After receiving Jia Ke's order, Huang Baifeng did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the 10,000 cavalrymen in his headquarters. At the same time, he ordered to send a message to Muren, the commander of the Zhenglan Banner, asking him to bring 20,000 cavalrymen to join him.
Without a single stick of incense, Huang Baifeng was fully prepared. When he had just finished preparations, the cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner had already arrived nearby.
Muren led the cavalry to the vicinity of Huang Baifeng, asked the cavalry to stop, and rode his horse to Huang Baifeng. He raised his hands and said, "Envoy Huang Jiedu, on the order of my master, I will bring 20,000 cavalry to join you."
Huang Baifeng nodded and said: "This time, General, I have to thank you. We can't lose the commander-in-chief's face."
Huang Baifeng meant that Muren should listen to his command this time and not let the commander blame him if something goes wrong.
Although Muren is the commander of the Eight Banners, he is very clear about his status. The Eight Banners are all Jia Ke's slaves, but the man opposite him is Jia Ke's trusted general, so he does not dare to be arrogant.
"Don't worry, General Huang. This time when I go, I will obey General Huang's orders and will never dare to act without authorization."
Huang Baifeng nodded after hearing this, and then ordered his cavalry to join his own cavalry. Then Huang Baifeng and others took the lead, Muren asked to follow, and 30,000 cavalry followed them and pursued northward.
Besides, Meng He led 50,000 cavalry to break off the rear. He thought that if Jia Ke came to attack this time, it would be a storm, so he did not dare to be paralyzed.
He himself was waiting on the road with 30,000 cavalry, and the other 20,000 cavalry were ambushing behind a nearby hill.
Sure enough, after waiting for less than two hours, we saw dust rising from the south. This was the arrival of a large group of cavalry.
Meng He hurriedly ordered his cavalry to get into position and block the opponent's way.
Huang Baifeng was driving forward with his men and horses, when he suddenly saw tens of thousands of cavalry blocking the road ahead, and knew that this was the Tatar army that had broken off the rear.
Huang Baifeng did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered the troops to stop and form an array on the spot, with the cavalry from Xuanfu Town as the center and the 20,000 cavalry from Zhenglan Banner on both wings.
After Huang Baifeng set up his formation, he looked at the opposite side and saw a general in the middle of the opposite side. It was Meng He. Huang Baifeng took a breath of cold air when he saw this person.
Meng He was an extraordinary person. In the past battle, his commander-in-chief actually suffered a loss. This was the first time since he followed Jia Ke. He could not be too careful with such a person.
Now that Huang Baifeng was cautious, he did not dare to press any further. Instead, he took a few steps forward and said, "I have heard about the general's name for a long time. When we meet today, it is indeed well-deserved. I wonder what the general wants to do if he stays here."
Meng He saw a middle-aged general coming out from the opposite side. He was also wearing a golden helmet. He was very majestic and very polite, so he was not rude. Instead, he led a few soldiers forward and came to Huangbaifeng.
distance of steps.
"Which general is that opposite?"
Huang Baifeng shouted loudly: "A certain family is Huang Baifeng, the military governor of Xuanfu Town, and he has met General Meng He here."
Meng He had also heard of Huang Baifeng. He had been very cautious in Xuanfu Town over the years. He had managed Xuanfu Town like a copper wall and an iron wall, so that the Tatars did not dare to invade from here, and even the surrounding tribes did not dare to invade Xuanfu Town.
Herding horses and sheep near the town.
After hearing this, Meng He raised his hands and shouted to the opposite side: "General, if you don't sit down in the camp, what do you want to do when you come here?"
Huang Baifeng felt a headache when he saw Meng He across from him with a calm expression. He didn't know if the person opposite had any plans waiting for him, but since he had reached this point, he couldn't give in just like that.
"So that General Meng He will know that while you are waiting for the Tatars to retreat north, I will come to pursue you on the orders of the general. Since the general has lost his rear, he is the enemy."
After Huang Baifeng finished speaking, he stopped talking to Meng He and ordered the army to start preparations for the war.
Meng He looked at the neat team on the opposite side, the sophisticated armor, and the shining steel swords, and felt very sad.
Although the Tatars themselves are brave, it is impossible to arrange such a neat team like the other side. Moreover, everyone on the other side has armor and the steel swords are very sharp. This is not what they Tatars want.
It can be done.
These equipments show the national strength of the Central Plains. Although the Tatars are brave, but for them to equip these soldiers with such sophisticated equipment, even if they sell all their properties, there is no way to do it. The most important thing is that they have money.
, and there is no place to buy it.
Before Meng Hesi could turn the corner, Huang Baifeng on the opposite side had already started charging with his troops.
Meng He came to his senses when he heard the other side's horn sound, and hurriedly ordered his cavalry to keep approaching.
The two sides got closer and closer, and then the two iron streams met together on the grassland.
This battle lasted only an hour. The Tatars were indeed brave, but they were far behind Jia Ke in terms of weapons and equipment.
At the beginning, the two sides were able to maintain a stalemate for a long time, but the disadvantage of the Tatars became apparent.
Even if one of Jia Ke's soldiers was stabbed, it wouldn't be a big deal because they were protected by armor.
But the Tatar cavalry cannot do that. As long as they are hit by a knife, their skin will be torn and the blood will not stop flowing. At the beginning, they can grit their teeth and hold on, but as time goes by, the blood will almost drain away.
