The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month marks the end of the year.

As Wang Yan is a qualified elder brother, his subordinates naturally let go. Different from last year when there were only 3,000 soldiers, this year there are more than 30,000 including military households and so on. There are hundreds of officers, master craftsmen, doctors, three or two small civil servants, etc. who are enough to have a meal with him. , naturally I can’t drink with my subordinates like last year.

So Wang Yan just went out to Yixian County in the early morning, worked hard in Panshan and other places, said some auspicious words and returned to Jinzhou City in the afternoon to start celebrating the New Year.

The big-headed soldier didn't say much. On the scorching hot stoves in the rooms, a group of rough guys were noisily drinking, eating, and bragging.

Wang Yan, on the other hand, was drinking and having fun together with hundreds of people in the backyard that was sealed with glass by some craftsmen in front of the government office. The women and children of this group of people are all in the general's mansion, and are taken care of by his four women.

Although they had only been together for a year, and most of the hundreds of people had joined this year, everyone still tacitly joined in the repertoire and drank Wang Yan's wine.

Wang Yan can't do it this way, there are too many people there, and no matter how drunk he is, he can't fuck so many people. Halfway through the meal, he, the eldest brother, was kicked off the stage by a bunch of people who couldn't tell what their facial features were. The remaining people were shouting about punching fists and fighting for wine, and they stopped at midnight...

As for the issue of drinking and hangover in the army, Wang Yan took a relatively open view and considered it a holiday during the Chinese New Year. Moreover, there are no entertainment activities these days, and they are all a group of killers. What else can they do if they don’t drink and brag during the New Year.

Besides, there are a lot of these big-headed soldiers, and no one really wants to die. The soldier's manual clearly states that if we fight early tomorrow morning, whoever is not in place will be demoted to the army.

Normal duty personnel are also arranged, and they can react to emergencies to maintain a certain degree of combat effectiveness. And besides Huang Taiji, no one would come to beat him. Huang Taiji is now in a mess internally, and such a cold weather is not good weather for large-scale battles. Even if the war starts in winter, Huang Taiji will not be able to provide enough logistical materials, so it is not a big problem.

Wuchen year, the first day of the first lunar month, Guihai, February 5, 1628 in the Western calendar, the Ming Empire changed the year to Chongzhen, which was the first year of Chongzhen.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, someone from Ningyuan summoned Wang Yan to come over and receive the order.

Wang Yan rode to Ningyuan in confusion. He didn't know what the order was. It wasn't until he heard the eunuch reading the imperial edict that he was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief and made a general of the country. He also encouraged Mangui and rewarded him with fifty taels of silver. Wang Yan thought for a moment and understood Zhu Youjian's intention. .

Why don't you say that the emperor Zhu Youjian didn't give it to you for free? This little conspiracy worked quite well.

Needless to say, this move will indeed cause some trouble to Wang Yan. Although Wang Yan also distributed money to other generals and guerrillas, the relationship was indeed close. But that cannot hold up a real official position. After all, once you have an official position, making money is not easy and enjoyable.

Although the troops and horses under Wang Yan's command were actually far beyond the standard, he was still a general in name only. Reality but no name and realness and name are two completely different things.

Dozens of generals in Liaodong were all in their thirties or forties, either because of family connections or because they were struggling in the army. How could they not be able to fuck an eighteen-year-old like him in the end? Who the hell can accept this?

After giving enough money and sending away the eunuch who delivered the order, Mangui frowned and said, "The emperor has any objections to us?"

"Sir, he has a problem with me."

"Why?"

Wang Yan sat down calmly, picked up the tea cup, scraped the tea leaves and drank the tea. Now he is the deputy commander, which is enough. Besides, based on his relationship with Man Gui, this has already been the case.

Mangui understood the meaning, waved his hand and said to the little maid standing waiting and the soldiers outside: "Everyone, go down and close the door."

Sitting on the upper hand, Mangui also drank tea: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Hey..." Wang Yan let out a long sigh and said, "My lord, now that the matter has come to an end, I won't hide it from you. Do you know how many concubines my subordinate took in last year?"

Mangui nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I know, the whole Liaodong is talking about you, saying you are fierce enough..."

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "How do you think the late emperor died?"

"There were rumors before that someone was plotting against someone and tampering with the newly built treasure ship. But later they dropped the matter and just said that the late emperor contracted the cold and died." Man Gui frowned: "Why, it has something to do with this matter. ?”

