On the battlefield, warhorses neighed as the Houjin Army began to attack fiercely again.
This time, all of the Houjin Army went forward.
Tang Feng, who was in the middle of the army, pinched his nose as he watched Nurhachi's battle arrangements.
It had to be said that Nurhachi was quite skilled. With just a glance, he could see the weakness of his army.
The cavalrymen attacked the weakest right wing, and the infantrymen held back the cavalrymen. As for the central square formation, it was left there.
Now, Nurhachi only needed to defeat the right wing. When the time came, he would be in an awkward position if he could outflank the rear of the central army.
"Order the artillery to aim at the right wing.”Tang Feng rubbed his nose and gave the order.
"Here."
Three hundred cannons, under the coordination of the cannoneers and the slaves, slowly moved. The black muzzles were all aimed at their right wing.
"Order the cavalry to attack." Another order came from Tang Feng's mouth.
Tang Feng didn't understand the art of war, but that didn't stop him from commanding this battle.
Perhaps other commanders would consider how to win while preserving their own strength, but he only considered one thing, how to exhaust the Houjin army to the greatest extent.
Even if they had to sacrifice 100,000 Ming soldiers, it would be worth it as long as they could completely wipe out the main force of Houjin, let alone sacrificing 50,000 Ming soldiers.
"Take my imperial sword to the right wing and pass on my order. The right wing is to defend to the death. If anyone dares to escape, I will kill their entire family after this battle.”
"Here."
"Also, order the reinforcements of the three guards of Ning Yuan to immediately reinforce the right wing after entering the battlefield.”
"Here."
After a few orders were issued, the armies of both sides finally collided.
The Great Ming cavalry covered the sky and covered the earth as they charged into the formation of the Houjin infantry. The Houjin cavalry also charged into the right wing of the Ming army.
The sounds of battle and the neighing of warhorses echoed in the sky above the wilderness.
Tang Feng looked on coldly, his attention mostly on the right wing.
The fighting strength of those small fries was really unbearable. In less than half an incense's time, the Houjin cavalry had already broken through the defense line.
"Order the artillery to bombard the front of the right wing.”
When Tang Feng gave the order, the cannons that had been quiet for a long time began to roar.
Hundreds of black cannonballs flew up from the artillery position, drawing an arc in the sky before finally landing at the front of their right wing.
At this moment, the area had already been occupied by the Houjin cavalry.
The continuous bombardment turned the area into a vacuum zone, blocking the Jin cavalry's charge. At the same time, it also gave the right-wing infantry a chance to escape.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Zaijin gathered his troops and charged at the Houjin cavalry that had charged into the formation.
The battle between the Ming army cavalry and the Houjin infantry was the most intense.
Although they were the Ming army's most elite cavalry, they were unable to gain an advantage against more than 10,000 Houjin infantry. Instead, they were firmly entangled by the Houjin infantry formation.
This was the difference in battle prowess.
The 10,000 cavalrymen of Houjin charged at the 20,000 infantrymen of the Ming army. In the time for half an incense stick to burn, the formation was almost torn apart. If not for the temporary support of the artillery, the formation would have collapsed.
As for the 10,000 elite cavalrymen of the Ming army, they charged at the 15,000 infantry formation of the Jin army. Instead, they were entangled by the other party and could not break free.
The bitter war continued.
After three rounds of firing, the barrels of the cannons heated up, and a few cannons exploded. The firing finally stopped here.
The Houjin cavalry found the right opportunity and whistled through the vacuum zone, once again charging into the Ming army formation on the right.
If it wasn't for Tang Feng's order, the soldiers on the right wing would have thrown away their weapons and fled.
After holding on for another half an incense stick of time, the right wing finally showed signs of collapse.
At this moment, the sound of hooves could be heard from the direction of Guangning City. An army of more than 10,000 people was galloping over.
"Reinforcements are here, reinforcements are here."
There was a shocking cheer from the Ming army camp.
The Ming army, who had already planned to escape, was once again filled with fighting spirit when they heard that reinforcements had arrived.
"Order the artillery to fire again. Order the middle army to move to the right wing and cut off the retreat of the Houjin cavalry.”Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, Tang Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the Houjin cavalry had already entangled with the Ming army. It was difficult for both sides to separate.
The artillery could only fire at the center of the right wing because there were the most Houjin cavalrymen there.
Following the bombardment, the central infantry began to move.
At this moment, Huang Taiji, who was in the middle of the cavalry, saw the central square formation of the Ming army moving behind him. His expression changed.
Wei Zhongxian was planning to swallow up his cavalry.
When they saw the Ming army's cannons firing indiscriminately, not even caring about the lives of their own soldiers, a chill surged up.
Old Dog Wei, Old Dog Wei, you're so ruthless."
"Retreat! Retreat!"
At this moment, Huang Taiji couldn't care about anything else and shouted hysterically.
The bugler beside him picked up the bugle and blew the retreat horn.
Do you want to run? It wasn't that easy.
Hearing the bugle call for Hou Jin to retreat, Tang Feng snorted coldly.
"Middle Corps, all of you press forward.”
"Order the artillery to attack indiscriminately. Don't care if you accidentally injure your own side.”
There was always a price to pay in war. As long as they could swallow the Houjin cavalry, even if they had to pay a huge price, it was worth it in Tang Feng's opinion.
Chaos. The entire battlefield was in complete chaos.
On the right wing, Wang Zaijin, who had already killed until his eyes turned red, saw that the Houjin cavalrymen were about to escape. He gritted his teeth and led the Ming army on the right wing to fight desperately.
The formation of the middle army was also moving quickly and became chaotic.
However, it blocked the retreat of the Houjin cavalrymen.
As the Houjin cavalry charged forward, they mixed together with the infantry.
Chaos. It was chaos everywhere.
Tang Feng led the Dragon Guards and Imperial Guards and charged in. They took the lead and stirred up a storm.
The cannonballs flew across the sky and landed on the battlefield. Some of the Houjin cavalrymen and Ming soldiers were blown away.
The simple grenades made of clay pots were also flying around in the battlefield.
In the chaos, the musketeers had already thrown away their guns and replaced them with spears.
