Chapter 1092: The Power of a Professional Army
When the men and horses of the Wanjia army marched to a position about 100 zhang away from the Haihan camp on the west bank of the Jiahe River, they saw the riders on the opposite side gathered together, and then quickly formed a three-line formation in the front, middle and back, and rode slowly towards the direction they were heading.
Seeing this, Gan Qiang immediately ordered the advance to be stopped, and the infantry in front began to form a formation, ready to meet the cavalry attack that might move on the opposite side. Although these infantry were not so neatly equipped, they were all veterans who had been in battle, and they stopped at the moment, and their long weapons were lined up in front of them, with dense spear tips pointing obliquely ahead, and in the back row were dense knives and axes archers, ready to mend their swords at any time. This set of tactics is also to imitate the Ming army, although there is no special anti-horse spear and body shield in the formation, but as a civilian armed force, it is not easy for the infantry to be able to face the cavalry without chaos, and it is really impossible to pursue perfection.
It is precisely by relying on this set of infantry and horse coordination tactics that Gan Qiang has won Wanmeng's trust and reuse, and he has never been defeated against the enemy in the past. Of course, most of the opponents he encountered in the past were the same civilian recklessness as the Wanjia Army, and if he really encountered a regular army with comparable strength, it would definitely not be enough to rely on his copycat skills.
Gan Qiang didn't think that the opponent this time was stronger than the Ming army, and all he was thinking about at the moment was what kind of reward Wanmeng would get after brushing this record, and he didn't foresee the dangerous situation that was about to arise at the moment.
"It's a bit of a routine, but it's a pity that you met us!" Liu Xian also noticed the change in the opponent's formation on horseback. This is basically the only correct way for infantry to deal with cavalry in the field, and when the forces of both sides are equal, the steady infantry formation is not so easy to be defeated by cavalry, and the battle strategy of the opposing leader is also correct.
But the only problem is that the opponent encountered by the Wanjia army is the Haihan cavalry, because of the armed level of the Yue era, this army will rely more on hot weapons in combat, and its tactics are also formulated around the use of firearms and weapons, which is completely out of the understanding of ordinary people. The most important thing is that the Haihan cavalry has never carried out combat missions outside of Hainan Island before, and the outside world's knowledge of this unit is almost zero, so there is no targeted tactical arrangement at all.
After the distance between the two sides was further shortened, Gan Qiang finally saw that the opponent's cavalry was not holding a spear or a scimitar, but a strange-looking weapon that resembled a firebolt, and he was also a little puzzled at the moment. He had seen some of the Ming cavalry carrying birds, but that kind of weapon had to be set up after dismounting before it could be fired, and it was not suitable for use in sports warfare. If they dare to dismount their guns during the confrontation, then the cavalry on Gan Qiang's side will seize this opportunity to attack and take them by surprise, if the commander of the other side does not even understand this simple truth, then this cavalry has really become a fat meat sent to his mouth.
When Gan Qiang had not yet made a final judgment on the tactics of the Haihan cavalry, the opposite side had already begun to let the horses speed up their advance, from small steps to big strides, which was basically the situation when the cavalry charged. Gan Qiang didn't care about thinking about it anymore, and ordered loudly: "The infantry is steady, and the cavalry is ready to fight!"
