The cavalry of the Tiance Army is of course the most mature harassing tactics. The lancers are actually similar to the light cavalry in Mongolia. They consume you from afar. I will leave when you rush up. Anyway, I am a light cavalry, and you can't catch up. I will rush up when you retreat. It will exhaust you until you are exhausted.

Compared with the Mongolian light cavalry, the Tiance Army's lancers are better. The range and power of the flintlock rifle are far superior to that of the bow and arrow, and are easier to train, so that these lancers can still spend some time training cold weapons, even if they fight closely with the enemy, it is not a pity.

The two brigades led by Deng Deming are the most elite troops of the Third Division of the Cavalry Legion. Almost half of them participated in the battles to block the Guanning Army and the Border Army in the past year. They have a lot of experience and can be said to be able to deal with the cavalry under Zhang Jingxin.

But Zhang Jingxin in front of him had not yet linked the enemy in front of him with the Tiance Army who defeated the Guanning Army. After all, he had already preconceived the enemy that was attacked was the Red Maverick Yi.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jingxin ordered, "Hu Yueqing, I'll order you to lead 400 cavalry to disperse these bandits!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

Hu Yueqing was the Qianzheng of the cavalry of the Superbiao camp. After receiving the order, he selected 400 cavalry from his command and rushed towards the Tiance cavalry on the side.

Looking at the cavalry team leaving the array, Zhang Jingxin ordered to continue moving forward without a moment of stay.

He knew that this must be the way for Hongmaoyi to delay. He used these scattered cavalry to block the army's advance and gain time for the main force of Hongmao who attacked Guangzhou City. Of course, he could not let these damn Hongmaoyi get what he wanted.

Hu Yueqing, who took the initiative, not only did not have any worries at all, but was even a little ecstatic. This was a rare opportunity.

The Governor was behind him. As long as he led his army to annihilate the haunted bandit cavalry, it would be a great victory in the first battle. The Governor would definitely look at him differently and have a bright future.

"Bang bang bang..."

As Hu Yueqing and his cavalry disappeared from sight, the dense sound of muskets came from the southeast, and Zhang Jingxin couldn't help but frown.

Judging from the density of the sound, there are quite a few bandits, and the sound is getting farther and farther away, which means they are fighting and retreating, and they do not fight head-on with Hu Yueqing at all.

This is not a good thing, it is very similar to the Mongols' Manguda tactics. He even was a little worried about whether the enemy was ambushing heavy cavalry nearby.

Sure enough, not long after, Hu Yueqing came back with a look of horror, and was extremely embarrassed. Her armor was covered with mud and blood, and her face was also broken.

Seeing that Hu Yueqing, the cavalry general of the Supervisor Camp, was so embarrassed, the other officers also understood that he must have suffered a great loss and was also worried.

Hu Yueqing knelt on one knee, "Master Taiwan Master, the bandit's musket is very sharp. The last general wants to stick it on and defeat it, but the bandits do not fight with our army, and retreat after the fight. The last general leads the army to pursue, but the other team of bandit cavalry ambushed, and the formation is disrupted. The last general has to lead the army to retreat!

The last general was incompetent, died in battle, injured, and captured by bandits in total, more than 120 people. The last general was willing to be punished!"

Zhang Jingxin was also shocked. There were two cavalry battalions under the Superbiao Battalion, which totaled only 1,800 people. The battle alone cost more than 120 people, and the enemy's strength far exceeded the estimate.

"The crime is not on you, it is because the bandits are too cunning. Go back and rectify the troops."

Zhang Jingxin naturally would not punish Hu Yueqing. After all, he was not afraid before fighting, but his strength was not as strong as others.

Hu Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief, took a break and returned to his team.

In fact, his mood at this moment was not relaxed because the governor bypassed him. Only by fighting with the enemy with his own hands can he realize the strength of the enemy.

Even if he doesn't need to fight now, these enemies are always surrounded by ghosts. Do you rush up and take a bite? If this continues, the team will probably collapse before you reach Guangzhou City.

Zhang Jingxin really has no good idea to attack the Tiance Army cavalry. If he had enough cavalry under his command, especially those who were good at using bows and arrows, he could have been sent out to deal with the enemy. However, although there were many cavalry in his hand, not many could be proficient in using bows and arrows, and could not withstand such consumption.

If the cavalry were completely lost, the remaining infantry would be unable to move at all and would be torn apart by the bandits little by little.

