The sound of horses' hooves in the darkness was like the beginning of the tide, and Acton crouched on the ground to listen to the movement in the distance, his face became more and more solemn, and there were tens of thousands of horsemen. A quarter of an hour later, the torches lit by the cavalry appeared in the direction of the market entrance, as bright as the stars in the sky, and the boundaries could not be seen, and wave after wave of Mongols poured in from the junction, leaving the water around the Zhangjiakou market impassable.

After more than ten years of fighting, Actunci felt the shadow of death.

"Here, someone's coming!" The archers on the roof were whispered.

A column of horsemen extinguished their torches and rushed towards the entrance to the market. The sound of hooves drew closer and closer, and the archers who were lying in ambush shot an arrow at the movement, and a muffled grunt came from the darkness, and the Mongol cavalry rushed into the bazaar without stopping.

"Shoot!"

The archers hiding in the shadows cast their arrows to their heart's content, and the Mongol cavalry rushing to the entrance of the city was a clear target. "Withdraw!" The knight shouted, and then hundreds of horsemen turned their horses and withdrew, leaving four or five corpses on the streets of the city, which was a test of the defenders.

"Great Khan, I don't know the terrain in the bazaar in the dark, it's better to wait for dawn to attack again!" The commander of the forward battalion saw clearly the situation in the battle just now, and went to Ezhe's place to ask for instructions, he was worried that the rash attack would lose too much.

Ezhe nodded. After the long-distance attack of the army, the people were exhausted, and his trip was also in line with the idea of teaching the Jurchens a lesson when he had the opportunity, and reaping some benefits if he didn't have the opportunity.

"And surround the bazaar! The army closely monitors the gate of Xuanfu! ”

The flat grassland outside the bazaar is not large, and it cannot accommodate so many soldiers and horses, some of them camp in the mountains and forests, and half of them go south of Zhangjiakou to block the road to Xuanfu.

Before he could rest and come to his senses, a noisy noise sounded in the south, and the scout came to report: "A troop of soldiers and horses rushed out of Xuanfu City? ”

"It's coming!" He shook his head like an electric shock, turned his horse and led the sweat tent cavalry south.

In the undulating mountains and forests, Yue Tuo urged the cavalry to run wildly, and when he saw the torches in front of him illuminating the sky, he stopped his horse, and it was too late, and the Zhangjiakou market was besieged.

Azig left 10,000 soldiers and horses to control the road out of Xuanfu, half of them guarded the Great Wall pass, and half of them were stationed on the road where Yanghe Weixuan's soldiers and horses had to exit. If Yue Tuo had received the news and immediately led the soldiers and horses at the Great Wall Pass to punish him, he would have arrived an hour earlier, but he didn't dare. The Great Wall Pass was a matter of retreat for the army, and the sudden return of the Mongols shocked him, and he did not dare to take any chances.

As long as the 5,000 cavalry entered the set, Yue Tuo was sure to resist the Mongol invasion, and the set contained supplies, and he did not believe that the Chahars would spend money here, not to mention that Azig's army was close at hand, and if he retreated, he could get out of the fortress within five days. "What now?" In a flash of light, he had to make a decision, either to enter Zhangjiakou and reject the Mongols from the grassland, or to abandon this place and return to Xuanfu.

"Attack!" Yue Tuo suddenly pressed down on his helmet and swung his knife at the sea of torches. The Qing soldiers and horses had always had a battlefield advantage over the Mongols, and the Chahars had not gained a firm foothold after a long march, and this opportunity was fleeting, with 2,000 soldiers and horses and countless captures there. He didn't believe that the 7,000 Qing cavalry couldn't hold Zhangjiakou for five days.

Recruiting 8

The Jurchen cavalry, each armed with a weapon, passed through the mountains and forests.

The Chahars had no time to rest, and with strange cries, they retreated as they harassed with their bows and arrows. Yueto commanded his men and horses to advance from the flat avenues, and he wanted to achieve the results before the Chahars could hold back the defensive line.

Suddenly the sound of a bull's horn sounded in the darkness, and the invading Chahars retreated for a moment and disappeared. Yue Tuocai felt relaxed, and the hooves of the cavalry rushing on the front avenue shook like thunder, and a column of cavalry collided straight over, and the Qing soldiers and horses were in short contact.

