"All the generals obey orders!" Zhang Mingwei shouted loudly with a serious expression.

All the generals, including Li Laiheng, Li Guo and others, clasped their fists and responded: "The last one is here!"

Zhang Mingwei glanced at these famous generals and shouted loudly: "This battle is a decisive battle, the most important battle to restore Liaodong. It must be fierce, and it will be determined by one battle. You must not delay it and let Jianlu adapt to our army's fighting style. Do you understand?"

This statement has actually been emphasized once. It is only very important, so it is emphasized again before the war.

I have to say that Jianlu is actually good at learning. Originally, the Jianzhou Jurchens were a fishing and hunting nation, and their best skills were heavy infantry.

But then, the Jianzhou Jurchens annexed other Jurchen tribes and acquired cavalry. They then used this to conquer the Mongolian tribes and consolidated the advantages of the cavalry. Later generations have always believed that Jianlu was a nomadic people.

The Ming army's firearms were powerful, so Jianlu treated Kong Youde and others who surrendered to be kings, because Kong Youde and others were able to make up for Jianlu's shortcomings in firearms.

Therefore, the later Jianlu was actually a force with a complete range of troops.

This time, Zhang Mingwei led his troops to come, and his troops were smaller than Jianlu, but he was confident in restoring Liaodong. He was the new weapon that Jianlu did not expect in the army.

During the First World War, we must give full play to the power of new weapons, catch Jianlu off guard, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Of course, Zhang Mingwei has been fighting for so many years and is no longer a weapon theory. The elite of the imperial officers and soldiers is the basic guarantee.

"After the order!" After hearing this, many generals understood the importance of this sentence, they all shouted in unison.

Zhang Mingwei swept their faces one by one, and was still very satisfied. He was confident that these generals no longer needed to emphasize military discipline by themselves, and there would never be any incidents in which anyone dared to escape during the Battle of Songjin.

The reason is very simple, rewards and punishments are clear, giving them confidence in victory, that's it.

Afterwards, all the generals returned to their own army and formally launched an attack on the Jianlu.

Facing a battle of more than 100,000 people, Zhu Mai was also a little excited.

It’s not that she had never seen such a scene. When she was fighting against Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai’s coalition in Kaifeng, there were more enemies than this.

However, this time, facing Jianlu, what is more important is that the result of this battle will determine the decisive battle of the court to restore Liaodong.

This has always been the expectation of all the people of the Ming Dynasty, the wish of her father, and an urgent wish in her heart.

Because Zhang Mingwei and Emperor Chongzhen said that when Jianlu was destroyed, it was the time when he married her. Following the example of the Han Dynasty's cavalry general and not destroying Jianlu, how could the family be done?

In response, Emperor Chongzhen agreed immediately.

In short, I am an old girl! If I can destroy Jianlu this year, that would be the best!

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhang Mingwei's side face again and found that he was staring at the front with all concentration. His serious expression was as beautiful as ever!

Before we knew it, at the critical moment when Jianlu and the imperial army were about to begin a decisive battle, Comrade Zhu Mai was distracted!

The sound of war drums sounded outside Haizhou City, and the war between the Ming army and the Jianlu was about to break out.

With the large number of people on both sides, it is naturally impossible to squeeze into the official road to fight. It extends to the fields on both sides and the fields, densely packed with people.

At this time, there is a problem.

Except for the level ground on the official road, other places are all undulating and uneven.

The Ming army's side vans and Jianlu's vans all took a lot of effort to push them, and they might even get stuck and couldn't push them at all.

So, the Ming army, except on the official road, other Ming army soldiers followed the general's command, stepped out of the side van, lined up in an orderly manner, and began to advance towards Jianlu in unison.

The Ming soldiers stopped every ten steps, making Jianlu look in an orderly queue, surging over like waves, which was very spectacular.

But this military discipline surprised everyone in Jianlu.

In their impression, they were the main attackers in the battle with the Ming army, and the Ming army relied on the side van owner to guard it.

However, this time, the Ming army actually broke away from the cover of the side van and instead launched an attack on them!

Seeing this scene, Jianlu was shocked first.

The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road! The generals on Jianlu actually know this truth.

So, whether it was the irritable Haoge, the brave and fighting Duoduo, or the Ajige and others who were more cautious than them, they all ordered their subordinates to meet the Ming army.

Dorgon on the top of the city saw the troops of both sides getting closer and closer under the cover of the flanking cavalry.

Seeing that the Ming army still maintained a neat line under such circumstances, Dorgon had to sigh: "This Ming army is indeed an elite army!"

