The prairie wind howled in the early morning, blowing on the soldiers' cheeks and taking away their tiredness.

Ten miles south of Guihua City.

Deputy General Yi Bangcai led two thousand Ming cavalry to meet the enemy.

They rode on horses, holding firearms and bows and arrows.

The Ming national flag on the flag-bearing soldier's back fluttered in the wind.

The sun soon rose from the horizon.

The dazzling sunlight shone on the armor of the Ming army, reflecting a dazzling light.

Not far from them, five thousand Mongolian cavalry were ready to go.

They were wearing old armor, and the bows and arrows in their hands showed signs of age.

The left wing commander Guluge put down his clairvoyance and couldn't help but sigh: "This Ming army is too well-equipped. No wonder the Chahar tribe was defeated by them!"

"Yes," the Right Wing Commander Hang Gao followed and sighed, "Their helmets are shining and their equipment is excellent! As long as we don't collapse, even though we have the advantage in numbers, it will be difficult to defeat them head-on."

"Haha," Guluge sneered, "We Mongols are no pushovers! You stand in the face of them, and I will lead my men to go around behind them. The Ming army will surely be defeated if we attack them from both sides!"

"good!"

Without waiting for Guluge to leave, Yibang and two thousand Ming cavalry moved.

They formed a horizontal formation and moved slowly towards the Mongolian cavalry.

When they were 120 steps away, the Ming army suddenly stopped advancing.

Just as the Mongolian cavalry was confused, the Ming army holding the Rumi gun pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang, bang——

The dull and dense sound of bird gunfire rang out in the open grassland.

"Ouch, I got shot."

"Fuck, hiss...it hurts so much."

"There's something fishy about the Ming army's bird guns, everyone please pay attention!"

Although the Mongolian cavalry did not suffer many casualties under the attack of the Ming army's Rumi guns, a small-scale riot broke out.

Seeing this, the right wing commander Hang Gao waved his hand and said, "Pass the order, attack!"

The flag-bearing soldier rushed out first, followed closely by Hang Gao.

When the three thousand cavalrymen on the left wing saw the central army's flag moving forward, they urged their horses to follow.

Countless horse hooves stepped on the ground, making a sound like the rumbling of war drums.

The left-wing commander Guluge hesitated for a moment, then led the remaining 2,000 cavalrymen to charge behind him.

Looking at the oncoming Mongolian cavalry, Deputy General Yi Bangcai did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered: "Retreat!"

Under his leadership, two thousand Ming cavalrymen turned their horses in unison and galloped towards the rear.

"Whoa!" The right-wing commander Hang Gao subconsciously pulled the reins of his horse and stared in a daze at the leaving Ming army.

When the others saw that the central army’s flag had stopped, they stopped their horses and looked towards the central army.

"Why did you stop the pursuit, sir?" asked the personal soldiers around Hang Gao.

"Something's wrong, very wrong!" Hang Gao shook his head vigorously.

From the standoff until now, the Ming army only dared to fire from a distance and did not dare to engage in close combat.

This Ming army gives people a feeling of being timid.

Are they timid?

There is no timid unit that dares to advance deep into the enemy's territory alone!

Since you are so brave, why don't you dare to fight?

This means that the other party must have a backup plan. If we pursue them rashly, we will easily fall into the Ming army's trap.

After running for a while, Yibang saw that there was no movement behind him and quickly stopped.

He commanded two thousand cavalrymen to turn their horses around and return.

Under his command, the Ming army continued to slowly advance towards the Mongols.

When the two sides were one hundred and twenty steps apart, dense sound of bird gunfire rang out again!

The Mongolian cavalrymen were either screaming, bleeding profusely, or being shot and falling off their horses.

Hang Gao was immediately furious!

"Damn it! Our bows and arrows don't have the long range of the Ming army's firearms. This is simply too much!"

"Attack, attack with all your strength!"

He rushed out of the army formation and launched a charge towards the Ming army.

Yi Bangcai used the same trick again and turned around and ran away.

After this happened three times, Hang Gao was furious.

Although he was very angry, there was nothing he could do.

In his view, both sides have advantages.

The advantages of the Ming army were their well-equipped equipment and powerful firearms.

The advantages of Mongolian cavalry are their large number of soldiers, their proficiency in archery and horsemanship, and their expertise in close combat.

As long as he could find a way to engage in close combat with the Ming army, he would be able to defeat the Ming army with his advantage in military strength.

However, the Ming army did not give him any chance for close combat.

They chased and the Ming army ran away.

When they stopped, the Ming army used bird guns to kill people from a distance.

After another failed pursuit, the Right General Hang Gao found the Left General Guluge.

"General Zuo, you have seen the situation. The Ming army only dares to fire from a distance and does not dare to engage in close combat with us!" Hang Gao complained.

"Yeah," Guluge sighed, "They don't want to fight, and they don't want to retreat. What on earth do they want to do?"

"What should we do?" Hang Gao clenched his fists, his eyes wide open, "We can't just retreat like this, otherwise once the news gets back to Huacheng, our army's morale will be low!"

"you mean?"

"At the very least, we must repel them instead of being led by them."

After thinking for a while, Guluge came up with an idea and whispered a few words in Hanggao's ear.

After listening to this, Hang Gao's eyes lit up, "Let's do it your way!"

Under Hang Gao's command, three thousand Mongolian cavalry once again charged towards the Ming army.

Unlike before, Guluge and his two thousand cavalrymen did not follow the charge, but stood still.

Yi Bangcai did the same as usual and turned and ran away.

However, this time the Mongolian cavalry neither pursued nor stopped, but retreated to the rear.

Yi Bangcai didn't understand why, so he led the cavalry to chase after them.

When the two sides were 150 steps apart, Guluge moved.

"Everyone, charge at full speed!" Guluge raised the bow high in his left hand.

Two thousand Mongolian cavalry rushed towards the Ming army at full speed.

Yi Bangcai was shocked and hurriedly ordered a retreat again.

However, this time, his tactic of retreating when the enemy advances and advancing when the enemy retreats failed.

Guluge's two thousand cavalrymen stayed where they were and did not move, their horses still had plenty of energy.

Yi Bangcai's cavalry was constantly on the move, and their horses' energy was quickly depleted.

With the help of the physical strength of his warhorse, Guluge quickly caught up with the Ming army.

Yi Bangcai was forced to fight.

He drew his sword, raised his arm and shouted: "Kill! The Ming army is mighty!"

Bang!

Various firearms opened fire first, shooting the charging Mongolian cavalry off their horses.

Whoosh whoosh——

The sound of arrows breaking through the air continued to be heard.

Ding ding ding!

The collision of weapons produced dazzling sparks, and the two sides fought to the same place amid the neighing of war horses.

Before the Ming army could gain the upper hand on the battlefield, Hang Gao led the remaining 3,000 cavalry to catch up.

Five thousand versus two thousand, the two sides began a fierce battle.

Faced with enemies that were several times larger than his number, Yibang gradually began to lose his strength.

After fighting for a while, Yi Bang reluctantly gave the order: "Retreat, retreat!"
