There were less than 500 cavalry left in the Horqin cavalry, and they had fled without a trace at this moment. After the horsetail cavalry cleaned up the battlefield, the whole army entered the large camp where the Horqin cavalry was stationed. It was also fortunate to know that the Mongols did not live with the cavalry of the Han Army, and they were also nearly ten miles away from Zhou Peigong's army. Otherwise, at this time, the 3,000 cavalry of the Mawei Army directly faced the tens of thousands of Qing troops.

The Mawei Army in the Jiangbei region originally did not have a cavalry, and this Zhou Peigong was also clear, so the cavalry unit was placed at the back of the army by him. These days, these cavalry units have not had a chance to fight at all, except for running to the nearby county town to show the strength of the imperial army, they will return to the camp at night. It just so happened that the Mawei Army caught up with the Horqin cavalry who had not yet gone out early in the morning.

The area occupied by the Mongolian cavalry camp was not small, and more than 300 Mongolian baggage soldiers were also killed on the spot by the Mawei army. It seems that the Mongols still like to live in tents, and there are more than 300 tents in this large woods, and I don't know if I look at it from a distance, I think it is a snow in the woods, and the ground is white. The soldiers of the Mawei Army immediately ran over to bring out a large amount of forage, and then brought clean water, dissolved a large amount of salt in the water, and then provided it to all the horses to eat and drink. After a long run, drink some salt water, which can make the war horse fully recover. Good for continuing to run. At this moment, the war horse really needs to be replenished. The cavalry soldiers of the Mawei Army also grabbed a few pieces of black bean cake from the cloth bag on the horse's body, broke them, mixed them in the forage and fed them to the war horse. In this way, the war horse can not lose weight and have sustained combat effectiveness.

In the garrison of the Mongol cavalry, no money was found. This Mongolian cavalry fought with Zhou Peigong's army, and it was not possible to burn, kill and loot at will along the way as if the Manchus had not entered the pass. Zhou Peigong himself is very strict with military discipline, and he can rob the enemy, but ordinary people are absolutely not allowed to move. The fighters rummaged through the various tents, something worth noting. None of the same. In general, these three Horqin Mongolian thousand-man teams are all poor ghosts, and they have nothing but war horses.

After counting, a total of eighty-five soldiers of the horsetail cavalry were killed, and the number of wounded was about the same. In addition, more than 150 horses were lost. Most of these soldiers were killed by the Mongol cavalry in the face, and less than twenty were killed by scimitars or javelins in the later battles. As for the results of the cavalry of the Mawei Army, the results were considerable, and at least more than 1,800 corpses of Mongolian cavalry were counted at the scene, as well as more than 600 wounded. The cavalry division of the Mawei Army did not need the wounded. Especially the wounded of the Mongol soldiers. Therefore, these wounded were quickly turned into corpses by the horsetail cavalry with swords.

The biggest gain for the horsetail cavalry. More than 1,300 horses were captured and can still be used. Originally, the Mongols had a considerable number of horses, 3,000 horses. Unfortunately, five hundred Horqin Mongol cavalry fled. The other half of the horses were hit by bullets, either killed or wounded, and could not be used any longer.

"Commander, there's a stable to the north of the woods!" Suddenly, Han Baohu, who had been promoted to the deputy commander of the third battalion of the cavalry division, shouted excitedly.

"Stables?"

Jiang Yuanxun hurriedly rode his horse and rushed over. Good fellows, on the north side of the woods, there's also a huge stable. Inside the stables, there are at least three thousand intact horses! There's also plenty of forage on the side! How could the Mongols have so many war horses? Jiang Yuanxun quickly figured out that the standard configuration of the Mongolian cavalry was also one person and two horses. These horses, on long marches, can be used in rotation. At the same time, war horses can also help them carry the necessities. In normal times, these surplus war horses are stored in this stable. As a result, they are now all captured by the horsetail cavalry.

"Good thing! We rode a horse when we came, and we rotated when we turned back and continued to fight! These are all good Mongolian horses, even better than our horses. ”

"It's true, these war horses are all good horses at first glance, these Mongolian Tartars, sold to others are second-rate horses, and the best ones are basically kept for their own use. The Central Plains region wants to buy a Mongolian horse with a good number, and the price is really staggering. Ordinary people don't eat or drink and save a lifetime of silver, which is not enough for the price of a top war horse, it's really fucking unfair! "Han Baohu is too tall, his war horse is one in a thousand, and he really knows this, so he works harder on the battlefield. He had two horses in total, and the whole cavalry division could not find a few horses that could match his warhorses.

"This capture, I can allow you to take the lead in selecting a horse, as an additional reward for your brave fight this year, there are still tens of thousands of Qing troops to deal with when you go back, you have to make persistent efforts!" Jiang Yuanxun looked at his appearance and said to Han Baohu with a smile. Looking at this kid's appearance, he knew that he had taken a fancy to the war horse in it, and it was estimated that there should be something he wanted, so he promised in advance.

