Bayar looked at the direction where the arrow was flying, and struggled to make an arrow through the woods, but he heard a sound of "", which was obviously shot on a rock, "These Han dogs are so cunning, release arrows and cover the warriors' assault!" ”

The soldiers guarding around Bayar automatically divided three soldiers to assist in exploring the way, and the rest of the soldiers were aimlessly throwing arrows into the forest, because there was no fixed target, the arrows either hit the trunk of a tree, or hit a rock, or silently fell in the grass and thorns, Bayar had the intention to outflank him from both sides, but the forest was too dense for the cavalry to make it at all.

The Mongol cavalry had just stopped firing arrows, and the front appeared in the most undesirable situation, the horse from the slippery slope, it was already extremely difficult, for some reason, two tripwires suddenly appeared on the ground, the front of the horse was blocked, involuntarily knelt in the mud, and then fell out sideways, knocking the soldiers on horseback to the ground.

The men and horses rolled downhill one after another, knocking down the two horses behind them, and the three soldiers rolled on the ground.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

Lin Zhongyu arrows were great, and immediately shot the three soldiers into hedgehogs, and when they looked closely, at least two soldiers were hit by arrows in the head, and they saw that it was not possible, and the howls came and went, and the three of them rolled with arrows to the gentle slope at the corner of the canyon before they stopped.

After walking the following two sections of the slope, Bayar has lost more than ten soldiers, the top section is not only the longest, but also the steepest, the Ming army does not know how many ambushes there are and what means.

Bayar's face had already changed color, and his heart had turned from anger to fear, "Damn Han dog, there is a kind of real knife and real #gun that has done ......"

The forest regained its inherent tranquility, except for Bayar's voice, which echoed, and was blocked by the trees, gradually smashing into pieces until it was gone.

Bayar hesitated, looking at the long steep slope above, he shuddered in his heart, he really didn't know how many traps there were on it, the key was that he hadn't seen the shadow of the Ming army at all until now, and he didn't know how their casualties were.

"Centurion, what's the sound?"

"Voice?" Bayar listened attentively, and sure enough, there was a trace of sound, faintly, intermittently, less than a cup of tea, the sound gradually became clear, and it was extremely thick, like the Yellow River bursting its banks, like an avalanche in the Tianshan Mountains, or a huge mudslide, which was sliding down from the top of the mountain, the speed was getting faster and faster, the volume and weight were increasing, and the energy contained in it was accumulating.

"Not good, it's cavalry." Bayar, who was accustomed to walking horses on the steppe, was so experienced, and after a moment's hesitation, he immediately judged that it was a cavalry, and the "click" of horses' hooves on the ground was already clearly audible.

A pro-soldier suddenly dismounted, knelt on the ground, his right ear was close to the ground, and raised his head suddenly, his forehead and ears were covered with pale yellow mud, "My lord, preliminary judgment, about 100 horses." ”

"Hundred horses?" Bayar knew that it was definitely not his own reinforcements, he had no reinforcements at all, and the cavalry came from the east, it could not be the Mongols, "How can Hangou have so many cavalry?" Could it be that it is the main force of Xiningwei? ”

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of the horse's hooves violently expanded Bayar's heartbeat, and the horses under the seat began to feel uneasy as if they had smelled the message of their kind from afar, shaking their heads and ears, and flicking their thick tails far away.

"My lord, what should I do?"

Bayar was listening intently, and was startled when he heard the words, and his qi and blood expanded rapidly, but he soon came to his senses, "Let's see what the Han dogs are going to do." ”

"My lord, this is a canyon, once the Ming army comes to attack, we can't advance or retreat at all."

"Afraid of what? If we can't advance or retreat, the Ming army can advance? Are they flying sparrow eagles? As soon as Bayar finished speaking, he felt that it was wrong, the Ming army was hiding in the forest, even if it was not a bird, it was similar to a gopher, and the Mongolian cavalry had nothing to do with them, so they unconsciously aimed at the woods in front of them, which were quiet, and there was not even a single bird.

Bayar then remembered that the war horse had brought a strong aura when he ran just now, but there were no birds flying in the forest, and if he had thought about it carefully, he should have known that there must be an ambush of the Ming army, and he scratched his hair with his hand with some annoyance.

Originally, he still wanted to rush out of the canyon before the arrival of the Ming cavalry, and if he fought on flat ground, Bayar believed that even if the Mongolian cavalry was at a numerical disadvantage, with the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry, it would never lose to the Ming army, at least it could be invincible.

But there are ambushes of the Ming army in the canyon, although they are unlikely to be killed from the forest, but the way that hinders the advance of the Mongolian cavalry consumes extremely valuable Mongolian cavalry, perhaps when the Mongolian cavalry retreats, they will secretly make a stumbling block, I don't know how many warriors will bury their bones in the barren mountains.

Bayar was even more hesitant, if he was hesitant to attack just now, now he hesitated to retreat, as the Ming cavalry got closer and closer, he already knew that victory was getting farther and farther away from him, thinking like this, the reins in his hand were not tightened, and the war horse under his crotch was obedient, and immediately adjusted the direction and prepared to retreat.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of horses' hooves on the ground strongly shook the hearts of every Mongolian soldier, who were in the low concave mountains in the canyon, and could not see the Ming army for the time being, but they could fully imagine that the dust raised by the horses as they galloped must have shrouded the low sky.

"What to do? What to do? Bayard kept asking himself in his mind.

Is it to play the majesty of the Mongolian cavalry and rush out of the canyon at any cost, or to retain his strength, and look for an opportunity to give the Ming army a fatal blow in the future?

