When Li Rusong broke Dong Fox, his father Li Chengliang was about to face a big battle.

However, compared with Li Rusong, who attacked the enemy camp, Li Chengliang's battle was a sniper battle.

Quickly took the main force of the Taining Department with more than 20,000 horsemen to the southwest to the south, originally planned to join forces with Dong Fox, Li Chengliang because of the previous "feints", and his marching route staggered the direction, and learned that the speed of Hai had gone south before temporarily adjusting the deployment, turning his head to intercept the speed of Hai.

This is also Li Chengliang's department, and it is impossible for any other part of the Ming army to make such a decision to pursue the Mongolian cavalry, what a self-confidence.

Of course, it is not that no one dares to block the Mongolian cavalry to fight this kind of thing, nor is it that if you change someone, you will definitely not be able to win, and the biggest problem is that you can't catch up.

can confidently catch up with the generals of the Mongolian cavalry, and now the Ming Dynasty may not have a second number except for Li Chengliang, after all, Ma Fang Ma Lanxi, who proposed "riding by horseman", has retired to Zhishi, and the cavalry can only watch Li Chengliang's one-man show now.

In fact, if the pragmatic rider can be gathered, he will also have such strength, after all, he has money.

The performance of the banknote ability is that the Gao family rider is not only a good horse, but also has high treatment and strict requirements, so if Gao Pragmatic wants to do this kind of thing, he can actually do it, but Gao Pragmatic can't gather his riders together, and he is not a border minister, and nearly 20,000 riders are together What do you want to do? Even if the emperor didn't suspect him, he couldn't die by himself.

Besides, these horsemen are also scattered, from Kaiping to Gansu, Jinghua, the thousands of miles of border trade routes are all relying on the Qiding Town, although the face of the previous I answered is effective, but it is for the tribes on the Mongolian official face, and it is useless for the horse bandits on the plug.

Carefully maintaining this "degree" is also something that Gao Pragmatic has always paid attention to, otherwise how could he only take 3,000 horsemen with him this time? With his financial resources, can't he afford to bring ten thousand horsemen?

Li Chengliang's family is different from Gao Shishi, the Liaodong Army has an army of more than 100,000 on its books, and he mainly uses the money to raise these hundreds of thousands of soldiers to support his nearly 40,000 thousand cavalry, and not all of these cavalry belong to him.

The reason why Li Chengliang's department dared to use a faster speed to chase the speed is actually because of the word "money". Because the Taining Department of Sujianghai has limited financial resources, he usually does not feed the horses with concentrate, so he must take into account the problem of the war horse losing fat.

However, Li Chengliang is relatively not as worried about this as Su Jianghai, because the so-called concentrate, which generally refers to feeding soybeans, is to supplement high-quality, high-dose protein to promote muscle growth in horses.

Of course, if you are more expensive, such as Gao Pragmatism, you can even add eggs directly to soybeans, so that the effect is more violent.

Except for some Mongolian aristocratic leaders who can give their war horses such extravagant meals, it is impossible for ordinary cavalry to play like this, otherwise as long as a month's war, they can quickly beat Hai into bankruptcy.

Li Chengliang circled a lot of land in Liaodong, and most of the "book soldiers" under his command who could not fight went to farm, and the supply of soybeans was obviously much more sufficient than that of Sujianghai, and this battle was regarded by him as an important battle to bring Gao Pragmatic, a close minister of the emperor and a foreign Japanese auxiliary minister, closer, and he naturally did not hesitate to temporarily lose horsepower.

Horses lose fat, as long as they don't run away, go back and raise them for a few months.

But it's faster, after all, there is a premise of "can't run away", so Li Chengliang's trip was near Xingzhong on the Daling River to catch up with the speedy general.

Xingzhong is the later Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. This place has another name, which is much more famous than "Xingzhong" and "Chaoyang".

Of course, where is the dragon city in Wang Changling's famous sentence "But make the dragon city fly", there is a lot of controversy on this issue, whether it is the "dragon city" in Xingzhong is not easy to say, it can only be said that it is possible.

Knowing that Li Chengliang's department was only about 15,000, but he actually pursued it violently, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile, and said to the left and right: "Li Chengliang's guy, in the past, relied on the strength of the armor and the soldiers, and often drove rampant in the pastures of my Mongols, I thought that this person could be regarded as a hero at least among the Han people, but I didn't want him to die today!" ”

He sneered: "Li Chengliang is the chief military officer of Liaodong, and he also exchanged the head of our Mongolian warriors for the title of Earl of Ning Yuan, and he is the enemy of my Mongolian warriors. ”

His subordinate general, Mandu Ratu, slapped his horse out and said loudly: "Great Khan, my subordinates are willing to go!" ”

Of course, Sujianghai is not a great khan, but at this time, there are a large number of various khans in Mongolia, and his descendants are called so, which can also be regarded as learning a new routine from the Han people.

