Just as Li Guodong was preparing to cut off his arm, sacrifice 1,000 three-eyed cavalry, and even sacrificed all seven hundred cavalry, leaving only one thousand horse-sling cavalry to retreat, he found that the formation of the two wings of Mongolian cavalry suddenly became chaotic, and then he heard the roar of three-eyed cavalry.

"Guanning Iron Cavalry! It's Guanning Iron Cavalry coming!" Li Guodong was overjoyed.

On both sides of the official road, a large group of Ming cavalry suddenly rushed out of the village that was robbed by the Qing army and rushed towards the Mongolian cavalry who were harassing Li Guodong on both sides.

Mongolian cavalry archers are fast, flexible and maneuverable, and are also a kind of long-range combat armies, but Mongolian cavalry is also a kind of crispy skin. Once this crispy skin is suddenly attacked by others, the fate will be very bad. The sudden attack of Guanning Iron Cavalry, as well as the Ming heavy cavalry, which was sandwiched by Mongolian cavalry, actually formed a trend of internal and external attack. Originally, the Ming heavy cavalry was sandwiched by Mongolian cavalry as sandwiched biscuits, but now the Guanning Iron Cavalry appeared outside, and the Mongolian cavalry turned into the scallion in the middle of the thousand-layer cake, and there were Ming heavy cavalry fighting them inside and outside.

Although the Guanning Iron Cavalry's combat effectiveness is slightly inferior to Li Guodong's heavy cavalry and is not as good as the Qing army's heavy cavalry, the Guanning Iron Cavalry can still crush the Mongols to pieces when they fight against the Mongolian light cavalry.

Wu Sangui is on the right side, Cao Bianjiao is on the left side, and there are a total of 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry on both sides, killing the Korqin Meng Eight Banners Light Cavalry and throwing their armor and fleeing in a panic.

"The Guanning Iron Cavalry is here!" Abatai was disappointed with the arrival of the cavalry who failed to annihilate Li Guodong, but he felt happy again. "Since Minggou Nikan's elite cavalry have arrived, then fight to the death today. When Prince Rui comes, he will annihilate the Minggou Cavalry in one fell swoop!"

He found that there were five thousand full Eight Banners heavy cavalry in front of him, and ten thousand Guanning cavalry were so scared that they dared not pursue the Mongols. He just saved Li Guodong and retreated back.

Li Guodong's heavy cavalry was already insufficient in horsepower, and the Mongolian horses that were transferred had long lost their energy. The good horses such as Wuzhumuqin horse, Jinzhou horse, Hequ horse and Arab horse had not recovered their physical strength and were unable to fight again. Otherwise, with his temper, since reinforcements came, he would definitely be the first to rush towards the Qing army with his cavalry, and also increase the morale of friendly troops.

"Hahaha! When did I, Mr. Wu, have you ever fought such a happy battle?" Wu Sangui laughed when he heard the results of his victory, "He killed more than 3,000 heads of the Tartars!"

"General Wu, we all killed Mongolian Tartars, not Jiannu-level." Cao Bianjiao reminded in a low voice.

Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Don't talk about Mongolian Tartar levels, even the Han army flag level! No matter whether it is fake slaves or real slaves, as long as they are Jiannu level, they will be a great achievement."

After a while, Chen Xinjia, who was behind, arrived with 20,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry and 3,000 camel soldiers from Li Guodong. In fact, the total of 30,000 Guanning Army was only a few thousand servants of generals at all levels, and the rest of Guanning cavalry were all the roles of playing soybeans. Among the Guanning Army, Wu Sangui was the strongest and had three thousand elite servants; the other general servants were dozens or hundreds, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry could only fight about six thousand.

Dorgon also arrived with the main force of the Qing army, with a total of more than 50,000 Qing cavalry. In fact, the real heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners was only more than 10,000, and the rest were either Mongolian cavalry or heavy infantry of the Eight Banners.

Among the Eight Banners, the difference between heavy infantry riding and heavy cavalry riding is not very big in appearance. They are both wearing heavy armor, and can be used to fight in cavalry or infantry. However, the horses riding by the heavy cavalry are top-notch horses such as Wuzhumuqin horses, Jinzhou horses, and they have horse armor; the heavy infantry riding and heavy cavalry riding are ordinary Mongolian horses, and there are no horse armor.

