The only ones who could fight the cavalry on the battlefield were the cavalry, and now there may be firearms, and the heavy artillery of the Tartar army has been destroyed.

The world is rumored to be the Eight Banners' cavalry and archery matchless, and this is the time for them to go out to hedge, but the forward battalion and the Xiao cavalry battalion are all frightened, trembling and afraid to go forward.

The charge of the Jiaozhou battalion this time is not the previous slow and leisurely decoy horse team, but the heavy cavalry in the center of the square, the light cavalry on both wings to cover the dignified charge array, the full eight banners have always been extremely proud of their armored cavalry charge, known as the first heavy cavalry in the world since the Song Dynasty.

Of course, this kind of armored charge of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is incomparable with the ironclad cavalry of the Jin State and the Mongolian cavalry, but in the east of this era, it can indeed be called the first heavy cavalry, which is used in the battle array, and the end is devastating, and the power is endless, and the military formation of the Ming army is basically collapsed at one touch.

But after the iron cavalry of the Jiaozhou battalion became an army, the leader of this cavalry was not them, but the mobile steel fortress of the Jiaozhou battalion!

The distance between the two sides made it impossible for the cavalry of the Jiaozhou battalion to run too fast when they were moving, whether it was the heavy cavalry in the center or the light cavalry on both wings, they were slowly pacing forward, which was an extremely slow process, in order to let the horses gradually warm up and prepare for the final assault.

The sound of hooves rumbled, and the weapons and armor shimmered in the reflection of the sun, but the slow approach caused great pressure on the military formation of the Tartar army.

Watching such a strong soldier and horse approach step by step. The Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers who were already lined up on the front line had no courage to fight at all, and many of them even forgot to say that they were attacked on their backs. In the eyes and in the heart, there is only the opposite side of this terrifying-looking iron cavalry.

Abatai of the Chinese army turned his head to look at the faces of his subordinates, he also knew what was going on, according to the previous statement, if the Ming army dared to charge in such a formation, there would have already been a full army of eight banners to automatically ask for help, lead the army to attack, with cavalry against cavalry, with charge against charge, completely defeat these Ming troops on the opposite side.

But at this time. Everyone is trembling, no one dares to take the initiative to say this, let alone mention the initiative to ask for war, courage, the most important thing on the battlefield, why was they lost it cleanly.

It's not a long process. It's just one day and one night, full of eight banners, the pride and morale of the Qing ** team, and the self-confidence they have cultivated from so many victories, all of which have been inexplicably and suddenly popped up by the Jiaozhou battalion. \ Completely smashed.

"Mobilize the Mongol stragglers, transfer the Han army's musketeers, take the front line of the formation, shoot with firearms and lunges, and give the opponent a head-on blow first!!"

There was still time to prepare, and as the commander of the first army, Abatai knew that he could not panic, but only gave orders one after another.

In the ranks of the Qing army, except for the Korean firecrackers. The Sanshun King system also has a lot of soldiers armed with firearms, after all, they are from the Ming army system, and they pay more attention to this firearm than the Han army outside the Han Eight Banners.

But the North Korean firecrackers have the heroic deeds of killing the five ministers Fei Yang Gudi in the battle, in the hearts of the Manchurian nobles, of course, the North Korean firecrackers are more powerful, but yesterday, the first to be abandoned is the North Korean firecrackers, and now it is no fish or shrimp, and the firecrackers of the Sanshun King system are directly on top.

Yesterday, the Han army suffered great losses, and the number of Han armies that could be collected at the moment was not too large. The general Abatai also knew that the morale of the army fluctuated the most at this time. The most war-minded people are probably those Mongolian stragglers, these herdsmen originally followed the army to the Ming Kingdom to loot and reap benefits. Now that there is no benefit, there is such a death battle, and the cannon fodder is not all stupid, they also know the stakes, if there is a death battle of the intensity of yesterday, I am afraid that these herdsmen will not fight because they are now in the enemy country.

I am afraid that it is completely possible to disperse directly, or surrender to the other party, if you mobilize them to come to the front of the battle, dismount and shoot, one is to use dense long-range firepower to block the forward charge of the opponent's cavalry, and the other is that the Mongolian and Mongolian eight banners are all cavalry, these Mongolian herdsmen who dismounted, even if they want to escape, do not worry.

Abatai's order, the soldiers of the Manchurian Eight Banners immediately took action, and drove the Mongolian archers and firecrackers towards the side of the Chinese army.

After a short time, the people had already been driven to the predetermined position, and at this time, the heavy cavalry on the opposite side had already begun to rush forward under the order of Tang Erdi.

