These days, Cao Wenzhao can be regarded as suffocating.

Sun Chuanting entered the customs with the Liaoxi infantry and left him in Liaoxi, saying that it was to give him a chance to go straight to Jiannu's lair, but he needed to cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng in Liaodong, and when to send troops, it had to be according to Lu Xiangsheng's order.

At the beginning, Cao Wenzhao led the cavalry to stay in Ningyuan, not daring to make any movement, for fear that Jiannu would find out and destroy the plan.

During the period when he led the cavalry to stay in western Liaoning, Zhou Yuji led his troops to capture Lushun, conquered Jinzhou, and recovered the three prefectures of southern Liaoning. When Zhou Yuji attacked Gaizhou, Tian Ergeng told Cao Wenzhao that he could send troops.

Cao Wenzhao then led the cavalry through Jinzhou to the Liao River and hid on the west side of the Sancha River.

Derge sent a large number of sentinels, but did not cross the Liaohe River to investigate, after all, Derge was going to Haizhou to attack the Liaonan army, and it was impossible to send sentinels to the territory of western Liaoning.

After learning that the Jiannu cavalry had passed, Cao Wenzhao also immediately led the cavalry to set off. From Sancha River to Haizhou, it is only a distance of dozens of miles, for fear that it will be too late to reach the battlefield.

All the way south, the traces can no longer be hidden, Cao Wenzhao sent a large number of sentinels to investigate the situation of Jiannu, and a tragic chase battle was launched between the Ming army sentinels and the Jiannu sentinels.

Cao Wenzhao led 5,000 cavalry, but he pressed the speed and advanced at a constant speed, not daring to run too fast, and he had to maintain the physical strength of the war horse.

Finally, when the sentry reported back to the battlefield in front and learned that Zhou Yujibu had not collapsed, Cao Wenzhao let out a sigh of relief and arrived in time.

This week, Yu Ji is a colleague in the Praetorian Guard of his nephew Cao Bianjiao, as young as his nephew, Cao Wenzhao was originally a little worried about him, worried that he would not be able to stop the slaves, but now it looks pretty good.

When he was ten miles away from the battlefield, Cao Wenzhao ordered a short rest, and the cavalry took off the horse armor from the pack horse and began to put it on the horse and themselves.

There are as many as 10,000 horses carried by 5,000 cavalry, and some of the surplus horses are pack horses used to load horse armor, and the other part is a reserve horse for transfer.

5,000 cavalry, the real elite is only 3,000, of which 500 are heavily armored iron horses, Liaodong horses with water under the crotch, and all men and horses wear heavy armor, which is a real heavy cavalry!

The other 2,500 are wall cavalry, with horse armor on their chests, and the cavalry are wearing leather armor, holding three-eyed fire guns, and Mongolian horses under their crotch, which are considered fire gun light cavalry, but they use the wall cavalry tactics that Cao Wenzhao has practiced for a long time when fighting.

The remaining 2,000 were auxiliaries, responsible for camping and cooking, helping the heavy cavalry to put on armor, etc., and playing a role in assisting in the battle.

With the help of the auxiliaries, the heavy cavalry quickly put on heavy armor, and the horses were also wrapped in horse armor. The Liaodong horses, which are one head taller than the Mongolian horses, are all wearing heavy armor, and the cavalry is holding a long-handled machete, which looks extremely hideous like a war beast in the wilderness.

The wall cavalry didn't need to be so troublesome, they all wore leather armor, and they only needed to reload the three-eyed firebolt with projectile gunpowder and replace it with a stamina stock.

After making preparations, Cao Wenzhao gave an order, the heavy cavalry was in front, and the wall cavalry followed closely behind, rushing towards the battlefield. Two thousand auxiliaries led the surplus horses and followed closely.

A few miles away, the Jiannu cavalry had already been seen rushing over.

Fearing that he would be attacked from both sides by the Ming infantry, Derge chose to launch an active attack on the Liaoxi cavalry, hoping to defeat the Ming cavalry first, and then decide whether to continue to fight the Ming infantry or retreat to Liaoyang.

Haizhou in early winter, extremely lonely, the northeast can see the mountains faintly, the southwest is the waves crashing on the shore, the wide plain between the mountains and the sea, has become the best battlefield, two cavalry, tens of thousands of horses' hooves, stepping on the dry grass on the plain, approaching rapidly.

The Eight Banners are invincible, and all the Banner people think so. Although there were less than 10,000 bannermen in the Derge class, and more than 1,000 were lost in the battle with the Ming infantry just now, there were still more than 6,000 horsemen.

Most of the Eight Banners soldiers have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and almost all of them can ride horses, and their equestrian skills may not be as good as those of the Mongols who grew up on horseback, but they are not much different. So for the cavalry of the Ming army, the Derge class did not pay attention to it at all.

The forces of the two sides are almost the same, how difficult is it to defeat the Ming cavalry?

If this Ming cavalry can be defeated quickly, the Ming infantry in the south will be isolated, and the morale will plummet, and maybe the two Ming armies can be defeated in one battle!

But it must be fast, and the Ming army must not be encircled on foot, otherwise they will only be defeated.

With this in mind, Derge urged more than 6,000 of his subordinates to advance and meet the Ming cavalry, but when he saw the Ming cavalry rushing ahead, his eyes almost burst out.

The cavalry of the Ming army at the front, all of them wearing armor, turned out to be heavy armored cavalry!

The horses are all tall horses, one head higher than ordinary horses, the cavalry are all burly warriors, the horse armor of the cavalry and the war horse, together it weighs a hundred catties, plus the weight of the people and horses, this heavy armored cavalry is really terrible, not your own ordinary cavalry can stop!

