In the era of cold weapons, cavalry is a well-deserved battlefield master, high speed, high mobility and strong impact power, when fighting in the field, without hoplites, it is simply impossible to resist the attack of cavalry. The Mongol cavalry is one of the greatest cavalry in the world, and their ancestors, with their powerful cavalry, marched all the way west to Europe. Even after being subjugated by the Manchus, the Mongol cavalry was still one of the most powerful arms in the world. However, no single class can dominate the battlefield forever. After the advent of firearms, the position of the cavalry was gradually challenged.

Although, because of the current musket itself, such as the slow rate of fire, it is not yet possible to completely end the cavalry. However, with the advancement of technology, the role of cavalry will be further reduced after the advent of automatic weapons. Especially after the advent of mechanized equipment, cavalry will gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

In the middle of the 18th century, cavalry was still one of the most powerful troops, which was also the confidence of Monk Greenqin. With 30,000 elite Mongolian cavalry in hand, he was confident that he could easily tear through the defense line of the Xinhua army, so that the prestige of the Mongolian cavalry would once again be sung in the land of China. However, the terrain of northern Guangdong limited the use of cavalry. The rugged mountain roads made it impossible for the cavalry to charge indulgently, and this would inevitably make the cavalry a target for the Xinhua army's firepower. However, Monk Greenqin believed that with the help of this relatively smooth official road, the Mongol cavalry was able to break through the fire blockade of the Xinhua army in a very short time, and then break into the defense line of the Xinhua army. Completely destroy the defense line of the Xinhua Army.

On the afternoon of January 9, the Qing army was once again ready to attack, but. This time, the attacking troops were no longer the Green Battalion soldiers who were used as artillery fire, but the elite Mongolian cavalry. Monk Greenqin was dressed in military uniform, his face was full of confidence, and he believed that in the next battle, the Mongolian cavalry would let these guys from the South Seas. Knowing the strength of the Mongol cavalry.

"Urmang, lead your troops, charge. Use the scimitars in your hands to cut off the heads of the Xinhua army, and let them know that the Mongolian cavalry is the master of the battlefield! Monk Grinqin said to a tall Mongolian man.

"Yes. Rajah. The last general will surely tear apart the defense line of the Xinhua Army and bring you the head of their commander. The Mongol general named Wu Ermang patted his chest and assured Monk Grinqin. The powerful Mongolian cavalry did not take the Xinhua army seriously.

"Lord Wang, the Mongolian cavalry is ready to attack." Monk Grinqin to Prince Hui Aixin Jueluo. Mianyu said.

"Hmmm! Tell the warriors that as long as they can break through the defense line of the Xinhua army, the king will be greatly rewarded. "Prince Hui loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu said with a smile. Former Mongol cavalry. Gallop across the continent. But now, the Mongols are the same as the Han Chinese. They have all become the slaves of the Manchurians. The Manchurian Iron Cavalry is the most powerful army in the world, which makes Prince Hui love Xinjueluo. Mianyu is very proud.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Monk Grinqin said. However, when he was about to give an order, Chen Jinshou, the commander of Zhili, suddenly spoke.

"Lord Wang, for the sake of insurance, the last general thinks that a part of the Green Battalion can be sent to follow the Mongolian cavalry, and after the Mongolian cavalry tears through the defense line of the Xinhua Army, the Green Battalion can take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle." Chen Jinshou said.

"No need, the Mongolian cavalry is enough to defeat the Xinhua army, and there is no need for the help of the green battalion." Monk Greenqin's head shook like a rattle, in his opinion, Chen Jinshou, the governor of Zhili, clearly didn't want to give the Mongolian cavalry all the credit, and just wanted to share the credit of the Mongolian cavalry. Therefore, he hurriedly refused. He didn't want Chen Jinshou to take advantage.

"Monk King, the last general is just to make sure that this attack can be effective." Chen Jinshou explained. However, his explanation, Seng Lingqin did not believe it at all. Prince Lian Hui Ai Xin Jueluo. Mianyu also thinks like that.

"Okay, this time the attack will be completed by the Mongol cavalry alone. If the attack did not work, General Chen's tactics were reused. "Prince Hui loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu said. In the eyes of Prince Hui, the Manchus were the highest, followed by the Mongols, and the Han were the lowest. Therefore, if the credit can be given to the Manchus or the Mongols, it will never be given to the Han Chinese.

"Don't worry, the Mongol cavalry will definitely be able to win." Monk Lingqin assured, then glanced at Chen Jinshou defiantly, and went to give the order. He believed that the attack of the Mongol cavalry would be successful, and it was absolutely impossible for Chen Jinshou to share the credit.

Seeing this situation, Chen Jinshou had to step aside and say nothing more.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, three thousand Mongol cavalry, already prepared, launched an assault from three kilometers away. Because the official road is narrow, it can only accommodate three or four horses at the same time, which makes the queue of the Mongolian cavalry drag on for a long time, and the front troops have already entered the range of the Xinhua army, and the cavalry behind has not yet set off. On the narrow official road, the attack of the Mongol cavalry was undoubtedly self-defeating.

