Man Gui's actions made Huang Taiji very comfortable. The Ming army's combat power was inferior to that of the Great Jin cavalry. Now the two teams of Ming army generals do not cooperate, so there is no suspense in the next battle. He just thought about how to exchange the least sacrifice for the greatest victory.

"The whole army, assault the central army!" Faced with a considerable number of Ming troops, any general of the Great Jin Kingdom would adopt the tactic of directly breaking the central army. Just like Tu Lai, who was defeated by Zhou Shixiong, his tactics were correct, he just met Zhou Shixiong.[]

Zu Dashou said he was a famous general in Liaodong, and he had very few opportunities to get right against Jiannu on the battlefield. Either Ming soldiers beat fewer people, or he hid in the city as a cavalry guarding the city. Even the last battle with Jiannu at Guangqumen was an advantage in military strength. He had never fought such a battle with a comparable number of people. Zu Dashou was not a fool. He also knew that Jiannu had many soldiers defended after falling into trouble. The reason why he accepted Man Gui's invitation was to take a try. Bo Jiannu did not dare to give up the convoy. Bo Jiannu would divide his troops, and Bo Jiannu would attract more Jiannu's troops, and he had the opportunity to get a bargain.

No one can tell the truth about the matter on the battlefield. He also imagined that a brigade of Jiannu was blocked by Jiannu, so Zu Dashou was not panicked at all when he launched a charge against the Central Army. He ordered very calmly and calmly, "Retreat!"

The Ningyuan cavalry is worthy of being the most elite cavalry in Liaodong. With the order from Zu Dashou, the cavalry advancing at high speed instantly completed the formation transformation, from four squares to four flowers. It took only a cup of tea to complete the entire army's turn and return to the original route at a faster speed.

Huang Taiji tried to chase after him for a quarter of an hour and ordered a stop. He knew that the Ming army in this state would not be able to catch up. This is the experience summarized by the Ming army for many years. As long as the Jin army follows the Ming army, the Ming army's movement speed will be faster than imagined.

Man Gui chased Jiannu from the fields beside the official road to the Baoqiu River. When he saw the chariot formation, he showed a strange smile on his face when he saw the chariot formation that was waiting for him. The chariot formation is the strength of the Ming army. After being a soldier for so many years, Man Gui faced Jiannu's chariot formation for the first time. Without nonsense, Wu Weiying and Xue Bao tried to attack the chariot formation from both sides, and tried several times and found it useless. The equipment of the cavalry camp was already the top in the Ming Dynasty. Except for a few unlucky ghosts shot on the face by the Jiannu archers, there was almost no loss.

The problem is that Jiannu's chariot formation is not well learned. The Ming army chariot formation is basically a layer of box trucks as roadblocks. Behind the chariot, there is a spearman attacking the enemy with a spear. Behind the spearman, there is a crossbow archer responsible for long-range strikes, forming a three-dimensional defense system that attacks both far and near. The Jiannu's level of stealing troops is far inferior. They actually use three-layer carriages to form a chariot formation. The soldiers can only attack with bows and arrows in the chariot formation, and lack close-range attack methods.

However, Jiannu did not learn the standard chariot formation of the Ming army well, but the three-layer carriage formation was too strong. It would take a long time for the Ming army to break through obstacles, let alone make you move. Man Gui was still having a headache, and Sun Zushou found a way to break the enemy and used crossbows. Although there were only a small number of new crossbows in the cavalry camp, almost everyone had a regular crossbow. Since Jiannu wanted to play against the opposite shot, who was afraid of whom!

Sun Zushou's advice was very good. The Ming army quickly gained the upper hand in the shooting. The 5,000 defenders led by Ajige were brutally persecuted. One-third of the combat power was destroyed by the Ming army in just a few rounds of shooting. The good days of the Ming army were over. The roaring horse hooves reminded Man Gui to have a large group of people behind him. Man Gui looked behind him in surprise. He knew that it was impossible for Zu Dashou to come, but he could not believe that Jiannu would defeat Zu Dashou so quickly and return to the rescue.