Heavy cavalry, which has always been used to restrain light cavalry, is simply invincible when placed on a specific battlefield.

Now that the two sides are too close, and they are hedging, it is too late to avoid these heavy cavalry of the Ming army.

The Eight Banners also have heavy cavalry, and the white-armored guards are also heavy cavalry, which is also an important reliance for the Eight Banners to suppress the Mongols. No matter how good you are at riding and shooting, the feather arrows can't penetrate the armor of the heavy cavalry at all, and you can only be slaughtered.

However, almost all the white-armored soldiers followed the side of the Great Golden Khan Huang Taiji, galloping across the territory of the Ming Kingdom, and among the Eight Banners who stayed behind, not to mention the white-armored guards, there were not even red-armored soldiers.

How could such a cavalry of the Eight Banners be the opponent of the heavy cavalry of the Ming army?

The two sides rushed to pass, and in an instant it was devastating, and all the Eight Banners cavalry that stood in front of the Ming army's heavy cavalry were overturned by the people who were hit, and the Ming army's heavy cavalry waved their long knives in their hands, wantonly harvesting their lives.

On the contrary, the weapons in the hands of the Eight Banners cavalry could only draw a line of fire on the heavy cavalry armor of the Ming army, and they could not break through the heavy armor defense at all.

In the past year, Sun Chuanting has spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and now it has finally shown its edge!

In a short collision, hundreds of cavalry of the Eight Banners were knocked over and cut to the ground. If you fall off the horse at high speed, even if you don't fall to death on the spot, you will be trampled by ten thousand horses, and you can imagine what awaits them. The losses of the Ming army's heavily armored iron cavalry were minimal.

As soon as he survived the impact of the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Ming army, before Derge could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw rows of Ming cavalry in front of him, like a moving wall, rushing towards him.

The wall cavalry, which Cao Wenzhao had been training for a year, finally went out and officially went to the battlefield.

Two thousand five hundred cavalry, divided into three rows, each row of more than 800 people, the width of two miles, almost blocked the way of all the Eight Banners cavalry.

War horses and war horses shoulder to shoulder, almost no gaps, stepping on a unified pace, the speed is basically the same.

In order to achieve coordination, they practiced for a whole year.

Since it is necessary to coordinate it, the speed cannot be too fast, it is just a normal horse speed.

The thin formation looked easy to break through, and looking at the wall of the Ming cavalry in front of him, the Derge class sneered.

Then he saw that the cavalry of the Ming army raised their arms one after another, and the dazzling fire flashed, and then the roar rang out. More than 800 cavalry fired one after another, and the projectiles were fired at the Jiannu cavalry, which had just broken through the heavy cavalry blockade.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides is extremely close, and they are within the range of the three-eyed firecracker, such a close distance, such a dense shooting, in an instant, countless Jiannu cavalry were shot and fell off their horses, and then there were successive loud noises, and the cavalry on both sides collided together, and the people turned over on their backs.

This is a collision of flesh and blood, there is no skill at all, the cavalry of the Ming army is lined up in the shape of a wall, there is no gap between the war horse and the war horse, the Jiannu cavalry is the sound of the dodge has no way to hide, can only watch the rush over.

The fast-galloping war horses collided head-on, that is, no matter how good your martial arts were, you couldn't show it, and the Ming army still had a chance to shoot the three-eyed firearm in his hand, but the Eight Banners didn't even have a chance to call out the weapon.

The sound of "click" sounded one after another, and then the neighing of the war horses, and there was no fancy collision, and a large number of war horses fell to the ground on both sides, and the cavalry on the horses were knocked out of the war horses and fell to the ground.

It's tragic, it's very tragic, it's like life for life!

After the collision, the thin cavalry wall was torn apart, and there were hundreds of Jiannu cavalry who were knocked over by the cavalry wall.

Finally, the riding wall was broken, and most of the Jiannu cavalry still rushed over, but before they could feel lucky, another riding wall appeared in front of them.

"Boom, boom, boom", hundreds of three-eyed fire guns roared into a roar, and the Jiannu cavalry who shot fell off their horses one after another.

There was a loud bang, and the two sides collided with each other again, like countless spears hitting the giant shield, the spears shattered the shield, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

When the cavalry speeds up, everything can only be left to fate to choose, and everything has no choice. For example, the Eight Banners cavalry, if they had a choice, they would definitely choose to bypass the Ming army's heavy cavalry and riding walls. For example, the cavalry of the Ming army, if they had a choice, they were not willing to exchange their lives with Jiannu.

However, everything is not under their control, and the running war horses and the conditional reactions formed by long-term training let them know that even if they rush over and die, they can only grit their teeth and close their eyes and rush forward.

Once again, the fire roared, and once again the flesh and blood collided, the three cavalry walls of the Ming army were shattered, and Jiannu also had countless cavalry souls on the battlefield, and the cavalry on both sides finally staggered, and they all had the feeling of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they were all happy.

Derger looked at the cavalry following behind him, more than half of them were missing, and gritted his steel teeth with hatred. I had the heart to return and continue the battle, but when I looked at the panicked cavalry, I couldn't help but sigh.

A brutal cavalry hedge, even the extremely powerful Eight Banners soldiers are also frightened, and their morale has fallen. The Ming army still has nearly 10,000 infantry coming, and if it continues to fight, I am afraid that it will only be annihilated.

Pursing his lips, Derge no longer hesitated, and led the remaining Eight Banners soldiers to gallop towards the north.
