Seeing Hu Dawei who was returning to the city, Wang Zhaokun, who had just looked at the patrol royal history who had stretched his neck in the city gate building, hurriedly asked:

"General Meng, how many people are coming to the 'Red Banner Army'? Who will the Lord be? Why did they leave immediately? ”

This is not just Wang Zhaokun's question, the civilian and military generals in Ningwuguan all want to know the answer, and they are unwilling to hear the news that the "Red Flag Army" is gone and will not look back.

Because the reality is very cruel, the cavalry of the Qing army is constantly whistling by, and the Ming army does not dare to go out of the city at all, and the trapped city will not only face the problem of plummeting morale, but also face the dilemma of starvation.

Hu Dawei replied truthfully: "The 'Red Banner Army' dispatched four battalions of men and horses, plus the guard army as an auxiliary, a total of 25,000 men and horses, and this officer has just met with Yang Dalang, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, the chief general of this elite army.

They were worried that Jiannu, who was stationed at Yangfang Fort, had secretly run away, and prepared to lead more than 5,000 cavalry to block the retreat of the Qing army, so that the Qing army could be annihilated when 20,000 infantry and artillery arrived tomorrow. ”

"Shhh ......" The civil and military generals of Ning Wuguan, including the eunuchs of the prison army, were all inhaling cold air, "Damn! "That's too awesome! In the eyes of the "Red Banner Army", a city garrisoned by three or four thousand Qing soldiers is like nothing!

They were not thinking about how to attack the city, but thinking about what to do so that they could not let go of an enemy army.

Admiral Eunuch Wang Xizhong stroked his palms and laughed: "Haha, our family has been walking on thin ice these days, and from today onwards, we are finally free, and the 'Red Flag Army' is mighty!" Conquer the great general, Wan Sheng! ”

Wang Zhaokun was in a good mood, and deliberately asked Meng Ruhu with a smile: "General Meng, the 'Red Flag Army' is going to encircle the Qing army, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit still at this time, right?" Is there a plan to run in such a hurry? ”

Fierce as a tiger said: "When this official returned to Guancheng, he was ready to gather half of his men and horses to cooperate with the 'Red Flag Army' to seize Yangfang Fort 20 miles away, and strive to complete the expectation of Yang Dalang, the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, to encircle and annihilate more than 3,000 Qing troops. ”

Too confident! The "Red Banner Army" only came with 5,000 cavalry, not only to attack Yangfang Fort, but also to refuse to let go of the Qing army, preparing for a siege and annihilation.

Wang Zhaokun, Wang Xizhong, Xian Zhenji, and others were extremely shocked, but they believed that the combat effectiveness of the "Red Banner Army" had not been stopped, and agreed to Hu Dawei's request to divide half of his troops out of the customs.

In fact, it is not too much to describe Ningwuguan as a little bit of danger, not that it is precarious when it is attacked by the Qing army, but that 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and civilians have been guarding the city for several months, and the food is running out, and it will fall into chaos.

Fierce as a tiger to bring out 3,000 soldiers and horses, 3,000 strong people, will more or less alleviate the food crisis we are facing.

Wang Yushi, who understands the wealth and danger, also took a few family members to set off with the army, twenty miles away in an hour, seeing the sunset in the west, when the tiger is as powerful as a tiger and Wang Zhaokun came to the east of Yangfang Fort, a medium-sized cavalry battle here has just come to an end.

The Qing army guards were not good at holding on, and found that the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" came by a few thousand, and chose to take advantage of the enemy's foothold to play cavalry raids.

This is the usual trick of Jiannu, it is very effective, often a cavalry raid can be fought in a fierce Ming army ready to seize the city, and then it will choose to wait and see.

This time was an exception, the Jiannu cavalry had just left the city and was discovered by the "Red Banner Army" sentry horse, and Hanzi and Sang Yu, who were originally going to divide their troops to block the Qing army, immediately led their men and horses to meet the battle.

The encounter was about to break out, and the two armies were nearly 8,000 cavalry in an open field to hedge, and more than half of the Qing army was Tartar, and in the case of equal numbers, it was no longer the opponent of the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army".

Moreover, Hanzi's cavalry corps is still the strongest in the "Red Banner Army", with a total strength of nearly double that of the enemy cavalry.

Under the guidance of the cautious and cautious head of the family, Huang Han, the lion fighting the rabbit with all his strength is the consistent style of the generals of the "Red Banner Army".

Because after each battle, all the generals and participants will sum up the lessons learned, and if it is found that more casualties can be avoided after the battle has ended, the main general who won the battle will not only not receive the credit, but may also face demotion.

Huang Han managed the army like this, every life of the robe will be respected, and he does not support the success of one general, but advocates collective wisdom and efforts, so as to maximize the results of the battle and minimize the casualties.

Hanzi and Sang Yu are not heroes, and they accept the enemy in accordance with the regulations.

In order to minimize their own casualties and give full play to their firepower advantage, Hanzi and Sang Yu ordered more than a thousand knights with Mini spears to start one after another at a distance of 400 paces.

At this time, as long as the shooting is leveled, the Qing cavalry group is in a galloping state, the target is too large, and it is impossible to dodge, whether it is killing people or wounding war horses, it will make the enemy chaotic.

Sure enough, I didn't expect the Qing army to lose a lot of money from afar.

But they did not retreat, and all the generals shouted: "Warriors rush! Hurry up and get close to the Ming army to fight, at this time the Ming army has emptied the fire gun, and then there is only a burning stick left in his hand, and the victory of our army is in sight! ”

Many Jiannu veterans knew this principle, and their previous experience told them that the Ming army released its guns prematurely, and as long as the children of the Eight Banners were not frightened and approached to fifty steps, the Ming army would often disperse in a hurry.

They shouted and encouraged each other: "Rush quickly, accelerate quickly, as long as we crash into the Ming cavalry array, we will win!" ”

However, Lao Jiannu's experience did not play a role this time, and the Ming army's array was still flashing with fire, that is, seeing that the Qing army had entered the effective firing range, more than 2,000 self-generated guns poured bullets and rained bullets.

There were more and more cavalry fallen off their horses, many of the cavalry were killed by their horses, and many of them tripped and died of trampling after being tripped by the horses that fell in front of them.

Jiannu longed to get close to fifty paces, and they did it, and at this time they were faced with the cold-weapon cavalry of the "Red Banner Army".

In fact, it was a bit out of place to call it a cold weapon cavalry at this time, because half of them were non-commissioned officers, and they all had two self-generated short guns that were loaded and ready to be placed.

Hanzi still does not change his temperament to charge personally, his personal guards are still the most existent, everyone is a non-commissioned officer, and at this time, they all fight like flying to outperform the main general.

Hundreds of self-generated guns were fired at close range, and Jiannu also had hundreds of feathered arrows shot into the ironclad cavalry array of the "Red Banner Army", making a "clanging" sound.

Both sides struck, but Jiannu's bow and arrow were fired at the "Red Banner Army" cold weapon cavalry who had an all-steel helmet and cuirass, and were wearing cotton armor and sweaters or leather jackets to keep warm.

And after the non-commissioned officer of the Ming army shot his own short gun, hundreds of lead bullets poured over, and no one in Jiannu and Tartar could bear it, and it was useless to have iron armor, as long as it hit the vital point, it was the fate of the shaman god.
