In the southern suburbs of Zhending, the cavalry of the Qing army and the vanguard cavalry of the Ming army outside the city maintained great restraint on both sides.

The confrontation between the two sides was limited to small-scale grappling and guerrilla, both testing the strength of the other party, and there was no large-scale cavalry confrontation.

"There are more Jiannu cavalry than us, we suffer a loss in the cavalry battle, we can't take any advantage, and there are a lot of shield cars in the Jiannu array, and we can't break the formation by relying on cavalry alone, so we can only wait for the follow-up foot soldiers to arrive."

Cao Wenzhao had fought with the Qing army many times, and he knew the tactics and advantages of the Qing army well, and whispered to Sun Chuanting.

Although they tried to keep their infantry synchronized on the way to the march, the infantry was still a lot slower due to the problem of foot distance, and they basically fell five or six miles away, and it would take a certain amount of time to arrive.

"The Mongolian soldiers who followed the Zhenglan Banner have been attached for a long time, and their combat power is not bad."

The Mongolian Eight Banners are naturally strong and weak, and those that are attached first are naturally stronger than those that are attached later.

Most of the Mongolian cavalry who can follow the Zhenglan Banner are the Mongols who were attached first, and they are basically the Horqin and Urut tribes who originally submitted to Chaha, as well as some Khalkha Mongols.

After the death of Lin Dan Khan, Monan Mongolia was defeated, and Lin Dan Khan's son Ezhe surrendered to the jade seal of the country and knelt down to submit.

Now that Chahar and most of Monan Mongolia have been subordinated, Huang Taiji edited and reviewed the strong men of Karaqin, Tumut and other departments.

Then 300 people were taken as a cow record, 150 arrows were a zuo, and 50 dings were a vest, and a total of 11 flags were divided.

Among them, the Mongolian Niu Lu under the original Eight Banners Manchuria plus the newly attached Mongolian Zhuangding, a total of eight banners, the flag color official system is the same as the Eight Banners Manchuria, led by the minister.

It became the Eight Banners of Mongolia alongside the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

Huang Taiji demanded that the clothing and customs of the Mongols who belonged to him should all be according to the standards of the Jurchens.

They were already indistinguishable from the Eight Banners of Manchuria in appearance, with money rat tails, horse coats and arrow coats, and military discipline was also very strict, much stronger than those of the newly annexed foreign Mongols.

In addition to these eight banners of Mongolia, the remaining three banners are the outer Mongolia, which are the original Karaqin Department, as well as the right wing of Tumut and the left wing of Tumut.

The three banners of Mongolia are also subordinate to the Qing State, but their status is naturally much lower.

According to the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to clash with the cavalry formation of the Qing army, and almost everyone in the Qing army is on horseback, and they only have more than 6,000 cavalry in total.

If the cavalry clashed, regardless of victory or defeat, the cavalry of each battalion would suffer a lot of casualties, which would have a huge impact on the subsequent enemy.

This time, the Qing army entered the customs, and the news came from the north, saying that the total number of Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners plus the Han army was already more than 100,000.

"Force Jiannu back to the base camp and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive before attacking."

Sun Chuanting was as good as a stream, and he had no intention of immediately attacking the Qing army outside Zhending City.

At present, I only saw this Qing army outside Zhending City, and the surrounding situation is unknown, in case there are other Qing troops around, once there is a war here in Zhending, it will become a difficult situation to ride a tiger.

"Set up beams and horses to report the danger of the future, vigilantly monitor the surrounding wind and grass, and explore the surroundings to see if there are slave deviations."

With Sun Chuanting's general order, the Ming troops surrounding the south bank all moved one after another.

Countless red tassels were constantly jumping on the snow in the southern suburbs of Zhending, and on the mile-long line, the sound of drums and horns was endless.

With the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, a large number of Ming cavalry continued to pour into the southern suburbs of Zhending.

And in response to them was the tsunami-like cheers from the mountains above the city walls of Zhending.

Countless soldiers and civilians in Zhending City wept with joy, wantonly venting their emotions - they were saved......

Cao Bianjiao and He Renlong had already left Sun Chuanting's side, leading the cavalry of the camp to guard on the left and right.

Thousands of Ming cavalry wearing crimson uniforms roared across the fields on the southern outskirts of Zhending, like raging wildfires, and quickly swept towards the Qing army's large array.

"This Ming army is not right, send an order to the whole army and retreat to the camp!"

Chasuka's gaze moved from the cavalry of the Ming army on the southern outskirts of Zhending, and he gave the order to withdraw without the slightest hesitation.

But all the guards in Chasuka looked at each other, thinking that something was wrong with their ears.

