I have to admit that this guy, Manguertai, is very good at leading troops. Such a huge cavalry unit is not at all chaotic during the march. The formation is well maintained. What is even more terrifying is that the morale of the entire team is high. This can be seen from the snow powder aroused by the horses of the Later Jin cavalry and their skillful equestrian movements, as well as the unruly confidence and fierce and firm eyes on their faces. Even through the telescope, Guo Zhiyuan could feel a forceful murderous aura coming towards him!

At this time, Mangurtai also entered the valley. At first glance, he saw Guo Zhiqian, who was standing on the highest point of the hillside and Guo Zhiyuan, who was standing on the horse. Dozens of personal guards in front of Guo Zhiyuan held shields to protect him tightly. In front of him was a neat infantry formation composed of more than a thousand infantry soldiers from the Xin army. They were half-squatting on the ground, holding shields in one hand and flintlock rifles on the shield in the other, ready to shoot at any time, and there were long cavalry lances at their feet, which were prepared to prevent the opponent's cavalry from rushing directly. In front of them, there were several rows of unfinished wooden horses. Obviously, the Later Jin cavalry came too fast, so the fortifications were very simple. On the hillsides on both sides were the positions of the Xin army cavalry. They stood solemnly, and the horses under them were gently taking steps in place, ready to launch an attack from top to bottom at any time!

Manguertai made a fierce throat-cutting action at Guo Zhiyuan from afar, and sneered: "The guy who thought he would dare to sneak attack on the rear of our Later Jin army had three heads and six arms to dare to be so bold. It seems that it is just that. Just such a few people dared to fight head-on with my Later Jin cavalry, which was simply a death sentence!..."

Meleezhen (vice commander) on the side saw this and quickly asked for the battle: "Three Beller, the bold and wise general is empty in front of the formation. It is better to let the subordinates lead the team to rush over and kill the bold and wise general!..."

But Manguertai shook his head and sneered: "Minggou is so cunning. If you rushed over directly, you will be trapped by his treacherous plan. I dare to conclude that he must have dug many hidden trenches in front of the formation. At that time, our war horses are trapped in the trenches, and the cavalry on his wings rushed over from top to bottom. Wouldn't our army be seriously injured?..."

As he said that, Manguertai raised his horse whip and pointed to the cavalry of the Xin Army on the hillsides on both sides, and sneered: "I have been following Khan Ama everywhere since I was a child. How could I be deceived by him? I will send an order to attack his wings first, break the Minggou's cavalry, and then kill the bold and wise general's head!..."

Namele was really boring and quickly flattered: "San Beile is still powerful, and he can see through Minggou's trick at first sight!..."

As the flag of the Later Jin danced, the huge Later Jin cavalry suddenly became two torrents and rushed towards the Xinxin cavalry on the hillsides on both sides!

"Kill!" Thousands of weapons were waving together, and the faces of thousands of slightly ferocious Later Jin cavalry were filled with excited passion and crazy murderous intent. They seemed to have seen their opponents beating up by the iron hooves of their war horses, and saw their opponents showing a fearful expression under the sword they raised, becoming the ghosts under their swords!

But an accident happened at this time. The cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty who had the ancestors turned over horses and were actually the cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty. Before they could start the first round of upward shooting, the snow at their feet suddenly collapsed. No matter how superb the horsemanship of the Later Jin Dynasty cavalry was, it was impossible for them to control the horses flying under their bodies during the high-speed charge. They could only watch one after another like a rolling ball, and they fell into the trench hidden under the snow. They were lucky but had to break their hands and feet. Those with bad luck would go directly to see the King of Hell!

The cavalry of the Xinxing Army naturally could not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Without Li Guo’s help, the arrow rain splashed down, harvesting the lives of the Later Jin cavalry who had been in chaos! After several rounds of volleys, the Xinxing Army cavalry finally moved, and made an arc movement against the edge of the collapsed trench, and once again severely damaged the Later Jin cavalry with the arrow rain. This was originally a tactic that the Later Jin cavalry was good at. They set up a direct collision formation to perform arc movement through superb riding techniques, and severely damaged the opponent with the arrow rain. Now, the formation was messed up by the trap and the Xinxing Army used its own way to exert its own way, and tasted the bitter fruit!

Mangurtai was also shocked. He could not have imagined that Guo Zhiyuan did not dig trenches in front of his main formation, but instead dug trenches in front of the cavalry of the Xin Army. This is too unreasonable to play the game. If you dig the trenches in front of the cavalry, how could the cavalry charge?

He didn't know that Guo Zhiyuan had not prepared to let the cavalry of the Zixin Army and the Later Jin cavalry fight against the cavalry. Of course, Guo Zhiyuan could not do this kind of thing that attacks the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings. Moreover, Guo Zhiyuan knew that Mangourtai had rich combat experience and had not fought with the Ming army once or twice. He was familiar with the routine of fighting in the Ming army. Generally, before the Ming army and the Later Jin cavalry would dig multiple trenches in front of the main general's camp to prevent the Later Jin cavalry from rushing directly. Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan deliberately did the opposite way. Instead of digging trenches in front of his own formation, he dug the trenches into front of the cavalry of the Xin army. In addition, the snow was thick. As long as the branches were placed on the dug trenches, the snow was spread on it, and then the traces were swept away, and it would not be discovered without rushing to the front. It would be no wonder that Mangourtai was trapped!

"Bastard! He actually dug the trench in front of the cavalry formation. This dog thief is so sinister!" Manguertai shouted in anger, wishing to tear Guo Zhiyuan apart. It was the first time he had encountered such a "sinister" guy after fighting for so many years!

Even though he was angry, Mangguertai knew that the battle could not be fought like this. The cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty was in chaos. If he continued like this, the damage would only be greater. He quickly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and reorganize his troops. The cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty was suddenly hit by a critical attack and his morale was already in chaos. Naturally, he wanted to retreat quickly. He heard Mingjin's order to withdraw his troops immediately retreated like a tide. The cavalry of the Zixin Army did not pursue him. He took the opportunity to clean the battlefield and killed the wounded soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty who were not dead, and took the opportunity to kill the uninjured war horses, and prepared for the next round of war!

Manguertai gathered his troops and counted the damage to the war, but he almost vomited blood. After the battle just now, the Jin cavalry injured more than 2,000 people and more than 1,000 war horses, but the Xinxin Army had almost no damage. Such a result had never occurred in the battle between the Later Jin and the Ming army. It can be said to be a great humiliation!

So Mangourtai also tried his best to win a game back, and after letting the troops take a break, he was ready to launch a second round of attacks. After learning the lesson, this time he was going to lead his army to directly attack Guo Zhiyuan's main formation. As long as he broke through Guo Zhiyuan's main formation, Guo Zhiyuan would not be able to play any tricks no matter how "insidious" it was.
