Chapter 520

Three days are fleeting!

Although it was late July, the whole of Henan still had no rain. The great emperor was like a spider's web, which stretched into the sky, and there was no trace of green.

But today, on the cobweb like earth, the heads and flags are also dense. You can't see the end at a glance. The splashed dust just blocks out the sky and the sun, like two dust storms, is slowly approaching.

The armies of both sides had breakfast before dawn. They went out of the camp and gathered at dawn. They didn't start to move forward until the sun rose high.

Looking around, the Qin army's square array is like small squares, stretching more than ten miles from north to south, and reaching a depth of several miles. Obviously, there is a sufficient distance between each square.

The first echelon is a total of 17 towns of the first corps and the third Corps. The independent battalions are located in the second echelon. The artillery, firearm and rocket troops are located in the third echelon, and Qin Huan's command post is located in the center of the third echelon.

The platform is ten feet high, three or five feet long and three or five feet wide. There are dozens of wooden wheels under it, which are pushed by more than one young man. Obviously, it was specially built for this war, and it was built in advance.

There are war drums and gongs on it, and many flags are inserted. There is a ten foot long horn on the shelf. There are twenty small platforms on the left and right sides of the platform, all pulled by mules and horses. On it are war drums and horns.

The Allied forces will be much more casual. More than 300000 people form a long dragon. Although they seem to be inseparable from each other, they are also ten miles long from south to north, about two miles deep. 200000 Chuang troops and 100000 traitors can only be distinguished from each other by their clothes.

As for the cavalry of both sides, in order to occupy a favorable position, they began to fight each other at dawn, and they fought in a hot and hot day. Finally, the 30000 eight flags led by Dorgon won the top prize, occupying the highest hillside in a dozen miles of square circle, overlooking the whole battlefield.

Although Cao Bianjiao was unconvinced, the Mongols under his hand didn't work hard. They tried to seize the mountain bag several times, but they all lost their troops. Finally, they were ordered by Qin Huan. They were unwilling to give up competing for the mountain bag and returned to a small hillside several miles away.

This time, more than 30000 Mongolian cavalry and more than 20000 Han cavalry were all under the unified command of Cao Bianjiao. Only Xiaocui and 5000 female cavalry stayed in the third echelon.

Obviously, Qin Huan didn't want the five thousand female soldiers to face the elite of the eight banners. This was not a fight, but a battle of life and death.

From Dourgen's desperate to seize the powerful hill, we can see that the elite of the eight banners will definitely rush into the array with cavalry.

Qin Huan knew that his tens of thousands of cavalry could compete with the thirty-eight thousand banners, but if he spared, he would probably not win.

Although the eight flag cavalry often avoid war, it does not mean that people are really afraid of death and dare not charge, but there are few eight flag cavalry, and they don't want to fight as a last resort.

As for Wu Sangui's 20000 guanning cavalry, they did not participate in the competition between the two sides. They honestly occupied a highland in the north, at least more than ten miles away from the battlefield. Qin Huan, dorgun or Li zichengdu did not take care of it.

It's impossible to say that dorgun and Li Zicheng didn't think about whether Wu Sangui would mutiny, but it's useless to think alone. Wu Sangui wanted to mutiny, and they couldn't stop it at all.

It is unrealistic to kill Wu Sangui in advance. The 20000 guanning cavalry of others is not vegetarian. Moreover, Wu Sangui may not betray, so they can only pray that Wu Sangui will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Don't turn against him at the beginning.

Perhaps seeing that the 38000 flag cavalry took the lead in occupying the favorable terrain, Li Zicheng and his generals, as well as Geng Jingzhong, Hong Chengchou and other traitors, saw a lot of hope.

After all, during the war, 30000 cavalry rushed down the hillside from a commanding position, and the critical moment was enough to decide the outcome. Both Hong Chengchou and Li Zicheng knew this.

Dorgun can only hand over 100000 traitors to Hong Chengchou for unified dispatching and cooperation.

When the sun was burning in the sky, the three cavalry all turned over and dismounted, sat on the ground, comforted the horses, refreshed and waited for the infantry of both sides to approach. Until most of the water in the water bag was drunk, hundreds of thousands of infantry of both sides drew close to about a mile and tied their feet.

For a moment, the whole battlefield was silent. Everyone held their breath. Dorgun stood on the hill and looked down at the overwhelming army on both sides. His throat was also wriggling.

The eight banners and the Mongols also lost their relaxed laughter just now. The people who just took a nap on the ground hurriedly got up and played a twelve point spirit.

Qin Huan's position was also very high. He could basically look down on the whole battlefield. He put up a shed and looked around for a while. The whole clothes and trousers were soaked with sweat. He wanted to pull off his cloak, take off his armor and command shirtless.

Qin Huan, who had been hiding on the high platform all the time, not only had an umbrella, but also had female soldiers fanning the wind. It was conceivable that other ordinary soldiers were so embarrassed.

Even when they came, all the cotton armor was removed. They only wore ordinary military uniforms and a rattan helmet hat, but they were still fished out of the water. The sweat beads on their heads fell to the ground. The sweat in the palm of their hands holding the weapon was wiped and wiped, but they couldn't dry.

The salt water in the bamboo water bag also drank to the bottom. Everyone narrowed their eyes and was hot in their chest. They wanted to kill him immediately and vent their joy.

The coalition had no salt water. Except for some generals with water bags, others were thirty or forty people with two buckets, which were carried by one person and drank while walking.

Moreover, they also don't wear armor, because if they wear cotton armor in this weather, they may have heatstroke and become lambs to be slaughtered before fighting, so they might as well wear a single coat.

This is also the war in ancient times. It rarely happens in summer. Most of them choose spring and autumn or winter.

"Shit, I just chose a good weather. I told you to kill or capture dorgun alive. Li Zicheng, marquis, silver reward, ten beauties, kill the enemy's senior generals..."

Qin Huan just looked at it for a while, wiped the sweat on his face and began to promise.

"Your Majesty has an order to kill or capture the puppet emperor Li Zicheng and the slave chieftain dorgun..."

With the ten great men, Qin Huan's words were shouted out word by word in unison, and the officers of each square array shouted, which spread all over the army in a moment.

"Kill! Kill! Kill... "

At this moment, more than 300000 people were almost red eyed, and everyone seemed to become a bloodthirsty beast. The murderous spirit began to permeate the whole battlefield.

Everyone has forgotten the timidity, only killing the enemy, meritorious service, money, beauty, Duke and Hou for generations.

Similarly, all ordinary soldiers know that this is their only chance to move from a mud leg to an upper class life and honor their ancestors.

Since ancient times, every chaos in the world has been a major reshuffle of women's redistribution of wealth and status. As long as they dare to fight and risk their lives, everyone has a chance, which is the essential difference between China and Western countries.

Qin Huan's ambition was not inferior to that of the founding kings of the past dynasties. His pursuit of men was clear. It was nothing more than a woman of status and wealth. Therefore, he always took a three pronged approach and smashed it at the same time.

Now King Qin has almost mastered the fact that 80% of the beautiful women in the world. It is well known, so let alone that ordinary soldiers can't resist Qin Huan's personal promise, even the generals began to blush.

Looking at the momentum of the Qin army, it rose like the wind. Li Zicheng was unwilling to show weakness and also began to promise.

Hong Chengchou can only be ambiguous and perfunctory.

Therefore, before the war, the Qin army completely suppressed the coalition army in momentum, which is the unique advantage of the founding emperor.