There are nearly 5,000 of them, and the number of Ming troops in front of them is even less than them, even if you count the Ming troops that are coming in a steady stream in the future, they are only one or two times more than them, why be afraid?

In Liaodong, in Xuanda, which time did they not win more with less?

"Didn't you hear my orders?"

Chasuka's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his sharp gaze swept over the bodies of the guards and generals.

"Wow!"

Seeing that Chasuka was angry, all the generals and guards around him bowed their heads to obey their orders, and no one dared to disobey.

The hierarchy of the Qing army was extremely strict, and it was even better than that of the Ming army.

Higher-level officers can kill their subordinates at any turn, and the banner master, Gushan Ezhen, and Jialazhangjing have the power of life and death over the soldiers and civilians under their command, and it is almost impossible to disobey orders in the Qing army.

"Let the Mongol rangers stay behind the queen."

Chasukal stopped his horse, raised his whip, and gave another order.

In normal times, he would not have given such an order.

After all, the Mongolian tribes have just been annexed, and now the emperor also intends to encircle the Mongolian tribes.

But the current situation is obviously wrong, the Ming army brigade is well-ridden, murderous, and obviously well-trained, so it is natural to let the Mongolian soldiers stay behind and break off.

The Mongol banner owners were nominally equal to the Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen, but in fact they were only vassals of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and they never had the right to speak in politics.

"Woo————"

The low sound of horns and horns slowly sounded in the middle of the large array, and the two wings and the Mongolian rangers who were fighting with the Ming army in the southern suburbs of Zhending also heard the order.

They were stunned at first, and then, after a short silence, they rushed out of the big formation.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Cha Suka's eyes were cold, this time to break through the entrance, in addition to the two yellow flags, the remaining six flags, as well as the Mongolian eight flags, and the two flags of the Han army, basically all of them were dispatched.

Tens of thousands of auxiliaries and followers went south with them, and the combined army had already exceeded 100,000 people.

The Ming army fled along the way, and the main force of the Ming army retreated to Changping to protect Beijing.

In October, they fought several tough battles with the Ming army under the city of Beijing, and although they did not get any benefits, the Ming army did not dare to go too far out of the city.

Then they bypassed Beijing all the way to the south, and after passing through Baoding, they divided their troops into eight routes and attacked the city in all directions.

They belonged to the order of the Right Wing Army, and under the command of the Beylor Yue, they were given the task of plundering Zhending.

When encountering a large city heavily defended by the Ming army, it bypassed, mainly plundering the population and wealth and weakening the power of the Ming state.

Therefore, during this period of time, while attacking Zhending City, Chasuka had already sent troops to rob all the things that could be looted around Zhending.

Although the division of troops and plundering made the results of the battle extremely rich, but after the diversion, the troops on each side were much diluted.

Now there is only one of them around Zhending, and if the Ming army attacks now, they will not be able to get the support of other troops in time.

The Ming army in front of him made Chasuka feel that something was wrong no matter where it came from.

……

"Jiannu wants to retreat?!"

Cao Bianjiao's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and he restrained the war horse that was moving forward, a little surprised.

In Liaodong, as long as the number of Jiannu exceeded 100, they would run rampant in the wilderness unscrupulously.

When he was stationed in Datong, Jiannu also repeatedly broke into the border and plundered everywhere.

Jiannu, who has a huge difference in numbers, will indeed retreat, but at the moment, the difference in numbers is not big, but Jiannu chose to retreat, which is unusual.

"Go around and entangle them."

Cao Bianjiao snorted coldly and ordered in a deep voice.

"Go if you want, come when you want, where do they think this is?!"

Cao Bianjiao has more than 2,000 horsemen under his command, all of whom are elite horsemen in the army, and he is not afraid of cavalry battles.

Jiannu is mostly from fishing and hunting, although he can basically ride horses, but he is not proficient in riding warfare.

The reason why it was able to defeat the Mongols and unify Monan was actually mainly because Lin Dan Khan's operation was too outrageous, and as early as the Laonu period, many Mongolian tribes chose to join.

Those Mongolian tribes are the key to Huang Taiji's ability to pacify the Mongol tribes in southern Mo.

The low sound of trumpets rose and fell in the cavalry formation of the Ming army.

In the southern suburbs of Zhending, the originally tight Ming army cavalry formation suddenly divided into two teams at this moment, like red clouds pressing across the sky at dusk and sunset, and pressed towards the Qing army that was evacuating.

The Mongolian rangers behind the palace came in groups, and the needles between the two were against Maimang, and countless bloody storms were set off in an instant.

