After the official road of Bailonggou looted Shanxi merchants, Deputy Qiang General Li Chunyang and General Staff Yang Tianhe discussed whether to rob the golden-haired caravan. The two of them looked at the piles of gold and silver walking behind them on the back of the pack horse, and their hearts were filled with complex emotions. When they checked the gold and silver, there were silver patterns in the government stocks, but more were scattered silver with blood stains and gold and silver jewelry. This shows that the source of these gold and silver was mainly from the income from Jiannu's plunder of the people's property. The unscrupulous merchants planned to transport the gold and silver back to Shanxi and recast them, so they had no way to trace the origin of these gold and silver. If the Descendant Army robbed this batch of goods, these Shanxi profiteers who provided Jiannu's food would of course lose all their money.

However, it was too late to choose the ambush again. Finally, they discussed using the direct attack tactic to turn the secret robbery into open robbery. Although they decided to fight the robbery, there was another real problem, that is, how to transport these wealth and goods back to Shenma Fort. Li Chunyang did not know that Deputy General Chen Pang would lead his troops into the pass. Once the war was unfavorable, the rescue army they could count on was the Possess Army in Zhangjiazhuang, the capital. For this reason, Li Chunyang sent someone to send a message to Shenma Fort, asking the left-behind veterans to organize young and strong people to help transport the goods. He and Yang Tianhe led the 580 Possess Army to the east.

The Pou Slave Army actually ran east for more than fifty miles. The scouts in front came to report and found the scouts in front of him five miles away. Li Chunyang was secretly happy when he heard this. He took a rough look at the terrain here. What disappointed Li Chunyang was that it was not suitable for ambushing. Yang Tianhe, the chief officer who came from the back team, looked at Li Chunyang who stopped to observe the terrain, and then looked around at the surrounding terrain. He couldn't help but shake his head. The mountain here is steep and it is very difficult to ambush. Unless the opponent is a novice who has never been on the battlefield, he will definitely be particularly attentive to the exploration here. Moreover, their opponent is the Jurchen Red Flag Slave Cavalry who has been through the battle formation. If you underestimate them, they are likely to be retaliated by the enemy.

As veterans on the battlefield, Li Chunyang and Yang Tianhe almost believed that this was a good place to fight a blocking battle. What they were most worried about was that after the Scouts of the Enchanted Red Flag discovered the Po Nu Army, they formed a blocking position on the hills on both sides. In this way, the price the Po Nu Army paid for a strong attack would not be too little. They had walked through the terrain here, and the terrain of the seven or eight miles of official road ahead was similar to that here. Walking forward, you will definitely encounter the Scouts of the Enchanted Red Flags of the Cavalry. Their original preset attack location was east of the terrain of the canyon, and the relatively open terrain was conducive to the Po Nu Army's firepower advantage.

Since they could not move forward, they could only retreat and retreat five miles to wait for the enemy convoy to walk out of the canyon. The caravan's speed was always not as fast as the cavalry. When the sky was about to end, the scouts of the Ponu Army who were reconnaissance in front came to report that the Shanxi merchant convoy all walked out of the canyon and camped a mile outside the valley. The scouts also reported that the size of the convoy was small, with only sixty box trucks but three hundred cavalry guards in the Red Flags, and the number of the Ming army and the carriage was about six hundred. Perhaps it was late, and the range of exploration of the scouts was narrowing. Although the battlefield martial arts were stronger than ordinary soldiers, they also hoped to stay together for the night.

After receiving the investigation report from his own scout, Li Chunyang looked at Yang Tianhe with a wry smile. Yang Tianhe also smiled bitterly. They all understood each other's intention, which was to fight a night battle that no one liked. But they had no choice. If the Shanxi merchant convoy retreated to the Yizhou Jurchen Red Flag Camp, only hundreds of them were not arrogant enough to fight the tens of thousands of Tartars. That night, Li Chunyang ordered the Po Nu Army to tie white cloth strips on their backs and left arms. They did this because there was moonlight tonight. The soldiers marching behind could see clearly that the white cloth on their backs would not go the wrong way. The white cloth strips on their arms would not be injured in the night melee.

The black armor of the Pou Nu Army is very suitable for night battles. Li Chunyang ordered all soldiers to use thin ropes to fix their armor, put the sword on their backs, and try not to make a sound during the march to facilitate hidden contact with the enemy. The Pou Nu Army, who was preparing for the night battle, did not wait until dawn. It was mainly because Li Chunyang was afraid that the night dream would attract more main force of the Inlaid Red Flag, so the goods they stolen might be lost again. The Pou Nu Army was not perfect in fighting with the enemy at night. The Inlaid Red Flag Scouts had extremely rich experience in the battlefield. When the Pou Nu Army was still two hundred feet away from the temporary camp of the Shanxi merchants, they found the Pou Nu Army that was attacking. The Inlaid Red Flag Scouts shot a whistle arrow at the camp.

