One hundred steps!

The cavalry began to gallop from a jog to a gradual acceleration, and when they were only a hundred paces away from the enemy.

Classical cavalry does not use this set of tactics.

This is true both the Eight Banners and the later Three Walls Tactics of the Peasant Army.

The reason is also very simple.

The leg strength of an ordinary war horse can only go so far.

Therefore, the armored cavalry pieced together by the peasant army, the clearer it was to see the Liaodong Army, the happier they were.

It means that the charging distance is decreasing.

"Order, get on the horse, and attack with a full moon scimitar!"

Li Guoying observed everything through the telescope, and when he estimated that he could attack, he gave the order to march.

The grassroots generals saw the flag and began to command.

The soldiers mounted their horses one after another.

Accompanied by the commanders' orders, there is also the sound of small drums.

This is a reminder to the soldiers with the sound of drums, what to do.

"Draw your sword!"

The commander gave the order and swished...... The sound of drawing the knife out of the sheath is endless.

"Password, Full Moon Scimitar. Kill! ”

"Kill."

More than 1,600 soldiers of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment quickly marched to both sides to get out of the way.

When the cavalry of the peasant army saw this, they were a little confused.

Then, they saw a group of Liaodong troops with firearms in their hands appear.

These people with guns were the auxiliary soldiers of the Liaodong Army.

It was a flintlock pistol.

They stood behind the horses and the trenches, some crouching, some standing.

Seeing the dense two rows of firearms, the peasant army cavalry was a little unsure of what to do.

Fatally, they were already only a hundred paces away from the charge.

I can't hold back my strength.

"Rush over!"

Zhang Dingguo, who commanded the cavalry, shouted with all his might.

The flags of each team waved, and the cavalry of the peasant army had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush over.

As soon as they galloped on their horses, they heard a burst of gunfire.

Then, the sound of someone being injured and falling from a horse was heard.

Wave after wave.

This is completely different from the Ming army firearms.

It felt like every little bit of time, bullets were flying.

The cavalry was so dense that it was almost a live target for the opposing firearms.

Uncomfortable......!

This is Zhang Dingguo's biggest feeling.

He thought that as long as he was lucky, he would be fine with rushing through the rejection horses and the trenches.

And then......

Thick smoke filled the sky over the Liaodong Army.

Li Guoying held a telescope and looked at the battlefield elsewhere through the black smoke.

As far as the eye could see, he saw that his own cavalry had quickly entered the formation from the flanks, dividing the cavalry of the peasant army front and back like a full moon scimitar.

Further, with a wall of group charges, the peasant cavalry and the infantry following the cavalry were driven apart from the most elite cavalry charging in front.

Those who charged ahead, by the time they realized this, were already too late.

Once the hole is torn open, it is irretrievable.

Beside Li Guoying, Sun Chuanting shook his head.

He didn't have any serious illness, but wanted to see the battlefield ahead.

I was embarrassed to disturb Li Guoying, so I borrowed the things in his hand to take a look.

I can only stand on my tiptoes and look east and west.

As a result, there was black smoke and figures in the black smoke as far as the eye could see.

"Master Sun, give."

Li Guoying handed him the binoculars.

Sun Chuanting hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "This is not good, you need to sit in command, and then give it to me when it is over." ”

"It's over, and the peasant army has no power to return to heaven." Li Guoying said.

Sun Chuanting was a little surprised, hurriedly took the binoculars, followed Li Guoying's appearance just now, and glanced at the battlefield.

Wow!

Even the faces of the people can be seen clearly.

Sun Chuanting blinked, and then continued to star.

He saw the cavalry of the Liaodong Army on the battlefield, and the soldiers were divided into two routes.

Along the way, he made a big turn, turned around and attacked the cavalry of the peasant army, which was divided and surrounded.

The other continued pursuit.

The cavalry of the peasant army was the opponent of the cavalry of the Liaodong Army, and the cavalry of the peasant army faced two or three sabers of the Liaodong Army at the same time with almost one saber.

Moreover, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army does not chop, only thorns and picks, and the amplitude is not large.

The cavalry of the peasant army was quite strong and held out for a while.

With the fall of a teenager, they dismounted and surrendered.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting returned the telescope to Li Guoying.

Li Guoying had already received the news from the signal corps that the peasant army had retreated to the northwest.

He glanced at the battlefield, "Order!" Whoever surrenders will not be killed. Do not go deep and return in time. ”

"Yes!" The flag bearer was about to issue a flag message.

But I heard Hong Chengchou say: "Slow! ”

Hong Chengchou walked out of the marching tent: "These thieves are anti-court in their bones, and they should be killed as an example." ”

Li Guoying is neither humble nor arrogant: "Governor Hong, since ancient times, it is ominous to kill prisoners. If they have already surrendered, why should they be slaughtered again? ”

"General Li, you may not know about the Carriage Gorge, these thieves killed the Fumin Officer and re-became a troublemaker."

Hong Chengchou said: "These people, if they don't kill, how will they serve the public in the future." ”

Sun Chuanting nodded, thinking it made sense.

Yang Sichang looked indifferent.

Anyway, his purpose has been achieved. This muddy water, it's best not to wade.

Li Guoying smiled and asked: "May I ask Governor Hong, did you stop the peasant army when you killed so many people in northern Shaanxi?" ”

"You...... This ......" Hong Chengchou was speechless.

Li Guoying said: "My Liaodong Army has rules and will never kill prisoners. Even if they want to be killed, they will be judged in public to reveal their sins.

If Governor Hong wants to kill someone, he can go to other Lu Ming Army. ”

"Aren't you afraid that they will bite you back?" Hong Chengchou frowned.

"If that were the case, they would have died by our sword." Li Guoying replied.

"Humph!" Hong Chengchou brushed his sleeves away.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was gone, Yang Sichang also had to leave: "You go back, I will bring wine and meat to visit you later." ”

Li Guoying hugged his fists.

Sun Chuanting didn't follow immediately: "What are you going to do with these captives?" ”

"I don't have to worry about it, someone else is in charge of this." Li Guoying said, "In addition to supervising the generals, the superintendent of the army is responsible for persuading the prisoners to surrender. ”

"Oh." Sun Chuanting was a little surprised.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

The rout of the peasant army was almost unstoppable.

After chasing the peasant army for a distance, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army chose to return.

A group of well-rested auxiliaries also began to clean up the battlefield.

In this battle, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army killed more than 3,000 enemies and captured more than 700 enemy troops at a single-digit cost.

According to the rules, in addition to the routine bereavement pension, a part of the captured battlefield will be distributed to the unfortunate soldiers who died in battle.

Auxiliaries also have one.

Therefore, these auxiliaries were very active, rummaging through the objects on the peasant army.

Collect it and hand it over to the public, waiting for distribution.

Flipping and turning, it turned over to a teenager's body.

Looking at his thin body, but wearing thick armor, the auxiliary soldiers couldn't help but sigh:

"This baby is so pitiful."

In fact, the auxiliaries are not much older than him.

At this time, the boy screamed softly.

When the auxiliary soldier heard this, he hurriedly probed the young man's breath with his fingers, and then shouted to his companions:

"Come on the stretcher, this baby is still alive."