"Kill!" The Chahars threw their torches into the cavalry bushes opposite, drew their scimitars and stabbed them wantonly, showing no signs of fatigue. Long arrows are flowing in the sky, and there are archer shooters on both sides who hide behind in search of targets.

The front line of the battle became the mouth of hell, and the Jurchens slashed at the Mongols on the opposite side with their swords, but before they could draw their knives, they were shot through the throat by a long arrow. The archers who sniped in the dark decided the tide of the battle, and the Jurchens took advantage of their armor to force the Chahars back, leaving many corpses along the way.

The night made both sides a little bogey, and Yue Tuo and Ezhe didn't know how many hole cards the other side still had.

After a fierce battle for half an hour, the Jurchen cavalry advanced for more than ten miles, Yue Tuo was anxious, and it would take time to arrange defenses when he entered Zhangjiakou, so it would be a big trouble to delay until dawn.

"Assault! Assault! Yue Tuo shouted with a hideous face and gave an order, and the personal soldiers rarely saw such a demeanor of the flag master.

The urged Jurchen cavalry rushed forward to kill with their lives, and the horses were densely arranged and surging forward, no longer taboo to cover the Chahar archers, and the dead soldiers with triple armor were the vanguard, like sharp knives piercing beef to tear apart the battle line of the Chahars.

In the darkness, long arrows rained down, and some armor soldiers were still rushing to kill with more than a dozen arrows in their bodies, and although the arrows were shot, they could not penetrate the armor. The Mongols' riding bowstrings were less powerful than their foot bows, and they could only kill the dead if they hit the vital points. The Jurchen cavalry broke through at an accelerated pace, and the ranks were stretched out in long columns, surrounded on both flanks by the Chahars. Hiding in the mountains and forests, Chahar does not fight in close quarters, but only fires cold arrows.

Yue Tuo shouted: "Rush into Zhangjiakou, don't fight along the way!" ”

Ezhe looked at the torches in the queue of the Har people and became more and more flustered, and his heart was agitated.

After entering Zhangjiakou, the Chahar cavalry was divided into two divisions, one was monitoring the Zhangjiakou bazaar, and the other was blocking Yuetuo, and the advantage in strength was not obvious. The Jurchens all had armor, and the Mongols were mostly shirtless, and they were always at a disadvantage in close combat.

"Five thousand soldiers and horses, I can't resist the Jurchens with five thousand soldiers and horses!" The mania in Ezhe's heart was stirred up.

The commander beside him said: "I see that the Jurchen people want to rush into the Zhangjiakou market, it is better to let him in, and when the Han cavalry and Mobei cavalry have arrived, trap him here and catch the turtle in the urn in one fell swoop!" ”

The battlefield was narrow, and the power of the light cavalry could not be wielded in this situation, Ezhe saw that the tribesmen and horses were defeated all the way, and thought of the purpose of this battle, and ordered: "Order the cavalry to get out of the way, shoot only on the two wings, and kill the Jurchens as much as possible!" "This war is not only Chahar, even if one person is exchanged for another, the Chahar Department of 5,000 soldiers and horses that came from the annihilation and rescue will also suffer heavy losses.

The herald galloped away, and after a moment Yue Tuo felt that the Chahar soldiers and horses that were blocking the front were getting thinner and thinner, and the horse archers who followed behind were shooting the horses like maggots on tarsal bones. Soldiers landed on the ground and were killed by the Chahars, who were chasing after them.

"Quick!" Yue Tuo rode his horse, and the army accelerated towards the silent Zhangjiakou market in the dark.

At the same time, a cavalry marching with torches appeared on the Zhangba grassland outside the exit of Zhangjiakou.

The sound of fighting from the direction of Zhangjiakou was far away, Zhai Zhe was anxious, he was most afraid that Ezhe would let Chahar suffer Yan Zhan'ng losses under his recklessness, and lose the courage to take the initiative to challenge the Qing soldiers in the future. In the midst of the declining Mongol tribes, every cavalry was a treasure in the heart of the Khan. (To be continued)
