Shen Liang's right hand was slowly raised, but he never put it down.

Officers such as Gao Cuncheng and Xie Xiang, who were not far from him, were not in a hurry, even if the enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves and tall horses swarming, and the ground trembled, giving people a strong sense of shock.

This is the first time that the Yunti Pass Banner Army has faced a cavalry charge, and it is false for everyone to say that they are not nervous.

But all of them have a strong psychological cue that they feel that their side can win.

The strongest jumping team and the best knife players, the best pikemen and boring handles in training, and all the musketeers are reinforced on the right flank.

Because it was obvious that there was no way for the enemy cavalry to attack from the left flank of the trench stakes, which were full of trench stakes, and there was even less space there, and if a few hundred horsemen were accidentally squeezed into the long trench, and after falling down, there were erected stakes inside, and the fun would be great.

In order to play the role of a cavalry assault, it was inevitable to cut in from the right flank and attack, and this was undoubtedly the result.

In fact, the play of the cavalry has been limited by the terrain, the enemy cavalry can only cut directly from the flank into the right flank, and there is no room to pull and run, the side impact, the speed space is not enough, and the power of the cavalry has been greatly reduced.

The rest can only be handed over to the front-line soldiers, even Min Yuanqi is powerless.

The tall and extremely sturdy Xie Xiang stood on the side of the queue, he was the general manager of the knife and card game, originally this person was first-class, after several months of tempering and several actual battles, Xie Xiang had few opponents in hand-to-hand combat in the army.

The usual sword players also gathered for training, and all kinds of guerrilla tactics, hand-to-hand combat, and cover defense methods were all trained by Xie Xiang and the knife players.

Now in wartime, it is organized as a mixed bureau, and Xie Xiang is a hundred general officers of the jumping bureau, directly under the command of Gao Cuncheng.

This jumping game is also the elite of the elite, all members are bound with armor, more than half of them are tied with armor, and the remaining half is tied with double armor. Cotton armor plus leather armor or cloth armor, a small amount of cotton armor with chain mail.

Cloth armor is actually the bottom armor of cotton armor, and after being tempered with cotton cloth, it can prevent knife cuts and arrows, but it has no defense against heavy knives and axes or stabs.

But cloth armor is also one of the thirteen armors of the Tang Army, and there are many people in the Ming army who wear cloth armor.

After all, cotton armor is also inlaid with iron leaves, and the manufacturing process and cost are much more expensive than pure cloth armor.

The manufacturing process of chain mail has just been solved, and the production has not yet increased, and it is unlikely that a small amount of chain mail will be used to equip the Jumping Soldiers with double armor.

Even so, Xie Xiang's morale is extremely high.

Among these soldiers, there are a large number of sword players, who are very powerful and powerful, and their style is fierce and brave. They wore double armor or iron armor, and there was no shortage of scarlets and necklaces, and many of them also wore iron gloves, which made them look like iron men.

In the face of the cavalry rushing over, the performance of the banner army was also quite calm, and many people roared in a low voice, with high fighting spirit.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the war had been fought, the morale of the banner troops was high.

The military formation on the opposite side was simply a bubble of dirt, the two army formations were in formation, guns and spears stabbed each other, and the array of the flag army was always intact and always in a state of firm attack.

Although there were many people on the opposite side, they were unevenly numerous, and they were defeated and retreated by the sharp offensive of the banner army.

As long as the cavalry that had been put in at this time was blocked, the battle had already been won.

Behind him is home and relatives, even if it is the first time to experience such a war, the morale of the flag army is not low.

At least for now, every flag army is eager to try.

Of course, it also includes Xie Xiang himself.

Everyone looked at Shen Liang, but this firecracker Bai Zong just raised his hand high and did not fall.

All the guns have been raised equally, so there should not be a situation where the dumb fire cannot be released.

The gun tube is still with residual temperature, just released a few minutes ago, if you play a few rounds in a row, the gun tube will be hot, if it is an inferior product, then it is very likely to explode.

But at this time, each of the gunners is holding the firebolt against their shoulders, the firerope burning on the side of their cheeks, and everything is ready to be set off.

Even if it is the danger to life caused by the explosion, it is not hesitated.

Who said that the gun must be shrunk behind the formation and dare not fight for his life?

Shen Liang glanced at his subordinates, and there was no lack of pride and pride in his heart.

100 steps.

Eighty steps.

Sixty steps.

Fifty steps.

At this time, even Gao Cuncheng, Xie Xiang and others were nervous, the speed of the cavalry assault was too fast, much faster than the starting pawn.

If it's any longer, I'm afraid there will be no chance to let go at all.

More than 150 guns would not do much damage to the high-speed moving cavalry, but the armor of the jumping squad wanted the chaos caused by the volley when the cavalry burst through.

A moment of chaos is enough!

Forty steps.

Shen Liang finally waved his arm downward, then pushed the combined machine gun in his hand to his shoulder, and then aimed at a cavalryman who was coming quickly, the cavalryman was still waving his sword and scolding, his face was distorted, obviously he was also emboldening himself with such a gesture.

