Chapter 113 Repairing Fushun Pass (7)

Huang Degong scoffed at the combat effectiveness of the Korqin Light Cavalry: "This is the case with the Mongolian Tartars, it is simply vulnerable!"

Man Gui said: "Without Jiannu's help, they are indeed vulnerable. Once they join forces with Jiannu, they will be much more powerful. Every time our army is defeated, it is these Mongolian Tartars who are chasing us."

The infantry lined up in the middle of the chariot arrays on both sides, arranged neatly arranged columns, retreating all the way, and the cavalry protected them on both wings, and the army formation slowly moved towards Xiong Tingbi's central army.

"It's really strange. The Minggou striker is almost meeting with their main force. Why haven't the eighth brother arrived yet? I'm afraid that he is too fat and crushed the horse to death?" Manguertai secretly cursed Huang Taiji, a slow guy in his heart.

In fact, Mangguertai was also anxious. He was used to carrying the Korqin light cavalry. He seemed to have forgotten that the speed of the Later Jin heavy cavalry and the heavy infantry riding was far from comparable to that of the Korqin light cavalry. The heavy cavalry's war horses were wearing heavy vests, and then the armor on the cavalry was removed, and the weapons were also camel on a spare Mongolian horse. The heavy cavalry himself rode another spare Mongolian horse. The entire set of heavy cavalry equipment weighed nearly 100 kilograms, and the physical strength of the war horses was limited. The heavy cavalry could not run all the way, and the horse was exhausted long ago. Besides, the heavy infantry riding was one person and two horses, but they were all Mongolian horses. One horse rode, and the other horse carried armor and weapons, and the marching speed was not fast.

The main force of the Later Jin army was Huang Taiji and Lao Nu.

"Ama, San Beile is here to report. The Korqin Mongolian cavalry encountered the Ming army, and San Beile is unable to break through the Ming army formation." Huang Taiji walked to the old slave and knelt down and reported.

The old slave looked at the smartest son: "Eighth Prince, your fifth brother is more brave and lacks wisdom. You are not brave enough, but you are resourceful. You brothers need to cooperate more to be invincible in the world. So, you can quickly hang up with Minggou! Never leave Minggou! I heard that Xiong Manzi is here too, so I will definitely keep Xiong Manzi this time!"

"Zhe!" Huang Taiji fought a thousand and retreated. But he thought to himself: My fifth brother is obviously just to grab credit! He has fought for so many years, don't he know that the light cavalry cannot forcibly rush into the infantry formation?

Huang Taiji immediately led the elite heavy cavalry and elite heavy infantry of the two white flags to rush towards the Ming army.

Seeing that Huang Taiji did not go directly to reinforce Mangourtai, Shi Ertai beside him asked: "Master, aren't we going to reinforce San Beile? Why did we go south?"

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Why do you go to reinforce him? Let's cut off the Ming army's retreat! Anyway, San Beile is also a smart man. After suffering a great loss, he will not step forward again. He just needs to restrain Minggou. Khan Ama said that the fifth brother is brave but not resourceful, but just excuse him. In fact, he doesn't understand the principle of fighting? It's just to seize the merits!"

"Four Beile, Xiong Manzi's main force is moving closer to Gao Manzi's vanguard!" A scout came to report.

Huang Taiji laughed: "It's just right here! More than 100,000 barbarians, there are probably not even 30,000 soldiers who can fight! Among the 30,000 soldiers, there are only 10,000 elite soldiers, right? The rest are vulnerable auxiliary soldiers! Our army has 30,000 elite soldiers! It's not easy to destroy these barbarians!"

Kak Duli asked, "Six Bellers, why didn't our army directly cut off the connection between Gao Manzi and Xiong Manzi? We concentrated our troops to besiege Gao Manzi and let Xiong Manzi divide his troops to rescue him. Our army can surround some and attack aid!"

Huang Taiji pointed to the southward direction of the Ming army: "Now that Gao Manzi and Xiong Manzi are less than two miles apart, how should we surround and attack support? If we surrounded Gao Manzi, wouldn't we expose our backs to Xiong Manzi? Then why would we wait until the two armies meet and our army will surround them all and catch them all in one go!"

