Zhao Bing's idea was very good, but it was impossible to realize it at the moment, but it was not impossible. At least they could be able to get rid of their skin, but everything had to be on the front. At this time, the battle formation of his own side had been formed, and the front army formed a front line with the guards as the main body; then the central army with the personal guard regiment and the mountain brigade as the core, the Weisheng Army and the Huaien Army as the two wings was backed by the camp; the rear army was composed of left-behind officers and soldiers from various units as the main force, and the baggage team as the auxiliary, and the strength decreased gradually, forming a pattern of strong in front and weak behind.

Looking at the enemy camp, from the general flag, the main generals leading the army to fight were Wang Ying, deputy Wanhu, deputy generals of Yidu, Zhang Heng, Taiyuan, Pingyang, and Wanhu, Longxing, Longxing, and Baoer Chi. The Yidu army is the front army, Longxing army is the central army, and Pingyang, Taiyuan army is the rear army, which is equivalent to fighting on the city. Both sides adopted the strong front and the weak front.

Among the enemy troops who went to fight, Yidu Army can be said to be old opponents, but most of them were divided by the Zhang Rou family. It can be seen that the Zhang family was so powerful that they were also the main force in the garrison of Ezhou; Longxing Wanhu was composed of the new affiliated army, and its combat power was relatively weak; Pingyang Taiyuan Wanhu was also composed of northerners, but the main force suffered a great loss in the war to attack Annan, and recruited troops from the military households and the new affiliated army, and its combat power should be the weakest.

Since there are lakes on the battlefield from north to south, neither side has arranged troops on both sides. Thinking about the nearly 100,000 people squashed in a region less than five miles wide and about ten miles deep, they also restricted the use of troops on both sides, and they could only use a head-on battle. At present, the Yuan army had filled two trenches and flattened the earth walls. The defense measures in front of the formation were only the newly-established horse-blocking squares, which were extremely thin.

"Your Majesty, it's inappropriate to set up such a formation!" Mrs. Xu also saw that the formation of the guards deployed at the front was too weak and could not withstand the impact, so she stepped forward and said with a polite manner.

"Your Majesty, sister..." Chen Dun knew what was going on and hurriedly said.

"It's okay, Mrs. Xu can say it clearly!" Zhao Bing waved his hand to stop Chen Dun and continued, signaling Mrs. Xu to continue.

"Your Majesty, I'm rude." Chen Dun's reminder still made Mrs. Xu a little alert, and first complained to the crime, "I'm watching the formation. After seeing the gate flag, there was a cavalry. Obviously, I wanted to break through our formation and take the central army. But I saw that Your Majesty's guardians had no heavy armor, no large shields, and long soldiers. There was only a horse-blocking grid in front to block the enemy, so I'm afraid it would be difficult to stop the enemy cavalry from rushing to the formation."

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that Mrs. Xu is saying very well. It is better to let the last general lead the army to set up a formation to block the enemy's front!" Qin Linfeng stepped forward and asked for the battle. He actually saw the weakness of the formation, but his years of experience under the command of the young emperor made him know that he never fought according to common sense and often defeated the more with less. In addition, the young emperor has a great reputation in the hearts of the army, so he naturally dared not say much. But when he heard Mrs. Xu come forward and make suggestions, he couldn't help but remind him.

"Which formation do you want to use to retreat to the enemy?" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked in person.

"Your Majesty, the last general will arrange a horse-resisting horse in front of the formation, send out infantry armoured soldiers, hold large shields, hold long soldiers in front, and then use crossbowmen to suppress the formation." Qin Linfeng said.

"Are you trying to use the Triassic Formation to resist the enemy cavalry?" Zhao Bing frowned after hearing this.

Zhao Bing, a famous general of the dynasty, was a battle method created by Wu Lin, the famous general of the dynasty, and Wu Zhan, who was a famous general of the dynasty, and Wuzhan, who was not able to stand up. The second was the strongest bow, the second was the strongest crossbow, and kneel to wait; the second was the god arm bow. If the thief fights within a hundred steps, the god arm will start first; if the 70 steps, the strong bow will be launched simultaneously; if the second was the formation. The iron hook is connected, and when the injury is injured, it will be replaced. If the thief is changed, the drum will be used as a joint. The cavalry, the two wings are covered in front, and the formation is formed and the cavalry will retreat, which is called the "stack formation".

