"Bagaya Lu... is the cavalry of the Ming people!"

When he saw the sudden appearance of the cavalry, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the leader named Masaharu Tanikawa. The bright red cloak behind the cavalry was so dazzling under the scorching sun. Such a color was also the most obvious sign of the Ming army.

"Everyone, hurry up and make an array!"

Seeing that it was almost iconic red, Masaharu Furukawa loudly issued an order to prepare for battle without any hesitation. After all, he was a Japanese pirate who had been through a long battle formation. He knew very well that infantry should not imagine that they could run past four legs when they met cavalry. There might be a way out for them to form a formation, and if they escaped, they would have a dead end.

Under his order, these Japanese pirates had no time to kill the dying women. They jumped up one by one, either pulling out Japanese swords, raising their spears or holding long bows. More than thirty people quickly formed a long snake formation. There were even two or three vanguards holding Japanese swords in both hands jumped out of the team for more than ten steps and staring at the cavalry coming towards them, making hoarse roars.

"Pudding...pudding..."

The team of cavalry stopped more than 300 meters away from them. The young man in the head, who looked like a leader, narrowed his eyes and looked at the Japanese pirates lined up in front of them with a little gloomy expression on their faces, as if he was hesitating.

A cavalryman stepped forward and shouted excitedly: "Boss, there are those Japanese pirates ahead. What are we waiting for? Hurry up and disperse them, and then a few charges can solve the problem!"

The cavalry in the lead was no one else, but Yang Daniu, who commanded all the cavalry of the Qianhu Station of Jiangdongmen. He turned his head to look at the guy who was talking, with a look of solemnity on his face, and pointed to the Japanese pirates in front of him and said, "What do you know? These thieves are not simple. Now they are leaning against the riverside, so we cannot use the advantages of the cavalry to disperse them or circle them. We can only choose to fight with them, but there are longbowmen among these thieves, which is difficult to deal with. Remember, head-on battles are not what we should do, it is the thing that musketeers and infantrymen do!"

After saying that, he sighed in his heart as he looked at the cavalry beside him with disapproval on his face, "It's still too short for training. These guys still haven't been able to break out of the minds of infantrymen. At best, they can only be considered infantry riding horses."

Yang Daniu's feelings make sense. Although Yang Feng has equipped the best equipment for the only cavalry team in his hand and purchased dozens of war horses in Nanjing City, after several months of training, they can only be considered able to ride horses. As for fighting the enemy on the horse's back or even riding and shooting, such a difficult movement without two or three years of hard training, it is impossible to imagine. Therefore, the biggest function of the cavalry in his hand is to serve as a sight for the large troops behind.

Yang Daniu naturally knew the level of this cavalry he trained, and he had a lot of experience in fighting the Manchus in Liaodong for several years. He could see at a glance that although the Japanese pirates in front were short and ragged, they all cooperated with each move and had a murderous aura when they acted. This was definitely a group of experienced and skillful enemies. If he really wanted to lead these more than ten rookies who had been training for a few months to attack the Japanese pirates in front, he would not have to explain this to him.

Thinking of this, Yang Daniu whispered to the people behind him: "You stay where you don't move, wait for me to try the depth of these thieves first. If I have anything to do, you can return immediately, do you understand?"

"Boss, that's OK!"

The cavalry next to him was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yang Daniu, "This is a military order. Whoever dares to violate the military law will do it!"

As soon as they heard about military law, these cavalrymen were immediately shocked. They may not have learned the ability of cavalry fighting in the past few months, but military discipline and orders have long been deeply engraved into their bones. Once they violated the military order, those polite officials who did not recognize their relatives would really be able to enforce military law.

After giving the order, Yang Daniu took out a three-eyed gun with his right hand, picked up a round shield made of stainless steel from the horse with his left hand, and clamped his legs with his horse's back, and the war horse trotted towards the Japanese pirates in front of him.

The three-eyed gun held by Yang Daniu is a short gun specially made by Yang Feng for the cavalry. This three-eyed gun is very different from the traditional three-eyed guns of the Ming army. The three-eyed guns of the Ming army are cast from cooked iron, two meters long and weighing seven or eight kilograms. The tail with a long handle is also equipped with a three-point fork head, which can be aimed like a bird gun. The three-point fork heads are installed behind so that soldiers can turn around after shooting and use the three-point forks at the tail to fight the enemy. However, this length and weight are not suitable for cavalry.

The three-eyed gun made by Yang Feng is made of fine steel, with a diameter of 13 mm, a length of 58 cm and a weight of 3.6 kilograms. It allows the cavalry to hold the gun in one hand. After the shooting is completed, it can easily turn another gun barrel to continue shooting, which can greatly enhance the attack power of the cavalry. The only disadvantage is that the range is nearly twice as short as the smoothbore rifle used by infantry, and the effective range against enemies without armor is only more than forty or less than fifty meters.

"Pudding lump..."

The sound of horse hooves gradually became faster, and Yang Daniu rushed towards the Japanese pirates in front of him one by one.

Standing next to the team, Masaharu Furukawa, who saw that there was only one person coming from the Ming army opposite, felt that he had been greatly insulted. Although his group of people were all infantry, there were more than 30 people at least. You rushed over alone, which was too despised. He shouted loudly with a little red eyes, "Let the spear forward, the archer prepare!"

"Crazy..."

With his orders, more than a dozen Japanese pirates holding spears ran out of the battle formation, pointing their spears diagonally at 45 degrees to the sky. Behind them were seven or eight archers, and the remaining seven or eight Japanese pirates holding Japanese swords stood beside them.

Yang Daniu, who was charging at the horse, saw that the Japanese pirates could change the formation in such a short time, and his heart sank even further. These Japanese pirates were even proficient in the battle formation. It seemed that this was a tough bone, but as the saying goes, there was no turning back when the bow was fired. Since he launched the charge, he naturally could not retreat.

Although his mind was rotating rapidly, his movements were not slow. The distance of 300 meters was not short. After acceleration, he quickly rushed to a distance of 100 meters from the Japanese pirates. This distance could clearly see the appearance of the Japanese pirates on the opposite side.
