When Yang Sichang's official words with a Hunan accent came from outside the hall, Zhu Youjian knew that Lu Xiang had succeeded.

Sure enough, Yang Sichang stepped into the hall from the outside in an instant. Lao Yang, who had always paid attention to appearance and was not conscious of his emotions, held a thin question book with one hand and a corner of his official robe in the other, hurried towards Zhu Youjian on the imperial stairs, with his radiant face full of unconcealed joy.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Lu Jiandou, Sun Baigu sent an urgent report to the left-wing cavalry and the successful ambush of the army returning to the east of the north in the area of ​​Xining Fort in Guangning Wei, a few days ago, and the official army chased after him was blocked from behind, and the Eastern Captain was defeated in a surprise defense.

According to the results of the war, the battle formation killed the princes of the Eight Banners of Manchus, Mongolian and Han, Beile, killed and injured more than 30,000 of the main forces of the Eastern Gang, captured more than 20,000 enemy troops, seized the armor, flags and supplies of the troops, including those suspected of the Eastern Gangs, Huang Taiji, and later fled north under the cover of his guards. Xianlu and Sun had already joined forces and were dividing their troops to chase and suppress the fleeing enemy troops. If nothing unexpected happens, the entire territory of Liao will be recovered soon. I am the emperor and congratulate the Ming Dynasty.

"Good Yang Qing will submit the battle report to Yang Qing and sit down."

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but stand up and ordered loudly, Wang Chengen, who had already fallen from the imperial rank, took the question book from Yang Sichang, turned around and quickly came to Zhu Youjian's side, presented his hands to him, Zhu Youjian reached out to take it, sat down, opened the question book and looked carefully.

It turned out that after the reconnaissance of the Eight Banners Army began to retreat from the Songjin line, Lu Xiangsheng led a large group of cavalry to arrive at the ambush site that had been investigated in advance.

The main battlefield chosen by Lu Xiangsheng is near Xining Fort. The terrain is flat and open. There are rolling hills to the west and endless plains to the east, which is just suitable for a large group of cavalry to cover up their tracks. When charging, they are condescending, which can play the role of war horse sprinting and kill and injure the enemy more effectively.

On the second day after the ambush, I led 5,000 troops from two yellow flags back to Shengjing. Seeing that the opponent was not large and was mainly cavalry, Lu Xiangsheng did not order a rush. The five thousand people I brought with me never expected that a group of hungry wolves had long been ambushed, and he had already walked from the gate of hell and returned to the world.

On the third day after the first wave of Qing army, the Ming army came to report one after another without taking any charge at night. The brigade of Qing army had appeared dozens of miles away. Lu Xiangsheng immediately issued an order to prepare for the army.

Lu Xiangsheng divided the more than 20,000 cavalry under his command into eight teams, each with about three thousand cavalry, and then set up a formation two miles apart to wait for the Qing army brigade to appear.

Before the afternoon of that day, more than 10,000 people from two white flags appeared in the Ming army's vision. Judging from the lineup and formation of the Qing army, the Qing army, who had been rushing for several days, was exhausted and had loosened its formation, which was exactly what the cavalry liked the most.

However, the Qing army's horse exploration was not a vegetarian. Although they hurriedly retreated in the defeat and retreated to their own nests, the Qing army's horse exploration was still released twenty miles away.

Just when the first team of the Ming army, with the help of the cover of hills, began to move forward from five miles away and prepare to launch a charge at a suitable distance, at this moment, the explorers who came forward from the Qing army had discovered that the Ming army on the flanks were not taken away at night and the Ming army brigade behind them. After a brief and fierce battle, more than 20 Qing army provocations died and injured more than ten people, survivors still sounded the horn.

It has to be said that the Qing army, which was at its peak, was indeed a strong army that had been through many battles. With the entire army losing its morale and exhausted, the Qing army still responded quickly.

The two white flag teams that received the police Xun immediately ordered the whole team to stop, and then began to arrange according to the combat formation. Although the Eight Banners soldiers were surprised, they did not see any panic when they set up the formation. However, the doubts and worries in their hearts were written on their faces.

Dorgon and Ajige, who were leading the central army brigade, were walking side by side. After hearing the police in front of him, they looked at each other at the same time, their eyes full of shock and horror. They understood the Ming army's chain plan at the same time.

"Old Fourteenth this time we have been told by Mingren. If something is wrong, you can quickly take the guards and go with the two white flags first. You will rely on you to make special supplements. Blow the trumpet and gather troops, come with me."

The dust smoke from the cavalry galloped in the distance was slowly floating into the air. The sound of thunder-like hooves seemed to be rolling towards the Qing army from the sky. Ajige said to Dorgon, and then issued an order loudly.

The Eight Banners, who are good at fishing and hunting, do not have many cavalrymen themselves, and they have lost a lot in the previous consecutive battles. Huang Taiji gathered most of the cavalry to finally cover the formation of the large group of people. Now there are only more than 800 cavalry left in the formation of the two white flags.

After discovering that the attacking Ming army was full of cavalry and would soon arrive on the flank of the Qing army and start charging, in order to stop the Ming cavalry's charge and free up time for the Qing army to line up, the best way now is to use cavalry to delay the Ming army's charge.

Before Dorgon could say more, Ajige had already rode his horse forward and rode away with more than a hundred guards. The figure of the Ming army's large cavalry in the distance had already appeared.

Dorgon endured the sourness in his heart and loudly ordered the entire army to prepare for war, and made quick pass on the two blue flags and two red flags a few miles away from the rear formation.

It was Cao Bianjiao who led the first cavalry in the Ming army to charge.

In order to prevent the generals who like to take the lead in charge from suffering too much casualties in the battle, Zhu Youjian had already prepared new armor for these brave generals in advance.

According to Zhu Youjian's instructions and general description, the military weapon supervisor specially drew several skilled craftsmen, and spent countless iron materials to create dozens of pairs of fine steel plate armor and hat helmets. The iron mesh skirt was also woven by producing mail, which minimized the damage caused by infantry and sword chopping and axe to the lower limbs of the generals. The combat boots were made of dense iron chains surrounding the boot surface.

After this set of armor that can be called armed to the teeth was released, Cao Bianjiao, Ma Ke, Luo Shifang, and some brave generals from other border towns each received a pair. After trying it on, the generals regarded this armor with excellent protection as a treasure and expressed their intention to pass it on to their descendants as a heirloom.

Seeing that the small group of Qing cavalry less than two miles ahead had already started to speed up, Cao Bianjiao, who was jogging, reached out to put the iron mask on his helmet, and his whole body suddenly turned into an iron monster. His cold eyes were scanned at the Qing army opposite through the box left on the iron mask.
