Seven miles away from Gaoyang, the vanguard of the Ming army led by Li Guodong had arrived and encountered the 5,000 heavy cavalry of the Qing army with Abatai as its vanguard.

Both sides are heavy cavalry. The novel "Who is coming? Come on, please report it quickly. I will not kill the nameless ghost under the sword." There is also the kind of two main generals who came out to fight alone. As soon as the Qing army came up, with the advantage of the large number of people, the five thousand heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners arranged neatly and crushed Li Guodong's cavalry step by step.

In a cavalry duel, the attacking party will not launch a fast charge as soon as it comes up, because the horsepower is consumed as soon as it rushes early. When the horsepower is consumed, the opponent will rush forward, which is a very unfavorable thing. So Abatai plans to let the heavy cavalry walk slowly, and then launch a charge when the distance between the two sides is only a hundred steps left.

Of course, Li Guodong knew Abatai’s trick. He wanted to narrow the distance between him and then launch a charge.

"Report!" A horse galloped over at night without stopping his whistle, "Our army found three thousand Mongolian Tartars five miles away from the left wing! There were three thousand Mongolian Tartars three miles away from the right wing!"

"Jiannu wants to use the Korqin Tartars to surround us!" Li Guodong understood immediately.

If the Qing army simply dispatched heavy cavalry or simply dispatched light cavalry, Li Guodong was not afraid. The most feared thing was the combination of light cavalry. The Mongolian light cavalry was extremely fast and was a long-range cavalry attacker. He could not catch up with them, so he could only watch them harassing the side and block his retreat; his heavy cavalry could not run away from the light cavalry. If the Qing army simply dispatched light cavalry, he would not be afraid. Li Guodong had abused the Korqin light cavalry to a dog, as long as there were no Manchurian heavy cavalry beside the Korqin cavalry, he would easily beat him up to find teeth all over the ground.

"Retreat, don't fight against Jiannu!" Li Guodong shouted. Since the Qing army's light and heavy cavalry cooperated, there was no need for him to fight with the Qing army with his inferior forces. Once surrounded by the Qing army, these 2,600 people were really not enough for the Qing army to get stuck in the gap. Even if some people lost to tear a gap from the Mongolian cavalry encirclement, tens of thousands of Qing troops would soon arrive, and the entire army would be wiped out.

The personal soldiers around him uttered flags, and the two thousand six hundred cavalry immediately turned their horses and retreated in the directions.

Li Guodong's heavy cavalry also has another advantage, which is that he has three horses per man and nearly a thousand horses, and the cavalry are all light and strong vine armor, and the speed is no slower than that of light cavalry.

The two thousand six hundred Ming cavalry turned their heads one after another, and the nearly one hundred Ye Bushou released were all back. The two thousand seven hundred cavalry slowly rode away. Even when they were retreating, these elite cavalry still maintained their formation, with no speed too fast and no chaos in the formation, but maintained their horsepower and moved north in an orderly manner.

Abatai's heavy cavalry distance was further pulled away by the Ming cavalry, but Abatai did not dare to order the speed to pursue. If the heavy cavalry rode his horse and rushed to chase the Ming army at this time, it would probably be exhausted soon. If the heavy cavalry was killed by the Ming army's heavy cavalry, he would be beaten to the Ming army.

The Mongolian cavalry surrounding the two wings had already come into Li Guodong's eyes, and groups of Mongolians were whistling and rushing towards the middle.

This is the land of the Ming Dynasty, but it has become the ranch of the Qing army. This is simply a shame for the Han people!

The Mongolians were getting closer and closer to themselves. When both sides were still 100 steps away, Li Guodong shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

Nearly 100-Ye Wushou Cavalry mixed in the heavy cavalry formation, as well as Li Guodong himself and more than a dozen generals who were good at riding and shooting, they all set their bows and arrows, and rode their bows at a forty-five-degree angle toward the sky. With a loose finger, a round of arrows flew into the sky and pierced down into the dense Mongolian light cavalry formation a hundred steps away. The arrows were still in the air, and the bright generals and elite Ye Bushou pulled the bows and arrows again, and another row of feather arrows flew into the sky and covered the heads of the Mongolians. When the arrows shot in the first round fell into the Mongolian formation, the third round of arrows had already flew out.

