"Array! Array! Defend against cavalry onslaught!! ”

Even if the commander of Rostov was defeated and withdrew his troops, not to mention a large number of mercenaries behind the palace, he still withdrew about 3,000 troops, and I have to say that Shu Zifeng was really lucky to win this battle.

If it weren't for the new flintlock pistols and the military literacy of the veteran Swedish musketeers, the soldiers of the Rostov Regiment would not have ended like this in any case......

However, the number of remnants of these retreating Rostov regiments seems to be bloated and huge, but the lining has been completely broken, they are not withdrawn from the front line in formation, but a group of remnants who have been suppressed and beaten for a long time, and the soldiers cannot find the generals who will not be able to find the remnants of the army!

Since the military officers of this era were filled by nobles, these nobles often took the lead in order to improve the courage of the army, of course, it was generally the small and medium-sized nobles who did this, and the big nobles still rarely came to the front line.

Therefore, these European native bun aristocrats became a corpse on the chaotic battlefield for the first time, and as a result, most of the aristocratic private soldiers degenerated from the realm of 'fighting for the master' to the level of 'fighting for the country'......

You must know that many of these noble private soldiers have no concept of the country at all, and the reason why they subconsciously gather under the banner of the Rostov Regiment is just that these noble generals who can order their masters will escape with them.

After these aristocratic private soldiers retreat, they may be forcibly requisitioned because of the unfavorable war, and there will be a large number of deserters, but at least on the battlefield, they still know how to save their lives, after all, these noble private soldiers are not newcomers to the battlefield!

However, it was a little reluctant to let these aristocratic private soldiers just withdraw from the battlefield, and immediately faced the cavalry charge, and the military spirit that had just been condensed was unnaturally shaken under the hundred horses led by Shu Zifeng.

Fortunately, there are many of them, and they still have the confidence, and they can win by consciously using group fighting.

The most important thing is that the banner of the commanding commander of Rostov-on-Don was erected right behind them, giving them a lot of confidence.

To tell the truth, the composition of the European army in this era is really messy, if you compare it with the army of the late Ming Dynasty of the same era, it can be said that the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother, as for the so-called elite army of the European continent, it is just a level of the elite of the Eight Banners who have just started to use military merits, and the only difference may be that the firearms of the European army can be equipped with a higher rate......

The 16th century was really an era when the combat effectiveness of the army was relatively bad, and the qualitative leap in the armies of the European continent was only successfully reformed after the Thirty Years' War in Europe at the beginning of the 17th century.

On the other hand, in the ancient Oriental countries during the same time period, the standing army system had been popular for a long, long time, but because of the corruption of the bureaucracy and the long period of peace, the national standing army was hollowed out.

The European army can fight not because of how good the white people are at war, but because they fight in the nest all day long, and at the same time they have to face all kinds of foreign invasions......

After Europe broke free from the state of being beaten, it was found that a large number of military powers of the same size appeared in such a large part of the European continent, and then began a long-term war of mutual hatred, they used the wealth plundered by the colonies, constantly escalated the scale of the war, successfully suppressed the explosive population growth of white Europeans, and made the military system more and more advanced......

However, in the ancient country of the East, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there were fewer and fewer wars, and there were no rival countries around, either kneeling or dying, and naturally, the combat effectiveness became stagnant or even regressed!

In the end, it evolved into a group of European powers tempered by the war beating the ancient oriental countries that had been peaceful for a long time, and the outcome was naturally doomed.

To sum up, it is nothing more than being born in sorrow and dying in peace.

Shu Zifeng dared to lead a hundred heavily armored personal guards cavalry to attack thousands of infantry troops, naturally because he deeply understood the composition of the army of Muscovy.

Especially this kind of aristocratic private soldiers who have just retreated, their courage to fight is just 'one pole strength', what Shu Zifeng needs to do is to crush the belief in their chests in one go.

Shu Zifeng's sprint did not carry out meaningless detour harassment, but went straight to the banner of the Chinese army under the command of Rostov-on-Don, relying on 100 heavy cavalry no matter how much they harassed, it could not 'frighten' thousands of troops, even if it was a defeated army with poor command!

Shu Zifeng's hundred-man heavy cavalry guards first set up two staggered columns of shooting and charged, and the cavalry lined up in two rows took out the arquebuses they were carrying, and pulled the trigger on the crowd of people in front of them while charging.

After the fight, they quickly replaced another arquebus, and Shu Zifeng's hundred-man heavy armor guards were each equipped with two arquebuses!

Shu Zifeng's heavily armored cavalry only used arquebuses as disposable shooting tools, so they used arquebuses used by the infantry, with long barrels that shot long, but could not be loaded on horses.

Under the dense salvo of two rounds of 200 buckshot bullets, a gap was suddenly made in the originally well-organized infantry formation, and the defeated troops of Rostov-on-Don, who were unstable, were simply unable to make up for the gap in the rapid approach of the cavalry due to the lack of junior officers.

On the other hand, Shu Zifeng's heavily armored personal guard cavalry, after shooting, quickly adjusted their speed, and formed a small wedge-shaped formation behind Shu Zifeng, and pierced into it fiercely from the gap where the musket broke!

Shu Zifeng's whole body is a thickened version of the knight's full-body plate armor made of stainless steel, and ordinary spears and swords can only rub out the white mark of the spark on it, and it can't break the defense at all, even if the arquebus shoots directly, it can't penetrate it!

Shu Zifeng, who has broken through to the peak realm of the flesh and cultivated a sense of qi, has already broken through the limit of the human body in terms of weight-bearing capacity, and this special pair of stainless steel thickened full-body knight plate armor is a pile of steel plates for ordinary people, let alone put it on, and it can't be picked up......

But Shu Zifeng wore it on his body, and he only felt slightly heavier, which did not affect his melee killing and riding combat at all!

Shu Zifeng, who is almost equal to 'invulnerable', turned into a sharp arrow, and led a hundred guards to ride straight into the banner of the Rostov coach, invincible along the way, although the armor behind him was far less thick than Shu Zifeng, but it was still possible to walk through the gap smashed by Shu Zifeng.

The military formation of thousands of people is so thick, and Shu Zifeng, who broke through on a fine war horse with full body armor, is like entering a no-man's land, waving a specially built horse lance, and rushing all the way over!
