Liu Dahe, the commander of the Baojun Cavalry Regiment, Tie Batu, the deputy commander of the regiment, Wang Jingrong, the political and religious chief, and the battalion commander Harbara, and several other major officers took Cong Gulen Gege on the road after listening to the instructions of the madman Tan.

The cavalry regiment of the Bao Army was deeply encouraged to hear that the Bao Army had severely damaged the Jiannu army of nearly 70,000 with 6,000 people, and that the Jiannu had fled with only more than 3,000 iron horsemen.

Liu Dahe and the others didn't know what to call Cong Gulengege.

"Gege, why don't you find you a carriage? It's cold and snowy. Or you take shelter from the wind in the car where we pull weapons and ammunition. "Tiebatu said to Cong Gulenge.

"No need, I'm fine, the woman outside our plug, this bit of wind and snow is nothing, not so squeamish." Cong Gulen Ge Dao.

In fact, Cong Gulen Gege is still quite squeamish, even on the Jiannu side, he rarely goes through wind and rain.

"After all, Gege is the president's honored guest, and besides, riding in the carriage will not affect our speed." Tiebatu persuaded him, no matter whether Cong Guren Gege accepted it or not, he did what he had to do anyway.

Cong Gulen Gege accepted the suggestion and got into the chariot of the army.

The rapid march of the great army began.

Cong Gulen Gege admired these treasure troops a little, it was cold and snowy, and he didn't know where they came from, if they were from Gaotai Fort, they should have not rested for a day, and they could continue to march.

The horses of the Baojun cavalry regiment are sufficient, and the personnel can basically rest on the horses, and they only rest for an hour or two along the way and then continue to hurry, and the rest is not a human rest, it is all for the horses to rest, and people can just boil some hot water to drink.

At this time, Nurhachi had already arrived in the city of Yiju, and it only took five days from the dispatch of troops to the defeat of the army.

In the periphery of Shenyang and southern Liaoning before, he was not defeated so badly.

Now that the Eight Banners are in front of the treasure army, they are simply unbearable.

In front of the treasure army, they could not give full play to their cavalry skills, suffered heavy casualties, and were forced to withdraw their troops.

In this battle, the Bao army fortified the wall and cleared the wilderness, worked together to defend it, eradicated the spies, and used cannons with fire to attack the fortified city, killing and wounding 30,000 or 40,000 Houjin troops, thwarting Nurhachi's attempt to occupy Liaoxi and Shanhaiguan, which was a major victory for the Ming Dynasty in the Houjin war.

The soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty re-established their confidence in defeating the Houjin army.

The 1,000 cavalry improvised by the teaching team and the president's guard chased all the way here, killing and wounding hundreds of Jiannu along the way, so that only 2,6700 Jiannu entered the city of Yiju.

There were also more than 2,000 Jiannu soldiers stationed in the city of Uiju.

And when the two sides were combined, there were four thousand-six or seven hundred.

This is almost all of Jiannu's mobile troops, and others, such as cities like Quang Ninh, Jiannu are only guarded by a few hundred people.

Except for the core town of Shenyang, which still has more than 10,000 defenders, the other cities are only guarded by a few hundred people.

The Bao army suffered all the casualties of Jiannu's elite in the first battle.

This time, the Bao Army only came to the semi-professional cavalry unit that was not good at cavalry combat, and was temporarily composed of the teaching team and the president's guard, which still made Jiannu dare not engage in battle, and only knew how to escape, and many people were hit by stray bullets in the process of escaping.

It can be said that now it is one cavalry against one cavalry, and the Jiannu cavalry has no way to compare with the treasure army.

The individual combat capability and comprehensive combat capability of the cavalry of the treasure army have reached a very high historical height, and even the British and French cavalry in modern times cannot be compared.

The so-called Battle of Bali Bridge, in which the modern cavalry defeated the classical cavalry, was basically a few years ago when some people one-sidedly intercepted the unilateral records of some British officers and soldiers, exaggerated the role of the British cavalry in this battle, and artificially fabricated a typical battle example of the so-called modern cavalry defeating the classical cavalry.

In fact, in the Battle of Bali Bridge, the so-called victory of the British cavalry over the Eight Banners cavalry in hand-to-hand combat was nothing more than the British cavalry's mending knife to the Eight Banners cavalry, which had suffered heavy casualties and had lost blood by the British and French artillery fire.

