Chapter 232: The Battle of the Cavalry
"Commander Li, there is an abnormal movement in the Tartar cavalry on the opposite side." The sentry beside Li Kaifu warned.
After the Battle of Guangzhou, Li Kaifu was captured again by the bandit army. Since Yang Yingju had already left, there was no one to protect him after he was captured this time. Later, Zhang Rui "heard" that Li Kaifu was still in prison, so he personally went to let him go.
When Li Kaifu left, Zhang Rui patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "It is said that the twisted melon is not sweet, and the bandit army only pays attention to voluntariness and never forces people to join." If one day you figure it out and are willing to fight for the rise of your nation, come to me at any time. ”
A month later
Maybe it's because of gratitude to Zhang Rui for his "brightness" and "moral benevolence", or because he is witnessing the changes in the lives of the people around him, or because he is inspired by the call of the mission of the rise of the nation. Li Kaifu joined the bandit suppression army and became the commander of the brave cavalry regiment in the bandit suppression army.
"Okay, got it." Li Kaifu replied, then turned around and said to the two battalion commanders next to him:
"Battalion Commander Zhang and Battalion Commander Liu, let the brothers get on their horses and prepare for battle. The sixth brother is watching us there, if we can't even beat the waste Manchu cavalry, and let them attack the infantry brothers who are fighting bloodily, then we really don't have the face to stay in the bandit army. ”
"It's... Commander Li can rest assured that unless we die, there is no way such a thing will happen. The two of them said categorically to Li Kaifu, and there was no room for any doubt in their tones.
With Li Kaifu's order, I saw that the cavalry regiment of the bandit suppression army immediately opened up in a row, marching into three neat rows of cavalry, marching side by side like a wall.
Zhang Rui doesn't know much about riding training, after all, his riding skills are only at the level where he can barely ride on a horse without falling. Although Zhang Rui is not good at riding, there is a passage about cavalry training that he is very familiar with.
"Two Mamluks can definitely defeat three French soldiers, a hundred French soldiers and a hundred Mamluks are evenly matched, three hundred French soldiers can defeat three hundred Mamluks, and a thousand French soldiers can always defeat a thousand Mamluks."
Napoleon, known as the god of war, could write such words, and the cavalry training of later generations was also trained in this way. Therefore, Zhang Rui had no reason to let the cavalry fight on their own.
Li Kaifu also questioned Zhang Rui's training method at first, but as the results of the drill continued to prove, Li Kaifu also had to admire the training method proposed by Zhang Rui.
"General He, this battle is not easy to fight." Looking at the cavalry of the bandit army marching like a wall, in Atamu. He Yan was beside him, and the cavalry leader of the Eight Banners Forbidden Army, Albu. Ravaza said as he leaned over.
"Haha... Rawazza. We have more than 3,000 cavalry on our side, do you mean that you are afraid? "Atamu. He patted the neck of the horse sitting down, then turned his head to look at Albu. Thorn Waza asked in a bad voice.
Qianlong originally transferred 5,000 Eight Banners Cavalry Forbidden Army to Fu Heng, but because the loyal army led by Zhang Zhishan cut into Jiangxi from Guangdong, Fu Heng was forced to mobilize 3,000 cavalry forbidden troops to the south to participate in the war.
Nowadays Atamu. The 3,000 cavalry He Yan mentioned was actually composed of 2,000 Eight Banners Forbidden Army and 1,000 Green Battalion riders from all over the world.
The cavalry on both sides were slowly moving forward with horsepower, and as the distance got closer and closer, they saw Atamu. He Yan pointed his sword forward and shouted: "Soldiers, defeat the rebels, everyone will receive a reward." Fight off the thieves, take money and food, and play with women. Grab money, food, and women with me... Kill..."
"Kill..."
Atamu. The cavalry behind He Yan raised their sabers in their hands and shouted in unison with him, and then they all began to pull the reins tightly and began to raise their horses.
now
The position of the cavalry regiment of the bandit army
"Brothers, tell me what's ahead!" Kai-Fu Lee asked loudly.
"A herd of pigs..."
Guided by some of the rehearsed soldiers, the formation soon spoke in unison.
"Tell me, what's ahead!" Lee Kai-fu shouted loudly again.
"A bunch of dogs..."
"Tell me, what's ahead!"
"A bunch of dead people..."
"Okay, life is a hero, death is also a ghost, the brothers of the Loyal and Righteous Temple are watching us. There is no thief with me, kill the enemy with me... Kill..."
With Li Kaifu's words falling, there was another earth-shattering and complete shouting of killing. The cavalry regiment of the bandit army also raised the speed of its horses, keeping it like a wall and marching forward rapidly.
Since the number of the bandit suppression army was twice as small as that of the Qing army, the bandit suppression army had to fight against each other, and once it could not penetrate it, it was easy to be in danger of being besieged. This is not conducive to the optimal performance of the formation.
"Kill..."
Both sides are shouting for hedging.
Unlike the bandit army, which was surrounded by its own comrades-in-arms on the left and right, the cavalry of the Qing army was more scattered. Different from the neat and uniform movements of the bandit army, I saw that many Qing cavalrymen even waved the sabers in their hands when they were about to touch, ready to show their bravery.
"Shhhhh
"Smack..."
"Poof..."
……
As soon as the two armies came into contact, there were all kinds of chaotic sounds of fighting, and the severed arms and heads on the battlefield flew everywhere, falling all over the ground, and the horses that had lost their owners were running around.
The bandit army quickly cut into the Qing army's formation like a hot knife cutting butter, and then quickly passed through.
After the two sides broke away from the fighting, Atamu. He Yan looked back and found out. It was just a simple confrontation, and the Qing army lost hundreds of cavalry, while the bandit army lost very little. Albu, who was still reminding him that this battle was not easy to fight. Thornvazar also lost an arm at this time, and followed behind him with a bloodless face.
"Kill..."
The bandit army, which had turned back to the horse's head, shouted again.
If these Qing cavalry encountered those rebel armies in history, they did have an absolute advantage. After all, they all started as educated soldiers at the age of fourteen, and then moved on to cavalry. You don't have to do anything during the period, as long as you are responsible for practicing martial arts.
With some abundant food and good training, where will the peasants, who are not even very common with horses, be their opponents? Even if they have been fighting horse bandits for many years, they will not necessarily get any advantage from them.
However, they encountered an army of bandits.
Yes, alone, I can't beat you. But what about two, three, or even more in the next?
In front of the cavalry that marches side by side, even if you have the highest level of bravery? What about the best riding?
You can kill the person in front of you, you can dodge the knife in front of you, but how can you dodge the next many knives?
Under a disciplined lineup, no matter how powerful an individual is, it's a joke.
However, the Qing army does not seem to have been able to understand this.
