The more they gather, the more likely they will be to encounter more fierce attacks.

The guest soldier subconsciously began to retreat, hoping that others would face the bloody gun tips.

This is a pretty bad signal.

Min Yuanqi saw it, and Yao Wenqian, Liu Zhigan and other guest generals naturally saw it.

The visiting central army sent out pond horses in succession, shaking the flag, and then the rumbling sound of horse hooves came from the right.

More than 800 cavalrymen rushed out from the right, less than half a mile below Qianhusuo City.

Because the battlefield was too narrow, the cavalry continued to collided with their own troops when they rushed out. Dozens of guest soldiers were hit by the cavalry, and they bleeded blood and fell to the ground and died.

Even the people who were trampled into mud by the herd of war horses, could scream in pain, but then there was no sound at all.

Liu Kecheng was unmoved. He was wearing mountain armor, which was the best among the iron scale armor. It was formed in the Tang Dynasty and became one of the thirteen types of armor that the Tang Dynasty must-win.

Of course, the best thing in Tang Dynasty was the Mingguang Armor, which was more complex in manufacturing technology and more solid and sophisticated.

However, in Daming Mountain, the literary armor is already the top of the armor. The striped armor leaves are stacked with mountain characters, paired with horns and necklaces, arm guards, heart protection mirrors, armor skirts and iron mesh boots, as well as iron masks and iron gloves, almost forming a complete iron armor whole.

Liu Kecheng did not wear an iron mask and iron gloves, and the other kits were basically complete.

This way, he could almost defend against the damage of all cold weapons, but Liu Kecheng was still full of worries.

Just as the musket was fired, he saw with his own eyes that the man wearing an iron helmet had his head broken, and his brain and blood were scattered all over the floor.

A musket bullet hits the iron armor, which is enough to cause fatal damage. The bullet will penetrate the concave iron armor blades, stir after entering the human body, causing the armored person to be injured by those who are not inferior to those without armor.

After the prevalence of firearms, one of the reasons why the Ming army did not weigh too much iron armor but cotton armor was this.

The defensive firearms, which have been tempered for thousands of times, are even better, which is why the crude firearms of the Ming army in Liaodong are not effective against the Jurchens.

Liu Kecheng felt very regretful. He originally thought it was just a casual war and he didn't have to take it seriously.

As a result, the cavalry has been in a very embarrassing situation these days, and the shortcomings of cavalry poor training have been exposed.

This responsibility must have been firmly put on Liu Kecheng himself, and he may have to face the anger of the general after he returns.

These cavalry are not all servants, but even if they are not servants, their training, equipment and treatment are extremely generous. As a result, they are extremely embarrassed when facing dozens of flag army rangers, which shows that they are perfunctory in their daily training. This is why Liu Zeqing knows it, and he must be very angry.

However, Liu Kecheng is no longer worried about these things now. What he is worried about is the cannons on the city on his left hand. The cannons are fired every once in a while, and the same is true for the cannons on the right. The shells have fallen into the open space not far away, and the mud and grass roots are splashing everywhere.

If it falls on someone's body... Liu Kecheng had a cold war and felt chill.

There are also muskets. Once they penetrate the iron armor, they will suffer severe injuries. Even if they survive, they will be infected and killed by the wound.

If the confidant is infected with the medicine, it is useless. It is not like the arms and legs. It can also be solved by amputation, or dig up meat to cure the poison, and there is still a trace of vitality.

Liu Kecheng fought against the treacherous in the army and saw the consequences of those who were hit by muskets and cannons.

The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he was afraid, but at this time he had no way to retreat. Liu Kecheng, with a cold face, led his cavalry subordinates to gallop and rush towards the flanks of the flag army formation.

The front is not good, and now there is only the only way to use cavalry to attack the flanks.

The big cavalry is extremely powerful when they march, and when they step on the ground, they feel like they are collapsed and cracked.

If the cavalry can circulate and attack on the flank, throw arrows, or constantly involve them, disrupting the enemy's position, the effect will of course be greater than the direct impact.

Strictly speaking, the cavalry of Liu Kecheng's troops were light cavalry, with only a small number of people wearing armor, and most of them were cloth armor, cotton armor, or leather armor.

The war horses were not worn with vests, and such cavalry could only be regarded as light cavalry.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, this kind of light cavalry could only intercept the enemy's food route or harass the flanks. If they shot bows and arrows on both wings, they would constantly harass the guerrillas to cooperate with the main infantry or heavy cavalry to break the formation.

In fact, cavalry battles fought against heavy cavalry during the Tang and Song dynasties. Before the early to the middle period of the Tang Dynasty, the reigns of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Eastern Qi and Western Zhou dynasties were inherited, which was the time when the development of classical Chinese cavalry was the highest, and the level of armored iron cavalry was the highest.

The horse has a full set of vests that have a face curtain to parasitic, and the protective power is excellent after being put on.

Coupled with the Xianbei knights who are skilled in riding and shooting and have super-strong horse skills, the East and West Wei battled bloody battles in Luoyang and other places, they used a large number of armored iron cavalry.

Whether it is the Eastern Wei or the Western Wei, each knight has at least one or two horses. Every time a cavalry war occurs, the lost horses are calculated in tens of thousands.

This expensive style of play is mainly because the Xianbei knights were originally from the grassland. They cooperated and competed with the Rouran tribe who dominated the grassland at that time, but the channels for obtaining war horses were relatively easy. The six towns established by the Xianbei people were originally almost in the Hetao and grassland areas, and the grazing of war horses and cavalry techniques were originally deeply rooted in their roots.