When the Qiongzhou Army was first established, it also practiced this formation, but each military commander formed a "pure team". Zhao Bing felt that this organization was not in line with the combat environment at that time, so he changed it to a "flower team". However, the formation was passed on. Unexpectedly, it was still used in local rebels. Thinking about this, they had this condition. After the new army was trained, they supported all their own and captured armor to the rebels. They were mainly cold weapons, and it was feasible to use the Triassiding Formation to fight against cavalry with steps.

"Your Majesty said it is right. The last general has used this formation to fight the enemy. He has already practiced it well, but... he can still deal with it!" Qin Linfeng said hesitantly.

"Your troops have suffered heavy losses since the Northern Expedition. Although there are supplements, there is no training. Once the collapse of the formation is unimaginable, there is no need to force it!" Zhao Bing refused his request.

"Your Majesty, the last general has also practiced this formation, so let the last general come forward to meet the enemy!" At this time, Li Sanniang stepped forward and asked for his order.

"Don't mess around, your army is responsible for protecting the central army, how can you leave it lightly!" Zhao Bing refused directly after hearing this.

"Your Majesty... I am willing to issue a military order. If I am defeated, I am willing to do so!" Li Sanniang refused and said firmly.

"No!" Zhao Bing said coldly. But he cursed in his heart. This little lady is really stubborn. Even if she loses herself, she can't kill her. Otherwise, she would not be scolded to death by the empress dowager. She would have to be called "new and bored with the old". Although she has not had any new ones yet, she simply refused to take it down.

"His Majesty……"

"Retreat, if my grand guard can't even deal with these pieces of money, how can we restore the country?" Zhao Bing frowned and waved his hand unhappily to let Li Sanniang retreat.

"Miss Li, stop talking!" After being rejected for a while, Li Sanniang couldn't hold back her face, and stood there with her hands hanging down on the spot with her face on her face, which was very embarrassed. Everyone was embarrassed to come forward and persuade her. Chen Dun pulled her sister's clothes and squeezed her eyes. Mrs. Xu immediately understood, and smiled and walked forward to pull Li Sanniang to her side and sit down.

"Madam..." Li Sanniang's tears were almost falling from grievance, and she said in a choking voice.

"Your Majesty repeatedly refuses you to fight, and there is no other intention. It is out of love. You are really blessed!" Mrs. Xu patted Li Sanniang's back and said with a smile.

"Really?" Li Sanniang looked at the solemn little emperor again and said softly.

"Of course, if not, why would Your Majesty lose his temper in front of the generals?" Mrs. Xu stroked her shoulder and nodded. Li Sanniang's expression was slowing down a little, but she still snorted angrily.

"Li Zhen obeys the order!" Zhao Bing said at this moment.

"The last one will be here!" Li Zhen immediately stepped out of the list.

"I ordered you to command all units of the front army to defeat the coming enemy!" Zhao Bing ordered.

"I will obey your order and will definitely live up to your expectations!" Li Zhen received the order and stood attentively and saluted, without hesitation, turned over and headed straight for the front army.

"Go ahead..." Zhao Bing called Chen Dun and whispered a few more times in his ear. Chen Dun nodded and then got off the coaching platform and left...

After the two sides had their own formation, Zhao Bing stood up and looked at the battlefield. But when the enemy camp gate flag swayed, a cavalry rushed out of the formation and headed straight for his own formation. In fact, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. To be honest, it was the first time since the guards formed a military force. Even in the Battle of the Tomb, they fought against the enemy cavalry by relying on fortifications, but now they had to collide directly. He knew that the psychological pressure of being covered by fortifications and facing cavalry was completely different, and it could be said that it was a severe test for the troops.

Zhao Bing had long known that the most powerful thing about the Yuan army was the cavalry. He would have to face the enemy cavalry one day, so he strengthened military discipline, trained new troops, and replaced firearms for this purpose. At the same time, he also studied many battle examples and knew that even in open areas, as long as the infantry formed a formation, it would not be easy for the cavalry to win. It is not difficult to find out from the weapon configuration that infantry shooters are cheaper than cavalry shooters in non-mobile combat.

Because cavalry is limited by the horse's combat, they cannot equip bows and crossbows as powerful as infantry, and can only use cavalry bows with smaller power and range, and are only used as one-time strike weapons. Infantry can equip stronger, larger and farther crossbows because of the earth. At the same time, because of the earth as a support, infantry can shoot more accurately. The accuracy of cavalry archers is greatly reduced due to the bumps of horses. At the same time, cavalry archers are much larger than that of step archers and are more likely to be hit, especially mounts with relatively weak armor.

