army is in high morale, Jiannu is not weak either. If it is too tight, I am afraid that they will be anxious and will only increase the casualties of the soldiers. This time we will not only defeat the Jin Kingdom, but also ensure that our own strength is not damaged too much, because we have another enemy that we have not dealt with."

Everyone nodded in a clear way. They knew that the other enemy Tang Feng mentioned was the Mongols. Although their strength is no longer as strong as before, the threat is not small. If the Ming army lost too much to conquer the Jin Kingdom, it would only allow the Mongols to take advantage.

"What will the Duke of the State plan to deal with them?"

"It's very simple. How we captured Yingkou at the beginning, we can do it today." Tang Feng smiled and said, "Now that Jiannu is hit by this, many people who are not single-minded will naturally be shaken. As long as we can convey this meaning, there may be problems within them. At that time, we will attack the city, which will be much easier than to attack now."

The next morning, with a few cannons, several pots were delivered to the top of Anshan City. This shocked the city's military command, but then they launched not the things that were shockingly killed during the war the day before yesterday, but the pots. Once the jars broke, countless papers sprinkled out of them, and words were written on them.

Soon, the Jin generals in the city knew that something was wrong. The paper actually wrote a book of persuasion to surrender, so that those Jin soldiers could open the city to surrender, so that they could avoid the death of persuasion to surrender...
