Chapter 853 Subahai's Death (Part [-])
When Li Rusong defeated Dong Huhu, his father Li Chengliang was about to face a big battle.

However, compared to Li Rusong who sneaked into the enemy camp, Li Chengliang's battle was a sniper battle.

Suba Hai took more than [-] main forces of the Taining Department to ride southwesternwards, originally planning to join forces with Dong Huli, but Li Chengliang staggered from his marching route because of his "fake action" before, and had to Knowing that Subahai had already gone south, he adjusted his deployment temporarily, and turned around to intercept Subahai.

This is Li Chengliang's department. It would be impossible for any other department of the Ming army to make such a decision-chasing and blocking the Mongolian cavalry. How confident is this.

Of course, blocking the Mongolian cavalry to fight such a thing is not because no one dares to fight, nor does it mean that if you change someone, you will definitely lose the fight. The biggest problem is that you can't catch up.

The generals who can confidently catch up with the Mongolian cavalry, apart from Li Chengliang, may not be number two in the current Ming Dynasty. After all, Ma Fang and Malanxi who proposed "riding by cavalry" have retired and retired. Li Chengliang can only look at the cavalry now. solo show.

In fact, if the highly pragmatic cavaliers can gather together, they will have such strength, after all...he is rich.

The performance of banknote ability is that Gao’s cavalry not only has good horses, but also pays high and has strict requirements, so if Gao Yushi wants to do this kind of thing, he can actually do it, but it’s impossible for Gao Yushi to call his cavalry together— —He is not a border minister or general. What is the purpose of getting together nearly 2 riders?Even if the emperor didn't doubt him, he couldn't kill himself.

Besides, these cavaliers are also scattered. From Kaiping to Gansu, Jinghua’s thousands of miles of border business roads are all relying on the Qiding Township. Although the face I answered before is useful, it is against the Mongolian official face. As far as the tribes on the frontier are concerned, it doesn't work for the horse bandits on the frontier.

Carefully maintaining this "speed" is something that Gao Yushi has always paid attention to, otherwise, how could he only bring three thousand cavalry with him this time?With his financial resources, can't he bring [-] riders?
Li Chengliang's servants are different from Gao Yushi. The Liaodong Army has an army of 10,000+ on the books. He mainly used the money for raising these 10,000+ soldiers to support his nearly [-] family Ding cavalry (not all of these cavalry belonged to him. This will be discussed in detail later), the treatment of this cavalry will naturally come up, and the battle will naturally work hard.

The reason why Li Chengliang's department dared to chase Bahai at a faster speed was actually because of the word "money".Because Subahai's Taining Department had limited financial resources, and usually would not feed the horses with concentrate, so he had to consider the problem of war horses losing weight.

Li Chengliang, on the other hand, is not as worried about this as Su Bahai, because the so-called concentrate generally refers to feeding soybeans—in later generations, it means supplementing high-quality, large-dose protein to promote the muscle growth of horses.

Of course, those with more money, such as Gao Pragmatism, can even add eggs directly to soybeans, so that the effect is more vigorous.

Subahai is reluctant to add more soybeans, and eggs are basically a dream. Except for some Mongolian noble leaders who can give such extravagant meals to their war horses, it is impossible for ordinary cavalry to play like this. Otherwise, it only takes a month of war. It can break the speed and break the production.

Li Chengliang encircled a lot of land in Liaodong, and most of the "book soldiers" under his command who could not fight had gone to farm. The supply of soybeans was obviously much more abundant than that of Subahai, and this battle was regarded by him as a way to draw closer In an important battle with Gao Yushi, the emperor's close minister and future assistant minister, he naturally did not hesitate to temporarily lose his horsepower.

If the horse loses fat, it will lose fat. As long as it does not run to waste, it will be fine, and it will still be alive and well after returning to raise it for a few months.

But sooner or later, after all, there is a premise of "can't run to waste", so Li Chengliang's team caught up with Subahai only when he was near Xingzhong by the Daling River.

Xingzhong is Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province for later generations.There is another name for this place, which is much more famous than "Xingzhong" and "Chaoyang" - Dragon City.

Of course, there is a lot of controversy about where the dragon city in Wang Changling's famous sentence "but the flying generals of the dragon city is here". It is hard to say whether it is the "dragon city" of Xingzhong, but it is possible.

Su Bahai learned that Li Chengliang's troops were only about [-], but he had pursued them so aggressively. He couldn't help laughing up to the sky, and said to the people on the left and right: "Li Chengliang, in the past, used to rely on the strength of his armored troops, and often drove across our Mongolia. People's pastures are rampant, I thought this person could be regarded as a hero at least among the Han people, but I don't want him to die today!"

He sneered and said: "Li Chengliang is the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. He also exchanged the head of our Mongolian warrior for the title of Ningyuan Bo. Vanguard, go get his head?"

His subordinate general Mandu Ratu came out applauded, and said loudly: "Khan, my subordinates are willing to go!"

Of course, Subahai is not a big Khan, but at this time there are a lot of Khans in Mongolia, and his direct subordinates call him this way, which can also be seen as learning new routines from the Han people.

