~~~~~~

Early in the morning, before it was dark, the Ming army's battle formation took the lead in taking action.

The whistles of the assembly, the shouts of the generals at the top of their lungs, the loud responses of the soldiers, including the neighing of the horses and the whistles of the mules and horses, made the entire Ming army battle formation very noisy.

But if you look at it from a distance, although the various departments are noisy, they are very compact and can even be said to be well organized.

In the past, if such chaos occurred in the Ming army's battle formation, some of the brave Tatar sentries around would have dared to rush in and kill them all.

But at this time, the tall gold-rimmed "Li" flag in the camp was fluttering in the wind, and the bloody red eagle flag was fluttering firmly in the wind. Coupled with the lessons of blood and tears in the past, no one among the Tatar sentries around dared not open their eyes.

At this time, go to attack Li Yuanqing's formation?

Isn’t that because I have lived enough and think I have a long life?

This is also the fruit of Li Yuanqing's ten years of fully integrating his will into the blood of Changsheng Camp.

In the past, when the Ming army faced the Post-Jin army, let alone the main force of the Post-Jin army, even if it was a small-scale Post-Jin army with hundreds or thousands of people, marching was a big problem.

Because the mobility of the Hou Jin Army was too strong, and their personal abilities far surpassed that of the Ming Army, even the most elite Ye Bushou of the Ming Army would find it difficult to compete with the Tatars' elite sentry cavalry.

This made it easy for the Ming army to become deaf and blind when marching, and had no idea what was going on.

Even~, there have been several battles in which thousands or even hundreds of Tatars were able to overwhelm the main force of the Ming army.

The most representative one is the Battle of Liuhe under the command of Ma Shilong.

Guan Ning's deputy commander Lu Zhijia, along with more than 8,000 elites from Guan Ning's various battalions, except the air force, water camp, artillery camp, and vehicle camp, were all alive, but they were directly attacked by hundreds of Tatars.

They were in a mess, completely defeated, and Lu Zhijia was also killed on the spot. It was simply unbearable to watch.

Even Zu Dashou, who was the main force of Guan Ning at this time, during the battle of the capital, only dared to go around the places where the Hou Jin Army did not go, and never dared to meet the Hou Jin Army head-on.

Even~, even so, it was still under the condition that Li Yuanqing occupied Pinggu first.

But at this time, Changsheng Camp did not have these bad habits at all.

At this time, the two main forces of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong combined had nearly 20,000 combat troops and more than 10,000 auxiliary troops, but they were only over 30,000, which was comparable to Jierhalang of Tashanpu.

But Li Yuanqing dared to march, even in a hurry, under Jierhalang's nose despite so many post-Jin army sentries.

This is mainly due to the maturity of the square formation tactics of the Changsheng Battalion and the continuous development and improvement of firearms, so that Li Yuanqing and the men of the Changsheng Battalion are no longer afraid of the Tatar elite cavalry charging into the formation.

Even, to a large extent, the Changsheng Battalion very much welcomes the main force of the Tatars to rush into the formation, because it will gain more military exploits.

In addition, the Changsheng Battalion's cavalry sentries continue to grow and their equipment continues to evolve. Even if they do not have the equestrian skills of the Tatar sentries, they can completely defeat them with their equipment.

With blunderbuss, hand blunderbuss, repeating crossbows, and hand grenades, it's easy for the Tatars to run far away, but as long as they dare to get close, it won't be easy.

Not to mention, there were eighty pounders and twenty six-pounders in the Changsheng camp at this time.

If Jierhalang couldn't think about it, Li Yuanqing would never mind killing him on the spot, or cutting off his roots and sending him to the palace for Emperor Chongzhen.

The Ming army's battle formation was tidied up very quickly. It only took more than half an hour. Before midnight, the eight thousand-man phalanx in front cleared the way and had already embarked on the road to the east.

At this speed, the main force of the Ming army will surely reach the foot of Tashanpu City by evening at the latest.

How could these Tatar sentinels around dare to neglect him? He hurriedly sent people back to convey the news to his master, Jirharang.

In the middle of the Ming army's battle formation, under the high-flying handsome flag and the bloody red eagle flag, Li Yuanqing was riding on a sacred black BMW, feeling the red waves surrounding him and facing the rising sun in the east.

The surging energy in my heart can't stop surging outward.

It’s no wonder that An Zhongrong said at that time: “The emperor, he who has strong soldiers and horses will do it!”

In such an environment, people's self-confidence can easily explode.

Just like this moment, as long as he, Li Yuanqing, gives an order, more than 30,000 men around him are willing to sacrifice their lives for him, throw their heads and blood, and tear all the enemies in front of him into pieces and grind them into meat paste!

But although his body was extremely excited, Li Yuanqing's mind remained absolutely calm.

People, at any time, must have a heart of awe.

This so-called awe can be said to be fear of God, fear of natural disasters, and even more fear of failure, but never fear of the enemy.

Taking history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs.

With history as a mirror, Li Yuanqing understood very well that this was a critical period for his career to rise, but it was by no means a time to celebrate and indulge in victory.

He has not yet said, "All military and state affairs come from my own mouth," nor has he ever "examined the crimes of his ruler before the battle," so how can he talk about "getting the most beautiful woman in the world and marrying her"?

At this time, Chen Zhong personally supervised the front military formation.

Although the Ming army was highly morale, high-spirited, and extremely well-prepared, the Tatar cavalry was not a trivial matter after all. If Jierhalang just couldn't get over it and wanted to fight Li Yuanqing for his life, how could Li Yuanqing dare to neglect him?

