Five days later, Fang Yuan and Zhao Quanzhong, the commander of the cavalry battalion, led 6,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry and 500 artillery battalions from Huzhou Mansion to the south, forcibly stationed in Qiantangwei in Hangzhou Prefecture, and drove all the Ming troops belonging to Qiantangwei to Hangzhou City.

As soon as Fang Yuan entered Qiantangwei, he received a report from the front army that the soldiers of the infantry battalion who had retreated from Linshanwei and Guanhaiwei were intercepted by the overwhelming superior forces of the 20,000 Zheng army halfway, and nearly half of them were killed or wounded. Of the 2,000 sergeants who were able to escape back to Qiantangwei, only more than 1,100.

Zheng Sen defeated 2,000 Xuanjia sergeants, and 30,000 vanguard troops also stationed in Hangzhou Mansion's Hangzhou Wei, Hangzhou Qianwei, and Hangzhou Right Guard. The three guards formed a horn trend with each other, and the Qiantang Wei stationed in Fang Yuan became a four-legged momentum.

The 70,000 sergeants of the Zheng family's rear team were led by Zheng Zhilong, with Jinhuawei in Jinhua Mansion as the base camp, and their troops were stationed in Linshanwei, Shaoxingwei, Yanzhouwei and other military strongholds to support the battlefield in Hangzhou.

At this point, the main forces of both sides have advanced to the main battlefield scheduled this time, Hangzhou Mansion.

Zheng Sen had never confronted the main force of the Xuanjia Army head-on, and he annihilated the soldiers of the 2,000-step battalion, and he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

After the Zheng army entered the Hangzhou Mansion, Zheng Sen immediately sent the 3,000 Zheng troops of the Hangzhou Wei north to the Huzhou Mansion to attack Fang Yuan's rear.

Zheng Sen personally led 8,000 elite Zheng troops, and then ordered Zhou Quanbin, the young general of the Hangzhou avant-garde, to send 5,000 Zheng troops to advance to Qiantang Wei in two ways, preparing to encircle Qiantang Wei and pull out the nails that this Xuanjia army stretched into Hangzhou Mansion.

The elite led by Zheng Sen himself consisted of 3,000 light cavalry and 5,000 ironclad heavy infantry. 5,000 ironclad heavy infantry is equipped with long-range firearms, and in close combat it is a sword, wearing iron armor, holding a large shield, and a tiger guard, which is the main force of the Zheng army's field battle, and the vanguard general is Gan Hui, the famous first fierce general in Fujian.

After traveling for a long time, he met the three thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry led by Fang Yuan.

Seeing that Zheng Sen's main force had arrived, Fang Yuan immediately ordered Zhao Quanzhong's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to set up a formation and prepare for battle.

The Zheng army also set up a glaive formation, with a strict infantry formation, blocking the charge of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

Zhao Quanzhong issued a military order, and a thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry did not go to the Zheng family's infantry formation head-on, but divided into left and right wings, bypassing from the flanks, and once the Zheng army's formation was negligent, they immediately broke into the formation.

This is also the most advantageous tactics for cavalry against infantry phalanxes. The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry has an advantage that other cavalry does not have, that is, it is also equipped with the powerful Xuanjia Divine Gun.

"Crackle!"

The black-armored iron cavalry that circled the two flanks fired a dense burst of gunfire, and the target was not the shield men holding shields in the front row, but the dozens of musketeers in the infantry formation.

Zheng Sen's pro-army was the elite of the field, and although there was a commotion, the remaining firecrackers and archers began to organize a counterattack, and because of the long range, it was not enough to cause great damage to the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

Zhao Quanzhong led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to circle around the Zheng army's formation twice, and killed from the flank to the rear flank, but there was still no chance to rush into the formation, so he could only continue to harass and wait for an opportunity to break through.

Fang Yuan saw that Zhao Quanzhong and his party still had no chance to break through, and were waiting for fighters, and Zheng Jun's formation suddenly opened a gap, and at least three thousand Zheng Jun's Tiger Ben guards actually began to charge towards Fang Yuan's main formation.

These three thousand tiger guards, in groups of three, two with big shields and one with long knives, steadily advanced towards Fang Yuan's main formation.

Fang Yuan immediately ordered a thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry to attack the attacking Zheng army, leaving only a thousand iron cavalry to guard the main formation, and sounded the horn of the enemy's attack, reminding Zhao Quanzhong, who was waiting for an opportunity to break the formation.

