One Thousand and Sixty-Four: Tailgating

Zhu Si shouted and rushed towards the Qing army again, but Man Dahai could no longer hold on. "The whole army turned around, broke through the way they came, and killed the oncoming enemy!" Man Dahai didn't have any capital to hesitate, and if he didn't run at this time, he would never want to run. In an encounter with the 5,000 cavalry of the imperial battalion who had newly joined the battlefield, more of the corpses of the Qing army fell to the ground, and these 5,000 cavalry were the tricks that Zhu Si had reserved yesterday, that is, when the Qing army was exhausted, they copied from behind, causing a two-sided attack. However, after Mandahai broke through Wang Yongqiang's cavalry, he did not look back at all, and continued to follow the main road to the west without stopping. The cavalry of the Ming army of 5,000 people also quickly chased back, and the main cavalry of Zhu Si and Ma Wannian also followed.

This is a race between life and death, and this is the summoning of more than a dozen wives who have not passed through the door in the family, so these Qing soldiers are kicking on all fours for the sake that the wives will not be widowed. Oh, no, it's a slip of the tongue, it's the four hooves of the war horse, and I want to help the master marry a little wife. It's just that no matter how perfect a fantasy is, it's still a fantasy, and it's not the wives in the mother-in-law's womb who are waiting for them in front of them. It was the hoplites of more than 100,000 imperial camps of the Northern Army, which was the last dessert that Zhu Si prepared for Mandahai.

Mandahai is clearly surrounded by 200,000 horse infantry troops of the Ming Dynasty, surrounded by high mountains and dense forests on both sides, a few miles ahead, more than 100,000 Ming army infantry armor crowded, although it is not equipped with chariots like the five armies of the imperial camp, but this Ming army, which is composed of all northerners, looks strong enough, and looks like small steel cannons. If you don't rush out of the encirclement before the imperial cavalry behind you catches up with you, the elite of the 40,000 Eight Banners will definitely be wiped out. "Don't worry about your back, rush out with this king!" Man Dahai pointed his blunt knife at the northern army of the imperial camp, and the cavalry of the Qing army continued to move forward without stopping.

In the face of the charge of the Qing cavalry, these northern troops did not put forward any chariots and gun arrays at all, but rushed forward shirtless. Yes, you heard it right! It was the infantry and cavalry who were charging head-to-head, and they were shirtless. Such a strange scene Mandahai has never seen in his life, and he has never heard of it, and there is a saying that 'when things go wrong, there must be demons.' Man Dahai deliberately slowed down his horse, and slowly blended from the leader of the team into the middle of the army.

This is Man Dahai's cleverness, and his eyes are very good, he saw that these fierce men in front of the Ming army were holding an extra-large knife in their hands, the name of this knife was - Mo Dao...... There is also a number of these people, they are the vanguard of the entire northern army, a total of five thousand people, and their name is the Modao team.

Since ancient times, the Qin soldiers have endured hard fighting, and although the team that came out of the Loess Plateau ran fast, the pace was uniform, and each person had a fifty-pound big knife in his hand, and the blades were double-opened, like a wall to advance. Compete with the cavalry of the Qing army, and stand in front of the enemy with a horizontal sword. Chop the horse's legs and cut the heads of people, and the blade goes, and the earth is turned upside down. If you want to ask about the role of this Modao team in the history of our Chinese war, there is a poem as proof: 'Originated in the Tang Dynasty, the Turks were cold. The battle of Talas, the breakthrough is dangerous, and the big food coalition army is retreating one after another. In the Anshi Rebellion, thousands of miles of reinforcements, shirtless, killed tens of thousands of enemies. Frightened the enemy, forced Lushan to death, turned the tide, and recaptured Chang'an. Even the soldiers returned to the city, and the eastern capital was restored, which was a miraculous feat and passed down through the ages! ’1234

The army of Modao swords moved forward one by one, the swords went to the western sky, and the big swords were rounded, and the people and horses were split. The incense is not more than half, and thousands of enemies are killed. There are chasing soldiers in the back, there is a Mo knife in front, and the Prince of Doro, who is helpless, Man Dahai, shouted and rushed forward, there are really few people who dare to accompany him, and the Qing army soldiers would rather turn around and fight to the death with the Ming cavalry, than dare to touch the Mo knife team in front. Before they turned back and fought to the death, they were all thinking in their hearts, "Prince Dora, what a hero." "But after the admiration, I found that Man Dahai turned right like lightning and got into the small forest in the mountains, and the knights of the Qing army realized that the prince had fled." Great Sage, wait for me, Sun Great Sage! Hurry up and get the supernatural powers! ”

Can Mandahai wait for them? The royal cavalry behind had also been killed, and the remaining more than 7,000 Qing soldiers were attacked by the imperial cavalry and the Modao team, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore and were killed one after another. The army of 7,000 was smashed to pieces, and barely bubbled, and then drowned in the vast sea.

The battle of Xiayi delayed Zhu Si's assistance to Du Yinxi and Hong Chengchou for half a day, and he could only continue to rush at dawn the next day. In this battle, the cavalry of the Ming army also lost 34,000 people, and if it were not for the timely arrival of Wang Yongqiang and Qin Yiming's follow-up troops, the losses would have been even greater. However, when cleaning the battlefield, 58,000 war horses of the two armies were harvested, which made the current war horse reserve of Daming reach 86,500. Walking on the battlefield of the Mo Dao team, Zhu Si was a little distressed, these war horses that were chopped by the Mo Dao were all good horses, and they were the most lacking military resources in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Siyi gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, cleaned up the dead war horses, threw them all into the pot and stewed them, and didn't forget to open two bottles of cold beer when he was eating and chewing.

The war horses of the Ming army have been increasing, although they can't catch up with the number of war horses of the Qing army for a while, but they can fight with the main force of 40,000 Eight Banners for most of the day, which shows the growth of this imperial cavalry. The continuous increase in the reserve of war horses also laid a good foundation for the expansion of the scale of the Ming army's cavalry in the future.

The people of the northwest border pass and the water and soil nurtured by the broad field make them have a lot of good riders, which is a fight with the Han people in Liaodong, but at this time Liaodong is still too far away from the Ming Dynasty. In fact, no matter how many war horses there are, they can be used as decorations in the hands of a nation that has lost its blood. At the time of the Mengjin showdown, there was a bloody battle in Yehuling, where 100,000 Mongolian cavalry beat 200,000 Dajin cavalry and 250,000 infantry. In the end, only tens of thousands of Jin troops escaped, and since then, the elite soldiers of the Jin army have been lost, and there are no good generals, and they have been hung and beaten for decades until they perished.

In the south of the desert and north of the Great Wall, there were millions of horses in the Jin Dynasty at that time, don't believe it, this is real data, but who would have thought that so many war horses were raised for the Mongols in the end. It wasn't until more than ten years later that the Jin Army once again had a more decent cavalry - the Zhongxiao Army, which was the army led by the heroic monk Wanyan Chen. But this army does not have many young true knights, most of them are composed of Han and ethnic minorities in the border area. In 1232, in the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain in Junzhou, the last elite of the Jin Dynasty, including the Zhongxiao Army, was wiped out by less than 50,000 Mongol cavalry under Torrey. The commander Wanyan Heda and the general Wanyan Chen were captured and killed. The more than 100-year-old Dajin Dynasty also died in Caizhou two years later, which was very close to the decisive battle between the Ming and Qing armies at this time.
