Di Qing had made a layout early. The positions of the cavalry, auxiliary troops, and militia were all marching in a battle formation ready to fight at any time.

The Meng Yuan cavalry vanguard came menacingly, they were all light cavalry and very fast.

Almost speeding up.

Rushing into the battle formation in front of Di Qing's army, the first row of cavalry ran into the shields set up by the shield soldiers. Between the shields, there were spears.

The war horse was stabbed to death with a spear.

Some Mongolian rebel soldiers were stabbed to death, while others were stabbed and fell off their horses.

The second row also hit.

After the shield soldiers dispersed in a pretense of panic, some of them rushed into the military formation.

A bloody cavalry battle unfolded in the wilderness.

Di Qing and Tenggeda each sent their most elite cavalry units to participate in this battle.

Di Qing's vanguard force is mainly composed of archers and sword and shield men, who move quickly and shoot accurately.

As for Tenggeda's vanguard light cavalry, they only have long weapons such as spears and maces in their hands. They have no armor on their bodies, only cloth armor or no cloth armor at all, and they have strong charging capabilities.

In this battle, both sides invested large amounts of troops and resources, determined to win.

Tenggeda's cavalry came in a charge, which was also in line with the fighting method of the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry, which was to charge and kill.

The cavalry has always been a powerful weapon on the battlefield and a key factor in victory in war.

Cavalry versus infantry.

Almost one against three.

Arrows shot like raindrops at the Mongolian cavalry.

Tenggeda's cavalry relied on its strong protection and charge to advance against the attack of the Dagan Forbidden Army cavalry.

In the collision between the two sides, the cavalry fought with each other with swords and spears, and arrows and spears intertwined to form a heroic scene.

In this battle that had just begun, both sides paid a heavy price.

Tenggeda's cavalry continued to charge forward, killing many Dagan Forbidden Army infantry. In the end, they fell into the military formation and were killed one by one.

Soon, a "rumbling" sound came, and Tenggeda's main army finally arrived.

As a household of ten thousand, Tenggeda still has a thousand heavy armored cavalry in hand, and there are also many cavalry wearing armor, with a relatively high rate of wearing armor.

The Dagan Forbidden Army infantry relied on their strong combat effectiveness and firm will to withstand the attacks of Tenggeda cavalry time and time again.

Di Qing looked at the Meng Yuan cavalry appearing on the horizon, looked at the banner, his eyes were slightly cold, and he raised the horse in his hand.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Following Di Qing's order, the elite of the Dagan Forbidden Army shouted three times to kill, and then charged towards Tenggeda's banner.

The situation on the battlefield has changed.

First of all, there were only three thousand light cavalry left by Tenggeda at the beginning. Now they were divided by infantry and massacred.

The infantry of the Imperial Army immediately adjusted their formation to resist Tenggeda's army. The cavalry was on the left and right wings of the central army, so they could easily change directions and provide front and rear support.

Secondly, Di Qing led 3,000 elites and charged directly from the flank, attacking Tenggeda's flank, attracting Tenggeda's attention. Looking at the banner of the Dagan Forbidden Army, he knew that it was the commander of the Dagan Forbidden Army, so he Immediately adjust the formation and focus on attacking the banner of the Imperial Forbidden Army.

Cries of killing came one after another, and the sound of clashing weapons also sounded one after another. In this wilderness, a bloody battle was staged.

Arrows, swords and spears, cavalry charges, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, fifty thousand against ten thousand.

In fact, the Meng Yuan cavalry had gradually reached the edge of collapse under the constant battles of the Imperial Guards.

Tenggeda also gradually realized that something was wrong, because this was not a madness after a hasty retreat, but more like being prepared and calmly facing the battle.

About half an hour later, Tenggeda was covered in blood. He was surrounded by several soldiers and said out of breath: "Why haven't we seen Huge Rimai coming? It seems that this large force of the Forbidden Army has been prepared for a long time. It’s not like running away in a panic.”

The lieutenant general said: "General, hold on, hold on for a while longer. General Hugurimai may arrive soon. They can't pursue them too closely to make the enemy give up their escape. We are so powerful now, General Hugurimai When I hear it, I will definitely come to support immediately.”

Tenggeda was still a little resentful. He thought he had set up an ambush and the imperial army fled in a hurry. When they encountered his ambush, they must have been frightened and fled.

Who knew that the other party would actually be calm and prepared to fight early.

This doesn't feel like an escape at all.

If Hugrimai didn't come again, his ten thousand cavalry, which were originally an ambush, would probably become the mutton sent by him.

At this moment, a panicked figure appeared on the gentle mountain road at the back of the mountain, riding a horse, galloping over, and said in panic: "General, it's bad, a group of cavalry with unknown banners came from the east. Look, Their equipment should be that of a large imperial army, about 10,000 troops."

Tenggeda's expression changed slightly, and he said a little panicked: "How is it possible? How did they get around to the east?"

The previous intelligence from Hugerimai did not mention these 10,000 troops. It also said that Ulancha's Imperial Guards were fleeing in a hurry and even their formation was in disarray.

Did he really want Hugrimai to come and see how the large army of the Forbidden Army was in chaos?

He was completely prepared, waiting for his cavalry to charge.

