The strength of the Guanning Iron Cavalry was not much, only about 1,000. And because on the battlefield in Liaodong, the Ming army has always been on the defensive and tries to avoid field battles with the Qing army, so the Guanning iron cavalry rarely participates in the battle.

But in the two battles that are handful, the Guanning Iron Cavalry played a crucial role. first confronted the Qing army's white-armored soldiers in the Battle of Ningyuan, and then served as the backbone in the Battle of the Daling River Breakout.

The Qing army, which thought it was invincible in the world, did not take any advantage from the Guanning Iron Cavalry in these two battles. Because the Guanning Iron Cavalry is a heavy armored cavalry, archery is basically ineffective against them, so on the battlefield of short combat, the Guanning Iron Cavalry can be said to be the nemesis of the nomadic light cavalry with mounted archery as the main mode of combat. For such a strong army, the Manchu nobles were both hateful and greedy, and they wanted to use it for their own use, and they had previously sent Li Yongfang to lure Li Chengyong, the second head of the Li family, for the purpose of this.

But after Li Chongyao was killed, Zu Dashou succeeded as the head of the family, wantonly appointed cronies, and Guanning Tieqi was not spared, and was half swept away by his nephew Zukuan, and was transferred to Hong Chengchou's account to deal with the thieves, and now there are only 500 horsemen left. However, it was these five hundred horsemen who completely defeated the three thousand light cavalry of the Han Army Banner in the blink of an eye, and Amin Yan could not be surprised!

What is especially critical is that the current situation on the battlefield is extremely unfavorable for the white flag. If it was a field battle with the Guanning Iron Cavalry on the battlefield in Liaodong, even if there were no white armor soldiers, Amin would not be afraid. Because the advantage of hoplites is in close combat, and the disadvantage is in long-distance running. As long as the battlefield is enlarged and long-range maneuvers are implemented, the Guanning Iron Cavalry will not be able to catch up with the Qing army. After the battlefield was fully unfolded within a radius of tens or even hundreds of miles, the Qing army could always find the weak point of the Ming army and deal a devastating blow, and a few hundred Guanning iron cavalry alone would not help.

But now it is different, the Qing army wants to recapture Qian'an City as soon as possible, open the way out of the customs, and then make a detour elsewhere There is no point at all; The task of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is very simple, as long as it is like a wall in front of the Qing army. If the white flag is inlaid to attack Ning Tieqi, it is equivalent to attacking the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings. Although with the absolute superiority of troops, it may not be impossible to annihilate the other party, but it will inevitably pay a heavy price.

But Amin weighed it again and again, and still made up his mind, even if he lost his old capital, he had to eat Guan Ning Tieqi. Because of the sudden occupation of Qian'an City and the appearance of Guanning Iron Cavalry, it shows that the Ming army has been outflanked from the east and west. Originally, Amin hoped that this situation would arise, so that he could take advantage of the Ming army to attack the city and launch a field battle on the flank. If it really doesn't work, you can also withdraw from Baiyangyu north of Qian'an.

But what Amin didn't expect was that before the battle was fought, the "noble righteousness" of Luanzhou City rebelled by itself. Qian'an City, which had hoarded a large amount of grain and grass and military supplies, was captured by the Ming army in less than half an hour. Originally, the three cities of Qian'an, Yongping, and Luanzhou were in the shape of a full foot, but now two of the three legs have been broken, and the field battle cannot be fought at all, and if you want to fight, you can only fight siege warfare.

Therefore, Amin must seize Qian'an City before the arrival of the Ming army in any case and regain the initiative. He immediately raised his saber and shouted: "Give this king's whole army a surprise attack, surround this Ming army, and not a single one can be left!" Those who retreat from the battle will be killed! ”

The Manchu Qing inlaid white flag is different from the Han army flag, and its combat effectiveness in the lower five flags is second to none, and it is not much better than the upper three flags. With Amin's order, the 15,000 cavalry of the whole army was immediately divided into three routes: left, center, and right, with the left route led by the general Niyaha, the right route led by the general Kazhu, and the most elite middle road led by Amin himself.

Encountering the soldiers of the Han army who retreated in panic, the Manchu cavalry shot without saying a word, and shot dozens of people in an instant, stopping the rout of the Han army banner. As soon as these dogs saw this battle, they knew that running back would be a dead end, so they had to turn their horses back and charge at the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Amin's tactic is very clear, that is, to surround the Guanning Iron Cavalry and forcibly eat it. This style of play has an obvious advantage, that is, the artillery of the Ming army will inevitably dare not fire it. After eating Guan Ning's iron cavalry, he will attack the city again, even if it is a hard collision, he will knock the city gate open.

But the Ming army is not a fool, and of course it will not let the Qing army succeed easily. Hao Yongzhong saw it clearly at the head of the city, and immediately ordered the army to ring a large gong. In ancient wars, it was common sense to advance when you heard the drums and retreat when you heard the gold, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry immediately regrouped after hearing it, and quickly rushed towards the south gate of Qian'an.

When the Qing army saw that the Guanning Iron Cavalry wanted to retreat into the city, of course they refused, and they all beat their horses and chased them desperately. But just as they were chasing hard, suddenly two earth-shattering cannons rang out, and the two Yuan Rong cannons at the head of Qian'an City were fired almost simultaneously. Only a few seconds later, two iron shells weighing more than a dozen catties smashed down on the Han army's flag array. Although he didn't kill a few people, he immediately threw the enemy's formation into chaos. These traitors were really not successful enough to defeat them, not only did they not catch up with the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but they blocked the Manchu cavalry behind.

Guanning Iron Cavalry took advantage of this opportunity to quickly retreat into Qian'an City, and the two generals personally broke off, but they were not in a hurry to enter the city, but turned their horses back, and stared coldly at the large number of Qing troops who pressed up with iron spears.

Seeing that he could not surround the Guanning Iron Cavalry, Amin had no choice but to order the whole army to stop the charge and retreat a little back. He was not afraid of the two generals, but he was really afraid of the artillery of the Ming army. Just now, in order to evade responsibility, Zhu Changzuo's army had hundreds of Hongyi cannons, although Amin did not fully believe it, he always felt that the firepower of the Ming army must be very fierce, otherwise it would be impossible to capture Qian'an in just half an hour.

Now that the Qing army withdrew from the firing range, the Ming army also stopped shelling, and the two sides were temporarily in a stalemate. Hao Yongzhong and Meng Gong hurriedly went down to the city to meet the generals of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, only to see that the two generals were both nine feet tall and had a fierce posture, and even their appearance was six or seven points similar, but one was older and the other was still very young.

Hao Yongzhong hurriedly clenched his fists and laughed: "This must be General Cao Wenzhao, and there is also a nephew of Jiaoxian!" ”

The second general hurriedly threw the stirrup and dismounted and saluted back: "Exactly! I don't know the general's surname, how can I know the name of my uncle and nephew? ”

Hao Yongzhong smiled enviously: "Hehe, Guanning Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, no one knows!" ”
