In the middle of the night, Zhao Tai took his eight thousand elite horsemen and waited quietly in line in the West Gate.

More than 8,000 war horses have soft things on their hooves, and they run with a very small sound. The horses were also tied, their ears were stuffed, and every sergeant was strictly required not to make a sound until he had fought the enemy, and it was a violation of military law.

Behind them were the two most elite musket battalions of the Datong Army, with more than 10,000 men in the first and second battalions. After Zhao Tai's 8,000 cavalry went out of the city to attack the enemy camp, they drove out of the city to set up a formation outside the city, ready to meet and ambush possible pursuers. The other 5,000 cavalry led by Zhao Liang will also participate in this evening's operation, and their task is to protect the flanks of the two cavalry battalions.

In the direction of the West Gate, there is the battalion of the Han army Geng Zhongming's department and the Mongolian two blue banners, Cao Yue planned to hit Geng Zhongming's department and the Mongols by surprise through this night's sneak attack, and hit Dolgon by surprise.

Soon, a violent explosion sounded in the direction of the enemy camp outside the city, and the skyrocketing fire also ignited, which was a signal for action.

The west gate of Datong, which had been tightly closed, was slowly opened, and the suspension bridge was flattened when the city gate was fully opened.

"Brothers, follow the general, kill!" Zhao Tai raised his sword and rushed out of the city gate with his guards first.

Eight thousand elite horsemen behind him quickly rushed out of the city gate.

After the 8,000 cavalry rushed out of the city and disappeared into the night, the first battalion led by Cao Jie and the second battalion led by Cao Qian also drove out of the city at the fastest speed and lined up about a mile outside the city.

The Jiannu camp was about five to seven miles away from Datong City, and the men and horses led by Zhao Tai immediately began to accelerate after rushing out of the formation and lining up with cavalry charges.

At this time, in Geng Zhongming's camp, the members of the special training team who had infiltrated the camp were throwing grenades everywhere and setting fires everywhere. From afar, you can see the rushing fires and the sound of explosions. The sneak attack of the special training team this time was very different from that of the previous few days, and they did not run away after they succeeded, but took advantage of various conditions as cover and continued to fight.

Jiannu's patrol cavalry outside the camp was also attracted by the chaos in the camp, and they were afraid that there would be follow-up reinforcements from the Ming army approaching the camp, so they shrank their patrol routes one after another.

And this is exactly the effect that Cao Yue and Zhao Tai need, Jiannu narrowed the patrol range, and the time for Zhao Tai's brigade cavalry to be discovered was delayed.

When Zhao Tai led 8,000 elite cavalry and rushed to a distance of less than two miles from the Jiannu camp, he encountered the first team of Jiannu patrolmen, who had no time to run back to report, and were all killed by Zhao Tai's men and horses, and none of them survived.

At a distance of about a mile from Zhao Tai's men and horses to the Jiannu camp, the patrolling Jiannu sent a warning, but it was too late at this time.

The Ming cavalry, which raised the speed to the highest, no longer gave Jiannu a chance to react and arrange a blockade, and they used the grenade explosion and fire warning of the special personnel lurking into the camp, and successfully rushed into Jiannu's camp through the gap in the fence that was blown open with several large gaps.

Zhao Tai knew that tonight's large-scale attack on the camp had succeeded in the first step, and he was overjoyed, holding high the war knife in his hand, and ordered all the men and horses to quickly rush into the camp of Jiannu, and if they encountered any men and horses who dared to resist, they were all destroyed. The cavalry that followed Zhao Tai's charge, after rushing into the Jiannu camp, scattered under the leadership of their respective thousands of generals, and rushed towards the Jiannu camp from different directions.

The earth-shattering explosion sounded continuously, and it was a grenade thrown by the Ming cavalry who rushed into the camp.

The tactics of the Ming cavalry also changed, after rushing into the enemy camp and encountering the enemy, they first threw a grenade, blew up the opponent in a mess, and then used the saber to kill the opponent.

This kind of tactics, the first use of the effect is very good, in a state of high alert Jiannu Han army, after being bombed, immediately chaotic formation, was followed by the sound of the explosion of the Ming cavalry, rushed even more formation, can not organize resistance at all.

Zhao Tai personally led the army to rush to the front, and his men and horses were the strongest in the entire cavalry team, and then with the cooperation of special personnel, as well as the cheering of grenades, after rushing all the way into the camp, there was almost no large-scale resistance. In just a few moments, they rushed to the depths of the camp of Jiannu.

Not far away, in the firelight, Zhao Tai saw a small group of enemy cavalry, coming in this direction.

This is the escort team led by Geng Zhongming himself.

Unfortunately, just as his escort team was assembled, he was thrown explosives by members of the special training team who had lurked nearby.

The captain of the pro-soldier who had already discovered that the situation was wrong was unfortunately killed, and the other centaurs were also frightened, and many people were injured or killed.

The horses of the Ming cavalry had their ears stuffed so as not to frighten them with the sound of the explosion, and the horses of the Jiannu cavalry had no precautions at all, and the huge explosion frightened the horses, and under the chain reaction, many horses ran and jumped uncontrollably, including Geng Zhongming's mount.

Fortunately, Geng Zhongming's riding skills are good, and the mount under him is also a good horse, otherwise the war horse will definitely take him off the horse when he is frightened. Many of the soldiers around him were turned upside down by the frightened war horses.

Zhao Tai saw that a large group of cavalry in front of him was in a mess there, and he was already in a state of high excitement, so he immediately ordered the men and horses behind him to follow him and kill him.

Soon, the two men and horses approached quickly, and another grenade exploded, Geng Zhongming's guards were even more chaotic, and Zhao Tai led the guards around him, and before the smoke of the explosion dissipated, they had already rushed over. The sabre that flashed red was already raised high, and in the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the two sides were killed together.

The panicked Geng Zhongming guards, how was the opponent of the high-morale Zhao Tai leading the men and horses, and the high and low judgment on the battlefield, a large number of Jiannu Han troops were cut down.

Zhao Tai rode like a fly, and rushed towards the guy in front of him who was dressed completely differently from other sergeants. The sergeants beside him also quickly followed, and several horsemen engaged the enemy before him.

Zhao Tai aimed at the Jiannu officer who was not in a low position to kill, and when he rushed to the man's side, the raised saber slashed hard, and in the blood splash, the opponent's head was thrown forward, and the body of the head was lost, and after running forward on the horse's back for a while, it fell off the horse's back.

"The prince is dead!"

"Run, the prince has been killed......"

In the chaos, I don't know who shouted. Hearing that Geng Zhongming was killed, Jiannu, who was still dying of resistance, immediately rioted, and the originally unorganized resistance fell apart in just a while.

Zhao Tai also heard Jiannu's shout, and immediately shook his arms and shouted: "Geng Zhongming is dead, kill all Jiannu, kill!"

"Geng Zhongming is dead, kill all Jiannu, kill!"

"Kill!"

Wave after wave of shouts of killing rang out, and the morale of the Ming army, which was getting higher and higher, killed even more vigorously!
