The soldiers and horses left behind by Sonomu could not leave the city, and Wang Zezhi killed them with artillery.

The enemy, who had been shelled, suddenly burst into a chaotic scream.

The enemy defending the city was hit by a cannonball, sending out a mist of blood, and then they rolled to the ground screaming.

Fei Lang's cannon fire was incessant, and the shells were like hailstones, constantly falling from the sky and hitting the enemy defending the village.

The enemy guarding the fortified area bent their bows and arrows in panic, but the bows and arrows were shot far away from the artillery.

Naturally, the arrows they shot hit the ground before they could reach the gunners.

The desperate enemy found that they could not even touch the enemy's hair, and could only be beaten passively.

Their families were in the hands of Sonomu, and they did not dare to retreat.

The enemy, who could not be beaten and could not be withdrawn, and had no way out, opened the city gate and lowered the drawbridge and rushed out of the stockade.

"Report, the enemy is out of the village." The sentinel came to report to Wang Zezhi, Wang Zezhi raised the monoculars, and saw them rush out by opening the city gate by the light of the fire in front of the wall.

"The artillery stopped attacking, the cavalry came out, with the steel-armored heavy cavalry as the vanguard, to meet the enemy head-on, and give me a crush of them."

The enemy who rushed out charged with his bow and arrow, and did not even ride a war horse.

In fact, their horses were all taken from Sonomu, in order to cut off their back path so that they could fight for their lives.

These enemies were disproportionately bombarded by artillery, and abandoned by Sonomu, and their families became hostages.

Under such circumstances, these people have the will to fight to the death.

They rushed out indiscriminately, and there was no array at all.

One by one, they just rushed to kill with red eyes.

The clattering sounds converged, and the cavalry under Wang Zezhi lined up and were ready to charge at any time.

"Attack!" The king gave the order, the trumpets sounded, and the cavalry charged at the enemy.

After rushing into range of the arrows, the light horsemen began to bend their bows and arrows.

The bows and arrows in their hands shot into the enemy's body with the acceleration of their horses, and the enemies, whether they were wearing leather armor or iron plate armor, were all shot through each other.

In total, Sonomu left only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and hundreds of them died during the artillery bombardment, and more than half of them were killed and wounded under the blow of light cavalry and arrows.

The remaining more than 2,000 people watched their fellow clans fall one after another, not only did they not retreat, but rushed up without fear of death.

After the rain of arrows from the light cavalry, the steel armor heavy cavalry pressed up.

A massacre began without suspense.

The Steel Armor Heavy Rider itself is very heavy, and with the help of the acceleration of the war horse, the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, whether it is using a sword or a spear, it can generate a huge amount of energy.

Just one round of charge, and the battlefield was covered with severed limbs and stumps.

The steel-armored heavy cavalry rushed until it reached the pinzi pit under the enemy's wall, and then stopped the charge.

When they turned around, all they had left was black and red flesh on the ground behind them.

The entire battlefield suddenly fell silent.

There was no roar of artillery, no cavalry rushing, no enemy fighting to the death, only the sound of horses breathing after running.

Wang Zezhi rode to the battlefield, he looked at the enemy who had died in battle, raised his Lu Mi gun and shot at the sky.

"This is a group of admirable opponents, bury them thickly, rest the whole army, and continue to advance at dawn tomorrow."

The sergeants took the order to act, and the Mongolian soldiers among them looked at Wang Zezhi, who ordered the burial of the enemy, and a different emotion was born in their hearts.

Wang Zezhi captured the walled city of Hanha in Sonomu without waste, and he called Yang Guo and Xiao Liuzi to discuss the next move.

Originally, according to Wang Zezhi's plan, they were going to pass through Hanha to the northeast, arrive at Hao'erzhan, and rest at the supply point there.

After the rest, first to the east raid a fortress, the name of this fortress is not known for the time being, but it is known that this city was originally the territory of Genghis Khan's third brother Jin family and the jurisdiction of the Nuergandusi, to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens had used the remaining building materials of this city to build a fortress in the same place.

After laying down this fortress, Wang Zezhi can attack and retreat, and he can fight in Houjin without worry.

Now that their whereabouts have been exposed, Sonomu has discovered them, and Sonomu will certainly not flee to the far northeast.

Wang Zezhi was sure that Sonomu would flee to the Horqin pasture to the east.

Now the place of residence in Horqin is called Long'an Station, Ming Dynasty, Hongwu eight years, under the jurisdiction of Liaodong Dusi 30,000 Wei. In the first year of Yongle, it belonged to the Nuer Gandu Division Yidong Hewei, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, and was attacked and plundered by the Later Jin in the Chongzhen period and became the residence of the Horqin Department.

If the Horqin Department is attacked, Wang Zezhi will have to guard against this fortress in the north, as well as the Tamu Luwei and 30,000 guards in the south, and what is even more terrifying is that the east is full of the tribes of the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, and if they are dragged in Horqin, they are likely to be wiped out.

"I suspect that Sonomu and his people have defected to the Korqin people in the east, sandwiched between a fortress and two guards, and if we force our attack, we will probably be dragged here."

Wang Zezhi spread out the map and pointed to the Horqin grazing land and said.

"The last general thinks that it is not appropriate to rush into the army now, or..." Yang Guo did not finish his words, but Xiao Liuzi and Wang Zezhi both understood what he meant.

"I'm afraid, the spies under my command have been chased out, and any troubles along the way can't hide from them, so we don't have to be afraid of me."

Xiao Liuzi said angrily.

Under Wang Zezhi's command, the best sentinel is Xiao Liuzi, and he does have this confidence.

"If we retreat now, our army will inevitably lose morale, and this retreat will probably never have a chance to hit Houjin again.

I decided to fight hard, and tonight the whole army had a good rest, and at dawn tomorrow the whole army accelerated its march and rushed to the border of the Horqin garrison pasture as fast as possible.

At the same time, he ordered the supply points from Hanha to Hao'er to take advantage of the supply points in the vicinity to move closer to our army to ensure that our supplies were sufficient. ”

"Yes."

"Yes."

The two of them were ordered to go down to make arrangements.

Yang Guo thought that Wang Zezhi was gambling, and he was gambling with the lives of all the sergeants.

But he also knew that now he had reached the point where he had to send an arrow on the string, and he couldn't retreat at all.

If you retreat, not to mention the loss of morale, this battle will still leave a shadow in the hearts of the sergeants, and it will become difficult to go on another thousand-mile expedition.

Yang Guo sighed, he knew that Wang Zezhi's decision was right.

This battle may kill many people, and may wipe out the whole army, but even so, Yang Guo decided to follow Wang Zezhi.

In his lifetime, it was worth dying to be able to hit the land of the golden people.

As for Xiao Liuzi, he didn't worry about these at all, he just sent the sentry out to investigate the enemy's situation, and then waited for Wang Zezhi's next order, Wang Zezhi said that he would fight him.

Wang Zezhi wasn't gambling at all, the two of them didn't know the situation, but Wang Zezhi knew.

In the third year of Tiancong (1629), Huang Taiji raised an army to recruit Ming, and the twenty-three Baylors of the Horqin Department led all the elites of the clan to follow him, which means that the current Horqin Department has no strength to resist Wang Zezhi's 30,000 elites.
