When Nikan led the 10,000-strong Eight Banner army arrived, he only saw that the battlefield had just passed by a fierce battle. In this narrow area between the three rivers, there were corpses of people and war horses, swords, guns, weapons, arrows everywhere, and lodging flags could be seen everywhere. "The Five Thousand Mongolian Eight Banners were wiped out! How powerful are these Ming dogs?" Nikan gasped.

The Mongolian light cavalry is relatively strong in the open area, much stronger than the Green Camp soldiers, second only to the combat effectiveness of the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers. However, the Mongolian Eight Banners light cavalry, which was introduced into a narrow area, blocked at both ends, and lost high mobility, is a scumbag in front of the heavy cavalry. Not to mention the heavy cavalry, the Mongolian Eight Banners light cavalry, which lost high mobility, was not even as good as infantry.

When Nikan and his friends arrived, there were two Ming naval fleets on the rivers on both sides heading north along their opposite directions. Nikan ignored the Ming naval divisions because these two rivers sailed seven miles northward, which was a small river that could not be navigated. The Ming army fleet could not attack the Qing army outside Yangzhou through these two rivers. Since it was a dead end, Nikan ignored it.

Who knew that he would continue to move south, but found that there was a dead end ahead, a river crossing the north and south, and the Ming cavalry had long disappeared.

Shuoerhe said: "Master, Minggou is probably more than two thousand cavalrymen! They must be unable to escape from crossing the river, and it is hard to say that they may have taken a boat to Jiangnan."

"Since Minggou has run away, then we will clean up the bodies of the Mongolians and report the matter when we go back to see Prince Yu." Nikan said. After a big defeat, he felt very uncomfortable. Although the losses were all the Mongolians, Korqin Mongolia is the most iron-core brother in Manchuria.

Just as the Qing army cleaned the battlefield and lifted the Mongolian corpses on the horse's back to pull them back, a scout came from behind, galloping over and shouting from afar: "Master, Master, Master, something is wrong! Ten thousand Mingdog cavalry appeared behind us!"

"Ah?" Nikan was shocked, "Ten thousand Mingdog Cavalry? Where did so many cavalry emerge from Mingdog?"

The information Dorgon received before was that when Li Guodong was the most powerful, he had more than 10,000 cavalry on hand. However, so many years have passed, the war horses he brought back from outside the Great Wall were old and old, and the camels were almost dead. There were only more than 3,000 elite cavalry left, and the rest became infantry. God knows where the Ming army got so many war horses from? There is no place to raise horses in the south, and the Qing army's intelligence personnel did not obtain the news that Li Guodong raised horses.

But Dorgon didn't know that Li Guodong's horse farm was on an isolated island overseas. The news obtained by the Koreans who had defected to the Qing Dynasty was that the Danluo Island of North Korea was taken away by the Japanese pirates by the Qing Dynasty's attack on North Korea eight years ago. North Korea sent troops many times to steal back to the Danluo Island, but every time the Korean navy faced the Japanese navy (actually the Zheng family's navy division), they always returned in a crushing defeat and could not even board the island. Not only that, the Japanese also became more and more aggressive, using the excuse that North Korea attacked the Japanese territory of Danluo Island, and repeatedly sent Japanese pirates to invade North Korea's coastal areas.

North Korea faced Japan, but the defeated generals of a thousand years ago. At the most critical moment, China sent troops to rescue North Korea? If it weren't for China, North Korea would have been destroyed dozens of times by Japan. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent troops to attack Silla. If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty, Silla would have been destroyed long ago. Later, the Tang army destroyed Goguryeo, helped Silla destroy Baekje, and Silla unify the peninsula.

Most of the Japanese pirates who raided the Korean coastline were real Japanese, and a small number were Zheng's army, but the North Korean army could not defeat the Japanese pirates at all, and many of them were killed and looted.

With Zheng Zhilong's influence in Japan, it was just a matter of one sentence to ask the Japanese to deal with North Korea.

In this way, the Zheng family army completely controlled Danluo Island, and Li Guodong spent more than 5 million taels of silver to introduce horse breeds from Europe and raised horses on Danluo Island on a large scale. Zheng Zhilong saw the dividends that could be obtained in future wars and also invested in the horse farm, so Li Guodong had those tall and perverted European war horses.

Nikan suddenly remembered: "The Minggou Cavalry must have been transported by the fleet just now! They blocked our retreat! This is dead land, surrounded by water on three sides, so we can only rush out!"

At this moment, the Ming Navy fleet turned around and returned and went down the river.

When the fleet appeared on the river surface of the Qing army on both wings, there was a roar of cannons on the river surface, and the whistling shells continued to fall into the formation of the Qing army's eight banners. Every shell hit it, a bloody storm could sweep away.

"We've fallen into the trap! rush out!" Nikan shouted anxiously.

At this time, the Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry no longer cared about the bodies of their allies. The cavalry dropped the bodies of the Mongols who had already been on the horse's back, rode on war horses, and launched a fierce attack towards the Ming cavalry that blocked their retreat to the north. However, most of the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers did not ride horses, but rushed towards the Ming cavalry on foot with tiger spears.

Most of the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers are horse-riding heavy infantry. When chasing opponent infantry, they are cavalry, but when facing opponents' powerful cavalry, they are spearmen and archers. In fact, every Manchu Eight Banner soldier is a versatile, both heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, and archers. The Manchu Eight Banners defeated the Mongols with horse-riding heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, and made the Mongolian surrender.

What surprised the Eight Banners soldiers was that when the Ming cavalry in front walked to the narrow part of the peninsula, they did not rush over, but dismounted and let the war horses squat behind. The Ming cavalry lined up, and each cavalry held a musket in his hand, aiming the black muzzle at the direction of the Qing army.

This is the dragon cavalry, which is actually a kind of musketeer riding horses. They can give up fighting in battles, put war horses in front of them, and then ride on horses to retreat after a row of guns. They can also ride on horseback and wield sabers to chase and kill defeated enemies, or use short guns on horseback to kill enemies.

"Horse-riding musketman?" Nikan was stunned, "Sons, rush up! Their muskets will be reloaded for a long time!"

The Qing army changed the formation of infantry in front, charged forward with heavy cavalry, followed by hiking archers, and rushed towards the formation of the Ming army's dragon cavalry.

A distance of one hundred steps, ninety steps, eighty steps, and when there were seventy steps left, Wang Fuchen's personal soldiers shook his flag: "Let it go!"

A thousand self-generated muskets made a deafening roar at the same time. The dense flintlock bullets drilled into the group of heavy cavalry rushing over the Qing army, stirring up a splash of blood mist, and the heavy cavalry people were rolling on their backs.

At the same time, the navy on the rivers on both sides also fired fire, and the shells continued to fall into the formation of the Qing army's heavy cavalry, smashing the pieces of the Manchu Eight Banners heavy cavalry and their men and horses into pieces.

"Retreat!" Wang Fuchen shouted.

Instead of loading bullets, the Dragoon quickly turned around and jumped onto the back of the war horse squatting on the ground. When Dunhpo saw his master riding, he immediately stood up and ran away.

At a distance of seventy steps, with the charge speed of the Qing army's heavy cavalry, it can reach it in just about ten seconds. However, the Ming army's dragon cavalry was too fast and quickly accelerated and fled. Then the second row of dragon cavalry shot, after a round, they immediately boarded the horse to evacuate; then the third row of dragon cavalry shot, and after the bullets were fired, they ran away.

The heavy cavalry of the Qing army failed to catch up with the dragon cavalry, but was attacked by the light cavalry of the Ming army.
