Hong Chengchou smiled and nodded: "Although the other party's coalition army is outnumbered, many of them are enemies in the past, and in the event of a vicious battle, they will definitely not support each other, even if they come to support, they will not fight to the death, how can they defeat the concerted efforts of my Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Manchurian Eight Banners?" ”

Dolgon slapped the table: "Very good, just do what the gentleman said, and immediately arrange the people." 【Fengyun Reading Network. Send out scouts to see when they will advance again, and then attack in one fell swoop. ”

Wu Sangui got up and said: "Lord Wang, I personally led my subordinates to ride the iron cavalry to contain the thieves behind, and the prince can lead the Qing Iron Cavalry to quickly annihilate the enemy army in the front camp." ”

Dolgon also understood that Wu Sangui only had 40,000 horses, and he couldn't eat the coalition army in the front battalion, and his more than 80,000 cavalry, except for Li Zicheng's 200,000 horses, could eat any coalition army. So he nodded in agreement.

The Qing army sent scouts to carefully inquire about the progress of the coalition forces.

At this time, the two sides are still dozens of miles apart, and in this way, if the battalion is pulled out twice, the coalition army will be able to see the Qing army's camp.

On this day, according to the arranged order, it was Ma Jinzhong's turn to pull out the camp, in the morning, Ma Jinzhong greeted the fifth battalion of Gezuo, bid farewell to the old Huihui and Ge Liyan, and marched forward with the men and horses, he traveled more than ten miles, and then ordered to go down to the village, and when the camp was erected, he ordered people to report to the people and horses behind, so that they could follow.

Bai Qi received the news and immediately prepared to set up camp.

When the whole army was ready, Bai Qi immediately stood in front of the army, looking at the surrounding fields, his brows furrowed.

Li Yan and the red lady were on the side, and they were also about to get up, seeing Bai Qi's face, Li Yan smiled and said, "General, do you have anything on your mind?" ”

Bai Qi shook his head lightly: "Something is wrong." ”

Li Yan was stunned: "What's wrong?" Bai Qi said: "It's too quiet, it's too quiet around." ”

Yizhimei listened to Bai Qi's words, and nodded again and again: "Yes, it's a little too quiet, when the army pulled out of camp twice, the birds in the forest were startled and couldn't fly, why did I only hear the people in the team shouting and neighing today, but none of the birds flew up?" ”

Bai Qi had been looking sideways at the large dense forest not far away, and suddenly he saw that there seemed to be smoke and dust rising from the back of the forest.

"It's coming!" Bai Qi blurted out, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army is on alert, if the enemy is coming, blow the trumpet and light the wolf smoke." Inform the people behind. ”

As soon as his words fell, the horn sounded in the army, and with the sound of the horn, all the Qin troops quickly gathered together one by one, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, and the shield bearers protected the two wings, concentrating on vigilance.

The Qin army was well-trained, busy but not chaotic, but the men and horses of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, Dashun Army and Zhang Huangyan in the back did not have such qualities, and when they heard the sound of drums and horns and saw the wolf smoke rising, they were a little overwhelmed.

Just when the Qin army had just blown the trumpet and lit the cigarette, countless cavalry rushed out of the dense forest and on both sides, shouting and rushing up.

In the army, a big banner was held high, and the word "Wu" was written on it, which was Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry. This was an ambush by Wu Sangui at night, he didn't take advantage of the night to steal the camp, but waited for the time when the coalition army pulled out the camp, and it was difficult to take care of each other, and then he killed it. At this time, Wu Sangui saw that the coalition forces had begun to pack up, so he ordered an attack.

Since the cavalry was stationed inside and outside the dense forest, those birds naturally did not dare to fly down, so they flew away early, so Bai Qi realized it.

The Qin army reacted the fastest, but Wu Sangui fought very delicately, he commanded the men and horses to protrude from the flanks, and did not attack the Qin army's camp, but rushed towards the most chaotic place in the formation, where it was the men and horses of the fifth battalion of the Gezuo.

In the final analysis, although there are 50,000 people in the 5th Battalion of Gezuo, it has always been composed of displaced people and hungry people, and its combat effectiveness is weaker than that of the Dashun Army, and it is even inferior to the officers and troops of the Qin Army and Sun Chuanting, so Wu Sangui saw this at a glance and ordered to rush with all his strength to defeat the 5th Battalion of Gezuo.

Under the command of Wu Sangui, Guan Ning's iron cavalry was like a flood peak pouring down, surging forward.

Lao Huihui and Ge Li saw that the direction in which the enemy army was killing was on their own side, and the men and horses of their subordinates had not yet assembled into a formation, once they were rushed in by the cavalry, they would immediately be divided into countless pieces and slaughtered by others.

The two hurriedly ordered, and ordered their subordinate Qian Zong to bring a cavalry to meet them, and they also knew that this cavalry could not stop Guan Ning's iron cavalry, so they just wanted to slow down the opponent's momentum a little and leave some time for their people to gather together.

The thousand general manager had an order, and with the two thousand people who had just been organized, he rode up and shouted to meet him.

However, this cavalry has not yet approached the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and was knocked down by an oncoming rain of arrows, and when the thousand general orders to return fire, the two sides are already very close, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry is a burst of fire S strikes, and the peasant army is beaten to the point that people turn over on their backs, and they scream all over the field.