"I'll tell you the truth, my lord. I have definite information to prove that the death of the late emperor was committed by the original King Xin and the current emperor Zhu Youjian in collaboration with people from the Donglin Party."

"Hiss..." Man Gui took a breath. Although he had doubts before, he didn't expect that there were so many things behind his back: "Is that true?"

"Those women under my subordinates were the participants at that time. Even...even one of them was Zhu Youjian's woman..." Wang Yan looked at Man Gui with wide eyes and said, "The women sent out by my subordinates at that time were... The caravan guards encountered these people and were intercepted by the Jin Yiwei and the Beijing camp troops. They impulsively rescued them, which led to today's disaster..."

"You...this is...ah..." Man Gui didn't know what to say for a moment. How could he have thought that Wang Yan was so pissed off that he would dare to put a hat on the emperor?

"The matter has come to this, it's useless to talk more." After a long time, Man Gui sighed: "This matter is not something that can be brought to the table. Now that the emperor has promoted you to the position of deputy chief soldier and put you on the fire, this matter is just First, more importantly, it is because you are now in the limelight, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the number one in Liaodong. Also, all the money you earned has been used to raise soldiers, and you have made friends and formed cliques. This is true in the royal family. It’s just treason in his eyes.”

"Hey... After all, our Liaodong is stable and has a lot of money, which makes people jealous. This time, I am just using you as a raft to operate. Now it seems that Pingliao is not just talking. The emperor and the ministers in the court are displeased with us..."

Man Gui sighed for a while, excused Wang Yan for a while, and stared at Wang Yan seriously: "Go back and get the money and give it to all the generals in Liaodong to ease the current situation. In fact, they are not stupid, they can do it. I can see what the emperor means, but the human heart is the most complicated, there is no guarantee that someone will sell us out."

"Also, Jiannu must not take it lightly. At this time, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that both you and I will be killed..."

"Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of it as soon as I get back." Wang Yan responded: "Actually, sir, you don't have to worry. Zhu Youjian was just testing it this time. Otherwise, why didn't he just masturbate his subordinate, or put his subordinate to death? He was demoted and promoted to deputy general? Doesn't this mean that Zhu Youjian is not sure, let alone has enough power to suppress Liaodong, and does not dare to act rashly."

There is indeed nothing wrong with this. After all, he is the emperor, and life and death are not a matter of words. The absence of that sentence now means that the emperor dare not speak, let alone move.

It's just Wang Yan's title... Man Gui looked at Wang Yan deeply: "Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian, Wang Yan, that's the emperor, it's not you and I who can call each other by their names at will. It's better to pay attention. .”

Looking at each other for a moment, Wang Yancheng raised his hands in fear: "What you are trying to teach me is that your subordinates are wrong. You must pay attention to it in the future."

Mangui waved his hand: "Okay, go back and do things quickly, appease the generals, no one will look good if they make a fuss, and it will bring shame to the entire Liaodong."

"Yes, sir, I am resigning."

Wang Yan bowed his hands, stood up and walked out.

Mangui squinted her eyes and stared at Wang Yan's back. She continued to stare until Wang Yan disappeared...

After a long time, Mangui shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back.

He also saw some clues about Wang Yan's thoughts. Whether he went up to stop him or ambushed a swordsman to kill Wang Yan, he had seen the fighting power with his own eyes. Besides, this kid was very shrewd. He didn't even say if anyone under him betrayed him. What if Wang Yan desperately tried to kill him? What if we take him away? It's not a crime at all.

When it comes to mobilizing troops to suppress...it doesn't even say whether his 100,000-strong army is Wang Yan's opponent, nor does it say how many of the 100,000-strong army were bribed by Wang Yan. If Wang Yan is really killed, where will he make a fortune? He has made more money in the past two years than he has made in all the years he has been in office. Isn't that bad? Isn’t that delicious?

Furthermore, considering that Wang Yan had been running the business for two years and had made a lot of money, he was not sure if he would be beheaded by the people around him if he really launched an army to suppress it. There are many lessons for this thing... people's hearts are really unpredictable, it's good to get rich in such a hazy way...

The most important thing is, if that day comes, who knows when, why does he care so much?

Back in Jinzhou City, Wang Yan found Sun Fugui and several senior officials and asked them to bring the banknotes to give gifts to the generals in Liaodong to stabilize people's hearts.