The key is that his warriors are now trapped in the canyon, unable to get out of the valley for a while, and they don't know what tricks there are in front of them, even if they rush out of the canyon, I don't know how many warriors will be killed or wounded, let alone have to face off against the Ming army.

Bayar firmly believed that the Mongol cavalry would definitely be able to defeat the weak Ming army, even if they had war horses, they still could not be considered cavalry, but the war never had zero casualties, and even the victorious side would have certain losses.

He has already killed and injured more than a dozen warriors, how much more will he lose?

Thinking of the loss, Bayar's heart jerked, as if he had been pricked by someone with an embroidery needle, the number of Mongols was far less than that of the Han people, and if one died, there would be one less, and the Han people seemed to be endless, "These Han dogs, I don't know how they were born!" He cursed inwardly.

A cloud of dust rushed straight into the valley mouth, Bayar had already felt the huge impact of the cavalry, even if they came from the weak Ming cavalry, he stood on the back of a steep slope, the naked eye had already seen the Ming army outside the valley mouth, the first general-like person, like a half black tower sitting on the back of a brown and yellow horse, the bright light armor in the sunlight glowed black and dark purple, a long tasseled iron spear in his hand, the tassel was up to a foot, bright red as blood, on both sides of him, the soldiers were also the same attire, because of the obstruction of the trees, Only half of the red tassels could be seen.

"The Han dog of the horse is so rich, it is all Mingguang armor!" Bayar scolded, he was really helpless, and looking at these Mongol warriors, who only had two layers of leather armor, his eyes flashed with greed, but they were extinguished in an instant.

"Ignition!" Liu Yunshui, the general of the Ming army like a black tower, shouted loudly, and the soldiers on both sides immediately lit the oilcloth on the arrow and placed it on the bowstring, and the arrow pointed to Bayar's position.

Taniguchi was too small, and Bayar could only see the soldiers on both sides of Liu Yunshui, but he still felt the firelight strongly through the trees.

Liu Yunshui also took the rocket, squinted his eyes, and was aiming.

"Can the soft bow of the Ming army shoot so far?" Bayar was full of doubts, but in an instant, he realized that there might be gunpowder in the canyon, and he was shocked for a while, and shouted urgently: "Retreat, retreat quickly, withdraw the army!" ”

The canyon could only accommodate one person and one horseman, and at this time the Mongol cavalry turned around and looked quite crowded, even if the cavalry was well-trained, some soldiers were knocked over and fell to the ground.

The Mongol cavalry was swift, whether it was a battlefield attack or a defeated retreat, but at this time, the cavalry obviously had no time to take care of their companions, they were only cavalry, not guards, and several soldiers were knocked off their horses and rolled down the slope.

"Haha......" Liu Yunshui looked up to the sky and laughed, "These Mongolian soldiers, as soon as they saw Lao Tzu, they were scared to the ground, haha, enjoyable, if the canyon wasn't too narrow, Lao Tzu would definitely chase after them, at least leave them a few war horses, the Mongolian dog thieves who killed the gods......"

"If it weren't for the fact that the canyon was too narrow, the Mongols probably wouldn't have retreated so quickly." Li Zicheng saw Liu Yun's sailor dancing, and immediately rushed over and poured a scoop of cold water.

"Hehe, how many Mongols died?" Liu Yunshui didn't look restrained, and whipped his war horse out of anger, "My lord, should we chase after him?" ”

"The Mongols are not dead, they are likely to go and return, and they should not be taken lightly." Li Zicheng naturally knew the combat effectiveness of his cavalry, if he hadn't taken advantage of the terrain, if he let the speed of the Mongolian cavalry rush up, even if he had an advantage in numbers, the victory would not have belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

"My lord, just let them go? Wouldn't I get nothing? Liu Yunshui seemed unwilling, and it wasn't until Li Zicheng glared at him fiercely that he stepped aside stupidly.

Li Zicheng released his cavalry to track down the whereabouts of the Mongols, and the army camped near the mouth of the valley.

It was getting late, the rangers returned, and the Mongols had already gone far after leaving the gorge.

Li Zicheng frowned slightly, could it be that the Mongols really retreated? According to the reports of the soldiers who were originally ambushed in the canyon, the Mongols did not suffer a few casualties, so they could not afford this loss?

What he didn't know was that the main cavalry of the Chahar Department was still north and west of the Hetao, and it was only a part of them that had returned to the south of the Qilian Mountains, and they were basically herdsmen with relatively weak combat effectiveness who needed special care, and the strong men among them were basically killed and injured in the battle with the Jurchens.

By the end of the next day, together with Wang Anping's rangers, nine groups of rangers had reported one after another, and the Mongols had indeed withdrawn.

Liu Yunshui was still unsatisfied, "My lord, the Mongols just went back?" I didn't see how strong they were. ”

Li Zicheng stroked his chin and paced back and forth in the big tent, there were only two possibilities for the Mongols to retreat, one was that their troops were insufficient, and they had psychologically admitted that the Ming had reoccupied the Bayan Gorge, and the other possibility was to go back and gather more cavalry and prepare to launch the next round of attacks.

Based on Li Zicheng's understanding of the Mongols, they grew up in the bloody wind when they were young, and they would never give up so easily, and they had to be careful to do it themselves.

"Yunshui, we just blocked the Mongols from going south, and the war has just begun."

"My lord, what do we do now? Is it to withdraw to Zhenhai Fort? "Liu Yunshui's cavalry is training vigorously, and he doesn't want to nest in the canyon and face the sun every day.

"Go back? Don't worry," Li Zicheng smiled slightly, with a rare look of greed on his face, "Before we go back, let's do the big ticket first!" ”
