Chapter 746 Prey
Guo Yingxian saw that he could no longer defeat the northern captives alone, and the horses under his crotch were a little weak due to the long battle, he knew in his heart that if there were any more random clashes, the entire army would surely be wiped out.

The formation was formed immediately, and the elite knights in the front row were ordered to stand by, while the soldiers in the back row quickly checked their bows and arrows, loaded the three-eyed gun with gunpowder, and were ready to fight again.

He looked around at the same time and found a high hill to the west, but the Beilu heavy cavalry was blocked there, while the north and south were surrounded by Beilu Qingqi archers, only slightly fewer Beilu Qingqi in the east.

Guo Yingxian had fought with He Luohui's Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner cavalry for more than half an hour. Although they suffered about [-] casualties, they also killed and wounded more than [-] Beilu cavalrymen, so it was not a big loss.

However, the He Luo club had more than [-] cavalry, even if it lost more than [-] people, there were still more than [-] troops, which was still more than twice the number of Guo Yingxian's troops.

Guo Yingxian called the small school and Mr. Qian who spoke just now to come to his side, and said: "The northern captives are far stronger than me, and their horsepower is not comparable to our army. Now that they are in full swing, they cannot be killed for a while.

For the current plan, the only option is to strike hard, unless the head of the northern prisoner slave is beheaded, it will be absolutely difficult to escape from his siege. "

The two of them said in unison: "But according to the general's order, we will definitely fight to the death!"

Guo Yingxian stared at the Beilu iron cavalry in the east direction, and said in a deep voice: "Behind the Beilu cavalry formation over there is a high hill. After a while, I will lead four hundred soldiers to rush to the east to attract the Beilu light cavalry archers Containment.

After the two of you wait for me to mobilize, you will each lead four hundred sons to take advantage of the situation and rush to the south and north. As long as the northern captive light cavalry archers retreat a little, we will return to the horse and go west, heading straight to the northern captive heavy cavalry formation. suddenly go.

If you are lucky enough to capture and kill the slave head of the northern prisoner in this battle, you can take advantage of the chaos to cover up the kill, return to the main formation and join the infantry camp, or even if it is not good, you will have to rush through the formation and rush to the high hills to the west.

At that time, you can observe the situation around you from a distance, and you will be condescending, and you can attack and defend freely. No matter how bad it is, it will be superior to the current terrain, or it can last for a long time, waiting for reinforcements. "

"Here!" They both agreed in unison.

It was the same junior who spoke earlier, with a puzzled face: "General, we also fought with the Tartars for half a day, how come the Shanxi soldiers and horses behind us haven't come up yet.

Could it be..."

Guo Yingxian stared with big eyes, and the junior quickly shut up, and even lowered his head, not daring to look directly at General Guo.

…………

Guo Yingxian gently stroked the gray-white mane of his beloved war horse, and whispered softly: "Old man, you have gone through dozens of battles with me, from Liaodong to Xuanfu, even when you were a giant deer, you did not abandon me. Our old Guo, now that we have returned to Liaodong, whether we can defeat the enemy or not depends entirely on you!"

After he finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "Get on the horse!"

I saw veteran Guo Yingxian jump on his horse gracefully, then put on his helmet again, and shouted loudly: "Your lord, follow me to kill slaves..."

"Kill the slave...kill the slave...kill..."

Amidst bursts of roars, more than [-] elite cavalry followed closely behind Guo Yingxian and rode their horses towards the east.

The Beilu Qingqi in the periphery also moved after hearing the sound. Their original intention was to prevent Guo Yingxian's troops from joining the Ming army's infantry battalion, and to kill them as much as possible while swimming.

At this moment, seeing Guo Yingxian leading the army rushing towards the east, although they were not in a hurry, they did not dare to let him get out of trouble. They roared and rushed east, not far away from Guo Yingxian and other Ming troops.

Just when the northern captives on the north and south sides of the periphery moved lightly, the two Ming armies each had more than [-] people, and they also rushed to the north and south respectively. Only by fighting hard, otherwise there is no possibility of escape, so everyone is brave.

He Luohui was not at all surprised that the Ming army broke through to the east. In fact, in his eyes, this Ming army had already become a turtle in the urn, but he didn't want to take this Ming army by force, or maybe it was him. Haven't played enough yet.

Just like a hunter playing with his prey, He Luo would now compare himself to an eagle in the sky, and regard Guo Yingxian's Ming army as a rabbit.

Oh no.

It should be a group of rabbits, because they are running in different directions!
Whether it's one or a group, so what?

In front of the eagle, no matter how many rabbits there are, they are not prey, they are just playthings.

He Luohui looked at the fleeing Ming army cavalry ahead, and also urged the horses under his crotch to gallop forward. At the same time, he shouted to a Mongolian general next to him: "Su Li Tujia, you lead five hundred horses and go fast!" Chase Minggou, Ben Gushan will be your defender!"

