I can't figure out how I was surrounded by people by the Liao River in Guangning, this is already the hinterland of Liaodong, and after crossing the river, it is not far from Shanhaiguan, how did these thousands of cavalry come over?

The sergeants under his command hurriedly formed a formation in a panic and chaos, mixed with the rude shouting and scolding of the superior generals, and dozens of guards drew their knives in their hands, surrounding Qin Kan as if they were facing a great enemy.

Qin Kan rode on his horse, staring blankly at the thousands of cavalry slowly approaching not far ahead, he still hadn't recovered from the shock.

The two armies were not far apart, and the formation of the opposing army could be seen, like a huge half-moon slowly advancing. Their formation was very strict, the distance between men and horses was as if the ruler had been measured, and they wore all kinds of clothes, red, black, white, everything, and experienced sergeants could see at a glance that this was a typical Mongolian cavalry.

How did the Mongol cavalry come here by surprise? Was it a chance encounter or was it premeditated?

The only thing on Qin Kan's mind at the moment was this question. He knew the weight of his identity, which brought him not only glory and beauty, but also prey worthy of a blow from his enemies.

Another thing he looked at was Yang Zhiyong, this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy fully demonstrated his bravery and calmness at the critical moment, and the Qinchalong Banner held high was like a needle that fixed the wind, hunting and hunting on the Saibei Plain where the cold wind was howling, and after a period of panic, more than 8,000 people looked up and saw the flag, and immediately quieted down, and all kinds of drills and movements of holding guns in array were carried out in an orderly manner.

Ding Shun is a thousand households in brocade clothes who are used to eating Taiping grain, and the only experience on the battlefield is the battle of Chongming against the Japanese. Since that battle, Ding Shun seems to have fought with blood and murderous spirit, and later did all kinds of immoral things for Qin Kan that killed people and set fires in the open and in secret, and never blinked.

Seeing the Mongolian cavalry set up a formation and slowly marched, Ding Shun's face turned pale, and then his eyes flashed with anger, and he immediately drew his sword in his hand, and said viciously: "The enemy is a Tartar!" The whole army takes the Qincha Dragon Banner as the center of the circle and forms a formation to meet the enemy! The captain of honor brocade clothes tied a red scarf on his left arm to suppress the flanks on both sides of the military formation to supervise the battle, and those who dared to escape from the battle were killed! ”

When Yang Zhiyong heard this, he raised the dragon flag in his hand higher. The little face was blown red by the cold red. His eyes were full of war.

Ding Shun threw an appreciative glance at Yang Zhiyong, obviously Ding Shun was very satisfied with the child's unhurried performance just now.

"Qin Shuai, Lao Ding is asking you for a person, Yang Zhiyong is a good kid. Let him follow me when I return to Beijing. I trained him out. I will not be able to treat him badly in the future. Ding Shun salivated and smiled.

Qin Kan glared at him and said, "No, this kid will be of great use in the future, and he will only be a small thousand households if he is up to the sky with you." Such a good seedling was put in the capital and wasted. ”

Ding Shun was stunned: "Thousands of households are also called waste? …… My lord, my subordinates have been ruined for a long time, my lord. ”

"You can't, you're not qualified enough, continue to be ruined."

*****************************************************************

At the time of half a pillar of incense, the formation of 8,000 people has been formed, and dozens of grain wagons in the logistics are arranged in a row in front of the formation, which can effectively block the enemy's horse impulse, behind the grain cart is a row of shield soldiers and pikemen, and more than 1,000 cavalry in the honor guard and a small number of cavalry are pressed on both sides of the army.

Two Fran cannons are placed in the array, the muzzle of the cannon is pointed obliquely towards the sky, and there are a few boxes behind to make a good poison gas bomb, after being ambushed in the wild wolf valley last time, Qin Kan learned from the pain, and ordered people to make several large boxes, this kind of gas bomb material is simple, the production process is also simple, basically equal to a cannon battle, but the gunpowder is mixed with pepper noodles.

Qin Kan looked at the Liao River behind him, and his mood couldn't help but be extremely heavy.

The terrain on his side is too bad, this kind of thing is fighting against the water, Han Xin did it thousands of years ago, the effect is very good, and the Zhao army was defeated, but the situation at that time is different from now, the enemy despises arrogance, and the soldiers have the heart to die, in today's situation, does it work?

Qin Kan didn't know how to fight, Chongming's victory at the beginning was nothing more than a piece of courage, and he didn't understand anything about the art of war, strategic formation, etc. But no matter how you don't understand, you can see that this level is not easy today, if there are no reinforcements, you can be sure that you will die. On the vast plains, who can be the enemy of the world-famous Mongolian iron horsemen?

