"Kill......"
To the west of this small village called Maguanying, on this open land, two cavalry teams were fighting to the death.
And a few miles to the southeast of the Maguan camp, it was also the place where the White Dragon Army had just wiped out the thousands of Tartars.
At this time, the only more than 100 people in this small village were all disturbed by the shouts of killing in both directions, and the villagers were so frightened that they dragged their families and fled for their lives.
In fact, if it weren't for the appearance of the White Dragon Army, this small village with dozens of households and more than 100 families, once discovered by the Tartar army of Zabek, it is estimated that the time of a stick of incense will turn it into ashes.
This small place of Maguanying, it is estimated that no one knew about it before, and it cannot be found on the map, but after today, its name will be known to the world.
Because, this is the place where the White Dragon Army defeated the Tartars for the first time, and even wiped out an elite Tartar army, once it spreads, the impact will be very huge.
"Kill!"
On this side, a team of cavalry led by Luo Chao once again rushed together with Zabek's Tatar cavalry, which was very similar to the first charge.
Two long dragons wound together, their sharp claws blurring each other's flesh and blood.
However, when the two sides rushed halfway through each other, suddenly in the center of the White Dragon Army's cavalry formation, a banner of more than 50 elite cavalry led by Ma Rui suddenly broke away from the team.
They suddenly separated from the cavalry formation of the White Dragon Army and plunged into the charging array of the Tartar cavalry on one side.
"Kill!"
Ma Rui roared angrily, pulled out a half-meter-long short lance with a half-sharp spearhead embedded in the front from his saddle, and threw it with all his might, hitting a Tartar cavalryman directly.
And the fifty cavalry of the White Dragon Army behind him also followed their banner commander and attacked the Tartar cavalry in front with a short throwing spear they were equipped with.
This short throwing gun was specially prepared by Luo Chao for their attack.
Ma Rui led fifty 'flying feather' cavalry and rammed into the Tartar cavalry formation, but these Tartars were running at high speed, and the fifty of them rushed through the middle.
Suddenly, he encountered the huge force of the Tartar war horses rushing at high speed from behind, and for a while, people turned on their backs, and more than half of the fifty 'flying feather' cavalry were directly knocked over.
And their sacrifice, in exchange, directly cut off the Tartar cavalry, and the Tartars led in front of Zabeka continued to gallop past.
However, the more than 300 Tartar cavalry in the back caused the Tatar cavalry in front to knock over more than 20 'flying feather' cavalry, creating a wall of flesh and blood with dozens of men and horses.
Let the Tartar cavalry who continued to rush behind them stop their horses one after another, and they couldn't rush at all.
This wall of flesh and blood, which has dozens of war horses and people falling to the ground, is not comparable to just one person or one war horse.
In the face of such a scene, it was impossible for the Tartar cavalry who rushed up from behind to rush over again, so they had to stop and go around from one side.
But on their left was the cavalry that Luo Chao had just led the charge, so they could only rush to the right and continue to keep up with their own team in front.
However, Ma Rui led more than 20 'flying feather' cavalry who survived and were not knocked over, blocking their way forward and fighting.
With only Ma Rui's twenty or so horsemen, it was impossible to stop the more than 300 Tartar cavalry behind, but they were able to stop them for a moment.
And Ma Rui wants this moment's time, and he is also what they have to fight for with their entire fifty horsemen.
A whole fifty elite 'flying feather' cavalry, just to fight to separate the Tartar cavalry, this short time.
At this time, there was a scene on the battlefield, and the fifty cavalry of the White Dragon Army broke the cavalry formation of the Tartars with a decisive posture.
And this scene suddenly fell into the eyes of Qi Wei, who had been riding a horse and jogging on one side, and suddenly a bright gaze burst out in his eyes.
"Now, brothers, rush with me, kill all these Tartars, leave no one behind, kill!"
Qi Wei was the first to ride his horse forward and roared loudly, and then more than 600 'Flying Feather' cavalry behind him accelerated on horseback and rumbled towards the battlefield.
Qi Wei took his team of cavalry and cut into the battlefield in full strength, and pounced on the more than 300 Tartar cavalry who were temporarily intercepted by Ma Rui.
The short distance of two hundred meters is an instant for a cavalry charging at full speed.
Puff puff......
The second cavalry team led by Qi Wei suddenly had an extremely sharp spear directly through the three hundred Tartar cavalry from the middle, and this time it really cut them off.
One by one, the Tartar cavalry was caught off guard, and was easily cut off the horse by Qi Wei and others, and it didn't take them a moment to penetrate the formation.
"Turn around, kill back!"
After Qi Wei led the team to kill through the Tartar cavalry formation, he roared, and the war horse did not slow down, pulled the reins of the horse, let the war horse turn, made a big bend, and killed back again.
"Haha, Ma Rui succeeded, and Lao Qi also came in, let's win, kill the Tartars!"
