It took him half a day in the dark to rectify the defeated army, and he pursued it relentlessly.
The Mongolian light cavalry was amazing, and soon followed the footsteps of the Jurchens again. The sky is about to brighten, attacking the light and defending the dark in the dark, Ezhe suffered a big loss, no longer in a hurry to attack, and is ready to wait for the sky to brighten before seeing the shape and then fighting.
After a night of hurrying, Dolgon caught up with the Chinese army as the sun shone on the steppe, but the blackened Mongols on the horizon behind him were getting closer and closer.
Dolgon knew that it was almost impossible to get rid of the Mongols in the steppe, and that they had to move eastward in a fight.
After consulting with Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan, Ezhe decided to gather 50,000 allied troops in one place to form a joint force and no longer fight separately.
After a hard night, both sides experienced a short break.
At the end of the day, the main force of the Jurchens moved eastward again, and the Mongols followed like maggots on tarsal bones.
Under the rising sun, Ezhe commanded the cavalry to rush straight into Dolgon's broken rear army.
Under the light of the sun, the shape of the battlefield was clear at a glance, and Zasaktu Khan did not dare to work or contribute any more.
Ezhe commanded in the center, and the swarming Mongol light cavalry rushed to the Jurchen defensive line, and the bows and arrows and scimitars could not penetrate the Jurchen armor, so they attacked their horses, scraping the defense line layer by layer like skinning.
Passive defense alone could not stop the enemy, and Dorgon was forced to order Okan to attack again.
"Kill!"
The white-armored soldiers rushed towards the Mongol light cavalry, like spears into the water unstoppable, and the Mongol crowded front army was broken and scattered and fled. But then the knights rode lightly to avoid the onslaught of Okan,
4ob6
Repeatedly attacking his horse with a bow and arrow, and like flowing water, he encompasses his front and right sides.
"Kill!"
Okan wielded his broadsword and split the Mongol in front of him in half, sweat and blood making his hand slippery. The sun was exposed to the sky and the iron armor made them consume their bodies and water much faster than the Mongols.
He was dizzy from the light riders around him, and the Mongols would have left a wound on him with their scimitars, and without this armor he would have died a hundred times.
In the queue, Dolgon's face was grim, and the onslaught of Okan had temporarily relieved the pressure on the Chinese army, but had put them in danger. He could see clearly from a distance that the Mongols were gathering cavalry to try to prevent them from returning to their positions.
Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan accompanied Ezhe to watch the battle.
Ezhe pointed his horsewhip at Okan and said, "That is the man who repelled me last night. ”
The white-armored soldiers were as solid as a rock, and the Mongolian light cavalry was like the waves of the sea repeatedly washing over the reef.
"Kill!"
Okan wields a knife. The Mongol cavalry on the opposite side held the reins in panic, and the horses raised their hooves and stood half-erect, and the blades that should have fallen on the cavalry slashed into the shiny manes. With a hiss of pain, the knight had already jumped away and fled to his own position.
The white-armored soldiers had already attacked for five or six miles, and the Mongols on the opposite side were sparsely formed and could not be seen.
The rain of arrows followed, and the galloping horses fell to the ground and threw the heavily helmeted samurai on the grass. The Mongols used tiger siege tactics, teasing, harassing, dodging, and arrow wounds, and all their tactics came from hunting. The small force of cavalry retreated with a single blow, and the heavy cavalry was like a tiger fluttering a fly in the Mongol cavalry, seemingly in front of him, out of reach.
Okan was furious, he hated this kind of guerrilla tactic the most, he couldn't use it strongly, and if there was another cavalry to attack him, it would definitely make those Mongols have nowhere to hide.
Looking up, there was not a single reference, surrounded by the circling of the Mongol cavalry, and a large fireball set off by the blue curtain in the sky, and Okan swung his sword immediately, and under the teasing of the Mongols, he did not notice that he was getting farther and farther away from his own formation.
After wounding a Mongol cavalryman with a sword, Okan stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips, his throat felt like it was going to smoke, and he wanted to drink water. Anyone who has been in the iron steamer exposed to the sun in June for so long has the same feeling as him, and the heavy cavalry is used to charge the battle, not to pursue.
Sensing the fluctuation of the battle getting farther and farther away, Dorgon ordered: "Blow the trumpet of retreat!" "He could no longer see the banner of Okan.
The summoning horn reached Ezhe's ears, and he waved his horsewhip and pointed to the banner of Okand, and said to Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan beside him: "Lao Jia Erkhan will defeat this army for me. ”
Throughout the morning, the Chahar cavalry was almost in full swing, and Ezhe seemed to be deliberately showing the second khan how the Mongol cavalry should engage the Jurchens. Despite the decay of the Horde, Chahar still had some of the most warlike cavalry in Mongolia.
No one wants to annihilate the Jurchens' western expedition army more than Ezhe, and of course it can't rely on the strength of Chahar alone.
Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan bowed their hands at the same time and said, "I am willing to serve the Great Khan." "Ezhe's recent appearance has made them think of Chahar greatly, he is not as domineering as his father Lin Dan Khan, and he is very respectful of all the ministries.
In the midst of the battle, Okan was like an enraged bull chasing after him, and the sudden sound of the horn calmed him down. Looking around, the white-armored soldiers were all panting, and the horses were also drooping.