Ordered to the general Abatai's calm performance, or to the surrounding Manchu and Mongolian generals to eat a reassurance, after all, not as panicked as before, Abatai looked back, because the foot soldiers were in front of him, a little calmed a little forward battalion and the horse team of the cavalry battalion, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but on the surface he was still very calm, and ordered loudly:

"Each of the Eight Banners Horse Battalion retreats a hundred steps, and if the infantry fire hinders the advance of the enemy cavalry, it will be attacked by a sudden attack!!"

This is a grasp of the rhythm of the battlefield, no matter how fierce the momentum of the opponent's cavalry is, it will definitely slow down the momentum by such a large group of bows and arrows and firearms.

As for the Mongolian herdsmen and Han soldiers who stood in the way, cannon fodder was cannon fodder, and no one thought about their lives or deaths......

Tang Er, the cavalry commander of the Jiaozhou battalion, had been counting in a low voice, and when he almost counted a certain number, the spear in his hand tilted forward for a minute.

With the gradual increase in the amplitude of the inclination of the spear, the degree of heavy cavalry and light cavalry is also slowly accelerating, in fact, when to add, when to assault, this has become a subconscious instinct of the cavalry officer, the reason why Tang Er is here silently is nothing more than a habit.

There is a finger-and-a-half-width slit on the cheek that is a passage for the eyes to look outward. The field of vision is not wide, and you can only see the enemy formation in front of you. For the heavy cavalry, this is enough, according to Li Meng's lecture to the iron cavalry:

"Your task is the enemy in front of you, your flanks are protected by your comrades, rush over, go and crush the enemy in front of you, this is your task and duty, look ahead, and concentrate on it. Leave nothing else. ”

Tang Er kept these words in mind, the current enemy of the Iron Cavalry was the Tartar Army, and the Iron Cavalry was coming to break the enemy's formation.

As a cavalryman, there is still a little more romance and reverie than the infantry, Tang Er always thinks that he is leading a large number of cavalry and the same large number of cavalry to collide, that is majestic. This life is not wasted.

Of course, there are not so many idealized battlefields and battles, originally Tang Er thought that the Tartar cavalry might be able to hedge against his own iron cavalry in the world, and the two sides waved their swords and slashed fairly, just like those generals in ancient times.

However, the real battlefield is much more boring than his ideals. With such an indomitable posture of the iron cavalry, of course the other party did not dare to face its front.

Seeing the Mongolian archers and firecrackers who were driven away and lined up on the opposite side, Tang Er naturally knew what the other party was going to do, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and tilted the spear in his hand forward a little, his movements were seen by the iron cavalry behind him, and they all followed and accelerated their horse steps. ^^^^

Now the iron cavalry has begun to trot, and the rumble on the battlefield has become dense. Where have those Mongolian herdsmen seen such a posture, some people standing on the periphery directly threw the bow and arrow in their hands on the ground, regardless of the need to flee, the Manbaqi and Mengbaqi ground horse teams were frightened at this time It is one thing, but the team still deserves to be decent, anyone who drops the bow and arrow and runs, immediately chases down with the horse, and cuts it down with a knife in the back.

If you continue to kill like this, no one will dare to move, and you will line up there obediently. Beside these formations of foot soldiers ready to strike with bows and arrows and muskets. There were also generals in charge of the command, and these generals estimated the distance between the enemy cavalry and the main formation quite accurately. It's always where to call the number out loud.

This is also for the archers and musketeers to achieve the most effective maximum kill in their own range, the Tartar army, the generals around the infantry phalanx are staring at the front, shouting at the top of their voices.

"Three Hundred Steps!!

"Two hundred and fifty steps!!" "Two hundred steps!!"

When he shouted two hundred paces, the local officer turned to his own camp in astonishment, and scolded loudly at the top of his voice:

"The enemy hasn't arrived yet, don't be in a hurry to open fire, don't prepare again soon!!"

I don't know who is very nervous, first fired the fire gun, this distance of two hundred steps, the fire gun can have a ghost effect, this side shouted loudly, but heard a swishing sound, the dense rain of arrows actually shot out, shooting the distance of forty or fifty steps of the front as if a lot of dead grass had suddenly grown.

All the Tartar officers shouted and cursed, urging them to draw their bows or reload their ammunition quickly, and the more tense the season, the more chaotic it became.

"One hundred and fifty steps!!"

As soon as these words were shouted, another fire gun sounded, and the bow and arrow were shot, and several leaders and staff leaders of the Zhenghong Banner were furious, and walked directly into the array of bows and arrows and fire guns with swords, cut off the heads of several unlucky ghosts, and brandished their swords there and shouted loudly:

"Hold down, hold down, whoever shoots again will cut off his head!!"

In the past, when the enemy was far out of the firing range, he fired indiscriminately, resulting in the barrel being hot or the arm being sore, but after the enemy entered the firing range, he had no ammunition or no strength to continue to attack forward.