Zhang Jingxin could only shrink her defense and withdraw all the scouts, otherwise they would have to be killed.

The army continued to move forward, and Zhang Jingxin regarded the continued harassment of the surrounding areas as if he had not seen it. Although people were constantly attacked and fell down, he didn't care. Anyway, the outermost part was the soldiers of the guards, so he didn't feel sorry for the losses.

Even without these bandit cavalry attacks, many guards will be destined to be left behind. Now there are enemy cavalry surrounding them. I believe that even if the guards want to escape, they will not have the courage.

He continued to advance for about ten miles, and the sound of muskets around him gradually became less and finally he fell into peace, as if these enemy cavalry had retreated.

Zhang Jingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. In this short ten miles, only two hundred people were killed and injured. Even if they were all guards, if they continued like this, they would probably not be able to walk into Guangzhou City.

【    Fast update】

However, when they crossed a small slope less than five feet, they suddenly found that a large number of cavalry teams appeared on the fire ground in front of them.

Zhang Jingxin was very surprised at the army of bandits and cavalry that suddenly appeared in front of him. He never expected that there were so many cavalrymen in the bandits. After a rough count, he found that there were thousands of people.

What surprised him the most was that these cavalry formed a relatively neat array, and seemed to be planning to take the initiative to fight.

Li Kailiang, the general of the Supervisor Battalion, pretended to be confused and said, "Sir, what are these bandits going to do?"

Zhang Jingxin stroked her beard and said, "These bandits are too bold and arrogant. They think that the mere few hours of harassment have caused our army's morale to plummet, and they want to seek a decisive battle with our army. In this way, it's just my wish. Li Kailiang, do you have the confidence to defeat them?"

"I will be willing to share the worries of the National Taiwan University!"

"Okay, I did not read the wrong person at the beginning. If you pass the order, all the cavalry in each garrison will be assigned to Li Kailiang's command!" Then he slowly said, "In this battle, be sure to wipe out all the bandits!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

After receiving Zhang Jingxin's order, Li Kailiang began to organize his troops to fight against enemy cavalry several miles away.

He had two cavalry under his command, a total of more than 1,800 cavalrymen. However, Hu Yueqing led the team to fight and lost more than 100. Now there are only 1,700 people. The cavalry of the other guards gathered more than 600, and he had a total of 2,300 cavalrymen.

On the opposite field, as the commander of the Third Division of the Cavalry Legion, as the Ming cavalry began to line up, Deng Deming couldn't help but recall the scene of the Battle of Qingzhou.

At that time, he was just one of Kong Youde's personal soldiers. Like the other ten personal soldiers, each of them was assigned twenty soldiers who could barely ride horses, and asked them to form a team to hunt down Ming army scouts. He also stood out in that battle and climbed to the level of division commander step by step.

He still remembers the dangers of the beginning, especially when he was commanding the battle for the first time, he had twenty cavalry under his command, and only eleven of the Ming army, twenty-one-only eleven. On the surface, he had the advantage of the number of people, but in fact, among the twenty people, he was considered qualified cavalry, and the rest were just able to ride horses.

At that time, he used his personal force to eliminate half of the enemy's troops, and then twenty subordinates solved several other people, and finally won the victory.

In that battle, if his personal combat power is slightly worse, or the enemy's strength is stronger, the battle situation is likely to be reversed.

But now it’s different. After nearly two years of growth, he has become a qualified senior commander and no longer needs to use his personal force to gain advantages on the battlefield.

Even though the enemy had nearly 2,000 cavalrymen, he was sure to win because of the 1,000 lancers with sufficient training and rich practical experience under his command.

The soldiers in the array also looked resolute, but what made them a little unhappy was that the inappropriate Dutch military uniforms were very suitable, but they were awkward no matter how they looked. However, this was the order of the superiors, and they could only follow them.

Seeing the Ming cavalry on the opposite side stepping out and they also lined up into combat formations, Deng Deming ordered lightly, "The whole army attacks!"

The war horses began to step forward in unison, then accelerated little by little, and the horse's hooves trampled on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

In the configuration of the lancers, except for the accident of each of them having a broken gun, each of them was equipped with a sabre, and the officers even had a pistol. When they really fought, they were not worth it, whether it was long-range attacks or close combat.

The distance between the two cavalry was only three miles away. When Li Kailiang saw the opposite cavalry start charging, he also ordered the charge.

