The jade pillar still follows the old rules, with carriages on both sides and the army marching in the middle.

In Qinghai, Yuzhu had personally witnessed the classic tactics of cavalry charge.

As long as there are carriages to block them, the distance of 20 meters will be the graves of the cavalry.

For the five teams of artillery armor that followed, Yuzhu always treated them preferentially, no matter how difficult the conditions were.

They had meat every meal, traveled by carriage, and each person received a hundred taels of silver as a free departure fee.

With these five cannons, even if the firing speed is slower, they still play a vital role in consolidating and improving the musketeers' formation.

As for the cavalry who were temporarily recruited by Yuzhu, they did not receive as good treatment as the artillery armor.

They are all defeated troops. If they are hungry, they can eat some fried rice, which is considered good.

Moreover, when marching, these defeated troops must march with their horses in order to preserve the physical strength of the horses.

This is mainly the use of cavalry, and Yuzhu limits it to pursuing the victory instead of charging into battle.

To put it bluntly, artillery armor can help Yuzhu win, while cavalry can only be used to expand the results of the battle.

Warning posts have been sent out in all directions, but Yuzhu is not sure that they can convey the enemy's information back alive.

Because the opponent is a well-trained iron cavalry, and the sentry sent by Yuzhu is just an infantry who can ride a horse, which is completely different.

King Qin is here to reap benefits, not to bury his direct lineage.

When they were about twenty miles away from Changchun Garden, Yuzhu ordered them to rest where they were.

Because, Yuzhu smelled something was wrong.

Not only was there no trace of the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry along the way, but none of the warning posts sent by Yuzhu came back.

Nowadays, Yuzhu's subordinates, in addition to 800 direct descendants, are either artillery armor brought over or broken troops temporarily collected.

Since it was impossible for everyone to fight the enemy with the same desire, it was better to remain still than to move. Yuzhu simply let everyone rest before fighting the enemy decisively.

During the break, Yuzhu, like everyone else, had a mouthful of fried rice and a mouthful of water.

It is impossible to talk about the taste of fried rice, but it is better than filling your stomach.

Yuzhu didn't know where Ajintai was, but he knew where his advantage was.

After continuing forward, fifteen miles away from Changchun Garden, the terrain suddenly became clearer.

Yuzhu also responded accordingly and ordered a hollow gun array to be set up to protect the artillery armor and more than two hundred cavalry in the middle.

As for the extra two hundred cavalry, Yuzhu ordered them to rush to Changchun Garden and report to the emperor that he, Yuzhu, had come to protect King Qin.

Compassion does not command troops!

When facing battle, as a general, you will often encounter multiple-choice questions.

To put it bluntly, if you put aside the small group and consider the overall situation, someone will always pay the price of sacrifice.

Yuzhu was not a saint, so he would definitely choose to save his direct line soldiers, horses, and useful artillery armor, while giving up part of the useless defeated army.

Even though these defeated troops were all Lao Qi's subordinates, Yuzhu abandoned them without blinking an eyelid.

However, after these defeated troops escaped from Yuzhu's clutches, instead of fighting towards Changchun Garden, they fled backwards on horseback.

Lu Wu turned blue with anger and cursed fiercely: "Coward!"

Ma Qingfang also scolded angrily: "I don't dare to go to the garden that is so close. How can I expect them to escort me?"

Yuzhu smiled slightly, all this had already been planned by him.

The defeated soldiers neither ate his food nor took his pay, so naturally they had no feelings for him.

All fools know that going to Changchun Garden is extremely dangerous.

Therefore, it is only human nature for the defeated soldiers to choose to flee to the capital.

Gashi, the assistant leader of the artillery armor, sighed heavily and said: "A bunch of brainless idiots, a sheep in a tiger's mouth!"

After Yuzhu heard the words, he couldn't help but smile slightly, Gashi was indeed insightful.

It has been nearly seventy years since the Qing army entered the Pass, and more than 60% of the Eight Banners soldiers are unable to fight anymore.

However, objectively speaking, there are still brave people among the Eight Banners soldiers, and they have not completely decayed.

There were thirty groups of artillery armor. Except for Gash's five groups of artillery armor, the rest were not willing to take risks with Yuzhu.

What does it mean to stand in line at a critical moment?

Just look at Gashi and you will know!

The marching speed when approaching battle cannot be fast.

When Yuzhu's monocular telescope saw the high wall of Changchun Garden, a dozen fleeing cavalrymen ran back with blood on their faces.

