Di Qing urged the horse under his crotch to gallop forward, casually drew out the spear that was flashing with cold light, and charged again. The old soldiers from the northern border who followed closely behind him had all experienced the wars on the frontier and were once again wearing armor. Facing the huge battle, they did not flinch at all.

Every soldier was ready to die and rushed to fight for his life. Their fearless spirit made the Jurchen soldiers fall down like wheat being cut. In the blink of an eye, the Jurchen encirclement was torn to pieces.

After crossing the Jurchen battle formation, the seven thousand warriors seemed to be one, and they split into two groups in unison, winding along both sides of the Jurchen encirclement, like the bright red arcs on both sides of the bright moon, outlining an amazing yet cruel beauty.

As they circled, the spears in the hands of the crowd were like a forest of sharp swords, constantly reaping lives. In the collisions, cavalrymen from both sides kept falling off their horses and turning into dust. The Jurchen encirclement fell apart in a moment and was in ruins.

Nurhaci frowned when he saw the cavalry rushing out of the city again. Their fighting power was beyond his expectations.

"Great Khan!" The captain on one side saluted respectfully, "These must be the last elite troops of Yunzhou. If we can wipe them out, Yunzhou will be within our grasp!"

Nurhaci quickly weighed the matter in his mind and felt that the captain's words made sense. He estimated that ten thousand cavalry had already left the city and the Yunzhou defenders had already been mobilized in full force.

So, Nurhaci shouted loudly: "All cavalrymen go to the battlefield and surround the Yunzhou cavalry! If any soldier retreats, he will be executed! If the captain hesitates and does not move forward, the entire battalion, from the captain down, will be executed! 8,000 infantrymen, immediately block the north gate passage and set up a barricade!"

"Yes, sir!" The captains' expressions tensed. They had never expected that a sudden attack would turn into a life-and-death battle!

Nurhaci looked at everyone fiercely and said in a cold voice: "If they fail to return to the north, they will definitely choose to take a detour, either through the west gate or the east gate. You must chase them and block them outside the city! Even if you can't wipe them out outside the city, you must minimize their strength. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" The generals took the order and dispersed.

At this moment, the Jurchens came out in full force, with 18,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry, waiting in full battle array between the main camp and the north gate of Yunzhou. Nurhaci stood outside the camp, looking at the battlefield from afar, with only a thousand guards left beside him, but he was not panicked at all, because he was confident that he had already won.

Di Qing, who was circling to avoid the enemy, saw that the pressure of the encirclement suddenly decreased, and shouted angrily to Qiu Chengzhen in the city: "Go north!"

Qiu Chengzhen suddenly realized what was going on. He waved his spear and led the charge. His soldiers followed closely behind him. With the help of the gap opened by the reinforcements, they rushed out like a tiger out of a cage.

The army escaped, and the Jurchen reinforcements followed. After Di Qing's troops surrounded the two wings, they gathered again and followed Qiu Chengzhen to break out of the encirclement. Behind them were more than 10,000 Jurchen cavalrymen who were chasing them.

The earth trembled, thousands of horses galloped, it was like thunder, shocking people's hearts!

The fierce battle lasted for several hours, the sun rose in the east, and the night gradually fell.

Qiu Chengzhen led the army forward, looking at the Jurchen infantry formation in the distance that was ready to go, and suddenly turned his head and shouted angrily: "Shoot!"

Suddenly, a rain of arrows poured down like a torrential rain, overwhelming the Jurchen army, and wailing sounded everywhere. The front-row soldiers held shields, their palms sweating, and faced the roaring cavalry with a flash of determination in their eyes.

The fate of the front-row infantry was already sealed when the cavalry charged, not to mention that the impact of thousands of galloping horses was enough to smash them to pieces.

However, just as the Yunzhou cavalry was about to crash into the enemy camp, they suddenly turned their horses' heads and galloped westward in the astonished eyes of the Jurchen soldiers, without stopping at all, leaving only a trail of dust behind.

Nurhaci outside the camp and Bai Yujing watching the battle on the city wall both sneered at the same time.

Nurhaci was proud that the Yunzhou cavalry did not attack the north gate as he expected, but chose another route.

The Jurchen army that was chasing them closely had become a threat. On the journey westward, the Yunzhou cavalry could not escape the disaster. The outcome was already decided, and they could not help but laugh out loud towards the sky.

Bai Yujing's smile was a satire on Nurhaci falling into a trap.

Watching the entire Jurchen army marching out, Nurhaci had already stepped one foot onto the brink of death, without realizing it.

The 10,000 exhausted veterans on the westward march were facing a life-and-death situation. While the infantry were trying to hold them back for a moment, the Jurchen cavalry had already bitten the rear of the army like hungry wolves.

In a cavalry battle, if one side showed its back, the outcome would often be a catastrophic rout. Worse still, if they could not get rid of this group of Jurchen cavalry, even if they galloped to the gate of Yunzhou, they would not be able to pass through the closed pass. Could they allow the Jurchen army to rush into the city?

Bai Yujing clenched his hands tightly and looked anxiously at the dangerous situation outside the city wall. The expected disaster had already come, and everything depended on how the veteran soldiers of Northern Frontier would deal with the desperate situation at this moment.

Suddenly, hundreds of brave warriors at the end of the column of tens of thousands of veteran soldiers resolutely pulled the reins, turned their horses' heads, and fearlessly rushed into the Jurchen camp.

