A few days later, in early November of the second year of Chongzhen, Zhao led his 4,000 cavalry troops, all the way from Santun Camp to the west, and rushed to Zunhua.

This is the military order issued to him by Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, when the Imperial Court learned that the 100,000 army of Jurchens was approaching Zunhua. For this military order, Zhao Li had a feeling of going to death. , But also without the slightest hesitation led the army to the west.

Zhao Liaojiao was one of the most capable fighters in the north during this period, and he was called a great fighter alongside Man Gui, but Zhao Liaojiao was not valued by Master Yuan. In Legion, Liaodong, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang is the kind of Master Yuan Du’s love.

Otherwise, how could such a military order to aid Zunhua fall on him? Everyone knows that in this era, the Ming army faced the Jurchen Group and couldn’t get out of the city at all, and could only rely on city to defend it.

Zunhua itself does not have heavy soldiers. Facing the 100,000 army gathered by Huang Taiji in one go, almost the Eight Banners are eager to fall down. Does his trifling 4,000 cavalry have a bird use?

Even if you enter Zunhua early, facing the siege of a hundred thousand army is a dead end, if you encounter it in the wild…it will be miserable indescribable.

Even so, Zhao Lijiao came with a posture of martyrdom.

Arriving at Santun Camp last night, Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, refused to allow his cavalry to enter the camp to rest. His four thousand cavalry soldiers just took a rest outside the camp. They marched for three or four days. Leading the army to teach the army, it can be called exhausted and tired, not eating well and rest, Essence, Qi, and Spirit are very depressed.

When Zhao Li taught the horse galloping and hurried to Zunhua, a hillside in front of him was still at the end of his line of sight, and the sound of horses hoofs resounded in the north and behind him.

Zhao Shujiao was anxious immediately, and he was in an ambush. It seemed that he was about to die outside of Zunhua City.

In eagerness, Zhao Zongbing constantly asked the soldiers to give orders, and led a large group of troops to spare a circle, wanting to meet the Tartar soldiers from the north to the south.

He rode his horse from east to west, and he was attacked by a tart from north to south during the march, and he could directly disperse his cavalry. As for the hoof of the rear brigade? It was able to catch up with the situation and get the scattered Liaodong cavalry in one go.

Various military orders are transmitted through the sound of bugles and drums. With the effort of Zhao’s army to turn around, the Eight Banners soldiers from the north and the south have been greeted by pressure and are rushing in at a rapid speed. .

“On the north is the yellow flag, boundless, maybe Brother Hao led the team, and the rear is the blue flag, haha, Tarzi really looks up to me this Zhao!”

Huang Taiji After ascending to the position of Khan, I took the white flag of Du Du and gave it to Brother Hao, and changed it to a yellow flag.

He himself changed the white flag he led to the yellow flag. The two yellow flags belonged to the main force of father and son Huang Taiji. As for the yellow flags and the yellow flags led by Duduo and Azig It is the white flag and the white flag inlaid.

Mangultai, one of the four Baylors, is currently the owner of the Zhenglan Banner.

Jurchen One Banner, there are seven thousand five hundred men, and the main force of the two cavalry forces add up to fifteen thousand. Even if these thousand five miles are more than armored infantry, there are thousands of cavalry in the wild. In the ambush, three or four thousand Liaodong cavalry was fetched by fifteen and eight banner soldiers, really Dazi?

When Zhao Lijiao showed despair, the chief soldier furiously shouted, “Kill Taroko!!”

In the roar, Zhao Li’s doctrine did not hesitate. Leading elite soldiers rushed to the army of inlaid yellow flags.

The many guards on the side of Zhao Zhijiao, after hesitating, quickly followed his own commander to his death generously, which led to more cavalry charge.

As a rare warrior in the Liaodong Group, Zhao Shijiao is a realm who can earn enough money by killing one before his death, and earning by killing two.

Looking down from the sky, two cavalry teams, one north and one south, are about to dash and collide. First, there are rounds of arrows pouring from the elite layers of yellow flags. In just one round, hundreds of Liao soldiers cavalry were shot, and the arrows of Liao Dong soldiers only brought out ten-twenty disabled figures.