Alas, out of more than 200 deserters, only a dozen came back. The rest are probably in bad luck!

Just then, the earth began to tremble!

Yuzhu had experience fighting against cavalry. He knew that this must be the result of countless iron hooves trampling on the ground and gradually starting to accelerate.

"Send the order, stop advancing and load the bullets." After giving the order, Yuzhu immediately turned the horse's head to face the incoming enemy behind him.

Yuzhu was confident that the British lobster soldiers' hollow gun array could defeat even the Emperor's elite French dragoons. It was indeed effective.

"Ga Zuoling, ask your people to load the sub-cannons and prepare for five consecutive rounds." Yuzhu's calm attitude towards the enemy clearly infected Ga Shi.

Gashi grinned and said: "Commander Yu, I know it from the bottom of my head. If I grow up with you, I will definitely get military glory."

Yuzhu knew in his heart that Gashi and the others were willing to take the gamble just to get some military glory. If they were lucky and could get a small title, they would be even more satisfied.

Why is Gashi willing to gamble with Yuzhu?

The logic is actually not complicated.

Yuzhu was a popular person around Kangxi, and his whole family was in the hands of the court. Moreover, Yuzhu's old subordinates only numbered 800.

Bringing so many people to rebel?

Haha, stop laughing so hard, okay?

I must admit that Gash has a very good vision and sees things very accurately!

"Commander Yu, don't worry, the boys are well-trained." Gash is not a fool. If his subordinates, the artillerymen, didn't have a few brushes, they would not dare to follow Yuzhu to die.

Eight hundred people, in modern times, is already a regiment.

Yuzhu was no longer a military rookie. He knew very well that Ah Jintai would definitely attack on two wings.

As long as a cavalry commander with a little experience is generally unlikely to command the cavalry to attack the infantry's tight phalanx head-on, he will adopt a strategy of outflanking the flanks.

The hollow spear array can meet enemies from all sides, so Yuzhu actually has nothing to worry about.

However, Gash's artillery soldiers only had five cannons. Yuzhu could only use the artillery soldiers as a mobile force, and temporarily move the artillery soldiers over according to the direction of the enemy's attack.

What is more advantageous is that the mother and child cannons weigh only a few dozen kilograms and are fixed on the gun carriage, making them very light to push.

It must be admitted that in the previous wars between the Qing Dynasty and Junggar, hundreds of portable and powerful sub-cannons played a key role.

However, it was precisely because of this temporary effectiveness that it blinded Kangxi and made the Qing Dynasty voluntarily give up on the technological progress of large-caliber field artillery.

As the enemy cavalry quickly approached, Yuzhu clearly felt that the ground beneath his feet was shaking more and more frequently.

Lu Wu put down the monocular telescope in his hand and said, "There are at least a thousand enemy troops rushing over."

Ma Qingfang nodded and said: "Shuai Yu, it seems that Ah Jintai wants to defeat us in one battle."

Cavalry combat cannot be the kind of luxurious scene written in novels, where tens of thousands of people charge together.

The small combat area has already been decided, and there is no room for so many people.

Based on Yuzhu's combat experience, a cavalry group charge of about a thousand people was already the limit of one wave of charges.

"Lu Wu, you go and command the left wing. Ma Qingfang, you go and command the right wing." Yuzhu gave the order decisively.

In a regiment's phalanx, it is impossible for jade pillars to cover every aspect. Someone must be on the left and right wings to direct them nearby.

"Hey." After receiving the order, Lu Wu and Ma Qingfang patted their horses on the left and right wings respectively.

Yuzhu has a monocular telescope in his hand, which is equivalent to having a cheating artifact. This is the huge power that technology gives to war!

A Jintai's cavalry charge advanced very quickly. However, with the help of a monocular, Yuzhu quickly discovered the enemy's assault target, which was indeed the flank.

The enemy's flank is the front of the jade pillar.

Yuzhu saw clearly that the enemy cavalry had begun to accelerate with all its strength, so he decisively issued the order.

"First row, squat. Second row, half squat. Third row, prepare."

This is the practical experience summarized by Yuzhu.

When the British lobster soldiers launched a line attack, each batch consisted of three lines in total.

Too many lines are not only useless, but can easily interfere with your own actions.

To the left and right of Yuzhu stood two messengers with good hearing and loud voices. They were responsible for conveying Yuzhu's orders to every corner of the entire line.

This time, Yuzhu's subordinates were all veterans who had experienced line shooting.
