There are 80,000 cavalry in the Qin army of 240,000, of which 40,000 are experienced cavalry soldiers, while the other 40,000 cavalry are well-trained but not rich in combat experience.
Of course, this lack of combat experience does not refer to combat, but to cavalry combat, especially top cavalry such as the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty.
Since the Qin army sent troops to Hebei, the cavalry of the Qin army has also experienced many battles, but without exception, they were basically all fighting with the wind.
The cavalry under the princes of Hebei cannot compare with the Qin cavalry at all. Even the second-line cavalry can sweep across, so naturally it cannot play a sharpening role.
Elite cavalry cannot be achieved through training. It must be tempered by blood and fire to truly forge a steel military soul.
Therefore, this decisive battle with the Manchu Eight Banners Army was to a certain extent equivalent to the second-line Qin Cavalry, the first tough battle since joining the army.
However, facing such a powerful enemy, the Qin army still did not go all out and sent out 70,000 of the 80,000 cavalry, but left 10,000 fine cavalry as back-up.
At first, Long Qie was a little confused. In his opinion, a lion must fight a rabbit with all his strength, and war, a life-and-death matter, requires all-out efforts. However, now he understood the intentions of his lord and the strategists.
The reason why 10,000 fine cavalry were left behind was to deal with Jin Wushu.
Although Jin Wushu had never fought against Long Qie, he could tell at a glance that the cavalry under his command was unusual. They were definitely the best among the best. For a moment, he couldn't help but panic.
"Three thousand heavy armored infantry come forward and must block this cavalry."
Jin Wushu quickly ordered. He was good at using cavalry. He knew very well what would happen if he was surrounded by the enemy and was approached by this cavalry.
The Qing army has never relaxed its intelligence collection on the Qin army, and naturally knows the power of the Qin army's heavy cavalry and heavy armored infantry.
Later, at the suggestion of Yinzhen and Yinzhu, Nurhachi decided to follow the Qin army's example and secretly formed a heavy cavalry and heavy infantry army. However, due to limited financial resources, the number of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry was naturally limited.
These two armies had not been exposed in the previous battles. Nurhaci wanted to use it as a trump card, but he did not know that this information had been sold to Qin Hao by A Gu.
Jin Wushu's task this time was very difficult, and Nurhachi naturally knew this, so he handed over the heavy infantry to Jin Wushu, hoping that he could buy enough time for himself.
Following Jin Wushu's order, three thousand heavy armored infantry hidden in the center quickly stepped forward with heavy steps, but they did not know that such a move was exactly what Long Qie meant.
Jin Wushu is best at using cavalry. As for infantry, he can only be said to be qualified, not very powerful, let alone the heavy armored infantry, which is the most difficult to use among infantry.
The heavy armored infantry were slow and slow in formation. If they could not get into position in time or form a good formation, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced, and Long Qie would obviously not give Jin Wushu a chance to form an formation.
Originally, if Jin Wushu formed a formation and defended it, Long Qie would still have to be wary of the Qing army's arrow formation and spear formation. However, Jin Wushu was afraid of the impact of the Qin army's cavalry, so he changed his formation at such a critical juncture and transferred the heavy infantry to
From the front, in Long Qie's opinion, this was simply an assist from him.
"Haha, Wanyan Zongbi is nothing more than that."
After Long Qie laughed loudly, he shouted an order: "Tenglong Camp, speed up."
"Kill..."

The Tenglong Battalion is Long Qie's exclusive unit. It has become famous as early as the Yellow Turban Uprising. Together with the Bawang Cavalry, it is one of the two major cavalry armies of the Ming Dynasty. However, the prestige of the Tenglong Battalion is overshadowed by the overwhelming reputation of the Bawang Cavalry.
Later, Bawangqi and Xiang Zhuang followed Zhu Yuanzhang, while Tenglongying followed Long and still served Emperor Ming.
With the marriage between Qin and Ming, this Ming Dynasty's most elite cavalry naturally fell into the hands of Qin Hao.
Both the Overlord Cavalry and the Tenglong Battalion have the most elite knights of the Han Dynasty. However, the equipment is too crude, and the combat effectiveness is naturally limited. Only the high command of the chief can ensure a high winning rate.
After surrendering to the Qin Dynasty, Qin Hao naturally would not let such elites continue to fight with those inferior weapons, and directly changed the equipment according to the standards of the elite battalion. This also gave the Tenglong Battalion a new vitality, which was completely different from the past.
language.
During the campaign in Hebei, under the leadership of Long Qie, the Tenglong camp was victorious in every battle without a single defeat, but this time it was left as a trump card by Qin Hao to specifically deal with Jin Wushu.
Seeing the sudden increase in the speed of Tenglong Camp, Jin Wushu was immediately shocked and regretted his hasty move just now, but it was too late to regret it now.
The Manchu and Qing heavy armored infantry had just arrived in front of the formation, but before they had time to form their formation, Long Qie's Tenglong Battalion was already rushing towards them.
The heavy armored infantry of the Qing army did not form a good formation, and secondly they did not have a weapon like the Mo Dao that could fight the cavalry with their feet. How could they get away with it in a close combat with the cavalry?
boom……
Without any surprise, the heavy infantry in the front row was directly knocked away by the cavalry, and the situation of the heavy infantry behind was not much different.
The Tenglong Battalion seemed to be poking through tofu, directly tearing apart the heavy armored infantry defense line and piercing the heart of the Qing army.
At the same time, under the command of Bai Qizhi, the Qin army had completed the closing process. Jin Wushu's 35,000-strong army was completely surrounded before he knew it, and became the center of the eight formations.
It is impossible to escape from this formation.
"Kill the Tartars."
The Qin troops from all directions shouted in unison and launched attacks from all directions at the same time. In conjunction with the Tenglong camp that had broken into the enemy's position, under attack from both inside and outside, the Qing army suddenly fell into the crisis of total annihilation.
Jin Wushu looked around and saw that in the blink of an eye, the Qing army was in danger of destruction, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"The gap is so big."
Jin Wushu knew how powerful Bai Qi was, but he thought that he could at least delay it for a while, but he never expected that after he actually faced Bai Qi, he would be beaten brutally throughout the whole process, without even the slightest ability to fight back. This was not his fault.
It caused a deep fear in Diao Qi.