A healthy and brave Mongolian general next to him yelled to answer the order, yelling and leading half of the Mongolian heavy cavalry to speed up their horses and chase them to the east.

…………

Guo Yingxian rode his horse and rushed eastward for about [-] paces. Their horses were actually not fast, they just advanced at a fast pace, but the Beilu Qingqi who surrounded the north and south sides were indeed controlling their horses and running quickly to intercept them. .

After all, they were also afraid that their reaction would be slow. If Guo Yingxian escaped from their encirclement by sprinting and speeding up, all previous efforts would be wasted, and he would even be punished for it.

At the same time, the Beilu Qingqi on the north and south flanks saw hundreds of Ming cavalry rushing forward, and hurriedly retreated with their horses.

"call out--"

Suddenly, a whistle came, and the cavalry under Guo Yingxian suddenly accelerated, and the horses under their crotches changed from trotting to running. At the same time, the horse's head turned around instantly, turning westward in a beautiful semicircular arc.

"Wh-beep--"

The whistling sounds echoed each other continuously, and the cavalry of the Ming army who had been rushing in the south and north directions also turned their horses at this moment, and accelerated to the west to Gaogang.

Guo Yingxian's Ming cavalry is in the middle, and there are [-] Ming cavalry on each side of the north and south sides. They are like three arrows, speeding up to the west to meet the [-] heavy cavalry of Jialazhang Jingsu Litu of Zhenghuang Banner of Mongolia. Conflict away.

The distance between the two sides was more than 300 steps, but at the moment Guo Yingxian and others pulled back their horses and turned back, they accelerated and charged again, while Su Litu also pursued with all his strength, the distance between them was less than [-] steps.

Guo Yingxian shouted loudly: "Send a message to the two wings, asking them to bypass the captives in front and go straight to the rear of the northern captives!"

In the Ming army, there was no completely unified method of communicating military orders and orders. Basically, each battalion leader and general preferred to form their own unique methods of transmitting messages.

For example, Guo Yingxian used his whistle to convey emergency military orders in wartime with different tones. After hearing the order, the flag commander beside him blew his whistle on his horse.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Shoo-ju-ju-"

The sharp whistle sounded far away, and the Ming army cavalry on the north and south wings had received it, and responded with the whistle to ask whether Guo Yingxian's Chinese army could withstand the [-] Mongolian heavy cavalry in front.

Guo Yingxian didn't respond, he just summoned them to rush to the rear of the Mongolian heavy cavalry!
…………

Jia Lazhang Jingsu tried to stay with Ezhenhe Luohui in Gushan Ezhen, Zhenghuang Banner, Mongolia. He stared at Guo Yingxian's Ming army cavalry from afar, but he never had a chance to fight.

Although Guo Yingxian's troops showed some flaws a few times, he asked He Luohui to fight, but he was not allowed.

Because He Luohui also saw that the Mongolian light cavalry archers clearly had the upper hand, so it is better to let them continue to fight against the Ming army cavalry, and when the Ming cavalry is exhausted, exhausted, and morale is low, then let the heavy cavalry attack. If you defeat the enemy, you can avoid too many casualties.

So he has been suppressing the Mongolian heavy cavalry, only watching the battle from a distance, cheering for the light cavalry archers.

Now Su Litu is like a tiger out of the cage, he has no intention of playing tricks on the Ming army on the opposite side, but wants to defeat the enemy in one battle, and capture the Ming country veteran holding a tiger spear on the opposite side alive, so that he can return to Prince Rui to claim credit.

Although the Ming army on the opposite side was rushing towards him like three sharp arrows, Su Litu was not afraid. He yelled loudly in Mongolian and ordered the cavalry to charge straight to the middle of the Ming army in a dense and sharp formation.

Guo Yingxian saw from a distance that the Mongolian heavy cavalry rushed towards him with a sharp formation regardless of their wings. He was not surprised. The successive victories had already dazzled the minds of Dongnu and Beilu.

I saw him shouting loudly: "Good time!"

The Jingqi of the Ming army, who had been suppressed by the Mongolian Qingqi archers from a long distance, had long held back their anger. They followed behind Guo Yingxian, and also launched a hedge against Su Litu with a sharp formation dedicated to charging.

Guo Yingxian yelled: "Change the attacking pace, dense and sharp formation, the front row holds guns, and the back row has three-eyed blunderbuss at the ready."

Seeing that they are getting closer and closer to the Mongolian cavalry, there are less than a hundred steps left in a blink of an eye. The front row of the Mongolian heavy cavalry on the opposite side is also tightly arrayed.

The back row was a little loose, and they still threw out bursts of arrows from time to time, intending to disturb the elite cavalry of the Ming army under Guo Yingxian, so that the charging cavalry in the front row could take advantage of the gap.

"Turn to the north, rush to the bandit's right wing, and attack the northern captive with the three-eyed blunderbuss!"

