It was said that he left at the beginning of Mao Shi, but in the middle of Yin Shi, Chen Zhong had already ordered his headquarters and Han slaves to start evacuating.

Li Yuanqing was also awakened from his sleep.

Of course he understood what Chen Zhong meant. Evacuating the troops earlier would give Li Yuanqing and the men of the Changsheng Battalion more time to prepare.

However, Chen Zhong was not as patient as Li Yuanqing. If these Han slaves were disobedient on the road, they would inevitably suffer some hardships.

The terrain around the woods is very flat, and it is adjacent to the official road. In addition, the Han slaves have been like "frightened birds" for a long time. When it gets dark, around 6:30 in the morning, the rear group has also evacuated, and the surrounding spacious land is all left to Changsheng.

The soldiers of the camp.

Of course, since he was about to join the advance supplies from Gaizhou, Chen Zhong also left a large amount of dry biscuits and gunpowder from his headquarters to Li Yuanqing.

After simply having some breakfast, Li Yuanqing was about to convene a meeting with the main officers under his command. Another news came from the forward sentry. There were almost a dozen Niulu in Houjin, about five to six thousand people, and they had arrived less than ten miles to the north. Look at the flag.

, most of them are teams with blue flags and yellow flags, all of them are cavalry.

"The dog Tatars came very quickly! General, our muskets are 80% ready for use. This time, we must fight them hard!"

Shunzi gritted his teeth and said.

How could his mood improve when Hou Jinjun was chasing after him as if he was begging for help?

Duan Xiliang said: "General, the Tatars don't have many troops. If we line up in formation, I'm afraid they won't rush into the formation easily. But if there's a stalemate, we're afraid we'll suffer a loss!"

Compared with the Later Jin Army, the coverage capabilities of the Ming Army's Sentinel Cavalry were limited. In this state, they could detect intelligence within twenty or thirty miles around.

If the soldiers line up to meet the enemy at this time, but the Tatars do not rush into the formation, then things will be in trouble.

Once a stalemate is formed, the soldiers will be unable to advance or retreat, and will easily be besieged or even besieged and killed by the subsequent Hou Jin army.

Duan Xiliang is no longer the stupid kid he was back then. With many years of war experience, he has grown into a qualified veteran. He naturally sees this aspect very clearly.

Guan Canghai also said: "General, the Tatars came in a hurry, and they must be very anxious. It is best for us to fight quickly and not make ink with them."

Kong Youde smiled and said: "Then~~~, we can only show a flaw first and lure these dog Tatars over to charge into the battle!"

Xu Heizi said: "Tatars are not fools either. It's not that easy to seduce them. This matter is not easy to deal with!"

Li Yuanqing nodded.

Most of the generals in the Changsheng Battalion, especially these main generals, were his "capital" when he started out. Their many years of combat experience, especially successful and victorious combat experience, make their military quality far higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

Ming army.

Especially after the establishment of the General Staff, Li Yuanqing only had to formulate a general direction for many wars, saving a lot of effort.

But at this time, things and time were very urgent. Li Yuanqing could no longer control it and guided the officers to play. He said directly: "It is not easy to seduce them. The key is to look at the chips. If I were here, you said, they would

Won’t come?”

"Uh? This..."

"General, this, this is impossible! The Tatar cavalry is more powerful than we thought!"

"No, no, general, how can you put yourself in danger? We'd better consider a safer method."

"Yes! Yes! Brother! You can't rush this matter! If you put yourself in danger, the brothers will lose their backbone!"

Why didn't the generals around him understand what Li Yuanqing meant? They all tried to persuade him.

Li Yuanqing suddenly sneered: "As the saying goes, if you don't let go of your children, you won't catch the wolf! My brothers are all here, so what should I be afraid of? Every department has them!"

"yes!"

How dare the officers disobey Li Yuanqing's order and fell to their knees with a bang.

Li Yuanqing glanced at the most familiar faces around him, "Very good! Now, let's start assigning tasks!"

…………

At this time, ten miles north of the woods where Changsheng Camp is located, there are six Niulu from Amin's tribe, three Niulu from Tanbai's tribe, two Niulu from Meng Gangdu's tribe, as well as each from Zhenghuang Banner and Zhenghong Banner.

A Niu Lu was gathering at a creek on the south side of the official road to have breakfast.

After a hard night's journey, Amin's face could not hide the fatigue.

It was only yesterday morning that they discovered Ma's shop where the Ming army took refuge from the flood. After that, sentinels from all over the place swarmed out to track the movements of the Ming army.

Finally, late yesterday afternoon, the exact location of the Ming army was discovered.

Amin immediately asked Lao Nu for a fight, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Li Yuanqing in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, at this time, an epidemic was prevalent among Hou Jin's army, and tens of thousands of people suffered from diarrhea. The old slave could not bring out many troops at once, so he asked Amin and Tanbai, who were the most active in asking for war, to go to fight, and squeezed their teeth to give them

I pieced together these dozen awesome records.

At this time, although the land had dried up a lot, there were still many places full of mud.

Amin and Tanbai must conserve their horsepower and prepare to launch an attack today, and do not dare to let their marching speed be too fast.

Mainly due to night blindness.

Otherwise, if they rush too fast, they may fall off their horses and die before they find Li Yuanqing.

Since the food and grass of the Hou Jin Army were also in short supply, the dry food they carried at this time was not sufficient. They only had five or six days' rations, and most of them were mainly dry and smelly dried meat, which really didn't make people have much appetite.

However, thinking about being able to hunt down Li Yuanqing soon, Amin's mood became more and more exciting, and the smelly dried meat in his mouth became much sweeter, "Eat quickly. Li Yuanqing is ten miles ahead. We must take advantage of them."

