Zhang Qiang was halfway there, staying in the camp thirty miles behind Xiao Fei, watching Brother Zhu stop, he was also very unhappy, and actually let Ao Bai escape, but the war eagle during the day still quickly tracked down the movements of the Ao Bai army, but only after walking out of the twenty miles distance, he could still catch up, and hurriedly asked Xiao Fei's camp to quickly pull out the camp to pursue, because there was no ambush in front of him, he saw all the surrounding fifty miles, and the rush to flee Ao Bai was just a broken tail to survive, how could he have the ability to ambush an ambush.

The herald ran to Xiao Fei's camp, Xiao Fei's camp had just been set up, and the Huaxia army, which had been running all night, had just rested for less than an hour, so they hurriedly pulled out the camp again, and they didn't even have time to dismantle the camp, and they started to pull out the camp again with their baggage and grain and grass.

And by the time Xiao Fei's herald caught up with Brother Zhu and sent the news to Brother Zhu, two hours had passed, and it was almost noon.

Suo Etu is very cunning, if the enemy does not come to attack, I will not send troops out to provoke you, so that you can't figure out your head, don't dare to decide on your own, Brother Zhu walked around before, or not at ease, sent cavalry to reconnoiter the enemy within a radius of fifty miles, until noon, he just figured out that the enemy did not ambush the enemy, and then sent out the scouts who had rested for a few hours to pursue the enemy's army, and the cavalry that had fought yesterday strengthened their strength to intercept the cavalry brigade sent by Suo Etu to intercept the scout cavalry.

Suo Etu saw that the enemy was moving, and knew that he couldn't delay, and the real test had arrived, so he immediately reorganized his army and battled, and lined up in front of the camp.

Fortunately, Suo Etu is not the kind of person who likes to use cannon fodder soldiers, and the two sides are cavalry bloody battles, using cannon fodder infantry, it is simply looking for death, and those cannon fodder soldiers Soltu does not dare to use it, the strength is too low, I am afraid that the time will not be right, escape, disrupt my own position, and affect the morale of my troops.

Two Mongol cavalry were placed on both flanks, and Soltu led the Manchu cavalry to line up with the Chinese army, placing yesterday's scout cavalry and the broken Han army banner cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry behind his own team, while protecting the barracks, he could attack at any time to support his own Chinese army.

The whole array was very close, and the left and right flanks were almost connected, because Soltu knew that relying on 2,000 soldiers and horses to block the enemy's Chinese cavalry assault would be simply looking for his own death, so he could only put the Mongolian cavalry in front and shrink in the back to support at any time.

On Brother Zhu's side, with two field brigades of cavalry, cold weapons and dragoons, as well as personal guard cavalry, he lined up about 4,000 dragoons in front of the cavalry queue, and lancers and cavalry in the back of the queue, so that it was the same as Suo Etu, 8,000 cavalry, 4,000 cavalry on each side.

He brought a phalanx of personal guard cavalry and archers, and chassars of about 6,000 troops, and in the middle army, behind were the scout cavalry and the militia cavalry that followed, in fact, they were also horse infantry, placed in the rear, more than 2,000 troops, and there were heavy soldiers composed of mules and horses in the large battalion.

The flag waved, and Brother Zhu took the initiative to attack.

Because Suo Etu is simply a tortoise, it is a array, he spent nearly an hour, the confrontation between the two sides took half an hour, and it took him an hour and a half, Brother Zhu was a little breathless, the other party did not attack, nor defended, just did not move there, he could only take the initiative to attack, the army led by Xiao Fei is coming, if he can't clean up this point of the enemy's broken rear strength, where will his face go.

The dragoons in front rushed towards the enemy together, and the lancers in the rear followed slowly, ready to charge.

The range of movement of the cavalry was larger, and the two sides gathered about five miles together, and when the dragoons reached about a mile in front of the Suo Etu array, Suo Etu ordered the Mongol cavalry in front of him to charge.

The eight thousand cavalry moved together, first slowly, and after the formation spread out slightly, the horses began to trot, then accelerated, and finally began to sprint for a hundred meters.

The dragoons of the Huaxia army stopped at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters and began to load ammunition, one hundred and thirty meters, after the ammunition was loaded, a neat salvo fired, even if the Mongolian cavalry was scattered, but the eight thousand cavalry were still dense and inseparable, and the ammunition indisputably penetrated most of the enemy's first-row cavalry.

The Mongol cavalry fell from their horses one after another, and were trampled by the cavalry behind, either dead or wounded, and they were seriously wounded.

The formation became a little scattered.

But the Mongol cavalry still accelerated, accelerated, and accelerated, but to their shame, the enemy still did not move, where to load ammunition, fifty meters, the enemy's second volley came down, the Mongol cavalry had lost about a thousand troops, maybe most of them were not dead, but they fell from their horses, but they fell from their horses, which meant that the Mongol cavalry had reduced their combat strength by more than a thousand at once.

The Mongolian cavalry still has hope, approaching the enemy, a charge, can make the enemy lose so much, the Mongolian cavalry since the Meng Yuan, although there is no blood, but their natural cavalry attributes are still there, combat effectiveness still thinks that it is much more powerful than the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, even if the five elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland may not be able to beat the Mongolian cavalry with the ability to mount and shoot, these Ming cavalry in the south, they think, a fight of ten or look up to them.

But as they approached a distance of about forty meters, the enemy's formation suddenly dispersed, and they were met by the lancers in the rear.

The Mongol cavalry had already drawn their bows and were about to shoot the first round of arrows at the enemy, when the enemy suddenly rushed up from behind the dragoons and collided with them directly at a distance of twenty meters from the dragoons.

The dragoons had fired a volley before that, perhaps closer, and the enemy's salvo was more lethal than before, this time taking away more than six hundred Mongol cavalry at once, and then the enemy collided with them.

The spear several meters long hit them directly, and the cavalry in front of them was picked off their horses, and many of them did not pull their bows and arrows in their hands, and they turned on their backs.

The speed of the spearmen's sprint was nothing short of lightning, directly piercing their formation.

Of course, the lancers also lost a lot of troops, at least 300 people fell off their horses, but the Mongol cavalry was heavier, and the salvo of the three-wheeled dragoons made them lose nearly 1,800 troops, and the lancers made them lose 1,000 troops, and they lost one-third of their troops at once.

The lancers, who had lost their spears, drew their spears hanging on the sides, turned around and rushed back again, while the dragoons began to shoot freely, and the dragoons in the front line threw away their arquebuses and rushed directly with their sabers.

The dragoons in the back row rode their horses to both sides, and the cold weapon cavalry of the two families collided together, the battlefield expanded rapidly, and the range of one mile was not enough, and the battlefield quickly spread to the plains, hills, and woods of five or six miles, and countless cavalry entangled, pursued, and killed.

The Chinese armies on both sides stood still, and lined up in places where they were closer to each other and gathered more than three miles to wait for the results of the front army.

Seeing that the enemy's cavalry strength on the field was reduced, Brother Zhu quickly ordered some dragoons in the rear to come back and line up on both sides of him.

And Suo Etu had a cold face, and others didn't know what he was thinking, so they watched the battle of the cavalry on both sides on the battlefield and didn't adjust their deployment.

It was only when the cavalry of the Huaxia army fled close to their formation that the Manchu cavalry of the Qing army bent their bows and arrows one after another, and only stopped killing and wounding a few approaching dragoons, nor did they help the Mongol cavalry.

Suo Etu looked at the sky from time to time.
