Hearing this, Yang Zhen hurriedly reined in his horse and turned around, and saw that his cavalry team, which was somewhat loose in formation, was quickly gathering towards the top of the low hillside.

"Sir! Li Youyi and the others have just fought against the two Tatars who came to aid Xiong Yuecheng. They should still be able to withstand it! Let them resist first. It is best if they can withstand it. If they cannot withstand it, they can also slow down the two Tatar cavalry.

The speed of the horses! When the time comes, we can charge down with heavy cavalry in a dense formation, so that we can win with one blow!"

Although Yang Zhen doesn't know much about cavalry tactics now, he also knows some common sense. He knows that the most important thing when cavalry attacks is formation and speed.

In terms of speed, it is important to fight fast against slow. The faster the horse is, the more advantages the cavalry can have in combat. Therefore, when the two cavalry are fighting, whoever has the faster horse will take the lead.

In terms of formation, it emphasizes using the hard to defeat the soft, which has two meanings.

The first level talks about equipment, which mainly refers to the heavy cavalry team wearing heavy armor, which is better than the light cavalry team with no armor, less armor or leather armor.

The second level of hard hitting soft talk about formation, which refers to a cavalry team with a dense, thick, and uniform formation, which is better than a cavalry team with a loose and chaotic formation.

At this time, the cavalry under Lu Pinqi's command were all spear cavalry specially equipped with heavy armor. They not only had weapons such as bows and arrows, sabers, and swords, but also each one was equipped with a charging spear.

The number of these heavy cavalry was not large, only one hundred in total. Even if Yang Zhen, Lu Pinqi, and Ma Keqing were included, there were only one hundred and three.

However, as long as your side adjusts its formation, seizes the opportunity, and rushes down when the time comes, hitting the slow with the fast and the soft with the hard, even if the opponent has twice as many people as you, you can still win with one blow.

, defeat more with less.

Although Yang Zhen did not use cavalry tactics, his predecessor was a strong cavalry general and a master of horse fighting. After listening to Lu Pinqi's words, he seemed to have thought of many things instinctively.

At that moment, Yang Zhen pulled the restless war horse under him and said to Lu Pinqi: "Okay! I will listen to you! Lu Shen will give you orders in a moment! We will attack the slow with the fast and the weak with the real.

Defeat these traitorous lackeys in one battle!"

When Yang Zhen finished speaking, the heavy cavalry on his side had already arrived one after another. With Yang Zhen's personal authorization, Lu Pinqi stopped being polite and immediately gave orders.

Originally, those cavalrymen were all Lu Pinqi's carefully selected confidants, so they naturally gave him orders and prohibitions.

Soon, the loose formation caused by the march was readjusted under Lu Pinqi's command, and combined with the terrain of this post road, eight cavalry were arranged side by side in a row, and twelve cavalry were formed in a row in front and behind.

Of the remaining four cavalry in the formation, two were guarding Lu Pinqi's left and right, and the other two were arranged to guard Yang Zhen and Ma Keqing's left and right.

Yang Zhen and Lu Pinqi's cavalry had just reorganized on the hillside, and the ambush battle situation on the post road down the hill had already changed.

Most of the two Tatar cavalry who were ambushed were crowded on the post road and were in a dilemma. A small number broke out and rushed to the wilderness outside the ambush circle. A dozen more cavalry had already broken through the trench musket position set up by Zhang Chen and were about to fall.

Go over your head and attack them from behind.

At the same time, the two Tatar cavalry who rushed down the post road and broke through to the wilderness on both sides of the post road were also making quick detours in an attempt to outflank Li Lu and Hu Dabao from behind.

Yang Zhen saw this change in the situation and felt that he could not wait any longer. He immediately reached into his arms and took out the whistle, and blew it suddenly, and the sharp whistle sound of "?——?——" instantly resounded throughout the world.

When Lu Pinqi, who had just completed the formation and returned to the formation, saw this, he immediately took the spear handed to him by the soldiers around him, raised it toward the sky, and shouted loudly:

"Raise your guns! Raise your guns! All raise your guns! Listen to my order! - Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Lu Pinqi shouted "kill" three times in a row, started riding closely behind Yang Zhen, and rushed towards the battlefield down the slope in front.

And the hundreds of cavalry behind him also burst out with shouts of killing at this moment, and their morale instantly rose. Everyone raised their spears in the sky, and the cavalry formation in eight rows and twelve rows was like a forest of spears, like a car full of spears.

