There is a ruined temple in the north of Gaoyang City. About two miles to the west of it is a wilderness. Although it was once high in the west and low in the east, it is very flat and overgrown with weeds.
It was originally a desolate place, but now it is extremely lively. Nearly ten thousand horses are fighting for their lives in this desolate wilderness. In the cold wind, there are wailings everywhere and the neighing of war horses. One after another, almost everyone's body is contaminated.
The patches are bright red.
Prince Hauge of Heshuosu in the Qing Dynasty was riding his horse on a high hillock, looking indifferently at the fighting in the wilderness. Although his face was expressionless, he was actually very surprised in his heart.
"Lu Xiangsheng, sooner or later you will die in my hands."
Hauge swore an oath fiercely in his heart.
He did not expect that the thousands of elite cavalry he sent could not defeat the Ming army on the opposite side. It was not like he had never been to Xuanda before. He rushed into Xuanda in a swagger and even went deep into Shanxi, looted and escaped safely.
.
At that time, no Xuanda frontier troops were seen. Those who dared to go out of the city to challenge, and even those who went out of the city to wait and see, were all like turtles, huddled within the fortified city.
But today was different. The three teams of cavalry he sent were all caught and killed by the Ming army on the opposite side. It must have been impossible to complete the combined attack for a while.
Among the three cavalry teams, the 500 Zhenglan Banner knights in Dandai in the north were intercepted and fought by a Ming army of nearly a thousand cavalry. They were obviously at a disadvantage. The 1,600 Zhenglan Banner knights in the middle road of Alzin were
With Lu Xiangsheng's nearly 3,000 Xuanda Jingqi, it was a draw, and they were not defeated for a while.
Only in the wilderness to the south, the Deke type Mongolian cavalry of the foreign vassal were divided into three cavalry groups, each with less than 300 people. They did not engage in battle with the cavalry of Jiang Mingwu, the general of Shanxi Town of the Ming Army, and just stayed on the periphery.
Youdou.
Whichever team Jiang Mingwu pursues, that team will retreat, and the other two teams will rush up from the flanks and shoot. Jiang Mingwu will turn his horse and chase after them. They will run away again, shooting from a distance, and shooting from close range.
The Mongolian cavalry of Deke's foreign vassal obviously took advantage. Jiang Ming's military department was seriously attrited. Although there were not many serious injuries, he was destined to lose in the long run.
However, after all, Hauge was a veteran who had fought for many years. Hauge realized that if he continued to fight, he would not have much chance of winning, not to mention that the Ming army opposite had nearly 10,000 infantry, and they should be on their way over.
At this time, a Bagala warrior beside him said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to charge again?"
Hauge's attention was fixed, and without thinking, he ordered in a deep voice: "No need, Lu Xiangsheng's combat power has been tested today. Our army has not yet gathered, and there is no time for a decisive battle with Ming Gou. Let's ask Lu Xiangsheng to live longer."
On the same day, I sent an order to He Chenggong to take charge of the rear, and asked the Ahabs to pack up the tents quickly and use the money to withdraw the troops!"
…………
Lu Xiangsheng was fighting with the Qing cavalry when he heard a rapid sound of gongs. A golden light flashed in front of his eyes. He hurriedly swung his sword and blocked the long ax with a "dang" sound.
They saw the Qing cavalry rushing out one after another. They ran in front or behind, east or west, and gradually broke away from the battle with the Ming army, running away in groups.
Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly thrust the fine iron sword into the ground, took off the iron bow, and with his right hand, he took the arrow in his hand, opened the bow and nocked the arrow, and aimed at a slave thief.
His personal guards were always by his side, and even in the midst of a fierce battle, they were never scattered by the Qing cavalry.
On the battlefield, the remaining Qing soldiers gradually broke away from the battle. They gradually gathered from three or five cavalry into a dozen or even dozens of cavalry. They were no longer fighting fiercely with the Ming army. Under the pursuit of the Ming army knights, the Qing soldiers
They formed a group and gradually rushed back to the main formation.