The deputy general next to Tenggeda also heard it. His face was ugly and he said urgently: "General, how about... let's go to the southwest first and fight and retreat?"

Tenggeda thought deeply for a moment, and said in an annoyed tone: "I fell into the trap, I fell into the trap!"

He looked at the current battlefield. The 10,000 cavalry on his side failed to achieve the best charging effect. Now they were like being stuck in a quagmire. He said anxiously: "We have fallen into the trap of the commander of the Imperial Guard!"

"The other party is not retreating in a hurry at all, but retreating intentionally to wait for our ambush. He has already divided the Imperial Army soldiers into two groups and wants to attack us from the front and rear. Now Hugrimai hasn't come yet. If this continues , we are at an end!"

This commander in chief of the Forbidden Army is really despicable and shameless!

The lieutenant didn't know what Tenggeda was talking about, what he was falling into, or what he was attacking from both sides.

He only understood the last sentence, that is, Hugelimai has not come to support now, and they are in doom.

The deputy general said urgently: "General, nothing can be done now. We need to evacuate this place as soon as possible, otherwise we may be in danger of annihilation of the entire army."

They still have thousands of cavalry on the periphery, and the other troops are trapped in the formation of the Imperial Guards.

In front of them, Di Qing slowly advanced with the elite of the Forbidden Army, almost approaching them.

If the fight continues, they will face the head coach of the Imperial Guards.

Since General Wanhu said that the commander of the Dagan Forbidden Army was very powerful, this ambush was of no use at all. He felt that the other party was someone like a king.

Thinking about it this way, I feel a little scared.

"General, the enemy is coming."

At this moment, the Mongolian guards came from not far away, their faces full of panic.

Tenggeda's face became more and more uncertain. He looked up and saw many cavalrymen rushing towards him in the direction of the big banner. There was no end in sight at a glance.

This was exactly the 10,000-strong imperial army that suddenly appeared.

The deputy general said eagerly: "General, you lead the troops one step ahead, and I will stop the rear."

Tenggeda regained his composure and said urgently: "We need to leave, let's go together!"

Di Qing's surprise troops set up early escaped Meng Yuan's spies and hid in a secret place east of Chahar.

This morning, I received the order from Di Qing and immediately led his troops.

Ten thousand horses and horses are not too many, but not too many.

But it can play a key role in this war.

Seeing this, Tenggeda's eyes were extremely gloomy under his thick eyebrows, and he said to the deputy general beside him: "Let's go!"

With that said, he led his three thousand elite troops and began to turn around and kill toward the left, while most of the Meng Yuan cavalry were still struggling to resist the offensive of the Dagan Forbidden Army.

The reason why all the troops cannot be withdrawn at once is because the originally orderly retreat will turn into a disorderly rout in a short period of time, and then... no one will be able to escape.

Long and short weapons collided, the sound of bows and crossbows piercing the air, and the cry of killing resounded throughout the fields.

Di Qing came out of the gate like a fierce tiger, holding a horse spear. The tiger was so powerful that many soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty turned into dead souls under the gun.

Di Qing kept staring at Tenggeda's banner and shouted: "Army, listen to the order, don't let the bandit commander escape!"

Follow Di Qing's order and go down.

The guards also shouted.

"Don't let the leader of the bandit army escape!"

Immediately afterwards, even the lieutenants and soldiers also shouted.

In the wilderness, the momentum suddenly became huge.

At this moment, in this wilderness, the shouts of killing were loud.

Tenggeda's riding skills were superb and he was extremely brave. Faced with the siege of the Dagan Forbidden Army, he was not afraid and fought tooth and nail to resist the attack of the Dagan Forbidden Army.

After Di Qing shouted, he continued to wave his horse flag and kill towards Tenggeda's flag.

The killing started again in the west. The Mongolian cavalry who followed Tenggeda and retreated encountered the desperate resistance of the infantry of the Dagan Forbidden Army. For the infantry soldiers of the Dagan Forbidden Army, this time, they had to Strive for great military success.

They were not forced to retreat to Datong Pass. They did not lose, but won.

It's a tactical retreat!

The Mongolian and Yuan cavalry who wanted to retreat were still like fierce tigers. Facing the tigers, the infantry of the Imperial Guard had only two options, either to be killed by the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry, or to fight to the death.

The red-eyed Dagan Forbidden Army cavalry would not let anyone go. The spears pierced the chest and the swords chopped off the heads. Thousands of Mongolian Yuan soldiers were brutally slaughtered by the Mongolian Yuan cavalry amidst wailing and crying. Some of the cavalrymen were so frightened that they hit their horses and fled westward at all costs, leaving their companions to struggle in the hell of massacre.

The Meng Yuan Iron Cavalry, which was originally so powerful, was still thinking of ambushing the Da Gan Imperial Army's Meng Yuan Iron Cavalry here. At this moment, it actually showed a tendency to flee.

Rivers of blood flowed, corpses lay everywhere, and the fighting was not over yet.

Tenggeda found that there were more and more Dagan Imperial Army in the west, and the 10,000 horses in the east also caught up with them.

So far, Hugelrimai has not been seen.

"If you go back this time, I will definitely beat you until you beg for mercy!" Tenggeda was filled with hatred for Hugerimai.
