"To make the advance of the slave soldiers bow down to the middle of the plan, first we must cover the battlefield, and then send our soldiers and horses to harass and lure the enemy, or they will be tired, or they will be arrogant in pursuit."

Cao Bianjiao's guerrilla attack Yang Shaofan stood up suddenly: "The last general is also willing to go." ”

"Okay, the heavy task of luring the enemy will be handed over to Wang Junmen and Yang Guerrilla."

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Dou both applauded, and finally everyone decided to leave more than 1,000 soldiers in the Wang Dou Department to guard Sun Sanjie's Wu Division, and the rest of the infantry troops were all dispatched. Pinggu's cavalry was also dispatched, concentrating superior forces and dealing the most severe blow to the Aobai vanguard with the yellow flag.

……

On the sixth day of the second month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Pinggu County, Chen Liangtun.

Noon, not at the hour.

Thick smoke and dust rose from the horizon in the distance, accompanied by a muffled thunderous sound of horses' hooves, and a large area of black and oppressive cavalry rushed towards the Daxingzhuang area. Most of these cavalrymen were dressed in yellow cotton armor with red trim, and the banners of the hunting and flying were also red and yellow.

They wore black helmets and red tassels, and their bodies and horses were hung with horned bows and arrows, as well as all kinds of long and short weapons, and each knight's face was full of arrogance and arrogance. Among the knights, there are hundreds of people wearing silver iron armor, but they are very elite Baya soldiers in the Qing Dynasty.

These knights were the men and horses of the Qing State who were forced to Pinggu by the vanguard of the Yellow Banner Melle Zhangjing Aobai, and they spread out in a march route of ten people, almost each of whom had two horses, so although there were only 5,000 cavalry, they caused an extremely huge march.

As they approached the side of an abandoned village, a rough voice suddenly came from among the cavalry, and the rolling Qing cavalry immediately stopped. They even stopped, but also maintained a strict marching array, which was indeed an order and a strong military demeanor.

Several horses in front of them rolled and rushed, one of them counted horses, raised a large piece of smoke and dust, they ran to a big flag, one of them rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and reported to a burly Qing general: "Report to Mele Zhangjing, not far ahead is Daxingzhuang, less than ten miles away from Pinggu, in front of Daxingzhuang, the warriors encountered a large number of Ming army sentry horses intercepted, can no longer go forward to sentry detection. ”

The Qing general snorted, he was dressed in heavy armor, he was less than forty years old, and he had two thick beards on his lips. and scorned Dolgon and others for losing so many soldiers and horses at the hands of the Ming army. In the same way, they were also careless about the Ming army in Pinggu.

Zhun Ta said: "It's just that the Ming army in Pinggu is different, among them, there are Ming generals Wang Dou thousands of military horses." ”

Aobai's wild laughter stopped abruptly, and the temporary Emperor Taiji told the army facing Wang Dou to be cautious. Ao Bai is arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't dare not listen to Huang Taiji's words.

And after he came to the front, he also felt that the Ming army in Pinggu was indeed different, unprecedented, and all the sentinels he sent were intercepted by the Ming army. In the past, how could the Ming army dare to intercept their sentinels? The army is approaching the city, and the situation everywhere is clearly detected.

Ao Bailuo groaned for a while, and shouted: "Battle, you take a team of warriors to Pinggu to spy and see what those Nikans are doing!" ”

Nabatel is a member of the Bayala battalion of Manchuria with the yellow flag, and he is very outstanding in both battlefield fighting and enemy intelligence sentry, and after he received the order, he promised loudly that he would lead a team of Bayala soldiers to come out of the crowd.

At this moment, suddenly there were several cavalry horses on the right, they rushed to the front of Aobai, did not care about dismounting, and shouted on the horse for a strong man: "Report to Meler Zhangjing, a few miles away on the right, there is a Ming cavalry, they are coming to the side of the army, there are about 300 people and horses." ”

Following the left and front, there were also sentinels running back, reporting that the cavalry of the Ming army was in the hundreds.

The last sentry cavalry rushed back, saying that there was a large force of Ming cavalry in front of them, with about thousands of soldiers and horses.

Ao Bai sneered: "These Ming dogs are so bold that they dare to attack the soldiers and horses that harass Benbaturu. ”

He shouted: "Change horses and form a formation to meet the enemy." ”

After his military order was handed down, these thousands of cavalry with yellow flags immediately converged and formed a formation, and the collection of one Niu Lu and one Niu Lu formed a wedge-shaped battle formation suitable for cavalry combat. All the Qing soldiers also jumped on the war horses beside them and calmly put themselves in order.

