Tong Dai just sent a detachment of 300 people to "perfunctory", which made Wu Songwei, who was hoarding in Xinba, face a dilemma, take the initiative to expose, or continue to hide?

If exposed, it is possible to annihilate this Qing cavalry forward, but the main force of the Qing cavalry lags behind, once the forward is annihilated, after the enemy hears the news, there will be two options, one is the main force to launch a strong attack on Xinba Wu Songwei, in this way, Xinba town can not become a fortress that Wu Songwei can rely on, the natural casualties will be very large, and it may even be heavily damaged, which is contrary to the original intention of launching this retaliatory war.

But if you choose not to be exposed, then the artillery regiment of Lu Zhiyu will no longer be able to play a role, and you can only fight alone with the wind and thunder cavalry.

Then the problem is that the cavalry tactics of the cavalry on both sides are not at the same level, and the wind and thunder cavalry needs to use twice or even three times the strength to meet the three hundred enemy cavalry, so that the casualties will not be small, and once the enemy's main force takes advantage of the stalemate between the two sides and suddenly accelerates to launch a strong attack, the result is still the same.

Then there is only one way, which is to expose the secret weapon "Xiaolin Cavalry" in advance, and use the "Xiaolin Cavalry" to completely annihilate this Qing cavalry forward, and the Wind and Thunder Cavalry as a reserve to suppress the formation, so as to guard against the main force of the Qing army to reinforce the forward.

It's a safe way to do it, but the fruit is much less than expected.

Qian Qiaogong and Lu Zhiyu have different views on this choice, and Qian Qiaogong chose to take the initiative to expose Xinba Wu Songwei, because only in this way can the preset plan be carried out after a slight modification, and the purpose of revenge can be truly achieved.

And Lu Zhiyu chose the latter safely.

In terms of military rank, Lu Zhiyu is the commander of Wu Songwei, several levels higher than the commander of Qian Qiaogong's wind and thunder cavalry.

But the problem is that the two do not belong together, and Qian Qiaogong has another identity that cannot be ignored - the brother-in-law of King Wu.

Naturally, this identity is enough to crush everything, Lu Zhiyu knew that he was a follower of a halfway monk, and it was better not to compete with Qian Qiaogong, so he finally obeyed Qian Qiaogong's choice.

……。

Kelu Zhiyu would never have thought that his obedience would make Qian Qiaogong a success.

Many times, the style of the main general determines the victory or defeat of a battle, and a battle changes the entire battle situation.

Wu Songwei and Feng Lei Riding are not variables, nor are they "Xiaolin Riders" who are desperately detouring, but Tong Dai with a perfunctory mentality.

However, when the Qing army's 300 cavalry forwards encountered Wu Songwei, who was actively exposed, outside Xinba Town, and a fierce battle broke out, Tong Dai's mentality suddenly changed.

Before, Tong Dai was worried that the Northern Expeditionary Army would have an ambush, and if he led more than 3,000 cavalry to meet an accident, he would be dumped by Ji Xiha and Lan Bai.

This premise is that the ambush of the Northern Expeditionary Army is not exposed.

But now that the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army has been exposed, then, in Tong Dai's eyes, this is a piece of fatty fresh meat.

The most powerful weapon, always on the launcher, is the truth.

Tong Dai brazenly ordered the whole army to launch a surprise attack on Wu Songwei.

This order is actually right, north of Xinba Town, dozens of miles of plains, originally named after the dam and the farmland.

Such terrain is conducive to cavalry, especially light cavalry operations, whether it is a guerrilla attack or a surprise attack, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

As long as the enemy is on the bright side, Tong Dai does not need to worry about the combat strength of the cavalry under his command, although the firearms of the Northern Expedition are sharp, they cannot block the cavalry's charge on the horizontal surface that is several miles wide.

And Tong Dai also left a hand, that is, there are 800 horsemen, that is, his descendants, as a reserve for this battle.

At the beginning, the battle situation was as Tong Dai expected.

Wu Songwei's musketeers, fighting and retreating, fired at the Qing cavalry in horizontal columns alternately.

But this situation did not last long, more than a hundred paces away, the cavalry came in a blink of an eye, after the shooting, Wu Songwei formed a three-three melee formation in the rear, and fought separately with bayonets, resisting the enemy cavalry.

But such infantry is inherently inferior to cavalry.

Often, whether the bayonet stabbed the horse or reached the rider, the musketeer was bound to be knocked away.

This is also the reason why Lu Zhiyu is reluctant to take the initiative to expose Wu Songwei's ambush.

Once exposed, the cavalry could crush the infantry without a fortified city to rely on, unless there was sufficient burst fire.

The human bodies that were knocked into the air rose and fell one after another, and this tragic scene made Lu Zhiyu, who was watching the battle, feel distressed and angry.

In fact, Lu Zhiyu still has no remaining strength to use, that is, the artillery regiment that was withdrawn from outside Haizhou City.

The domain of Keru still does not dare to use it easily, in such a field battlefield, once the artillery regiment is exposed, it will definitely become the first target of the enemy's cavalry.

Wait until the most critical time. Lu Zhiyu looked at the direction of Qian Qiaogong, who was no longer visible in the woods in the distance, and swore viciously in his heart, but if he lost this battle, Wu Songwei suffered a heavy blow, and he would definitely go back to the first book, and he would impeach Qian Qiaogong, even if he offended the Qian family, he would admit it.

……。

Qian Qiaogong is actually not a ruthless person.

He himself was the commander of the cavalry, and he was still clear about the tactical actions of the cavalry, such as attacking and retreating.

Qian Qiaogong knew that Wu Songwei's musketeers could not resist the enemy's cavalry in the field battle, and attacked with all their might.

But he needs time, no, not just time to outflank, but more importantly, he needs a cutting board, a chopping board for chopping meat!

Everyone knows that the biggest reason why cavalry is called the king of the battlefield is its speed of maneuver, and the advance and retreat are not something that infantry can resist and contain.

The wind and thunder cavalry battle is not as good as the enemy's cavalry, so even if you try your best, with the cooperation of Wu Songwei, after fighting with the enemy and losing both, the enemy can still retreat calmly, and then the wind and thunder cavalry will chase or not?

Chase, the enemy kills back the carbine.

Don't chase, knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach.

Therefore, this chopping board is too important, only by dragging the enemy cavalry to death on the battlefield and forming a stalemate with Wu Songwei, so that the wind and thunder cavalry can outflank the enemy cavalry according to the original plan, so as to leave time and space for the "Xiaolin Cavalry" used as a meat chopping knife.

The "Xiaolin Cavalry" is a heavy cavalry, and its combat distance is only thirty or forty miles, and the limit is fifty miles, yes, fifty miles is the limit, beyond this distance, there is no need for the enemy to do anything, and the heavy cavalry itself will collapse.

Think about it, what horse can carry such heavy people, equipment, and its own iron plate armor, and run for more than 100 miles?

Therefore, the heavy cavalry can only be used as a meat chopping knife, and after everything is arranged, it comes to cover the coffin for the battle!

This kind of practice of using soldiers' lives as bargaining chips is actually something he has always hated, but now, he is doing it himself.

Yes, Qian Qiaogong's way is becoming more and more like Wu Zheng, his tactical plan itself is a big gamble, betting that the Qing army will be greedy for merit, and betting that Wu Songwei, a unit with great military achievements in the Northern Expeditionary Army, can withstand the crazy impact of the Qing cavalry.

There is a way that is close to Zhu is red, and close to ink is black.