When the two cavalry teams passed each other, the Liaodong soldiers had fallen three-four hundred men, nearly 10% of the number, but the yellow-flag cavalry had fallen by dozens, not a hundred.

This is already a field battle, and the Ming army can be regarded as a dazzling result. How many Tartars were killed by the victory of Ning Jin who was blown to the sky by Yuan Chonghuan? Every one who fell here was a Jurchen Tatar, not a Mongolian soldier or Han slave soldier.

However, I saw that the yellow-inlaid heavy infantry regiment in the north had come to besiege from the south, the Zhenglan flag was approaching rapidly in the east, and Southwest also had more than two or three thousand cavalry inlaid-yellow flags that just passed through. ?

This is a three-sided encirclement.

Zhao Lijiao shouted to the sky again, “Kill the Tartar!!”

As he continued to lead the team around to rush towards the Huangqi cavalry, the southern land again It roars, that roaring imposing manner, far away, gives people a sense of shock of ten thousand horses galloping.

This time the Huangqi cavalry squad that killed three-four hundred Liaodong soldiers was stunned. They were sure that they had no arrangements in the south.

Is it the Ming army, Zhao Lijiao’s reinforcements? ?

Amidst the anxiety of the cavalry inlaid with the yellow flag, Zhao Lijiao was ecstatic and shouted for reinforcements. When the sound spread to the remaining 3,000 Liaodong cavalry, all the cavalry entered the carnival from despair, morale naked eye visible climb.

More than three thousand horses whizzed south again, paying a price of hundreds of people again. If it weren’t for the arrival of reinforcements, then this battle would almost represent the collapse of the Ming army. A total of four thousand cavalrymen had charged twice. The damage was nearly a thousand, and the Huangqi Tartar only had more than 100 casualties.

For the feudal army, this is enough battle damage to flee.

However, Zhao Lijiao looked towards the south with joy.

The army of Jurchen inlaid with yellow flags and Zhenglan flags is not in a hurry to destroy Zhao Lijiao. They are all waiting and watching.

When hundreds of riders appeared on the earth and showed their honor, everyone was shocked.

Only a few hundred cavalry came from the south, but from men to horses, they all wore black Battle Armor. The helmet was pulled, only two eyes and a special breathing hole in the nose and mouth were exposed. All of them are 1.6 m tall at the shoulder, which is a lot taller than the horses of the two armies only about 1.3 meters in the battle.

Those Knights on horsebacks are equally tall and tall. Everyone is in a state of bending bows and arrows waiting to be fired. What’s more terrifying is the hundreds of heavy cavalry like advancing dark sky. Its running speed is faster than the light cavalry in the Liaodong soldiers and Jurchen soldiers! !

There are only a few hundred riders, but this imposing manner, the momentum…

Many people are rubbing their eyes. Those guys who run faster than the light cavalry are really worn. armor? ? Not a look?

In the shaking of countless people, the hundreds of new riders with the banner of the Daming Mansion Lu Xiangsheng flew past the side of Zhao Shijiao cavalry, like a black Divine Weapon into the yellow-flag cavalry group. Even before that, the yellow-flag cavalry also moved and charged.

Looking at from a distance, hundreds of heavy cavalry in black armor, all like knives cut tofu, shot hundreds of tartar cavalry in a rain of arrows, everyone has no arrows. !

It’s nothing more than some Tartar cavalry being hit by two or three heavy arrows at the same time.

The arrow rain thrown out by the Jurchen cavalry was ejected from ding ding dong dong, and no one made any contribution.

Two waves of cavalry collided together? Many of the Jurchen cavalry were accompanied by men and horses, and they were directly hit by the black heavy-armored cavalry. The ones who did not hit were hit by a slender and sharp Tang knife, which was easily split into two halves or stumps and flew around.

Hundreds of black armored heavy cavalry, in the rapid rush to kill, no one fell behind.

Zhao Shujiao’s knives all thumped and fell. The whole person looked stupid, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling.
