Wang Tingchen's cavalry formed up in orderly attack ranks and surged forward like a rushing torrent of iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the force of their charge, the faces of the roving bandit horse teams spying outside changed color. Many scrambled to get out of the way, though some reckless fools tried to come up and intercept them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the distance between the two sides closed rapidly, the raging tide of cavalry was soon twenty or thirty paces from those bandits, close enough for each side to see the excited or savage expressions on the others' faces. Wang Tingchen let out a roar, and the front-rank warriors raised their three-eyed guns in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fizzing sound of match cords lighting priming powder rose as muzzle after muzzle spewed dense smoke and fire, with a crash like short cannons going off. Amid the scattering sparks, bandits were struck one after another and fell screaming from their horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar of the three-eyed guns was like rolling thunder. When fired, the sound was several times louder than a bird gun, and the noise was quite terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, at close range the power was considerable. Even wearing cotton armor, one could hardly withstand the blast of a three-eyed gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Men and horses toppled in waves. Under the tide-like sweep of Wang Tingchen's cavalry, the bandit horsemen who had been spying and intercepting fell into chaos, and under the three-eyed gun fire in particular, miserable howls merged into one continuous din.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cavalrymen wielding three-eyed guns kept spurring their horses and firing. As they charged, they constantly rotated their gun barrels and lit the priming powder or fuses on the touchholes, aiming and shooting at the bandits, sending the blocking enemy troops wailing in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, the three-eyed gun was not very accurate from horseback. Yet across the Nine Frontier Garrisons, especially in garrisons like Liaodong, mounted warriors still preferred to use the three-eyed gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though on the training ground, a bird gun hit the target ten times more often than a quick gun or three-eyed gun, and five times more often than a bow, and a bird gun could pierce two layers of wet felt blanket beyond eighty paces, or three to four layers beyond fifty paces, while the effective killing range of a three-eyed gun was only twenty or thirty paces, the equipment of northern cavalry with three-eyed guns was still extremely common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was that operating a bird gun was cumbersome, and northern soldiers had no patience for complexity, whereas the three-eyed gun was far more convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, a three-eyed gun had one stock and three barrels, each barrel capable of holding two, three, or four lead balls. When firing, one could use priming powder directly or use fuses, depending on battlefield conditions — either binding the three fuses together to fire all three barrels at once, or firing each barrel in succession, which was very flexible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when each barrel fired, several balls came out, or when all three barrels fired together, a dozen or so lead balls burst forth. Even if accuracy from horseback was low and one ball missed the enemy, out of a dozen or so balls, some were bound to hit man or horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, the three-eyed gun had a low misfire rate, and after firing, one could wield the gun as a cudgel or wolf-tooth club. It was therefore understandable that it was warmly welcomed by northern horsemen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a hundred years, the northern officers and soldiers had long developed a whole series of tactics for using the three-eyed gun. Many veteran warriors already understood the best moment and timing to ignite the priming powder or fuse, and some even used five-eyed guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the five-eyed gun was rather heavy and could only be wielded by the physically strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom, boom, boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cavalry warriors under Wang Tingchen charged through rank after rank, their gun troops in front and shock troops behind. Amid the gunfire, the surrounding bandit horsemen were thrown into utter chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the bandit horsemen had horses, very few of them had the ability to shoot arrows or fire guns from horseback. Beyond the reach of blade and spear, they could only take hits without striking back, which was one of the reasons the bandits had been so terrified at the appearance of the Guanning cavalry back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although not as universally equipped with three-eyed guns as the Liaodong Garrison, where both cavalry and infantry commonly carried them, in his garrison's main-battalion warriors, apart from the shock troops who were expert mounted archers capable of blocking and ambushing, the rest also all carried three-eyed guns. The firearms troops were numerous and their firepower was ample.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tingchen himself was a master of the three-eyed gun. Amid the rolling dust and smoke, he led his retainers charging at the very front, and what he wielded now was an oversized five-eyed gun. He rode on a galloping horse, and though the horse jolted, the hand holding his gun was as steady as Mount Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clamped the gun stock under his right armpit, supported the barrel with his left hand, held the match cord in his right hand, and controlled the horse purely with his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever he encountered a bandit horseman ahead, he took aim, touched the match cord to the touchhole of one barrel on the three-eyed gun, and with a thunderous boom and a flash of dense smoke, several balls flew out from that barrel, and immediately a bandit horseman would howl and be knocked off his horse, or his horse would be hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rotated the gun body, touched the match cord again, and amid another great crash, another bandit horseman was hit. After all five barrels were fired, he alone had struck four bandits — and this was on a galloping horse. His marksmanship was outstanding; he was a master among masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the