This incident did have a certain impact on Wang Yan. After all, Liaodong, which has its own agenda, and Liaodong, which is monolithic, are definitely two different things. But to say how big the impact is is nonsense. In the final analysis, strength is the foundation.

He has 20,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 reserve troops. It's not that Wang Yan looks down on the generals in Liaodong, but even the most rubbish military under his command can win the battle even if ten thousand against ten thousand without guns. Not to mention that when he goes into battle with guns and cannons, the soldiers will definitely collapse and cry for their fathers and mothers.

So it's just a matter of giving some money. If there are really ignorant people, not only will they lose their share of money, but they will have to resort to some means.

He now has 20,000 serious soldiers, but after all, his strength is still a bit lacking. There is more than enough success but not enough progress. It is easy to gain territory, but once the territory is occupied, troops must be sent to suppress it and maintain stability. As a result, he simply does not have enough people in his hands. It is still necessary to slowly take control of Liaodong.

I can't rush to slap Zhu Youjian anymore. Although Zhu Youjian can't do anything to him, Dayi is really annoying. Recently, I have been calm and relaxed, and my head is developing well...

Spring will begin in less than two months. What Man Gui said before is right. Huang Taiji will definitely go south to plunder, firstly to grab supplies, and secondly to divert internal conflicts and turn his guns to the outside world.

But it would definitely not work to let Huang Taiji lead his army to besiege Jinzhou City again. After all, once a war breaks out here, Ming's eyes will be focused on him, and it is not good if the limelight is too great. Exposing his strength too early would be detrimental to him. But if he fights him, his strength will be exposed. It's better to just do it, show off your muscles and scare Xiaoxiao, it's a good deal.

After figuring it out, Wang Yan started training his troops again. However, his promotion to deputy commander was suppressed, and everyone maintained a semblance of stability.

At the end of February, after nearly two months of high-intensity training and a competition between the entire army, Wang Yan proportionally allocated soldiers with a combat strength between 5,000 to 9,000, and then 10,000 soldiers. The former led the latter to form an army. A total of 3,000 men and horses formed ten teams of 300 people, carrying weapons and ammunition and a supply of supplies to the Mongolian tribe garrison that had been defeated in the winter. They will help train soldiers systematically and on a large scale, and provide armor, swords, crossbows, etc. in addition to guns and cannons.

At the same time, Wang Yan forced various small tribes in Mongolia to merge into large tribes, and opened a market near the Yixian military camp, allowing some merchants and households to trade with each other and exchange materials here.

Around Jinzhou City, more than 40,000 households who had survived the whole winter began to build roads and bridges, build water conservancy projects, build societies, build large factories, and build docks on the seaside.

Wang Yan used work as a relief, handing out paper coupons stamped with his seal, made through improvements, tough and not perishable, and stamped with special certificates and certificates, with different amounts of money marked on them, which could be exchanged for survival. supplies.

Of course this thing was created so that the people would accept it and use it directly as money in the future.

The Ming Dynasty had banknotes, which were treasure banknotes produced due to the lack of copper in the early Ming Dynasty. However, due to over-issuance and non-recycling, the banknotes depreciated sharply. Wang Yan would naturally not let that happen. His coupons were issued based on the value of the goods in the warehouse. It will definitely not collapse in the short term, it is quite safe.

In the long run, is he still afraid of currency collapse? Grab the fuck.

They also sent people to the customs to secretly kidnap many old scholars out of the customs, and forced them to change their teaching methods. When the society was established, they would teach the children to read and read, regardless of whether they were boys or girls. Education starts with children, and strictly speaking, these ungrown children are the foundation for Wang Yan's future.

In fact, the serious soldiers under his command can basically recognize all common words, and the officers must be able to read and study independently. These people can serve as literacy teachers. Because if you want to become a real soldier under him, the most basic thing is to know how to read. There were various incentives in the past, but there was a group of military officers who pushed them away. In two years, it was not difficult to make 20,000 people literate.

It was just that they were considered to be a group of embryo killers who would easily lead bad children by yelling and scolding, so they were not allowed to go into battle.

Speaking of children... In the back house of the General's Mansion, Wang Yanyang was sitting there drinking tea. The two Zhou sisters, Zhang Yan, and a group of little maids beside them were staring at them nervously. Ding Baiying let Zhang Yan and her father, Dr. Zhang, take her pulse.

It was Zhang Yan who checked Ding Baiying's pulse before, but no one in the room believed her except Wang Yan, so they sent someone to find her father.

