Chapter 462, Cavalry (3)

Ao Bai looked at Beacon Hill opposite and shook his head. He knew that relying on his own cavalry, there was really not much he could do to take this wall. It is true that this wall is not high, and he has also captured cities with much higher walls than this, but he has never done such a thing by relying on cavalry alone. Although the Manchurian cavalry in his hand can also be used as infantry, looking at the appearance of the opposite side being in full battle, Ao Bai felt that it was not a good idea to run into it. Moreover, when starting from Ningyuan, Ao Bai also specifically asked someone about the tide, and now look at it, although the land bridge is still on the ground, there should not be much time before the high tide. The tide is expected to rise soon.

At the time of the Battle of Matsuyama, Ao Bai saw with his own eyes what the tide was like. At that time, a rout of the Ming army fled along the coastline, and Ao Bai led the army to pursue, and he saw with his own eyes that the surging tide would engulf the Ming army fleeing along the coast. He knew that when the tide was rising, he could even run faster than a horse (it had to do with the terrain). He looked at the long land bridge and thought, "If you can't beat it down in a short time, the tide will rise, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to retreat." ”

"Set up camp right here." Ao Bai ordered, "Let's watch them." ”

The soldiers began to set up camp. Ao Bai arranged the matter and went to see Mulima's body. The model army did not have the habit of cutting off the head to take credit, and the other cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not far away at that time, and they didn't care about cutting the head or anything, so Mulima's body was still intact.

When Ao Bai came, a man was squatting on the ground, carefully washing Mulima's body with water. Ao Bai also walked over, squatted down, picked up a towel, and wiped the blood from Mulima's body with the man.

"Brother." The man said, "The cavalry of those pirates is strong. ”

Ao Bai nodded and said, "It's very strong, I underestimated the opponent." If I had been cautious, maybe ......"

"Brother, it's not your fault." The man said, "Go into battle and kill, swords and guns have no eyes, where can you not die." It's just, how can a group of pirates have such powerful cavalry? Brother, I'm thinking, in fact, today, even if Mulima is carrying a team of white armor, most of them will still suffer. Their kind of formation is just too ...... I wondered, if we encounter such cavalry again in the future, how can we fight them so as not to suffer? ”

Ao Bai also nodded, as a battle-hardened general, he naturally noticed the enemy's dense formation of charge, and immediately understood the terrifying nature of this kind of cavalry formation.

"Their cavalry formation was very dense, like an infantry gun formation on the ground. In this way, where we put one cavalry, they can put two or even three cavalrymen. In this way, two or even three knives will beckon you at the same time......" Ao Bai said, pointing to several wounds on Mulima's body, "Look, Zhuo Butai, here, here, and here. This is the result of several knives slashing from different directions. Hehe, there are so many knives, even if I go up, I'm afraid I'm going to lie like this. Zhuo Butai, such cavalry is actually easy to train, and it is not easy to train. As long as you can ride a horse and form a horse in such a formation, the martial arts are a little worse, a knife can't cut people, two knives and three knives against a knife, you can still win. It's not easy to practice, the first is to maintain such neatness, and the second is that on the battlefield, you can't change the formation if you collide like this, and you also need to be courageous. Zhuo Butai, do you have any way to deal with such a cavalry formation? ”

Zhuo Butai shook his head, and while carefully wiping the blood on Mulima's face, he said, "Brother, I have thought of some solutions, but they are not very good. ”

"Tell me about it?" Ao Bai said.

"Brother, at first I wondered if I could use mounted archery against them. We shot back the arrows as we retreated. But, I know, it doesn't work. "Their horses are so good, their horses are much faster than us, and in doing so, they only need an acceleration to catch up with us, and then chop us off from behind." I also thought that we could use the same riding formation as they did to fight them. However, this kind of riding formation is not easy to practice, and if it is really two riding formations colliding, the gap between the horses is probably not enough for everyone to pass through, and then everyone will really collide directly, so that the collision, no matter how martial arts, riding skills, dead or alive, only depends on luck. Hehe, we are Manchuria, how can there be so many people to fight with them like this? ”

Ao Bai also nodded, Zhuo Butai was right, fighting like this, wouldn't the martial arts that the Manchurian warriors had practiced over the years be all in vain? However, he was not too worried, because he felt that Huang Taiji would always have a way. Indeed, many times, when everyone has no choice, Huang Taiji can always come up with a solution and lead everyone to more victories.

"Zhuo Butai," said Aobai, "I have a matter for you. ”

"Brother, if there is anything, you just have to command." Zhuo Bu Tai Dao.

Ao Bai nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Zhuo Butai's shoulder and said, "What is Jinzhou now, it still needs to be determined." Jinzhou is not far from here, I plan to rest for a day, and tomorrow I will personally take a team of cavalry to Jinzhou to investigate. It's just that you have to keep an eye on it here, if Mulima is still alive......" Speaking of this, Ao Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother, let the brother go to this matter." Zhuo Butai said, "The army is still inseparable from my brother. Although I am not as good as the Mulima brothers in other things, I can still ride a horse and be a scout. Big brother, let me go to Jinzhou to investigate. ”

"Brother," said Ao, "you are no worse than me in terms of equestrianism." However, I am worried that along the way, you may encounter the cavalry of the Zheng family. Our horses are inferior to them, and once they are entangled, it is difficult to get out. Moreover, their cavalry is very capable of fighting, and we will not be able to defeat them without a big advantage in numbers until we break their cavalry formation. Our horses can't outrun them, and it's very dangerous to be targeted by their men. So, if you go, be extra careful. I just lost a brother today......"

Speaking of this, Ao Bai stopped again, and after a pause, he said: "Before leaving, the emperor lent me his night lion (actually a white Arabian horse from Liaozhen). This horse will be handed over to you tomorrow. ”

Ao Bai then encamped with these cavalry near Beacon Hill and confronted the defenders of the island. Early the next morning, Ao Bai sent several groups of scouts to the direction of Jinzhou.