five-eyed gun was empty, he brandished it with a roar, swinging left and striking right, smashing the skulls of many bandits on horseback along the way into living pulp, brains splattering — utterly bloody and violent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Wang Tingchen, the riders beside him, unable to reload immediately after firing their three-eyed guns, likewise brandished them as wolf-tooth clubs, beating the intercepting bandit horsemen all along the way until tendons snapped and bones broke, and horses vomited blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit horsemen on the periphery looked sparse but were in fact numerous and gathering in ever greater numbers. Yet under the ferocious impact of Wang Tingchen's three-eyed-gun cavalry, they were quickly knocked sprawling in every direction, like cheese meeting a hot iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, the Ming cavalry also used rotating relay tactics. Taking the squad commander as the unit, once the front had fired, the three-eyed-gun troops behind spurred their horses forward to fire, so that the sound of three-eyed volleys came wave after wave, striking without pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Wang Tingchen let out another explosive shout and brought his heavy five-eyed gun crashing down onto a bandit's chest. Amid sickening sounds of shattering bone, the iron-reinforced cotton armor and the breastbone beneath caved in a large patch. The bandit spewed fresh blood from his mouth and fell from his horse, clearly beyond saving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision cleared, and on the broad plain ahead, not a single enemy could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We've broken out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The riders beside him shouted in excitement. Like Wang Tingchen, every one of them was covered head to toe in fresh blood and brain matter, exuding a murderous aura that the timid dared not look upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tingchen gave a great shout, wiped a patch of red-and-white sticky matter from his face, and roared: \"Do not halt the horses. Head immediately for Xiayi. The sooner we secure the city, the greater our chances when the main army breaks through the encirclement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The riders galloped another dozen or so li forward, then suddenly, one after another reined in their horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt the ground tremble, and the shaking grew more and more intense. Looking back, a sky-covering cloud of dust seemed about to shroud the land behind them. Within the dust loomed a sea of banners, and countless horse teams came rushing from the rear left and right, intent on converging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main horse army of the bandits had arrived. Judging by their frenzied surging and the dark, dense edges, how many tens of thousands of horse troops were within?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around at the warriors beside him, every man was biting his lower lip, his face ashen. Though the bandit infantry and famine troops had not yet arrived, with so many bandit horsemen here, it was impossible that the brothers behind would not be entangled. If hundreds of thousands of bandit infantry and cavalry then closed in, their fate would be grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tingchen cast a deep gaze toward the rear. Seeing that the bandit riders behind seemed about to detach some men to pursue, he started to speak, then stopped. Finally, a low growl issued from his throat: \"Go. Follow the original plan and continue to Xiayi. Do not spare the horses' strength — the faster, the better…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the muffled thunder of hoofbeats, the bandit horse troops surged forward in a dark mass, spreading like a tide that seemed to have no bounds, blanketing the wilderness and plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Bianjiao saw the torrent of cavalry surging in like waves from the two wings ahead. Before them was like a tide; behind them, no tail could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, only the bandits' vanguard horse teams arrived and merged with the bandit horsemen who had been spying around the perimeter. After all, although the Chuang bandits had an encirclement plan and a designated meeting point, the battle situation was constantly changing, and the location of the encircled was constantly changing too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To know precisely where the encircled were required constant liaison and searching; otherwise, they might arrive at a place only to find the quarry gone, and risk coming up empty. In this era, without the reconnaissance methods of later ages, a hair's breadth of error meant a miss of a thousand li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the two garrison armies could hardly achieve battlefield concealment. The remaining troops were numerous and just as conspicuous and easy to find. Soon, through mutual contact and coordination, the follow-up bandit cavalry confirmed the location and rolled in near the great army in ever greater numbers — thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid cheers, they kept converging, their excited shouts seeming about to shatter the sky. Within the cavalry formations, banner after banner was raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Cao Bianjiao was leading the remaining horse and foot army. After Wang Tingchen had gone ahead, he led the two garrison armies in a forced march to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But infantry mobility could not compare with cavalry. The cavalry in Cao's camp had to screen the two garrison infantry battalions and the army's baggage train, so they too moved very slowly. They had not gone far before the bandit cavalry finally caught up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the main body of bandit riders rushing in and even encircling the army's perimeter, Cao Bianjiao immediately ordered a halt to the march and had them form ranks and set camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit riders had come faster than expected and looked quite elite. Many officers' faces were grim. Even if the Chuang bandits' full cavalry had not yet arrived, the forces already gathered before them were enough to give the two garrison armies a hard fight, to say nothing of the fact that their entire army's arrival was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was dire. The expressions of the officers and men around him were either resolute or terrified. Cao Bianjiao's expression did not change; he merely sat his