With Mang Gurtai's order, the men and horses of the Zhenglan Banner immediately waved their horsewhips and accelerated away from this area.

The loud vibration caused by the galloping hooves of the horses drowned out other sounds.

At this time, the Ming troops who were ambushed on both sides were quietly moving their positions in the woods.

The terrain of this ambush site is relatively open, and the road leading to the front is relatively narrow.

In addition, the Ming army had already been ambushed here once, and the main force with the white flag had passed safely, so Mang Gurtai could not have imagined that there was an ambush by the Ming army here.

Most of the men and horses of the Blue Banner had passed through the area safely by this time, and just as the last quarter of the centaurs were about to pass through here, a large number of feathered arrows were suddenly fired from the slopes on both sides.

Although there were not many cavalrymen who were actually shot down by bows and arrows, this sudden scene still caught them off guard.

Just when they were stunned, suddenly two Ming troops came out from the hillside.

The Ming army was condescending, accompanied by a high-pitched shout of killing, and used the impact force to rush directly into the enemy's formation, cutting off the marching blue flag into two.

The five hundred heavily armored iron horsemen who had been replenished were directly blocked in the middle of the road under the leadership of Zha Huizu. The iron armor of the whole body emitted bursts of cold light at night, making people feel chilling.

The 1,200 blue flags that fell at the end were surrounded by more than 3,000 Ming cavalry.

At this time, Mang Gurtai, who was bent on pursuit, knew nothing about what was happening in the rear team.

By the time he discovered that the Ming army had ambushed his rear team and ordered the army to turn around, Cha Huizu's ironclad heavy cavalry had firmly blocked the road.

Although there are a large number of Zhenglan Flags, due to the narrow roads, their team cannot be displayed at all, and the advantage of being large in numbers naturally cannot be brought into play.

Although the Qing army's arrow rain came as scheduled, these bows and arrows only made a sound on the iron armor of the Ming army, and there was not much actual damage.

After all, in this dark night, facing the Ming army with heavy armor all over his body, only a small piece of his eyes exposed, if he wants to shoot, unless he is on the luck of shit.

Occasionally, feathered arrows could be shot at the junction of the armor, but they only caused injuries to the Ming army.

On the contrary, the Eight Banners who were nested together were pushed back by the Ming army, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry led by Zha Huizu kept waving the big knife in his hand and cut the enemy in front of him off his horse.

In this regard, Mang Gurtai saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

His own troops were nested on the road, and the elite white swing tooth horns behind him couldn't go up, so they could only watch the soldiers and horses at the other end being besieged by the Ming army.

On the other side, 1,200 Zhenglan Banners were besieged by 1,500 "Liaodong Iron Cavalry" and nearly 2,000 Ming cavalry.

This number was also accurately calculated by Li Xianzhong, although with the strength of the Ming army, it could eat some more Eight Banner soldiers, but if the number of enemies was too large, it would greatly delay the time of the battle, and greatly increase the pressure of the five hundred ironclad heavy cavalry that closed the road.

Li Xianzhong and Li Sanshun each led a large army to attack these blue flag tartars.

Most people like to put the stronger troops in front and the weaker ones at the back of the line.

Mang Gurtai is no exception, the four Niu Lu left behind are the weakest in the Zhenglan Banner, and many of them are cobbled together from other tribes, and they don't have much combat power.

And there are almost no white and red pendulums in iron armor among them.

At this time, Li Xianzhong was like a silver lightning bolt passing through the enemy formation, and a silver spear was like a silver snake spitting letters, constantly devouring the lives of the surrounding Tartars.

I have to say that although the equipment of these captives is not as good as that of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. But the combat experience is still very rich, and they soon found that the combat strength of these Ming troops was uneven, so some cunning Tartars deliberately avoided the attack of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and specially picked ordinary Ming cavalry to attack.

They not only use conventional weapons, but also carry throwing axes, short spears, and even throwing weapons such as small hammers and meteor hammers. These weapons were very lethal in hand-to-hand combat, and the cavalry of the Ming army, without the protection of iron armor, as long as they were hit by these weapons, they were either dead or maimed.

These weapons were even more defenseless in the dark night, and many Ming cavalry were hit by these short spears and axes, and fell to the ground in pain and struggled.

Fortunately, there are almost no people carrying the Meteor Hammer, otherwise this thing might have been hit even if it was wearing iron armor.

Li Xianzhong suffered the loss of these hidden weapons last time, so this time he learned wisely, and he did not take the lead, and a large number of Liaodong iron horsemen followed closely behind him.

On the one hand, these people can effectively protect their flanks.

On the other hand, they can also form a powerful shock wave that makes it easier to tear through enemy defenses.

In the face of the Ming army that was three times as strong as its own, the Zhenglan Banner, which was not strong in combat power, could not turn the tide of the war by relying only on these "crooked ways".

At this time, the Ming army had completely torn apart the formation of the Zhenglan Banner, and the captives had to face the front and rear attacks of the Ming army. As soon as a Jianyu blocked the broadsword of the Ming army in front, he was pierced in the chest by the Ming army behind him with a spear.

On the other side, Mang Gurtai, who was unable to attack, only temporarily withdrew his team from the road ahead, and then reorganized the attack.

This back and forth delayed a lot of time, and by the time their elite white swing tooth horn rushed up, Li Xianzhong was already nearing the end.

Zha Huizu knew that the real test was coming.

The White Swing Tooth Lama was dressed in several heavy armors, each of them was an experienced battlefield veteran, and if the ironclad heavy cavalry was barely on par with them in terms of equipment, it may still lack combat experience and physical strength.

After all, these white swing tooth lamas have been fighting all the time, and although the Li family's heavy armored iron cavalry is also selected from many veterans, they have rarely fought in actual combat.

In the previous few battles, although they also encountered Jianyu's Bai Swing Tooth, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry had an absolute advantage in numbers; Moreover, through various layouts in advance, a morale overwhelm was formed, and all the battles were fought with the wind.

This time it was a fair match.

The two divisions of steel erupted into fierce sparks as soon as they collided. The road was filled with the sound of metal crashing and the neighing of war horses.

Soon the weakness of the Ironclad Heavy Cavalry's lack of actual combat experience was exposed, and the White Swing Tooth often attacked from tricky angles. A Tartar's hammer even directly shattered the thin armor of the Iron Armor Heavy Rider, knocking it off the horse.

It was clear that in this exchange, the White Swing Tooth Lama had the upper hand, and the Ming army's ironclad heavy cavalry suffered more casualties.

Fortunately, the road was relatively narrow, and the Ming army had enough troops to make up for it, so that the battle line did not collapse.

However, at this time, the ironclad heavy riders in the back row had already picked up the three-eyed gun.

As the horn sounded, Cha Huizu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the ironclad heavy cavalry who was fighting with these white swing teeth also began to retreat after hearing the horn.

As soon as these white tooth lamas tried to go forward in pursuit, they saw the three-eyed guns that lit the arquebus with a pole aimed at them.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

As a burst of white smoke came out, one by one, the white fangs widened their eyes, looked at the blood hole on their bodies incredulously, and then fell to the ground unwillingly.

This distance is too close, and even if you are wearing a lot of armor, you can't resist the three-eyed gun.

After three waves of fire shot out, the road was already filled with smoke, and dozens of elite white swing tooth horns in front of them fell in a pool of blood.

And the Ming army in front began to retreat under the cover of white smoke.

Mang Gurtai, who reacted, shouted: "The Ming army is going to run, hurry up and catch up, don't let them run!" ”
