I have to say that the tactics of all the soldiers in Houjin are still very terrifying, and after a while, all the people who can ride horses and shoot arrows in the entire dungeon were gathered, except for more than a hundred bannermen in armor, the others were wearing cloth clothes and women and half-grown children who were just on horseback, but even those women did not show their horror because they heard that there was a foreign enemy attacking, especially those half-grown children, but because they heard that they were going to fight, they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and they were eager to try with bows and arrows, and most of the clothes were numb, For them, death is not terrible, they are just tools of the master, will the tools be afraid?

There weren't many cruel words, and Aragu didn't do any pre-war mobilization, so he waved his hand directly: "Let's go!" Kill those bright dogs! ......Then he took the lead in urging the horse out of the fort gate, and the others also hurried to follow the horse.

Approaching a small hill in front of the fort, Aragu raised his whip and the procession stopped, the terrain was conducive to the charge of horses, so Aragu was ready to wait here to meet the invading enemy.

After a while, there was a line of black spots in front, and it was the cavalry troops of the New Army that came, Liaodong was vast and sparsely populated, and the Houjin people were all living in forts, very scattered, so Guo Zhiyuan could only divide his troops, 500 cavalry for a front team, 500 infantry for the rear team, the cavalry was fast, and then handed over to the infantry to take over after the fort was laid, so that it could advance steadily, and would not care about the head and tail.

Although the cavalry of the New Army has been formed for several years, and the training is relatively diligent in peacetime, it can't be compared with the Houjin people who grew up on horseback since childhood, and after all, this is the first time that the cavalry of the New Army has officially entered the field, and there is still a difference between actual combat and training, so when the horse runs, the formation is a little loose, and Aragu sneered when he saw it: "At first glance, it is a pine melon egg who has never fought a horse war, and he dares to sneak attack us like this?" Get ready, after a volley, rush down and scatter them! ……”

At this time, the New Army also discovered the Houjin people on the hill, and it was Li Guozhu and Xie Erhu who led the cavalry of the New Army, and Xie Erhu smiled and said to Li Guozhu: "General Li, these Tartars are quite fat, and they dare to go out of the fort to take the initiative to meet us?" Why are there so many women and children? This is so inhumane, pulling women and children into the battlefield, how can you do it later? ……”

Don't look at Li Guozhu who was a little stunned in front of Guo Zhiyuan, he was still quite calm in front of his subordinates, glared at Xie Erhu, and scolded angrily: "Have you forgotten Lord Guo's instructions when he left?" Don't underestimate the enemy! ...... "But he also felt a little tricky about how to deal with those Houjin women and children, after all, he was not cold-blooded enough to wave a butcher's knife at women and children, so he hesitated for a moment and ordered: "Those women and children, if you can, don't kill as much as possible......"

Xie Erhu stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak anymore, pointed to the Houjin people on the hill, and ordered loudly to the Zixin army behind him: "Adjust the formation and prepare to charge!" Cheer up Lao Tzu, don't underestimate the enemy! This is the first battle since the cavalry of the New Army entered Liao, if we lose to a group of women and children, we will go back and find a piece of tofu and die! ……”

The soldiers of the new army laughed out loud, but they did not dare to neglect the slightest in their movements, according to the essentials of riding and archery that they had mastered countless times, clamped the horse's belly, curled up their bodies, and minimized the exposed area of their bodies to avoid being shot by enemy arrows, and at the same time raised their flintlock pistols, prepared to shoot, and neatly urged the horses to charge the Houjin people on the hills!

The Houjin people because they are condescending and occupy a geographical advantage, so they took the lead in attacking, Aragu waved his hand, and the arrow rain poured towards the cavalry of the New Army, according to Aragu's previous combat experience, this round of arrow rain down, the self-new army running in the front will definitely fall head-on, and then they can take advantage of the situation to rush down, and kill the opponent who lost the first hand to lose his armor, this is the tactic that Houjin has tried and tried!

However, to Aragu's surprise, this round of salvo did not receive the expected effect, not that they couldn't shoot accurately, the Houjin people grew up on horseback, even if it was a galloping horse, they could still shoot bows and arrows, which did not affect the accuracy of the head at all, but since the new plate armor of the new army played a role, the arrows could not be completely pierced after being shot, except for two unlucky cavalrymen of the new army who were shot on the horses under them, and the horses threw the knights off their horses in pain. The rest of the soldiers of the New Army who were hit by the arrow just shook and did not fall off their horses, but gritted their teeth and continued to charge.

Aragu, who was experienced on the battlefield, quickly discovered this, but there was no time for them to launch a second salvo, so he could only remind loudly: "Their armor is strange, don't shoot people, shoot horses!" Rush with me! ...... "hit the horse and rushed down the hill first!"

The Houjin people rushed down the hill unabated, and also entered the range of the new army, which was the turn of the new army, with Xie Erhu's order, the flintlock pistol in the hands of the new army also fired, and after a roar, the Houjin armor banner Ding who rushed to the front was hit head-on by a heavy hammer, and suddenly fell dozens of them.

Aragu was not hit because of his rich combat experience, and he hid his body behind the horse's neck when he charged, but he was not hit, he had fought with the Ming army, and knew the power of muskets, so he hurriedly shouted: "They have muskets!" Spread out the formation! ……”

I have to say that the cavalry and archery skills of the Houjin people are really good, with the reminder of Aragu, the Houjin people who were still very close to each other instantly dispersed the formation, so that the flintlock pistols in the hands of the new army are difficult to aim again, you must know that the accuracy of the shooting on the back of the galloping horse will be greatly affected, and it will be even more difficult for the Houjin people to hit the formation once they disperse, so Xie Erhu hurriedly ordered: "Collect the musket, raise the cavalry gun!" ……”

This set of tactical maneuvers has also been trained countless times since the New Army, all the New Army skillfully put the flintlock pistol behind the back, and pulled out the cavalry gun tied to the belly of the horse, which did not affect the speed and stability of the charge at all, and soon the two sides collided together like two torrents, at this time the equipment advantage of the New Army was revealed, they rode the improved Arab war horse, which was taller and more explosive than the Mongolian horse ridden by the Later Jin people, and the riding gun in their hands was also special, the gun shaft was tough and the head of the gun was sharp, and the gloves were also worn on the hands, and the gun was more stable, and the weapons of the Later Jin people are mainly long knives, which are varied.

Therefore, although the Houjin people have a geographical advantage, but in this first round of collisions, they suffered a big loss, nearly half of the Houjin armor bannermen who rushed to the front were stabbed off their horses by the cavalry guns of the New Army, and the New Army was not damaged, this is still they deliberately let go of the Houjin women and half-grown teenagers in the back, otherwise the damage of the Houjin people will be even more serious!
