After the spear in his hand broke on the body of a Jurchen general, Cao Bianjiao did not hesitate to let go and bow his head, trying to dodge the iron whip thrown at him by the other party. If it weren't for such a close formation, Cao Bianjiao wouldn't have had to be so tough with the other party.

Of course, if it weren't for this formation, the Ming army would not be able to easily break through the cavalry formation of Houjin and force the Jurchen generals on the opposite side to rush up and fight with themselves.

The cavalry's dense formation charge, also named the wall charge tactic by His Majesty, in which the role of individual horsemanship and martial arts is minimized, and the discipline and organization of the soldiers are the key to this tactic. Because in the process of such a charge, the cavalry in the team basically has no possibility of dodging the attack, and can only knock down the opposite cavalry before they fall.

Each cavalry is like a part of a machine, and when one cavalry falls, another cavalry immediately takes his place, making the whole cavalry team like a beast, constantly rushing forward.

After a long period of training and a gradual non-commissioned officer system, the officers and men of the 8th Cavalry Division endured the losses in the first engagement, and the reward they received was to defeat the command center of this unit and easily split the 2,000 Mongol cavalry led by Chayuka.

When the enemy army in front of him began to gradually thin out, Cao Bianjiao's nervousness also slowly eased, although he grew up with Cao Wenzhao since he was a child, but it was the first time to independently command such a large-scale battle, but it seems that the current start is not bad, he just put his mind at ease, and felt a faint pain in his left shoulder, which is the sequelae of the iron whip just grazed his shoulder.

Mang Gurtai, who was following Cha Yuka's team, didn't expect that Cha Yuka's team would be defeated so quickly, but when his vision was blocked, he could only judge that the Ming army led by Cao Bianjiao was the core of today's Ming and Mongolian coalition forces, and the unified hood and armor of the Eighth Cavalry Division also provided more than half of the reason for Mang Gurtai's judgment.

Without hesitation, Mang Gurtai led his troops towards the Eighth Cavalry Division, which had just broken through the Chayukasuo Division, trying to stop the cavalry before it could accelerate again. Cao Bianjiao looked at the Houjin cavalry that was rushing towards him, and knew that it was too late to reorganize the team at this moment.

He simply drew his sword and raised it high, and while rushing towards the cavalry led by Mang Gurtai without hesitation, he opened his mouth and shouted: "For the motherland, the Eighth Cavalry Division, advance!" ”

As soon as they broke through a Houjin army, they met the second Houjin cavalry brigade, and the officers and men of the Eighth Cavalry Division were still a little discouraged. However, when they fought with the Houjin army just now, everyone seemed to have won without much effort, which made the soldiers of the Eighth Cavalry Division inevitably a little proud, and at this moment, when they heard the slogan shouted by Cao Bianjiao at the front of the team, the courage of these soldiers was aroused.

One cavalryman after another raised his weapons and shouted: "For the Motherland." "For the sake of the family." "For my emperor." … and so on, and once again mustered up the courage to charge the enemy troops.

At the beginning, Mang Gurtai didn't hear what these Ming soldiers shouted clearly, and when he heard the slogans of the Ming army clearly, his face suddenly became ugly after watching these Ming army knights sacrifice their lives and forget to die and collide with their own cavalry and fall off their horses. The scene in front of him couldn't help but remind him of the Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers on the edge of the Hunhe River back then.

It was the heaviest battle since the Jurchen army, the two red flags, the two white flags, and the two yellow flags were all defeated by those Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers, and in the end they relied on the Jurchen numerical advantage and the artillery of the Ming army who surrendered to Shenyang, so that they finally annihilated those Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers who did not retreat.

Since that bloody battle, Mang Gurtai has never seen such a brave army in China. However, such a cavalry appeared in front of him today, which made Mang Gurtai forget about this war for a while, and almost subconsciously mobilized all the forces around him to rush forward.

There was only one thought in his mind, he must annihilate this cavalry here, and he must not let the Ming have such a brave army, otherwise Houjin will usher in the most terrible nightmare.

Mang Gurtai's command almost used all the available troops around him, and the force of the soldiers of the Blue Banner is indeed worthy of the existence of the two white flags, even if it is almost a collision between the head of the horse and the head of the horse, the confrontation of one life for one life, no one of the soldiers of the Blue Flag has taken a step back.

The Eighth Cavalry Division led by Cao Bianjiao had already rushed and killed for a while, so the formation was a little messy, and the horse speed was not fast enough. Under the hedging interception of the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner, the Eighth Cavalry Division finally stopped. Once the speed is lost, the cavalry's individual combat ability begins to play a role, if it is not for the Ming army to always maintain a squad fight, it is estimated that they will be annihilated by the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner and the Mongolian cavalry soon after they are forced to stop.

After watching the Ming cavalry shouting slogans and charging fall for nearly half, Mang Gurtai's face finally had some smiles, but at the same time of smiling, he also felt pain, because when Zhenglanqi intercepted these Ming cavalry, the fallen soldiers did not seem to have to be much less than the Ming army.

Just as Mang Gurtai was about to step forward with the three Niu Lu around him and try to deal with this Ming army, many cavalrymen, including him, heard a rumbling sound of horses' hooves. Mang Gurtai looked south knowing that something was wrong, and saw thousands of fully armored Mongol cavalry charging towards them.

