"Yes." Zhang Neng didn't hesitate at all, and ordered the three thousand cavalry to stay behind.

Gao Yigong and Ma Chongxi took advantage of the darkness of night to retreat eastward with the main force of more than 30,000 cavalry.

After walking less than ten miles eastward, Zhang Neng led a small number of remaining soldiers to catch up and was wounded.

Looking at Zhang Neng whose face was covered with blood, Gao Yigong asked in a voiceless voice: "Zhang Neng, your three thousand horses were eaten so quickly?"

"General Zhi, here are the elite cavalry of the Ming army from outside the pass, and there are at least 50,000 of them!" The dark night gave the Ming army an excellent cover, which also caused veteran generals like Zhang Neng to misjudge.

Of course, the main reason was that the Ming army's cavalry had too much firepower.

The standard equipment of the Ming Army cavalry is already a rifle and a short blunderbuss.

The intensive firepower coupled with rapid reloading caused Zhang Neng to make misjudgments.

"50,000 cavalry?" Gao Yigong was startled and quickly ordered the troops to withdraw eastward at full speed.

By this moment, Gao Yigong had completely lost the courage to fight the Ming cavalry.

As a result, the full-speed retreat quickly turned into a rout. Nearly 40,000 cavalrymen fled eastward along the canal. As a result, they encountered Gao Ligong who was fleeing back in embarrassment near Bali Bridge.

Gao Ligong's 500 Qingqi were reduced to less than 50.

"Second brother, hurry up and catch up. Don't fall behind. Behind us are the Ming cavalry!"

Gao Yigong didn't even bother to ask Gao Ligong if he had destroyed the railway.

Because to the Dashun Cavalry, it no longer matters whether the railway was destroyed or not.

The top priority is to get rid of the Ming cavalry behind them as soon as possible and bring these more than 30,000 and nearly 40,000 elite cavalry back to Shanxi. The main cavalry in the rear camp cannot have any accidents. This is the only elite cavalry left in the Dashun Army.
