As he said that, Li Mingxun took two black cavalry models from the model box. This is the largest cavalry model. The color is pure black and placed on the sand table to represent the cavalry division unit. The white similar model placed opposite means a cavalry team of ten thousand people. In fact, on our side, there is only a division-level cavalry unit like the Guards Cavalry Division.

Li Mingxun placed two cavalry models in a place called Wulanzhuang at the northwest corner of the sand table and said, "Everyone, our allies, the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Three Feudalists in the southwest, led by Li Dingguo and Yuan Shizhong, have arrived at this position. It is less than seventy miles away from the battlefield. It is too timely. We can forcefully behind the Qing army!"

"Your Excellency, are these Ming troops reliable?" asked a staff officer.

"Of course." Li Mingxun's answer was not hesitant. In addition to his trust in Li Dingguo, such firmness also had other important factors. In terms of the intelligence sent by the Military Control Commission, when Li Dingguo and Yuan Shizhong led their troops through Linqing, they left the reserve officers' regiment and some non-combatants in Linqing to resettle, including Li Dingguo's two sons. Li Mingxun knew that Li Dingguo's arrangement was to win his own trust. If he did not trust Li Dingguo wholeheartedly, it would be too unreasonable.

Li Mingxun said: "Contact Officer, go back and tell Gao Feng that I will give him an hour to adjust the dispatch. After an hour, at 2:30, I will dispatch him a strengthening infantry regiment as a reserve, two cavalry regiments and four independent flying cavalry and artillery companies as mobile forces to strengthen the support regiment. Once the time comes, launch an attack according to his plan."

"Yes, yourselves!" The liaison officer responded and left.

Li Mingxun said to the left wing liaison officer again: "You go to the left wing immediately, tell Wu Xing the plan, and tell him that as the commander of the offensive group, his shrinkage disappointed me. If he and his three armies do not want to do nothing in this war, then destroy the pseudo-Ming defense line at all costs, go!"

The left-wing liaison officer looked ashen and left quickly. Li Mingxun pulled the staff officer and wrote an order with his own hands: "You should go to Wulanzhuang immediately and hand over the order to Li Dingguo, so that he can act according to the order."

The staff officer left after saluting, and Li Mingxun looked relaxed. In his order, he asked Li Dingguo to divide his troops into two groups, one of which was advancing along the canal and attack the possible Qing cavalry with the support corps, while the other group passed through Baimai Lake and took the Qing army directly behind, and the target was set at Highland No. 4.

"Send the order to the guards, the whole army will eat and prepare for a decisive battle!" Li Mingxun gave the final order. Outside the combat room, the sound of killing sounds shook the sky and the sound of cannons rumbling. Li Mingxun sat on a chair, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, looking at the sand table in front of him, and thought to himself: "If you have sex, it depends on how many points you can earn."

Soon, Gao Feng got the order to attack, and he immediately decided to lead the elite 401 and 411 infantry brigades to launch an attack and strengthen the two flying cavalry and artillery companies. However, the order he gave to the infantry brigade was to use a basic combat formation to conduct the battlefield. There was neither a column that required fast speed and easy expansion, nor a hidden formation, and its purpose was only two.

The first is to lure the Qing cavalry to take action. The two infantry brigades plus subordinates and strengthened artillery units, which together have a total of nearly 10,000 people. The Qing army cannot observe it. If such a large army is committed to the side battlefield, it will definitely affect the situation of the battle. With the combat effectiveness of the left-wing troops of the Qing army, it will definitely not be stopped. In this way, the cavalry brigade that has never appeared can only be used. As long as the Qing army's backhand is exposed, the Qing cavalry may be attacked by two infantry brigades and the support army, which is also a situation of victory.

The second is naturally steady. Gao Feng stayed for the last two of the most elite infantry brigades under his command, who were rich in experience, high fighting will, and able to adapt to the arduous and bloody battlefield. But even so, Gao Feng had to choose to be persistent. He knew very well that if the Qing army wanted to win, they had to seize their own mistakes. At this critical moment, as long as they did not make mistakes, they would definitely win. Therefore, no matter how fast the column was, Gao Feng would not need it.

