Chapter 109
Sun Chengzong on the wall of Gaoyang City looked to the north. In the wilderness in the distance, there were patches of red and blue armor seas intertwined and reflected. He didn't know which side would be swallowed up.

Leaning on the crenel of the city wall with his left hand, he firmly grasped the hand of the fifth son, Sun Yao, with his right hand, and said breathlessly: "Quickly, gather all the soldiers who are capable of fighting and gather at the north gate. If Lu Xiangsheng confronts the cavalry, we will go out of the city to help." With one arm, he attacked the slave thief."

Sun Yao hurriedly turned around and called his nephews Sun Zhipang and Sun Zhijie, and ordered them to hurry up and go to the west and east walls of the city respectively, and gather all the community soldiers who were still able to fight here, waiting for the opportunity to go out of the city to attack the Tartars.

…………

In the wilderness, the cold wind was blowing, and flags of various colors and sizes were fluttering in the wind.

Hauge looked at Lu Xiangsheng's army formation on the opposite side, and he found that there was something wrong with this group of Ming troops. They were very fast as a whole, and they didn't seem too flustered.

He shook his head, so what?

If I meet Hauge, then even if this group of Ming army is unlucky, maybe they are also the elite of Ming country, but can they still be stronger than Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui's Liaodong iron cavalry?

Even the generation of Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, when they saw our sharp armored cavalry from the Qing Dynasty, didn't they run away with their lives, they only dared to hide in the fortified city and shoot cannons.

The more he looked at the army formation on the opposite side, the angrier he felt, he came at the wrong time, if he came one day late, Gaoyang City would have been captured.

"Damn, Lu Xiangsheng, let me show you how powerful the Qing warriors are."

Hauge was cursing in his heart, but he shouted loudly: "Order to complete the team."

At this time, Najia Lazhangjing Arzin had also changed his horse, galloped up to Haug's horse, and asked for orders: "Lord Su, please send the last general to fight, and it will be Lord Su who cut Naming's dog's head back."

Hauge didn't speak, his eyes narrowed into a slit, facing the slightly dazzling sunlight, staring at the cavalry formation on Lu Xiangsheng's side. From a distance, the Ming army on the opposite side seemed to be a three-row formation of cavalry, with three thousand soldiers in their middle. Riders look left and right, each row has about a thousand riders, spread out, occupying a large piece of wilderness.

On both sides of the middle army cavalry formation, there are nearly a thousand cavalry teams each, protecting the two wings of the Chinese army, which is very similar to the arrangement on his side. In Hauge's view, as long as the Chinese army of the Ming army on the opposite side is defeated , the battle is won.

He turned his head, looked at Arzin with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Arzin, I will send you another thousand fine horses to go straight to the opposite side where the leader of the Ming Dog is, and must break through the Ming Dog army formation."

Arzin received the order loudly, and shouted: "My lord, don't worry, Arzin will never disgrace his life. This battle must be fought against Na Ming."

There was still no expression on Hauge's cold face, he just said in a deep voice: "If you don't break the formation, you don't have to come back."

Arzin was taken aback for a moment, then immediately cupped his fists and said, "My lord, please watch the battle, Arzin will go and cut off the dog's head."

After finishing speaking, he reined in his horse's head, swung his whip to urge the horse, leaped high, shouted and shouted, and groups of Qing cavalry rushed forward. In a short time, more than [-] Qing cavalry rushed forward. Out of the army formation more than a hundred steps away.

There are less than [-] armored soldiers under Haoge's Zhenglan Banner, but these are veterans of many battles, and there are dozens of Bayara soldiers gathered around him, seeing Arzin leading more than [-] knights in front Team up, ready to strike.

