Han Tong sent a team of scouts to find the location of the main force of the official army, but it is estimated that in a short period of time, the main force of the official army behind will not be able to catch up.
Then, Han Tongshou ordered his scout team to wait in the back to rest and wait for the next order given to them by Li Zixiao.
At the critical moment, Han Tong's scout team can also be used as cavalry, and compared with Luo Chao and Qi Wei's two cavalry teams, they practice day and night to charge and slash.
Their scout team is more than capable of this kind of pursuit and rout, charging into battle is not their forte, and wandering pursuit is what they like.
Qi Wei, Luo Chao and Han Tong waited for Li Zixiao's order, and the development of the battle situation ahead also made them very relieved.
Even if this vanguard of the official army is considered to be a relatively elite one they have seen, but in the face of the rock-solid military formation of the White Dragon Army, it is simply a joke to defeat the White Dragon Army.
And Li Zixiao also led his troops to prove the terrifying strength of the White Dragon Army, but in less than half an hour, he defeated 2,000 officers and soldiers.
It's just that at this time, it is roughly estimated that the number of officers and soldiers killed by the White Dragon Army is not less than four hundred.
Basically, it can be said that this vanguard of the officer army has been completely disabled, and Li Zixiao has no intention of letting go of these defeated officers and soldiers easily.
Suddenly, seeing three red letter cannons rising from the White Dragon Army's formation, Qi Wei, Luo Chao and Han Tong knew that Li Zixiao was informing them in advance and was ready to start.
Sure enough, a moment later, the three of them each received a herald who came over to convey Li Zixiao's accurate order to them.
Luo Chao grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, pulled out the saber at his waist with one hand, and shouted at the three hundred cavalrymen behind him: "Brothers, the big boss has an order, kill me out, slaughter this group of officers and soldiers, kill!" ”
"Kill!" Luo Chao's cavalry team of three hundred cavalry shouted in unison, and then turned into a black stream and rushed away.
Luo Chao was already impatient waiting in the back, and when he heard the order, he led the team out first, and his cavalry was also full of energy, and the ** for battle was very strong.
"Haha, Brother Luo is in a hurry, then let's go too, kill!"
On the other side, Qi Wei saw that Luo Chao over there had already set off in advance, so he ordered his subordinates,
When he heard Qi Wei's order, the cavalrymen of the second cavalry team under his command all cheered and jumped on horseback.
They drew their sabers one after another, brandished them and followed Qi Wei with a roar, then rushed out from behind the military formation, and quickly rushed towards the rout in front of them.
Luo Chao and Qi Wei's two cavalry teams came out from the left and right wings of the White Dragon Army formation respectively, and they were mighty, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbled.
Hearing the sound of vibration coming from behind, the officers and soldiers who fled immediately changed color, they knew what it meant, and they fled faster one by one.
No one wants to be left behind, and then they will soon be reduced to live targets for the White Dragoon cavalry, practicing chopping.
The two teams of cavalry soldiers under Luo Chao and Qi Wei were all more energetic with each other, hoping to kill more enemies, and they didn't want to lose to each other.
This kind of competition is inevitable, and where there are people, there is struggle.
Moreover, Li Zixiao was also very happy to see that the two cavalry teams competed with each other, which could better mobilize the enthusiasm of both sides, and healthy competition would be beneficial to each other.
The appearance of the two cavalry was like the White Dragon Army giving birth to two arms, swinging left and right at the same time, smashing heavily into the two wings of the rout.
As for Han Tong's scouts, the number of people was small, less than 100 cavalry, and they targeted those officers and soldiers who fled.
Pity these officers and soldiers, how could two legs run more than four legs, and they were chased behind by the two cavalry of the White Dragon Army in a short time.
After the cavalry of the White Dragon Army caught up with them, they swung their swords and slashed, killing and wounding many officers and soldiers in an instant.
Moreover, it was soon discovered that the main targets of the two cavalry pursuits of the White Wolf Army were not placed on those routers.
Instead, he went straight to Qi Lin, who had already escaped some distance, obviously Qi Lin knew that people recognized his identity and wanted to eat the only force in his hand that had not yet broken down.
"Brother-in-law, the enemy's cavalry is chasing over, none of us can go if we go on like this, I will lead the cavalry team to stay behind to block the enemy's cavalry, you lead people to withdraw quickly."
