Boom, boom, boom, the sound of horse hooves on the ground overwhelmed all other sounds.
At this time, the shouts in the city and the neighing of the moving slave army were all drowned out.
Countless stars of light flew from the east, beating and swaying.
In the gaps between the firelights, soldiers in full armor flashed among them.
The red and black armors were illuminated by the red firelight, making them even more majestic.
The tall horses led the mighty warriors toward the west, and the battle flags held high were fluttering in the firelight.
This was the fearless Polu army that had not been defeated for ten years.
They were really fearless and marched forward bravely.
Dorgon looked solemnly as he watched the moving red flame formation rushing toward him quickly.
This formation was extremely vast.
The forwards were already close to the rear formations of the Polu army who had arrived on the opposite side, and the rear formations were far away in the sky as if they were endless.
It was still beating and leaping out, like a sea of fire floating in.
When the soldiers from the two sides gathered together, there were loud cheers, and Wan Sheng's voice was heard everywhere, shaking the countryside.
This time it was not the shouts in the city, but the shouts of the troops outside the city.
"Old Fourteen, it seems we can't fight tonight."
Azig had already joined Dorgon.
Dorgon nodded, "I'm afraid the total number of enemy troops in the past is probably more than 20,000.
I don't know how many there will be in the future."
"Our army is already exhausted after a day of attacking, especially the Han banner.
It is really not suitable for a decisive battle at this time."
Azig looked at the strength of the Polu army and said, "But since Zhao Lie dares to lead his troops out to fight in the field, hehe, then my brothers and I will use Zhao Lie's head to make a wine bottle."
Azig sneered.
"I'm just afraid that Old Fifteen will steal it with you, and he's good at it."
Dorgon shook his head.
He had no interest in making wine bottles out of skulls.
"Brother Twelve, although it is not suitable for a decisive battle tonight, our army cannot return to the Beicheng camp.
Old Fifteen will be stationed there."
"You are right, our army must block this passage.
If Zhao Lie is allowed to sneak into the city, our army will be helpless against him with the fortified city in hand."
Azig immediately sent several Geshehars to convey orders to Duduo in the West City, asking him to stick to the camp in the North City.
He and Dorgon did not need to go back.
At this time, the sea of fire in the east is still growing.
The night sky in the east is bright red, which is very different from the dim night in the west.
Under the few torches in the west, the things under the high lightning rods seem to be from hell.
Phantom.
And to the east, the mighty knight with his tall head and horse is like a god coming down to earth, bringing bright hope.
Huang Han and Nan Yong joined Li Lu at this time, and the Tieshan Battalion of more than 6,000 people also came to meet with two torches per person disguised as more than 10,000 cavalry.
After receiving Huang Han's order, Li Lu followed the same pattern.
He immediately made a large number of torches to respond, and at the same time sent fast horses to report to the soldiers behind.
As for the special existence of the Iron Fist Battalion following them, Li Lu did not force it, because the Iron Fist Battalion moved slower and was not suitable for long-distance attacks.
At this time, the fire in the sky was somewhat exhausted.
Just when Dorgon and others thought that Zhao Lie's troops were no more than this, the fire in the sky became strong again, and another large nebula came.
This time Zhao Lie came in person, followed by the Jeju Battalion, Huaxin Battalion, and the Korean Army.
After several months of horseback riding practice, it would definitely not be possible for these soldiers to mount their horses and fight against the Huaxin Battalion and the Korean Army, but there would be no problem in marching on horseback.
Of course, their The riding skills are so good that one person and two torches can't do it, but there are fifteen thousand of them, so there is no need to pretend.

Azig and Dorgon looked solemn.
They did not expect that Zhao Lie had so many cavalry troops, which was a bit scary.
The two of them had just been deceived by Huang Han's strategy, thinking that the Shidao Camp and Tieshan Camp that arrived earlier had 30,000 people, but now there are 10,000 to 20,000 cavalry joining the formation of the Polu Army on the opposite side.
Isn't this a mistake?
There are 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers.
If there were other Ming armies, there would be 100,000 cavalry, but the two brothers would not care, they would be nothing more than chickens and dogs.
But Zhao Lie and his Polu army don't need 100,000 troops.
As long as they have 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry troops in front of them, it will be difficult to deal with them.
It’s not that the Qing army is not confident in defeating these 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry.
The Jurchen cavalry has no opponents in the field and is never afraid.
However, according to the Polu army’s resilience in fighting to the death in the past, the Qing army may suffer heavy casualties, and the most fatal weakness of the Qing army is Compared to Akito's endless manpower, their penises are too limited.
So they were the ones who couldn't fight to the death, but the Ming army never forced them to fight to the death.
Otherwise, a big setback would make the Jurchens heartbroken, and it would take ten years to recover.
Zhao Lie also received the report from Li Lu at the front.
He immediately ordered the Iron Fist Battalion to return to protect the artillery camp.
He and the 500 guards led the Jeju Battalion, Huaxin Battalion, and the Korean Army to support them.
Zhao Lie was also afraid that if the Qing army launched an attack without relief, the forwards of the Polu army would be passive.
Fortunately, he arrived in time, and the addition of 15,000 soldiers completely dispelled his opponent's preparations.
Huang Han, Nan Yong, and Li Lu immediately went to meet Zhao Lie.
"Our army has been marching for twenty miles, and the horses are tired.
Jiannu did not attack.
We were just repairing," Zhao Lie pointed at the Qing army on the opposite side who was still forming a formation without any sign of attack.
"However, our army must guard the passage to the east.
After all, the Artillery Camp, Iron Fist Camp, North China Camp, and South China Camp will follow.
The Daonan Camp is still on the way, and we must not let the large number of Qing troops attack. " Huang Han, Nan Yong, Li Lu and others took the order and left.
Zhao Lie immediately sent out several guards to arrive as soon as possible, including Ma Quanfu's North China Battalion and Guan Ming's South China Battalion, while Huang Maolin's Daonan Battalion escorted the artillery battalion and arrived together with the Iron Fist Battalion.
After all, the artillery battalion is the slowest.
If there is no With their drag, the Polu army could reach Jinan City three days ago.
After Zhao Lie finished arranging things for the rear formation, he rushed his horse to the front of the formation.
The slave-building formation in front was two miles away.
The military formations of the Jurchens, Mongolians, and Han Eight Banners were clearly distinct, as if they were not under the same battle flag.
A family is more like an ally with a master-slave relationship.
This is the current situation of the hierarchical Qing army.
It has both strengths and weaknesses.
It depends on whether the opponent can catch them.
So far, no one has taken advantage of this to inflict serious damage on them.
There weren't too many torches on the opposite side.
With the dim light and the smoke and dust everywhere, it felt like a visitor from hell on a dark winter night.
Whether China's future will be bright or dark depends on this battle.
Zhao Lie touched his short beard that was already quite impressive under his chin and said in his heart.
In ten years of life, he has grown from a young boy to middle age.
Well, In this era, middle age is reached after thirty, and the average age in this era may not even be over forty.
Looking at Sneaky across from him, he became more and more certain that God had asked him to come here to do just this, to turn the tide and restore the prestige of China, the proud son of heaven.
"Sir, the slave-building army is at the lower village."
Nan Yong's eyes were very good, and he pointed in the direction of the Eight Han Banners on both sides.

