Chapter 578: Tiger drives away wolves and defeats the enemy in Jinzhou 8

Zhou Xian stood at the top of the city and looked up at the sky in the distance. The dark clouds gathered more and more densely, and the air was so thick that it seemed to squeeze out water. Perhaps a heavy rain would arrive soon. He smiled slightly and said silently in his heart, Haoge really chose a good day to retreat!

After nearly an hour of confrontation, the formation of the Qing army finally began to move. First, the infantry and then the cavalry, passed through the camps in turn, without any confusion. After that, the original Qing army camp ignited a raging fire, and the thick black smoke pillars soared into the sky, which were clearly visible more than ten miles away.

Zhou Tai was so excited that he pointed to the front and shouted loudly: "Uncle, the Qing army has withdrawn, let's chase after you!"

Zhou Xian waved his hand to signal Zhou Tai to calm down and said, "Let's see how Huang Qianshi deal with it?"

Huang Fei was already under the city, and he stood on the general's platform and looked ahead. After about a stick of incense, he ordered in a deep voice. "Wave the flag, let the cavalry on the left and right wings attack immediately, and go forward and entangle the Qing army. Let Gao Yi go forward quickly and cooperate with the cavalry to attack the army. Li Kai and Gao Jinsong maintain the formation and slowly move forward, preparing to deal with the Qing army's counterattack."

The commander's commander left upon his order, rode a horse and ran to the left and right to send commands.

More than a thousand cavalry on the left and right wings were led by Jimu and Gao Xin, and they rushed forward. After joining forces, they walked around the burning Qing army camp in front of them and chased forward.

Gao Yi held a long sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "The Zhizi Camp has never been defeated since its establishment, and it will be like this today. The army followed me to capture and kill Abatai. The military gate has agreed. After this battle, all the soldiers of the camp drank for three days. But those who are timid and dare not fight will ask him to drink horse urine afterwards. Go forward and kill the Tartars!"

After saying that, Gao Yi rushed forward with a knife. The three thousand soldiers behind him gave a loud shout, then quickly stepped forward, and continued, without any formation at all.

Zhou Xian shook his head gently on the top of the city. Gao Yi was a powerful general, but he was not a good general. He used his own courage to boost morale and made his soldiers willing to die for him. Using him as a vanguard, he could allow the soldiers to exert double their courage.

But often he only cares about rushing forward, and the killing is enough! His requirements for the camp and soldiers are not strict. When fighting against the wind, he is indeed unbeatable. However, when fighting against the wind, he will easily be defeated by the enemy.

Among the generals, Zhou Xian trusts Li Kai the most and values ​​Han Kuo the most, but he likes Gao Yi the most. He has a straightforward personality and a free and easy personality. Zhou Xian feels very relaxed when he gets along with him. In addition, he is brave and good at fighting. Zhou Xian originally planned to give him more value in the future, but at this moment, he secretly made up his mind that he must not lead the army alone in the future.

Just as he was thinking, a whistle came from the front, which was rapid and sharp. Zhou Xian looked at him. After Jimu and Gao Xin met, more than a thousand cavalry gathered together, lined up in a cone formation, and slowly moved forward. The knights above made a low hiss, pulling out their weapons one after another. They evenly rushed forward, like a strong wind swept north.

Huang Fei waited for a stick of incense after the cavalry of the Qing army retreated. In addition to confirming that the Qing army was indeed retreating, he also slowed down his morale. Let the latter relax a little first, and it would be difficult to get together again.

Seeing the Ming army chasing, a mess of shouts came from the Qing army.

Abatai was in the central army, and when he heard the report, he was extremely surprised. He quickly pulled his horse back. The Ming army was indeed cunning, not moving early or late, and only started attacking when the army began to move. He thought to himself.

He pointed at the south and saw that the Ming army had only more than a thousand cavalry in front of the army, and had a distance from the infantry in the back. He calmed down a little, then turned to the left and right, laughed and said, "Zhou Xian had no wisdom and only attacked with a thousand cavalry. How can he fight against our Daqing Jing Cavalry? Everyone, do you have the confidence to defeat the Ming Dog?"

The generals around him replied loudly: "Please give the order."

Abatai retreated first with infantrymen and behind the cavalry hall. This was done to prevent the Ming army from raiding during the retreat. At this moment, he saw more than a thousand cavalry chasing him, although he was a little surprised, his chest was even more excited. Seeing that the morale of the generals increased slightly, he ordered loudly: "Sumuzhe, you will lead the thousand cavalry in the rear team to immediately dispatch to fight the Ming army. The infantry in the front team immediately returned and formed a formation in a wide area. The remaining cavalry slowly went back and met with the infantry in the rear."

The Qing army infantry had been in full swing for a long time, and at this moment, he heard Abatai suddenly ordering to return. Although he was frightened by his identity, the generals dared not to obey, but they couldn't help but complain in their hearts. They muttered quietly, slowly started and headed south.

The horsemen on both sides were very slow at first. When the horses were heated and they were three hundred steps apart, they suddenly accelerated. The horse's hooves were galloping like thunder, and the horsemen shouted fiercely.

In a blink of an eye, the two armies had already joined the formation. Both were elite, and the ones in the forefront were even more elite. Facing the spears that were like forests on the front, they did not hesitate at all, but instead rushed away at a faster speed. Everyone collided like two walls, and countless people fell off the horse and turned into a ball of mud under the horse's hooves. However, many soldiers on both sides cut into each other's military formation, bravely moving forward, and fighting desperately.

Spears came out one after another, swords and swords were slashed, and one living person after another became dead in a flash.

The cavalry is good at fighting and has never encountered an opponent. He hedged with more than a thousand cavalry of the opponent, and each of them thought that his own army would win. But as soon as he came into contact, he found that things were not as simple as they expected. In one hedge, nearly a hundred cavalry on both sides were dropped, and the losses of the Ming army were almost the same as those of the Qing army.

And the most important thing is that in the face of such losses, the Ming army did not care at all. Most of them did not even blink, and they all fought bravely and moved forward desperately. During this period, countless people landed, but the Ming army's sprint speed remained unchanged at all.

Abatai and more than a hundred personal guards stood on a hill, watching the battle in the distance, their faces changed slightly. Seeing the Ming army infantry slowly approaching further away, Abatai turned around and said, "Hacile, lead five hundred cavalry over to delay the speed of the Ming army infantry coming. Buy time for Su Muzhe to defeat the Ming army cavalry."

A tall general next to him came out and replied, "Subordinate to obey the order." After saying that, he rode a horse and pointed out five hundred cavalry from the retreating cavalry, and then turned around and galloped south.

Abatai saw that his cavalry and Ming cavalry were entangled and killed each other, and it was impossible to defeat them in a short period of time. He sent these five hundred cavalry just to hope that they could delay the Ming army for a while so that their backs could line up in formation.

A personal guard pointed to the front side and said, "Master, there are too many Ming troops. With those five hundred cavalry, I'm afraid they can't stop them."
