In only five or six seconds, almost the entire formation of the Fourth Mixed Regiment stopped in an instant, and then the soldiers began to urgently organize the formation!

At this time, if there are Ming cavalry who are in front of the cavalry to observe, and are familiar with the tactics of the Tang Army, then they will find that although the infantry of the pseudo-Tang thief army in front of them are in a panicked formation, the combination of the formation is a standard six-column line, and it is based on the infantry battalion!

The enemy cavalry charge is imminent, and every second now is incomparably precious, and at this time, the rigorous training of the Tang Army in the past has finally reflected its due value!

Although the enemy cavalry was already close in front of them and was launching the final charge, these soldiers of the Tang Army, as if they hadn't seen it, obeyed the orders of the officers and began to line up on their own!

The officers rode on their horses and ordered to form their formations and prepare for battle!

And those soldiers, although many of them were already flustered in their hearts, but at this time, the long-term rigorous training made them make an almost instinctive conditional reaction at this time, even if their minds kept making the sound of running away, but their steps involuntarily obeyed the officer's order to stop, and then began to organize the formation, and the movement was quite fast.

Some of the musketeers who had finished lining up had already raised and lit the arquebus, and as for the muskets in their hands, they had already been loaded in advance, but when they lit the arquebus, many of their hands were trembling, in fact, if they were not allowed to load their ammunition in advance, they might not even be able to load the ammunition now!

Because time did not allow them to list the quadrangular phalanxes that were designed to restrain the cavalry, they could only meet the enemy with the six-column phalanx that they were best at and most familiar with.

The spearmen also raised their spears while tidying up their formations!

Those tired, panting and heavy armored spearmen can finally rest now, they only need to hold the spears in their hands now, and other things are not for them to interfere with.

Compared to the somewhat flustered formations in several infantry battalions, the grenadiers in the 4th Mixed Regiment reacted completely differently!

If the ordinary infantry would be nervous and frightened in the face of this kind of battle, and even wanted to flee, it was only because of the strict military law and the instinct formed by the harsh training in the past to line up to meet the enemy.

Then the grenadiers in the 4th mixed grenadier team are all holding their heads high, and they are the first troops in the whole army to complete the formation!

There were more than 100 people, and no one showed a look of fear, even the two officers in the grenadier team rode on their horses with a relaxed look, and gave orders unhurriedly!

Seeing this scene, Gu Shizhong in the rear couldn't help but sigh, if the infantry under his command were all grenadiers, this battle would be much easier.

But he also knew that his idea was destined to be impossible to achieve.

The grenadiers in the Tang Army are the most elite troops, although the number is small, and each regiment-level unit will be equipped with a grenadier team, but its combat effectiveness is strong, and it is the best in the whole army!

The grenadiers are not so strong because they are well equipped, in fact, the muskets they use are the same as those used by ordinary musketeers, and their signature equipment is grenades, which are now not only equipped by them, but also by ordinary troops, and used in defensive operations.

Even the cuirasses they have recently equipped are actually not unique to them, and many troops are equipped with cuirasses and even full-body armor and half-body armor.

The grenadiers of the Datang Army are so strong in combat effectiveness that they are never because of their equipment, but because of the quality of their personnel!

Nowadays, grenadiers are selected from veterans of various units, and the first criterion is that they must have joined the army for more than one year or participated in more than two battles.

And this condition, there are many people in the Tang Army who can reach it, but the conditions of physical fitness and courage are enough to brush off the vast majority of people.

Only soldiers who are more than 1.7 meters tall and physically strong can be qualified, and after being selected, it depends on their performance, especially if the performance of courage is slightly worse, they will be brushed down immediately.

Because the grenadier unit needs the strongest and bravest soldiers, and as for combat skills, it can be trained slowly!

In many cases, the grenadiers were able to easily win more with less, and had a strong will to fight, and when the casualty rate reached more than 30%, they were still able to maintain a high fighting spirit to attack!

Even if the casualty rate exceeds fifty percent, the grenadiers can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness.

However, after the casualty rate of ordinary troops reaches 30 percent, they will long ago lose their offensive combat effectiveness, and after the casualties reach 50 percent, even defensive operations will have to collapse.

Therefore, in the Tang Army, the superior generals often use the grenadiers as the last trump card, resulting in the grenadiers always appearing on the cruel and most difficult battlefield!

And now, Gu Shizhong also regards the grenadiers as the last trump card, and he hopes that this grenadier can play the most critical role in this battle and buy time for the main force to adjust the formation!

