To say that Ma Bao is also a smart person, how can he escape from the defeat of tens of thousands of people if he is not smart?

He was able to escape from the hard labor camp of the Huaxia Army, which helped Shang Kexi escape, and he was very good at escaping.

Seeing that the cavalry brigade of the Huaxia Army was in hot pursuit, he once again threw out a part of the soldiers and horses, three thousand Han army flags, and equipped the Han army flag with one hundred cavalry, this hundred cavalry he ordered, not with the three thousand Han army flags, but fell behind the Han army flag, that is, in front of the cavalry brigade, when they saw the soldiers and horses of the cavalry brigade, they used the same tactics of the dragoons of the Huaxia army to deal with the cavalry brigade.

The cavalry brigade did not suspect him, and when the enemy fled they pursued him, and with only a hundred men, they immediately sent a hundred scout cavalry to pursue him.

Scout cavalry is a good hand in pursuit, a good hand in pathfinding, and it is also a first-line dead soldier in the ancient battle formation, reconnaissance and interception of the enemy's scout cavalry, nine out of ten pioneers died, they all know their mission, they are all outlaws, and they can be called the elite of the elite, but they are light cavalry after all, the main task is reconnaissance, is to intercept the enemy's intelligence, if they are scouts, although the two sides are bloody, but they will not be completely destroyed, unless the enemy is too strong, but now the cavalry brigade of the Huaxia Army has more soldiers and fewer enemy soldiers.

Of the 100 cavalry of the Lu army, the Huaxia army sent 120 scout cavalry to intercept it.

However, after chasing thirty miles, a hundred cavalry is divided into five units, and the scout cavalry of the Huaxia Army is also divided into five groups to pursue, and there are still more troops than the enemy, but these Lu cavalry are also elite, the elite cavalry of the Han Army Banner, they are better at military formation coordination than the scout cavalry, fighting alone, Yin people, they are not as good as the scout cavalry, but the small force cooperates to attack, and they are not much inferior to the Huaxia Army scout cavalry.

They led the scout cavalry of the Huaxia army away fifty miles, and then met in one place, one hundred cavalry, divided into two groups, killed one of the scout cavalry of the Huaxia army, and then dealt with the other one, although not all killed, but also let the scout cavalry suffer heavy losses, had to flee, so they went to find another group again, several times down, the scout cavalry retreated, the cavalry of the Lu army pursued closely, and soon caught up with a cavalry brigade of cavalry, this cavalry soon sent more cavalry to chase and kill the enemy cavalry.

So the hundred cavalry led away the thousand cavalry of this group of cavalry.

has been chasing for more than a hundred miles, and it is impossible to go around and come back, and it is impossible to catch up in time, so that out of 6,000 cavalry, 1,000 cavalry have left the team.

When the more than 5,000 cavalry of the cavalry brigade caught up with the 3,000 infantry of the Han army banner, these cavalry were still running back seventy or eighty miles away, and the 100 Han army banner cavalry were still hanging them like flies behind, constantly attacking them and slowing them down.

Although the cavalry was faster than the infantry, they had to take care of their horsepower, and they could run a hundred miles, but they could only run eighty miles, so it took them half an afternoon to catch up with the equally fast-moving cavalry brigade.

The 5,000 cavalry and the 3,000 Han soldiers were inseparable, and it took half an hour to solve the problem, and the 3,000 Han soldiers were killed more than 2,000 people, and hundreds of people scattered and fled, and the cavalry brigade divided into 300 cavalry to pursue, and then again divided into several groups to pursue Mahan's army.

This time, Mahan once again threw out a thousand Xiangyong for the cavalry brigade to kill, and then sent a hundred cavalry to lure away the cavalry of the cavalry brigade.

Although Gao Yigong is smart, there are times when he can't turn a corner for a while, not to mention the cavalry under his command, some of these cavalry are the cavalry of his Dashun army, these people are simple-minded, they are all people who have been refined and fought from the border army and farmers, and they only know how to rush and kill, and soon the cavalry of the 100 Lu army will lead away 300 cavalry again.

Gao Yigong, who only had more than 4,000 cavalry left, did not know that his strength was already in jeopardy.

When his four cavalry joined again, they caught up with Mahan's brigade, scattered a part of the people, and also dispersed the strength of two or three thousand people led by a general under Ma Bao's account.