He issued another military order: "Decree, tell the Mongolian knights in the headquarters to command De Kelei to attack from the left after fighting with Minggou after Alzin, and to harass the enemy with cavalry and shooting. "

Then he called another Jialazhangjing and ordered: "Dandai, you five hundred warriors, break through the left flank of the enemy, and after breaking through the formation, go straight to the middle army of Minggou;
Send an order to He Chenggong's Han army to use firearms, protect the Chinese army tightly, and prevent the enemy from stealing the battle. "

Afterwards, Hauge ordered the Bayala warriors around him to ride their horses and hold their bows to supervise the formation behind them.

…………

Lu Xiangsheng's side had just finished setting up, all the generals returned to the headquarters, the generals spread their horses to the two wings, and he ordered someone to call for Datong General Soldier Wang Pu, and ordered in a deep voice: "Your department stay behind, I ordered you to supervise the battle at the back, But whoever retreats and does not move forward will be killed without forgiveness."

Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly clasped his fists in salute and said, "Wang Pu, I will strictly supervise the battle, and those who do not retreat will be killed immediately."

After all the ministries had completed their formation, the cavalry formation had been fully deployed. Three rows of knights rode their horses in the wilderness four miles northwest of Gaoyang City. The red ocean stretched for three miles, and it was particularly conspicuous under the sunlight.

Suddenly, there was a violent sound of war drums "dong dong dong..." from the opposite side.

Smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the more than 400 Zhenglan Banner Qing soldiers assembled before the Qing army's formation, rode their horses and slowly approached this side, and the distance between the two sides had narrowed to more than [-] steps.

I saw Lazhangjing Arzin, the armored soldier of the Qing army, charging forward on his horse, and the whole cavalry team spread out to both sides with him as the center. .

Lu Xiangsheng yelled: "Cavalry in formation, the whole army strikes, pace and march, keep the horsepower. Kill the slaves!"

All of a sudden, the sound of shouting orders came one after another, and the cavalry formation of the Ming army also began to move forward slowly at a pace, like waves of red sea waves, constantly rolling forward.

From a distance, Zhang Cheng saw nearly two thousand cavalrymen of the Qing army approaching Lu Xiangsheng's army. He hurriedly called two of his own soldiers to come over and stabilize the horses. He stood on the saddle and took out the binoculars given by Yang Tinglin to observe Qing Changes in the army formation.

I saw that the blue arrow on the opposite side began to accelerate, and now it has changed to a trot, and it began to accelerate gradually. The cavalry behind them has also changed, especially the right wing, which was still forming a team just now, and now it is also moving in four columns to Lu Xiangsheng's position , paced forward.

Lu Xiangsheng held his fine iron broadsword weighing several tens of kilograms, and rode his horse to the front. When the distance between the two sides was reduced to within [-] steps, he also urged the horse under his crotch, changed to a trotting posture, and accelerated to the opposite side Qing army.

A sea of ​​red armor, in a fan shape, began to quickly roll towards the arrows made up of the blue cavalry shooting from the opposite side.

The sound of thousands of horses treading on the ground "rumbled" sounded, and the ground trembled, mixed with bursts of roaring and howling. The red ocean and blue arrows were approaching at a constant speed in the wilderness.

Zhang Cheng separated his legs, sat back on the saddle firmly, and shouted: "The whole army is in a formation of front arrows. The target is the right wing of the cavalry. Don't love to fight. Break through the enemy's formation, go straight to the left wing of the cavalry, and attack the cavalry. Chinese Army!"

Chen Zheng waited for the whistle chief to answer the order loudly, and for a while, the horse neighed and the armor trembled.

"Soldiers, live to die, advance and never retreat. Kill the Tartars, go!"

Zhang Cheng held his knife and big stick, roared angrily, urged the horse under his crotch, and rushed out in a trotting posture.

Chen Zhong led all the guards around Zhang Cheng, and rushed out. Chen Zheng, Zhang Guangda and other four chief guards, led their knights, followed behind Chen Zhong and the others, formed four columns, and charged straight. More than 800 captives from the He Chenggong Division of the Han Army Banner who had just started trotting.
