On the wilderness of more than ten miles north of Haizhou City, 50,000 Guanning iron cavalry are fighting fiercely with 60,000 Mengyuan foot soldiers, and 100,000 Houjin and Mengyuan cavalry are overwhelmingly rushing from a distance, and Guanning iron cavalry is in danger.

Zu Dashou struggled to slash and kill while thinking about countermeasures.

If he immediately led the army to flee in the direction of Da Liaohe Fort, more than half of the Guanning Iron Cavalry should be able to escape, but in that case, he would escape from the battle, and his back road to escape from the 40,000 Liaodong Army infantry soldiers would be cut off by Jiannu, even if others fled back, I am afraid that they would not be able to escape the sanctions of military law, even if they were lucky enough to escape the sanctions of military law, his conscience would be tormented from now on, leaving the Liaodong Army infantry to escape alone, he Ning Yuan's ancestral family could not afford to lose this person!

If you can't escape, then you can only find a way to deal with this group of Jiannu, he looked at the situation on the battlefield, and soon found a problem, there are still dense foot soldiers between the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Jiannu Cavalry.

This may be used to delay the time, no matter how ferocious he is Huang Taiji, it is impossible to lead the cavalry to cut off his own foot soldiers to fight with him, as long as he bites this foot soldier, he Huang Taiji does not even dare to put arrows!

So, without giving any orders, he just sat in the pile of foot soldiers and fought left and right, neither advancing nor retreating, just circling in the same place.

Guanning Iron Cavalry was formed when Sun Chengzong supervised Liaodong in the second year of the Apocalypse, and has a history of more than ten years, and most of the soldiers are veterans of a hundred battles.

In this way, although it is possible to be surrounded by the Jiannu cavalry, at least there will be no risk of immediate rout, they all understand that now, the most important thing is not to escape by themselves, but to drag the reinforcements of the Jiannu army as much as possible, so that the Liaodong Army infantry has time to withdraw, as for themselves, with the help of the war horses under their crotch, in this empty field, it is not too difficult to escape.

All the Guanning Iron Cavalry soldiers understood it, and no longer rushed forward, but slashed and killed on the spot.

When Huang Taiji rushed over, it was called an excitement, and Guan Ning Tieqi really did not dare to leave the infantry who was attacking the city and fled as he calculated.

Do they think they can stop their 100,000 iron horses, dreaming!

He believes that at most half an hour, 50,000 Guanning iron cavalry can be defeated, at that time, the Ming army infantry attacking the city should still be on the way to flee to the Great Liaohe Fort, and then lead the cavalry to catch up, and the main force of the Ming army in Liaodong can be annihilated in one battle!

However, as the battlefield approached, his face slowly turned ugly.

He found that he had no way to lead 100,000 cavalry to rush up and defeat the Guanning Iron Cavalry, because the Guanning Iron Cavalry had already rushed to the Meng Yuan infantry formation, and the periphery was densely packed with Meng Yuan infantry soldiers, and he wanted to rush up to engage the Guanning Iron Cavalry, unless he cut down all the Meng Yuan infantry soldiers who were blocking in front!

This is naturally impossible, if he gives this kind of order, the Mengyuan tribes will have to be forced to rebel, and their own people will cut their own people, this kind of thing cannot be done.

In fact, he still has a lot of options at this time, but the other options can't achieve the results he wants.

He can order 100,000 cavalry to surround all the Guanning Iron Cavalry and Mengyuan Infantry Cavalry, in that way, it will be difficult for Guanning Iron Cavalry to escape, even if they can finally break through, at least more than half of them will fall here, but it is quite time-consuming to enclose such a large battlefield, and it will take even more time to shrink the encirclement later, and when he finishes cleaning up here, the Ming Army infantry will probably flee back to Daliaohe Fort.

He can also lead the cavalry to slowly squeeze through the middle of the foot soldiers, and even the synchronous pawns together, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry in a melee battle, in that way, the Guanning Iron Cavalry should be more destroyed, but the melee is also time-consuming, if you really fight, you can't finish the battle in one day today.

He can also make 100,000 cavalry scatter left and right, let the foot soldiers retreat from the middle, and then lead the cavalry to surround from the left and right flanks to defeat the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which is the most time-saving, although the Guanning Iron Cavalry can take the opportunity to escape more than half, but the battle here can end quickly, and the Ming infantry must have no chance to escape.

Huang Taiji weighed it for a while, and then shouted behind him: "Pass my order, and order Abatai to lead Meng Yuan's infantry to retreat and leave the battlefield." ”

Behind him, a herald guard received the order, and hurriedly galloped out of the horse and rushed towards Meng Yuan's foot soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, he shouted to the side: "Yue Tuo, quickly disperse the Mengyuan cavalry to the left, preparing to outflank the Ming cavalry from the left flank. ”

Yue Tuo got the order, took his subordinates and guards, and commanded the Mengyuan cavalry to slowly rush to the left front.