After Luo Chao led the team to rush over, when he took the incomplete team again and turned his head, he found that Qi Wei had already led people to kill the Tartar formation.
At this moment, Luo Chaoke was excited, he knew that his tactics had succeeded, and he paid the price of a full fifty horsemen, fighting for the best opportunity for Qi Wei to attack.
The more than 300 Tartar cavalry who were stopped by Ma Rui had been completely cut through by Qi Wei at this time, and the next thing was to eat him in one go.
So, Luo Chao didn't care to check how many cavalry were left in the team behind him, and shouted to kill back.
At this time, what Luo Chao didn't know was that the cavalry behind him, which was originally a full six hundred and fifty horsemen, was only less than four hundred horsemen at this time, and more than half of the casualties were lost.
But even so, with Luo Chao's loud roar, all the cavalry soldiers also saw the scene of Qi Wei leading the team to rush to kill the Tartars, and their morale suddenly rose, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
They forgot their pain, they forgot their tiredness, they forgot everything, and now their eyes were red, and there was only one thought in their hearts, and that was to rush over and kill all these Tartar cavalry.
In the nearly half hour of fighting, the comrades-in-arms around them disappeared one by one, and they were all wounded.
They endured the sadness in their hearts, turned sadness and anger into strength, and at this time, under the leadership of Luo Chao, they rushed forward again.
Zabek led more than 200 Tatar cavalry in front of him at this time and rushed over, but then there was a shocking shout of killing behind his ears, which made his heart chuckle.
When he turned around, he saw three hundred cavalry stopped behind him.
Moreover, when Qi Wei had already led the team to completely chisel through it with an indomitable posture, Zabek's eyes turned black and he almost fell off his horse.
"It's over, it's over, it's over, it's lost, it's still losing. The general of this Ming cavalry was really ruthless enough to use such a ruthless trick. ”
Zabek looked at the dozens of White Dragon Army cavalry in front of him who had been knocked over and killed, and his eyes were fixed, and he guessed what had just happened.
If Zabek was to be used as such a sacrifice for fifty Tatar cavalry at one time, to be honest, he really couldn't do it.
Originally, there were not many of their Tartar cavalry, and each of them was offered as a treasure, so how could they be willing to sacrifice like this.
Zabek didn't know that they had few Tartar cavalry, and at this time, the cavalry of the White Dragon Army was even less, and the entire White Dragon Army had tens of thousands of horses.
However, Li Zixiao spent all his efforts to make such a cavalry team of more than 1,000 people.
If this battle continues, even if the cavalry battalion is not fundamentally injured, it is enough to greatly damage its vitality, and I am afraid that it will not be able to participate in the big war in a short time.
And at this time, Luo Chao was dripping blood in his heart while charging, not only because his subordinates suffered too many casualties, but also because of the loss of Ma Rui, a capable subordinate.
Luo Chao's eyes looked forward many times, but he didn't find Ma Rui's figure at all, and Ma Rui's chances of survival were very slim.
"Kill!"
At this moment, Luo Chao burst into tears, his voice was hoarse, the spear in his hand danced, a string of blood droplets splashed, and the head of the spear cut off the head of a Tartar cavalryman.
His eyes were full of murderous intent, and with the cavalry behind him, he continued to cut through and divide the three hundred Tartar cavalry that had been stopped, taking the lives of one Tartar cavalry after another.
"My lord, take us back! We can't watch these bright dogs slaughter our warriors! ”
A Tartar Niulu, covered in blood and holding a blood-stained long knife, rode up to Zabek and said angrily.
Zabek's face was cloudy at this time, and he really wanted to lead the team back at this time.
But in this way, he could only give way to the only two hundred Tartar cavalry left behind him, and then get in.
At this time, the overall situation of the battlefield has been decided, they are defeated, if there are no reinforcements, only the two hundred people in his hands will not be able to reverse the tide of the battle.
Zabek is their first warrior with the blue flag 'Baturu', not only brave, but also proficient in the art of war and strategy, and is also one of the few generals in the Eight Banners Tartar who can understand Chinese characters and read military books.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to make several great achievements at the age of just in his early thirties, and he was valued by Haoge, and he was exceptionally promoted to Jiala, and he commanded the five bulls with the blue flag.
"Let's withdraw!"
In the end, Zabek gritted his teeth and gave the order to withdraw.
"Adult ......"
The Niu Lu next to him looked unwilling, and he wanted to continue, but was directly interrupted by Zabek.
"Don't say it, we're planted this time, and no matter how much we rush up, we won't be able to save the defeat, and I'll ask Haugbel for guilt when I go back, so let's leave some fire for us to set the blue flag!"
After Zabek finished speaking, he directly spat out a mouthful of blood, this battle was too big a blow for him.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to go back alive and report the situation of this special Ming army to Haoge, he would have led people to kill him at this time, and he even wanted to die on the battlefield at this time.