Seeing these Mongol cavalry rushing over, Mang Gurtai knew that the battle had been lost. With the few men and horses around him, it is obvious that he can't stop these Chahar cavalry. Mang Gurtai, who had fought many times with the Chahar Ministry, recognized the origin of these cavalry at first sight, and also correctly assessed the combat effectiveness of these cavalry.

If he hadn't sent out the main force of the Zhenglan Banner around him just now, then combined with the Engdel Division, which had already gained the upper hand, he would probably be able to block this big tent soldier of the Chahar Division. Now, it would be nice to be able to retreat slowly.

Mang Gurtai was trying to summon the more intact Engdel's troops to come forward and block the Chahar cavalry, so that he could withdraw the men and horses of the Blue Banner from the battle.

However, his men had changed their faces and clutched the reins of his horse's head, trying to turn his mount around, and desperately shouting something to the west.

Mang Gurtai looked sideways, but found that a cavalry team of the Ming army had completely penetrated the team of the forehead Sonomu Duling, and was rushing towards the middle road, as if he wanted to rescue the Ming cavalry team besieged by him.

Mang Gurtai and the 2 or 3 hundred horsemen around him were blocking the road of the Ming cavalry's charge, looking at the Ming cavalry's urging to speed up the horse, Mang Gurtai knew that if they wanted to block the charge of the Ming cavalry, it was almost the end of the entire army.

Without hesitation, Mang Gurtai regained the reins, quickly turned his horse's head and fled northwest. Obviously, unlike his previous performance, this post-gold Sanbeile still values his life very much.

When the big tent soldiers led by Tu Taiji rushed to the battlefield in the middle of the melee, they saw a small team of men and horses with the banner of the blue flag suddenly turn around and flee from a distance, and then the Houjin army that was still fighting in the middle battlefield also began to flee one by one.

Suddenly shouted to his subordinates with great joy: "Speed up, speed up, the Jurchens are starting to flee, our army is victorious..."

When Yuan Chonghuan and Cao Wenzhao rushed to Chongzhen's tent to report the incredible victory to the emperor, Zhu Youzhen was talking to the three young representatives of the Jin Chamber of Commerce.

After listening to the news of the victory, Chongzhen, who was sitting at the long table, did not feel much excitement, but turned his head to look at the map and said: "In this way, there will be no obstacle to the plan to build a railway network west of Inner Mongolia."

From the west of the Hunshandak Sandy Land to the Hexi Corridor, the two fertile lands of the Yellow River, the West and East Loops, are connected to the interior by railway, which can not only change Shaanxi from a border fortress into a hinterland, but also reduce the pressure on Shaanxi's border defense.

It is indeed a very good plan to bring the Mongolian tribes in this area under the rule of the Ming Dynasty and eliminate the hidden danger of the Mongolian tribes rebelling against the Ming Dynasty.

In principle, I support this plan, but I will not agree to the construction of this railway network by the Jin Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, the equity of this railway network is 25% owned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the imperial court, Shaanxi businessmen can subscribe for 20% of the equity, and the remaining 55% of the equity is preferentially subscribed by the Jin Chamber of Commerce..."

Chang Haochun was a little disappointed just now, but when he heard that the emperor had left 55% of the equity in the Chamber of Commerce, his eyebrows suddenly danced again.

Before he could say anything, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but interrupt the emperor's words and said, "Your Majesty, it's not too late to talk about this road construction in the future." Now that the Houjin army has been defeated, it is the time when our army is attacking in one go and encircling and annihilating the Houjin-Mongol coalition army, and I also ask Your Majesty to convene a military meeting to discuss how to leave the three big beylers on the opposite side. ”

Zhu Youzhen, who was interrupted from his train of thought, was not in a hurry, he first signaled Chang Haochun and the other three merchant representatives to leave, and then asked Yuan Chonghuan and Cao Wenzhao: "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly replied: "The casualties of the soldiers on the left and right flanks of Mongolia are not large, and the battle losses are about 10%. However, the combat attrition of our army's Eighth Cavalry Division exceeded 60%, and the division commander Cao Bianjiao was wounded and fell off his horse and was still in a coma. The casualties of the Ninth Cavalry Division have also exceeded 30%, and I am afraid that it will not be able to go to the battlefield in a short time..."

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't wait to grab the words and said: "But we still have the first and seventh cavalry divisions and the first guards division of the three cavalry units that have not been used, and the two divisions of the field Sixth Army can also be mobilized immediately, plus those cavalry units of the Mongolian tribes, we still have more than 40,000 troops that can be used for the attack immediately." ”

Zhu Youzhen asked unhurriedly: "What about the other side?" Even if the Houjin lost more than 10,000 cavalry, most of them were just Mongols and a positive blue banner. Now there are at least nearly 30,000 available troops on the opposite side, plus the three banners of the Yellow Flag, the Red Flag, and the White Flag as the core, it can be said that the main force is still there. Is Governor Yuan really so sure that he can use these more than 40,000 troops to encircle and annihilate the 30,000 troops on the opposite side? What's more, our team has just spread out, how can it be so easy to take it back. ”
