    "The artillery is focused on shooting at the opponent's cavalry. The musketeers on both wings pay attention to defense and do not let the opponent's cavalry break through the camp. The throwers of the servant army are ready. When the opponent's cavalry rushes close, use grenades to break the opponent's cavalry formation.  !" As the two armies faced each other, military orders came out of Li Anliang's mouth one after another. The messenger next to him was also extremely busy. Not only did he have to convey Li Anliang's orders as quickly as possible, but he also had to ensure that there would be no mistakes, otherwise it would probably cause serious consequences.  A war lost.  The three Jianzhou guards joined together. Although the Jianzhou left guard was crippled, the other two guards still maintained their full strength. Together, they numbered more than 30,000 people. In addition, the remaining Jianzhou left guard  With several thousand people, the three guards together organized nearly 40,000 troops. Although their strength was still somewhat behind Li Anliang's army, this gap had been narrowed a lot.  The Jurchens mainly make a living by hunting. The so-called hunting is actually more primitive than nomadism. It can literally be understood as hunting around to obtain food. When the prey in one place is almost eaten, they will migrate to another place.  a place.  However, although this lifestyle is primitive, it has created the Jurchens' strong bodies and extraordinary hunting skills. Therefore, as long as they are adult Jurchen men, they are excellent warriors, and the Jurchens also like to hunt on horseback, and their horseback shooting skills  Their kung fu is no worse than that of the Mongols, and they also have no shortage of war horses. Therefore, when fighting in the wild, the Jurchens mainly rely on cavalry.  It is precisely because of this that at the beginning of the battle between Li Anliang and the Jianzhou Three Guards, he encountered a cavalry raid by the Jianzhou Three Guards. Fortunately, Li Anliang had already found out the situation of the Jurchens clearly beforehand.  Before the war started, he had already imagined various situations he would face.  So when facing the Jurchen cavalry raid.  But he arranged it in an orderly manner.  Although the Jurchens' cavalry were powerful, they actually had no experience in large-scale battles with the Ming army. In the past, when they went south to plunder, they usually acted like bandits and fled when they encountered large groups of Ming troops.  The Ming army will catch up and eat them. When there is a loophole in the Ming army's defense, they will immediately rush in.  Then they would loot and get enough food and money and then go back. They would never face the Ming Dynasty's army head-on.  It is precisely because of the above reasons that although the Jurchen cavalry are powerful, they have no experience in fighting the Ming army, especially in dealing with artillery. Therefore, when the Ming artillery bombarded the cavalry camp,  At that time, the Jurchens on the horse were doing better, but the horse under them was very frightened.  After all, the fear of loud noises is an animal's instinct, and some horses were even frightened on the spot.  He didn't listen to the control at all and instead ran around randomly.  Although Fuman had fought with Li Anliang's army for two days before, it was mainly a city defense battle and no Jurchen cavalry was dispatched, so he did not expect that such a situation would occur. In contrast, the leaders of the other two guards  I was even more at a loss.  Li Anliang saw that the effect of the artillery was far beyond his expectation. He seized the opportunity and immediately sent out a group of musketeers to charge, disrupting the formation of the Jurchen cavalry at the front. The Japanese slingers behind also began to move forward.  Grenade was used to disrupt the Jurchen cavalry again, and finally the Japanese army launched a counterattack against the cavalry. Although charging the cavalry with infantry would suffer some losses and even cause unplanned casualties, Li Anliang did not care about the casualties of the Japanese at all.  It seems that as long as the Jurchens can be defeated, even if they kill all the 50,000 servants, it will be worthwhile.  The Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens combined nearly 100,000 people, and they gathered on this small plain to fight desperately. The battle on the battlefield was extremely tragic, and people died in the first second. The Jurchens were fierce, and the Japanese were ferocious. Both sides had already  The short Japanese would even get under the horse's belly to hurt the horse first and then kill the enemy. Although this may cause serious injury or even death, no one cares at this time.  Li Anliang stood at the rear of the battlefield with a cold face. He didn't pay attention to the casualties of the Japanese servant army. After all, this army was trained just for this day. Then when he saw Jurchens dying in the servant army,  In the hands of the Jurchens, an indescribable feeling of joy arose in my heart. As long as this Jurchen army is defeated, the entire Jianzhou Jurchens will no longer have any defensive power. By then, the opponent will be like a woman who has taken off her clothes. What do you want to do?  He can take revenge, and even the imperial court will not interfere, because this was one of the conditions for dedicating North Korea to the imperial court.  "General, the morale of the Jurchens is very high, and they dare to fight hard. If we continue to have such a head-on confrontation, I am afraid it will cause us a lot of casualties!" At this moment, Xu Cheng next to him suddenly said, although most of the people on the battlefield died.  