"Hey! Follow me! ‘

After Tai Ze received the order, he immediately waved the steel knife in his hand, and then turned his head with a hideous face, clamped his legs and urged the war horse under his crotch, and began to run slightly.

The 1,000 cavalrymen of the Zhenglan Banner who followed him also began to slowly walk out of the queue.

"Kill those enemies, we are invincible!"

At this moment, no one thinks how powerful the enemy they encountered.

In the hearts of these Houjin warriors who have developed strong self-confidence after years of fighting, they believe that they are already invincible in this land.

It is precisely for this reason that they are able to maintain such a strong will to fight in the face of an enemy who has twice the number of troops on their own.

Speaking of which, it is no wonder that Houjin was able to rise and eventually enter the Central Plains.

Although there are some complex factors in this, the foundation of the Houjin soldiers' ability to fight is also the key.

If they can't fight at all, then it won't be their turn to enter the Central Plains, right?

After so many years of fighting, when the Later Jin army fought against the Ming army, they all dealt with inferior forces.

Something like less to do more, they're used to it.

Therefore, in the face of more than 20,000 troops of the Song Empire, the soldiers of the Houjin and Blue Banners, who were only in their early 10,000s, were able to take the initiative to charge.

For them, such a battle is nothing remarkable at all.

Since he was able to defeat the 'powerful' Ming army, it was not a problem to deal with these troops who came out of nowhere in strange costumes.

Tai Ze launched a frontal charge with a thousand-man team under his command, while Gular, another one who had received an order from Ordo, led a thousand-man team under his command to make a detour and began to attack Jay Chou's left flank.

Cavalry vs. infantry, such a tactic can be described as decent.

In particular, this battlefield, where a great war is about to take place, is a vast plain.

So. There is nothing wrong with Ordo's approach.

The two fierce generals under his command were sent out of the army, while Ordo himself led more than 8,000 cavalry to press the rear formation.

The two teams of Taize and Gulal are actually used to test Jay Chou.

The main reason is to see Jay Chou's foundation, this kind of temptation is very common.

It is impossible for Ordo to put all his forces into it at the beginning and launch a decisive charge.

After all, he doesn't know much about Jay Chou.

If the opponent was the Ming army, then the situation would be different.

If Ordos had fought against the Ming army, he would have committed all his forces at the beginning of the war.

The reason is simple, because he knows too well the erosion and weakness of the Ming army.

So, there's nothing to worry about doing so.

But here's the thing. The enemies he has to face now are obviously different from the Ming army.

The Ming army would use the so-called formations in battle, which were different from those used by the enemy they were currently facing.

The enemy on the opposite side was lined up in five columns, and the line was very thin.

In a position like this, you are like a joke in Ordo's eyes.

But the more this happens, the more suspicious Ordo feels.

You must know that all the cavalry under his command are cavalry.

As long as the enemy's general is not an idiot, then he will definitely know the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

If the army wants to deal with cavalry, then the formation must be very thick, and it cannot be such a thin and ridiculous military formation.

But when things go wrong, there will be demons.

In the spirit of careful, there is no big mistake. Ordo then sent two strong generals to let them try each other.

Once Jay Chou's side is a showman, Ordo will order the whole army to attack.

Ordo was not worried about anything at all, in his opinion Taize and Gular were cavalrymen. If the enemy is a hard bone, they can withdraw in time.

It's just that what Ordo didn't expect was that the enemy who was about to fight him was not an ordinary enemy.

"First Brigade! The second brigade advances! Five rounds ready to shoot! Put! “

Taize led a thousand cavalry and rushed over with great momentum. It's about a mile away, but it's not that far at all.

Since they were cavalry, in a very short time. It was basically within the range of the Imperial Army's muskets.

Bang!

Crackle!

With the first gunshot, followed by bursts of gunfire like firecrackers, began to echo densely under the sky.

Wow!

One of the soldiers with the Blue Banner who rushed to the front was hit in the head by a buckshot shot, and he only had time to scream and fall off his horse.

When he fell off the warhorse, he was trampled into flesh by the warhorse behind him.

War is brutal.

Although the cavalry is strong, it will be very dangerous if the knight falls off his horse.

Especially when a large number of cavalry charge together, if the cavalry at the head falls from his horse, the end will be very tragic.

Because the cavalry behind you can't stop their horses because you fall from your horse, they will continue to charge forward. After all, if the charge of the large army stopped, there would be no power and lethality of the cavalry charge.

Therefore, for the companions who fell from the horse, everyone can only say sorry.

Even if you are trampled to death, it can only be said that you are unlucky.

Crackle!

In front of them, puffs of cyan smoke rose from the strangely dressed enemies.