Zhao Quanzhong heard the military horn, and immediately commanded the Xuanjia iron cavalry to start retreating, preparing to attack the Zheng army's heavy infantry in front and rear, but seeing that the Zheng army's formation changed, two teams of 2,000 heavy infantry phalanxes stopped Zhao Quanzhong's 1,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry and sniped his retreat.

Zhao Quanzhong was shocked when he saw this, and immediately ordered the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to attack the Zheng army's heavy infantry phalanx that came to snipe.

The three-person formation of the Zheng family's tiger guards was born from Qi Jiguang's Mandarin Duck Formation, which was specially designed to restrain the cavalry phalanx.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry that charged was blocked by two big shields, and then the big Japanese swordsman behind the two slashed down, cutting down the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and the people and horses.

On the battlefield, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry fought with the Zheng family's Tiger Ben Guards, and they were still slightly defeated, and the losses exceeded the Zheng family's heavy infantry phalanx.

Fang Yuan's horse was pacing back and forth in the main army formation, and if he continued to fight at such a loss, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry would inevitably suffer heavy losses, and he could only choose to retreat to avoid the battle.

After watching the battle for a long time, Fang Yuan finally found a way to defeat this heavy infantry army, that is, the fighting style of the authentic nomads, no longer using the devastating frontal assault that he was used to before, but taking advantage of the poor mobility of the heavy infantry and the range advantage of his own firearms and bows and arrows, to disrupt the formation of the heavy infantry phalanx with rapid fire.

He immediately sounded the trumpet to stop the strong attack and turn to guerrilla warfare, and then sent 800 cavalry troops to bypass the attacking heavy infantry phalanx, harass the enemy with long-range firearms, bows and arrows, and carried out guerrilla warfare.

Zhao Quanzhong, as well as the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry Qianhu who attacked, got the military order, and began to rely on the Xuanjia Army's advantages in firearms and bows and arrows, and fought and retreated, and fought with the heavy infantry of the Zheng Army The enemy advanced and I retreated, and the enemy retreated and I advanced.

After Fang Yuan's major strategic adjustment, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry gradually turned the downwind into the upper hand and controlled the situation on the battlefield.

If the Zheng family's heavy infantry team pursued, it was difficult to maintain a three-in-one formation, and they were killed by the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry; If you don't pursue, you can only sit back and wait to be shot one by one by fire, bow and arrow.

When Fang Yuan was watching the battle, the cavalry came to report that a 2,000-strong Zheng family cavalry had outflanked from both flanks and attacked Fang Yuan's main formation.

Fang Yuan was slightly startled when he heard this, and suddenly realized, Zheng Sen had played so many false tricks, the so-called heavy infantry attack, it was just a trick to lure the enemy, and he wanted to lure out the cavalry guarding Fang Yuan's array, the actual move was this raiding Zheng family cavalry, with only one purpose, that is, to break through the formation and capture Fang Yuan alive.

"This Zheng Sen, if he makes a strong move, he is as strong as a tiger!"

Fang Yuan sighed, raised his binoculars, and looked at the cavalry team of the Zheng family's charge, the leading one, wearing the banner of the word 'Gan', carrying a Japanese broadsword, carrying a large shield that could resist bows, arrows and bullets on his shoulder, holding a firearm in both hands, galloped over.

This person is a first-class fierce general at first sight, no less than Chigutai, needless to say, it is the first fierce general of the Zheng family - Gan Hui is undoubted.

Fang Yuan ordered the remaining two hundred Xuanjia iron horsemen to line up, load their firearms, and prepare to wait for the enemy.

"Crackle!"

The cavalry of the Zheng family came in an instant, but they were sniped by rows of dense fire from the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and by the time they rushed closer, they had already killed at least hundreds of people.

The cavalry on both sides finally began hand-to-hand combat!

More than 1,000 Zheng family cavalry surrounded Fang Yuan and two hundred Xuanjia iron cavalry in the center, and completed their all-out attack and killing in one battle, as long as they could kill Fang Yuan, it would be a great success.

Gan Hui, the leading general of the Zheng family, was even more armed with a big knife, slashing and killing with all his might, killing with horse blood and invincible.

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry of this escort, all wearing explosion-proof equipment, made a Xuanjia Divine Gun with a long bayonet, and surpassed the Zheng cavalry that raided in both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Gan Hui rose up to kill, and even jumped up with a knife, slashing a Xuanjia sergeant who was defending the position in front of him, he was infinitely powerful, his hand was up and down, and he slashed in front of him, and directly cut down the sergeant off the war horse. Despite the resistance of the explosion-proof helmet, the head was still broken alive and killed instantly.

