"It's less than two miles away, just work harder!" Zhao Peng shouted and asked the young and strong to work harder. Then he turned around and ordered his Jinyiwei and Yebusu: "The real slave is here, we must protect the people from evacuating safely!"

The Eight Banners Scouts and Cavalry were about three miles away from him. They were all one and two horses. Although they had a fast march of 150 miles a day, because they were one and two horses, they still had enough horsepower to arrive within ten minutes. The people who pushed and pulled the cart had to reach the lake two miles away, which would take at least twenty minutes.

Although there were only more than 100 cavalry soldiers attacking, these scouts and whistle cavalry were the most elite Eight Banners soldiers, many of which were white armored soldiers. If Zhao Peng had more than 1,000 Jinyiwei in his hands, they would be slaughtering on the side of the green camp; but when they faced the Eight Banners soldiers, it would be hard to say.

"All the captured bird guns are loaded. Without the order of the team leader, no one is allowed to fire the gun!" Zhao Peng shouted.

More than a thousand Jinyiwei lined up to protect the rear of the people's convoy, and more than a hundred swordsmen lit the fuse and prepared the thunder. Among the seven hundred spearmen, 120 people took the captured bird guns and were loading ammunition nervously, acting as bird gunsmen temporarily, arranged among the spearmen. The remaining five hundred and eighty people held long spears and formed a long spear formation. The spearmen in the front row inserted the spears obliquely to the ground, pointing the tip of the spears diagonally towards the sky, forming a flat-end spear behind them; one hundred archers were behind the spearmen.

Zhao Peng personally stepped on a war horse and took Wang Quan and 35 Ye Busuo to deal with the Eight Banners' squadrons, while He Xing temporarily served as the commander of the infantry team instead of Zhao Peng.

The Eight Banners scouts approached. When the Qing army saw that the infantry of the "Bandit Army" in front had formed a formation, they did not dare to rush forward rashly. Instead, they rode their horses from the flanks to attempt to attack the "Bandit Army" sideways, and harass the "Bandit Army" from the flanks, and then look for an opportunity to launch an attack. When they were about 150 steps away from Zhao Peng and the others, the twelve Eight Banner soldiers turned over and dismounted, took off their arches, and prepared to shoot light arrows from a distance. The remaining Eight Banners soldiers took out their cavalry bows in their hands and continued to detour to the flanks of the "Bandit Army".

Twelve Eight Banners soldiers dismounted as archers, and there were still ninety-six Eight Banners soldiers riding on horseback. Zhao Peng had only 37 cavalry on his own, so it was obvious that they could not fight head-on with the Qing cavalry, so they could only use flexible tactics to avoid the frontal impact of the Qing cavalry and flexibly deal with the Qing cavalry.

"Swoosh swish swish swish" The Eight Banners' archers had already started shooting. Twelve light arrows flew into the sky with the sound of wind, and pierced into the formation of the Jinyiwei infantry 150 steps away.

All the people who dismounted the horse and shot the archers were Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers. These Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers shot very fast. In a blink of an eye, each of the Eight Banners soldiers shot ten light arrows. One hundred and twenty arrows flew into the sky and fell towards the formation of the Jinyiwei like rain.

The Jinyiwei blocked most of the falling arrows with shields. A few fish that escaped the net were carried down by them with close-fitting chain mail, but there were still Jinyiwei's unprotected arms and legs hit by arrows. The injured soldiers screamed, but they gritted their teeth with strong perseverance, insisted not to let themselves fall, and tried to keep the formation intact.

Seeing that the formation of the "thief army" was still as moving as a mountain, the Qing army leader was shocked for a moment: "I didn't expect that the thief army was so elite! If it were an ordinary Minggou army, I'm afraid that a few rounds of arrows would have shot them long ago! It seemed that the thief had chain mail to defend themselves. Brothers, we rushed to the infantry that bypassed them and shot their people specifically! After dispersing the people, their cart would not be able to take them away!"

