"The cavalry will follow me to assault, the time has come, and victory is now!" Min Yuan looked left and right, the left flank of the bandits had been broken in front, a large number of bandits fled to the right flank, there were still many bandits on the right flank, and most of the pirates on Qinshan Island were here, these pirates were much more brave than the bandits, and the array was quite complete, but most of the bandits were in chaos, not only messed up themselves, but also the array of Qinshan Island pirates was also a mess, if this opportunity was not seized, if the Qinshan Island pirates could stabilize their position, the number of pirates alone would be about the same as the flag army, even if they could not turn the tables, they were afraid that they would cause a large number of casualties to the flag army.

Min Yuanzhi knew that the Min family invested heavily in support, and Min Yuanqi also gained great prestige in the short term, one is that many people have lived a life of food and clothing, and the night attack on Shuiguan and the success of drying salt are the source of Min Yuanqi's prestige. But to be able to train hundreds of elites, hundreds of households around are all supportive, and even Li Kecheng, a thousand households, has nothing strange to say, all because of Min Yuanqi's words to protect Yuntiguan. When the times are in turmoil, the world is in turmoil, everyone understands that in such a world, as long as they are swept across the border by rogues or rebels, the local area will definitely suffer heavy losses, not to mention that the rebels have killed and injured many places, that is, they have wantonly looted and urged money and food, and the local people will never be able to withstand such destruction.

As soon as the rebels came, they were all burned, regardless of whether you were a wealthy official and a landlord, or a hereditary military attaché's family, like ordinary people and banner soldiers, these people were easier to see in the eyes of the rebels and rogues, because this generation had rich family assets and was a delicious fat sheep.

It is precisely because Min Yuanqi can train and protect this place that there are many people who support it openly and secretly.

The battle in front of him is a good opportunity, if this battle is won, Min Yuanqi himself will be very difficult to control, even if the prestige of the Min family will be boosted a lot, as soon as he thinks of this, Min Yuanzhi cares about his own life and death, and his fear of the battlefield and life and death is also gone.

The number of cavalry was too small, so it was simply stretched into two columns, and in the sound of fighting, more than twenty horsemen began to accelerate forward.

Many people saw the cavalry rushing up, and the morale of the flag army was naturally greatly boosted, and the pirates and bandits were a little demoralized.

Yang Shiyong has been hiding in the formation to command, but a pirate like him is not a military attache of the guard, and secondly, he has never served in the battalion, and thirdly, he has never learned the art of the golden drum battle array, it is nothing more than constantly driving his subordinates forward, if there is any timid and afraid, he will send his henchmen to cut a few, and after killing, the morale can be boosted, and it is enough to use the experience of pirates against officers and soldiers several times.

But this time against the enemy, Yang Shiyong's previous experience is useless, the two sides have slashed so far, the number of pirates and bandits is more than doubled, but they are involved in each other, the formation is scattered, and it may not be clear in front of the formation, so Yang Shiyong can see it quite clearly when he observes in the formation.

Obviously, there are many people on his side, but in some places the hedgehogs are in a group, and in some places the array is quite thin and scattered, and it can't stop the attack of the flag army at all.

On the other hand, on the side of the flag army, there have been military flags constantly displayed among the layers of military ranks, and the team has been adjusted at any time, always maintaining the integrity of the array.

When they saw the cavalry rushing with spears, the bandits around them were already screaming, and even the pirates were shouting one after another.

"Go up, go up!"

If Yang Shiyong leaves now, most of them can still get rid of his life under the protection of his personal guards, but how can he be willing?

Only the sword shouted like a mad tiger, ordering his henchmen to step forward desperately, risking their lives to block the momentum of the impact of the banner army, in order to find a chance to win in the chaos.

But the bandits and pirates can no longer bear it, the fire is still ringing, and the array of the flag army has always remained quite intact, although this army is seriously inexperienced, not only ordinary flag troops, including team officers to flag captains, bureau hundred generals and Min Yuanqi, the supreme commander, all lack the experience of finding opportunities on the battlefield and quickly making a final decision.

And it's not just the lack of experience, although the spear array is sharp, and the knife players are also good players, but when the two armies are in short arms, the current array of knives, spears, rifles, muskets, and firecrackers is mixed, and the breakthrough ability is closely related to the configuration of the troops, the lack of experience in training and actual combat, and the lack of attack power of the troops are also very important factors.

These bandits in front of them, not to mention the armored iron cavalry of the Wei and Jin dynasties, do not have to be the Mongolian iron cavalry or the Jurchen iron floating tu, the iron harrier of the Western Xia people, or the current Eight Banners cavalry, even if the weak chicken-like Guanning soldiers are transferred, there is no need for more, only a hundred horsemen to rush this formation, more than 1,000 bandits and pirates, facing the serious cavalry in full armor, I am afraid that they will be destroyed like soup and snow.

The Yang brothers have been crisscrossing the area from Yancheng to Haizhou for many years, and they do have a strong courage, but at this time the defeat is decided, and the rabble of a thousand people is simply impossible to be a well-trained opponent of officers and soldiers, even if the attack power of the opposing flag army is insufficient, the defeat has already been decided.

"Don't go, damn, don't escape!"

Yang Shiyong led his guards forward like a madman, and kept swinging his knife at the defeated bandits.

