"Huang Zhenshan!" Liang Min, the former leader of the Yuyuan Army, shouted to those around him, "Take your men to the east of the city to stabilize the morale of the troops in the eastern camp."

"What about you?" Huang Zhenshan asked.

Liang Min drew his sword: "I will take people to the west of the city and drive the Jiannu out of the camp!"

"Okay!" Huang Zhenshan turned around and left without any hesitation.

Liu Wenxiu gave Liang Min 4,000 infantrymen.

Liang Min divided these troops into four parts.

Among them, there were 800 people in Zhen'an Fort, and 1,000 people each in the camps east and west of the city.

The remaining 1,200 people were the soldiers he brought out from Yuyuan.

He and these people were stationed in the south of the city, connecting with the camps in the east and west of the city.

Huang Zhenshan took away four hundred people, and he led the remaining eight hundred people to attack the camp west of the city.

At this time, the camp west of the city was in chaos.

Everywhere you look, you can see Jiannu cavalry.

They either rode on horses and used the potential energy of the horses' running to continuously chop with their swords.

Or they would draw their bows and use arrows to launch a surprise attack on the resisting Ming army.

The Ming army was originally fighting on their own.

They were unable to organize an effective attack, nor did they have multiple arms to coordinate defense.

The losses were heavy for a time.

Fortunately, Liang Min appeared in time.

He first ordered the spearmen to set up a defense line in the corner of the camp and gather the fleeing soldiers.

Then they slowly expanded the defense line, continuing to gather the defeated soldiers while advancing towards the gap in the camp.

Just plug the gap.

The camp west of the city can be saved and the rout prevented.

Upon seeing this, Tan Tai immediately led his men to kill Liang Min.

The two sides met head-on.

Tan Tai first fired a wave of arrows in an attempt to shake Liang Min's army.

Liang Min's side had a very high armor-wearing rate, and the rain of arrows falling into the army formation only caused some disturbance but did not shake the army formation.

"Fire!" As the messenger waved the flag, the musketeer next to the spearman pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The air was filled with smoke and bullets were pouring out.

“Ouch!”

The Jiannu soldiers in the front row were shot one after another. Some covered their wounds and groaned in pain, while others bared their teeth and "greeted" the relatives of the Ming army.

Whoosh!

The command flag was waved again, and Liang Min commanded the army to advance slowly forward.

Tan Tai originally wanted to take advantage of the cavalry, letting the horses run around the Ming army's formation and looking for an opportunity to break the formation.

Unfortunately, there is no chance at all.

Because there is no space.

After breaking through the Ming army's formation, Tan Tai killed people and set fires.

The flames caused by the large amount of flammable materials made the already narrow Ming army camp even narrower.

Cavalry has no attack power without formation.

The burning flames forced the Jiannu cavalry to abandon their formation and start a chaotic fight.

He finally rushed to Liang Min.

They were either blocked by spearmen or forced back by infantrymen using grenades.

After two consecutive attacks ended in failure, Tan Tai realized that there was something wrong with his tactics.

He looked around and found that there was nothing behind Liang Min.

"You," Tan Tai pointed to the back of Liang Min and shouted to an Eight Banners general, "You lead your troops to leave the Ming army camp and attack the Ming army from there."

"Hoo!" The Eight Banners generals led their men out of the camp and circled behind Liang Min.

When he came behind Liang Min, he was attacked by Huang Zhenshan.

The camp in the east of the city did not encounter any surprise attack, and Huang Zhenshan quickly stabilized the morale of the troops.

He was worried about Liang Min's safety, so he personally led hundreds of infantrymen to provide support.

After repelling the Jiannu cavalry with a bird gun, Huang Zhenshan continued to move closer to Liang Min.

Liang Min continued to advance towards the gap in the camp.

Seeing that the gap was getting closer and closer, just when Liang Min thought he could turn the situation around.

A scout covered in blood came up to Liang Min, lying on horseback.

He forced himself to cheer up and pointed to the south, saying in a broken tone: "Sir, five miles south of the city... we have discovered tens of thousands of Jiannu soldiers, who have... have already reached the outskirts of the camp."

After saying this, the scout seemed to lose all his strength and fell off the horse.

A nearby soldier quickly stepped forward to check and said, "Sir, he is dead."

Liang Min was like a deaf person and didn't hear anything at all.

Because his thoughts were still on what Tanma had just said, and he hadn't recovered yet.

Tens of thousands of Jiannu?

No need to ask, it must be Dorgon who has come.

This is too sudden.

Didn't he go south? Why did he come back?

Did the news leak out, or is the war in the south already over?

besides...

Where is Li Dingguo? Why is he nowhere to be seen?

Where is Wang Yongji?

Since it is a two-pronged attack.

Dorgon, who was caught in the middle, has arrived.

Where are the troops of Wang Yongji, the governor of Pingliao?

While I was thinking, Dorgon's troops arrived.

These cavalrymen first destroyed the obstacles and fortifications outside the Ming army camp in the west of the city as quickly as possible.

Then kill from outside the camp into the camp.

"Kill!" Dorgon rode on his horse with the sword in his right hand raised high in the air.

Liang Min's army consisted of only a thousand men.

Under Dorgon's saturation attack, the front-row soldiers fell one by one.

Just as the soldier in the middle was about to push forward, he was shot into a hedgehog by a rain of arrows.

The remaining people were trampled under the feet of the Jiannu cavalry before they had time to resist.

The Ming army's defense line in the west of the city collapsed in an instant.

"Your Highness," Tan Tai found Dorgon in the chaos, "Our army has razed the Ming army's camp in the west of the city to the ground!"

Dorgon took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

He was very scared when he learned that he was about to be surrounded by Li Dingguo.