After a long while, Old Man Zhang let out a long breath and looked around at the women present. Finally, his eyes fell on Wang Yan: "My lord, it's Ximai."

"Thank you for your hard work." Wang Yan nodded. He knows this stuff best. After all, the boss given to him by the system's boss can always hit the target as long as he is willing. Ding Baiying glanced at the news and her face was filled with motherly glory. She said, "Do you need help with anything in your life recently? Don't be polite, just ask if you need it."

No matter what, this is all his father-in-law's fault, and he should be taken care of. This title was really embarrassing. He didn't know what other people's concubines called their fathers. He couldn't name them. Instead, they called him "sir"...

"Thank you, everything is fine. Xiaoyan usually takes a lot of things when she goes back." After thinking about it, Old Man Zhang said deeply: "Even Xiaoyan and the Zhou sisters are not young anymore, um... about the children. You’d better be more attentive…”

This was because he knew that Wang Yan had a temper and could understand what he said. Otherwise, he would not have dared to say this to Wang Yan even if he had the guts.

"Oh...Dad..."

Zhang Yan on the side saw her father say this and ran to the side with a blushing face.

She has adapted to it now, and she is unable to resist, so she is accepting it quite well now. She had never seen, even heard of, all the food and clothing in this mansion. Moreover, Wang Yan never keeps a woman in the back house, nor does he care what the woman does. When she has nothing to do, she will go home to see her father. She can even stay for two days without any problem, and she can also go to the designated doctor. The hospital where doctors and doctors studied and diagnosed diseases, followed the study, and lived a very happy life.

Wang Yan glanced at the shy but admiring women with a smile, nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

"She is in good health. As long as she pays attention, there will be no problem." Old man Zhang stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back if nothing happens. There are a lot of things waiting for me. If there is any problem, just call me."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "I'll give it to you."

Old man Zhang refused and said, "Don't offend me, old man, just stay." After saying that, he turned around and went out. He comes from a small family, and he is lucky enough to have a girl fall in love with others, so why would he dare to let others give her away? That's different from saying you'd like to have a child. That's just ignorant.

As soon as Old Man Zhang left, the remaining Zhou sisters, Zhang Yan and a group of little girls who had not grown up gathered around Ding Baiying.

Zhang Yan said proudly: "I just said it was Ximai, but you didn't believe it, so you should believe it now."

"Yes, yes, I blamed you wrongly. It's all my fault." Ding Baiying looked at her funny, then glanced at the Zhou sisters: "What? Are you envious? Why are you looking at me like this? Looking for the eldest master? .”

Wang Yan from behind smiled and drank tea: "Don't be anxious, just let nature take its course, let nature take its course."

Although his back house is relatively peaceful, there are still some precautions that should be taken. It didn't matter before. Now that Ding Baiying is pregnant, the other three women have their own ideas. It's normal to not fall behind others.

It's just that their age is not that interesting. That is to say, Ding Baiying is older, so she is 24 this year. One of the Zhou sisters is twenty and one is nineteen. Zhang Yan is even worse, only seventeen years old. Wang Yan was enjoying it while cursing this damn era. Except for Ding Baiying, the Zhou sisters are okay, but Zhang Yan is not good enough. It is unhealthy to have children too early, and they come one by one.

In the future, he will seriously promote the implementation of the policy of marrying and having children after the age of 18. Any big boss who dares to fucking break the ban can't be shot. After all, they are all labor force, sent to dig mines, build roads, and develop their surplus value. We will study the specific sentencing standards later, but remember them first.

Zhang Yan just arrived, and she was somewhat unable to let go. The Zhou sisters are different, with beautiful eyes and pretty faces: "Master~~~"

The wave that is calling out in a small voice is turning three times and going around three times. In Ding Baiying's blank eyes and Zhang Yan's shyness, Wang Yan stood up directly and carried the Zhou sisters one by one into the bedroom...

The love between children and long-lasting love is the adjustment, and the main theme is the fierce battle and iron horse.

On March 17, Wang Yan stood on the wall of the north gate of Jinzhou, looking at the densely packed and well-formed tens of thousands of horses below. He pulled out the long sword from his waist that had not drank blood for a long time, pointed towards the north, and used all his strength. He shouted with all his strength: "Go out and kill the slaves."

The personal guards around him acted as a sounding board, shouting in unison and repeating Wang Yan's order just now.

