In the melee on the first front, the soldiers of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army were much more than the first corps of the Taiping Army, and under the trampling of nearly 1,000 iron cavalry of the First Cavalry Corps, the military flag of the Taiping Army was instantly submerged.

The 10 cavalry corps, which were improvised by Marshal Jan Skzhetusky, belonged to a mixed force of ordinary cavalry, dragoons, light cavalry, hussars, hussar knights, etc.

It can be roughly divided into light cavalry and heavy huscar, the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is a country of cavalry, the equipment of the cavalry is naturally much stronger than the infantry, almost every cavalry has a flintlock cavalry with a carbine or a short and light flintlock handcuff, and the Polish hussars are at least two muskets, all fired by flint.

Therefore, the tactics of the Polish cavalry at this time were similar to those of the Guanning Iron Cavalry in the late Ming Dynasty of the same era, and in the charge, they first used the firearms in their hands to shoot waves of bullets, and then brandished sabers and cavalry guns and other cold weapons to crash in, and the equipment rate of bows and crossbows was very low.

After all, the difficulty of training archers is much higher than that of training musketeers, whether it is Poles or Lithuanians, they are not nomads, and do not pay attention to cultivating children's equestrian skills from an early age, so if you want to quickly form a cavalry unit, you can only be equipped with a large number of firearms to make up for the long-range projection ability.

In the 17th century, when heavy armor was rampant, the cavalry units of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania were equipped with this kind of firearms, and the battlefield utility was still very good.

When the 1st Cavalry of the Polish-Lithuanian Allied Army submerged the 1st Infantry Corps of the Taiping Army, which had been waiting for a long time, the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Taiping Army, which had been waiting for a long time, quickly approached and fired a row of guns at the 1st Cavalry of the Polish-Lithuanian Allied Army, which was surging and rushing!

The second infantry regiment of the Taiping Army, which stood in six horizontal rows, adopted a rotational firing tactic, the first row of volleys turned around and walked backwards from the gap between the soldiers to the rear, and the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army in the second row took the first three steps to raise their muskets and continued to fire volleys, and then copied the practice of the first row of soldiers to go back to get out of sight.

In this way, under the rigid queue of elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, the entire unit steadily fired round after round of volleys, outputting continuous and stable firepower.

If necessary, the Second Infantry Regiment of the Taiping Army will also carry out forward forward shooting under the command of the officer, that is, after the first row of soldiers has completed the salvo, they will stand on the spot and load ammunition, and the second row of soldiers will take ten steps forward and stand up and fire another salvo, and so on, so as to ensure the continuity of fire and continue to approach the enemy's position.

The only weakness is that soldiers will waste a lot of time under a series of action commands such as forward, standing, raising guns, aiming, etc., resulting in a decrease in the frequency of firing of platoon guns.

The interception of the Ottoman armed squires and the Zasak cavalry allowed the Second Infantry Regiment of the Taiping Army to give full play to its firepower advantage to kill the cavalry of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army.

The dogmatic shooting tactics of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Taiping Army greatly shocked the great noble generals in the rear of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army, and it was the first time they had seen such a regular army that could perform rotational shooting!

"Oh my God! Are the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom all puppets without seven emotions and six desires? How did they do that! ”

Marshal Jan Skrzetusky took a deep breath and suppressed the negative emotions that rose in his heart, soldiers and officers can be afraid and afraid, but he can't show a depressed look, the people around him all look at Marshal Jan Skrzetusky, any expression of the commander of the first army will affect the whole army, and the commander is the backbone of the whole army!

If even the Supreme Commander feels that the battle cannot be won, how much faith can the people below have to continue fighting?

Under a series of orders, Marshal Jan Skzhetuski sent six cavalry teams at once, and at once bet on more than half of the elite of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army!

At the same time, the elite infantry of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army in the second line of defense also began to move forward slowly, and Marshal Jan Skzhetuski had already seen the combat intention of the Taiping army - to directly pull the battle to a climax with a thunderous advantage, and then crush the morale of the main force of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army in one fell swoop.

An army that has lost the courage to fight, no matter how many men remain, will never be able to achieve victory!

Rather than being controlled by the Taiping army in the rhythm of the battlefield, it is better to disrupt the battle in a hard-fought way, and Marshal Jan Skzhetuski has the advantage in his hand, and he is not afraid of elite duels.

Six cavalry teams with a total of more than 5,000 horses, they were definitely a formidable force on the battlefield, and as soon as they appeared, they completely annihilated the Ottoman armed attendants and Zasak cavalry who had intercepted the 2nd Cavalry Corps, without even a single blister......

Wherever the Polish-Lithuanian cavalry passed, all that was left was a piece of tattered weapons and armor and mutilated corpses.

Fortunately, the death of the Ottoman armed attendants and the Zasak cavalry bought a short reaction time for the Taiping Second Infantry Regiment, and Wu Fa, the commander of the Taiping Second Infantry Regiment, immediately gave the order to set up a hollow phalanx.

The elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, who had long been trained to deal with the impact of cavalry, quickly gathered and formed 5 large hollow phalanxes with battalions as units, and the elite musketeers of the outermost Taiping Army used inserted bayonets to push into the flintlock pistols, forming a spear on the ground and erecting a forest of guns, while the musketeers in the back row lined up in the wrong firing queue, and the five hollow squares alternately covered each other to form an irregular polygon.

As for the first corps of the Taiping Army, no one cared about it at this time, they had long been drowned in the sea of people by the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army......

"Huh? What kind of formation is this formation of the Taiping Army? Why did they list such a hollow phalanx of infantry without depth? ”

Marshal Jan Krzetusky couldn't help but have doubts in his mind after seeing the change of formation of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Taiping Army.

However, the next moment Marshal Jan Krzetusky understood the power of this hollow phalanx!

The elite cavalry of more than 5,000 Polish-Lithuanian troops faced the hollow infantry phalanx with no dead ends on all sides, and they fell into a state of confusion for a while, because they found that no matter how much the cavalry used their mobile advantages, they could not find the defects of this infantry phalanx.

Advance in either direction, and they will face musket fire from all directions!

This feeling was simply terrible for the cavalry of the combined Polish-Lithuanian army!

However, the cavalry of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army was also a veteran of the battlefield, and after finding that it was impossible to find a gap, they simply rushed directly towards the infantry gunfire.
