Abatai and the others pursued all the way, and before they knew it, they had left Hetuara fifteen miles.

At this time, Li Yongfang came galloping alone, and he said breathlessly: "Lord Yue, the foot of the Eight Banners is too fast, and our Han army is already a little unable to keep up; I didn't see the shadow of the Ming army along the way, I'm afraid there is a deception, should we let the sentry cavalry investigate the situation in front before continuing the pursuit? ”

Abatai looked at his son-in-law with disdain, and thought: These Han troops are really useless, so they have been left behind.

So he said: "I have already sent sentry horses to explore the road in front, these Ming troops are as timid as rats, I think they don't dare to fight our army head-on, so they specially cut off the heads of those old and weak so that they can go back to lead the army." ”

"Obviously, the Ming army is fleeing, and at this time I stopped and waited for your Han cavalry, wouldn't it be a delay in the fighter?"

At this time, a sentry said: "Master Qiqi, we found traces of the Ming army in front, but it was too dark for us to see their exact number. ”

Hearing that he had found the trace of the Ming army, Abatai's eyes lit up, and he pulled out his sword and shouted: "Eight Banner warriors, those Ming dogs who killed our people are ahead, follow me to kill them, don't let them escape!" ”

At this time, Li Yongfang, who looked helpless, had no choice but to stay where he was, waiting for the arrival of his own troops in the rear.

Abatai and his party did vaguely see cavalry moving in front, but the enemy loomed but could not catch up, and they fired arrows in front of them without the slightest success.

However, after chasing for a while, Abatai and the others also had to stop, because there was a fork in the road ahead.

Abatai knew that they had come to a place called the Double Fork, more than 30 miles south of Hetuala; There will be a fork in the road that will last more than ten miles, but eventually both will converge in the same place, Abu Darigan.

Dividing troops to pursue is a taboo for soldiers, although the two forks in the road are not long, but they are still quite dangerous.

If there was an ambush by the Ming army on one of the roads, they would not be able to support each other.

Soon Abatai had the two junctions illuminated with torches, and sure enough, there were numerous intricate horseshoe prints on the road on the right; The road on the left has only sporadic horseshoe prints.

Abatai snorted coldly and said: "The commander of the Ming army is nothing more than this, and he can't even use the most basic suspicious tactics. The whole army was ready to pursue with me from the road on the right. ”

At this time, Niu Lu Zhen Chaha said: "Master, the horses of the Han army behind are not good, their riding skills are poor, and the night march is estimated to have been thrown away by us for several miles. It's almost dawn, so it's better for us to rest for a while and wait for the Han cavalry to converge before pursuing, so it's safer. ”

Abatai said: "Those Han troops are too squeamish, and when they catch up with us, it won't be long before they can't keep up with the team; When the time comes, not only will it not be able to help, but also let go of the Ming army in front, and without waiting for them, the whole army will attack immediately! ”

After Abatai and the others left, Li San led people out of the nearby hillside by the way.

It seems that the major general's prediction was not wrong, this black light is blinding, and Abatai really does not dare to risk dividing the troops.

So he had people keep cutting down trees to block the road, and at the same time he sent signal arrows into the night sky.

After seeing the signal, Li Xianzhong hurriedly led the army to set off from another road, and in this way, the cavalry led by Abatai and Li Xianzhong advanced in opposite directions on the left and right roads.

Soon after, Li Yongfang, who was late for Shanshan, finally led his army to the double fork.

Seeing that there were two junctions, he immediately ordered the army to stop.

At this time, Li Sanshun, who was on the mountain, looked extremely nervous, and he found that there was actually a fatal loophole in this arrangement.

Although the road on the right is blocked, as long as Li Yongfang is a little more careful, it is not difficult to find that there are no horseshoe prints on the road on the left, and it is easy to deduce that the road on the right was blocked after Abatai left.

If he sees the clues, then this tactic will be in vain.

Looking at the trees on the road on the right, Li Yongfang said, "A few of you go and see, can these obstacles be removed?" ”

Several soldiers walked over with torches held high and said, "Qiqi Fu Xi, there are too many trees in front of you, and there are huge stones, it is obvious that someone has deliberately blocked the road." ”

Although the road is blocked, it is strange to look at it, but since Abatai did not clear the obstacles on the road, it is clear that he went to the other side in a hurry.

At this time, Li Yongfang had been left behind by Abatai for a long distance, and he was afraid that he would never be able to catch up with him if he continued to ink, so he soon ordered his soldiers to march towards the road on the left.

Obviously, Nurhachi did not take a fancy to Li Yongfang because of his military ability, this Fuxi forehead did not choose a path of no return.

On the other end, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry led by Li Xianzhong was desperately rushing forward; Time is of the essence now, and although he believes that the gift he left for Abatai will definitely make him choose to continue to pursue the Ming army south, but now that the sky is a little bright, I am afraid that he will not be able to deceive him for too long.

Zha Huizu said at this time: "Young General, this is the first time you have led the army to fight with Jianyu, so let's let the last general lead the ironclad heavy cavalry to take the lead in the battle." ”

Although Li Xianzhong is a person of later generations, he also knows that the Li family in Liaodong has always had a tradition of charging themselves, such as Li Rusong, Li Ruzhang, Li Rumei, etc.

It is not only Nurhachi and those Houjin Baylor who can lead the army to charge, and the Ming Dynasty has never lacked commanders who can personally go into battle to kill the enemy.

Although there is a greater risk in doing so, it can quickly make the soldiers return to their hearts and burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, which is also one of the reasons why the Li family's Liaodong Iron Cavalry is invincible.

Although Zha Huizu was well-intentioned, Li Xianzhong still rejected his request and said: "Uncle Cha forgot, yesterday I also fought with the Tartars of Zhenghongqi and captured and killed 40 people. This is the first time that Ben will lead the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to fight, and there is no reason to fight the vanguard, this is not the tradition of my Li family! ”

Then Li Xianzhong swung his spear forward, shouting: "Brothers, kill the Tartars with me!" ”

Soon these Liaodong iron horsemen burst out with a shout of "kill the captive, kill the captive"!

Li Xianzhong ignited the morale of the army in just a few words, and at this time Zha Huizu was also very satisfied with the performance of this young general, after 20 years, it seems that the Li family is finally going to be a good general.

At this time, the sky was close to dawn, and Li Xianzhong and Li Yongfang's men and horses soon met on this narrow road.

Compared with Li Yongfang's surprise, Li Xianzhong did not hesitate at all with his Liaodong Iron Cavalry; The mountain road is not spacious, and it can barely allow seven or eight horsemen to pass side by side, and there is a road that is narrow to meet the brave to win, and hesitation is fatal at this time.

Although the sky was not yet fully bright, and only a general outline could be seen, many years of experience in the war told Li Yongfang that the Ming army galloping on the opposite side must have come.

How could it be the Ming army, where did the people of Abatai go?

It's a pity that Li Yongfang doesn't have time to think about this.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and the gasps of the other horse's horses can almost be heard.

Fortunately, Li Yongfang and others couldn't see the whole picture of the Ming army, if they found that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry opposite them was all composed of ironclad troops, it was estimated that they would be directly frightened, and they would not even have the courage to fight!