It is not difficult to see from it that whether it is for heavy armored cavalry or cavalry shooters, the killing weapon for infantry to defeat them lies in strong bows and hard crossbows. Because in combat, in order to form combat power, infantry must maintain a strict formation, thus lacking tactical maneuverability. The weapons they use are only faster than the cavalry's maneuver and must strike a longer range. Only in this way can they effectively defeat cavalry. The characteristics of this weapon are exactly what strong bows and hard crossbows are possessed. The Mongols, whose main force is light cavalry, were extremely angry about strong bows and hard crossbows, and in anger, they actually ordered the abolition of the manufacturing technology of strong crossbows.

But everyone knows that this is as ridiculous as modern demands to abolish nuclear weapons. The reason for this is that it is not easy for Mongolia to train a archer who is skilled in riding and shooting. Although they are a nation on horseback, they are often concentrated to learn riding and shooting skills at a young age, and it took more than ten years to get a good archer. However, the cultivation of crossbow archers is much simpler. A farmer can control a archer after a short period of training. This disproportionate consumption is also unaffordable.

Of course, it is impossible to defeat the cavalry by relying solely on strong bows and hard crossbows, especially for heavy armored cavalry with strong assault capabilities. Because these light infantry lack effective means to suppress cavalry charges, they must rely on heavy infantry or external objects, such as camps, chariots, fortifications, etc. The heavy infantry with certain training has the advantage of fighting against cavalry in front tactical defense, which can be found in the factual support of cavalry dismounted many times in known battle cases.

However, heavy infantry that has not been trained for certain is difficult to resist the charge of heavy cavalry, especially those mobs, whose morale is low and their fighting will not be strong. If they are not fully trained, once their heavy infantry is difficult to resist the charge of heavy cavalry, the entire army will easily collapse, because the shocking effect of cavalry charge is a weapon to effectively reduce the morale of the opponent. These mobs themselves have low morale, so they are easily depressed after the cavalry charge, and the entire army will collapse under the influence of combat psychological effects.

If training increases the requirements for infantry, in fact, in terms of the amount of training received by cavalry and infantry, even if the infantry is trained with excellent training, the training received is probably not as good as the cavalry. Cavalry of nomadic or fishing and hunting nations has been undergoing training since childhood, because the training process is the process of survival, I am afraid there is no motivation to support their training than fighting for survival! Compared with them, infantry needs to receive much less training, but as long as infantry is willing to sweat more, they will definitely shed less blood on the battlefield.

Zhao Bing's guiding ideology for training the new army to fight against cavalry is also here. Muskets are more powerful than strong bows and hard crossbows, and even heavy armor is difficult to resist. Training a musketman is much shorter than training a cavalry or archer. In addition, making a good bow is not easier and cheaper than making a musket, and the manufacturing and cost of arrows is much higher than that of bullets. Don't think that the arrows shot can still be used when picked up, as long as the arrow feathers are less damaged, it will be useless. Therefore, it is still very cost-effective from the cost perspective.

The only disadvantage of musketeers over archers is that their rate of fire is low, and they need to increase the fire density by the number of soldiers, otherwise it will still be difficult to resist the cavalry group charge. The method Zhao Bing came up with is to develop artillery to make up for the insufficient firepower. At the same time, when fortifications cannot be built or there is no danger, they can use the power of artillery to shoot and consolidate the position. Although the current guards have no fortifications to rely on, they have been able to arrange artillery positions, so Zhao Bing is not very worried.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The two armies were only about a mile apart, and a team of enemies came on horseback. They still had an old tactic that had not changed for a hundred years. They first used light cavalry to take turns to harass them. Once they found that the opponent's formation was scattered, they immediately rushed to the formation and opened the breakthrough, and then a large group of cavalry rushed in and destroyed the enemy formation. However, this time they miscalculated. When they approached the hundred-step bent their bows and arrows to prepare to fire, the Baizi Gun and Thunderbolt Cannon arranged at the front opened fire first.

Whether it is the Baizi Gun or the Running Cannon fired a rock at close range, how can the war horses wearing only leather horse armor block the projectiles that were shot through instantly, and the rider on the horse is not much better. The person who was hit either lacks arms or turns into a hornet's nest. At that moment, people are overturned and rolling down dust.