"Retreat, retreat north!" Mangui has only two roads to choose from. One is to cross the river and find a way from the other side of the river to avoid Jiannu's pursuit. However, the other side of the river is the controlled area of ​​Jiannu, and Mangui does not want to enter the enemy's territory, which is too dangerous. The second option is to go north. As long as the speed is fast enough, I believe I can escape this disaster.

Mangui's choice was not wrong. The only minor trouble was that he did not bring a guide. He didn't know that there was a hill five miles north of Baoqiu River Bridge. This hill was once part of the old river channel of Baoqiu River. After being washed away by the water for countless years, it was steep and unattainable. When Mangui saw this hill, he immediately ordered to cross the river. How could there be such a terrain on the plain northern Zhili Plain?

The decision to cross the river was wise. If Ajig had not led the remaining soldiers to chase him on the other side of the river, Mangui would have likely completed a thrilling strategic transfer. The problem was that the horses in the cavalry camp were already very tired, and Ajig led the remaining soldiers to ride on the war horses with high energy. The result of one plus and one subtraction was that Ajig was blocking Mangui's way.

Three thousand against six thousand, the left and right armies of the cavalry camp jointly launched an attack. The remaining soldiers under Ajige were completely defeated, but the cavalry camp lost the opportunity to escape and was blocked by 10,000 soldiers led by Huang Taiji. Mangui led the cavalry camp back to this hill called Crescent Bay, and used a simple tripping rope to create obstacles to block Jiannu's attack.

"We ten brothers came out together, and only I will return to Tongzhou and ask the Supervisor to save my uncle." Ba was very clever. He knew that Hei Yunlong was dissatisfied with his uncle, so he turned to Zhou Shixiong with a bigger official title. If only Man Gui was trapped, Zhou Shixiong might really not send reinforcements. But Wu Weiying, Xue Bao and Sun Zushou were all on the trapped list. How could Zhou Shixiong be willing to let these people get into trouble?

He ordered people to take Ba to rest, and Zhou Shixiong and Heiyunlong Fang Zhenghua discussed countermeasures. Ten thousand three thousand soldiers and horses were still cavalry. It seemed that reinforcements were not short of people. In fact, Zhou Shixiong was the only one of the more than a thousand veterans under Heiyunlong. Forget about the others. However, Jiannu had 10,000 soldiers and horses besieged Man Gui and others. Even Zhou Shixiong didn't dare to bring two thousand soldiers to rescue. That was not rescue or death.

"Two soldiers are very fast, leaving the wounded soldiers to guard Tongzhou, and all the others go. Is there any problem?" Hei Yunlong must go. No matter what, he is still the vanguard of the cavalry barracks. If he doesn't even do rescue operations, he will definitely be wrong in the future. Zhou Shixiong was just asking Fang Zhenghua for his opinion. He was unsure of this rescue. He hoped that Man Gui and others could survive until reinforcements arrived, and he was afraid that such a thing would happen. At that time, he would lead a group of new recruits to fight against the elite Jiannu. There was basically no need to guess the outcome, and normal people could see it.

"Sir, I will follow you if I want to go to the government." Fang Zhenghua knew that there were no secret weapons this time, and the poisonous smoke had been consumed long ago, so I couldn't do it again. But he had to go. Before he set off, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Fang Zhenghua and issued a secret decree to him. No matter what the situation was, he must ensure Zhou Shixiong's safety. If Zhou Shixiong had a problem, he would not say anything about his contribution and blame his own head for his crime.

With such a secret mission in hand, Fang Zhenghua can do anything besides following it. Zhou Shixiong was very happy and "set it right away." Zhou Shixiong also had a small plan. He hoped to meet Ning Yuanjun halfway, so that the rescue difficulty would be greatly reduced.