The horses of the nomads and the fishermen and hunters were slightly inferior to the horses of the Central Plains, so they marched mostly with a number of horses. Although the number of people is small, the momentum is not small.

Seeing the Qing army rushing in front of him, the horse's head was moving, the hooves were like thunder, the Ming army beside him showed a frightened look, and Yang Shaofan's heart was also beating violently. Then I felt my blood boiling, and it seemed that the blood all over my body was hot.

He waved the three-eyed gun in his hand and shouted, "Brothers, kill slaves with me!" ”

Take the lead and rush straight away.

"Kill slaves!"

The Ming army beside him shouted in unison, urged the horses, kept the battle column, and rolled away behind Yang Shaofan.

Soon, the two sides rushed closer and closer, and those with yellow flags and clear cavalry looked more clearly, they were arranged in a wedge-shaped battle array, one by one in an arc-shaped array, and the recesses in the middle were heavily armored cavalry, they were holding spears, all of them were wearing iron cotton armor, and there should be chain mail in the middle, and even the war horses under them were covered with cotton armor to only show their mouths and noses. On either side of them, there were also lightly armored archers with bows and arrows, and the clear horsemen either screamed with joy or rode their horses without a sound, and their faces were full of cruelty.

The horse's hooves shook, and in the dust, two rushing streams of iron collided together.

"Kill!"

Yang Shaofan let out a loud shout, and lit the rope of the three-eyed gun in his hand with a fire fold, and the cavalry who rushed in the first row did the same action as him.

There was a boom, and the huge roar unique to the three-eyed gun sounded, and the three tubes of gunpowder in Yang Shaofan's gun were all in place. Yang Shaofan had 14 teams of soldiers at this time, slightly divided into seven columns of impact, and 100 people in front of him opened fire with three-eyed guns, forming a wave of dense bullet rain.

Although the three-eyed gun is not high on the horse, and the armor-piercing ability is not strong, the impact of the projectile at close range is not small, and this wave of fierce shooting still makes the opposite side turn over on their backs for a while. At the same time, a rain of arrows came from the opposite side, and people and horses on both sides fell to the ground.

Yang Shaofan's three-eyed bullet seemed to hit the body of a well-deserved Pashku, and whether or not he had broken the armor, he was shot and rolled off his horse.

Ao Bai saw it clearly, and he laughed: "These Ming dogs are vulnerable, pass my orders, all the light horses in the formation pursue, and the heavy armor follows me, and the formation is slow." ”

Seeing the Ming army fleeing in embarrassment, Zhun Ta's eyes showed a thoughtful look: "The Ming army in Pinggu should not be so easy to defeat and escape." The Ming general Wang Dou has not yet appeared, and Baturu, in the villain's opinion, is just a matter of defeating these Ming troops. ”

Ao Bai shouted: "The Ming Kingdom is as brave as Yang Guozhu, and the tiger is mighty, but it was also defeated with one blow, and I chased him for dozens of miles. Looking at the appearance of these Pinggu Ming Army, what is the difference between them and Yang Guozhu? What about Wang Dou, they have soldiers and horses in front of them, and I can also drive the rout to attack their formation, so that their whole army will be defeated. Maybe if I don't wait for the emperor's army to come, I can easily get Pinggu with my forward soldiers and horses. ”

Defeating these cavalry in Pinggu, Ao worshiped himself and did not take Wang Dou in his eyes, coupled with great merit in front of him, his eyes were red and his heart was hot, and he threw Huang Taiji's advice out of the clouds.

He shouted, "Chase! ”

……

"Worship has been tricked!"

Looking at the Wang Tingchen who rushed back from the field in front of them, Yang Shaofan and other cavalry, they ran wildly all the way, all of them out of breath. What reassured Wang Dou was that he didn't receive a return at night, and Ao Bai had been chased by the whole army, chasing such a long distance, and the men and horses were tired from the long march, would they still have the strength to fight?

"What the first warrior of Manchuria, a brave and resourceful horseman."

Hearing the news of Aobai's plan, Cao Bianjiao also put his mind at ease and laughed with Wang Dou.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao and Wang Dou had been in strict formation, the left flank was the 2,000 cavalry of Cao Bianjiao's headquarters, and the right flank was a guerrilla general in his town, leading more than 1,000 cavalry, as well as 400 cavalry of the Shunxiang Army. Cao Bianjiao personally led the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry and stood in the position of the Chinese army with Wang Dou.

