Yang Lin thought so, and Haoge, who was standing in the distance and commanding the battle of Manchuria and the Blue Banner, also had his own careful thoughts.

Haoge originally hoped that the Blue Banner Bayala Battalion and the Yellow Flag Bayala Battalion could approach the Chinese Volunteers from the left and right flanks like two sharp knives and launch a surprise attack, and the main force of the Zhenglan Banner led by him followed closely behind to wipe out other soldiers and horses, so as to resolve the battle so quickly.

However, due to the fact that the battlefield was too narrow (only 2 kilometers horizontally), there was a strange scene on the battlefield, the weaker Zhenglan Banner Bayala battalion attacked the big tent of the opponent's Chinese army, and the more powerful Manchuria inlaid yellow flag was blocked by the opponent.

Ao Bai led 800 cavalry Manchuria inlaid yellow flag Bayala battalion from this side of the Jialing River to rush to kill, in order to increase the cavalry momentum, everyone assembled 200 meters away from the battle formation, formed five rows in front and back, and then blunt soldiers in front, sharp soldiers in the rear, rushed over.

But today's battlefield was not as smooth, seeing the Tartar iron cavalry assembled in front of the formation, the opposite volunteer army quickly retreated, relying on the surrounding terrain, mountains, rivers and ditches to form a nasty military formation.

In order to avoid being scattered by the cavalry, the outermost row of Wugang chariots, rickshaws and carriages were connected, and the personnel stood behind the carts, waiting for the opportunity to shoot at the enemy cavalry who had come over.

In the face of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, the Ming army also formed a chariot formation in the past, but it was often three layers in the middle, three layers in the middle, and three layers in the outside, and the entire car array area was huge, and some needed 3,000 men and horses.

The volunteer army chariot formation on the opposite side was completely different, although there were also Wugang chariots and rickshaws around it, but the number of people was only more than 500 people, which was very small.

For this kind of miniature version of the car formation, Ao Bai initially didn't care, thinking that it would be defeated, but everyone complained bitterly as soon as the two sides first clashed.

The cavalry came and went on the battlefield like the wind, and the crossbow was mostly a battlefield weapon to restrain the enemy cavalry in history.

On the battlefield, the most fearful should be the iron cavalry group charge, obviously the front of the volunteers know how to do it, facing the Manchurian blue flag Bayala battalion that is assembling two hundred meters away, the other side uses a rocket launcher to release arrows.

The rocket fell around the soldiers like locusts, although there was not much crosshair, but the range was very large, Rao is everyone wore two layers of three-layer armor (Qi Jiajun Xiaoqi wore cotton armor outside the chain mail, so it was common for heavy riders to wear two layers of three-layer armor at the end of the Ming Dynasty), and the horses were also draped.

The rocket launched from a distance of 200 meters from the bazooka, although it was difficult to kill and injure the heavily armored Eight Banners Iron Cavalry in a large area, but everyone sat down on the war horse and had little defense, and they couldn't resist it at all.

The bazookas continued to ignite and rain down, startling the eight banner blunt soldiers in front of them to tighten their horses and dodge.

In addition to the annoying bazooka, what is even more intimidating is the Franco cannon in the opponent's formation, seeing that the soldiers of the Eight Banners are constantly gathering, and now they are desperately radiating, and the solid iron ball is constantly galloping, even if the three-layer heavy armor protection has no effect.

Don't say that you can't stand it when you hit people, even if you hit a horse, there is often a huge hole.

Due to the long-distance attack of bazookas, Fran cannons, and three-pound guns, it was difficult for the Tartar cavalry to complete the formation two or three hundred meters away in front of the formation as usual, and then calmly attack the volunteer formation.

Seeing that the other party gradually built up a car formation, and saw that the soldiers around him were constantly injured, Ao Bai was unwilling to continue to wait, and led the Manchurian Yellow Flag Bayala Battalion to rush over, and now he realized that this was the beginning of the nightmare.

The Bayala battalion was the elite of Manchuria, and although many ordinary soldiers could hold a six-force bow and shoot two or three hundred yards on flat ground, they were mostly light arrows and did not have much lethality.

Now on horseback, the horse is upside down, and the body cannot be as flexible as on the ground, and there are more than 100 steps of light arrows from a distance, and only more than 30 steps of heavy arrows.

The Manchurian Yellow Banner Bayala battalion rushed over, and the infantry hid behind the car formation and fired continuously, without any intention of stopping.

According to the hollow formation method, there are generally three layers on one side, but because it is now located in a hilly area, each battalion often ranks in two layers in dangerous places with the help of the terrain such as mountains and rivers, so that the number of frontal layers reaches four or five layers.

Everyone rushed to kill, originally thinking that the row of cars in front of them could be easily broken, but as soon as they fought, they found that it was difficult.

