Two thousand cavalry roared, one from the southeast and the other from the southwest, heading straight for the place where Zilharang was. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The horse stepped on the earth, kicking up the billowing dust and smoke.

Zilharan was a mile south of the city, an extremely flat open area with nothing in its way.

In such a terrain, not to mention two thousand well-trained cavalry, even two thousand wild horses rushed in, it was also devastating!

Knowing that his infantry was too small, only 1,002, and that 1,000 of them were still pawns, even the rejection of the horse formation would definitely not be able to stop the impact of the 2,000 cavalry, so he immediately ordered all the troops gathered around him to disperse to reduce the impact of the cavalry. At the same time, he immediately ordered someone to send a distress signal. After sending the signal, he was still not at ease, and sent two fast horses to the Huang Taiji camp located three miles east of Zunhua City, asking for support from Huang Taiji.

In addition, he himself ran to the northeast with three hundred cavalry to avoid the impact of the Ming cavalry, and at the same time to facilitate the detour at any time and wait for the opportunity to fight. As the main general, he must not run away at this time.

The remaining mixed army of 200 elites and 1,000 soldiers was suddenly in chaos. The order of Zilharangbel was to disperse on the spot, but where did it go?

Two hundred elites were better, after all, they had been in battle for a long time, and immediately divided into several groups and scattered on the spot in four directions. And those soldiers are a mess of porridge, and you have to go east and I will go west, scurrying like headless flies, and almost stamping on each other.

The cavalry soon roared and rushed towards the dense crowd of soldiers, like a herd of fanged beasts treading over a field of crops, and the soldiers fell like green seedlings, and the sabers and spears began to fly and reap further, and these soldiers fell with even greater speed.

Two thousand cavalry first in a V-shaped interspersed impact, after the first impact was completed, immediately turned the horse's head for the second wave of attack, this time in a "one" shape sweep, after the sweep the thousand soldiers have been killed and wounded nearly half, completely dispersed.

But the cavalry was clearly not aiming at these pawns. After defeating the soldiers, they immediately rushed under the walls. Under the city wall, more than 1,000 Houjin elites and more than 1,000 soldiers gathered under the city wall, and the two thousand cavalry were divided into two groups, rushing to the city at a gallop, and then along the city wall, one from west to east, and the other from east to west interspersed with hedges, just like two sharp plows suddenly ploughed on the soft ground, and the Houjin siege troops gathered under the city had just received the notice to change their formation to meet the enemy's horse team, and they had no time to adjust, and they fell down like leeks.

Among the cavalry, there were dozens of people with fire oil injectors, which were actually large simple water guns, filled with fire oil in a long bamboo tube, with a push rod at the rear end, and a hole in the front end, and the push rod would spray the fire oil forward as soon as it pushed forward. The oil was first sprayed on the high platform where the archers were, and the wooden high platform was quickly ignited, and the Houjin archers on top immediately wailed in despair, at this time they had only two choices, either jump from a height of nearly twenty meters or be burned to death!

After all, the elite of Houjin was well-trained, and they all reacted quickly, and the pikemen and spearmen immediately organized a formation and began to deal with the cavalry, and the cavalry of the Ming army constantly fell off their horses.

By this time, however, the two thousand horsemen had wreaked havoc on the ground, and the ground was a mess, littered with corpses and scattered weapons, armor, and burning siege equipment.

They began an orderly retreat.

After making a detour with three hundred cavalry, Zilharang saw that a group of seventy or eighty Ming cavalry not far away had fallen alone, so he immediately rushed forward. These cavalry are naturally not the opponents of the Dajin cavalry, but Zilharang was worried that the other cavalry of the Ming Kingdom would come back to save him, so he used shock tactics very conservatively, and did not entangle with these cavalry, thinking that he could rush away some of them, and if he couldn't rush them, he could at least ensure that he could evacuate at any time.

To his surprise, these Ming horse teams not only did not come to the rescue, but also directly turned their horses' heads and rushed to the west of the city.

Whatever?!

Zilharang didn't know that while the south of the city was violently attacked by the Ming Ma army, the north of the city also suffered the same fate. The same 2,000 cavalry, the same rampage without saying a word, also rushed the siege troops in the north of the city. However, the difference was that the 2,000 cavalry in the north of the city suffered heavy losses, losing at least three or four hundred cavalry.

Now, all the Ming cavalry in the north and south of the city are pouring to the west of the city.

Abatai, who was in charge of attacking the west of the city, saw the signal for help rising almost simultaneously in the south and north of the city, but he simply did not save because he did not know what was going on on either side or which side to save. However, in the spirit of prudence, he immediately ordered all the besieging troops to retreat immediately, and then organize a defensive formation.

As a result, the Houjin soldiers, who had already rushed to the head of the city, were quickly annihilated by the Ming army because they had no backup.

Abatai now has about 2,000 main elites and about 2,500 soldiers, but there are also not many cavalry.

Under the command of Abatai, these more than 4,700 troops immediately formed several solid horse rejection formations with him as the center.

The Ming cavalry in the north and south of the city ran to the west of the city, and when they found that they were already in battle, they ignored the infantry and instead interspersed the siege engines thrown under the city walls, sprayed fire oil and set them on fire.

The Houjin soldiers could only watch as those precious siege equipment were burned. It's not that they don't save, but more than 3,000 cavalry are interspersed with movements, and if the infantry dares to rush up, they will seek death. What's more, more than half of Abatai's men are just pawns, so they are even more powerless to attack these cavalry.

The cavalry quickly set fire to the siege equipment, bypassed Abatai's infantry phalanx, and marched westward.

The flag of the word "Yuan" fluttering high is particularly dazzling under the illumination of the morning light.

In the east of the city, Huang Taiji learned that the Ming cavalry was coming, and immediately sent Yangguli and Yue Tuo to the south and north of the city with two thousand fine cavalry to reinforce the city, but after the two arrived, they found that the Ming cavalry had already run away and only left small black spots.

The two knew that after the repeated attacks of the Ming cavalry, the physical strength of the war horse would inevitably decline greatly, and they would definitely not be able to run far, so they were angry and chose to lead the troops to chase after them.

After chasing out for three or four miles, he was finally only three or four hundred meters away from the Ming cavalry, but he found that the dust and smoke were billowing in the distance, and the loess covered the sky and the sun, like a sandstorm swept up.

Could it be that the other party still has a large cavalry coming?!

Both of them had their pupils constricted, and Yanguli said to Yue Tuo, "Yue Tuo Belle, there may be an ambush ahead. ”

Yue Tuo was furious, gritted his teeth and said, "So many cavalry, unless Yuan Chonghuan's army arrives." But Yuan's march has always been under the control of my horse post and Neiying, and there will definitely be no mistake, they are at least one day away from Zunhua. This must be a trick by the cunning Ming people. ”

Yanguli ignored Yue Tuo and shouted at his cavalry, "Withdraw!"

Yue Tuo glanced at Yanguli angrily, and scolded the coward in his heart. But as soon as Yanguli retreated, he himself only had 2,000 cavalry, and even if he caught up, he might not be able to please much, so he had to retreat.