Quickly put Hai Daxi and said: "Okay, Mandu Latu, you are really a rare warrior, but Li Chengliang is not an ordinary person after all, in addition to your own headquarters of three thousand iron horses, Ben Khan will give you another two thousand people, whether you are shooting around the camp, or Mangu, or charging into battle, Ben Khan only needs you to promise one thing, that is, mobilize Li Chengliang and let him attack in person!" ”

Mandu Ratu was full of confidence, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I will not only force him to attack in person, but also take off his head as a gift and give it to the Great Khan!" ”

Quickly laughed, hit the horse to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Fight this battle well, if you win, the materials seized to the east of Shanhaiguan this time will be divided into 30% for you!" ”

Mandu Latu was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked, and then took his headquarters and the two thousand cavalry that quickly transferred to him, a total of five thousand Mongolian cavalry, and went straight to Li Chengliang.

The current topography is like this, the south is the Daling River, the Sujianghai Department and Li Chengliang's Department are both north of the Daling River, the Sujianghai is in the west, and Li Chengliang is in the east.

This means that even if Mandu Latu attacks, he can't make a full circle, and if he can't go around the whole circle, it will be very troublesome if he has to turn around halfway, especially if the opponent is also a cavalry, it is easy to be truncated, just like Chataiji cut off Namur.

Chataiji can cut off Namur, and Li Chengliang's cavalry may not be able to do it, and Mandu Latu obviously has more experience in warfare than Namur, so he doesn't plan to fight like this.

He chose to close in first.

If Li Chengliang is unmoved, he will change to rush the formation, and if Li Chengliang moves, he will change to Mangu and shoot while retreating.

This idea looks good, Li Chengliang's actions in a broad sense, of course, there are only two choices: moving or not moving, and he has made a response plan for both choices.

But what Mandu Latu didn't expect was that Li Chengliang didn't intend to wait for Mandu Latu to show his resourcefulness, Li Chengliang's habit was: I don't care what you think, I can fight how I want, and I want to do it first.

Therefore, an unexpected scene happened, the 5,000 talents of Mandu Latu had just come out of the battle, and the army on Li Chengliang's side directly advanced without saying a word, and divided into two roads.

It seems that all the way should be Li Chengliang's main force, with the word "Ning Yuanbo Left Governor Liaodong Chief Military Officer Li" that is conspicuous enough, it should be the so-called regular soldiers, and about four or five thousand people are the right wing on the other road, coming in a circle to the north, this is a strange soldier.

It seems that Li Chengliang didn't plan to wait for Mandu Latu to do any bypass, because he sent someone to block the way to the bypass first.

Mandu Ratu was furious, he could see what Li Chengliang meant, that is, to force him to rush into battle, and the inner meaning of this move was that Li Chengliang was not afraid of him charging at all, and was even waiting for him to rush into battle.

Not far away, Su Linghai squinted his eyes and stared at Li Chengliang's arrangement in front of him, and suddenly sneered.

The people on the left and right hurriedly asked him why he laughed, and he sneered: "I laughed at Li Chengliang for only a few small victories, so I dared not to take my Mongolian warriors to heart, and I actually wanted to eat the five thousand elite horsemen of Mandu Latu in one fell swoop. ”

People on the left and right laughed, praising the Great Khan for his wisdom and martial arts, and Li Chengliang and the clown jumped off the beam.

Quickly put Hai Fu Xu and said: "Pass the order, and wait for Li Chengliang's two troops to encircle Mandu Latu to form, and Ben Khan's army will directly press it, and this time Li Chengliang will be wiped out here!" ”

Everyone agreed with a bang, as if they had seen the appearance of the "Liaodong scourge" Li Chengliang dying on the spot, and they couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

The cavalry was dispatched, the speed was extremely fast, and as he spoke, Li Chengliang's main force had already begun to increase the speed of his horse, and it seemed that he was going to charge into battle, and he would directly meet Mandu Latu.

Mandu Latu's side also began to speed up, but when they approached Li Chengliang's department about sixty paces, they could still shoot an arrow forward with their free hands, and then neatly hung their bows and changed their knives, ready to fight.

There are also some cavalry in Li Chengliang's department who shot an arrow first, but the number is only about 30%, and it seems that they should all be from Mongolians, or they are naturalized Mongols.

In this way, although the first round of arrows against Mandu Latu was not superior, the effect was slightly superior, Li Chengliang had more than 20 horses, and he only had more than 10 horses, earning nearly 10 people.

However, Li Chengliang, who was at the forefront by himself, didn't look at it at all, and still rushed forward in a daze, raising the horse speed to a level suitable for rushing into battle.

Mandu Ratu didn't regard this round of arrow rain as a big deal, but he was a little smug in his heart and said that he would shoot arrows immediately, or my Mongolian warriors were invincible in the world.

He didn't find out, because Li Chengliang's cavalry wore armor, and most of the horses fell because the horses were shot.

Cavalry against cavalry, the Mongols actually did not like to do much to charge, and they charged each other, and so it happened.