Then the Tatars began to show their defeat.
But even in this situation, the Tatars still moved forward desperately, because behind them stood the hero Meng He on the grassland, and they must not let this hero look down upon them.
But human will cannot be compared with steel. As time went by, the Tatars suffered heavy casualties.
When Huang Baifeng saw this situation behind the formation, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately ordered the drums to be beaten continuously to encourage the troops to continue the attack.
Meng He did not hesitate when he saw this situation, and immediately ordered his soldiers to move forward together, blocking Huang Baifeng's offensive. When the Tatar warriors saw their commander, they also moved forward, and their morale was greatly shaken.
, actually blocked the offensive of Huang Baifeng's men.
However, Huang Baifeng is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He does not use temporary victory or defeat as the criterion. When he saw that his soldiers were unable to break through the opponent's formation, he was not angry. Instead, he ordered the Manchu cavalry around him to temporarily break away from the Tatars.
When the Tatars came into contact, they moved around and shot at the Tatars with bows and arrows.
Meng He saw that the number of cavalry on the opposite side suddenly decreased a lot, but the cavalry on the opposite side was much more willful than the Manchus before. There were so many people on his side that there was nothing he could do against the 10,000 of them.
.
Then Meng He saw countless bows and arrows shooting from all around them, and he knew that the Manchus were beginning to surround him on all sides. If they didn't leave, they might not be able to leave, so he took the remaining defeated soldiers and retreated backwards.
Huang Baifeng couldn't help laughing when he saw Meng He retreating.
Then he said to Muren, the commander of the Zhenglan Banner next to him: "I have heard of Meng He's name for a long time. Today's match is just a local chicken and a dog."
Muren was excited when he saw the opponent's continuous retreat, "General Huang is still more powerful. If we go back this time, the master will definitely give us a heavy reward."
After Huang Baifeng nodded, he immediately mobilized his men and horses to pursue him. They chased forward for twenty or thirty miles, one after the other.
Meng He led his men and horses to escape in front. When he saw the enemy chasing him, he couldn't help but smile. When he was approaching Tushan, he suddenly ordered his men to blow the horns.
As soon as the horn sounded, a group of people came out from behind Huang Baifeng.
Huang Baifeng was pursuing forward, and his troops were already very scattered, but they were suddenly stopped and broken by this cavalry.
Huang Baifeng knew something was wrong at the first sight, and hurriedly ordered the troops to stop the pursuit. Then he led his men to attack backwards, hoping to defeat the troops, and then the two fronts and back groups would join together.
But Meng He could not let him pass easily like this. Huang Baifeng turned his horse's head to attack backwards. Meng He also turned his troops and charged towards Meng He's troops. Then they attacked from both front and back, and Huang Baifeng was killed and defeated.
.
Muren led the enemy troops to charge left and right, but there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the left and right. He knew it was not good, so he hurriedly blew the horn horn and ordered the people of Zhenglan Banner to move closer to him.
The people in Zhenglan Banner were all warriors on the grassland, and they were well-equipped with armor. When they received the order, they desperately moved closer to the center, but the Tatars couldn't resist.
Zhenglan Banner actually gathered fifteen thousand and more people. Seeing that most of the troops had gathered, Muren immediately led his men to break out of the encirclement.
When Muren broke through the encirclement, he turned around and saw that Huang Baifeng, in the middle of the enemy's army, had been tightly surrounded. Although he led his men and horses to break out of the encirclement desperately, there was nothing he could do.
Muren knew that Huang Baifeng was Jia Ke's confidant general and could not let him die here, so he had no choice but to lead the cavalry into the enemy's formation again.
With Muren's desperate effort, the Tatars were immediately punched out.
Meng He had already seen it in the Chinese army, and the Zhenglan Banner broke out, but Meng He didn't take this Manchu cavalry seriously. His main purpose now was to keep Huang Baifeng, Jia Ke's trusted general, behind.
We need to let Jia Ke know that there are heroes among the Tatars.
Unexpectedly, Zhenglan Qi not only did not escape, but instead reorganized his team and came back to fight again. This completely disrupted Meng He's arrangement. You must know that Zhenglan Qi is not only brave and good at fighting, but also well-equipped. They are not Tatars like him at all.
can be compared.
Although Huang Baifeng was trapped in the center with his men and horses, he felt very calm because he knew that the opponent's men and horses were not much more than his own. Although he was surrounded now, it was just a temporary confusion among several parties, which gave the opponent an opportunity.
Once the team calms down, the opponent can no longer surround you.
Sure enough, he saw a chaos in Meng He's rear team, and Huang Baifeng knew that someone was coming to help him, so he led his cavalry to break out in that direction with all his strength.
In this way, Muren attacked from the outside in, and Huang Baifeng led his men and horses to fight from the inside out. The two sides quickly fought through the siege, then reunited, and then fought out of the siege together.
After breaking out of the siege, Huang Baifeng did not dare to stay. He took his troops and retreated towards the camp with all his strength.
When Meng He saw the opponent breaking out of the encirclement, he watched from a distance and did not order the troops to continue the pursuit, because he could clearly see from the previous battle that although the opponent had failed, the number of people lost by both sides was almost the same, which showed the opponent's bravery.
What's more, after the battle just now, more than half of his 50,000 cavalry were lost. If they fight again, they may be defeated by the enemy in one battle.
After all, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain.