Compared with the strength of the two sides, it was obvious that the Qing army had the upper hand. Not only in terms of military strength, the Qing army had 50,000 and the Ming army had only 36,000. Moreover, the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry of the Qing army were both elite, with more than 20,000 elite full of the Eight Banners heavy armored cavalry and infantry. In addition to Li Guodong's 2,700 troops, the elite cavalry in the Ming army also had 6,000 servants and servants of the Ning army, and the horse infantry were Li Guodong's 3,000 camel firearm soldiers. The total number was only more than 10,000 elite, only half of the Qing army.

Considering the huge gap in strength, Chen Xinjia ordered camps and camps to be set up to defend against the Qing army's attack.

Dorgon did not dare to attack the opponent rashly. After all, the Ming army had nearly 40,000 troops, and the main force was the Guanning Army, the old opponent of the Qing army, and Li Guodong's six or seven thousand troops.

"Minggou has set up camps, and our army has set up camps. As long as we stand here for a few days, Shang Kexie will surely break through Gaoyang City!" said Dorgon.

Seeing that the Ming army did not dare to attack, the Qing army began to set up camps and build barracks, preparing to drag the Ming army into a small village less than ten miles away from Gaoyang. As long as it is dragged for three or five days, Shang Kexi's Han Eight Banners soldiers will also break through Gaoyang. At that time, mobilize the Han Eight Banners soldiers and launch an attack on the Guanning Iron Cavalry with the cooperation of the Han Eight Banners firearms, and the Ming army will inevitably be defeated.

Thousands of Baoyi Aha who followed the cavalry dismounted and began to get busy. At this time, the Qing Dynasty was so vast that even Baoyi Aha had horses. Baoyi Aha who followed the Qing cavalry all rode horses, so that he could follow the Qing cavalry at any time and set up camps when he arrived at the place.

Cutting down wood, laying down wooden fences, and building barracks naturally cannot let the noble Manchu-Eight Banners heavy armored cavalry and infantry do it. It can only be done by Baoyi Aha, which requires Baoyi Aha to be equipped with a war horse.

Seeing that the Qing army began to set up camps and confronted them, Li Guodong went to the central army tent and proposed to Chen Xinjia: "Director Chen, the last general will see the Jiannu Han Eight Banners infantry, and they are probably still besieging Gaoyang City. If our army does not rescue Gaoyang, once Gaoyang City is broken, tens of thousands of people in the city will be poisoned. Sun Ge Lao will definitely be poisoned by Jiannu! After Jiannu captured Gaoyang, their Han Eight Banners firearms will be free to attack us! At that time, our army will be defeated!"

Li Guodong knew very well that the Qing army was much stronger than the Ming army for the cooperation of firearms, infantry, light cavalry and heavy cavalry. Now the Ming army has only a single cavalry, and the Qing army has multiple military cooperation, which is only one firearm soldier to besiege Gaoyang. If the Han Eight Banners firearms are freed to cooperate with the Qing army's infantry and cavalry, the Guanning Iron Cavalry's camp will not be able to withstand the Qing army's artillery attack. At that time, the Qing army's heavy infantry and heavy cavalry rushed in and blocked the Mongolian light cavalry on the periphery. The 30,000 troops will collapse on the entire line.

Chen Xinjia also understood that Gao Yang could not stop the attack of the Qing army of the Han Eight Banners. If he wanted to save Gao Yang, he could only rush over as soon as possible. However, 50,000 Qing cavalry camped a mile away opposite, and his 30,000 Guanning Army could defend the camp, but he might not be able to save Gao Yang.

"Guodong, the enemy is numerous and we are few. Our army originally led Jiannu out and asked Jiannu to give up attacking Gaoyang. Who knew that Jiannu was not fooled at all, leaving only the Eight Banners of Han to continue attacking the city, but sent all the cavalry to deal with our army. How can we get through?" Chen Xinjia sighed helplessly.

Li Guodong offered advice: "Duchen Chen, as long as you restrain the Jiannu cavalry here, the last general is willing to lead the troops of our troops to rescue Gaoyang!"

"Okay, then it's up to you! General Li, be sure to pay attention to safety. If you can't save yourself, you can't save your life in vain. I just don't know when General Li will leave?" Chen Xinjia asked.

Li Guodong said: "Jiannu must arrange scouts and cavalry everywhere and pay close attention to the movements of our army. If our army wants to attack the Eight Banners of Han, we must not act rashly. We must first send a night without taking it away, and eliminate the Jiannu scouts and cavalry outside, so that the elite cavalry of the last general can set off."

"Okay, this governor will lend Guanning Army's night time to General Li for use." Chen Xinjia nodded.
