Chapter 783: Sheep Soup Is So Delicious!

When Ao Bai saw the cavalry in heavy yellow cotton armor forming a formation about 1,000 paces away from him, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart!

Because he knows that these once Manchurian powerhouses are now completely behind!

Their armor is too heavy, plus the weight of the knights, plus the weight of bits and pieces of equipment, it is definitely 200 pounds upward! And the war horse under the crotch is not strong enough, and it can't rush up with a weight of 200 catties.

If the cavalry can't rush, the power will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the Manchurian knights rarely carried out horse attack, and mounted archery, foot shooting, and hand-to-hand combat were their most common tactics.

Mounted charges are often the final blow to an already disorganized enemy infantry formation.

Such tactics were very effective against the Ming army, which could neither fight hand-to-hand, nor form a strong battle formation, nor have reliable firearms to use.

But the current Ming army is no longer what it used to be, and the musket in his hand is no longer a burning stick! And there are also artillery pieces that can maneuver in front of the formation!

To use dismounted cavalry or mounted archery or foot shooting to deal with them is simply to death!

Dorgon was already aware of this after the Battle of Bloodstream, so he began a series of reforms.

However, most of the old Manchuria did not agree with Dorgon's military reforms, how could they give up their real skills and learn the kind of new things that looked unreliable?

And...... There's a stake in that!

If the ability to fight hand-to-hand with bows and horses is no longer the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, but has been changed to a military system based on muskets, pikes and cannons, supplemented by cavalry of the forward battalion, then what about the interests of the old Manchuria of the Eight Banners?

Therefore, Dolgon has been engaged in it for several years, and the real success of the reform is the Guanwai aspect of Duoduo's supervisors, and there are not so many old Manchuria outside the Guan, and there are not so many rules and regulations.

And now the civil war of the Qing Dynasty is, to a certain extent, the "new Manchuria" fighting the "old Manchuria", hoping that the first war can wake up those old Manchuria who are stubborn...... Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will not last long!

Thinking of this, Ao Bai raised his horse pistol and roared: "Erke Chuhur!" ”

One of the Sauron horsemen who followed him immediately raised a spear with a striking black pennant.

The black pennant is the banner that leads the cavalry of Sauron!

At this time, the 2,000 Sauron cavalry had formed a team of 100 cavalry, forming 20 hundred cavalry charging formations - 500 cavalry and 1,000 cavalry stormtrooping formations were difficult to maintain, and required a long period of rigorous training to do so. Therefore, Duoduo and Aobai chose a small formation for Sauron's cavalry, which was a charge formation of 50 cavalry and 100 cavalry.

Now the 20 cavalry charge formations are divided into two waves, front and back, and begin to move forward quickly - this is the old tactic of the Qing army, the front dead soldiers, and the rear sharp soldiers. The sharp soldiers pressed the dead soldiers, and everyone rushed forward together!

In fact, these charging formations are not too tight, and they can't be boxy, just groups of lancers charging with their heads covered.

In the rumbling hooves, the 2,000 Sauron cavalry brought up the dust in the sky and rushed out of the momentum of shaking the earth and mountains!

When Ilde and Suohun's vest soldiers saw Aobai rushing here, they immediately launched an attack!

The hedge between the old and the new Manchurian cavalry began!

The horsemen of Ilder and Sohun adopted a combination of frontal charge and rangers, and a group of warriors with particularly skilled bows and horses attacked the flanks of Sauron's cavalry, trying to disrupt their formation with cavalry and attract them to engage.

And the rest of the cavalry rushed towards the Ao Bai headquarters in two waves!

But these old Manchurian cavalry are all armored, the armor is too heavy, and the impact speed is slow, and they are a little half-hearted when they attack, thinking about archery or hand-to-hand combat, so they don't have the spirit of rushing forward, plus the horses are a little worse, and they haven't practiced much group charge...... So the momentum is a lot worse.

That is, in the blink of an eye, the two groups of cavalry have collided together, this is a collision of two or three thousand horsemen! The battlefield was suddenly overturned on their backs, and I don't know how many people were knocked off their horses, I don't know how many people collided with the enemy, both fell off their horses, and I don't know how many people's chests were pierced by the enemy's spears!