Before the formation was stable, we captured Li Yuanqing in one fell swoop and cut off this bastard's head!"

These people have such an unforgettable hatred for Li Yuanqing that they don’t need encouragement at all.

Tan Bai hurriedly said: "Master Baylor is right. This is the beginning of Chen hour. By the middle of Chen hour, we will definitely be able to reach Li Yuanqing's location. At that time, we can divide our troops into separate groups, break up their formation first, and directly surround Li Yuanqing.

!”

Meng Gang was still a little afraid of Li Yuanqing's power, but at this time, how could he dare to say anything? He smiled and nodded.

Soon, they had a hasty breakfast, drank enough water from the creek, and quickly moved towards the Ming army camp in the south.

…………

At this time, after nearly two days of drying up, the land had solidified a lot, especially the solid land near the official road, and there was basically no serious problem for the cavalry.

As expected, they ran all the way, and at midnight, the Hou Jin army led by Amin arrived near the Ming army camp on time.

At this time, the men of Changsheng Camp had already begun to retreat south.

Perhaps because the terrain was too uneven, or perhaps because they received news that the Hou Jin Army was approaching, the Changsheng Battalion team seemed a bit disorganized, surrounding the official road and covering the mountains and plains, and evacuated in a hurry.

Especially after hearing the hoofbeats of the Hou Jin Army, the men of the Changsheng Battalion were completely panicked. They were like sheep that had encountered a pack of wolves. They roared loudly and ran south as hard as they could, even if there were officers.

Even though they yelled loudly, they couldn't stop their panic at all.

Among the crowd, Amin saw Li Yuanqing's commanding flag at a glance, less than three miles away from him, at the very rear of the Ming army's battle formation.

It can be seen that Li Yuanqing did not expect the Dajin Iron Cavalry to arrive so quickly. He was obviously unprepared and wanted to flee for his life.

Li Yuanqing was accompanied by about five or six hundred elites. Apparently he also saw the situation of the Dajin elites here, and was obviously a little panicked. He seemed to be shouting and ordering the Ming army to form a formation and stand in front of them.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! Li Yuanqing, you bastard, you are here too!"

Amin couldn't help but laugh wildly. He was too familiar with this situation.

In the past, every time they faced Daikin's cavalry, these meanest Minggouzi always behaved like this. They were simply more vulnerable than a flock of sheep.

How could Amin, who had experienced many battles, let go of such an opportunity?

"Tan Bai, I'll go to the middle, you go to the right! I'll kill Li Yuanqing today!"

Amin shouted loudly, and took the lead in leading the elite troops from his Xianglan Banner headquarters, rushing towards the panicked battle formation of the Ming army!

Although Tan Bai felt that something was wrong, the opportunity had appeared at this time, and he did not care about anything else. He hurriedly shouted to Meng Gangdudu beside him: "Master Meng Gangdu, you go to the left, I will come to the right."

Road! We must not let Li Yuanqing escape today!"

After Tan Bai finished speaking, he had already galvanized his horse and led his elite men with yellow flags to rush towards the Ming army.

Meng Gang was also a little confused. He didn't expect that Li Yuanqing, who had always been orderly, would end up like this. Obviously, they were forced to flee by the flood in a hurry and lacked supplies and firepower!

After a moment, Meng Gang came to his senses and hurriedly led the follow-up troops straight to the right flank of the Ming army to kill them!

Soon, the iron hoofs roared, and five or six thousand Jinjing cavalry, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, divided into three groups and roared towards the Ming army.

Although the situation in the Ming army's battle formation was chaotic, there was a cruel sneer on the corner of Li Yuanqing's mouth. Amin, this idiot, was indeed fooled!

But the situation was critical, and Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect it. He waved his hand and said: "Notify all ministries and proceed as planned!"

"yes!"

The flag bearers around him did not dare to neglect, and quickly used flag language to convey Li Yuanqing's orders to every corner of the battlefield.

Soon, the originally seemingly scattered Ming army began to gather. Of course, it was not a full-scale battle formation, but a small battle formation of about a hundred or two hundred and three people. The sword and shield soldiers were in the front, and the bird and gun soldiers were in the middle.

The pikemen were hidden in the gaps between them. They looked scattered, but were actually quite orderly.

At this time, Amin also noticed that something seemed wrong.

When these bastards from the Changsheng Camp saw Dajin's cavalry, they didn't run away, but listed out such a "vulnerable" formation. They were really tired of living!

These small battle formations are not connected at all, and there are countless gaps in between. How can they resist him and his warriors?

At this time, Houjin Cavalry had already charged at its maximum speed, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami roaring. Amin couldn't stop laughing ferociously and shouted loudly: "Charge! Charge! Charge! Crush these despicable mudslings for me!"

Capture this bastard Li Yuanqing alive!"

In an instant, like an unstoppable torrent, these Houjin Jingqi, like a flood from the roar of mountains and tsunami, rolled towards the Ming army's battle formation.

In the center of the battle formation, Li Yuanqing suddenly sneered slightly, "Brother Amin, I'm sorry. You have to leave your life here today!"

As soon as Li Yuanqing finished speaking, suddenly there was a continuous "bang bang bang" sound in front of him, and the most familiar bird gun chirped, resounding clearly and sharply.

These charging Houjin Tatars obviously did not expect that in this state, the Ming army could shoot so neatly.

In a moment, many of the Tatars who were charging forward were shot, and rolled to the ground in pain. However, in an instant, they were trampled to pieces by their companions behind them.

But the sharpness of the cavalry has already risen, and these Tatars don't care about so much. They are shouting and roaring one by one, with their bows and arrows drawn, and they swarm into the Ming army's battle formation!