For a moment, a neat and powerful sound of "killing slaves" rang out from the military formation below, resounding through the sky and shaking the surrounding areas.

People in the city and outside the city followed the sound. Although they couldn't hear anything, they knew that it was their protective umbrella.

Standing on the city wall, watching the army march north, Wang Yan turned to Sun Fugui beside him and said, "I'll leave the family to you."

Sun Fugui's chest thumped loudly: "Don't worry, sir, I promise there will be no problem."

Wang Yan didn't say any more, patted Sun Fugui on the shoulder, led his guards down the city wall, and rode towards the front of the army while shouting.

As the saying goes, strike first and gain the upper hand, strike later and suffer disaster.

Wang Yan had thought about it before. Huang Taiji would definitely be dissatisfied with him, and he would have to do it for a while, so it was inevitable that Huang Taiji would go south to beat him this time. Anyway, whether he was beaten or he hit others, he showed his strength, so he would never let Huang Taiji come to his door to fuck him, so he took action first. As for the order? But there is no such thing as that.

In this battle, Huang Taiji was secondary. What he wanted to beat was Zhu Youjian, and he wanted to slap Zhu Youjian in the mouth. Although he said he was holding back for a while, Liaodong has indeed become a little impetuous recently, and Zhu Youjian has also made a lot of moves. Some civil servants in Shanhaiguan have been transferred frequently recently. I heard that they even met with Sun Chengzong alone? Is this because Yuan Chonghuan can't do it? Has he been replaced?

This battle is about fighting politics with a strong fist. It is to let Zhu Youjian, the careful civil and military officials, nobles in the court, and the Liaodong generals understand the situation clearly and know what strength is. He also let them know that he, General Wang, is now the little overlord of Liaodong. If he is not completely sure and is not ready to break up, then he should be honest and don't make any moves.

The food and fodder for the attack are always ready, and the military households with reserves can just pull them away. The reason why I chose today is because Mr. Wang made some predictions on his own. Today is auspicious and the Emperor's Star is setting in the north. It is the best time to set up camp and use weapons...

This time Wang's words could be said to be heard by everyone. In addition to leaving a thousand soldiers and horses to guard Yixian and Panshan, most of the other troops went directly north to attack Shengjing.

In addition to the 5,000 mid-range soldiers left behind in Jinzhou City, the remaining troops, including more than 10,000 reserve military households, totaled more than 23,000 people. In addition to the two groups of 2,000 troops attacking from the flanks, the total number was more than 27,000 people. , armed with guns, cannons, and explosives, their troops pointed at Shengjing.

Cannons are more difficult to make, and in such a long time he could only produce less than forty. As for the power, it is much more powerful than the Hongyi cannon anyway.

There were two groups of men on the flanks, and five cannons on each side. The one in Yixian County attacked Guangning, and the one in Panshan directly attacked Haizhou, which is today's Liaoning Province, and Haicheng, Anshan. He led his men directly to Shengjing.

Because Wang Yan sent troops out to fight when he had nothing to do, and due to the location of Guangning itself, there were tens of thousands of troops stationed here. It was not something that two thousand men could defeat. However, as long as this group of troops bombarded the city wall to scare them, they would not be able to defeat them. Just let them out of town.

The troops marching into Haizhou on the other side will certainly not be able to survive. Wang Yan's intention was so obvious, Huang Taiji saw it clearly, how could he not send someone to guard against him. But again, as long as these two thousand people restrain this line, it will be enough.

The 20,000 troops led by Wang Yan himself were the main force.

On the 18th, we defeated several enemy fortresses and small towns. After arriving in the central area of ​​​​Liaoning, we killed another 3,000 enemies before setting up camp to rest.

In fact, there are only a few important towns on the front line that have more troops stationed there. After all, after Wang Yan's troubles with the rear, there are not enough people to kill, and there are too many people to catch. Huang Taiji merges the villages and towns to station more troops. . There are too many towns in the entire rear. Now it is the time of winter and spring. Although it is useless, Huang Taiji still has to guard against Wang Yan sending troops to harass again, so Huang Taiji does not have so many troops on the front line. .

And from a normal perspective, it is not suitable for large-scale combat at this time. The road is difficult to walk and the weather is still cold, which is a test for soldiers and logistics. But Wang Yan's soldiers didn't have that many problems. Besides, he didn't plan to fight for long. It would be over in a few days. The dry food he brought was enough, so he felt the pressure of chicken feathers.

