Chapter 123: Pursuit and Counter-Pursuit

Xiong Tingbi led the cavalry slowly across the ice, and the infantry taught by Zhao was completely able to keep up with the pace of the cavalry. Once on land, the cavalry could begin to accelerate. Xiong Tingbi said to Zhao Shujiao: "I will chase thirty miles, and then rest, the distance between us is always kept within thirty miles, so that we can support at any time." ”

Zhao Shu taught: "Chief of Staff, thirty miles is too far, we have to walk for more than an hour, it is better to keep twenty miles." ”

Xiong Tingbi thought for a moment and said: "It's okay, six hundred troops are indeed too few, but even if I engage Jiannu, I will maintain the ability to retreat at any time, and I will not rush into the Jiannu array." ”

Xiong Tingbi led the cavalry first, and when he chased Ning Yuanwei, he could already see the rear team of the Houjin soldiers in the distance. Xiong Tingbi first asked people to search in Ningyuan City, and after confirming that there were no Houjin soldiers in ambush, he followed the Houjin army about a hundred steps and began to slowly set fire.

The Houjin soldiers followed the advance, the Houjin soldiers stopped moving, the cavalry did not move, the Houjin soldiers sent a team of cavalry to counterattack, Xiong Tingbi shot down a Houjin soldier in front of him with an arrow, turned around and fled.

The Guards fired their guns once and then turned and fled, not looking behind them at all. After Jin Bing chased for a while, he saw that there was no way, so he had to retreat.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi slowly approached with the guards. For this kraft candy that can't be shaken off, Huang Taiji is also very annoyed. He personally led a group of cavalry to the left flank of the front, while the rest of the Houjin soldiers continued to advance.

Xiong Tingbi was proud of his own methods, hoping to bite the Houjin army to the death, so that the Guards infantry brigade behind could catch up and leave some of the Houjin soldiers behind. So he has been taking the method of wandering and chased to Baitayu Fort.

The Houjin soldiers stopped here, and Du Du rushed towards Xiong Tingbi's cavalry with the armor soldiers inlaid with white flags. Xiong Tingbi still used the old method, fought and retreated, and kept a distance from the Houjin soldiers. At this time, a road of soldiers and horses rushed out from the right side of the front, just blocking the way back of the guards.

Huang Taiji stepped forward and laughed: "Xiong Man, you can't escape now." ”

Xiong Tingbi also laughed and said: "Sibeile, we have only been separated on Juehua Island for a short time, and I didn't expect to meet here again, it seems that we are really destined." ”

Huang Taiji said: "Since there is fate, it is better to invite Xiong Jingluo to our Shenyang as a guest, we will definitely do our best to entertain you as a landlord." ”

Xiong Tingbi said: "I will go to Shenyang, but not today." I'll be coming to Shenyang later this year, and hopefully I'll be able to hunt with Sibeile then. ”

Huang Taiji smiled: "It's better to meet by chance, this time you must invite Jingluo to visit Shenyang, I think you don't have to shirk it." ”

Xiong Tingbi was anxious, but he could only pretend to be calm and drag time with him: "Sibeile, if I am willing to go to Shenyang with you, are you willing to let my entourage leave?" ”

Huang Taiji smiled happily: "What Xiong Jingluo said, we Zhushen will not serve people, it is better for your entourage to serve you, otherwise there is a place of poor service, but it is my sin." ”

Xiong Tingbi said: "Sibeile must see Jianzhou and Daming fighting each other, okay?" ”

Huang Taiji pursed the corners of his lips, thinking to himself, aren't we still evil? He smiled and said: "Jianzhou is a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty can hand over Liaodong to us for governance, why should it make trouble?" I invited Xiong Jinglu to Shenyang to make friends between the two countries. ”

Xiong Tingbi said solemnly: "Since Sibeile also knows that Jianzhou is a domain of the Ming Dynasty, how can there be two countries. ”

Huang Taiji said: "The Ming Dynasty is extremely unfair to Jianzhou, so my father Khan will rebel against the Ming Dynasty and call himself Khan." But my Houjin has always been in the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the emperor can punish the traitors and allow me to build a state and return to the Ming Dynasty. In the future, everyone will be a family. ”

Xiong Tingbi snorted coldly and stopped making a sound. Huang Taiji said again: "Xiong Jingluo, please." ”

Xiong Tingbi said: "Since Sibeile doesn't want to live in peace, then let's see the real chapter on horseback." After speaking, he raised his bow and aimed it at Huang Taiji, and the cavalry behind him all raised their fire guns, and the guns were facing the Houjin soldiers.

Huang Taiji retreated quickly, and the Houjin soldiers also held bows and arrows and shot at the cavalry of the Guards. The sound of fire guns sounded, and the horses of the Houjin army were frightened and jumped up, and the Houjin army was suddenly in chaos.

Xiong Tingbi urged the horse forward, shot an arrow to kill the Houjin soldiers who were blocking the way, collected his bow and picked up a long knife and shouted: "Be loyal to the Death Festival, just today, rush with me." ”

Bows and arrows are of little use when charging on horseback, while the Guards' musket bayonets can be easily used as long spears, and the bayonets are sharp and can be slashed horizontally, and the butt of the rifle can also be picked up as a blunt weapon, so the Guards have no obvious disadvantage in fighting with the Houjin soldiers.

Of course, the relatively small number of people is the biggest problem of the Ming army, and Huang Taiji also understood this, and shouted in the back: "Don't push too much, take your time, and let them taste the treatment we received on Juehua Island." ”

The two sides fought lively, but not many people fell off the horse, mainly because both sides were not very good at attacking immediately. The most common mode of combat used by the Later Jin army was to advance on horseback and then dismount and fight on foot. And the Guards were infantry, not to mention.

However, the cavalry skills of the Guards were indeed worse than those of the Houjin Army, and some of the Guards fell off their horses during the fight, and the infantry who were lucky enough not to be injured landed with firearms and felt that it was easier to fight than on horses.

At this time, Zhao Shujiao was only two miles away from the battle place between the two armies, and after the scout reported the news that Xiong Tingbi was besieged, Zhao Shujiao was shocked into a cold sweat and ordered the team to run forward quickly to rescue the cavalry.

When Xiong Tingbi's 600 cavalry and nearly 400 men insisted on fighting on horseback, Zhao Shujiao finally arrived. Huang Taiji said "bad luck" and immediately organized the Houjin army to retreat.

Xiong Tingbi was reluctant at this time, and shouted: "Hold them back, don't let Huang Taiji run away." He always felt that Huang Taiji was just one of the four great Baylors of the Houjin, but the emperor had explained to the Guards that if he could kill or capture Huang Taiji, the credit could be compared to killing Nurhachi, Nurhachi was obviously not so easy to kill, so the Guards wanted to kill Huang Taiji the most.

After Zhao led the infantry to join the battlefield, the Houjin soldiers could no longer resist it, and they all fled quickly after the emperor's horse. It was a joke for the infantry to chase the cavalry, so Xiong Tingbi could only harass behind the Houjin cavalry and slow them down, trying to make more gains for the Guards infantry.

Huang Taiji didn't want to fight with the large army of the Guards anymore, so he fled quickly, and after Xiong Tingbi was ambushed, the cavalry was small and tired, and he didn't dare to go too far from the Guards infantry, so he could only watch the Houjin soldiers flee far away.
