    The heavy snow continued to fall, and the gunshots that had been ringing for a while had stopped. The air began to be filled with a strong smell of blood, but it was quickly blown away by the ruthless cold wind.

    A group of more than 30 cavalrymen slowly rode forward. A cavalry leader in the middle shouted loudly: "The first team dismounts and cleans up the Tatar corpses. The second team continues to be vigilant!"

    "yes!"

    As the order was issued, dozens of cavalry were quickly divided into two teams, vigilant and vigilant, cleaning the battlefield and cleaning the battlefield, appearing orderly and without any chaos.

    When the first dismounted cavalryman turned over a corpse, he was startled when he saw the corpse, and then exclaimed: "Sir, these are all Tatars with the yellow flag!"

    "What? Zhenghuang flag?"

    As soon as the dismounted cavalry finished speaking, the surrounding cavalry suddenly stirred slightly, and then became quiet.

    The leader of the cavalry immediately dismounted and strode over, frowning and saying: "Hou Liu, have you seen clearly whether they are Tatars with the yellow flag? Don't make a mistake and make a joke."

    The dismounted cavalryman took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "There is absolutely no mistake. These Tatars are definitely wearing the armor of Zhenghuang Banner. If they are wrong, you will steal my tricks!"

    After saying that, he took out a towel from his waist and wiped the snow off the corpse on the ground. Soon, a well-made bright yellow armor appeared in front of everyone.

    A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the leader of the cavalry, and he loudly ordered: "Check the corpses on the ground carefully, and check their identities carefully!"

    "yes!"

    Soon, the armors on dozens of corpses were revealed in front of everyone.

    "Hiss"

    The leader took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Okay, stop cleaning the battlefield. Everyone will follow me and return immediately to report the situation to the general!"

    "yes!"

    Soon, dozens of cavalrymen disappeared on the snow, leaving only dozens of neglected corpses on the ground gradually covered by snowflakes.

    Two hours later

    "What? You discovered a spy from the Qing army, and he's from Zhenghuang Banner?"

    In a tent.  Wang Zhi looked at the Ye Bu Shu Foreign Affairs Committee standing in front of him with a very serious expression. The army was still more than two hundred miles away from Shengjing, so how could there be a sentinel with a positive yellow flag?  You must know that Zhenghuang Banner is the elite among the elite of the Shangsan Banners. He has always been with Huang Taiji and never left his side.  Ye Busuo discovered Zhenghuang Banner's sentinel. Could it be that Huang Taiji himself was not far from his own army?

    Thinking of this, Wang Zhi's whole body began to tremble. This was not because of fear.  Rather, it is an excitement that includes excitement.

    Since the rise of Pang Gang, his troops have been winning battles against the Tatars, so they have an innate psychological advantage.

    What's more, over the years, they have fought against the Tatar Zhengbai Banner, Xiangbai Banner, Zhenglan Banner, Xianglan Banner and other flags. Only Zhenghuang Banner, the most noble and powerful army for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, has not fought against each other. This is also  Everyone in the Dahua Army is gearing up, wanting to be the first to defeat this army.

    At this time, the eyes of Wei Jiang, commander of the Fifth Army Corps, became solemn.  He waved his hand to let the foreign commissioner who had stayed away all night and the soldiers in the tent go out. When only the two of them were left in the big tent, he said to Wang Zhi: "General. I found the Tatars raising a yellow flag ahead.  Scouting is certainly a good thing, but it also means that Huang Taiji is right ahead. And once Huang Taiji appears in front of us, it also means"

    "It means that the main force of the Tatars is in front of us, and the number is definitely not small."

    Wang Zhi stopped smiling and said calmly: "Of course I know this situation, but doesn't General Wei think this is a good opportunity for us to annihilate the Tatars? As long as the main force of the Tatars is annihilated, our mission this time  Even if it's half done, the only thing left is to have fun with them." Although Wang Zhi's voice was not loud, there was a faint smell of blood

    Wang Zhi¡¯s words are very effective.  Another day passed, and after the army had marched for dozens of miles, news of the approaching Tatar brigade kept coming from the night ahead.  Wang Zhi immediately ordered the army to form formation and prepare to meet the enemy!

    Under the fierce cold wind, a seemingly endless army was heading eastward against the northwest wind.  Among this endless group of men and horses, there is a group of troops all wearing yellow armor, which looks particularly tough and elite among the army. They are walking leisurely on the road with hundreds of generals wearing exquisite armor.  , under a tall canopy in the middle, a fat man wearing bright yellow armor was walking in the center riding a divine war horse.??This person is none other than the Manchu Emperor Huang Taiji.

    Although there were countless troops surrounding them to support them, the cavalry around Huang Taiji still looked around with vigilance, because if there was anything wrong with the person they were protecting, even cutting their heads off a dozen times would not be enough.  .

