I have to say that Duoduo's battlefield command ability is still very strong, and at a glance he found the most critical point from this battlefield filled with gunsmoke and fighting everywhere - that is, the nine 12-pounder cannons that were bombarding Yue Le's right flank.

With the existence of these cannons, the artillery that Yue Le relied on the most would be wiped out sooner or later, and it was impossible for the Qing army to retreat and hold the camp. Once the field battle is lost, there is not even a chance to catch your breath, and you have to start running away.

Considering that Beizhili is now in chaos everywhere and there are fortresses everywhere, it is not so easy to run back to Beijing City empty-handed.

Therefore, Zhan Dai's Bayala soldiers must defeat the Ming army's 12-pounder artillery position, and they must also succeed as soon as possible.

Because Yue Le couldn't stand the ...... for too long

However, Zhan Dai found that he could not attack immediately, because none of the old soldiers under his command were willing to take off the cotton armor and chain mail on their bodies, let alone the Eight Powers Bow and two pockets of feather arrows...... It's all good things that have been bought at a great price, so why are they useless?

Besides, the battlefield is so dangerous, and the two layers of armor are not very safe, how can you go to the battlefield naked? Isn't this going to die?

Although everyone is a warrior, warriors are also afraid of death!

Zhan Dai was born as a close minister of Dolgon's guard, and Duoduo let him take charge of his Bayala soldiers in order to encircle Dolgon's old troops, so he was "parachuted" Zhang Jing, who had no foundation in the army, and was not very easy to use, so he had to be patient and persuasive.

"This is the emperor's uncle's order, can it be wrong?

Besides, how much does a collar of cotton armor and a collar of chain mail weigh? At least seventy pounds, right? plus two pockets of feather arrows and an eight-force bow, plus some miscellaneous things, more than eighty pounds...... In addition, you are all big guys, and the weight on the horseback in the end is at least more than 200 catties!

How heavy are your horses? Can you still rush with so much carrying? Besides, the Southern Barbarian infantry doesn't even use bows and arrows, they are all muskets, and they are very powerful, and the shield cart may not be able to carry it, what is the use of the cotton armor and chain mail on our bodies?

It's our Manchurian heroes, who have taken off their cotton armor and chain mail for Lao Tzu, and they all brought spears and followed Lao Tzu to rush into battle! ”

As Zhan Dai spoke, he called his clothed servant over and helped him unload two pairs of heavy armor with a weight of no less than eighty catties, and he didn't mention a eight-force bow and two pockets of feather arrows.

The Manchurian vest soldiers are proud of their bow horses and hand-to-hand combat, and now that the armor is gone, of course, they don't dare to fight hand-to-hand easily, and then lose the bow, so what is left? Can you really rely on a spear to break through the infantry of the Southern Army? He himself thinks it's unreliable!

Seeing Zhan Dai taking the lead, and knowing that this was Duoduo's order, the vest soldiers below had no choice but to reluctantly start to unload their armor. However, most of the vest soldiers still left the chain mail on their bodies...... With forty pounds of wrought iron to protect yourself, you can always have a sense of security!

When Zhan Dai was busy persuading his subordinates to remove their armor, near Deshengdian, the two cavalry teams were already facing each other, ready to hedge.

One of these two cavalry was Aisin Jueluo. The 3,000 Manchurian vests commanded by Liuyong and Mulima together...... They didn't lose seventy or eighty pounds of armor, and they all wore them neatly.

On the other side were less than 4,000 "black lancers" commanded by Li Yuanyin, who were much "lighter", with only iron helmets and a pair of cuirasses to protect the vital points.

Although both sides had the calculation of charging into battle, neither side was a serious shock cavalry, so even a larger cavalry phalanx could not be deployed.

Li Yuanyin's subordinates set up a "cavalry group" of 32 in a company unit, which was really a group of groups, with two formations in front and back, each of which was 16 groups.

Each group had less than thirty lancers, placed in front to take the lead, and the cavalry that followed behind each had a saber - according to the practice of the Ming army's black spear and mule soldiers, guns and arrows were not allowed to be fired when charging in groups! Both the archers and the musketeers had to carry sabers and follow behind the lancers.