Huang Taiji then raised his hand again and shouted: "Houjin Eight Banners, follow me to the right, ready to outflank the Ming cavalry from the right flank." ”

Soon, after 60,000 years, Jin Tieqi followed him and slowly rushed to the right front.

In this way, a huge gap was exposed in the middle of the cavalry, and after receiving the order, Abatai immediately commanded Meng Yuan's infantry to quickly retreat to the gap behind.

Seeing this, Zu Dashou waved his hand without hesitation and shouted: "Catch up, don't let them run away." ”

This guy, the north is Jiannu's territory, okay, chasing their foot soldiers to the north, isn't this looking for death!

However, none of the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry hesitated, and as soon as Zu Dashou caught up with the horse, all the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry followed and chased after him.

The infantry would definitely not be able to outrun the cavalry, so soon, they rushed into the retreating Meng Yuan infantry formation.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger, who is this, so shameless, biting the infantry tightly, how can he lead the cavalry to rush up and fight head-on!

He looked at the direction of Haicheng regretfully, and then shouted: "Surround it and kill this Ming cavalry!" ”

At this time, he couldn't take care of the Ming army outside Haizhou City, if he let the Guanning Iron Cavalry rush down like this, it is estimated that they can rush to Liaoyang and occupy Liaoyang City, you know, at this time, Liaoyang City only left a few hundred people to guard the city gate, and there is no defense at all!

Zu Dashou saw the Jiannu cavalry on both wings surrounding, and hurriedly shouted: "Platoon the front arrow, rush with me, and kill this foot soldier." ”

After roaring, he directly hit the horse to speed up and took the lead in rushing forward.

The guards behind him rushed after him, shouting in unison: "Lost front, lost edge, lost edge...... lost." ”

The soldiers of the Guanning Iron Cavalry roared when they heard the roar: "The front is lost, the front is lost, the front is lost, the front is lost, the ...... is lost." ”

The cavalry scattered among the foot soldiers gathered in the middle like an ant stream, and soon, the Guanning iron cavalry miraculously gathered into an arrow shape and rushed forward with Zu Dashou.

The speed of the foot soldiers is naturally incomparable with the cavalry, and no one in the Meng Yuan foot soldier formation can stop Zu Dashou, not even Abatai, so in less than a quarter of an hour, the Meng Yuan foot soldiers were killed by Zu Dashou's army, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry swept away in the direction of Liaoyang like an arrow!

Huang Taiji couldn't help but yell: "Useless things, chase!" ”

At this time, outside Haizhou City, Yuan Chonghuan was fighting his horse and standing in front of the infantry formation to supervise the battle, and a team of cavalry in the north suddenly rushed over like a whirlwind, rushing not far in front of him, Zu Zerun, who was covered in blood, strangled the war horse, and shouted with a crying voice: "My lord, it's not good, Huang Taiji has rushed over with more than 100,000 reinforcements, my father asked me to come and report the news, he, he can only hold out for an hour at most." ”

"Ahh , Yuan Chonghuan almost fell off the horse when he heard this, Guanning Iron Cavalry could only hold on for an hour, what kind of men and horses did Huang Taiji bring, he hurriedly asked: "What reinforcements did Huang Taiji bring, why did General Zu say that he could only hold out for an hour at most?" ”

Zu Zerun reported with red eyes: "Those 60,000 foot soldiers are just bait, Huang Taiji has brought at least 100,000 cavalry to follow, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry can't resist it at all!" ”

160,000 troops, and 100,000 cavalry, no matter how powerful the Guanning Iron Cavalry is, it can't withstand it, Yuan Chonghuan finally understood, he fell for Huang Taiji's evil, and any army was empty, and Huang Taiji led him to the bait!

Fortunately, Zu Dashou did not escape from the battle, and in an hour, the foot soldiers could escape back to Da Liaohe Fort without any damage, but I don't know how much Guan Ning Tieqi could escape back in the end.

Time was pressing, and he couldn't afford to think about it, Yuan Chonghuan calmed down, and then ordered: "He Kegang, speed 20,000 foot soldiers to clean up the camp tent, give you a quarter of an hour, and clean up as much as you can." ”

He Kegang quickly took the order and left, and Yuan Chonghuan immediately ordered: "Mingjin collects the troops, and orders the siege infantry to discard all siege equipment and quickly withdraw to gather." ”

A gong sounded, countless flags flew with it, and the siege soldiers, including the musketeers, discarded all the siege equipment and retreated like a tide.

About a quarter of an hour later, the siege infantry and musketeers had been assembled, and Yuan Chonghuan looked at the chaotic camp and shouted in frustration: "Order, the whole army retreats, marches quickly, and rushes back to the Great Liaohe Fort." ”

With his order, more than 30,000 infantry soldiers of the Liaodong Army lined up in a sparse line, drove the carriage, and rushed towards the direction of the Great Liaohe Fort with the baggage that had been temporarily packed.

