Due to the narrowness of the valley, a thousand heavy cavalry of the Ming Dynasty were divided into several formations.

On the slopes on both sides, there were also some horsemen who abandoned their horses. The reason why the kneeling and squatting posture is adopted is because the slope is large and the standing is unstable.

Chen Ziyi came behind the first batch of heavy cavalry and asked loudly: "Is there any deduction for food?" ”

"Nope!" The heavy cavalry replied in unison.

Chen Ziyi asked again: "Is there a shortage of clothes?" ”

"Nope!"

"You take the highest military salary in the Ming Dynasty, eat the best food in the whole army, and distribute clothes and quilts in winter, can the court treat you lightly?"

"Nope!"

"The Jin country on the opposite side is barbarian, burning, killing, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil. If you let the Jin people kill your hometown, they will rob you of your food, your land, and your wives and children. Even if you are a submissive citizen, you must shave off the hair given by your father and mother and put on the clothes of the left side. And endless conscription and food requisition! Do you say yes? ”

"No!"

"For the sake of Daming, for Your Majesty, for the protection of parents, wives and children. Do you dare to fight to the death and kill the enemy today? ”

"Dare!"

"Dare!"

"Dare!"

"The heavily armored knights who died in battle today are all generously compensated. For those who have children, the court chooses a son to support until Taixue. For those who have no children, the court will adopt a son on their behalf, pass incense to them and support them to Taixue! But what are the regrets? ”

"No regrets!"

"No regrets!"

The soldiers who climbed the hill to observe with binoculars had already raised their flags, and Chen Ziyi shouted: "Beat the drums, charge!" ”

"Kill!"

The heavy cavalry of the Ming Dynasty started slowly, and even after accelerating, the charging speed was still relatively slow.

Because they were in dense formations, the cavalry and cavalry were spaced less than half a meter apart.

Chen Ziyi actually used the most exquisite heavy cavalry as a consumable to carry out a "wall" charge.

This is because although the equipment of the Ming army's heavy cavalry is sufficient, the combat skills, combat experience and tenacity are insufficient. Then don't think about anything else at all, and hedge directly in the narrow valley with a dense formation with Hezha Meng'an.

Looking at the Hezha Meng'an of the Jin Kingdom, their spacing was much larger, and even due to the terrain restrictions, the cavalry spacing was only compressed to less than one meter.

As for what the three horsemen are connected by ropes, and the horses are dragged behind to show that they will not retreat, these are all nonsense content in the music of the civil official (Wang Ruohai, the main battle faction), which is used to describe the horror of the Jin Guotie Futu. Then, it was quoted by the "Three Dynasties and Northern Alliance", and became a symbol of the Iron Floating Massacre more and more widely.

The two sides are hedging closer and closer, and those in the Jin Kingdom are a little at a loss.

Because of the spacing of the heavy cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to accommodate the golden cavalry to pass through, and it was obviously a suicidal collision.

Wanyan Lou Room, who was standing on the slope behind and observing, finally saw the situation of the Ming heavy cavalry clearly, and a wave of fear rose in his heart for no reason.

Hezha Meng'an is indeed not afraid of death, but in the face of death, can they still move forward?

What's more, they had been frightened by the wooden cannons, and their retreat was blocked, and there was a defeat for friendly forces when they retreated.

When the two sides should enter the final sprint, there are a few Hezha Meng'an who did not choose to speed up, which is almost a knee-jerk action in the face of death.

Even the heavy riding of the Ming Dynasty, who wrote a suicide note in advance, some people were afraid.

But the terrain can't sweep left and right, let alone turn around and escape, so they can only bump into each other.

"Boom!"

The collision of heavy cavalry, which is rare in a century, appeared in this nameless valley.

It's tragic, but it's not as tragic as I imagined.

At the last moment, the two sides coincidentally chose to slow down, and only sporadic reckless men really accelerated the sprint.

The four-meter spears stabbed each other, and with the strength of the charge, many heavy cavalry immediately fell backwards. The horses that had lost their owners continued to move forward and crashed into each other after automating their deceleration. In order to prevent collision, some war horses even stood up and kicked at the opposite war horse with their front hooves.

There were also cavalrymen who had fallen off their horses, and men and horses collided with each other. The horses under the crotch were either killed or wounded, and both dead and wounded fell, and the cavalry also fell off their horses.

The heavy cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was more closely spaced, and the troops of a single charge were naturally more, and the lucky ones successfully penetrated into the gap between the two horses, pulled out the secondary weapon on their waists and began to slow down and fight on horseback.