Xiong Tingbi's tactical skills have not yet been given a chance to perform. Although Xiong Tingbi had been to Liaodong before, he had been here as an inspector and the power was still in the hands of Yang Hao. Xiong Tingbi's combat level had not yet had a chance to perform. So at this time, not to mention that Huang Taiji did not know Xiong Tingbi's tactical ability, even the officials of the Ming Dynasty themselves did not understand. The information obtained by the Later Jin Dynasty through detailed production only believed that Xiong Tingbi was a strategist and had no idea about his tactical level.

After a while, Huang Taiji's two elite heavy cavalry and horse-riding infantry went back to Xiong Tingbi.

"The heavy cavalry is briefly repaired and restored horsepower! The heavy infantry is wearing armor and ready to attack!" Huang Taiji gave the order.

The heavy cavalry of the Later Jin army dismounted, loosened the reins of the war horses, put the horses to eat grass, and took out beans from the grain bags hanging under the neck of the Mongolian horses they rode, fed them to their war horses, and took off the armor and weapons they had collected from the Mongolian horses, put on the armor, and then sat on the ground for a short rest.

The heavy infantry also dismounted, and the archers put on chain mail on the inner layer and cotton armor on the outer layer; the swordsman and the spearmen put on chain mail on the inner layer, cotton armor on the outer layer and iron armor on the outer layer and iron armor on the outer layer! These are three-thick armored dead soldiers, ready to launch an attack. However, before the attack, they sat on the ground and rested for a short time.

Seeing that his soldiers were almost resting, Huang Taiji pulled out his sword and pointed forward. "Kill!"

"Kill!" The thick armored heavy infantry stood up from the ground, jumped onto the horses they rode, whipped the horses, and rushed straight to the Ming army's rear formation. At the same time, the heavy cavalry also boarded the horses and followed the heavy infantry to attack the Ming army's rear formation.

When the heavy infantry riding horses charged towards the Ming army formation, they rode horses, and the short Mongolian horses that were riding without vests. Aren’t they afraid that the Mongolian horses would not rush in front of the Ming army? Naturally, they could not rush in front of the Ming army, but they were heavy infantry, not heavy cavalry, so they rode horses just to shorten the distance with the Ming army. These heavy infantry rushed over on horseback just to save the physical strength of the heavy infantry. When there were twenty steps left before the Ming army, the heavy infantry riding in the Later Jin army turned over and dismounted.

"Kill the barbarian!"

"Kill the Ming Dog!"

After group of heavy infantry wearing thick armor dismounted, they immediately formed a dense formation and rushed towards the Ming army's rear formation.

The Ming army's rear formation was filled with miscellaneous soldiers who were pieced together by the military households of various Liaodong military households. When they saw a large group of ferociously-looking heavy infantry in the Later Jin rushed over, the auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers turned their heads and ran away.

When the heavy cavalry of the Later Jin frightened the Ming army away when they saw their heavy infantry, they rode their horses and accelerated and chased the Ming army infantry behind the fleeing everywhere. Where could the two legs of a man run past the four-legged Wuzhumuqin horse? In a blink of an eye, the Ming army that fled in a panic were caught by the heavy cavalry of the Later Jin flickered. As the sword light of the tiger-toothed sword flashed, the heads of the Ming soldiers fell to the ground one after another. The cavalry trampled past the crowd, and the Ming army that was knocked over and flew away was trampled into flesh mud by the heavy cavalry of the Later Jin flew.

The fleeing Ming army desperately fled to Xiong Tingbi's battle flag, but before they could rush to the battle flag, they were blocked by a traffic wall.

"Let's go over!" The defeated soldiers begged hard, hoping that the Ming army soldiers on the chariot formation could move the chariot formation out of a gap and put them into the chariot formation.

"Those who dare to collide with the central army will be killed without mercy!" Xiong Tingbi roared.

Arrows were shot from the chariot formation, shooting the Ming army auxiliary soldiers who were hitting the chariot formation into hedgehogs. Behind the chariot wall, spearing spears like poisonous snakes spitting out the Ming army auxiliary soldiers who were slapped against the chariot wall, one after another, overturning the Ming army auxiliary soldiers who were slapped against the chariot wall into a pool of blood.

The heavy cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty caught up and was about to hit the car wall. The heavy cavalry stopped the war horses and stopped less than ten steps away from the car wall.

A Later Taurus Lu Zhang Jing looked at the protruding wooden nails on the car wall. He knew that he could only destroy the precious heavy cavalry in vain. So the Later Jin heavy cavalry turned his head and walked back, preparing to wait for the heavy infantry to break the formation.
