"Captain Li, the Tatar cavalry on the opposite side has moved." The sentry beside Li Kaifu warned.
Since the Battle of Guangzhou, Li Kaifu was captured again by the bandit suppressing army. Since Yang Yingju had already left, there was no one to bail him out after he was captured this time. Later, Zhang Rui "heard" that Li Kaifu was still in prison, so he personally went to let him go.
When Kaifu Li left, Zhang Rui patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "It is said that forceful melons are not sweet. The bandit suppression army only pays attention to voluntariness and never forces people to join. If one day you figure it out, you are willing to do it for yourself Come to me at any time when you are fighting for the rise of your nation.”
a month later
Maybe it’s because I’m grateful for Zhang Rui’s “uprightness” and “moral kindness”, or maybe I’m witnessing the changes in the lives of people around me, or it’s more likely because I’m inspired by the mission of rising the nation. Li Kaifu joined the bandit suppression army and became the leader of the brave cavalry regiment in the bandit suppression army.
"Okay, got it." Li Kaifu replied, then turned around and said to the two battalion commanders next to him:
"Captain Zhang and Commander Liu, let the brothers mount their horses and get ready for battle. Brother Six is watching us over there. If they can't even defeat the useless Manchu and Qing cavalry, he will ask them to attack the infantry brothers who are fighting bloody battles." If we don't, then we really have no shame in staying in the bandit suppression army."
"Yes... Captain Li, don't worry, unless we die, there is absolutely no chance that such a thing will happen." The two said categorically to Li Kaifu, and their tone did not allow any doubt.
Following Li Kaifu's order, the cavalry regiments of the bandit suppressing army immediately opened up and formed three rows of cavalry troops walking neatly, marching side by side like a wall.
Zhang Rui doesn't know much about riding training. After all, his riding skills are only at a level where he can barely ride on a horse without falling off. Although Zhang Rui is not good at riding, there is a passage about cavalry training that he is very familiar with.
"Two Mamluk soldiers can definitely defeat three French soldiers. One hundred French soldiers are evenly matched with one hundred Mamluk soldiers. Three hundred French soldiers can defeat three hundred Mamluk soldiers. A thousand French soldiers can always defeat a thousand Mamluk soldiers."
Napoleon, who is known as the God of War, has a reason for writing such words, and the cavalry training of later generations is also based on this training. Therefore, Zhang Rui had no reason to let the cavalry fight on their own.
Regarding Zhang Rui's training methods, Kaifu Li initially had doubts, but as the results of the drills continued to prove, Kaifu Li had to admire the training methods proposed by Zhang Rui.
"General He, this battle is not going to be easy." Looking at the cavalry advancing like a wall to suppress the bandits, Albu Rawaza, the commander of the Eight Banners Forbidden Army cavalry, leaned over beside Atamu He Yan and said.
"Haha...Lawaza. We have more than 3,000 cavalry here. Could it be that you are scared?" Atamu He extended his hand and patted the neck of the horse that was sitting down, then turned his head and looked at Albu. Ciwaza asked in a bad tone.
Qianlong originally transferred 5,000 Eight Banners cavalry forbidden troops to Fu Heng. However, since the Zhongyong Army led by Zhang Zhishan cut into Jiangxi from Guangdong, Fu Heng was forced to mobilize 3,000 cavalry forbidden troops to go south to join the battle.
Now the three thousand cavalry mentioned by Atamu He Yan are actually composed of two thousand Eight Banners Forbidden Army and one thousand green camp riders who came from various places.
The cavalry on both sides were moving forward slowly with their horses running. As the distance got closer, Atamu Heyan pointed his sword forward and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, defeat the rebels and everyone will receive the reward." . Defeat the rebels, you can take whatever money and food you want, and you can play with women as you like. Come with me to grab money, food, and women...kill..."
"Kill..."
The cavalrymen behind Atamu Heyan raised their sabers and shouted in unison with him. Then they all began to tighten their reins and began to raise their horses to speed up.

The position of the Cavalry Regiment of the Suppression Army
"Brothers, tell me what's in front of you!" Kaifu Lee asked loudly.
"A bunch of pigs..."
Under the guidance of some well-rehearsed soldiers, the formation soon sang in unison.
"Tell me, what's in front of you!" Kaifu Li shouted again.
"A pack of dogs..."
"Tell me what's ahead!"
"A bunch of dead people..."
"Okay, we are heroes in life, and heroes in death. The brothers of Zhongyi Temple are watching us. I have no thieves, follow me to kill the enemy...kill..."
Following Li Kaifu's words, there was another shocking and thorough cry of killing. The cavalry regiment of the Suppression Army also picked up their horses and moved forward quickly, maintaining a wall-like formation.
Since the number of the bandit-suppressing army was twice that of the Qing army, the bandit-suppressing army had to attack each other. Once they failed to penetrate each other, they would be in danger of being surrounded. This is not conducive to the optimal performance of the formation.
"Kill..."
People on both sides were shouting for hedging.
Unlike the bandit suppressing army, which had its own comrades on both sides, the Qing army's cavalry was more scattered. Different from the uniform movements of the bandit suppressing army, many Qing cavalrymen even waved their sabers when they were about to make contact, preparing to show off their bravery.
"hiss…"
"suck…"
"puff…"
…
As soon as the two armies came into contact, there were various chaotic sounds of fighting. Broken arms and severed heads were flying everywhere on the battlefield, falling all over the ground, and horses without their owners were running around everywhere.
The bandit-suppressing army quickly cut into the Qing army's formation like a hot knife cutting through butter, and then quickly passed through.
After the two sides broke away from the battle, Atamu Heyan turned around to check and found out. In just a simple confrontation, the Qing army lost hundreds of cavalry, while the bandit-suppressing army lost only a few. Albu Sivaza, who had just been reminding him that this battle was not going to be easy, also lost an arm at this time and was following behind him with a lifeless face.
"Kill..."
The bandit-suppressing troops, who had turned back to their horses' heads, came shouting again.
If these Qing cavalry encountered those rebel armies in history, they would indeed have an absolute advantage. After all, they all started as training soldiers at the age of fourteen, and then moved to cavalry. You don't have to do anything during this period, just be responsible for practicing your martial arts.
With plenty of food and good training, how could those farmers who rarely see horses be their opponents? Even those who have been fighting horse bandits for many years may not necessarily get benefits from them.
However, what they encountered was the bandit suppression army.
Yes, I can't beat you alone. But what about two, three or even more that follow?
In front of the wall of cavalry, what does it matter no matter how brave you are? So what if you have great riding skills?
You can kill the person in front of you, you can dodge the knife in front of you, but how can you dodge the many knives that follow?
Under a strictly disciplined lineup, no matter how powerful an individual is, he is just a joke.
However, the Qing army seems not to be able to understand this yet.