After receiving the order, the 401 and 411 infantry brigades left the dense forest beside the river dam and appeared on the battlefield in combat formation. Their speed was neither fast nor slow, but their fighting spirit was high and neat battle lines, like a rushing tide, became the focus of the battlefield. Unlike the two infantry brigades' big fanfare, the Supporting Legion was cautious from the beginning. After Li Mingxun's strengthening, the Supporting Corps currently has a mixed cavalry brigade, a breastplate cavalry regiment and two Hussar regiments, strengthening some artillery. This army hid its tracks from the inside of the river dam and entered the dense forest beside the canal, and advanced with the help of the dense forest and river dam of the canal.

"Master, there is something unusual about the left wing!"

On the No. 4 Highland, Soetu suddenly shouted to Shunzhi. Shunzhi pulled out the telescope and looked at it. Between the smoke, he saw a row of infantry appearing from the southeast. However, the battlefield was too chaotic, and the smoke was lingering in the dust. It was impossible to see clearly. Shunzhi knew that the East wing soldiers against the left wing had a reserve team behind the side, so he kept sending the phalanx to pull the phalanx, which had already been involved in a lot of troops. But he was not sure how much there was, but Shunzhi was very sure. On his left wing, there were still more than a dozen phalanxes that had not been fully deployed. He was confident that he would seduce all the reserve teams on the opposite side.

"Send someone to inquire immediately." Although Shunzhi knew very well that Sukshaha, who was in charge of the left-wing attacking corps, would send people to the central army to report military information every quarter of an hour, Shunzhi had always been cautious and would send people to check it on his own, so as not to be taken care of by Sukshaha.

Soon, the envoy sent by Sukshaha came. The envoy knelt on the ground and immediately said: "Emperor, the island barbarians in the East Fan sided with more than 10,000 elite troops. General Sukshaha asked to transfer the main force to reinforce."

"Ten thousand people, how is this possible!" Shunzhi could not believe it at all.

During the involvement of the left wing just now, he saw with his own eyes that the enemy had dispatched cavalry support (actually the dragon cavalry galloped to the scene and dismounted in the field to fight in the field). He also saw that the central army Li Mingxun sent troops to support at least three times, but why was there still 10,000 people?

"It's ten thousand people, two reorganized brigades, eight battalions, and slaves can see it clearly!" said the messenger.

The eight battalions were indeed the combat power of two brigades. With the infantry and cannons, there was no problem with calling ten thousand people. Shunzhi clenched his hands behind his back and asked, "Did you see there are cavalry?"

The messenger was stunned, recalled carefully, and said, "No, there were only a small number of cavalry and cannons to use slow horses, and there were no large cavalry."

Soetu immediately said: "This is a conspiracy, intentional!"

Not to mention division-level attacks like two brigades, even if it is a brigade attack of four or five thousand people, the army will cooperate with one or two cavalry regiments to cope with the opponent's cavalry harassment. This is basic common sense.

"What conspiracy, Soetu, did you think of something?" Shunzhi asked.

Soetu shook his head, he looked at the side of the high ground and said, "Master, have the Dongfan people seen through our plan?"

Behind the Central Army Highlands are tens of thousands of elite soldiers not used. In fact, Shunzhi only sent 20,000 Mongolian cavalry in the south of the desert to the area between the canal and Baimai Lake. The Eight Banners in the west, the northern and outer gates of the desert, as well as some of the Southern and the Eight Banners and the powerful brigades in the south of the desert and the Eight Banners were not used. These elite horse stances combined had 70,000 people.

Shunzhi hid this main legion, which was naturally not that simple. He hoped to stretch the front on the left wing, attack the East Fen, and after determining the victory, he sent the main cavalry to go around to expand the results. He also hoped to strengthen the intensity of the battle through the stretching front and dispatch more troops of the United States Central Army. Then he suddenly sent out the main force and took advantage of the height advantage of the No. 4 Highland to directly raid Li Mingxun's central army and achieve a great victory.

Now, the United States used attack instead of defense, which made its two plans of backup for each other unable to be implemented at the established pace. In particular, the United States only dispatched the right-wing partial division that had already fallen into a disadvantage, and the reserve team of at least 40,000 troops in the Eastern Band Central Army had not been used, which directly caused itself to lose its initiative.