The Jurchen cavalry behind them were stunned at first, and then sneered contemptuously, thinking that this would only increase deaths.

A Jurchen cavalryman immediately thrust his spear forward, but he did not expect that the Yunzhou cavalryman had no intention of dodging. With a look of madness on his face, he let the spear pierce through his chest. He held the spear shaft tightly on his chest with one hand and fired back fiercely with the other hand holding the spear.

"Puff!" Along with the horrified look of the Jurchen soldier, the opponent's spear also pierced into the chest. In a flash, both of them died at the same time.

They fought with their lives. Although the charge of these hundreds of people was just a tiny splash in the pond to the 18,000-strong Jurchen army, this tiny delay slowed down the edge of the Jurchen formation and made it slightly slower in speed.

After these hundred people, another hundred people turned their horses around without hesitation. There was no fear in any of their eyes, and they charged towards the Jurchen army with determination.

Wave after wave, they never hesitated or retreated even though they knew the outcome would be death.

Bai Yujing on the city wall had red eyes, and the soldiers on the city wall all burst into tears when they saw this scene.

The veterans of the northern border, how tragic!

Nurhaci was already standing on the general platform, looking out at the battlefield. Seeing this scene, he clenched his fists and his face turned pale. The determination of the soldiers in the northern border even moved this eagle on the grassland. Could it be that the victory that was about to be achieved would fall short at the last moment?

The Akabane Camp, which had quietly detoured from the east gate, finally approached the Jurchen camp. The sky was already completely bright, and there was no point in hiding any further.

Fang Yi stood in front of the battle formation, urging his horse and holding his gun, pointing ahead, and roared: "Warriors of the Chiyu Camp, after days of fighting, countless men from the Northern Frontier bravely died. It is their sacrifice that bought us a way to survive.

Today, we are going to give the Jurchen barbarians a head-on blow! I tell you, in the camp ahead is the Khan of the Jurchens, the main general in this battle to besiege Yunzhou.

Do you have the courage to chop off his head with me? ! "

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The morale of the Akabane Camp was instantly ignited. They were about to accomplish the feat of beheading the Jurchen royal family.

Fang Yi turned his horse's head, fixed his eyes on the camp in the distance, pointed his spear, and shouted sternly: "Deploy the formation!"

In the originally silent Jurchen camp, the earth began to tremble again. Looking at the murderous cavalry surging in the distance, Nurhaci felt panic for the first time, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"It's a trap, it's a trap!"

This became the only echo in Nurhaci's heart.

When the Akabane Camp flag came into view, he understood the identity of the visitor.

"Khan! The situation is critical. Please follow us and retreat immediately. It will be too late if you delay any longer!"

The guards beside him also became panicked and shouted loudly.

The moment they noticed the Akabane Camp, two horses galloped like arrows towards the large formation of Jurchen cavalry and infantry, ordering them to return to defend quickly, but the distance had widened and rescue would take time, so the guards were extremely anxious.

"Fang Yi, it's you again. Why is it always you? It's always you every time!"

Nurhaci grabbed his hair, squatted on the ground and screamed in pain. Every time this man appeared, he faced failure again and again.

Originally he was sure of victory, but the situation suddenly reversed and Nurhaci's confidence was shattered by Fang Yi.

The guards around him exchanged glances, and seeing that Nurhaci was on the verge of collapse, they ignored etiquette and rushed forward, half dragging and half dragging Nurhaci away.

Nurhaci struggled angrily: "Let me go! Let me go! Kill! Kill him!"

The guards ignored him and dragged Nurhaci off the platform.

Deep in the camp, thousands of Nurhaci's personal guards were ready to go, and the iron-blooded oath resounded silently: If you die, we will be dead even though we are alive, because the fate of our families on the grassland depends on us.

Therefore, I vowed to use my body as a shield in exchange for the survival of my family.

In front of the battle, a captain of the imperial guards faced the approaching Yunzhou cavalry with a roar like thunder, and his every word was of great importance: "Kill!" Then, the army of a thousand men, fearless of the enemy's three times greater number, rushed forward like a torrent to meet the enemy.

Fang Yi's eyes were focused on the oncoming thousand riders. A cold expression appeared on his face, and the roar was deafening:

"Those who invade our borders!"

"There is no way out!"

The Akabane Camp responded with a roar, the mountains and rivers were moved, and the heaven and earth seemed to tremble.

Fang Yi stabbed the enemy's chief lieutenant with his spear, and without stopping, he flew straight at the fleeing Nurhaci like a dragon through the clouds. After paying such a price, how could he let the prey escape so easily?

The captain fell, blood splattered, but a relieved smile hung on his cooling lips - although he died, his family was able to survive on that distant grassland.

Chang Zhen Lu Qi followed Fang Yi closely, all the soldiers in the Chiyu Camp were brave, with fighting spirit burning in their black eyes. Three thousand men in black armor, the Chiyu Camp flags fluttered in the wind, like thousands of horses galloping, unstoppable, heading towards the Jurchen camp, towards Nurhaci, overwhelming!

When the Akabane Camp charged, the only belief of the soldiers was to follow the fighting spirit at the front and entrust their lives and deaths to him. It was not only an order, but also a belief!

Three thousand against one thousand, Liang soldiers against Rong cavalry, the battle is about to begin!