After noon, the east gate of Tongzhou opened wide, and a cavalry rushed out of Tongzhou City and headed towards Sanhe City along the official road. Before nightfall, Zhou Shixiong and Heiyunlong, Fang Zhenghua rushed to Xixin Camp and found the traces of Ningyuan Army. Zhou Shixiong ordered people to ask Zu Dashou to speak, Zu Dashou, Gao Qiqian, Wu Xiang, and He Kegang went out to camp to welcome Zhou Shixiong.

"Four, I'm not polite, I'm not polite if I'm in urgent need of time. The cavalry camp was besieged by Jiannu in Baoqiuhe. I ordered Ningyuan's army to follow the army to reinforce and set off." Zhou Shixiong was really not polite. After Hei Yunlong helped introduce these historical celebrities, he immediately ordered Ningyuan's army to go to war.

Zu Dashou looked at Gao Qiqian and bowed and said, "Governor Zhou is the one who belongs to the Liaodong border army. Although the Governor is of high status and power, he cannot be ordered without an imperial edict." Zu Dashou talked to Zhou Shixiong and said so smoothly, he must have thought about it for a long time before he came to think about it, but because Zhou Shixiong was the first to come to him, he became the first listener.

"If I remember correctly, the emperor personally issued an order a month ago to control the Ningyuan army. It seemed that General Zu was there at that time. Did General Zu forget it?" This move did not have any problems with others, and it was still a little short of dealing with Zhou Shixiong. Who made Zhou Shixiong have such a good memory!

Zu Dashou really forgot about this. Now he immediately felt a cold sweat when he remembered it. Fortunately, there was someone around him to help, otherwise Zu Dashou would have to send troops to rescue people. Gao Qiqian stepped forward to block Zu Dashou and said to Zhou Shixiong without hesitation, "The Zhennan Hou is such a bad word. At that time, the emperor ordered Zhennan Hou to control the cavalry camp and Ningyuan Army. Now the military leadership of Zhennan Hou has been lifted. Even if he had the right to control Ningyuan Army, it is not possible now!"

He is indeed a top student who has been in the Sili Supervisory Bureau. He is very familiar with the court etiquette system and has wiped out Zhou Shixiong's support at once. It is indeed amazing. Fang Zhenghua and Heiyunlong reached out to grab the knife handle on their waists, hoping to cut the knife to cut this guy. When Zu Dashou saw someone threatening his benefactor, he immediately stepped forward to block Gao Qiqian, such a loyal and righteous man who was grateful for his kindness.

Zhou Shixiong smiled coldly, "Gao Junjian, the cavalry camp is surrounded by Jiannu. You seem to be the cavalry camp's supervisor. Why did you appear here? Well!" Zhou Shixiong originally just wanted to catch the strong men to save people, but Gao Qiqian jumped out of bad things, which made Zhou Shixiong murderous for the first time. As long as Gao Qiqian couldn't make a fortune, Zhou Shixiong would definitely kill him!

Gao Qiqian had no panic expression at all and replied calmly, "Long live the important military situation of this military supervisor. Ningyuan Army is responsible for escorting our home back to the Beijing-faced Saint. Why, Zhennan Hou wants to stop our home?" Damn, this guy is talking nonsense without blinking. A word from the Beijing-faced Saint has occupied the moral commanding heights. Unless the emperor comes in person, no one can expose his nonsense. Gao, it is indeed Gao, no wonder his surname is Gao!

Zhou Shixiong regretted it very much. How could he be so outrageous? He shouldn't have given this guy a chance to speak. He should have killed him as soon as he met! If he did this, Zu Dashou would definitely not dare to resist his orders. Man Gui and others had more guarantees for their lives. It's too late now. Unless Zhou Shixiong stared at the charge of rebellion and killed Gao Qiqian and forced Ningyuan army to send troops to rescue him, otherwise he would not want to take away a Ningyuan army.
