Anshan Posthouse itself is not big. If it weren't for its important location and being the gateway to guard Liaoyang, there wouldn't even be 600 defenders here. You must know that when the Ming army was stationed, this place was just a one-hundred-household garrison.

After hearing this, Babutai turned to look at the Ming troops outside the city. They were all panting like dogs from exhaustion, and there was no defense at all.

So, he immediately turned back and shouted sternly: "We can't give them a chance to recover. They are just beggars like the Dongjiang Ming Army. Gather one hundred cavalry and three hundred infantry. Gather immediately!"

Babutai's determination was made, so his men had no choice but to do as he was told.

Speaking of which, Jianlu was indeed considered an elite. At least from the time the order was sent to the time when the troops were assembled as required, even if there were only about two hundred Jurchen Tatars inside, it was completed in a very short time.

Babutai got on his horse, pulled the reins to stabilize the horse, and shouted loudly: "All the military merits brought to us will go with me to slaughter those bright dogs in Dongjiang outside the city!"

In Jianlu's impression, the Dongjiang Ming Army was an army of beggars, the kind that could only do sneak attacks. Babutai said this, and his men didn't take it seriously, and they all accepted the order happily!

After Babutai issued the order, he waved his hand towards the city and said: "Open the door and release the suspension bridge!"

As the heavy wooden door was pushed open, a "creaking" sound was heard. Then, a "bang" was heard and the suspension bridge was lowered.

This movement was immediately discovered by the Ming army outside the city. What no one expected was that when the Ming soldiers saw the city gates opened and the suspension bridge lowered, their first reaction was not to swarm in and attack the city. Instead, they all gave a "coax" and ran away. They are everywhere, in that direction, running everywhere.

Babutai led the troops and rushed out. He saw this situation before Ma Su could even raise his head, and couldn't help but feel a little stupid. This time the Dongjiang Ming Army was actually weaker than the one in Tianqi’s fifth year!

After hesitating for a moment, he clamped the horse's belly hard, urging the horse to run, crossed the suspension bridge, pointed forward with the hand holding the spear and said: "Kill!"

Obviously, he chose the direction where the Ming army came from and killed them.

A hundred cavalry troops followed closely, but due to the restrictions of the suspension bridge, there were a few cavalry troops passing by each time. However, Babutai was worried that the Ming army fled too fast. He even saw Mao Chengzuo and Liu Xingzhi fleeing back. They were riding horses. If they were slow, they would slip away like loaches.

The Jianlu who stayed on top of the city all laughed when they saw this situation. They pointed outside the city as if they were watching a circus.

Babutai knew that his men would follow, so he urged his horses and moved forward bravely without waiting for all the troops to cross the bridge.

All the Ming soldiers who saw Babutai showed panic and ran away frantically to both sides. Based on his many years of combat experience, Babutai would naturally not hunt down these Ming troops. Once the team is in chaos, it is impossible to regroup, and it is equivalent to being a lamb to be slaughtered. The most important thing at the moment is to continue to disperse the Ming army's main formation. It can be said that his tactics are fine for normal combat!

However, he didn't know that this was a trap set for him.

In the dust, Babutai, who was rushing in front, suddenly discovered that the Ming army in front no longer fled to both sides, but remained motionless on the official road, which was a bit abnormal.

Years of battlefield experience told him that there might be danger ahead. Babutai quickly slowed down. Only then did he remember to wait for his subordinates.

When he slowed down and got much closer, he finally saw clearly the situation of the Ming troops on the official road not far ahead. It doesn't matter if you can't see it clearly. Once you see it clearly, you are immediately scared to death.

Not far in front of him, he saw rows of spears leaning there. Behind the spears, there were rows of Ming troops, all holding powerful crossbows. The arrowhead of the crossbow with its full string gleamed with cold light, sending chills down the spine.

Babutai's men followed him, and when they saw him stop suddenly, they all stopped for some unknown reason. Before he could ask any questions, he heard the "bang bang bang bang" sound of a bowstring. At this moment, the hairs on Jianlu and other veterans stood on end, and some of them instinctively lowered their bodies.

However, it was too late. All the troops in front, including Babutai, were shot by crossbow arrows one after another. Some even penetrated the bodies of Jianlu men and horses and stung the Jianlu behind them. Suddenly, on this official road, people stood on their backs. The desperate screams of people and the painful neighing of war horses were heard together.

Jianlu's cavalry was only about a hundred, and they followed Babutai. They didn't take much precautions, they just wanted to chase down the Dongjiang Ming army. Under this death arrow formation, more than half of them were already dead within a short time.

The spear array deployed on the official road was not used at all. With an order, the spearmen immediately withdrew to both sides and gave way to the official road.

Under the banner of Governor Denglai, a dozen heavy armored cavalry slowly began to accelerate. Behind these heavy armored cavalry were countless other cavalry. The horses' hooves rumbled and they launched an attack on Jianlu's path.

At the same time, the horn sounded "woo woo woo", the sound was very loud and enveloped the sky above Anshan Post Castle.

After hearing the sound of the horn, the fleeing infantry of the Ming army stopped running. After turning around and looking at the official road, they clenched their weapons in twos and threes and started to go back with a little worry. gone.

The Jianlu infantry who were chasing behind the cavalry along the official road were mostly from other ethnic groups in Liaodong except the Jurchens. They were also a little surprised after hearing the sound of the horn. They knew that it was impossible for Babutai to blow the trumpet. That is to say, it is the Ming army who blows the trumpet.

They were surprised. Before they could think anything more, they heard the faint sound of countless horse hooves, getting closer and closer. Many veterans with battlefield experience suddenly changed their expressions when they heard this. This was at least several hundred cavalry, and it was definitely not the loud clatter of horse hooves that Lord Babutai's cavalry could produce!

The infantry's advance slowly stopped, and while they were still hesitating about what to do next, they saw rows of cavalry galloping out of the dusty sky. Especially the cavalry at the front, all wearing heavy armor, reflected the light of death under the sunlight.

There was no chance for these Jianlu infantry to react. Those armored heavy cavalry were like hitting dumplings, knocking the Jianlu infantry on the official road away, moving forward all the way, invincible!

At this time, one of the Jianlu infantrymen who was chasing after them out of the city was still in the city. Under the city gate and on the drawbridge, a team of infantrymen were passing by.

Slowly, the cavalry got closer and closer, and the noise became louder, even the Jianlu on the Anshan Posthouse heard it. It was just so dusty that I couldn't see very clearly.

All debts are due.