At this time, Ma Feng also saw the two teams of cavalry killed from behind the White Dragon Army's formation, his face changed suddenly, he gritted his teeth, and said to Qi Lin beside him.
Of course, Qi Lin can also see the crisis of the situation at this time, once he is caught up and entangled by the two cavalry of the White Dragon Army, it is estimated that he will not want to take people away today.
And at this time, Ma Feng could also see this, he stayed to block the enemy, just to buy Qi Lin enough time to escape.
And this time, Ma Feng is likely to be more auspicious, and at this time, it is rare for him to treat Qi Lin for the first time in the army, not to be humble to himself, but to call him brother-in-law.
"Hey, brother, brother-in-law is sorry for you, I must try to come back alive, otherwise how will I explain to your sister when I go back!"
Qi Lin said sadly.
"Haha, brother-in-law, don't worry, my life is big, it's not so easy to die, take care of my sister, if I really ......, my young son in the family will ask my sister and brother-in-law to take care of it."
After Ma Feng said this, he turned his horse's head and immediately shouted to his cavalry officers and soldiers: "Brothers, follow me to kill out, let these rebels see what the real cavalry is, kill!" ”
"Kill!" More than 300 official cavalry, under the leadership of Ma Feng, faced the cavalry of the White Dragon Army.
In the face of the two chasing White Dragon Army cavalry, Ma Feng did not plan to divide his troops to block the attack, but directly led the team to kill Luo Chao's cavalry team on the left flank.
In Ma Feng's plan, as long as he can quickly defeat or suppress a cavalry team on the opposite side with the momentum of thunder, another cavalry team will inevitably come to the rescue.
He didn't believe that such a chaotic army as the White Dragon Army would watch one of his cavalry being eaten in vain.
After all, in his opinion, this chaotic army must have paid a lot of price for being able to form these two cavalry teams, and the cavalry was much more expensive than the infantry army in these years.
In this way, he would be able to buy Qi Lin more time to escape, and as for his initiative to stay and block the enemy this time, he had no intention of returning alive.
Luo Chao looked at a group of official cavalry at this time, and actually rushed towards them, and immediately laughed wildly on horseback.
"Brethren, now is the time to test the fruits of our months of hard training.
Seeing that the cavalry of the official army rushing over on the opposite side didn't, eat them for Lao Tzu, no one should fucking embarrass Lao Tzu, the big boss is watching from behind, kill! ”
Luo Chao roared loudly, and as soon as his words fell, his subordinates immediately converged towards him and arranged in their unique charging formation.
Such a charge against the enemy's cavalry is not as simple as slaughtering the routs along the way.
Luo Chao and his cavalrymen withdrew their sabers into their sheaths at this time, and took a spear from the saddle, holding it in one hand and holding the other end under their armpits.
The sharp spear tip was pointed at the opponent, and then the body was almost attached to the horse's neck, covering their body with the war horse, forming a dense charging formation.
Because the triangular spearhead is relatively fragile, it is okay for infantry to use it for stabbing, but it cannot be used when cavalry charges.
Therefore, at this time, it is more suitable to use the spear as a weapon when the cavalry charges.
After a one-time kill, the cavalry discards it, and the cavalry draws its saber again to fight.
The two groups of cavalry were not very far apart, and at this point they rushed towards each other.
Ma Feng can be described as an experienced officer and cavalry general, and he has already experienced many horse battles like this.
The old subordinates who followed him behind him were basically the remaining elites after many years of elimination on the battlefield.
Everyone can be said to be good at this, and their horse skills are not inferior even to the Mongols on the steppe.
In addition, they have been working together all year round, and they have long formed a strong tacit understanding, and after listening to Ma Feng's shout, they immediately knew what they should do.
So they urged the horses together, and while accelerating forward, they slowly converged together, forming a very dense charging formation.
Don't look at it as an immediate battle, there is really a lot of attention to it.
It also requires the cavalry to cooperate with each other quite tacitly, and when facing the enemy, they also pay attention to a stormtrooping formation.
So the more than 300 officers and cavalry led by Ma Feng soon gathered together and formed an arrow-shaped formation.
With Ma Feng in front as the arrow, the elite men under his command followed him on his left and right flanks, a little further back, covering his flanks.