"Back to the battle!" The blood-stained broadsword pointed in the direction it came.
At this time, the rear of the Mongol cavalry rose suddenly, and the left and right flanks Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan personally led the cavalry to gallop over, and the small Chahar cavalry, which was originally scattered and harassed, quietly retreated to rest. Two columns of light cavalry flanked the retreating Okhan, and the horses spread their hooves and ran parallel to the Jurchens 300 paces away.
The Jurchens watched the Mongols complete the outflanking, they were too tired, both men and horses.
This time it was no longer a harassment, the light and agile Mongol light cavalry approached and stretched out their bows and arrows a hundred paces away, and after two rounds of bows and arrows, the light cavalry wielded a scimitar like a large pair of pincers to clamp the Jurchen queue.
Okan was unable to lead his subordinates to sprint again, and the two armies were mixed together.
Unable to cut through the heavy armor of the Jurchens, the Mongols jumped forward and dragged them under their horses, where they trampled them, and the men of Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan showed unprecedented bravery.
On the grassy slope in the distance, Ezhe had a strange smile on his face, and he ordered Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan to attack at the same time, also to arouse the competitive spirit of the two. Everyone has selfish motives, and only Tushetu Khan is willing to support him among the Mongol tribes, and if he does not try his best to use the power of other tribes, even if all the Chahars are killed in battle, they will not be able to achieve their goals.
"Breakout!"
Ekan roared, and the feeling of regret came to his heart again, he was too far away from his own formation.
The white-armored soldiers mustered up their last strength, and they finally waited for the opportunity to go head-to-head with their opponents.
Iron hammers, long knives, there is no enemy head-on, that is the jungle of killing, and the Mongolian light horsemen are forced to turn on their backs. They have lived in the mountains for generations, with jackals as companions, tigers and bears as friends, after being recruited by Huang Taiji, some people can't even speak the Jurchen clearly, but they know that killing people is no different from splitting tigers and bears. Although there are only four hundred people, they can be used as thousands of troops, if Zhai Zhe sees it, he will know that Lei Yanqian's charge is not worth mentioning compared to them.
"Stop them!" Tushetu Khan shouted loudly, and the light horse slammed into the demon-like white-armored soldier like a moth to a flame.
The sound of the bowstring sounded, the arrows penetrated the armor into the body, and on the way back, one by one, the huge bodies fell to the ground, and they could no longer get up from the heavy iron armor.
The bravery of the white-armored soldiers, the courage of the cavalry of Tushetu Khan, and the heart of Zasaktu Khan were shocked, it turned out that in Mobei, he was the weakest tribe.
Dolgon listened closely, the shouts of killing were almost stagnant from his own formation, and he would not allow half of his elite white-armored soldiers to be lost here. The status of the two white flags in Dajin is second only to the two yellow flags, because he has these thousand white-armored soldiers.
"Kill!" He waved his long knife and shouted, "Follow me to save them!" ”
The airtight defensive position opened, and two thousand cavalry rushed out like a hurricane, scattering the harassing Mongol light cavalry. This is the elite who waited for work, and ten miles passed in an instant, and Tushetu Khan was caught off guard, and the intercepted cavalry was killed and fled in all directions.
"Dolgon is out!" Not far away, Ezhe saw this scene and was pleasantly surprised.
The rapid horn of the bull's horn sounded through the grassland, and the Chahar cavalry, which had just rested, was urged forward.
"Kill Dolgon!" Ezhe shouted.
"Kill Dolgon!" Thousands of cavalry responded.
Dolgon's eyebrows were cold, the big knife in his hand was not affected at all, he needed to quickly rescue Okan and retreat to his own position, and then guard until dark.
Tushetu Khan finally could not bear the enemy on his belly and back, and the cavalry of the brigade was routed.
Okam saw Dolgon's figure through the dense Mongol cavalry.
"Rush over!" The wide knife no longer has a cutting edge, and its movements are not as agile as they were at the beginning. Just as he raised his sword and shouted, a sharp arrow hit his ear, it was an iron arrow of the Han people, which penetrated into the armor. His head was buzzing, his face ached excruciatingly, and he let out a scream and staggered on his horse.
The white-armored soldier next to him could see clearly that an arrow was stuck in his ear, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking.
Okan couldn't see the panicked expressions of others, only felt that his face was wet, and the sky swirled left and right.
"Hold on!" The soldiers around him shouted, and they surrounded him and killed him in the direction of Dolgon. The two armies finally converged, only the Mongol cavalry entwined around became more numerous.
Unwilling to confront Dolgon head-on, Zasaktu Khan picked up a small bargain, cut off nearly 1,000 people in the back of Okand, surrounded and slaughtered.
"Kill Dolgon!" Chahar cavalry was pouring in from all directions, and Tushetu Khan was regrouping his defeated army.
Okan's knife had fallen nowhere, and he had to hold his balance by grabbing the mane of the war horse with both hands. The Jurchen Baturu, hundreds of people died at his hands during his career, and now he finally feels the taste of death.
"Kill back!" Dolgon turned his horse's head, and the remnants of the white-armored soldiers joined forces and fought to the east, but the Chahar cavalry in front of him became denser and denser.
