Li Chengdong's heart tightened.
"Not good, Red Cannon is finished!"
Ma Zhanshan led the 6,000 heavy cavalrymen and charged at the Red Cannon that was being escorted by Commander Wang Xiao.
The five thousand heavy armored cavalrymen urged their warhorses at the same time.
The ground began to tremble, and Commander Wang Xiao slapped his warhorse fiercely.
"Run!"
The 4,000 Green Battalion soldiers transporting the Red Cannons were stunned.
"The commander ran away!" A soldier shouted at the top of his lungs and ran after him.
The 4,000 infantrymen were so frightened by the 5,000 heavy cavalrymen that they threw down their red cannons and ran.
"Chen Jia, temporarily give up on sweeping the surrounding villages. Immediately attack and protect our Red Cannons!”
Chen Jia jumped onto his warhorse and waved his hand.
The 5,000 cavalrymen urged their warhorses and charged towards the Ma Zhanshan's heavy cavalry.
Even though they were far away, Chen Jia had yet to discover that Ma Zhanshan and the others were heavy cavalry.
When they were less than five hundred steps away, Chen Jia's heart turned cold.
"Not good, it's the heavy cavalry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalrymen had already collided.
The Green Army's cavalry was all light cavalry, and they were sent flying in all directions by the Ferghana horses in heavy armor.
Chen Jia wanted to turn, but he couldn't dodge in time.
One of the heavy cavalry's warhorses knocked Chen Jia's commander away.
Blood splattered everywhere as Commander Chen Jia fell heavily to the ground.
In an instant, he was trampled into meat paste by the horse hooves.
The 5,000 light cavalrymen had been reduced to 3,000.
The heavy cavalry's plate armor was covered in blood and cuts.
Other than a dozen soldiers who accidentally fell to the ground and were trampled to death by the horse's hooves, the rest were uninjured.
The remaining 3,000 cavalrymen looked at their podaos that had been rolled up and were stunned.
Chen Jia's commander died in battle, and the deputy commander took over the command.
After so many soldiers died in one round trip, the deputy commander did not turn back. He led the army and sped towards the Guangzhou government where the white flag of Tudor was.
"General Ma, should we pursue?"
"Don't chase after them. Immediately destroy their Red Cannons and the infantrymen transporting the cannons!”
Ma Zhanshan led a portion of the heavy cavalry to chase after the fleeing infantrymen. A portion of the heavy cavalry charged at the red cannons parked on the ground and ignited the ammunition.
Boom! Boom!
The cannon in red let out a loud noise and was blown into pieces by the dense explosion of ammunition.
Wang Xiao led 4,000 soldiers and ran towards Li Chengdong's camp.
There were less than 500 steps before Ma Zhanshan's heavy cavalry caught up.
The soldiers didn't use any weapons at all. They just drove their warhorses to charge and trample.
Wang Xiao and his 4,000 infantrymen instantly fell to the ground and were trampled into a pile of meat paste.
Li Chengdong was standing beside the temporary camp. When he saw this scene, his head buzzed.
"It's over, heavy cavalry! Chen Jia and the others had escaped, and Wang Xiao and the others were finished!”
Li Xiao Shan shivered.
"Fortunately, Father was a little cautious today and built a camp. Otherwise, when the heavy cavalry charged, all of our infantry would have been defeated!”
Li Chengdong was expressionless as he stood on the ten-foot-tall camp.
After a while, a feeling of depression and doubt welled up in his heart.
"Heavy cavalry? Why would Canming have heavy cavalry? Even the Guanning Cavalry did not have such plate armor.”
Li Xiao Shan also looked at the heavy cavalry in the distance with a puzzled expression.
"Father, we must send a message to Lord Tudor immediately! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"
Li Chengdong hesitated for a moment before calming down.
"Don't worry, the enemy heavy cavalry didn't bring any supplies, so it's impossible for them to keep moving around our camp!”
Li Xiao Shan was enlightened.
"Godfather is right. The heavy cavalry will be very tired. We only need to wait for them to rest and attack them.”
When Li Chengdong returned to the commander's tent, he was deeply shocked by the appearance of the heavy cavalry.
Outside, he appeared very calm. When he returned to the commander's tent, he sat on the commander's seat weakly.
She covered her eyes with both hands and held back her tears.
At this moment, Li Chengdong realized that he had committed a grave sin. If he was defeated, he would definitely be cut into pieces.
Looking at the chariot formation less than five miles away and the heavy cavalry behind him, Li Chengdong didn't know whether to deal with the enemies in the chariot formation or the heavy cavalry at the back first.
Suddenly, Li Chengdong's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Not good, our supplies!"
Li Xiao Shan trembled in fear at Li Cheng Dong's reminder.
"Our supplies are needed for five days. The supply team has transported four days 'worth of supplies, and currently, the camp only has one day's worth of supplies!”
Li Chengdong clenched his fists. No one knew what he was thinking.
Currently, only Li Xiaoshan, this foster son, knew about the military's situation.
Wuuu ~~
Ma Zhanshan led the heavy cavalry to eliminate the enemy transporting the Red Cannon. He turned his horse around and continued to expand the results of the battle. He launched an attack on the supply team that was transporting grain and fodder five miles away.
In the distance, where the supply team was, flames surged into the sky.
Li Chengdong was so scared that he collapsed on the camp.
"Oh no, the supply team!"
Li Chengdong was extremely depressed. His camp was full of infantrymen. It was not worth it to go out and die.
"Godson, is there any way to contact Lord Tudor?”
"The enemy has circled behind us. We can't send messengers to break through the blockade of the enemy's heavy cavalry!”
Li Chengdong was a little desperate.
"Quick, send a messenger to the enemy's camp. We'll have a good talk!”
Li Chengdong was very cunning.
When he couldn't defeat them, he liked to feign surrender the most. If he really couldn't defeat them, he liked to use the gold and silver treasures he had collected to buy a way out.
He clearly knew that the officials in every place of the Ming Empire were the same.
Otherwise, the Ming Empire would not have collapsed so quickly.
Li Xiao Shan was appointed as the messenger by Li Cheng Dong. He brought ten large boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry to the carriage formation.
Pu Zhenguo did not expect that Li Chengdong would send a representative to negotiate because the heavy cavalry had cut off their retreat.
Looking at the ten chests of gold, silver, and jewelry, Pu Zhenguo did not feel envious at all.
Li Xiao Shan frowned.
Motherf * cker! What a ghost!
Why weren't these Ming soldiers interested in these gold, silver, and jewelry?
"Brothers of the Ming army, we are here to negotiate! Of course, if you are willing to join us and follow the Eight Banners Master, I guarantee that you will have a good life! There's plenty of gold, silver, and jewelry!"