Su Bahai was overjoyed, and said: "Okay, Mandu Latu, you are indeed a rare warrior, but Li Chengliang is not an ordinary person after all, in addition to your own 2000 cavalry, Ben Khan will give you [-] more, no matter you It doesn’t matter whether it’s going around the camp to shoot, or Mangubai, or rushing into the battle, as long as you promise one thing, Ben Khan, you will mobilize Li Chengliang and let him attack in person!”

Full of confidence, Mandu Ratu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Da Khan, I will not only force him to attack himself, but also take his head as a gift and give it to Da Khan!"

Huo Hai laughed loudly, rode his horse to his side, patted his shoulder, and said, "Fight this battle well, if you win, you will get [-]% of the looted materials from the east of Shanhaiguan this time!"

Mandu Ratu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him, and then took his own headquarters and the two thousand cavalry that Subahai transferred to him, a total of five thousand Mongolian cavalry went straight to Li Chengliang.

The current terrain is like this, with the Daling River to the south, Subahai and Li Chengliang's troops are to the north of the Daling River, Subahai is to the west, and Li Chengliang is to the east.

This means that Mandu Latu can't make a full circle even if he attacks, and if he can't make a full circle, it will be very troublesome if he has to turn around halfway, especially if the opponent is also a cavalry, it is easy to be cut off—— Just like Chataiji truncated Namur.

Chataijin can cut off Namur, and Li Chengliang's cavalry may not be unable to do it, and Mandu Ratu's war experience is obviously richer than Namur, so he does not intend to fight like this.

He chose to approach Zanshe first.

If Li Chengliang is unmoved, he will change to rushing; if Li Chengliang moves, he will change to Mangu, shooting while retreating.

This idea looks good. In a broad sense, Li Chengliang's actions, of course, only have two choices: to move or not to move, and he has made a plan to deal with these two choices.

But what Mandu Latu didn't expect was that Li Chengliang didn't intend to wait for Mandu Latu to show his resourcefulness. Li Chengliang's habit is: I don't care what you think, I can fight as I want, and I have to do it first .

Therefore, an unexpected scene happened. The 5000 people in Mandu Latu had just entered the battle, and Li Chengliang's army moved forward without saying a word, and divided into two groups.

It seems to be the main force of Li Chengliang along the way, flying the conspicuous banner of "Ning Yuanbo Zuo Dudu Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Li", which should be the so-called Zhengbing; about 5000 people on the other side are the right wing, and they come in a circle to the north. This is the Raiders.

It seemed that Li Chengliang didn't plan to wait for Mandu Ratu to launch a raid, because he first sent people to block the route of the raid.

Mandu Ratu was furious. He could see that Li Chengliang's intention was to force him to charge, and the inner meaning of this move was that Li Chengliang was not afraid of him charging at all, and was even waiting for him to charge.

Not far away, Su Bahai narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Chengliang's arrangement in front of him, and suddenly sneered.

The people around asked him why he was laughing, and Su Bahai sneered, "I laughed at Li Chengliang, who won only a few small victories, so he dared not to take my Mongolian warrior to heart, and actually wanted to eat Mandu Latu's five thousand fine horsemen in one fell swoop... ...It's really overestimated, is Ben Khan a dead man who will watch him surround Mandu Ratu?"

The people on the left and right laughed and praised the great Khan for his brilliance and martial arts, and Li Chengliang's clown jumping on the beam.

Quickly brushed Hai's beard and said: "Pass down the order, and when Li Chengliang's two forces encircle Mandu Latu, the Khan's army will directly press down. This time, Li Chengliang's scourge must be wiped out here!"

Everyone suddenly agreed, as if they had seen the "disaster of Liaodong" Li Chengliang die on the spot, they couldn't help showing joy on their faces.

The cavalry was dispatched at an extremely fast speed. While speaking, Li Chengliang's main force had begun to increase the speed of his horse. It seemed that he wanted to charge forward and meet Mandu Latu directly.

Mandu Ratu also began to speed up, but when they were about sixty steps away from Li Chengliang's department, they still had time to shoot an arrow forward, and then hung up their bows and changed their knives neatly, ready to fight.

There were also some cavalry under Li Chengliang who shot an arrow first, but the number only accounted for [-]% of them. It looked like they were all Mongols, or they were naturalized Mongols.

In this case, although the first round of arrows was not superior to Mandu Latu's troops, the effect was slightly superior. Li Chengliang had more than 20 tribesmen, and he had only ten tribes, earning nearly ten people.

However, Li Chengliang, who was at the forefront, didn't even look at it. He still rushed forward in a daze, raising his horse's speed to a level suitable for charging.

Mandu Ratu didn't regard this round of arrow rain as a big event, but he was a little proud in his heart-in terms of shooting arrows immediately, my Mongolian warrior is still invincible.

He didn't realize that because Li Chengliang's cavalry was wearing armor, most of the cavalry who fell off their horses were shot by their horses. In terms of casualties, it's really not that big.

Cavalry against cavalry, the Mongols actually didn't like to do a charge, and they charged each other, so it happened.
