The war horses stepped on the wasteland of the winter field, and the sound of their hoofs was particularly crisp and clear. The sound of "bah, bah, bah, bah..." resounded throughout the whole place.
Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Guozhu were leading their elite cavalry to the north in the fields. They had just fought a bloody battle with the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner Tatars ten miles southeast of Julu, and were now rushing to the north to help Hu Dawei and others attack the slave bandits Hauge.
department.
Zhang Cheng also urged his horses to gallop along the bank of the Laozhang River. Behind him were his four sentry elite cavalry. They formed two columns and galloped on the river embankment.
Behind their cavalry, there were more than 500 elite cavalry led by guerrilla Guo Yingxian, the commander-in-chief of Xuanzang, Yang Guozhu, following closely behind Zhang Cheng's cavalry, also heading north.
After they defeated the cavalry of the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner's Adai tribe, they did not delay. They divided into two groups and headed north.
Lu Xiangsheng led more than a thousand elite cavalry from his headquarters, and Yang Guozhu led more than 700 elite cavalry under his command to support them. They headed north in the wilderness and rushed to the aid of Hu Dawei's tribe.
Zhang Cheng led more than 800 elite cavalry from his headquarters, plus 500 elite cavalry under Yang Guozhu led by Guo Yingxian, for a total of 1,2300 men and horses. They headed north along the bank of the Laozhang River, preparing to intercept Hauge further north.
The Qing army of Zhenglan Banner under his command.
…………
Here, Hauge was defeated by the tiger, and Jiang Mingwu kept dragging him. His attack was blocked, and he wanted to retreat, but he was worried that the Ming army would follow him and pursue him. He was so angry that he jumped to his feet and became furious.
"Dan Dai, I will give you eight hundred warriors to attack Ming Gou's cavalry in the south. Dirk, you lead your own troops and attack Ming Gou from the south. Cooperate with Dan Dai. If Ming Gou retreats, you will keep chasing him." Hauge said.
Roaring orders.
He looked around again, as if he was looking for something, and suddenly shouted: "He Chenggong, come here, you take your men and go to the north to intercept the Minggou group. If you can't intercept them, don't come back."
As the military order was passed, there was a commotion in the Qing army's formation. The horses neighed and groups of cavalry ran out and lined up in front of the army. Dan Dai rode his horse in front of everyone and began to encourage everyone.
What followed was a series of roars and howls.
Dan Dai gave a loud shout and galloped up. The horse's hooves were flying, and the Ming army of the Chonghu Dawei Division rushed over. Behind him, eight hundred Zhenglan Banner Qing troops followed closely behind, also galloping on their horses.
Almost at the same time as Dan Dai charged up, De Ke Lei urged his horse to lead the army to the south. They were not impatient in fighting the horse. They only used their legs to control the horse. They all held bows and arrows in their hands. They could ride and shoot at any time.
.
He Chenggong roared loudly: "Brothers, follow me up and block Ming Gouzi from the north. Your Majesty will give you a big reward."
They also imitated the behavior of the Tatars, roaring and howling all the way, and rushed towards the Ming army of the Ming Dynasty.
…………
Here, Hu Dawei saw that the movement of the horsemen on the opposite side was different from the previous times, and hurriedly shouted to his general Zeng Xinjun: "You lead a sentry of troops, flank the two Tatars in the north, kill them, and fight with them."
Ginger Ginseng will come back to help me and wait for it, so go quickly."
Then, he looked back and roared: "Brothers, after we have been playing with the Tatars for a long time, it's time to show these little brats the true capabilities of our Shaanxi little tigers. Follow me and kill the slaves... kill...
"
"Kill...kill slaves..."
"Kill the slave...kill..."
With roars that shook the earth and earth, more than 800 knights followed Hu Dawei on horseback, facing the Qing army's Zhenglan Banner cavalry 200 steps away. They spurred their horses and trotted forward to meet them.
