Ding dong.
"The host's general Cai E assisted Sun Chengzong in pacifying the chaos in Henan. The host has received 6,000 reputation points.”
The sudden appearance of the system prompt made Tang Feng overjoyed.
He didn't expect the civil unrest in Henan to be settled so quickly.
After this battle, he had probably obtained quite a bit of military merits. With these military merits and his own connections, it would not be a problem for him to advance further.
If it worked well, it was even possible to jump two levels.
If he could come to Liaodong, as long as he had some battle merits, it wouldn't be difficult to climb to the position of deputy commander.
With these 6,000 reputation points, Tang Feng did not hesitate and used them all to recruit musketeers. In one go, he recruited 300 musketeers.
As a result, the number of elite musketeers under his command reached nearly 500.
After mixing all the musketeers into the Ding brothers 'troops, the ratio of ordinary soldiers to elite musketeers reached eight to one.
In addition to the low-level officers he had recruited previously, Tang Feng had absolute control over these two troops.
"Report, the Later Jin rebels have crossed the Daling River and invaded the territory.”
Tang Feng was originally discussing with Wang Zaijin about the Liaodong affairs. When he heard the report from the spy, he stopped the topic.
"How many enemies are there?”
"About seven thousand, half infantry and half cavalry.”The scout half-knelt and replied loudly.
There were 50,000 troops stationed in North Town and Guangning City. However, the Houjin rebels dared to cross the river with 7,000 troops. This was a tragedy.
It wasn't that the Houjin Kingdom was too strong, but that the border troops of the Ming Dynasty were too weak. They were so weak that it was unbearable to look at them.
During the Tianqi era, the population of the Houjin Kingdom was less than a million, while the Ming Dynasty's army stationed in the northern territory exceeded hundreds of thousands.
However, even so, Daming was still defeated in successive battles, losing land and land. In the end, they even lost the entire Liaodong.
"Tell Ding Jia and Ding Yi to reorganize their army and follow me out of the city to destroy the enemy.”
Deep down, Tang Feng was hostile to the Houjin and the Manchu. Perhaps, this was the case for most of the Han people.
Now that Liaodong had been defeated, the morale of the Ming Dynasty soldiers was low. He decided to wipe out this arrogant Houjin army at the Daling River.
"Godfather, you can't do that. Our army has just been defeated and our morale is low. That Hou Jin has fierce battle strength. If we rashly attack now, I'm afraid victory and defeat will be unpredictable.”Yu Huafeng saw that Tang Feng was actually going to lead the army to attack, and his expression changed drastically as he hurriedly tried to persuade him.
It could be seen that the officials and generals of Liaodong were scared out of their wits by Hou Jin.
If not for the fact that there were so many people here, Tang Feng really wanted to give Yu Huafeng two tight slaps.
"I've made up my mind. Commandant Ding, Jia, Ding, and B, as well as the 13th Guard of Northtown, follow me out of the city to destroy the enemy.”Tang Feng's gaze swept across everyone present as he spoke in a tone that allowed no room for argument.
After being swept by Tang Feng's sharp gaze, everyone in the camp lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
On the city wall of Guangning City, Wang Zai, Jin Yu, Hua Feng, and the other Liaodong officials looked at the soldiers leaving the city in a mighty manner and fell silent for a long time.
Tang Feng was dressed in a military uniform, protected by dozens of powerful knights in plate armor, and behind him were thousands of soldiers.
Half of the infantry had spears on their backs, long sabers on their waists, and guns in their hands.
As for the others, they were all holding spears and carrying long sabers at their waists. Other than that, they had no other weapons.
Oh, that's not right. The team at the back had horses pulling cannons. There were as many as 60 cannons. Behind the cannons were dozens of carriages transporting grain.
"Eunuch Wei, is he planning to use such a team to fight against the Houjin army?”A deputy general said in a low voice.
Wang Zaijin also frowned slightly. It could be seen that he was not optimistic about Tang Feng bringing such a team to battle.
According to the past experience, the soldiers were fierce in combat. They were often able to fight one against two, and even one against three.
The best way to deal with the Houjin was to use cavalry on a large scale. In terms of numbers, they had to surpass the Houjin army.
But now, his Eunuch Wei was going to fight a fierce Houjin army with only guns and cannons and no cavalry.
"Cavalry, listen up. Once the war is on the right side, immediately attack. Protect Eunuch Wei back to the city at all costs.”Wang Zaijin thought for a long time, and finally gave a death order to the commander of the cavalry.
"Here."
On the city wall, the atmosphere was a little solemn. A few generals shook their heads, their expressions clearly filled with disdain.
The eunuchs had caused the country to suffer. It was a pity for those thousands of veterans.
Almost no one here thought that Tang Feng would win.
In everyone's opinion, it was impossible to win if they used infantry and the most unreliable firearms to fight the Houjin Army.
On the other side, the Houjin Army that had crossed the Daling River slowed down.
This arrogant army was the Zhenglan Flag of the Eight Banners, with a total of 7600 people. The leader of the banner was Manggu Ertai.
Aisin Gioro Mangurtai was the fifth son of Qing Taizu Nurhachi and the second Fujin Fucha of Nurhachi. He Zhenglan Flag.
When he was young, he followed Nurhachi to conquer the Ula tribe. He was brave and good at fighting, and he conquered six cities in a row. In April of the first year of destiny, he was granted the title of Heshuo Baylor.
In the 4th year of Tianming, he participated in the Battle of Sa Er Hu. He first followed Nu Er Ha Chi to wipe out the 60,000 soldiers led by Ming Commander Du Song, and then went south to wipe out the 40,000 troops of Tian Liu He. In the fifth year of Tianming, which was 1620 AD, he was ordered to pursue the Ming army all the way to Hun River.
At this time, Gu Ertai, dressed in military attire, looked at the strange Ming army opposite him and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that the Ming army had no cavalry and only infantry, Mangguertai couldn't understand what they were trying to do.
Could it be that this Ming army's infantry team was planning to fight him in the wild here?
If that was really the case, then the commander of this army must have gone crazy.
With the Ming army's little combat strength, it was difficult to even defend the city, let alone fight in the wild.
"Lord Bei, since this Ming army has come to die, then let's fulfill their wish. We will wipe them out in one go and let the Ming army in the city know that our Hou Jin is invincible.”Niu Lu, Manggu Ertai's subordinate, said loudly.
As soon as this awesome record spoke, the other awesome records burst into laughter.
Clearly, these people did not take the Ming army seriously.
To them, using seven to eight thousand infantry to fight against the Houjin army was simply suicide.
Mangguertai observed for a long time, but he didn't see any ambushes, so he relaxed.
"Everyone, attack!"
