The loyal guard chief shouted and asked the baron to follow his guard to flee to the north. Their camp was not far from the village, and there were enough horse-resistance and slopes to deal with the threat of the cavalry.

No one wants to fight a decisive battle with the cavalry in a flat field, just as no one wants to face the archer after the horse-refusing fortification.

The Lord rejected this seemingly correct proposal. He pointed to the dead knight on the ground and said, "There are no musket marks on his chest, only behind his back, the enemy is lighter than him, and he can catch up with him, but he can't beat him in front of him. If it weren't for... to send us a letter, he wouldn't die."

The lord left enough decent for the knight after his death. No one knew whether the knight died for the message or escape. In short, he was dead.

Perhaps only the dead knight master knew what would be waiting for him if he didn't run away. If the bent spear in this world could kill people, the cracked clay pot would be an even more terrifying weapon.

Not only can it destroy human spirit, but it can also destroy human spirit before this.

The battle outside the village continued. In the farmland where there was no time to sow seeds, the Beiyang cavalry, with sabers and golden gourds, were chasing the archers and infantry running wildly.

Cavalry is the king of war in small-scale encounters, and the Beiyang cavalry, which was established as a general cavalry that was based on the outward expansion of the empire at the beginning of its establishment, was the best among them.

In ancient times, cavalry in the Central Plains dynasty were usually this kind of common cavalry. The most common word used to describe Chinese cavalry soldiers was to be skilled in bows and horses and be able to cope with different war environments.

They can ride horses and guns to carry out charges, and can draw out sabers to rush into the enemy's formation to carry out harvesting when the enemy is defeated. This does not prevent them from being able to rush on horseback in battles with low intensity, and even if they lose their war horses in difficult times, they can still enter the battlefield as an infantryman with excellent skills.

The emergence of muskets greatly reduced the training time of general cavalry. Hanging two pistols on the horse's neck with longer guns than three-eyed guns is enough to save them from learning how to arch and archery. Their tactics are nothing new, but they only applied cluster assaults in the heyday of the Mongol Empire to small-scale combat.

The cavalry teams rush toward two or three rows of large width. When encountering enemy scattered soldiers on the road, they will be eliminated. If they cannot be eliminated, they will retreat and lure the enemy. When friendly troops on both sides advance to their flanks, they will attack with three sides. If it still doesn't work, retreat again. When friendly troops with larger widths are surrounded by the enemy's back, they will attack from all sides.

In fact, this is a common tactic used by Beiyang cavalry scouts, and is specifically used to eliminate enemy scouts and oppress the enemy's vision.

There is no way. As the commander of the Beiyang cavalry small flag officer, this is the most familiar tactic of his hands.

He wouldn't know if he asked him to take something else.

Those archers who rely on longbows and retreat arrows are difficult to injure the cavalry. It is not that they cannot injure the armor, but it is still possible to injure the armor. Some arrows shot on their bodies are cut open, and some arrows shot on their bodies penetrate the chest and nail half an arrow. As for the shooting on their faces, don't think about it. The cavalry rushed too fast and people were shocked when they heard the sound of horse hooves approaching. There are very few people who can firmly pull the bow and shoot arrows without missing. It is common to aim at the head and chest and horses.

The most common occurrence is that the longbower loses the longbow and runs away, and is taken away by the cavalry.

The infantry was even more uncomfortable. The small infantry in the field, with his long halberd and his last stubbornness, planned to fight to the death with the cavalry, who was full of scorching and gorgeous colors, but saw the cavalry charge and began to step on two steps. They leaned over and took out a short musket from the horse's back. With a gun, the last scene he saw was that the cavalry inserted his spear down to the ground in the smoke, and leisurely cleared the barrel and loaded the musket with ammunition.

In the eyes of the unlucky infantry, the spear in the hands of the Beiyang cavalry is Trump going to India - a scam!

The English cavalry on the field were not comfortable. They ran fast, but wearing cheap inferior plate armor made them incompetent in front charges like the Grand Lords who ignored the Beiyang cavalry's shorter range muskets like the Great Lords. The armor on the back was thinner, and typical escape was death, and the attack was death.

The most annoying thing is that it is all like this. When the cavalry mustered up the courage to charge, the Ming cavalry with gorgeous armor did not fight with them, but took them around in circles, and then were knocked down by bullets from some unknown place.

Under the bloody setting sun, Ying Ming, who was waiting and watching on the high slope, watched the encounter surrounding Leitou Township ended with the defeat of the Tuyi army.

Ailan's horse-riding infantry, carrying a tomahawk and sharp knife, swam on the battlefield, ending the injured and undead enemy, and quickly constraining all the spoils. They were used to following behind the Beiyang cavalry to remove the once-looking invincible English army. Many people even wanted to truly rely on the Ailan army to fight with the English army.

But Ying Ming never gave them such a chance.

Under the telescope, everything that was being arranged in the village was invisible. They gathered the defeated troops who fled back to the village and set up defense fortifications, demolished several rooms, made a horse with spears and wood to block several narrow roads, laid the thatched roof with wooden boards to allow the archers to reach the high point, and seemed to be planning to strengthen the mill, and all actions pointed to their ultimate goal - to defend.

The real strength of telescopes is not just that people can see further, but that they can only grasp more information in war so that they can implement more strategies.

In history, only strong soldiers can use strange strategies. Weak soldiers use strange strategies not only for death but for the impossible to complete their mission.

Just like now, Ying Ming could see the enemy's plan to defend the village and send riders to the north. If he hadn't seen this scene, he wouldn't know, but if he saw it, he could extract more information from it, for example: there were enemy reinforcements from the north.

The enemy may marching with fire all night, which may bring a chance to Ying Ming to the hands of a night attack, so he has an extra choice.

However, to measure the physical condition of most war horses and soldiers at present, Ying Ming did not think they could be competent for this night attack and leave calmly after the attack, but he could at least confirm that his mission had been completed and the enemy troops besieging Puli County did make large-scale military mobilizations to the west.

At this moment, the other 100 Beiyang cavalry left in the city should have set out to the east, and they can return to Puli County to rest.

The Beiyang cavalry remained around the village until night fell, and they raised many bonfires in the distance, and in the shadow of the bonfire, they gathered troops to retreat from the ferry southwest of Plymouth in the south direction.

On the way, Ying Ming finally looked back at the village that was still brightly lit, and smiled at Xiao Leitou who was sitting on the back of his personal soldiers and said, "We will come back soon."