If he dies in battle, he will still be a warrior of the Qing Dynasty, but if he returns with his two hundred remnants of the defeated army, he will become a disgrace to the entire Tartar army.
Although he knew that he would not end well if he returned, he was still determined to withdraw with his two hundred remnants.
Thundered......
Zabek decisively led two hundred Tatar cavalry and headed directly to the north.
And the remaining 300 Tartar cavalry, at this time, were still continuously chiseled and divided by the cavalry team led by Luo Chao and Qi Wei, and they were crushed, slaughtered, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely wiped out.
"Old Qi, that Tatar cavalry is going to escape." Luo Chao glanced at Zabek with his eyes and left with his troops, and shouted at Qi Wei.
"Da Niu, you bring your flag for Lao Tzu to chase up, entangle them for Lao Tzu, and rush to support you when we eat these tartars."
Qi Wei shouted loudly to one of the flag generals behind him.
"Yes, Sanqi, for Lao Tzu."
The black-faced strong man answered loudly and beckoned to his men behind him, and more than two hundred horsemen immediately separated and chased towards the north.
After a stick of incense, all the three hundred tartars here were eaten by Luo Chao and Qi Wei, and the two left more than 100 horsemen to clean the battlefield, and personally led the men and horses to the north to pursue.
After almost seven or eight miles of pursuit, Luo Chao and Qi Wei saw that behind a hillside, two groups of cavalry were fighting together.
It was the banner cavalry sent by Qi Wei before, and the two hundred Tatar cavalry that fled north with Zabek.
"The big cow is entangled in the Tartar, kill me with me!" When Qi Wei saw it, he roared angrily and rushed over with people.
"It's not good, Minggou's cavalry has caught up, Baiwotai, you take thirty horsemen to stay behind, and the others will withdraw with me." Zabek had to break his wrist one last time.
"Kill!"
Qi Wei and Luo Chao, as well as the cavalry officers and soldiers under them, were already red-eyed, how could they easily stop and chase Zabek all the way north.
After chasing for more than 20 miles, it was about to be chased to the boundary of Zhuozhou, and the two of them collected their troops.
Zabek was chased down along the way, and more than 200 horsemen in his hand were killed and wounded all the way, and in the end, only about 60 horsemen escaped with him.
And Qi Wei and Luo Chao collected the corpses of the dead cavalry of the White Dragon Army along the way, collected the living war horses and brought them back, and returned to the Maguan camp.
When they returned, they counted the casualties of their men, which really startled the two of them.
After the battle of their two teams of cavalry, although they eliminated nearly 700 Tartar cavalry, their own casualties also reached a staggering 380 people.
This is still when they are twice as many as the enemy and occupy the battlefield advantage, and they have paid nearly 400 casualties, how can they not be frightened!
In this battle, there were very few wounded soldiers on both sides, and basically all of them ended in death, which was very tragic.
By the end of the day, the White Dragon Army had only a dozen wounded soldiers.
As for the Tartars, there are no wounded soldiers at all, how can the cavalry soldiers who killed the red eyes leave the Tartars alive!
After the inventory was over, the White Dragon Army lost more than 130 war horses, but in the end it captured more than 500 Tartar war horses, which was considered a gain.
There were also sabers, bows and arrows, armor, etc., scattered all over the battlefield, and the White Dragon Army pulled them all from those Tartar corpses and took them away.
"Report to the general, we seem to have found the body of General Ma Qi, but it ......."
In the end, a cavalry commander of the White Dragon Army walked up to Luo Chao and reported, but in the end, he obviously looked embarrassed.
"Go, take me there."
Luo Chao didn't look at the face of the cavalry commander, he heard that after finding Ma Rui's body, his face showed joy, and he immediately urged.
"This ......"
However, when the cavalry commander took Luo Chao and Qi Wei to the so-called Ma Rui's corpse, Luo Chao was stunned.
Because there was still a corpse in front of me, it was simply a pile of flesh and blood, and this flesh and blood body had been completely trampled into flesh by the horse's hooves, and blood, flesh foam and dirt were mixed together.
The only thing that could make them identify Ma Rui's identity was the cotton armor on his body, and the name written on a strip of cloth sewn on the chest of the cotton armor.
It's completely normal to think about it, the two teams of cavalry led by Qi Wei and Luo Chao, and in the end, they repeatedly rushed to kill the three hundred Tatar cavalry that were left behind.
More than a thousand war horses have rushed back and forth here dozens of times, and every inch of land here has been trampled by horses' hooves.
Not only Ma Rui's corpse, but also the corpses of many White Dragon Army cavalry soldiers or Tartar cavalry around are all like this, the earlier the people who die in battle, the more their corpses are trampled on.
"I should have thought it was like this." In the end, Luo Chao said with a wry smile on his face.
