When the sun appeared in the sky, Huang Taiji also discovered the traces of the merchant army soldiers in the old camp opposite.

These camps are very close to the mountain pass, and were originally intended to blockade. Now the Shang regiment army has made some defenses on the periphery and found that the Jurchens were in the camp behind the scenes, and many people appeared in front of the defensive positions.

There were also quite a lot of garrisons on the west entrance to the left, and the bronze horn also sounded.

Huang Taiji's face was solemn. He knew that the worst situation had happened. The enemy's breakout this time was indeed not that simple. Instead, it was to isolate the old food route and to hinder the contact between Dajin and Korqin Mongolia.

Huang Taiji was not sure what kind of reaction would happen if the Mongols discovered that the Eight Banners soldiers could not reach their tribe at will and appeared before the felt bag.

First occupy the export and the old camp, the next must be to restore and reoccupy Guangning, and of course, the Yizhou Acropolis.

If these Ming Guotuans did this, the passage from the Later Jin to the grassland would be locked.

The consequences are much more serious than being unable to defeat Ningyuan. The Later Jin Dynasty originally did not have the ability to conquer Shanhaiguan head-on. Guancheng is more difficult to attack than Ningyuan, and there are more garrison troops. Even without heavy artillery, it is difficult to attack. Therefore, Ningyuan is a very secondary target, and it is a secondary target that does not need to be captured, and it is even far less meaningful than Juehua Island.

As long as there is a closed door, the Jurchens cannot beat it, and there are heavy artillery to help defend it, so the chance is even more slim.

If the road to the grassland is blocked again, it means that the Jurchens were completely sealed in Liaozhong and Liaodong, and there was also a hostile North Korea behind them, with restless Mao Wenlong on his side, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan on the left, and Guangning on the right. This is not only a bad strategic situation, but a dead end.

Of course, the worst situation has not happened now. The soldiers on the mountain did not show too strong aggressiveness. The Eight Banners soldiers stationed in the camp did not suffer much loss. Moreover, it seems that the 13 Mountains regiment training did not have the ability to occupy Guangning...

Huang Taiji waved his hand, and two cavalrymen with about 300 people rushed out from both sides.

This is a tentative attack, or a forceful reconnaissance.

Huang Taiji needs to see the opponent's determination and ability to resist. The best test is a small-scale attack.

The cavalry spread on both wings, showing excellent training and practical experience. They cleverly avoided some pits and undulating terrain. The war horses were not injured, nor did they fall off the horse.

After approaching, the cavalry began to make strange screams and shouts, and hundreds of people shouted together, with a ghost crying and howling effect.

The Bashkus, who had small flags on their backs, were in the middle of command, and they led people closer.

There were some snatchers outside those camps, and the cavalry could not rush over directly. When they were closer, the Jurchens stood full of people after seeing the snatchers and the queue was very neat.

The cavalry team had no intention of approaching for a moment. They rode back and forth on the plain full of snow, sometimes heading straight to the north, rushing out of a broken village, and striking the camp in a manner that they attacked the north and south.

While the Jurchen cavalry were doing these things, the regiment trainees in the camp had no intention of firing fire, and the camp was silent all the time.

This is called the Jurchens having some anxiety all over the top and bottom, and the shadows deep in Huang Taiji's eyes became deeper.

Finally, the cavalry team rushed over again, and this time they planned to make a tentative attack.

The cavalry on both sides took off their insurgent bows, and they planned to shoot arrows when they approached within a hundred steps to disrupt the array of these Ming people.

When these cavalry dismounted or moved forward on horseback, there was no movement in the camp, as if there were a group of dead people standing there.

At about eighty steps, the Jurchens began to shoot. Their arrows were shot very accurately, but the light arrows shot in the past were not killed at all. Most of them could not break the armor and make an aggressive sound when hitting people, but they rarely penetrated the body. The Thirteen Mountains on the opposite side did not even lift the shield. At most, they lowered their heads and asked the arrows to fall on the penis and armor.

The Jurchens are approaching a little closer.

The campsite is very simple. Some houses were demolished in a village and some were rebuilt and rebuilt. Some ridges on the outer side had long been flattened, with some fortifications in the direction of Thirteen Mountains. On the outer side, the people from Thirteen Mountains erected wooden fences again.

On the snow, more than 300 people stepped into a messy area. The Jurchens turned around, held a bow in their left hand and arrows in their right hand. The quiver was most likely to draw arrows at the place where the arrows were drawn on their waists. They carried weapons such as swords and placed long weapons on horses a little farther away, and could be used at any time.

They began to shoot flat and drew heavy arrows from the quiver. The arrows of heavy arrows were clumsy and heavy like crescent shovels. Under the heavy force of the Qing bow, these heavy arrows can penetrate heavy armor and break ribs. After being shot into the human body, a large bloody mouth can be made on the human body. Several light arrows can shoot into the human body without causing serious damage, and one heavy arrow may be fatal.

Behind these vanguard cavalry, more Jurchen cavalry scattered, some of them were heavy cavalry, all of whom were covered in heavy armor, including horses.

The Jurchens' heavy cavalry level was far from keeping up with the Wanyan army's level back then, but it was not without them. When they encountered a difficult Ming army, they would use cavalry to rush over from the front and break the formation before slaughtering it.