Strategically, you can despise the enemy, but tactically, you must be extremely alert.

It was early in the morning, the weather was not too hot yet, the men were all fully armed, and most of their burdens were heavy, so it was quite easy.

But after a while, the sun comes out, especially in the afternoon, and that's when it becomes torturous.

However, Li Yuanqing, like ordinary soldiers, must set a good example!

However, Li Yuanqing looked back at the large and comfortable manned carriage not far behind him, at the front of the carriage group...

In the carriage, Bumu Butai and Su Moer were also secretly observing the situation around them.

At this time, their servants and female family members that Kong Youde and Shunzi had previously captured were all placed in the transit camp at the mouth of the Sancha River. Bumubutai had only one maid, Su Moer, and two capable women.

It's a pity that the mother-in-law does not have such superior treatment as the two of them. In order to save horsepower, the two women can only walk outside. When they are really tired, they can load the carriage and rest for a while.

"Master, look, these smart dogs are so neat and orderly. Isn't Mr. Liu guarding Tashanpu? Why hasn't he sent troops to save us?"

Speaking of Jilharang, Su Mo'er clenched her little fists anxiously.

She has never had any good impressions of Ming people or Han people.

Bumbutai held the curtains with her orchid fingers and looked at the red battle array outside. She couldn't help but smile and shook her head: "Sixth Master must have his plan. Su Mo'er, how can military and national affairs be like child's play? Besides, Liu

I may not know that we are in Li Yuanqing's formation."

"Oh. How can this be a good thing? How can this be a good thing?"

Su Mo'er was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

But Bu Mu Butai ignored Su Mo'er and looked carefully at the tall figure in golden armor not far ahead, under the majestic flag flying.

Although he only met Li Yuanqing a few times and did not have any in-depth communication with Li Yuanqing, Bumubutai had a vague hunch that this intellectual and noble man was even more difficult to deal with than Bodar Khan.

If Bodar Khan still has some tenderness towards women, then Li Yuanqing may only regard women as playthings.

Although Bumubutai didn't know how Li Yuanqing got along with his wives and concubines, Bumubutai was sure that her judgment was absolutely correct!

Because this is her purest intuition as a woman!

What's more, Li Yuanqing is really, really dangerous...

This also made Bumbutai feel a kind of...an unspeakable worry in his heart these days...

I'm afraid this battle with Dajin will be difficult...

As it approached noon, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Even though Bumbutai and Su Moer had been hiding in the cool and comfortable carriage, they were still a little too hot.

While fanning her and Bumu Butai, Su Mo'er whispered: "Master, I really miss the time when we were in Shengjing City. We could still have ice cubes to keep out the cold. How can it be like now, when this bastard Li Yuanqing simply doesn't care about us?"

When people look at that, they won’t even give us some ice cubes.”

Bumbutai smiled: "Su Mo'er, look at them."

With that said, Bumubutai pulled up a curtain.

"Ai?"

Su Mo'er was stunned and quickly looked out of the carriage.

At this time, it was mid-noon, which was basically the hottest time of the day. The scorching sun would probably burn everyone and turn them into charcoal.

Everyone in the tumbling red battle formation was dripping with sweat.

Especially from their angle, they could clearly see that the backs of many Ming soldiers' trousers were soaked through, and some were even dripping with water, leaving wet marks with every step they took.

But even so, no one complained. Instead, they occasionally laughed and walked forward quickly.

Especially under the handsome flag directly in front, Li Yuanqing has been riding on his horse. His majestic golden armor is reflecting the golden light under the sunlight, like the sun, and he can't feel the heat at all...

"Master, this, this... Li Yuanqing, isn't he afraid of the heat?"

Su Mo'er opened her cherry-red mouth in disbelief.

During these days, she had been hiding in the carriage and felt too hot. She had never observed Li Yuanqing and his subordinates so carefully.

Bumubutai smiled and said, "How can Li Yuanqing not be afraid of heat? I'm afraid, he is too hot now, like a dog."

"But, why did he..."

Before Su Mo'er finished speaking, she suddenly reacted and couldn't help but whispered in a frightened voice: "Master, Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing can't be so cruel, right? He, he is so cruel to me?"

"hehe."

Bu Mu Butai suddenly smiled sweetly: "Su Mo'er, do you think that in the past ten years, Li Yuanqing went from being a low-ranking general officer to being the first earl and the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty? That is just a coincidence.

Pie?"

"this……"

Su Moer was speechless for a moment.

After a moment, he hurriedly said: "Master, I, why do I suddenly feel that there seems to be something not good about the Sixth Master in this battle."

After saying that, Su Mo'er quickly covered her mouth in fear, and lightly slapped her delicate little face, "This slave said the wrong thing, please punish me, Master."

Bu Mu Butai shook his head, "Su Mo'er, you are right. Only when you truly understand Li Yuanqing will you know how terrifying he is..."

Su Mo'er also came back to her senses, but hurriedly picked up the Buddhist beads in her hand and counted them one by one. She also muttered something in her mouth: "Blessed by the God of Immortality, bless by the Buddha, it is best to let Li Yuanqing die of heatstroke and choke to death when drinking water, but

Don't make this bastard feel too good..."

How could Bumbutai have the temper of a little girl like Su Moer?

She quietly looked through the gap at the tall figure on the horse not far away, her big eyes getting brighter and brighter.