Boom!

Sun Ying, the staff general of the warrior battalion, drew his knife and raised it diagonally towards the sky and shouted: "Bow and arrow ready!" Gunner ready! Spear shield ready! ”

A few miles to the opposite side, a low bull's horn also sounded at the same time, which was the order to attack. Five thousand Mongol cavalry rode their horses and gradually increased their speed.

Qin Kan broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, staring at the Mongolian cavalry who were getting closer and closer with red eyes.

The 8,000 men of their own side were motionless, looking nervous and waiting for the battle, the other side was on the offensive, their own side was on the defensive, and the infantry was undoubtedly looking for death when they charged and fought with the cavalry on the plain.

Qin Kan's gaze was the most focused on his own eight thousand soldiers, and he stared at their every move with some nervousness, even every change in expression.

Defeating fear is more important than defeating the enemy, if everyone is frightened into a plate of scattered sand and flees at this moment, there is no need to fight today's battle, and dozens of guards can only be ordered to cover him across the river to flee for his life.

Fortunately, in the past few days, Qin Kan's approachable attitude towards the soldiers and the constant salary from time to time have reaped good results at this moment.

Eight thousand soldiers were nervous, frightened, and panicked...... There were all kinds of emotions, but none of them threw down their weapons and fled for their lives, the Qincha Dragon Banner stood high in the formation and fluttered in the wind, and the generals at all levels patrolled back and forth to convey orders, and everyone held swords and guns in their hands.

They are still an army worthy of a war.

Qin Kan observed for a long time, and finally felt relieved, and finally dispelled the idea of running away first. If the soldiers don't run, he won't run away.

*****************************************************************

There were still two miles away from the Ming army, and the 5,000 Mongol cavalry began to speed up their horses.

At a mile, the cavalry whipped the horse's hips. At the same time, the scimitars, maces, steel borings and other weapons in their hands were also raised.

At that time, the blockade policy of the Ming Dynasty on the Mongolian tribes, in addition to rice, salt, tea and other living materials are not allowed to trade, the most stringent card is pig iron, without pig iron, the Mongolians can not build swords and weapons, and some small tribes can not even find an iron pot for cooking. As a result, the combat strength of the Mongol cavalry was not reduced. However, most of their weapons were made of wood, and as for the iron weapons, they were captured after the battle with the Han Chinese, and the weapons of each person in a Mongol cavalry team were different. Even tribal leaders are powerless to unify them.

On the vast plains. The Mongol cavalry was getting faster and faster. Getting closer and closer, mixed with strange screams of excitement and rudeness, the sword in his hand emitted a cold light in the sun.

"Fire!" Sun Yingyang pointed flat. Dumbfounded.

Rumble! Rumble!

The two Furlong cannons roared.

After a burst of screams, more than 100 Mongolian cavalry fell off their horses, and before they had time to dodge, they were ruthlessly crushed and trampled by the horse's hooves behind.

The chaos was only temporary, and the Mongol cavalry quickly adjusted their formation during the run, and continued to charge without slowing down.

"Shield, up!"

The square solid wood-clad iron shield depicting the hideous monster moved two steps forward and slammed it to the ground, and the sergeant behind the shield hunched his waist and his feet were in an arrow step, holding the shield in one hand and the short knife in the other.

One mile, half a mile, one hundred steps, fifty steps......

Qin Kan clenched his fists tightly on his horse, trembling slightly.

The moment the two armies collided at high speed, Qin Kan closed his eyes.

Rumble!

The waves crashed on the shore and rolled up a thousand piles of snow.

The piercing sound of gold and iron echoed on the plain, and when Qin Kan opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a place of blood, a place of wailing, and two groups of people who were not dying, fighting for their lives.

The first round of the Mongol cavalry has been the Ming army's formation disrupted, more than a hundred years ago Genghis Khan's invincible cavalry swept through Asia and Europe, still exerting its residual power, although Qin Kan's men are superior in numbers, but in the plain where the cavalry is king, but can only be like a lamb to the slaughter, in vain holding weapons, and then being slashed by the condescending Mongol Tartars.

The screams and blood were mixed together, Qin Kan gritted his teeth, and watched countless soldiers who used to talk and laugh turn into the souls of the Mongols, and he felt extremely frustrated at this moment.

No matter how clever the strategy, no matter how clever the strategy, no matter how clever the mind, what is the point in the face of invincible strength? It's just a joke!

The heavy front was quickly thinned by the cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry was like a sharp blade, slowly advancing in the killing, aiming directly at Qin Kan's Chinese army!