As the cold wind blew, the cavalry of the Blue Banner in the charge could smell the pungent smell of gunsmoke.

"It's a firebolt!"

I don't know who shouted, and then the charging blue flag cavalry all bent down and hid on the back of their horses to reduce the range of their lead shots.

After all, they have fought countless battles with the Ming army, so the cavalry of the Eight Banners are no strangers to the weapon of firearms.

Even, they have summed up a set of tactics and dodging techniques.

For example, if the body is close to the warhorse, or it is suitable to hide under the belly of the warhorse, it is very effective to deal with the firecracker.

However, to their surprise this time, even if they hid, the enemy could still inflict damage on them.

The reason is simple, the knight went into hiding. Then the war horse can't hide.

If you can't hit someone, then I'll hit your horse.

After there are no horses, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners cavalry will be reduced by half immediately.

Moreover, the Imperial Army's five-round burst can be infinitely looped until the lead bullet is gone. In this process, the charging cavalry will face the baptism of bullets.

Compared with the Ming army's muskets, the Song Empire's muskets had a longer range, a faster rate of fire, and much greater lethality.

What's more. Because of the appearance of the linear queue, there are many more bullets in the queue.

Normally, the Later Jin army fought against the Ming army and would not have encountered so many bullets at all.

As long as they can dodge a round of shooting, they can basically rush to the front of the Ming army and start a fight.

Moreover, even in a team of 5,000 people, there were only a few dozen of them in the Ming army.

Dozens of firecrackers. It's a big deal, it's a few dozen buckshot shots.

Besides, the accuracy of these guns is very low, and it is not bad that three or four of the dozens of buckshot bullets can hit the enemy.

So, the veterans of the Houjin who know the firecracker. That's not at all afraid to face the firecracker.

On the other hand, the army of the Song Empire was different.

Each of the soldiers under Jay Chou's command has a fine musket.

He sent out several brigades to meet the enemy head-on, one with a thousand soldiers.

Five brigades took turns firing, that is to say the Taize in the charge. To face a thousand rounds of lead bullets.

This number far exceeded the number of lead bullets fired by the Ming army's musketeers.

What's more, linear queues. Maximized the shooting lethality of muskets.

As long as you attack on the opposite side of me, then there is no negotiation at all to line up and shoot.

So, Taize and his cavalry are out of luck.

The screams, the cries for help from the falling horses, and the broken bones made by the horse's hooves stepping on the human body constantly resounded in the charging ranks, and people couldn't help but feel chills in their ears.

"Rush! Rush! It's okay to rush over! ”

Tai Ze also had a bitter taste in his mouth when faced with such a situation, but in this situation, he knew that there was no way back for himself.

If the charging team is turned, the enemy can easily shoot the flank of the team with their firearms, inflicting more damage on themselves.

And after turning, the team is not going to retreat.

On the way back, the enemy can still kill the soldiers in the rear of his own team.

So, there's only one way to solve the problem at the moment, and that's to rush through.

I really can't understand how these strangely dressed armies can have such powerful muskets.

When I was fighting with the Ming army, I didn't see the Ming army's firearms, and the lead bullets shot out seemed to be raining.

If the Ming army's firearms are also so powerful, then Houjin ...... For a moment, many inexplicable thoughts flashed through the mind of Taize who was lying on horseback.

After all, it was a cavalry charge, so compared to an infantry charge, the speed was still very fast.

Seeing the team receiving the enemy's position little by little, Tai Ze's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Only then did he turn his head to look left and right.

It didn't matter, but he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

A neat force of 1,000 cavalry, and now he found that there were only a few hundred left.

Looking back, hundreds of people had fallen scattered on the way to the charge.

OMG!

But before he could think about it, a puff of dust and smoke was set up in front of them on the way to charge, followed by a loud and deafening sound that made people faint.

Rumble!

"Fire! The muzzle is fine-tuned, and the target line is two hundred yards ahead! ”

It turned out that this was the artillery in the center of Jay Chou's army that began to exert its might.

The explosion fired a volley of debris, sending a group of cavalry in front of Taize flying.

The war horse was also frightened, and raised its front hooves. Vast! He screamed.

Just as Tai Ze wanted to figure out what the enemy had used to create such a large formation, he only felt his body shake, and then floated lightly......

"Humph! What the hell, this little soldier and horse also came to charge into battle, and he looked down on people too much. ”

Seeing that the cavalry that was still some distance away from his front was constantly overturned by artillery, Jay Chou pursed his lips and said secretly in his heart.

"General, the enemy on the flanks is coming!"

Don't give Jay Chou too long time to complain, and the adjutant's words diverted his attention to the left. (To be continued......)
