Suddenly attacked, the Karaqin Tartars fought separately, and most of them were awakened in their sleep by the sound of hurried horses' hooves.

The Tartars hurriedly got out of the yurts, and before they could even put on their armor, they were shot through the bodies by the roaring knights of the "Red Banner Army", so that the small tribal settlements were destroyed.

The absence of a total annihilation of the encirclement made the attack of the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" faster and more efficient, and it was easy to kill a hundred or dozens of Tartars.

Knowing that they had escaped dozens of Tartars, the "Red Banner Army" did not chase them, and they once again saved as many as five or six hundred Han people, and now these Han people and the people they saved yesterday have taken up arms and are camping in a winter camp of a small tribe with more than 40 yurts that they have captured.

The temporary person in charge was Xiang Chengliang, who had killed a Tartar centurion, and he had already cleaned himself up and was in good spirits.

At this time, he had thrown away the firewood knife and practiced assassination with an ash pole spear, and he had a Mongolian scimitar pinned to his waist, and he was wearing captured cotton armor and leather armor.

Not only was Xiang Chengliang armed, but nearly 300 Han men who were relatively physically fit also wore captured leather armor or cotton armor and took up arms.

More than a dozen of them knew how to shoot arrows, and of course they knew how to use captured Mongolian ox horn bows to improve their combat effectiveness.

These Han people now know that they were rescued by a Ming army called the "Red Banner Army", and this Ming army will attack Qingcheng next in order to save more Han people.

The Han people who did not want to be slaves again had no choice but to take up arms and fight with the "Red Banner Army", striving to achieve the final victory and return to Daming Pass with a beautiful scenery.

Several Han Chinese were praying for the "Red Banner Army" to defeat the Karaqin Tatars, and they were too eager to go home.

The Han people encouraged each other to work together to fight the Tartars if they were found to be attacking their temporary settlements.

Xiang Chengliang had already killed people, and his psychological quality suddenly improved a lot, and he was received by Huang Han that night, and not only was he praised, but also appointed as the leader of the Han self-defense forces.

Now he has nearly 1,000 Han men and women guarding more than 20 Tartar captives and more than 400 Tartar women, and his camp will be operated as a material transit point and a contact point for the retreat of the army.

Xiang Chengliang was in charge of too many cattle and sheep in the camp, and he knew that it would be impossible to drive the sheep when the army retreated, so he ordered the Han Chinese and Mongolian women to kill the sheep and divide the mutton.

All Han Chinese consciously volunteered to work, and they knew that they had to have food to satisfy their hunger on the way home, and now there were ready-made fat sheep to slaughter, and everyone spared no effort. Mongolian women do not resist, and silently obey the instructions to do things carefully.

To the southwest of Qingcheng, the infantry array of the "Red Banner Army" is gradually advancing.

The soldiers and the servants were very calm, because the head of the family was close to them, and the young cadets of the four banners were excited, and they longed for the Tartars to kill, so that the teacher could see with his own eyes how bravely they fought the enemy.

Huang Han, who commanded the Chinese army, was accompanied by Yan Congyou, He Yongqing and other four people, as well as an infantry sword and shield hand holding a light steel round shield produced by the Huang family in his right hand.

As the name suggests, the sword and shield hand should be the left hand shield and the right hand knife, but the sword and shield hand of the "Red Banner Army" is not so absolute.

The light steel round shield is the standard equipment of the sword and shield hand, and the upper part of the steel shield is also deliberately made of steel to make an angular knife edge, and the sword and shield hand can also cut off the enemy's head with the steel shield when wielded.

Most of the sword and shield men hold the Devil's Head Knife in their right hand, and some Hercules dislike the Devil's Head Knife and choose a one-handed battle axe.

There are also people who think that the ghost head knife needs to be slashed and chopped is not conducive to the use of skillful strength, and they choose short spears to use steel shield cover for stabs, which is more insidious and cunning, and often the enemy will be fatal with a single blow, and the wound is not so terrifying.

Fang Liandong was instructed by the seven-member group to be responsible for the safety of the head of the family wholeheartedly, if the head of the family made a mistake, even if his sword and shield hand Zongqi killed Karaqin Taiji, it would be useless.

The infantry advanced twenty or thirty miles to the north, and the vast steppe had a great advantage, and the infantry formation could easily be deployed, but it also had to be able to withstand the attack of the Tartar cavalry.

The wheelbarrow that can quickly form an obstacle to block the cavalry impact has played a huge role, which is actually not the original of Huang Han, thinking that the 5,000 infantry led by the Han general Li Ling went deep into the prairie and brought many carts, and the carts were full of military supplies.

According to historical records, the Han army used baggage carts as a battalion and deployed outside the camp, with the soldiers in the front holding halberds and shields, and the soldiers in the back holding bows and arrows. Thousands of Hun cavalry saw that the Han army was small, so they attacked the Han army, but were killed and wounded by the Han army's thousands of crossbows.

In the end, Li Ling, who was defeated, regretfully sighed to the generals under his command, "Dozens of arrows have been recovered, which is enough to get rid of it." ”

Li Ling meant that if each infantry had dozens of arrows and crossbows, they would be able to fight and retreat into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

It can be seen that the infantry is not afraid of cavalry attacks at all when there are long-range weapons and crossbows to attack, and when there are large carts as cover.

The "Red Banner Army" has more wheelbarrows, although there are no strong crossbows, there are infantry bows, there are car-carrying guns with a longer range and terrifying lethality, and bird guns that are far more powerful than strong crossbows, as long as the Tatar cavalry dares to attack such an infantry formation, Huang Han guarantees that they will be covered with corpses.

Huang Han's men and horses had an advantage over Li Ling's Han army, because the "Red Banner Army" was not completely passively beaten, and it could not only choose to wait for the enemy's attack.

There were also more than 1,300 knights of the "Red Banner Army", and as long as they found that there were no more than 2,000 enemy light cavalry not far from the infantry formation, the knights could launch a group charge to chop and chop up and make calculations.

If the enemy is defeated, he will naturally choose to expand the results, and if the enemy cavalry is encircled, the knights of the "Red Banner Army" can completely retreat into the infantry position in an arc.

This new tactic of combining infantry and cavalry and mixing hot and cold weapons has given the field troops roots, and the treatment of the wounded and the replenishment of supplies are always in progress.

After a vicious battle, they can rest, they can treat their wounds in time, they can drink a few sips of spirits, eat two pieces of roast mutton and have a bowl of hot gruel, and the soldiers' mental endurance will be completely different, and their morale will be high.

Seeing that he was getting closer to Qingcheng, the frequency of the Tartar probe horse was obviously getting higher and higher.

Huang Han has not had the opportunity to kill in person since he left the customs, and at this time, he couldn't help but feel itchy when he saw the Tartars in twos and threes.

He whistled and rushed forward with four personal entourage, this is an infantry formation, and only officers above the rank of small flag officer have war horses.