There was a chaotic crowd of people all around, all of them were hideous and distorted, someone was slashed by a knife, and others hurriedly dodged, at this time there were already many bandits who were not afraid of this thief, although they were still subconsciously dodging, but some people pointed at Yang Shiyong and scolded.

This battle has made these scum who bully the weak and fear the hard, and only dare to bully the good, know what a grand array is, what is the power of the array and then fight.

Most of these people have knife wounds, or gunshot wounds, it is difficult to move, and some people were hit by the fire gun in the shoulder, arm, or calf, which seemed to be not seriously injured, and at this time they also rushed back in the crowd, as if there was no big problem, but these people were injured by gunpowder and lead, in this era without antibiotics, it was difficult for them to survive, and seven or eight out of ten died.

On the contrary, those who looked bloody and were scratched by long knives, as long as they could escape the battlefield, most of them could save their lives.

Yang Shixiong tried his best to prevent everyone from retreating, but became the target of everyone, and several bandit leaders were also extremely dissatisfied with him, but at this time, they didn't care about him, and everyone was retreating to the rear with their henchmen.

At this point, the horse team finally sprinted.

War horse sprint, in this era is an unsolvable horror.

For ordinary people, a frightened horse is enough to disrupt the entire market, and even cause serious casualties. If it is an army, in front of a large number of cavalry, it is easy for those who are not well trained to be repeatedly attacked by the cavalry until they collapse, and then they are completely covered and killed.

Unfortunately, not to mention the Mongols' battle of Yehuling against the Jin soldiers, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the battle of Liaoyang and Shenyang, the battle of Shaling, the Ming army's positions were easily disturbed for the Jurchen Eight Banners, the cavalry kept galloping, covering the shot, after the Ming army was defeated, the cavalry repeatedly pursued and killed, chopped and shot, from the Battle of Shaling to the 14-year Battle of Songjin, the Ming army was killed and wounded nearly 100,000 people, and the corpses were hundreds of miles, and even a hundred years later in the Kangxi period, there were still several miles of white bones exposed to the battlefield of that year, and there were floating ghost fires everywhere for dozens of miles when pedestrians passed.

This is the power of cavalry, from the Xiongnu to the Turks, to the Khitan, Mongolia, Jurchen, China has always faced the threat of foreign races in the north, and even twice the civilization sank.

One is that because there are too many impurities in the blood of the boss civilization, the giant has become weak. The second is the unique advantage of nomadic fishing and hunting people: cavalry.

It is extremely difficult for the Han people to raise horses, and the cost is extremely huge, and they can shoot and cut down the enemy's cavalry immediately.

The strength of the Han soldiers, not only the Han Dynasty did not lose the martial style, but more importantly, the Mongolian steppe Hetao area in later generations, in the Han Dynasty was Shuofang, Jiuyuan and other counties, those good families in the border counties, herding rangers, riding horses and hunting, and the wandering people are no different, even so, the Han army invaded the north is also a lot of financial resources of the country, making the country poor and the people poor, and the strong king of Han Wu also had to edict to his subjects.

At this time, the Ming army was not short of horses, but it was the northern border army, and after many war losses, the Ming army actually only left Liaozhen town still has a complete number of cavalry, and the rest of the military towns, the cavalry is more than 1,000 people, most of them are generals, and the battalion cavalry has ceased to exist.

The power of the cavalry charge was truly terrifying, even if the cavalry team only had more than twenty horsemen, the momentum when they sprinted was far more than that of ordinary infantry in a hundred-man array.

The smoke and dust were rising, the horses' hooves were gained, and the neighing was bursting.

The spears were bright and dazzling, and in the shouts of killing, all the bandits saw the tall horses rushing forward, and at that moment, the whole team completely collapsed.

"Kill!" Min Yuan turned sideways and twisted his waist and stabbed the spear in his hand forward.

The tip of the spear did not pierce solidly, but it slashed through the waist of one of the bandits, bringing out a rain of blood, and the man's soul was so frightened that he fell to the ground on the spot, wailing and screaming.

Many cavalrymen struck one after another, either spears or swords.

Blood and rain are flying, strictly speaking, these cavalry skills are still unfamiliar, and the cavalry formation is not strict, after all, even Min Yuanzhi's riding skills are only rough, and the distance from the elite cavalry is extremely far.

But against a rabble, the might of the cavalry is enough.

Shen Liang still kept firing with the firecrackers, although the frequency of their firing was far less than that of bows and arrows, but at this time, the bandits' archers were either wrapped in the formation and could not draw arrows to shoot, or they had already had sore arms and exhausted after firing many rounds in a row.

It is impossible for a bandit archer to train as hard as a marksman in the army, and after many rounds of projectiles, it is already difficult to continue.

As long as the chamber of the gun does not explode, and the sub-medicine carried is still sufficient, the frequency of firing will only get faster and faster, not slow.

Without him, the panic of the first arrival on the battlefield turned calm, his hands became more and more familiar, and the speed of playing was getting faster and faster.

The third and fourth on the right flank had already defeated the enemy in front of them and swung towards the enemy's center.

The bandits collapsed at this point and fled with the pirates.

Everyone was shouting, such as "defeated" or "run away".

Several bandit leaders saw that something was wrong and fled far away, but Yang Shiyong was trapped in a large number of fugitives and trudged forward with difficulty.

At this point, this thief has regretted it very much, and he should not have waded into the troubled waters this time, nor should he be blind and ignorant to this point.