And at this time, Zu Dashou had already led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to run north for forty or fifty miles, of course he would not be stupid to capture Liaoyang, that is a lonely city, even if it is taken down, it is useless, and it is very likely that all the Guanning Iron Cavalry will be buried there, the field is the world of cavalry, and to trap the lonely city is purely to find death.

He calculated the time, at this time, the infantry of the Liaodong Army attacking the city should have begun to retreat, it was time to run back, he immediately raised his hand to the left, and ran towards the Liaohe River with Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Huang Taiji followed behind this anger, he really didn't expect this Ming general to be so witty, he actually ran north in the opposite way, and rushed out of his encirclement at once, so that he could only follow behind and chase after him, and this guy is still cheating, flickering left and right, making himself think that he was going to run back, and when he commanded his cavalry to intercept, he turned his horse's head and ran straight north, making himself chase farther and farther!

At this moment, this guy ran to the left with someone again, as if he was going to flee in the direction of the Liao River, he didn't pay attention to it at all, just led the army to bite his tail and chase wildly.

He only felt that his lungs were about to be blown up, boy, you play, I'll see how long you play, I'll see where you run!

Zu Dashou didn't play this time, he looked back, Huang Taiji did not divide his troops to the left rear to intercept, immediately turned the horse's head, pulled out a huge arc, turned a big circle, and led the army to flee in the direction of Da Liao River Fort.

He was fooled again, and Huang Taiji's mouth was almost crooked, but he didn't give up, because he knew that there was a narrow pontoon bridge on the Liao River, and nearly 50,000 cavalry were going to pass, at least two quarters of an hour, and when the time came, he could bite his tail and kill him.

Here Zu Dashou took Huang Taiji in a circle, and Yuan Chonghuan over there had already begun to run frantically with more than 30,000 foot soldiers, more than fifty miles, if it was about two hours or so at a normal speed, but it was different when he fled for his life, less than an hour, the Liao River was already in sight, and many foot soldiers were already out of breath at this time, but at this time they did not have the slightest idea of stopping, because they knew that only by crossing the river could it be considered absolutely safe.

Yuan Chonghuan and He Kegang and other generals had already beaten their horses to the pontoon bridge on the bank of the Liao River, but they did not cross the river, because they knew that thousands of troops and horses were most afraid of chaos when they crowded the single-plank bridge, and if they all ran over, more than 30,000 foot soldiers swarmed to the pontoon bridge, not only could not withdraw in time, but also might squeeze the pontoon bridge off, and it would be really over at that time.

Seeing that the foot soldiers were already approaching the shore, Yuan Chonghuan immediately ordered: "He Kegang quickly let them form a team, Zu Dale, you take the archers to cross the river first, Zu Zepu you bring the musketeers to follow, Cao Gongcheng, you take the pikemen later, He Kegang you bring the sword and shield last." ”

When the four generals behind him heard this, they all said in unison to obey the order, and then beat their horses and ran in the direction of the broken foot.

Soon, a team of archers stepped on the pontoon bridge and ran to the opposite bank, and the others quickly lined up on the bank, preparing to cross the river, everything was so orderly, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, fortunately, these are veterans of a hundred battles, they are not flustered at all, if they are some new soldiers, it will be troublesome.

He was still secretly rejoicing, there was a sudden thunderous sound of horses' hooves in the distance, he hurriedly raised the binoculars to see, it was Zu Dashou, it turned out to be Zu Dashou!

He roughly swept around, the loss of Guanning Iron Cavalry was not very large, and there were more than 40,000 people, but behind them was dusty, and the earth dragon was rolling, and it was obvious that Huang Taiji was leading the ranks to chase after him.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan was not in a hurry, because there were twenty artillery pieces facing this side of the Da Liaohe Fort opposite, and the firing range of the artillery was about five miles, and the width of this section of the Liao River was only one mile, that is to say, within four miles of the east bank was the range of artillery bombardment, as long as some obstacles were set up, so that the Jiannu cavalry could not rush over, they would only have to eat the shells.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan immediately shouted: "Quick, let He Kegang put all the grain and grass baggage carts two miles in front of the river bank, leaving only a one-zhang wide opening in the middle, so that the Guanning iron cavalry can pass through, and the sword and shield hands and the long grabbers are lined up behind the grain and grass baggage carts, ready to block the enemy cavalry." ”

It's a pity that the musketeers have run out of ammunition at this time, otherwise, he can still let the musketeers line up behind the sword and shield men and give Huang Taiji five salvos, in that case, Huang Taiji will have to leave at least thirty or forty thousand horses!

His idea was good, but unfortunately, he didn't know that Hong Chengchou had pitted him again.

At this time, because the retreat was too hasty, he didn't even notice that this guy Hong Chengchou didn't come to the other side to greet them, and he didn't even send someone over to ask what was going on!