As soon as Jiang Yuanxun's words came out, Han Baohu was overjoyed and said, "Master Xie, hehe, then I'm welcome!" So saying, he jumped off his horse and walked towards the stable, where he had to look carefully and pick out the best one

"There are more than three thousand cavalry troops in the Mawei Army? And it was for the Horqin cavalry first? When he received the urgent report, Zhou Peigong asked with a gloomy face.

"Yes General, the villain is sure." The captain of the Qing army scout said breathlessly.

The horsetail cavalry moved quickly, and they, the scouts of the Qing army, did their best to inform Zhou Peigong of the news. It is also a desperate whipping war horse. Galloping. When he came to the base camp. The war horse under the crotch is already foaming at the mouth, and it may die suddenly at any time.

"Got it." Zhou Peigong said slowly.

The scout gasped and turned away.

"General, the Ponytail Army is heading for Battle, what the hell are they going to do?" Deputy Commander Mang asked cautiously.

Mang Yitu, full name is Zhaojia. Mang Yitu is a Manchurian man with a white flag. His father, Wu Dachan, followed Taizong of the Qing Dynasty to defeat the Ming Dynasty during the Chongde period. Attacking Renqiu, Jiyang and other places, and attacking these cities first, he was given the name "Baturu" by the Qing court and granted the hereditary position of Niu Lu Zhangjing. When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he was awarded the post of captain of Taiyuan City. After his death, Mang Yitu took over the position and entered the third-class Adhahafan. In the fifteenth year of Shunzhi, Mang Yitu followed the general Zhuo Butt south to Guizhou, arrived at Panjiang from Duyun, and broke the army of Li Dingguo, the general of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He led his army westward to pacify Yunnan.

In the second year of Kangxi. Li Zicheng's remnants Li Laiheng and others occupied Maolu Mountain in Hubei to resist the Qing Dynasty and never captured it. Mang Yitu followed the Jingxi general Mulima and conquered Maolu Mountain. After the triumph, he was awarded the title of Jiangning co-leader. That is, last year, Wu Sangui raised troops, Kangxi transferred Jiangnan money and grain soldiers and horses, he went to the capital according to the map, and was sent by Kangxi to Zhou Peigong as a deputy in the same year, and the veteran Tuhai continued to lead the army to defend Shaanxi.

"There are two possibilities." Zhou Peigong said calmly. He estimated that there were two possibilities for the Mawei army to rush at Battle's Mongol cavalry. The first is that he feels that his strength is strong, and he can destroy the most powerful army of his army and hit the morale of tens of thousands of imperial court troops. In addition, they wanted to eliminate this Mongolian cavalry, and then cooperate with the Mawei Army infantry on the south bank of the Huai River to flank the front and rear to give their army a fatal blow.

Now, no matter what, as long as the enemy wants to do something, he must stop it, and this is a basic military principle. Therefore, Zhou Peigong must not let the Mawei Army succeed. It's just that now the horsetail cavalry actually has the courage to rush towards Battle's three Mongol thousand-man teams, which shows that they have enough skills to destroy these three Mongol thousand-man teams. At the very least, the Ponytail himself must think so. The horsetail cavalry tried to annihilate the Mongols' three thousand men in one fell swoop, which was a noteworthy phenomenon.

In terms of military deployment, Zhou Peigong understood that it was risky for the Mongolian cavalry to be too far away from his own army camp. But Zhou Peigong was not worried at all, after all, there were more than 3,000 Mawei Army troops on the other side of the Huai River in the Jiangbei region, and there were no other teams that could threaten the Qing army, but now this news made his heart hang. The Mawei army dared to take the initiative to rush over to fight, which also shows that this part of the Horqin Mongol cavalry is indeed in danger of being eaten by the Mawei army.

"My lord, the general is feeling a little bad." Mang Yitu said slowly.

The Mawei Army, which had been obstructing on the other side, suddenly had a large cavalry attack, and wanted to eat more than 3,000 Horqin Mongol cavalry in one bite, which was definitely worth being vigilant against. There is a popular saying among the Han people, which is called if you don't make a sound, and you are a blockbuster. If the Mawei Army suddenly became a blockbuster, Battle's more than 3,000 Korqin warriors would be terrible.

"I know." Zhou Peigong said slowly.

The general of the Mawei Army is definitely not a fool, even Geng Jingzhong himself will not rashly let his subordinates take the initiative to challenge the three Mongolian thousand-man teams. Since the Mawei Army has done this, it shows that the Mawei Army must be somewhat sure. No matter where the Mawei Army came from, it showed that they already had the strength to challenge the three Mongol thousand-man teams. This is definitely not a good thing.

"My lord, we must go at once." Mang Yitu said cautiously. Supporting Battle and more than 3,000 Korqin cavalry is a matter of urgency, and it cannot be delayed. The movement of the cavalry was very rapid, and a minute's delay could have an adverse impact on the battle situation. Perhaps, Bart's more than 3,000 cavalry are struggling to support at this moment, waiting for their rescue. But no matter how urgent the matter, it's important to weigh the most critical issues. Zhou Peigong first had to judge clearly whether his base camp would be in danger. The horsetail army attacked Battle's cavalry team, did it divert the tiger from the mountain and attack the west? Will the goal of the Mawei Army be their base camp? It's not impossible!