Zhao Lie looked there, and indeed, a large number of men from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty began to dig trenches and were fighting against the frozen ground.
They were really good helpers and talented dogs for the Jurchens.
What a hunting dog, Zhao Lie smiled sarcastically.
He had no intention of showing mercy to these so-called Han people who had forgotten their homeland and ancestors, and wanted to annihilate them all.
"It seems that Jiannu will not attack tonight.
He is probably frightened by our 50,000 Polu army."
Zhao Lie's words made Huang Han, Li Lu and others laugh loudly, while Li Xuan, Yantian Qingxi and others also laughed apologetically.
Indeed, there are only 30,000 troops here now, and they are absolutely at a disadvantage compared to the Jiannu army and the Polu army.
If it were during the day, I believe that Jiannu would have already started attacking.
However, the emptiness of the torches in the dark night and the prestige of the Polu army prevented Jiannu from daring to attack.
This is rare.
You must know that Jiannu's army had fearlessly attacked the Ming army in the field in the past.
This time it invaded the Ming Dynasty.
They defeated the frontier armies of Jizhen, Xuanda and Liaozhen successively, making them invincible.
If other Ming armies had used this move, they would be seeking death, but the reputation of Zhao Lie and the Polu Army was enough to intimidate this most ferocious opponent.
"Huang Han made quick decisions and used ingenious tactics to save the city of Jinan and the lives of 200,000 soldiers and civilians.
Remember, in the future, a bronze statue of Huang Han will be cast here outside the east city of Jinan, so that the people of Jinan can live forever.
Remember Huang Han, your lifesaver.”
Zhao Lie pointed here with his riding crop.
"I respectfully obey your orders."
Everyone bowed solemnly and saluted.
"Ahem, sir, is this a bit too much?"
Huang Han was a little flattered.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was no statue to praise the meritorious officials.
Even the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the former Tang Dynasty were just portraits to praise meritorious service.
Can he do it?
Huang Han was a little dizzy.
"Those who have contributed to the common people and those who have contributed to the country have statues and commendations.
In my opinion, Zhao Lie, it is never an exaggeration."
Zhao Lie pointed his riding whip at the slave-building army opposite.
"Brothers, Huang Han has left his own bronze statue of commendation in Jinan.
Those who have made great contributions in this battle will be generously rewarded.
No matter they are Han, Jurchen, Mongolian, Korean or Japanese, they can all be rewarded here.
Leaving his bronze statue behind is a tribute to the country's war, and the general will be waiting for him. " As soon as Zhao Lie's extremely domineering words came out, everyone agreed with a roar, and the atmosphere was warm.
As warriors, no matter the Ming Dynasty, North Korea or the Japanese, they are all aggrieved existences.
When did such a good thing like a statue be passed down through the ages?
Li Shimin’s Twenty-Four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are heroic figures passed down through the ages, even today their His achievements were also widely praised among the scholars.
The trend of breaking the Lu army is too obvious.
As long as this battle is won, Jiannu will no longer be an opponent, and the Ming Dynasty, haha, will have absolutely no possibility of resistance.
The victory of Conglong is a foregone conclusion.
The Lord Zhao Lie He was one of the twenty-four heroes who offered a reward for him.
The blood in these generals boiled when they thought that they could be compared with such a figure and be passed down through the ages.
"Okay, this is a matter for tomorrow.
Shidao Camp and Huaxin Camp will dig trenches tonight.
We also have to repair them tonight, and wait for the decisive battle tomorrow."

Zhao Lie ordered.
Nan Yong, Yantian Qingxi and others hurriedly bowed to accept the order.
Both sides unanimously began to dig trenches and build simple camps.
These tasks at night should not be ignored.
After all, in history, night attacks have cost many soldiers their lives and ruined their reputations