"Boom!" Thousands of horses' hooves trampled on the road with a deafening sound like thunder.

"Cavalry? The Qing army actually dispatched cavalry? Could it be that they really want to find death? Zhang Chusheng, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army, was stunned. In the morning, the Xinhua army gave the Qing army a lesson, but they didn't expect that it would only take a while, and the Qing army forgot about it again. If it was in a wide plain, the dispatch of cavalry might put great pressure on the defense line of the Xinhua army. However, on the narrow official road, surrounded by high mountains, the cavalry could only charge on the official road, which undoubtedly gave the Xinhua army an excellent opportunity.

"Order everyone to be ready for battle, not to skimp on ammunition, and let those cavalrymen know that they are not invincible." Major Zhang Chusheng ordered loudly. Although his infantry battalion consisted of only 750 men in total, he believed that with the help of terrain and firepower, it was enough to withstand the charge of the Mongol cavalry. The powerful Mongolian cavalry will be crushed in front of the Xinhua army.

"Fire!" When the Mongol cavalry at the forefront was less than a thousand meters away from the position of the Xinhua Army, 12 mortars of the Xinhua Army opened fire, the enemy was menacing, and the artillery of the Xinhua Army began to fire at the maximum rate of fire.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "One after another, the shells fell in the ranks of the Mongol cavalry, and the shells exploded, turning the Mongol cavalry on their backs. Even the cavalry that charged at high speed still couldn't withstand the artillery fire of the Xinhua army.

In the explosion of the cannonball, the white horse was injured and fell to the ground, causing the Mongolian cavalry on the horse to fall to the ground as well. And after they fell, they blocked the way forward, and the follow-up Mongol cavalry couldn't stop it at all, and even the men and horses collided with it, and they tripped again.

For a time, the entire official road was filled with gunsmoke, and the Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy losses in the smoke. A large number of cavalry were killed and wounded by the artillery bombardment of the Xinhua army, and those ownerless war horses roared on the battlefield.

"Damn, the official road is too narrow, the cavalry in front is blocking the road, and the cavalry in the back can't rush through at all." Monk Grinqin is like an angry lion. The charge of the Mongol cavalry did not work as he expected, and he felt very ashamed.

Prince Hui Ai Xin Jueluo. Mianyu's face was also a little unpleasant, he originally had a lot of confidence in the Mongolian cavalry. However, it now seems that the attack of the Mongol cavalry was also unable to break through the defense line of the Xinhua Army, and several mistakes in decision-making had a very negative impact on his image, and if this continued, it would be very unfavorable for his future command and operation.

Hunan Admiral Changchun's face was expressionless, but the smiles that flashed in his eyes from time to time revealed his mood. In the morning, his troops were defeated by the Xinhua army, and Monk Lingqin taunted him several times, which made him hold back the fire in his belly. Now the Mongolian cavalry in front of the Xinhua army, don't they also have the slightest power to counterattack? This undoubtedly shows that the Mongol cavalry did not seem to be very good. He wanted to see what qualifications Monk Grinqin had to be arrogant in front of him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! A small number of Mongolian cavalry luckily escaped the artillery fire of the Xinhua army and continued to attack the positions of the Xinhua army. However, they were killed by rifle bullets from the Xinhua Army. After the official road was blocked by the corpses of the Mongolian cavalry and the corpses of the war horses, the Mongolian cavalry behind had to hold on to the reins, control the speed of the war horses, and carefully step over the corpses of their comrades, and this undoubtedly gave the artillery of the Xinhua Army an excellent opportunity, and the cavalry crowded together became a live target for the artillery of the Xinhua Army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The shells continued to explode on the official road, and each explosion of the shell would take the lives of the Mongol cavalry. The powerful cavalry that once galloped on the mainland still looked vulnerable in the face of the powerful firepower of the Xinhua Army.

"Bastard, how can you be like this?" The Mongol general Urmang, his eyes were red, and he was almost dripping blood. Seeing the cavalry under his command being slaughtered by the Xinhua Army continuously, his heart was like a knife.

"Lord Wang, let the Mongolian cavalry retreat, if it continues like this, they will only lose more and more." Admiral Chen Jinshou suggested. At this time, it was impossible to rely on the Mongol cavalry to break through the defense line of the Xinhua army. Then, there is no need to increase casualties.

"Nope! Every Mongol is a warrior, and dying on the battlefield is their ultimate destination! "Prince Hui loves Xin Jueluo. Before Mianyu could speak, Monk Lingqin spoke first. The Mongols don't need the mercy of others, not to mention, Monk Greenqin thinks that Chen Jinshou asked Prince Hui to order the Mongol cavalry to retreat, which is simply taking the opportunity to laugh at him, where does this make his face go? (To be continued......)
