Ming had a population of hundreds of millions and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but Houjin had less than a million people and less than a hundred thousand soldiers.
As long as the Great Ming Army didn't collapse, then after a bloody battle, even if it was two for one, three for one, in the end, the victory would still be Great Ming.
Nurhachi couldn't see that there was an endless stream of Great Ming's army gathering towards Guang Ning City from the back of North Town.
In order to mobilize these troops, Tang Feng took out his imperial sword.
Those who didn't listen to the transfer order and couldn't reach Guangning City within the stipulated time would be executed immediately.
On behalf of the heavens, Tang Feng still had the right to patrol.
Perhaps Nurhachi only wanted revenge and to intimidate the soldiers stationed in the North Town. He had never thought of fighting the Ming Dynasty during this period.
Wang Zaijin and the others also did not think of fighting a decisive battle with Houjin.
They did not even know that their Eunuch Wei was secretly mobilizing the army.
Without consulting the Ministry of War, he started a war and mobilized more than 100,000 troops at the border. It seemed like he was joking with the country and had overstepped his authority.
However, would our Eunuch Wei care about this? He couldn't be bothered.
Who was he? He was Wei Zhongxian. He was 9,900 years old in the Ming Dynasty. If anyone dared to make him unhappy, he would also make them unhappy.
The cannons on Guang Ning City were silently dismantled.
There were a total of 200 cannons, all of which were of good quality.
In the various military camps, the best firearms were gathered together. At the same time, thousands of archers were gathered together.
This part of the long-range troops was transferred to Ding Jia and Ding Yi, who led the loyal officers of all levels to command them.
Apart from that, there were also 5,000 spearmen on his left and right, fighting alongside the musketeers and archers.
4,000 musketeers, 4,000 archers, and 5,000 spearmen formed a super large square formation.
Close to three hundred cannons followed behind, commanded by a loyal commandant who was proficient in artillery.
As for the ten thousand cavalrymen of Guang Ning City, they were firmly in Tang Feng's hands.
Tang Feng's thoughts were simple. No matter what the other troops did, as long as these two troops were well controlled, the situation would not deteriorate.
Even if there was a mutiny by the Ming army, it would be enough to delay the main force of the Houjin army. When the reinforcements arrived, they could launch a counterattack against the Houjin army.
In the first year of Tianqi, the strength of the Houjin was actually relatively weak. The Ming army was completely capable of fighting the other party in the wild.
Especially in terms of firearms, the Ming army had an absolute advantage. Unfortunately, none of the generals of the Ming army knew how to use firearms, wasting such a huge advantage.
The decisive battle had already begun. Next, it would depend on who could last until the end.
Tang Feng was dressed in military attire as he rode his horse forward to the front of the army.
The 30 thousand troops of the Houjin had also crossed the river.
In the wilderness, the two sides were confronting each other.
Nurhachi led his sons and generals to the front of the army and faced Tang Feng and the others.
"Old Dog Wei, today, as long as you get off your horse and kneel down to beg for mercy, I can spare your life.”Nurhachi raised his horsewhip and shouted at Tang Feng.
Tang Feng, who was sitting on the top of his warhorse, smiled noncommittally when he heard Nurhachi's words.
"Nurhachi, if you kneel down and beg for mercy, I will spare your life and give you a share of glory.”
"It just so happens that my ceremonial supervisor lacks a few decent eunuchs. I think you're suitable.”
As soon as Tang Feng finished speaking, the Ming army burst into laughter.
Nurhachi's face darkened, and Huang Taiji and the others seemed to have suffered great humiliation. Their eyes were filled with anger, as if they wanted to cut Tang Feng into pieces.
"You're neither male nor female. You only know how to talk. Today, this king will make you die without a burial place.”Nurhachi snorted coldly.
Tang Feng didn't say anything and laughed again.
"Nurhachi, how can you call yourself a king when you're a beast who messes around with your parents and sisters? I'm so embarrassed for you.”
Hearing Tang Feng's sharp curses, Nurhachi almost lost control.
The people of the Later Jin Dynasty were originally barbaric people. They naturally would not care about ethics and morals.
A son marrying his father's daughter-in-law, a sister-in-law remarrying his brother-in-law, these kinds of things were everywhere. This was also the most despised by the people of Ming Dynasty.
Now that Tang Feng had said it in public, how could Nurhachi not be furious?
"Father, don't waste your breath on this sinister fellow.”Huang Taiji quickly persuaded Nurhachi.
Nurhachi glared at Tang Feng angrily and raised his whip.
The horn sounded at this moment.
Within the Great Ming Dynasty's army, the war drums were also beating in unison.
More than ten thousand Hou Jin cavalrymen roared and brandished their sabers as they charged towards the Great Ming Army.
Tang Feng was still standing in front of the army. As he raised his right hand, nearly a hundred modified carriages were pushed to the front of the army and lined up in a row.
All the carriages were filled with heavy bags filled with mud, protecting the infantry formation behind them.
The ten thousand cavalry of the Ming army were on the left wing, waiting for an opportunity to move.
On the right wing, Wang Zaijin and Yu Huafeng were holding down the formation. There were twenty thousand soldiers.
Although the right wing had the most soldiers, it was also the weakest because the soldiers there were a little lax in military discipline.
The artillery behind the infantry formation began to roar.
Hundreds of black cannonballs streaked across the sky, forming an arc before accurately smashing into the Houjin cavalry.
In a short time, the Houjin cavalry were thrown into chaos.
The simultaneous firing of 300 cannons was a spectacular sight. Such a large-scale cannon attack was rarely seen in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The power of the cannon was average, but when it was used together, the damage was limited. However, it was very effective against the enemy.
After the Houjin cavalry team suffered two rounds of cannon fire, the originally mighty cavalry team became a little chaotic.
Of course, the cannon fire was still effective. After three consecutive attacks, nearly a thousand Jin cavalrymen had become corpses.
As for why there were no casualties, it was very simple. Once the cavalry charged and fell, even if they were not killed, they would be trampled to death by their own cavalry.
