A few days later, in early November of the second year of Chongzhen, Zhao led the 4,000 cavalry under his command, heading from Santun camp to the west, and rushed to Zunhua.

This was the military order given to him by the imperial court when he learned that the 100,000 Jurchen army was approaching Zunhua. Zhao Rujiao had already felt like he was going to die for this military order, but he did not hesitate to lead the army to the west.

Zhao Rujiao was one of the most powerful generals in the north during this period. He was ranked alongside Man Gui and was called a powerful general, but Zhao Rujiao was not valued by General Yuan. In the Liaodong Legion, Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and others were the favorite generals of General Yuan.

Otherwise, how could such a military order to assist Zunhua fall on him? Everyone knows that in this era, when the Ming army faced the Jurchen group, they had no way to go out of the city to fight, and could only rely on the city to defend.

Zunhua itself did not have heavy troops. Facing the 100,000 troops convened by Huang Taiji in one breath, almost all the elite troops of the Eight Banners came down. Is there a bird for his mere 4,000 cavalrymen?

Even if you enter Zunhua early, it will be a dead end to face a siege of 100,000 troops. If you unfortunately encounter it in the wild... it will be indescribable.

Even so, Zhao Rujiao came with a stance of dying for his country.

He arrived at Santun Camp last night. Zhu Guoyan, the general of Ji Town, refused to let his cavalry enter the camp to rest. His 4,000 cavalry were just resting outside the camp and marched for three or four days. At present, Zhao Shushuai's army was tired and exhausted, unable to eat well, and he was very depressed.

When Zhao led the coach to gallop and rushed towards Zunhua, a hillside ahead was still at the end of his sight. Behind him, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the north.

Zhao Rujiao immediately became anxious and was indeed ambushed. It seemed that he was about to die outside Zunhua City.

In a hurry, General Zhao kept asking his personal soldiers to issue orders, and led the large army to escape, hoping to fight against the Tartar soldiers heading south from the north.

He rode his horse from east to west, and was raided by the Tartars from north to south while he was marching, which could directly disperse his cavalry team. As for the sound of horse hooves in the rear, he could even catch up and take over the dispersed Liaodong cavalry.

Various military orders were transmitted through the sound of military horns and drums. After Zhao's army turned around, the Eight Banners soldiers from the north and south were already caught in their eyes and were rushing towards them at a rapid speed.

"The north is the yellow flag with no boundaries. It may be that Brother Hao led the team, and the Zhenglan flag behind it. Haha, the Tartars really look down on me, Mr. Zhao!"

After Huang Taiji ascended the throne of Khan, he seized Dudu's white inlaid flag and handed it over to Haoge, and changed it to a yellow inlaid flag.

He himself changed the Zhengbai Banner he led to to Zhenghuang Banner. The two yellow Banners were the main forces of Huangtaiji and his son. As for Duoduo, Zhenghuang led by Ajige, the Yinghuang was changed to Zhengbai Banner and Yingbai Banner.

One of the four major benefactors, Manguertai, is currently the leader of the Zhenglan Banner.

The Jurchen flag was 7,500 people, and the main force of the two cavalry was 15,000. Even if there were more infantry in armor than 15,000 miles, there were thousands of cavalrymen, and they were ambushed in the wild. Three or four thousand Liaodong cavalry were attacked by the 15,000 banner soldiers, and the real Tartars were attacked?

When Zhao Rujiao's side was looking desperate, the general shouted angrily, "Kill the Tartars!!"

In the roar, Zhao Ruizhi led his elite troops to rush towards the army of the Yellow Banner without hesitation.

Many of the soldiers of the family members beside Zhao Rujiao were hesitant and quickly followed his commander to die, thus leading more cavalry to charge.

As a rare powerful general in the Liaodong Group, Zhao Rujiao is a state of thought that he can earn money before he dies.

Looking down from the sky, the two cavalry teams went north and south, and when they were about to rush and collided, they first burst into rain of arrows. The layers of heavy arrows from the elite elites of the Yellow Banner were shot and killed hundreds of Liao soldiers and cavalry in one round. The arrow rain of Liaodong soldiers only brought out one or twenty disabled numbers.

