The Ming army was covered by shields, and in the face of the light arrows of the Mongols, there were carts to cover them, and they were almost unscathed.

On the contrary, none of the Mongol soldiers were heavily armoured, at most some leather armor, which had some effect on sword scratches, and could not protect against firearms, arrows, and spears at all.

The Mongolian soldiers fell, some people were anxious, and began to throw throwing axes, most of them were blocked by carts and shields, and they also had the strength to split the shield and fall on the sword and shield soldiers, and the power was greatly reduced under the effect of resistance, and the sword and shield soldiers were already wearing heavy armor, and at most they were slightly injured.

As the distance got closer, a handful of Tartars who rushed to the cart and the fence tried to cut the rope with their knives, only to be stabbed by the spears that came out of the back of the cart.

At this time, a few drums were heard, and two squares rushed out from the north and south, with the long rush phalanx in the north and Jiang Bi's heavy infantry in the south.

Although the number of the two phalanxes was reduced by more than half, it was much easier to deal with the Tartar dismounted infantry than against the dead soldiers of Jiannu and the Bayala Protectors.

It was invincible to attack the Tartars with a phalanx of spears, and soon opened up the large array to the north of the Tartars, and the guns entered the flesh. The Tartars were so badly wounded that even the Horqin Commander was killed.

The Tartars attacking from the south were no better, and the heavy side side was faster to attack, but the damage was not as great as that of the spear phalanx. After disrupting the southern Tartar army, it quickly charged northeast.

The phalanx of spears to the north turned southeast. Seeing that the situation was not right, Gerry hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat, and the two phalanxes chased after each other, and just rushed out of the half-mile road, and were killed by Zhao Shujiao and 250 Ding cavalry for a while.

Col dismounted 4,000 men, 800 of whom were killed in battle, and the rest swarmed to find the horses.

But where can I grab it~

Under the fire of the Ming army and the counterattack of the cavalry, the Mongols' horses were in chaos, and the 1,000 cavalry that had been covering fled directly.

Gerry also escaped by fighting to the death, and the two big axes have long been lost to where they were thrown, and these Ming troops are stronger than them in long-range shots, and they are much stronger in hand-to-hand combat.

He hurriedly fled with his people, only to find that the Ming army was not pursuing.

can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but even if he is asked to fight these Ming troops again, he will not dare to blindly step forward.

......

Of course, Wang Hongyu did not love war here, and captured thousands of horses, and there were originally many ox carts, but at this time the empty camp was abandoned, half of the infantry had horses and ox carts, and half of them hurried to the Liao River on foot.

He knew that his forces were at a disadvantage, and it was okay to fight the Mongols alone, but if he fought a direct decisive battle with Jiannu, he would inevitably be surrounded and defeated by the enemy.

Therefore, if you are afraid of the Mongols, you will accept it when you see it.

In particular, the white flag and the blue flag have no shadow at all just now, which is very worthy of caution.

The roads leading to the Liao River are all official roads, wide and flat, and the infantry on horseback and ox carts can take a short rest to make up for the lack of rest in the past few days and last night.

The 1,500 people on foot are also elite, which is suitable for the training of sleeping and resting on the march invented by Wang Hongyu.

When the march began this morning, Wang Hongyu began to arrange the matter of sleeping on the march. Most of the Yugoslav army has experimented, and several trilateral armies have also dabbled in it to some extent, so it is not difficult to train.

It was the soldiers in the front who cheered up and led the way, and the soldiers in the back grabbed the clothes of the people in front of them, closed their eyes and fell into a state of light sleep, and their legs walked mechanically with neat steps.

This time, in order to make the road under his feet suitable for sleeping during the march, Wang Hongyu sent several waves of wreckers and wreckers: the car was loaded with some astringent soil, followed by a few people under the car, and the stones and dry soil blocks encountered on the road were cleaned up; Encounter a mound shovel on the car; Encounter soil pit landfilling, compaction.

