The Qing cavalry had rushed too smoothly before, and they were a little carried away at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Deep in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he actually sent his cavalry out to monitor the fleeing civilians, so that there were not enough posts to observe the enemy situation in the rear, and when Wang Guoxing's cavalry was discovered, the distance between the two sides was only about 1,500 meters.

1,500 meters, for a high-speed galloping war horse, half a pillar of incense time (about two minutes), can be reached.

At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army had already launched a charge towards the infantry led by Wang Sheng, and it was impossible to change the formation to respond to the enemy in a short time.

"Pass the order and speed up the breakthrough of the enemy line!" The commander of the Qing army ordered loudly.

For today's plan, the Qing army had to cut through the infantry phalanx in front of them, break through first, and then assemble the team to hedge with the Ming cavalry in the rear.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was worthy of being a nation on horseback, and the Qing cavalry who received the order soon divided 500 light cavalry to form a sharp knife and rushed into the Ming infantry phalanx without hesitation.

"Pull the stumbling horse, you must resist me, don't let the Tartars rush over!" Wang Sheng yelled.

Wang Sheng also understood that at this critical moment, if the Qing army broke through his defensive line, it would be equivalent to missing the best opportunity to destroy the enemy, so he issued a death order.

The working principle of the tripping rope is very simple, that is, it uses inertia to trip the enemy's war horses to limit the cavalry's mobility.

However, the tripwire is generally used on the battlefield, and a wooden stake is nailed to connect one end of the rope on the road that the cavalry must pass, and then a simple mechanism is set up at the other end, waiting for the enemy cavalry to approach, touch the mechanism, and bounce the triphorse rope, which can effectively deal with the enemy's war horse.

As for the use of manpower........ The role of inertia is mutual, using manpower to pull up the tripping horse and block the high-speed running war horse, and finally whether the war horse can be tripped over, this is difficult to say, but the person who pulls the rope is definitely not happy.

When the cavalry of the Qing army rushed into the formation, the tripwire pulled up by more than a dozen people together collapsed in an instant under the simultaneous impact of four or five war horses.

The lucky townsmen were just carried away by this huge force, and finally fell to the ground, and the bad luck did not grasp the tripping horses, because of the huge friction of the rope, they scraped off a layer of skin on their hands.

The heart-piercing pain in their hands made it extremely difficult for the soldiers to even pick up arms.

Fortunately, no matter what, the effect of stumbling is still good, not only the villagers were tripped up, but the war horses of the Qing army were also hit again and again.

The villagers pulled up a large number of tripwires on the route of the Qing army's war horses, and the 500 sharp knives that rushed forward were put down by more than 100 by the small tripping horses.

These fallen Qing cavalry were hacked to death by the villagers who swarmed up before they could get up.

With the hatred of the villagers for the Qing army, let alone people, even the fallen war horses never got up again...........

As more and more horses fell to the ground, the speed of the Qing army's sprint was gradually reduced, and the main force of the Qing army rushing in the rear was even more blocked by the corpses lying down in the military formation, and had to reduce their speed.

In order to retain the main force of the Qing army, many people even held weapons in their hands and used their bodies to resist the impact of the horses, just to bleed the enemy horses before they died, and consume the physical strength of the horses.

Because they were anxious to get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry in the rear, this time the Qing army did not use the advantage of cavalry and archery to maneuver with the infantry as before.

As a result of the forced break, the number of casualties exceeded 1,000.

If in the past, after paying such a huge price, what followed by the Qing army was a large-scale harvest.

However, this time it didn't work, the Ming cavalry was still chasing after them, stopping to harvest a group of village warriors, and in the end it was really hard to say who would harvest whom.

The remaining more than 8,000 cavalry who chiseled through the camp began to quickly gather the whole team, only to be attacked by sneak attack, and the losses were somewhat serious, and the Qing army generals who had completed the whole team decided to give the Nanming cavalry a good lesson.

Compared with the cavalry of the Qing army, although Wang Guoxing's five thousand elite cavalry did not have any losses, the rookie was a rookie after all, and followed a group of Qing soldiers into the battle behind the buttocks, but was blocked by the corpse that fell to the ground.

The entire cavalry team, after walking out of the camp, has become scattered and invisible, fortunately this is only a war horse, if you drive a chariot, then at this time it is a serious traffic jam.

The charge had turned into a walk, and Wang Guoxing had to urge his generals to quickly organize the team.

However, at this time, the Qing army on the opposite side had already begun to charge...........

"Leave the formation alone, let's get on together!" Wang Guoxing could only give an order.

The heavy cavalry relied on a careful formation, used its own armor defense ability, and created a suppressive breakthrough against the enemy's position through the speed and momentum generated by the group charge.

Once the heavy cavalry is dispersed, it will be no different from ordinary light cavalry, and even inferior to ordinary cavalry in terms of reaction ability, combat endurance, mobility and other aspects.

Now Wang Guoxing asked to charge separately, it was really a helpless move, the Qing army had already launched an attack, and if the whole team continued at this time, it was estimated that it would not be far from annihilation.

The Qing army knew the strength of the heavy cavalry, and also knew the weakness of the other party, so it did not hedge head-on with Wang Guoxing's cavalry, but dispersed again, using cavalry and archery, to consume Wang Guoxing's cavalry troops little by little.

Although the heavy cavalry has the protection of fine armor, in order to reduce the weight of the equipment, most of the non-lethal places are not covered with fine armor, and the Qing cavalry has a large number of them, and under the random arrows, they can always shoot a few.

As time passed, the heavy cavalry losses became more and more serious, and the physical strength of the war horses also decreased rapidly, and the advantage of the Qing army became greater and greater.

If nothing else, the heavy cavalry led by Wang Guoxing is likely to be slowly consumed by the Qing cavalry, followed by the remaining infantry army composed of Xiangyong, and finally the civilians of Jiangyin County who fled not long ago.

However, accidents have occurred from time to time, especially today, when the cavalry of the two sides was fighting, and another army came in from the south.

Duoduo's troops are in the north, and those who can come from the south are naturally Wang Guoxing's reinforcements.

In the middle of this team, a big "Qi" character military flag is particularly dazzling, it turned out to be the last 2,000 Qi family troops left on Chongming Island, under the leadership of Qi Zhifeng, came to support Jiangyin.

The Qing army naturally also found this group of people, although the number is not large, but it is an all-firearms army, at this time, if it is allowed to converge with the Ming army in front of them, the infantry army, firearms soldiers, plus heavy cavalry, far, medium, near, under the triple blow, the Qing army should not want to get any bargains.

"Mobilize 5,000 cavalry over and fight quickly!" The general of the Qing army spoke.

In the eyes of the Qing generals, at this time, the enemy's reinforcements were still on the march, and the firearms troops had not yet been fully deployed, and the only opportunity to defeat this support army was to take advantage of its unstable foothold.