When the two cavalry teams passed by each other, the Liaodong soldiers had already fallen down three or four hundred. Nearly 10% of the numbers, the cavalry in the Yellow Flag only fell down dozens, less than a hundred.

This was already a dazzling victory in the field battle. How many Tartars were killed in Ningjin, which was hyped by Yuan Chonghuan? Every one of them fell here was the Jurchen Tartars, not the Mongolian soldiers and Han slave soldiers.

However, seeing that the heavy infantry regiment of the Yellow Banner in the north had already come to encircle the south, there was a Zhenglan Banner that was approaching rapidly in the east, and there were two or three thousand cavalrymen in the southwest who had just passed through the Yellow Banner in the southwest?

This is a three-sided siege.

Zhao Rujiao shouted to the sky again, "Kill the Tartars!!"

Just as he continued to lead the team around and rushed towards the cavalry of the Yellow Banner, the land in the south also roared again. The roaring momentum, from a distance, gave people a sense of shock of galloping horses.

This time, the Yellow Banner Cavalry Team, which killed three or four hundred Liaodong soldiers, was stunned. They were sure that they had no arrangements in the south.

Could it be the reinforcements of the Ming army and Zhao led the sect??

In the uneasyness of the cavalry in the Yellow Banner, Zhao Rujiao shouted ecstatically that the reinforcements were coming. After the sound spread across the remaining more than 3,000 Liaodong cavalry, all the cavalry entered the carnival from despair, and their morale rose to the naked eye.

More than three thousand cavalry roared south again, paying the price of hundreds again. If it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements, the Ming army would have almost collapsed in this battle. A total of 4,000 cavalrymen were killed and injured in two charges, and only more than 100 Tatars in the Yellow Banner were killed and injured.

For the feudal army, this is enough to lose and escape.

However, Zhao Rujiao still looked at the south with joy.

Even the Jurchen Yellow Banner, the Zhenglan Banner Army was not in a hurry to destroy Zhao Shujian, and they were all waiting and waiting.

Until hundreds of riders appeared on the earth and showed their honor, everyone was stunned.

There were only a few hundred cavalrymen from the south, but from men to horses, they were all wearing black armor, and the helmet was pulled, revealing only two eyes and nose and mouths. They were all 1.67 meters tall on their shoulders, which were only about 1.3 meters taller than the two armies in the battle, and a large headed horse that was a big height of a large part.

The knights on horseback were also tall, and everyone was bent their bows and arrows to wait for shooting. What was even more terrifying was that the hundreds of heavy cavalry, which seemed to be advancing dark sky, had faster running speeds than the light cavalry among the Liaodong soldiers and Jurchen soldiers!!

There were only a few hundred riders, but this momentum, momentum...

Many people started rubbing their eyes. Those guys who ran faster than light cavalry were really wearing iron armor? Not a good thing?

As countless people were shocked, hundreds of new cavalrymen who were wearing the banner of Lu Xiangsheng in Daming Mansion flew over Zhao Ruijiao's cavalry like a black divine soldier who entered the group of cavalry in the Yellow Flag. Even before this, the cavalry in the Yellow Flag started to move and rushed.

But from a distance, hundreds of black-armored heavy cavalry were like cutting tofu with a knife. A rain of arrows shot hundreds of Tartar cavalry, and everyone was shooting arrows and hitting the whole thing!

It was nothing more than some Tartar cavalry who were hit by two or three heavy arrows at the same time.

However, the rain of arrows scattered by the Jurchen cavalry was ejected and no one made any contribution.

Two waves of cavalry collided together? Many Jurchen cavalry were directly knocked away by black heavy armored cavalry. Those who did not knocked away were easily chopped into two petals or flew in broken bodies by slender and sharp Tang swords.

Hundreds of black-armored heavy cavalrymen, in the rapid advance of the killing, none of them fell behind.