While the two sides were chasing, arrows were flying, and from time to time, spears and iron bones were thrown back and forth.
Zhang Cheng led his troops and clashed with Dan Dai's 500 Qing army's Zhenglan Banner cavalry. He wanted to lead his troops to intercept the rear of Alzin's forward formation, but unexpectedly Dan Dai bit him and refused to let go.
He quickly turned his horse back and rushed towards him again. The two sides fought again. When Zhang Guangda saw the Qing soldiers surrounding Zhang Cheng and the guards, he roared angrily, waved his long machete, galloped towards him, and led his men.
More than a hundred elite cavalry broke through the Qing army's encirclement and merged with Zhang Cheng and others.
The sound of "bang bang..." cannons and cannons sounded from time to time in the wilderness, mixed with the wails and roars of people and the screams of war horses, which seemed particularly harsh.
The outpost commander, Chen Zheng, had two arrows stuck in his body and was still waving a long knife to fight with Dan Dai. He looked for an opening and took advantage of Dan Dai's mace to hit the gold-covered horse head of his subordinate, the commander of the armor.
The knife was swung down and slashed diagonally on Dan Dai's right shoulder.
The armor burst open, but was blocked by Dan Dai's inner armor. There was only a "click" sound, which showed that Dan Dai's right arm was slashed by a long knife. Chen Zheng quickly drew back the long knife, and the blade cut another layer.
Armor, but still failed to cut through the inner armor.
Dan Dai was extremely fierce. His right arm was dislocated after being cut by Chen Zheng's long knife. The mace in his hand fell to the ground. When he saw Chen Zheng's long knife slashing him again, he tilted his body to the right and fell off his horse, avoiding Chen Zheng.
long knife.
The moment Dan Dai landed, he deliberately landed his right hand on the ground. He gritted his teeth and groaned. He only heard a "clack" and his dislocated right hand was reset with the help of force.
As he fell, he pulled out a throwing spear with his left hand from the bag on the side of the saddle. After the dislocation of his right arm was reset, he resisted the pain, roared, and rolled sideways and backwards with all his strength.
Chen Zheng missed the target and hurriedly urged his horse to chase him. He saw that Dandai had just rolled over and before he could get up, he threw a spear with his left hand and stabbed into the belly of a Ming army knight's horse beside him.
The moment his horse fell to the ground, his body leaped into the air again, howling and jumping over the fallen horse and knight. At the same time, he reluctantly pulled out his sword with his right hand and slashed hard at another Ming army knight riding on the horse.
Chen Zheng urged his horse to pursue him, but was blocked by the fallen horse. He was afraid that his horse would trample the knight who had just fallen to the ground, so he quickly reined in the horse's head, turned around, and continued to chase Dan Dai.
Just when Chen Zheng got around the gap of the fallen horse and Dan Dai jumped up, he hit a knight with the sword in his right hand. After landing, he squatted down with both legs and violently jumped up again. He knocked the knight off the horse with his shoulder.
He just lay down on the saddle.
Dan Dai was sitting on his horse and stood up when he heard the rapid sound of gongs, which broke through the howling and mourning on the battlefield and reached his ears. He hurriedly adjusted his sitting position and saw Chen Zheng galloping towards him.
He put his left hand to his mouth, whistled, threw out the sword with his right hand, turned the horse's head, and ran out of the battlefield. After riding the horse for about ten steps, he saw a long ax lying on a corpse.
On the way up, he rode his horse, leaned over and scooped it up with his right hand, then picked it up.
Chen Zheng rode his horse to chase him. As soon as he heard the sound of gongs coming from the Qing army's formation, he saw Dan Dai throwing the sword in his right hand towards him. He hurriedly waved his long sword to knock it away. In this delay, Dan Dai had already urged his horse.