On the side of Liuyong and Mulima, there were twelve cavalry groups based on Niu Lu, and they were also in groups, a total of one formation.

The cavalry of the Qing army also led the spear cavalry, but behind the spear cavalry were all archers, and everyone had bows and arrows in hand.

Liuyong and Mulima planned to disperse the Ming cavalry with spear cavalry, and then use bows and cavalry to shoot arrows at close range.

The horns of the two sides sounded almost simultaneously, and the twelve groups of horses of the Qing army and the sixteen groups of horses in the front line of the Ming army began to advance almost simultaneously.

The horses on both sides are about the same, and they have all accumulated horsepower for a while, and whether they can rush up now depends on how heavy the knights they are carrying are. The weight of the Ming cavalry was lighter, so the speed of the impact was faster, and the force of the impact was greater.

In fact, the Qing army is not without a little advantage, and their advantage is that the cluster is larger. A group of almost two hundred and fifty cavalry, twice as large as the cavalry cluster of the Ming army. However, in the process of launching the attack, the cavalry group of the Qing army was divided into groups, a group of lancers and a group of archers, the lancers rushed forward, and the archers controlled the speed of their horses and followed behind. These cavalry archers probably wanted to take advantage of the spear cavalry in front of them to disperse the enemy and lean forward to shoot arrows at close range.

The most powerful thing in Manchurian cavalry archery was close range archery, and the horse armor soldiers would often rush to within ten steps of each other and release arrows. Shooting arrows at this distance, you don't need Manchurian warriors, and let the Ming army call Huazi soldiers to go, and they can be 100% hit.

However, as soon as their cavalry with bows lagged behind, there were not many people left with guns and horse armor, and a group of forty or fifty horsemen was not at all superior in the face of more than a hundred cavalry of the Ming army.

The quantity is small and the speed is slow, so what else is rushing? After the collision, almost all the Qing army's guns and vest clusters were "swallowed" by the Ming cavalry group on the opposite side, and the Manchurian warriors were either shot down by the opponent's spears or sabers, and some simply suffered a traffic accident of "horses hitting horses" and fell from their horses with their opponents.

There were also some lucky ones who rushed over intact, but don't be too happy, the rear of the Ming cavalry group rushed up...... This time, a hundred and dozens of horses bullied a maximum of one or twenty horses, and these twenty horses also lost their original speed!

Seeing that the vest of his own impact was broken, the waistcoat holding the bow behind him spread out in formation, and wanted to stick it to shoot arrows, but the Ming cavalry who had completed a round of impact did not stop fighting hand-to-hand with the Qing army vest that was scattered by them, but continued to fight forward, and intersected with the Qing army archers who spread out in formation. Before these Qing archers could react, the cavalry group in the rear of the Ming army rushed towards them......

......

"Manchurian warriors, rush with me!"

Zhan Dai let out a loud snort, waved his horse pistol, pointed at the place where the smoke was most intense in front of him, and then took the lead and rushed straight away.

He had already found the position of the Ming army's Hongyi artillery on the battlefield that was in chaos and full of gunsmoke! These Hongyi cannons were still firing non-stop, bombarding Yue Le's artillery positions to support the counterattack of Gao Jie and Qin Mingtao.

Yue Le was really not easy, relying on the more than 10,000 infantry troops who had already become tired soldiers at hand, he just carried the repeated attacks of Gao Jie and Qin Mingtao, and repelled the opponent three times in a row - his method was to concentrate artillery fire to disperse the phalanx of the Ming army, and then send sword soldiers to fight hand-to-hand combat against the smoke of the battlefield!

Because the infantry of the Ming army canceled the hand-to-hand combat of the sword and brand soldiers, they had an obvious disadvantage in close combat. Moreover, they did not have the shock cavalry that could make a final decision on the battlefield, so they were dragged into hand-to-hand combat again and again by the scattered Qing saber soldiers.

However, the nine 12-pounder guns of the Ming army were constantly "naming" Yue Le's artillery positions, and more than a dozen 3-pounder guns had been bombarded one after another.

As Yue Le's firepower became weaker and weaker, the collapse of the Qing army's infantry was imminent.

And Zhan Dai was at this time, under the cover of smoke, and suddenly rushed to the front of the Ming army's 12-pounder artillery position!
