Chapter 473 The First Battle between the Two Lees

"Yes, sir."

Under Li Xingzhong's order, the Ming army was divided into two again.

Four thousand five hundred cavalrymen began to retreat, and the other five hundred elite soldiers quickly disappeared into the field.

By the time Li Xingzhong led the main force back to the Zhugan River, Li Shunzu had already eliminated half of Sun Kewang's cavalry.

The remaining cavalry hid in the infantry formation and trembled.

After briefly observing the situation on the scene, Li Xingzhong decided to launch a decisive battle, otherwise the sun would set.

His troops also have the ability to conduct field battles.

Li Xingzhong issued another order while riding on his horse: "Surround three sides and leave one side open. Surround the east, north and south, and leave a gap in the west for them."

"A quarter of an hour later, the cavalry on the east side lined up and charged!"

"Yes, sir!"

While the Ming army was busy adjusting its deployment, Li Dingguo was still hesitating.

Because he had just received a report from his scouts: the Ming army had withdrawn.

He was wondering whether the Ming army was really retreating or luring him deeper into the territory?

If it was the former, he should rush forward to chase after him immediately and rescue Sun Kewang at the same time.

But if it is the latter, he will have to deal with it carefully.

"Where is Jin Tongwu? Has he arrived at the designated location?" Li Dingguo asked.

"It seems... we're almost there!" said the herald after looking at the sun in the sky.

"Send him a letter and ask him to find out the situation of the Ming army."

"Yes, sir."

Two cavalrymen rode out and rushed towards the south.

Jin Tongwu was cursing at this time.

"Did you see clearly?"

"In reply to General Jin, we have seen clearly that the Ming army is gone!" the scout said somewhat unconfidently.

"Say that again, you f*cking fellow?" Jin Tongwu was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

He led 3,000 cavalrymen to cross the river and climb the hill, and finally reached the designated location after a long detour. However, the scouts said that they could not find any trace of the Ming army.

"It's indeed gone. If you don't believe me, you can climb up and see for yourself." The scout lying on the tree said to Jin Tongwu.