"Master, don't worry, no matter how elite they are, they can't stand the bombardment!" Kong Youde quickly expressed his opinion when he heard this, "We have deployed the Red Barbarian cannons on the official road. The Ming army's formation was so tight that it just allowed them to suffer more casualties and damage their morale!"

No matter what, he had confidence in his subordinates. This time, he chose the best gunners under his command. He was personally guided by those Folang Ji people when he was under Sun Zhongcheng's command.

Dorgon nodded after hearing this, but he said with a little confusion: "Following the speed of the Ming army's attack, it seems that there are no red cannons in the army. Don't they know the importance of artillery?"

Zhenjiang Fort was bombed by the Ming army. It was a bit strange that the Ming army did not have red barbarian cannons in such an important war!

Kong Youde couldn't answer this sentence either.

He knew exactly how heavy the Red Barbarian cannon was. He knew exactly how many people needed to push and pull the red barbarian cannons were used in field battles.

However, from the top of the city, the Ming army did have artillery, and the number of artillery was more than that of the Qing Dynasty. However, he could guarantee that the artillery of the Ming army was too light and the range was definitely not as far away as the red and barbarian cannons on the Qing Dynasty.

Could it be that the Ming army relied on the large number of artillery and wanted to use the iron shells of the Qing Dynasty Red and Barbarian cannons to approach it and then attack it with artillery? They were not afraid, did their morale collapse before this?

The main function of artillery in this era is not to kill many people, but to break the enemy's formation, disrupt the enemy's formation, and attack the enemy's people's aura.

The Ming army wouldn't have no idea about this, right?

Thinking of this, Kong Youde vaguely felt that something was strange. But for a moment, he couldn't figure out what was strange.

However, he was very sure that there were two wheels in front of the Ming army, and a group of people were pushing forward artillery, which was definitely not as long as the red cannons under his command!

Just kidding! Kong Youde thought so in his heart, it is impossible that the Ming army's artillery was lighter than the Qing Dynasty's Red Barbarian cannons, and the range was farther. This is simply a dream and impossible thing!

Just as he was thinking this, he saw that the Ming army artillery opposite stopped and immediately corrected the artillery.

"..." Kong Youde was stunned when he saw it.

Just this distance is less than the distance between the Red Barbarian cannons. What do those Ming troops mean? Are they going to fire?

When Dorgon saw it, he immediately became nervous and asked, "What's going on? Can the Ming army defeat us?"

"Back to Master!" Kong Youde still had some experience in this and quickly replied, "This distance is too far. If the Red Cannon fires, the power of the iron bullet will be greatly reduced and it will waste gunpowder."

As soon as he said this, he was suddenly shocked and immediately remembered.

Judging from the situation in previous battles, the Ming army was already very rich. The Qing Dynasty was afraid of wasting gunpowder, but it seemed that the Ming army was not afraid of wasting gunpowder because they had gunpowder!

When Kong Youde thought of this, he became depressed and quickly said to Dorgon: "Master, can the Ming army have a lot of gunpowder, so even if the power is greatly reduced, they are willing to fire?"

Before Dorgon could speak, he added in confusion: "But the Ming army's artillery was obviously not as heavy as the Red Barbarian cannons, and the range was not as far as the Red Barbarian cannons. Even the Red Barbarian cannons were difficult at this distance. What could their guns have? "

After hearing this, Dorgon was also confused. Thinking about the importance of this battle, he quickly ordered: "Our red cannons will also be fired immediately, otherwise it will affect our morale!"

Even if there is no harm, if the Ming army's artillery is firing, and the Qing Dynasty does not have it, it will somewhat affect the morale of the Qing army. After all, some of the Qing army have never seen such a scene.

"Yes, master!" Kong Youde quickly agreed and wanted to raise a banner when he heard this.

But at this moment, Dorgon said again: "Forget it, wait a little longer, good steel should be used on the blade!"

Kong Youde turned his head and looked at it. Seeing the entanglement on the Regent's face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The Qing Dynasty had shortage of supplies, especially the gunpowder, which was pitifully small. The Regent knew that it would affect morale, but he still changed his mind. There was nothing he could do about it!

Thinking of this in my heart, the order to fire was not issued.

Both sides could see clearly the actions of the two armies in front of the formation. Duoduo and others who were commanding outside the city naturally saw the Ming army's artillery to fire. In response, they shouted loudly and sent orders to their subordinates not to panic. This distance was just a tickling.

They must have spoken easily, otherwise it would affect morale if they were serious.

No matter what, the iron bullets of the cannon are not a joke, so how could it be a tickling?

Just as the Jianlu cheered each other, the Ming army had already prepared.

"Boom boom boom..."
