Chapter 1252 Cavalry Battle
Because the decision was made hastily, the preparations for this small-scale battle were also very hasty.
After the hour, at about nine o'clock in the morning, a cavalry contingent of about 1,100 people marched forward along the old official roads and fields, and dozens of war horses galloped forward, which was the main force before the beam horses, and the main work was to reconnoitre, drive away the enemy's sentinels, carry out small-scale outpost cavalry stations, and help the main force to obtain favorable terrain and so on.
In such a winter, several small rivers are frozen, the fields have long been barren, only some shallow ditches remain, due to long-term cultivation, the land above the acres is relatively soft, and after the clumping is also easily trampled by the war horses, the snow is not deep, but the horses' hooves, the speed of this march is also very fast.
Of course, there are also realistic considerations, and there are thousands of Thirteen Mountains regimental training behind him, although it is not the official Ming army, the threat is much greater than that of the Ming army.
In the early afternoon, a large force of Ming cavalry finally appeared, and at the same time, a small-scale cavalry battle began to break out.
The commander of the Jurchen was a Maile Ezhen, who was quite experienced, and he did not invest too many troops at once, but from time to time sent dozens or hundreds of soldiers depending on the situation on the battlefield, and rushed towards the array of Ming cavalry who dared to resist.
Cao Zhenyan received an order at this time, he was ordered to cooperate with the two Jurchen Niulu, and the Mongols of half Niulu cooperated, and attacked from both wings, where there were three or four hundred Ming cavalry, and the Jurchens were circling in circles on the vast black land, both sides kept shooting bows and arrows and throwing weapons, and the three-eyed guns of the Ming army were also constantly playing.
Cao Zhenyan saw that there were several general flags, he was from a family in the Ming army, and easily recognized that there was a general flag and two guerrilla flags, which showed that there should be more than 100 family members in the team, which may also be the reason for the outbreak of cavalry warfare...... Judging from the situation in the past two days, although the cavalry of the ordinary Ming army iron cavalry battalion is well equipped, they almost have no combat experience, and they do not have too strong will to fight to carry out fierce cavalry battles, so when the Houjin soldiers approached, the Ming cavalry retreated in a panic, and the cavalry battle in front of them was quite fierce, well, at least in a short period of time.
Two teams of more than 50 people attacked from the left and right flanks, and quickly approached.
Unexpectedly, the sound of trumpets and cannons sounded in the main formation of the Ming army, and in the sound of banging cannons, there were also two cavalry teams of hundreds of people on the opposite side galloping out of the main camp.
More Ming troops are still in a chaotic group, and a large number of armored Ming troops are gathering on horseback under dozens of general flags, like streams converging into a river.
At this time, ordinary commanders will definitely doubt the strength of their own side, and then shake their determination to take the initiative to invite battle.
But on the opposite side was the cavalry of the Ming army, which gave the commander of the Later Jin a strong confidence, and after seeing that the Ming army had a large force of cavalry to fight, the Jurchen side also sent additional troops and horses, and under the command of the generals and horns, they met the new enemy.
From a high vantage point, cavalry warfare is undoubtedly the most spectacular battle.
A large number of war horses galloped on the flat land, the snow flew to form a fluttering mist, gray and red plus the black and white of the ground formed the mainstream of color, plus the cold white light of the sword and gun, formed a beautiful pattern.
The war horse sped forward, and when it reached within a hundred paces, the Ming cavalry was visibly panicked.
More people tried to bypass from the left and right, and there was no intention of the Ming army to hedge at all.