    "Report"

    A scout wearing yellow leather armor ran over quickly, holding a command flag high in his left hand. Wherever he went, all the Qing soldiers gave way, for no other reason than the command flag in his hand.  There is an article in the military regulations of the Qing army that if someone holds an order flag and refuses to give way, he will be punished with twenty military sticks at the least, or beheaded in public.

    The scout rode his horse without any hindrance and stopped in front of Huang Taiji. He quickly came to Huang Taiji and loudly reported: "Your Majesty, a large Chinese army group was found sixty miles ahead. They also found it."  There are traces of our army, they have already set up their formation and are preparing to contact our army!"

    Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the horse, looked slightly moved and said softly: "Oh, it seems that the Great Chinese Army is indeed different from the original Ming Army. After marching for so long, they have not even settled down the camp and are about to start a battle with our army.  Yes, it seems they are very confident!"

    Although Huang Taiji spoke lightly, his heart was slowly sinking. Over the years, he had been listening to brothers Dorgon, Abatai, and Azig saying that the Great Chinese Army led by Pang Gang was  How ferocious and good at fighting, Huang Taiji had never seen it with his own eyes.

    In Huang Taiji¡¯s heart, he has never had an intuitive understanding of the Great Chinese Army. Today, he is finally coming into contact with the Great Chinese Army. It would be a lie to say that he is not excited.  But the first time he heard the news about the Dahua Army, he was shocked.

    Huang Taiji is not a Taiping emperor who has never been on the battlefield. He has followed Nurhachi on the battlefield since he was a child, but he is very familiar with and has a way of war.  He had been fighting with the Ming army for decades and had long been used to seeing the weakness of the Ming army. Now when he heard the sentinel report that the other side had set up a battle formation and wanted to fight to the death, he couldn't help but show up.  A moment of astonishment.

    Fortunately, Huang Taiji was not an ordinary person. After a moment of shock, he quickly came to his senses and asked in a deep voice: "Have you found out the number of the Great Chinese Army?"

    "Your Majesty, I have made a preliminary estimate that the Great Chinese Army has about 50,000 soldiers, most of whom are infantry, and only about 6,000 cavalry."

    "Haha Dahua really doesn't take our Qing Dynasty seriously. A mere 50,000 people are going to have a decisive battle with our army of 100,000 people. It seems that the leading generals are not ordinary arrogant!" Huang  Tai Chi smiled brightly, but there was an indescribable coldness in his eyes.

    Yes, Huang Taiji was angry.  Thinking that he was a majestic monarch, he came with a hundred thousand troops, and the opponent's soldiers and horses were only half of his, but the opponent didn't even set up a barracks, and just arrogantly assumed a decisive battle posture, he was not afraid of being  After the defeat, there was no way to retreat, or were they despising the Qing Dynasty?

    There was a hint of coldness in his slightly narrowed eyes, and Huang Taiji said coldly: "Come here, tell me my will. The whole army will speed up their march and rush to the front. I want to see if those people have three heads and six arms."  , dare to look down upon me, the Qing warriors, like this!"

    "Cha!"

    As the order was given, the slowly marching army slowly sped up as if it had been whipped. Finally, the entire team began to run, moving forward quickly like a long snake.

    At this time, the heavy snow in the sky has long stopped, but the cold northwest wind still hangs as if it never stops.  The snow on the ground was not thick, only a thin layer, and the 50,000-strong army stood there quietly and motionless, as if it had existed since ancient times.

    "Report"

    A knight in black armor galloped from a distance, came to Wang Zhi and reported: "General Qi, the Qing army has arrived and is about to contact our army!"

    "I know, let's explore again!"

    "yes!"

    Wang Zhi, who was riding his horse and standing on a high slope, looked at the large group of Qing soldiers that were already faintly visible in the distance. There was a trace of blush on his face. He held up his telescope and looked ahead, and murmured to himself:  "Huang Taiji, come on, let me see how elite Zhenghuang Banner is, the most elite force in the Qing Dynasty led by you!"

    Following Wang Zhi's voice, small dots quickly appeared in the telescope's frame. They were speeding towards here quickly. After just two cups of tea, a rumble of horse hooves came from far away.  Came everywhere.

    As time went by, the sound became louder and louder, and eventually even the ground began to tremble. Countless cavalry seemed to be pouring in from the sky, appearing densely in front of everyone's eyes.  These cavalry are very arrogant,As if they didn't see the large formation waiting in front, they still charged straight forward, assuming a posture to charge forward immediately.

    Faced with this contemptuous action of the Tatars, there was a slight confusion in the first phalanx at the beginning, but it soon calmed down with the efforts of officers at all levels    .  )