It has always been one of the allusions of the Tartar soldiers and horses to make fun of the Ming army, and they feel that they will not make such a mistake at all, if it is the Manchurian army and the enemy, the archers and firecrackers will definitely respond calmly and suppress the fight, and they have fought with the Ming army several times, and they have indeed done this.

However, today's performance proves that they are just troops who have not seen a really strong army, and they are oppressed by the iron cavalry of the Jiaozhou battalion, whether it is the Mongolian infantry archers or the Han army's musketers, they are also guilty of this problem.

The mere threat of beheading was no longer effective, and the Mongol infantry archers and the Han army's musketeers were at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces to one hundred paces. Two rounds of fire and three rounds of bows and arrows were fired.

That's a rare level of efficiency. It's just that this high efficiency has no effect on the enemy, and the infantry standing there looked at the unstoppable demon god-like heavy cavalry opposite, and the string in their hearts was about to break, and they only felt a little relieved by shooting out the weapons in their hands.

Presumably, this is how the Ming army felt when facing the onslaught of the Tartar cavalry, but the feng shui took turns, and finally turned back.

However, compared to the Eight Banners who did not even have the courage to line up in the front, these soldiers who were forced to be in front of the formation seemed to be slightly stronger.

At a distance of one hundred and fifty paces from the enemy's formation. Tang Er reined in the horse, the spear in his hand was completely flat, and behind him, the subway cavalry team began to add, whistling past Tang Er's side,

By the time he rushed a hundred paces, the mounts of the Iron Cavalry could already be said to have run. But it's not that it's too fast, at this distance, the fire gun can already hit.

But Fang Cai was still highly loaded with ammunition, and he shot the Han soldiers outwards regardless of it, but now he couldn't shoot a single shot, and the distance was within a hundred steps. These firecrackers could even feel the ground trembling, and they could see the image of the Iron Cavalry clearly, and the murderous aura of the Iron Cavalry with only their eyes on their faces was extremely terrifying.

Not only the Han army's firecrackers, but even the Mongolian infantry archers, they were all trembling, the firearms were a little troublesome to load, but there were forgivable circumstances, they just pulled the bow and shot arrows, but they were also afraid that they couldn't do the complete action. The Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners generals on either side of them were shouting and scolding at the top of their voices.

But in the midst of the roar of the Iron Cavalry rushing towards them, nothing could be heard clearly, except for the clatter of the clatter of the armor of the Iron Cavalry, and the roar of the horses' hooves trampling the ground.

An arrow whizzed out, nailed to the eye of an iron cavalry mount with great accuracy, and the mount was in pain, but the weight on his body was so heavy that he couldn't jump up at all, but his body was oblique and turned directly over. And bring the cavalry on horseback to the ground. Fortunately, on the periphery, the light cavalry could dodge.

It is not known who shot this arrow. However, this was the only damage inflicted on the heavy cavalry by the Mongol infantry archers and musketeers when they rushed to within thirty paces.

It's not just this one arrow that has been shot, but it is this arrow that can cause damage, and it is more likely that it is not that it is accurate, but that the blind cat has encountered a dead mouse, and none of the firecrackers can even be fired at this time.

The bow and arrow were shot at the iron cavalry metro armor, and the horse's felt shield did not cause any damage at all.

The first to flee was not the Mongolian infantry archers, nor the Han army's musketers, but the cavalry team of the Mongolian Eight Banners who supervised the battle around, and they ran directly to the surroundings.

Everyone was going to turn around and run away, but in order to ensure the intensity of the shooting and the intensity of the fire, these people were all lined up very tightly, how could they disperse.

Ah, with a miserable shout, this was only the beginning, and the spears slanted downward, and the iron cavalry rushed into the ranks.

Traveling to open a bloody road, or cutting tofu with a quick knife, or cutting butter with a hot knife from the West, describes this kind of smooth, unhindered cutting, such a momentum, even smoother and smoother than the so-called momentum.

This is the scene when the iron cavalry rushes into the pawn array, the cavalry, the horses, the cavalry iron armor, the shielding on the horse, as well as the horse harness and weapons, etc., together with the degree of the horse's forward rush, the momentum constituted is extremely huge, in the face of such a charge, even the Jiaozhou battalion can only be blocked by the so-called veteran phalanx, not to mention these foot soldiers armed with bows and arrows and firearms.

A spear can often penetrate four or five enemy soldiers, and in such a state, the spear cannot be drawn, and these people directly drop the spear in their hands.

The Mongolian Tartars and Han soldiers below who were already frightened were scared, and everyone also paid attention to the fact that the cavalry had already dropped their spears, maybe they could take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of it, or launch a counterattack, everyone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, and the farther they ran, the better.

