Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 33 Zha Huizu was killed in battle (please read the new chapter)
Now Li Xianzhong has led more than 3000 cavalry to pass through Crow Falcon Pass. Only because the mountain road is narrow and it is inconvenient for heavy armored cavalry to pass through, they are left behind.

I thought that the Tatars would never be able to catch up and that this was an easy job, but I didn't expect that such a change would happen.

Li Xianzhong had already set off for more than an hour, and now it was impossible to catch him back. He could only rely on checking the more than 400 brothers under Huizu.

What's worse is that the weather seems to be on the side of the Tatars. The heavy snow in the sky has suddenly stopped, which makes the Tatars' advance faster.

Zha Huizu said: "Tell Marshal Li that the Major General has gone behind enemy lines to penetrate. I will try my best to hold the Tatars back, but I ask him to leave unnecessary supplies behind, move lightly, and leave here as soon as possible."

Although it was already dark, under the light of torches, the white snow completely covered the mountain, forming a sharp contrast in the dark night.

The horse's hooves stepped on the soft snow, making a dull crunching sound.The horses galloped through the snow with firm and powerful steps. Every leap caused a splash of white snow, which seemed to blend into the snow.

The marching cavalry was like a giant white python moving through the mountains.

But soon they had to stop again.

Du Du pointed at the scattered trees and cursed: "These damn Ming troops blocked the road again!"

Soon some cavalrymen skillfully tied ropes to the felled pine trees, and then the knights waved their whips vigorously. The pained horses roared, gasped and began to exert force.

Slowly the big trees were dragged up, and some soldiers skillfully piled them on the roadside.

Huang Taiji found that the distance between the trees cut down by the Ming army was getting closer and closer. In the past, these obstacles had to be separated by several miles; now they can be seen almost every mile.

This shows that his judgment is correct, and they are getting closer to the Ming army.

Mang Gurtai complained at this time: "Sibeile, no matter how fast we drag the trees, we can't beat the Ming army's cutting down the trees. If we continue like this, we won't be able to catch up with the Ming army."

This was a simple truth, so Huang Taiji had people take out the map again.

Although this is within the border wall of the Ming Dynasty, Hou Jin's spies have long been spread throughout Liaodong, and the topographic maps in their hands are even more detailed than those of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War.

Huang Taiji said: "Through this forest, there is a small road to the north. Although it takes more than ten miles to go around from here, you can appear at the rear of the Ming army."

"I'll ask Sanbeile to lead the men with the blue flag and walk from the alley. As long as they're fast enough, they should be able to block the Ming army that is creating obstacles for us in front of us."

Zha Huizu still commanded the Ming army in an orderly manner, blocking the advance of the Eight Banners soldiers by continuously cutting down large trees on both sides of the road.They did not let go of almost every place on the road that could create obstacles for the enemy.

However, this also greatly slowed down their own retreat.

Just as they blocked another road, they suddenly found the sound of thousands of horses galloping from behind them, and the violent tremors caused the snow on the surrounding trees to fall.

"Oops, Jianlu must have come around from the alley."

At this time, the road has been blocked by trees, and the armored cavalry can only fight against the trees.

After running in the snow for a whole day, Mang Gurtai was finally able to block these Ming troops. He waved the machete in his hand and shouted: "Warriors, we have finally blocked these Ming dogs. , everyone rush over with me and kill them!"

There is no way to avoid it on the narrow road. At this time, the cavalry on both sides have entered a state of acceleration.

Zha Huizu also took the lead and rushed to the front.

As the saying goes, "When encountering a enemy on a narrow road, the brave will win." Although the Zhenglan Banner had ten times as many troops as the Ming Army, it could not operate at all on the narrow road.

The dozens of riders at the front on both sides quickly entered into a duel.The swords clashed, and the sound of metal clashing echoed off the steep mountain walls on both sides of the road.The harsh sound of metal friction was intertwined with the sharp shouts. The cavalrymen waved their weapons vigorously, like tigers coming out of the mountain.

The horses' hooves trampled on the snow, and the war horses kept neighing. As the number of fallen people gradually increased, the surrounding white snow was soon gradually dyed red.

Zhenglan Banner had made a circle on the ring mountain road before, and combined with the small road just now, the horsepower consumption was actually much greater than that of the Ming army.In addition, the Ming army had heavy armored cavalry, and the Liaodong cavalry had the upper hand once they fought.

Zha Huizu was wearing heavy armor and wielding a broadsword in his hand. Every slash was as powerful as thunder, and the sword was sharp and fierce.He is agile and can use the broadsword superbly. Wherever the blade passes, the enemy's flesh and blood are splashed everywhere.

After a while, the Ming army advanced a few dozen meters.

Upon seeing this, Mang Gurtai immediately raised his sword and went up to fight Zha Huizu. The two swords collided and produced fierce sparks.

Although the Eight Banners' bows and arrows did little harm to the armored Ming army, the hammers, short spears and other throwing weapons carried by the Eight Banners soldiers were still quite threatening.

Many Ming troops in the battle were hit by these throwing weapons and fell off their horses.

Facing Zhenglan Banner's sneak attack, the Ming army in the back row directly lit the three-eyed gun, and dealt a heavy blow to the Jin army in the rear.

For a while, there was a constant sound of gunshots and white mist shrouded the area.

The White Pendulums of Zhenglan Banner were hit by fire cannons and fell to the ground, wailing in pain!
The battle lasted for nearly an hour. Although the Xianglan Banner suffered heavy casualties, the flag's white and red pendulums were almost exhausted.

But their numerical advantage was reflected, and they took turns taking turns to consume the Ming army's physical strength.

At this time, most of the Ming army had suffered casualties, and the remaining people seemed a little weak due to the long period of fighting.

What's even more unfortunate is that Huang Taiji and Du Du's two white flags have also arrived here.

As the last few big trees were moved away, new troops from the two white flags also joined the fight.

The Liaodong cavalry, which had been struggling to hold on, finally couldn't hold on any longer. Being attacked from two sides, many Ming troops lost sight of one thing and were quickly killed by the Eight Banners soldiers.

At this time, Zha Huizu was injured in many places and was already a bloody man.

Seeing all the armored heavy cavalry he had trained with his own hands die on the battlefield, sacrificing their lives for the Ming Dynasty, he could not help but feel a sense of sadness at this moment.

He thought silently in his heart: I, Zha Huizu, can only delay this time for the commander, which is worthy of the Li family. The young general must avenge his brothers!
Then he let out an angry roar and drove away Mang Gurtai who was entangled with him.He rushed straight towards the few Zhengbaiqi who were slaughtering his subordinates and killed them off their horses.

In the end, he died tragically under the spear of the Eight Banners soldiers.

This battle lasted for more than an hour, and more than 400 Liaodong cavalry finally killed twice their number of enemies.

Sanbeile Manggurtai was injured in many places. Compared with the physical trauma, he was more heartbroken for the warriors under his command. Although his Zhenglan flag was not damaged by more than half, all the elite in the flag had been consumed. It could be said that it was useless. Got it!
Huang Taiji also saw Lemang Gurtai's disappointment at this time, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Sanbeile destroyed the Li family's armored heavy cavalry and eliminated a serious problem for me, Dajin. It is really the number one Meritorious minister, I believe the Great Khan will definitely reward you."

"Next, we will pursue the Ming army's infantry with all our strength!"