This is the case with the army of the Ming Dynasty, most of the soldiers are slaves, only the family and the general are the real soldiers, the general with his family and the general and the cavalry brigade of the cavalry to fight together, drag this part of the cavalry, and so this part of the cavalry will defeat the enemy again, kill the general of the Lu army, Ma Bao's army has gone more than ten miles away.

Another cavalry also rushed to kill a Lu army retreating with the people, the enemy on their side was too small, but a thousand, the cavalry brigade cavalry killed two or three hundred people, the people and the Lu soldiers scattered and fled, and then the four cavalry faced the enemy's brigade of soldiers and horses to continue to pursue, but the enemy's brigade of soldiers and horses turned around, put on a formation, the cavalry brigade and horses were few, so they did not dare to rush, they could only hang far away.

Ma Bao simply found the cavalry generals and asked them to meet them with five thousand cavalry, but before the battle, he brought the generals and instructed them again, and the two cavalry generals understood and rushed forward with five thousand cavalry, and one cavalry general rushed forward with the cavalry, and the two thousand cavalry rushed over, shot at the cavalry brigade, and then turned the horse's head, regardless of the dead and wounded and the cavalry who fell off the horse, and fled.

Where to flee, fleeing in the diagonal direction from which the cavalry brigade came, Gao Yigong had to divide 1,500 cavalry to pursue, and then turn around to meet the cavalry behind the 3,000 enemy.

These cavalry were not cavalry with arquebuses, and when they came to the front of them, they turned around and ran, Gao Yigong took the remaining more than 2,000 cavalry in hot pursuit, and the two sides fought all the way, and gradually Gao Yigong found that he was diverted, and he was led away, unable to pursue the enemy's brigade.

After a calculation, at least fifty miles of pursuit, the enemy is still on the run, and the cavalry brigade has also lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and if they do not catch the enemy, the cavalry is not reconciled, so they can only continue to pursue with the cavalry brigade.

Zhang Qiang never imagined that Gao Yigong's cavalry brigade was actually led away by Ma Bao's tricks.

He was more worried, and he also fell for Ma Bao's plan, because the cavalry brigade had to collect and settle the soldiers and horses defeated by his guard brigade, and he had to send the prisoners and civilians to the rear, so the three thousand soldiers and horses in the rear gradually reconciled, but it became a camp for the prisoners.

There were too many prisoners of the enemy, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses discarded by Ma Bao several times, more than 30,000 civilians, those who dragged their children and daughters, and the wounded, the Guards Brigade could not be ignored, 3,000 soldiers and horses were not enough at all, and they were so busy that they could not pursue the army at all.

So Ma Bao once again took a large group of men and horses and the Huaxia Army to kick off, and he threw off the Huaxia Army for fifty miles.

When Zhang Qiang came back to his senses, there were only 5,000 exhausted guards brigades around him, and 500 cavalry from the cavalry brigade collected from the road, all of which were led away cavalry and scout cavalry.

The scout cavalry of the Guards Brigade was still only chasing Ma Bao's large force, returning at any time to report the enemy's position.

As soon as he looked up, Zhang Qiang found that he had caught up with Ma Bao's army, Ma Bao turned to face the battle, and in Zhang Qiang's binoculars, Ma Bao looked at Zhang Qiang's exhausted five thousand soldiers and horses and smiled very sinisterly.

Zhang Qiang's mind suddenly flashed, and he immediately sent a hundred cavalry to the back to find his Guards Brigade soldiers, so that they could leave the rout and immediately come to meet him, but eighty miles, the Guards Brigade forced the march, and should be able to come over in a few hours, and at the same time let them hurry up and urge the Third Regiment of the Ninth Brigade behind to catch up, and then send a hundred cavalry again to find Gao Yigong of the scattered Fourth Cavalry Brigade within a hundred miles to let him come back and make peace with him, and write a letter to ask the commander of the Guards Brigade to lead the rear troops to catch up quickly.

Thinking that it was not enough, I sent fifty cavalry to Geng Quanli, Qin Mo, and the twenty-seventh brigade again to ask for help, and let them bring troops and horses, because at this moment the Guards Brigade was already at the boundary of Linyi Mansion.

A hundred miles past is Linyi Mansion City, where is Hong Chengchou's soldiers and horses.