Everywhere there were swarming cavalry, a small amount of iron-clad cotton armor, mostly cloth armor or even no armor.

The weapons in their hands are also varied, and the distance is getting closer and closer, and the ugly faces of these people are getting closer and closer.

Most of their accents are Shandong, and some are Henan, but none of them have an accent from Jiangbei.

Liu Zeqing started in Shandong, and grew up in Jiangbei, and many of the more than 10,000 infantry in front of him were recruited in Jiangbei as soldiers of the new army.

But the cavalry must follow for a long time to have a chance, and the ordinary new army is from miscellaneous soldiers to regular soldiers, and then according to their performance, they have the opportunity to become cavalry or nadine.

Elite soldiers take time to build, and even if these cavalry in front of him are not worth mentioning in Min Yuanqi's eyes, they are not too many under Liu Zeqing's command.

It is impossible for an army of 30,000 cavalry to exceed 2,000 cavalry, and most of them should be the personal soldiers of generals at all levels.

The 800 cavalry in front of him was still a ration only after Liu Zeqing's strength had swelled dramatically, and it was impossible for Liu Zeqing to casually take out more than 1,000 cavalry to fight a few months ago.

Even if there are more channels to obtain war horses, Liu Zeqing must also ration these veterans who have followed from Shandong and Henan. Of course, you also have the ability to fight on horseback.

More than 150 guns were fired almost simultaneously.

The fire burst out like orange flowers, and the projectiles whistled out and flew towards the cavalry group within forty paces.

This time the results were much better than against the infantry.

Firing at the infantry in the array, even at close range, it is impossible to avoid some firebolts missing.

This is also an inevitable result in the history of smoothbore warfare.

Even after a hundred years, the smoothbore gun made great progress in technology, but before the American war in South America, the problem of the accuracy of the musket was never really solved.

The cavalry in front of him was united, but the target was more than twice as large as the foot soldiers, and after the fire was fired, more than 100 horsemen were immediately hit.

Some of the horsemen were decapitated and died even on their horses.

Someone was shot in the chest, and the projectile pierced through the armor, and blood burst out of the chest.

Some were hit in the abdomen, and the person hissed loudly as he held the intestines that flowed out with his hands.

Most of them were hit by mallets and fell straight off their horses.

There were also a large number of horses that were hit, and the horses jumped on the spot, or directly rolled over and fell. The cavalry on horseback fell down directly, either fell to death on the spot or fainted, or broke bones, screamed a few times on the ground, and was trampled to death by the successive war horses.

The entire cavalry group was in chaos, and after the sound of the gun, not only did the autumn wind sweep away a large number of cavalry, but also made the entire cavalry formation distorted and chaotic.

As Min Yuanqi expected before the war, these war horses had never experienced such a scene at all.

Liu Zeqing has hardly fought a serious battle in the fifteenth year after Chongzhen, and his previous subordinates were also afraid of the enemy like a tiger in Henan, and they could avoid the entry of the Donglu, and they would never dare to fight head-on with the Donglu.

Such an army is said to be an army, but in fact, it is not as good as the rogues they despise.

At least after Li Zicheng was defeated in a stone battle, although he left Beijing in a panic, he organized a resistance battle of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people in Hebei, Shanxi, and Henan in many places.

Although the Shun army was defeated repeatedly, it was not for nothing.

After Li Zicheng died unexpectedly, the loyal battalion composed of Hao Shaoqi, Li Guo and other generals also repeatedly defeated the Qing army, and was not as powerless as in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen to the first year of Hongguang.

This army has not fought in actual combat for at least nearly three years, and there is no such hard training as the flag army, and the equipment and morale are also a mess, even if it is a cavalry, what can it do?

By the time the rumbling cannons overhead rang out, the cavalry was already quite confused.

After the fire was fired, the cavalry became even more chaotic, even chaotic.

Not far away, Gao Cuncheng, Xie Xiang and the others had bright and terrifying eyes, and the two generals gave the order to attack the jumping team almost at the same time.

"Kill!"

"Follow me!"

The military orders of the jumping squad were simple and clear, and there was not even a noticeable pause between them and the sound of the guns.

"Kill!"

There were at least eleven rounds of jumping teams hurrying forward, and the easternmost jumping team and the westernmost jumping team formed a long snake-like array, with one end and one tail on both sides, interspersed with the north.

When the cavalry was in great confusion, the distance of dozens of paces was quickly leveled.

Countless spears began to stab at the cavalry, and the soldiers in armor were fearless of the spears and iron halberds stabbed by the cavalry, and they stabbed on their backs in an orderly manner.

Knife and boring handles flanked the pikeman, constantly weaving into the cavalry formation, while constantly attacking the cavalry who were returning fire to the left and right.

The pace of the cavalry assault had been interrupted, and now it was stuck in place, caught in the middle of a fierce and bitter battle with the infantry.

In this way, the cavalry, which had no formation at all, was quickly scattered and cut apart by a large number of infantry, and they seemed to be stuck in the quagmire, and with all their might, they could not break free at all.

In just a moment, the strategic advantage of the cavalry that had just rushed to the assault with arrogance was gone, and it was even precarious.