In the position of the front army, it is Wang Dou Shunxiang Army more than 3,000 soldiers in a neat array, this battle Wang Dou dispatched the Shunxiang Army Han Dynasty A Division, Wen Fangliang C Division, Wen Daxing Division, Li Guangheng Geng Division, Zhao Xuanxin Division. The other party is waiting for work, the cavalry is even more quickly entangled, facing the enemy's bloody battle, defeating the other party still has a way to survive, if the order to retreat, the army's heart is lost, nearly 10,000 Ming cavalry is hard to chase, their thousands of soldiers and horses, the consequences are unpredictable.

The tidal wave of hooves became louder and louder, and the cavalry of the Ming army on both wings swept with an unstoppable momentum with a large puff of smoke and dust. The cavalry with yellow flags was even more panicked, they were chaotic and the whole formation, not caring about the formation was not strict, seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army was approaching, Ao Bai could only send more than 1,000 people on each wing, and there were hundreds of armored soldiers inside, and they met the battle separately.

The rest tried to rest and calm as much as possible, as long as they could delay for some time, and when their own soldiers recovered their horsepower and lined up again, it was still very promising to defeat the Ming army. Just in case, Ao Bai Gu must not lose face, and quickly send people to ask for help from the follow-up army.

Suddenly heard the roar of artillery, Ao Bai hurriedly looked, but saw a smoke rising from the side of the Ming army's infantry battle array, and a round iron ball rushed straight to him, viciously hitting his own formation, the iron ball jumped and jumped, hitting the hands and horses' hooves flying, and directly rolled out of a bloody road.

The Qing army's formation was chaotic, and it was crowded into a pile like headless flies, and it was best not to have a big target. As soon as the cannon bombarded, it immediately caused a commotion among the soldiers and horses with yellow flags, and the neighing and howling of those wounded soldiers or horses dealt a serious blow to the morale of these Qing cavalry.

Ao Bai desperately tried to stop the commotion of his subordinates, and he shouted violently: "Don't move, those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

"Fire!"

Zhao Xuan's unique hoarse voice sounded, and the Qing army's position was less than a mile away from the artillery, whether it was a Hongyi six-pounder cannon or a medium-sized artillery of the Buddha Wolf machine in the army, at this distance, the shells could be hit. Zhao Xuan was satisfied with the results of Fang Cai's test firing, and he immediately ordered the remaining artillery salvos.

The deafening sound of artillery rang out, and twenty-five medium guns of the Buddha Wolf machine and three Hongyi six-pounder guns opened fire at the same time, and in the roar of a large burst of shells, dozens of large and small iron balls smashed into the yellow flag array, smashing them even more crying father and mother, and were swept away by the dense rain of bullets. Especially the Hongyi six-pounder cannons, the dozen or so small bullets they fired with the cannon were even more lethal ().

"Fire!"

The gunner loaded the ammunition, and Zhao Xuan ordered a salvo again. After this wave of bullets rained down, the Yellow Flag Army formation was even more violently commotion, and it was all up to the officers to suppress this commotion with desperate bullets. Seeing that his own army formation seemed to be about to collapse, Ao Bai's eyes showed a look of despair, could it be that his yellow flag vanguard army and horse were going to be buried here today?

Looking at the situation ahead, Wang Dou also sneered, and he shouted: "Order, the whole army is pressing, pressing its formation!" ”

"Forward!"

The passionate drum beat sounded, and thousands of Shunxiang troops immediately straightened up, they held guns and guns, accompanied by the marching drums, like a wall.

All of them hold their chests high, they are the strongest army in the world, the strongest warriors, and no one can stop them from moving forward. Even Yang Guodong and other soldiers of the Supervisory Battalion were also full of pride, proud to join this invincible army.

"Forward!"

Following behind Wang Dou's army, Cao Bianjiao commanded the cavalry in his formation to follow, and the Wang Tingchen on the left flank laughed and led his thousands of cavalry forward. and Yang Shaofan on the right flank, who also commanded the cavalry to follow.

"Push, push, push."

Zhao Xuan commanded the gunners, pushing nearly thirty guns at the front of the army, he strode proudly, and he was proud.

……

The black pressure of the Ming army in front of them was coming, they were on foot and horse, and the Qing army's position was in a violent commotion.

Ao Bai stared at the front, unable to retreat, otherwise it would be a collapse. There is still something to be done in the battle of the cavalry on both wings, only the positive side has too much pressure on itself, and for today's plan, the only way to do this is to break through the Ming army infantry formation, so that there is still a chance to survive in death.
