Faced with a scattered opponent, Chen Xian's cavalry began to be gradually dispersed because of the sloppy target.

Although Chen Xian's cavalry has almost reduced its load, in any case, it is wearing iron armor, which is far higher than the weight of the Mongolian light cavalry, and the quality of the war horses on both sides is basically the same, so in terms of mobility, the Mongolian light cavalry still has an advantage.

The Mongolian cavalry, which had the advantage of numbers and speed, began their interspersed performances with great familiarity, and they took hundreds of people, some of them used the hundred-man team as bait to attract the pursuit of Chen Xian's cavalry, and some of the hundred-man team took the opportunity to follow and shoot behind the pursuing Chen cavalry, once the Chen army changed targets because of the attack, then the bait and hunter in the Mongolian cavalry would switch identities......

The main target of the Mongol cavalry was not the cavalry itself, but their horses......

At this time, the entire battlefield seemed to be Chen Xian's cavalry chasing and killing the fleeing Mongolian light cavalry, but in fact, if you observe, you can see that most of the losses are Chen Xian's cavalry.

Fortunately, Chen Xian had a telescope in his hand, and he found that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly let people blow the trombone to collect the troops.

When the fleeing Mongol cavalry found that Chen Xian's cavalry had begun to retreat, they immediately began to turn around and chase after them.

Fortunately, Chen Xian had the horse infantry behind the cavalry, and these horse infantry lined up in columns, each with a wide gap between them.

When Chen Xian's cavalry retreated, they only had to flee into the gap between the horse infantry, and if the Mongol cavalry dared to chase in, they would have to face the platoon of horse infantry on both sides.

The horse infantry opened fire and advanced at the same time, not only drove away the Mongol light cavalry, but also occupied the battlefield just now, which had a large number of cavalry that Chen Xian had fallen from his horse.

But at this moment, among the Mongolian cavalry, the armored cavalry that was the first to retreat suddenly turned around and killed back!

Seeing this scene, Chen Xian's mind was in shock, he knew that his cavalry, including the horse infantry, was in danger!

Although the formation of the horse infantry in order to meet the cavalry was very useful in the face of the pursuing Mongol light cavalry, it was very disadvantageous in the face of shock cavalry.

The proportion of armored cavalry in the Mongolian cavalry, that is, the shock cavalry in human armor, is as high as forty percent, that is to say, there are at least five or six thousand shock armored cavalry on the opposite side, if so many shock cavalry rush to the side of the horse infantry, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

And at this time, the battlefield was out of Chen Xian's control, although he had already thought that at this time, the horse infantry should dismount and form a phalanx to resist the charge of the shock cavalry, but he had no way to give an immediate order, and when his herald passed, the daylily was cold.

Now he could only pray that the officers of the horse infantry would respond correctly according to their usual training.

Soon, Chen Xian's cavalry reacted, but not horse infantry, but cavalry, to be precise, the all-round cavalry led by Yang Miaozhen.

Although Yang Miaozhen did not have the overall vision of Chen Xian standing on the watchtower at this time, he accurately grasped the form of the battlefield, so she led the all-round cavalry that she had just escaped from the pursuit of the Mongolian light cavalry, turned her horse's head, and launched a counter-charge.

During the charge, she also sent her personal guards to give orders to the horse infantry and other cavalry.

Chen Xian later learned that the personal soldiers of these heralds ran around, shouting the order, "The horse infantry will dismount and form a phalanx to fight against the enemy's armored cavalry, assault cavalry, and light cavalry to follow me to counterattack!" ”

Under the organization of Yang Miaozhen's immediate formation, the all-round cavalry, assault cavalry, and light cavalry, which had just suffered heavy losses, launched a resolute counter-charge, slowing down the intensity and speed of the charge of the Mongolian armored cavalry, and giving the horse infantry time to form a phalanx below.

In front of the phalanx of the horse infantry with all bayonets and flintlock muskets, the Mongol armored cavalry that rushed up suffered heavy losses!

When retreating, they were again blocked by the shock cavalry led by Yang Miaozhen.

In the end, after leaving behind thousands of light cavalry corpses, Mu Huali finally rescued his armored cavalry, but at this time, less than half of the original five or six thousand armored cavalry were left.

On the other hand, on Chen Xian's side, 3,000 all-round cavalry, more than 3,000 assault cavalry, and more than 1,000 light cavalry, also lost more than half.

This is also thanks to Yang Miaozhen's rescue, if there is no Yang Miaozhen's rescue, Chen Xian believes that not only the cavalry, but even the more than 10,000 horse infantry on the battlefield may not be able to keep it.

This battle woke up Chen Xian, who had already fluttered so much that even the Mongolian iron cavalry didn't pay much attention to it.

In the previous outpost battle, Chen Xian even thought that the Mongolian cavalry was nothing more than that, and it was not much different from the Mongolian cavalry in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it was just a stronger will to fight.

He even believes that the Mongols were able to dominate this era probably because their opponents were too weak.

But today the Mongol cavalry showed him how terrible it was.

The Mongolian cavalry of the Ming and Qing dynasties, after being attacked by a strong attack and scattering in a hurry, was probably really like flies, and soon scattered without a trace, which was difficult to eliminate, but not difficult to deal with.

But today's Mongolian iron cavalry, their scattered in a hurry, is just an illusion, in the process of strangling Chen Xian's cavalry later, the organization and discipline they showed are simply outrageous!

If the Mongolian cavalry in the Ming and Qing dynasties was a group of herdsmen who gathered, then the Mongolian cavalry led by Genghis Khan was a group of professional cavalry who regarded war as a career!

This battle made Chen Xian understand that chasing the Mongol cavalry on the plains was no different from committing suicide.

After retreating to the camp, Chen Xian immediately convened a meeting, at which he first admitted his command mistakes, conducted self-criticism, analyzed the reasons for his underestimation of the enemy, and then focused on analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the Mongol cavalry, and the strengths and weaknesses of our side.

After the meeting, Chen Xian found Yang Miaozhen and had a sincere long talk with her, and after this long talk, she finally agreed to give up the all-powerful cavalry and return to serve as Chen Xian's cavalry commander.

After this battle, both sides could not shrink and engaged in a long standoff.

After the scouts discovered that the Mongol cavalry was missing, Chen Xian handed over the remaining assault cavalry, the all-round cavalry, and half of the horse infantry to Yang Miaozhen and asked her to return to Mizhou to avoid a roundabout attack by the Mongols.

Sure enough, not long after Yang Miaozhen returned to Mizhou, news came from the east that 20,000 Mongolian iron horsemen were attacking in the direction of Surabaya, Tai'an.

This cavalry evaded the interception of the 3rd and 4th brigades and plunged directly into the hinterland of Chen Xian's territory.

But what disappointed Mu Huali was that in Chen Xian's territory, almost all of them were forts of four or five thousand people, such forts, with two or three thousand muskets and a dozen small iron cannons, were not at all something that cavalry could capture, and it was pointless to capture a fort like this, because there were hundreds of such forts in Chen Xian's territory.

Since two years ago, more and more castles have been completed and fewer and fewer castles have been built, and Chen Xian has found that his cement factory is a little too numerous and has some overcapacity.

Chen Xian transformed some cement factories into other types of hydroelectric plants, and began to build roads on the Shandong Peninsula.