The grenadiers were already lined up behind the array of the main force, and at this time, the forward cavalry of the Ming army, which had already raised the speed of the war horse, was less than two hundred meters away from the array of the third infantry battalion of the fourth mixed regiment!

The leading Ming cavalry saw that the puppet Tang thief army in front of them was lining up, and a young Baihu looked puzzled, and then urged the horses to approach Zhao Qianhu in front and said loudly: "My lord, the puppet Tang thief army in front is a little strange, they stopped and lined up!" ”

The middle-aged Zhao Qianhu didn't care: "If someone kills you, can you not resist?" ”

"These pseudo-Tang thief armies in front of us are just dying and struggling, and after we rush in and disrupt their formation, it's not up to us to decide what we want!"

Immediately, this Zhao Qianhu said: "Also, young man, didn't anyone tell you that you are not allowed to shake the army's heart in battle?" ”

After hearing this, the young Baihu still wanted to say something, but he also had to retreat, and then rode a horse and continued to follow Zhao Qianhu in front!

At this time, Zhao Qianhu had already raised a cavalry spear in his hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Rush!" ”

As Zhao Qianhu took the lead in the charge, several cavalry heralds behind him also blew their horns, and then, the more than 100 Ming cavalry behind him began the final charge!

At the same time, Wang Bianyi, who was behind, saw the cavalry in front of him charge, and immediately frowned again!

Although there were still more than three hundred meters away, he also felt that the reaction of the pseudo-Tang thief army on the other side was a little abnormal, which was not like the performance that an army that was about to be defeated should have.

The normal appearance should be like this: after your own cavalry caught up, the enemy began to flee in a desperate hurry, and then your own cavalry slowly pursued and killed behind, which chased and killed, and killed all the pseudo-Tang thieves who fled in front.

But now, the pseudo-Tang thief army in front of them stopped, although the formation was a little flustered, but they moved too quickly, and it was only a long time, and they had already begun to line up.

More importantly, they lined up before their own cavalry charged.

In his impression, there was the infantry in the superintendent, and it was impossible for them to be in unhurried formation in the face of cavalry charges!

And just when he was puzzled, the Ming cavalry in front of him had already rushed forward, and the few cavalrymen who could shoot arrows on horseback were even directly bent bows and arrows, although the power of the riding bow was weaker than that of the foot bow, but at such a close distance, it was still not small!

At the same time, the puppet Tang thief army on the opposite side also began to fire bursts of dense gunfire!

But there was a humane on the side: "My lord, look, General Zhao has already rushed in!" ”

When this person spoke, he still showed excitement on his face!

Sure enough, when Wang Bianyi looked ahead, he saw Zhao Qianhu's more than 100 cavalry charging at high speed, and they did not break into the infantry phalanx of the puppet Tang thief army that they knew was prepared at a glance, but bypassed it and inserted it directly into the middle of the queue of the two puppet Tang thief armies!

"Rushed in, so easy to rush in?" Wang Bianyi was a little puzzled, although the forward cavalry was constantly hit by the muskets of the puppet Tang thief army and fell down, but they successfully rushed in.

"My lord, the puppet Tang thief army has been broken, let's rush forward too, and annihilate the main force of the thief army in this battle!" Someone next to him said.

Wang Bianyi no longer hesitated at this time, and immediately ordered: "Rush up and separate the pseudo-Tang thief army!" ”

Immediately, the main cavalry of the Ming army, which was more than two hundred meters away from the infantry array of the puppet Tang thief army, also made the final high-speed sprint!

At the same time, in the array of the fourth mixed regiment, there was no panic or even collapse as expected by the cavalry generals of the Ming army!

Especially Zhao Qianhu, who was at the forefront, when he led more than a hundred cavalry under his command to rush in through the gap in the infantry phalanx of the two pseudo-Tang thief army, ready to detour and attack their flank, he found that there was a team of pseudo-Tang thief army infantry with only 100 people in front of them.

Since it has already rushed in, there is absolutely no reason to quit.

In fact, the cavalry of the Ming army who rushed in at high speed could not stop at this time!

Now they are either going to bite the bullet and continue to rush, or they are starting to turn!

And Zhao Qianhu chose to continue to rush forward, because there were only more than 100 puppet Tang thief army infantry in front of him, and he didn't think that his more than 100 cavalry couldn't rush over.

The forward of the Ming army continued to rush forward, and the target was the grenadiers!