In the three-wheeled arrow rain, more than 300 feathered arrows fell into the crowd of Mongolian light cavalrymen. With the neighing of war horses and screams of people, at least 200 Mongolian light cavalrymen immediately fell on their backs and overturned in the cold mud.

A distance of only a hundred steps is very short for the light cavalry. After falling down more than 200 Mongolian light cavalry, 6,000 Mongolian light cavalry had already rushed to the point where there were only twenty steps left from the Ming army.

The Korqin people made strange screams, and round after round of arrows flew over the sky, like continuous rainstorms, constantly falling into the formation of the Ming heavy cavalry. Many Ming heavy cavalrymen and horses were covered with arrows. However, these heavy cavalrymen and horses were protected by armor. Except for a few unlucky cavalrymen who were shot into unprotected parts of the war horses and fell down, the rest of the Ming cavalrymen were intact.

"Boom boom boom" The roar of the three-eyed gun sounded, and some shot arrows at about twenty steps, but did not stop for a moment. They rushed into the Mongolian light cavalry within ten steps left of the Ming army, and spit out bloody flowers, screaming and falling from the horse's back. Some Mongolians, even their horses, were beaten into blood sieves. Among the Ming cavalry, some Mongolians also pulled their bows and arrows and shot arrows at the Korqin people.

"Carrying horse spear, come out!" Li Guodong raised his horse spear in his hand.

The formation of the two thousand seven hundred Ming army cavalry immediately dispersed. From the formation of the Ming army cavalry, two horse-sling cavalry suddenly rushed out, with five hundred people all the way, and suddenly accelerated to kill the Korqinmeng Eight Banners Cavalry.

The Mongols were shooting arrows, but suddenly they saw a team of strange cavalry appearing in the Ming army formation. They saw that the heavy cavalrymen had armor on their bodies, but that kind of armor was different from the armor they had seen before. Whether it was human armor or horse armor, they were all light yellow armor. They didn't look like iron products or cotton armor, but they looked like they were made of plant materials. I don't know if it was wood or bamboo.

In fact, it is a vine armor. The vine armor has a strong defense and is very light. When worn on the body, it will not increase the burden on the war horse, allowing the heavy cavalry to run out of the light cavalry.

Each Ming cavalry was not only covered with armor, but also had a mask on his face and a circle of vine circles around his neck. The war horses were covered with vine armor, horse heads, and horse necks were wrapped in armor, and an arrow curtain was hung around the war horse's neck. The cavalry only showed two eyes, and their bodies were wrapped tightly. They held a long spear in their hands, arranged in dense formations, and rushed towards the Mongolian Eight Banners Light Cavalry.

Although the Mongolian cavalry tunnel was fast, it had just finished shooting an arrow and was turning. It couldn't increase its speed for a while, and was suddenly hit by the cavalrymen with a horse and spear.

"Dog Tartars, go to die!" Zhang Wei pointed the long spear in his hand and took the lead, rushed towards a Mongolian cavalry.

The Mongolian cavalry couldn't raise the speed for a while, and he widened his eyes in horror, looking at the Ming cavalry rushing towards him.

"Die!" Zhang Wei roared angrily, and the horse spear hit the Mongolian. The heavy armor-breaking cone was like a steel needle piercing the thin paper skin, piercing the Mongolian's light armor. The horse spear pierced through the arm, piercing the ribs, and penetrated from the other side. The Mongolian was strung into human candied haws.

Zhang Wei tried his best to pick up the Mongols and threw them out. The Mongols' body flew up and knocked another light cavalry down.

Then Zhang Wei shook his hand and the bent horse lance straightened. As soon as it became straight, he swept a Mongolian light cavalry off his horse.

Five hundred horse-sling cavalry rushed into the formation of the Mongolian light cavalry, and they went all the way, unstoppable. The Korqin Meng Eight Banners cavalry were either chained into candied haws or knocked out. Some Mongolians had their war horses under their crotch were knocked over, and the horse spear was pierced into the body of the war horse. The armor-breaking cone on the head of the spear hit the hard horse bones, killing the war spear to the ground, and the spear rod bent. The cavalry's hand was retracted, and the horse spear rod was pulled out, and the spear rod that had resumed the straightness knocked another Mongolian on the edge.
