Chapter 101： Cavalry Charge

The battle of Qian Su Le's department was only part of the left-wing battle, and part of it was Dong Tianbao's department. They also encountered attacks of almost the same intensity.

However, their situation was a little better, and more than 500 people were lost in one round of contact.

The Qing army lost nearly 900 people and was defeated.

If it is not for the integrity of the army, he would like to order the soldiers to pursue them. As long as they seize the opportunity to hunt down at that time, they will be able to kill hundreds more of the enemy army.

He had done this long ago, and this is a good opportunity to take credit.

But now, he has to abide by Wu Changqing's orders and must serve the entire army.

If he chased rashly, causing the rushing forward to be surrounded by the enemy, then the entire left wing would be in danger, which would affect the entire decisive battle.

He can't bear this responsibility, and the way Wu Junli calculates credit now is very different from the previous military.

In the previous army, the calculation of the merits of a general mainly depends on how many enemies he killed.

But now, Wu Changqing's calculation method depends on how well you complete the task.

Wu Changqing asked him to guard this small highland, as long as he guarded it, he would have completed the task. Even if he didn't kill an enemy, it was his ability to scare the enemy away, and he still rewarded him.

Conversely, if he trespassed and killed two thousand enemy troops, but lost the high ground, he would still fail to complete the mission and be punished.

For the integrity of this decisive battle, the high ground he defended was more important than killing two thousand enemy troops.

If this highland is lost, the Qing army can flow in from this gap and directly attack the side of Qian Sule and the side of the Chinese army.

He killed thousands of enemy troops without affecting the overall situation. The real decision is to see whether the Chinese army can destroy the cavalry of the Qing army. This is the core of this battle.

If it were not for the destruction of the cavalry, they would not have to go out of the city for a decisive battle. The advantage of hiding in the city and defending the city would be even greater.

Using flintlocks on the city wall to defend the attack of the Cold Weapon Unit can definitely hit the enemy army to cry. This Liu Liangzuo has experienced it, and Dong Tianbao has also experienced it himself.

In the Chinese army, Boluo saw the defeat of the left wing through a telescope, and he didn't know what to scold.

The failure of the Chinese Army's Fire Guns can also be said to be inferior to the Ming Army's weapons. But both sides of the left wing are cold weapons. At most, the enemy has an extra hand grenade, and it can't even hold it. It's really annoying.

"We underestimated Wu Jun's resilience. This is by no means an army that only relies on weapons. The resilience of their soldiers is really terrifying. Liu Liangzuo misled me."

Hong Chengchou stomped his feet with anger. In the previous battle reports of Liu Liangzuo, the whole article was about the sharpness of Wu Jun's firearms, the sharpness of firearms, and the sharpness of fire. There was no mention of the toughness and fighting will of Wu Jun soldiers.

This caused Hong Chengchou to ignore this aspect a bit, and now he saw the battle between the two sides with his own eyes, and he discovered that the Wu Jun soldiers were elite, and their fighting will was not worse than the Eight Banners soldiers, and even better.

No wonder he was able to win many battles before, this army is really too elite, this Wu Changqing is really a genius in training.

Hong Chengchou was a little anxious, they had suffered a big loss in the current situation, but they hadn't gained anything.

Next, we can only look at the impact of the cavalry.

Azig had already rectified ten thousand cavalry, ready to disperse Wu's middle army from the front, and then ten thousand cavalry behind to keep up with the harvest.

As long as the infantry formation is broken up, they are equal to victory in the battle.

The firecrackers, who had suffered heavy losses, retreated, and the cavalry began to slowly step forward and walk towards the Wu Jun.

It is walking, not rushing over.

It’s impossible to start charging after thousands of meters in the film and television drama, and the high-speed charging horse can't last long.

Therefore, the general situation is to walk slowly, then trot, until the distance of almost two hundred meters or even closer, the cavalry began to sprint.

This gradual increase in speed is very rhythmic and vigorous.

In the ordinary infantry phalanx, it is normal to watch tens of thousands of tall horses rushing towards you and scare your pants.

Being able to stay still when facing cavalry charges, holding the spear firmly is the elite. Ninety percent of the military cannot do this.

"Change formation, become hollow square."

Even if the cavalry are still thousands of meters apart, it takes less than a minute to wait for the cavalry to charge up.

Li Shaobin used binoculars to observe the main cavalry of the enemy at all times, and when he saw that the opponent was in a charging position, he immediately knew that the enemy was coming true.

After numerous trainings, the Fire Blast Army quickly completed the transformation.

The army of more than 15,000 people is divided into nearly a hundred small square formations, leaving a lot of blank areas between the formations.

This type of formation will suffer from combat with infantry, but it is very useful against cavalry.

In ancient wars, formation was more important than the bravery of soldiers.

What fish scale formations, gossip formations, and long-snake formations are not made for good looks. Under certain circumstances, different formations can have miraculous effects.

"Hey, Governor Hong, look at their formation, what does this mean?"

Boluo handed the telescope to Hong Chengchou, because he saw an incredible scene that the Ming army's formation turned into a loose formation on their own initiative. Isn't this looking for death?

The best formation for infantry against cavalry is the dense formation. Everyone gathers together. If the cavalry dares to rush up, they will lose space at most for a few steps, and finally have to stop.

This kind of confrontation will be very tragic, and the courage of the infantry is very demanding. But once the soldiers persisted and did not collapse, it was the cavalry that would cry.

The greatest weapon of the cavalry is speed, and the threat of speed is greatly reduced.

And this forced charge, although the infantry will die more, but the cavalry loss will not be small. But it takes one or two months to train an infantry, and it takes at least one or two years to train a cavalry, or even longer.

The value of a cavalry is approximately equal to five infantrymen. With the addition of war horses, one cavalryman is equal to ten infantrymen. Using cavalrymen to forcibly attack a dense phalanx is definitely a cavalry general's mind.

In this situation, the cavalry usually avoids, choose to pass by the side, and then shoot arrows at the infantry phalanx. Take advantage of the shortcomings of the infantry phalanx's poor mobility, and bully to your heart's content.

If the infantry phalanx does not have massive shields, it will be miserable. If there is, the cavalry will not be able to start.

Basically, the battle between the ancient infantry and the cavalry is this model. The cavalry takes the absolute initiative, but it is not invincible.

However, it is common sense that infantry meets cavalry to form a dense phalanx, which is absolute.

But now, Wu Changqing's army is doing the opposite, turning the originally dense horizontal formations into small squares.

In this way, will the cavalry be unimpeded?

Boluo couldn't figure out why Wu Changqing wanted to do this. He didn't even suspect that Wu Changqing was in the head, but this behavior was too weird to understand.
