Wang Shiqiang had just led his subordinates to reluctantly form a phalanx, and before he could arrange the defensive deployment, the vanguard of the Mongol cavalry finally arrived.

These Mongolian cavalry, who easily dispersed the forward troops of the Ming army, probably felt that they thought that the battle was already in sight, so the Mongolian cavalry at the forefront was a little excited.

They drove the Ming army to their heart's content, and suddenly saw a line of defense composed of vehicles on the official road in front of them, a team of Ming troops actually did not run, and they were hiding behind this line of defense to block them, and the 10 Mongolian soldiers who ran in the front didn't even think about it, so they drove their mounts to rush in from the seams of the vehicles.

The 4 or 5 cavalrymen who had just rushed into the car formation were stabbed down by the dense Ming army spears in the car formation before they could cut down a few people, but these cavalry had also cleared a rotating open space for the cavalry behind.

The several cavalry who rushed in later, with an open space where they could maneuver, immediately gave full play to the advantages of cavalry over infantry. These Mongolian cavalrymen, except for one or two people who used the Yanling knife of the Ming army, the others used iron whips or iron thistle bones, and after rushing into the car formation, they immediately brandished their weapons and slashed left and right.

The Ming army, who had just stabbed a few Mongolian cavalrymen, had no time to rejoice, when a platoon of Ming troops immediately fell, and even their spears were broken by these Tartars. The Ming army in the car formation suddenly unconsciously retreated a few steps, and the Mongolian cavalry, which had more space, rushed towards the Ming army that had lost its formation without any scruples, trying to force the Ming army in the front row to squeeze the Ming army in the rear and lose the space to attack themselves.

Wang Shiqiang, who was still standing in the car, looked at these extremely brave Mongolian Tartars in amazement, and he felt that these Tartars must have taken the wrong medicine. These Mongols have never had the courage to storm the Ming army's array, first, the Mongols are poorly equipped, and they do not have the double armor worn by the Jurchen charging cavalry.

The second is that the Mongols have always been without the restraint of military discipline, and the soldiers who charge into battle are basically a mortal task, and without strict military discipline constraints, it is impossible for these Mongols to use their lives to rush the position of the Ming army, and then let others enjoy the spoils of war. Among the Mongol tribes, there was no rule that those who rushed into battle should receive an extra share of the booty, but they would take it from their own private possession, and the lion's share would go to the tribal lord.

Before he could recover his senses, the Mongol cavalry arrived, but instead of trying to rush in, the Mongols began to shoot arrows around the chariot formation. The Mongols' cavalry bows were soft, but they had a fast rate of fire.

Dozens of arrows were shot into the car formation in a row, and more than ten people were injured at once, and under this kind of internal and external attack, the hundreds of Ming troops in the car formation suddenly became a little confused, and some Ming soldiers had secretly climbed onto the wheel, as if they wanted to push the vehicle away and run out.

"That's the defeat, it's over." Wang Shiqiang's mind was blank, if it weren't for the emperor in the rear, he would really have no good fruit to eat if he surrendered now, so he would have dropped his weapon and surrendered.

"General, if you don't fight back, your hearts will be scattered. Quickly order the brother with the firearm to get into the car, stand on the car and kill the intruding Tartars, and then turn around to deal with the outside. A general flag who was squeezed in the crowd and couldn't move, anxiously shouted at Wang Shiqiang, who was still fluting.

Wang Shiqiang finally reacted, he gritted his teeth and shouted to several personal soldiers around him: "Let the firearms soldiers get on the car, kill the Tatar cavalry who broke in first, and the people in front of him take their spears and sit on the ground, and don't move..."

Wang Shiqiang's timely order finally stabilized the Ming army, which was already a little panicked, and dozens of firearms soldiers climbed onto the side van and fired at the Mongolian cavalry who were still trying to drive the Ming army to flee outside the formation. * The burning smoke suddenly covered half of the car formation, Wang Shiqiang waved away the smoke in front of him with his hand, and saw the five or six Tartar cavalry who were originally scurrying around in the formation, and only one or two people were still sitting on horses.

At this time, the two Mongolian cavalrymen seemed to come to their senses and began to turn their horses' heads, trying to escape from the chariot formation. However, the Ming army in the formation was inspired by this situation, scolded angrily and rushed forward, forcibly pulled down the two cavalrymen who had lost their speed and courage, and killed the two with the weapons in their hands.

At this time, 5 or 60 Mongol cavalry had gathered outside the chariot formation, and they only then tried to come forward to meet the Mongol cavalry who had rushed in earlier, and broke a hole in the Ming army's chariot formation, so that these cavalry could be poured into this chariot formation.

However, the Ming army in the formation had already killed the Mongol cavalry that rushed in at this time, and they still had the courage to resist these Mongols by relying on these vehicles on the periphery as a barrier.