However, Ao Bai was unscathed and did not collide with anyone. The cavalry group he was in charged well, and in one fell swoop broke through the oncoming enemy cavalry group. And by the way, knocked over or knocked down seventeen or eighteen horses!

But Ao Bai didn't dare to fight, his men were all unarmored cavalry, and once they fell into hand-to-hand combat, they would die! So you have to keep running at all times, while avoiding entanglement from enemy archers. The greater danger comes from the opposing team's "sharp soldiers", because the cavalry group that has rushed through the formation is already in a state of "exhaustion" and must break away from the re-formation, and let the horses accumulate strength before they can charge again.

So Ao Bai completed the turn in the run, not backwards, but to the right, passing through the front of the enemy's sharp soldiers, leaving the battlefield to his own rear (also sharp soldiers).

The reaction of the Sauron cavalry who had just been worshiped to the old Manchurian vest turned on their backs was not so fast, and many people were still looking for the lone Sauron cavalry on the battlefield to pick up the leak, and some were busy rescuing their comrades.

At this moment, the rear of Sauron's cavalry had rushed up like a landslide and tsunami! Then the old Manchurian vests who did not evacuate in time suffered first, and were immediately overwhelmed by the Sauron cavalry.

Then the rear soldiers of the old Manchurian cavalry and the sharp soldiers of the Sauron cavalry once again hedged, collided, and suffered heavy casualties......

After two waves of hedging, Ilder and Sohun's 5,000 vests were already in disarray, scattered on the right side of the Dodor army, and suffered considerable losses.

And the Sauron cavalry that made them so embarrassed was only a mere 2,000!

However, for the old horsemen of Yild and Suohun, the disaster was far from over, because behind the Sauron cavalry in Aobai, there were 2,000 old Manchurian horsemen belonging to Duoduo led by the Zhenglan Banner Baya Lama Zhangjing Kelkun......

When the cavalry of the old and new Manchuria had already decided the victory, the infantry of the two sides in the head-on battle also decided the winner!

After committing the new force of five infantry battalions, Duoduo's "Eastern Army" launched a fierce charge on the north and south lines of Shihe Village at the same time. not only drove the remnants of Fu Lehe out of Shihe Village, but also completely destroyed the more than 20,000 people of Geng Zhongming and Kong Tingxun.

Seeing that his cavalry and infantry were easily defeated by Duoduo, Azig was still unwilling to give up - he felt that he still had a place to follow. Therefore, he dispatched the vest soldiers at hand to fight a small counterattack, temporarily blocking the infantry of Duoduo, and wanted to gather the remnants and retreat to the Interception Mountain Ridge and the Dafeng Ridge.

At the same time, he also sent his son Flech Pegasus, who had just returned from Shihe Village, to meet Zilharang in Jianling, and begged him to immediately send troops to attack Dordor's flank.

When Fu Lehe arrived at Jianling, the sun was just over the center of his head, and it was almost noon. Smoke curls inside the walls of the Frugal Tomb, and they are eating!

Eating mutton soup with gnocchi, the whole Jianling is full of the smell of mutton soup, from the early morning to now, Fu Lehe, who has not even eaten breakfast, can't help but drool when he smells this smell...... But he gritted his teeth and drove away the worms, and walked quickly to the sacrificial hall.

In the sacrificial hall, there is also mutton gnocchi soup, and it is particularly fragrant - this pot of mutton is very much! And a lot of seasoning condiments are added, so it's good to smell it!

Jierharang was sitting around with his son Jidu, the Minister of the Interior, Sonny, the king of Pingnan, Shang Kexi, and Shang Kexi's younger brother Shang Cute, and was steaming hot!

Zilharang also saw Fu Lehe, and greeted him with a smile: "Come here, come here, let's eat together...... Hehe, the mutton soup that has just been cooked is used to use the fat sheep produced here in Jieshi Mountain, which is delicious! ”

Fu Lehe was already anxious, "Lord Zheng, you, you co-authored it to come to Jieshi Mountain to drink sheep soup?" ”

Zilharang smiled and shook his head: "Of course not, there is still business to do after drinking the mutton soup!" ”