The comparison of the strength of the two sides is that the Qing army gathered troops at Bali Bridge, and Monk Greenqin led 10,000 Mongolian horses, 7,000 infantry, Shengbao led 5,000 infantry, bird guns and artillery, and 1,000 cavalry.

Ruilin Tong 10,000 people, Beijing Green Camp and militia groups.

The total number of troops is only 33,000, and there are no 100,000 at all.

Because Ruilin and Shengbao are both Manchurian, it is difficult for Seng Lingqin to command 2 people, so these 3 armies are not subordinate to each other, and the factor of defeat has been buried from the command level.

The Anglo-French army totaled only 6,000 men.

The Anglo-French army was divided into three routes, the 1st Brigade of General Yaman of the French Army on the east road, the General Grant of the British Army on the west road, and the 2nd Brigade of the French Army Colinno on the south road.

The weapon comparison is that the Qing army is equipped with bird guns, with an effective range of only 100 meters, and the Hongyi cannon of the ancestral Ming Dynasty.

Solid projectile with a direct firing range of 500 meters.

Judging by the rate of fire in the Battle of Dagukou, only one shot can be fired in 5 minutes.

For other bows and arrows, the range is about 50 meters.

The British army was armed with Enfield rifles, and the French army was equipped with Mineer rifles. All are rifled guns with an effective firing range of 300 meters.

The gun was armed with an Armstrong breech-loading rifled gun, capable of firing shotguns, with thin walls and black explosives, a large number of small steel balls, and a timed fuse.

The shells covered a radius of 30 meters.

The maximum firing range is 4000 meters.

Aim at a distance for one minute to fire one shot.

You can shoot 3 shots in a minute at close range.

The Qing army's combat idea was to charge with the Mongol cavalry as the vanguard, and the rest of the troops were outflanked on both flanks.

In the course of the battle, the Tatars began, in the language of the foreigners, a fierce attack, and their cavalry gathered from the right to the left of our position and swarmed in a swarm.

The Qing army charged in a dense cavalry formation to attack the British and French lines.

We first saw a large group of Qing cavalry, they were quietly trotting towards us in an orderly manner, their array was very neat, there was no messiness at all when changing formations in groups, and their horses looked very strong.

The cavalry of the Qing army galloped in a dense formation until it was only about 50 meters away from the forward position of the French army, all of which was silent, and no command orders could be heard.

If it weren't specifically stated that it was the Qing army, just looking at the description of the cavalry formation, I really thought that this was the so-called modern cavalry.

At a distance of 2,000 meters from the British and French forces, they were first baptized by a round of Congreve rockets released by the British and French troops, and the rocket attack caused confusion among the Qing army's horse team, and they had to regroup and attack again.

At a distance of 1,000 meters from the coalition forces, the coalition forces opened fire and used shotgun attacks, and the steel balls in the shells scattered in the dense front of the Qing army, causing great casualties and confusion among the Qing army, with nearly half of the losses being lost.

At a distance of 200 meters, the coalition rifles began to fire non-stop.

There were less than 13 Qing soldiers rushing to this distance.

When it reached a distance of 50 meters, the Qing army rushed to the last distance in front of the coalition forces.

The Tatar cavalry came under intense and accurate fire from nearly fifty yards, and they began to hesitate with numerous casualties.

They initially rushed to the right, and then turned to the left under the fire of the shooters.

Gun No. 12, which had been placed in front of the position, began to fire at the Tatar cavalry and artillery with such accuracy and speed that it forced the crowds of cavalry and the infantry facing us hiding in the woods to retreat.

During the assault of the Qing cavalry, the artillery of the Qing army also gave support, but it was a pity.

All the shells just flew over our heads, so the situation, although a little scary, was not fatal.

The Frenchman Elisson said that the fireworks of the Qing army were very beautiful.

In short, in the end, a small number of Qing cavalry barely rushed to the front of the British and French coalition forces, and under the powerful firepower, only the remnants of the Qing cavalry turned to the left of the coalition army.

And on the left, there is the cavalry of the British army.

At one point, the entire cavalry bypassed General Corinnow's left flank, because General Grant took his cavalry to the left flank to attack, thus exposing General Corinneau.

The legendary modern cavalry is now in charge.

