Chapter 624 Fighting Thief Riding (5)

Seeing the Ming Iron Cavalry rushing over, the terrified rebels took off their cavalry bows, pulled the bowstrings, and shot out arrows. However, the arrows were stabbed on the horse-slinging cavalry and were all shot to the ground. The horse-slinging cavalry in vine armor were unscathed, and the war horses continued to accelerate and rushed towards the cavalry of the rebels.

"Kill!" Accompanied by crazy shouts, the dense cavalry lineup of heavy armored cavalry crashed into the stationary loose and unreleased rebel cavalry.

With the help of horsepower, the sharp armor-piercing cone plunged into the cavalry of the rebels, either hitting the knight or fighting horse. The rebels who were hit by the armor-piercing cone immediately flew backwards; the war horses that were hit fell down immediately, and even the people and horses were knocked out!

The horse spear penetrated deeply into the bodies or war horses of the cavalry of the rebels, and the spear rods bent into a circle. The Ming cavalry used the elastic force of the spear rod to pull out the spear while bounced out the bodies of the rebels. Then the cavalry used the elastic force of the spear rods to knock down the rebel cavalry who were galloping past them.

Although Cao Bianjiao's long white wax spear in his hand is not as long as a horse spear, his long spear is a light weapon, unlike a horse spear. Heavy weapon like a horse spear is used in cavalry battles, which is to charge and then charge, pierce, then use elastic force, and then use horse power to assassinate. And the white wax spear, a good general, has a gun in his hand, and is powerful. Originally, Cao Bianjiao's martial arts skills are higher than Li Guodong, and a spear is superb in his hands, especially this is a high-quality white wax spear.

Cao Bianjiao's long spear was straight and knocked off a cavalryman of the rebel army. Cao Bianjiao shook his hand, pulled out his spear, then shook the spear and stabbed it diagonally. A cavalryman who was galloping past him with a sabre blocked it with a sabre, but it was not blocked. He was stabbed off by Cao Bianjiao with one shot. Then Cao Bianjiao waved the gun again, and used the spear as a stick, swept a cavalryman of the rebel army off his horse with one shot.

"Those who block me will die!" Cao Bianjiao had already rushed to the first one, and the spear in his hand trembled countless spear flowers. The soldiers who were on the verge of rebels were caught in front of him like flies being slapped to death.

Because the formation of the Rebellion Army was not dense enough, it was rushed by more than a thousand horse-sling cavalry! It rushed from the front of the formation to the end, and the entire formation was drilled through. Before the cavalry of the Rebellion Army could react, the two thousand heavy cavalry behind the horse-sling cavalry rushed up again.

The Ming cavalry rushing in the front stretched out a long three-eyed gun, and the fuse hanging on the cavalry's neck was filled with blue smoke.

"Swoosh swish swish swish" the trenched army shot a row of arrows, and the long arrows stabbed the heavy cavalry, and were blocked by iron armor, and the Ming cavalry could not be injured at all. Some arrows were stuck on the horse's heads, and the leather vests covered with the horse's heads blocked the arrowheads; some arrows hit the horse's neck and stuck on the anti-arrow curtain hanging around the horse's neck. The arrows that passed through the anti-arrow curtain had lost their strength and could not injure the war horse.

The heavy cavalry rushed closer in a blink of an eye. The cavalry grabbed the fire rope and stabbed it through the fire gate. Only a deafening sound of guns was heard. The cavalry of the rebel army, which was only more than ten steps away from the Ming army, were dismissed. Each three-eyed cavalry inserted the fire rope into the fire gate three times, and wiped all three bullets. Then they grabbed the long wooden pole of the three-eyed gun with both hands, swung the three-eyed gun round, and smashed it hard as an iron hammer.

The three-eyed gun cavalry behind followed closely as they rushed into the formation of the rebel army. The knights turned their guns and aimed at the rebel cavalry running through both sides. With the roaring guns, the rebel cavalry who were galloping past the Ming cavalry were falling off one after another.

After the 1,33-eyed heavy cavalry rushed over, the 1,000 heavy cavalry following behind also rushed into the enemy group. The sharp sabers were waving, and the terrifying cavalry of the riots were chopped off like chopping melons and cutting vegetables. In a blink of an eye, all three cavalry of the Jinyang Army rushed over and headed straight for four hundred steps behind the riots, slowly decreasing their speed.