Countless Ming soldiers gritted their teeth and went forward one after another, and even the Overseers on both flanks of the battle array gave up on the Overseers and drew their swords, but they were still ruthlessly strangled by the sharp blades of the cavalry.

As far as the eye could see, there was a blood-red, a wail, and a pair of empty eyes that did not blink.

The victory or defeat was immediate, in the era of cold weapons, the infantry was not the opponent of the cavalry after all, and a charge of thousands of Mongolian cavalry caused half of the casualties of the Ming army, and the rest were still struggling to support.

"Qin Shuai, the front line can't stand it, the left wing has opened a gap for you, the guards will take you to the east, Guangning will have reinforcements, and your subordinates will cut off the rear for you!" Ding Shun was covered in blood, staggered to Qin Kan and shouted.

Qin Kan came back to his senses, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and smiled miserably: "Run? Where can I run? Even if I escaped with my life today, will I be able to escape from the world tomorrow? ”

"Qin Shuai! The time is also, the situation is also, today is not good, and then try to come to the future, your identity is not what it used to be, and there can be no mistakes! ”

Qin Kan's expression changed, and he shouted: "Fart!" Ding Shun, the first day you met me? Since I, Qin Kan, killed the first widow on Chongming Island, when did I leave my brothers and run for my life alone? Do you think I'll lose my life when I'm an official? ”

Ding Shun was stunned, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Today is the only battle to the death! Yang Zhiyong——"

"In!"

"Raise the Qincha Dragon Banner high! People die and the flag does not fall, tell the soldiers, I, Qin Kan, are still there, and the dragon flag is still there! ”

"Yes!"

In the yellow dust and blood mist in the sky, the black and yellow Qincha dragon flag flutters in the wind, and a golden dragon on the flag dances with the wind, and the sacred totem of the Chinese Han nationality shows the world the eternal and unyielding will of this suffering nation.

Seeing that the banner representing the Chin Cha was still standing high in the Chinese army's formation, the Ming soldiers whose morale was declining suddenly felt full of strength, and a desperate roar erupted from the crowd of people who were struggling to resist.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The order flag waved, and the thousand Ming cavalry who had been detouring on both flanks finally launched an attack, and surrounded the Chinese army in a two-and-a-half-moon shape on both sides, but after all, it was not comparable to the combat power of the Mongolian cavalry, and between a few back and forth sprints, the Ming cavalry suffered nearly half of the casualties.

This is the first time Qin Kan has personally experienced such a large-scale battle array, when he fought against the Japanese on Chongming Island, Qin Kan only felt sadness, but now, he felt tragic and heartache.

No one fled, no one was cowardly, the battle against the water has been a situation of endless death, only by fighting for their lives can they have a chance of survival, the number of Ming troops was killed more and more, the opposing cavalry is still wantonly stabbing in the crowd, countless soldiers are unwilling to fall in a pool of blood.

If you are not as good as a person, you are not as good as a person, and the battlefield has always only spoken with strength.

Gradually, the front line has been completely broken through, and two or three thousand people have been laid to rest on this land forever, dying. The Mongol cavalry adjusted its formation and began to advance towards the central army.

In the Chinese army array, Yang Zhiyong, who had been holding the dragon flag high, suddenly slammed the flag into the ground, and then knelt down in front of Qin Kan and kowtowed respectfully three times.

"Thank you Qin Shuai for your cultivation, I'm afraid that the little one won't be able to follow Qin Shuai in the future. These days, the little ones ...... Eat a lot, the little one really wants to live like this forever......" Yang Zhiyong smiled shyly at him, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, his honest face was full of gratitude, but he couldn't find a trace of fear.

Striding and drawing his sword, Yang Zhiyong dodged and stopped in front of Qin Kan's horse, and the five hundred young soldiers and dozens of guards behind him also stepped forward and stood in a row, blocking Qin Kan behind him, and waited for him fearlessly.

Qin Kan felt a tingling pain in his chest, and the immature face in front of him, a thin body, they ...... It's a group of teenagers who have pinned their hopes, their lives have just begun, but they are about to fall in this vast plain.

Raise your eyes and look into the distance, the line of heaven and earth in the distance, empty as washing.

"Any reinforcements?" Qin Kan muttered to himself in distraction.

Ding Shun, who was covered in blood, grinned: "Qin Shuai, let's carry it a little, I'm afraid there will be no reinforcements......"

Qin Kan smiled and said, "Since you have no hope of life, then let's work hard, Ding Shun, give me a knife." ”

"Qin Shuai ......"

Qin Kan smiled gently: "Let the Tartars see, weak scholars can actually kill people." (To be continued.) )
