Before the sound of the shrill howling signal flare dissipated, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves appeared in Ye Kai's ears, and for a moment he had an extremely ridiculous feeling.

When did the Vietnamese play cavalry?

They've never been good at it! Besides, if you run a horse in the tropics, this horse can't stand it!

Ye Kai's team is now walking along a river that is not abundant, with a relatively dense jungle on his left and a large gentle slope on his right, which has been reclaimed by local farmers for patches of rice fields.

The whining horn sounded, and the officers at all levels, from Louis Gaston down, began to direct the infantry in line according to their usual training, and the infantry without the formation could not fight the cavalry, not even with flintlock pistols!

A few crooked square formations were barely placed, and in the jungle on the left, like an ant's nest that had been stabbed, densely packed, cavalry riding short war horses appeared!

They looked like they had grown out of the jungle, their khaki leather armor covered with all sorts of chain mail, and most of the cavalry had short bows in their hands and firecrackers on their backs.

"Bayonets on the front row, squat!" A French officer in an iron helmet howled loudly, and the soldiers in the front two rows of soldiers in front of a phalanx of cavalry half-crouched down, inserted the long-barreled brown bass rifle with bayonets on the ground, and then held the barrel of the gun with his hand, forming a simple forest of spears, while the soldiers in the back row made a shooting posture with flat-ended flintlock pistols.

After a slight pause with the cavalry rushing out of the jungle, they didn't seem to expect the opponent on the opposite side to form a formation so quickly, you must know that from the other party's scouts raised the alarm, it was only ten minutes, and those who could barely complete the formation in ten minutes were definitely the elite of the elite.

"Boom! Boom! "At least five or six hundred cavalry suddenly appeared and shot the first wave of arrows, it looks like the sky is full of flying arrows, extremely terrifying, but in fact the power is not very great, now the two sides are still separated by dozens of meters, and the riding bow is relatively soft, still in motion.

If the Mongols on horseback gave Ye Kai's infantry such a visit, he would have suffered a lot of losses, but it was the Vietnamese, and the power would be greatly reduced!

It didn't seem like much of the rain of arrows had fallen on the first battalion, but a dozen or so infantry fell to the ground screaming, but nothing else mattered except for one unlucky guy who had been shot through the neck.

"Boom!" It's quite neat flintlock pistols fired, that is, it's almost a sound, a distance of dozens of meters, people are still cavalry in high-speed movement, more than 200 flintlock pistols, even people and horses, I don't know if I have overturned fifteen horsemen?

The leader, a cavalry officer in dark gold armor, whistled extremely loudly, and the cavalrymen, who had finished firing a round of bows and arrows, whizzed around in front of the formation of the first battalion, and then went to the left.

They are not the kind of cuirassiers who can charge directly into battle, seeing that the formation on the opposite side is not chaotic, there is no temptation, and they are flashed cleanly!

In fact, even the cuirassiers of Europe, and there are very few infantry who directly come to attack the formation of the formation, which is to find death again.

Not so good! Ye Kai frowned, it was obvious that these cavalry were here to make a surprise attack, if it didn't achieve the effect, it should be to watch them and wait for the big army to come, how could they just take a look and go to the left?

Suddenly he shook violently, not good! On the left is Li Wenyun's baggage army, he only has 3,000 combat strength to protect the rear army, and it is estimated that there is still about a kilometer between himself, if he is rushed by thousands of cavalry, it is likely to collapse!

The order flag waved, the drum sounded, and the soldiers of the first company of Chen Wenqi's third battalion had just lined up and were ready to move to the left, when the whistling cavalry turned back, although they did not rush up directly to attack, but the intention was obvious, as long as you dared to move, the formation was chaotic, and they rushed up!

Maintaining a good formation while moving is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do, especially when you are still facing a threat to your life at any time!

The first company of the third battalion only moved about ten paces, and the company commander, who was sweating profusely, quickly stopped and reformed a phalanx to prevent the onslaught of the cavalry on the opposite side.

"Knock knock!" The fierce war drums sounded in the jungle, and the cavalry who had been eyeing Ye Kai's side from a distance of more than a hundred meters also cheered loudly, and then there were louder cheers from the jungle, accompanied by the sound of war elephants.

As if it appeared out of thin air, all kinds of bright flags appeared from the jungle opposite, at least tens of thousands of soldiers from the Xishan Dynasty wearing khaki armor and red turbans, forming a neat formation and walking out of the dense forest, and there were more than a dozen tall war elephants wearing colorful cloths in the middle of the team.

"Bang! Bang! Fifty light infantry, who had hurried over, took a few steps forward to the beat of the drums and began to fire at the soldiers who had come out of the jungle.

A cavalry captain wearing a mountain-like armor and an eight-petal helmet held a war knife in his right hand and a red flag in his left hand, directing the soldiers around him to keep the formation forward.

Suddenly, as if he had been struck by an invisible hammer, he flew up and fell backwards, a faint smoke rose, and the infantry beside the captain fell to the ground screaming.

However, the body of the Xiao cavalry captain only landed, and there was almost no hesitation, a soldier wearing a red turban took the red flag in the left hand of the Xiao cavalry captain, and roared angrily, and the Xishan army front, which was originally a little flustered, was immediately stabilized.

The big drum on a war elephant sounded, and the soldiers of the Xishan Army who were walking quickly suddenly roared collectively, and everyone drew out the long knives and axes in their hands, and began to charge like hormones!

The blood-red bandana and the silver-white steel knife look extremely scary!

When he met the elite, Chen Wenqi only had this one thought in his heart, and the Xishan Army infantry that he rushed over frontally was only 11,200 people at most, but as soon as he showed up the Xiao cavalry captain who held the flag, he was killed, and the soldiers were also knocked over by the light infantry More than 30 people, none of them were timid, and they dared to charge hundreds of flintlock pistols with steel knives!

The so-called Bugis elite outside Ganmaxi is not comparable to them in terms of momentum alone!

"Fire!" Chen Wenqi struggled to control his heartbeat, and waited until the Xishan Army rushed to almost fifty meters before giving the order to open fire.

One hundred and eighty flintlock muskets fired about one hundred and sixty shots, and the blazing buckshot knocked over the rushing Xishan army in one fell swoop.

"Mom!" A soldier of the Xishan Army covered his bleeding eyes and rolled on the ground like an earthworm.

A soldier next to him who had been punctured through his trachea was about to spit out of his sockets, his black hands scratching marks on the ground, and his nose twitching vigorously, as if he wanted to pump the air around him into his lungs.

The soldiers of the Xishan Army only paused slightly, and a more intense drum beat came, and the team with a belly covered waved their hands, roared hoarsely, and continued to charge while covering their wounds.

"Bang!" The little red flag in Chen Wenqi's hand waved again, and the second time more than 160 flintlock pistols were fired again!