Guo Yingxian shouted loudly, braved the arrows thrown by the northern captives, hurriedly turned the horse's head slightly to the north, aimed at Mengqi's right flank and charged straight up.

At such a distance, the cavalry galloped with all their strength, and they arrived in no time. Guo Yingxian leaned forward slightly, protecting his head with the brim of the iron helmet on his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he fixed on a captive cavalry. went up to welcome.

With a loud sound of "Boom!", Guo Yingxian's tiger spear pierced the body of the oncoming captive rider, lifted him high, and left the saddle of the war horse.

And Guo Yingxian's left rib was also cut by the long knife of the barbarian, although no flesh was injured, he still felt a burning pain.

He endured the severe pain, exerted strength from his waist, and then spread it to his right shoulder. Then he saw his right arm swung violently, and the body of the captive cavalry picked up by the head of the tiger spear was thrown aside, hitting a The captive rides on the head of the war horse under his crotch.

"Sorry..."

The war horse under the captive's seat was suddenly frightened, and stopped in the distance with a sudden stop, roaring and raising its front hoofs high, fortunately, the captive rider on the horse was also very elite.

He didn't panic when he was in danger, he clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly to prevent himself from being thrown away, and at the same time he raised the rein sharply to rein in the horse's head, so that the horse knew that he was still under his control, and even more so that his huge body He leaned forward so hard that his chest almost touched the horse's neck.

The captive cavalry regained control of the horse, and as soon as the front hoof hit the ground, he heard a "bang", a bloody arrow spurted out from his chest, and his body was also taken away from the horse's back by a strong force.

"Bang... bang... bang..."

There was a burst of thunderous explosions, and the Mongolian heavy cavalry fell off their horses one after another, instantly disrupting the formation, and a large gap appeared in the middle of its right wing.

However, Guo Yingxian's goal was obviously not on them, and he did not expand the results of the battle. The Ming and Mongolian elite cavalry just passed by.

Guo Yingxian led the remaining [-] fine riders straight to the east where He Luohui was located without stopping. Due to the hedging battle with Su Litu, he was now about [-] steps behind the left and right flanks.

In order to preserve the horse's foot strength as much as possible, he also slowed down the horse's speed slightly, changing from striding and assaulting to running in a hurry. The knights in front of him and behind him also slowed down their horses along with him.

The knights of the Ming Dynasty evenly controlled the horse's reins with both hands, and coordinated with the movement of the horse's head and neck. Their upper bodies also swayed back and forth with the rhythm of the horse's pace, so as to relieve the pain caused by the horse's jolting.

…………

Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhenhe Luohui's eyes were full of inconceivable. He never expected that the Ming army on the opposite side would come up with such a move, and dare to fight back head-on with his heavy armored cavalry.

He looked at the three elite cavalry of the Ming army galloping in front of him. From a distance, it looked like three sharp arrows piercing the heart, rushing towards him.

He Luo will know that at such a distance, the cavalry gallops to them in an instant, and although his heavy armored cavalry is suitable for charge and melee combat, it also has the weakness of slow acceleration and is not suitable for chasing the enemy.

At this moment, that was the case, it was impossible to turn around and speed up to escape.

He looked at the Qingqi archers on the north and south sides who were chasing after Mingqi, and his confidence suddenly increased a lot, and then he saw that Jia Lazhang Jingsu Litu was returning without the [-] heavy cavalry.

Su Litu led five hundred heavy cavalry to pursue Guo Yingxian, and lost nearly a hundred cavalry in just one encounter. However, they also killed and injured more than a hundred Ming army cavalry, so it seems that he is not at a disadvantage.

He Luohui roared loudly: "Form an formation, form a dense formation and move forward, ready to face the battle!"

Under the order of He Luohui, they immediately formed a tight square formation, with a total of five rows in front and back, and each row was filled with nearly a hundred heavy cavalry.

He Luohui was in the middle of the first row. He was flanked by very strong and strong warriors. The horses of a dozen of them were also covered with a layer of leather armor for protection, and they looked extremely fierce.

The cavalry array of the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner slowly marched westward. Although they had just entered the fast-step stage, the sound of iron hooves trampling the ground was not hurried, but it still gave people a full sense of oppression.

Guo Yingxian galloped his horse and saw the Mongolian cavalry coming towards him, he couldn't help being very excited, he shouted loudly: "Boys, we have been teased by the northern captives for half a day, today I want to tell you to wait and see, who is it?" The bitch is the prey!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Hundreds of elite cavalry roared in unison, and their prestige rose.

After hearing the roar from Guo Yingxian, Ming Qi, who was rushing towards He Luohui on both wings, roared in unison, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"kill!"

Guo Yingxian's face was flushed, and he glared angrily at He Luohui, who was riding in the middle, and continued to roar: "Da Ming Wan Sheng..."

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng..."
