"The so-called Jurchen Iron Cavalry is just like this." Yue Yun smiled disdainfully. When he was a child, he had heard many stories about the Jurchen Iron Cavalry Army being in the fortress and approaching Bianliang. He wished he could have been born for decades and join Guo Shenxian's command, leading the army to generals Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and others to behead him. Unfortunately, when he was able to lead the war, the Jurchens had long lost their shadows and had always felt regretful, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to compete with the Jurchens here.

But why are the Jurchen troops on the opposite side so vulnerable? And the Mongolian cavalry that followed them was far behind those he wiped out back then. Are the barbarians in the north so weak now?

To be honest, their strength is not outstanding. Whether it is the Huns, Turks, Khitans, or Mongolia, they are actually far superior to the Jurchens in terms of the number of troops and combat effectiveness. They can only shrink to Liaodong and be beaten in any era of Qin, Han, Tang, and Song dynasties. They can only hide in Liaodong and be beaten. It is only because of the arrival of the Little Ice Age, and the corrupt and incompetent Ming bureaucrats and the refugees who have exhausted the power of the Ming Dynasty, so they can take the opportunity to steal the Central Plains; otherwise, they would not have such a chance.

"Dorgon, you lead the Zhengbai Banner to break the rear, and the other banners will follow me to retreat into Zunhua City." Huang Taiji knew that this failure would greatly lose his prestige, so he had to weaken the strength of the opposition forces first. Before, Manggurtai was dead, so it was Dorgon's turn now. Although Dorgon was young, he was deeply loved by Nurhaci. After Nurhaci's death, he inherited almost the largest number of Niulu among the various beiles.

Dorgon's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, but his brothers Ajige and Dodo looked gloating. After Huang Taiji and others forced them to bury Nurhaci, the three brothers lacked a bond that connected them together. Later, Huang Taiji used various means to constantly distract their relationship, which led to the fact that the three brothers were not able to unite to fight Huang Taiji, but instead had many conflicts with each other.

This is on the battlefield. Although Dorgon was reluctant, he still had to follow Huang Taiji's orders to command the troops of the Zhengbai Banner to stand in front of the Song army's iron cavalry. The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty always liked to boast that they were unparalleled in cavalry, but they might be able to boast a few words in cavalry. The level of riding skills is actually very average, because the Jurchens are fishing and hunting nations, not nomadic people like the Mongols. Their cavalry may be able to easily win against a corrupt army like the Ming army, but it is useless to encounter the trained Song army cavalry.

First of all, the war horses of the Song army's cavalry were tall and big horses introduced from the Western Regions, far from being comparable to the low Mongolian horses ridden by the Jurchens. Secondly, before the two armies collided, Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner cavalry was disrupted by a dense projectile and could not organize effective defense. Finally, the Song army's cavalry, under the guidance of Yue Fei, had begun to practice wall-style charge. Under such a powerful killing weapon, the eight-banner cavalry, which emphasized that individual bravery was not an opponent at all.

The Song army cavalry lined up in an orderly line, and a hundred people rushed towards the Jurchen cavalry like a sabre, instantly penetrated the blockade of the Zhengbai Banner. Dorgon did not intend to save his life to win time for Huang Taiji. A defeat was irreversible, and he immediately fled with his troops. For him, saving his life was the most important thing.

"Haha, General Zhang, follow me to fight for a while!" Li You picked up the Liquan spear from the Desheng hook and urged Zhu Longma to join the pursuit array. It has been a long time since the battle was full of joy. Now that the situation is settled, he finally couldn't help but want to make a good life.

"Your Majesty, no." Before Zhang Zhiji finished speaking, he saw Li You passing by him like a wind, rushing straight to the Jurchens' chaos army. Zhang Zhiji dared to hesitate and immediately followed Li You with the few elite left in the capital camp and rushed towards the enemy. However, the war horse under their crotch could be compared with Zhu Longma, and he used all his strength, and even after interrupting the horse whip, he could not catch up with Li You.

"Is this a victory?" Wang Qia, who was left behind, rubbed his eyes incredibly. Two hours ago, he thought he was about to die here, but he did not expect that the situation of the battle has changed today. The arrogant Jurchens were easily defeated by His Majesty's ambush here.

This is the biggest victory that I have ever won in the Ming Dynasty since Nurhaci started the army! Wang Qia, who escaped the disaster, felt a passionate desire for fame and fame. Although he had to force him at the beginning, since he had been following His Majesty, he might be able to share the credit for this great victory, right?

But where did these tens of thousands of elite soldiers emerge? Why did I, as the Minister of War, know nothing about this? When I think of this, it was like a can of cold water pouring on my head. Wang Qia instantly calmed down. He could avoid such a powerful army arranged by civil and military officials. How many secrets does this Majesty hide?

Looking at Li You fighting in the distance, Wang Qia felt a sense of panic in his heart. His Majesty is really unfathomable. Those guys who stayed in the capital may be in trouble now? Wang Qia is very clear about the virtues of the officials in the capital. They can think of what they will do during this period without guessing, but they probably didn't expect that His Majesty would win such a glorious victory this time, right?

"Run faster, run faster!" Huang Taiji, who was fat, didn't dare to pity the horse power at the moment. He waved his whip and whipped the war horse under his crotch desperately, hoping to enter Zunhua City as soon as possible so as to avoid the pursuit of the Ming army behind him.

Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly and began to escape decisively as soon as the battle situation was irreversible, so he finally escaped back to Zunhua City safely. When he returned to the city to count the number of people, Huang Taiji was immediately distressed and almost bleeding. The two flags of Zhenglan Banner and Zhengbai Banner were almost broken. The body of Manguertai was left in the chaos army. Dorgon injured his arm, and the other flags were also damaged. The 100,000 troops who entered the pass with him lost more than 30,000 in this battle.