Arrows shuttled back and forth between the cavalry formations, and knights on war horses constantly fell off their horses.

The two armies exchanged fires, and the Mongol rangers soon fell to the upper hand.

Although there were many arrows they shot, they were basically ineffective against the Ming army wearing the iron armor, and only when they hit the body of the war horse could they cause a certain amount of damage.

Although the Ming army did not shoot many arrows, and the accuracy was much worse, they did not have the armor as fine as the Ming cavalry.

In the short encounter, the Ming army had already gained the upper hand.

Cao Bianjiao holds the horse lance in his hand, the prancing horse takes the lead, and when he gains an advantage, he must expand the advantage as much as possible.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The sound of the gun rang out, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke rose up, and all the guards and armored horsemen who followed Cao Bianjiao's side lit the three-eyed fire gun in their hands.

The sizzling sound of the fire fold igniting the primer was inaudible under the rumbling sound of the horses' hooves.

In the flash of sparks, most of the Mongolian rangers who were rushing directly opposite were shot into the body by the guns before they could throw the iron bones in their hands, and they fell off their horses with a miserable howl.

Although there were sparse arrows and iron bones thrown at him, all this did not make Cao Bianjiao feel the slightest fear and panic in his heart.

The fierce killing machine swirled in Cao Bianjiao's eyes, and a strong headwind blew through the crimson robe on his body, making a hunting sound.

Cao Bianjiao's beard and halberd were open, and his sword eyebrows stood horizontally, and he was already in the formation of Mongolian rangers in the first place.

Qinghong is like electricity, Cao Bianjiao holds a horse lance, and every move is open and closed.

More than a dozen Jiading cavalrymen wearing Ming armor and water-milled iron helmets followed closely behind.

In terms of single-round bravery, even his uncle's Cao Wenzhao is far less than Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Bianjiao was covered in blood, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and countless Mongolian cavalry fell one after another, and he didn't even dare to pick up his edge.

For the military courage, Cao Bianjiao charged ahead, and the Ming cavalry who followed the charge together were all enthusiastic, and they also rushed straight towards the Mongolian cavalry that came to intercept them.

In the wilderness of the southern suburbs of Zhending, the crimson clouds and the boiling blue tide collided fiercely, stirring up countless blood flowers.

The war horses neighed and rushed back and forth, and when Jin Ge struck each other, countless sparks shot in all directions, and countless knights fell off their horses between the crossings of horses.

Both sides are fast horses and light knives, life and death are only in an instant, and in an instant, the smell of bloody blood has quickly spread in the air.

In the sound of dense hooves like a shower, the cavalry of the Ming army followed Cao Bianjiao like a tide and swept forward.

In just an instant, the cavalry formation of the Mongol cavalry was scattered.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The low sound of war drums suddenly sounded in the large array of the Qing army.

Chasuka's face was cold, and the collapse of the Mongol cavalry behind the palace was all in his eyes, and the reason why the drums sounded was because of his orders.

"The shield cart is outside, and the armor soldiers are behind, and they are arrayed to meet the enemy."

Chasuka's eyes rolled slightly, and after a short period of thought, he calmly issued a new military order.

Zhending is one of the important towns in Hebei, and his ability to be appointed to lead the partial division to attack Zhending has actually proved his ability.

Under the orders of Chasuka, the large array of the Qing army also changed, and one after another the shield carts that were originally used for siege became tools to protect their large array.

One after another black hole muzzles are lined up in the gap between the shield vehicles, and the number of firearms in the Qing army's large array is not a few?!

"Woo————"

The low and melodious sound of the horn echoed over the real eastern suburbs.

Cao Bianjiao and He Renlong each led the cavalry of their headquarters, and they had already cut off the retreat route of the Qing army.

"Phew—"

Chen Wang tugged at the reins and stopped the advancing war horse.

Behind him was a cavalry formation formed by thousands of cavalry, and the duty given to him by Sun Chuanting was to guard the cavalry of the Qing army and receive the cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao and He Renlong.

Chen Wang's gaze swept over the entire battle situation, and the development of things was completely different from the original historical process.

He has led soldiers for several years and fought a lot of battles, and Chen Wang has already guessed one or two things that Sun Chuanting wants to do now, but he still can't believe it.

In the original time and space, Sun Chuanting led his troops all the way north, weighed the pros and cons, and sparsely moved up and down during the march, advocating that the Qing army should not fight lightly, strictly defend, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Although Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were both main battle factions, Sun Chuanting did not approve of a major war with the Qing army, which was in harmony with Yang Sichang's ideas.

But now, all the orders given by Sun Chuanting ......

They all want to eat this Qing army outside Zhending City!