When they entered a hundred paces distance, they began to urge their horses hard, and a red cloud rolled forward, facing the blue patch on the opposite side.
At this moment, Zeng Xin's army began to roar angrily and led a sentry of fine cavalry from the Shanxi Zhenzheng Barracks. They came out in large numbers from the Hu Dawei Army formation and ran diagonally to the northeast, where the Qing army's He Chenggong headquarters was hurriedly running away.
Hu Dawei urged his horse to speed up and charged towards the Qing cavalry array on the opposite side. When he was sixty paces away, he tightened the reins of his horse and quickly moved his horse's head diagonally toward the southeast.
The knights behind him also turned their horses in circles like him, and the entire Ming army's cavalry formation changed from charging eastward to charging diagonally southeastward in an instant.
…………
Dan Dai was urging his horse to charge forward, and saw that the two sides were about to collide. He was also nervous and panicked. Suddenly, the Ming army on the opposite side circled his horse sixty paces away and turned to the south.
He also shouted loudly, twisted his horse's head, and turned slightly to the north, leading the Qing cavalry behind him to stagger the confrontation with the Ming army knights on the opposite side.
"Bang...bang...swish...bang..."
"...Whoosh...Whoosh...Bang...Whoosh..."
The two cavalry teams, red and blue, were about ten steps apart, running southward and northward. When the two armies crossed each other, guns and cannons were fired. As the smoke rose, spears, flying axes, and iron bones were also thrown at the Ming army knights like a tide.
Come.
"Bang...peng...bang..."
People kept falling from their horses to the ground, with the sound of the horses neighing, and some knights were even dragged to the ground by their horses. They were in terrible condition.
With bursts of roaring and wailing, the two armies staggered past each other. For a moment, people were on their backs and their horses were on their backs, and everything was in a mess.
Hu Dawei did not look back, crossed Dandai, then rode south, heading straight for the Mongolian cavalry of the foreign vassal like Deke, leaving only a large piece of smoke and dust billowing behind him.
More than 800 of their knights formed three columns and galloped southward, stretching for more than a mile.
Deke Lei saw Hu Dawei leading his troops running towards him from a distance, but he did not panic. He saw him roaring. A group of Mongolian knights were divided into two groups, each with more than 400 cavalry, more than 200 steps apart, and continued to fight.
The bow is waiting.
After Dandai got separated from the Ming army, he immediately reined up his horse and came back, chasing closely to the west of the Hu Dawei knights. They roared and howled with heart-rending roars and the momentum was astonishing.
…………
Shanxi Town Counselor Jiang Mingwu cooperated with Hu Dawei and had a stalemate with Haoge's Qing army in this field and wilderness for more than half an hour. He had been cooperating with Hu Dawei and fought with Haoge You, but the loss was
Not big.
Silently estimating the time, he felt that Governor Lu Xiangsheng had almost driven away the cavalry and was heading this way. He only needed one or two more encounters with Hauge Youdou and it would be over.
When he saw the Qing troops on the opposite side forming their troops again, he quickly reminded his subordinates to prepare for battle.
From a distance, he saw two teams of cavalry rushing out of the Qing army formation opposite. One team rushed towards Hu Dawei's headquarters, while the other team rushed south. He guessed that they were going to attack Hu Dawei from a double flank.
Just as he was about to lead his knights to rush over to support Hu Dawei, he saw another group of Qing troops charging forward on horseback. He hurriedly shouted: "Guys, be careful, the Tatars have changed their tactics."
Then he discovered that the people coming towards him were actually a group of two Tatars, numbering about eight hundred. When they reached a hundred and fifty steps away from him, they reined in their horses and stopped, and they all turned over and dismounted.
Jiang Mingwu knew that these two Tatars were here to stop him from supporting Hu Dawei, so he hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, these are the two fucking Tatars, follow me and kill all these beasts who have forgotten their ancestors."
