It is certainly a good thing that the officers below have strong confidence. But this is not the time for personal heroism, how can Xin Honghai agree? In a word, who is talking too much, even the mission of a hundred people to fight will be canceled, and the battalion commanders below have really become honest. A hundred is a hundred, it's better than not sending one person.

According to Xin Honghai's intentions, the battalion commanders selected a 100-man cavalry team with ordinary strength from each battalion in line with the idea of tempering their fighting spirit in actual combat, and put together 1,000 men and handed them over to the deputy regiment commander.

It is worth mentioning that the leading officers of each battalion turned out to be battalion commanders and all of them were full-time positions. Xin Honghai naturally noticed this scene, but he didn't say anything, the officers below also wanted to go to the killing field to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, of course he couldn't refuse, after all, didn't he himself take the lead?

The convoy of water pulling in the distance got closer and closer, and it could already be seen that the 5,000 people who were driving the car were all depressed and unenergetic. Even the 1,000 cavalry were walking sparsely, without the slightest vigilance and formation that the cavalry team should have.

Although it is said that the grassland is now full of chaos, war is all the time. Many people are fine when they go out in the morning, but who knows if this will be the last time he will leave home. But in danger, there is generally no one to pull the idea of a waterwheel, it is too worthless, and it is too much to pay for these things.

Even the people know not to do things that are at a loss, let alone the cavalry.

Therefore, when the independent regiment suddenly appeared, and Xin Honghai led a thousand cavalry to kill from the side, the thousand Tatar cavalry still looked at them as if they had not woken up from a dream, and their eyes looked like idiots, as if they were saying, "Make no mistake, we are just a team that pulls water, and you also want to rob it?" ”

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The leading Tatar commander reacted only after a moment's pause, then drew his saber and shouted loudly. The intention is to summon back the army's military spirit in the shortest possible time.

"Kill!" Xin Honghai and the other thousand horsemen had already approached the position of less than one hundred and fifty meters from the Tatar cavalry at this moment. As the leader of the team, he shouted as he took out his bow and arrow, and fired an arrow at the nearest target.

The musket was not used because Xin Honghai thought it was not necessary at all. Even if it is cavalry, of course, it is better to bow and arrow at long range, which is also a kind of training for the team.

As Xin Honghai's arrow was issued, beside him, countless cavalry of the Independent Regiment also took bows and arrows, and shot arrows forward.

A burst of arrows fell from the sky, and dozens of Tatar cavalry could not dodge, and fell from their horses. But more Tatar cavalry fled with the speed of their horses, and at the same time began to shoot with bows and arrows, and the cavalry against the Independence Regiment played a threatening and lethal role.

The cavalry of the independent regiment was composed of the original auxiliary soldiers and the captured soldiers of the Ming army guard of the Nuer Gandu Division. Either they had no horseback riding skills before, or they were ordinary soldiers who had not undergone rigorous training, and even if they were given healthy horses, it was difficult for them to give full play to the real cavalry advantage.

Because of this, when this bow and arrow were fired in pairs, the inadequacy of the independent regiment was manifested. Facing the Tatar cavalry, who had lived on horseback since childhood, the two sides fired at each other, and after only a while, it turned out that the Tatar cavalry, who had not prepared in the slightest, began to gain the upper hand.

Yu Guang saw one after another of his own soldiers being shot with bows and arrows or falling off their horses, and if they were wounded and lying on the back of their horses, about 100 people were injured or killed in a short period of time. Xin Honghai was distressed, and he finally knew that his cavalry still lacked too much.

"No, we can't go on like this." There was a voice in his heart, Xin Honghai knew very well the strength of his cavalry, mostly to catch ducks on the shelf, they lacked time to run in with war horses, lack of time to train and fight immediately, especially bow and arrow training, whether it was shooting moving targets, or moving archery ability is still very weak. It was expected that a cavalry like this would suffer a loss in a confrontation.

Rome wasn't built in one day! Nor can a strong military combat capability be cultivated in a war II. In order to reduce losses, give the fighters more opportunities to train and survive. Xin Honghai made a decision and shouted loudly, "All the battalion commanders will rush with me and fight in close combat!" ”

Led by Xin Honghai, ten battle-hardened battalion commanders approached the Tatar cavalry from all directions, and under their leadership, more and more soldiers also stopped taking out their bows and arrows, and followed the officers behind them while making dodge bows and arrows while approaching the enemy cavalry.

Hu Mang was holding a telescope to look at all this happening in the distance, his expression awe-inspiring.

