Dong Yanghong and other generals of the Taiping Army saw Lin Chengting faint to death again, and they were all panicked when they lost their backbone, whether it was the Taiping Army or the Qing Army or the Yu Shengjun in this era, in fact, these armies could be regarded as the private armies of various generals.

Once the commander is killed or wounded, he will not be able to take charge, which will cause chaos in the whole army at the least, and even collapse the whole army at the worst.

Since Lin Chengting was injured yesterday, this Taiping army has fallen into a state of semi-chaos, but fortunately, Lin Chengting has not been in a coma all the time, but will wake up from time to time, and he can barely control the whole army.

However, now at the critical moment when Yu Shengjun came, Lin Chengting fainted again after failing to deploy tactics in detail, which made the generals of the Taiping Army fall into chaos again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the commander's order is to fight to the death with the Qing Demon, but how to fight it exactly?" Li Cong'an, the commander at the end, opened his mouth and said.

"How else can you fight, set up a formation and face them head-on!" A forty-year-old commander said with a brutal face.

"Head-to-head? Isn't Brother Song never seen them shoot a platoon? I wonder if we won't even be able to get a hundred paces closer once they start shooting? Immediately, the tall and mighty Chen Shishuai retorted.

"According to me, we should attract them head-on, and then attack their weak flanks in a roundabout, so that we have the slightest chance of winning!"

"Frontal attraction, flank detour? To put it nicely, how to attract and block their impact head-on? Brother Chen, can you? The Song commander snorted coldly: "In this situation, any spending and tactics are useless, the only thing we can do is to gather all the soldiers who can fight, and rely on the advantage of troops to press them in one fell swoop!" ”

"You...... The refuted Chen Shishuai's face was full of anger.

And Dong Yanghong on the side looked at these division commanders, I kept arguing, and sighed deeply in my heart, now Yu Shengjun is chasing after him, and many of his own soldiers have been defeated and fled, but now at this time, these people are still arguing endlessly, and they have not made any tactical arrangements.

Glancing at Lin Chengting's carriage, Dong Yanghong had already made a secret decision in his heart, these people are all wretched, maybe they will all die here today.

And he, Dong Yanghong, must not let the military marshal Lin Chengting fall into the hands of the demons, even if his cavalry team is exhausted, he must cover Lin Chengting to escape.

Immediately, he took two steps back, and at the same time said loudly: "You are discussing, I will take the headquarters to the back to stop the demons for a while, and I can't let them rush up directly!" ”

When the others saw Dong Yanghong say that he would take the initiative to lead the cavalry to meet the battle, they immediately nodded, and Chen Shishuai, who had the oldest qualifications, said: "That's fine, with Brother Dong's cavalry to fight, you will definitely be able to kill the sharp spirit of these demons!" ”

But he didn't see it, Dong Yanghong's face was full of despair when he turned away, only to see him riding his horse and walking two steps, and then walked in front of An Lushuai: "An Lushuai, now that the war is imminent, you immediately retreat north with the military marshal, no matter what, don't stop!" ”

"What about you, Master Dong?" The commander asked rhetorically.

"Me? I'm going to meet these demons for a while! After that, Dong Yanghong just rode away, he didn't say it, he didn't think that he would come back alive with these eight hundred horsemen this time!

Seeing Dong Yanghong with the cavalry rolling up a puff of smoke and dust and heading back, Brigade Marshal An looked at those four or five division commanders who were still arguing, and immediately gritted his teeth and ordered the foreign spear team to continue to retreat north.

This brigade commander is Lin Chengting's pro-army, equipped with a very rare Western-style foreign gun in the Taiping Army, and this brigade marshal is Lin Chengting's pro-army brigade commander, so he is naturally Lin Chengting's henchman.

Now that the battle situation is critical, and these division commanders are arguing endlessly, he naturally wants to give priority to protecting Lin Chengting's escape, in his heart, Lin Chengting's safety alone is more important than the safety of these tens of thousands of troops.

Dong Yanghong led eight hundred cavalry into battle, trying to intercept Yu Shengjun's pursuit, in the face of this situation, Lin Zhe looked around at Wang Luyun and Qian Niubei: "Since their cavalry still dares to take the initiative to attack, you can also greet them well, so that they can appreciate the style of our Yu Shengjun hussars!" ”

Wang Luyun and Qian Niubei immediately said in unison: "The ministry is ordered!" ”

Wang Luyun and Qian Niubei immediately rushed out from the central army position with their respective cavalry companies, and met Dong Yanghong's eight hundred cavalry on the left and right!

This time, among the cavalry of Yu Shengjun's attack, he did not carry a cavalry spear into battle, but rushed over with only a saber brandished.

Many cavalry battles in the past gave Yu Shengjun's cavalry a lot of practical experience, and in actual battles, cavalry generals such as Wang Luyun and Qian Niubei found it difficult to meet the combat needs of their own cavalry.

On the one hand, this cavalry charge has too high requirements for the formation, and it requires soldiers to train for a long time to do it, and in the past, when there were only dozens of cavalry, they could barely maintain a dense charge formation, but after the scale of hundreds of cavalry now, limited by the cavalry and the command level of the officers, it was difficult for Yu Shengjun's cavalry to maintain the dense formation of the pro-guard era when charging.

