Cutting the nose and ears are common methods used to humiliate the enemy on the battlefield. They are used to both attack the opponent's morale and to anger the opponent's chief general. At this moment, both armies have formed formations, and the Ming army has few cavalry, so defending first and then attacking will inevitably have an advantage.

If he could anger Abatai with this, he would lead his troops to attack first. This battle would be much easier for the Ming army.

Gao Yi was ordered to cut off Su Muzhe's nose and ears very quickly and threw them aside. Then he ordered the soldiers to untie the ropes that bound him, and gave him another bad horse, and drove him away without even wrapping the wound.

Su Muzhe was stripped of his armor and only wore a white underwear on his upper body. He rode on the horse and blew in the wind. Blood dripped down, and his body was red one after another, and he was extremely miserable.

The two had already fled back to the Qing camp, and the two soldiers who were originally Su Muzhe's personal soldiers rushed forward and helped him to the rear. The Qing army saw them along the way, and everyone was upset and frightened. They were angry that the army fought south and north, and only when the self-army humiliated others, the self-army had never suffered such humiliation. They were afraid that Su Muzhe was also a powerful general in the Qing army, and even he was easily captured by the enemy. In the time when the army was not superior, there was a chance of winning another battle.

Su Muzhe ran to Abatai and fell to the ground, crying and blood, begging Abatai to make decisions for him.

Abatai's face turned into a pig's liver. Su Muzhe was a Han general who was highly valued by him. He was not only brave but also very strategic. Otherwise, he would not have commanded thousands of Han cavalrymen, and his subordinates were sent to attack the Ming cavalry. But after a battle, he was defeated, and even he was captured. He returned to the camp with such a miserable look. Abatai's anger rose in his heart, kicked Su Muzhe to the ground and roared: "It's shameless to lose the battle and let me take the lead for you. He pulled the left and right to chop the enemy aside and use his head to suppress our army."

Several personal soldiers on the side stepped forward and forced Su Muzhe to walk to the side.

Su Muzhe was extremely frightened and shouted: "Master, please spare me, please spare me! If you hadn't issued a retreat order, the morale of the army would have been distracted, the slave might not have been defeated! You can't do this, you can't do this..."

When Abatai heard Su Muzhe put the blame on him, he became even more angry and shouted: "I cut it off, I cut it off immediately."

The long sword rolled up a cloud of blood mist, and Su Muzhe's head fell to the ground.

The generals around him looked different, excited and surprised, but more people died of rabbits and foxes were sad and disappointed. Su Muzhe died of unjust, and he only took responsibility for Abatai's defeat.

The two personal soldiers who helped Su Muzhe come to see Abatai were kneeling there with their fists tightly clenched, their faces were full of unfairness. Su Muzhe was generous and treated his soldiers very well, but he didn't expect that he died at the hands of Abatai, who was loyal to him, and he died unjustly.

Abatai didn't notice the expressions of the two, and shouted loudly in anger: "Zhou Xian's son, he actually insulted me so much. If he doesn't peel him alive, he can't help but swear that he will not be able to relieve my hatred. Come on..."

The generals bent over to the ground and shouted: "Please give an order from the master. I will order troops out of the camp now and kill a single dog in the Ming army."

Seeing the generals expressing their opinions, Abatai calmed down, turned angry and laughed, saying, "I am very pleased to hear you please let me fight! But we cannot fight this battle, at least we shouldn't fight now."

The generals looked at each other, and one of them had a close relationship with Abatai, so he asked, "What does this mean by master!"

Abatai pointed to the opposite side, Yang Sheng said, "Look, the Ming army ahead has reached 10,000 people and has formed an array. Zhou Xian stimulated me in this way, clearly trying to let me launch an attack first. There are muskets, artillery and other firearms in the Ming army. If my cavalry cannot quickly break the low formation, the opponent's weapons can exert their advantages and kill our cavalry in large quantities. Then they can defeat us with their superior forces. If the opponent attacks first, the formation will inevitably fall into chaos, and our army will attack with elite cavalry and will definitely win. Now both sides are fighting for patience. You are strictly restraining your soldiers and obeying my orders at that time."

Fighting is courage! The Ming army insults its own army in this way. If they take advantage of this morale and launch a large-scale attack, they may not be unable to defeat the enemy. But if they are insulted without any reaction, their morale will decline again and again. At that time, even if the Ming army attacks first, who can guarantee that they will win?

Abatai was very angry, but at this moment he said he wanted to compete with Mingjun for patience. The generals who were familiar with him frowned at this moment, and knew in his heart that he was really scared. He might not be afraid of death, but he must be afraid of defeating again. Instead, the generals who were not very familiar with him kept praising Abatai's wisdom.

Amid the praises of the generals, Abatai turned around and whispered to a personal soldier beside him: "Take a few people and go find Haoge immediately, report the situation here to him, and ask him to send some reinforcements to me no matter what."

Zhou Xian led his troops outside the city. The formation adopted by Huang Fei was still in the middle of the Zhizi Camp, Li Kai's Yong Camp was on the left wing, while Gao Jinsong's troops were on the right wing. Slightly different from the city, he retreated the cavalry team led by Jimu to the end of the formation.

The previous fierce battle started with the cavalry team. They suffered little losses, but there were also about 200 casualties. Because more than 300 horses were captured, Huang Fei temporarily drew some horse-riding people to supplement them directly. Those people had not been trained by cavalry, and their riding skills were very ordinary. Huang Fei meant more to ask them to make up for their numbers. Who made the Ming army less cavalry?

Now all the cavalrymen have a total of at least 1,500, which is not reduced but increases compared to the initial one. Most people carry blood on their armor, standing there in a row, giving people a strong sense of solemnity.

Huang Fei returned to the rear formation and ordered Yu Qi to replenish the new recruits brought by Zhou Xian to the rear army, and then told Zhou Xian how he dealt with Su Muzhe.

After hearing this, Zhou Xian looked at the Qing army formation opposite and smiled and said, "Chief Huang, it seems that your plan has not been effective. The formation of the Qing army is still mainly based on defense, and there is no intention of attacking!"

Huang Fei touched the back of his head awkwardly and said, "Abatai, this old turtle, has eaten the weight this time and is determined not to come out! We can only wait until they retreat before attacking."

Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "The Qing army is retreating urgently. If we wait any further, most of the Qing army will retreat to the north bank of the North River in Jinzhou. We have spent so much effort, but it is not just to defeat Abatai's troops."

Huang Fei said with a bitter expression: "The key is that Abatai will not attack now!"

Zhou Xian said in a deep voice: "Then stimulate him again and force him to send troops."
