About a quarter of an hour later, another night was not received: "Brother, my brothers have discovered that the thief cavalry are ambushing the area between Caozhai and Zhongmu. Their vanguard has arrived at Mazhuang Bridge."

Li Guodong said: "It is obvious that the thieves knew that we would inevitably attack. They wanted to attract us to the Caozhai area and launch a decisive battle with us! OK! Then Li will take advantage of the situation. Our army's six thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry attack! Tang Chong!"

"The last one will be here!"

"You lead five hundred light cavalry, everyone brings firewood, immediately go out to the camp to take the lead, avoid refugees, and arrive in Wangzhuang. When you find refugees fleeing back, you immediately set fire on the official road and cut off the refugees' retreat!" Li Guodong handed the order arrow.

"No!" Tang Chong took the command arrow and retreated.

"Zhang Wei!" Li Guodong picked up another arrow.

"The last one will be here!"

"You lead three thousand light cavalry to arrive in the Damengzhuang area first. Once you find the thief cavalry attacking, you will go up to attack and shoot arrows, and you must not be entangled with the thief cavalry! Bring the thief army to the direction of Wangzhuang little by little!"

"No!" Zhang Wei took the command arrow and retreated.

"He Xing!"

"The last one will be here!"

"You lead 5,000 infantrymen to follow Li. When Li defeats the thieves, you will take the infantry to rush forward, capture the refugees as much as possible, and send them all back! If there are thieves approaching, you can form a formation to repel them."

"promise!"

"Han Dashan!"

"The last one will be here!"

"Your plan remains unchanged, but Li will personally lead a thousand horse-slinging cavalry to fight. You will lead two thousand heavy cavalry to follow Li."

"No!" Han Dashan took the command arrow and retreated.

In the central army's tent, only Li Guodong and Cao Bianjiao were left.

"Brother, Li went to the battle in person today, so you can follow me." Li Guodong walked down from above, walked to Cao Bianjiao, and patted his shoulder.

"Brother is really planning! It's a good arrangement, and it's a good plan!" Cao Bianjiao admired Li Guodong so much that he admired him.

"In fact, the most meritorious one is my brothers who did not accept at night. If they were not for them, how could we know the enemy situation? Why did our Ming Dynasty face Jiannu and repeatedly defeat? The cavalry of the night could not defeat the cavalry of the Jiannu, which is a key factor. Jiannu knew our actions very well, but our army was blind. How could such a battle be won?"

"Brother's night is not enough, and he has also installed a lot of detailed works in Jiannu. It's really not easy!"

"Okay, if you have anything to say, come back at the celebration banquet, let's go!"

After Li Guodong arranged everything, Tang Chong's five hundred light cavalrymen took the lead in leaving the camp. His light cavalry each carried a bundle of firewood, and a tiny oil tank was hung on the horse's back. This light cavalrymen left the camp, and did not walk on the official road, but instead took a small path to avoid the refugee brigade of the rebel army, and detoured to the Wangzhuang area behind the rebel army, and just grabbed the official road and cut off the refugee retreat.

The rebel army naturally also sent out a lot of scouts and cavalry, but Li Guodong's cavalry did not suffer any loss against the Qing army. The rebel army's scouts and cavalry were invisible to Li Guodong's sight of the rebel army, which was simply not enough to see.

Li Guodong's 11,000 troops left the camp. Along the way, scouts cavalry kept reporting the location and movements of the rebel army. At the same time, Li Guodong also asked the Ye Bu Shun Cavalry to deliberately relax the hunting of the rebel army's scout cavalry, and intentionally exposed the position of his main heavy cavalry to the rebel army.

Sure enough, after Li Zicheng learned of Li Guodong's central army, he immediately ordered the refugees and the vanguard cavalry to speed up the march and come to Li Guodong's central army.

Li Zicheng was in the army, and Song Xiance was sitting on a cart. The style of the cart imitated Zhuge Kongming's four-wheeler. Song Xiance held a feather fan and looked a bit like Zhuge Kongming at first glance. Unfortunately, his five-short figure was not as good as Zhuge Kongming, who was eight feet tall. He was eight feet tall. Zhuge Liang was a handsome guy of 1.84 meters tall. Song Xiance was like Wu Dalang, with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek, and an ugly appearance. He wore a scarf on his head, a blue shirt, and a feather fan. When he walked up, he looked like a monkey-like man.

