*************************************************** *************
The Ming Army cavalry has completed the upgrade of muskets and is not a cold weapon cavalry in the traditional sense. Although it is also equipped with long guns, in most cases, it is not its first choice combat weapon.
Fifty thousand of the 120,000 cavalry were equipped with revolvers, and the rest also had one long and short musket, and each of them also carried ten grenades.
Among them, there are 40,000 cavalry equipped with revolvers, and their mounts are hybrid war horses with higher sprinting capabilities than lemon horses. They are the biggest reliance of a certain new emperor to heavily injure the braided cavalry.
A certain new emperor also did not arrange a general commander for the cavalry group, because no general could make so many cavalry move in unison.
Since the cavalry has to fight around the infantry formation and the distance between the two sides is very close, after issuing the combat order, a certain new emperor can continue to order them by firing signal flares.
In fact, it is quite good for a general at the general level to command the three to five thousand cavalry under his command. Even a direct line general like Zu Kuan can only make a rough idea through repeated training of his subordinates.
The rest relies on the instinctive reactions produced by soldiers' daily training and the improvised responses of officers at all levels on the battlefield.
Three of the five cavalry brigades of the East Palace Guards accompanied the expedition, and the remaining two brigades were mobile troops left by a certain new emperor to Zhou Yuji to defend the Jifu area.
In addition to Zu Kuan's 1st Cavalry Brigade, Baiyong Town's 12th Cavalry Brigade, and Zhen Qijie's 13th Cavalry Brigade, there are also Cao Bianjiao's, Wang Tingchen's, Mengruhu, Hudawei, Gaojie, Liu Guangzuo's, Liu Guoneng's, Li Wanqing's and other troops deployed mixed-blood war horses.
But only the first five generals' troops are complete cavalry troops, and the rest are basically mixed brigades.
Both Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen were transferred from Shanhaiguan to the training camp in Beidu and received reorganization training.
Both units have become brigade-level pure cavalry combat units, with a total strength of 5,000 men. Their weapons, armor, and horses have all been updated.
In terms of morale and treatment, it has naturally been improved to a higher level, and a certain new emperor will not treat these two loyal generals badly.
If the emperor hadn't been lucky, he would have been turned into a sashimi by Cao Bianjiao who bravely broke into his camp...
According to the order of a certain new emperor, all cavalry, except for the personal soldiers of the general military officers of each department, must be gathered together to obey the command of a certain new emperor.
Now 120,000 cavalry formed a huge torrent of impact, violently colliding with the invading Qing army's more than 100,000 cavalry.
Before the two sides came into contact, the Qing cavalry galloped and fired arrows at their Ming counterparts.
The Ming army cavalry used the muskets in their hands to greet the prey in the distance, and when they got close to the target, they raised the spears in their hands.
Cavalry spears are made of alloy steel pipes. Unlike wooden spears, they are almost impossible to break during sprinting.
The three cavalry brigades of the East Palace Guards took the lead and served as the vanguard of the entire cavalry force.
In view of the characteristics of the braided heavy cavalry, a certain new emperor trained his direct line cavalry and adopted Western-style wall riding tactics.
Aren't you heavily armored and invulnerable?
Then I will use my strength to work miracles and kill them and maim them!
The specific method is very simple. Take advantage of the strong characteristics of the steel pipe spear and the fast sprint speed of the hybrid war horse, and use the bayonet method to forcefully knock the opponent off the war horse!
When I attack the cavalry of the dynasty, I have to speak with "strength" that the other party can understand!
Once a wall-mounted formation is formed and they fight side by side with their friends who live with them day and night, all the cavalry will have a sudden increase in confidence.
Holding a spear, aiming at the target, obeying the command of the superior, spurring the mount, coordinating with the companions on the left and right, and rushing to the opposite side.
In contrast, the Qing cavalry's offensive formation was much looser. Since they had to shoot their bows and fire arrows, they were basically unable to achieve the neatness of their counterparts on the opposite side.
"this……"
Seeing the Ming army's cavalry charging in such a regular formation, Azig couldn't help but think of the iron pagoda where the Jin army was invincible when they marched south.
In comparison, our own Tie Chaodu was somewhat inferior in terms of momentum.
But it doesn't matter, only after fighting with real swords and guns can the winner be determined.
When leading troops to fight, it is useless to rely solely on good-looking formations. On the battlefield, strength must speak for itself.
So what if Khalkha is a descendant of Genghis Khan?
Didn’t he finally surrender to the Qing Dynasty under the attack of the Qing Dynasty’s iron cavalry?
The demon boy had been hiding in defense before, leaving the Qing cavalry unable to attack.
