Chapter 147 Take the initiative
Julu, Jiazhuang, ten miles to the southeast, in the endless fields.

Pieces of red and yellow armored cavalry were chasing each other and fighting together. Sometimes they gathered together to kill each other, and sometimes they separated. Also flying randomly.

Yang Guozhu brandished the tiger spear in his hand and killed two Tartar cavalrymen in a row. Turning his head, he saw a group of knights surrounded by a group of Mongolian cavalrymen.

Just as he was galloping his horse forward, a javelin flew towards him from a slanting stab. Yang Guozhu held the reins tightly with his left hand, and stretched out the tiger lance with his right hand. It fell off easily.

Zhang Guodong, the general manager under Lu Xiangsheng's command, led a group of knights. He just beat off a group of Mongolian cavalry when he saw Lu Xiangsheng surrounded by a group of enemy cavalry. Opposite Chen An led a group of knights and was blocked there, unable to rush in for a while.

He let out a stern roar, and the knights under his command rushed forward. Just as he stabbed an enemy cavalry off the horse, he saw a flash of cold light on his side, and hurriedly stepped aside, only to hear a loud explosion behind him, and the enemy cavalry who swung a knife at him , the body left the saddle and flew straight back.

When the two sides were fighting inextricably, a large piece of bright red color rushed towards a field about [-] paces away from the south, followed by billows of smoke and dust.

On the battlefield, the two sides that were fighting reacted differently. The red knights saw the arrival of the reinforcements, and they were excited. They howled sharply and charged back and forth.

But the yellow enemy cavalry seemed much flustered, they were evenly matched with Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu and others, at this moment, they saw a strange army ambushing beside them.

Why don't you panic, their formation is obviously scattered, and they are defeated by the knights of the Ming army.

…………

Zhang Cheng led his troops to gallop up to the field, not daring to stop, but shouted: "The rear sentry faces east, and intercepts the enemy's cavalry. Kill... kill..."

He rushed down the dirt bag, but he didn't rush directly towards the battlefield. He predicted that the enemy cavalry would surely retreat after seeing our reinforcements, so he rushed straight to the east of the battlefield.

Chen Zheng and Zhang Guangda led the front post, and the left post followed closely behind him. Only Hu Dake's right post rushed to the battlefield where the two sides were fighting.

The distance of [-] steps is not too far, and it can be said that it will be reached in an instant if the horse is swooped down.

There was originally a group of enemy cavalry, about [-] people, wandering outside the battlefield, riding and shooting to harass the cavalry under Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Guozhu's men. At first, when they saw Zhang Cheng riding his horse down the field, they were going to meet and intercept them.

But in a blink of an eye, they saw nearly a thousand horses roaring down on the dirt bag. They immediately turned their horses around and galloped roaring around the periphery of the battlefield, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Zhang Cheng led all the knights to gallop down, and saw groups of enemy cavalry from a distance, protruding from the melee, they galloped wildly on their horses, gathered together after leaving the battlefield, and fled away in panic.

From a distance, I saw a big man with a square head, riding on a tall war horse, howling to another group of red armored knights, chasing the fleeing enemy riders away.

Zhang Cheng urged his horse to gallop, and ran into a group of enemy cavalry that had just rushed out of the battlefield, about two hundred people. He suddenly raised his right hand, there was a loud bang, and a cloud of smoke rose. , the body soared into the air, and fell heavily to the ground.

During this pause, Chen Zheng and Zhang Guangda rushed to the front of Zhang Cheng, fighting with the enemy cavalry, screaming and screaming, and the horses neighing.

The sound of metal and iron clashing was endless, and the three-eyed guns exploded again and again. In a short while, most of the two hundred enemy cavalry who were already in a panic were cut off from their horses, and the knights scattered around with the team as a fighting unit. Take out those enemy cavalry who rushed out of the melee.

…………

Lu Xiang Shengce was on the horse, looking around, more than [-] cavalrymen of the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner were fleeing in all directions, and groups of Daming knights were chasing them on horseback.

Zhang Cheng came galloping on his horse, and said in a deep voice, "Minister, the captive cavalry have retreated, and this battle has been completely won."

At this time, Yang Guozhu also came galloping on his horse, and said, "Minister Hu, there are two thousand against three thousand in Hushuai's side. I need to rush to help as soon as possible."

Lu Xiangsheng rode his horse and ordered in a loud voice: "Order, Zhang Guodong will stay with 300 men and horses, cut off the heads of the Tartars, gather the Tartars' horses, and return to the camp quickly. The rest, immediately change horses, and go to help the Tigers fight against the captives."

Guo Yingxian ran back far away, shouting all the way: "This Mongol Tartar is really good at riding and shooting, it is impossible to chase him."

Zhang Cheng looked over and saw that he was covered in blood, holding a machete with a long back in his right hand, but he was very majestic. Guo Yingxian ran close and shouted: "Brother Cheng is really here, it's this tartar who can't help beating him." ,Ha ha……"

…………

Ten miles to the north of Julu County, there is Wangjuzhuang, which is located on the west bank of Laozhang River. According to legend, a man surnamed Wang settled here during the Zhengtong period of Yingzong, hence the name. After 200 years of reproduction, it has become a large village.

It's a pity that now it's empty and ruined, without the slightest smell of fireworks, and it's as silent as death.

To the west of Wangjuzhuang is a large field, in which the smoke and dust are billowing, and the horses are galloping. Two armies are fighting fiercely here. Looking from a distance from a height, there is a piece of red and blue intersecting, mixed in the vast gray and yellow land, which is really beautiful.

In the east is a sea of ​​blue armor. Hauge leads the army and horses of the Zhenglan Banner of the Qing army and the Mongolian Deke class of the outer vassal, as well as the He Chenggong Department of the Han army King Gongsun. The Qing army is still in the center of the Zhenglan Banner. He Chenggong is divided into two wings.

About [-] steps to the west of him, there is a red cloud-like Jingqi of the Ming Dynasty. They are divided into two parts, the North and the South. .

In terms of military strength, Hauge's troops are superior, with more than 1000 of them. However, there are only more than [-] elite troops of Zhongzheng Blue Banner in his department. Han army.

When this unit was under Gaoyang City, it was defeated and fled by Wang Pu and other generals under Xuanda's command.

The two sides have fought for three rounds, and it was Hauge's cavalry who charged, while Hu Dawei and others did not fight with them at all. waist.

The captive cavalry attacked Jiang Mingwu's army horse, and he also led the army back, not fighting with him. Hu Dawei flanked the captive cavalry's waist. At this time, Jiang Mingwu led the army to kill back.

After three rounds of contact, both sides suffered casualties, the Hauge tribe's captive cavalry did not take advantage of the slightest, not only did they not take advantage, they also suffered a lot.

But no matter how violent Hauge was, howling like thunder, there was nothing he could do about the Ming army under Hu Dawei and Jiang Mingwu. The two of them followed Lu Xiangsheng's instructions, but stuck to the Qing army under Hauge, resolutely not fighting against him, and sticking to their positions. Waiting for help, attack Hauge together.