The cavalry brigade, which I had kept on the left flank to guard the flank, was now in action, and the enemy's cavalry was driven away from the right by our fire, and the large groups stayed on our left side, giving an excellent opportunity for our cavalry to charge, which they seized in time, especially the King's Guards Dragoons under Lieutenant Colonel Sayers inflicted very heavy losses on the enemy. qq

On their left the Finn cavalry very heroically charged a similar force, while at the same time Colonel Probin's 1st Sikh cavalry, in conjunction with the Finn cavalry, successfully detoured back to the right of the Chinese army.

The report of General Grant, the commander of the British army, proved that because "the enemy's cavalry was driven away from the right by our fire", it created an excellent opportunity for the British cavalry to charge, so the British cavalry went out and successfully repaired the sword and took the head.

The cavalry charge of the monk was unsuccessful, and the remaining forces were scattered, and the Anglo-French army began to clean the battlefield with cavalry and artillery.

According to the report of the monk Lingqin, "hundreds of rockets were fired in unison, and the horses were so frightened that they turned around and galloped impulsively, so that they could not form a column and retreated."

This is the whole process of the Battle of Bali Bridge.

The entire battle lasted only 4 hours.

Although the high morale of the Qing army is impressive.

"For an entire hour, they withstood the overwhelming fire that caused them heavy casualties. These brave, but not nimble, warriors would rather not retreat a single step than give up the battlefield to the enemy, bravely persevering, and all die on the spot", but they were only impressed.

Because in the end 30 French soldiers were killed and 17 wounded; British 20 people were killed and 29 wounded.

The Qing army left 1,500 corpses.

In fact, the British cavalry was just a mend to the Qing cavalry, which had already suffered a powerful firepower and had only blood left.

If this case can be regarded as a case of the so-called modern cavalry and classical cavalry, it is really laughable.

There is no modern cavalry in the world, but if there are many people, there will be modern cavalry.

Modern cavalry and ancient cavalry are completely different in terms of training and tactical thinking.

Modern cavalry, training is roughly similar to the requirements of the Olympic equestrian competition, the advance and retreat of horses have orders, accurate to the pace of a few steps, and the overall action, such as the charge, are required.

For example, "wall advancement" requires a certain number of war horses to line up in a horizontal line and attack the opponent's position with the same pace, stride, and pace.

It is said that there are hundreds of similar queue formations and variations, and there are more than a dozen of the most basic ones, and such cavalry training is very strict and highly standardized.

At the same time, there are also high requirements for the selection of war horses, for the type of horse, shoulder height, leg length, weight, speed, endurance, etc., there are specific indicators, and the horses that do not meet the standards can only be pack horses and miscellaneous horses. The best can be a riding horse and a war horse, so horses begin to be consciously cultivated and bred from the breeding, and the process is very long and the cost is huge.

For example, since Japan established a modern cavalry after the Meiji Restoration, it was found that all the original horse breeds in Japan were not up to standard, and they could only import Western horse breeds such as Arabian horses and Irish horses from the West, and it took decades to breed the so-called "Oriental horses".

Therefore, even if the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, the cavalry of the Baojun Army is not enough to be called modern cavalry at present, but in terms of discipline and weapons, it is far beyond the cavalry of the Eight Banners.

In Napoleon's war against Russia, in the Battle of Berezina, hundreds of people from a French cavalry brigade fought many charges with the Russian army with the cooperation of infantry, and finally the whole army was annihilated, and only one person escaped.

In the Battle of Austerlitz, after the occupation of the Platchin Heights by an infantry group under the command of Field Marshal Sirte, the Russian army launched a counteroffensive against it, and in a section of the Highland Front, 20 squadrons of Tsar's Guards Cavalry, led by the Russian Duke of Konstantin, broke through the lines of two French infantry regiments and occupied the road to Napoleon's headquarters.

The Chief of Staff, Marshal Bessière, immediately led 2 squadrons of Guards Chasseurs and 3 squadrons of Grenadier Cavalry to charge forward.

At this time, the Russian Guards cavalry, who had just won the victory, had not yet had time to regroup, and was quickly routed by this French Guards cavalry.

Immediately afterwards, Bessière led the cavalry to continue the breakthrough into the Russian Guards infantry group, and a melee ensued.

