"Changbo! Is there any news about the Tartars? Are they coming?" Guanning Iron Cavalry Deputy General Yang Kun asked with a serious expression.

Wu Sangui looked at the Dashun Army led by Tang Tong opposite him, smiled bitterly, and said, "The news has come, saying that they are on a hard expedition and have to rest for a few days. I guess the Tartars will sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Let's talk about it when we are most of the damage!"

"What should I do?" Hu Shouliang, the general next to him, immediately exclaimed, "That's what they took, why didn't they send troops? If that's the case, I won't play anymore. Marshal Wu! Let's retreat and go back to Shanhaiguan first! Let's see how Chuang Ni fights the Tartars."

"How to retreat?" Fang Xianting, the general beside him, immediately widened his eyes, "Looking at this, the Tatars and Chuang Ni don't want to take action first. They both want to call our Guanning Iron Cavalry first. Retreat to Shanhaiguan, it's even more deadly. It's better to fight the vanguard of Chuang Ni first."

"Old Fang is right!" Wu Sangui nodded, "It is better to rely on ourselves than relying on the heaven and earth. This battle should be fought harder, and we can see our strength for Chuang Ni and the Tartars. What we talk about later will have weight. What we say will be important! If the Tartars really have the idea of ​​sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, and I will become popular, then maybe I will surrender Chuang Ni first and then jointly kill the Tartars."

After hearing Wu Sangui's words, the generals of Guanning Iron Cavalry nodded. However, they also knew that Wu Sangui's second half was an angry word. As a Yuan Ming army, who knew the combat effectiveness of the Qing army best, they could not have the courage to fight with the Qing army at all. Therefore, the words "jointly breaking through the rebellion" and "killing the Tartars" are definitely unrealistic, and at most they would escape the battlefield at that time.

However, the Guanning Iron Cavalry now has nowhere to escape. The more than 40,000 families of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are all in Shanhaiguan. Before they want to escape, they have to go back to Shanhaiguan first. However, the Qing army and the Dashun army followed closely behind. As long as they return to Shanhaiguan, they will definitely be trapped in a siege, so the Guanning Iron Cavalry now can only take one step at a time.

But no matter what, you must first defeat the vanguard troops of the Dashun Army. If even the 20,000 surrendered Ming army led by Tang Tong could not defeat, then in the future, the Guanning Iron Cavalry would completely lose its voice. Even if you surrender to either side, you will not be valued by either side.

So Wu Sangui said, "Arrang all our servants in the front row, and then follow all the light cavalry. I personally lead the army, that is, I will trade it in one go, and I must annihilate the pioneers of the rebellion in one fell swoop."

"Uncle Chang! I'll do it! You are the head coach!" Deputy General Yang Kun quickly started to compete.

"Don't fight between the two great men! Tang Tongxiao, the opposite side, needs you to take action to deal with it? Didn't that lose the face of our Guanning Iron Cavalry? Let the young man go! I've long wanted to make a first contribution." said Guo Yunlong, the guerrilla who had the lowest qualifications on the spot.

"Hahaha--!" All the generals laughed. Wu Sangui nodded and said, "Okay! Let Xiao Guo come on. I will personally cheer for you."

"Master! The Liao army opposite is ready to rush forward. What formation should we arrange?" A general asked Tang Tong.

"Send the order! Arrange a geese-shaped formation! When the morale of the Liao army is released, we will fight back." Tang Tong looked at the Guanning Iron Cavalry and Cavalry opposite him who kept transferring to the front row, stroked his beard and said.

"But I heard that the Liao army's cavalry was brave, and I was afraid that the Central Army would not be able to resist it!" another general raised a question.

"It doesn't matter!" Tang Tong still stroked his beard and looked confident. "During the Songjin War, I was in Liaodong and saw that the elite Liao army were lost in the hands of the Tatars. Now the Liao army in Wu Xiaoer's hands is no longer true, and it is no match for our Miyun's border army. We are already cautious when defending first. It's not that I'm afraid that the Tartars on the side will do anything, but I will let the entire army attack and let Wu Xiaoer see who is the most powerful army in the world."

"The handsome man is wise! The handsome man is wise!"

When he heard Tang Tong's boast, the generals beside him immediately started to praise him.

The reason why Li Zicheng made the surrendered Ming army led by Tang Tong as the vanguard was to consume the strength of the surrendered Ming army. But the more important reason was that compared with the Dashun army that was as loose as a scattered sand, the surrendered Ming army was still relatively obeyed orders, and even the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, such as Tang Tong, who surrendered in an established system, was not damaged, so it was stronger than the general Dashun army's troops.

When the troops led by Tang Tong met the Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Wu Sangui in Yutian, they couldn't wait to join the battle. On one side, they wanted to make new contributions after surrendering and handed over a letter of surrender; on the other side, they wanted to fight for their own survival.

Facing the upcoming rushing formation of Guanning Iron Cavalry, Tang Tong first arranged a goose-shaped formation. The force configuration of the goose-shaped formation is like a slanted geese flying by, which can fully exert the power of the shooting troops. Because of its large coverage, it can also be used to surround the enemy.

However, the disadvantage of the goose-shaped formation is that it is poor in charge. If it encounters a cone formation, it is easy for the enemy to break through the central army, causing chaos in the entire army. Therefore, in the battles that mainly use hand-to-hand combat in the era of cold weapons, the goose-shaped formation was used less.

However, in the late Ming Dynasty, because firearms were already widely used in various armies, this formation began to become popular again. Tang Tong was about to wait for the Guanning Iron Cavalry to rush to the formation and fall into the quagmire of the central army, then gathered the sides of the goose-shaped formation to surround the Guanning Iron Cavalry and surrounded the cavalry of the Guanning Iron Cavalry and annihilated it in one fell swoop. Can the Guanning Iron Cavalry without cavalry still be called - Guanning Iron Cavalry?

Of course, Tang Tong also knew the shortcomings of the Yanshi Formation, so his platoon in the Central Military Office was the "classic arrangement" of the army at that time. He placed new recruits, auxiliary soldiers and civilians with weapons in the first row, followed by war soldiers, and finally his servants and personal soldiers. He used the lives of cannon fodder to block the rushing of Guanning Iron Cavalry, and then sent his own elites to give the Guanning Iron Cavalry a final blow.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry's roster was exactly the opposite. The first few rows of their rushing formation were full of servants wearing armor, then the light cavalry, and finally the infantry with weak combat power. So, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was fighting hard this time.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong--!"

The sound of war drums sounded, and more than a thousand servants of Guanning Iron Cavalry had arranged four rows of arrangements. Their people and horses were all wearing heavy armor and holding three-eyed muskets. Amid the sound of the drums, these servants began to drive the horses and walk slowly forward.

The speed of the servants was getting faster and faster. After entering two hundred steps, they gradually reached the speed of sprint. In a blink of an eye, they rushed into the range of the three-eyed musket, "Bang bang bang!", shooting three rows in a row, and shooting towards Tang Tong's central army.