Therefore, in the actual combat of Yu Shengjun in the later period, the cavalry generally only carried rifles and sabers into battle, and shot with rifles from a long distance, and rushed up directly wielding the saber when they needed to charge.

However, compared with the typical light cavalry such as dragoons, hussars, and chasers in the West, the cavalry units of Yu Shengjun need to undertake more tasks because of their small number, so the training is also across the tactics of multiple light cavalry, mainly including rifle shooting, immediately slashing with sabers, etc., in general, today's Yu Shengjun cavalry can be regarded as a mixed type of light cavalry, and the light cavalry arms that are clearly distinguished during the Napoleonic Wars have been very different.

Looking at his more than 400 cavalry facing the enemy's 800 cavalry, Lin Zhe did not show any worried expression, Yu Shengjun's cavalry troops had proved with many actual battles that they had tactics and suzhì that far surpassed the cavalry of the Taiping Army.

The cavalry of the Taiping army on the opposite side was just a group of mounted infantry, and the tactics were still stuck hundreds of years ago, and Lin Zhe did not have the slightest doubt that his own cavalry could defeat them.

In a few minutes, the cavalry of the Taiping Army and the Yu Sheng Army combined with a total of more than 1,000 people was slowly approaching, and if you looked down from the sky, you would see countless war horses galloping, and then the two cavalry collided violently together, setting off bursts of waves.

"Kill, don't stop, rush over!" Wang Luyun waved the saber in his hand and shouted, as in any previous battle, he led his cavalry directly into the cavalry of the Taiping army on the opposite side.

In the next moment, the two cavalry collided together, and between the flint and lightning, Wang Luyun's saber slashed at a Taiping cavalry on the opposite side, and then driven by the huge impact of the war horse, the saber directly cut off the head of the Taiping army.

And after a breath, as soon as Wang Lu Yun withdrew his saber, he saw a flash of knife light in front of him, and he subconsciously turned his body to the left, which was able to dodge the knife just now.

At the same time, with a backhand swing of the saber in his hand, he aimed the saber at the third enemy cavalry he encountered in front of him, and as for the second enemy cavalry who had just passed, the saber of the other Yu Shengjun cavalry who followed him had already slashed into his chest!

If you pull your eyes away from Wang Luyun and observe the entire battlefield, you will see that more than 1,000 cavalry on both sides have collided together, and it is the most violent frontal impact.

But if you look more closely, you will find that the two cavalry companies of Yu Shengjun rushed into the cavalry phalanx of the Taiping Army from the left and right, with a certain angle, of course, the cavalry of the Taiping Army also divided into two roads, facing the two cavalry companies of Yu Shengjun respectively.

However, at this time, the loose charging formation of the Taiping cavalry once again exposed their fatal flaws, and in the face of the dense formation of Yu Shengjun's horses, the number of Taiping cavalry per unit area was often attacked by two to three Yu Shengjun cavalry.

Although the cavalry of the Taiping Army also tried to gather a denser formation, but the dense formation is really not so easy to practice, and the cavalry of Yu Shengjun practiced the dense formation every day, which can only be said to be a rough practice, at least for now, let them use the dense formation to launch a cavalry charge.

And it is impossible for these cavalrymen of the Taiping Army to sharpen their guns and make any dense formations.

The difference in the formation of the two sides also led to the fact that although the cavalry of the Taiping Army surpassed the cavalry of the Yu Sheng Army in terms of total strength, in the actual battle between the cavalry of the two sides, the cavalry of the Taiping Army was at a disadvantage.

Although the impact of the cavalry on both sides was fierce, it did not last long, and soon Wang Luyun rushed out of the cavalry policy of the Taiping army with blood on his face, and at this time the cavalry of the second cavalry company still following him was only more than 170 people, and at least 30 horses fell off their horses in the short charge just now.

At this time, Wang Luyun didn't care about these at all, he held his saber high, and shouted in his mouth: "Turn, fast, fast, the whole team!" ”

On the other side of the battlefield, Qian Niu Beigang, who also rushed out with the cavalry, breathed a sigh of relief, the charge just now was simply dancing with death, and if he was not careful, he would be cut off under the horse, and when he saw Wang Luyun holding his saber high and turning and the whole team, he couldn't help but curse: "This king is crazy!" ”

As soon as he saw the actions of the Second Cavalry Company, he knew that this Wang Lu Yun was going to charge again, and it was very dangerous to charge repeatedly in a short period of time, and ordinary cavalry generals would not do this.

But this Wang Lu Yun, when he led only fifty cavalry of the personal guard, he did three charges and eight hundred enemy cavalry in the army formation, and today the number of enemy troops is not much, but he has two cavalry companies on his side, why can't he rush again?

Seeing Wang Luyun and the second cavalry company once again turning into a torrent and rushing towards the cavalry of the Taiping Army, Qian Niubei also gritted his teeth: "The whole team, kill me!" ”