Jin Guoxiao, who was in the rear as an auxiliary, saw the tragic situation of the heavy cavalry in front of him, and he didn't know how to fight for a while.

They were unprepared, subconsciously stopped their horses, and threw at the rear of the Ming Dynasty.

Da Ming Xiaocai, who was kneeling on the slopes on both sides, shot towards Jin Guoxiao from a long distance. The Da Ming Xiao cavalry, who followed behind the heavy cavalry, did not carry the main battle weapon at all, and when they rode close to the scene of the "car accident", they jumped off their horses one after another, pulled out their secondary weapons and rushed to the battlefield.

Some people use iron rods, some people use bones, and some people use iron maces. When he met Hezha Meng'an, who was still fighting on horseback, he fell down and smashed the horse's leg. When encountering Hezha Meng'an, who fell from a horse and did not die, those who struggled to stand up knocked down together, and rushed over when they were lying on the ground and moved.

Jin Guoxiao finally reacted, stopped shooting arrows and charged to the battlefield.

But they couldn't rush to speed at all, first, the charging distance was too close, second, there were many ownerless war horses in front of them, and third, they were shot by the Ming troops on the hillsides on both sides, and they purely wanted to come over to help their allies.

The surviving Ming heavy cavalry, supported by the Xiao cavalry, picked up the spear and stabbed it diagonally upward.

Soon, the survivors of each other were fighting each other again. Jin Guoxiao, who lost the speed of his horse, was smashed and fell down one after another, and those who were not entangled were so frightened that they hurriedly reined in their horses and fled.

Wanyan Lou's room became pale, and the Ming cavalry's gameplay was to exchange his life for his life with Hezha Meng'an.

How many Jurchen people are there in total?

And how many people are there in Daming?

The heavy cavalry of the Ming Dynasty and Hezha Meng'an, not to mention one for one, even if it is two for one and three for one, it can be accepted.

What's more, due to sufficient tactical preparations made in advance, this time the heavy cavalry fought to the death, and Hezha Meng'an died more.

In this wave just now, the Ming Dynasty invested 200 heavy cavalry, and there were more than 40 people who could continue to fight. Fifty or sixty others fell from their horses and were broken, or fell and were seriously injured, or passed out.

The 120 people who were invested in the Jin soldiers were all spared, and those who survived the hedging were all stoned to death with blunt objects.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In the center of the battlefield, the heavy cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, which could still stand, relied on the cavalry to roar in formation. It is not only a declaration of victory, but also a cry of excitement for the rest of the catastrophe.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Other Ming troops near the battlefield followed suit, and the sound of victory resounded through the valley.

Wang De was standing on the wall, pretending to be still fighting in the siege of the city, but he had just witnessed the heroism of the heavy cavalry, and his eyes were moist and he raised his iron shovel and shouted ten thousand victories.

The second wave of Ming heavy cavalry has been moving along the Xu Xu Wall.

"Withdraw, you can't fight here!"

Wanyan Lou's attitude towards the Ming army has changed from the initial vigilance to the horror after the wooden cannon salvo, and now the Ming army is regarded as a lifelong enemy.

The available soldiers under his command, after the encounter of the vanguard troops when they returned to help, and then experienced this valley charge, and the wounded left behind on the march, at this time there were still left: more than 1,400 Hezha Meng'an, more than 1,600 Liaodong Han infantry, more than 4,200 Jin Guoxiao cavalry, more than 800 Jurchens, and grassland light cavalry.

In total, there are more than 8,100 remaining troops.

The golden soldiers quickly left the valley mouth and ran west along the foothills.

Chen Ziyi led the troops to chase after him, and sent Xiao to ride up to shoot arrows to harass them, delaying the transfer speed of the Jin soldiers. When the ordinary cavalry of the Jin State counterattacked, they went up to fight hard, and when they encountered Hezha Meng'an in armor, they immediately alternately covered the retreat.

At the same time, the cavalry was sent to the south to tell Zhang Guangdao the direction of the withdrawal of the Jin soldiers, and to inform Yang Yun in the southeast to bring Xiao cavalry over to converge.

Wanyan Lou led the army to withdraw two miles away, and Wen Du Sizhong, who had explored the mountainous terrain, finally sent light cavalry to rush back: "Wanhu, there is a place not far to the west, where it is easier to pass the cavalry. ”

Wendu Sizhong did not find the most suitable place to march, it was too far west. Moreover, in the middle of the "eight" shape, there is a mountain extending to the south, even if Wendu Sizhong finds it, he has to go south in the direction of Zhang Guangdao's main force, and then go around to the northwest.