Shunzhi stood there, thinking seriously, no one dared to disturb him, everyone knew that no matter what he did, he had to make a decision as soon as possible. After less than a moment, Shunzhi waved his fist and made up his mind: "Send Manzhu Xili to attack the right wing of the East Fan immediately. Soetu, I will give you the two white, two red, four banners, eight banners outside the pass, and all the Mongolian troops in Mobei and the West of Moxi. Sukshaha, who supports the left wing, must form a joint attack with Manzhu Xili and defeat the right wing of the East Fan in one fell swoop."

Obviously, this was a desperate bet. Soetu bowed to take the order, but hesitated: "Master, the elite was transferred to the slave. What should the Central Army do?"

After some dispatch by Shunzhi, only 10,000 foreign vassal Mongolians, 6,000 blue flags, and the Shu soldiers under Wu Yingxiong. The Shu soldiers were still on the front line, and only more than 10,000 soldiers were left in the No. 4 Highland, which was completely empty.

Shunzhi said: "If you have everything, you will not be able to face it. The central army has a high advantage. If you open a banner, you can deceive the East Fan. If you want to protect me, you can only defeat the right wing of the East Fan quickly, which is the right thing!"

Soetu scored a thousand yuan, stopped hesitating, and went down to the high ground to locate the soldiers.

Gao Feng personally led two infantry brigades to reach the end of the left wing of the Qing army before 2:30. Because of the arrival of this army, the Qing army could no longer stretch the line calmly and could only form a square formation to resist. Gao Feng went to the front to observe the battle situation personally. Seeing that the square formations at the front were all coated and trained, an hour had passed, and the formation was still messy, with different spacing between the square formations, and the formation was also crooked. The personal soldiers of the generals ran around in front of the formation, designated positions, or supervised the battle behind the back. After a team of Manchu armored soldiers appeared in the square formation, there were a lot of killings in the suppression. The Manchus were ruthless. For those who could not find their positions, they killed them with one knife. Before they attacked, there were a hundred more unjust souls in the Qing army.

The Qing army's array was very thick, just a five-color curtain spread out. In fact, these square arrays were originally going to continue to maneuver eastward and stretch the array, but they were all blocked here. On the front, the Qing army had two or three battalions formations in front and back, and here, they were densely packed with seven or eight layers. Gao Feng was sure that even if his two infantry brigades had all the bullets, they could not kill tens of thousands of people, but he was also very clear that as long as the shooting was determined enough, the casualties caused to the enemy were large enough, they could completely destroy the opposite side.

As the pocket watch pointed at 2:30 in the afternoon, Gao Feng immediately ordered the general attack, two infantry brigades and eight battalions, without reserves, all attacks, but each attack array was reduced by half, and the front was actually a division of battalions attack. Although the firepower was reduced, one thing was that the speed of the hollow square formation of the battalion units would greatly increase. In this way, even if the support army failed, his two brigades would not have a major retreat. Not making mistakes was Gao Feng's only creed at this time.

Although it was an enhanced attack on the sub-battalions, the eight square formations were unfolded and were also extremely wide frontal. Two infantry brigades marched with fast footwork. However, in shooting, Gao Feng ordered the battalion-level major commander to command the square formation. The first round of shooting was ordered by division-level cannons, and then the battalion-level volley. Obviously, Gao Feng had to personally command the first round of volleys, and the volleys of the two brigades were destined to be earth-shaking.

The line infantry marching was very fast. When they entered a distance of 400 meters, they encountered artillery fire from the Qing army. The sound of artillery was different, some sounds were like thunder, and some were like thunder. Obviously, the line infantry was facing the army with the worst-armed military in the Qing army, and they had no good artillery. In fact, those mountain-splitting cannons must be within 200 meters of the Franchise.

The Qing army gunners did not know anything about shooting diagonally. Of course, their artillery did not support them in this way. The army's twelve-pound cannons, six-pound field cannons and four-pound flying cavalry cannons that were maneuvering to the position were on the two wings and cross-firing at the thick square array of the Qing army. The shells cut through the air and made a hissing sound. Solid shells, grenades pulled out pale white trails and flew into the Qing army's array.

The ballistics of cannons and field artillery are straight, and it is very simple to hit the heavy formation of the Qing army, especially the powerful twelve-pound cannons. As the core of field artillery firepower, they can often penetrate two or three square formations with one shot. The Qing army's artillery's shooting distance is long and the gunner's quality is low, so they can only attack infantry. The army's artillery does not want to waste shells on the scattered artillery on the frontline, and directly aims at the infantry formation and bombards. Now it depends on who can bear it.