Gan Hui is extremely brave, Fang Yuan raised his gun to shoot at him, but Gan Hui looked at him squarely, blocked with a shield, although the bullet barely penetrated the shield, but failed to cause damage to Gan Hui, and was even directly smashed off the horse by Gan Hui with a shield, trampled to death.

The battle situation was already extremely unfavorable for the other party, Fang Yuan could only use the last killer move, ordering the five personal soldiers under his command to mix the big cigarette cakes bought on Taobao in advance for filming, and then mixed them with tear gas and pepper spray, all of them into small sacks, stuffed with cotton cloth, lit them with alcohol, and threw them directly into the Zheng army array that was attacking on the periphery.

The cotton cloth ignited the alcohol, causing the large smoke cake to emit bursts of smoke, which was mixed with tear gas and pepper spray, and spread in all directions.

The Zheng army, who was attacking in the front row, was smoked by the smoke, could not see anything, and kept vomiting, so he was stabbed to death by the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry with a bayonet, and then loaded the prepared bullets, and the intensive gunfire rang out, and countless Zheng cavalry fell off their horses.

"Miasma!"

"They'll make Gu Miasma!"

"It's a miasma!"

The cavalry of the Zheng army had never seen this kind of demon art, and they were suddenly attacked, and they thought that it was a miasma that often appeared in the jungles of southern Fujian, so they were so frightened that they rode their horses back, and retreated at least one or two hundred steps away to avoid this terrible, perhaps fatal, 'demon miasma'.

Only the fierce general Gan Hui was not afraid of death, not only did not retreat, but with more than 100 personal soldiers, he continued to rush Fang Yuan's main formation.

After another burst of shooting, half of Gan Hui's personal soldiers were killed and wounded, and Gan Hui also overturned the last layer of guards in front of Fang Yuan with a big knife, and looked at the commander Fang Yuan in the formation, brandishing a big knife and slashing at it, only five zhang away from Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan raised the Xuanjia Divine Weapon and shot at Gan Hui, but was blocked by Gan Hui with the shield in his left hand.

Gan Hui saw that Fang Yuan's shot was useless, so he hurriedly threw away his shield, held a big sword in both hands, and slashed at Fang Yuan in the air, hoping to kill Fang Yuan with one sword.

At the moment of life and death, Fang Yuan took two steps back suddenly, and the two guards on his side held knives to block desperately, and forcibly blocked Gan Huishi's earth-shattering knife, and their arms were dislocated by Qi Qizhen.

As soon as the two of them blocked slightly, Fang Yuan also found an opportunity to load the bullet and shoot again, and shot out.

Gan Hui had no shield protection, and in a hurry, he avoided the vital point, and the bullet hit Gan Hui's arm.

Gan Hui was shot in the arm, blood flowed, and the only opportunity to kill Fang Yuan was fleeting, and the besieging Xuanjia sergeant isolated Gan Hui and Fang Yuan again, and a burst of gunfire rang out, and Gan Hui's own soldiers with the charge were dead and wounded.

There were only a dozen or so soldiers left under Gan Hui's command, and they immediately covered Gan Hui and began to retreat, joining up with most of the Zheng army's cavalry.

Gan Hui's desperate blow was still in vain, and the situation on the battlefield was reversed again, and Zhao Quanzhong's 1,000 iron cavalry had dispersed the formation of the Zheng army's heavy infantry phalanx, killing the Zheng army was defeated and retreating. And the one and two thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry who attacked also repelled the attacking three thousand Zheng army tiger guards.

Zheng Sen saw that the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry had once again grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and the fierce general Gan Hui was also wounded and returned. If the battle continues, the 8,000 elite Zheng army is estimated to suffer heavy casualties, and in desperation, the Zheng army, which has attacked, can only order the attacking Zheng army to return to the division, form a formation and slowly retreat.

The first encounter between Fang Yuan and Zheng Sen, the two youngest commanders of the Ming Dynasty, was temporarily silenced.

Fang Yuan counted the casualties, and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry lost eight or nine hundred people, and killed at least two thousand or more of the Zheng army, which was a small victory. In this battle, Gan Hui, the first fierce general of the Zheng family, was blocking left and right, and his courage was abnormal, Fang Yuan remembered the crisis of nine deaths and his life before, and he still had palpitations in his heart, and rewarded the Xuanjia sergeant who died and was seriously injured for defending himself with thirty taels of silver.