Seeing this, Duke Constantine ordered 5 squadrons of Tsar Guards Knights and 2 squadrons of Guards Cossack cavalry to charge and counterattack, they were the last force of the Russian Guards, but Marshal Bessière stubbornly withstood the attack.

At this point, one of the most glorious charges of the Guards Chasseurs began, and the Emperor ordered the last remaining units of the Guards Chasseurs to enter the battle.

General Rapp, who was only 24 years old, rushed towards the Russians with 2 squadrons of Guards Chasseurs.

Rapp repeatedly charged three times in the ranks of the Russian troops, and he himself was wounded, but this attack once again sided the victory on the side of the French.

After the fierce battle, the Russian Guards cavalry was crushed, after which the entire Russian Guards of more than 5,000 people were completely annihilated.

The Guards Chasseurs showed extraordinary combat effectiveness and decisive charge in this battle.

In the battle between the Guards and the Guards, the Guards Chasseurs, who were the Emperor's old guards, won a complete victory.

The Guards Chaser Charge led by General Rapp led two Guards Hunting squadrons, one of which included a company of Mamluk cavalry, which were a cavalry force of 250 men formed in the middle of Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, including prisoners.

Napoleon's personal servant, Konstan, was a Georgian Mamluk he captured in Egypt and accompanied the emperor until his first abdication.

In 1804, the Mamluks were attached as a company to the Guards Chasseurs, and in the Battle of Austerlitz, the Mamluk cavalry and the Guards Chasseurs attacked the Russian Emperor's Guards cavalry.

In reward for its bravery, Napoleon awarded the cavalry company an eagle banner.

When the offensive at the Battle of Borodino fell into disarray, Napoleon ordered Murat to lead the V cavalry unit to attack the center of the Russian army.

The French artillery dropped numerous shells on the Russian troops, while the 2nd Division also guarded Murat's flanks as they rushed straight towards the Russian center.

At the same time, his troops were reorganized.

The remaining 2nd Grenadier Division, formed into two phalanxes and the 2nd Grenadier Division gathered, was deployed inside and out.

Behind them were the six Guards companies formed in a phalanx, as well as the 1st Cuirassier Division.

The Russians' artillery was still very strong, and numerous artillery batteries were deployed in front of the infantry.

There were many damaged artillery equipment scattered on the ground, as well as many dead horses.

The formation of the advancing V cavalry units was:

Right: Lorge's 7th Heavy Cavalry Division, 8 Saxon, 8 two Polish cuirassier squadrons.

Left: 4th Hussar Division, 9 Polish Lancer Squadrons.

The Russian grenadiers and gunners spotted thousands of cavalry units marching towards their side.

The infantry lined up in a phalanx to withstand the onslaught of the cavalry.

Faced with countless cavalry, the Russians could only stay in the phalanx and wait silently for their charge.

The cavalry slowly stretched to the left, and in front of them were not only the defenders, but from here until the cavalry slowly advanced, crossed the stream, and killed the Russians.

At the forefront was Saxony, one of the best cavalry regiments in Europe.

They were followed by another Saxon unit, followed by cuirassiers.

A phalanx was quickly routed and continued to pursue the fleeing Russians.

They also engaged the dragoons, and drove them back, where they were met by six companies of guards.

What happened after that gave the cavalry general a deep impression that the Russians disappeared almost immediately under the swords of the Saxons.

But after all, this guards company had previously withstood the onslaught of the 1st Cuirassier Division.

At the same time, the hussars charged their flanks.

The Saxons suffered huge losses and were repulsed.

But now the attackers were again repulsed by the stubborn French infantry.

However, the higher honor belonged to the cavalry commander of the 2nd Western Army, and the remaining cavalry again charged the infantry phalanx, but with little effect.

They had greater success in attacking the 1st Russian Cuirassier Division.

At the same time, the 4th Hussar Division took part in the battles around it, where they captured eight guns.

When the cavalry retreated, there was a temporary lull on the battlefield.

During the Peninsular War, a British infantry brigade was wiped out by the French Polish lancers, and the British began to build up lancers.

The Battle of Waterloo felt the power of the cuirassiers, and then the British began to form cuirassiers.

Unless heavy machine guns and faster infantry guns appeared, it would be difficult for the treasure army to do without cavalry, even if they had powerful rifles and artillery.