Before, when the sixth young master said that he would give them this task, in order to train and enhance the ability of the independent regiment to fight immediately, he was still a little unconvinced. Earlier, in the boulders, their separate regiment had defeated the cavalry with infantry. Now that they are cavalry, can they still defeat the cavalry?

The facts hit the tiger mang with a big mouth. Only then did he realize that he had been able to win only with the help of the power of the Bayi Bar, and when the musket was abandoned, his independent regiment was indeed nothing.

"Regiment Commander, Deputy Regiment Commander Xin's situation is not good, do you want us to send the cavalry battalion up?" The cavalry battalion commander of another separate regiment asked with some concern.

Ten new cavalry battalions were added to the separate regiment, which were adapted from infantry. In addition to them, there were originally six cavalry regiments, and in comparison, these six cavalry regiments were much more powerful. Although it was not as good as the Jurchen cavalry regiment's horse skills, with the superiority in numbers, there was no problem in dealing with this thousand Tatar cavalry.

Clenched his right fist, Hu Mang moved a little, and his breathing was a little heavier, but after a long while, he exhaled vigorously and said, "No need." The military will eventually have to go through hardships and risks. If it is always under protection, such an army will never be able to become strong. ”

Hu Mang did not order the main force to attack and help, this is because he knows that an army that has not undergone metamorphosis is not a strong army, because he believes in his deputy Xin Honghai and believes that he will definitely achieve the final victory.

did not disappoint Hu Mang, Xin Honghai really gave up the long-range bow attack when he found that the situation was unfavorable, and switched to melee combat, he had to rely on the extremely sharp saber in his hand to shorten the gap between the two sides.

When Xin Honghai rushed to the Tatar cavalry with his ten battalion commanders for the first time, when the saber in his hand continued to rise and fall, the cavalry formation that the opponent had just focused on was scattered, and the advantage of bow and arrow attack was suppressed.

The training of sabbling with sabers was all too familiar to the fighters of the separate regiment. When there were no war horses before, one of the things they had to do every day was to chop a thousand times a day. For this reason, I don't know how many fighters had swollen right arms, and some even fainted from exhaustion on the training ground.

The hard work finally paid off, and under the supervision and urging of the regimental commander Hu Mang, deputy regimental commander Xin Honghai and other officers, the soldiers' slashing and sabbling movements were not only fast but also powerful, and now they were changed to close combat, which also made their hard training finally pay off.

Jingle bell... The sound of the impact of the iron weapon, the weapon and the weapon collided with each other, and the previous suppression entered a state of stalemate between the two sides.

This stalemate did not last long, and as the saber continued to strike, cracks began to appear on the swords of the Tatar cavalry. The quality of the weapons became the biggest factor affecting the outcome of the war, and finally, after seven or eight slashes, the number of sabers in the hands of the Tatar cavalry was increasing.

The same horse, the same cavalry, the same high speed, one side has a weapon, one side is just holding a broken knife that is difficult to threaten the other party's life, what the result will be, is already predestined.

"Withdraw!" Seeing that the sabers in their hands were broken one after another, the faces of the Tatar cavalrymen who had been invincible just now changed greatly, and they turned around and fled. They had already seen two hundred water trucks, and five thousand people had been controlled by their opponents, and they finally decided to retreat knowing that there was too much difference in numbers, and they wanted to inform the generals of the news.

The Tatar cavalry fled, and with more equestrian skills than the cavalry of the Separate Regiment, they fled. All that was left for Xin Honghai was the tail of the horse and the back of the Tatar cavalry.

Although the Tatar cavalry fled, it seemed that the independent regiment had won the victory, but when the final statistics were made, it was found that they had killed more than 100 soldiers and wounded more than 300, but the number of cavalry left behind was only less than 200.

This is the first time that a mercenary army has been formed. Of course, this first time was the worst first. For this reason, Xin Honghai took ten battalion commanders and more than 800 cavalry soldiers with no injuries to the head of the Humang regiment with a guilty face.

"You don't need to ask me for guilt, you should ask for guilt from more than a hundred comrades-in-arms who have died. With the same number of troops, you still suddenly killed and took the lead, but the battle was so fierce, you can sum it up for yourself. Hu Mang said with a cold face. And after saying this, he took two hundred waterwheels and five thousand people who had just been captured and headed towards Shicheng, as the head of the independent regiment, he had to bear the main responsibility for today's battle, and he had to personally go to the sixth young master to ask for guilt.

Arakhuma has been officially renamed Shicheng by Yang Chendong.

After the name change, the city seems to be rejuvenated all of a sudden, and the city is a busy scene.