Now the barbarians finally dare to come out in full force, and they are seeking their own death!
"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty! Come forward for me! Today is the day to raise the flag for promotion and wealth! Don't let a single barbarian cavalry go!"
Seeing the huge barbarian cavalry, instead of being afraid, Hauge became extremely excited.
This is his best opportunity to make a contribution. Several younger brothers are eager to take a chance on the throne.
If I don't work harder, I will really be insulated from the throne.
Unexpectedly, the devil boy also gave me a big gift. It was God's will!
Upon hearing Prince Heshuosu's order, the surrounding confidants and direct cavalrymen all screamed.
Although the eldest brother is usually strict with his subordinates, he is never stingy in terms of rewards.
In addition, the emperor is old, so the eldest brother may ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future.
If I follow my eldest brother to kill the barbarians, I will be able to have food and clothing from now on. That's why I have so many die-hard loyalists.
"Kill all the barbarians!"
"Enter the customs to grab money, food, and territory!"
Before the official confrontation, Qing army Tie Chaodu did not take the Ming army cavalry seriously.
The opponent is just a useless person. Once they confront each other, the Qing cavalry will kill them to the point of defeat.
Perhaps the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were inferior to the Dog Barbarians in terms of infantry combat, but when it came to horses, being "skilled with bows and horses" was not just a boast!
The opponent's muskets are a great threat, but the cavalry duel will ultimately involve close combat.
By then, the dog barbarians will no longer have the advantage of muskets, and they can be slaughtered by the Qing cavalry at will...
Tie Chaodu is also equipped with long guns, but they are all made of wood. When running at high speed, they are easy to break when hitting the target, but it is better than using a waist knife to chop them.
Seeing that the Ming cavalry were all carrying long spears, some of Tie Chaodu also pretended to pick up the long spears hanging on the sides of the saddles.
But when stabbing at high speed, the side effects of being out of formation are fatal.
The reason why the Ming army's cavalry entered the battlefield later was, firstly, to observe changes in the battle situation, and secondly, to regroup.
The two sides launched attacks in opposite directions, the horses galloping, the speed became faster and faster, and the distance continued to shorten.
Every minute and every second, many Qing cavalrymen were injured by bullets and even fell off their horses. In the end, the two torrents collided together.
"ah……"
Only at the moment when his horse was knocked down by the Ming army's steel pipe spear did Tie Chaodu realize the terrifying power of this tactic.
Each Ming army horse was equipped with a simple device specially used to mount a long gun.
This is not to reduce the burden on the cavalry and is used to transport long guns in peacetime.
It is a fixation device specially used for stabbing. Due to the installation of a return spring, it can also reduce a lot of the recoil generated during impact.
In order to stabilize the spear, the cavalry must clamp it with their arms to prevent the spear from being damaged or even injuring themselves due to the deviation of the direction of the attack on the prey.
This device, combined with wall-mounting tactics and steel pipe spears, is the method used by a certain new emperor to deal with braided heavy cavalry.
As the forwards of the two armies collided, in less than half a minute, almost four to five thousand Qing cavalry were pushed directly to the ground.
The three East Palace Guard Cavalry Brigades rushed deeper and deeper into the opponent's cluster, and gained more and more results, and they were all killed within an extreme time.
With the guy taking advantage of them, Zu Kuan and others' tactics were very simple. They were to rush straight over and inflict penetrating damage to the Dog Tatar cavalry group from head to toe!
Although the endurance of the mixed-blood war horses was still inferior to that of the Menggu horses, the advance speed was not very fast before, and the cavalry were reluctant to ride and spent most of their time on foot.
Therefore, the horsepower is well maintained at this time, and it is no problem to run more than ten miles in one breath. This can basically achieve the tactical goal.
With the three direct brigades of a certain new emperor serving as the vanguard in the front, the cavalry behind them would naturally be willing to fight this kind of smooth battle.
Under such circumstances, if you are still timid and greedy for life and death, then it is better to retire early and become a railway soldier, or simply go to Nanyang to fight the natives there.
Like the navy's armored ships riding the wind and waves, after a large-scale battle between the two sides, the Qing army's Tie Chaodu not only failed to stop or delay the Ming army's cavalry assault, but was instead driven two or three miles away from its own territory.
"Follow me! Don't look back!"
Zu Kuan continued to charge and ordered his men at the same time. At this time, chaos would occur if he turned his horse, which meant that all the previous efforts were wasted, and he could only run to the end in one breath.
Judging from the visual inspection, the Dog Tartars are very uncomfortable with this tactic.
This means that before it can figure out a countermeasure, there is still an opportunity for itself to take advantage of.
Every time you take a step forward, you may kill one more dog tartar!