horse and observed carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit horse troops had arrived so quickly, and there were many elite riders among them. Judging by their main horse teams, those coming from the direction of Dangshan flew banners reading \"Liu\" and \"Li\"; those from Haozhou flew banners reading \"Yuan\" and \"Hao\"; those coming from the rear, the direction of Yongcheng, were, by their banners, men of the Ge and Zuo Five Battalions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because they had ridden hard, many of their horses were snorting and blowing. Seen from afar, the white vapor puffed from the warhorses seemed to merge into a single mass, and banners of every color stretched to the edge of the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By rough estimate, the Chuang bandit horse teams that had arrived already numbered twenty to thirty thousand. The hoofbeats continued without pause as wave after wave of bandit riders arrived, and the later the arrivals, the more elite their men and horses — dark and dense, with still more men and horses rushing in from the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shaofan also rode beside Cao Bianjiao. He gazed around in all directions. Not far ahead and on both flanks, the arriving Chuang riders had already converged, surrounding the army's perimeter in dense, countless layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking again toward Yongcheng, although the horse troops closing in there were slightly fewer, that was surely a bandit trap. If they went that way, not only would it contradict the earlier plan, but they would also walk straight into the tide of bandit infantry, with consequences too dreadful to contemplate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied the scene for a long time, then said through gritted teeth: \"I have heard that the bandits select and train their troops like raising venomous insects — from famine refugees to infantry, from infantry to horse troops, from horse troops to the elite riders of the old camp. Tempered and winnowed through the fires of battle, those who survive are no ordinary men. Especially their main elite riders, every one a veteran, with three or four horses per man. They use human bellies as troughs to feed their horses, and over time, the horses become fierce in nature. When they face the enemy in formation, they bare their saw-like teeth and long to bite like tigers and leopards. When their riders mount them, it is like adding wings to a tiger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking again at the many bandit riders around them, their bearing clearly fierce and quite different from before, he frowned and continued: “From what we’ve seen of their formations, they were all ordinary famine‑refugee foot soldiers or a portion of horse troops. Now tens of thousands of bandit cavalry are closing in, and among them are many elite troops. The Chuang bandits have put real capital into this — when the time comes, I fear we’ll face a bitter fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commanders had all gathered around Cao Bianjiao. Wang Tingchen’s new army battalion had also been entrusted to Cao Bianjiao. Its commanding officer was a Vice Regional Commander, surnamed Sun, a man of towering build with thick black body hair, originally a pig‑butcher. But after many years of campaigning, his scar‑covered face bore only the marks of wind and frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Wang Tingchen, Vice Regional Commander Sun had a fiery temperament and a violent temper, which suited Wang Tingchen’s taste perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted: “Bitter fight or not, we must fight. Right now only part of the roving bandits’ horse troops have arrived, and their encirclement is full of gaps. If we break out at once, there is still a way to survive. If we wait until all their horse troops are here and their foot troops close in, then hundreds of thousands will entangle us, and we’ll truly exhaust our last strength — a matter of life and death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nature was very blunt, and when he spoke he gave no thought to his tone. Cao Bianjiao of course did not blame him. Yang Shaofan’s expression remained unchanged; he cupped his hands and looked only at Cao Bianjiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Commander.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Commander…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commanders all looked anxiously at Cao Bianjiao, awaiting his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A true man’s heart is like iron until death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Bianjiao slowly murmured the line. He swept his gaze around. Although this Great Ming count’s killing intent surged to the heavens, his voice remained deep and commanding. He said: “Follow the original plan. While the roving bandits are not yet firmly in place, the main army will advance and strike fiercely. Foot and horse will alternate, striking in waves, advancing and withdrawing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said: “Even if we die in battle, we are imperial officers and soldiers — how could we ever fear roving bandits?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, let us fight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Bianjiao set the plan: strike in waves, foot and horse alternating, fighting while moving. Given the situation before them, the open ground ahead held too many bandit cavalry. If they charged with cavalry alone, they would likely drown in a sea of bandit horse troops and the riders would be worn down to nothing — exactly what the Chuang bandits hoped for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To tie down the two‑garrison army and wait for the foot soldiers and famine refugees to arrive, those bandit troops would probably fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these bandit cavalry before them were slightly inferior in fighting strength to their own side, their numbers were far too great — many ants can bite an elephant to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore Cao Bianjiao decided to attack with the infantry battalions, maximizing the power of their firearms, with the cavalry battalions tucked behind to pursue when the infantry prevailed and expand the results. At the right moment, the cavalry could also go in front, with the infantry following close behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to prevent bandit cavalry from suddenly striking the rear, they also needed to deploy a battalion of troops at the army’s rear, with two infantry battalions taking turns covering or attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Bianjiao