Encouraged by the personal battle of Prince Rui Dolgon, the rear infantry of the Qing army was stunned by the strong impact of the 7,000 Hongtang cavalry and persevered until the arrival of their cavalry army.

With the presence of their own cavalry, the Qing Dynasty finally got rid of the threat of the Hongtang cavalry and was able to concentrate on dealing with the counterattack of the Ming army.

It's just that without the white flag cavalry in the position to assault the Ming army formation, seeing that the morale of the Ming army supporting the arrival is a few points higher, although the main battlefield has gained the upper hand, but the Qing people want to completely win the victory of the main battlefield for a while, but it still takes a lot of effort.

"What a pity!!"

Not only Wu Jie, who was in charge of the Chinese army, felt sorry, but even An Xianguo, who led the charge, was secretly annoyed.

The banner of the Chinese army of the Great Qing Dynasty was obviously in front of him, as if he could pick it up with one hand, but the Qing soldiers who rushed over one after another to fight with him finally filled it with their lives and intercepted the speed of the Hongtang Cavalry Division.

Losing speed, the lethality of the cavalry is reduced by almost half, and the impact on the infantry position of the Qing Dynasty naturally loses its initial lethality, plus Prince Rui personally went into battle to boost morale, after the first wave of impact could not be achieved, it was almost impossible to pull out space to accelerate on the narrow and crowded battlefield.

And with the return of the White Banner Cavalry of the Great Qing Dynasty, they were entangled with An Xianguo's cavalry division, and a tragic head-to-head duel was launched between the two sides, and An Xianguo's Department naturally became even more unlikely to pay attention to the location of the Great Qing Dynasty's banner in front of him.

Realistically speaking, the cavalry quality of the Qing people is indeed much higher than that of the Hongtang cavalry, if the Hongtang cavalry is one of the best among the Han cavalry, then the five thousand cavalry of the Zhengbai Banner that can exist as the personal cavalry of the Gongwei Prince Dolgon is the top cavalry of this era.

The Daqing Zheng White Flag Cavalry, which was already less than 5,000 in scale, faced the 7,000 Hongtang cavalry that almost maintained a complete formation and strength, and the contest between the two sides was even tied.

For a while, the Hongtang cavalry, which was relied on by Wu Jie as a heavy hand, seemed to have no hope for the time being, but the Hongtang army, which had gradually lost its advantage on the main battlefield, had to rely on its own strength to deal with the offensive of the Qing infantry army that was higher than the wave, and the contest between the two sides gradually came to a more fierce situation.

After thinking about the source of the two Ming armies that suddenly came over, Prince Rui Dolgon naturally thought of the possible reinforcements of the enemy in front of him: behind their main force of the Qing Dynasty, the 30,000 Ming Dynasty troops nailed to the rear were all of the same strength as the Ming army in front of them, then the 50,000 infantry troops he left under Liaoyang City could not really be the opponents of the Ming army in the city; There is also the Ming army of Hat Helmet Mountain, which has not appeared, although its strength is not much, but on this scorching battlefield, nearly 10,000 infantry is very likely to pull the battlefield situation in another direction.

The main force of the Qing Dynasty is almost all out, but now it can no longer take out manpower to support any side, if there is another accident or trouble, it will be extremely troublesome and dangerous for them in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, in Dorgon's view, they must end the battle as soon as possible while the situation is still under their control, and the whole battle must be decided.

But from the perspective of the Hongtang generals, they are now at a complete disadvantage on the main battlefield, because the white flag cavalry has wreaked havoc on the Hongtang battle line before, making the Hongtang formation, which can hold out for a longer time, become shaky. But in their plan, the reinforcements of Liaoyang and Maohelshan are rushing towards their battlefield, and the longer the time drags on, the greater the advantage for their Hongtang.

Therefore, in Wu Jie's hearts, they naturally insisted to the end, no matter how strong the Qing soldiers were, their Hongtang soldiers were also encouraged and mobilized by their respective non-commissioned officers, pressing every bit of potential on their bodies, just to drag the arrival of reinforcements in the rear.

Both sides are wars that cannot be lost, and whoever loses this battle will be a heavy blow to their team, and it can even be said that they have lost all the reserves of the struggle for world domination.

It was precisely the generals on both sides who understood this truth, so on the battlefield that had been fighting fiercely for several days at this time, in their hands, the lives of the soldiers who were used as bargaining chips were invariably regarded by the generals of both sides as cold numbers in the report.

"Send people out, you must find out the movement of the Ming army in Hat Helmet Mountain! Find someone to contact the general soldier surnamed Geng and surnamed Kong to double our chips!! ”

"Send someone to contact Division Commander Geng and them, and ask them to hurry up and join our army!!"

The two commanders of the Chinese army, Dolgon and Wu Jie, invariably aimed their attention now at the 10,000 Dongjiang Town soldiers who were not very important, and at this delicate moment, the 10,000-strong army in the hands of Geng Kong and the two will become the most important part of this battle.

When the two messengers, one in front and one behind, found Geng Kong's team and fulfilled their responsibilities such as the main general, this dilemma was thrown into the hands of Geng Kong and the others, who were only less than fifty miles away from the battlefield outside Phoenix City.

"Lao Geng, which side do you think we should help??"

To tell the truth, Kong Youde has long been moved by the conditions given by the Qing Dynasty people in his heart, but he was moved by Geng Zhongming before, and finally did not make the choice to rebel against Hongmen.

However, he still took into account the opinions of his old partner and did not express his emotions directly, but the eagerness on his face, even if he didn't say much, Geng Zhongming, who was delicate, didn't know.

"Heh, in fact, even I don't know what to choose!"

Geng Zhongming's face was more anxious and embarrassed, in terms of reason, they should all choose to continue to fight with Hongmen, not to mention Hongmen's personal feelings such as favors for them, these years have seen the development and growth of Hongmen, and looked at their various strange technologies and systems, all of which made the intelligent Geng Zhongming feel the vitality of their team.

Moreover, if this battle can defeat the main army of the Qing Dynasty and defeat it, then it means that the future prospects of Hongmen are broader, and it is not difficult for these old people to be crowned kings.

But in the same way, the purchase of real money and silver by the Qing people, and the princes and princes who are at their fingertips in front of them, are far more heartwarming than the unfinished interests of Hongmen.