The iron cavalrymen, who had lost their spears, drew their great swords from the side of their saddles, raised them with one hand, and slashed them fiercely at both sides. Below is a mess of defeated soldiers, each sword down. can take away the lives of one or two people, and no one dares to face the enemy head-on.

Everyone sold the back to the enemy, and the iron cavalry of the Jiaozhou battalion wielded a big sword and slashed like this, and the damage was very fast.

Those foot archers and firecrackers in front were so slashed and slaughtered, in other words, it was a massacre, and it was still quite a dense team, just in this short period of time. It was already a sparse sparse shackling, and of course this large number of soldiers on the periphery were more desperate routs.

The two squares of the iron cavalry in front, the iron cavalry that rushed into the ranks of soldiers was about three rows of iron cavalry, and they didn't expect the other party to be so vulnerable.

If it is a strong formation and queue of foot soldiers, the first line of the iron cavalry cannot be destroyed, at this time. The second and third waves of cavalry will rush up.

In the process of adding to the square, the distance between each row of iron cavalry was widened, and except for the first row, which was charged with all their might, the rest of the rows were controlling their horses, preparing for the second wave. The third wave of the charge began to add to the charge.

However, this infantry phalanx is too vulnerable, and not just any army can have the courage and strict discipline of the Jiaozhou battalion.

Seeing that the soldiers in the first row had already rushed away from the opponent's military formation, the iron cavalry in the second row and the third row also slowed down their horses, dropped their riding spears, drew out their big swords and iron bones and followed them in to slash and kill.

But no matter what, the Ming army's heavy cavalry rushed forward to the ground and was indeed blocked by these foot soldiers, this is the low tide of the opponent's cavalry charge, and it is the weakest time, and the heavy blows may be able to turn defeat into victory.

It was this opportunity that the general Abatai and Yue Le and the others were waiting for. The generals of each team gave orders one after another, and the Eight Banners Horse Team, which had already retreated a hundred paces away, began to move.

At this time, the Mongolian infantry archers and firecrackers who were sandwiched in the middle had not completely escaped, and they complained bitterly that these killing gods in front were still slashing and killing, and their own people in the back actually followed up again.

It didn't take long for the Eight Banners Ground Horse Team to charge from moving, after all, it was within a hundred steps, and such a short time made it impossible for these foot soldiers in front of them to completely disperse.

However, the horse team of the Eight Banners of Mongolia didn't care about their comrades at all, and they also ran into it regardless of it, and the horse team of the Eight Banners and the iron cavalry of the Jiaozhou battalion seemed to be two sledgehammers. In desperate striking the phalanx of foot soldiers that were caught in the middle. Whoever penetrates these foot soldiers first will be able to penetrate the opposing team earlier.

The iron cavalry who moved and slashed with their swords also saw each other's movements. The heavy armor and weapons kept them from moving too fast, and the heavy cavalry, which had lost their mobility, was a meal for cavalry in motion, and the only way they could think of it now was to collide as much as possible.

But the iron cavalry that had already rushed in the Jiaozhou battalion made a move that the Tartars did not understand, and the iron cavalry who rushed in turned their horses and scattered to both sides, not caring whether there were any foot soldiers killed on their sides, and left directly.

The foot soldiers who were sandwiched in the middle, whether in front or behind, were already scattered, and the horse team full of eight banners, if they speeded up, could also pursue the Jiaozhou battalion iron cavalry that was slowly moving towards both sides.

The horse team that fought back with the Eight Banners was also slightly hindered by the foot soldiers, but they could still catch up, but the iron cavalry that rushed in and slashed and killed was only half of the two teams in front.

Waiting for the counterattack cavalry full of eight banners to come out, but saw that the iron cavalry, which had almost stopped, began to move forward slowly, this time it was not such a long process, and the horses that had already warmed up could easily add up, watching the heavy cavalry with flat spears rushing towards their side.

The Tartars' counterattack horse team is really frightened, they don't know how to deal with it at all, they collide head-on, and they are not the opponent of these iron cans anyway, but this is going to be scattered, although it is to hinder the advance of the opponent's iron cavalry, but it is inevitable to be scattered, but there is no team behind him to fight back.

It was only the generals who hesitated, and the Tartar soldiers below were all skilled in horseback, and at this time they didn't care about the main formation of the Chinese army, and they scattered towards both sides of the hula at once, and the Chinese army of the Tartar army, the formation of the blocking and counterattack carefully arranged by Abatai, became empty in an instant.

The light cavalry on both sides of the iron cavalry did not rush over together, and turned directly towards the two wings of the army.

The current Tartar troops are soldiers and horses with Jiaozhou battalions on all sides, and it is difficult to escape. The body is very uncomfortable, and your subscription and monthly pass to this book is to give Lao Bai the motivation to move forward, thank you
