Li Zicheng has been watching the battle coldly, the Xining rifle appeared on the battlefield for the first time, and the effect achieved was greatly beyond his expectations, although the gunners were a little nervous at the beginning, but after two rounds of fire, the hit rate was close to forty percent, basically reaching the level of training, if there were enough numbers, he believed that it would be absolutely difficult for the Mongolian cavalry to enter the range of bows and arrows.

Seeing that the Mongol cavalry was speeding up again, he asked softly, "How far is it?" ”

"Back to my lord, it's close to one hundred and fifty steps!"

"The cavalry prepares, fight this wave, and the cavalry will immediately go up!"

"Yes, sir!" Liu Yunshui immediately turned the horse's head and returned to the queue, ready to sprint.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Bayar doesn't know how many warriors have fallen off his horse, he can't take care of it anymore, the cavalry has begun to charge, he just can't take it if he wants to, a distance of more than a hundred steps, he can get close to the Ming army in the blink of an eye, as long as it is entangled with the Ming army, the Ming army's fire # gun will lose its target.

After the Ming gunners fired the last wave of bullets, Liu Yunshui immediately urged the war horse, "Brothers, follow me and kill the Mongolian bandits!" ”

"Kill, kill the robbers!"

Suddenly, the horses moved like a tide, and the cavalry with two general flags on the left and right flanks, under the personal leadership of the chief flag officer and Liu Yunshui, rushed towards the camp of the Mongol cavalry.

Although the Ming army started late and the speed of the horses was not added, the Mongolian cavalry was in confusion just now, and the speed was not much faster.

Li Zicheng personally supervised the battle, Liu Yunshui and the chief flag officers fought bravely, coupled with the advantage in numbers, the Xining cavalry did not frighten, but stabbed straight up against the Mongolian cavalry.

"Boom ......"

The two cavalry, like two sharp swords, pierced each other's core.

Xining soldiers attacked from the left and right sides, directly rushing to the two ribs of the Mongolian cavalry, coupled with the huge advantage in numbers, suddenly divided Mongolia into three groups, although their combat effectiveness is not as good as the Mongolian cavalry, but in their hands are spears such as long weapons, the distance has an advantage, the soldiers just will not assassinate, even if the spear is in the hand, using the speed of the war horse, can also make the other party shot off the horse.

The two groups of cavalry, in a flash, exchanged positions with each other, the Mongols turned to the east, while the Xining army sprinted to the west of the battlefield, and in the middle of the open space were the wounded soldiers and ownerless horses.

He Xiaomi commanded his own troops to wait for him, lest Bayar turn his horse's head and attack Li Zicheng with his life, but Bayar only flashed from the side, and before he eliminated Liu Yunshui's main cavalry force, he did not regard Li Zicheng as a target for the time being.

"Woo ......," Bayard let out a long cry, reining in his horse and adjusting his horse's head to prepare for the next wave of attacks.

"Centurion, we ......"

"Chaolu, what's wrong? Say whatever you want! "Bayar is ready to sprint, at this time, the Ming army has not completely turned around, it is a good opportunity to attack, and there will not be too many such opportunities.

"Centurion, we're less than thirty riders......"

"What?" Bayar was shocked, when he retreated from Triangle City just now, he had clearly counted that there were fifty or sixty horsemen, how could he lose so much in this time?

Although he knew that once the warriors fell off their horses, they would be considered dead on the battlefield, but it was impossible for such a round of rushing to kill with so many casualties, could the warriors be tied up?

Bayar really wants to give Chaolu a whip, how can he extinguish his prestige at a critical moment? He turned around and counted it himself, yes, only twenty-eight horsemen.

"What the hell is going on?"

He remembered that before the cavalry of the two sides hedged, the Ming army used fire # guns, "Damn Han dog, you will use trickery thaumaturgy, and if you have the ability, you will see a real chapter on the cavalry!" ”

The battlefield is unforgiving, and for the weaker side, it is never difficult for the battle to go in the direction they want, what to do?

If the fight continues, even if the Ming army can be defeated, the warriors are afraid that they will die, how to explain to McLigan after they go back? And how to explain to Lin Dan Khan? Damn the dogs, there are so many of them that they never seem to be able to kill them all, but the warriors of the Mongols ...... They are too precious, and one less casualty is one.

Bayar was flustered, and in front of the cavalry of the Ming army, he hesitated again.

"Centurion, withdraw, there are really too many Ming troops......"

Chaolu's words reminded Bayar, at this time the Ming cavalry had completely turned around, and they began to accelerate, Bayar didn't have time to think, he gritted his teeth, "Rush over, don't turn around, withdraw immediately!" ”

"Boom ......"

The two cavalry forces collided again, but the echo of this collision was far less powerful than just now, and the Mongolian cavalry did not dare to collide head-on, but looked for gaps, immediately interspersed the past, and tried not to fight fiercely with the Ming army.

As soon as the soldiers on both sides disengaged, Bayar did not look back, he quickly whipped his horse and shouted: "Quick, withdraw north!" ”

Liu Yunshui grabbed the reins of the horse, just turned the horse's head, and was ready to fight again, but he didn't want Bayar to be far away, he was so anxious that he shouted: "My lord, the Mongols have fled!" ”

"Chase, twenty miles!" Li Zicheng originally planned to only chase ten miles, Liu Yunshui's cavalry did not train for a long time after all, but this time it was to defeat Bayar in the cavalry attack, and the morale was at its peak, so it was temporarily increased by ten miles, so that the brothers could increase their sense of glory and break the myth of the invincibility of the Mongolian cavalry after the Yongle Emperor.