By the Tang Dynasty, the Xianbei bloodline was integrated into the Han military generals, forming the so-called Guanlong Wuxun Group.

It is also because of this that the Tang cavalry had extremely high combat effectiveness. Before the early days of disturbing the border defense with the Martial Empress, most of the Guanlong family and the Guanzhong prefectures defeated the Turks and Tuyuhun and suppressed the Khitan.

By the middle of the period, the aristocratic families were corrupt and the government system was not suitable for the wars carried out by border counties all year round. The cavalry began to be lighter and Hu generals and Hu soldiers who were more tough and more adapted to the tactics of light cavalry were also appointed.

By the end of the Tang Dynasty and the early Song Dynasty, even if the Iron Buddha Tu of the Jin people was a masterpiece of Chinese armored cavalry, the Mongols also attached importance to cavalry, but they were better at harassment and Lava tactics. Their cavalry was better and more suitable for light-armored heavy arrows to harass the enemy. They weakened the enemy by constantly pulling and harassing them. The cloth long encircled them to surround and attack the aid. The Mongols fought more skillfully and used cavalry tactics to the extreme, but it did not mean that they were the peak of heavy armored cavalry, but in fact it was not.

As for the cavalry led by Liu Kecheng in front of him, the word "Summit" of the Chinese cavalry must be no longer possible. They should be considered representatives of the trough of civilization.

Neither the tenacity of the Han army and the technical difference of the barbarians, nor the coldness and determination of the iron-clad knights during the Northern Dynasties, nor the glorious atmosphere of the Tang army, there was only chaos.

Simply put, it is a group of low-end cavalry who can ride horses and sway, and they can't even ride and shoot on horseback.

If the cavalry in the nine-sided north practices martial arts diligently, passes the skills of riding and shooting and cutting, and has fine iron weapons and armor, such cavalry will be enough to deal with the herdsmen on the grassland.

Especially in small-scale cavalry battles, after Jiajing, Mongolian believed in lamas and combat effectiveness continued to decline. The Ming army with more than a thousand people was able to rampant among Mongolian tribes of tens of thousands of people, and then successfully returned to the garrison after shuttle and slashing.

Ji Town, Datong Town, and Liao Town all have experience in small-scale cavalry warfare. In the battle between hundreds and thousands, the Ming cavalry's winning rate against the Northern Lu is still very high.

But if the Northern Territories gathered more than 100,000 cavalry and 200,000 cavalry, the small-scale Ming cavalry would be no match for them.

Even if there are too many ants, they can kill the elephants. Moreover, no matter how declining the herdsmen are, they can ride horses and shoot arrows. More than 100,000 people gather together. The big and small Taiwanese and Jiji have their own personal army, and gathering together is a military force that cannot be underestimated.

During the Chongzhen period, Lin Danhan was driven from Liaodong to Tumote's tribe by Huang Taiji, and he was able to capture Yulin, Datong, defeat the local Ming army, burn, kill and loot, and kill and loot tens of thousands of border residents.

It can only show that the military cavalry's tactics are too useless and are the lowest among the three major forces.

The cavalry in front of him looked amazing, but in fact the attack power was quite weak.

But Liu Kecheng was still full of confidence. He only knew that cavalry had innate advantages over infantry.

Impact, detour, and assault, and slash the infantry, and even if the war is not good, you can escape from the battle. Infantry will not pursue the cavalry with two legs, right?

With full confidence, Liu Kecheng made an impact hand gesture when he was approaching a hundred steps away.

The flag swayed, and the cavalry shouted, laying long weapons such as flat cavalry, long sword, long halberd, and long halberds, or pulling out short weapons such as waist knives and putting them horizontally.

In front of me were a team of flag infantrymen, and the cavalry rushed over with shouts.

"Don't panic." After Shen Liang took all the musketman flag teams under his command and retreated from the front line, he had been waiting on the right side. Seeing the cavalry coming, Shen Liang stood in front of the formation with his waist and back straightened.

Shen Liang, who had seen the battle of Dengzhou, did not see the hundreds of cavalry in front of him.

After only a few hundred steps away, the cavalry formation was crooked. The thickness of the entire cavalry formation varies, the speed and speed. The first one was only a few dozen steps away, and the back formation was still two hundred steps away. It was also a very outstanding commander to pull the cavalry formation into such a shape.

Even if the cavalry in Liao Town is inferior to the Jurchens, the cavalry formation will not be so ugly, right?

Shen Liang was full of contempt, but he did not slacken at all in his command tactics.

More than 150 musketeers were completely arranged into a single-character array. Just now, considering that the quality of the musketeers is uneven and they will not be effective until they are released at close range, so they also pulled back after one stroke.

This time, the cavalry was fighting against each other. The cavalry was faster and the impact process was very short. It would be great if it could be successfully released once.

When confronting the Dongjiang cavalry, the Dongjiang soldiers were familiar with the tactics of the Later Jin soldiers. The cavalry was involved in the front and flanks of the muskets. The number of muskets in Dengzhen was not bad, and the quality was not bad. They were also trained by the Portuguese, but under such cavalry tactics, they were quickly involved and collapsed. The gunners fired guns at will. The Dongjiang soldiers waited for the muskets array to collapse and started to attack after several rounds.

The Dengzhou Town soldiers were far from the tough and fierce Dongjiang soldiers, and they collapsed after a few rounds of attacks.

Shen Liang looked back on the past and his eyes became brighter.

The masters and generals of the various camps in Dengzhou were of varying quality. Sun Yuanhua devoted himself to casting tools, and the way to control the underworld was normal.

The equipment and training of each battalion are all unsatisfactory.