The sharp whistle arrows alarmed the cavalry of the Red Flag who were asleep. Their first reaction was to extinguish the bonfire around them and hide themselves in the darkness to reduce the chance of being discovered by the enemy. However, most of the Ming army in the convoy were night blind (night blindness). They did not dare to extinguish the bonfire at all. Instead, they wanted to increase the bonfire light to see the figures of the enemy coming. It was really a master who met his teammates. He had reported that the scout of the Red Flag retreated to the camp with the help of the darkness of the night, but his hidden figure was so clear that it was so bright that the flames were suddenly brightened. The scout of the scout of the Red Flag retreat was only thirty feet away from the Posou Army. The armor of the Red Flag in the Night was red and white, but the white edges were conspicuous. Now their figure was immediately taken seriously by the musket soldiers of the Posou Army.

Several muskets sounded, and five scouts of the Enchanted Red Flag who were still fighting back with bows and arrows fell in a pool of blood. Even in the night battle, Li Chunyang and Yang Tianhe each led a Posses of Slave Army from both wings to eliminate the enemy as much as possible. Since the right-wing Yang Tianhe team was first exposed, they attracted the main energy of the Enchanted Red Flag. Although the Possess Army was hidden in the darkness, the flames emitted from the Musket shooting still guided the attack targets of the Inchanted Red Flag soldiers. The Possess Army fought extremely patiently in the night battle, and it was always a very pleasant thing to eliminate the enemy with the advantage of the long range of muskets. War could not be one-sided massacre, especially the night battle gave the Inchanted Red Flag soldiers the courage to fight.

There are only two situations in the night battle. One is to show the Ming army in the lane. They either fled out or hid at the bottom of the box carriage like the groom in the convoy to avoid the lead bullets hitting the box carriage. The left-wing Pou Nu Army led by Li Chunyang quietly approached about 40 feet north of the convoy. The Pou Nu Army's muskets did not use fuses, which gave the Pou Nu Army the possibility of sneak attack. More than 300 red flag soldiers surrounded the box carriage into a defensive position facing south. They grabbed a wolf-toothed arrow from the arrow bag and shot it to the Pou Nu Army in the south. The Jurchens used bows and arrows all year round and had a deep understanding of the use of bows and arrows. They could accurately shoot arrows to the place where the musket emitted fire from their years of archery.

However, the armor of the Pou Nu Army was specially used to deal with Jurchen bows and swords. Therefore, the shot bows and arrows did not cause too much casualties in Yang Tianhe's army. Since the Pou Nu Army was going to carry out night battles, the silver face armor was easily exposed to its whereabouts, and the Pou Nu Army did not wear face armor. The Red Flag Warriors in the Inlaid Red Flags shot arrows, but they planted many shaking arrows on the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army in Yang Tianhe's army. Only two Pou Nu Army were shot in the face by flying arrows, and more than ten Pou Nu Army were injured in the arms. Although the Inlaid Red Flag Warriors in the Battle with the Pou Nu Army had a certain advantage in number, their casualties were far greater than those of the Pou Nu Army.

The arrows shot by the Inlaid Red Flag Warriors cannot penetrate the armor of the Slaid Army, but as long as the lead bullet of the Slaid Army musket guns is bitten by the armor on their bodies, the armor on their bodies cannot block the huge kinetic energy generated by the pushing the Slaid Guard. Thirty Inlaid Red Flag Warriors who twitched on the ground must have regretted encountering the Bonnie Army, the nemesis of the Qing Dynasty, and they gradually lost their afterglow of their life in the pool of blood. Just as the Inlaid Red Flag Warriors were working hard to shoot with the Slaid Guards in the south, the sound of the muskets suddenly sounded on their backs completely extinguished the final resistance of the Inlaid Red Flag Warriors. After Li Chunyang's troops went down with a round of muskets, more than one hundred Inlaid Red Flag Warriors discarded the bows and arrows in their hands and fell to the ground.

The Jurchens used bows and arrows to shoot at long distances in wars, but one of the big disadvantages of bows and arrows is that they are not suitable for hidden archery. At least they cannot lie on the ground like the Ming army hiding at the bottom of the box truck. Whether the Red Flag Warriors in the Inlaid Red Flag Warriors use kneeling and standing fire, they will become targets of the Slaid Army. When the Red Flag Warriors in the Inlaid Red Flag Warriors were dizzy by the blow from behind, more than 200 Slaid Army in Yang Tianhe's army launched an attack on the enemy's camp in a quiet voice. Yang Tianhe shot the last round of volleys at the enemy when he was twenty feet away from the enemy's camp, and then loaded the ammunition and carried the musket on his back.

They have two purposes for doing this. One is to use the covering firepower to eliminate as many enemies as possible. At the same time, they also warn the brothers on the opposite side, saying that we are very close to the enemy and do not cause accidental injuries. The soldiers of the Pou Nu Army are not afraid of the enemy's knife and arrow injury, but are afraid of accidental injuries of their own muskets. They have all seen the damage caused by the muskets shooting lead bullets in their hands on the battlefield, and they are unwilling to die because the lead bullets explode in their bodies. In cooperation with their tacit understanding, the enemy understands the intentions of Yang Tianhe tribe. They also loaded the ammunition and slowly moved closer to the enemy camp. Under the attack on both sides of the Pou Nu Army, the resistance and suppression of the Red Flag Warriors disappeared.
