After the retreat of the Jin army wolf bรจi, the cheers of the Ming army behind them were like a sharp knife stabbed into Luo Luohun's ears, and the successive defeats made him doubt his own ability for the first time.

Luo Luohun is proud, as the son of Yue Tuo, the eldest grandson of the Great Belle Daishan, plus the achievements of the Ming army in recent years. These things are enough to make a young man who is only twenty years old proud and proud, but the confidence he has managed to accumulate over the years has been brutally destroyed by one person in just two days.

When Luo Luohun fled back to his main camp and saw Yue Tuo, his head hung almost to the ground, and he didn't dare to look at his father at all. just whispered: "Amma, the child has disgraced you, you punish the child!" โ€

Yue Tuo was silent after speaking, waiting for his father to rain down his thunderous anger. But something strange happened, Yue Tuo, who has always been known for his strict management of the army, did not blame him, but patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Luo Luohun, it's okay if you lose this time, just get it back next time." โ€

"Father, child, ......" Luo Luohun raised his head and was about to say something, but Yue Tuo interrupted him and said lightly: "Okay, if you have anything to say later, now let's figure out how to return to the camp!" โ€

"Back to camp?" Luo Luohun asked in surprise, and before he could ask about his birth, there was a low drum beat behind him.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

In the sound of low drums, the gate of the Ming army camp was opened, and groups of Ming soldiers poured out of the gate.

The first to come out were still groups of soldiers armed with firearms, and they moved quickly. Almost ran out of the gate of the camp. Immediately the procession began at the gate of the main camp, and it took less than twenty minutes for the two thousand musketeers to form four phalanxes. Immediately pressed towards the Houjin army.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

"Whoa...... Crash...... Whoa......"

The sound of more than a dozen drums being struck together was so loud, and with the orderly steps of more than 2,000 sergeants at the same time. This qiฤ“ made the faces of many people in the Houjin Army begin to change color slightly.

Yue Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the Ming army array advancing slowly and firmly, and the big banner embroidered with the word "Yue" side by side with the Sun and Moon Flag in front of him, his face showed a solemn expression, and he muttered in his mouth: "It turns out that the main general of the Ming army is surnamed Yue!" โ€

Although Yue Tuo only whispered this, Luo Luohun, Kar Chuxu, and several Jia Lazhangjing around him couldn't wait for a crack to suddenly appear on the ground so that they could get in.

Since Nurhachi used thirteen pairs of armored cavalry, the children of the Eight Banners have been fighting with the Ming army for so many years, and they have never fought such a bad battle. The battle was fought until the next day. It is a great irony that even now I don't know where the enemy is coming from, and even the surname of the other party's commander has to be seen from the other party's banner.

Looking at the slowly approaching Ming army, Karchuxu, who was originally impatient, couldn't hold back anymore, and he shouted loudly: "Amma, these Ming dogs don't stay in the camp well, but they take the initiative to run out and die." What's so polite about having the boy take a cavalry from behind and kill them all! โ€

"Kill them?" Yue Tuo snorted noncommittally, and the corners of his mouth turned to the side and said lightly: "You can take a look at the situation around us first." โ€

After hearing this, Karchu looked to the side, and then he didn't know when, the cavalry of the Ming army, which was originally two miles away from him, had quietly approached the right flank less than a mile away from him. Khalchu didn't have to think much to know that as long as he dared to lead the cavalry to attack the local infantry phalanx. The two thousand cavalry on the other side will not hesitate to bread their dumplings from behind. Even a fool will know what will happen to his lone cavalry.

"Amma, what should I do then?" Karchu asked with some frustration.

Yue Tuo took a deep breath and tried to recover his mood before he said: "This time the Ming army won, but he wants to rely on this bit of men and horses to keep us, so he underestimates me Yue Tuo." Hum...... You take two thousand cavalry to protect the left and right flanks of your headquarters. The others withdrew to the camp with Ben Baylor, and we can't stay in this Hunyuan State. Immediately retreat in the direction of Datong Province. โ€

"Chirp ......"

"Uh......h Woohoo......"

As soon as the trumpet sounded, the Houjin army began to retreat in the direction of the camp.

"The whole army presses up!"

In the phalanx of the Ming army, Yue Yang, who was riding on a war horse, commanded two thousand firecrackers to follow Houjin's footsteps and slowly approached. While directing the phalanx to advance, he sent out Ye Bushu to reconnoiter the surrounding situation. After all, the Houjin army is not good at stubble, and the action ability of the infantry phalanx is also notoriously poor.

After all, they are all infantry, and they must maintain the basic integrity of the formation, otherwise if there is no formation, as long as the Houjin army suddenly turns around and kills a horse pistol, he will have to walk around, Yue Yang knows very well that there are too many generals in history who have fallen at the time of imminent victory.

