She quickly summoned the herald and asked him to give the order to the cuirassier division, telling them to charge from the left flank to the right flank along the gap in the infantry array!

After the three heralds left together, Yang Miaozhen looked at the battlefield of the assault cavalry and heavy cavalry, and at the same time looked at the cuirassier division behind the artillery line, wearing a cuirass, a high-brimmed hat, and a weapon with a bayonet sword more than one meter long.

When the rescue cavalry was blocked, the camel cavalry artillery on the right flank of Chen's infantry formation finally set up the cavalry cannons and began the first round of firing.

A one-pound cannon, fired from more than two hundred meters away, what happens when a shell falls into an infantry formation?

Will break the first person, penetrate the second person, and kill the third person!

Two hundred small cannons, out of range of flintlock guns, fired at the defensive nine-platoon flank phalanx, which consisted of only three battalions and more than 1,500 men, and the shells could hardly miss, and after just two rounds, a third of the three battalions fell.

Seeing that the troops were about to be broken up alive, the regiment commander in charge of the flank gritted his teeth and issued an order to "bayonet" and "countercharge".

As the flank infantry of the Chen army couldn't help but launch a counter-charge, the light cavalry behind the cavalry artillery of the Beijin Army, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, immediately launched a swift and indomitable assault against the flank infantry of the Chen army who had counter-charged.

The light cavalry of the Northern Jin Kingdom, holding more than three meters of cavalry spears under their armpits, lowered their bodies, bypassed the cavalry artillery in front, and violently collided with the infantry of the Chen army who came up to the countercharge.

Flintlock musketeers who did not have a horse could certainly not meet the cavalry charge.

The light cavalry of the Northern Jin Army rushed past the group of counter-charging infantry and rushed into the line array of Chen's infantry from the side.

They rushed into Chen's infantry array along the barely protected flanks of the line array, and one by one the infantry was stabbed to the ground by them, pretending to be overturned!

Although the infantry array also turned sideways and fired at the cavalry of the Jin Army, the unorganized scattered shooting was a drop in the bucket for the charging cavalry.

At this moment, at the other end of the linear array, a cavalry also rushed into the infantry array from the gap in the infantry array, and they bowed down, holding their swords high, the tip of the sword pointed forward, shouting, and crashing head-on into the light cavalry of the Northern Jin Army!

Yang Miaozhen, who was standing on the watchtower, watched this scene nervously, he was afraid that the cuirassiers, who were only equipped with bayonet swords, would suffer in weapons when they faced the light cavalry equipped with cavalry spears on the other side.

But it turns out that Yang Miao is really worried.

In the case of the horses galloping at high speed on both sides, at the moment when the two clashed, the difference between the three-meter spear and the one-meter bayonet sword may only be a few tenths of a second, and the two sides did not have time to react too much, they could only aim the weapons in their hands at each other, and then let the horses lead them to crash into them.

Because the lancers are too long, the tip of the spear will not be accurate due to vibration in high-speed galloping, so they will mostly target the enemy's relatively large chest, when the two sides collide, although the cavalry spear will stab the opponent first, but most of them will be blocked or slide away by the opponent's breastplate.

When the lancer charges, the reason why they choose to clamp the spear under the armpit is to save physical strength for the counterweight, but on the other hand, it is also to facilitate the release of the spear when it stabs the enemy, so as not to be knocked off the horse by the reaction force of the spear.

This also leads to the fact that when the cavalry spear stabs the opponent, the force is not great, not only is it difficult to break the cuirassier's cuirassier's breastplate, but it is also difficult to interfere too much with the cuirassier's movements.

The cuirassiers in their hands were shorter, so they could control the stabbing more accurately, and Chen Xian's cuirassiers, most of them could do it, in a high-speed gallop, they stabbed the apple hanging in the air with their swords, while the lancers were almost impossible to do.

As soon as the lancers of the Northern Jin Army did not kill their opponents in the collision (which was the majority), the ensuing counterattack of the cuirassiers would have been extremely deadly.

The two forces of cavalry, like two torrents, collided together in the infantry array of Chen's army, and in the collision with each other, in the instinctive reaction of the horses, the speed of both sides slowed down, and they twisted together.

When the cavalry on both sides stalled and the soldiers were huddled together, the clumsiness of the spears became apparent at once.

Without the blessing of horsepower, holding a spear of more than three meters in one hand, the attack of the lancers is inaccurate and powerless, while the cuirassiers, who are only equipped with stabbing swords, are like a fish in water for this situation, and they will even use the cuirass against the enemy's spear, rush to the enemy's side, and assassinate the enemy at close range.

When the light cavalry of the Northern Jin Army slowed down, the infantry that had just been trampled and killed by them at will turned into deadly cavalry killers.

Because the depth of the linear array is shallow, in order to prevent the array from being easily broken through by the enemy, Chen Jun's linear array will not be just a single column, generally there are three columns in front and back, and each column is spaced fifty or sixty meters apart.

The light cavalry of the Northern Jin Army rushed into the gap between the three columns of linear arrays.

When the enemy's hussars were halted by their own cuirassiers, and had just been dispersed, the surviving infantry began to counterattack on the spot.

The light cavalry, which lost its speed, was an extremely eye-catching target in front of the flintlock pikemen.

Not only that, but the officers who had not been hit by the line array reacted from the panic, and they all turned into columns with their soldiers, interspersed with the sides of the Beijin light cavalry......

They then ordered the soldiers to turn around and fired a volley of gun fire at the flanks of the stalled North Kim hussars......

Under the strangulation of the cuirassiers, under the platoon of infantry guns, the Beijin light cavalry finally realized that their operation had failed, and in a flurry of horns, the Beijin cavalry turned around and retreated, and they quickly got rid of the infantry fire and retreated to the open plain on the right flank of the Chen army.

Seeing this scene, Yang Miaozhen slammed his fist on the railing of the watchtower.

If the division commander of the cuirassiers had been a little more decisive just now, chased after the retreating Beijin light cavalry, dragged Yan Pingtao's cavalry formation, and let the remaining division of the assault cavalry that had been mobilized in advance rush to the battlefield, then she would be sure to completely defeat the cavalry in Yan Pingtao's hands today!

The commander of the cuirassier division who commanded the battle probably found that on the plain not far from the right flank of the infantry, there was not only the cavalry artillery position of the second year, but also a larger number of cavalry brigades responding, so he just drove the Beijin cavalry out of the right flank of the infantry, and then stopped the cuirassiers' footsteps and lined up to defend beyond the range of the opponent's one-pound cannon.
