Li Yan soon came to the position of the cavalry first under the escort of his own soldiers. He looked at the corpses on the ground, most of them were trampled on and blurred with flesh and blood, and those who were not trampled on by the horses were mostly just injured.

"Dashuai." Bai Shixiong clenched his fists and reported: "The Qing army rode and shot my horses very well, so that we lost seventy-three horses, and thirty-one horses were injured, which was no longer suitable for riding." ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "Well, it seems that you have to add some protective gear to the war horse." But now you can't do it, you still have to continue to pursue the past. ”

Bai Shixiong was a little surprised, Li Yan was very concerned about the protection of the cavalry before, why is he indifferent to this one-for-one result now

He reminded: "Marshal, the battle losses between us and the Qing army are basically one to one, and if we continue to fight like this, even if our cavalry is wiped out, it will only destroy four or five thousand Qing troops." ”

Li Yan pointed to the corpses and said, "Most of them were trampled to death. Keep your distance as you pursue, be careful, most of them should just be injured. I will transfer all the horses we have captured to replenish the loss of horses. This group of Qing troops is almost the last main force in Guannai. The Qing army that fled from Tongzhou last time, we let it go gently, but this time we have to go all out to kill the enemy. If you don't let them pay a big enough price, they will make a comeback in a short time. ”

Bai Shixiong and Liang Zhenfang clasped their fists and said: "I understand the humble position." We will do our best to inflict heavy losses on the Qing army. ”

"Learn to protect yourself, too." Li Yan reminded: "It's not for you to exchange your lives for your lives, but to fight skillfully." Think for yourselves what is the best way to inflict heavy damage on the enemy and save yourselves. ”

Bai Shixiong couldn't think of a good way for the time being, so he had to agree first.

Li Yan ordered: "You go after it first, the food, grass and ammunition will follow behind, you have to find a good camp by yourself, the infantry may not be able to keep up with your speed." ”

The two of them clenched their fists and agreed, and immediately returned to the group. They first explained the precautions mentioned by Li Yan to his subordinates, and then led the troops to start the pursuit again.

Li Yan waited for the infantry to come up, and by the way, he took a look at the wounded cavalry. After waiting for a while, Wang Renfu and two thousand cavalry came first.

"It's just right," Li Yan immediately ordered: "The infantry is under your command, and I will take the cavalry to the front to pursue the Qing army." You must prepare food, grass and ammunition for the cavalry, and I will leave three hundred cavalry, and the two hundred cavalry who will pursue and destroy the Qing infantry, and they will protect the safety of the baggage. You should also speed up the follow-up with the infantry and not go too far from the cavalry. ”

Wang Renfu immediately persuaded: "Marshal, you are the commander, even if you don't stay in the capital, you have to command the rear with the infantry, how can you go to the danger in person?"

Li Yan instructed Sun Sifu: "Go and give orders to the infantry." After that, he said to Wang Renfu: "This battle with the Qing army is a matter of the overall situation, and I can't be careless, I have to go to the front to watch it myself." Remember, protect your baggage. In addition, he sent someone to the capital to bring out 4,000 captured war horses, so that Li Mu could prepare the baggage to replenish. By the way, you have a few bombs for each of the cavalrymen. ”

Wang Renfu saw that Li Yan could not be persuaded to do so, so he had to accept the order: "Obey the order." ”

After the cavalry were ready, Li Yan led the cavalry to chase in the northeast direction. They chased for more than half an hour before they finally saw Bai Shixiong and them in front.

Now Bai Shixiong and the others have opened up enough distance before and after Li Yan's suggestion, and the cavalry in front of them immediately slowed down after firing a shot, widening the distance between them and the Qing army, so that the Qing soldiers who turned around and fired arrows could not aim at the target. Then the cavalry of the second row struggled to catch up, and before the Qing soldiers released their arrows, they knocked the Qing soldiers off their horses, and then slowed down to open the distance.

As a result, they suffered much fewer casualties. Even if they were shot at the horses, when they fell to the ground, the cavalry jumped off their horses smartly, and they were basically not trampled on by their comrades behind. The distance between them was sufficient, and the cavalry could react and let the horses evade in time.

At this time, Bai Shixiong was not only pursuing the troops left behind by Duoduo and Azig, but the main force of the Qing army.

After the break, Kong Youde and the others were all frightened, Li Yan's cavalry was too difficult, and they caught up again after just stopping for a while. Moreover, Li Yan's troops have powerful firearms, and the armor on his body is basically useless, and whoever falls behind is unlucky. Therefore, none of them were beating their horses, and no one wanted to be left behind, so they chased the tail of the group so quickly.

When Dordor and Azig were debriefed, they were furious. They had 30,000 cavalry, and they let 2,000 enemies chase after them. Before, Li Yan had artillery as cover, but now he only has cavalry. And it was already far from Beijing, and the artillery could not keep up with it in a short time, so they decided to have a war of annihilation.

Li Yan was behind, with a wider field of vision, and saw two groups of men and horses separated from the large army of the Qing army and ran towards the rear. He knew that the Qing army was going to fight back. So he immediately had the herald blow the horn of retreat.

Fortunately, they were not far from Bai Shixiong, and the sound of the horn was penetrating, and several horns sounded at the same time, and the cavalry in front heard it.

"Dashuai, why are you here" Liang Zhenfang retreated first, and asked in surprise when he saw Li Yan. He was taught a lesson by Bai Shixiong, and immediately regained his temperament and calmly commanded at the rear of the team, so he retreated the earliest.

Bai Shixiong and several other generals also came over and saluted Li Yan in surprise. The soldiers took advantage of this short time to install a handcuff first.

Li Yan waved his hand and ordered: "There's no time to waste, you go first, we'll break off." ”

Everyone didn't argue, they only had one or two handcuffs at most and ammunition, so it was more reliable to break them off or let the fresh force break them.

"The back row is ready to shoot with handguns, and the second back row is ready to drop bombs." Seeing thousands of Qing cavalry rushing over, Li Yan led the team to flee while giving an order.

His own soldiers quickly passed the order on, and the cavalry prepared for it. In particular, the cavalrymen in the penultimate row of bombs took the bomb from the bag and held it in their arms, while holding the fire medium in their left hand holding the reins, ready to fire and drop the bomb at any time.

Li Yan kept looking back to observe the distance, and found that the Qing army was only forty or fifty steps away from them, so he immediately ordered: "Drop bombs"

The cavalrymen lit the fuse and grabbed the rope and threw it twice before throwing it backwards. The bomb flew backwards over the heads of the rear row cavalry, and the speed of the war horse was very fast, and before the bomb landed, there were already Qing cavalry rushing up all around.

"Boom", "boom", the bomb exploded in the cavalry group of the Qing army. Although the Qing army would also dodge, the one in front dodged, and the one behind just collided. The shrapnel from the explosion wounded the horses, and the sound frightened the horses, and the waves of anger lifted the nearby cavalry off their horses.

The cavalry of the Qing army held on to the reins, and they were all trying to control the horses, and they had no spare strength to fire arrows. And the bombs continued to be dropped, which made them extremely frightened. When they rushed out of the smoke of the explosion with their heads covered, they hit the incoming projectile head-on. Buckshot struck them so hard that they flew upside down and fell off their horses.