Inspired by Wang Shiqiang's personal leadership of the team, coupled with the Ming army's use of dozens of firearms at a very close range, these Mongolian cavalry left more than a dozen corpses, and then hurriedly retreated to repair.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves in the distance getting more and more dense, Wang Shiqiang also knew that the Tartars' brigade had finally arrived, so he appointed four commanders, each responsible for the defense of the chariot formation, and he took the rest of the men and horses to respond to the more fierce attack of the Mongols.

Wang Shiqiang sat cross-legged on the high platform of the two cars in the middle, observing the situation outside. The group of Mongolian cavalry stopped about 60 paces away from the northeast corner of the formation, and a Mongolian leader wearing a red cloth armor ran in front of the Mongolian cavalry, escorted by a group of cavalry.

The Mongol leader listened to what the Mongol general who led the group said, looked into the car formation for a while, turned back to the Mongol general, and then returned to his own team with the people.

Wang Shiqiang immediately ordered the soldiers to the east and north to prepare and wait for another Mongol attack. However, he was desperately prepared, and the Mongol Tartars did not hesitate to continue west along the official road, and the Mongol leader in red armor also bypassed their phalanx, leaving only a small group of men and horses to monitor their phalanx in the northeast.

A subordinate hurriedly ran to Wang Shiqiang and pleaded: "General, these Mongols want to continue to drive the rout to attack the Chinese army and the rear guard, should we shoot to stop it?" If the Chinese army and the rearguard are also crushed, we will have to fight alone. ”

Wang Shiqiang gritted his teeth and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "We are too busy to take care of ourselves now, as long as these Mongolian Tatars don't come to attack us, we won't provoke them."

His Majesty only asked us to hold out for 1 hour, but did not say that he wanted us to help the Chinese army attract firepower. If we annoy the Mongol Tartars, who are bent on attacking us, how long will we last? ”

Wang Shiqiang's answer made the subordinate silent, but since this boss is willing to take responsibility, these subordinates naturally will not risk their lives. Just after more than a dozen Tartars rushed in, they killed more than 20 people, wounded more than 30 people, and almost killed one-sixth of the combat strength in the phalanx.

The Ming army hiding in the phalanx is very frightened, and it is estimated that if there is another battle like this, everyone will run away. Because they knew that the emperor was behind with a large army, these Ming soldiers did not dare to surrender if they surrendered, but there was still no psychological burden to escape.

When Engeldel was advancing with the main force, he saw that the two Niu Lu who served as the strikers were actually forced to stop by a phalanx temporarily formed by the Ming army, which made him run over angrily, and scolded the Nang Yuke who served as the striker, and told him to hurry up and continue to move forward, not to give the Ming army a chance to organize, as for arranging a team of people to watch here.

Based on his understanding of the Ming army, although these Ming troops were still somewhat decent in defending the city, once they encountered the enemy in the field, as long as their back route was cut off, these Ming troops would scatter and flee.

Therefore, now the vanguard should pursue the rout as soon as possible until the command system of the entire Ming army is broken, and let the various units of the Ming army fight separately, so that they can destroy these separated Ming troops one by one, instead of wasting time here by entangling with the phalanx formed by some remnants.

Under Engdel's strict orders, Nangyuke hurriedly gathered his two bulls and continued to move forward. And Engdel also followed, and the leaders of the allied forces of the Mongol tribes, seeing that victory in this battle was in sight, also left their teams and ran to Engdel, wanting to ask for more loot like this Gushan Ezhen of the Mongolian left battalion.

At the time of the war, the leaders of these tribal alliances were not willing to sacrifice the lives of their own clansmen for the Mongol Left Battalion. They surrendered to the Jianzhou Jurchens, not the Ulut Mongol Banner. It was a last resort to work for the Jianzhou Jurchens, after all, the Jianzhou Jurchens' force was too strong.

But what is the Ulut Mongol Banner, it is just a lackey who betrayed his Mongolian compatriots and waged his tail to the Jianzhou Jurchens and begged for mercy. Although everyone is now the lackeys of the Jianzhou Jurchens, there is no reason for them to be demoted by one level and go to be lackeys for the Ulut Mongol Banner.

Therefore, Engdel had to put a few of the Niu Lu of Bayott's tribe in front and let these Mongol tribal coalition forces act as the rearguard. But everyone didn't expect that their own forwards, who originally thought they would suffer heavy losses, now easily broke through the forward troops of the Ming army, and almost won the game at once.

At this time, the leaders of the Mongol tribal coalition army, who had previously refused to serve as the vanguard, now ran over with regret, hoping that Engdel would not eat alone and take out a part of the spoils to distribute to everyone.

Ngedel was naturally unwilling, and while he was perfunctory with these leaders, he took care of himself and led the main force to advance quickly, hoping to defeat the Ming army as soon as possible and put all the captures into his own pocket.

However, these Mongols only saw the Ming officers and soldiers fleeing everywhere at the touch of a button. But it was not found that until now, there were still very few Ming officers and soldiers who surrendered to the Mongols.

No matter how frightened and weeping these officers and soldiers wept, they just kept fleeing, and no one knelt on the side of the road to surrender to these Mongolian cavalry.