They were only close enough for a horse to cross each other, and after galloping at high speed, it almost felt as if they were close together.
As they gradually increased their speed, the war horses gradually reached the fastest speed.
Luo Chao on the opposite side also had a solemn face after seeing the cavalry on the opposite side, such a tacit cooperation and excellent formation, and he knew that this official cavalry was not easy to deal with.
Luo Chao's cavalry team was in a team, and everyone also leaned forward, their legs tightly clamped the saddle, their buttocks slightly raised, and they always kept their bodies still.
One by one, they looked at the officers and soldiers opposite, their formations were also neat, and their cooperation was also very tacit, which was the result of the previous rigorous training.
The group of officers and cavalry under Ma Feng not only had superb riding skills, but also practiced excellent riding and archery skills in these years of campaigning.
As soon as the two groups drew nearer, they stood up on their horses, removed their bows from their saddles, and mounted their arrows.
As the two teams entered the firing range, Ma Feng and his men began to fire their bows and arrows.
So, clusters of arrows rained down on Luo Chao's cavalry that rushed towards them.
Luo Chao didn't expect that this group of officers and cavalry would actually shoot on horseback, at this time, it was too late to dodge, so he could only continue to rush forward.
The few cavalrymen who immediately rushed to the front were shot like hedgehogs, and one by one they screamed and fell off their horses.
Then they were immediately rushed over, and the horses of their comrades stepped under their hooves, and they were immediately trampled into a blur of flesh and blood, and they could no longer die.
After seeing this scene, Luo Chao's eyes were bloody, which also aroused the anger of the other cavalry soldiers.
But when they encounter this kind of cavalry that can ride and shoot, they are considered unlucky, and such a price is something they must bear.
"Huh? It is really surprising that this official cavalry can also ride and shoot, and sure enough, as Han Tong said in his intelligence, this official army vanguard is an elite unit. ”
After Li Zixiao saw this scene, he was also a little surprised, after all, cavalry that can do cavalry and archery is rare in the army of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, those cavalry of the border army may be able to do this.
"Fortunately, they rushed in and collided with our troops, plus they were not many in number, and they were out of touch with the main force of the officers and troops behind, so we were able to seize the fighter.
If this officer and army general is steady and steady, without finding out our location, he will set up camp first and wait for the main force of the officer and army behind to arrive and converge.
At that time, we had to face tens of thousands of officers and troops, and it was simply impossible to play this kind of record, and this elite of the official army would be able to play a greater role at that time.
However, it seems that God is helping us, and in this battle, we defeated this kind of elite vanguard of the official army, not only did we cut off Wu Laiyun's arm first.
And when these routs flee back and find the main force of the official army, it will inevitably deal a certain blow to the morale of the official army, and we can be regarded as a good start. ”
Li Zixiao is not worried that this officer and cavalry have turned the sky, at this time the battle situation has been decided, and the defeat of this vanguard officer and soldier is irretrievable.
And Li Zixiao also has enough confidence in Luo Chao and Qi Wei, as well as the cavalry under them.
After Ma Feng's side succeeded in the first arrow, he was not greedy for merit, and immediately put away his riding bow, in fact, as the two teams of cavalry approached quickly, they had no chance to shoot the second arrow.
At this time, the officers and cavalry under Ma Feng also took off their spears from their saddles, clamped them under their armpits, and found an enemy one after another, pointing the sharp tips of their spears at the enemy.
It was too late, that is, in an instant, their two teams of cavalry collided together, and a blood mist suddenly rose.
Then the neighing of horses, the screams of horses, and the 'poof' sound of spears piercing into the flesh and blood of the enemy sounded instantly, and people from both the White Dragon Army and the official cavalry fell off their horses.
The cavalry carried a huge force at such a high speed, and it was difficult to survive once it was stabbed by the spears charged by the enemy.
Not to mention those who fall off the horse, once they fall off the horse, it is basically the result of ten deaths.
Li Zixiao, who was in the distance, was also stunned at this time, looking at Luo Chao's cavalry team under his command and this army of officers and soldiers, colliding together.
This is the first time Li Zixiao has seen such a tragic cavalry charge.
The shocking effect of the cavalry's charge duel was far greater than that of the infantry, which really shocked Li Zixiao at this time.
