Five thousand Great Shun cavalry and three thousand Ming Army cavalry collided head-on.
Li Xingzhong and Hao Yaoqi both curled the corners of their mouths upward, flashing the smiles of schemers whose plots had succeeded.
Li Xingzhong's strategy was to lure the enemy deep.
Hao Yaoqi responded by playing along with the ruse.
At first, he had no intention of pursuing the Ming Army, but once he saw the size of their force clearly, his mind changed instantly.
Five thousand against three thousand—the advantage was his.
As long as he could swiftly shatter Li Xingzhong's formation, he would have better than an eight-tenths chance of winning this battle.
Even if he could not break the Ming formation in the short term, he could use the speed of his cavalry to leave the battlefield and reach safety.