Several cars took turns to clear the road, and the marching team behind Baozheng would not lose their feet because of the potholes on the road, and there had been a similar accident during the training at that time, and this time it was not allowed to appear again.

After walking more than 20 miles in one day, the soldiers were full of energy, not only did not get tired from the march, but also eliminated a lot of fatigue from the previous period.

In fact, the White Flag and Kerry had already converged, and were following 10 miles behind.

And Mang Gurtai's blue banner had already been fought by the Ming army and the Mongol soldiers, and he did not hesitate to run away from the dead horses, but also desperately grabbed the front of the road.

This is the power of Jiannu, the marching ability is very terrifying.

After the Ming Dynasty, take the wild roads and paths, and you can also go around to the front of the Ming army that is marching quickly.

In Salhu, Fushun Pass, and Kaiyuan Tieling, a hundred miles suddenly appeared in one day, and this tactic was tried and tested repeatedly.

Now, Mang Gurtai also went around to the front of Wang Hongyu, preparing to ambush and encircle, and complete annihilation in one fell swoop.

Liaodong is relatively arid, the south and east of the mountain have long sunshine hours and arid, and there are only jungles on the slopes of the mountains; The northern slope of the mountain is shady, with little water evaporation, and generally large pine trees grow.

It is a lonely mountain, which cannot form a mountainous environment and cannot gather water, so there will be no large forests, and there are often larches, poplars, and thorns on the shady slopes.

It is said that during the spring daytime, there should be many birds gathering in a place like the woods.

However, the Ming army did not hear any birdsong.

Wang Hongyu was alert, and when he saw this terrain, coupled with the Mongolian cavalry retreating behind, the white flag and the blue flag never appeared.

He guessed that Jiannu might take advantage of the detour he had just completed and ambush him in front of him.

Zhang Mingshi, Zhao Shujiao, Zhao Hannian, and Zhou Yijie were convened for urgent discussion.

Everyone agreed that time waits for no one, and it is necessary to cross the mountain stream as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more chasing troops on the side, at least there are still 3,000 Horqin Mongol troops in Gerry behind, and whether Jiannu will increase the number of troops in the follow-up is still two words.

In the end, Zhao Hannian said that he was willing to take 200 people to explore the truth first, and the rest of the people followed from afar.

Zhou Yijie said that he walked this road and was familiar with the terrain, and was willing to go with Zhao Hannian, even if he was dispersed, he could go to Liaohe to move rescue soldiers.

Zhang Shenwu's 3,000 Liao subordinates were in Guangning, and 1,000 of them were Liu Ling's subordinates, all of whom he knew. These 3,000 people may have rushed to the vicinity of the Liao River.

Zhao Hannian and Zhou Yijie took 200 arquebuses, three-eyed guns and their personnel of various arms, as well as a few veterans who followed Wang Hongyu to the mountains and forests for training.

Less than 2 miles into the valley, Zhao Hannian instructed everyone to observe the terrain and woods on the north and south slopes with their eyes, including the jungle on the north slope, to see if there were any abnormalities.

Use the trained hearing to listen to various sounds, including bird calls, and whether there is any abnormal movement of birds; whether there is the sound of horses stomping on the ground and wheezing; There are traces of people and horses walking by.

The first to be found were broken sack pieces and the residue of horse manure and horse urine that had been cleaned by people. The trail was traced into a ravine to the south, and then the hoof prints of rotten leaves and grass were found on the ground as the horse stepped uphill, and some of the sacks that had wrapped the horse's hooves had fallen off.

Zhao Hannian's analysis: War horses are stored in the pine forest not far from the foot of the southern slope, because the pine forest has few thorns, and the horses are easy to enter and exit.

Walking out of the ditch, Zhao Hannian felt a gust of wind blowing from the west of Yuli, which turned out to be a northwest wind.

Wang Hongyu has instructed everyone, and at this time, they should follow the method of special training to seize the upper hand and carry out fire attacks.