Song Xiance shook his fan and shook his head and said, "Wuweibo is resourceful and has strong soldiers and horses. The King of Rebellion must not underestimate the enemy."

"What are the good strategies for Mr. Song to defeat the enemy?" Li Zicheng asked with one eye wide open.

Song Xiance said: "When someone sends an order to let our army retreat and lure the enemy, throw away some broken silver and copper coins to make the enemy's formation chaotic. When the time comes, our army's ambush will surely win a complete victory!"

Li Yan sneered: "If Mr. Song's plan is against Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and other wastes, it is indeed a good strategy to defeat the enemy. But students have heard that Li Lao Er has strict military discipline and has never violated the people. Such a strong army, do you think this trick is useful?"

"Where are people in this world who are not greedy for money?" Song Xiance shook his fan and laughed.

"Yes, man is dead for money and birds die for food!" Niu Jinxing also echoed.

In the end, Li Zicheng followed Song Xianshu's trick and ordered the soldiers to quickly ride horses to the front army to convey his orders.

Li Guodong's three thousand light cavalry opened the way in front, followed by three thousand heavy cavalry. Li Guodong rode a maroon sweat-blooded horse, a purple-gold phoenix winged helmet, a purple-gold fish scale armor, and a big red cloak. He looked like a commander of the army. Compared with the white helmet, white armor, white cloak, white horse, and white horse, it was not only more majestic, but also less eye-catching among thousands of troops. At this time, the rebel army had already had many firearms. If they were dressed too eye-catching, they would be easily attacked by firearms.

"The thief army is here!" someone shouted.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a black line spreading across the sky in front, from south to north, endlessly. When both sides were close, he could see a large crowd of refugees in front. The refugees walking in the front held long wooden sticks sharpened at one end, and some people held wooden shields. Don’t underestimate the long wooden sticks. It can be used as a horse-resisting rifle when they were stuck on the ground. Two people held a long wooden stick at the same time, which was a super long spear. If the cavalry rushed forward, they would be bleeding from their heads.

"Order the light cavalry to assault on both wings!" Li Guodong ordered.

When Zhang Wei got the order, he immediately led three thousand light cavalry out.

The three thousand light cavalry were divided into two routes. The 1,500 war horses on the left moved their front hooves almost at the same time, speeding up to the extreme within just four or five hundred steps. The queue became looser and looser. The 1,500 cavalry on the right also had the same movement. The two routes of cavalry went around a semicircle and inserted straight into the two wings of the black refugee crowd.

As they were about to approach the two wings of the refugees, the light cavalry suddenly turned around and left, and the cavalry bows shot out from the cavalry's hands, and the arrows pierced into the crowd of refugees. Only a scream was heard, and the refugees with almost no armor screamed and fell down a large area.

"Your Majesty, you are using the Mongolian Tartars tactics." Cao Bianjiao sighed.

"Whether it is the Mongolian Tartars or the Jiannu, we must learn their good tactics. To be honest, many of the light cavalry brothers such as Benbo are Han shepherd slaves who grew up on the grassland, and some are real Mongolians." Li Guodong replied.

The light cavalry shot a round of arrow rain, left the refugee crowd, turned their horses and rushed back. Before the war horses rushed to the front, another round of arrows pouring into the black refugee crowd. Then the light cavalry pulled out an arc, left quickly, turned a big turn, returned to shoot a round of arrow rain, and then left again.

Except for some people who had wooden shields in their hands, most of them had only a piece of ragged clothes on their bodies. In front of the riding and shooting, there were groups of walking targets. Three thousand light cavalry went back and forth three times and shot over 4,000 refugees.

"The official cavalry is so powerful! Go quickly!" The rebel cavalry in front of him who was responsible for luring the enemy, shouting, and they also pulled their horses back to run.

Seeing that the old camp cavalry ran away, the refugees turned around and ran away. While running away, the soldiers of the rebels who were mixed into the refugees also threw the broken silver and copper plates in the package on the ground according to the orders. More than 30,000 refugees collapsed in a blink of an eye and began to be defeated.