It is a servant army, but in Xu Cheng's view, this Japanese servant army has good combat power. It would be uneconomical to lose it to the Jurchens like this.  "General Xu doesn't have to worry about the servant army. The purpose of establishing this army is for this moment, and the Japanese?We should not maintain a strong army. Even if this army is now in our hands, it is still unsafe. Therefore, this war against the Jurchens must not only eliminate most of the Jurchens, but also  Consume this army of servants.  "Li Anliang looked at the cruel battlefield in front of him and said softly at the same time. Xu Cheng couldn't help but shudder when he heard Li Anliang's words. Originally, he thought that after the experience of the battlefield, his heart was already as hard as stone, but he didn't expect that Li Anliang  An Liang was even more cruel than himself. He had obviously brought out the servant army in front of him, but he didn't expect that the other party had planned to let this army die in Liaodong from the beginning. This kind of behavior can no longer be treated with a hard heart.  To describe it, even Xu Cheng couldn't help but feel a little cold when he was standing next to Li Anliang. Li Anliang also noticed Xu Cheng's expression, but he did not explain, but smiled and said: "In addition, General Xu doesn't have to.  We are worried that we will consume too much in the battle with the Jianzhou Jurchens. As long as we can destroy the Jianzhou Jurchens, several state capitals in North Korea will also send troops at the same time to attack the wild Jurchens with us from east to west. As for the Hercynian Jurchens, Your Majesty  It is planned to let the three Duoyan guards after the surrender deal with them, especially the Funing guards. Although they have not surrendered yet, they are not far away.  " "The general understands!  "Although Xu Cheng has a bright future, in this expedition against the Jurchens, the real commander is Li Anliang. There are many military arrangements that are kept secret and only Li Anliang knows about them. Now the other party will take the next step."  The military deployment told him, on the one hand, it was to reassure him, and on the other hand, it also allowed him to consider the next military action. Li Anliang's 50,000 Japanese servants, plus 10,000 Ming regular troops, combined with the 40,000.  The three Jurchen cavalrymen in Jianzhou met and fought for several days on this small plain. The battle was extremely tragic from the beginning. There were corpses everywhere on the battlefield. Among them, they were wearing fur coats and had bare heads, except for a piece of hair on the back of their heads.  The ones with braided hair were Jurchens, and the short ones wearing simple leather armor were the servants. There were also some corpses of Ming regular soldiers among them, but the number was not large. A few days later, both sides suffered heavy casualties.  Exhausted, the Jurchens and the Ming army are now like two giant beasts that have been fighting for many days. Although they are scarred, they refuse to retreat. Therefore, the two sides are now competing for endurance and pain tolerance. Only a certain  This war will only end if one side cannot bear the casualties and retreats. It will be another few days of brutal fighting. Almost everyone in Li Anliang's army was wounded, and more than 10,000 of his servants were killed, and they were extremely injured.  It was so serious that thousands of people were almost impossible to survive. Even the regular army of the Ming Dynasty lost more than 1,200 people. As for the Jurchens on the other side, although there is no exact statistics, Li Anliang estimates that the casualties on the other side are definitely not high.  After all, there are many doctors in the Ming Dynasty's army who can treat the wounded in time, but the Jurchens do not have such good medical conditions. There are more than 20,000 Jurchens.  Casualties, this is simply a miracle. You must know that they only have 40,000 people in total, and now the death rate has reached 50%. Although this is the cumulative number of casualties over several days, it is also very remarkable. After all, for an ordinary army  , as long as there are more than 20,000 casualties in the army, the army will generally either collapse or surrender directly. However, the Jurchens relied on their determination to defend their homeland and their tenacity tempered by the mountains to withstand life and death.  Of course, the Japanese servant army also performed well, but they were not an ordinary army. When this army was first established, Li Anliang had already instilled in them a belief that after they joined the servant army.  , the whole life no longer belongs to the individual, but to the Ming Empire, and as long as they die in battle, their families will receive the best care in the Japanese country, and their future descendants will also become the new nobles of the Japanese country, so they  Not only are they not afraid of death, but they also expect the honor that death will bring to them and the happy life of their families. The two armies each have their own beliefs and have enough reasons to fight, so the fighting on the battlefield becomes more and more fierce, but the Jurchens side.  After all, the number of people was at a disadvantage, and their equipment and supplies were also very poor. Especially after so many days of fighting, their supplies could not keep up, and their physical strength naturally declined quickly. On the other hand, the Ming side brought enough  supplies, so the situation on the battlefield slowly began to shift towards the Ming side. In addition, the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the front, was recuperating and preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Jurchens at the right time.  (To be continued)