had considered attacking purely with two battalions of foot soldiers while the cavalry covered the rear, but if only infantry attacked and pursued, it would be hard to expand the results. So alternating foot and horse was most suitable — and of course, at the right moment, they could also do it the other way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice Regional Commander Sun volunteered eagerly, wanting to lead his battalion as the vanguard assault force. Cao Bianjiao refused. Wang Tingchen had entrusted his infantry battalion to him — how could he harbor any intention of using up his subordinates? After all, this wave of attacks was clearly not going to be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Yang Shaofan from his own garrison would lead the new army battalion in the initial attack; behind the infantry battalion, his own main‑force battalion would follow closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Bianjiao’s army was strictly disciplined. Once the plan was decided, a single trumpet call sounded, and at once the garrison’s infantry battalions formed up in order, each unit settling into place. The cavalry battalion troopers mounted their horses. Another bugle command, and at once the great army of foot and horse advanced, each unit in formation. Marching at the very front were the soldiers of Cao Bianjiao’s new army battalion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all wore cloud‑winged helmets. The musketeers wore red cotton‑padded armor; the pikemen all wore blue waist‑length armor. They advanced like a wall, their pikes and muskets a forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the rear, Vice Regional Commander Sun’s new army battalion, equally well‑trained, followed orders and protected the army’s rear, along with the baggage train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Ming army begin to move, the nearby roving bandits did not act rashly. They only followed and spied from the periphery. Ahead, the bandit cavalry even parted in waves to open a path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frontier army’s prestige was well established; deep down, many roving bandits instinctively feared them. Moreover, Cao Bianjiao had ordered them to advance in formation, their bearing stern and formidable — clearly not easy to provoke. How would the surrounding Chuang cavalry dare to move lightly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ancient warfare, when cavalry encountered infantry, there was a saying that one does not fight a formed array. A classic example was the Liao army meeting the Song army: as soon as the Song army formed up, the Liao army would stand still and not move. Otherwise, if they attacked the formation, they would certainly come off worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, cavalry also had its advantages. As the infantry advanced in formation, surrounded by enemies spying on all sides, their nerves would inevitably be strained. Over time, gaps would appear — and then there would be opportunities to exploit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense masses of Chuang cavalry moved alongside the army formation. Seen from the air, the broad plain stretched to the horizon, with trees, villages, and rivers scattered across it. The land was covered with a dark, hazy tide of horses, all surging around a central cluster of figures, and from the distant edges of that horse‑tide, still more waves of horses came flooding in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After advancing swiftly for several li in this manner, the surrounding bandit cavalry gradually began to stir restlessly, because further ahead the terrain held denser villages, ravines, and woods — not very suitable for cavalry operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cavalry operations also require suitable terrain, and the requirements are even higher than for infantry formations. A single ditch suddenly appearing on the plain could turn a spirited cavalry charge into a laughingstock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Ming army reached that area, it was also possible they could head toward Xiayi, easily covering more than ten extra li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horns and drums sounded without cease. The Chuang cavalry ahead and on both flanks continuously converged and began forming ranks. Facing the pressing Ming infantry battalions, they were about to launch probing attacks. Behind them, the troops of the Ge and Left Five Battalions also pressed closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Advance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shaofan led the new army battalion soldiers onward. Watching the bandit cavalry fan out and slowly close in, drawing gradually nearer, he shouted a command. At once a cymbal crashed once, the infantry drums stopped, and amid the trumpet calls, every unit swiftly arrayed itself in full order, muskets and pikes at the ready, fully prepared for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These new army battalion soldiers were all thoroughly trained. They had also experienced the bloody battles of Liaodong and faced the ferocious Tatars. Although the roving bandits were numerous, they were not flustered and moved with methodical composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark mass of bandit cavalry pressed closer and closer. Gradually, they accelerated. Thousands upon thousands of horse troops charged, the thunder of hooves growing ever denser, the earth shaking without pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bearing of these men was indeed far fiercer than the famine‑refugee foot soldiers and horse troops of the past. Some of their men and horses even possessed mounted archery and throwing skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides drew nearer and nearer, the trembling of the ground ever more distinct. A cavalry charge — regardless of the quality of horse troops or cavalry — always made one’s heart pound with fear. Yet the soldiers of Yang Shaofan’s new army battalion still stood solemnly in formation, not a man moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the tide‑like Chuang cavalry entered within one hundred and fifty paces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Present muskets!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers bellowed their commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the musketeers in red cotton armor shouted in unison. The dense rows of muskets in the front ranks swung down, aiming at the bandit cavalry pressing toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions were resolute, without fear. The red tassels on their helmets fluttered and streamed in the autumn wind.
