Tu Hai is all in this mind, not to mention the soldiers under his command, since those rebels of the former Ming Dynasty dare to catch up, it means that they do have the confidence to defeat the Manchu army.

The Manchu army has been in the world for decades, and there is always some arrogance in their hearts, they don't look down on all the Han soldiers, and they all agree that all the Han soldiers should run for their lives when they see them, and now they have encountered this kind of abnormal thing, plus they have been dealt with three times by the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Trick, they are indeed a little afraid in their hearts, and the Manchu warriors are not afraid of anything, but they do not dare to compete with heaven and earth.

It didn't take long for Huangfu Tong to lead people to the front, and the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty quickly broke through the first line of defense of the Manchu army.

Tu Hai's eyes widened: "Whoever takes a step back dies!" ”

The surrounding guards immediately shouted loudly: "Death to those who take a step back!" ”

All the troops in front of them thought in their hearts was that at this time, it was only a hundred miles away from Tongguan City, so it was better to retreat to Tongguan City, even if they could summon the heavenly thunder, at least there would be a city wall to block it.

Huangfu Tong is not a brute person, he had thought about it as early as on the way here, it was easy to plunge into today's battle, but it was not easy to get out. Although he is not afraid of death, he is also not willing to die so worthless.

So the cavalry, having broken through the first layer of the formation, did not continue to go deeper, but diverted to both sides.

The first layer of the military formation is the minimum goal set by Huang Futong, if you can't even break through the first layer of the military formation, you can't talk about hitting the morale of the Tu Navy.

Sure enough, after the first layer of the military formation was broken through, Tuhai's army was immediately in chaos, because the last time was injured by Cheng Xiaolian's palm thunder, so most of the cavalry's military horses are still recovering, these military horses can not go into battle in a short period of time, in the past, the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty pressed the infantry of the Ming Dynasty, and the warriors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had suffered this kind of grievance.

But the situation is not up to anyone, they are now a small number of cavalry can not stop the cavalry of the Ming army, and the foot soldiers cannot cause large-scale damage to the cavalry in a short time. Therefore, after Huangfu Tong's cavalry diverted to both sides, even the archers in the Tu navy could not target them.

Tuhai roared angrily: "Everyone obeys my military orders, and immediately attack with all the troops and kill these cavalry." ”

The news from there has made him completely understand, this time the Ming army only has these cavalry, and there is no training infantry, that is to say, this is a lone army, since it is a lone army, there is no need to be afraid of them, just crush them directly.

Although the soldiers in the army were reluctant, the commander gave an order, and if he dared to disobey, he would definitely be subject to military law, so they all rushed forward with courage.

Huang Futong had already found out that Tuhai's cavalry did not attack at all, and at the beginning he was still worried about whether Tuhai had some conspiracy, so he deliberately did not release the cavalry, but after fighting for a while, he finally found that everywhere he looked, the cavalry he saw were fighting desperately with him, and the rest could not even see the horses.

Thinking of the situation of the battle a few days ago, Huang Futong came to a conclusion, the war horse in the Tu Navy was frightened, and now he could not go into battle, he was ecstatic to get this conclusion, because if this was the case, he would be able to come and go unhindered, and he would be able to implement his plan.

Of course, he is not completely sure of this when he is in the army, according to His Highness, Tuhai is a tricky person, and it is easy to fall for him if he is not careful, so it is also possible that he will hide the cavalry and wait for the fatal blow to Huangfu Tong.

But there is not much time to think on the battlefield, what is tested is the judgment of the generals on both sides, which is why some people can become famous generals in the world, and some people can only become stepping stones for others.

Huangfu Tong immediately made his own decision: "Break another layer of military formation." ”

After the cavalry diverted from both sides, it returned to the starting point and began to charge again, at this time the artillery and bows and arrows in the army were all arranged, and Tuhai gave an order and immediately began to shoot at the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.

But decades ago, as early as outside the pass, the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty confirmed a truth, the damage of archers to cavalry is far less than the damage that cavalry can cause, so when the Manchu Qing Dynasty rose, the Ming Dynasty almost never won a field battle.

Huang Futong and his soldiers naturally did not have any benevolent thoughts, and quickly broke through another layer of military formation.

At this time, Tu Hai's face was already very ugly, even if others didn't remind him, he understood that the morale of his soldiers could no longer be defeated, and if he continued to fight, the first rout of the Manchu warriors would appear.

Tu Hai sighed: "Withdraw the troops, quickly send an order to the guards of Tongguan and let them prepare to respond." Then he glanced at the lieutenant general beside him: "You come to organize the retreat." ”

The deputy general also understood Tu Hai's mind at this time, this kind of thing must not be done by Tu Hai himself, otherwise Tu Hai's prestige will be seriously hit. He must do this kind of thing when the strong man breaks his wrist, and Tuhai can stay out of it afterwards.

So the adjutant general immediately arranged for a part of the soldiers to resist the attack of the former Ming army, and Tuhai led people to retreat strategically.

Thinking of this, Tuhai felt a little aggrieved, if he had just arrived in Shaanxi, how could he have been afraid of this offensive, but the tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and finally destroyed Wang Pingfan, the injury was too serious, and he had not recovered his vitality and fought with the former Ming army for so long, and now even the morale has fallen to the bottom, and I am afraid that it will not be able to slow down in a few months, so I can only remobilize the army to fight again.

At this time, Wang Jiyong under Tongguan City also got the news that His Royal Highness had launched an offensive on his side, and the order he got here was to adapt to the situation.

Wang Jiyong's temperament is very straight, even if he wants to lead the army to press up, Shao Lingzhi grabbed him: "If Your Highness wants you to attack back and forth, you will definitely tell us in the military order, but this is about improvisation, which means that we have more important things to do?" ”

"What else can be more important than killing Tuhai, as long as we kill Tuhai, we can occupy the entire Shaanxi."

"Young General, you listen to my advice, let's wait and see what happens, Your Highness must have other arrangements."

Having said this, Wang Jiyong can only nod, Shao Lingzhi's words are also reasonable, if His Royal Highness arranges a two-phase attack, he will definitely say bluntly in the military order, what to say now to improvise, he must let himself grasp it, and Shao Lingzhi said it to this point, if he insists on going his own way, it will inevitably hurt the old general's heart.

Shao Lingzhi laughed: "Major General, now that all the horses are sent out, we must grasp the news of the battlefield as soon as possible and make the most correct judgment." In order to truly be improvised. ”

Soon they got the news of Tuhai's defeat, and Shao Lingzhi laughed: "Your Highness is really a god, I really can't believe it, how can I defeat Tuhai with those troops." ”