"Yes, sir!" Liu Yunshui took the reins of the horse, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, whipped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and pursued the west without any sluggishness.

Li Zicheng saw that there were still a few wounded soldiers on the battlefield of the cavalry on both sides just now, so he ordered He Xiaomi to bring the wounded soldiers of Xining back to the triangle city, and the wounded Mongolian soldiers were directly cut off their heads.

The soldiers gathered the ownerless war horses, looking at the number, Li Zicheng was startled, there were more than 60 horses, this was the most war horses he had captured.

Zhou Bin had already moved the stones behind the east gate of the Triangle City, opened the city gate and greeted him, bowed his head and knelt down to Li Zicheng and said, "Your Excellency, ......"

Li Zicheng took two steps and helped Zhou Bin up, "Zhou Baihu doesn't need to be polite, let's go to the city first!" Seeing that the Mingguang armor on his left arm was oozing blood, he hurriedly said, "Why don't you bandage the wound?" How's that, out of the way, right? ”

"Don't get in the way, a little injury, thank you for your concern!" Zhou Bin smiled innocently, "Fortunately, the adults came in time, and if it is a moment late, the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to withstand it, the Mongols who are killed by heaven are really strong in combat power......"

Li Zicheng nodded, "How about the casualties of the brothers?" ”

Zhou Bin suddenly had a black line on his face, and he couldn't speak for a long time, at this time Li Zicheng had already entered the city, and went to the head of the East City, his face changed greatly, and the entire East City was in a mess, folded horizontally and vertically, and there were corpses and blood stains everywhere, but there were no wounded soldiers on the head of the city, and they should have been transported away.

Basically, they were all soldiers wearing Mingguang armor, and the corpses of the Mongols were very few, and their corpses were supposed to be outside the city.

"Zhou Bin!" Li Zicheng said sharply: "I only let you hold on for three days, why didn't you withdraw from the waterway earlier?" ”

"My lord......" Zhou Bin's legs were weak, and he knelt in front of Li Zicheng with a "poof", knocked his head on the ground, and said, "My subordinates are ready to withdraw from the ...... this evening."

"Tonight?" Li Zicheng said coldly: "The only thing you can withdraw from is these corpses!" This is the most casualty he has seen since he came to Xining, and even to Daming, which is much more tragic than the last time in Fuqiangbao.

"My lord," Zhou Bin didn't dare to raise his head, so he had to say to Li Zicheng's instep: "The subordinate is the guard of the Triangle City, and naturally has the responsibility of defending the land. Almost all of our cattle and sheep are there...... There are also the fishing teams of the West Sea, and the people who trust us along the coast of the West Sea...... The Mongols have no humanity and they will definitely not let go of our people......"

"Zhou Baihu, get up," Li Zicheng carefully helped Zhou Bin up, so as not to touch his wounds, and said softly: "For the sake of the people, you ...... A real military man! ”

Zhou Bin got up, "Your Excellency, ......"

Li Zicheng whispered: "The brothers died for the people, this is their proper destination, and they are worthy of the food paid by the people!" ”

"My lord, the brothers not only guarded the people, but also fought a lot of Mongols, and the corpses are all under the city!"

"I saw it, the brothers are all good," Li Zicheng stared at the two Mongol corpses on the head of the city, indicating that the Mongols had attacked the city at that time, but in the end they were wiped out by the brothers, you can imagine how fierce the battle was, he muttered: "How about the casualties?" ”

"Lord Hui, my subordinates are incompetent, and my brothers have ...... Eighty-four people have died, except for the firemen and my two own soldiers, and now there are only wounded soldiers! ”

The firefighters of Triangle City were recruited from the common people after the expansion of the army, and they were not trained with the soldiers, in fact, they were ordinary people, unless the bloodshed of the battlefield ignited their anger, they had no combat effectiveness at all.

As for Zhou Bin himself, his left arm was also injured and bleeding, but he was only slightly injured.

It seems that the most ordinary soldiers from the 500th household from the 100 households were either dead or wounded, with a mortality rate of more than forty percent, and the soldiers could still maintain their combat effectiveness, and finally blocked the Mongols from the city, which was extremely rare among the Han soldiers who relied on mutual cooperation.

Li Zicheng set his eyes on the place where they had fought, fortunately, the battlements on the city wall were narrow enough, and the brothers fought almost alone, if they were in the wilderness, with such a mortality rate, the soldiers would have collapsed long ago.

Such a soldier deserves respect.

Li Zicheng waved his hand, "Let's go, go see the brothers." ”

Zhou Bin was worried that Li Zicheng would not be able to eat at noon when he saw the tragic situation of blood stains and wounded soldiers, "My lord, it's noon now, I've eaten first......

"No, I'm going to see the brothers first, otherwise, I'll be restless for lunch!" Li Zicheng turned back to He Xiaomi: "Immediately organize people to pull the wounded horses from outside the city into the city and cook some horse broth for the brothers." ”

Now the soldiers in the city are all wounded soldiers, these physical work can only be done by He Xiaomi's own soldiers, although horse meat is not as good as pork, beef and mutton, it is also meat, soup is also an indispensable nourishing and nutritious product for wounded soldiers, and there are many horse meats, which can fully meet the needs.

"Yes, sir!" He Xiaomi beckoned, divided half of the soldiers, and immediately went outside the city, while his own soldiers with a small flag were closely guarding Li Zicheng's side.
