Seeing that the Ming army was about to achieve the final victory, all the Houjin Tartars were wiped out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But at this moment, a great earthquake trembled, and shouts were like thunder, coming from the north of the fence mountain.

The Ming scouts looked over from the hillside, were taken aback, and shouted to this side: "Tartar reinforcements are coming, Tartar reinforcements are coming!" ā€

Zhang Zhiqi happened to be standing high on the hillside, and when he saw it, sure enough, the blue Sifang Dragon Flag on the plain in the distance was waving in the wind, and thousands of horses roared over, and it was less than five hundred steps away from here.

Sure enough, reinforcements from the Tartars arrived.

At this time, due to the addition of Yan Nantian, the ghost room Yoshinobu had been forced to retreat by Sun Yueling and the others, and the Jin army couldn't resist it after seeing it, and after a false sword, he turned his horse and left, no longer entangled with Sun Yueling.

Sun Yueling didn't intend to pursue, and shouted at the herald who told him, "Who is coming, and how many people are coming?" ā€

The herald said: "It's the Blue Banner cavalry, the number is at least three thousand, and it should be led by the banner lord Mang Gurtai!" ā€

Sun Yueling took a deep breath, Mang Gurtai is known as the first "Baturu" in Houjin, it is said that he is the strongest general in Houjin, and the Zhenglan Banner he led is also the most capable of Houjin, otherwise Huang Taiji will not rest assured that the Zhenglan Banner will be sent to Tashan to protect grain.

But how can he be afraid, now that the first fierce general of the Guanning Army, Man Gui, is under his command, he wants to see whether it is the first general of the Houjin Dynasty who is powerful, or the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Yueling hurriedly ordered the Mangui to go to meet Mang Gurtai, and the cavalry of Wu Xiang responded to Mangui from the right flank, so as to block the impact of Mang Gurtai's cavalry.

As long as Man Gui and Wu Xiang can drag Mang Gurtai down, then he and Sun Zushou can go all out to deal with the Tartar vanguard in front of them and wipe them all out.

As soon as the military order was given, Man Gui took the cavalry of his department and ran up to the fence mountain without saying a word, and headed towards the cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner. After Wu Xiang received the order, he delayed a little, and finally saw Man Gui rushing forward without stopping, so he ordered his subordinates to follow closely and run along the right side of Man Gui's cavalry.

This fence mountain is said to be a mountain, in fact, it is just a small hillside, the height is less than eight zhang, there are several criss-crossing roads on the hillside, the two sides of the hillside are also a horse flat river, Man Gui, Wu Xiang's people and horses soon rushed over the hillside, there is no trace.

At the foot of the hillside, the remnants of the Houjin mixed vanguard is gradually being eaten away by the Ming army, and the general who leads the army is Yue Tuo, the son of the Great Belle Daishan, at this moment he saw that the situation was very unfavorable to them, and with hundreds of elite soldiers with red flags desperately broke through to the northwest, wanting to escape from the encirclement of the Ming army, and planned to reorganize the formation and then cooperate with the cavalry of Mang Gurtai to kill back.

These hundreds of red flag soldiers are obviously the elite of this vanguard team, and Sun Yueling can find out about this situation, and Sun Zushou will naturally find out about it. Sun Zushou had already stared at these hundreds of soldiers, and the 1,000 foot soldiers under his command were basically rushing towards these hundreds of soldiers, chasing after them and killing them all the way.

Sun Yueling would not let go of this great opportunity, and suddenly ordered: "Yan Nantian, take someone to follow me and capture Yue Tuo alive!" As soon as the words fell, he turned his horse's head and copied towards the four northern breads.

"Capture Yue Tuo alive!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder, followed behind Sun Yueling, drew a long arc on the west side of the battlefield, and turned to the north.

"Da Da Da!" The sound of horses' hooves trembling sounded intensively, and they soon caught up with the red-flag soldiers who were fighting and retreating.

In the formation of the Houjin army, Yue Tuo, who was fighting horses and galloping all the way, was furious and angry, if it weren't for his third brother Sakhalian and Chongding League's left protector Ghost Room Yoshinobu to dissuade him, he would have turned around and rushed to the Ming army camp.

As the owner of the dignified Red Flag Banner, the eldest son of the Great Belle Daishan, and the leader of the younger generation of the Houjin, he was chased and beaten all the way by the Ming army, what an unacceptable thing, it can be said that it has never happened since the founding of the Houjin Dynasty.

Yue Tuo was originally a high-minded and arrogant person, and the setback in this battle made him have no face to meet Mang Gurtai.

Since they killed the scouts sent by the Ming army last night, they expected that the Ming army would definitely come to the rescue of Jinzhou, so they decided to send a partial division to set up an ambush on the mountain to stop the Ming army.

Originally, Mang Gurtai planned to send the elite cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner to march with him, but Yue Tuo spoke wildly in front of Mang Gurtai, saying that there was no need for so many people, and only relying on the five hundred red flag soldiers and those mixed flag soldiers under his command could intercept the Ming army at the Lili Mountain, so that the Ming army did not dare to cross the Lili Mountain by half a step.

