Chapter 186: Eight Banners vs. The Legend of the Condor Heroes
Chu Ying, Nurhaci's eldest son, was wearing heavy armor, holding a spear, and leading an elite cavalry unit. He charged left and right on the battlefield as if he was in an empty space.
His figure was like a flag, inspiring the Manchu warriors to fight bravely.
Whenever the battle entered a white-hot stage, Chu Ying always led the charge.
Rushing to the front, he knocked down enemies one by one with his spear.
Under his leadership, the Manchu army's offensive was like a tide, forcing the Mongolian army to retreat step by step.
Abai is a low-key person who is not good at speaking, but brave in battle. He is tall and strong, and his weapon is a huge battle axe.
Wielding a battle axe, he charged forward, knocking down enemies wherever he went.
The battle axe in his hand is like the scythe of the god of death, and every swing will take the lives of several enemies.
Although Abai's fighting style was a bit rough, it was his reckless fighting style that frightened the Mongolian army.
Under his leadership, the morale of the Manchu army reached its peak.
Nurhaci's eighth son, Huang Taiji, although still young, showed extraordinary courage and wisdom in this battle.
Unlike his other brothers, he did not charge into battle, but was responsible for commanding an army of archers.
Huang Taiji was well aware of the importance of bows and arrows on the battlefield, so he specially selected a group of elite archers for training.
This archer unit can accurately shoot dense rain of arrows, causing huge damage to the enemy.
This greatly enhanced the Manchu army's long-range strike capability.
At this time, the battlefield was full of fighting. Some soldiers were swinging swords to kill the enemy on horseback, while others jumped off their horses and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and gunpowder, making it almost impossible to breathe.
The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle was difficult to resolve. The battlefield was littered with fallen soldiers and horses.
The Four Heroes and others were also extremely brave and fought fiercely with the Manchu generals.
Bolshu held a spear and shuttled across the battlefield like a dragon.
Chi Lao Wen is good at archery. His arrows seem to have eyes and can always hit the enemy accurately.
Borhu was a fierce general who charged across the battlefield with a sledgehammer in his hand, knocking down enemies wherever he went.
The battle lasted a whole day and both sides paid a heavy price.
The two armies fought each other and then withdrew their troops.
The battlefield was littered with broken limbs and weapons, and blood dyed the ground red.
At this time, a fierce battle also broke out on the other side of Nurhaci's army!
It is said that on that vast grassland, the sky was as blue as the sea, and the sunlight shone through the clouds, casting golden light.
Nurhaci's second son Daishan and fifth son Manggurtai, two brave generals of the Aisin Gioro family, led the elite troops of the four banners of the Eight Banners Army, namely the Plain Red Banner, the Bordered Red Banner, the Plain Blue Banner and the Bordered Blue Banner, and marched to the other side of the battlefield in a mighty manner.
On the other side, the Mongolian archers were not to be outdone.
They wore fur robes, eagle feather hats, longbows on their waists, and full quivers on their backs.
These archers were the elite force in the Mongolian army, and their archery skills were astonishingly superb.
The two armies faced each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
But at this moment, a breeze blew, and the grass on the grassland swayed gently, as if cheering for the contest.
Daishan, dressed in military uniform, looks heroic, with a domineering aura between his brows.
Manggurtai was a tall and strong man, carrying a mace, and looked very scary.
The two have fought side by side for many years and have already developed a tacit understanding.
Just as they had arranged their battle formation and were ready to meet the enemy, dust rose in the distance and the Mongolian army surged in like a tide. The leading general was the Mongolian archer Zhebie.
Jebie was a famous archer in the Mongolian army with superb archery skills and never missed his target.
"Fifth brother, it seems that we will have to meet this Mongolian Eagle Archer today."
Daishan saw this, smiled slightly and said to Manggurtai.
"Well done!"
"Today, let these Mongolian Tartars see how powerful our Eight Banners Army is!"
Manggurtai laughed loudly, waved the mace in his hand and shouted loudly.
The two armies approached each other rapidly. At Daishan's command, the elite troops of the four flags rushed towards the Mongolian army like arrows.
Zhebei was not to be outdone. He led the Mongolian army behind him and a large number of elite archers to meet the enemy.
For a moment, arrows rained down on the battlefield and shouts of killing shook the sky.
Daishan and Manggurtai led the charge into the enemy camp and engaged in a fierce battle with the Mongolian soldiers.
The soldiers of the Zhenghong Banner and the Xianghong Banner led by Daishan charged and shot arrows, and the arrows rained down on the Mongolian army opposite them.
The archers behind the Mongolian army were not to be outdone.
They quickly drew their bows and shot arrows, which cut through the sky and shot towards the Eight Banners soldiers.
Daishan, who was rushing in the front, wielded his spear like a dragon emerging from the sea, stabbing left and right. Each spear was extremely accurate and hit the enemy's vital points directly.
Manggurtai's mace was even more powerful and heavy. Every time he swung it, several enemies fell down.
"This son of the Aisin-Gioro family is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
Seeing this, Zhebie sneered. He did not join the fight himself, but stood on a high place and directed the archers to shoot arrows.
He took a deep breath, drew his bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow at Daishan.
"Ding! Zhebie's skills Shooting the Eagle and Eagle Eye are activated!

At the same time, the archers behind the Mongolian army fired sharp arrows like raindrops, shooting at the armies of Daishan and Manggurtai.
However, these Eight Banners soldiers were all elite warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles. They were also a nation on horseback who made a living by riding and shooting.
Each of them was an expert in horseback archery. They nimbly dodged the arrow attacks on horseback, while the soldiers behind them aimed at the enemy and shot deadly arrows.
The soldiers who came into contact with the front waved their weapons and fought a desperate battle with the enemy.
The grassland was filled with flying arrows and running figures.
Daishan and Manggurtai, who were at the front, fought more and more bravely. They kept looking for Zhebie on the battlefield, wanting to kill him in one fell swoop.
However, Zhebie was like a ghost, elusive and always managed to cleverly dodge them whenever they approached.
The two sides fought back and forth on the battlefield, and the battle was fierce.
The soldiers of the Zhenghong Banner and Xianghong Banner were like tigers descending from the mountains, charging forward and breaking through the enemy lines with unstoppable force.
The soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner were like dragons in the sea, flexible and maneuverable, and dealt fatal blows to the enemy.