Shoot people first and shoot horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, these basic truths, Zhou Peigong understands, then the generals of the Mawei Army must also understand, but the key is how to use them effectively. If the Mawei Army has enough strength. It is entirely possible to tempt the three thousand cavalry who attacked Battle. Mobilize other forces. Then in one fell swoop, they attacked the base camp of their Qing army.

"No, it won't."

In the end, Zhou Peigong judged that his base camp would not be in danger. If the strength of the Mawei Army could increase overnight to the point where it could wipe out his base camp, he would admit it. Besides, he himself will follow with a large army and set off with the cavalry troops. Even if the base camp is attacked, the troops remaining in this town will not talk about meeting the attack, but it will not be much of a problem to hold on.

"Ehne!"

"Zhao Liangcai!"

Zhou Peigong shouted loudly.

"Here!"

The generals of the two cavalry battalions hurriedly agreed.

"You two immediately lead all the cavalry to reinforce Battle!"

"Don't spare horsepower!"

Zhou Peigong said coldly.

"Understood!"

The two hurriedly replied, then turned and left quickly.

Zhou Peigong's meaning is very clear, that is, to run a dead horse, but also to rush to the far away Battle and more than 3,000 Horqin Mongol cavalry as quickly as possible, if the Mongols have not been completely wiped out. If the Mongols were wiped out, then they would only have to inspect the battlefield.

"The rest of you, follow me to the zirconium platform!" The zirconium platform is where the last bridge is located. The Huai River is full of bends and eight winds, just a few bridges, and the zirconium platform is also a very narrow place on the river surface. Zhou Peigong was going to take a large army over to test the strength of the Mawei Army, if the number of people on the opposite side increased a lot. Then he will have to be very careful in the next battle.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded urgently. Under Zhou Peigong's strict order, the cavalry battalion of the Han Army Banner assembled quite quickly, and in a moment, all the personnel of the cavalry battalion were ready to set off. led by Mang Yitu, and then set off with Ehena and Zhao Liangcai.

More than 3,000 cavalry swept out of the base camp of the Qing army like the wind, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the fields near Wutai County.

"Quick!"

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

Mang Yitu kept shouting at his subordinates. An hour later, they finally reached the position of the large camp where the Mongol cavalry was stationed.

"Ponytail!"

"It's the Ponytail!"

The advance of the Han Banner Cavalry Battalion immediately roared. That's right, those dazzling figures are none other than the horsetail cavalry! The horsetail cavalry warriors were also wearing bright silver plate armor, so they looked quite dazzling.

"Rush forward!"

"Kill them all!"

Mang Yitu roared viciously. For a while, all the cavalry of the Qing army drove their war horses like crazy and rushed towards the horsetail cavalry in the distance. They tried to knock the horsetail cavalry directly to the ground from the side, and then started hand-to-hand combat. This part of the cavalry soldiers of the Qing army was good at both riding and archery, and also good at hand-to-hand combat. They are also from the northwest, and although they are a little worse than the horse-controlling skills of the Mongols who grew up on horseback, their personal bravery is indeed not the same.

When the cavalry of the Qing army was still three miles away, the Mawei army had already received information and began to prepare for the battle. All the horsetail cavalry continued to put on heavy plate armor, straddled the war horses and lined up in a neat queue, and quietly lined up in the wilderness east of the camp woods, waiting for the arrival of the Qing cavalry troops.

It's too arrogant, and the number of cavalry on the opposite side can also be seen by Mangyitu, not more than the cavalry under his command, and it looks like the opposite side has not fought at all, at least not like there has been a battle today, it seems that Battle and they are still safe and sound. In this way, it is better to attack first, and see that he destroys this part of the Mawei army first. Today is likely to be Battle early in the morning with the cavalry to the county side to show off his might, this time is almost the time to come back, and when they are engaged in the battle with the Mawei Army, maybe Batel suddenly killed from the other side, hmph, this cavalry of the Mawei Army is in a catastrophe.

"Kill!"

"Kill"

There was a shout of killing, more than 3,000 cavalry of the Qing army roared and rushed towards the Mawei army column, at this time the distance between the two armies was more than 800 meters, at a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, the Qing cavalry began to charge, it seems that Mang Yitu really can't wait.

Seeing that the Qing army is getting closer and closer,

Four hundred meters

Three hundred meters

Two hundred meters

One hundred and fifty meters

The cavalry of the Qing army was indeed getting closer and closer, and it was close enough to distinguish everyone's faces.

"Open fire" Jiang Yuanxun waved the order flag in his hand vigorously again as he had done in the morning battle. At a distance of 150 meters, a short fire bolt can deal effective damage to the enemy.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The short fire bolt continued to sound.

One bullet after another whistled away, and the Qing cavalry in the impact suddenly fell in pieces. Such a result was no different from the outcome of the Horqin cavalry force in the morning, when Mang Yitu and they didn't know that Battell's was finished, and they couldn't imagine that the three thousand Mongolian Horqin elite cavalry troops would be defeated in the hands of this horsetail cavalry team of the same number. It's just this time, but it's their turn to suffer. (To be continued......)