In fact, Huang Taiji received the news when Wang Yan set off from Jinzhou and both wings moved at the same time. Although he was very dissatisfied, Huang Taiji felt a little vain about Wang Yan's fierce offensive.

The reason why troops were not dispatched immediately was due to the time of information transmission and Wang Yan's position. Wang Yan was near Guangning Guard at that time. Who knew where he was going to fight? If Wang Yan surrounded the area for reinforcements, the troops he sent out would never return, so everything had to wait until Wang Yan's attack target was determined before taking action.

And the most important point is that if there is a war, he has to prepare logistical supplies. Although there are not many in the first place, it still takes some time to organize them.

Now Wang Yan has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses fighting all the way to Liaozhong. Although he is not sure, there is a high probability that he will attack Shengjing.

To be honest, Huang Taiji couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. More than 20,000 people dared to attack his lair? Drinking?

At that moment, Huang Taiji organized his troops, ordered 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, muskets, and the small artillery they had produced, and went directly to fight Wang Yan head-on. At the same time, the soldiers and horses stationed in the small town in the rear also urgently mobilized 20,000 people to station fifty miles in front of Shengjing as the second wave of soldiers and horses, and they would be moved depending on the situation. Liaoyang City, as the front station of Shengjing, is also on the alert, ready to attack at any time.

The purpose is simple and direct. The terrain in the middle of Liao is flat, which is convenient for cavalry charges. This high and low army must follow Wang Yan to fight in the field, finish the battle in one battle, kill Wang Yan, and before the Ming Dynasty can react, directly attack Jinzhou, then Ningyuan, and then Shanhaiguan... …

The picture was so beautiful that Huang Taiji couldn't even imagine it anymore. After wiping his lips clean, Huang Taiji looked towards the capital and grinned...

Huang Taiji knew what was going on with him, and of course Wang Yan also knew what was going on with Huang Taiji. When they mobilized troops and horses over there, Wang Yan knew it immediately.

Wang Yan's head wasn't kicked by a donkey, he wasn't blistered, and he wasn't squeezed by a door. Although he was confident that the cavalry was not weak, how could he play cavalry hedging with Huang Taiji in the plains? That was pure and simple. He But you can't do such a thing.

As soon as he received the news, Wang Yan led his troops east across the Liao River and found a nearby hilltop to camp to see what Huang Taiji would do next.

His current location is a hundred miles away from Liaoyang, less than 200 miles away from Shengjing, and more than 200 miles away from Guangningwei. No matter what, Huang Taiji's soldiers must not be able to retreat. It depends on whether they insist on coming to fight with them in the field, or whether they are divided into several groups to support them.

The result is of course doomed. It's just a change of hill. What is Huang Taiji afraid of? Fuck him.

Wang Yangao looked at his position in the heart of that old bastard in Huang Taiji. In his first two years or so, he killed more than 10,000 Houjin soldiers, including Banner Man Ding Na, who killed even more. Just like that, Huang Taiji didn't take him, his troops, and his guns, cannons, and explosive packs seriously? Damn it, it's a bit ridiculous.

On the 19th, Wang Yan rested on the spot and took no action. In the afternoon, the 20,000 soldiers and horses sent by Huang Taiji were in place and camped on a hill five miles away to rest. They were ready to take a rest and come over to fight Wang Yan...

Is this really because he didn't take Wang Yan seriously and just rested on the opposite side of the house while shouting loudly?

Wang Yan shouted: "Zhang Zonglong!"

"Here!" When a strong man sitting in the distance heard the voice, he immediately stood up and shouted, and then ran over quickly: "Sir, what are your orders?"

He followed Wang Yan all the way from Ningyuan. He was a big boss and his name was given by Wang Yan.

Wang Yan raised his head to the opposite side and said calmly: "Send the three thousand cavalry over to say hello. Do you know how to fight?"

"Subordinates take orders."

Zhang Zonglong nodded without saying anything else. He ran back and shouted to organize the troops. After a while, three thousand cavalry were ready to go.

Zhang Zonglong was the first to hold up the crossbow with a small explosive package: "Brothers, kill."

"kill…………"

Three thousand people shouted in unison as if they were rushing towards the opposite side.

Wang Yan held a telescope and looked at the situation on the hillside.

After a period of chaos on the other side, five thousand cavalry rushed out in a matter of seconds. Wang Yan didn't know how much. He just looked at the three thousand people on the other side who were much more than himself and made a rough estimate.