"Speed up the march!"

In order to deal with Chen Ziyi's attack, Wanyan Lou Room left some cavalry of small Jurchen tribes and the remaining grassland cavalry behind.

These cavalry were hindered by the prestige of Wanyan Lou's room, so they had to turn around and deal with the pursuing Ming army.

Just cruising and shooting a few arrows, they don't want to fight.

Why can the other cavalry withdraw, and they have to stay and die?

"Spare your life, we are willing to surrender!"

Squad after team of cavalrymen in charge of the broken rear threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

The main force of Wanyan Lou's room rushed to Wendu Sizhong, and was guided by the light cavalry responsible for exploring the terrain, and divided into two groups into different ravines. Immediately, the whole army dismounted and climbed the mountain beam, and Hezha Meng'an also began to take off his armor, and the war horse carrying the all-armored heavy cavalry galloped wildly, and at this time he was so tired that he was foaming at the mouth.

Chen Ziyi led his troops to chase after him, and also dismounted to attack the mountain beam, and even Wang De's first camp rode to attack the mountain.

Further south, Zhang Guangdao's main force was still marching rapidly.

The cavalry sent by Chen Ziyi reported: "The enemy army is heading west, probably planning to escape over the mountains!" ”

"The artillery stays, the vans stay, and the rest of the troops march with me!" Zhang Guangdao immediately ordered.

The reason why the army marched with wooden cannons, and not with gun mounts with wheels, was due to the fact that the whole battlefield was rugged, but it was the four men who ran the fastest with the barrels.

In the two mountain passes to the north, hundreds of foaming horses galloped out after being wounded.

Those were all top-level war horses carrying Hezha Meng'an armor all the way to gallop, they couldn't withstand the next climb over the mountains and mountains, Wanyan Lou ordered to be slaughtered on the spot, and would rather die than leave it to the Ming army.

Nearly 1,000 good horses were killed on the spot, and many of the hundreds of horses who escaped with injuries were forced to escape.

"You stay and guard these two mountain beams!" Wanyan Lou said to Han Chang.

Han Chang opened his mouth, stopped talking, lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

More than 1,600 elite infantry of the Han people in Liaodong became the outcasts responsible for the break.

The armor of Hezha Meng'an was carried on a spare war horse at this time. Together with Jin Guoxiao, they rode down from the two mountain beams, into the ravines further north, and then continued to climb the mountain beams.

"Big brother, the Jurchen barbarians don't treat us as human beings!"

The Ming soldiers attacked the mountain beam, and Han Chang's subordinate Yang Sui began to complain.

The soldiers nearby also looked at Han Chang, and they were unwilling to die after the break.

Han Chang didn't know how to choose, their family was small, and they were all in the hands of Wanyan Zonghan. Moreover, they have a blood feud with the local Han people in Shanxi, and even if they surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that they will not end well.

But the soldiers were unwilling to stay and die, and Han Chang insisted on fighting, and it was estimated that there would be a mutiny.

If you run away on the spot, even if you can escape back to the territory of Jinguo, you will be dealt with by military law.

The world is so big that there is no place for the Han children in Liaodong.

The Ming soldiers had already shot arrows under the mountain beam, and Han Chang gritted his teeth and said: "Go to the northeast and go over the mountain, and go to the north of Yuxian County to fall into the grass!" ”

Soon after the Ming army began to attack the mountain, the Jin army's broken troops ran away, and deliberately avoided the direction of the withdrawal of the Yan Lou Room.

Wanyan Lou had already climbed another mountain beam, looked back and saw it clearly, and said angrily: "After the various departments select the dead to come out, there will be at least 1,200 people, except for Hezha Meng'an!" ”

This was an order to the chiefs of the various tribes, and each tribe should have a person, and the families of the deceased would certainly be given preferential treatment.

A moment later, the dead were chosen, and stood silently on the mountain beam.

Wanyan Lou Room can take away, only more than 1,400 Hezha Meng'an, who has lost the main warhorse, and more than 3,300 Jin Guoxiao horsemen and light horses.

Zhang Guangdao arranged the battlefield for more than a year, but he still failed to wipe out all the golden soldiers.

Counting the defenders of Yuxian County, Wanyan Lou Room lost tens of thousands of troops!
