The sound of guns and spears into the flesh came and went, the war horses were forcibly manipulated by the cavalry, and the eyes were full of resistance in front of the infantry guns of the hollow phalanx, under the accumulation of corpses, the thin edge of the hollow phalanx infantry line was finally unable to stop the cavalry from charging one after another, and the cavalry of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army carried a large number of casualties, relying on the advantage of numbers, and smashed into 5 hollow phalanxes.

Then, the speed of the cavalry was forced to stop without incident, and immediately after, the platoon of guns from the infantry line that had not been broken through from other directions arrived as promised, and the Polish-Lithuanian combined cavalry, which had stopped at a halt, shot to the ground like wheat harvesting!

The Polish-Lithuanian cavalry, which rushed to the center of the hollow phalanx, was like a tall fixed target, easily harvested by the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army.

The Polish-Lithuanian cavalry, who thought that they would be able to slash and kill by breaking through the infantry line, felt a fist smashed into the cotton, and the worst thing was that this hollow cotton was surrounded by sharp thorns!

The cavalrymen who rushed into the hollow phalanx with a lot of casualties were slaughtered by the elite musketeers of the Taiping army on the periphery in the open field, not to mention the destruction of the infantry hollow phalanx, and they basically couldn't escape after entering......

"Circular defensive vehicle formation...... Marshal Jan Skzhetusky saw the hollow phalanx of the Taiping infantry, and a term suddenly popped into his mind.

The tactics of this hollow phalanx are very similar to the circular defensive vehicle formations built by connecting horse-drawn carriages when the transport convoys were attacked in the field after the European countries entered the gunpowder age, except that the sturdy hull was replaced by the infantry's spears and bayonets, and the musketeers around made the firepower of this defensive formation increase exponentially, forming a crossfire!

"The commander who invented this hollow phalanx was definitely a military genius, and he almost set a milestone in the world of musketeers independently restraining cavalry!"

Marshal Jan Skzhetusky couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity, no matter how good the tactics are, they also need strength to measure, these Taiping musketeers are very capable of fighting, but their number is too small, more than 5,000 cavalry is enough to consume them even if it is a little bit of consumption......

As soon as Marshal Jan Skrzetuski thought of this, he couldn't help but reveal a look of fear in the depths of his eyes, because the two remaining infantry regiments of the Taiping Army had already moved quickly towards the battlefield, surrounding the Polish-Lithuanian cavalry that was fighting against the hollow phalanx from the left and right sides of the battlefield.

It may seem ridiculous to besiege the cavalry with infantry, but Marshal Jan Skrzetusky, who had already seen the power of the infantry hollow phalanx, did not find the Taiping army's approach stupid.

With the military quality of the musketeers of the Taiping Army, the transformation of the hollow phalanx can be completed in the shortest possible time, and the cavalry will be faced with the 'hedgehog' covered with muzzles one by one.

If the remaining two infantry regiments of the Taiping Army rush up, the dilemma faced by the Second Infantry Regiment of the Taiping Army will be lifted in an instant, and then the three major infantry regiments of the Taiping Army will attack the first line of defense to disperse the morale that is seriously damaged.

Marshal Jan Skrzetuski, who had already seen the combat effectiveness of the musketeers of the Taiping Army headquarters, could have imagined with his ass that without the containment of the cavalry, even if the elite infantry of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army in the second line of defense pulled up, they would definitely be defeated!

Marshal Jan Skzhetusky saw with his own eyes how the soldiers of the First Regiment of the Taiping Army fought to the last man!

Marshal Jan Skzhetusky, dressed under the banner of the Taiping Army, could tell at a glance that the remaining three infantry regiments of the Taiping Army were all the same troops as the Taiping Infantry Regiment that had fought to the last man.

"Damn, where did Hong Tiancheng find so many soldiers who are not afraid of death!"

Marshal Jan Skrzetuski complained and complained, but he was unwilling to let go of the opportunity to completely annihilate an infantry regiment of the Taiping Army, the loss of more than 5,000 Polish-Lithuanian cavalry was of course heavy, but the number of only more than 2,000 people in total The Second Infantry Regiment of the Taiping Army has been fighting for a long time, both in terms of numbers and physical exertion.

Having lost the synergistic advantage of the hollow phalanx, the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter in front of the Polish hussars, regardless of whether they had courage or not......

Therefore, Marshal Jan Skrzetusky had to buy time for his cavalry to completely destroy the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Taiping Army, which would not retreat, so the last two cavalry teams were sent by Marshal Jan Skrzetusky and stopped in front of the 3rd and 4th Infantry Regiments of the Taiping Army respectively.

At this time, there were only 300 heavy cavalry left in the Taiping army's main formation, which was harmless in the eyes of Marshal Jan Skzhetusky, who was confident that he would have enough time to hold off the two infantry regiments of the Taiping army with the elite of two cavalry teams.

It was much easier to intercept than to attack, and the Polish-Lithuanian cavalry, which had a large number of firearms, did not even need to make direct contact with the Taiping infantry, and it was enough to harass them from a long distance with firearms and mobility advantages.

Unfortunately, Marshal Jan Krzetusky misjudged the 'combat courage' of his cavalry.

They were not horse thieves, Cossacks, Tatar marauders without a lower limit of discipline, they were military aristocratic knights and subordinate cavalrymen who regarded glory as their life, and it was naturally not a problem for them to fight head-on, but it was difficult to have a harassment like the Mongol rangers......

The two Polish-Lithuanian cavalry units that received the order did not pay any attention to the words of interception and harassment in Marshal Jan Skzhetuski's command, and when they encountered the two infantry regiments of the Taiping Army, they directly 'scolded' them in the way they understood to intercept!

Not surprisingly, the two cavalry teams were completely lost in the hollow phalanx that the 3rd and 4th Infantry Regiments of the Taiping Army quickly retracted, and after entering the hollow phalanx firing circle, the knights of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army even escaped from the range of muskets as a luxury, because they found that there were deadly lead bullets fired from almost all directions!

It's just that the destruction of the two cavalry corps has finally completed their set task - delaying time, it will take a lot of time to eliminate the two Polish-Lithuanian cavalry teams, one cavalry team has nearly a thousand horses, and the entire Polish-Lithuanian coalition army has formed 10 cavalry teams.

After the intercepted two cavalry teams were surrounded and killed by the Taiping army, the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Taiping Army also fought to the last man after killing about 3,000 cavalry of the Polish-Lithuanian army.

All of a sudden, the roaring and noisy fighting on the battlefield disappeared, the infantry regiment of the Taiping Army could not catch up with the cavalry team evacuated by the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army in any case, and the Polish cannon fodder on the first line of defense had already been withdrawn.

The only difference is the weapons and corpses scattered all over the battlefield!
