The horse's hooves shattered the tranquility of the earth, and the neighing of war horses and the vibration of bowstrings made people tremble with fear.

Boom!

Amid the sound of horse hooves, two cavalry units approached quickly.

Eighty steps!

The two sides charged at each other with bows, but no one shot an arrow.

Fifty steps!

The horses were running faster and faster, but no one shot arrows.

Thirty steps, twenty steps!

Although the distance was getting closer, the cavalry on both sides never fired arrows.

They knew that even if the soft bows in their hands were equipped with armor-piercing arrows, they would not be able to penetrate the enemy's armor and cause fatal injuries.

The only way is to shoot at close range, which means shooting from five steps away.

Ten steps!

Just as the two cavalry units were about to collide, they turned east almost at the same time and began riding parallel to each other.

Before turning, all the cavalry held the bow and reins in their left hands, and looked for the opportunity with the arrow in their right hands.

The moment of turning.

The soldier shot the arrow as quickly as possible.

The time they aimed was so short that it seemed as if they were not aiming at all.

Strictly speaking, elite cavalry do not aim properly when shooting at each other.

It can be said that he shoots the arrow based on his feel.

Raise the bow in your left hand, put the arrow on the string with your right hand, and glance at it while pulling the bow.

Then the sound of bowstring was heard and the arrow was shot out.

The speed is so fast that it gives people a feeling of being aimless.

After shooting the arrow, the cavalryman immediately turned his head and faced the enemy with the side or rear of his helmet to prevent himself from being shot in the face.

The two cavalry units fought back and forth, with arrows flying everywhere.

The sound of horse hooves and the dense sound of bowstrings were like thunder before a rainstorm, swift and rapid.

Soldiers were constantly hit by arrows, but the armor on their bodies blocked most of the kinetic energy of the arrows, so they only suffered minor injuries.

However, there were also unlucky ones who were shot in the cheek while aiming, and fell off their horses with screams.

Before he could even stand up, he was trampled to death by the horses' hooves.

After a while in parallel.

Seeing that the armor-piercing arrows were ineffective, some Jiannu cavalry began to chase the Guanning cavalry and shoot at their horses with shovel arrows.

The warhorse was in pain from being shot by an arrow and ran around uncontrollably.

There was chaos in the Guanning Army's formation.

Although the individual combat power of both sides was almost the same, the Jiannu cavalry had more numbers and shot more arrows.

As time went on, the Guanning cavalry formation became increasingly chaotic and seemed on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, the leader of the troops turned his horse around and retreated to the rear with the flag-bearing soldiers.

Seeing this, the rest of the Guanning cavalry quickly followed and the Ming army began to retreat.

The Jiannu cavalry took advantage of the situation and attacked.

Two miles away, Guanning Army general Gao Dejie was hiding behind a mound and observing the battle situation in the distance.

Seeing the enemy taking the bait, Gao Dejie almost jumped up with excitement.

Then he felt something was wrong.

Because the war horses of the Guanning Army were slightly inferior to those of the Jiannu, if the enemy had chased them with all their might, they would have caught up long ago.

But the reality is that the other party always keeps a certain distance when chasing.

Although this distance is short, it is enough for the Ming army to retreat calmly when counter-encircling.

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Dejie ordered: "Only send out half of the troops when we besiege Jiannu later."

Soon after the order was passed down, the bait of the Guanning Army entered the encirclement with three hundred Jiannu cavalry.

Bang!

A Guanning soldier hiding behind the earth slope fired the three-barreled gun in his hand.

The dense rain of bullets directly knocked over a pursuing Jiannu cavalryman.

"kill!"

The moment the three-barreled gun sounded, more than a thousand ambush troops suddenly rose up and charged towards the pursuing Jiannu troops.

The pursuing Jiannu soldiers were shocked and fled in panic.

The offensive and defensive momentum changed instantly.

The Guanning Army, which had been chased before, changed direction and chased the Eight Banners Army together with the ambush troops.

Although the Eight Banners' war horses are superior to the Guanning war horses, war horses are not machines.

As the running time increases and physical strength is consumed, the running speed will decrease.

The Guanning Army ambushed the enemy and soon caught up with the fleeing Eight Banners soldiers.

"Shoot the horse!" A Guanning general roared loudly and shot out the shovel arrow in his hand.

The arrow made a whistling sound and hit the horse's belly.

As blood spurted out, the warhorse wailed and fell to the ground, throwing the Eight Banners soldier on its back away.

The Eight Banners soldiers were stunned by the fall and had not yet recovered before they were trampled to death by the horses' hooves of the Guanning Army behind them.

Seeing this, the rest of the Guanning Army followed suit and shot arrows like rain at the Eight Banners horses.

In an instant, more than a dozen Eight Banners soldiers fell from their horses.

Every head counts is a credit!

In order to grab the credit, the Guanning Army slowed down and rushed towards the fallen Eight Banners soldiers.

"Damn it, quickly chase the enemy and don't steal the credit!" The general of the Guanning Army whipped the soldiers who stopped with a whip.

The soldiers had no choice but to urge their horses to continue chasing.

With a pause and a move, the distance between the two sides widened slightly.

"kill!"

The Ming army drew their bows and arrows and chased after them.

"Run!" The fleeing Eight Banners soldiers were not idle either. They shot arrows from behind from time to time, forcing the Ming army to slow down.

Five miles away.

Tong Tulai, who was on his way, received a message from a scout: "Report, our army's pursuers encountered an ambush by the Ming army. They fought hard but were defeated and are retreating towards here."

Tong Tulai suddenly perked up. He stretched his neck to look into the distance and asked, "Are the Ming troops chasing us? How many are there?"

"There are about a thousand Ming soldiers pursuing us, and they are pursuing us relentlessly." The scout replied.

"Great," Tong Tulai raised his arms and shouted, "Let's go and teach these Guanning troops a good lesson."

Under his leadership, five thousand cavalry were divided into three parts.

One part stayed in ambush, while the other two parts made detours from the east and west sides respectively, intending to surround the pursuing Ming army.

Soon, dust rose in the distance.

The Eight Banners soldiers who were deserting were running in front, and the Ming army pursuers were chasing behind.

Just when the Ming army was about to stop the pursuit, ambushes appeared all around.

Tong Tulai personally led 3,000 cavalrymen to ambush the Guanning Army.

"Kill!" He raised his arms and led the charge.

The fleeing Eight Banners soldiers turned around and rushed towards the Ming army together with Tong Tulai's ambush troops.

The pursuing Guanning Army was stunned at first, but after seeing the number of Eight Banners soldiers, they turned around and ran without any hesitation.

The offensive and defensive momentum changed again.

Dust and smoke billowed above the battlefield.

The Guanning Army was like a frightened bird, running wildly in front.

The Eight Banners soldiers were like arrows shot from a bow, chasing after them.

The two cavalry units surged towards the southwest like a tide, one after the other.

The fleeing Ming army suddenly found that there was dust flying in front of them, on the left and on the right.

The dust in every direction meant that there was a cavalry on the way.

Including the fleeing Guanning Army and the pursuing Eight Banners Army, there were five cavalry units on the battlefield.

As the distance got closer, the deserters of the Guanning Army distinguished between friend and foe based on the flags.

The cavalry in front is the Guanning Army coming to support.

The Eight Banners soldiers are in the front left, front right and back.

Five cavalry units met on the field.

Gao Dejie, who came to support, also saw the situation on the battlefield clearly at this time.

After thinking quickly, he shouted to the flag bearer, "Charge in a horizontal formation, break up the enemy's formation!"