These cavalry targeted the direction of the mountain pass. If the camp outside the mountain pass can be successfully broken, the main force of the regiment training inside the mountain pass may rush out again.

Huang Taiji's eyes were cold, and he didn't mind using cavalry, especially heavy cavalry, to teach the Ming people a severe lesson.

Without cavalry to protect both wings, the dull shield infantry did not have much effect. The two wings were empty. You could use cavalry to cut in and penetrate hard into the depth and behind the two wings, and then finally encircle and suppress the armored infantry.

It mainly depends on the cooperation between Yamaguchi and the camp, and also on whether the forwards who are testing the attack can use heavy arrows to kill the opponent with very powerful damage...

The initial sound of the bowstring sounded, shot flat and pulled open, the bowstring trembled, and the heavy arrow made a terrifying roar and flew towards the opposite side.

At the same time, gunfire also sounded.

Just like the distance required for a heavy arrow to shoot, the effective killing is about 60 to 80 steps. The musketeers are also familiar with the power and killing distance of the weapons in their hands. When the Jurchens raised their bows and arrows to shoot heavy arrows, nearly 500 musketeers from three companies also fired the musketeers in their hands from three sides at the same time.

To be precise, the sound of the musket sounded twice at the same time, almost at the same time.

After the first column is set, quickly back and load, then the second column is aimed and released.

At the same time, the first round of heavy arrows shot over. At least twenty musketeers made muffled groans and fell down. At least three times more gunners were hit by arrows on their bodies. Fortunately, everyone had armor on their bodies, and most of the ones who were shot were not seriously injured.

If the heavy arrows are allowed to advance and shoot at a distance, even if there is iron armor, it may cause serious injuries. Fortunately, under the first round of musket attacks, at least about twenty people fell down on the opposite side, and a considerable number of people were slightly injured.

Then the second round started and more than a dozen people were knocked down.

The Jurchens began to panic, and they were at a loss, not knowing whether they should continue to move forward or retreat decisively.

At this time, the third round of gunfire sounded again. Due to the large number of injured people, the exchange ratio between the heavy arrows and the musket began to tilt towards the musket.

At this time, the horn sounded, and the Jurchens felt relieved. They quickly retreated, dragging their injured or beaten companions.

The ground was even muddy, with blood soaked in the hard layer of soil, mixed with the soil and snow on the surface. Everyone who was dragged away left a large piece of blood mark behind, which looked shocking.

Of course, this small-scale tentative attack failed. The garrison at the mountain pass did not move, but through some sparse trees and broken houses, the main force of the regiment training could be clearly seen, with the armor shining brightly in the morning sun, and the light of the weapons was also quite conspicuous.

Huang Taiji judged from the large-scale light that there were at least about 4,000 people, and the people from the outer camp were about the size of the 5,000 people mentioned by Muhalian.

If the five thousand people performed as well as the musketeers in this camp, they might be able to eat with their current forces, but they would definitely face serious casualties and injuries.

With just one tentative attack, at least twenty people were killed. The losses on the opponent were unknown, and it was expected that there would be no Jurchens heavier.

Huang Taiji finally made up his mind. The situation here is unclear, and he cannot judge the determination and plan of the Thirteen Mountains regiment. Since it is not conducive to attacking, he can only retreat and wait for the main force of the army to come. With the power of tens of thousands of elite troops, even if he cannot attack the mountain, it is still OK to remove the enemy's stronghold at the foot of the mountain.

Huang Taiji is a person who rarely regrets it, but he regrets it very much now. It would not be impossible to attack with considerable determination when the military and civilians of Shisanshan were trapped. The price he paid at that time would definitely be much smaller than that now, and it would be much more cost-effective.

Once the Thirteen Mountains were a nail or a dark skull, but now this nail has become a spear that pierced into the heart of the Later Jin Dynasty. This pain made Huang Taiji almost unable to breathe.

The most difficult thing is to remove this spear. It is definitely OK to pull it out. No one knows how much flesh and blood will be brought out and how painful it will be.

...

Zhang Han's return from the set of units exceeded many people's imagination.

The battle of the reconciliation was thoroughly promoted in advance, and many people were full of expectations.

No one would think that the Shang regiment army would fail, especially when Zhang Han led the troops himself.

As time goes by, Zhang Han's commander halo has become strong enough and even affected all classes. No one would believe that Zhang Han would be defeated, but it took too fast to win the Tao team and recover Hetao. When the special service guard Zhang Han returned, many people could hardly believe their eyes.

When Zhang Hanyiwei appeared in front of the Qingcheng people, it immediately triggered a craze of cheers.

The battle of the reconnaissance was fought too quickly, almost beyond everyone's expectations, so the fanaticism caused was also very high.

Everyone thinks it is too smooth, it is a miracle of divine blessing.

There are also many Mongolian figures in the jubilant ocean. Most of the people who stayed in Qingcheng were Taiji, who were elderly, and many Mongolian nobles. Most of the people who stayed were followed by Hu Ji with sincerity. The better Zhang Han fought, the bigger the territory of Hu Ji, the more comfort they felt.

This is how people's hearts are. They do not resist themselves and hope that all the resisters will be eliminated. This in turn proves the correct choice and makes them feel more at ease.
