"Rabbit Ridge!" The fleeing Alatan Khan's eyes flashed: "As long as you don't get caught up by the frightened horses before escaping to the Rabbit Ridge, you can gather people and horses in the Rabbit Ridge and fight again with the Ming Dynasty, the Rabbit Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the best place to turn defeat into victory." ”
"Big brother!"
Luo Xin frantically urged the horse, he saw that the eldest brother Luo Qing was riding into the dust, and had already rushed into Huang Taiji's cavalry group, and his heart was very anxious. He knew the strength of the Mongol cavalry. Historically, Ma Fang also succeeded in stealing the camp, and at first defeated the panicked Mongol army, but Alatan Khan decisively and calmly let Huang Taiji lead the left and right armies to alternately block and withstand Ma Fang's attack, and finally retreated north safely, and set up a position to confront Ma Fang at Rabbit Ridge.
And Ma Fang, who won the first battle, pursued the victory, led his troops to continue to advance Altan, gritted his teeth and intended revenge Altan continued to engage Ma Fang in Rabbit Ridge, Yinlong River and other places, even if Ma Fang's painstaking training efforts over the years finally saw the effect, the brave Xuanfu elite cavalry repeatedly fought and killed, sword soldiers, musketeers, and cavalry archers rushed back and forth like waves, and the tactics of muskets and iron cavalry cooperating with each other to charge made the Mongolian army who were only good at riding and shooting frustrated one after another, and the uniform rush and roaring musket projectiles were under the war, The previously invincible Mongol warriors were defeated one after another, and suffered heavy casualties in several engagements.
However, after all, Altan's army was well-trained, and whenever it encountered an unfavorable situation in battle, it was able to give full play to its mobility advantage and retreat safely by alternating cover, and then fought five consecutive battles, Ma Fang attacked, the Mongol army was defeated, Ma Fang chased, and the Mongol army retreated. Moreover, Ma Fang's army also suffered heavy casualties.
Unwilling to admit defeat, Altan fought and retreated, and gradually retreated to the Huai'an area on the border of the Ming Dynasty. Then give full play to the mobility of the Mongolian cavalry to gather and annihilate it, Ma Fang really led the troops to break through, Altan was overjoyed, and was about to encircle and annihilate it, but saw the Ming army on both wings of the Mongolian army, it turned out that Ma Fang had already arranged for his 'family soldiers' to break through from the flank, and cut off the Mongolian army after the battle began, and an ambush battle originally planned by Altan became a war of annihilation of the Ming army. This battle "lasted day and night, and the killing was very fierce," Ma Fang himself still took the lead in rushing through the enemy formation, and even "swords were cut down three times" between the charges, and after a night of vicious fighting, the arrogant Mongolian cavalry finally fell in front of the tenacious spirit of the Ming army, and hurriedly threw down the corpses of the battlefield and pulled out the horses and dispersed.
It was the first crushing defeat in the life of Altan Khan, who had previously fought all over the steppes. Get out of the jam, run, and break the enemy. Chase and kill, fight to the death, seven battles and seven victories, Ma Fang won a complete victory in a 'madman'. For the defeat of the Ming army, which has become a 'habit', won a victory with eyebrows raised. From Xuanfu to Datong, from Datong to Huai'an, the distance of Ma Fang's army was as long as 1,000 miles in this battle. It reproduces the iron-blooded military might of the Great Ming Tiger Division. Stirring the clouds and the moon under the thousands of miles.
But before Huai'an, Alatan Khan was only undefeated and did not suffer many casualties. On the contrary, he repelled Ma Fang's attacks countless times, causing Ma Fang to suffer a lot of casualties. At this time, Luo Qing rushed in alone, is this a death?
In Luo Xin's opinion, the fluke component of their success this time accounted for the vast majority, if it weren't for the fire thunderbolt made of black powder that frightened Huang Taiji's war horse, they would have been sent to death at all. Even tens of thousands of people led by the horse madman were successfully blocked by Alatan Khan, not to mention such a few hundred of them? In fact, Luo Xin was already prepared, if the four hundred fire thunderbolts could not have the effect he wanted, he would immediately flee with these people, anyway, he knew that even if these four hundred fire thunderbolts could not startle the other party, they would effectively prevent the other party from pursuing, so that they could evacuate calmly It would not be a problem. Letting Alatan Khan's fifty or sixty thousand military camp roar can already be regarded as a great achievement.
The result was that Luo Xin was very happy, and in Luo Xin's opinion, he only had to follow behind. When the frightened horse eases up, Ma Fang behind should catch up, just hand over the follow-up war to Ma Fang. But he never imagined that his eldest brother would rush into the ranks of the Mongolian horses like crazy.
What does Luo Qing want to do?
He wanted to kill the commander and capture the flag, and he rushed to Alatan Khan.
It was also the first time for Luo Qing to see such a grand war scene, and the whole person was in a state of extreme excitement, full of thoughts of cutting off Alatan Khan's head. However, when he rushed into the ranks of the Mongol horses, it was as if he had fallen into a torrent, and his movements were no longer under his control, and he was carried forward by this torrent. Even if he wielded the sword and killed countless surrounding Mongolian cavalry, he could not change the situation in the slightest.
Luo Qing woke up from his state of excitement, and looked around to find that he was in a bad situation now, but at this time, it was impossible to slow down and get out of the frightened horse, so he could only rush forward by being coerced.
Behind him, Luo Xin also rushed into the crowd of frightened horses and moved closer to Luo Qing, but once he fell into the group of frightened horses, he immediately had to be passive, watching himself being carried forward by this torrent.
At this time, not to mention the four hundred cavalry, it was Zhang Cheng, Gao Wu and Liu Shouyou were also blank in their minds, they just instinctively followed Luo Xin to rush forward, and when they saw Luo Xin rushing into the group of frightened horses, these people also rushed in. Then they all woke up from their excitement, looked around, and couldn't help but show a wry smile, a trace of helplessness and a trace of fear, and they could only be coerced forward.
The sound of horses' hooves behind rumbled, Ma Fang's army quickly approached, Ma Fang looked ahead, but only saw about two thousand infantry in pursuit, looking towards the front of the infantry, but could not see the army of the Ming Dynasty, Luo Xin and their hundreds of people were mixed in the middle of tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and in the night, they couldn't tell at all. Ma Fang's army had already caught up with Luo Qing and those infantry on Taihang Mountain at this time, so he shouted loudly:
"Are you Datong's soldiers? Where is Mr. Jiang? ”
Those infantry looked stunned, what do they have to do with General Jiang?
An infantryman blurted out, "We are Captain Luo's men." ”
The infantry of Taihang Mountain over there also hurriedly spoke: "We are the subordinates of the leader of Taihang Mountain. ”
Ma Fang's expression was stunned, and he secretly said in his heart, what kind of mess is this, who is Captain Luo? Taihang Mountain? Isn't that a bandit? Why did they come too?