Wang Yan turned around and shouted: "The whole army is ready."

This was a perfect opportunity. He didn't expect that there were ten thousand cavalry on the opposite side, but he dared to send five thousand out in the first wave of small tests. Once this was done, it was immediately taken away. Or maybe the other side knows that he has a total of 6,000 cavalry here, and wants to fight him half-and-half...

Both sides formed an arrow attack formation, which was only five miles away, but it was shortened to two miles within a moment.

He drew his bow and nocked an arrow from the opposite side, and shot straight out. They had fire sticks, but if the cavalry charged them with all the fire sticks, wouldn't they be seeking death? If the ammunition is loaded in advance, the distance of two miles is only one shot. Archery requires at least two rounds, and those who are fast can use three rounds. Compare the two rounds and judge the difference.

Of course, no matter how good they are in riding and shooting, it will be in vain.

The distance is more than a mile, including the overshoot from the other side and the overshoot by yourself, it is within the basic range. Zhang Zonglong led his men and lit the fuse directly with the fire stick. He fired directly towards the opposite side without looking, and then turned the horse's head sideways to gain distance. The people behind followed suit, and in an instant, three thousand explosive packets were fired at them.

The people in front are most likely safe, but the people in the back really depend on their fate. Because the further back, the closer the distance between the two sides is, and they are basically within range. If his life was good, it would be fine. Or if he was injured, if his life was bad, he would die on the spot. But no matter what, the casualties are always much smaller than the cavalry hedge.

As the dense explosions sounded, Wang Yan saw the people on the opposite side flipping over, and the five thousand cavalry were directly destroyed. Of course, many of his own people were also killed...

But overall, he made a lot of money.

Located in a small hilly area, the two armies are fighting in the field, and their numbers are equal. There is no other fucking art of war. Just do it.

Seeing Zhang Zonglong turning his horse's head and preparing to kill with his gun, Wang Yan shouted: "The cavalry will follow."

The three thousand cavalrymen who had just finished reorganizing the army behind shouted and killed them.

Most of the five thousand people on the opposite side were destroyed in this wave, and the remaining horses, which had just stabilized their frightened horses, had no ability to resist at all. Zhang Zonglong turned around and fired shots with the people who rushed down from the mountain. One round was over and they were all taken away.

Then, the 6,000 cavalrymen who joined forces roared and charged towards the opposite hilltop.

But this time, Wang Yan's cleverness was always misled by his cleverness.

On the opposite side, they saw five thousand cavalrymen disappearing without even getting through. How could they dare to come down? The cavalrymen and infantrymen were standing on the hillside shooting arrows at the same time... The weather was so damn good, there was no wind at all. Standing on a slope does improve range.

Fortunately, Zhang Zonglong stopped the momentum in time and did not push forward. More than a dozen people died and he retreated.

What Wang Yan saw was that his mother wanted to slap him for being so smart and not confident.

"Go down the mountain and mount the cannon."

Following Wang Yan's order, the remaining more than 10,000 people immediately broke camp and went down the mountain.

This encounter is not necessary. You can leave them alone, but Wang Yan needs to disperse these people and let them go back to spread fear...

This is a question of morale and will. The invincible cavalry was defeated. The enemy had powerful artillery and guns with a range far beyond their bows and arrows. As these things are spread by word of mouth, little by little fear will spread, and a seed of fear will be planted in the hearts of Houjin soldiers. It was as if the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty immediately thought of running away when they saw Hou Jin, instead of trying to reason.

When he hits Shengjing later and lets the defenders in the city see it with their own eyes, this impression will be aggravated again. And Wang Yan doesn't plan to destroy them in the short term, so he just hangs there. Over time, it will become an ironclad fact that they cannot defeat Wang Yan, and their fighting spirit will be destroyed from the root.

A mile away from the mountain opposite, the artillerymen went up to take aim. More than twenty cannons were arranged in a row, which was really impressive. They tried their best to shoot arrows down from the mountain, but the chicken feathers were of no use. Someone surrounded them with shields and held them there.

At this moment, Wang Yan wanted to shout, Second Battalion Commander...

But his army has a different structure, and it is a pity that he does not have the position of battalion commander.

He waved his hand boredly, and the flag of the messenger waved and fell, and the people in front lit their fires uniformly...

After the clanging three-wheeled cannon collapsed, the impatient horse, which had been waiting for a long time, neighed loudly, and Wang Yan took the lead and rushed forward...