More than a hundred scouts of the Eight Banners soldiers galloped towards the Jinyiwei infantry formation. When there were only thirty steps left between the two sides, the Jinyiwei's archers all set their bows and arrows, shooting rounds of heavy arrows at the Eight Banners soldiers.

The Eight Banners soldiers turned their horses and penetrated them to the flanks, using the steering of the war horses to offset the lethality of the opponent's heavy arrows. At the same time, they attacked the Jinyiwei infantry formation with their cavalry bows.

The cavalry was moving, the infantry was still. The arrows shot by the Jinyiwei either missed or hit but could not penetrate the armor of the Eight Banners soldiers. However, the light arrows shot by the Eight Banners soldiers were almost all fallen into the Jinyiwei formation. Only a row of screams were heard. Many Jinyiwei were caught in the arrows, and the seriously injured soldiers fell down directly. The slightly injured soldiers were covered with arrows, but they gritted their teeth and persevered.

Just as the Eight Banners soldiers pulled an elegant arc from the Jinyiwei formation and fifteen steps ahead of them, they heard a "bang bang" sound of bird guns shooting. Fifty bird guns shot in a row, and the guns were filled with smoke. The sound of guns roared. More than a dozen Eight Banners soldiers screamed and fell from their horses.

The thick armor on the Eight Banners' soldiers could not save their lives. The bird gun shot at the close range, and the projectile ruthlessly tore open the double armor on the Eight Banners' soldiers' bodies, pierced into their muscles, tearing their muscle tissues, and soft lead bullets drilled into the human head, deformed and expanded, and drilled into the front, which was a hole the size of a pigeon egg, but drilled out from the back but left a hole the size of a bowl.

The thirteen Eight Banners soldiers who were shot screamed and fell off their horses. Some of them were beaten to death on the spot. Those who were beaten to death on the spot were lucky. The injured Eight Banners soldiers were the most unlucky. They would not die for a while and eventually died in pain.

Thirteen scouts and whistle cavalry suddenly lost, causing the Eight Banners Zuoling to twitch the corners of his mouth. He had already seen that these "thieves" in front of him were definitely not ordinary "thieves", but should be the elite among the "trespassers". Of course, Zuoling would not be confused because of someone's losses and let the cavalry rush to the neat infantry formation, but would be more determined to bypass the infantry and attack the people.

Seeing that the Qing army had bypassed his infantry formation and rushed towards his convoy. He turned the horse's head, took off the powerful riding bow on his back, and pulled the bowstring. The bow weighing 120 kilograms was pulled by him and made a "rattle" sound. The bowstring was pulled into a full moon shape. Zhao Peng suddenly turned around and turned around to aim at the Eight Banners soldier wearing an iron helmet and silver iron leaf armor, and relaxed his hand.

"Swoosh" heavy arrows filled with force roared out. The Eight Banners soldiers thirty steps away were rushing forward with the help of horsepower. Unpredictable, a heavy arrow shot towards him. The white-armored soldier was caught off guard and shot into his left eye by an arrow. The arrow shot into his eyes and drilled out from the back of his head with a blood sword. The white-armored soldier fell from the back of his horse without even screaming.

"Let's go!" Zhao Peng shouted and turned around and left with thirty-seven Ye Bushang.

The Qing army shot arrows towards Ye Busui's back, but because Ye Busui was riding a horse away, the arrows catching up from behind were no longer strong. Ye Busui turned around and shot arrows, and the Qing soldiers collided head-on, which invisibly made Ye Busui, who turned around and shot arrows, increased the range. This is the principle of the Mongol Manguda.

However, most of the riding bows that were not collected at night could not shoot through the Qing army's armor, and they did not have as accurate archery as Zhao Peng. They could shoot the enemy's face on the bumpy horse's back. The arrows they shot were at most to harass the Qing army.

Zhao Peng turned around and shot another arrow, took away an Eight Flag Red Armor Bayala, and then shouted: "Hurry up, lead Jiannu to our infantry formation! Use infantry to destroy them!"

Thirty-eight cavalry led the Qing army scouts and whistle cavalry and galloped towards their own infantry formation.
