"This..." Fan Wencheng was speechless for a moment.
Since the war began, he has almost never put down the clairvoyance in his hand.
But even so, the Ming army's artillery could not be found on the battlefield.
Especially those heavy artillery, not a single one was found.
What we see most often is the not-so-powerful falconet!
Where did the artillery go?
Fan Wencheng thought for a while and shook his head: "Prince Rui, I don't know either. Prince Yu also mentioned this in his secret letter, and he didn't find the Ming army's heavy artillery either."
"Perhaps Huang Degong left in a hurry and left all the artillery in Miyun."
"Well, I hope so!" Dorgon nodded, picked up the clairvoyance and looked at the battlefield again.
Um...?
Dorgon was visibly stunned when he saw Huang Degong's central army begin to move forward.
Are we sending the main force to the battlefield now?
In his opinion, Huang Degong should not be so anxious to dispatch his main forces because he did not have the advantage on the battlefield.
Even if the left and right wings are defeated, we can call off the troops and make other plans.
Why send the main force to attack directly?
Is that too hasty?
The Ming army's infantry formation was not moving very fast, so Dorgon took this opportunity to ask Fan Wencheng: "Mr. Fan, is Huang Degong sending out the main force to fight a decisive battle?"
“It’s possible!”
"Is he too impatient?" Dorgon still couldn't believe his eyes.
Fan Wencheng thought for a moment and said, "It is very likely that Chongzhen is urging us to go to war. In my opinion, this is a good thing! But we still need to be cautious."
Dorgon didn't have time to think too much, he looked behind him.
This time he entered the Pass with 20,000 soldiers and horses, with a total of 10,000 soldiers on the left and right wings. There were 2,000 infantry and baggage soldiers who could ride horses in the barracks.
There are eight thousand people in the central army!
Faced with 15,000 infantry, Dorgon thought for a moment and ordered the deputy commander of the Plain White Banner to lead 5,000 cavalry to charge forward.
He wanted to leave behind 3,000 cavalry to deal with emergencies.
Even if the Ming cavalry suddenly joined the battle, he would be able to rely on the elite troops around him to contain the enemy.
After the main forces of both sides arrived at the battlefield, the situation suddenly changed.
