Degelei was a lieutenant under the Zhenghuang Banner. One day, when he was having lunch, a soldier suddenly rushed in.
"Reporting to Lord Lieutenant, the Wazi Valley sentry post in the northwest has reported that they have found more than a thousand Ming soldiers. They have already occupied that place and are heading towards Guangning.”
When Degley heard this information, he was stunned for a moment. He grabbed the lamb leg and placed it back on the basin.
"A mere thousand Ming soldiers dare to occupy Wazi Valley and invade Guangning?”
Degrey's eyes widened in disbelief.
However, he also knew that what his subordinates said was true. No one dared to lie about the military situation.
He just felt that this was too illogical.
After several major battles, the Ming soldiers of Liaodong did not dare to go out of the city to fight them.
Even the most elite Guanning Army of the Ming Dynasty was the same.
The 1,000-strong Ming army wanted to attack Guang Ning?
Didn't they know that Guangning had stationed the Houjin army?
Perhaps they thought that Huang Taiji had led the army into the pass, leaving Guangning empty?
There was only one explanation.
"Hehe, gather the troops. Today, we'll use these 1,000 Ming soldiers as an appetizer.”
"At the same time, send spies to the Daling River and Jinzhou to keep an eye on the Guanning Army.”
Deglei was a little afraid that this was the Ming army's scheme, but a thousand Ming soldiers had already occupied the Wazi Valley, so he could not ignore it.
However, when he thought of the two soldiers under his command, a total of 3,000 cavalry.
He was not afraid even when facing the Ming army infantry that was several times his number.
Besides, there were Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Heishan, Panshan, Liaozhong, Yingkou, Haicheng, and other places near Guangning.
If the Guanning Army dared to attack Guang Ning now, they would not be able to return.
"Where are the 1,000 Ming soldiers?"
Dege Lei had already gathered his troops, a total of three thousand people, and they could set off at any time.
"Report, according to the latest information from the scouts, they have already entered the plains.”
"However, this Ming army is fully equipped with firearms.”
The smile on Degre's face grew wider.
"All equipped with firearms? Hahaha!"
"It seems that these are the elites of the Ming army. They must be the Guanning army. Everyone, set off and let them experience the power of the Eight Banners disciples.”
There are no more than 10,000 people in Manchu, and no one can defeat more than 10,000 people.
Although this sentence was a little exaggerated, it was not much different.
In this era, cavalry was undoubtedly the most powerful, especially in the field.
If these 1,000 musketeers were to defend the city, no matter how stubborn Deglei was, he would not dare to lead 3,000 cavalry to attack.
However, if they were in a field battle, who would they be afraid of?
The firearms of the Ming Dynasty were indeed powerful, but the powerful ones were the cannons, not the unreliable guns.
Facing the charge of the cavalry, they could only fire two rounds at most.
Next, they could only face their slaughter.
The previous battles had proven this point.
The Ming army defending the city was indeed enough to give them a headache, but fighting in the wild was simply courting death.
That was why the Degrees were so happy.
"Boom boom boom…"
Cavalrymen of the Eight Banners charged out of Guang Ning City's city gates and headed towards the 1,000-man Ming army in an aggressive manner.
Zhu Heng led the line infantry unit out of the Wazi Valley and stopped.
"Order, everyone form a hollow square formation. Place all cannons in the center of the square formation and prepare to attack the Jian Nu cavalry.”
The line infantry battalion that was marching in an orderly manner immediately began to operate.
In just a few minutes, a hollow square formation was formed on the plains outside the Tile Valley.
The entire square formation was square in shape, with more than 200 soldiers on each side.
The soldiers on each side were divided into two rows.
The soldiers in the front row were half-squatting, while the soldiers in the back row were standing.
This way, they could concentrate their firepower as much as possible to cause damage to the enemy cavalry.
In the middle of the square formation, there were a total of ten 6-pound cavalry cannons.
There were also 30 cavalrymen in the center, responsible for protecting Zhu Heng.
As for the cavalry unit, they were lying in ambush in Tile Valley.
After the line infantry battalion disrupted the charge of the Building Slaves Cavalry.
They would charge out from the Wa Zi Valley and attack the Jian Nu Cavalry from the left and right.
Just as Zhu Heng was ready, the Creation Slave Cavalry finally appeared.
Smoke and dust rose in the distance as thousands of cavalrymen of the Building Slaves rushed over like a flood.
When Zhu Heng saw this scene, his expression could not help but turn solemn.
Thousands of cavalrymen of the Jian Clan charged forward with a majestic aura.
It was a huge shock to them.
After all, in the era before firearms, cavalry was invincible.
Degrez took the lead and galloped his horse.
He looked at the empty square formation in the distance and was disdainful.
"Kill, kill all these Ming soldiers.”
Without a word, he led thousands of cavalrymen and charged.
The heavy footsteps of the horses were like war drums, causing the ground to shake. The horses 'hooves kicked up dust as if they were pushing forward a wall of armor and muscles.
As long as the cavalry charged into the formation of the Ming army, they would win.
However, the hollow square formation was specially made to restrain cavalry. Was it really that easy to break through?
The clash between firearms and cavalry began at this moment.