From a distance, the two cavalrymen were like two waves on the sea, approaching rapidly, and bursts of smoke and dust rose behind them. From a distance, they were particularly spectacular.

The cavalry of both sides quickly got closer. When they approached 60 feet, the lances raised their flintlock rifles and pulled the trigger towards the enemy cavalry group opposite.

These flintlock rifles were loaded in advance, and in order to prevent the projectile from sliding down from the muzzle, cotton was specially stuffed.

As the trigger was pulled one after another, the muzzle shot out high-speed bullets, and instantly shot into the Ming cavalry. Cavalry or war horses were constantly shot and fell down.

After the launch, the soldiers ignored their results and carried the flintlock rifle behind their backs, picked up the saber in their hands, and continued to charge forward.

These actions were told in advance, and as long as you give me a reminder, these highly disciplined soldiers can do the corresponding actions on the battlefield.

In an instant, the two cavalry teams collided heavily, but the cavalry formation of the Tiance Army was extremely strict, while the formation of the Ming cavalry, due to the volley before the battle, caused many cavalry to fall from the front row. In order to avoid the cavalry behind, the cavalry had to avoid these corpses and war horses that became obstacles, and the formation was not so strict.

But even so, war horses still knocked down, and then the cavalry on both sides fell off their horses, and the collision and wailing sounds were endless.

The cavalry on both sides were mixed together, and the dust raised by the horses running, it was difficult to see the specific situation of the battlefield outside, but Deng Deming was very convinced that these subordinates who lived together day and night were also waving the saber in their hands and slashing the enemy in front of them.

In fact, the lancers in the battle were all happy to find that these Ming cavalry were much weaker than they expected, and they could easily shoot the enemy down, without even much effort.

As the battle progressed, the situation began to turn to the side of the lances. Not to mention anything else, the lances could completely crush the Ming cavalry in terms of physical strength.

Cutting people is also a job of strength. The lancers have been given sufficient nutrition for a long time, and there is no problem of officers deducting food and salary. Therefore, they are physically strong, and with diligent training, they can exert their strength with one knife, which is far higher than the Ming cavalry.

This situation often occurs on the battlefield. When the Ming cavalry swung down with one knife, the lancers immediately used blocking. Not only did they block the attack, but they also successfully cut back and knocked the opponent down.

A Ming cavalry may have exhausted his strength after slashing for more than ten times, while a lancesman has more than twenty times, and still has enough strength to say that he can cut another one.

In the chaotic battle situation, people kept falling from their horses, but if you carefully distinguish them, you will find that most of them were Ming cavalry.

Less than a stick of incense, the Ming cavalry began to escape from the battle and flee to the rear. As time went by, more and more cavalry began to escape.

When Zhang Jingxin saw a cavalry fleeing back, she was filled with anger. The cavalry that he had worked hard to train actually escaped at the last moment. When the battle ended, they must deal with them well. The ones who escaped at the beginning must be beheaded to show their warnings.

But as more and more Ming troops fled, he found that something seemed wrong. If he continued like this, he might lose in this battle between the cavalry.

He never expected that the enemy would not only harass, but also faced battles were so sharp.

But he could only worry. He had basically sent out all the cavalry that could be used. Although there were more than 200 cavalry in the team, they were basically servants of officers of each guard. Compared with the melee of these 3,000 cavalrymen, it was a drop in the bucket.

It is even more unreliable to send infantry up. It is completely a matter of seeking death. Infantry without formation defense will only end up being massacred when facing cavalry.

The entire battle process lasted less than half an hour and ended with the disastrous defeat of the Ming cavalry.

For Deng Deming, this battle was destined from the beginning. Even if the Ming cavalry had this number advantage, in terms of individual combat power, weapons and equipment, and cooperation between soldiers, his lancers completely crushed the opponent.

After laying the victory, Deng Deming left more than a hundred people to clean the battlefield. The remaining soldiers took advantage of the victory and pursued them, following the footsteps of the fleeing Ming cavalry, trying to build a ship in one fell swoop and defeat the Ming army.

However, what disappointed him was that when he rushed over, he found that the enemy had organized a defensive formation, rows of spears standing in front of the formation, and rushing up to die.

Although Zhang Jingxin is not outstanding in military affairs, she still has basic skills. As early as when she saw that the cavalry was about to be defeated, she ordered the organization of a defensive formation. Although it was not certain that the cavalry would be defeated, in order to prevent accidents, she still made arrangements in advance.bdshare();