Like a huge chariot, it began to roll forward.

The speed of the war horse was slow at first, then fast, and finally started to run at the bottom of the slope. It was also at this time that Lu Pinqi shouted loudly without looking back:

"Hold the gun! Hold the gun! Charge forward and kill them all! Charge!"

As Lu Pinqi shouted, he leveled the long gun he originally held in one hand, held the gun barrel tightly with his left and right hands, clamped the back end under his right armpit, and leaned forward at the same time, getting ready to charge.

Although Yang Zhen was the first to rush down, he also knew that the charge on the battlefield was definitely not a solo battle. On the way down, he slowed down his horse speed and kept pace with Lu Pinqi, Ma Keqing and the cavalry escort arranged by Lu Pinqi.

shape.

At this moment, hearing Lu Pinqi's order and seeing his appearance, Yang Zhen immediately took out the modified Lumi gun that had been equipped with a spear in his hand, opened the faucet, held it tightly with both hands, and held it flat in his hand.

Yang Zhen quickly followed suit. It felt like in just a blink of an eye, the front row of his cavalry formation had already rushed to the edge of the chaotic battlefield.

The group of two Tatar cavalry that Yang Zhen had seen rushing out of the ambush site had turned around again, shouting and charging towards them face to face.

The clothes and armor worn by the two Tatars who are assisting the soldiers these days are still the same as those of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers in those days, but their smooth foreheads and braids flying behind their heads make them look extremely different, ugly and weird.

The distance between the two sides was not too far to begin with. As Yang Zhen's horse galloped, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed. In just a few breaths, they were already within a few steps of each other.

Yang Zhen did not have the three-meter-long spear under Lu Pinqi's command in his hand - to be more precise, it was an ordinary iron-headed spear. However, the modified Lumi gun in his hand was more powerful than the longer spear.

At the moment when the two sides were about to collide, Yang Zhen pulled down the leader of Lumi's gun. With a crisp gunshot, a cloud of white gunpowder smoke instantly filled his eyes.

Among the enemy cavalry charging towards them, one of the two Tatars, who was holding a shield and waving a saber, rushed to the front. He immediately screamed, fell on his back and fell off his horse, and was subsequently submerged in the galloping horses!

The two sides just met each other, and the dozens of Qitian Zhubing and two Tatar light cavalry who had previously broken out of Zhang Chen's musket blocking line were completely wiped out!

As for the number of people who fell on his side, Yang Zhen had no time to take care of it. He couldn't load ammunition on the horse, so he could only use the Rumi gun with a spear in his hand as a spear, and held it level with the heavy cavalry around him.

, after submerging the small group of enemies in front of him, he hugged the enemy's horse and continued to rush towards the chaotic enemy cavalry on the post road without slowing down.

"The trench ahead! Zhang Chen! Squat down! Zhang Guogan! Squat down -"

Yang Zhen rushed forward while shouting anxiously, reminding the heavy cavalry behind him that there was a trench ahead, and also reminded Zhang Chen and Zhang Guogan's musketeers to hide in the trench in time.

Because he was worried that more than a hundred war horses would rush past him in a dense formation along the post road, and they would trample his own people under the hoofs of the horses regardless of friend or foe.

Of course, his worries were completely unnecessary.

After some of the two Tatars' light cavalry broke through the trench defense line set up by the musketeers, a considerable number of the musketeers turned back to defend.

When Yang Zhen and his group of more than 100 heavy cavalry appeared on the hillside in the distance, Zhang Chen and Zhang Guogan received the news. At this time, they saw the heavy cavalry brought by Yang Zhen rushing down with a terrifying force. How could they not avoid it in time?

?!

Moreover, not only Zhang Chen, but also Zhang Guogan and the others had already noticed the sudden arrival of this group of heavy cavalry outside the battlefield. Even Li Lu, Pan Xi, Hu Dabao and the others who were further away from Yang Zhen had also noticed the battlefield.

sudden changes outside.

Li Lu and Pan Xi even cheered and immediately gave orders to their grenadiers and the pirates under Hu Dabao, who temporarily acted as grenadiers, to turn back and rush down specifically.

Small groups of enemy cavalry who were outflanking on the post road threw grenades, leaving the main battlefield on the post road to the heavy cavalry that quickly charged over.

What was expected to be a perfect ambush suddenly turned into a melee.
Chapter completed!