Not only the muskets and arrows on the opposite side continued, but it was also very difficult to rush to the front of the car formation, unlike the Ming army in the past, they jumped over layers of obstacles and rushed to the front of the car formation, and suddenly found that a group of soldiers rushed out of the formation, often forming a combat group in groups of three or five.

A man brandished a two-zhang wolf stabbing at the sprinting horse, startling the rider hurriedly tightened the reins of the horse to dodge, and at this moment, a man brandished a spear (or boring palladium) to attack the knight on horseback, just when the knight dodged left and right, a short and capable man rushed out of nowhere, covered his upper body with a rattan tag and rolled to the front of the horse, brandishing a horse chopping knife and slashing at the horse's legs.

Although the cavalry alone has an absolute advantage, in the face of the volunteers, this combination of punches suffered serious losses.

In the face of huge frontal casualties, Ao Bai also tried to attack from the flanks and from the back, but often encountered various unexpected difficulties on the battlefield.

If the terrain on one side is steep, which is not conducive to cavalry charge, the volunteers on the hillside have to dismount and fight, and have to give up the advantage of rapid maneuvering of war horses.

If you fall into a horse trap, because the volunteer cavalry is less, there are many horse traps dug in the camp, and people can move freely on it, but if the war horse steps on it, everyone will inevitably fall into the pit.

Such as a side of the river, paddy fields, difficult to cross, everyone hates the most is the paddy field, the war horse accidentally fell into it is difficult to jump, if the knight does not flee quickly, soon become a live target of the volunteers in the distance.

Although the terrain was completely unfavorable to the Qing army, Ao Bai urged the soldiers and horses of the green battalion behind him on the one hand, and led his troops to fight on the other hand, but the green battalion was already frightened and frightened, and the battle was quite negative.

Although one or two hollow formations were broken during this period, they were found to be extremely flexible, and the defeated sergeants often attached themselves to the nearby hollow formations, and then fought with the Tartar cavalry.

Ao Bai now realized that after the improvement, the car formation was like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard, and it was even more difficult to completely defeat the other party.

When Feng Youqing, Wang Shuji, Wang Jiushao and other troops were dealing with Ao Bai, Gao Mingzhan and others, but the Bayala battalion of the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner was surprisingly smooth, bypassing the frontline and attacking the Chinese army tent of the volunteers.

But at this moment, Ao Bai suddenly felt an uneasy neighing sound from the war horse under his crotch, tightened the reins of the horse with his hand, raised his eyes and looked around, and found dozens of red-coated cannons on the city wall at some point.

Haoge secretly screamed that he was about to turn around and lead his troops to withdraw, but it was too late, the artillery regiment of the Volunteer Army had already aimed its guns at the Manchurian Blue Flag Protector Camp that was fighting to bombard, only to hear the explosions one after another, and in a moment the entire city wall was filled with fire, and one by one iron balls pierced the sky and fell in the Manchurian Blue Flag Guard Camp of more than 300 meters.

Due to the close distance (more than 300 meters), the shooting accuracy is high, and almost most of them fall on the side of the Manchurian Blue Banner cavalry.

The volunteers are equipped with more than 2 pound cannons, fired at close range, the shells fall into the herd of horses and explode, a shell falls down and explodes, the projectiles fly sideways, and the horses around four or five meters may be injured.

In addition to a large number of soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners who were deeply involved in the formation, it was unexpected that many horses were frightened, and the frightened horses ran around regardless of the knights on horseback.

During the Second Opium War, during the Battle of Baliqiao, in order to block the Tartar cavalry, the British and French forces used rocket artillery to shoot continuously, causing the war horses to be frightened and the formation was chaotic.

There were constant explosions around, and the debris flying everywhere after the explosion of the flowering bombs frightened the Tartar horses a lot, and after a round of shelling, dozens of horses were frightened in vain and tried desperately to break free from the shackles of the riders on horseback, which caused a burst of confusion in the Tartar formation.

With the sound of artillery as a signal, the Volunteers launched a counteroffensive on all fronts.

Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie each led their cavalry regiments out of the city gate, and everyone bypassed the trap and went straight to the opponent's rear.

Ten miles upstream of the Xijiang River, Yang Wei's 2nd Regiment and Yang Bingyi's 5th Regiment also crossed the Xijiang River and attacked the Tartar Rear Army's Great Tent from behind.

The main force of the Eight Banners has now fallen into the military formation, although the soldiers of the Eight Banners have been in battle for a long time, although everyone rides on tall horses to come and go quickly and quickly, but the interior of the fortifications is not conducive to their operations.

In order to guard against the Tartar cavalry, there were quagmires everywhere, stumbling ropes everywhere, horse pits, and horse nails everywhere, and everyone did not dare to indulge in the fight at all.

The sound of guns and cannons continued, and the sound of horses' hooves was bursting, and now everyone understood that the Qing army had fallen into a huge trap.
