Julu, Jiazhuang, ten miles to the southeast, in the endless fields.
Pieces of red and yellow armored cavalrymen chased each other and fought together. Sometimes they gathered together to kill each other, and sometimes they separated. Bullets and arrows were flying, and spears and axes were thrown. It's also flying around.
Yang Guozhu waved the tiger spear in his hand and killed two Tatar cavalry in a row. When he turned around, he saw a group of knights surrounded by a group of Mongolian cavalry. He shouted loudly and led his own soldiers to rush over.
As he was riding his horse forward, a spear flew towards him. Yang Guozhu held the reins tightly with his left hand and stretched out the tiger spear in his right hand. He slapped it from top to bottom and hit the tail of the flying spear lightly. It fell down easily.
Lu Xiangsheng's Qianzong Zhang Guodong led a group of knights. He had just beaten away a group of Mongolian cavalry when he saw Lu Xiangsheng surrounded by a group of enemy cavalry. Oppositely, Chen An led a group of knights and was blocked there, unable to rush in for a while.
He roared loudly and led the knights under his command to charge forward. As soon as he stabbed an enemy knight off his horse, he saw a flash of cold light beside him. He hurriedly stepped aside and heard an explosion behind him. The enemy knight slashed him with a knife. , the body left the saddle and flew straight back.
When the two sides were fighting inextricably, a large piece of bright red color flew towards a dirt bag about 400 steps away due south, followed by billowing smoke and dust.
On the battlefield, the two sides fighting had different reactions. When the red knights saw the arrival of reinforcements, the crowd became excited. They howled sharply and charged back and forth.
The yellow enemy cavalry looked much panicked. They were evenly matched with Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu and others. At this time, they saw a strange army ambushing the other side.
How could they not panic? Their formation was immediately in disarray. They were attacked by the Ming army knights again, and their defeat was certain.
…………
Zhang Cheng led his troops and galloped up to the soil bag. He did not dare to stop, but shouted: "The post is heading east, intercept the enemy's cavalry. Kill... kill..."
He rushed down the dirt bag, but did not rush towards the battlefield. He predicted that the enemy cavalry would retreat after seeing our reinforcements, so he rushed straight to the east of the battlefield.
Chen Zheng and Zhang Guangda led the front sentry, and the left sentry followed closely behind him. Only Hu Dake's right sentry rushed towards the battlefield where the two sides were fighting.
The distance of four hundred steps was not that far in the first place, and with the horse racing on, it could be said that we were there in an instant.
There was originally a group of enemy cavalry, about 300 men, wandering outside the battlefield, attacking Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Guozhu's cavalry with cavalry fire. At first, they saw Zhang Cheng riding his horse down the dirt bag, and they were originally going to intercept them.
But in an instant, they saw nearly a thousand horsemen on the dirt bag, roaring and swooping down. They immediately turned their horses around, roaring and galloping around the battlefield, raising a cloud of dust.
Zhang Cheng led the knights to gallop down. From a distance, he saw groups of enemy knights protruding from the melee. They galloped wildly and gathered together after being far away from the battlefield. They fled far away in panic.
From a distance, I saw a big man with a square head, riding on a tall war horse, howling at another group of red-armored knights, chasing the escaping enemy cavalry.
Zhang Cheng urged his horse to gallop, and met a group of enemy cavalry that had just rushed out from the battlefield. There were about 200 people. He suddenly raised his right hand, and there was a bang, and a cloud of smoke rose up. The few enemy cavalry generals , the body rose into the air and fell heavily to the ground.
During this pause, Chen Zheng and Zhang Guangda rushed in front of Zhang Cheng and fought in a melee with the enemy's cavalry, howling and neighing loudly while the horses neighed.
The sound of gold and iron clashing was endless, and the three-eyed gun exploded continuously. In a moment, most of the two hundred enemy knights who were already in panic were cut off their horses. The knights used their teams as combat units and scattered around, Cut off the enemy cavalry that rush out of the melee.
…………
Lu Xiang stood on his horse and looked around. More than two thousand Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner cavalry were fleeing in all directions, and groups of Ming knights were chasing them on horseback.
Zhang Cheng galloped up on his horse and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the cavalry has retreated. This battle is completely won."
At this time, Yang Guozhu also galloped over on horseback and said, "Supervisor, there are two thousand versus three thousand on Commander Hu's side. We need to rush to help as soon as possible."
Lu Xiangsheng rode his horse and ordered loudly: "Send the order, Zhang Guodong will stay with 300 men and horses, chop off the heads of the Tatars, gather the Tatar war horses, and quickly return to the camp. The rest will immediately change their horses and go to help the Tiger Army fight against the Tatar cavalry." .”
Guo Yingxian ran back from afar, shouting all the way: "This Mongolian Tatar is really good at riding and shooting, but I can't catch him."
Zhang Cheng looked around and saw that he was covered in blood, holding a machete long on his back in his right hand, but he looked majestic. Guo Yingxian ran closer and shouted: "Brother Cheng came just when he couldn't help but beat this Tatar." ,Ha ha……"

Ten miles north of Julu County, there is Wangju Village, located on the west bank of the Laozhang River. According to legend, a Juren named Wang settled here during the Zhengtong period of Yingzong, hence the name. After two hundred years of multiplication, it has become a large village.
Unfortunately, it is now an empty ruins, without the slightest smell of fireworks, and as silent as death.
To the west of Wangjuzhuang is a large field, with smoke billowing and war horses galloping. Two armies are fighting fiercely here. Looking from a high place, a patch of red and blue intersects, mixed in the vast gray and yellow land, which is really beautiful.
To the east was a sea of blue armor. Hauge commanded the troops of the Qing army Zhenglan Banner and the Mongolian Deke Lei of the outer vassal, as well as the Han army under the command of King He Chenggong. The Qing army of Zhenglan Banner was still in the center, with Deke Lei and He Chenggong is divided into two wings.
About three hundred steps to the west of him, there is a red cloud-like mass of the Ming Dynasty's elite cavalry. They are divided into two parts, the northern and southern parts. In the north are the fine cavalry of Shanxi general Jiang Mingwu, and in the south are the fine cavalry of Shanxi general Hu Dawei. .
In terms of strength comparison, the Hauge tribe has the advantage. They number more than 3,000. However, among his tribe, there are only more than 1,000 elite Zhenglan Banners. The rest are more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalrymen from the foreign vassal of Deke. There are nearly 1,000 soldiers under He Chenggong's command. Thousands of Han troops.
When the troops were at the gate of Gaoyang City, they were defeated and routed by the fine cavalry of Wang Pu and other Xuanda generals. Now everyone has their own ideas. Although Hauge forced his troops to attack, the results were indeed poor.
The two sides have fought for three rounds. It was Hauge's cavalry who launched the charge. Hu Dawei and others did not fight with them at all. The cavalry attacked Hu Dawei's troops. Hu Dawei then led the army to retreat. waist.
The captive cavalry attacked Jiang Mingwu's army and horses, but he also led his troops to retreat without fighting. Hu Dawei side-attacked the captive cavalry on the waist. At this time, Jiang Mingwu led the army back.
After three rounds of contact, both sides suffered casualties. Haug's troops did not take advantage at all. Not only did they not take advantage, they also suffered a huge loss.
But no matter how Hauge jumped up and roared like thunder, there was nothing he could do about the Ming army under Hu Dawei and Jiang Mingwu. The two of them followed Lu Xiangsheng's instructions and just stuck to Hauge's Qing army, determined not to fight with them, and stood firm Waiting for reinforcements, attack Hauge together.
