"What? Say what you just said again. Ma Yinglong felt that he must have heard it wrong, how could this kind of thing happen to him? He asked in a tone that was not questionable.

The messenger did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly repeated what he had just said word by word.

After listening to the messenger's retelling, Ma Yinglong's body involuntarily took two steps back.

"How many Qing troops are there in ambush for the troops ahead?" Ma Yinglong asked anxiously.

"It is not clear how many Qing troops there were. But Master Mu, they roughly estimated that there should be more than 3,000 to 4,000 people and horses. The messenger replied truthfully after a moment's recollection.

"That's fine." Hearing that the number of Qing troops in ambush was small, Ma Yinglong seemed to be relieved.

Although Ma Yinglong mobilized more than 80,000 men and horses to deal with the Qing army this time, the only one who could really fight was the 30,000 men in the forward. Among the 30,000 horses, less than 20,000 people followed Ma Yinglong here.

If the large army of the Qing army is here, then Ma Yinglong has to worry about whether he can cope with these Qing troops.

After all, the Qing army can lure them into an ambush in the way of "rout", which means that in the battle with the Qing army just now, they did not defeat others at all, and the Qing army did not contribute to the end, but was just acting for them.

"General Yu..."

"Back to Hailifan, the end will be." It didn't seem that things would develop like this, and Yu Yan leaned on his chest and bowed down.

"You immediately mobilize 5,000 men to support the team in front, and I will go over to support you after I have put the army in order. Even if you can't defeat the Qing army in the past, you must drag them down, and we will strive to wipe out the thousands of Qing troops in one battle. Ma Yinglong ordered.

"Yes, Hai Lifan, the last general will go and mobilize people." Yu Yan didn't say much, and after saluting Ma Yinglong again, he turned around and left.

Looking at Yu Yan's rapidly departing figure, Ma Yinglong felt a little relieved. The people and horses in front, plus the more than 5,000 teams that Yu Yan has brought over now, add up to more than 8,000 and nearly 9,000.

Even if the Qing army had 4,000 people in ambush and had very strong combat effectiveness, even if its nearly 9,000 men and horses could not be defeated, it would not be a crushing defeat.

……

"Lord Gui, reinforcements from the thief army are here." Looking at the 5,000 Hui troops who were rushing to the rescue, the Manchu cavalry leader An Jia who was encircling and reinforcing on the road. Daji quickly ran to Zhang Jia. Gui said in front of him.

"Okay, great, I'm afraid they won't come." ZHANG Jia. Gui looked excited.

"Order, as soon as they enter our point of attack, immediately rush out and kill them without a single piece of armor."

"The subordinates understand, so let's do it." AN Jia. After Daji finished speaking, he hurriedly retired.

……

At this time, Yu Yan, who didn't know it, rushed to rescue the besieged team with more than 5,000 soldiers and horses.

In the hurry along the way, Yu Yan didn't think about whether the Qing army had encircled the point to send reinforcements, and he didn't even send a few more scouts to explore the way ahead, so he rushed over in such a hurry.

If it is a mature general, he naturally understands that it is taboo to march in a hurry without scouts, but Yu Yan does not have such awareness.

He thought that his more than 5,000 soldiers and horses were enough, and that the Manchus could not have more people than them would ambush here. And if there are not as many people and horses ambushed here as they are, then they have no reason to be afraid of the Qing army. Isn't that a loss of face for the warriors of Allah?

And since their uprising, it has always been them who have pressed the Manchu army to fight. It's not that they don't need scouts, but it's really a long-term victory, which makes Yu Yan feel that the strength of the Hui army is too strong and unnecessary.

Soon, the 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Yu Yan entered the Qing army's attack point.

……

"Boom... Boom..."

Suddenly, the sound of a group of horses came from the quiet ground. The huge cavalry ran so loudly that the earth seemed to tremble.

"What is this?" An instant later, Yu Yan, who had commanded the cavalry, immediately understood what had happened.

"Everyone immediately stopped and defended..."

Although Yu Yan gave orders very quickly, the 5,000 soldiers and horses he led were also quite elite. But when the army is in a state of rapid march, how can it be stopped with a single order?

There is too little time to return to the army to adjust. After all, hearing the roar of horses stepping on the ground means that the opposing cavalry is already very close.

Soon, the Hui army, which was still in a state of adjustment, saw the appearance of the Qing cavalry.

In order to give the army time to adjust, the 500 Hui cavalry who came with Yu Yan could only meet it head-on, in order to stop the galloping Qing cavalry.

However, these five hundred times rode in the face of Zhang Jia. When the 3,000 elite cavalry led by Ah Gui could be said to be crushed with one blow, and there was no wind and waves at all.

After a head-to-head confrontation with the Qing cavalry, there were less than 100 horsemen left of the 500 cavalry. And the rest of the cavalry was quickly wiped out under the pursuit of the Qing cavalry.

"Kill..."

After fighting against the Hui cavalry, the Qing cavalry adjusted their formation again and charged the Hui infantry instead.

"Woooo

After a round of bows and arrows between the two sides, the Qing cavalry quickly attacked the Hui infantry at the speed of their horses.

Under the energy brought by the horses, the Qing cavalry who entered the Hui army were like fish in water, and the sabers in their hands were full of fallen corpses of the Hui army.

After a while, the relatively tight formation of the Hui army was cut into pieces of disorderly squads by the attacking Qing cavalry.

Infantry and cavalry are different from each other. The cavalry is scattered, and you can also travel to the edge of the battlefield as a ranger and fight with infantry. But if the infantry and cavalry were scattered in battle, they could only be slaughtered.

"Kill, O warriors of Allah have no fear..."

Looking at the formation that was about to be untenable, Yu Yan was cheering loudly.

"The army of Khairefan is behind, they will be here soon, everyone support it..."

"Poof... Phew..."

Only after a few dozen breaths of time, Zhang Jia. The 3,000 cavalry led by Ah Gui all rushed into the formation of the Hui army.

The battle lasted not long, but the arrows on the quivers hanging from the Qing army's horses had already been shot, and even the sabers in their hands were covered with blood. The intensity of the battle speaks for itself.

Yu Yan, who has always been proud and complacent, soon understood what it meant to meet a group of wolves. I thought they were wolves, but they turned out to be sheep.

"No way, this must be fake. How could these be the Qing troops that kept the Han people dodging in all directions? Something must be wrong. Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Yu Yan couldn't help but question.