At that time, he was still very confident in his heart, after all, over the years, only the Houjin chased the Ming army, and the Ming army immediately scattered as soon as it met the Houjin army, and it was impossible to form an army.

It was unbelievable that this battle had been lost so in such a vague way.

Yue Tuo was very unconvinced, from the reports of his subordinates, he knew that Mang Gurtai's supporting cavalry was coming, and he was determined to endure it for the time being, as long as he broke out of the encirclement of the Ming army, and when the time came, he would kill it back with Mang Gurtai, and this Ming army would inevitably see the strength of the Eight Banners Army.

But his wishful thinking was ruthlessly crushed by reality, the Ming army's foot soldiers have interspersed and divided their hundreds of people, and the way to the periphery was also blocked by the Ming cavalry.

Thousands of Ming troops chased after the Houjin vanguard and slashed them, and suddenly the flesh and blood soared, with countless casualties, and the entire battlefield was miserable.

Sun Yueling knew that the Ming army had the rule of "cutting off the head and recording the merits", but he had issued a strict order before the war, and all the credit must be divided after the battle, so thousands of Ming troops did not compete to cut the enemy's head, but maintained the formation and pursued this enemy army endlessly.

Of course, it is not excluded that some people were affected by the convention, stopped the pursuit, and went to cut off the enemy's head, but these situations were all seen by Yan Nantian one by one, and those Ming troops who cut off their heads without permission were immediately formed in front of the army, and under the shock, they did not dare to do this kind of disobedience.

Originally, this Houjin army relied on the convenience of riding horses, even if the situation was unfavorable to them, they could quickly leave the battlefield, but the bad thing was that behind them was the big slope of Lili Mountain, and it was difficult to retreat quickly, and the back road had long been blocked by the Mangui Department, and only escaping to the side of the mountain was the only way to survive.

But in this way, they had to make a big detour, which greatly affected their escape time, and they were entangled by the Ming army coming from the fast horses, and it was difficult to evacuate.

"Big brother, if we don't leave them, we won't be able to escape at all!" Sakhalian pointed to the red-flag-studded soldiers behind him and shouted at Yueto.

"What did you say?" Yueto's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he roared at Sakhalian. It would be worse than killing him to leave his banner soldiers and run away alone, and even if he managed to escape, it would definitely cast a shadow on his heart, and his heart would ache when he thought about it.

Sakhalian couldn't control his fiery eyes, and continued to shout: "If we don't make a decision, we will all have to explain here......"

The ghost room Yoshinobu on the side also persuaded: "Yes, Master Pei, at this time, we can only have a chance to kill back if we escape first and have a round with Sanbeile!" ā€

The two generals beside him agreed with this idea, and Yue Tuo exhaled fiercely and said angrily: "This is what you said!" Although he was not angry, he agreed with them.

Sakhalian did not hesitate any longer, and slammed the horse's belly, and the first horse rode out of the formation, followed by Yoshinobu Onimuro.

Yue Tuo glanced back at the approaching Ming army, sighed in his heart, and hurriedly chased after them.

The rest of the Houjin soldiers saw that the commander abandoned them, and they had no heart to fight, and they all tried to escape as if they wanted to escape desperately.

Seeing this, Sun Yueling shouted loudly: "Don't let go of Yue Tuo, chase me!" "Take Yan Nantian and the others to chase after them wildly.

But Yue Tuo's speed of escape was not slower than them at all, and he ran in front of the team again, seeing that he was already unable to catch up.

Sun Yueling had no choice but to let Yue Tuo go, and instead commanded the army to strangle those Houjin soldiers who could not escape.

It didn't take long for these Houjin soldiers to fall under the slaughter of the Ming army, and the blood stained the earth.

The remaining Mongolian banner soldiers and Han puppet soldiers saw that most of the Red Banner soldiers were killed in battle, and they no longer dared to resist stubbornly, and they knelt on the ground one after another, saying that they wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Yueling was afraid that Man Gui, Wu Xiang and others would not be able to withstand the impact of Mang Gurtai, so he pointed at these miscellaneous soldiers and said: "General Sun, leave some people to watch them, and the rest of the people will go with me to support General Man." ā€

Sun Zushou responded to the order and immediately left a team to watch these people.

Sun Yueling led the rest of the men and horses to climb the mountain, and after crossing the hillside, the situation in front of him shocked him and gasped.

I saw that on the broad plain behind the mountain, Mangui's 2,000 Guanning troops actually set up a position and launched a frontal attack on Mang Gurtai's Zhenglan Banner.

The two sides have been fighting together, and the scene is extremely tragic.

You must know that there are at least 3,000 cavalry in the Zhenglan Banner, which is the same level in terms of number as the cavalry brought by Man Gui and Wu Xiang, but the combat power of the Houjin cavalry has always been slightly better than that of the Guanning Army, and the Guanning Army has long been afraid of the Houjin Army, and now Mangui actually dares to attack the Houjin Army, which is really unexpected.

"General Man Gui is really my first brave general of the Ming Dynasty!" Sun Yueling had to sigh about this.

He originally thought that Man Gui would be able to hold back Manggultai's cavalry in a guerrilla battle at most, but he unexpectedly met the enemy and launched an attack on the Houjin army.