At the same time, the 3,500 light cavalry outside the formation of the Rebellion Army were still shooting arrows. The light cavalry used the Mangu tactics to continuously scatter the formation of the Rebellion Army cavalry, constantly attracting the Rebellion Army cavalry from the formation, then flew kites from far away, and kept shooting arrows. When the Rebellion Army cavalry turned around and returned, the light cavalry came up again, approaching more than ten steps to harasse the archery.

"Killing people mainly depends on heavy cavalry, but light cavalry is indispensable. With light cavalry, the enemy's formation will be in chaos. When their formation is in chaos, it will be when our heavy cavalry exerts its power." Li Guodong explained his tactics to Cao Bianjiao.

"Isn't this Jiannu's tactic?" Cao Bianjiao asked.

"Yes, but we need to learn the advantages of the enemy. It is most appropriate to use Jiannu's tactics to deal with thieves. However, Jiannu's tactics are more complicated. They not only have light and heavy cavalry cooperation, but also infantry and cavalry cooperation. Since Kong Youde and others surrendered Jiannu, they have learned infantry, cavalry and cannon cooperation."

"The thief is coming to us!" Han Dashan shouted.

"Prepare to rush again!" Li Guodong shouted.

The heavy cavalry had just drilled through Li Zicheng's cavalry formation once, and this time he was ready to withdraw back to Kaifeng. It was not realistic to wipe out Li Zicheng's 30,000 cavalry with 6,500 cavalry. It was possible to defeat him. However, after the defeat, Li Guodong did not intend to chase Li Zicheng, but immediately retreated to his camp. Because the horsepower of the heavy cavalry that charged twice was almost exhausted, there was no need to get involved. Once the horsepower of the heavy cavalry was exhausted, it could only be used as infantry, which would be very unfavorable to the opponent's cavalry.

This time, the rebel army learned the lesson and no longer took care of the harassment of the Ming army's light cavalry, formed a dense formation, and took the initiative to rush towards the Ming army's heavy cavalry.

Li Guodong naturally adjusted his tactics, using the three-eyed gun cavalry to the front, followed by the heavy cavalry to the horse lance, and finally the heavy cavalry to the sabre.

After just recovering horsepower, during a short rest, all the three-eyed cavalry loaded the projectiles, reignited the extinguished fuse, and then hung the fuse around their necks. During the resting process, the cavalry also checked the fuse, and the arrows tied to the arrow curtain were taken off. Some of the fuses suffered some skin injuries and were also dealt with simply.

The rebel army was less than 300 steps away from him. At such a distance, the speed of the heavy cavalry could not be increased to the highest level, but Li Guodong didn't care. He had just drilled the rebel army once, and the horsepower of the heavy cavalry had been consumed for a round and it was difficult to reach the maximum speed.

"Get on the horse and kill!" Li Guodong ordered.

All the cavalrymen boarded their horses, and Han Dashan was the first to rush out, and more than a thousand three-eyed cavalrymen rushed out behind him.

"Kill!" Li Guodong pointed forward with his horse lance, followed the three-eyed gun cavalry with his horse lance, and rushed towards the formation of the rebel cavalry.

The last one to rush out was the heavy cavalry of the sabre. This heavy cavalry that uses a sabre uses a sabre when facing the rebel army. If it is against the Qing army, it will be replaced with armor-breaking weapons such as page hammers.

The cavalry of the 1,33-eyed guns slowly increased their speed and rushed towards the cavalry of the rebel army.

"Concentrate your troops and rush! It's okay to lose a few people ahead!" Liu Zongmin shouted.

The cavalry of the rebel army rushed towards Han Dashan's three-eyed gun cavalry in a dense cone formation. The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.

Just as the cavalry of both sides were about to collide, Han Dashan's three-eyed gun cavalry suddenly separated to the two wings, followed by the three-eyed gun roaring one after another, and the sound of guns continued. The three-eyed gun cavalry that rushed through the two wings of the rebel army fired guns continuously, killing the rebel army cavalry one after another.

Han Dashan did not use the three-eyed gun. While he was galloping past, he threw a javelin and shot through a trench army. Then the second javelin flew out and knocked down another trench cavalry. After the six javelins were thrown, he took off the special powerful cavalry bow, pulled the bowstrings in succession, shot more than ten arrows in succession, and shot down many trench cavalry.