"Yue Tuo is Yue Tuo, although he is defeated but not chaotic, he is worthy of being a famous general in Houjin."

Yue Yang, who put down the binoculars, was amazed. He said to one of the heralds beside him: "Blow the trumpet and order the cavalry to start attacking the rear flank of the Houjin army." โ€

"Yes!"

"Didi Da Da Da...... Click-and-drop ......"

The sound of the trumpet is an order, and when the melodious and high-pitched sound of the military horn echoed in the sky, the cavalry that was originally just unhurriedly following the tail of the Houjin army began to move.

Wu Chengfeng took out the long knife on the saddle and shouted, "Brothers, you have seen enough of the drama just now, right?" The infantry brothers have been fighting for a long time and have wiped out hundreds of Tartars, and now it's our turn to break the fast. Now everyone is following me, rushing ......"

After speaking, Feng Xiaoming's riding boots slammed down, and the spikes behind the riding boots pierced into the horse's belly, and the war horse immediately neighed on the spot in pain and immediately rushed up.

"Kill......"

"Kill......"

Under the leadership of Wu Chengfeng, two thousand cavalry rushed towards the Houjin army with a overwhelming momentum.

Then the Jin army was not to be outdone, and when they saw the Ming army rushing towards them, Kar Chuxu immediately led the two thousand cavalry that had been prepared long ago to meet Wu Chengfeng.

The armor of these two armies was black and gray on one side, and white and red armor on the other, and under the drive of the war horses, the two armies became faster and faster, and soon approached like two sheathed swords.

The sound of neat horses' hooves shook the earth and rumbled, and the knights of the Ming army led by Wu Chengfeng took out their crossbows from their saddles at this time, and immediately aimed them at the front after putting on the crossbow arrows.

The Houjin cavalry on the opposite side was different, inheriting the nomads' skill in riding and archery, they began to take out the big bow from their backs and began to raise their bows and arrows. I only heard a loud shout, and a rain of arrows flew towards the Ming army.

Almost at the same time, the cavalry of the Ming army also pulled the crossbow brackets one after another, and shot at the Houjin cavalry with crossbow arrows one by one.

After shooting the crossbow, the Ming cavalry did not make any other moves, but all of them invariably inserted the crossbow back into the saddle, then bent down and lowered their heads, and at the same time took out the cavalry spear from the saddle and continued to charge.

Just after the cavalry's action last night, the arrows fired by the Houjin cavalry had already descended on their heads, and heavy arrows rained down on the backs of some of the cavalrymen.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk ......"

"Hey ......"

A cavalryman who had been shot in the head by an arrow fell from his horse without saying a word, and the companions who swarmed behind did not stop for a moment, but stepped over him without hesitation, not because they did not want to help their fallen comrades, but because on such a battlefield, the will of the individual has become weak, and if they hesitate or slow down, they will immediately follow in the footsteps of the companion in front.

The dense rain of arrows continued to fall more than ten breaths, and the salvo of the Jurchens was indeed not in vain, but in this instant, nearly a hundred cavalry of the Ming army were hit by the arrows.

The armor of the cavalry of the Ming army is a cavalry-style cuirass made of modern high-hardness steel in Yueyang, in order to reduce weight, it is worse than the Gothic armor worn by the infantry in terms of protection, but if compared with the cotton armor worn by the Houjin cavalry, it is undoubtedly one in the sky and one on the ground.

Therefore, although hundreds of Ming cavalry were hit by arrows, most of the arrows did not cause any damage to the cavalry, so only a few dozen cavalrymen were shot down and dismounted in this round of arrow rain.

The damage was mutual, and at the same time that the rain of arrows from Houjin fell on the Ming cavalry, the crossbow arrows shot by the Ming cavalry also fell on the ranks of the Houjin cavalry.

The power of the crossbow used by the Ming cavalry was not worse than that of the big bow used by the Houjin cavalry, and the powerful penetrating power of the high-strength bowstring and the crossbow made of alloy and the tridiamond-shaped arrow made of stainless steel easily broke the cotton armor worn by the Houjin cavalry.

"Puff...... Puff ......"

In a burst of tooth-aching penetrating sounds, at least a hundred Houjin cavalrymen fell off their horses, and the fate of these people was already sealed when they fell off their horses.

Although people kept falling off their horses, no one in these Houjin cavalry panicked, and they were already accustomed to death, and they immediately drew out the five-foot-long knives on their saddles, and rushed towards the Ming army in front of them with a frantic shout.

The two sides drew closer and closer, and in less than ten seconds, the distance between them was rapidly reduced from two hundred paces to less than fifty paces, and soon the two cavalry collided like two heavy giants.

"Boom...... Puff...... Jingle ......"

In a tooth-aching crash and roar, Wu Chengfeng stabbed the cavalry spear in his hand and the degree of the war horse into the chest of a Houjin cavalryman opposite......