If you run an extra mile, you may gain the life of an additional three to five thousand enemy knights!
In fact, there is no need for the generals to shout, the cavalry behind them will follow closely, otherwise they will be trampled to death by their companions behind.
"Damn you bastard!"
Faced with this unexpected situation, Daishan, who originally thought that the Qing Dynasty cavalry had a turning point, began to curse.
Gou Manzi used this despicable and shameless method to defeat Tie Chao, but he could not cause much harm to Gou Manzi at all.
If the fight continues like this, the nearly 100,000 Qing cavalry will not be able to hold out for even an hour.
In less than a cup of tea, no less than 10,000 troops were lost.
Daishan, who has been in battle for a long time, never thought that the Qing cavalry could not withstand the impact of the barbarian cavalry in a head-to-head encounter.
What should we do?
If only the fourteenth brother were here!
"ah……"
Just when Daishan had other thoughts in his mind and was a little distracted, he rushed towards him and knocked Daishan off his horse with an iron spear.
What's even more fatal is that Daishan's feet did not leave the stirrups. Due to his posture, his feet got stuck in the stirrups and were dragged along by the war horse.
"Amma!"
Man Dahai, who was fighting on the sidelines, witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The surrounding soldiers hurriedly rode forward and grabbed the reins of their master's mount.
When Mandahai went over to check, Daishan had already passed away...
Mandahai couldn't help crying when he saw this, and then wiped his tears, ordered his soldiers to take Ama's body back, and continued to lead the battle.
However, after the previous charge and the fierce battle with the current cavalry, the original 15,000 iron crossings of the two red flags were lost by more than half.
According to previous standards, it is completely possible to evacuate the battlefield on your own.
However, the opponent's barbarian cavalry were charging over row after row, giving Mandahai no chance to retreat.
In this situation where the two sides are hedging, they can only choose to rush forward, or leave their back to the opponent's iron spear!
Due to the dry season, the two sides even fought from the shore to the shoals of the Suzi River.
As long as the war horses can go up, many cavalry can be seen fighting desperately.
"Eagles of the grassland! It's time for us to show off our skills! Charge with me!"
When Teng Jisi saw his prey throwing himself into the trap, he shouted loudly and rushed forward with his troops.
The mission of the 20,000 menggu cavalry is very simple, that is, to finish the battle and cover up the fleeing braided cavalry.
This is a mission tailor-made by a certain new emperor for this friendly force that cannot fight a tough battle in view of its low combat power.
Although the Menggu cavalry from various tribes in Monan have obvious flaws, they can still achieve good results as long as they are used properly.
In order to win over friendly forces, a certain new emperor equipped each Menggu cavalry with chicken helmets and iron plate armor.
In order to distinguish the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty King's Division, paint was painted on the armor to facilitate identification and vigilance.
Whether these Menggu cavalry can be used has to be tested in actual combat.
But when the infantry formation of the Ming Dynasty's combined forces was not overwhelmed, and the Ming Dynasty king's cavalry did not fall behind in the battle against the braided cavalry.
Most of the Menggu cavalry will not rebel. At most, they will wait and see before entering the battlefield to pick peaches...
The chiefs of each tribe actually wanted to gain more victory, but they had to wait until the Ming army's cavalry opened up the situation.
They knew very well how powerful the Qing Army's Tie Chaodu was, but the Ming Army's cavalry had never achieved impressive results before.
Therefore, the chiefs still need to take a closer look, but there is only one thing. As long as the Ming army's infantry formation does not collapse, the Ming emperor will definitely not lose.
No matter what the outcome of the cavalry battle is, he will have to lead his troops to charge forward. Otherwise, not only will this trip be in vain, but he will be despised, questioned, and even wear small shoes when he returns...
Now the performance of the Ming army's cavalry has clearly exceeded the expectations of Teng Jisi and other chiefs. If the war ended like this, wouldn't he be a fool if he didn't lead his troops to charge forward?
Like many of the Menggu cavalry on the opposite side, the Menggu cavalry who served for the Ming Dynasty also howled and charged forward.
Facing his colleagues on the grassland, he was merciless.
Because everyone knows the value of hunting Qing soldiers. How many iron pots can two hundred taels of silver buy~!
If you want to improve the life of your whole family, it depends on how rewarding this trip is!
So Tie Chaodu, the Qing army who finally rushed to the rear of the Ming army, originally wanted to take a breath before fighting back.
I never expected that there would be someone responsible for the finishing touches? ? ?
Just by looking at the shape and color of the armor, he knew he was not one of his own, and he seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
It looks like there are tens of thousands of them!
The opponent was rushing towards me at full speed, and now it was impossible not to fight.