With only one face, half of the 2,000 cavalry of the peasant army were lost, and since the Guanning Iron Cavalry followed Wu Sangui to surrender the Qing army, the Qing court treated them very well, all the horses were replaced with good horses, and all the officers and soldiers were rewarded. Most of these people's ancestral hometowns are outside the Guan, after the Ming army lost Jinzhou and Ningyuan, these Guanning iron cavalry were driven into Shanhaiguan, and it was difficult to return to their hometown, and after the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji ordered that all the officers and soldiers of the Guanning iron cavalry were given land and fields in their hometowns, and their families were also given preferential treatment, so these people's hatred of the Qing court had disappeared, and they began to hate the peasant army.

After a stone battle, the Guanning Iron Cavalry regarded Li Zicheng and others as the biggest enemy, and they were determined to destroy them. Therefore, after seeing the peasant army here, they all rushed upwards with red eyes, using firearms when they were close, and bows and arrows when they were far away.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry is very well equipped, the horses are covered with armor, and the people are covered in iron armor, as long as they don't hurt their faces, even if they are hit by more than a dozen arrows in their bodies, they are only slightly injured, and they continue to scream and rush.

The 50,000 battalions under the command of Wu Sangui attacked separately, 10,000 people attacked the 5th battalion of the left of the Ge, 10,000 people attacked Zhang Huangyan's men and horses, and the other 10,000 people outflanked the two wings of the Qin army, and the remaining 10,000 people protected Wu Sangui.

40,000 horses, did not impact Li Zicheng's Dashun army, because the Dashun army has 200,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is not weak, in a stone battle, if there is no Qing army to help, Guanning Iron Cavalry is almost lost, so Guanning Iron Cavalry for Li Zicheng's men and horses, heart palpitations, so do not attack for a while, afraid of rushing in and being surrounded, can not burst out, that is to steal J rice, not cost-effective.

Bai Qi stared at the battle on the battlefield, immediately saw the doorway, and said to Li Yan: "The enemy army did not dare to attack the Dashun army, because they were afraid of their large number, it seems that the enemy only came from Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the Qing army did not follow." ”

Li Yan said: "Exactly, looking at their armor, there are no full tartars." It's all Guan Ningjun. ”

At this time, a force of more than 10,000 Guanning iron cavalry was outflanking the Qin army, and there were still a hundred steps away, and the feather arrows flew overhead with a whistling eye. The Qin army had already set up a defensive formation, so there were not many wounded. The cavalry in front of the formation used shields to protect their bodies, and from time to time their horses were hit by arrows and fell down with a few neighing sounds.

Bai Qi did not give the order to attack, but watched coldly, wanting to see Wu Sangui's intentions.

Li Yan saw Guan Ning's iron cavalry galloping back and forth unscrupulously, firing arrows, and the Qin army did not attack, and then looked at Bai Qi, frowned, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he shouted: "General, we can't always be beaten like this, we have to attack." ”

Bai Qi nodded slightly: "You command a cavalry to block the enemy army." ”

Only then did Li Yan raise his voice to give an order, ordering an adjutant general to bring 5,000 cavalry and rush out to fight with the Guanning army, and sent two adjutant generals, each with 5,000 cavalry, to break up on both sides and outflank the enemy's two wings.

At this time, the whole battlefield has been opened, the Dashun army has not been affected by the Guanning army, but naturally can not stand idly by, Liu Zongmin saw the banner clearly, he was angry, and immediately ordered Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi two tiger generals, each with 10,000 cavalry, to reinforce the fifth battalion of Gezuo and the Qin army.

Because Zhang Huangyan brought people and horses to Sun Chuanting, these two aspects are mortal enemies, so Liu Zongmin did not send troops to help, he thought to himself, Sun Chuanting can send people and horses to come, it must be forced by the Qin army, such a favor, I Dashun army ignores it. I didn't want to call you in the first place.

On the vast battlefield, the shouts, the neighing of war horses, the collision of swords and guns, the roar of muskets, the screams of soldiers, earth-shattering, deafening, everywhere are soldiers on both sides in the fight of forgetting life and death, everywhere is a piece of blood, more and more people have fallen, because they are all cavalry battles, so many people who have fallen off the horse have been trampled into a pool of blood and mud.

Wu Sangui watched quietly from a distance, and the 10,000 iron cavalry around him were waiting to protect his safety. He could see clearly that his tens of thousands of horses had indeed caught the other party by surprise, and at this time, the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left had already collapsed, and the soldiers fled in all directions, forming a formation. The officers and troops led by Zhang Huangyan are also struggling to support and try to keep the camp in chaos, while the Qin army and the Dashun army are still in strict formation.

After killing for a while, the Dashun army became more and more men and horses, and the casualties of the Guanning Iron Cavalry began to increase.

Wu Sangui looked at the situation in the formation, and ordered his subordinates to blow the horn and light three puffs of wolf smoke.

Wu Sangui knew that his tens of thousands of horses would never be able to fight two or three hundred thousand coalition troops if they fought to the death, but fortunately, his task was not to annihilate how many coalition forces, but to contain them, so Wu Sangui ordered to change the way of fighting.

Guan Ningjun, who was fighting, heard the trumpet, saw the wolf smoke, and immediately stopped fighting, turned around and left, 30,000 iron cavalry had lost 2,000 cavalry at this time, and the rest of the cavalry would be combined together, and then separated, divided into four teams, and galloped away in four directions. Wu Sangui also withdrew with 10,000 cavalry.
